Exploring the Capabilities of ChatGPT in Ancient Chinese Translation and Person Name Recognition
Authors: Si Shijing , Zhou Siqing , Zhang Yugui 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study examines the potential of ChatGPT, notable for its skill in standard modern languages, in the context of ancient Chinese. We focus on two fundamental tasks: translating ancient Chinese into modern Chinese and identifying ancient Chinese names. We conduct experiments on Shi Shuo Xin Yu, which is a collection of anecdotes, short conversations, and pithy observations on personalities who lived in China between about 150 and 420 A.D. We also include other methods, like Baidu Yiyan (ERNIE-Bot) for ancient-to-modern translation, and SIKU-RoBERTa for ancient Chinese name recognition. The results reveal that ChatGPT’s performance in ancient Chinese remains in need of enhancement, but it excels in the task of ancient-to-modern translation with the provision of a few context sentences. For the ancient Chinese name recognition, ChatGPT can outperform SIKU-RoBERTa model in terms of precision, but suffers from low recall.
Relational description as pivotal to dialogical translation
Authors: Cipriani Gerald 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Depending on whether translation leans toward objective rendering or subjective interpretation it will have different truth-functions. This essay reflects on the issues of truth-function at stake on both sides of the “hosting” language (translation) when seeking to understand “otherness” (original language). The essay will draw from particular examples of translation of Chinese thought such as the literal renderings of the Classics in Western languages, Li Zehou’s concept of “subjectality” (zhutixing 主體性) and François Jullien’s Western-inverted “deconstruction”. The point here is not to establish validity in translation, but to describe what are the cognitive and ethical implications when understanding and performing translation – a relational description thus presented as precondition for the possibility of translation-as-dialogue.

Методами численного решения полной системы уравнений Навье - Стокса для сжимаемой жидкости в дозвуковом приближении исследован перенос ветром облака взвешенной пыли в атмосферном пограничном слое территории, прилегающей к горнорудному карьеру. Источник пыли - массовый взрыв с суммарной массой заряда ~ 100 т тротила, расположенный на уступе борта карьера на глубине 250 м. В расчетах учитывается часть пыли источника, поднявшаяся в результате взрыва над дневной поверхностью карьера. Проведены оценки размеров области, где концентрация взвешенной пыли над поверхностью превышает предельно допустимые значения. Исследована зависимость этих размеров от угла α между направлением ветра и бортом карьера. Показано, что максимальное расстояние от борта карьера, на котором концентрация пыли превышает предельно допустимые значения, составляет 3 км. Длительность воздействия в фиксированных точках над поверхностью не зависит от угла α и растет от нескольких минут на расстоянии 500 м от центра взрыва до десятка минут на расстоянии 3 км.
Wind transport of an air-borne dust cloud in the atmospheric boundary layer in the neighborhood area of a surface mine is analyzed by numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in their full form for a compressible liquid and in a subsonic flow approximation. The dust source is a large-scale blast at a total mass of ~ 100 g of TNT at a depth of 250 m in the pitwall rock mass. The calculations take into account a portion of dust raised above ground surface by blasting. The size of the surface areas of air-borne dust concentrations above maximal allowable values is estimated. The relationship of this size and the wind direction-pitwall angle α is analyzed. The maximal distance between the pitwall and the area of dust concentration above MAV is 3 km. The exposure duration at the fixed point on ground surface is independent of the angle α and ranges from a few minutes at a distance of 500 m from the blast center to a dozen minutes at a distance of 3 km.

