Signaling systems and the transcendental deduction.A. Ahmed - forthcoming - In T. Goldschmidt K. Pearce (ed.), Idealism: New Essays in Metaphysics.details
The paper offers a model of Kant's claim that unity of consciousness entails objectivity of experience. This claim has nothing especially to do with thought, language or the categories but is a general truth about arbitrary signaling systems of the sort modeled in the paper. In conclusion I draw some consequences for various forms of idealism.

Delays and diversity in the practice of local research ethics committees.A. H. Ahmed & K. G. Nicholson - 1996 - Journal of Medical Ethics 22 (5):263-266.details
OBJECTIVES: To compare the practices of local research ethics committees and the time they take to obtain ethical approval for a multi-centre study. DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of outcome of applications for a multi-centre study to local research ethics committees. SETTING: Thirty-six local research ethics committees covering 38 district health authorities in England. MAIN MEASURES: Response of chairmen and women, the time required to obtain approval, and questions asked in application forms. RESULTS: We received replies from all 36 chairmen contacted: (...) four (11%) granted their approval, and 32 (89%) required our proposal to be considered by their local research ethics committee. Three committees asked us to attend their meetings. The application was approved by all 36 local research ethics committees but the time to obtain ethical approval varied between six to 208 days. One third of the committees did not approve the project within three months, and three took longer than six months. There was considerable variation in the issues raised by local research ethics committees and none conformed exactly to the Royal College of Physicians' guidelines. CONCLUSION: Obtaining ethical approval for a multi-centre study is time-consuming. There is much diversity in the practice of local research ethics committees. Our data support the recommendation for a central or regional review body of multi-centre studies which will be acceptable to all local research ethics committees. (shrink)

Rigidity and Essentiality: Reply to Gomez-Torrente.A. Ahmed - 2009 - Mind 118 (469):121-133.details
Mario Gómez-Torrente (2006) says that whilst theoretical identifications (e.g. 'All lightning is electrical discharge') do not entail their own necessitations, they do entail the necessitation of a weaker statement. And he claims that this weaker entailment serves Kripke's purposes as well as the stronger one would have. I argue that this is false. Section 1 says what the weaker entailment is; section 2 says why it matters. Section 3 argues that the entailment identified at section 1 does not meet the (...) purpose identified at section 2. Section 4 rejects two possible objections. The aim is to illustrate (not establish) the general claim that those 'modal facts' that are not entirely speculative are quite useless. (shrink)

Green Human Resource Management Practices Among Palestinian Manufacturing Firms- An Exploratory Study.Samer Arqawi, Ahmed A. Zaid, Ayham A. M. Jaaron, Amal A. Al Hila, Mazen J. Al Shobaki & Samy S. Abu-Naser - 2019 - Journal of Resources Development and Management 59:1-8.details
Organizations are increasingly finding it challenging to balance economic and environmental performance particularly those that face competitive, regulatory and community pressure. With the increasing pressures for environmental sustainability, this calls for the new formulation of strategies by the manufacturers in order to minimize their products and services negative impact on the environment. Hence, Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) continues to be an important research agenda among the researchers. In Palestine, green issues are new and still developing. Constant study is needed (...) to fully understand and update information regarding this area. Objective: The aim of this paper is to explore the views and level of acceptance of GHRM practices among manufacturing firms in Palestine. Results: Through the use of e-mail survey, 121 responses were obtained to generate the results of the study. The result showed GHRM practices have been practiced to somewhat to a greater extent a firms in Palestine. Findings can be extended to study on the issues in further. Academicians and practitioners can apply this result to their research and business strategies on how to improve sustainable performance and to effectively implement GHRM practices. (shrink)

Islamic Governance, National Governance, and Bank Risk Management and Disclosure in MENA Countries.Hussein A. Abdou, Collins G. Ntim & Ahmed A. Elamer - 2020 - Business and Society 59 (5):914-955.details
We examine the relationships among religious governance, especially Islamic governance quality, national governance quality, and risk management and disclosure practices, and consequently ascertain whether NGQ has a moderating influence on the IGQ–RDPs nexus. Using one of the largest data sets relating to Islamic banks from 10 Middle East and North Africa countries from 2006 to 2013, our findings are threefold. First, we find that RDPs are higher in banks with higher IGQ. Second, we find that RDPs are higher in banks (...) from countries with higher NGQ. Finally, we find that NGQ has a moderating effect on the IGQ–RDPs nexus. Our findings are robust to alternative RDP measures and estimation techniques. These results imply that the quality of disclosure depends on the nature of the macro-social-level factors, such as religion that have remained largely unexplored in business and society research, and, therefore, have important implications for policy makers.

Tree-based machine learning algorithms in the Internet of Things environment for multivariate flood status prediction.Salama A. Mostafa, Bashar Ahmed Khalaf, Ahmed Mahmood Khudhur, Ali Noori Kareem & Firas Mohammed Aswad - 2021 - Journal of Intelligent Systems 31 (1):1-14.details
Floods are one of the most common natural disasters in the world that affect all aspects of life, including human beings, agriculture, industry, and education. Research for developing models of flood predictions has been ongoing for the past few years. These models are proposed and built-in proportion for risk reduction, policy proposition, loss of human lives, and property damages associated with floods. However, flood status prediction is a complex process and demands extensive analyses on the factors leading to the occurrence (...) of flooding. Consequently, this research proposes an Internet of Things-based flood status prediction model that is used to facilitate the prediction of the rivers flood situation. The IoT-FSP model applies the Internet of Things architecture to facilitate the flood data acquisition process and three machine learning algorithms, which are Decision Tree, Decision Jungle, and Random Forest, for the flood prediction process. The IoT-FSP model is implemented in MATLAB and Simulink as development platforms. The results show that the IoT-FSP model successfully performs the data acquisition and prediction tasks and achieves an average accuracy of 85.72% for the three-fold cross-validation results. The research finding shows that the DT scores the highest accuracy of 93.22%, precision of 92.85, and recall of 92.81 among the three ML algorithms. The ability of the ML algorithm to handle multivariate outputs of 13 different flood textual statuses provides the means of manifesting explainable artificial intelligence and enables the IoT-FSP model to act as an early warning and flood monitoring system.

