ICT Usage in School Finance Management of Selected Secondary Schools in Mbarara City. by Karamuzi, Beende Richard

“…The result showed that internet, projector, interactive whiteboard, E-library, computers (with printers), and peripherals: scanners, webcams, digital cameras, and LAN had a significant and positive impact on school finance management practices (B = 1.618, t = 7.868, P < 0.000). For this reason, the null hypothesis was rejected based on the evidence that the p-value was smaller than the significance level, and an alternative hypothesis was supported that there was a significant relationship between ICT Usage and finance management practices in selected public secondary schools in Mbarara City. …”

Moving beyond post hoc explainable artificial intelligence: a perspective paper on lessons learned from dynamical climate modeling by R. J. O'Loughlin, D. Li, R. Neale, T. A. O'Brien, T. A. O'Brien

“…We propose three types of understanding as a basis to evaluate trust in dynamical and AI models alike: (1) instrumental understanding, which is obtained when a model has passed a functional test; (2) statistical understanding, obtained when researchers can make sense of the modeling results using statistical techniques to identify input–output relationships; and (3) component-level understanding, which refers to modelers' ability to point to specific model components or parts in the model architecture as the culprit for erratic model behaviors or as the crucial reason why the model functions well. We demonstrate how component-level understanding has been sought and achieved via climate model intercomparison projects over the past several decades. …”
