However most of learning applications are built without taking into consideration the effective needs and background of Arab users. They are somehow incompatible with their local environment and culture. We propose in this paper a mobile-based educational system that displays illustrations automatically to characterize the content of children’ stories on animal domain, and we use some intelligent technique to answer users’ questions using an educational ontology. The generation of illustrations passes through different phases which include text processing, extraction of word-to-word relationships, building and accessing an ontology, and using Internet search engines for retrieval of complimentary information. The system can be used also by instructors to teach the children in a non-conventional manner. They can customize semantically the structure of the questions and determine how the answers will be displayed. In order to customize questions and answers, we have defined a semantic infrastructure to define the logic of terms, and the workflow of answers. The aim of our system is to improve the children educational skills to grasp vocabulary and grammar using multimedia with a portable smart device which includes observation, comprehension, realization, and deduction. Children will then be able to continue learning outside the limited time of their schools and from any location.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Perumal , Sundresan Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022-05-10 Description An account of the resource In both wireless and mobile ad hoc networks, assaults can come from a variety of different sources. The terms "active attack" and "passive attack" describe these two types of attacks. In the network community, the Sybil attack is one of the most often used and deployed techniques for sniffing identities and repurposing them. Multiple identities or Sybil attacks have recently sparked a lot of interest in the research community. The algorithms and networks on which they are tested are vastly different among the many methods that have been offered. Since researchers can't evaluate these systems side by side or test their efficacy on real-world social networks with a variety of structural features, it's difficult to say whether there are any other (perhaps more efficient) methods of Sybil protection. In the event of a Sybil attack, the gatecrasher subverts the system framework's notoriety arrangement by creating a large number of pseudonymous individuals and then using them to add an enormously imbalanced influence. Three factors determine a notoriety framework's susceptibility to a Sybil attack: how quickly personalities can be generated, how much the notoriety framework accepts inputs from substances that lack a chain of trust, and if the notoriety framework handles all components equally. A large-scale Sybil ambush in Bittorrent Mainline may be accomplished in a cheap and effective manner, according to confirmation. A substance on a distributed system is a piece of software that has access to the resources of the local community. By displaying a character, a distributed system element reveals itself to the world. A single chemical can have an impact on more than one character. Numerous characters can be assigned to a single element. The personalities of substances in shared systems are used for the objectives of repetition, asset transfer, reliability, and trustworthiness, among other reasons. For remote elements to be aware of characters without necessarily being aware of the personality-to-neighborhood correlation, distributed systems make use of the character as a decision. Each different identification is normally considered to be associated with a separate local entity by convention. A single local entity may have several identities in actuality. In order to avoid and identify Sybil assaults, an empirical technique is used in this study. According to the base paper, any nodes with RSS greater than the provided threshold are regarded to be attackers under the present approach. A centralized way to monitor the mobile nodes is required to prevent this assault. As the server agent assumes full control of the ad-hoc network, malevolent nodes or selfish nodes are fully eliminated from the system.

The transfer of data between the individual nodes is found to be energy-constrained and the energy-efficient protocol in WSNs is a huge requirement. In addition, the deployment of large numbers of sensor nodes increases the size of the network, which in turn increases the energy consumption rate. An efficient protocol is developed in this research that includes grid-based mobile communication network formation, efficient path selection through cluster head selection and data communication. In addition, multi-stage authentication is implemented to provide security from source node to destination node for the transfer of data. Implementation is performed via NS2-based platform and the result obtained shows that the proposed system outperforms other existing techniques in terms of packet delivery and use of energy through network lifetime.

This study also focuses on exploring new factors appropriate to the Jordanian environment that can shape people's behavior towards adopting this smart service. Partial least square was performed to test the research model using 500 valid surveys. All constructs in this study were significant and accounted for 47.1% of the variance of continuance intention to use the Careem application. Careem user experience, E-word of mouth, financial benefits, and perceived platform quality are found strongest predictors toward intention to use at level (0.001). Two predictors were at level (0.01) including perceived enjoyment and perceived innovativeness. The findings also indicate that family confidence and women empowerment are the weakest effects at level (0.05). This article provides important information for future researchers in the field of technology acceptance, and more specifically in the field of mobile phone applications in terms of adding new variables that contribute to understanding users' intention to continue using technology. Some of the implications this study provides for designers and developers of mobile applications and institutions related to transport when providing mobile application services.

