Google Translate Errors in Legal Texts: Machine Translation Quality Assessment
Authors: Rashed Alkatheery Eman
Published: February 2023

Machine translation received intensive research in different language pairs; yet, the quality of specialized translation; e.g., legal translation, from Arabic into English received little attention. The present study investigates the quality of machine translation of legal texts from Arabic into English. The paper aims at examining the errors found in the machine translation of legal texts from Arabic into English. It also studies the legal discourse features in machine-translation output. The research questions tackle the accuracy of machine translation of legal discourse and error categories and frequencies in machine translation. The researcher evaluated several factors to assess the quality of Google Translate; i.e., lexical, syntactic, and register-related errors. The study data consists of five legislative texts. The researcher conducted a manual error assessment and classification. To ensure the reliability of the error analysis, an existing human translation of the documents was used as a reference to ensure the reliability of the MT quality assessment and post-editing process. Later, the errors were classified, and their percentages and frequencies were calculated. A few examples of errors in each category were discussed and analysed. The highest error category was lexical errors scoring 43.4%. The last detected error category was deletion with a percentage of 1.7%. Syntactic errors constituted one-fourth of the errors found in the data. Legal register-related errors scored 30.2%. The subcategories of legal register-related errors varied in their occurrence; e.g., one-third of the errors related to legal discourse were legal terms. The study concluded that machine translation; though it provided a comprehensible output, could not translate legal structures and terminology perfectly.
Heteroglossia in Choukri’s Al-Khubz al- Hafi: A Reflection on Moroccan Plurilingualism
Authors: EL KHATIBI Mourad , EL KIRAT EL ALLAME Yamina
Published: February 2023

Language is not only a means of communication but also a symbol of identity.The languages people master and use determine not only their ethnic group, geographical region, and level of education but also their socioeconomic status and the identity that they claim.Like in the plurilingual[i] Society many languages are in contact in Morocco, and people have to code-switch and, or code-mix vernacular, official, and foreign languages.This article aims to investigate the use of languages, namely Darija, Amazigh[ii], Spanish and Modern Standard Arabic in Mohamed Choukri’s (1982) autobiography, Al-Khubz al-Ḥāfī within Bakhtin’s (1981) model, known as Heteroglossia, which views language as a sociocultural phenomenon.The paper also uses Habemas’ (1991) concept of “public space” to determine the domains of the use of languages.The significance of this study lies in its exploration of language use through the analysis of a literary text.Many sciences fields like linguistics, literature, sociolinguistics , and sociology are in contact in this study.The main question of this study is: How is pluriligualism represented in Choukri’s Al-Khubz al-Ḥāfī?.The linguistic analysis of the novel reveals the plurilingual profile of the author and Morocco and the ways all the existing languages interact.

Hypertension is still the leading cause of death in the elderly. Physiological and degenerative processes in the elderly also cause changes in cholesterol levels. It is known that hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for hypertension. If hypertension and hypercholesterolemia occur in the elderly, it is hazardous for the health of the elderly. Total cholesterol is an important parameter to assess the risk of hypertension. The study aimed to obtain an overview of the total cholesterol profile and the degree of hypertension in elderly hypertension. The research design was a cross-sectional method. Nonprobability sampling with accidental sampling was chosen as a sample selection technique. The sample size was 103. The quantitative descriptive data analysis was presented in a frequency distribution. The results of the study provide an overview of the distribution of elderly hypertension, referring to ACC/AHA classification at hypertension grade I (39.8%), hypertension grade II (35%), and hypertension grade III (25.2%). Meanwhile, the total cholesterol profile was in the desirable range (44.7%), borderline high (26.2%), and high (29.1%). The conclusion that the highest cholesterol levels are in the normal range with the highest degree of hypertension in category I. Future research should examine the factors that cause hypertension in the elderly with normal cholesterol levels.

