In the past, the sellers displayed their products and the customer came to try and buy it. But after the new invention (the Internet), there is a new shopping platform called (online shopping) created. Each society has its culture and specificities that change or influence their intentions. This research examined the Gulf States to find out the basic factors that affect their intentions to buy from the Internet. Several factors chosen in this study, these factors were adopted through the results obtained through the initial questionnaire published in the study community. The study population was specific to the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries (citizens and residents) to determine their priorities for online shopping. The data collected for this research was carried out through the publication of the questionnaire in some universities in the targeted countries of the study society in addition to real customers who already shopped through online stores. To analyze these data, different methods of analysis (descriptive analysis, multiple regression analysis, dummy variables, and ANOVA test for hypothesis testing) were used. The result of this study found that customers in the study community do care about some factors such as payment methods, discounts, ease to use, ordering method, and verified page more than another factor chosen through this study like security, product quality, shipping, warranty and order status. İn this study there is one of the factors was studied carefully because it has a unique characteristic, and it is the verified pages because it entered the market in recent years and there is not a lot of research written on this topic. Thus, in this research we will find its value on customer’s intention to make new purchasing through new websites.

Feature extraction is a fundamental process in pattern recognition. the shape and texture recognition system consists of five major tasks which are involved pre-processing,segmentation, feature extraction, classification and recognition.Generally, less discriminative features in global and local feature approach leads to reduce in recognition rate. By proposing a global and local approach that produces more discriminative features and less dimensionality of data, these problems are overcome. Two feature extraction methods are studied namely Gabor filter and edge direction matrix (EDMS) and combination of two popular feature extraction methods is proposed The proposed method is a combination of Gabor filter and EDMS method which applied to reduce the dimensionality of data. this collaboration aims to make use of the major advantages each one presents, by simultaneously complementing each other, in order to elevate their weak points. By using classifier approaches such as random forest,the proposed combinative descriptor is compared with the state of the art combinative methods based on Gray-Level Co-occurrence matrix and moment invariant on two benchmark dataset MPEG-7 CE-Shape-1, Enghlishfnt. The experiments have shown the superiority of the introduced descriptor over the GLCM moment invariants from the literature.

This encouraged other countries particularly the Republic of Sudan to use technology tools to enhance their educational institutions. This study aims at exploring to what extent Sudanese government universities are using the information communication technology tools in education. About 6011 teachers in 8 selected universities responded to the distributed questionnaire. Additionally, the data were analyzed using a statistical analysis to get frequencies and mean scores. The results of this study indicated that Sudanese government universities vary in the level of using the technology tools as well as the variance in the types of technological implications. These results reflected that Sudanese government universities still need to pay a great attention towards the use of information communication technology tools.

One of the reasons is the main focus of the curriculum presented in an introductory programming (IP) course which emphasizes more on the programming knowledge (syntax and semantic) of the programming language. This study introduced a new teaching curriculum in the IP course, which focuses on different skills required by the novices. We compared the IP course materials based on the traditional and new approaches against five categories. The result shows that the new approach encourages both the programming knowledge and problem solving strategies, and promotes deep learning. Furthermore, it discourages programming shortcut (Problem statement → Code), and support three-step approach (Problem statement → Solution Plans → Code) in solving a problem statement. The new approach also promotes algorithmic thinking in the IP course by paying equal attention on the problem solving strategies.

I have chosen Iraq because there is no trust at all with this kind of service, so you cannot find any online apps or websites in this country. Because of the fact that I will take this topic, and everything belongs to it by consideration in order to enter this part (Iraq market-online service). The trust is a key point of any business so that new way of shopping which will take it as a study community for many reasons. First of all, Iraq community does not have this kind of service or it is very limited. secondly, because I'm working in this part as a (customer service-in online shopping website which took Gulf countries as a target) in a website which has a target Arab country, when I'm talking to the customers first question is (who to approve that your products are original?) Last but not least, I'm working on this part in my life and I'm almost done with this kind of service to enter to Iraq market depending on my huge experience with Iraq community and find a good channel to build a perfect level of trust. To sum up, online shopping is a good way to increase the sales also find a new communication channels with customers depending on the large amount of experience in the world, I want to take all these points by consideration in order to create a new online method in this part of the word.

Framework of information security governance ensures successful management of information security risk and oversight, and helps to protect an organization's information. However , no standard or common criteria have been specified to help organizations in evaluating and selecting the proper cloud computing information security governance framework. Hence, this paper aims to identified the main and sub criteria to help organizations for evaluating the target frameworks. To achieve this aim, a critical review has been conducted to identify the current frameworks. The related frameworks are analyzed to indicate and identify the main and sub criteria that can be used to evaluate the current frameworks and facilitate the frameworks selection process. All criteria will be subjected to an evaluation process via interviews with specialists to define the criteria significance and capability in evaluating and differentiating the existing frameworks. The interview data is analyzed using content analysis method. The analysis of interviews data has found that all the experts agreed that main and sub criteria are very important, 20% of them indicated that these criteria are essential but lack to other sub-criteria such as awareness, valuation of assets and documents control. Furthermore, 70% of the experts indicated that it is difficult to rank the criteria because they have the same importance. Following that, it is recommended that a considerable work is still needed to specify a proper selection method of a suitable cloud computing information security governance framework based on standard or common criteria.

One early step in achieving this goal is to implement a correct electronic document system for e-government agencies, which plays a crucial and important role in storing, processing, and managing data flow in an effective manner. However, this system in Iraq did not see the light so far even it is a strategic objective of e-government. This paper attempts to investigate the technological and human challenges that hinder the implementation of such system to support Iraqi e-government in overriding those challenges and speeding up its initiatives. The paper has utilized a quantitative approach via survey questionnaire from various public and private sectors at Tikrit city in Provence Salah al din to achieve its goal. The results indicate several challenges such as economic, computer illiteracy, technology acceptance, training and lack of series implementation steps by government.

Password is one of the most significant mechanisms which diagnose the authorized user from others. However, it is facing many problems such as spoofing and man in the middle attack(MitMA). When unauthorized user has got the correct password. Then, this user would be able to access into the data and change previous password which causes significant loss in efforts and cost. Similarly, the hacker "who don't have a password" is also trying to penetrate the system through predicted a set of words. In fact, both of authorized and hacker users work to input a wrong password, but authorized user may have only one or two wrong characters while the hacker inputs a whole wrong password. The aim of this paper, established an algorithm under the name of "Confidence Range ". The main tasks of this algorithm are monitoring all the activities which associated with the password on time, error, and style to the authorized user to recognize any suspicious activity. For that reason, a unique EPSB, " Electronic Personal Synthesis Behavior " , has been generated to the authorized user by the application of confidence range algorithm.
