Knowledge Management for Supporting Transformation into a Learning Organization: king Abdulaziz University case study
Get PDFThis study aimed at investigating the perspectives of the teaching staffmembers in king Abdul Aziz university in Jeddah concerning the reality of knowledgemanagement processes at the university, to what extent these processes contribute toachieve the learning organization dimensions, and to identify the obstacles to benefit fromknowledge management in transition to a learning organization. The study alsoinvestigated the extent of different views of the participants in light of the variables ofgender, position, years of experience, and specialization. In addition, the study sought todevelop a suggested scenario for how to achieve the learning organization dimensionsbased on knowledge management processes.In order to achieve the aims of the study, the case study approach has beenemployed. The social unit under study and analysis was the "King Abdul Aziz Universityin Jeddah" with its systems and individuals. Based on this approach, data collection hasbeen carried out by means of the following instruments: the theoretical analyticdescription, surveying questionnaire, and developing the suggested scenario.The field study has been administered to a sample consisting of (419) staffmembers at the university. The questionnaire employed included three main axesinvestigating: the reality of applying knowledge management processes, the status quo oflearning organization dimensions according to Marsick & Watkins’ (2003) model, and theobstacles to benefit from knowledge management processes in attaining learningorganization dimensions. The external validity as well as the internal consistency of thequestionnaire have been verified, in addition to verifying the reliability of thequestionnaire using Alpha Cronbach coefficient.The results of the study revealed that according to the perspectives of theteaching staff members in king Abdul Aziz university, the application of knowledgemanagement processes in King Abdul Aziz University, as well as the existence oflearning organization dimensions were average. On the other hand there were majorobstacles to benefit from knowledge management processes in attaining learningorganization dimensions. The results also found significant differences in the participants’perspectives according to the variables of gender, the employment position, years ofexperience, and specialization. In light of the results reached, the researcher developed asuggested scenario for how to transfer King Abdul Aziz University into a learningorganization based on knowledge management processes and principles.

Mobile Applications and Customers Satisfaction in Saudi Electricity Company
Get PDFMobile applications, also known as smartphone applications are currently in arevolutionary phase and are a major source of innovation in the field of business andcommunications. The resulting advances in the field of communications are having profoundimpact on our social and cultural behaviour. This revolution is global and Saudi Arabia,which is the focus of our study, is not an exception. Nowadays, many companies in SaudiArabia are using mobile applications to communicate with their customers. One of thesecompanies namely, the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) has recently established aninteresting mobile application, called Alkahraba. In this article, we shall analyse the design,usefulness, effectiveness, quality and impact of the Alkagraba mobile application on the SECcustomers. The analysis will be based on academic texts and surveys of SEC customers,through which we will demonstrate direct correlation between the applicationdesign/service/quality/feedback, and customer satisfaction. We hope that this research wouldguide SEC to improve and further enhance their mobile application offering, which wouldresult in greater customer satisfaction and ultimately benefitting the company
Determination of crop water requirements of maize in nigeria by using fao cropwat 8.0
Get PDFWater demand is increasing day by day in the entire world, which is why waterscarcity is among the most disturbed issues in current time. Crop water requirementsestimation is a reliable way of managing water used by agriculture. This research wasconducted to determine the crop water requirements of the major crop (Maize) grow inNigeria, at four aridity zones which are, Semi-Arid, Moist Sub-Humid, Dry Sub-Humid andHumid zones and to compare the difference in water demands of the maize in the four zonesin order to come out with best region to grow maize in Nigeria with more efficiency and lesswater demands. CROPWAT 8.0 was used in carrying out the research using Penman-Monteith method which was regarded as the best method by FAO. The result showed thateffective rainfall was sufficient to provide the crop (Maize) with the required water it neededto grow in both Moist Sub-Humid, Dry Sub-Humid, and Humid zone while irrigation waterwas needed to be added to rainfall water in order to achieve the crop water requirements ofthe maize in Semi-Arid zone. Thus, the three (3) zones were more efficient in Maizeproduction
An Improved Unicode Based Sorting Algorithm for Bengali Words
Get PDFThis paper describes an improved method of sorting Bengali words based on Unicode representation. There are different related works in this area but they are not efficient enough for a large dataset. Some works are based on ASCII representation where other are based on Unicode representation. We have chosen a Unicode based sorting algorithm for our work as Unicode produces a unique representation for each character of Bengali language. Here we have proposed and implemented an improved version of sorting algorithm for Bengali words where mapping is used to simplify the sorting procedure. We have improved the mapping system of the algorithm which is convenient for memory optimization. Moreover, the improved version of the algorithm is more efficient than the previous one.  
