Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of this study is to explore the critical issues that impede an effective implementation of information communication technology (ICT) as related to higher education (HE) in Morocco. An e-readiness survey based on Harvard e-readiness assessment framework is administered in order to check the role of university in getting Morocco e-ready. First, a diagnosis is done at the level of preparedness of Moroccan institutions in networked areas of access, society, economy and policy. The data was collected from the annual reports of Moroccan Telecommunications regulations agency (ANRT), reports from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Global Information Technology Report (NRI), quantitative and qualitative surveys from previous research studies, and statistical websites. The findings reveal that Morocco has, apart from networked economy and local digital content, a fairly advanced e-readiness status in other indicators in the model of Harvard Centre of International Development. Ironically, such findings show that it is the Moroccan university that needs to catch up with society.

Higher education over the past decade has experienced several view changes that include: paradigm shift, management and competition changes, and so forth. The only university supported by the excellent IT that will be able to enhance and maintain its advantages. The purpose of this article is reviewing the strategic design of IT implementation at the university. The analysis used to reveal the fact, problem and problem-solving in this article adopts the model of Strategic Management of Information Technology (SMIT) developed by Flodström. The strategy design of IT implementation based on the competitive environment of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung is coordinated with its business strategy. The role of IT as an enabler or tool that allow the university to be able to create cheaper-better-faster educational process. In this article, there are designed two types of IT Functions: back office and front office. For back office application function, there is a software management with specific modules to support the implementation of university management. In the front office function of IT usage, there are some types of IT usage concepts that directly and indirectly affect the way of establishing education that leads to quality improvement which can be implemented through: media simulation, course management, virtual class, computer-based training (CBT), knowledge portal and cyber community. The strategic design of IT implementation presented in this article is a generic model of the plan, design, and implementation of IT in the object of study.

Full textAbstract:
We investigate whether university technology transfer offices, that is, divisions responsible for the commercialization of academic research, imitate their industry peers when designing their commercialization strategy. We borrow from information-based theories of imitation and the literature on academic entrepreneurship to argue that given a technology transfer office’s autonomy to strategize independently from its parent university, information from within and outside the technology transfer office affects its propensity to imitate the commercialization strategy of the “most successful peers,” that is, those with the largest live spinoff portfolio and greatest revenues from spinoffs in the industry. We contend that a technology transfer office’s experience, that is, a function of its age, represents a key internal source of information for the technology transfer office when deciding whether to imitate or not; we also consider the technology transfer office’s embeddedness in a network where the most successful peer is also a member as a key external source of information. From data on 86 British university technology transfer offices and their commercialization strategies between 1993 and 2007 that were drawn from both secondary sources and in-depth interviews with technology transfer office managers, we find that there is a negative relationship between technology transfer offices’ autonomy and their level of imitation of the most successful technology transfer office’s strategy, and that this relationship is moderated by the technology transfer offices’ age and by their membership into an association where the most successful technology transfer office is also a member.

Full textAbstract:
The Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology is the third oldest University in Nueva Ecija province. As the year progresses, the University keeps producing thousands of graduates during each academic year. An average of 4,737 individuals graduated from different programs during the past five years. The University is obligated by the Commission on Higher Education to collect up-to-date data and information through the CHECK system. Unfortunately, the office of alumni affairs and placement, which is in charge to collect and manage the graduates' information, does not have an automated alumni database system. This paper presents the development of an alumni databank. The online database record management system for alumni considerably benefits the University's Alumni Affairs and Placement Office, particularly in tracing its graduates and managing graduates' profile information. It can manage alumni profiles, notify graduates of job advertisements, and is capable of generating statistical reports with data analytics. Security measures were also employed to protect against any potential system breach and unauthorized use.

In this thesis I have developed a map of Healthcare Information Technology applications used in the United States for care delivery, healthcare enterprise management, clinical support, research and patient engagement. No attempt has previously been made to develop such a taxonomy for use by healthcare policy makers and on-the-spot decision makers. Using my own fifteen years of experience in HIT, along with an extensive set of literature reviews, interviews and on-site research I assembled lists of applications and organized them into categories based on primary workflows. Seven categories of HIT systems emerged, which are Practice Tools, Advisory Tools, Financial Tools, Remote Healthcare Tools, Clinical Research Tools, Health 2.0 Tools and Enterprise Clinical Analytics, each of which have different operational characteristics and user communities. The results of this pilot study demonstrate that a map is possible. The draft map presented here will allow researchers and investors to focus on developing the next generation of HIT tools, including software platforms that orchestrate a variety of healthcare transactions, and will support policy makers as they consider the impact of Federal funding for HIT deployment and adoption. Further studies will refine the map, adding an additional level of detail below the seven categories established here, thus supporting tactical decision making at the hospital and medical practice level.

