Role of higher education in peace-building and strengthening national institutions
Socrates believes that goodness and truth, positive essences and pure ethical and moral instincts are placed there divinely in the soul. However, they are not brought to consciousness unless they are awakened or learned. Therefore, consensus on the important things in life is just below the surface waiting to be acknowledged. It is the destiny of mankind to seek out virtue such as courage and self-control, or propriety over the desires of ambitions or emotions that cloud the quest for truth. The concept of ignorance is what stands in the way of consensus, and that once one realizes that he does not know, a change in any disagreement can occur. (www.san.beck.org).Peer Reviewe
Towards Effective Co-creation of Value: Case Study of a Public University of Pakistan
This study examines the co-creation between a public university and industry and the building blocks that shape co-creation in the context of Pakistan. A conceptual framework has been developed based on the perspective of Service Dominant Logic, which connotes that value is created from the integration of resources through interactions between co-creating partners. The aim of this study is to elucidate the types of resources used for integration by employing different modes of interactions for value creation sought by the university and industry. For this purpose, a case study based on the co-creation between the Centre of Excellence for Molecular Biology (CEMB) at University of the Punjab and Four Brothers (Pvt) Ltd is conducted, to develop Transgenic Cotton technology, which was first of its kind in Pakistan. Qualitative data was obtained through semi-structured interviews from a sample of 13 respondents. Thematic analysis was used after transcribing and importing data to NVivo 12 plus. The study revealed the type of resources, interactions and value or outcome sought that characterized the successful co-creation. It also highlights the challenges faced during the collaborative project. Finally, the recommendations are proposed for the enhancement of co-creation within the context of industry and public university of Pakistan
Classification improvement of spoken arabic language based on radial basis function
The important task in the computer interaction is the languages recognition and classification. In the Arab world, there is a persistent need for the Arabic spoken language recognition To help those who have lost the upper parties in doing what they want through speech computer interaction. While, the Arabic automatic speech recognition (AASR) did not receive the desired attention from the researchers. In this paper, the Radial Basis Function(RBF) is used for the improvement of the Arabic spoken language letter. The recognition and classification process are based on three steps; these are; preprocessing, feature extraction and classification (Recognition). The Arabic Language Letters (ALL) recognition is done by using the combination between the statistical features and the Temporal Radial Basis Function for different letter situation and noisy condition. The recognition percent are from 90% - 99.375% has been gained with independent speaker, where these results are over-perform the earlier works by nearly 2.045%. The simulati.on has been made by using Matlab 2015b
Performance Evaluation of a Forward Kinematic Hand Model
العديد من مجالات الحياة تستخدم الانسان الالي, وخاصية الانسان الالي متاتية من دقته. لذلك، تقدم هذه الورقة تقييم اداء ذراع الانسان وذلك من خلال الوقت المستغرق للوصول الى النقطة النهائية المطلوبة, وموقع نقطة الوصل المطلوبة ليد واحدة.
حيث ان الزمن المستغرغ للذراع للوصول الى الموقع المطلوب هو تقريبا (1.4614x10-4sec)، بينما للاصبع مضافا لليد هو تقريبا(0.00019sec.)، كذالك تم حساب نسة الخطا في الموقع او في عملية الوصول الى الموقع النهائي مع مختلف نسب الخطا (0.1-1NSRP)، وجد ان نسبة الخطا هي (0-.12mm) Many fields of life has been used a robot, the specialty of the robot is coming from its accuracy. Therefore, this paper has been presented the evaluation of the robots arm performance on the one hand of consuming time and required end-position. Where, The time consuming required for the hand to reach to the desired position is taken 1.4614x10-4sec., while for finger adding to the arm is taken 0.00019sec.. Also, the error position has been evaluated with different NSPR (0.1-1) ,where the error amount are 0-12mm
Survey of the Relationship between Fatty Liver Disease in Men by Ultrasound and Serum Ferritin Level
Introduction: The most common hepatic disease is fatty liver. Raised serum ferritin levels are often described as an indicator of liver function. The present study aimed to evaluate the correlation between fatty liver in men by ultrasound and serum ferritin levels in patients referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Jiroft in 2020.
Materials and Methods: In this case series study, there is both a descriptive and an analytical component. The study population consisted of all male patients with fatty liver. Patients were included in the study after being visited by a specialist and thus diagnoses their fatty liver were mades by ultrasound. After clinical examination and diagnosis of fatty liver, patients were prepared on a fasting basis for Paraclinical tests (serum levels of iron, and ferritin). After collecting data from patient surveys based on a researcher-made checklist, the data were entered into SPSS V23 (22).
Results: The mean age of patients was 46.8± 16.7. 27. There was a statistically significant correlation between ferritin level and disease severity based on the ultrasound view (P-value = 0.000). Also, there was a significant correlation between serum iron level and disease severity based on the ultrasound view (P-value = 0.005).
Conclusion: The present study findings indicate a correlation between the severity of fatty liver disease and the level of serum ferritin and iron. Therefore, we need to pay special attention to the level of these indicators in patients with fatty liver