Obeidat, Zaid Mohammad Al-dweeri, Rami Mohammad Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-02-10 Description An account of the resource There are several reasons why most of the universities implement E-learning. The extent of E-learning programs is being offered by the higher educational institutes in the UAE are evidently expanding. However, very few studies have been carried out to validate the process of how E-learning is being accepted and employed by university students. The study involved a sample of 365 university students. To describe the acceptance process, the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method was used. On the basis of the technology acceptance model (TAM), the standard structural model that involved E-learning Computer Self-Efficacy, Social Influence, Enjoyment, System Interactivity, Computer Anxiety, Technical support, Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Attitude, and Behavioral Intention to Use e-learning, was developed. The findings showed that TAM served as a suitable theoretical tool to comprehend the acceptance of e-learning by users. The most critical construct to explain the causal process employed in the model was E-learning Computer Self-Efficacy, Social Influence, Enjoyment, System Interactivity, Computer Anxiety, Technical support, Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Attitude, followed by Behavioral Intention to Use e-learning. Practical implications are offered by the outcomes for decision makers, professionals and developers in how effective E-learning systems can be implemented properly.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Brown, Karl Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022-05-24 Description An account of the resource In order to provide secure communication between mobile nodes in a hostile environment, security has become a top priority. There are a variety of nontrivial difficulties to security design in mobile ad hoc networks because of its unique properties, such as open peer to peer network architecture and shared wireless medium. Building multi-layered security systems that provide broad coverage while still delivering optimal network performance makes perfect sense in light of these problems. Specifically, in this study, we address the basic issue of maintaining the multi-hop network connectivity between mobile nodes in a Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET). There are a number of security concerns that need to be addressed in order to safeguard the multihop wireless channel's MANET connection and network layer activities when delivering packets. We go through these difficulties and possible solutions in this paper. Complete security solutions should cover both layers and include the prevention, detection and response aspects of the three components of the security system. Providing secure communication between mobile nodes in a hostile environment has become a top priority. For example, the open peer-to-peer architecture, shared wireless medium, resource limits, and high dynamic network topology of mobile ad hoc networks provide a variety of nontrivial security design difficulties. The work integrates the effectual approach with the integrity and performance aware implementation for the Mobile Adhoc Networks.

The concept of the expert system of the application program so important that it requires to be shared to other people by developing a course program called expert system conducted in particular by an institution which specialized in the field of information technology. This course program of expert system which is offered to the students need to be designed in terms of good instructional process to improve its effectiveness. In fact, not all existing course programs conducted based on expert system could run more effectively than it was expected in order to achieve higher quality of learning outcomes. This could be explained as a numerous problems occurred during the process of implementation. In order to discover the extend of program effectivity in the expert system of the course, a through program evaluation is required to be conducted. One model called CSE-UCLA will be recommended in making deeper instructional program evaluation in relation to expert system of course program. Through this model the instructional affectivity of application program of expert system could be measured by involving system assessment, program planning, program implementation, program improvement, and program certification.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Raney, Tracey Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006-12-01 Description An account of the resource This paper is about the ways that citizens perceive their place in the political world around them, through their political identities. Using a combination of comparative and quantitative methodologies, the study traces the pattern of citizens’ political identifications in the European Union and Canada between 1981 and 2003 and explains the mechanisms that shape these political identifications. The results of the paper show that in the EU and Canada identity formation is a process that involves the participation of both individuals and political institutions yet between the two, individuals play a greater role in identity construction than do political institutions. The paper argues that the main agents of political identification in the EU and Canada are citizens themselves: individuals choose their own political identifications, rather than acquiring identities that are pre-determined by historical or cultural precedence. The paper makes the case that this phenomenon is characteristic of a rise of ‘civic’ identities in the EU and Canada. In the European Union, this overarching ‘civic’ identity is in its infancy compared to Canada, yet, both reveal a new form of political identification when compared to the historical and enduring forms of cultural identities firmly entrenched in Europe. The rise of civic identities in both the EU and Canada is attributed to the active role that citizens play in their own identity constructions as they base their identifications on rational assessments of how well political institutions function, and whether their memberships in the community will benefit them, rather than on emotional factors rooted in religion or race. In the absence of strongly held emotional identifications, in the EU and Canada political institutions play a passive role in identity construction by making the community appear more entitative to its citizens. These findings offer new theoretical scope to the concept of civic communities and the political identities that underpin them. The most important finding presented in the paper is that although civic communities and identities are manufactured by institutions and political elites (politicians and bureaucrats), they require thinking citizens, not feeling ones, to be sustained.   Full text available at: https://doi.org/10.22215/rera.v2i4.179 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context https://ojs.library.carleton.ca/index.php/CJERS/article/view/2426 10.22215/cjers.v2i4.2426 Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Centre for European Studies, Carleton University Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Canadian Journal of European and Russian Studies; 2006: RERA V2:4 European Identities and Minorities (backfile abstracts) 2562-8429 10.22215/cjers.v2i4 Title A name given to the resource An Ever Further Apart Union?
