Exploring the Effectiveness of GPT-3 in Translating Specialized Religious Text from Arabic to English: A Comparative Study with Human Translation
Authors: Banat Maysaa , Abu Adla Yasmine
Published: July 2023

In recent years, Natural Language Processing (NLP) models such as Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) have shown remarkable improvements in various language-related tasks, including machine translation. However, most studies that have evaluated the performance of NLP models in translation tasks have focused on general-purpose text, leaving the evaluation of their effectiveness in handling specialized text to be relatively unexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of GPT-3 in translating specialized Arabic text to English and compare its performance to human translation. To achieve this goal, the study selected ten chapters from a specialized book written in Arabic, covering topics in specialized religious context. The chapters were translated by a professional human translator and by GPT-3 using its translation Application Programming Interface. The translation performance of GPT-3 to was compared to human translation using qualitative measures, specifically the Direct Assessment method. Additionally, the translations were evaluated using two different evaluation metrics, Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) score and Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation (ROUGE) metric, which measure the similarity between the translated text and the reference text.The qualitative results show that GPT produced generally understandable translations but failed to capture nuances and cultural context. On the other hand, the quantitative results of the study showed that GPT-3 was able to achieve a relatively high level of accuracy in translating specialized religious text, with comparable scores to human translations in some cases. Specifically, the BERT score of GPT-3 translations was 0.83. The study also found that the Rouge score failed to fully reflect the capabilities of GPT-3 in translating specialized text.Overall, the findings of this study suggest that GPT-3 has promising potential as a translation tool for specialized religious text, but further research is needed to improve its capabilities and address its limitations.

Published: July 2023

Microsoft Excel is used to carry out reporting tasks in small and medium companies across the globe. Most people make reports manually in Microsoft Excel and the manual work takes a tremendous amount of time. The manual work can be easily automated with some effort in Microsoft Excel. This research is about the automation of report that was used to be made manually in Microsoft Excel.The present research is an extension of the previously conducted research (Kalwar, Shahzad, et al., 2022). The manual process to make the post-order costing analysis report in MS excel requires a lot of user time (22.80 minutes, just if there is a single order of only one article with one color), with the greater possibility of human error. Employees in ananonymous footwear company in Lahore used to generate the post-order costing report manually in Excel.Due to the above-mentioned reasons, it was proposedto automate the report using visual basic for applications (VBA) in Microsoft Excel.The planning and costing departmentof the company provided every single step required to make the report manually. A time study was conducted for each stepof report preparation using the stopwatch. VBA macros were programmed for automating all manual report-related processes in excel andthe accuracy of the report was also verified. After the report was automated, the time study was again conducted to measure the execution time after each click. A comparison of both methods indicated that the report automation saved 83.18% of employees' time Additionally, the automated method resulted in an error-free report, and the employee`sworkload was reducedas well.
A noise audit of the peer review of a scientific article: a WPOM journal case study
Authors: Bonavia Tomas , Marin-Garcia Juan A.
Published: July 2023

This study aims to be one of the first to analyse the noise level in the peer review process of scientific articles. Noise is defined as the undesired variability in the judgements made by professionals on the same topic or subject. We refer to evaluative judgements in which experts are expected to agree. This is what happens when we try to judge the quality of a scientific work. To measure noise, the only information needed is to have several judgements made by different people on the same case to analyse their dispersion (what Kahneman et al. call a noise audit). This was the procedure followed in this research. We asked a set of reviewers from the journal WPOM (Working Papers on Operations Management) to review the same manuscript which had been previously accepted for publication in this journal, although the reviewers were unaware of that fact. The results indicated that if two reviewers were used, the probability of this manuscript not being published would be close to 8%, while the probability of it having an uncertain future would be 40% (one favorable opinion and one unfavorable opinion or both suggesting substantial changes). In the case of employing only one reviewer, in 25% of the cases, the audited work would have encountered significant challenges for publication. The great advantage of measuring noise is, once measured, it is usually possible to reduce it. This article concludes by outlining some of the measures which can be put in place by scientific journals to improve their peer review processes.

Published: July 2023

Purpose.

The relationship between strength, power, and sports performance may have long-term effects on the development pathways of youth athletes. This study systematically reviewed the current evidence of strength and conditioning interventions among youngsters in competitive sports.

Methods.

The research was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines.

Results.

A total of 415 articles were identified, and 20 remained for analysis. All studies reported resistance training (RT) and/or plyometric training (PT) interventions as beneficial to improving youngsters’ overall physical fitness. The lower-body explosive strength, speed, and agility improvements were more evident in training plans that combined heavy RT and PT programs. The training frequency of twice a week was sufficient to induce strength gains. The results indicate that strength and conditioning programs positively influence sport-specific skills performance.

Conclusions.