Patients and their family members are increasingly turning to the Internet for health information. However, the search strategies consumers are using to obtain information are often unsuccessful. Since some patients are using the information they obtain to influence health decisions, it is increasingly important to identify strategies that aid consumer access to quality information to address their needs. Three different strategies to improve consumer health information retrieval are explored in this thesis, and suggestions for the application of these tactics and incorporation into healthcare delivery are discussed. Consumers have the option to choose between medically specific web sites and generic search engines with the whole Internet as their search space. For this project, a rigorous comparison of Internet searches in these two scopes was conducted to determine which search scope provides better returns. No statistical difference was found between the two different scopes, but several pros and cons of each were identified. Queries generated by consumers to initiate a free-text Internet search are often too short or too general to be effective. Additionally, consumers often employ vocabulary that does not match the terminology of health content. For this research, reformulation of original consumer queries using professional terminology was explored. A trend was noted towards increased search precision when substitutions were provided for lay terms, abbreviations, and acronyms, though performance often worsened when reformulated queries contained ill-fitted or arcane terminology. It is essential to study information needs to devise strategies to support consumer health information retrieval. The specific needs of asthma patients
(cont.) and the extent they can be met by Internet resources are the focus of the final chapter of this thesis. To ascertain their information needs, asthma patients were interviewed before and after a clinical visit. The answers to these needs were then sought in a website limited to quality asthma content. Though many of the questions are answered during a clinical visit, a large proportion of patients leave the clinic with unanswered questions. Half of the needs expressed by patients were answered by the website.

It is widely believed that healthcare information technology (health IT) can improve care and lower costs. However, the pattern and uptake of beneficial features of health IT is poorly understood, and is an important part of realizing the full benefits of health IT. This thesis examines the factors relating to adoption and use of reporting features within an outpatient practice management system. A retrospective observational study was performed utilizing web log data from a practice management and electronic health record system vendor. Two years of data were analyzed on the use of features within the system in two different scenarios: the use of a newly released custom reporting feature among existing clients, and the use of a physician-level monthly report among new clients. Among these two different populations and features, the first use and subsequent utilization exhibited similar patterns. Using the Bass model of technology diffusion to quantify the adoption of these features, it was found that adoption had a low social component (coefficient of imitation) and a high personal component (coefficient of innovation). One physician's use of a feature in his practice did not appear to influence whether a new physician joining the same practice would use the feature. In addition, the earliest users of a feature tended to utilize that feature more often. Practices and providers that used these features performed better across three of four operational and financial metrics. The purchase and installation of a health IT system by an organization does not ensure that individuals within it will fully utilize the system and realize all the benefits.
(cont.) Incentives for health IT should focus on the advantages gained from these systems, and not merely on their purchase. Health IT vendors should be cognizant of the way they introduce new functionality to their clients in order to ensure maximal use.

Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients in resource-poor settings experience large delays in starting appropriate drug regimens and are often not monitored appropriately due to an overburdened health care system, communication delays, and missing or error-prone data. Medical information systems can be used to alleviate these problems by increasing the timeliness and quality of laboratory information available. The research reported in this thesis developed, implemented, and evaluated two such systems in the urban, resource-poor setting of Lima, Peru in institutions with and without internet. The first part addresses the electronic collection of tuberculosis (TB) laboratory information from multiple institutions without internet. A handheld computer-based system was developed and implemented. A cluster randomized controlled trial and before-and-after comparison showed that this system had a significant effect in reducing processing times from 23 to 8 days, the proportion of cultures with delays >90 days from 9.2% to 0.1%, the number of errors by 57.1%, and the work-hours necessary to process results by 60%. A cost and timeline framework was developed to allow other organizations in resource-poor settings to implement this technology. The second part addresses a web-based system, e-Chasqui, developed to provide electronic communication and reporting of TB laboratory information to health care personnel within institutions with internet. A cluster randomized controlled trial showed that access to e-Chasqui resulted in significantly less time to receipt of test results, a 56% reduction in tests taking over 60 days to arrive and a 98% reduction of results that never arrived, as well as a significantly faster time to culture conversion among patients in intervention versus control centers.
(cont.) These two parts describe verified medical informatics tools and an implementation methodology for settings both with and without internet connectivity.

