description: AI-generated text detection plays an increasingly important role in various fields. In this study, we developed an efficient AI-generated text detection model based on the BERT algorithm, which provides new ideas and methods for solving related problems. In the data preprocessing stage, a series of steps were taken to process the text, including operations such as converting to lowercase, word splitting, removing stop words, stemming extraction, removing digits, and eliminating redundant spaces, to ensure data quality and accuracy. By dividing the dataset into a training set and a test set in the ratio of 60% and 40%, and observing the changes in the accuracy and loss values during the training process, we found that the model performed well during the training process. The accuracy increases steadily from the initial 94.78% to 99.72%, while the loss value decreases from 0.261 to 0.021 and converges gradually, which indicates that the BERT model is able to detect AI-generated text with high accuracy and the prediction results are gradually approaching the real classification results. Further analysis of the results of the training and test sets reveals that in terms of loss value, the average loss of the training set is 0.0565, while the average loss of the test set is 0.0917, showing a slightly higher loss value. As for the accuracy, the average accuracy of the training set reaches 98.1%, while the average accuracy of the test set is 97.71%, which is not much different from each other, indicating that the model has good generalisation ability. In conclusion, the AI-generated text detection model based on the BERT algorithm proposed in this study shows high accuracy and stability in experiments, providing an effective solution for related fields.
Role of the Central Bank in implementation of Value-Based Islamic Banking and Reporting in Bahrain – Exploring the challenges

description: This paper aims to explore the role of the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) in the implementation of Value-Based Islamic Banking (VBIB) and Reporting in Bahrain and explore the related challenges and provides suggestions that how the central bank can encourage the Islamic banks to align their operations for making a positive impact in society. The study employs a qualitative approach to understand the role of CBB in such implementation in Bahrain. The findings reveal that based on Islamic principles and Maqasid al-Shari’ah, CBB is yet to develop a strategy paper and framework for the value-based Islamic banking and reporting for the Islamic banking practices towards the well-being of the society and social objectives. As there has been very little written on value-based Islamic banking (VBIB) and reporting in Bahrain. Therefore, the study also adds value to the current Islamic finance literature and identifies the need for reporting standards to improve the VBIB practice in Bahrain in the future.

description: We have introduced a novel multiplex recurrence network (MRN) approach by combining recurrence networks with the multiplex network approach in order to investigate multivariate time series. The potential use of this approach is demonstrated on coupled map lattices and a typical example from palaeobotany research. In both examples, topological changes in the multiplex recurrence networks allow for the detection of regime changes in their dynamics. The method goes beyond classical interpretation of pollen records by considering the vegetation as a whole and using the intrinsic similarity in the dynamics of the different regional vegetation elements. We find that the different vegetation types behave more similar when one environmental factor acts as the dominant driving force.

description: В отклике на перевод книги английского историка Джонатана Харриса «Византия: история исчезнувшей империи» дан краткий обзор ее содержания, выделена основная авторская идея и выводы. Показывается, как исследователь противопоставляет свою концепцию истории и судьбы Византийской империи точке зрения известных западных авторов (П. Жиль, Э. Гиббон и др.). Так, Эдвард Гиббон в «Истории упадка и разрушения Римской империи» писал о «малодушии и разладе» среди «греков», которые, вместо того чтобы собирать и вооружать легионы против своих многочисленных врагов, предавались церемониальным действиям, накоплению древностей, догматическим спорам и украшению церквей. В свою очередь, Харрис предлагает задаться вопросом, не почему пала величественная империя, а как ей удалось так долго просуществовать в столь неблагоприятных условиях и какой урок может отсюда вынести современный читатель. По мнению Харриса, этот урок состоит в том, что сила общества обуславливается его способностью к адаптации и интеграции посторонних даже в самых затруднительных обстоятельствах. К тезису автора можно добавить, что данное умение великая империя имела именно благодаря христианству.

description: An experiment on maturity was conducted to determine the optimum harvest interval for "Red Petiole" dasheen Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott var. esculenta in Dominica. Results showed that yield components (yield/hectare, corm weight, length and width) for 8 and 9 months harvest intervals were significantly higher (p< 0.001) than other harvest intervals of 5, 6, and 7 months and larger and more marketable corms were produced. No significant differences were observed for specific gravity (SG) and % dry matter (DM) between different harvest intervals. Responses to sensory evaluation showed a taste preference for 8 and 7 months harvest intervals (30 and 23%). Significant differences were observed for storage life (p<0.001) with the storage life for 8 month harvested corms being more extended (19 days). Based on the percentage of marketable corms, taste preference and storage life the results indicate, that the harvest intervals of 8 months is the appropriate time to harvest "Red Petiole" dasheen cultivar grown under such edaphic conditions.

description: We investigate the influence of the granularity of the lattice on the potential between monopoles. Using the flux definition of monopoles we introduce their centers of mass and are able to realize continuous shifts of the monopole positions. We find periodic deviations from the $1/r$-behavior of the monopole-antimonopole potential leading to local extrema. We suppose that these meta-stabilities may influence the order of the phase transition in compact QED.

