No full textThis is an accepted manuscript of an article published by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis) in Security and Organization within IoT and Smart Cities (in press), available online: https://www.routledge.com/Security-and-Organization-within-IoT-and-Smart-Cities/Ghafoor-Curran-Kong-Sadiq/p/book/9780367893330
The accepted version of the publication may differ from the final published version.Waste management has been a serious issue in urban areas due to the population growth. An appropriate solid waste management system is needed to improve the cleanliness of the environment. On the other hand, the rapid growth of the wide adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) within the context of smart cities has motivated numerous number of studies investigating new solutions that could be helpful in mitigating and solving the waste management issue. Despite the existence of such methods have been introduced and used in managing waste’s location, volume and the optimal path for collection, yet these IoT based technologies are vulnerable to misinformation kinds of cyber attack. Consequently these types of attacks will yield crucial impact on the decided collection path and the frequency of garbage trucks visiting the fake reported waste points, which obviously costs money and time. Hence, this chapter proposes a trusted crowd associated network architecture that uses a group of components to monitor waste and provide optimum collection route for the garbage truck. Netlogo a multi-agent platform has been used to simulate a real time monitoring on waste management as a proof of concept. Our proposed approach measures the waste level data then updates and records them continuously. An optimal route will then be provided to the garbage truck for the optimal waste’s collection once a certain number of bins have reached a predefined threshold (combination of weight and height values). Three simulation scenarios are defined, implemented, and their results have been validated. The performance measure shows that our proposed solution could provide an aid waste management companies in reducing cost and time in the waste collection process, which supports the integration plans of IoT technology within smart cities
Handbook of data quality: research and practice
No full textThe issue of data quality is as old as data itself. However, the proliferation of diverse, large-scale and often publically available data on the Web has increased the risk of poor data quality and misleading data interpretations. On the other hand, data is now exposed at a much more strategic level e.g. through business intelligence systems, increasing manifold the stakes involved for individuals, corporations as well as government agencies. There, the lack of knowledge about data accuracy, currency or completeness can have erroneous and even catastrophic results. With these changes, traditional approaches to data management in general, and data quality control specifically, are challenged. There is an evident need to incorporate data quality considerations into the whole data cycle, encompassing managerial/governance as well as technical aspects. Data quality experts from research and industry agree that a unified framework for data quality management should bring together organizational, architectural and computational approaches. Accordingly, Sadiq structured this handbook in four parts: Part I is on organizational solutions, i.e. the development of data quality objectives for the organization, and the development of strategies to establish roles, processes, policies, and standards required to manage and ensure data quality. Part II, on architectural solutions, covers the technology landscape required to deploy developed data quality management processes, standards and policies. Part III, on computational solutions, presents effective and efficient tools and techniques related to record linkage, lineage and provenance, data uncertainty, and advanced integrity constraints. Finally, Part IV is devoted to case studies of successful data quality initiatives that highlight the various aspects of data quality in action. The individual chapters present both an overview of the respective topic in terms of historical research and/or practice and state of the art, as well as specific techniques, methodologies and frameworks developed by the individual contributors. Researchers and students of computer science, information systems, or business management as well as data professionals and practitioners will benefit most from this handbook by not only focusing on the various sections relevant to their research area or particular practical work, but by also studying chapters that they may initially consider not to be directly relevant to them, as there they will learn about new perspectives and approaches

HISTORICAL PERSONAUTY OF JA'FAR AL-SADIQ
No full textJa'far al-Sadiq who is the 6th imam in the Shi'ite Imamiyyah seems as an
important figure in the early years of the second century when Abbasid received the
dynasty from the Umeyye. The works mention Ja'far al-Sadiq's studies. Same
nıysterious sciences as astrology, cefr, augury, talisman, chenıistry, magic, and extra
ordinary abilities have been referred to Ja'far al-Sadiq. He has been well-known for his
scientific personality more than his political identity. He has not taken any part of the
Shiite ·rebels as he has not participated in any re bel in his period. He has been taught by
many respected ulema(doctors of Islam Theology) and has also trained a lot of
respected ulema Tradition of the prophet have agreed on his being a reliable and
trustworty narrator. Shiite parties have wanted to gain legality for themselves by
imputing their erroneus views to Ja'far al-Sadiq. Because he has been an Imam agreed
on by alliance by every body. Ja'far al-Sadiq has been for away from such expressions
as divinity, prophethood miracle, bed'a, rec'at, metempsychosis, reincamation,
comparison defended by gulat groups, and has pronounced a formal aneiliama against
the people talking nonsense and persecuted theirs leaders
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Academic writing support : empowering undergraduates' academic writing / Siti Ruqayyah As-Sadiq Abdul Rahim
No full textAcademic writing skills needs differ from one discipline to another. This is reflected in the nature of academic writing of the discipline, the academic writing challenges writers face and the resources that are available. In seeking to develop an empowered writer, the right provision of support should be made available according to the needs of the writer. This study investigates the academic writing needs and the academic writing support needs of undergraduates from three various discipline (TESL, Art and Science) of one faculty of Education at a public university in Malaysia. This is the only university with a language policy where English is the medium of teaching and learning. This study applies the mix method design of Plowright (2011), the Frameworks for an Integrated Methodology (FRalM). This study reports the findings of numerical data analysis generated from third year undergraduate students (n=196) and narrative data analysis from both academicians (n=4) and students (n=8). Findings indicated that there is an absence of academic writing support. The findings inform that although all three program disciplines are under the same faculty, their academic writing needs are distinctively different. This study proposes that an academic writing support in the form of a writing centre would be able to facilitate the varying academic writing needs of undergraduates in the faculty

The legal framework for private sector development in a transitional economy : the case of Poland
No full textThe economies of Central and Eastern Europe are in the midst of a historic transition from central planning and state ownership to development of a market-driven private sector. This transition requires comprehensive changes in"rules of the game"- including the legal framework for economic activity. A market economy presupposes a set of property rights and a system of laws or customs that allow the exchange of those rights. The legal framework in a market economy has at least three basic functions: defining the universe of property rights; setting the rules for entry into and exit from productive activities; and setting the rules of market exchange. These legal tasks are accomplished by areas of law such as: company, foreign investment, bankruptcy, contract and competition law. Poland has a rich legal tradition dating from pre-socialist times, which was suppressed but not eliminated during its forty years of socialism. This tradition is being revised as the country moves toward a private market economy. The current legal framework in Poland closely follows other continental jurisdictions and has a clear and reasonable internal logic. Many of the laws are old, but most are flexible enough to permit a wide range of modern, market-oriented activity. Property law, however, remains a"jungle". The wide discretion and general lack of precedent create tremendous legal uncertainty that is sure to hamper private sector development.Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Housing and Land,Legal Products,Land and Real Estate Development

The research was conducted to determine the role of Sultan Oesman Sadiq Syah in preserving the Bacan Sultanate’s legacy (1900-1935). The method used is historical research, namely; heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography, using an oral history approach. The data collected is then analyzed and conclude. The results of the research show that: First, the system of government uses an absolute monarchy system, that is, in every ecstasy the Sultan's leadership will be continued by his direct descendants from a son, who in the Bacan Sultanate is known as "Assultan ibnu". sultan”, meaning that the Sultan is the son of the previous sultan. Second, Sultan Oesman Sadiq Syah's contribution to the Bacan Sultanate included the formation of two large communities, intelligent politics/commerce politics, and building the religious, educational and economic centers of the sultanate
