Notions of Identities in the Eyes of Malaysian Children
Get PDFAfter 50 years of independence recently there has been much discussion on national unity and integration in multilingual and multiracial Malaysia. Unfortunately, although we have just celebrated our 53rd year of independence, the young especially are still separated by race and religion. The existence of Chinese and Indian medium schools alongside national schools at the primary level creates a situation in which students attending these separate type of schools would have little chances of interacting with each other. For example, Chinese students who largely attend Chinese medium schools (SJKC) would not have much chance to mingle with Malay and Indian students until they reached secondary school
An Assessment of ISMS Process Maturity based on Readiness and Awareness of team members of selected IT Organizations
Get PDFThe growth of computers and of information technology has been explosive. As a result, information technology has been widely applied in every aspect of our life—from business, government, education, finance, health-care, aerospace to national defence. Computers, especially networked computers, have brought benefits to us and improved our lives. However, surveys and reports from various industry associations and security organizations suggested that only a few organizations can successfully protect their information assets. Organizations realize that information security is a complex issue, involving both human and technical factors. This paper is an attempt to empirically assess the maturity of Information Security Management System (ISMS) implementation in selected IT Service organizations in terms of confidence of their employees on their Information Security Management System

Study and Analysis of Optimized Site-selection for Urban Green Space by Using Fuzzy logic: Case Study: Seventh Region of Ahvaz Municipality
Get PDFPublic land-uses in many cities are not able to present desirable services to citizens because of some problems such as high population density, lack of regularity in establishment and site-selection, and lack of attention to accessibility radius and population thresholds. This problem is magnified in big cities especially for land-uses such as green spaces. In urban supplying services only increasing of services is not a reason for proper supplying services but more important is optimized distribution of these centers. In this regard, present paper based on descriptive-analytical method as well as GIS follows optimized distribution of green space in the cities according to site-selection principals of urban green space. Case study is region 7 of Ahvaz municipality which has a population of 150215 persons and 2.78 green space capita, and this amount in addition to significant difference to standards determined by environment united nations (20-25 for a person), has been not distributed optimally. Regarding this city locating warm and dry zone of the earth, it is very important to select an optimized site for green spaces .Hence, in order to select a proper and optimized site for the green spaces according to site-selection principals layers (criteria) such as vicinity to residential centers, educational centers, cultural centers, urban infrastructures and establishments, commercial centers, hygienic centers, industrial centers and wastelands and etc. have been used. Research results in fuzzy logic valued region lands based on their importance in recognizing optimized location. Afterward, these lands were compared with land-use map and it was distinguished that lands with very good, good, and medium degree were placed close to residential, cultural, and educational centers which had more governmental ownership, and lands with weak and very weak degree were placed far from compatible land-uses, and were more placed close to industrial, administrative, hygienic sportive, and commercial centers which often had private ownership, therefore, they were not suggested for creating green space
Implementation of ISMS and its Practical Shortcomings
Get PDFInformation security has been a global issue and challenge from many years. Protection of vital information of the organization has always been a huge challenge for all as millions of intruders put continuous efforts to get access to this information. The information whether stored in physical form on papers or in electronic form in computers, is the most critical element of any successful business and its high values make it the focused target of intruders. Organizational data face threats from external as well as internal factors of the organizations and there is no surprise that organizations implement security measures for their data assets in their premises and networks. Companies spend huge efforts, time, and money on the security of their crucial data and make best possible efforts to keep their data confidential and private yet face losses at many places due to limitations of their security systems. This white paper highlights some most common practical shortcomings in the security systems of the companies
