The Ability of Accounting Information Systems to support Profitability and Growth (Industrial Sector-Jordan Companies)

All organizations Seeking to achieve its strategic objectives in an effective and efficient in order to reach the main objective of any organization is profitability and growth and thus maximize the market value and increase the wealth of the owners and the various ways that can lead to improved performance and increase their profits under the age characterized by competition and technological development and knowledge to become data and information in the event they are used efficiently and effectively one of the most important assets of the company where the decision-making process using data and accurate information has become one of the most activities of the company importance and in order to reach sound decisions, whether operational or investment or financing short-or long-term than that would achieve the above mentioned objectives of the company. This study came to discuss the issue of financial growth and profitability in industrial companies contributes in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan using two indicators: return on equity, return on assets, as measures of the performance of companies on a regular basis. The two ratios were calculated each one according to mathematical equations that follow standards (FASB).The study found that the results were contrary to many previous studies in this framework, and therefore, the results of this study cannot be generalized, and therefore cannot say that the accounting information systems do not affect the performance of the companies, as the companies in Jordan continues to suffer from a lot of problems in the application of accounting systems. Key words: AIS Accounting Information System, ROA Return on Assets, ROE Return on Equity, FASB, Profitability, Growth, Industrial Sector.

Wind Flow Induced Vibrations of Tapered Masts

Structural dynamic analyses of elongated masts subjected to various wind speeds are presented in this work. The masts are modeled as vertically supported cantilever beams,with one end fixed to the ground, and the other end free. The external excitation forces acting of the masts are the results of vortex shedding represented by a sinusoidal time dependent functions. The frequencies of these sinusoidal functions are dictated by the Strouhal numbers associated of the flow regimes crossing over the masts. To enhance the vibratory behavior of a typical mast, under the influence of flow induced vibrations,three different mass distributions along the length of the mast were considered. The different mass distributions were achieved by tapering the mast along its length,allocating more of the mass at its fixed end, and gradually decreasing it toward its free end. Three different tapering angles were considered for these studies. All results were compared with the results obtained for a straight circular cross-section cylindrical mast having the same overall length and mass. For a mast length of 25 meters and a total mass of 1782.74 kg, three tapered angles of 0.229, 0.458 , and 0.596 degrees, were considered. These analyses show that the first natural frequencies of the tapered masts increases from that of the straight mast. The first natural frequency of the straight mass was determined to be 0.2845 Hrz. The corresponding first natural frequencies for the masts with tapered angle of 0.229, 0.458, and 0.596 became 0.417, 0.5911, and 0.7435Hrz. respectively. In addition to the natural frequency analyses, dynamic responses analyses of these masts were determined under the influence of the harmonic excitations resulting from the vortex shedding cause by the wind flow. For the tapered angles chosen in these studies the maximum displacement of the free ends of these masts were determined. For a wind speed of 10 m/s the free-end displacements of the tapered masts were determined to be (500, 1000, 1300)* 10⁻⁶ meter

Development of Artificial Intelligent Techniques for Manipulator Position Control

Inspired by works in soft computing this research applies the constituents of soft computing to act as the "brain" that controls the positioning process of a robot manipulator's tool. This work combines three methods in artificial intelligence: fuzzy rules, neural networks, and genetic algorithm to form the soft computing plant uniquely planned for a six degree-of-freedom serial manipulator. The forward kinematics of the manipulator is made as the feedforward control plant while the soft computing plant replaces the inverse kinematics in the feedback loop. Fine manipulator positioning is first achieved from the learning stage, and later execution through forward kinematics after the soft computing plant proposes inputs and the iterations. It is shown experimentally that the technique proposed is capable of producing results with very low errors. Experiment A for example resulted the position errors onpx: 0.004%;py: 0.006%; andpz: 0.002%

Using Worn Out Insole To Express Human Foot

The human foot is unique, which is evident in its print. The purpose of this work was to determine the foot's work volume given a footprint. Five volunteers participated in the study who supplied their used shoes. The insole images were processed to find the effective regions. The correct spots were identified and were marked. The drawn footprints looked similar geometrically; however, each footprint had a different node positions profile. The aspect ratio of the foot length, width, and height congregated to 3:1:1, and the footprint angle was 30 degrees. The actual plots revealed that the ranges of the foot length ratio and the footprint angle were 2.20 to 3.00, and 30 degrees to 45 degrees, respectively. Therefore, the human foot identity may be expressed by simple measurements of the foot height, the foot width, the foot height following the standardised node locations

Representing System by Gene Encoding

The chromosomes that belong to the parents store genetic information. The child inherits the information through uniquely selective procedures. Using the concept, this study proposes an approach to system representation using the process found in genetic information inheritance. A generic process flow to building the representation is shown in the form of ladder-like flow chart that has the starting point at the bottom. This forms the basis for gene encoding. Following this process flow, one can expect to represent a system which requires solutions from selective procedures. Therefore, the codes written may vary depending on how one models and interprets the representation

