Maziriri, Eugine Tafadzwa Mofoka, Tsepo Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-12-11 Description An account of the resource Small and medium enterprises – including those in the business consultancy industry – are strategic for the development of the South African economy and for developing marginalised economies through employment creation and income generation. However, the existence of small and medium business consultancy firms is threatened by competitive pressure of multinational consulting firms such as the PricewaterhouseCoopers, McKinsey and KPMG [8]. Small and medium business consultancy firms need to adopt innovative strategies for survival. Appropriate use of social media strategies is one strategy that can be adopted by small and medium business enterprises to influence brand awareness and brand loyalty and to build a competitive edge. An inability to use social media as a business strategy results in poor brand awareness, a decrease in sales, and business closure. It is against this background that this study aimed to assess customers’ perceptions of social media strategies employed by the small and medium business consultancy firm, investigate the relationship between social media strategies and brand awareness, and evaluate the relationship between brand awareness. A quantitative descriptive research methodology, using a structured questionnaire was employed to collect data from a sample of 231 customers at the business consultancy. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25 was employed to conduct descriptive and multivariate analysis, including mean, standard deviation, correlation and regression analysis. Findings indicated that customers had negative perceptions of social media strategies employed by the small and medium business consultancy firm. It was also found that social media strategies had a statistically significant positive relationship with brand awareness and brand acceptance. The research findings hold major implications for theory and practice.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Almotairy, Bodor Moheel Abdullah, Manal Abbasi, Rabeeh Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-06-30 Description An account of the resource Abstract— Social media are widely used as communication platforms in the world of business. Twitter, in particular, offers valuable opportunities for collaboration due to its open nature. For that, many entrepreneurs employ Twitter for different reasons, such as mobilizing financial resources, get funding, and increase their innovation capabilities. Therefore, they keep looking for local entrepreneurial accounts to help them. Messages from entrepreneurial influencers -opinion leader- increase the information diffusion to entrepreneurs, helping them to find more opportunities. Discovering the characteristics of entrepreneurial influencers in Twitter networks becomes extremely important since it reflects the way to reach entrepreneurs. In the present paper, we propose a novel framework called ECharacterize based on feature selections techniques to discover the characteristics of the entrepreneurial influencer in the Saudi context in a robust manner. The framework extracts abundant influencers’ features and then employs seven state-of-the-art ranking methods to determine the characteristics of the most relevant influencer. It robustly aggregates the lists to come out with the accurate final list using Robust Rank Aggregation. The framework examined on 233,018 real-life Arabic tweets. The results show the ability of the proposed method to distinguish between the influencers by their popularity, reliability and activity level.    Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource application/pdf Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context https://online-journals.org/index.php/i-jim/article/view/14807 10.3991/ijim.v14i10.14807 Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE), Vienna, Austria Relation A related resource https://online-journals.org/index.php/i-jim/article/view/14807/7357 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright (c) 2020 Bodor Moheel Almotairy, Manal Abdullah, Rabeeh Abbasi Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM); Vol. 14 No. 10 (2020); pp. 74-89 1865-7923 Subject The topic of the resource Twitter characteristics of influencers entrepreneurial influencers robust ranked list.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Althabiti, Mashail Shaeel Abdullah, Manal Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-06-30 Description An account of the resource Data stream is the huge amount of data generated in various fields, including financial processes, social media activities, Internet of Things applications, and many others. Such data cannot be processed through traditional data mining algorithms due to several constraints, including limited memory, data speed, and dynamic environment. Concept Drift is known as the main constraint of data stream mining, mainly in the classification task. It refers to the change in the data stream underlining distribution over time. Thus, it results in accuracy deterioration of classification models and wrong predictions. Spam emails, consumer behavior changes, and adversary activates, are examples of Concept Drift. In this paper, a Concept Drift detection model is introduced, Concept Drift Detection Model (CDDM). It monitors the accuracy of the classification model over a sliding window, assuming the decline in accuracy indicates a drift occurrence. A modification over CDDM is a weighted version of the CDDM as W-CDDM.Both models have evaluated against two real datasets and four artificial datasets. The experimental results of abrupt drift show that CDDM, W-CDDM outperforms the other models in the dataset of 100K and 1M instances, respectively. Regarding gradual drift, the W-CDDM overtook the rest in terms of accuracy, run time, and detection delays in the dataset of 100 K instances. While in the dataset of 1M instances, CDDM has got the highest accuracy using the NB classifier. Moreover, W-CDDM achieves the highest accuracy on real datasets.

