Abstract:
Many governmental organisations across the world are progressively implementing electronic government systems to enhance their back-office operations and offer better and efficient services to citizens. Zimbabwe is not an exception to this e-government wave. Previous studies note that the acceptance and utilisation of e-government systems by citizens in Zimbabwe remains suboptimal, sluggish and problematic due to several factors. This study sought to establish the effect of seven predictor variables on citizens’ behavioural intentions to use e-government systems in Zimbabwe. Drawing from the e

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractIn life, language, and argument, we need to feel at home. “Anchoring” connects whatever seems “new” to what is considered familiar. This paper studies the argumentative use of “anchoring” in the wider context of its role in language use. “Anchoring” provides a unifying perspective in analyzing linguistic and rhetorical elements identified by different schools of thought (Sect. 2). Several features of language, elsewhere studied in the context of “discourse linguistics”, direct the addressee on how to anchor new information to the common ground. Categorizing, labeling and naming (topics from philosophy and psychology) can be considered anchoring functions. And formal linguistic iconicity anchors linguistic representations in evolutionarily older senso-motor systems. Section 3 discusses the anchoring effects of some specific discourse types: genealogy, mythology, aetiology, and etymology. All of these frequently take the form of narrative and are used in affective, “engaged” argumentation. Finally, the rhetorical and argumentative implications of the terminology of “new” and “old” itself are discussed, and one specific “anchoring trope” is analyzed, which sets up an anchor as a reference point for something new: the phrase “X is the new Y” (Sect. 4).

Abstract:
The chapter seeks to demonstrate the need to preserve indigenous knowledge through the preservation of indigenous languages in Zimbabwe. This is premised on linguistic determinism which states that language precedes thought and determines one's worldview. Therefore, by preserving indigenous languages, which in Zimbabwe have continued to be marginalized, the country would be preserving its intangible heritage and maintaining the diversity of its knowledge base. Activities undertaken to preserve indigenous languages are assessed and suggestions put forward on how library and information science professionals could also take part in preserving the knowledge resources.

The questionnaires were distributed to students through WhatsApp groups for all faculties. A total of 255 questionnaires were distributed to students through the existing WhatsApp groups. Of the distributed questionnaires, 128 were returned, and of these, 69 were usable for data analysis. The study revealed that the majority of students utilize WhatsApp for communication with the university. The other finding was that WhatsApp communication was characterized by data bundle costs and internet connectivity challenges. The study recommended that there be a WhatsApp policy and widening of the use for teaching and learning.

This paper presents a general framework for studying the mobility of flexure mechanisms with an arbitrary topology using screw algebra. The current approach for mobility analysis of flexures is ad hoc and mostly done by intuition. In this methodology, we first build a library of commonly used flexure elements, flexure joints and simple chains. We then apply the screw algebra to find their motion and constraint spaces in the form of twist and wrench matrices. To analyze a general flexure mechanism, we first apply a top-down approach to hierarchically subdivide it into multiple modules or buildi

The toolbox consists of a library of predefined reusable/generic lubrication system components like flow resistance elements, pumps and orifice. The component behavior is modeled mathematically using first principles and component characteristics. The developed components

Abstract:
Abstract Turbomachinery plays a key role in process and manufacturing industries. The interplay between power, flow rates and pressure output remain an interesting research area. To support specific processes in the industry, each pump or compressor must be fine-tuned for peak performance. As trend shifts from large organizations to entrepreneurial startups, spending significant costs on licensing of commercially available CFD softwares becomes unfeasible. This paper investigates the use of OpenFOAM – open source CFD package towards the analysis of gear pumps. The solution employs dynamic mesh

Abstract:
Probabilistic topic modeling is a tool for statistical text analysis that can give us information about the inner structure of a large corpus of documents. The most popular models—Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation—produce topics in a form of discrete distributions over the set of all words of the corpus. They build topics using an iterative algorithm that starts from some random initialization and optimizes a loss function. One of the main problems of topic modeling is sensitivity to random initialization that means producing significantly different solutio

t The aim of the study was to present a new business model of an investment recommender system using customer investment service feedback based on fuzzy neural inference solutions and customized investment services. The model designed to support the system’s process in investment companies. The type of research was qualitative and used of exploratory study and extensive library research. The model divided into two main parts using customer investment service feedback: data analysis and decision making. In this model, seven group factors proposed to implement the model of the proposed system of

Abstract:
Abstract Multidisciplinary design tools are the backbone of conceptual design studies to evaluate and assess future propulsion systems. In the last decade, the IT capabilities dramatically increased. At the same time, “zooming” capabilities and more complex evaluation methods found their way into predesign tools. As a consequence, the bottleneck when performing a design study is neither the computational power nor sufficient computer memory anymore, but rather the abilities of the users to apply the dedicated tools adequately. Therefore, it is crucial to limit the administrative tasks dealing
