Of my understanding of Sharia, Sharia meant to be Safety and a device for Tommy Robinson. As Sharia is meant to be for safety and justice.
Anyway, I believe Tommy Robinsons concern should not be ignored, he has right of seeking safety and freedom to his freedom of speech.

Answer
It seems you’re expressing a mix of views about Tommy Robinson, Sharia law, and interpretations of Islam. It’s important to consider that discussions around these topics can be complex and sensitive, with a range of perspectives.
Tommy Robinson is a controversial figure who has been involved in discussions around immigration, Islam, and free speech, and opinions about him are deeply divided. Supporters often view him as someone standing up for free expression and safety, while critics accuse him of promoting Islamophobia and division.
Regarding Sharia law, it’s essential to recognize that interpretations of Sharia can vary widely among Muslims around the world. Many view it as a guiding framework for ethical and moral conduct, while others associate it with more extreme interpretations that can lead to harmful practices.
It’s crucial Fatema Miah to differentiate between the actions of individuals or groups claiming to represent a religion and the beliefs of the broader community. Many Muslims advocate for peace, understanding, and coexistence, emphasizing that the actions of extremists do not reflect their faith.
Engaging in constructive dialogue and seeking common ground can help bridge divides and foster understanding among diverse perspectives.

How to reduce the risk of leakage of sensitive data of companies, enterprises and institutions that previously employees of these entities enter into ChatGPT?
How to reduce the risk of leakage of sensitive data of companies, enterprises and institutions, which previously employees of these entities enter into ChatGPT or other intelligent chatbots equipped with generative artificial intelligence technology in an attempt to facilitate their work?
Despite the training and updating of internal rules and regulations in many companies and enterprises regarding the proper use of intelligent chatbots, i.e., for example, the ChatGPT made available online by OpenAI and other similar intelligent applications that more technology companies are making available on the Internet, there are still situations where reckless employees enter sensitive data of the companies and enterprises where they are employed into these online tools. In such a situation, there is a high risk that the data and information entered into ChatGPT, Copilot or any other such chatbot may subsequently appear in a reply, an edited report, essay, article, etc. by this application on the smartphone, laptop, computer, etc. of another user of the said chatbot. In this way, another Internet user may accidentally or through a deliberate action of searching for specific data come into possession of particularly important, key, sensitive data for a business entity, public institution or financial institution, which may concern, for example, confidential strategic plans, i.e., information of great value to competitors or intelligence organizations of other countries. This kind of situation has already happened and occurred in some companies characterized by highly recognizable brands in specific markets for the sale of products or services. Such situations clearly indicate that it is necessary to improve internal procedures for data and information protection, improve issues of efficiency of data protection systems, early warning systems informing about the growing risk of loss of key company data, and improve systems for managing the risk of potential leakage of sensitive data and possible cybercriminal attack on internal company information systems. In addition, in parallel to improving the aforementioned systems that ensure a certain level of data and information security, internal regulations should be updated on an ongoing basis according to the scale of the risk, the development of new technologies and their implementation in the business entity, with regard to the issue of correct use by employees of chatbots available on the Internet. In parallel, training should be conducted, during which employees learn about both new opportunities and risks arising from the use of new applications and tools based on generative artificial intelligence technology made available on the Internet. Another solution to this problem may be to order the company to completely ban employees from using smart chatbots made available on the Internet. In such a situation, the company will be forced to create its own, operating as internal such applications and intelligent chatbots, which are not connected to the Internet and operate solely as integral modules of the company's internal information systems. This type of solution will probably involve the company incurring significant financial expenses as a result of creating its own such IT solutions. The costs can be significant and many small companies' financial barrier can be high. However, on the other hand, if the construction of internal IT systems equipped with their own intelligent chatbot solutions becomes an important element of competitive advantage over key direct competitors, the mentioned financial expenses will probably be considered in the category of financial resources allocated to investment and development projects that are important for the future of the company.
The key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology are described in my article below:
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How to reduce the risk of leakage of sensitive data of companies, enterprises and institutions, which employees of these entities previously input into ChatGPT or other intelligent chatbots equipped with generative artificial intelligence technology in an attempt to facilitate their work?
How do you mitigate the risk of leakage of sensitive data of companies, enterprises and institutions that previously employees of these entities enter into ChatGPT?

