Evaluation of the 25 January Revolution from the Perspective of Change Management

Although Many people broadly believed that Egyptians were no longer able to rebel or even protest and that Egyptian youth was completely absentminded to stay away from the worries of their country and everything related to mind and politics, the youth of Egypt has undeniably made one of the most significant Egyptian uprisings after 30 years of deadlock and frustration. The 25 January Revolution publically unveiled the regime's political and economic corruption and guided the people to protest peacefully against a regime that marginalized, ignored and tried intentionally by all means to underestimate their magnificent potential values. Finally, Egyptians made use of their new communication media (social communication tools) to lead a democratic transformation process of a real change that can eventually fulfill a political, economic and social reform for bread, freedom and social justice

Errors Analysis of Solving Linear Inequalities among the Preparatory Year Students at King Saud University.

The purpose of This study aims to investigate the errors classes occurred by the Preparatory year students at King Saud University, through analysis student responses to the items of the study test, and to identify the varieties of the common errors and ratios of common errors that occurred in solving inequalities. In the collection of the data, the researcher employed the open-ended questions test consisted of nine items distributive on three types of inequalities (linear, involve absolute value and fractional). In the data analysis, descriptive analysis method was used. The result sho­wed that some students had some misconceptions and misunderstanding in solving types of inequalities. The greatest common errors ratio was (20%) in solving linear inequality come from the class “Errors in basic algebraic operations and deletion. But the ratio (22%) were the greatest common errors ratio in solving fractional and involving absolute value inequalities come from the class errors in absent meaning of inequality.

Arabic text classification methods: Systematic literature review of primary studies

Recent research on Big Data proposed and evaluated a number of advanced techniques to gain meaningful information from the complex and large volume of data available on the World Wide Web. To achieve accurate text analysis, a process is usually initiated with a Text Classification (TC) method. Reviewing the very recent literature in this area shows that most studies are focused on English (and other scripts) while attempts on classifying Arabic texts remain relatively very limited. Hence, we intend to contribute the first Systematic Literature Review (SLR) utilizing a search protocol strictly to summarize key characteristics of the different TC techniques and methods used to classify Arabic text, this work also aims to identify and share a scientific evidence of the gap in current literature to help suggesting areas for further research. Our SLR explicitly investigates empirical evidence as a decision factor to include studies, then conclude which classifier produced more accurate results. Further, our findings identify the lack of standardized corpuses for Arabic text; authors compile their own, and most of the work is focused on Modern Arabic with very little done on Colloquial Arabic despite its wide use in Social Media Networks such as Twitter. In total, 1464 papers were surveyed from which 48 primary studies were included and analyzed

Comparative study between dynamic hip screw and plate with proximal femoral nailing in trochanteric fractures of femur

Background: Incidence of intertrochanteric fractures has increased significantly during recent years and it will probably continue to rise in near future due to increased longevity of life. Closed methods of treatment for intertrochanteric fractures have increased mortality rates & have largely been abandoned. Rigid internal fixation and early mobilization has been the standard protocol of treatment nowadays. This study was intended to compare the results of Intertrochanteric fractures treated by dynamic hip screw (DHS) over proximal femoral nailing (PFN).Methods: This is a randomized prospective study of 102 cases of intertrochanteric fractures, admitted to Mysore Medical College & Hospital, Mysore and ESIC medical college and hospital Kalaburagi and Kamareddy Ortho & Trauma care Hospital Kalaburagi; treated with proximal femoral nailing and DHS. The patients were divided randomly into two groups, each of 51 patients, 51 were treated by Dynamic Hip Screw & 51 were treated with proximal femoral nail (PFN).All patients were followed up for one year.Results: In our series of 102 patients of Intertrochanteric fractures, 51 were treated with sliding hip screw with plate and 51 were treated by an intra-medullary hip screw. Most of the patients were between 51 to 80 years. Slip and trivial fall accounted for 70% cases. Right side was more common accounted for 58.34% of cases. Conclusions: From our study, we consider PFN as better alternative to DHS in more unstable fractures with technically difficulty and require more experience. Sliding hip screw remains the implant of choice for stable type fractures. We noticed less operative time, less blood loss, fewer intra-op complications in PFN group. The quality of the reduction achieved & proper positioning of the implant are important to achieve the best post-operative outcome