Представлены результаты исследований по разработке алгоритма выделения объектов размещения горнопромышленных отходов. В качестве исходных данных рассмотрены снимки территорий юга Дальнего Востока со спутников Sentinel 2, Landsat 5 - 8. На базе облачной платформы Earth Engine рассчитано значение вегетационного индекса для каждого пикселя с помощью функции нормализованной разности и создана исследуемая область посредством стандартного инструмента. Для преобразования пикселей в площадь использован метод reduce. Разработанный метод актуален для мониторинга различных объектов (хвостохранилищ, карьеров, отвалов и т. д.), находящихся в разных стадиях развития.
The article presents an analysis procedure for remote sensing imagery for monitoring ground surface objects. The studies on development of an algorithm for identifying mining waste disposal facilities on ground surface are described. The source data were Sentinel-2 and Landsat 5-8 images of the southern area in the Russian Far East. Using Earth Engine platform, the vegetation index is calculated for each pixel using the function of normal distance, and the test area is generated using a standard tool. Pixels were converted to square units using the reduce() method. The proposed procedure is of current interest in monitoring various objects (tailings ponds, surface mines, waste dumps, etc.) at different stages of development.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Approximately 1.2 million autistic youth will reach the legal age of adulthood over the next decade. Given dynamic changes in the socioecological context of the transition to adulthood, we produced an updated transitions research agenda reflecting the perspectives of autistic young adults, care partners (parents), and professionals who use autism research.

METHODS
We conducted 9 focus groups: 4 young adult, 4 care partner, and 1 professional, with 59 total participants. Young adults were grouped by self-reported identity: (1) racial and ethnic minority, (2) lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and other identities, and (3) nonspeaking, in addition to a general group. We selected care partners who supported youth with varying intensity of support needs. We used rapid qualitative inquiry methods to extract key points from answers to semistructured interview questions.

RESULTS
Delays in diagnosis and transition processes, and placement on wait lists resulted in significant obstacles to successful transitions. Parents assumed a dominant role by coordinating services, navigating systems and identifying opportunities for community participation, and providing direct supports. There was an overarching need for inclusion of autistic people in transitions research and consideration of cultural differences in priorities and values. Participants prioritized investigation of variation in transitions among autistic youth with intersecting identities, navigation support (eg, peer mentors), efficacy of services and supports (eg, transition and employment services), differences in available services by location, and problems within specific benefits programs.

CONCLUSIONS
Research should focus on understanding population-level factors of system performance on outcomes and support needs, service delivery among marginalized groups, and transformation of complex service ecosystems.

AbstractBackgroundCompulsive buying-shopping is recognised as a significant mental health concern, yet its aetiology is largely understudied. A known risk factor for compulsive buying-shopping is adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs are also associated with greater problems regulating emotions, as well as depression and anxiety. These factors are also known to be associated with compulsive buying-shopping problems. In this study, we aimed to test a serial mediation model in which ACEs were associated with compulsive buying-shopping problems via emotion dysregulation, and then emotional psychopathology (depression, anxiety).MethodsWe tested this model cross-sectionally in two large samples (N = 1,868 & 4,742) to evaluate the robustness of the model. Both samples completed self-report measures of ACEs, emotional dysregulation, compulsive buying, depression, and anxiety symptoms.ResultsWe found support for indirect effects, and all results were consistent for both samples. ACEs predicted greater emotion dysregulation, which then predicted greater depression and anxiety. In turn, anxiety (but not depression) predicted compulsive buying symptoms.Discussion and conclusionsEmotion dysregulation and anxiety consistently mediated the relationship between ACEs and compulsive buying symptoms. Both emotion dysregulation and anxiety represent malleable targets in clinical interventions for compulsive buying-shopping problems. Our findings also suggest that anxiety may be a stronger predictor of compulsive buying compared to depression, which may be an important avenue for future researchers to investigate.

AbstractBackground and AimsElectronic gaming machines (EGMs) are a significant source of gambling spend due to their widespread use. Skill-based gambling machines (SGMs) represent an innovative adaptation, merging EGMs' chance-based rewards with video game-like skills. This study aimed to explore the appeal and behavioural consequences of playing SGMs in comparison to traditional reel-based EGMs, particularly focusing on illusions of control, betting behaviour, and the subjective experience of gamblers.MethodsParticipants (N = 1,260) were recruited online and engaged in an online task simulating either an SGM or a reel-based EGM, with outcomes represented to influence their survey compensation. The study examined the effect of SGMs relative to EGMs on bet size, persistence, enjoyment, illusions of control, game immersion, and the influence of demographic and gambling problem severity.ResultsSGMs particularly appealed to younger adults, regular EGM players, and people with more gambling problems. Despite identical payout structures, people assigned to play SGM showed greater illusions of control, believing in the influence of skill on game outcomes and that practice could improve results. However, there was no significant difference in overall betting intensity between SGM and EGM players, although specific demographic groups showed faster betting speeds in SGMs.Discussion and ConclusionsSGMs, despite not inherently encouraging higher betting intensity, attract vulnerable groups and create illusions of control, posing new regulatory challenges. The visual and interactive features of SGMs, while appealing, might contribute to these perceptions, indicating a need for careful regulation and further research on their long-term impacts on gambling behaviour and harm.