What serious things can an LLM like ChatGPT be used for in work? From what I see, it is most often used by people who lack natural intelligence and use this tool to create shallow content. Especially in marketing and advertising. I'm probably not seeing everything, but the responses generated by ChatGPT themselves are so buggy and unreliable that I can't imagine anyone responsible using them for any serious purpose. Yes - the best solution seems to me to avoid using such tools in serious applications where the tool could have access to sensitive data, and to use it only as a successor to the "answering machine", or as a replacement for copywriters.

Has the current energy crisis, including rising fossil fuel and energy prices, increased the scale of public acceptance for building a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear power can be an important element in increasing the diversification of energy sources when other types of energy sources have been developed in the country. Among these other sources of energy types, many countries have traditional, dirty, emission-intensive fossil fuel-based energy sources and various types of environmentally and climatically clean renewable and emission-free energy sources developed mainly in recent years. Emission-free energy sources based on cold fusion and hydrogen power will be developed in the future. This is particularly important in view of the developing climate crisis generated by increasing civilisational greenhouse gas emissions and the accelerating process of global warming. In order to slow down the progressive process of global warming, it is necessary to carry out a full pro-climate transformation of the energy sector through the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources within the next few to a maximum of a dozen years. An alternative transition technology to achieve a fully carbon-free economy, including a carbon-free power sector, could be nuclear power. Nuclear power plants under construction today are much safer than those built a few decades ago. The use of modern technologies makes it possible to ensure a very high level of safety in the operation of nuclear power plants regardless of the action of various external factors, including, for example, the fall of a large aircraft on the power plant or ballistic missiles. In addition, it has been estimated that, given current fossil fuel prices, nuclear power could be several times cheaper than coal power. Research institutes analysing nuclear safety issues have estimated that the probability of an accident in a modern nuclear power plant is 1:40 million. By comparison, the probability of a person being struck by lightning is estimated at 1:300,000. Consequently, the scale of public acceptance for the construction of a nuclear power plant is increasing. This change is influenced by the above-mentioned issues of improving the safety of nuclear power operations and the current energy crisis.
And what does this issue look like in your country?
What are the key factors in changing the level of public acceptance for the construction of a nuclear power plant?
What is the role of the media and governmental socio-marketing campaigns in changing the general public awareness of the issue?
Has the current energy crisis, including rising fossil fuel and energy prices, increased the scale of public acceptance for the construction of a nuclear power plant?

Answer
The unfolding energy crisis is likely to exacerbate the scale of the projected downturn in the global economy in 2023, which will be triggered by the high levels of inflation occurring in many countries. The rise in inflation, which will start in many countries as early as the beginning of 2021, is the result of the interventionist mild fiscal and monetary policies applied. The policy of public financial assistance applied in 2020 for commercially operating economic entities that have been temporarily subjected to lockdowns is a highly controversial issue. Many academics and researchers warned as early as mid-2020 that the lockdowns being introduced and the excessive scale of the financial public assistance applied would first exacerbate the scale of the economy's recession in 2020 and then trigger a rise in inflation from 2021 onwards. I have also pointed out these issues in other issues and questions on the discussion forum of this Research Gate portal as early as mid-2020. The growing economic problems have not been resolved and the crisis factors neutralised and in the current 2022 another crisis has emerged, which has been aggravated by the war in Ukraine, which has been ongoing since the end of February 2022. This crisis is the developing energy crisis. The scale of the development of this crisis will vary from country to country which is determined by various national and regional factors. These factors include, on the one hand, the level of electricity and heat consumption in the various sectors of the economy; the sectoral and industry structure of the economy; the level of energy production based on domestic fossil fuel resources; the level of development of renewable energy sources; the level of national self-sufficiency, diversification of energy sources and energy security; the level of modernity of the technologies used to build the power plants that produce the bulk of the electricity and heat consumed in the national economy and their technical condition; the level of public awareness of energy conservation and switching their households to own and renewable energy sources. The energy crisis could also significantly exacerbate the projected downturn in the economy in 2023. In view of the above, the energy crisis could significantly exacerbate the projected 2022 economic downturn triggered by rising inflation. And this is not the end of the developing crises. We are already seeing another crisis developing, which is the food crisis partly as a result of the above-mentioned crises. The climate crisis, which is also multifaceted and linked to the key drivers of the current and developing crises, will intensify in the years and decades ahead. The issues are developmental and forward-looking. I therefore invite you to continue the discussion on the determinants of the potential development of the energy crisis.