PT and RT should not be implemented as single exercise interventions but as complementary programs to optimise physical and game performance. This study contributes to creating awareness among sports agents and coaches for integrating planned strength and conditioning programs with qualified instruction at least two times per week to improve young athletes’ physical development.

регионы. окраины и центры
Authors: Григорьева Елена
Published: July 2023

Весна этого года получилась насыщенной событиями. В апреле были названы победители открытого архитектурного конкурса на реконструкцию здания Красноярского государственного театра оперы и балета имени Д. А. Хворостовского (16). В Москве прошло годовое собрание Российской академии архитектуры и строительных наук (7–15). Среди многих серьезных мыслей о роли архитектора в контексте сегодняшнего непростого времени в программной статье академика Дмитрия Швидковского звучит особо актуальная для исторических городов (к коим имеет честь принадлежать Иркутск): жизненно необходимо как внутри градостроительного сообщества, так и среди деятелей соответствующих ветвей власти стремиться сформировать абсолютно уважительное, заинтересованное или хотя бы толерантное отношение к отечественному наследию – для укрепления патриотизма и чувства Родины у граждан России. Необходимо сохранение традиционных пространств и типов зданий и восстановление их, где это возможно (8). Об актуальной выставке «Восстановление разрушенных городов» рассказывает ее идеолог и автор академик Дмитрий Буш (12). Ну а главная тема посвящена регионам и меняющимся отношениям центров и окраин. В этом тысячелетии начинает бурно развиваться сетевая модель мировосприятия, и в Дискуссионном клубе ПБ, модерируемом Константином Лидиным, мы говорим о многомерном пространстве, в котором одновременно существует множество центров и, соответственно, множество периферий. Понятие центра, таким образом, становится относительным: любое место можно назвать центром, если подобрать к этому подходящую плоскость, в которой расположена подходящая сеть. В теоретических статьях наших постоянных авторов обсуждается развитие традиционных понятий – центра и периферии, «сердца» города, национальной архитектуры. На конкретных примерах поселений Арктической России и старинного Курска рассмотрены новые смыслы, делающие эти места центрами внимания.

Published: July 2023

Workplace stress or professional stress is a specific type of stress that is highly prevalent among police officers. Police officers are exposed to high levels of stress and its negative impact ontheir physical and mental health, as well as their social lives. The aim of this research is to determine the attitudes regarding the connection between physical fitness and stress prevention among police officers. The sample consists of 516 employees from police departments in the Central Bosnia Canton. The sample is structured with 312 male participants and 204 female participants. Both descriptive and analytical methods were applied in this research, as the descriptive method was used to describe the distribution of the studied phenomenon, while the analytical part followed the logic of the research. Analyzing all the results, it can be concluded that there is a high level of satisfaction with the management of work processes among police officers and with stress reduction in the workplace. The conclusion arises about the necessity of increasing the number of hours of police training, primarily for basic and investigative police work, in stress prevention among police officers. The results of comparative analysis indicate that there is no statistically significant difference among participants based on gender. The results show that the age of the participants significantly influences their attitudes towards overall satisfaction with management quality. Theresults suggest that participants who have been employed the longest and make the most use of the existing infrastructure express more positive attitudes.Key words:police, stress, physical fitness, burnout, prevention.

Climate Intervention using marine cloud brightening (MCB) compared with stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) in the UKESM1 climate model
Authors: Haywood James Matthew , Jones Andy , Jones Anthony Crawford , Rasch Philip J.
Published: July 2023

Abstract. The difficulties in using conventional mitigation techniques to maintain global mean temperatures well below 2 °C compared with preindustrial levels have been well documented, leading to so-called ‘climate intervention’ or ‘geoengineering’ research whereby the planetary albedo is increased to counterbalance global warming and ameliorate some impacts of climate change. In the scientific literature, the most prominent climate intervention proposal is that of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), although proposals for marine cloud brightening (MCB) have also received considerable attention. In this study, we design a new MCB experiment (G6MCB) for the UKESM1 Earth system model which follows the same baseline and cooling scenarios as the well-documented G6sulfur SAI scenario developed by the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) and compare the results from G6MCB with those from G6sulfur. The deployment strategy used in G6MCB injects sea-salt aerosol into four cloudy areas of the eastern Pacific. Despite MCB being intended as a technique to modify clouds, much of the radiative effect in G6MCB is found to derive from the direct interaction of the injected sea-salt aerosols with solar radiation. The results show that while G6MCB can achieve its target in terms of reducing high-end global warming to moderate levels, there are several side-effects. Some are common to SAI, including overcooling of the tropics, and residual warming of mid-and high latitudes. Others side effects specific to common choices of MCB regions include changes in monsoon precipitation, year-round increases in precipitation over Australia and the maritime continent and increased sea-level rise around western Australia and the maritime continent; these results are all consistent with a permanent and very strong La Niña-like response being induced in G6MCB. It should be stressed that the results are extremely dependent upon the strategy chosen for MCB deployment. As demonstrated by the development of SAI strategies which can achieve multiple temperature targets and ameliorate some of the residual impacts of climate change, much further work is required in multiple models to obtain a robust understanding of the practical scope, limitations, perils and pitfalls of any proposed MCB deployment.
Revisiting ice sheet mass balance: insights into changing dynamics in Greenland and Antarctica from ICESat-2

