Credit cards have become an essential element in the banking industry. Credit cards add a significant value for the banks. Mining credit cards can find interesting patterns among different variables that may be used in the future by the policy makers for building their future policy. In this study, we have investigated the credit card-holder's behavior in order to predict the market segmentation. An online questionnaire survey regarding credit card usage has been used for data collection. Two techniques have been applied on the collected data, Decision Trees and K-means through the use of training and testing sets. Results indicated how people are grouped based on their income which in turn will help in building the appropriate decision on which region needs to be targeted. Moreover, results revealed different work sectors for the credit card-holders and which type of credit card is used with regard to their income.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new concept that allows objects to be connected to Internet. This connectivity allows the emergence of new forms of interaction between objects and people. In educational environments the IoT could be applied to improve teaching and learning experiences. This paper proposes a new architecture for integrating objects available in educational environments with virtual academic communities (VAC). This new architecture is based on the paradigm of layered architectures and architectural styles such as REST. The proposed architecture consists of four layers: hardware/communications, messaging, services, and application. Test of the proposed architecture were made through the implementation of a case study, which was focused on practical classes of a typical digital electronics course.

Calligraphy is the first art of the Arabic language, which is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, by more than 422 million people around the world. More than 12 major languages and other some languages, including micro-branching, are written in Arabic letters. Several million Muslims consider it as a part of their faith, away from the local national languages. This research aims to propose an educational software program that learns the basic skills of writing Arabic "Riqaa" script, using modern communication methods, to encourage new generations learning the art of calligraphy. The proposal presented specifications of the basic tools needed for training, namely: the electronic calligraphy writing pen, the electronic board, in addition to the characterization of the nature of the educational software which will be designed in two phases: Teaching and learning phase, and the evaluation phase. Many important recommendations are included in the paper to pay more attention to the art of calligraphy and the dissemination of aesthetics as one of the sources of cultural pride, and one of the most important pillars to build the cultural identity of Muslims.

Social Networking Media is one of the most growing platforms used for direct communication, and for collaboration between many users worldwide across geographical, political or economic borders. Universities are becoming more depending on such platforms for E-learning. Nowadays public social networking media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Blogs, etc., are wide used at the universities. Each university has at least a page on Facebook, and a Twitter account. Although the wide spread of these platforms among universities, they still prefer to depend on Private Social Networking Media instead of public ones especially for the education purpose. The persistence of the open source application, their efficiencies, and their ease of use leaded the universities to depend more and more on them. Finding a free private social network platform for education is a hard work, but essential for universities. In fact free platform is needed to minimize the budget, and the private platform to control the content of the social network. The goal of our study is to find a free private open source social networking media that can be used at universities for education purpose.

It has been shown that secure communication between two partners can be achieved with devices containing components with quantum properties. While such devices are in timid stages of practical availability, the quantum properties exhibited are well defined theoretically: quantum bits (qubits) in persistent quantum states, quantum transformations or gates applicable on qubits, and quantum communication channels between devices. The present paper measures and verifies by simulation a security level of a quantum communication protocol that does not use an encryption/decryption key. The algorithm is simpler than the two-step protocols that involve the distribution of a secret key first. Our simulations measure the security level of the protocol depending on several parameters: the number of encoding bases (two or three), the length of the signature string attached to the message, the percentage of qubits the eavesdropper inspects, etc.

Web 2.0 platforms are seen to have an emerging role in transforming teaching and learning. Specific technologies and services contributing to higher education include blogs, micro blogs, wikis, and the syndication of content through RSS, social bookmarking, media sharing, social networking sites and other social software collaborations. These can aid educators to teach by providing tools that help creativity, collaboration, motivation, and critical thinking skills, and aid students to learn in a style they are comfortable with. With applications such as Facebook, YouTube, blogging, podcasting, online discussions, and wikis, teachers and students are finding new ways to create innovative and exciting learning opportunities in worldwide academia. These tools are very popular among students for a variety of reasons. One reason is that Web 2.0 tools are free to use and easily accessible. Since they are web based, students and teachers are no longer limited to collaborating within the walls of the classroom. This case study forms part of doctoral research investigating how e-learning is developing at one university in Saudi Arabia. The paper aims to explore whether the use of Web 2 enhances teaching and learning, the means of delivering content, and the mode of communication with others. Why should we be using Web 2 technologies for teaching and learning in higher education?
Web 2.0平台在改变教与学的过程中扮演着越来越重要的角色。对高等教育做出贡献的具体技术和服务包括博客、微博客、维基，以及通过RSS、社会书签、媒体共享、社会网络站点和其他社会软件协作的内容联合。这些工具可以帮助教育工作者通过提供帮助创造力、协作、动机和批判性思维技能的工具来教学，并帮助学生以他们喜欢的方式学习。有了Facebook、YouTube、博客、播客、在线讨论和维基百科等应用程序，教师和学生正在寻找新的方法，在全球学术界创造创新和令人兴奋的学习机会。由于各种原因，这些工具在学生中非常受欢迎。原因之一是Web 2.0工具可以免费使用并且易于访问。由于它们是基于网络的，学生和老师不再局限于在教室的墙壁内合作。本案例研究是博士研究的一部分，该研究调查了沙特阿拉伯一所大学的电子学习发展情况。本文旨在探讨web2的使用是否能改善教学、内容的传递方式以及与他人的交流模式。为什么我们应该在高等教育中使用Web 2技术进行教学?