Answer
The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic is a global epidemic. On a global scale, the state of the pandemic in March 2020 was announced by the World Health Organization. Therefore, this organization could declare the end of the pandemic. On the other hand, the end of the epidemic on a regional, national or local scale can be announced by national central institutions of the health care system, including the ministries of health, in agreement with the government. In order to be able to declare the end of the epidemic on a national, regional or local scale, it is necessary to have a relatively large decrease in the number of new coronavirus infections, a decrease in the number of people seriously ill with Covid-19 disease and deaths caused by this disease. The decrease in Coronavirus infections and in sick people should be sustained in a longer period, i.e. min. several months, taking into account the periods of possible occurrence of subsequent epidemic waves caused by new variants of the Coronavirus and occurring in other regions of the world. In addition, an important factor that may be taken into account in the event of declaring the end of a pandemic on a global scale or an epidemic on a regional scale will be the level of vaccination of citizens with highly effective vaccines against Coronavirus and the level of social, collective immunity of the society achieved thanks to these vaccines.

In my opinion, sensitive personal data concerning individual users who set up profiles, collected on social media portals, are not fully secure. This is confirmed by the occurrence of data leaks, data theft by cybercriminals.
In connection with the above, the issue of information security on the Internet is becoming an increasingly global problem and therefore, in the global approach, institutions and security systems for the transfer of information on the Internet should be developed. The security of information on the Internet can refer to many aspects of data security both at the level of central state institutions and international organizations as well as the security of personal data of individual citizens, sensitive data of citizens collected on various websites, including social media portals.
The improvement of risk management and information security systems at the supranational level is also a key issue. Technological companies managing social media portals on the one hand try to improve data security systems about users setting up accounts on social media portals. On the other hand, it is also important to cooperate with key, central data security institutions on the Internet that operate transnational.

How I can do the inherent safety analysis of mixed refrigerant cycle, is there any mixing rule available or I should make some assumption, or I should give priority to any specific component of the mixed refrigerant and do the safety analysis.
It will be very kind of you if you can manage some time and give me your valuable feedback.
Best regards,
Rasel

Answer
For a quick first check I would recommend contacting your equipment manufacturer. For their own development and research I am sure that they have such analyses on the shelf. If you are a student, you may still be able to obtain that information from a supplier, or contact someone in the LNG industry. That is not any type of proprietary knowledge, and all Safety Professionals are happy to share anything that will promote safer operations and understanding.
From a chemical perspective you really can look at each component individually in terms of safety. The negative effects are usually additive. That is, the addition of nitrogen, argon, or helium doesn't do a lot to mitigate the potential effect from a release of the flammable components, and each of them will have the same thermal operating envelope in the mixture as they do individually.

A correct interpretation of reliability analysis is determinative for researchers and industrial developers to refine their design and also prepare proper maintenance scheduling and safety analysis. However, I still see that many designers prefer to use classical safety factors instead of reliability analysis techniques. what's your sense about this.
For example, imagine that you are going to buy a bearing and I say you this bearing's reliability is 94% for the expected life of 5 years. it means that if you test 100 bearings under normal performance, almost 6 of them should fail after 5 years. does this analysis makes sense for you in your research and development?
and if the answer is yes, how do you use the outcome of reliability analysis in your research area. the answer is important for me because I am going to start developing commercial software for reliability analysis and it is important to see what are the expectations of experts from the reliability analysis methods.