Concept of defensive medicine and litigation among Sudanese doctors working in obstetrics and gynecology.AbdelAziem A. Ali, Moawia E. Hummeida, Yasir A. M. Elhassan, Wisal O. M. Nabag, Mohammed Ahmed A. Ahmed & Gamal K. Adam - 2016 - BMC Medical Ethics 17 (1):1-5.details
BackgroundObstetrics and gynaecology always has reputation for being a highly litigious. The field of obstetrics and gynaecology is surrounded by different circumstances that stimulate the doctors to practice defensive medicine.MethodsThis study was directed to assess the extent and the possible effect of defensive medicine phenomenon on medical decision making among different grades of obstetric and gynaecologic Sudanese doctors, and to determine any experience of medical litigations with respect to sources and factors associated with it.ResultsA total of 117 doctors were approached, (...) their distribution according to job description was as follow: consultants registrars and specialists. The majority 89.7 % had the impression that litigation against doctors are increasing and 27.6 % had a direct experience of litigation. In this study less than one half of the surveyed doctors knew the concept of defensive medicine and 71.8 % reported practicing one or another form of defensive medicine. The different sources of the litigations reported by the doctors included: maternal death, perinatal death, other {misdiagnosis, intra-uterine fetal death, uterine perforation, rupture uterus}, fetal distress, injury to viscera and shoulder dystocia. In this study the experience of medical litigation was significantly observed among those who worked in area of blame culture. In logistic regression model, there was no significant difference between those who knew the concept of defence medicine and those who didn't.ConclusionThere should be strategic plan to reduce the practice of defensive medicine and medical litigation against doctors.

Is There a Trade-Off Between Accrual-Based and Real Earnings Management Activities in the Presence of (fe) Male Auditors?Andrews Owusu, Alaa Mansour Zalata, Kamil Omoteso & Ahmed A. Elamer - 2022 - Journal of Business Ethics 175 (4):815-836.details
Prior research suggests that the presence of high-quality auditors constrains accrual-based earnings management, but it inadvertently leads to higher real activities manipulation. We investigate whether such trade-off exists between accrual-based and real earnings management activities in the presence of female or male auditors. We use a sample of UK firms for the period 2009 to 2016 and find that firms audited by female auditors do not resort to a higher-level real activities manipulation when their ability to engage in accruals management (...) is constrained. Overall, our results suggest that the benefits of hiring female auditors are overwhelmingly higher than the costs they might bring to the client firms. (shrink)

Attitudes towards information ethics: a view from Egypt.Omar E. M. Khalil & Ahmed A. S. Seleim - 2012 - Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society 10 (4):240-261.details
PurposeThe information technology related ethical issues will only increase in frequency and complexity with the increasing diffusion of IT in economies and societies. The purpose of this paper is to explore Egyptian students' attitudes towards the information ethics issues of privacy, access, property, and accuracy, and it evaluates the possible impact of a number of personal characteristics on such attitudes.Design/methodology/approachThis research utilized a cross‐sectional sample and data set to test five hypotheses. It adopted an instrument to collect the respondents' background (...) information and assess their attitudes towards the information ethics issues of privacy, property, accuracy, and access. Egyptian business students at Alexandria University were asked to participate in the survey. A total of 305 responses were collected and analyzed.FindingsThe analysis revealed that students are sensitive to the ethicality of information privacy, information accuracy, and information access. However, students are insensitive to the ethicality of property right. In addition, years of education have a main effect on students' attitudes towards property, and gender and age have an interaction effect on students' attitudes towards access.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of this research are based on a cross‐sectional data set collected from a sample of business students at a public university. Students, however, may make poor surrogates for business or IT professionals. Future similar research designs that employ large samples from Egyptian working professionals and students in other private and public universities are needed to verify the findings of this research.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that the investigated university as well as the other similar Egyptian universities should consider integrating ethics education into their curricula. Teaching information ethics, especially from an Islamic perspective, is expected to positively influence students' information ethical attitudes. The enforcement of the existing property right protection laws should also curb software piracy in the Egyptian market.Originality/valueIt is vital to expand the ethical research currently being performed in IT in order to help bridge the gap between behavior and IT. The findings of this research extend the understanding of students' attitudes towards the information ethics issues in Egyptian culture and contribute to the growing body of knowledge on global information ethics.

The suggested series results are discovered to quickly converge to an exact solution. The computation of three test problems of fractional-order with proportional delay partial differential equations was presented to confirm the validity and efficiency of suggested method. The system appears to be a very dependable, effective, and (...) powerful method for solving a variety of physical problems that arise in engineering and science. (shrink)
Corporate Accountability Towards Species Extinction Protection: Insights from Ecologically Forward-Thinking Companies.Lee Roberts, Monomita Nandy, Abeer Hassan, Suman Lodh & Ahmed A. Elamer - 2022 - Journal of Business Ethics 178 (3):571-595.details
This paper contributes to biodiversity and species extinction literature by examining the relationship between corporate accountability in terms of species protection and factors affecting such accountability from forward-thinking companies. We use triangulation of theories, namely deep ecology, legitimacy, and we introduce a new perspective to the stakeholder theory that considers species as a 'stakeholder'. Using Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood regression, we examine a sample of 200 Fortune Global companies over 3 years. Our results indicate significant positive relations between ecologically conscious companies (...) that are accountable for the protection of biodiversity and species extinction and external assurance, environmental performance, partnerships with socially responsible organizations and awards for sustainable activities. Our empirical results appear to be robust in controlling for possible endogeneities. Our findings contribute to the discussion on the concern of species loss and habitat destruction in the context of corporate accountability, especially in responding to the sixth mass extinction event and COVID-19 crisis. Our results can also guide the policymakers and stakeholders of the financial market in better decision making. (shrink)

