The subject matter, as well as the objectives of this article, was the usage and the modelling of the rainwater management process using artificial intelligence. The article deals with the research on how and why water should be used more effectively whether it is rainwater or greywater. In Slovakia, the usage of rainwater or greywater is not so popular. However, such usage has many advantages from an ecological, economical and technical viewpoint. In this article, a proposal was created of rainwater usage in a school building and this usage was realized by using Fuzzy cognitive maps. Fuzzy cognitive maps represent a well-oriented and evaluated diagram and it helped us to create a concrete process of water usage. The output of this experiment will be the decision system for the most effective use of water in a building, as well as the most effective way for the recycling of wastewater in buildings.

Colour studies have generated much confusion in art and design education, particularly among students of the discipline in Nigeria. This is due to the complexity of the subject matter itself, wide-range of available materials and a variety of concepts developed in its multi-disciplinarity that is not kept distinct. Therefore, this paper utilizes a qualitative approach that employs the critical, historical, and analytic examination to provide clarification on the constructive and expressive aspects of colour studies. The paper introduces the reader to the pivotal role of colour and its multi-disciplinary interest. Also, it adequately clarifies paradigms and theories in the physical, psychophysical and psychological domains with particular emphasis on areas of practical value to art and design. Moreover, it considers the numeric adaptation of the colour wheel to a set of numbers for harmonic relationship. And it ends with the need for artists and designers to comprehensively grasp the contextual behaviour of colour and develop colour originality through creative construction and effective use in order to successfully express themselves in colour.

Decision Tasks

This paper deals with the design of an integrated decision-making system for robot soccer. Three main tasks groups of decision-making are discussed based on an analysis of artificial intelligence means used by individual teams – choice of playing strategy, navigation, and kicking. The paper shows that crisp splitting of these decision-making groups is suspicious, and, instead, the use of a convenient implementation means to keep them together is recommended. In this case, fuzzy cognitive maps are introduced whose role is to integrate decision tasks, which is the main contribution of this paper. The paper describes a new design for kicking decisions. The system was successfully tested in the simulator Webots and some concluding remarks are made.

An Intelligent Systems subject is offered in the final year of the Computer Science degree. The subject includes a diverse selection of topics in artificial intelligence and intelligent agents. The paper reflects on an innovative approach to the implementation of this subject. The development of the approach drew on educational research and the Informing Science paradigm. The aims of the approach included enga g-ing students in active learning, integrating theory with practice, and presenting the subject matter in an effective way. An innovative aspect of the approach was participatory teaching, i.e. students acting as guest lecturers and workshop presenters. The paper presents evaluation results indicating that the aims of the approach were achieved to a large extent.

Empathic buildings are intelligent ones that aim to measure and execute the best user experience. A smoother and intuitive environment leads to a better mood. The system gathers data from sensors that measure things like air quality, occupancy, noise and analyse it for the better experience of the users. This research proposes an artificial intelligence-based approach to detect synthetic emotions based on Thayer’s emotional model and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. This emotional model is based on a biopsychological approach to the analysis of the humans’ emotional state. In this research, Fuzzy Grey Cognitive Maps are used, which are an extension of the fuzzy cognitive maps using the grey systems theory to model uncertainty. Fuzzy Cognitive Grey Maps (FGCMs) have become a very valuable theory for modeling high-uncertainty systems when small and incomplete discrete data sets are available. This research includes experiments with a couple of synthetic case studies for testing this proposal. This proposal provides an innovative way for simulating synthetic emotions and designing an empathic building.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

An outline has been presented in historical fashion of the steps devised to organize the central core of medical information allowing the subject matter, the patient, to define the nature and the progression of the diseases from which he suffers, with and without therapy; and approaches have been made to organize this information in such fashion as to align the definitions in orderly fashion to teach both diagnostic strategy and the content of the diseases by programmed instruction.

This article is aimed to examine the extent of the application of Islamic legal objectives by Sheikh Abdullah bn Fudi in his rejoinder against one of their contemporary scholars who accused them of being over-liberal about the religion. He claimed that there has been a careless intermingling of men and women in the preaching and counselling gathering they used to hold, under the leadership of Sheikh Uthman bn Fudi (the Islamic reformer of the nineteenth century in Nigeria and West Africa). Thus, in this study, the researchers seek to answer the following interrogations: who was Abdullah bn Fudi? who was their critic? what was the subject matter of the criticism? How did the rebutter get equipped with some guidelines of higher objectives of Sharĩʻah in his rejoinder to the critic? To this end, this study had tackled the questions afore-stated by using inductive, descriptive and analytical methods to identify the personalities involved, define and analyze some concepts and matters considered as the hub of the study.
