Formant Frequency Analysis of Quranic Alphabets in Sukoon Pronunciation Between Adult Male and Female Experts

The recitation of the Holy Quran is an essential activity for all Muslim around the world, where reading the Quran in its proper manner according to the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) will be rewarded. Traditionally the learning takes place thorough face to face session where the teacher will correct the recitation of the student. The learning normally started with recognizing the alphabet and its characteristics. There is no proof that one has pronounced the alphabet correctly except by hearing and looking at the student. This resulted in the rise of the development of Quranic recitation tools based on the speech, and image recognition. In this paper, formant features were extracted from the sukoon (Â°) pronunciation of Quranic alphabets by male and female expert reciters. The Quranic alphabets pronunciation signals were grouped according to the range of the first and second formant frequencies (F1 and F2), for both male and female experts. The result shows that female pronunciations gave higher values of F1 and F2 than male pronunciation for most of the Quranic alphabets. As for the alphabets, the pronunciation of the O£O´U’ (Ash) has the highest F1 and F2 values for both male and female. Classification of alphabets were done using linear and quadratic discriminant analysis. The features of both experts will later be used as the reference in the overall Makhraj learning platform.
Effect of Shatt Al-Arab Salinity on the Groundwater of Al-Fao and Al-Siba in Southern Iraq

This study was conducted to estimate the extent of damage to the population in Basra, southern Iraq, specifically the areas adjacent to the Shatt al-Arab and the Arabian Gulf, which are the Al-Fao district and the Al-Siba region. They are affected by the progression of saline water resulting from the lack of water imports and the Karun River interruption, which led to high concentrations of salts in the Shatt Al-Arabs. Consequently, its effect on lands and all life types in these areas requires correcting a map of the study area to drop the groundwater sites as well as calculate the total dissolved salts, electrical conductivity and pH. This study concluded that the groundwater contains very high percentages of total dissolved solids (2880–10415 mg/l) and electrical conductivity (4450–14190 µs/cm). As it has very high salinity, so it is not suitable for drinking, irrigation, or industry. The values of the pH values (7.1-7.5) indicate that it is a light alkaline.

Forms of Gold and Arsenic in Surface Sediments at the Novye Peski Gold Deposit and Their Sorption by Humic Acid

Forms of gold and arsenic, as one of the main pathfinders, were researched in the podzolic, illuvial, and parent material horizons of podzol soil at the Novye Peski gold deposit. Forms of gold and arsenic were studied with the sequential extraction method. The results of this study showed that the main forms of gold are water-soluble, bound to organic matter, and “insoluble”; for arsenic: bound to Fe and Mn-(oxy)hydroxides and bound to organic matter. The form bound to organic matter was considered in detail and gold and arsenic were analyzed in humic and fulvic acids solutions extracted from podzol soil. It was determined that gold is mainly bound to humic acid (HA), and arsenic to fulvic acid. Due to the prevalence of the form of gold bound to humic acid, the modelling process of different gold and arsenic (III) contents sorption on solid humic acid were observed and data on quantity of adsorbed ions per unit mass of HA and recovery ratio were obtained. More than 90% gold recovery rate was observed for concentrations less than 10 µg/cm3 and for arsenic it was in a range of 8–15%.
Neural Symbolic Regression that scales

Symbolic equations are at the core of scientific discovery. The task of discovering the underlying equation from a set of input-output pairs is called symbolic regression. Traditionally, symbolic regression methods use hand-designed strategies that do not improve with experience. In this paper, we introduce the first symbolic regression method that leverages large scale pre-training. We procedurally generate an unbounded set of equations, and simultaneously pre-train a Transformer to predict the symbolic equation from a corresponding set of input-output-pairs. At test time, we query the model on a new set of points and use its output to guide the search for the equation. We show empirically that this approach can re-discover a set of well-known physical equations, and that it improves over time with more data and compute.
Techniques Used to Capture Skeletal Information and Their Performance Accuracy: A Literature Review

