Open Access in the Arab World - AUC Open Access DaysTarek Amr
This document discusses open access in the Arab world, focusing on Egypt. It provides details on open journal systems (OJS) and their limited use in the Middle East and North Africa region. The document also addresses public awareness of open access, noting that Wikipedia has open access articles in 27 languages but not yet in Arabic. It provides examples of open access initiatives in Egypt, including gold open access journals like Hindawi, green open access repositories, and open data initiatives.
Throughout the months of November and December, we are organizing six global in-person ‘meetups’ led and facilitated by Global Voices members, who live and know those local communities.
As a part of my Information Retrieval module in the University of East Anglia, we had to build classifier to detect deceptive review spam. Review spam was described by Nitin Jindal as follows: "It is now a common practice for e-commerce Web sites to enable their customers to write reviews of products that they have purchased. Such reviews provide valuable sources of information on these products .. Unfortunately, this importance of reviews also gives good incentive for spam, which contains false positive or malicious negative opinions". This is my poster presentation where I implemented 3 classification algorithms using Python, as well as feature selection and preprocessor modules.
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and the study of major phenomena surrounding them. HCI is important because computers are now integrated into many aspects of life beyond traditional computers, and poor user experience can lead customers to leave and be difficult to win back. Knowledge is partially contained in the head, world, and constraints, so HCI aims to design systems based on conceptual models that follow principles like visibility, mapping, constraints, affordance, feedback, consistency, and minimalism.

This document discusses data visualization and provides examples related to Egyptian elections. It defines data visualization as visually communicating information clearly and effectively. It also outlines the elements of an effective infographic. Several examples are presented that visualize Egyptian political party maps, election results, and presidential election results. Tools for creating visualizations like Infogr.am, Visual.ly, and Gephi are also mentioned. Finally, it describes the data visualization lifecycle from data collection to analysis to creating visualizations.
The document discusses using social media and online organizing to promote political and social discussions offline in revolutionary Egypt. It describes a project called TweetShare3 that maps online conversations from Twitter and Facebook to real world locations and events to engage more segments of Egyptian society, including the 40% who are illiterate. Volunteers with the self-funded group hold discussions on pre-selected topics in public spaces across 7 governorates to reach more people, including those who may be wary of online political activities.
The document provides instructions for creating news stories using citizen media updates by collecting relevant tweets, blogs, and social media posts on a topic ("ingredients"); storing and organizing these in places like favorites, bookmarks, or notes ("storage"); and then writing a news story that provides context, discusses different viewpoints, and ends with a conclusion ("preparation" and "dessert"). The goal is to gather a diverse range of inputs and craft them into an engaging narrative for readers.
My graduation project in BSc. Electronics & Communications in 2002. Linux Based DiffServ. Router, a software to classify the network traffic, DSCP Mark, Shape and Prioritize it according to those classes.
Social media played an important role in Egypt's revolution and can continue to educate and spread political and economic initiatives. The document outlines several programs that use social media and other technologies to educate rural communities about politics, distribute grassroots newspapers, and monitor elections. It also discusses using influential social media accounts and corporations to propagate political messages and support charitable causes. Overall, the document advocates for harnessing social media to further social and political progress in Egypt after the revolution.
My presentation in Networked Revolts session held in Athens, Greece, May 2011. The session was discussing the uprisings spreading across North Africa and the Middle East and its relation to Social Media. It was organisers by the Greek newspapers Konteiner and Re-public.

This document provides lessons learned from startups. It discusses how the design of SafyYaLaban and Baralbait may not have been cool but should focus on usability. Knowing the audience is important, as Baralbait was mainly a website without proper mobile support. Content is king, and applications should grab content from other sources while also providing incentives for user contributions. A startup's application shouldn't keep content isolated and should promote itself on social media. The business and strategy should follow what users want through the use of APIs and by being flexible to morph over time.

يجب عليك جلبها من السوق
مقاديرالطبخة ثم تخزينها في مكان مناسب
حتى ل تفسد ثم إعدادها للطبخ
بمقادير دقيقة
3. التسوق
• عملية التسوق هنا تتم في مواقع
الصحافة الشعبية المختلفة، مثل

• سيتم التحدث عن أساليب متابعة
وإنتقاء الخبار في حصة منفصلة
• المهم هنا أنه طالما البضاعة
المباعة ترد وتستبدل، فمن