The Nature of Work and Its Relation to the Type of Communication among Employees in Palestinian Universities - A Comparative Study between Al-Azhar and Al-Aqsa Universities.Ahmed M. A. FarajAllah, Suliman A. El Talla, Samy S. Abu-Naser & Mazen J. Al Shobaki - 2018 - International Journal of Academic Multidisciplinary Research (IJAMR) 2 (6):10-29.details
The study aimed to know the relationship between the nature of the work and the type of communication among the Employees in the Palestinian universities. A comparative study between Al-Azhar University and Al-Aqsa University. The researchers used the analytical descriptive method through a questionnaire that is randomly distributed among the employees of Al-Azhar and Al-Aqsa universities in Gaza Strip. The study was conducted on a sample of (176) administrative employees from the surveyed universities. The response rate was (85.79%). The study (...) reached a number of results, the most important of which is that there is a high degree of satisfaction with the nature of work prevailing in the Palestinian universities in Gaza Strip from the point of view of the administrative staff, where the percentage was (68.15%). There is an Mean level of communication from the point of view of administrative staff, with a percentage of (67.50%). There is a direct correlation between the nature of the work and the prevailing pattern of communication. There is an absence of differences between the sample according to the gender variable in their perception of the nature of work and the prevailing pattern of communication. There is an absence of differences in the perception of Employees nature of work and the pattern of communication prevailing depending on the variables (age, years of service, job level, and university). There are statistically significant differences between Al-Azhar University and Al-Aqsa University in favor of Al-Azhar University. The study reached a number of recommendations, the most important of which is that the interest of the management of the Palestinian universities in Gaza Strip in general, and Al-Aqsa and Al-Azhar Universities in particular should be provided with a good nature of work and communication. There is a need for continuing the management of universities to pay attention and continuous improvement of the performance of employees. There is an importance of solving the problems of Employees and giving them the opportunity to contribute to solving their own problems. Staff rotation should be used periodically and the need to strengthen the democratic leadership style and empower university Employees. (shrink)

Establishment of Dynamic Evolving Neural-Fuzzy Inference System Model for Natural Air Temperature Prediction.Suraj Kumar Bhagat, Tiyasha Tiyasha, Zainab Al-Khafaji, Patrick Laux, Ahmed A. Ewees, Tarik A. Rashid, Sinan Salih, Roland Yonaba, Ufuk Beyaztas & Zaher Mundher Yaseen - 2022 - Complexity 2022:1-17.details
Air temperature prediction can play a significant role in studies related to climate change, radiation and heat flux estimation, and weather forecasting. This study applied and compared the outcomes of three advanced fuzzy inference models, i.e., dynamic evolving neural-fuzzy inference system, hybrid neural-fuzzy inference system, and adaptive neurofuzzy inference system for AT prediction. Modelling was done for three stations in North Dakota, USA, i.e., Robinson, Ada, and Hillsboro. The results reveal that FIS type models are well suited when handling highly (...) variable data, such as AT, which shows a high positive correlation with average daily dew point, total solar radiation, and negative correlation with average wind speed. At the Robinson station, DENFIS performed the best with a coefficient of determination of 0.96 and a modified index of agreement of 0.92, followed by ANFIS with R2 of 0.94 and md of 0.89, and HyFIS with R2 of 0.90 and md of 0.84. A similar result was observed for the other two stations, i.e., Ada and Hillsboro stations where DENFIS performed the best with R2: 0.953/0.960, md: 0.903/0.912, then ANFIS with R2: 0.943/0.942, md: 0.888/0.890, and HyFIS with R2: 0.908/0.905, md: 0.845/0.821, respectively. It can be concluded that all three models are capable of predicting AT with high efficiency by only using DP, TSR, and WS as input variables. This makes the application of these models more reliable for a meteorological variable with the need for the least number of input variables. The study can be valuable for the areas where the climatological and seasonal variations are studied and will allow providing excellent prediction results with the least error margin and without a huge expenditure.

Compressive Strength Prediction Using Coupled Deep Learning Model with Extreme Gradient Boosting Algorithm: Environmentally Friendly Concrete Incorporating Recycled Aggregate.Mayadah W. Falah, Sadaam Hadee Hussein, Mohammed Ayad Saad, Zainab Hasan Ali, Tan Huy Tran, Rania M. Ghoniem & Ahmed A. Ewees - 2022 - Complexity 2022:1-22.details
The application of recycled aggregate as a sustainable material in construction projects is considered a promising approach to decrease the carbon footprint of concrete structures. Prediction of compressive strength of environmentally friendly concrete containing recycled aggregate is important for understanding sustainable structures' concrete behaviour. In this research, the capability of the deep learning neural network approach is examined on the simulation of CS of EF concrete. The developed approach is compared to the well-known artificial intelligence approaches named multivariate adaptive regression (...) spline, extreme learning machines, and random forests. The dataset was divided into three scenarios 70%-30%, 80%-20%, and 90%-10% for training/testing to explore the impact of data division percentage on the capacity of the developed AI model. Extreme gradient boosting was integrated with the developed AI models to select the influencing variables on the CS prediction. Several statistical measures and graphical methods were generated to evaluate the efficiency of the presented models. In this regard, the results confirmed that the DLNN model attained the highest value of prediction performance with minimal root mean squared error. The study revealed that the highest prediction performance could be attained by increasing the number of variables in the prediction problem and using 90%-10% data division. The results demonstrated the robustness of the DLNN model over the other AI models in handling the complex behaviour of concrete. Due to the high accuracy of the DLNN model, the developed method can be used as a practical approach for future use of CS prediction of EF concrete. (shrink)
Female Audit Partners and Extended Audit Reporting: UK Evidence.Tarek Abdelfattah, Mohamed Elmahgoub & Ahmed A. Elamer - 2020 - Journal of Business Ethics 174 (1):177-197.details
This study investigates whether audit partner gender is associated with the extent of auditor disclosure and the communication style regarding risks of material misstatements that are classified as key audit matters. Using a sample of UK firms during the 2013–2017 period, our results suggest that female audit partners are more likely than male audit partners to disclose more KAMs with more details after controlling for both client and audit firm attributes. Furthermore, female audit partners are found to use a less (...) optimistic tone and provide less readable audit reports, compared to their male counterparts, suggesting that behavioural variances between female and male audit partners may have significant implications on their writing style. Therefore, this study offers new insights on the role of audit partner gender in extended audit reporting. Our findings have important implications for audit firms, investors, policymakers and governments in relation to the development, implementation and enforcement of gender diversity. (shrink)