Image Semiotics in the Book "Our Arabic Language" for the Third Grade in Jordan: An Analytical Study using Human and Artificial Intelligence

This paper focuses on identifying the image semiotics in the textbook “Our Arabic Language” for the third grade in Jordan, employing both human intelligence and artificial intelligence. To achieve the study objectives, a content and semiotic analysis method was adopted using human and artificial intelligence. The study sample consisted of 20 images, which represents the entire study population within the Arabic language textbook for third-grade students. The most prominent results revealed a male bias in terms of the number of characters, functional roles, social roles, talents, and activities. There was a convergence between the semiotic analysis using human intelligence and semiotic analysis using artificial intelligence. The results also showed that there were differences in the results of the semiotic analysis between the use of artificial intelligence and the use of human intelligence. This is because the human analysis connects images with social context and other images, while the artificial intelligence deals with every image separately

Gender in “Our Arabic Language” Books for the First Three Grades in Jordan

This paper focuses on identifying the reality of gender in “our Arabic language” books for the first three grades in Jordan. To achieve the objective of the study, we made use of the descriptive analytical method. Also, we represented the study community in “our Arabic language” books for the first three grades in Jordan. In this study, various tools for analysis have been developed and verified. After the analysis has been verified, the results of the study show that the Committee for the writing of Arabic language books for the first three grades had majority of females. The authoring team and the review team were mostly male. It showed that the total number of repeated gender-related words (males) reached 922 and 70.87% in total. The gender gap (females) reached 379 (29.13%). The total number of gender-related images (males) was 250 (71.43%) based on the total number of photographs. Gender images (females) reached 100 and 28.57% of the total number of images. The total number of gender-related addresses (males) reached 8 by 16.67% of the total number of addresses. The gender-related titles were 2 and 4.17% of the total number of addresses, and 38 by 79.16% for the general addresses based on the total number of addresses. The analysis of gender roles showed that the occupations practiced by women are limited to 6 occupations, with the most prominent being a nurse and a teacher. The professions which were related to males are 20 professions, most notably pilot, fisherman, and farmer. It showed that creativity and innovation, health roles, heroism, courage, and ownership of property are limited to males without females. In regards to social roles, males can be seen as father, uncle, brother, grandfather and cousin, while the female can be seen as mother, grandmother, and aunt. The results showed a more male role than female roles

Enrolling of Modern Methods in the Field of Education Technology in Jordanian Schools "Evaluation Study"

The study aimed to identify the reality of employing modern methods in the field of educational technology in teaching in Jordanian schools from an evaluation point of view, The latest methods in the field of education technology to be used, the degree of availability of education in secondary schools in Jordanian schools, and the obstacles hindering the use of modern methods in the field of educational technology. Where a sample of secondary school teachers was employed in private schools in the capital Amman in the academic year 2017/2018. The results of the study showed that the degree of availability of technical developments in secondary schools for boys was generally low. The general arithmetic mean was 1.27, And the degree of use of technical advances in secondary schools for boys was low, the general arithmetic mean was 1.45, There are also high barriers that teachers see as preventing them from using the educational technology innovations in teaching. The general arithmetic average of the degree of difficulties is 2.66, The results of the study showed that the skill of teachers in the use of educational technology innovations was low, the mean was 1.31, The researcher recommends that the Ministry of Education have to  provide the various educational technology innovations in all schools and equip them with the possibilities that allow the employment of educational technology innovations properly

Student Teachers’ Perceptions of Their Development of 21st Century Competencies in Jordan

The purpose of the study was to examine Jordanian student teachers’ perceptions of whether their Teacher Education had prepared them for 21st-century competencies, and how well they applied these competencies to their classroom teaching. The study also identified best practices, major obstacles, and suggestions for achieving these competencies. The study was conducted in two universities in the South and three universities in the North of Jordan that offer teacher education programs. A mixed-methods approach was used for this study. The sample consisted of 457 Student teachers who completed a structured questionnaire with open-ended questions to assess 21st-century competencies. Quantitative data analysis relies on descriptive statistics and correlations, while qualitative data analysis relies on content analysis. Despite differences in competency, the student teachers achieved 21st-century competencies based on their self-assessment. Students’ perceptions of whether they succeed in implementing 21st-century competencies in their classrooms were documented in this study. The best-achieved competency was collaboration, and the least well-achieved competency was global connections. Answers to open-ended questions provided convincing evidence that courses involving collaborative and interactive learning, high quality, sufficient support, relevant 21st-century competencies, and integrating theory and practice can contribute significantly to the development of student teachers’ 21st-century competencies
