...Introduction Over the last decade, increasing interest in Intellectual Capital (IC) has been the core factor it is being developed rapidly (Juma and Paine, 2004; Bontis, 2001). IC was first being acknowledged in 1995 by Skandia when it published the world’s first IC yearly report (Edvinsson and Malone, 1997). Definition of Intellectual Capital (IC) There have been tremendously abundant definitions of IC (refer to Appendix 1). In general it may seen synonymous with knowledge capital and asset, intangible and visible assets (refer to Appendix 2). This also includes human capital, information assets as well as the enclose value of organisations (Bontis, 2001; Tseng and Goo, 2005). Itami (1987) refers IC as organisation’s intangible assets that consist of experience, customer relationship and information, organisation’s repute and culture and intellectual property. This consistent with what mentioned by Stewart (1997) where IC comprises intellectual material that is able to generate wealth. The closest definition of IC would be from Roos et al. (2005) where IC is said to be the non-physical besides non-monetary capitals controlled by organisations that leads to value formation. According to Stewart (1997), there are three components for IC, which are human capital, structural capital as well as relational capital (refer to Appendix 3).

...The Advantages and Disadvantages of Online School The best way to advance in life and have a better professional career is by having education. When student finishes a college degree the chances of having a financially stable life are much greater than not going to school at all.

Case: 393 U.S. 503 [the case came out in 1969] In December 1965, students of public schools in Des Moines, Iowa wore a black armband to school to show their objections to the hostilities in Vietnam. The principals of these three schools became aware of the student’s plan to wear the armbands on December 16, 1965, and adopted a policy forbidding students to wear the armbands two days prior. Any student wearing an armband would be asked to remove it, or would be suspended for refusal until after New Year’s Day. Though the petitioners, Mary Beth and John Tinker and Christopher Eckhardt, were aware of the regulation that the school authorities adopted, they still wore their armbands to school as planned and were suspended when they refused to remove them. Tinker v. Des Moines Sch. Dist. 393 U.S. 503 (1969) b. Case: 655 S.E.2d 232 Leilani Capp, Grandmother and guardian of Brian Hunter Sykes, filed a suit against Carlito’s Mexican Bar and Grill to recover compensatory and punitive damages when an incident occurred that resulted in Sykes obtaining injuries from a car crash.

...Lab Assignment #1: Introduction to Encryption Algorithms CSEC 630 University of Maryland University College Professor Jingyu Zhang 1. Which tool or technique would be most effective for a cryptanalyst to use to decipher a text encrypted with the Caesar cipher, and why? The best analysis tool to break the Caesar cipher is histogram because it performs a statistical analysis on cipher text which shows the frequency of each letter used in the file. This can later be compared and matched to the frequency of letters in the English language. 2. What do you notice about the histogram results when text is encrypted with the Vigenère cipher in comparison to the results of the Caesar cipher? Why is this the case? Histogram simply gives the frequency of each individual letter in cipher text without taking the plaintext into consideration. Since in Caesar cipher the relationship between plaintext and cipher text is one to one, histogram is more efficient to break the cipher. Since the key in vigenere is somewhat random the histogram shown below seems random as well. 3. There is an error in the following cipher text representation of this quote, what is it? The original unencrypted message is: TH ED IF FE RE NC EB ET WE EN ST UP ID IT YA ND GE NI US IS TH AT GE NI US HA SI TS LI MI TS The original encrypted message is: THE CORRECT CIPHERTEXT SD AH FO HL AR ST RE AS YL BS CI MQ TF NI VE TG HB SN QC NC SD TD HB SN QC DE CN IC IF OT IC This is the error example: SD...

...In Malaysia, the provision for education is the biggest challenge for the government as the nation strives to become a fully developed country by the year 2020. One solution is to use technology as an enabler to bring education to the masses. Universities are taking up the challenge by updating the content of their programs but more importantly, utilizing the latest technologies to improve the delivery systems. One of the emerging delivery systems much talked about is Open and Distance Education which is fast becoming the way of providing education to the masses. As a result of this new phenomenon, in August 1999, the Minister of Education invited Multimedia Technology Enhancement Operations Sdn. Bhd. (METEOR), a consortium of 11 public universities in the country, to set up an open university. The move by the Minister led to the establishment of Open University Malaysia (OUM) in August 2000 followed by its official launching on 26 August 2002 by the Right Honorable Dato Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the then Prime Minister of Malaysia. OUM is the seventh private university in Malaysia. Although incorporated as a private university under the Private Higher Education Institutions Act 1996, the University leverages on the quality, prestige and capabilities of its strategic partners - a consortium of the 11 public universities. OUM adopts the motto “University for All" which is consistent with its philosophy on democratization of education. This philosophy underlies the belief...

...Assignment 1: Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and You Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems in this region. Regardless of what biome you consider, humans have likely had an impact on the ecology of that area. For this assignment, identify the biome in which you live. The following are a few examples of biomes: * Temperate forests: The temperate forests have variable temperatures, high moisture levels, and higher species diversity. * Taigas: These biomes have colder average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and lower species diversity. Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following: * Explain how humans have impacted the biome in which you live. List the types of environmental damage that have been caused and the species that have been impacted. * I live in Georgia, in the deciduous forest area. Human have impacted this biome as people continue to cut down the trees. We rely on trees since they provide oxygen for all living species. * Describe the major pollution issues...