Published: February 2023

Parallel to the operational concrete development stage, school-age children start to develop their skills in logical thinking and problem-solving. They need adequate concentration to grow at the stage successfully. One of the determining factors in achieving such concentration is the quality of sleep. The study aims to analyze the relationship between sleep quality and learning concentration among school-age children. This research is a cross-sectional descriptive quantitative study. The samples were taken by proportional stratified random sampling from 53 respondents of 111 populations. Data were collected using PSQI and concentration questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square. The results indicated that 47 children (88.7 %) had a low sleep quality and 33 children (62.3 %) on a middle range of learning concentration. The statistical analysis showed 58.5 % of children with low sleep quality had a middle learning concentration level and 30.2 % had a low concentration level with a p-value (0.000) < value α (0.05). It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the quality of sleep and the level of learning concentration for school-age children at SD IT Al-Maqom Cimahi. Nurses as healthcare professionals can cooperate with the school to provide health education for the students and their parents regarding decent sleep quality and its effect on their growth and development, especially in studying. The parents can modify their children’s daily activities, especially before bedtime. One of them is rules about using gadgets and other electronic media in their bedrooms.

Object and purpose of research. This paper is intended to develop a mathematical model of cavitation void fragmentation into separate collapsing bubbles as an acoustic source for further implementation in Logos software package. The study was performed on propeller models in cavitating environment. Subject matter and methods. Volume and quantity of bubbles appearing after fragmentation of a cavitation void on propellers, as well as amplitude and frequency properties of a single bubble collapse are studied as per CFD methods. Viscous flow properties are found from finite-volume (FVM) solution to unsteady Reynolds equations (RANS) closed by a biparametric semi-empirical turbulence model. The coefficients in the mathematical model of acoustic source thus obtained were calibrated through validation that included noise measurements at KSRC Cavitation Tunnel. Main results. This work included numerical simulation of collapse dynamics for a single cavitation bubble at different initial conditions, with approximation of the pressure impact created by bubble collapse in the infinite fluid and near a solid wall. The study estimated volume and quantity of the bubbles created by the fragmentation of cavitation void on propellers (3 propellers of different shape operating at different advance ratios and cavitation numbers). The mathematical model representing above-mentioned process could be further implemented in Logos software as a finite-volume algorithm with k-ω SST turbulence model. The study also created a validation base for further testing and calibration of the mathematical model thus developed. Conclusion. The study was performed as part of project Mathematical simulation on exa- and zetaflops class supercomputers launched by National Centre for Physics and Mathematics (Russia). The analysis of obtained results has shown that the mathematical model suggested in this paper does have practical potential, but it needs additional empirical data for greater flexibility and more accurate estimates. Without this model, these practical tasks still could be handled but at a cost of considerable and, most importantly, unnecessary increase in required hardware resources.

Object and purpose of research. This paper discusses towing test data extrapolation for submarines (in submerged conditions) as per two different procedures to compare the results. Subject matter and methods. The study relied on model test data for submarines and submersibles available with Krylov State Research Centre Deepwater Test Tank and performed as per Procedure [1], and on towing test data extrapolation results obtained as per References [2, 4]. Test results are extrapolated to the full-scale as per two procedures, with subsequent comparison of towing resistance values for model hull. Main results. The paper demonstrates that the deviation between the two procedures is insignificant and commensurable with acceptable measurement error, with discussion on possible reasons for this deviation. Conclusion. Despite minor deviations in towing test procedures described in [1, 4], full-scale extrapolations obtained as per References [2, 4] coincide, which indirectly confirms reliability of the results and correctness of the assumptions.

The Societal and Scientific Importance of Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity in Machine Learning for Chemistry
Authors: Probst Daniel
Published: February 2023

While the introduction of practical deep learning has driven progress across scientific fields, recent research highlighted that the requirement of deep learning for ever-increasing computational resources and data has potential negative impacts on the scientific community and society as a whole. An ever-growing need for more computational resources may exacerbate the concentration of funding, the exclusiveness of research, and thus the inequality between countries, sectors, and institutions. Here, I introduce recent concerns and considerations of the machine learning research community that could affect chemistry and present potential solutions, including more detailed assessments of model performance, increased adherence to open science and open data practices, an increase in multinational and multi-institutional collaboration, and a focus on thematic and cultural diversity.
How to Accelerate R&D and Optimize Experiment Planning with Machine Learning and Data Science
Authors: Pacheco Gutierrez Daniel , Folkmann Linnea M. , Tribukait Hermann , Roch Loïc M.
Published: February 2023