Most measures to stop vehicles use a (somewhat) controlled conversion of motion energy into deformation. I expect, this is very difficult for movable barriers. The first part of the barrier that would be deformed and destroyed would be the mechanical part.

Answer
Biological effects of UV radiation (e.g., to the eye and skin) are limited when receiving direct exposure. UVC radiation produces no toxic byproducts (including air emissions and volatile compounds), so you can safely enter the room when the system does not emit UVC (including soon after switched off). This is different from activation (production of radioactivity in materials) following exposure to some types of ionizing radiation such as neutrons.

Answer
Thank you, Dariusz, for posting a most relevant question. My area of research is users' behaviors in information security.
You are indeed right that privacy is connected to information security, and online social networks (OSNs) has a huge amount of personal information shared by person himself or one of his connections. There is also a debate on the differences of OSN, social media websites, social media portals and similar others. There are similarities in them but different researchers used these terms without any standardization.
Moving away from the debate of "user of correct term", I believe users have share already a lot on the OSNs and I am compelled to say that at individual level we have lost the battle of privacy against the giants such as Facebook and Google. They know and remember much more than we do. However, what is left behind is to preserve privacy of an individual from being violated by "Script kiddies" and a tech savvy guy(s). We need to raise awareness among the users based on this point.
The other point you have mentioned was about use of users' data for marketing purpose. Well, that was purpose of OSNs, otherwise, how will they gather revenue for their businesses. What we, as researchers, should look into how to improve and make their terms and conditions users' friendly so that users' may read them before accepting them. I must say only the most informed users will read the terms as their needs to use an OSN is much more higher than their perceived importance of privacy :)
I would love to discuss more, and even work if you have something in mind to initiate.
Cheers,
Ali

Yuting updated on May 22
_______________________________________________
Hi,
I am in the process of testing a safety climate model I built before based on a new dataset from other countries. I just started to look at the measurement invariance, which tests whether a different sample behaves in a similar way based on the same measurement "structure".
I feel a little confused, given the fact that different samples may behave differently. For example, one factor can be measured by six questions based sample 1, while only 5 questions can significantly measure the factor based on sample 2. My question is, we know that the measurement model can be different, why we still test measurement invariance? can we just propose two different measurement models based on two samples, rather than test the same model based on two samples?

I accidently stepped on a knotted biohazard bag (which was kept on the floor for some reason) and got some of the liquid on my shoe, socks and skin of my foot.
I work with HCMV, HBV and Zika. However each biohazard bag contains like 500 ml of bleach in which microtips used to handle virus samples were discarded. So the bleach to virus ratio is pretty high.

Relevant answer
Answer
If your personal protective equipment (PPE) was in place, no puncture has occurred and the biohazard bag was sealed properly (assuming that all sharp materials was disposed into a safe container), no harm should come. The best thing to do in case of spillage or accidents is not to panic but follow the safety guidelines which should also be displayed as an SOP inside your laboratory (link below) and inform the biosafety officer or the laboratory in-charge. The contact time for chlorine-based disinfectants varies from 10-60 minutes. However, the surface of the discard bags prior to removal from the cabinet are also usually cleansed with suitable non-corrosive solutions. If some uncertainty still persists, its best to get yourself examined.
Here are some reading materials which might help.

If the safety imput from culture and climate are at odds will this increase the risk of an accident.
Relevant answer
Answer
Interesting question.
Some clarifications are in order before attempting a complete answer.
I suppose you mean *congruent* and that *safety inputs* imply risk avoidance, hazard reduction and the like. A first issue is that congruent has a very clear meaning in mathematics (e.g., geometry) but may not apply to this question because the two aspects you are concerned with (culture and climate) are vague. Intuitively, culture and climate are correlated in some ways. Both climate and culture have many dimensions hence we need more specificity on these. I would begin as follows. Assume that climate signals (e.g., temperature changes ) affect some specific aspect of culture (e.g., aesthetics) either directly or indirectly and "cause" a change. If so, the problem can be formulated via correlations (not merely statistical) and other techniques including qualitative methods. Does this help frame the question a bit more precisely?
