Arabicization via Loan Translation: A Corpus-based Analysis of Neologisms Translated from English into Arabic in the Field of Information Technology

Abstract This study aims to use a corpus-based analysis to examine loan translation (LT) as an Arabicization technique in Written Standard Arabic (WSA) for information technology (IT) and investigate the factors impacting LT formation. Data were collected from four corpora: four Arabic online newspapers, the Microsoft Language Portal, two user manuals, and the Arabic Corpus of King Abdul-Aziz City for Science and Technology (KACST). Four LT strategies were identified: morphosyntactic pattern alteration, literal translation, loan blending, and metaphorical extension. Literal translation occurred in three degrees: full LTs, partial LTs, and non-LTs, through calquing. Metaphors based on functional similarity played a crucial role in understanding and accepting IT terms in WSA. Paradigmatic variation prevailed in LTs, with synonymous variations more common than nonsynonymous ones, and no syntagmatic variation. The KACST analysis showed significant differences in occurrence frequency among LT variants. LT formation and variation were influenced by linguistic factors such as lexical need, semantic transparency, and lexical borrowing, as well as extralinguistic factors such as nationalism and lack of coordination among Arabic language academies. The study concludes with implications for addressing the absence of coordination between these academies and improving IT-related LT quality between English and WSA.

SUBSTANTIVE CRIMINAL PROTECTION FOR THE RIGHT TO IMAGE IN THE DIGITAL ERA UNDER UAE AND FRENCH LEGISLATION

Background: The right to image is considered one of the most important personal rights related to the person, simply because the image does recognise its owner from his or her peers, thus constituting a vital element of one's private life. Accordingly, legal protection of the right to image is highly required on both civil and criminal levels. There is no doubt that such a requirement can be attributed to the notable developments in the field of information technology, and what has been produced by digital devices and misused by people has led to the rapid spread of images in the virtual space, where any individuals have become subject to the violation of their private life. Based on this, the legal provisions of both Emirati and French legislators have adopted legal provisions that would ensure full and substantive criminal protection of the right to image, confirming the criminalisation of all forms of assault on this right, in addition to defining the controls and penalties that shall be applied against these attacks. Methods: To thoroughly tackle our research issue and its consequences, we will employ a descriptive, analytical, and comparative method. This approach is structured to meticulously explore every aspect of the research subject, albeit succinctly, and integrate jurisprudential principles with current judicial precedents. Results and Conclusions: The current research results show that comparative legislation lacks a precise definition concerning the violation of the right to image, thus leaving its interpretation to be determined by jurisprudence and the judiciary. In Emirati and French legal frameworks, this offence is not explicitly delineated but is rather encompassed within regulations safeguarding private life. The right to image is not absolute, with exceptions permitting capturing photographs for public interest. Protection of images is deemed essential within the context of private life rights. While UAE legislation mandates the use of devices for such violations, French law offers flexibility, allowing for various means of perpetration. Both legal systems stipulate that the act must occur in a private, unauthorised context and prohibit alterations to photographs without consent. Unlike UAE law, French legislation imposes penalties for the dissemination of sexually explicit images. Finally, the infringement upon the right to image is categorised as an intentional offence in both legal systems

Regional features of the tax burden of IT companies in the context of increasing their sustainability

This article characterizes the dynamics of the tax burden of Russian IT-companies as a key factor in their economic sustainability. This study aims to determine regional characteristics of the level of tax burden in the field of information techno­logy in order to identify best practices with the possibility of further replication of successful experience. To achieve this goal, an analysis is carried out of changes in the tax burden in the post-COVID period compared to 2019. Particular attention is paid to the dynamics of the tax burden depending on the scale of enterprises. The results show that the trend of reducing the tax burden in the post-COVID period is not stable for all Russian regions. The low level of tax burden is associated not so much with the industry of activity (in particular, with the field of information technology), but with regional characteristics (the creation of tax preferences in certain territories). Currently, state support for business through tax methods is aimed more at supporting certain regions and not the sphere of IT. The most typical scale of enterprises in the information technology sector, demonstrating a minimal tax burden, assumes revenue from 30 to 120 mln rubles a year. Such scaling of business in this area allows not only to use tax preferences established by the current Russian tax legislation, but also to find resources for organizing effective tax planning.