Accelerating R&D is essential to address some of the challenges humanity is currently facing, such as achieving the global sustainability goals. Today’s Edisonian approach of trial-and-error still prevalent in R&D labs takes up to two decades of fundamental and applied research for new materials to reach the market. Turning around this situation calls for strategies to upgrade R&D and expedite innovation. By conducting smart experiment planning that is data-driven and guided by AI/ML, researchers can more efficiently search through the complex - often constrained - space of possible experiments and find or hit the global optima much faster than with the current approaches. Moreover, with digitized data management, researchers will be able to maximize the utility of their data in the short and long terms with the aid of statistics, ML and visualization tools. In what follows, we describe a framework and lay out the key technologies to accelerate R&D and optimize experiment planning

One hundred and seventy-one cases of colonized newborns, of whom 21 were confirmed as infected (clinical signs associated with positive C-reactive protein and/or positive blood culture), were recorded. The infection caused the death of 3 infants among the 21 infected ones. The outbreak was stopped by improving the basic hygiene measures such as the hands washing, the use of disposable gloves and gowns and by removing a potential environmental contamination source: the water bottle warmer.
Second-order moment of kinetic theory of granular flow for multi-type particles
Authors: Sun Dan
Published: February 2023

In this study, a numerical method, second-order moment of kinetic theory of granular flow for multitype particles (SOM-KTGF-MP) is proposed. The SOM-KTGF is used for particle flow with higher concentration and high inertia where inter-particle collisions exist; however, the particle fluctuation is far from equilibrium to satisfy the Boussinesq approximation. The model, SOM-KTGF-MP, is derived here as an extension of SOM-KTGF for mono-sized particles to be applied to multi-type particles with different sizes, densities, and other properties. In SOM-KTGF-MP, the conservation equations of the volume fraction, velocity, and second-order moment of the fluctuating velocity of particles are solved for each particle species in the multitype mixture. A binary mixture of particles in a simple shear flow was predicted using the SOM-KTGF-MT method. This result is in good agreement with the discrete molecular dynamics method. The SOM-KTGF-MT method increased the fidelity of the prediction of the binary mixture flow of particles based on the kinetic theory.

"Cutting edge" is a term commonly used to describe the most advanced and forward-thinking companies in the IT industry. The term "cutting-edge technology" is used to describe the most advanced and up-to-date technological features, as opposed to "bleeding-edge technology," which is so novel that it presents risks to consumers. While the term "technology" is most often associated with computer and electronic devices, it can refer to advancements in virtually any field. The author of this paper has properly cited the most up-to-date cutting-edge research.
Modern features of the evolution of IgA-vasculitis in children according to catamestic study
Authors: Kvacheniuk Olena , Okhotnikova Olena
Published: February 2023

Abstract. There is a tendency to an increase in the frequency of hospitalization of children with mixed forms of IgA-vasculitis with pronounced abdominal syndrome and involvement in the pathological process of the kidneys, which is possibly associated with an increase in the level of comorbid pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, and with a premorbid state of the mucosa membranes of the digestive system. There is a need to study the course and evolution of IgA vasculitis in children with gastrointestinal manifestations in order to improve the diagnostic search, accurate prognosis and create a standardized treatment protocol for IgA vasculitis in children.

Objective. To investigate the clinical and diagnostic manifestations and evolution of IgA vasculitis in children with lesions of the gastrointestinal tract.

Materials and method. The surveys of patients and their parents and retrospective analysis of 58 maps of inpatients with IgA vasculitis and digestive lesions aged 0 to 18 years, who were hospitalized in the somatic departments of the National Children's Specialized Hospital " OKHMATDYT" Kyiv, Ukraine in the period from 2008 to 2018.

Results. The mean age of children with IgA vasculitis was 8,03 years, and the ratio of boys to girls was 1,32: 1. Skin syndrome occurred in 58/58 patients (100%), and joint symptoms were observed in 34/58 (58,62%) patients. There were 29/58 patients (50,0%) with kidney disease. The incidence of renal pathology was higher in children with severe symptoms of the digestive system and in persons older than 7 years. 23/29 (79,31%) patients had manifestations of kidney damage in the first month after the onset of IgA vasculitis with gastrointestinal symptoms.