One important purpose for creating clinical practice guidelines is to improve quality of care by reducing variations in practice. In the current healthcare environment, guidelines are being advocated as a means to disseminate research findings, standardize care, improve quality of care, and increase the cost-effectiveness of health care services. Unfortunately, compliance with text-based clinical practice guidelines is unsatisfactory. On the other hand, adherence to guideline recommendations is increased when providers receive patient-specific recommendations during the patient-provider consultation. Guideline-based point of care decision support systems have been shown to increase provider consultation. Guideline-based point of care decision support systems have been shown to increase provider adherence to guideline recommendations. Computer-interpretable formats for clinical practice guidelines are a prerequisite for decision support systems. The development process of a text-based clinical practice guideline is long and arduous and in most cases this process is repeated when text-based guidelines are revised to include new medical knowledge. Clearly, once text-based guideline knowledge is translated into a computer-interpretable format, the computer-interpretable guideline would also require periodic revisions to maintain the integrity of its evidence-base. Therefore, representation formalisms for encoding guideline knowledge into computer-interpretable formats should enable easy revisions of the encoded guidelines. This thesis describes a study I conducted to demonstrate that modular knowledge representation of clinical practice guidelines facilitates easy guideline revisions. To test the hypothesis
(cont.) hypothesis, I used a methodology for modular representation of guidelines, HieroGLIF, developed by Decision Systems Group, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Massachusetts. HieroGLIF uses Axiomatic Design theory to encode "guideline knowledge modules" into a hierarchical tree structure. Axiomatic Design theory was developed in the field of engineering as a principled approach to product design. I applied HieroGLIF to encode parts of three outdated guidelines. I revised these designs to model updated guideline releases. Quantitative metrics assessed the adequacy of the tool to encode generic setting-independent guidelines and to facilitate revisions in encoded guidelines without complete recoding of the model. This work explores the use of HieroGLIF and Axiomatic Design theory to facilitate revisions of computer-interpretable guidelines.

As a bacteria threatens to wipe out humankind, a plutocrat sets himself up as the benignant dictator of a survivalist colony. In this novel originally published in 1923, as denitrifying bacteria inimical to plant growth spreads around the world, toppling civilizations and threatening to wipe out humankind, the British plutocrat Nordenholt sets himself up as the benignant dictator of a ruthlessly efficient, entirely undemocratic, survivalist colony established in Scotland's Clyde Valley. Discovering just how far their employer is willing to go in his effort to spare one million lives, Jack Flint, the colony's director of operations, and Elsa Huntingtower, Nordenholt's personal assistant, are forced to grapple with the question of whether a noble end justifies dastardly means.

As soon as he became president, Bok set out to modernize Harvard’s central administration. His first move, recruiting a core of professional administrators, met with universal approval. In principle the administration simply provided services: financial, legal, health, information technology, food, real estate, personnel, development, government relations. But in practice this meant replacing Conant’s and Pusey’s low-keyed central “holding company” with a much more assertive, take-charge body of managers. As the number and agendas of the new bureaucrats grew, so did the tension between the faculty and the administration, between the more centralized direction of the University’s affairs and the venerable each-tub-on-its-own-bottom Harvard tradition. When Bok took office, the Harvard Corporation consisted of two recently elected academics, Charles Slichter of Illinois and John Morton Blum of Yale; two lawyers, Bostonian senior fellow Hooks Burr and Hugh Calkins of Cleveland; Socony-Mobil executive Albert Nickerson of New York; and Harvard’s treasurer, State Street banker George Bennett. By the time he left in 1991, all of them were gone, replaced by a heterogeneous mix ranging from Boston-New York businessmen (Gillette CEO Colman Mockler, Time publisher Andrew Heiskell, venture capitalist Robert G. Stone, Jr.) to Henry Rosovsky, the Corporation’s first Jewish fellow and its first Harvard faculty member since 1852, and Washington lawyer Judith Richards Hope, the first female fellow. Brahmin Boston had no representative on the Corporation that Bok bequeathed to his successor. During this time, too, three new treasurers came in quick succession: George Putnam, another State Street banker; Roderick MacDougall, a Bank of New England executive; and Ronald Daniel, a former partner in the conspicuously non-Old Boston consulting firm of McKinsey and Company. Across the board, old boys gave way to non-Brahmin newcomers. As both Harvard and its bureaucracy grew, the Corporation became more detached from the mundane realities of University governance. Streaming in from points south and west, the fellows met every two weeks on Monday mornings for a heavy schedule of reports, discussions, and meetings with the president and his chief administrative officers.