СУЧАСНИЙ СТАН, ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ СПІВРОБІТНИЦТВА УКРАЇНИ З КРАЇНАМИ-УЧАСНИЦЯМИ АСЕАН

The purpose of the article is to analyze the main areas of foreign economic cooperation of Ukraine with ASEAN member countries and to determine the future prospects of their interaction. The article examines the trade and economic relations of Ukraine with ASEAN member countries during 2014-2022. An analysis of the volume of trade in goods between the parties is presented, which indicates a gradual increase in trade turnover from 2015 to 2021 and its further reduction in 2022 due to the start of a full-scale war The main categories of export and import of goods between Ukraine and ASEAN member countries in 2022 have been determined, which include grain crops, vegetable fats and oils, telecommunications equipment, metal products, etc. The geographical structure of trade operations was analyzed and the most popular export and import destinations for Ukraine, such as Malaysia and Vietnam, were determined. It is proven that, despite the gradual increase in trade volumes, the level of investment activity between the parties remains low, which is determined by a number of negative factors, including the war with Russia, corruption and the uncertainty of the legal environment in Ukraine. Positive factors that increase the investment attractiveness of Ukraine for the countries of Southeast Asia are considered, in particular, the geopolitical position and the presence of a highly qualified workforce. Based on the data of the National Bank of Ukraine, it was determined that the largest number of investments in Ukraine comes from Singapore, in particular, in enterprises in the fields of industry, trade and agriculture. The existence of significant potential for the development of trade and economic relations between Ukraine and ASEAN member countries has been proven. Ways of intensifying bilateral cooperation were proposed, such as the implementation of joint projects in the field of information technology and infrastructure, increasing the volume of Ukrainian exports and the creation of special economic zones. The need to sign trade agreements and expand business ties for the further development of cooperation between Ukraine and ASEAN member countries is highlighted.

Work in IT for women: The realities of Ukraine


 
 
 The article presents a study conducted on gender equality in Ukraine in the field of information technology. The problem of gender inequality still exists throughout the world. The purpose of the article is to study the working conditions of women in IT, to discuss the possible use of stereotypes, and to identify the reasons for women’s lack of interest in working in this field. Formally, there is no prohibition for women to work in the IT industry. However, there are a number of reasons in Ukraine that affect the possibilities of pursuing a career in this direction. The article analyzes the available statistical data and the results of a survey among representatives of the IT sector. It is worth noting the problem of data collection during the war in Ukraine. The importance of the sphere for the country’s economy as a whole and the relevance, demand for specialists, as well as the ratio of women and men employed in this area are considered. Global trends in gender distribution in the field of IT were analyzed. The main stereotypes and situations that constitute obstacles for women in this area are considered and the features inherent in Ukrainian society are also highlighted. Based on the statistical data of Ukraine the number and structure of female students, including foreigners, in recent years were analyzed. It was revealed that the structure of the gender ratio of men and women in education is changing with the formation of the labor market of Ukraine and the distribution by employment status. The ratio of working women and men is approximately the same, but the structure by employment status is different. In Ukraine the IT sector is largely based on individual entrepreneurs. Despite the martial law, the IT community is actively developing and new companies are being created. Training is actively carried out in paid and free courses. Surveys were conducted among students, and it was found that the beginning of a career in the field of information technology is already determined by certain stereotypes of society. Based on the conducted research, the structural gender relations in the field of IT and the main stereotypes that hinder the development of women in this area are analyzed. Recommendations for overcoming gender inequality in the field of IT in Ukraine are presented. Based on the information received, conclusions were drawn: the number of women and men studying technical and mathematical sciences in Ukraine is approximately the same. But in the future, in professional activities, women in many cases prefer to occupy weaker positions, leaving leading positions to men. The main reason for this dynamic is the generally accepted stereotypes and the actualization of the role of women in other areas.
 
 

Advancing Fruit Image Classification with State-of-the-Art Deep Learning Techniques

Fruit image classification technology using deep learning is making significant contributions in the agriculture and food retail sectors, promising to increase efficiency and productivity. However, there is an identified knowledge gap in dealing with the considerable variation in fruit appearance caused by factors such as type, size, color, and lighting conditions, as well as the precise identification of damage or disease. This research focuses on applying the developed Convolutional Neural Network architecture to fill this gap by using it in an extensive and diverse dataset, covering 67,692 image files categorized into 131 fruit classes. The training process showed substantial accuracy improvement, with training accuracy reaching 98.39% and validation accuracy at 90%, while training loss decreased to 0.0430 and validation loss to 0.2991. In the advanced stage of training, the training accuracy peaked at 99.43% in the 59th epoch with a shallow loss of 0.0251. However, the validation loss showed variation, indicating room for improvement in model generalization. The findings provide insight into the potential and challenges of applying Convolutional Neural Network models and fruit image classification with improved fruit sorting accuracy. Contribution to the literature in the field of information technology and agriculture by showing deep learning models can be improved to address the issue of fruit image variability.

Detecting Upcoming Patent Keywords by Predicting Keyword Trends Using Patent Keyword Network

In this ever-changing technological landscape, the ability to quickly predict technological trends becomes crucial for any company or institute engaged in informed decision-making and strategic planning. Data for predicting technological trends can come from various sources such as patent data, which is easily accessible to the public due to the nature of patents. This research is aimed at patent analysis, focusing on combining the keyword- based method, social network analysis (SNA) method, and neural network prediction to propose a feasible keyword trend prediction method based on patent analysis by targeting upcoming keyword trends. More specifically, we utilize Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to predict changes in keyword frequency using keyword centralities as input. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed method, we constructed the input dataset using the USPTO patent database in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field. We then experimented to compare the proposed method with the benchmark method. Furthermore, to counteract the unbalanced nature of patent data, the SMOGN method is introduced. The results demonstrate its potential for application in broader contexts.