Burnout Among School Teachers During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Jazan Region, Saudi Arabia.Ahmad Y. Alqassim, Mohammed O. Shami, Ahmed A. Ageeli, Mohssen H. Ageeli, Abrar A. Doweri, Zakaria I. Melaisi, Ahmed M. Wafi, Mohammed A. Muaddi & Maged El-Setouhy - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.details
BackgroundBurnout is a syndrome that results from stressors in the work environment that have not been successfully managed. The prevalence of burnout among schoolteachers was always controversial. COVID-19 pandemic added more stressors to teachers since they had to change their working styles in response to the pandemic lockdowns or curfews. In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence and determinants of burnout among school teachers were not measured by any other group during the COVID-19 pandemic stressors.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 879 teachers (...) in the Jazan region, Saudi Arabia, using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, during April 2021. Multistage cluster random sampling was used.ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 41.4 years. Male teachers represented 52.6% of the participants while females represented 47.4%. Most teachers showed burnout symptoms. Consequences of burnout were observed, such as using psychotropic medications, absenteeism, lack of job satisfaction, and changing schools. Using the MBI scale, most teachers showed medium or high emotional exhaustion, low depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment.ConclusionMost teachers showed symptoms of burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic. Being an expert and ability to adapt to technology during the COVID-19 pandemic proved to effectively reduce burnout symptoms. Increasing incentives, early detection, and improving the work environment is recommended to diminish burnout consequences. (shrink)

Using Spiritual Connections to Cope With Stress and Anxiety During the COVID-19 Pandemic.Fahad D. Algahtani, Bandar Alsaif, Ahmed A. Ahmed, Ali A. Almishaal, Sofian T. Obeidat, Rania Fathy Mohamed, Reham Mohammed Kamel, Iram Gul & Sehar un Nisa Hassan - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.details
During the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, stress and anxiety were pervasive among the masses due to high morbidity and mortality. Besides the fear of coronavirus was also particularly driven by social media. Many people started to look for faith and spiritual connections to gain comfort. The role of spiritual ties and religious beliefs in relation to coping with pandemic stress gained the attention of researchers in some parts of the world. This cross-sectional survey aimed at assessing the intensity (...) of stress and anxiety symptoms experienced by people and how much they were alleviated by employing spiritual connections. The study sample comprises 795 respondents with 52% males and 48% females living in Saudi Arabia. The brief online study questionnaire collected data about background variables, anxiety and stress scale from DASS-21, and items from the WHOQOL instrument assessed the use of spiritual beliefs to cope. Multiple regression models were tested to determine the role of spiritual connections after adjusting demographic variables. Results illustrated that after adjusting for gender and age, participants' anxiety symptoms decreased by units with each unit increase in the use of spiritual connections, and participants' stress symptoms reduce by units with each unit increase in coping with spirituality. Additionally, females' risk to experience anxiety and stress symptoms was more than males and, respectively. An increase in age decreases the likelihood of experiencing anxiety symptoms and stress symptoms by and units respectively. Findings support the protective role of spiritual connections despite small beta coefficients. The social and cultural context in Saudi Arabia favors deep-rooted connections with spirituality and faith. Our findings support that the reliance on spiritual connections helped older people to deal with exaggerated fear during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and reduces the risk of experiencing anxiety and stress symptoms. Females and younger participants were relatively vulnerable to developing these symptoms. We discussed these findings considering some recent studies that reported similar relationships and made recommendations for future research. (shrink)
Environmental monitoring using a robotized wireless sensor network.Sevil A. Ahmed, Vasil L. Popov, Andon V. Topalov & Nikola G. Shakev - 2018 - AI and Society 33 (2):207-214.details
Big cities and growing industrial areas bring high risk of different kinds of pollutions which would implicate to the quality of life of the society. Discovering and monitoring of polluted areas using autonomous mobile robots is nowadays a frequently considered solution concerning both environmental and human safety problems. Being part of a distributed control system, such robots can help to improve the efficiency of the existing conventional pollution prevention systems. On the other hand, during the last decade, wireless sensor networks (...) have provoked the interest of specialists from different areas by imposing a large number of theoretical and practical challenges related to their implementation. This paper attempts to deal with both issues by presenting a possible way for building robotized WSNs that can be suitable for solving different environmental monitoring tasks. The goal is to transform the WSN into an adaptive sensor system with intelligent behavior that can be used to discover and track spots or areas where given monitored environmental parameters violate defined thresholds. The inclusion of robotized agents into the WSN structure can provide additional flexibility with respect to the installation of the network sensors and allow reliable information gathering and transfer. The proposed algorithmic methods have been tested on a pre-built laboratory prototype of a robotized WSN. The robotized agents have been built using iRobot Create mobile platforms that are additionally equipped with a single-chip computers Gumstix Verdex pro TM XL6P with various expansion modules.