Capture techniques show the skeleton-based movement recognition and hidden advantages of a skeleton, which is an active topic in computer -vision. As a result, there are a lot of impressions in handcraft characteristics and covered works that were carried out for decades based on the found out aspect. However, preceding research on movement recognition, focus on styles that dominate video or RGB facts and present-day evaluations are associated with particular indicative illustrations of skeletal facts or a few traditional performances. The authors collected articles from Elsevier, Scopus, Research portal, and dissertation on skeletal representation for review. 12 documents, studies, and abstracts are identified and reviewed, and many skeleton representations extract techniques that include RGB-D sensor, 3D, video image review, handcrafted features, graph signal processing, res_tcn, geometric modification and optical motion capture system(marker-based system). Several consecutive themes emerged from the study of real-time active action recognition and the structure of human joints, descriptor, and points within the lying group, frequency change, and spatial-temporal representation are also discussed for the measurement of tools and methods.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO EFL LEARNERS’ SPEAKING PERFORMANCE

This research investigated the factors contributing to learners’ speaking performance and exploring the reasons why those factors are perceived by learners to contribute to their speaking performance. This was descriptive research that used both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The participants of this research were 28 EFL learners who were selected by using cluster random sampling. Closed-ended questionnaires, open-ended questionnaires, and interviews were used to collect the data. The data from closed-ended questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively using the descriptive statistics of frequencies and percentages, while the data from open-ended questionnaires and interviews were analyzed qualitatively. Data from all sources were triangulated to validate the data. The result of the closed-ended questionnaire showed that the factors which contribute the most to learners’ speaking performance were the time for preparation and topical knowledge with the same percentages (97.4%). The least factor that contributes to learners’ speaking performance was the pressure to perform well (60.5%). Those factors contribute to learners' speaking performance in both positive and negative ways. These influences can either help motivate learners to speak English or even discourage them from doing so. It all depends on how learners’ value, respond to, and behave towards those factors. Furthermore, this research also gives contributions on factors that contribute to learners' speaking performance; those are vocabulary and interaction with native speakers.
Features of Diagnostics, Development and Formation of Communicative Universal Educational Actions of Primary Schoolchildren

The article is devoted to the problem of the primary school students` communicative general educational actions’ development. The actions presented in the Federal State Educational Standard of primary general education and their significance for the development of the child’s personality and the success of his school life are considered. The relevance of the selected problem is confirmed by the study conducted among teachers and primary school students. Analysis of the results of teachers` survey about the place of communicative actions in the system of general educational actions’ formation has shown that primary school teachers do not consider the process of forming these actions difficult and do not attach due importance to it. Special attention is paid to the methods of diagnosing the communicative actions of primary school children, and the need to study them in the process of observing specially organized situations of children`s joint activity is noted. The analysis of the results of studying the peculiarities of the communicative skills development of first-graders and third-graders allowed us to conclude that it is difficult for students to work together, find compromises, prove their point of view and conduct a dialogue. The article also reveals the features of the formation of the communicative actions of primary schoolchildren in the group of regular and extracurricular activities are revealed. Some features of the use of sociogame technology in teaching primary school children, describes the basic principles of using technology for the formation of communicative skills. The article reveals the possibilities and features of organizing collective creative work in primary school in order to form communicative general educational actions of younger students. Keywords: communication, communicative skills, general learning actions, communicative general learning actions, diagnostics of communicative general learning actions of primary school students, sociogame technology, collective creative work

Electroacoustic Experiments of the Art Zoyd and Their Implementation in Soundtracks for Silent Films

The article is devoted to the work of Art Zoyd, a French group whose experimental style is often defined by modern researchers as “la musique nouvelle” (from the French — “new music”) and is viewed through the prism of the genre-style dialogue between rock and contemporary academic music. The idea of “metamusic”, expressed in the co-creation of several composers, as well as in the unity of visual, plastic, and musical components, is also important for understanding the style of the group. This trend is especially closely related to the personality of one of the founders of the group, Gerard Hourbette, who combines the gift of a composer with the talent of a programmer. The obvious reliance on the achievements of electroacoustic music, the desire to combine the scientific understanding of the phenomenon of sound with the implementation of practical musical projects (expressed in the creation of the research and creative center Art Zoyd Studios), make him related to the figure of the pioneer of musique concrète and the founding father of Groupe de Recherches Musicales, Pierre Schaeffer. The idea of the synthesis of the arts is reflected in the innovative multimedia performances of the group, as well as in the soundtracks to silent films. The article analyzes the sound scores for the films Nosferatu by Friedrich Murnau, Häxan by Benjamin Christensen, The Fall of the House of Usher by Jean Epstein.