Aim. To evaluate the association of the triglyceride-glucose index (TGI) with micro- and macrovascular changes in patients with moderate, high and very high cardiovascular risk (CVR).Material and methods. The study included 134 men and 129 women aged 40 to 65 years with a SCORE2 ten-year risk of adverse cardiovascular events of 2,5% or more. Based on a detailed survey, a comprehensive physical and paraclinical examination, the relationship between TGI and CVR factors was assessed using Pearson correlation analysis, followed by a linear correlation strength assessment using the Chaddock scale. Modeling of the TGI association with macro- and microvascular damage in patients with moderate CVD was performed using multivariate logistic regression.Results. According to regression analysis, increased TGI was associated with an increased risk of both macrovascular and microvascular changes. Similar results were obtained using multivariate logistic regression with model adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, hypertension, family history of premature cardiovascular disease, lipid-lowering therapy, and glucose-lowering therapy. An increased level of TGI was associated with an increase in the odds ratio (OR) of carotid atherosclerosis (OR 1,73, 95% confidence interval 1,27-2,36, P for trend <0,001), an increase in the urine albumin-creatinine ratio (OR 1,61, 95% CI 1,22-2,13, P for trend <0,001) and a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (OR 1,67, 95% CI 1,10-1,50, P for trend =0,02).Conclusion. TGI is an important and accessible additional risk factor for both micro- and macrovascular damage in everyday clinical practice, regardless of whether the patient has diabetes. For personalized CVR stratification and determination of further management tactics for patients with moderate, high and very high CR, the maximum available factors should be assessed, each of which can influence the disease course, while the summation of the main and additional factors significantly worsens the prognosis.

Aim. To assess plaque burden according to peripheral artery ultrasound examination in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with low and moderate disease activity in comparison with the coronary artery condition.Material and methods. The study included 64 patients, of which 43 patients with an established diagnosis of RA and 21 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) without RA (comparison group). All patients underwent a clinical and paraclinical examination to verify myocardial ischemia and/or CAD according to the 2020 national guidelines, as well as a carotid and femoral artery ultrasound (the latter, only for patients with RA) with determination of plaque burden.Results. In patients with RA in combination with CAD, plaque burden is higher than in patients with RA without coronary artery disease regarding the carotid plaque number 4,0 [4,0; 5,0]/2,0 [1,0; 3,5], proportion of maximum stenosis 35,0 [35,0; 45,0]/30,0 [25,0; 35,0] and the proportion of total stenosis 120,0 [110,0; 152,5]/85,0 [40,0; 110,0]. Three or more carotid plaques determine significant coronary atherosclerosis in RA. In RA patients with CAD, the combination of caro­tid and femoral plaques is associated with significant coronary atherosclerosis in 75% of cases. In a comparative analysis of patients with RA CAD+/RA CAD-, no significant differences were found in the main cardiovascular risk factors, lipid, and inflammatory parameters. When comparing the plaque burden indicators, the severity of coronary atherosclerosis was not revealed between RA patients with CAD+ and the comparison group.Conclusion. Determining the peripheral plaque burden parameters increases the clinical significance of ultrasound as a stage of non-invasive CAD diagnosis in RA.