Egyptian mothers' preferences regarding how physicians break bad news about their child's disability: A structured verbal questionnaire.Ahmed M. Abdelmoktader & Khalil A. Abd Elhamed - 2012 - BMC Medical Ethics 13 (1):14.details
Breaking bad news to mothers whose children has disability is an important role of physicians. There has been considerable speculation about the inevitability of parental dissatisfaction with how they are informed of their child's disability. Egyptian mothers' preferences for how to be told the bad news about their child's disability has not been investigated adequately. The objective of this study was to elicit Egyptian mothers' preferences for how to be told the bad news about their child's disability.

The extended reduced Kies distribution, which is an asymmetric flexible extension of the reduced Kies distribution, is the subject of this research. Some of its most basic mathematical properties are deduced from its formal definitions. We computed the ExRKD parameters using eight well-known methods. A full simulation analysis was done that allows the study of these estimators' asymptotic behavior. The efficiency and applicability of the ExRKD are investigated via the modeling of COVID-19 and milk data sets, which demonstrates that the (...) ExRKD delivers a better match to the data sets when compared to competing models. (shrink)

A phenomenology of whiteness.Sara Ahmed - 2007 - Feminist Theory 8 (2):149-168.details
The paper suggests that we can usefully approach whiteness through the lens of phenomenology. Whiteness could be described as an ongoing and unfinished history, which orientates bodies in specific directions, affecting how they `take up' space, and what they `can do'. The paper considers how whiteness functions as a habit, even a bad habit, which becomes a background to social action. The paper draws on experiences of inhabiting a white world as a non-white body, and explores how whiteness becomes worldly (...) through the noticeability of the arrival of some bodies more than others. A phenomenology of whiteness helps us to notice institutional habits; it brings what is behind to the surface in a certain way. (shrink)
A Comparison of Finite Difference and Finite Volume Methods with Numerical Simulations: Burgers Equation Model.Ali Hasan Ali, Ahmed Shawki Jaber, Mustafa T. Yaseen, Mohammed Rasheed, Omer Bazighifan & Taher A. Nofal - 2022 - Complexity 2022:1-9.details
In this paper, we present an intensive investigation of the finite volume method compared to the finite difference methods. In order to show the main difference in the way of approaching the solution, we take the Burgers equation and the Buckley–Leverett equation as examples to simulate the previously mentioned methods. On the one hand, we simulate the results of the finite difference methods using the schemes of Lax–Friedrichs and Lax–Wendroff. On the other hand, we apply Godunov's scheme to simulate the (...) results of the finite volume method. Moreover, we show how starting with a variational formulation of the problem, the finite element technique provides piecewise formulations of functions defined by a collection of grid data points, while the finite difference technique begins with a differential formulation of the problem and continues to discretize the derivatives. Finally, some graphical and numerical comparisons are provided to illustrate and corroborate the differences between these two main methods. (shrink)

