In the past two decades, a significant amount of research has been conducted in the area of information extraction from heterogeneous remotely sensed (RS) datasets. However, it is arduous to exactly predict the behaviour of the classification technique employed due to issues such as the type of the dataset, resolution of the imagery, the presence of mixed pixels, and spectrally overlapping of classes. In this paper, land cover classification of the heterogeneous dataset using classical and Fuzzy based Maximum Likelihood Classifiers (MLC) is presented and compared. Three decision parameters and their significance in pixel assignment is illustrated. The presented Fuzzy based MLC uses a weighted inverse distance measure for defuzzification process. 10 pixels were randomly selected from the study area to illustrate pixel assignment for both the classifiers. The study aims at enhancing the classification accuracy of heterogeneous multispectral remote sensor data characterized by spectrally overlapping classes and mixed pixels. The study additionally aims at obtaining classification results with a confidence level of 95% with ±4% error margin. Classification success rate was analysed using accuracy assessment. Fuzzy based MLC produced significantly higher classification accuracy as compared to classical MLC. The conducted research achieves the expected classification accuracy and proves to be a valuable technique for classification of heterogeneous RS multispectral imagery.

Unexplained Symptoms

This article explores the making and management of anomaly in scientific work, taking ‘medically unexplained symptoms’ (MUS) as its case. MUS is a category used to characterize health conditions that are widely held to be ambiguous, in terms of their nature, causes and treatment. It has been suggested that MUS is a ‘wastebasket diagnosis’. However, although a powerful metaphor, it does neither the category nor the profession justice: Unlike waste in a wastebasket, unexplained symptoms are not discarded but contained, not ejected but managed. Rather than a ‘wastebasket’, I propose that we instead think about it as a ‘junk drawer’. A junk drawer is an ordering device whose function is the containment of things we want to keep but have nowhere else to put. Based on a critical document analysis of the research literature on MUS (107 research articles from 10 medical journals, published 2001–2016), the article explores how the MUS category is constituted and managed as a junk drawer in medical science.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to present a framework regarding the use of Sharīʿah non-compliant assets as rahn (pledge) and to provide the Sharīʿah analysis on the application of numerous collateral instruments, including financial assets such as shares, unit trusts, current accounts and investment accounts which are Sharīʿah non-compliant. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a library-based approach to examine the concept and requirements of rahn, deliberate the classification of Sharīʿah non-compliant assets and delineate the Sharīʿah views on the use of Sharīʿah non-compliant assets as pledges. It also examines the various forms of pledge available and offered in the market using document analysis as well as through discussion with industry practitioners. Findings In general, the study concludes that Sharīʿah non-compliant assets, either due to their essence or due to the means of acquisition where there is no ownership from Sharīʿah perspective, cannot be used as rahn. This study also provides the Sharīʿah analysis on the use of modern instruments such as shares, unit trusts, current accounts, investment accounts and insurance policy as pledges. Originality/value The paper provides a reference source for regulators in formulating an appropriate policy and framework on Sharīʿah-compliant collateral; Sharīʿah committees of Islamic financial institutions in arriving at Sharīʿah decisions on collateral; and industry practitioners in establishing internal policies and procedures on collateral.

An all-rounder can take an imperative role in any version of the game of cricket, whether it is a test match or any other limited-over format of the game. The study classifies the performance of all-rounders who participated in IPL based on their strike rate and economy rate. Based on the factors mentioned, the all-rounders can be divided into four non-overlapping classes, viz., Performer, Batting All-rounder, Bowling All-rounder, and Under-performer. Several predictor variables that are supposed to influence the performance of all-rounders are considered. Step-wise multinomial logistic regression (SMLR) is used to identify the significant predictors. Samples of six incumbent all-rounders who had not participated in the first three seasons of IPL are considered. The significant predictors were then used to predict the expected class of an incumbent all-rounder using naive Bayesian classification model. The relevant data were collected from the websites, www.cricinfo.org and www.cricketnirvana.com. The key points of this study are as follows: The training sample is populated with 35 all-rounders who had performed in the first three seasons of IPL. Two variables, viz., strike rate (number of runs scored per 100 balls faced) and economy rate (average number of runs scored per over against the bowler) are used to classify the all-rounders as follows: Performer: An all-rounder with strike rate above median and economy rate below median. Batting All-rounder: An all-rounder with strike rate above median and economy rate above median. Bowling All-rounder: An all-rounder with strike rate below median and economy rate below median. Under-performer: An all-rounder with strike rate below median and economy rate above median. The step-wise multinomial logistic regression (SMLR) was used to identify the significant variables that are actually responsible for classification of the all-rounders. The strike rate in ODI, strike rate in Twenty-20, economy rate in ODI, economy rate in Twenty-20 and bowling type (Spin or Fast) of the all-rounders are found to be significant in determining the class of an all-rounder. The naive Bayesian classification model is used for forecasting the expected class of allrounders based on the significant predictors for six incumbent all-rounders who had played only in fourth season of IPL. The prediction done before IPL IV was then compared with the actual situation at the end of the tournament. It is found that four predictions were performed correctly out of the six. This model would be useful for the participating teams' management while deciding the bid of an all-rounder in the upcoming season of IPL as per their requirement.

Mathematical thinking (MT) has been one of the most important goals for mathematics education as it can support sustainable mathematics learning. Its role in school mathematics has recently been explicitly identified as one of “Four Basics” in the latest national curriculum standard for compulsory education, which is seen as one of the prominent features of Chinese mathematics education. This paper reviewed definitions, descriptions, and explanations from a historical perspective and aimed to provide a comprehensive and contemporary conceptualization for MT in a Chinese context, which can be applied as a comparison to MT in English works. To achieve this, document analysis was applied in this study. Major official documents, papers, and books were reviewed to see the process of MT conceptualization given by the policy makers and researchers. Results indicated that MT places more emphasis on the process of mathematical methods application in problem solving, such as the method of combination of symbolic and graphic mathematics. Mathematical thought is also recommended by Chinese researchers to help students think like mathematicians. Another major characteristic is that the classification of major types of MT is usually focused on that which can make the concept more understandable.