Further, the automatic determination of all the matrix elements for two-loop corrections to massive Bhabha scattering in QED and the classification of their topologies and prototypes is done with DIANA. A generalization to the Standard Model is straightforward.

In particular, the spacetime is only assumed to have finite regularity, and it is allowed to have arbitrary boundary topology and geometry. For the main results, we derive limits at the conformal boundary of various geometric quantities, and we use these limits to construct partial Fefferman--Graham expansions from the boundary. The results of this article will be applied, in upcoming papers, toward proving symmetry extension and gravity--boundary correspondence theorems for vacuum asymptotically Anti-de Sitter spacetimes.

description: The management of land and water resources in the Caribbean is a major challenge due to their relatively fixed quantity and smallness, limited and decreasing quality, increasing demand, aversion to natural and human degradation and exogenous influences. For effective and efficient management of these resources, there is need for current and accurate information on the extent and status of these resources. The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing are seen as enabling technologies to combat the deficiency in the land and water resources information. The chapter presents examples on the use of GIS in land resources inventory and in evaluation of the carrying capacity of land resources. A Caribbean Land and Water Resources Information System (CLAWRIS) is being proposed that allows for the integration and dissemination of land and water resources data. The chapter underscores the need to develop a strategic development programme that would ensure effective and efficient development of CLAWRIS.

description: We present {\it ab initio} LDA+DMFT results for the many-particle density of states of $VO_{2}$ on the metallic side of the strongly first-order ($T$-driven) insulator-metal transition. In strong contrast to LDA predictions, there is {\it no} remnant of even correlated Fermi liquid behavior in the correlated metal. Excellent quantitative agreement with published photoemission and X-ray absorption experiments is found in the metallic phase. We argue that the absence of FL-quasiparticles provides a natural explanation for the bad-metallic transport for $T > 340 K$. Based on this agreement, we propose that the I-M transition in $VO_{2}$ is an orbital-selective Mott transition, and point out the relevance of orbital resolved one-electron and optical spectroscopy to resolve this outstanding issue.

description: By considering the one loop background field method for a quark-antiquark interaction, mediated by one (non perturbative) gluon exchange, sixth order quark effective interactions are derived and investigated in the limit of zero momentum transfer for large quark and/or gluon effective masses. They extend fourth order quark interactions worked out in previous works of the author. These interactions break $U_A(1)$ symmetry and may be either momentum independent or dependent. Part of these interactions vanish in the limit of massless quarks, and several other -- involving vector and/or axial quark currents -- survive. In the local limit of the resulting interactions, some phenomenological implications are presented, which correspond to corrections to the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. By means of the auxiliary field method, the local interactions give rise to three meson interactions whose values are compared to phenomenological values found in the literature. Contributions for meson-mixing parameters are calculated and compared to available results.

Islamic Governance, Maqashid Syariah, and Islamic Social Reporting: The Case of Islamic Banks in Indonesia
Creators: name: Salman, Kautsar Riza
Publisher: name: European Journal of Islamic Finance
Year: 2021

description: Many previous studies still examine the Islamic maqashid index as a performance measurement system. This collaborative research uses the maqashid sharia index in another perspective as a determinant that influences the level of Islamic social reporting. In addition, Islamic governance and Islamic social reporting were used in this study. The novelty offered from this study is on the research model which includes financial determinants and non-financial determinants of Islamic social reporting. Financial determinants in this study use profitability, company size, and age of the company. The non-financial determinants include Islamic governance and maqashid sharia index. This study aims to obtain empirical evidence about the influence of Islamic governance, maqashid sharia index, and financial performance on Islamic social reporting. The object of research is 11 Islamic banks in Indonesia in the period 2015-2018. The data analysis technique uses Partial Least Square with SmartPLS version 3 software by applying convergent validity, discriminant validity, reliability and hypothesis testing. The research findings show that the Maqashid Syariah index and financial performance influence the level of Islamic social reporting. The better the maqashid Syariah index the wider the level of social reporting. The stronger effect produced by financial performance on the level of social reporting. In contrast, Islamic governance does not affect the maqashid Sharia index and Islamic social reporting.