I'm unashamed to admit that on January 29th last, I watched the clock at work slowly advance, minute by minute until there came an acceptable time to rush into town and pick up my copy of Kingdom Hearts III. As Geek Ireland's resident Kingdom Hearts fan, I've eagerly anticipated the game's release for many years. After covering all the news from E3 2018, and writing an in-depth prognosis of the game's success, the time has finally come to reflect. Was it worth the wait?
Of course, it is disingenuous to pretend that fans have been waiting a long time for fresh Kingdom Hearts content. Kingdom Hearts Union χ has been drip-feeding a new plot for years, and with 2017's release of Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, players got their hands on three hours of fully fledged story.
For some fans (myself included) there's been hardly any wait at all. The re-released collections on PS4 arrived in time for summer 2017, when I was still a no-good layabout student. In keeping with the student life, I used my surplus of free time to catch up on all the plot I had missed since Kingdom Hearts II in 2006. I became more invested in this delightfully rambling story than I ever was as a kid. I fondly remember the story of Birth by Sleep in particular. It quickly became my favourite entry in the series thanks to its paper-thin but inexplicably endearing characters. Despite all the nonsense, I found myself caring more and more about how Ventus, Terra and Aqua would be reunited, or how Roxas could possibly return. I'm glad to say that Kingdom Hearts III delivered on answering these questions and more.
Not only has the game delivered on the conclusion to the story, but it serves as the ultimate evolution of the series's signature combat mechanics. Kingdom Hearts III brings the greatest hits of the prior games' mechanics, as well as a multitude of original ideas.
The most significant change to combat comes from the removal of the drive gauge. In its place, each keyblade enables Sora to utilise a more powerful moveset upon delivery of a combo. This is called a form change and it encourages you to keep combos up for as long as possible. The longer a combo continues, the more damage it will do as it progresses (as in Birth by Sleep). Shotlocks make a return as well, albeit in a diluted form. Each Keyblade grants access to a different shotlock, allowing for a great variety of player choice in combat style. You can also equip up to three keyblades and switch between them at any time. The game's new combat system is excellently designed for players to come up with their own loadout to suit their personal play style. Your character build choice (mage, strength etc) now means more than ever.
Perhaps the most divisive new mechanic from early trailers was Attraction Flow. Activating this mechanic sees Sora and the gang hop aboard a Disney Park ride and use it in combat (who ever thought you could weaponise a carousel?). The attractions are not quite as annoying as I suspected from trailers. In fact, they add another dimension to the gameplay. The rides must be triggered at appropriate times in order to maximise their effectiveness depending on your situation, forcing you to be constantly aware of your surroundings. The only frustrating aspect of this mechanic is the extended animations that play every time a ride is triggered. Thankfully, the game offers an option to disable these so you don't have to watch Sora climb into the Teacups dozens of times per hour.
Locomotion is drastically improved over 2012's Dream Drop Distance. Flow Motion returns, but with a more limited scope. Kingdom Hearts III's flow motion is less of a means to get from A to B and more of a tool to use environmental objects in combat. This adds yet another layer to the combat system. Objects like trees, pipes and walls can become a weapon in your arsenal.
Overall, the combat, exploration and moment-to-moment gameplay is an excellent culmination of the series' best mechanics.
Combat is lightning fast-paced, particularly at higher difficulties. This sense of fluidity is aided by the stunning visual design and graphics. On a standard PS4, the game will run at 60FPS most of the time, only dipping during busy scenes. There is a stable mode option for those who prefer a consistent frame rate, which will lock the game to 30FPS. However, I found that 60FPS is necessary to get the best experience. Some time into development, Square Enix shifted the game from their in-house engine to Unreal Engine 4. This caused concern among fans at the time but looking at the finished product, it's easy to see that they made the right choice. Some of the Disney worlds look straight out of their films. The Toy Story world, in particular, stands out, with visuals significantly better than the 1995 film. Even the Pirates of the Caribbean world, which was jarring and unwelcome in Kingdom Hearts II, left me stunned with its graphical fidelity.
Pixar perfect: The Toy Story world looks significantly better than the original film.
The original characters have jumped gracefully into the HD era. Early trailers showed lighting issues and off-putting animations that made Sora look like he belonged somewhere between console generations. However, the team at Square Enix have succeeded in creating a new look for Kingdom Hearts going forward. Somehow Sora, Donald and Goofy can blend well with the world of Tangled, yet still, stand alongside Jack Sparrow without looking too out of place.
Yes, it's finally time to address the plot. Kingdom Hearts may well be the most needlessly convoluted story in all of gaming, closely followed by Metal Gear. Its saving grace has been the characters; the loveable misfits who band together and triumph over evil with the power of friendship. The cheesiness is a selling point.
As expected, Sora begins his journey to reunite the guardians of light.
Without spoilers, Kingdom Hearts III wraps up all the loose ends of the saga, but in typical fashion, it opens up just as many. If you're a first time player, the game offers the ability to catch-up on lore with a reasonably concise video summary in six parts. Beyond that, little effort is made to bring newcomers up to speed. This story is written to bring closure for longtime fans and in this, it excels. The plot has countless memorable moments, as I'll discuss in the spoiler section.
As expected, the plot mainly follows Sora and the gang on their journey to assemble the seven guardians of light. Though there is a lot less assembling and a lot more dilly-dallying than I had expected. Following the events of Dream Drop Distance, Sora is instructed by Yen Sid to return to him as soon as he has acquired "the power of waking". It's worth noting that this power is never defined and left me quite confused, wondering if I was forgetting something from previous games. This quest, as well as the search for a way to bring back Roxas, leads the crew to seven different Disney worlds. Each of these loosely follows their film's plot, with the exception of the Pixar worlds.
This time, each world integrates the main plot into the Disney plot. For example, in the Toy Story World, Organization XIII carry out some experiments to see how artificial vessels (toys) can be used to house hearts. While the game makes a significant effort to intertwine the smaller plots of the worlds with the larger story, much of the main plot still ends up compressed into the final act.
This final act is, however, the most compelling part of the game. For fans, years of investment come to an exciting conclusion in the space of four or five hours. Once I reached the final part, I felt compelled to complete the rest of the game in one sitting, even if it did mean staying up until 5 am.
Eventually, the seven guardians of light are assembled. But it's not just the guardians who get to return. Everyone gets their own little reunion amidst the final battle. The moment when Terra, Aqua and Ventus meet at last was so impactful, Tetsuya Nomura himself may as well have walked into my living room and punched me in the gut.
Dream Team: The Birth By Sleep trio are major players in the story.
It was surprising that the most emotional moments in the final act do not revolve around the original trio, but rather from the main characters of the spinoff games. There was one moment which left me so stunned that I had to pause, put down the controller and collect my thoughts before proceeding. I've never played the mobile game Kingdom Hearts Union X, but Ephemer's appearance at the protagonists' most dire time of need was instantly recognisable to me. After this deus ex machina moment, the usernames of real Union X players appear on screen to lend a hand to Sora. A young Eraqus alludes to this plot device as "the light of the past" in a prior cutscene. As ham-fisted as it is, this moment weaves the most die-hard Kingdom Hearts fans' avatars into the saga's official canon. It's a heartwarming moment that left me a little bit bleary-eyed.
Sora and Xehanort have their showdown, bringing the epic tale to its surprisingly mellow conclusion. Xehanort is rocked by the reappearance of Eraqus' spirit (who I was delighted to see was still voiced by Mark Hamill) and goes quietly into that good night. The guardians tie up all the loose ends and return to their lives. Terra Aqua and Ventus return home; Roxas Axel and Xion finally get to have their ice-cream together; Mickey, Donald and Goofy are welcomed back to the Disney Castle, but Sora and Riku are incomplete without Kairi, who disappears at the hands of Xehanort in the final battle. Sora sets off to find her, with both of their fates ambiguous according to the final cutscene.
The secret movie offers some insight into what the next chapter may hold for Sora, Riku and Kairi. Sora and Riku wake up in a gritty, rainy city that's eerily realistic. Additionally, they both have a more realistic, detailed look. It is revealed through an aerial shot that this city is in fact, Tokyo (or at least a stylized version of it). After seeing the movie's title, "Yozora", I was expecting it to tie into the Final Fantasy Versus XIII-esque game featured as a plot point in the Toy Story world, but the next shot is where I really lost my mind.
True King: Verum Rex could be more than meets the eye.
Riku is seen walking in front of the Tokyo metropolitan government building, which is the basis for the Royal Palace in Final Fantasy XV. Not only that, but a familiar set of piano notes play softly over the shot. This song is instantly recognisable as Somnus, the main theme for Final Fantasy XV. I absolutely adored Final Fantasy XV and was disappointed when Tetsuya Nomura announced its characters would not appear in Kingdom Hearts III, so the mere sound of this piano riff made me leap out of my chair. Whatever the next entry in the Kingdom Hearts saga is, it will likely feature settings or characters from one of my favourite games of the last five years, and I cannot wait to see the Chocobros rubbing elbows with Sora and Co.
If you're still reading this, you're either a very dedicated Kingdom Hearts fan or I've angered you immensely. Perhaps both. Either way, we've finally come to the main question: Did Kingdom Hearts III live up to the hype? I would say yes, with some caveats. I really do believe the game could have had a bigger impact on fans had the marketing not publicized certain aspects years ahead of release. As I said at the beginning, the actual "hype cycle" for the game did not take a full 12 years. There were about five and a half years from announcement to release, with only one delay of just one month. Still, in that time, all seven of the Disney worlds were shown off in trailers. I could only imagine what it would have been like to be surprised by the roster of worlds. Perhaps this was beneficial in that Kingdom Hearts III never became the victim of a runaway hype train.
Kingdom Hearts III is made for fans. It ties up all of the many, many loose ends in a satisfying manner that still leaves fans hooked for future games. That said, I would recommend it as the starting point for newcomers. Similar to a comic book series, the Kingdom Hearts plot is now so convoluted with so many nonsensical things to remember, that at this point it's worth jumping in at any part of the series. I think Kingdom Hearts III has done an excellent job at bringing the essence of the franchise to a modern platform, making it as accessible as possible. The game's amalgamation of past mechanics serves as a means for new fans to get a taste of what Kingdom Hearts is.
Overall, I would recommend Kingdom Hearts III to newcomers, and fans don't need my recommendation. They're trapped here with me in the deep, dark Kingdom Hearts lore-hole, ready to shell out another €60 for the next charming mess to come out of Tetsuya Nomura's studio. Here's to another 17 years.