Published: July 2023

Abstract. The time series of observations from NASA’s latest satellite laser altimetry, the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) are now mature to revisit the methodology for estimating surface elevation change and mass balance of ice sheets as proposed by Sørensen et al. (2011). Following the original ICESat study, we combine the derived ICESat-2 surface elevation change estimates with modelled changes of both the firn and the vertical bedrock to derive the total mass balance of the ice sheets, during the northern hemisphere mass balance years of October 2018 to September 2021. The method of converting the surface elevation change to mass balance change has been refined to obtain more reliable mass balance results for both ice sheets. From 2018 to 2021, we find that the grounded ice sheet in Antarctica has lost 135.7±27.3 Gt year-1, and the Greenland ice sheet 237.5±14.0 Gt year-1. Compared to 2003–2008, the ICESat-2 derived mass change of the Greenland ice sheet has a similar magnitude; however, the spatial pattern is changed and we observe reduced ice loss around Jakobshavn Isbræ and in the southeast accompanied by increased loss almost everywhere else and especially in the northern sector of the ice sheet. Our results show pervasive ice sheet loss across much of Greenland in recent years and an increase in loss from Antarctica compared to earlier studies. Parallels between the two ice sheets revealed by ICESat-2 data reflect atmospheric and oceanic drivers and show the importance of understanding ice sheets as components within the Earth system.
Impact of wind profiles on ground-generation airborne wind energy system performance
Authors: Sommerfeld Markus , Dörenkämper Martin , De Schutter Jochem , Crawford Curran
Published: July 2023

Abstract. This study investigates the performance of pumping-mode ground-generation airborne wind energy systems (AWESs) by determining cyclical, feasible, power-optimal flight trajectories based on realistic vertical wind velocity profiles. These 10 min profiles, derived from mesoscale weather simulations at an offshore and an onshore site in Europe, are incorporated into an optimal control model that maximizes average cycle power by optimizing the trajectory. To reduce the computational cost, representative wind conditions are determined based on k-means clustering. The results describe the influence of wind speed magnitude and profile shape on the power, tether tension, tether reeling speed, and kite trajectory during a pumping cycle. The effect of mesoscale-simulated wind profiles on power curves is illustrated by comparing them to logarithmic wind profiles.
Offshore, the results are in good agreement, while onshore power curves differ due to more frequent non-monotonic wind conditions. Results are references against a simplified quasi-steady-state model and wind turbine model. This study investigates how power curves based on mesoscale-simulated wind profiles are affected by the choice of reference height. Our data show that optimal operating heights are generally below 400 m with most AWESs operating at around 200 m.

Authors: Batool Iffat , Khan Muhammad Zohaib , Tariq Shah Rukh
Published: July 2023

The current study aimed to develop and validate the measure of psychological capital (Pychological Capital Scale; PCS)) for dual roles individuals. A conceptual referent theory of positive psychological capital anticipated by Luthans et al. (2004) guided for development of the instrument. Further, factor analysis and reliability of PCS were determined on the sample of 150 dual-role individuals belonging to various educational institutes, government and private organizations, hospitals, software houses, and private firms of Punjab. Additionally, 21 items of the PCS were subjected to principal component analysis and emerged four factors. Each item loaded at above .45 on four factors, labeled as Goal orientation (7 items; 31.07% variance), Optimism (6 items; 8.09% variance), Self-efficacy (5 items; 7.17% variance), and Resilience (3 items; 6.08% variance). The scale items exhibited a high level of internal consistency, which was supported by the reliability estimates of the alpha coefficient (?=.89) and item-total correlation (ranging from .29 to .62, p<.05). The construct validity of the instrument was established with a Positive Psychological Capital (PPC) Scale (Luthans et al., 2004) and a Stress Scale (subscale of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) (Osman et al., 2012) on the sample of dual-role individuals. Additionally, confirmatory factor analysis of the measurement model indicated a four-factor solution for measuring psychological capital. Furthermore, the reliability and validity analyses of the scale demonstrated its high reliability and validity in assessing the level of psychological capital in individuals with dual roles. The scale's psychometric properties are further examined, along with limitations and suggestions.

