Automated source code summarization is a popular software engineering research topic wherein machine translation models are employed to translate'' code snippets into relevant natural language descriptions. Most evaluations of such models are conduct
ed using automatic reference-based metrics. However, given the relatively large semantic gap between programming languages and natural language, we argue that this line of research would benefit from a qualitative investigation into the various error modes of current state-of-the-art models. Therefore, in this work, we perform both a quantitative and qualitative comparison of three recently proposed source code summarization models. In our quantitative evaluation, we compare the models based on the smoothed BLEU-4, METEOR, and ROUGE-L machine translation metrics, and in our qualitative evaluation, we perform a manual open-coding of the most common errors committed by the models when compared to ground truth captions. Our investigation reveals new insights into the relationship between metric-based performance and model prediction errors grounded in an error taxonomy that can be used to drive future research efforts.
This paper introduces our neural machine translation systems' participation in the WAT 2021 shared translation tasks (team ID: sakura). We participated in the (i) NICT-SAP, (ii) Japanese-English multimodal translation, (iii) Multilingual Indic, and (
iv) Myanmar-English translation tasks. Multilingual approaches such as mBART (Liu et al., 2020) are capable of pre-training a complete, multilingual sequence-to-sequence model through denoising objectives, making it a great starting point for building multilingual translation systems. Our main focus in this work is to investigate the effectiveness of multilingual finetuning on such a multilingual language model on various translation tasks, including low-resource, multimodal, and mixed-domain translation. We further explore a multimodal approach based on universal visual representation (Zhang et al., 2019) and compare its performance against a unimodal approach based on mBART alone.
This study aimed to identify the relationship between job satisfaction and marketing performance in the Syrian Railways Establishment in Lattakia. By identifying the impact of each the functional upgrade, working hours (work program), work content, a
nd work environment. The researcher relied on the Deductive Approach as a general method. He follows a survey methodology, and he gave a questionnaire to 290 people of the staff of the institution, He also made a field study to show this relationship, The main result of the study was that there an existence of an acceptable positive correlation between job satisfaction and marketing performance through upgrade, work program, content and work environment, And we provided a summary of the main result that have found out is that the most important role of job satisfaction in improving marketing performance, With the presentation of some of the proposals and recommendations The need for the institution to increase its interest in the satisfaction of the functional factor, through achieving in obtaining promotion and providing material and moral incentives through programs of work and providing independence in work, because it will increase the efficiency and effectiveness in the performance of the institution and achieve profitability, and improve the volume of sales, and enhance the loyalty of its employees.
The aim of the research is to identify the effectiveness of an teaching
program based on the model of generative learning in development of
educational achievement of students in the third grade in Damascos. The
research was based on the experimen
tal method, where the five-lesson
teaching program was applied to a sample of third-grade students in science.
And the application of a study achievement test of twenty questions in the
science. The number of the sample of the research(70) students and students,
divided into two groups, an experimental group consisting of(35) students
and students, from the school Samh bin Malek learned according to the
model of generative learning and the birth of a group of(35) students and
students from the school of Mohammad Alashmar learned according to the
followed methods.
The research aims to study the effectiveness of an educational program based on the
entertaining mathematics activities and its effect on improving mathematics achievement
in sample of 60 pupils, divided into two groups: experimental and control gr
oups.

list, a training program about skills of designing electronic exams by QuizCreator, and a
questionnaire, the results were the following:
(1) The effectiveness of the training program, where the teachers got higher degrees
in the post performance test.
(2) The preeminence of teachers who their experience is less than 5 years over other
teachers in the sample in the post test, and their opinions were more positive about the
program.
(3) The preeminence of college graduated teachers over those of institutes in the
pre-performance test, and their opinions were more positive about the program.
This research aims to identify the relationship of the institutional
culture efficient and effective administrative reform process in the
public sector institutions. Where it was introduced the concept of
institutional culture and the concept of a
dministrative reform of the
efficiency and effectiveness angle, and then we dealt with the
reflection of these concepts on the ground in a number of the Syrian
public institutions.The main results of this research is the existence
of a relationship between corporate culture and the effectiveness
and efficiency of the administrative reform. Also shows a
difference between the averages of the opinions of the respondents
about the institutional culture in their impact on the effectiveness of
the administrative reform, while there are no significant differences
between the averages of the opinions of individual differences
sample about institutional culture in their impact on the efficiency
of the administrative reform.

The purpose of this study was to know the impact of material
incentives in achieving of organizational effectiveness through
the adoption of indicators of job satisfaction and organizational
loyalty. We used the statistical program (spssv20) for
hypotheses testing and analyze of the results of the study
sample, which consists of 120 employees in the Commercial
Bank of Syria, public administration.
This research aimed to know how we can evaluate the effectiveness of advertising
campaigns in general, then it focused on the most important models; that are used in
evaluating this effectiveness depending on consumer’s behavioral response.
The ap
plication has been applied on the advertising campaign about the energy label
in the Syrian television. The questionnaire was designed according to AIDA model; that is
used in evaluating advertising effectiveness, and The survey has been done toward the
consumers responses; by using a random sample consisted of 387 consumer in lattakia city.
The research results were:
1- the advertising campaign achieved the effectiveness in attracting consumer’s
attention to it, and in triggering consumer’s interest to its subject.
2- the advertising campaign did not achieve the effectiveness in creating consumer’s
desire to buy, and in leading consumer toward action for actual buying ( or thinking to buy
in the future ) the electrical appliances according to energy label standard.
The research suggested a number of recommendations, that if they are applied, they
may be helping in improve the effectiveness of advertising campaigns in the future about
energy label subject, or about the similar subjects.
