Electroencephalography (EEG) has been a recent subject for various medical, clinical and non-clinical uses and applications. This is due to the extensive amount of information hidden within the human EEG brainwaves and brain neural activities. Within this article, we shall present another novel approach related to mining with well, healthy, [...]
Machine learning models for software cost estimation
Software cost estimation is a critical task in software projects development. It assists project managers and software engineers to plan and manage their resources. However, developing an accurate cost estimation model for a software project is a challenging process. This paper builds a software cost estimation model using machine learning [...]
Predictive analytics to improve outcome-based funding for the public universities in south africa through big data
The development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) brought many opportunities for organisations to improve their competitive advantage. Their way of running operational activities has changed, processes have moved towards digitization. The innovative stand makes organizations to generate voluminous data silently which add more potential to improve business value and [...]
Glucose controller for artificial pancreas
Diabetics type1 have been helped by ‘Artificial Pancreas'(AP), which is known as a closed loop control of blood sugar regulation in diabetes. It is a system that joins blood glucose checking through a glucose sensor to check blood sugar in vivo, insulin pump and calculation unit to enumerate insulin dosage [...]
Ethical consumerism in Kingdom of Bahrain
Today, with the growing number of consumers caring about where products come from, companies need to be at the forefront of this upward trend if they want to maintain their profit. In this chapter the authors presented an overview of ethical consumerism in the kingdom of Bahrain. They also highlighted [...]
Fair trade and ethical consumerism: A complementary perspective
Fair trade is directed toward enhancing the satisfaction of stakeholders (i.e., producers, employees, consumers, environmental interest groups, and others). Ethical consumerism employs fair trade to fulfill different objectives related to consumers, environmental, and human resources issues. Fair trade can uphold ethical consumerism as well. This chapter attempts to highlight the [...]
Correction to: Is There Enough Evidence for Osteosarcopenic Obesity as a Distinct Entity? A Critical Literature Review (Calcified Tissue International, (2019), 105, 2, (109-124), 10.1007/s00223-019-00561-w)

Is There Enough Evidence for Osteosarcopenic Obesity as a Distinct Entity? A Critical Literature Review
The co-existence of impaired bone health (osteopenia/osteoporosis), reduced muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia), and increased adiposity (obesity) in middle-aged and older people has been identified in recent studies, leading to a proposal for the existence of “osteosarcopenic obesity” as a distinct entity. Evidence for the pathophysiological overlap of these conditions [...]
Investigating pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards science in Bahrain: Positive or negative?
The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards science by using the Test of Science-Related Attitudes (TOSRA) Scale (Fraser, 1981). The 70-item scale was completed by 75 first year pre-service teachers in their foundation year. Dimensions of the scale, which are Social implications of Science, Normality [...]
Synthesis, in vitro biological evaluation and in silico studies of certain arylnicotinic acids conjugated with aryl (thio)semicarbazides as a novel class of anti-leishmanial agents
Herein we introduce new compounds as conjugates of arylnicotinic acids with aryl (thio)semicarbazide derivatives. Based on a structure-guided approach, they were designed to possess anti-leishmanial activity through anti-folate mechanism, via targeting Leishmania major pteridine reductase 1 (Lm-PTR1). The in vitro anti-promastigote and anti-amastigote activity were promising for many thiosemicarbazide derivatives [...]