The Chronology of Economic Instabilities of the EAEU Countries
Authors: HOVSEPYAN MERI
Published: July 2023

As economic history has shown, economic instabilities that originate in one country can be transmitted through various mechanisms and affect not only individual countries but also integration associations and their integration processes and economic developments. Moreover, if in the initial period this impact is noticeable only for the economic prospects of the trading partners, later it gains a global character and affects other partner countries after a certain time lag. Considering recent economic developments, the same pattern is applied in the case of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Being former members of the USSR, EAEU member countries have faced systemic crises since their independence until these days.
This article summarizes the chronology of the economic crises that took place in the EAEU member states, elaborates, clarifies, and classifies their characteristics. Based on this, the author aims to explore the differences and similarities of the economic development cycles of the EAEU countries.

Effect of Nitrate on Oral Health Status among General Population Residing in High and Low-Level Nitrate Blocks in Erode District, Tamilnadu, India - A Cross Sectional Study
Authors: V Gousalya , D Prabu , Mohan M Raj
Published: July 2023

Background: Nitrate levels in our water resources have risen in many parts of the world, owing primarily to the use of inorganic fertilizers and animal manure in agricultural areas. When nitrate is consumed under conditions that promote the formation of N-nitroso compounds, the risk of certain cancers and congenital disabilities may increase.
Aim: The study aims to evaluate the nitrate levels in groundwater and their effect on oral health status among the general population of Erode district, Tamil Nadu, India.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the general population of index age groups 5 yrs, 12 yrs, 15 yrs, 35-44 yrs and 65-74 yrs. A total of 540 subjects participated in the study. The Oral Health Assessment form, WHO 2013 was used for assessing dental caries, enamel fluorosis and oral mucosal lesions. Clinical examination was performed using Type III clinixal examination. Data were processed and analyzed using SPSS version 26. A Chi-square test was employed to analyze the difference between the high and low fluoride nitrate blocks.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the high and low nitrate blocks, with a p-value of 0.062. Statistically significant differences were found between the index age groups for the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions (p-value <0.001)
Conclusion: This study's contradictory finding emphasizes the importance of drinking water and Central Ground Water Board Ministry of Water Resources should plan and organize a team for the upgradation of the water quality in India. Such lacunae might be due to the unqualified manpower, meticulous ground work can be done efficiently by Public Health dentist alone but they are not recruited for the Central, State and District level Officials. Hence the Public Health Dentist should be recruited as a District Oral Health Officer for formulating a meticulous plan to solve the community dental problem.

Determinants of Short Birth Intervals in Northern and Southern Nigeria: Analysis of Demographic and Health Survey Data

A Short birth interval (SBI) is a reproductive and public health problem in Nigeria and other developing nations. This is because of its adverse effects on mothers and their children. SBI might differ in Northern and Southern Nigeria due to variations in the socio-demographic construct and socio-cultural practices. The adolescent birth and total fertility rates are higher in the North than in the South. Also, early childbearing is higher in the North than in the South. This study aimed to estimate the magnitude and determinants of SBI in Northern and Southern Nigeria. This study utilized the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (2018 NDHS). Statistical analyses were descriptive analysis and binary logistic models. The association between outcome and predictors was estimated using odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI). A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The prevalence of SBI Northern Nigeria was 20.6% (95% CI=19.8% - 22.1%), while that of the Southern region was 20.5% (95% CI= 19.2% - 21.9%). After controlling for other factors, the age of women, religion, education level, marital status, employment status and the number of children ever born were significantly associated with SBI in northern and southern Nigeria, whereas the number of antenatal care (ANC) visits was only significant in Northern Nigeria. There was no regional inequality in short birth interval between southern and northern Nigeria as regards the prevalence and factors. We recommend that public health professionals should involve religious leaders in their deliberations and campaign for modern contraception. Also, exclusive breastfeeding should be encouraged as a natural spacer among mothers across the two regions in the first few months of delivery for their health and that of the children. The use of local means of communication in communities without access to modern means of communication like television and radio should also be encouraged. Women in the northern region will benefit from health education related to antenatal care.

Nanosuspensions in Pharmaceutical Sciences:
A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Shahidulla S M , Miskan Risha , Sultana Sana
Published: July 2023

Regardless of the method of administration, the solubility of drugs is essential to their efficiency. However, many newly discovered drugs suffer from poor water solubility and low bioavailability, leading to limited development efforts. Nanosuspension technology offers a solution for these "Brickellia" candidates by enhancing their solubility and bioavailability. Nanosuspensions improve medication stability and can be easily prepared for water-insoluble drugs using techniques such as high-pressure homogenizers, wet mills and emulsion solvent evaporation. Additives like stabilizers, solvents, buffers, salts, and cryoprotectants can be used. Nanosuspensions can be administered orally, parenterally, intravenously, and can be combined with ocular inserts and mucoadhesive hydrogels for targeted drug delivery.