description: Glycine (Neonotonia wightii) is an adapted and productive forage legume for the seasonally dry areas of the eastern Caribbean islands, but lack of seed availability has limited its use. Replicated field studies from September 1999 to April 2001 assessed fertilizer application effects on forage dry matter (DM) and seed yield of glycine var. Cooper. In September 1999, fertilizer treatments (FT) included 0 fertilizer (control), 56 kg ha"1 Ρ applied as triple super-phosphate: TSP, 56 kg ha"1 potash; K20, 28 kg ha"1 elemental sulfur; S, and 28 kg ha"' micro-nutrient mixture (2.4% boron, 2.4% calcium, 14.4% iron oxide, 6% manganese, 0.06% molybdenum, and 5.76% zinc). In September 2000, FT included a control, 56 kg ha"1 TSP, 56 kg ha"1 K20, and 28 kg ha"1 S. There was no effect of FT on either forage (3,100 kg ha"1) or pod yield (350 kg ha"!)in 1999. In 2000, however, there was a trend (P=0.10) for higher forage yield for FT. Response to S (forage DM yield of 3,945 kg ha"1) was better than other FT. There were also differences (P<0.05) in pod yield. A two-fold increase in pod yield with 56 kg ha"1 K20 (979 kg ha"') compared to the control (445 kg ha"1) was observed. Excessive rainfall in latter part of 1999 may have affected pod yield. The positive pod yield response to K20 in March 2001, and yield responses to sulfur justifies further evaluations.

description: We present a physiologically plausible binaural mechanism for the perception of the pitch of complex sounds via ghost stochastic resonance. In this scheme, two neurons are driven by noise and different periodic signal each (with frequencies f1=kf0 and f2=(k+1)f0, where k>1), and their outputs (plus noise) are applied synaptically to a third neuron. Our numerical results, using the Morris-Lecar neuron model with chemical synapses explicity considered, show that intermediate noise levels enhance the response of the third neuron at frequencies close to f0, as in the cases previously described of ghost resonance. For the case of inharmonic combinations of inputs (both frequencies shifted by the same amount Df) noise is also seen to enhance the response of the third neuron at a frequency fr with also shift linearly with Df. In addition, we show that similar resonances can be observed as a function of the synaptic time constant. The suggested ghost-resonance-based stochastic mechanism can thus arise either at the peripheral level or at a higher level of neural processing in the perception of the pitch

description: In a previous work, we predicted that a thermally biased tunnel junction between two different superconductors can display a thermoelectric effect of nonlinear nature in the temperature gradient, under proper conditions. In this work we give a more extended discussion, and we focus on the two main features of the nonlinear contributions: i) the $linear-in-bias$ thermoelectricity, that can be associated to a spontaneous breaking of electron-hole symmetry, ii) the strong contribution at the matching peak singularity, which is typically associated to the maximum output power and efficiency. We discuss the nonlinear origin of the thermoelectricity and its relationship with the non-linear cooling mechanism in superconducting junctions previously discussed in the literature. Finally, we design and characterize the performance of the system as a heat engine, for a realistic design and experimental parameter values. We discuss possible non-idealities demonstrating that the system is amenable to current experimental realization.

description: We perform molecular dynamics simulations of repulsive athermal systems sheared at fixed normal load to study the effective temperature $T_L$ defined from time-dependent fluctuation-dissipation relations for density. We show that these systems possess two distinct regimes as a function of the ratio $T_S/V$ of the granular temperature to the potential energy per particle. At small $T_S/V$, these systems are pressure-controlled and $T_L$ is set by the normal load. In contrast, they behave as quasi-equilibrium systems with $T_L \approx T_S$ that increases with shear rate at large $T_S/V$. These results point out several problems with using $T_L$ in thermodynamic descriptions of slowly sheared athermal systems.

description: This study aims to see what are the biggest factors that make the people of the Bengkalis Regency choose Islamic banking to conduct financial transactions. The research was made using SEM AMOS quantitative data analysis to see in more detail and more detail what are the biggest factors in choosing Islamic banking in Bengkalis Regency. This research is also assisted by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) from Ajzen which explains the four main variables in analyzing the data, the four variables are (1) Attitudes, (2) Subjective Norms, (3) Perceived Behavioral Control, and (4) Interests. Each variable has several questionnaire questions, where all of them are 17 questions. From the results of the study using the SEM AMOS, it was found that all the questionnaire questions used had a value above 50 percent, of which the highest value was 90%, the people of Bengkalis Regency chose Islamic banking to transact because of suggestions from relatives. Hopefully, in the future, there will be other researchers who research Islamic banking in Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province.