The Office of Information Technology at California State University, Fullerton is responsible for campus administrative mainframe and programming support, as well as for all mainframe applications such as the student records and financial accounting systems. Two campus organizations, University Extended Education and the Office of Analytical Studies rely heavily on the timeliness and accuracy of administration and student record data. These organizations have identified process improvements that are best met by client/server database applications. Due to limitations in the university’s Office of Information Technology support capabilities (budgetary and legacy system related), both University Extended Education and Analytical Studies have opted for internal database development while still relying on the Office of Information Technology’s mainframe data. This approach has resulted in increased local capabilities without the uncertainties related to working within an overloaded campus-wide Information Technology organization. Whether this approach is advantageous from an enterprise perspective remains to be seen.

Central Ridge University1 (CRU) is a large, research-oriented university composed of 10 major colleges, connecting over 15 branch campuses, and offering various continuing, distance, outreach and executive programs. One of the major colleges of CRU is The College of Business Administration (CBA). CBA maintains an optional internship program for its undergraduate and MBA populations. CBA strongly recommends its students to experience the corporate world by doing an internship before their graduation. Also, CBA students seek the internship experience to complement their academic courses. The Internship Office of CBA is charged with the responsibility of facilitating students’ contacts with corporate clients. In order to do so, the office must gather, record, and disseminate information to students and to corporations. In addition, the information must be kept private, accurate, and comprehensive. Typical information processes existing in the Internship Office relied heavily on paper entries, paper duplication, and mailings. However, in the Internship Office, the use of technology was lagging. An end user within the Internship Office was enlisted to develop an information technology solution to the paper-intensive tasks of the office. Issues of the case study include (1) the organizational behavior issues to overcome when implementing information technology even in an enthusiastic and sympathetic organization, (2) the difficulties in defining a system by an end user even a sophisticated one, and (3) the obstacles of implementing a satisfactory system under tight time and security constraints even with the cooperation of a systems department.

Full textAbstract:
A large, highly ranked public university implemented a requirement for all incoming undergraduates to own a laptop computer starting in fall, 2000. To control increased expenditures for information technology, this requirement has shifted some of the cost of technology to students by decreasing the need for centralized general-purpose computing laboratories. At the same time, a shift towards centralized academic computing support occurred. This shift was away from information technology resources, services and support based in individual departments. This shift, engineered by the newly formed office of the Chief Information Officer (CIO), was envisioned to generate cost savings through economies of scale. The educational impact of the laptop requirement is starting to be felt, but adoption is not widespread in daily classroom use. Envisioned cost savings have not yet become apparent. However, laptop ownership has enabled some new classroom activities and helped to reinforce the leading-edge image of the university.

This chapter explores the development of university-wide research data management conversations and collaborations involving key stakeholders at a Research 1 (R1) higher education institution in the southeastern United States of America. Research data management conversations led to collaborations of several key stakeholders across campus (i.e., university, office of research, research compliance office, information technology [IT], researchers, academic units, library) resulting in the development of an inaugural Supporting Data Management at University of Florida (UF) Proposal to the Office of Research draft document in 2019. Funding agencies, research foundations, and research associations increasingly request plans outlining how scientific data from funded research will be annotated, managed, shared, and stored. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) new Policy on Data Management and Sharing becomes effective January 25, 2023. The authors employed a participatory action research method to explore evolving aspects of the data science ecosystem, including research data management.

