We aim to address this confusion by addressing some of the most dangerous threats to humanity, in hopes of providing a direction to approach this problem. Using a probabilistic model, we observed the effects of nuclear war, climate change, asteroid impacts, artificial intelligence and pandemics, which are among the most harmful disasters in terms of their extent of destruction on the length of human survival. We consider the starting point of the predicted average number of survival years as the present calendar year. Nuclear war, when sampling from an artificial normal distribution, results in an average human survival time of 60 years into the future starting from the present, before a civilization-ending disaster. While climate change results in an average human survival time of 193 years, the simulation based on impact from asteroids results in an average of 1754 years. Since the risks from asteroid impacts could be considered to reside mostly in the far future, it can be concluded that nuclear war, climate change, and pandemics are presently the most prominent threats to humanity. Additionally, the danger from superiority of artificial intelligence over humans, although still somewhat abstract, is worthy of further study as its potential for impeding humankind’s progress towards becoming a more advanced civilization cannot be confidently dismissed.","PeriodicalId":267360,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125583046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty students and eight teachers were selected for this study. Students were chosen randomly and all the teachers were taken comprehensively. For the interview four students (2 males and 2 females) were selected purposively to obtain the desired information. Survey method of analysis was employed. Questionnaires and semi structured interview were tools to gather data. Questionnaire items were used to see the level of motivation ranged from 3.69 - 5.00 high level of motivation 2.35 - 3.68, moderate level of motivation and1.00 - 2.34 low level of motivation. The highest level of students motivation was observed for the many of the questions for instance, attitude to learn English and motivation intensity” Similarly, high scores were investigated for teachers. Generally many of students and teachers’ motivation were high. Therefore, the findings of this study revealed that students and teachers were highly motivated to learn and teach English as a foreign language respectively. According to the students’ responses for the interview, all of them confirmed that they had high interest to learn EFL, but they did not have confidence to speak out English language when they attended it, Finally, they promised to be confident and learn English to be benefited. Based on the findings obtained, the researcher recommended that motivation helps EFL learners and teachers in General Secondary School to improve their English language learning teaching process.","PeriodicalId":267360,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128580984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lack Of Access To Technology Among Youth Of Color: An Unbalanced Impact Of Covid-19 有色人种青年缺乏获得技术的机会:Covid-19的不平衡影响

The United States reportedly lost over 500,000 citizens to the virus with variants lingering domestically and abroad [1]. Subsequently, the virus and overall global pandemic conditions have had unforeseen changes. These changes included disruptions in everyday life, from the way we work, play, and socialize with others at home and in outside settings. Suddenly society was faced with urgent needs to secure new means of delivering quality education primarily through virtual learning platforms. Learning Management Systems (LMS) were operationalized and entailed the implementation of delivering learning outcomes. Unfortunately, youth and particularly young adults of color, found themselves on the losing end of the technology gap. They not only lacked necessary resources such as updated computer models, but also lacked highspeed internet service and/or proper knowledge for surviving the abrupt transition [2]. Key issues will be discussed related to student and faculty experiences. Specific discussions related to the digital divide of students by household social economic status, as is represented by K-12 data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and other sources. Additionally, the impact of COVID-19 on faculty and on college level youth and the impact of sudden change in educational deliverables as reflected in their qualitative responses and interactive experiences are explored.","PeriodicalId":267360,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121814097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Robust Speech Features Extractor & Reconstructor For Artificial Intelligence Frontends 一种面向人工智能前端的鲁棒语音特征提取与重构方法

{"title":"A Robust Speech Features Extractor & Reconstructor For Artificial Intelligence Frontends","authors":"","doi":"10.33140/jhss.05.03.06","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33140/jhss.05.03.06","url":null,"abstract":"Human speech consists mainly of three components: a glottal signal, a vocal tract response, and a harmonic shift. The three respectively correlate with the intonation (pitch), the formants (timbre), and the speech resolution (depth). Adding the intonation of the Fundamental Frequency (FF) to Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems is necessary. First, the intonation conveys a primitive paralanguage. Second, its speaker-tuning reduces background noises to clarify acoustic observations. Third, extracting the speech features is more efficient when they are computed together at the same time. This work introduces a frequency-modulation model, a novel quefrency-based speech feature extraction that is named Speech Quefrency Transform (SQT), and its proper quefrency scaling and transformation function. The cepstrums, which are spectrums of spectrums, are suggested in time unit accelerations, whereby the discrete variable, the quefrency, is measured in Hertz-per-microsecond. The extracted features are comparable to Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) integrated within a quefrency-based pitch tracker. The SQT transform directly expands time samples of stationary signals (i.e., speech) to a higher dimensional space, which can help generative Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in unsupervised Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. The proposed methodologies, which are a scalable solution that is compatible with dynamic and parallel programming for refined speech and cepstral analysis, can robustly estimate the features after applying a matrix multiplication in less than a hundred sub-bands, preserving precious computational resources.","PeriodicalId":267360,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121033984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
