Crisis of Translating Scientific Terms into Arabic Between Terms Creation and Use

This paper presents a study and analysis of the Arabic terms crisis as well as its impacts on the translator work, since this later is one of the first concerned by the crisis . It sheds light, after explaining the crisis and its causes, on the choices to take by the translator in order to translate the foreign terms into Arabic language in the midst of Arabic terms disunion and absence of real standardization between the different parties concerned with terms creation and use. In this context, the translator will have a double responsibility, he has to take into consideration the existing correspondences used by speakers , even if they don’t respect the conditions of terms creation, and the proposed terms by specialists in terminology such as the academies of Arabic language and the arabization coordination office. He must take into account the difference of terms use among the different groups of speakers. In fact, the scientific concepts remain the same in spite of the multiplicity of the used terms, but this multiplicity affects the reception and use of the true scientific information. It also affects the communication operation in case of different groups of speakers using different terms , and has an impact on the translator work which must take into consideration the conditions of terms creation and the reality of terms use. At the end of this paper and in order to put an end to this crisis we emphasize on the necessity of arabization of all sectors by unifying all efforts in one organism to be a reference for language specialists, translators and all speakers.

Iraqi EFL university students' word recognition strategies and vocabulary proficiency: A correlational study

Word recognition is a cognitive activity widely acknowledged as a hallmark of fluent L2 readers. Understanding a text can only be accomplished with the ability to decode printed words efficiently. Another factor affecting students' comprehension is vocabulary. Therefore, this research aims to investigate whether there is any significant relationship between word recognition strategies and vocabulary knowledge among Iraqi university students. This study made use of four instruments to collect the data. A comprehensive framework for evaluating students' vocabulary proficiency consists of two tests: one measures the reception and production of vocabulary information and the other assesses orthographic coding and phonological decoding procedures. The results show that the respondents use both strategies to an average degree with over-reliance on the orthographic one in recognizing English words by employing a descriptive correlational research design with 400 respondents. Furthermore, a positive relationship was observed between word recognition strategies and vocabulary proficiency.

Identification of chemosensory genes in the stingless bee Tetragonisca fiebrigi.

Reception of chemical information from the environment is crucial for insects' survival and reproduction. The chemosensory reception mainly occurs by the antennae and mouth parts of the insect, when the stimulus contacts the chemoreceptors located within the sensilla. Chemosensory receptor genes have been well-studied in some social hymenopterans such as ants, honeybees, and wasps. However, although stingless bees are the most representative group of eusocial bees, little is known about their odorant, gustatory, and ionotropic receptor genes. Here, we analyze the transcriptome of the proboscis and antennae of the stingless bee Tetragonisca fiebrigi. We identified and annotated 9 gustatory and 15 ionotropic receptors. Regarding the odorant receptors, we identified 204, and we were able to annotate 161 of them. In addition, we compared the chemosensory receptor genes of T. fiebrigi with those annotated for other species of Hymenoptera. We found that T. fiebrigi showed the largest number of odorant receptors compared with other bees. Genetic expansions were identified in the subfamilies 9-exon, which was also expanded in ants and paper wasps; in G02A, including receptors potentially mediating social behavior; and in GUnC, which has been related to pollen and nectar scent detection. Our study provides the first report of chemosensory receptor genes in T. fiebrigi and represents a resource for future molecular and physiological research in this and other stingless bee species.

Cultural traits operating in senders are driving forces of cultural evolution.

We introduce a mathematical model of cultural evolution to study cultural traits that shape how individuals exchange information. Current theory focuses on traits that influence the reception of information (receiver traits), such as evaluating whether information represents the majority or stems from a trusted source. Our model shifts the focus from the receiver to the sender of cultural information and emphasizes the role of sender traits, such as communicability or persuasiveness. Here, we show that sender traits are probably a stronger driving force in cultural evolution than receiver traits. While receiver traits evolve to curb cultural transmission, sender traits can amplify it and fuel the self-organization of systems of mutually supporting cultural traits, including traits that cannot be maintained on their own. Such systems can reach arbitrary complexity, potentially explaining uniquely human practical and mental skills, goals, knowledge and creativity, independent of innate factors. Our model incorporates social and individual learning throughout the lifespan, thus connecting cultural evolutionary theory with developmental psychology. This approach provides fresh insights into the trait-individual duality, that is, how cultural transmission of single traits is influenced by individuals, who are each represented as an acquired system of cultural traits.

Unraveling socioeconomic determinants of health-related behavior, reception of information, and perceptions on disease disclosure at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic: did health insurance curb the disparities in the Philippines?