The study assessed the research data management (RDM) practices at Bindura University of Science Education (BUSE) with the aim of understanding how research data (RD) is managed. The study was prompted by lack of proper RDM policy. UK data archive research data lifecycle model was adopted in the study for benchmarking RDM practices at BUSE in line with international standards. The research used the interpretism approach and is qualitative in nature. Interviews were used to collect qualitative data from the Research and Postgraduate Centre (RPGC), deputy librarian, sub-librarian, and technology librarian. Quantitative data obtained from departmental chairpersons, assistant librarians, and chief library assistant was gathered by using questionnaires. The population was chosen using purposive sampling. The findings revealed that although respondents appreciated RDM practices, some researchers were managing their RD while RPGC was responsible for RD submitted to their office. The concept of RDM was relatively new to most researchers. The study recommended a policy guideline and training of researchers.

This book grew out of a chance discovery of an online memorial to an uncle I never knew. Reuben Peiss had been a librarian at Harvard when World War II began, and like many in academia, he was recruited into the Office of Strategic Services, the nation’s first intelligence agency. As a field agent based in Lisbon and Bern, he developed a network of book dealers and private individuals to acquire timely publications for intelligence analysis. When the Allies pushed into Germany, he worked with documents-gathering teams to uncover records of war crimes, caches of Nazi propaganda, and book collections buried in caves and mines. After the war, he headed an overseas mission of the Library of Congress to acquire works published in wartime Germany and occupied countries for American research libraries. When he returned, he worked in the State Department and taught at the library school of the University of California, Berkeley. Plagued with chronic illness, he lived a short life, dying in 1952 at age forty....

Without a department of geography, Harvard University established the Center for Geographic Analysis (CGA) in 2006 to support research and teaching of all disciplines across the University with emerging geospatial technologies. In the past four and a half years, CGA built an institutional service infrastructure and unleashed an increasing demand on geographic analysis in many fields. CGA services range from helpdesk, project consultation, training, hardware/software administration, community building, to system development and methodology research. Services often start as an application of existing GIS technology, eventually contributing to the study of geographic information science in many ways. As a new generation of students and researchers growing up with Google Earth and the like, their demand for geospatial services will continue to push CGA into new territories.

The healthy development of higher education cannot be separated from the strong support and guarantee of university logistics. In the face of public health emergencies, if we want to further strengthen the function of logistics support and support in colleges and universities, and enhance the awareness and ability of coping, we should first start with delicacy management. After the baptism of Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) epidemic, it is necessary for the logistics of universities to sum up their experience carefully, make good plans ahead of time, and make full response and preparation for all kinds of public health emergencies that may occur in the future. And this provides Chinese wisdom and Chinese plan for colleges and universities around the world to deal with public health emergencies.

[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology] Aim/Purpose : The uptake of university by regional students has been problematic for various reasons. This paper discusses a program, initiated by a South Australian regional university campus, aimed at attracting regional students into higher education. Background: A qualitative descriptive approach to study was used to determine the value of the program on participating students and school staff. Year 10 students from Roxby Downs, Port Augusta and Port Lincoln high schools were invited to participate in a two-day regionally-focussed school-university engagement program that linked students with the university campus and local employers. Methodology: A survey was administered to determine the impact of the program. Perceptions about the program by school staff were gathered using a modified One-Minute Harvard questionnaire. While 38 Year 10 students and 5 school staff members participated, 37 students and 3 staff evaluated the program. Findings: The findings revealed that the majority of the students would like to attend university, but financial and social issues were important barriers. The students learned about the regional university, what it can offer in terms of programs and support, and the employment prospect following university. The school staff benefited by developing a closer relationship with students and becoming better informed about the regional university. Recommendation for Practitioners: One way by which university uptake may be increased is to provide similar immersion programs featuring engagement with employers, our recommendation to other regional universities. In increasing the levels of education, individuals, communities and the society in general are benefited.

