INTRODUCTION The relationship between growth in population and consumption and common-pool resources, particularly those that are governed under common-property institutions, has been the subject of lively academic debate. Researchers have long dwelled upon the global demographic transition and its effect on land-tenure and inheritance practices in different regions of the world. Boserup postul...

In ontological theories, is-a hierarchy must represent the essential property of things and hence should be single-inheritance, since the essential property of things cannot exist in multiple. However, we cannot avoid multiperspective issues when we build an ontology because the user often want to understand things from their own viewpoints. Especially, in the Semantic Web, the variety of users...

With increasingly complex, sophisticated and changing realworld situations, it has been recognized that expert systems which combine one or more techniques greatly increase the problem solving capability and help overcome some of the shortcomings associated with any single technique. The verification of these expert systems requires methods that could tackle the multiple knowledge representatio...

We introduce an inheritance property and related table lookup structures applicable to simplified evaluation of the modular operations “multiplicative inverse”, “discrete log”, and “exponential residue” in the particular modulus 2. Regarding applications, we describe an integer representation system of Benschop for transforming integer multiplications into additions which benefits from our tabl...

Malaysians still underestimate the management of inheritance distribution. This can be seen every year in newspapers about issue freeze which has now reached almost RM90 billion unclaimed real estate value. Another critical problem is when there a mandatory understanding or belief settlement faraid method among heirs. There nothing wrong if you want to stick method, but are circumstances that l...

It has been increasingly recognized over recent years that expert systems which combine one or more techniques greatly increase the problem solving capability and help overcome some of the shortcomings associated with any single technique. The verification of these expert systems requires methods which could tackle the multiple knowledge representation paradigms and integrated inference mechani...

Indigenous Kampar communities, such as those in Bangkinang Sub-district, basically adhere to the principle of matrilineal kinship, therefore each individual draws their lineage FROM mother's side. The majority indigenous people sub-district are Muslims. They have "Adat Bersendi Syarak, Syarak Kitabullah", it can be seen that law applies adat is customary cannot separated from Islamic teachings....