BackgroundThe study uncovers micro and macro socioeconomic disparities in terms of health behavior, disease perception, and reception of information. Furthermore, findings shed light on the possible role of health insurance on access to information, disease perception and the adoption of preventive behaviors in the context of a public health emergency such as the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsThis study employed a cross-sectional design using the Philippine Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). With a total of 29,809 respondents, it evaluated the individual or household and systemwide socioeconomic determinants of four different outcomes: receipt of information, disease perception, uptake of free preventive services, and treatment-seeking behavior. In addition to logistic regression models with the socioeconomic variables as the independent variables, models for the evaluation of the moderating effect of insurance ownership were fitted. Predicted probabilities were reported for the analysis of moderating effects.ResultsFindings show that individual and householdsocioeconomic determinants affected health-behavior and access to or receipt of information pertinent to the COVID-19 pandemic. Both education and wealth affected the receipt of information such that individuals in more advantaged socioeconomic positions were at least 30% more likely to have received information on COVID-19. Wealth was also associated to treatment-seeking behavior. Regional differences were seen across all dependent variables. Moreover, the study provides evidence that ownership of insurance can close education-based gaps in the uptake of free vaccination and COVID-19 testing.ConclusionIt is imperative that targeted efforts be maximized by utilizing existing strategies and mechanisms to reach the marginalized and disadvantaged segments of the population. Health insurance may give off added benefits that increase proficiency in navigating through the healthcare system. Further research may focus on examining pathways by which health insurance or social policies may be used to leverage responses to public health or environmental emergencies.

Research and Application of Visual Object Recognition System Based on Deep Learning and Neural Morphological Computation

The development of advanced optoelectronic vision sensors for high-level image recognition and data preprocessing is poised to accelerate the progress of machine vision and mobile electronic technology. Compared to traditional sensory computing methods, such as analog-to-digital signal conversion and digital logic computation tasks (i.e., Von Neumann computing), neural morphological vision computing can significantly improve energy efficiency and data processing speed by minimizing unnecessary raw data transmission between front-end photosensitive sensors and back-end processors. Neural morphological vision sensors are typically designed for tasks such as denoising, edge enhancement, spectral filtering, and visual information recognition. These methods can be categorized into approaches using near-sensor and sensor-internal computing processors based on whether preprocessing can be performed in situ. In near-sensor computing approaches, the image sensor for capturing visual information and the memory computing processor for preprocessing captured images are separate. A memory computing processor can simultaneously perform memory and computing tasks based on analog memory functions. Neural morphological vision sensors for in-sensor computing can be constructed using single-element image sensors, enabling both the reception of visual information and the execution of memory computing processes to be achieved in the same device. This represents an ideal scenario for future artificial intelligence machines and mobile electronic devices in visual computing systems.

Results: They showed that the attribute of accessibility in Primary Health Care is still a major conflict, and several problems persist, such as geographic barriers and difficult access by the organization of the service, which highlights the need to break the ordinary care practices that make difficult entry, access, reception and transmission of information. Conclusion: It is necessary to organize more inclusive forms of healthcare offerings, which aim to provide a quality welcome, with a holistic view of the person as a whole, fundamental for better organization of the healthcare service system in healthcare regions.

Cluster-based RSU deployment strategy for vehicular ad hoc networks with integration of communication, sensing and computing

The integration of communications, sensing and computing (I-CSC) has significant applications in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). A roadside unit (RSU) plays an important role in I-CSC by performing functions such as information transmission and edge computing in vehicular communication. Due to the constraints of limited resources, RSU cannot achieve full coverage and deploying RSUs at key cluster heads of hierarchical structures of road networks is an effective management method. However, direct extracting the hierarchical structures for the resource allocation in VANETs is an open issue. In this paper, we proposed a network-based renormalization method based on information flow and geographical location to hierarchically deploy the RSU on the road networks. The renormalization method is compared with two deployment schemes: genetic algorithm (GA) and memetic framework-based optimal RSU deployment (MFRD), to verify the improvement of communication performance. Our results show that the renormalization method is superior to other schemes in terms of RSU coverage and information reception rate.

Emerging mechanistic understanding of cilia function in cellular signalling.