Full textAbstract:
Some changes occur in world at the aegis of the 21st century like a revolution marked by the rapid and extraordinary expansion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This kind of revolution, by its velocity of propagation has hugely contributed to the growth productivity. Then, internet and multimedia appear as essential tools to the socio- economic development of any modern nation. In the current context of globalisation supervised by the developed countries with United States as pioneers it is greatly important to measure ICT’s use, particularly in the education and training fields. Then, the necessity to measure the use of internet resources in the specific field of statistics teaching according to the available means and technology appears as a basic need researchers, decision makers, students, etc. After that, some propositions should be give in order to improve the current situation. First of all, it is suitable to describe briefly the Benin Republic. With a population 6.7 millions of people in 2003 according to the february General Census (4.2 millions in 1992, march General Rensus), Benin is an west Africa country with a geographic surface of 114,760 Km2. The density of the population is 58.38 people on the Km2. Benin is an agricultural developing country as agriculture represents 40% of the Gross Domestic Product and uses about 80% of the population. Even if ICT appear soon in the years 70’s, Africa got in contact with it in the 90’s particularly concerning the internet and its resources. In sub-saharan Africa, Benin was one of the first countries to hear about and to practice the World Wide Web. It was in 1995 at the occasion of the international summit of the French language speaking countries held in Cotonou in December with an internet centre inaugurated at the Benin National University, the most important university of the country: it was the SYFED center. This Center, with documentation and some five personal computers connected to the World Wide Web, was opened to students in 3rd or 4th course, to teachers and researchers. But this proportion of users is less than 2% of the students and the accessibility costs were very expensive: FCFA 1,500 each month or FF 15/month for students and FCFA 7,500 each 3 months or FF 75 each 3 months for teachers and researchers. Progressively, the national postal office has agreed some few Internet Service Providers (after the french speaking language summit in 1995). Since then, the internet environment of Benin is constituted of ISP and cyber cafés. The seconds depends on the firsts. Nowadays the great cities of the country, especially the economic capital of Cotonou are swarming cybers. The cybers are connected with the ISP (in fact, some of the ISP have their own cybers) that have direct connexion with internet. Currently the navigation costs are cheaper. Then, from FF 15 or FF 30 by hour of connexion, the mean costs are today between FF 3 to FF 5. Nowadays, internet resources are hugely taking part to any field of human life and particularly in education. In 1999, with the help of the partners in development and on the initiative High Education Ministry, a Distance learning Centre (CED) has been founded to provide training courses at a various public. This centre offers teaching by specialists all around the world in several fields from economics, technology to development subjects. But unfortunately, nothing is really done to adapt appropriate curricula related to the availability of Information and Communication Technology resources in universities and schools.

Full textAbstract:
Background: In the era of technology 4.0, the rapid and instantaneous development of information media affects people’s lifestyles and consumption patterns. This study aims to analyze the effect of online-based health education media on knowledge and attitudes about balanced diet in youth during the COVID-19 pandemic in Medan. Subjects and Method: This was a quasi-experiment study with pretest-posttest control group design. This study was located in MAN 1 Medan and MAN 2 Model Medan, from March to September 2020. A total sample of 40 students was selected by simple random sampling. Furthermore, the sample was given treatment, namely providing health education through Google Meet media to see differences in student knowledge and attitudes before and after being given health education. The data were analyzed by paired t-test. Result: Mean of the adolescent knowledge after given education of balanced diet through Google Meet (Mean= 42.05; SD= 2.43) was higher than before education (Mean= 38.90; SD = 3.024), it was statistically significant (p< 0.05). Mean of the attitude of adolescents after given education of balanced diet through Google Meet (Mean= 49.60; SD= 3.32) was higher than before given education (Mean= 45.50; SD= 3.10), it was statistically significant (p< 0.05). Conclusion: It is hoped that the Medan City Health Office can design a prevention strategy for the problems caused by not knowing and implementing balanced nutrition during the COVID-19 pandemic by increasing a healthy lifestyle by using Google Meet media, which is packaged attractively to the public, especially teenagers in Medan City.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Online meetings in Teams, Zoom and Google Meet have become a relevant part of daily activities in business, research and education. The Covid-19 pandemic forced employees to move from physical meetings to online meetings with very limited time to familiarize themselves with interfaces and functionalities of the applications. It has widely been reported that use of technology may stress people, and the phenomenon is known as technostress. However, the research about technostress due to online meetings and used tools has still been scarce. Objective: We aimed to measure technostress due to online meetings and its factors among university teachers and researchers, and clerical employees. We also aimed to compare which measure (dependent variable) would be the most reliable. Methods: A survey was conducted and the data were handled by SPSS-26 statistical package and AMOS. Statistical analyses were done by linear regressions, correlations, analysis of variance, and both experimental and confirmatory factor analysis. The used dependent variables of analyses were the sum variables of Cohen-4 stress measure and Salanova's technostress measure. Results: Analyses showed that increased online meeting hours due to Covid-19 pandemic has statistically significant impact on perceived technostress. The impact of user interfaces of online meeting tools on perceived technostress was the most relevant factor. Other significant factors were e.g., information security and topics of the meetings. Technostress between genders was statistically non-significant but age was a significant factor. Cohen-4 stress measure was not adequate for technostress assessments, whereas Salanova's technostress measure worked well. Conclusion: Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the use of online meetings tools. Even if tools have been useful and the relevant part of office work, the use of tools may affect technostress. The most relevant factor for technostress was the user interfaces. Based on the result, we recommend software companies to focus on developing user interfaces and assessing user experiences of online meeting tools.

