Translation & Adaptation of(Patterns) & (Assembly) Scales of The Flanagan Aptitude Classification Tests (FACT)
...Show More Authors

The Flanagan Aptitude Classification Tests (FACT) assesses aptitudes that are important for successful performance of particular job-related tasks. An individual's aptitude can then be matched to the job tasks. The FACT helps to determine the tasks in which a person has proficiency. Each test measures a specific skill that is important for particular occupations. The FACT battery is designed to provide measures of an individual's aptitude for each of 16 job elements.

The FACT consists of 16 tests used to measure aptitudes that are important for the successful performance of many occupational tasks. The tests provide a broad basis for predicting success in various occupational fields. All are paper and pencil tests that can be given to an individual or to a large group by a single examiner.

Each of the 16 tests in the FACT series is printed in a separate booklet. This allows the tests to be administered individually or as a complete battery. One of these tests is (Patterns Scale & Assembly Scale), which consists of different shapes that needs an answer.

The Flanagan Aptitude Classification Tests have been used in a wide variety of organizations. These include industrial and business firms, educational institu­tions, hospitals, nursing schools and various governmental institutions. The FACT may be used for selection, placement, reclassification and vocational counseling. There are a recommended tests for 37 occupational areas, as well as general college aptitude, all of these tests are listed in the original manual of the (FACT Battery)

Selection and Placement: The FACT may be used individually or as a partial or complete battery to aid in selection and placement. If used in selection, the battery can be a valuable aid in determining if the applicant has the capacity to learn the job requirements. If used in placement, the battery can identify individuals who have more ability and aptitude that fit the requirements of one job better than another. A person who has a high aptitude for engineering, for example, should be able to learn the skills of engineering quickly and enjoy above-average success as an engineer. An individual with a low aptitude for engineering will probably have difficulty in learning engineering skills. Different occupations require different test combinations to assess the specific job-related skills necessary to perform adequately in each position.

Vocational Counseling: The FACT can be administered to individuals or to a large group. Selected individual tests of the battery may be administered if desired. Selected tests from the FACT battery may be used with an individual who has tentatively decided upon a vocation. The occupational Stanine score, discussed in this study, provides an index of probable success in the vocation. A high score indicates high abilities in that area. Conversely, a low score indicates low abilities in that area. FACT scores can help both the individual and the counselor in providing realistic vocational planning.

Vocational Classes: The FACT may also be used in school courses for vocational planning. After the students have completed the FACT, each student should compute his or her occupational Stanine scores. These scores can then be the focus of discussion centering both on explanation and interpretation. The FACT scores provide students with an increased self-understanding of their vocational aptitudes. A student can then make wiser vocational decisions by matching his/her abilities with the requirements of a job. Overall, the FACT scores provide highly valuable information for individual vocational planning and broad school programs for vocational guidance.

From the above introduction, the importance of this study arises, and the study aimed to translate and make an adaptation of (Patterns Scale & Assembly Scale) to be a valid and reliable instruments for the Iraqi population.

After getting through the procedures of this study, the above-mentioned Scales has been translated and adapted for the Iraqi environment according to the international standards for translations and adaptations of psychological assessments, and resulting an Arabic valid and reliable version suitable for the Iraqi environment. The research outcomes also with some recommendations & suggestions.

Self-Localization of Guide Robots Through Image Classification
...Show More Authors

The field of autonomous robotic systems has advanced tremendously in the last few years, allowing them to perform complicated tasks in various contexts. One of the most important and useful applications of guide robots is the support of the blind. The successful implementation of this study requires a more accurate and powerful self-localization system for guide robots in indoor environments. This paper proposes a self-localization system for guide robots.  To successfully implement this study, images were collected from the perspective of a robot inside a room, and a deep learning system such as a convolutional neural network (CNN) was used. An image-based self-localization guide robot image-classification system delivers a more accura

Image Classification Using Bag of Visual Words (BoVW)
...Show More Authors

In this paper two main stages for image classification has been presented. Training stage consists of collecting images of interest, and apply BOVW on these images (features extraction and description using SIFT, and vocabulary generation), while testing stage classifies a new unlabeled image using nearest neighbor classification method for features descriptor. Supervised bag of visual words gives good result that are present clearly in the experimental part where unlabeled images are classified although small number of images are used in the training process.

Prioritized Text Detergent: Comparing Two Judgment Scales of Analytic Hierarchy Process on Prioritizing Pre-Processing Techniques on Social Media Sentiment Analysis
...Show More Authors

Most companies use social media data for business. Sentiment analysis automatically gathers analyses and summarizes this type of data. Managing unstructured social media data is difficult. Noisy data is a challenge to sentiment analysis. Since over 50% of the sentiment analysis process is data pre-processing, processing big social media data is challenging too. If pre-processing is carried out correctly, data accuracy may improve. Also, sentiment analysis workflow is highly dependent. Because no pre-processing technique works well in all situations or with all data sources, choosing the most important ones is crucial. Prioritization is an excellent technique for choosing the most important ones. As one of many Multi-Criteria Decision Mak

Translating Poetry: Possibility or Impossibility?
...Show More Authors

Translating poetry is considered one of the most complicated types of translations. It
encounters many difficulties, the most important of which is the question of possibility or
impossibility of translating poetry. So, it is better to start by asking the following question: is
the translation of poetry possible? Or is it impossible? It is definitely a rhetorical question
because translation is as old as the presence of translated texts, which fills the shelves of
libraries. One can ask despite these difficulties, who would discourage people of the world
from translating poetry merely because it is fundamentally impossible? (Mann, 1970: 211)
The present paper will elaborate, in more detail, upon the necessary traits