Primary cilia are solitary, immotile sensory organelles present on most cells in the body that participate broadly in human health, physiology and disease. Cilia generate a unique environment for signal transduction with tight control of protein, lipid and second messenger concentrations within a relatively small compartment, enabling reception, transmission and integration of biological information. In this Review, we discuss how cilia function as signalling hubs in cell-cell communication using three signalling pathways as examples: ciliary G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway and polycystin ion channels. We review how defects in these ciliary signalling pathways lead to a heterogeneous group of conditions known as 'ciliopathies', including metabolic syndromes, birth defects and polycystic kidney disease. Emerging understanding of these pathways' transduction mechanisms reveals common themes between these cilia-based signalling pathways that may apply to other pathways as well. These mechanistic insights reveal how cilia orchestrate normal and pathophysiological signalling outputsbroadly throughout human biology.

Information quality, work-family conflict, loneliness, and well-being in remote work settings

Teleworking has rapidly grown and become the prevailing work mode. Married teleworkers may experience increased work-family conflict, while single teleworkers may experience loneliness. This study aims to investigate how teleworkers' information reception quality (Time 1) influences their work-family conflict (Time 2), loneliness (Time 2), and well-being (Time 3) from the perspective of the job demands-resources model. The data were collected through a three-point survey involving 462 participants working from home in Taiwan. The results indicate a negative association between information accuracy and work-family conflict. Work-family conflict, in turn, mediates the relationship between information accuracy and well-being. Information timeliness, as the moderator, weakens the connection between information accuracy and work-family conflict. Additionally, information timeliness is negatively related to loneliness. Loneliness mediates the relationship between information timeliness and well-being. Information accuracy, as the moderator, strengthens the association between information timeliness and loneliness. No impact of information on family-work conflict was observed. Our findings suggest that organizations that convey precise and punctual messages to employees have distinct routes for reducing work-family interference and loneliness and ultimately improving employees’ well-being in remote work contexts. This study contributes to the wider telework literature through information experience.

Model of Satellite Communication Channel Functioning under Conditions of Episodic Synchronization with Pulse Interference Flows

The article investigates the effect of pulse interference on information reception in conditions of episodic synchronization of frames of the physical level of a satellite communication channel with streams of radio pulses of unintended interference. An analytical model of the influence of pulse interference on the reception of information in a satellite communication channel under conditions of episodic synchronization of physical-level frames with pulse interference streams is proposed. Using the example of the DVB family of standards, the combined effect of noise and unintended impulse interference on the conditional error probabilities when receiving a synchro group, the service part of the header and the information part of the frame is shown. Estimates of the average number of frames of the physical level for the duration of the interval of episodic synchronization, the number of intervals of episodic synchronization and the proportion of elementary parcels in the frame exposed to interference, depending on the duration of the pulse interference, are given. It is shown that there are such relations between the duration of the interference pulse and the continuity of the sequence, in which the phenomenon of the episodic synchronization of physical-level frames with the flow of pulse interference has a significant impact on the functioning of the satellite communication channel. The dependences of the probability of erroneous reception of a frame of the physical level of a satellite communication channel on the signal-to-interference ratio at the fixed signal-to-noise ratio and on the duration of the interference pulse are obtained. It has been found that at high signal-to-noise ratios and the duration of the interference correlated with the duration of the service part of the frame, but significantly less than the duration of the frame, the probability of erroneous reception of the frame may be higher than at lower signal-to-noise ratios due to errors when receiving the service part of the frames.

Chinese High School Students' Reception of American TV Series and Their Impact

In the era of increasingly developed Internet, American dramas are spreading more and more widely, and there are more and more kinds of them. This paper examines how young people reacted to American dramas when they were first introduced to China and the results that resulted from the broadcasting of the initially introduced American dramas, leading to the question of why CCTV in China did not later introduce American dramas with multiple subject genres. The researcher mainly studied the reception of information about American dramas by Chinese high school students, distributed questionnaires, and analyzed the data. According to the survey, most of the interviewees (Chinese high school students) processed the information about American dramas appropriately, and more or less produced the phenomenon of cultural adaptation, which is reflected in the fact that the contemporary Chinese high school students’ aesthetics, consumerism, and the concept of love are different from the previous traditional concepts.