free, portable, simple to use .
Many of the songs are listed wrong, you must use search provider 1, some days it's slow.
It's a simple little program, in fact the UI is as simple as it get's. It's portable which is handy and it's light.
You should always use search provider 1 as 2 will prompt you to upgrade, it would have been nice to know this. Some day's it's very quick and slow on others. I also had issues trying to update it, it would update and then re-open asking for a update again.
My biggest problem is the track listings are all over the place, I downloaded a Dire Straits tune which was a mix of Straits and Fatboy Slim mashed together, this often happens. It's okay but could do with some work yet.

I used to enjoy using the music search program but now its pathetic. I only find a very few tracks when I look for music. The previous versions were great. Not this time.
If the programmers are reading this, please fix the search system. Many times it either can't find the music or it crashes.

This has got to be the best, very best, music download program I have ever found. I would recommend this program to everyone. It is very easy to use and very fast. No hassles. If the rating could go above 10, that would be my choice.
Yes it does use quite a bit of CPU usage but I can live with that.
"the most hassle free music downloader I have ever tried"
Been looking for a portable program like Music2pc. Portable and compact, finds plenty of music, downloads it forthwith. No nags or ads, no sending you to a web site.
Very high CPU usage while downloading, which I'm sure can be fixed in later releases.
Just launch the single EXE file and instantly do your thing. This is the most hassle free music downloader I have ever tried.