Aim. To determine the potential of diagnostic electron microscopy of intraplaque processes (severity of lipid damage, fibrous cap thickness and condition, severity of pathological neovascularization, presence, nature and severity of calcification, ratio and distribution of various cell populations).Material and methods. The study objects were plaques removed during endar­terectomy from the human carotid artery and segments of the human internal mammary artery removed during coronary bypass surgery. Whole specimens were subjected to chemical fixation, staining with heavy metal salts, embedding in epoxy resin followed by layer-by-layer grinding, polishing, contrasting, visualization using back-scattered electron scanning electron microscopy and three-dimensional reconstruction with color mapping (modified EM-BSEM).Results. The use of a modified EM-BSEM made it possible to: 1) visualize the fibrous cap thickness and assess the extracellular matrix; 2) analyze the neointimal lipid distribution; 3) perform three-dimensional reconstruction and analyze the microenvironment of calcifications of various sizes; 4) visualize endothelial cells, defects in interendothelial contacts and the basement membrane of neointimal capillaries with their subsequent three-dimensional reconstruction; 5) perform an analysis of age-dependent defects in the basement membrane and internal elastic membrane of the internal mammary artery. The resolution of the obtained images was significantly superior to intravascular imaging methods (intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography), allowing additional assessment of capillary fluidity, the degree of calcification encapsulation and the condition of elastic fibers. Three-dimensional reconstruction of calcifications, neointimal capillaries and elastic fibers made it possible to assess their spatial density and heterogeneity. Simultaneously with the identification and assessment of these histological structures, objective phenotyping of cell populations was performed, which made it possible to isolate macrophages and foam cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts and endothelial cells in atherosclerotic plaques and automatically identify them through color mapping determined by their electronic contrast distribution signatures.Conclusion. The modified EM-BSEM method allows for universal electron microscopic diagnosis of atherosclerotic and elastolytic lesions of large arteries with high information content about vascular remodeling and high accuracy. Electronic contrast distribution signatures unique for each cell population indicate the possibility of their automated phenotyping using specialized neural network algorithms.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is involved in lipid metabolism, has local and systemic effects in immunoregulation and atherogenesis in hypertensive patients.Aim. To personalize cardiovascular risk (CVR) stratification taking into account the diagnostic value of PCSK9 and inflammatory markers in men with hypertension and carotid atherosclerosis.Material and methods. The study included 162 males with stage I-III hypertension of various CVR. All patients underwent collection of complaints and medical history, physical examination with anthropometry. The following laboratory test were performed: complete blood count with white blood cell differential and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, assessment of fibrinogen, C-reactive protein (CRP), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, serum creatinine level. Glomerular filtration rate and microalbuminuria were also evaluated. Serum PCSK9, interleukins-8, 10 (IL-8, 10) were determined by enzyme immunoassay. In addition, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, extracranial artery ultrasound with determination of intima-media thickness and carotid stenosis severity were performed. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to PCSK9 level.Results. Analysis of conventional cardiovascular factors and cytokine status (IL-8 and IL-10) in patients showed an inverse relationship between age and IL-8 (r=-0,230; p=0,036), IL-8/IL-10 (r=-0,309; p=0,005); heredity and IL-8/IL-10 (r=-0,423; p=0,001). There were following relationships between CVR factors and PCSK9: direct relationship between men's age (r=0,220, p=0,032), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (r=0,230, p=0,033; r=0,260, p=0,015) and PCSK9; inverse relationship between PCSK9 and heredity (r=-0,286, p=0,011). C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were associated with IL-10 levels, which are associated with anti-inflammatory activity (r=0,78; p=0,02; r=0,78; p=0,02, respectively). The IL-8/IL-10 cytokine imbalance was most pronounced in patients with a night-peaker 24-hour systolic blood pressure profile (p=0,02). Patients with intima-media thickening and plaques had a highest level of PCSK9 (p=0,006). IL-8 levels were significantly higher with unchanged intima-media thickness (p=0,01).Conclusion. In patients with high levels of PCSK9, there is a close relationship between risk factors for hypertension and cytokine imbalance. The severity of extra­cranial artery atherosclerosis significantly depends on the increase in the levels of PCSK9 (p=0,006) and inflammatory markers (IL-10) (p=0,044).