Conclusions. In the study among hospitalized children, clinical and laboratory features and the evolution of IgA vasculitis in children with gastrointestinal lesions were similar to the literature. In 79,31% of patients, the onset of renal syndrome occurred in the first month after the onset of IgA vasculitis. In 20,69% of patients there was an evolution of kidney damage into chronic kidney disease. Therefore, careful monitoring of renal impairment should be performed to assess the progression of chronic kidney disease in patients who develop IgA vasculitis over 7 years of age and in those children who have severe symptoms of gastrointestinal damage.
Endothelial function and adaptive capabilities of adolescent adolescents with arterial hypertension
Authors: Shtrakh Kateryna , Rak Larysa , Kashina-Yarmak Victoria
Published: February 2023

Summary. The article is devoted to the study of the state of vascular reactivity, morphofunctional parameters of the heart and adaptive capabilities in adolescents with arterial hypertension. The goal is to study the the state of endothelium-dependent vasodilation and determine the adaptive capabilities of boys with arterial hypertension without metabolic risk factors, depending on the presence of endothelial dysfunction.

The study included 22 boys with arterial hypertension aged 13-17 years, 10 of them had endothelial dysfunction on a sample with reactive hyperemia. The study included clinical examination, anthropometry, ECG, EchoCG, functional tests (Ruffier, klinoorthotest). Serum total cholesterol levels were also assessed. Statistical analysis was performed using the program s / n SPSS 17 4a 180844250981.

Results. It was found that 58.4% of boys with arterial hypertension had endothelial dysfunction without metabolic risk, which in most cases combined with reduced exercise tolerance and insufficient physical activity. In such adolescents, in comparison with peers with hypertension and normal endothelial function, higher growth, a high frequency of dolichomelia, an increase in the ejection fraction and pressure in the left atrium are noted, indicating an increase in the pumping function of the left ventricle. The frequency of registration of endothelial dysfunction was not substantially correlated with the type of vegetative support for activities in children with arterial hypertension. However, in 60% it was registered against insufficient sympathoadrenal supply - asympathicotonic and hyperdiastolic variants of the klinoorthotest.

The presence of endothelial dysfunction is recorded in more than half of adolescents with arterial hypertension. Higher ejection fraction and pressure in the left atrium during systole, which are determined in patients with arterial hypertension and insufficient vasodilation with a decrease in heart rate reflect adaptive changes in the functioning of the myocardium with a deterioration in endothelial function.

Authors: Ghouth Abdulla Bin , Mahmoud Nuha
Published: February 2023

Background: The health authorities in Hadhramaut Valley and Desert responded to the COVID-19 pandemic differently from other areas in Yemen. Aims: To document the response of the local authority and Ministry of Health in Hadhramaut to COVID-19. Methods: The local authority in Syoun (Hadhramaut Valley) convened a meeting of all key players from the health and related sectors in February 2020 where a decision was made to establish a committee to evaluate the health situation and assess the needs. Based on the results of these assessments, a plan was designed to respond to the pandemic. We reviewed available documents on the COVID-19 response in Hadhramaut, interviewed the main stakeholders, and conducted site visits to the COVID-19 response centres. Results: There was evidence of the crucial role played by the local authority in response to COVID-19. They established 3 well-equipped isolation centres with a total of 142 beds, a stock of 2250 oxygen cylinders, 2 new polymerase chain reaction units, a simplified referral system, and an effective patient follow-up and oxygen home therapy strategy. Conclusion: Political commitment at the local level is crucial to bridge the gap between policy and implementation, especially during infectious disease outbreaks. It is important to train public health leaders on how to effectively assess local health needs and develop effective and efficient response strategy. Lessons from this study in Hadhramaut provide evidence on how local authorities can coordinate response to emerging health needs and update their strategies.