Full textAbstract:
Considered repositories of objects(Cuno 2009), museums have been analysed through the object-oriented policies they mainly focus on. Three main purposes are often mentioned: preservation, dissemination of knowledge and access to tradition. Beyond these informative and cultural-laden functions, museums have also been labeled as theatres of power, the emphasis lying on nation-oriented policies. According to Michael F. Brown (2009: 148), the outcome of this moral standing of the nation-state is a mobilizing public sentiment in favour of the state power. We consider that the constant flow of national and international exhibitions or events that could be hosted in museums has a twofold consequence: on the one hand, a cultural dynamics due to the permanent contact with unknown objects, and on the other hand, some visibility strategies in order to attract visitors. This latter effect actually embodies a shift within the perception of museums from entities of knowledge towards leisure environments. Within this context where the concept of edutainment(Eschach 2007) seems to prevail in the non-formal way of acquiring new knowledge, contemporary virtual museums display visual information without regard to geographic location (Dahmen, Sarraf, 2009). They play ?a central role in making culture accessible to the mass audience(Carrazzino, Bergamasco 2010) by using new technologies and novel interaction paradigms. Our study will aim at analyzing the way in which civilization was e-framed in the virtual project ?A History of the World in 100 Objects, run by BBC Radio 4 and the British Museum in 2010. The British Museum won the 2011 Art Fund Prize for this innovative platform whose main content was created by the contributors (the museums and the members of the public). The chairman of the panel of judges, Michael Portillo, noted that the judges were impressed that the project used digital media in ground-breaking and novel ways to interact with audiences. The two theoretical frameworks used in our analysis are framing theories and critical discourse analysis. ?Schemata of interpretation? (Goffman 1974), frames are used by individuals to make sense of information or an occurrence, providing principles for the organization of social reality? (Hertog & McLeod 2001). Considered cultural structures with central ideas and more peripheral concepts and a set of relations that vary in strength and kind among them? (Hertog, McLeod 2001, p.141), frames rely on the selection of some aspects of a perceived reality which are made more salient in a communicating text or e-text. We will interpret this virtual museum as a hypertext which ?makes possible the assembly, retrieval, display and manipulation? (Kok 2004) of objects belonging to different cultures. The structural analysis of the virtual museum as a hypertext will focus on three orders of abstraction (Kok 2004): item, lexia, and cluster. Dividing civilization into 20 periods of time, from making us human (2,000,000 - 9000 BC) up to the world of our making (1914 - 2010 AD), the creators of the digital museum used 100 objects to make sense of the cultural realities which dominated our civilization. The History of the World in 100 Objects used images of these objects which can be considered ?as ideological and as power-laden as word (Jewitt 2008). Closely related to identities, ideologies embed those elements which provide a group legitimation, identification and cohesion. In our analysis of the 100 virtual objects framing e-civilization we will use the six categories which supply the structure of ideologies in the critical discourse analysis framework (van Dijk 2000: 69): membership, activities, goals, values/norms, position (group-relations), resources. The research questions will focus on the content of this digital museum: (1) the types of objects belonging to the 20 periods of e-civilization; (2) the salience of countries of origin for the 100 objects; (3) the salience of social practices framed in the non-formal teaching of e-civilization/culture; and on the visitors? response: (1) the types of attitudes expressed in the forum comments; (2) the types of messages visitors decoded from the analysis of the objects; (3) the (creative) value of such e-resources.
