The deep penetration of computers in all realms of society makes technological change the key driver for changing our lives. This will result in a change in approach, from viewing the role of IT as mainly supporting other disciplines, to the integration of IT concepts, tools and theory into modelling theories of the supported disciplines. This chapter discusses some aspects of the relationship between the IT as a modelling discipline, and the modelling disciplines of the domains where IT is applied. IT deals with data and data processes, while application domain models deal with entities of the domain and how they interact. Cross-competence models must deal with both, and with how models of the information technology discipline relate to the various models of the domain disciplines.

This study analysed the role of trust in informal lending decision-making process. By applying verbal protocol analysis, this paper empirically examined the role of trust and cooperation in lender’s initial reaction to potential lending opportunities, and the lender’s assessment of the intermediary responsible for providing the initial referral of the lending opportunity. The results corroborate earlier findings, and provide sufficient evidence to confirm that about 93 per cent of lending opportunities presented to informal lenders are rejected. It also shows that considerable reliance is placed on the brokers presenting the opportunities. The result also indicates that the dearth of entrepreneurial development in Nigeria is tied implicitly to the instant trust and instant cooperation paradigm.

Some form of verbal report — that is, a research participant's concurrent or retrospective verbal account of thought processes during problem-solving activities — has been used throughout this century as the data base from which psychologists have developed theories of human mentation. Newell and Simon (1972) and Ericsson and Simon (1980, 1993) have provided extensive justification for use of one such method, protocol analysis, to investigate cognition from an information processing (IP) perspective. They have characterized protocol analysis as a methodology capable of providing evidence of the cognitive processes used when people attend to information stored in short term memory (STM) in order to solve problems. Cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT), with its concern for the mediation of human development by culturally- and historically-grounded signs and tools based on the work of Vygotsky (1987), Leont'ev (1981), and others, suggests a different view of protocol analysis. In this chapter I outline a CHAT perspective that accounts for protocol analysis along three key dimensions: (a) the relationship between thinking and speech from a representational standpoint; (b) the social role of speech in research methodology; and (c) the influence of speech on thinking during data collection. The purpose of this discussion is to illustrate how use of verbal reports can be viewed through a CHAT lens and to identify alternative assumptions necessary to use it from a CHAT perspective.

Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) are among those most commonly associated with issues related to their needs in education, particularly in terms of taklif in accepting and practicing Islamic teachings. Thus, the initiative to re-evaluate the spiritual needs among PwDs was conducted by a group of researchers from Ibnu Ummi Maktum Research Centre (UMMI), as well as to provide understanding to the community. The objective of this study is to share the experience of UMMI to identify issues related to the Quranic education for the PwDs and explain the role of UMMI in the effort to expand the access of the PwDs to the Quranic education, while addressing issues of religious obligations among them. This study used qualitative methods by making protocol analysis of documents and interview protocol to collect data. The findings show that there is a high level of need especially for the Public University (UA) towards the solidarity and accessibility for the PwDs to appreciate the virtues of the Quran and the wonderful concept of religious life. This noble effort is also seen coinciding with the USIM's wishes to be 'a blessed campus' and a global reference center for Integration of Naqli and Aqli by 2025. ABSTRAK Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU) adalah antara golongan yang sering dikaitkan dengan isu dan perbahasan berkaitan keperluan mereka dalam pendidikan, terutamanya dalam aspek berkaitan persoalan taklif dalam menerima dan mengamalkan ajaran Islam. Bertitik tolak dari sini, inisiatif untuk menilai semula keperluan spiritual dalam kalangan OKU  telah dijalankan oleh sekumpulan penyelidik dari Pusat Penyelidikan Ibnu Ummi Maktum (UMMI) di bawah Institut Sains Islam (ISI), Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), di samping memberi kefahaman kepada masyarakat terhadap konsep taklif dalam kalangan OKU. Objektif kajian ini bertujuan untuk berkongsi pengalaman UMMI mengenalpasti isu-isu berkaitan pendidikan al-Quran bagi OKU dan menjelaskan peranan UMMI dalam usaha memperluaskan akses OKU terhadap pendidikan al-Quran disamping menangani isu tuntutan beragama dikalangan mereka. Kajian ini menggunakan metod kualitatif dengan menjadikan protokol analisis dokuman dan protokol temu bual untuk mengumpulkan data. Hasil dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa wujud keperluan yang tinggi terutamanya bagi Universiti Awam (UA) ke arah solidariti dan aksesibiliti OKU untuk menghayati kemukjizatan al-Quran dan konsep indahnya hidup beragama. Usaha murni ini jugu dilihat bertepatan dengan hasrat USIM sebagai ‘kampus barakah’ dan pusat rujukan global bagi Integrasi llmu Naqli dan ‘Aqli menjelang tahun 2025.

AbstractA method is presented for assigning classification codes to pathology reports by searching similar reports from an archive collection. The key for searching is textual similarity, which estimates the true, semantic similarity. This method does not require explicit modeling, and can be applied to any language or any application domain that uses natural language reporting. A number of simulation experiments was run to assess the accuracy of the method and to indicate the role of size of the archive and the transfer of document collections across laboratories. In at least 63% of the simulation trials, the most similar archive text offered a suitable classification on organ, origin and diagnosis. In 85 to 90% ofthe trials, the archive's best solution was found within the first five similar reports. The results indicate that the method is suitable for its purpose: suggesting potentially correct classifications to the reporting diagnostician.

The artificial intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in distinct fields to solve the complex problems. The digital technical field is increasing day by day in the world and it makes an internal part of our life. Hence, the knowledge of emerging technology is must for making our life easy. However, there are some major areas which are creating the problems to human such as agriculture field that comprises crop diseases, lack of storage management, pesticide control etc. These problems can be solved by artificial intelligence, IOT, machine learning and deep learning. Hence, the aim of this paper is to discuss the role of artificial intelligence to solve different issues of distinct sectors (medical, engineering, agriculture, business, defenses etc.) especially in medicine (COVID-19). Finally, future scope, challenges and application domain of artificial intelligence is also described.

The Age of Image predates and is currently contemporaneous with the Information Age. In our times the explosive expansion of Web 2.0 Social Space, typified by the phenomena of De.licio.us, Flickr, MySpace, YouTube…, and the concomitant emergence of folksonomy, present interesting challenges in the management of this information. One key process by which to accomplish this in Social Space, is the wedding of folksonomy (of the people) with ontology (of the machine). Such a wedding must necessarily be conducted in the shared physicality of the word, of language. In this respect, WordNet together with OWL, play the role of matchmaker. But the same Social Space also provides an opportunity for natural folksonomical tagging by digiFoto (key)image. The research harness for experimental keyimage tagging consists of Flickr as the main (digiFoto image) Social Space testbed and De.licio.us as the auxillary outreach secondary Social Space. Protégé Editor with OWL-DL provides the support for the bridge from keyimage to the formal ontology. The primary end user application domain is the keyimage tagging of paintings in an online art gallery.