Today, there are different types of room heaters available in the market. They all vary in shapes, size, style, cost, operation and other features. Let's know them.
Fan Heaters: Fan heaters are very convenient for heating quite a bigger space that too in a very short time.
The ceramic coil works in heating the air around it. For this, the convection heater quickly heats up and safe to touch as well.
This type is quite beneficial in terms of cost as well.
Infrared Heater: This is known for being the cheapest room heater in the market. This type of heater works like a campfire and is efficient for heating the area close-by.
Since it has no fan in it you can easily feel the difference on your ears. Being smaller in size it heats up quickly using less energy.
Oil Filled Room Heaters: One of the best heaters one can name is the oil filled room heaters.
Unlike the ceramic convection heater, it is not at all noisy. They are good power saving room heating option in the market.
This can be the best choice in a baby's room since it burns no oxygen nor cut down humidity.
Heat convector: The heat convectors actually work by the use of a blower. The air passes through an element which gets heated up easily and passes hot air to make the room heated up fast.
In comparison to other conventional types of room heater the heating convector heater heats up the room much faster.
Halogen: If you wish to buy something in a compact design, Halogen room heaters are the best option. Besides being easy operative, these room heaters are highly mobile than others in the category.
They work by using radiant heat from the tubes filled with halogen. These tubes heat up rapidly radiating heat throughout the room.
Radiator: Though a kind of old-fashioned room heater, Radiator room heaters have evolved in a new style with time and technology.
It is still known for being low-maintenance as well as energy-efficient heaters.
There are basically two types of radiator heaters: Electric and Steam. Though a bit noisy they are absolutely safe and low-cost ones in the market.
You need to focus on many things like space (room area), energy efficiency and design as you plan to buy a room heater.
There are heaters which provide uniform heating to the bigger space while some heaters may provide instant heating to a smaller area effectively.
In fact, cautiously selecting a room heater matching to your room space help you save on energy and ensure overall effective performance.
A check on energy is all that you want at the end of the day. A room heater that would consider your pocket is always preferable.
Most of the portable heaters are actually low on energy saving as in the case of AC.
Your skyrocketing electricity bills can be easily checked with smart features like programmable timer and quick heat as well as electricity saver.
Since room heaters use high voltage and used mostly indoors safety remains always a botheration when in use.So it is wise to always be alert and understand the safety measures associated with the particular device.
There are room heaters that use cool-to–touch features in order to reduce the risk of fire and shocks. .
While buying one for you a heater that turns off on being knocked would get more stars on your list.
Room heaters are not devoid of noise while operation. Like other regular items used at homeroom heaters also emit some noise.
With the advancement in technology, manufacturers have now come up with less noisy room heaters.
If you really wish to give peace to your ears you have the option to choose one from oil heaters that provide silent radiations.
What are the basic features to look for room heaters?
1. Choose between the technologies on which the heater is going to operate. Like: Convection heating, Radiant Heating, Micatheramic Heating.
2. Heater size should be absolutely suited to the room space.
3. Other important features to note are; Programmable timers, Wheels or easy grip handles, Automatic Oscillation, Energy saving modes, Remote Control, Cool-to-the-touch, Overheat protection switch, Multiple heat settings, AC and Fan modes only.
4. Safety features like the risk of fires and overheating must be checked before purchasing. The insurance policy of the house should also be considered before purchasing one.
5. Power consumption rate should also be checked as there are many products on the market that come with multiple power levels.
Are the electric room heaters safe to breathe during winters?
Yes, electric heaters do cause certain breathing allergies because of the dirt, dust and dust mites collected in the vents.
When the heater is turned on these irritants get distributed throughout the room and causing asthma symptoms and irritating allergies.
Can I keep room heater on throughout the night?
Some are there who forget to turn off the heater and some like to keep their room hot throughout the night and intentionally keep the heater on. It is absolutely safe to allow the heater run throughout the night.
What are the safety features to watch in an electric heater?
Keep anything that may catch fire at least 3 feet away from the heater.
Maintain 3 feet Kid-free-zone when placed in a child's room.
Install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and check monthly for it.
What electrical precautions should be taken while room heater?
While putting the electrical heater into power remember not to use any kind of extension cord or power strip which may overheat and result in some kind of fire hazards.
You should refrain from plugging any other electrical appliance to the same socket while the heater is on.
Remember to always unplug and safely restore the heater every time once the use is over.
For safety purpose, you should always directly plug in the heater to the wall socket and avoid any kind of extension cord or power strip.

Q: JSF 1.2 - iterate over a Map that contains Collections Using JSF 1.2 and JSP....
Is it possible to iterate over a Map whose values contain Collections?
I have a Map that looks like this:
Map<String, List<Foo>> myMap;
I would like to iterate over myMap and draw a separate table for each key.
Each table will contaim multiple rows.
Each row will represent a Foo object from the ArrayList mapped to the current key.
Sadly we are using JSF 1.2 and JSP.
I was hoping I could use a nested <h:dataTable> tag, but I'm not having any success.

Edit:
Here is my current JSP code after consulting BalusC's answer:
                    <c:forEach items="#{someModule$someBean.prefMap}" var="mapEntry">

Key: <h:outputText value="#{mapEntry.key}"/>

                        <h:dataTable value="#{mapEntry.value}" var="pref">
                            <h:column><h:outputText value="#{pref.defaultFieldLabel}"/></h:column>
                            <h:column><h:outputText value="#{pref.fieldLabel}"/></h:column>
                        </h:dataTable>
                    </c:forEach>

It causes the following exception:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException: Don't know how to iterate over supplied "items" in <forEach>

Here is some code from my Managed Bean.
Note that I'm using HashMap and ArrayList instead of Map and List
(I read somewhere you couldn't use interfaces, which also don't work)
private HashMap<String, ArrayList<Foo>> prefMap;

public HashMap<String, ArrayList<Foo>> getPrefMap()
{
  if (prefMap == null)
  {
    buildPrefMap();
  }
  return prefMap;
}

private void buildPrefMap()
{
  prefMap = new HashMap<String, ArrayList<Foo>>();
  for (Foo mdp : getFooArray())
  {
    String cat = mdp.getField().getCategory();
    if (! prefMap.containsKey(cat))
    {
      ArrayList<Foo> mpl = new ArrayList<Foo>();
      mpl.add(mdp);
      prefMap.put(cat, mpl);
    }
    else
    {
      prefMap.get(cat).add(mdp);
    }
  }
}

private void dumpMapInfo()
{
  StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
  Map<String, ArrayList<Foo>> theMap = getPrefMap();
  for (String key : theMap.keySet())
  {
    sb.append(key + ": " + theMap.get(key).size());
  }
  System.out.println("\n\n" + sb.toString());
}

Calling dumpMapInfo before rendering the page confirms that the Map is not null and is populated as expected.

A: JSF doesn't have any component which can iterate over a Map. Only the JSTL <c:forEach> can iterate over a Map. Each iteration gives you a Map.Entry back which in turn has getKey() and getValue() methods. You can in turn use a <h:dataTable> to iterate over the map value.
<c:forEach items="#{bean.map}" var="entry">

Key: <h:outputText value="#{entry.key}" />

    <h:dataTable value="#{entry.value}" var="foo">
        <h:column><h:outputText value="#{foo.prop1}" /></h:column>
        <h:column><h:outputText value="#{foo.prop2}" /></h:column>
        <h:column><h:outputText value="#{foo.prop3}" /></h:column>
    </h:dataTable>
</c:forEach>

Update this works only when you're using JSTL 1.2. This fails in JSTL 1.1 because #{} is not recognized in JSTL 1.1 tags and hence you're forced to use ${}, but this in turn fails in the nested JSF components because they accept #{} only. You'd basically need to fall back to "plain" JSP/HTML in that entire piece of code, or, better, grab Tomahawk's <t:dataList>.
