Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram $PQRS$ are given by $\vec{PQ} = \hat{i} + \hat{k}$ and $\vec{PS} = \hat{i} - \hat{j}$. If the side $PS$ is rotated about the point $P$ by an acute angle $\alpha$ in the plane of the parallelogram so that it becomes perpendicular to the side $PQ$, then $\sin^2(\frac{5\alpha}{2}) - \sin^2(\frac{\alpha}{2})$ is equal to:
