COMPATABILITY BETWEEN ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICEIN EGYPT

The impact of education on countries urbanism is clear as much as culture, economy, and politics are. In Egypt, although urban education is usually appended by architectural education; the current educational methods, and content in architecture schools do not grant the needed convergence between educational institutions and the needs of professional practice regulations. This paper focuses on curricula of architectural education for under graduate engineering programs in Egypt. It analyzes various programs of architecture in higher education referring to the practice regulations. As well as investigating if they are reflected clearly on the architecture education or not. Case studies will include four main Egyptian undergraduate architectural engineering programs. The study uses the qualitative approach in which descriptive analysis of different disciplines ratios, and study hours taught to students during undergraduate phase is done. As the qualitative approach in the exposure to the rules and regulations presenting Egyptian professional practice. Two comparisons are held during the discussion, one between different educational programs systems in Egypt, and another one about fulfilling the role of architect authorized by law, and regulations. Finally, the research ends with a number of conclusions concerning the analytical study, and recommendations on connecting three main pillars, including the architecture education, the laws and regulations, and the professional practice requirements

Detection of SQL Injection Attacks: A Machine Learning Approach

© 2019 IEEE. With the rapid growth in online services, hacking (alternatively attacking) on online database applications has become a grave concern now. Attacks on online database application are being frequently reported. Among these attacks, the SQL injection attack is at the top of the list. The hackers alter the SQL query sent by the user and inject malicious code therein. Hence, they access the database and manipulate the data. It is reported in the literature that the traditional SQL injection detection algorithms fail to prevent this type of attack. In this paper, we propose a machine learning based heuristic algorithm to prevent the SQL injection attack. We use a dataset of 616 SQL statements to train and test 23 different machine learning classifiers. Among these classifiers, we select the best five classifiers based on their detection accuracy and develop a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application based on these five classifiers. We test our proposed algorithm and the results show that our algorithm is able to detect the SQL injection attack with a high accuracy (93.8%)

Potato Growers Needs for Information on the Varieties and Fertilizers in Kafr Al-Zayat District in Al-Gharbia Governorate, Egypt

The research aimed to identify the level of information need of the respondents with regard to the technical recommendations for potato crop varieties, as well as for fertilizing the potato crop, and to determine the relationship between the degree of information need, of technical recommendations for potato crop varieties, for fertilizing the potato crop, each as a dependent variable and all the independent variables studied. Other aims included identifying the sources from which respondents derive their information about the potato crop, to identify the problems encountered by the respondents concerning the varieties and fertilization of the potato crop. This research was conducted in three villages randomly selected from 35 villages in Kafr Al-Zayat district in Al-Gharbia Governorate, namely, Qasta, Abeg and Al-Dalgamon, the sample size was 115 farmers. The data collection tool is an interview schedule, it was used to collect data during March 2019. Descriptive statistics frequency were used for presenting and analyzing the findings, along with, percentages, range, arithmetic average, standard deviation, chi- square test of independence, and Pearson's simple correlation coefficient. The main findings indicate that: 71.3% of the respondents were of moderate levels of information need of the technical recommendations for potato crop varieties; 69.6% of the respondents were of moderate information need of technical recommendations for fertilizing the potato crop. Furthermore, correlation relationships of varieties lurks in a statistically significant relationship at the probability level of 0.01 between the degree of respondents information need for technical recommendations for potato crop varieties and the degree of education of the respondents as well as correlation relations for fertilization was shown in a statistically significant relationship at the probability level of 0.01 between the degree of respondents information need of technical recommendations for fertilizing the potato crop and between the degree of education of respondents, and the average productivity of the potato crop

Novel polymorphisms and genetic studies of the shadow of prion protein gene (SPRN) in pheasants

BackgroundPrion diseases in mammals are caused by the structural conversion of the natural prion protein (PrPC) to a pathogenic isoform, the “scrapie form of prion protein (PrPSc).” Several studies reported that the shadow of prion protein (Sho), encoded by the shadow of prion protein gene (SPRN), is involved in prion disease development by accelerating the conformational conversion of PrPC to PrPSc. Until now, genetic polymorphisms of the SPRN gene and the protein structure of Sho related to fragility to prion disease have not been investigated in pheasants, which are a species of poultry.MethodsHere, we identified the SPRN gene sequence by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and compared the SPRN gene and Sho protein sequences among various prion disease-susceptible and -resistant species to identify the distinctive genetic features of pheasant Sho using Clustal Omega. In addition, we investigated genetic polymorphisms of the SPRN gene in pheasants and analyzed genotype, allele, and haplotype frequencies, as well as linkage disequilibrium among the genetic polymorphisms. Furthermore, we used in silico programs, namely Mutpred2, MUpro and AMYCO, to investigate the effect of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Finally, the predicted secondary and tertiary structures of Sho proteins from various species were analyzed by Alphafold2.ResultsIn the present study, we reported pheasant SPRN gene sequences for the first time and identified a total of 14 novel SNPs, including 7 non-synonymous and 4 synonymous SNPs. In addition, the pheasant Sho protein sequence showed 100% identity with the chicken Sho protein sequence. Furthermore, amino acid substitutions were predicted to affect the hydrogen bond distribution in the 3D structure of the pheasant Sho protein.ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the genetic and structural features of the pheasant SPRN gene

A Qualitative Survey Study in Managing Patient Obesity for Exploring Self Efficacy among Saudi General Practitioners

This study aimed at investigate the management of obesity patients for exploring the self-efficacy among Saudi general practitioners in a qualitative survey methodology, by conducting interviews that were recorded digitally and transcribed verbatim by a professional transcription service. DE identified data were transferred into NVivo 10 for data organisation and coding. Data were analysed independently by the researchers and coded using social cognitive theory as a guiding framework. Twenty GPs recruited via a snowball sampling strategy to deliver a pilot of an obesity management program (“The Change Program”) participated in semi structured interviews before commencing the pilot. Of the 20 participating GPs (twelve  males and eight female), ages ranged between 33 and 55, and years working in general practice ranged between 5 and 25. The Interviews were face-to-face and were conducted in June and July of 2017. The study concluded that shifting the frame away from weight loss per se and towards these other goals might therefore allow for a more authentic GP-patient interaction and increase the self-efficacy of both GP and patient for healthy lifestyle changes