Participant/Avoidant Learning Approaches and Academic Performance in Cost Accounting: A Study of South-South Nigerian Federal University Students

Since most students are unaware of the various learning approaches and the best style for learning a particular course (for example, Cost Accounting), they tend to perform below their best. Also, due to the nature of cost accounting as a core accounting course, which has to do with real-work experience and computations, students tend to adopt a different learning approach in learning the course. As a result, they tend to perform below their best. The participant learning approach is an instructional method that actively involves students in their learning process. It emphasizes engagement, interaction, and hands-on experiences rather than passive reception of information. The correlation between avoidant learning strategies and students’ academic achievement in disciplines such as cost accounting is a subject of considerable interest and pertinence. The study investigated the correlation between participant/avoidant learning strategies and students’ academic achievement in cost accounting at four Federal Universities in the South-South region of Nigeria. The population consisted of 556 final-year accounting students from the accounting departments of four Federal Universities. The researchers used a descriptive research design and a randomly selected sample of 248 students. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to analyze the association between the learning style preference of senior accounting students in cost accounting and their academic performance in the preceding semester’s final grade. The study found a significant positive correlation between participants’ learning approach and students’ academic achievement in cost accounting. Conversely, there was a significant negative correlation between the avoidant learning approach and students’ performance in cost accounting. The study recommends fostering self-motivation among students, encouraging them to seek approval from parents and instructors, and exposing them to diverse learning styles. This self-motivation is believed to facilitate the acquisition of appropriate learning strategies for effective learning. The research suggests that students who adopt an avoidant learning approach tend to perform poorly academically. To address this issue, it is recommended that instructors and fellow students discourage.

Neighborhood effect, virtual social networks, and farmers' social e‐commerce participation behavior

AbstractThe development of social e‐commerce can integrate the production, circulation, and sales of agricultural products; realize the digitalization of the agricultural production process; and promote farmers' savings and profits. On the basis of the stimulus–organism–response theory and the embedding theories, microsurvey data of 302 farmers regarding the winter jujube production area of the Dali facility in the Shaanxi Province were used to empirically test the impact of neighborhood effect (NE) and virtual social networks on farmers' participation in social e‐commerce, and the interaction effect of the two aspects. Additionally, we analyzed its mechanism under the framework of “social networks‐farmers' cognition‐social e‐commerce participation behavior (SEPB).” The research results are as follows. First, neighborhood participation, social software friends, and information release have a significant positive impact on farmers' SEPB, whereas information reception has a negative impact. Second, the empirical results considering the comprehensive effects of various variables show that NE, network communication, and network participation (NP) can all promote farmers' participation in social e‐commerce, and NP is complementary to NE. Third, mechanism analysis shows that NE and NP produce partial mediating effect and complete mediating effect, respectively, through self‐competence recognition (SR), which in turn positively impacts the SEPB. In the heterogeneity analysis, for farmers with a plantation area of less than or equal to 0.447 ha, SR has a partial mediating effect on the process of NE affecting SEPB, whereas the motivating factor is NP. In terms of labor force structure, only the percentage of nonagricultural workers exceeds 0.253, NE and NP affect SEPB through SR. This study can provide a reference for farmers to rationally use their social networks, and guide the formulation of social e‐commerce support policies at the national level.

Use of a spatially distributed in-phase antenna to increase the noise immunity of signal reception

Objectives. Radio-technical information transmission systems are widely used in various sectors of our life, not only for telecommunications and associated domestic needs, but also for the functioning of various special services, such as emergency response units, which increasingly use robotic complexes in the course of their work. In the event of an emergency, robot devices can be used to get in under rubble, in concrete pipes or other municipal facilities, which typically result in a sharp deterioration of the necessary conditions for the propagation of radio waves. In this regard, the problem of ensuring reliable communication with the robotic complex becomes rather acute. The aim of the present work is to reduce the effect of multipath propagation of radio waves in the communication channel under complex interference conditions.Methods. The methods of statistical radio engineering and mathematical modeling are used according to optimal signal reception theory.Results. The presented model for a multi-element, spatially-distributed, in-phase receiving antenna of various configurations, featuring an electronically adjustable radiation pattern, is designed to ameliorate the multipath nature of signal propagation. A simulation of a multipath communication channel was carried out in the presence of one main and three reflected beams of radio wave propagation, as well as with harmonic interference at two angles of its arrival and different frequency detuning relative to the frequency of the useful signal. The probability of a bit error when receiving discrete information using the proposed antenna is estimated.Conclusions. The proposed signal processing algorithm on the receiving side can be used to partially compensate for the influence of the multipath effect. As a result, the noise immunity of information reception in comparison with reception on an omnidirectional antenna with one antenna element increases: for a bit error probability of 10−3, the energy gain ranges from 2 dB for two beams to 7–10 dB for three or four beams. In the presence of concentrated harmonic interference in the radio channel, its simultaneous spatial (by the antenna) and spectral (by the demodulator) filtering is also observed, the effectiveness of which depends on the direction of arrival and the frequency detuning of the interference, which also leads to a significant decrease in the error probability.