This area is currently underexplored but is crucial for many practical applications such as autonomous exploration and decision making. Inspired by industrial demands, we first propose a novel translation-invariant visual memory for recalling and identifying interesting scenes, then design a three-stage architecture of long-term, short-term, and online learning. This enables our system to learn human-like experience, environmental knowledge, and online adaption, respectively. Our approach achieves much higher accuracy than the state-of-the-art algorithms on challenging robotic interestingness datasets.

description: In 1996, the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) was mandated by the Caribbean Heads of Government to develop an agricultural science and technology system for the region. Now termed PROCICARIBE, the Caribbean Agricultural Science and Technology Networking System provides the institutional framework within which Caribbean governments, R&D institutions, the private sector, NGOs, farmer groups and other stakeholders design and implement strategies for the integration and co-ordination of agricultural research and development efforts at both the national and regional levels with linkages to international organizations. The paper describes PROCICARIBE's Mission in light of the region's changing environment and provides details of the setting up of the system and its strategy for the next five years.
From movement to industry : organic agriculture in British Columbia
Creators: name: Cernigoj, Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis explores how organic standards have shaped the thought and practice of organic agriculture in British Columbia. While organic agriculture is often viewed as offering an alternative to the unsustainable trajectory of conventional agriculture, this thesis argues that commercialized organic agriculture as it currently exists offers only a minor potential for food system reform. Organic farming pioneers who originally came together at the grassroots in BC aspired to enact radical agrarian ideals that could counteract the social and environmental ills wrought by decades of adherence to conventional agriculture. By creating organic certification schemes that granted mainstream market access to organic producers, these farmers attempted to promote their ideals by transforming organic agriculture from a marginal fringe movement into a formal capitalist enterprise. While commercialization has reaped benefits, at the same time the standardization of organic agriculture that is prerequisite to sought-after market access has considerably undermined progress towards the ’alternative’ goals advocated by organic farmers I interviewed. Issues I explore throughout show that the operationalization of ’organic’ via codified certification standards has given way over time to a gradual erosion of organic principles. I argue that despite the efforts to impart knowledge of, and enforce adherence to, ’pure’ notions of organic practice through organic standards, the pressure of market forces instead causes growers to sacrifice organic ideals in the name of taking measures to boost productivity instead. As organic agriculture is integrated ever more deeply into regimes of certification and standardization required for participation in the market, it has become more and more akin to the very conventional agricultural paradigm it was originally intended to oppose. In sum, although the organic market has grown with remarkable speed in recent years, this growth cannot be viewed as indicative of the arrival of a truly radical ’alternative paradigm’ of agriculture.

description: The problem of calculating the period of second order nonlinear autonomous oscillators is formulated as an eigenvalue problem. We show that the period can be obtained from two integral variational principles dual to each other. Upper and lower bounds on the period can be obtained to any desired degree of accuracy. The results are illustrated by an application to the Duffing equation.

Outlaws of Laar
Creators: name: Brown, Maryn C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: One year has passed since Seth Locke’s grandfather Sedgewick disappeared, but the discovery of Sedgewick’s research on inter-world travel prompts Seth to launch an investigation-and that investigation transports Seth straight into the otherworld of Laar . Scared and alone, Seth’s only ambitions are to find Sedgewick and get home. Yet when Seth meets Nya Lunya, an escaped welvish slave girl and student of healing magicks, he realizes that Laar has problems of its own. The forests of Laar are dying, and a tyrant who calls himself the Great One rules selfishly over all. With the help of the ghost-like wolf guide Erebis, Seth and Nya embark on a treacherous journey to find Sedgewick and save Laar, and learn along the way that outlaws aren’t always the bad guys.

description: The hardware transactional memory (HTM) implementations in commercially available processors are significantly hindered by their tight capacity constraints. In practice, this renders current HTMs unsuitable to many real-world workloads of in-memory databases. This paper proposes SI-HTM, which stretches the capacity bounds of the underlying HTM, thus opening HTM to a much broader class of applications. SI-HTM leverages the HTM implementation of the IBM POWER architecture with a software layer to offer a single-version implementation of Snapshot Isolation. When compared to HTM- and software-based concurrency control alternatives, SI-HTM exhibits improved scalability, achieving speedups of up to 300% relatively to HTM on in-memory database benchmarks.