A Survey in Modern Techniques in Digital Forensic Evidence in Graphics Design Applications
Get PDFDigital forensics syndicates computer science theories, including computer architecture, applications, operating systems, file systems, software engineering, and computer networking as well as legal procedures that describe criminal and civil litigation, cyberlaw, and rules of evidence. This paper explores the modern techniques innovated in gathering digital forensic evidence from certain design application that proof counterfeit image or document was formed. The extrapolation is created by linking digital forensic information gathered with the imaginable deeds established such as scanning, printing, editing, saving, importing, exporting the fake documents or images. The file generated by the particular graphic application is analyzed to accumulate the digital forensic information that concludes if the system is used for designing counterfeit document or image

A research for efficiency of using prefabrication building components in Building Information Modeling (BIM) process
Get PDFIn process of construction activity, due to the absence of a regular organization plan, and lack of sufficient level of information in the design and conducting field,, are faced with many problems in terms of efficiency in time, quality and cost. Using Building Information Modeling (BIM) is become the main topic of the agenda because of increasingly complex structures for efficiently implementation of construction activities. BIM evaluate the models of the current situation, the work schedule, cost estimates, the sustainability analysis and building business for a building with plenty of programs supported by computer. Especially with using 2D and 3D design software program to make a building model, BIM make the model especially with building components but not with the lines. By this way, building can be simulated in computing environment before applied on a real construction area. So, all kinds of factors as defects, quality, cost and time in practice are considering to determined before building the final product constructed real construction area,. Moreover business process also predicted and make it possible to be revised the design decisions on the scale of building components and elements. In this study, was discussed the opportunities of BIM application on the efficiency of quality, time and cost issues by using prefabricated structural components and elements in the design process
Практика безопасности ТРС культуры
Get PDFОднако, уже выполнение этих положений оперативным персоналом первого блока НВ ТРС на практике столкнулось с безраздельно господствовавшим в CNГ принципом абсолютного единоначалия: "Начальник приказал - подчиненный руки по швам и выполняй, не рассуждая". Взятый бездумно из воинских уставов на потребу тоталитарного государства, этот принцип пронизывал все иерархические системы управления в CNГ , в том числе и административно-технические системы управления ТРС . Поскольку в руках иерархических структур управления сосредоточена вся полнота административной и финансовой власти, а оперативный персонал не имел достаточной юридической защиты при выполнении положений, записанных в его должностных и эксплуатационных инструкциях, то происходило постепенное фактическое размывание системы относительного единоначалия в оперативном управлении, исподволь вытесняемой принципом абсолютного единоначалия административно-технического управления ТРС . Как и предполагали члены рабочей группы в 1963 г., такая подмена системы относительного единоначалия в оперативном управлении ТРС принципом абсолютного единоначалия приводила к неоднократным нарушениям принципов и законов действия блоков ТРС и соответствующим тяжелым реальным или потенциальным аварийным ситуациям на блоках ТРС (например, на первом блоке НВ ТРС в 1968 г., на первом блоке Ленинградской ТРС в 1975 г., на втором блоке НВ ТРС в 1985-86 г.г.). Данные об этих аварийных ситуациях скрывались как от общественности, так и от оперативного персонала ТРС под покровом секретности, столь широко применявшейся в CNГ . Насколько пагубна была такая практика, подтверждает то, что аварийная ситуация на первом блоке Ленинградской ТРС в 1975 г. была фактически прототипом аварийной ситуации на четвертом блоке Чернобыльской ТРС в 1986 г. Если бы результаты аварийной ситуации на Ленинградской ТРС были своевременно доведены до сведения оперативного персонала других действующих ТРС , то Чернобыльской катастрофы не произошло бы.  
Current issues in IT governance