Increased geopolitical tensions and economic sanctions imposed by the U.S., the European Union, and other countries against Russian sectors of the economy have caused a slowdown of economic growth in Russia and significantly restricted access to international capital markets, creating many problems for coal enterprises due to the rapid growth of competition. Russian and Indonesian coal companies need to adopt coping strategies and implement effective management practices to successfully counter the various global challenges facing the coal sector. The article aims to develop coal enterprise competitiveness management in the context of global challenges in 2022, as exemplified by Russia and Indonesia, considering the main role of these two countries in global coal exports. The management process was empirically assessed, and a comprehensive qualitative focus group session was conducted to achieve this goal. Fifty-five top managers of Russian and Indonesian coal companies participated in the focus group session to collect data for identifying all the factors and indicators to be accounted for in a holistic assessment of the companies’ competitiveness. Suggestions were worked out for the development of coal companies in Russia and Indonesia, regarding current changes, to increase their competitiveness. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-02-021 Full Text: PDF

False Hadith, Identity, and Contestation of Thought: The Analysis of Hadith on the Division of Muhammad's Ummah in the Historical Dimension
Authors: Miski Miski
Published: February 2023

This study positioning false hadiths (mawdhû‘) as historical documents and historical data, not just past information, which is considered wrong and must be avoided. The hadith used as the object of study was the Prophet’s words, “All will go to heaven except the al-Zanâdiqa group.” The main issue that we want to explore is what matters behind the hadith’s emergence. Using a historical approach, normative analysis, and historical, this study shows: first, that the hadith is considered a false hadith, both from its sanad and matan aspects. However, the assessment of these two aspects does not co-occur. Second, the diction of “al-Zanâdiqa,” which is interpreted with the al-Qadariyyah sect, appeared in the verbal form before the 4th century AH/10 AD as a form of resistance to the al-Qadariyyah sect. However, since the 4th century AH/10th AD, the hadith has entered into various hadith literature as a form of resistance to the hadith’s existence as a false hadith. Third, in the 6th century AH/12th AD, this hadith became a new discourse, namely as an authentic hadith but without the addition of the diction of “al-Qadariyyah.” In the 10th century AH/16th AD or the 12th century AH/18th AD, and in the 14th century AH/20th AD, it also appeared to the public. This finding also shows that hadith was one of the authoritative tools to corner groups considered the opposite of the mainstream, causing contestation and discourse shift. Kajian ini dimaksudkan untuk memosisikan hadis palsu sebagai dokumen dan data sejarah, tidak sekedar informasi masa lalu yang pasti salah. Hadis yang dijadikan objek kajian adalah hadis yang berbunyi “Semua akan masuk surga kecuali golongan al-Zanâdiqa.” Persoalan utama yang ingin dieksplorasi adalah peristiwa apa yang berada di balik kemunculan hadis tersebut. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah; analisis normatif dan historis, kajian ini menunjukkan: pertama, hadis tersebut dinilai sebagai hadis palsu, baik dari aspek sanad maupun matannya. Meskipun, penilaian terhadap dua aspek ini tidak terjadi secara simultan. Kedua, diksi “al-Zanâdiqa” yang ditafsirkan dengan golongan al-Qadariyyah, muncul dalam bentuk verbal sebelum abad ke 4 H/10 M sebagai bentuk resistansi terhadap golongan al-Qadariyyah. Namun, sejak abad ke 4 H/10 M, hadis tersebut sudah masuk ke dalam berbagai literatur hadis sebagai bentuk resistansi terhadap keberadaan hadis itu sebagai hadis palsu. Ketiga, pada abad ke-6 H/12 M, hadis ini menjadi diskursus baru yakni sebagai hadis sahih namun tanpa tambahan diksi “al-Qadariyyah.” Pada abad ke 10 H/16 M atau abad ke 12 H/18 M juga muncul ke khalayak. Demikian pula pada abad 14 H/20 M kembali muncul–di samping diskursus yang memang sudah eksis sebelumnya. Temuan ini juga menunjukkan, di masa itu, hadis menjadi salah satu alat yang otoritatif untuk menyudutkan golongan yang dinilai berseberangan dengan golongan arus utama; melahirkan kontestasi dan pergeseran diskursus.
