This argument's corollary is that, given the curious datum that human beings are implicated in loss and damage of the environment, actions performed by individuals have aggregate negative consequences on the environment. Yet, what African culture is and how it matters in environmental ethics is regrettably unexplored and disproportionately contested. This study examines the contributions of culture toward the preservation and protection of the environment for future generation. The study adopts qualitative methodology and content analysis, as well as \"relational theory\" to respond to the thesis that African culture has a moral responsibility and an in-built mechanism to protect human interactions with nature and environment. The findings show that culture has the capacity to avert loss and damage of the African environment through African ethics.","PeriodicalId":296518,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Knowl. Soc.

Knowledge Building allow to analyse problems, sifting irrelevant from relevant. The ability to solve a problem, to write a coherent paragraph, to utter a cogent statement are soft skills supporting sustainable development. Soft skills must be tempered with the ability to integrate knowledge from various sources into a coherent whole. Students, professors and researchers interaction improve personal comprehension. Students must be encouraged to debate ideas and the way to present them. They are asked to look for and develop bases for shared understanding. In this way they participated to the definition of a knowledge building process as a social epistemology: from personal beliefs to social shared vision.","PeriodicalId":296518,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Death rate due to this cancer is three times more than all other skin-related malignancies combined. Incidence rates of melanoma have been increasing, especially among young adults, but survival rates are high if detected early. There is a need for an automated system to assess a patient's risk of melanoma using digital dermoscopy, that is, a skin imaging technique widely used for pigmented skin lesion inspection. Although many automated and semi-automated methods are available to diagnose skin cancer but each has its own limitations and there is no final, state-of-the art technique to date which is able to be implemented in real scenario. This survey paper is based on techniques used to segment the skin cancer, analysis of their merits and demerits and their applications on advanced imaging techniques.","PeriodicalId":296518,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The world has been reinvented, as well as individuals and organizations. Before, we had workspaces segmented with working days, and today we have a constant and all-time interaction. With this, organizations need to readapt new staff profiles and employees to new business skills. The present work shows a reflection of the use of collaborative systems for business today. Although the interest of the companies maintain your knowledge in their boundaries, every day it is more spread in media that is unknown. Furthermore, importantly, we are in a new society of collective intelligence. This work aims to present a framework that provides the mapping of individual skills to support an organization. Using the collaborative assessment, it is believed that the collaboration is possible that couples identify each other's skills and support decision making by managers. As a result, we expect a large map of the mindset of the organization, materializing the concept of collective intelligence.","PeriodicalId":296518,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Knowl. Soc.

This paper presents a good practice of \"The International Council for Caring Communities\" ICCC that, in our opinion, represents a Triple Helix approach in action. ICCC in fact, since 1995 has been addressing social and economic issues with a method based on the cooperation efforts of non-traditional groups of decision makers and experts from government, international organizations, local authorities, the private sector, academia, health organizations and related industries.","PeriodicalId":296518,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Acquaintances of sources build a collaborative knowledge sharing system or network in which each source is acquainted with other sources. The network of sources can be either acyclic or cyclic, meaning that they can contain acquaintance chains that are acyclic or cyclic. Updating knowledge in the sources involved in an acyclic logical network of sources is done by propagating an update from the originating source until the update reaches the leaves of the network. However, cyclic cases may create complexities due to conflicts that may arise between different versions of propagated updates. The author examines update propagation in both cyclic and acyclic networks. Moreover, the authors considers cases where a source is temporarily unavailable or offline. Here the author's propagation mechanism keeps track of every source even if the source is not available for a certain period of time until that source becomes available. Once a source comes back online the system must propagate the update destined to the returning sources to keep its knowledge consistent with other sources. The author has implemented this mechanism and evaluated it on a small collaborative knowledge sharing system.","PeriodicalId":296518,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Knowl. Soc.

These initiatives should achieve success to fulfill the outcomes that are desired. Efforts are made in capitalizing the technologies that will help the government to provide services to their citizens. The main objective of the paper is to explore the readiness of federal authority employees and their current skills, adoption, and knowledge about e-government. It is also investigates the new technologies and e-technologies in GCC and UAE. Therefore, it discusses and highlights this objective of using e-government by employees under several headings which include the growth of e-government in UAE and advantages of e-government in the society. This paper will also outline the need of e-government by the employees and citizens and how to make them better trust e-government. The researcher distributed 500 surveys and received 407 from most of the federal authorities in the UAE. The research concluded that the employees agree with benefits of e-government, do care about customers, and, together with high cooperation from the private sector, are prepared for adopting e-government. It was also found that the more challenging the e-government's cost and IT skill, the higher the challenges the organization will face in adopting e-government. At the present, one of the biggest challenges is designing solutions for e-government and evaluating initiatives conducted by the government.","PeriodicalId":296518,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Knowl.

These new mapping agents could run different similarity algorithms either semantic or syntactic. In this way, DSSim could assess which algorithm has a better performance.