Web browser artefacts in private and portable modes: a forensic investigation

Web browsers are essential tools for accessing the internet. Extra complexities are added to forensic investigations when recovering browsing artefacts as portable and private browsing are now common and available in popular web browsers. Browsers claim that whilst operating in private mode, no data is stored on the system. This paper investigates whether the claims of web browsers discretion are true by analysing the remnants of browsing left by the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera when used in a private browsing session, as a portable browser, and when the former is running in private mode. Some of our key findings show how forensic analysis of the file system recovers evidence from IE while running in private mode whereas other browsers seem to maintain better user privacy. We analyse volatile memory and demonstrate how physical memory by means of dump files, hibernate and page files are the key areas where evidence from all browsers will still be recoverable despite their mode or location they run from

Low phase noise performance of VCO using MEMS

The paper presents a monolithic voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) prototype designed with micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) devices. It achieves the stringent performance requirements of various wireless communication applications such as GSM cellular telephony. The VCO meets the low phase noise requirement of -136 dBc/Hz at large offset frequency (3 MHz) over the appropriate frequency range. A model for the simulation of the monolithic VCO is proposed. A suitable topology for the model is the Colpitts oscillator. It is relatively less complicated, which facilitates the practical integration of the LC components. The main components in the configuration are the MEMS variable capacitor and monolithic 3-D coil inductor. These components are suitable for low phase-noise and low power consumption at the application frequencies

Using MEMS in class D amplifiers for standard GSM carrier

The equivalent circuit of MEMS capacitive switches can be used to analyze a class D power amplifier, operated by a power supply of 3.7V. The system is intended for GSM audio frequency to produce an output power of (0.5-1.0) mW at a load output impedance of (8-10) Q. The system gain must be greater than 33 dBm and the estimated loss (0.5-1) dB. A model for the power amplifier using MEMS passive devices has been developed. The model helps to determine the design parameters that affect the performance and reliability of the system that operate an RF transceiver. The optimization of the amplifier and the MEMS capacitor switching devices and how to integrate the system, will also be discussed. The design and the equivalent circuit were simulated using a PSpice model

BH-centroids: A New Efficient Clustering Algorithm

The k-means algorithm is one of most widely used method for discovering clusters in data; however one of the main disadvantages to k-means is the fact that you must specify the number of clusters as an input to the algorithm. In this paper we present an improved algorithm for discovering clusters in data by first determining the number of clusters k, allocate the initial centroids, and then clustering data points by assign each data point to one centroid. We use the idea of Gravity, by assuming each data point in the cluster has a gravity that attract the other closest points, this leads each point to move toward the nearest higher gravity toward the nearest higher gravity point to have at the end one point for each cluster, which represent the centroid of that cluster. The measure of gravity of point (X) determined by its weight, which represent the number of points that use point X as the nearest point. Our algorithm employ a distance metric based (eg, Euclidean) similarity measure in order to determine the nearest or the similar point for each point. We conduct an experimental study with real-world as well as synthetic data sets to demonstrate the effectiveness of our techniques

Angular Momentum Partitioning and Hexacontatetrapole Moments in Impulsively Excited Argon Ions

We have studied polarized electron collisions with Ar in which the target is simultaneously ionized and excited to form Ar+(3p4(1D)4p) states. We measured the integrated Stokes parameters of the subsequent fluorescence emitted by the 2F7/2, 2F5/2, 2D5/2, and 2P3/2 states along the direction of electron polarization. The Rubin-Bederson hypothesis is shown to hold for the L and S multipoles of these states. The electric quadrupole and hexadecapole of the 1D core are derived. By recoupling these moments with the electric quadrupole moment of the 4p electron, we calculate higher moments of the total ionic orbital angular momentum, including its hexacontatetrapole (64-pole) moment

‘The language is disgusting and they refer to my disability’: the cyberharassment of disabled people

Disabled people face hostility and harassment in their sociocultural environment. The use of electronic-communications creates an online context that further reshape this discrimination. We explored the experiences of 19 disabled victims of cyberharassment. Five themes emerged from the study: disability and health consequences, family involvement, misrepresentation of self, perceived complexity, and lack of awareness and expertise. Cyberharassment incidents against disabled people were influenced by the pre-existing impairment, perceived hate-targeting, and perpetrators faking disability to get closer to victims online. Our findings highlight a growing issue requiring action and proper support
