Despite the obvious benefits and growing popularity of Machine Learning (ML) technology, there are still concerns regarding its ability to provide Financial Distress Prediction (FDP). An accurate FDP model is required to avoid financial risk at the lowest possible cost. However, in the Internet era, financial data are exploding, and they are being...

This study aims to develop a better Financial Statement Fraud (FSF) detection model by utilizing data from publicly available financial statements of firms in the MENA region. We develop an FSF model using a powerful ensemble technique, the XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) algorithm, that helps to identify fraud in a set of sample companies draw...

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are aggregated, combined and analyzed for suitable treatment planning and safe therapeutic procedures of patients. Integrated EHRs facilitate the examination, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, the existing EHRs models are centralized. There are several obstacles that limit the proliferation of centralize...

BACKGROUND This paper investigates the use of mobile learning platforms for learning purposes among university students in UAE. An extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) are proposed to analyze the adoption of mobile learning platforms by university students for accessing course materials, searching the web...

Background: Mobile learning has become an essential instruction platform in many schools, colleges, universities and various educational institutions across the globe as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic crises. The resulting severe pandemic circumstances disrupted physical and face-to-face or contact teaching practices requiring many students to...

The minimization of energy consumption related to data acquisition is of prime importance in energy constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The application of Compressive Sensing (CS) scheme can promote effective utilization of limited energy and radio resources of WSN, and reduce the wireless bandwidth needed for communication by decreasing t...

Innovation is the backbone of the information technology industry. IT projects are creating new innovative knowledge and are targeting successful performance. This is a qualitative study applied on the project managers in the IT sector to describe the relationship between the innovative knowledge creation and the stability of the IT projects' perfo...

being a fast developed country the UAE realized the need for highly qualified and properly skilled manpower to cope with development process, this resulted in high investments in education and training in the UAE combined with introduction of high technology equipments in education but a failure in fully integrating such technologies in the curricu...

The information age, globalsiation and the knowledge economy all suggests that there is an increase need for a change in the educational systems to include complex skills such as problems solving and critical thinking. This work investigates the feasibility of using technology in combination with educational theories to achieve complex skills.

the work investigates the technological infrastructure in the UAE and its readiness for technology adoption in the very fast developing world. the work highlights the architectural development in the UAE and how this emphasise a need for new technologies.

Review of the literature indicated that today?s knowledge-driven economy demands a workforce equipped with complex skills and attitudes such as problem solving, meta-cognitive skills, critical thinking and lifelong learning. Such skills can be acquired if learning and teaching are guided by the constructivist and cognitive learning theories. In par...

A review of national government literature indicates that today?s knowledge-driven economy demands a workforce equipped with complex skills and attitudes. Examples of these skills and attitudes are general problems solving, meta-cognitive skills, critical thinking and lifelong learning. Reviews of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction indu...