Kamrul Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-08-28 Description An account of the resource Although extensive research has been carried out to investigate EFL learners’ readiness of using smartphone and problems in EFL contexts, there remains a scarcity of evidence on EFL learners’ readiness of using smartphone and problems for learning oral English communication skills at tertiary level in EFL context, especially in Bangladesh. The present study was conducted to explore Bangladeshi tertiary level learners’ readiness of using smartphone and problems for learning oral English communication skills. This study employed a mixed-method design, using a survey questionnaire and semi-structured interview as data collection instruments. The participants of this study were sixty-one learners (35 females and 26 males) who were studying at the department of English of a university. The findings from the questionnaire illustrated that EFL learners’ level of readiness of using a smartphone was high and the frequent problems they faced were authentic materials, audio-video aids, oral practice environment, large size class and existing teaching method. Similarly, the findings of semi-structured interview emerged three themes regarding EFL learners’ readiness were availability, usability and positivity for the use of smartphone and four themes regarding EFL learners’ problems, such as psychological, linguistic, teachers’ efficacy and use of mother tongue and for learning oral English communication skills.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Al-Haj Bedar, Rana Al-Shboul, Muhannad Anwar Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-08-28 Description An account of the resource The growing demand for combining digital technology with learning practices has surpassed the use of technology or learning how to use it into the process of enhancing learners’ intellectual levels and scaffolding their understanding by focusing on skills that include thought processes gathered in what is called computational thinking. On the other hand, educational challenges promote the search for new instructional tools and approaches. Consequently, learning shall be extended by superimposing science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) approach in the instructional practices. The aim of this paper is to show how STEAM approach can develop the computational thinking among high school learners in Jordan. The main skills of computational thinking included: algorithmic thinking, abstraction, decomposition, and generalization. The sample of this study involved 32 high school students in a private school in Amman. The experimental group studied geography skills in a STEAM approach that included the use of online resources such as LightBot maze and the Ordnance Survey maps (OS) website. The control group studied the same content but through conventional method. Findings showed a significant development in the computational thinking especially in algorithmic thinking and abstraction. Thus a STEAM approach learning environment is one of the effective methods of teaching that improved computational thinking.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-06-30 Description An account of the resource In computer networks based on the principle of packet switching, the important transmitting function is to maintain packet queues and suppress congestion. Therefore, the problems of optimal control of the communication networks are relevant. For example, there are  users, and no more than a demand of one user can be served simultaneously. This paper considers a discrete dynamical system with two contours and two common points of the contours called the nodes. There are n cells and  particles, located in the cells. At any discrete moment the particles of each contour occupy neighboring cells and form a cluster. The nodes divide each contour into two parts of length  and  (non-symmetrical system). The particles move in accordance with rule of the elementary cellular automaton 240 in the Wolfram classification. Delays in the particle movement are due to that more than one particle cannot move through the node simultaneously. A competition (conflict) occurs when two clusters come to the same node simultaneously. We have proved that the spectrum of velocities contains no more than two values for any fixed n , d and l.  We have found an optimal rule which minimizes the average velocity of clusters. One of the competition clusters passes through the node first in accordance with a given competition rule. Two competition resolutions rules are introduced. The rules are called input priority and output priority resolution rules. These rules are Markovian, i.e., they takes into account only the present state of the system.  For each set of parameters n, d and l, one of these two rules is optimal, i.e., this rule maximizes the average velocity of clusters. These rules are compared with the left-priority resolution rule, which was considered earlier.  We have proved that the spectrum of velocities contains no more two values for any fixed n, l, and d. We have proved that the input priority rule is optimal if , and the output priority rule is optimal if   .

Building alternative and ecologically validated screening tests are challenging. This pilot project attempts a) to assess the effectiveness of a culturally oriented computerized screening test for major neurocognitive disorder (eHAST) b) to compare it with the Greek version of the UCSF Brain Health Assessment (BHA) which is culturally neutral. Our study focused in a) evaluation of eHAST’s discriminant ability between groups of older adults with cognitive concerns (OACC) (n=35) vs older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) (n=114) and dementia (n=67), and MCI vs dementia in a sample of 216 cases. b) comparison of eHAST’s discriminant ability vs BHA’s in 116 subjects.   The absence of normative data for both of the tests led to balance the sample regarding age and educational level for the comparisons between groups of OACC vs MCI (n = 56) and MCI vs dementia cases (n = 60). All participants were neuropsychologically assessed, clinically diagnosed. Results showed a) Reliability check (Cronbach's alpha) of eHAST was 0.9 and discriminant analyses in separating groups of OACC vs MCI displayed a correct classification rate of 77.3%, for MCI vs dementia 80.6% and OACC vs dementia 89.1% (cross-validated). b) In OACC vs MCI comparison, BHA’s discriminant ability was 67.3% and eHAST’s was 60.7%. In MCI vs dementia comparison, BHA’s discriminant ability was 77.2% and eHAST’s was 76.7% (cross-validated). These preliminary results of the implementation of eHAST are encouraging as the test presents sufficient discriminant ability between groups of OACC-MCI, MCI-Dementia & OACC- Dementia. Also, performs similar scores to BHA, which is a state-of-the-art screening test. The use of a tablet pc in the assessment of cognitive disorders in the elderly can have a catalytic role in the detection of dementia.