description: L'ensemble des cultures vivrières, maraîchères et fruitières en Guadeloupe couvre moins de 10 % de la superficie agricole utilisée et constitue des cultures secondaires de diversification. Le programme sectoriel « Fruits et Légumes » qui a été agréé en juillet 1999, est un cadre qui vise à favoriser l'organisation de ces filières et à mettre en place des objectifs de développement sur le moyen terme (2 à 7 ans). Ce programme représente un montant de 136.568 KF et couvre une période allant de 2000 à 2006. 11 présente un certain nombre d'opérations à mettre en oeuvre et identifie les partenaires publics et privés pouvant intervenir et assurer la complémentarité des moyens de financement. Ce programme constitue un outil de développement cohérent et induit un effet de levier sur les interventions des différents partenaires ; cependant la lenteur et la complexité des procédures administratives, l'incapacité des maîtres d'ouvrage à mobiliser leur part d'autofinancement et bien d'autres facteurs constituent autant de freins à la bonne marche de ce système.
Social Performance of Islamic Banks

description: This study analyzes the social performance of 40 Islamic banks from 13 countries over the period 2012-2018, aiming to investigate to what extent Islamic banks around the world meet the social goals of the Islamic moral economy. As key financial institutions that operate within the framework of the Islamic moral economy, Islamic banks are expected to play and emphasize their socio-economic role in society by improving their economic, social, ethical, and environmental performance. Therefore, social performance in this paper was measured via a comprehensive evaluation framework using a maqasid index based on disclosure analysis. The main findings suggested that Islamic banks achieved 35% of the maximum index value, which indicated a room for improving their social performance. There was an encouraging fact that social performance over the observed period grew on a yearly basis. The average growth rate of social performance per year was 3.58%, which did not guarantee significant changes in a short time, but it was evident that banks made some progress in this regard over the observed period. Moreover, the highest score of Islamic banks' social performance was recorded in the category I3 (“Self”) of the social performance index, which was based on the level of investment in the real sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). On the contrary, the lowest rating was registered in the category I5 (“Posterity”). An alarming fact was that Islamic banks demonstrated deficient environmental awareness and achieved low performance in this index component. Further, banks from Indonesia achieved the highest social performance. Also, to provide an easier understanding of the social performance of Islamic banks compared to the expectations of the Islamic moral economy, banks were categorized into specific categories according to a rating system similar to the CAMELS approach in conventional banking, but based on the Islamic moral economy social performance framework.

description: Hot pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is indigenous to the Caribbean region between latitudes of approximately l°-23° north or south of the equator. It has been consistently shown that in the region the cultivation of the hot pepper cultivars with Scoville (Heat) Test units of >200,000 (super hot group) for pungency is profitable and internationally competitive. The paper would offer a definition of "industry" and the hot pepper industry of the Caribbean would be defined. An outline of the requirements for the development of the industry would also be given. The presentation would highlight the comparative advantages of the hot pepper cultivars traditionally grown in the region and advance their international acclaim for distinct flavour, highly aromatic and super hot (capsaicin acid derivative).

description: Financial markets have the obligation to support the real economy has become the development and sustainable economic growth. Capital is an indispensable tool for economic growth and prosperity, which is accelerated through the financial markets, and Islamic finance tools have developed significantly in Islamic countries in recent years. Promoting macroeconomic objectives such as sustainability and achieving endogenous and viable economic growth are the purposes of all economic systems. Increasing growth of financial methods and development of these systems drives from this reality that the sustainable development of the financial system is an integral part of economic system development. Islamic financing has emerged in the world financial literature, intending to provide a new model for replacing conventional financial plans and providing financial, commercial and investment facilities and opportunities by the principles of Sharia. This system has been able to identify its various dimensions. Due to the particular benefits and advantages of Islamic financing, the issue of Islamic financing has become critical in the international arena. By assuming Islamic financial systems, it can be concluded that they do not permit the use of current financial methods since usury is forbidden in Islam. So, they attempt to create Islamic financial instruments. As an Islamic and non-usury financial instrument, Sukuk has found a suitable position among Islamic governments and companies. Islamic financing has emerged in the world financial literature to provide a new model for replacing traditional and conventional financial systems and providing financial, commercial and investment facilities and opportunities under the principles of Sharia. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the role of Islamic financing of Sukuk on the economic growth of Malaysia, Iran, Pakistan, Qatar, Bahrain, Turkey, Indonesia, UAE and Saudi Arabia; applying the panel data, will be analysed the variables affecting economic growth (government spending, gross capital formation, labour force, exports and Sukuk).
