Abstract:
The efficacy of information and communication technology (ICT) projects and initiatives in developing countries, and how they may assist poverty reduction or otherwise improve the quality of life for communities in those countries, is still a topic of debate. Knowledge empowers people, while information technology integrates such knowledge for purposeful action and reaction. This paper describes a framework, based on social capital and knowledge management theories, which aims to further that debate in the field of information systems. The framework is primarily a sensitising device, designed to assist thinking about how social capital and knowledge theories facilitate ICT interventions for poverty reduction. The framework has four stages, the process of ICT development, the ICT intervention, the evaluation of the impact of the ICT intervention and the process of poverty reduction, which is the final and most contested stage of an ICT intervention. Each stage of the framework is discussed, using illustrations from various development projects. Finally, the paper draws some conclusions about the contribution of social capital and knowledge management theories to the issue of ICT intervention and evaluation in developing countries.

Abstract:
Summary In youth social work, the trend of using various forms of information and communication technology (ICT) is increasing. However, evidence showing in what ways ICT has enhanced intervention effectiveness is loosely organized. This study conducted a systematic review of ICT-supported social work interventions with youth, targeting peer-reviewed articles in 64 social work journals published between 2000 and 2014. The included studies ( N = 13) were analysed with particular reference to their level of evidence, internal validity and approach to evaluating the role of ICT. Findings All the included studies presented positive outcomes: 54% of them provided level-I evidence (RCTs), 15% provided level-II evidence (case–control trials without randomization) and 31% provided level-III evidence (case reports). All of them were of ‘good’ or ‘fair’ quality in terms of their internal validity. However, there were only three studies which could provide direct evidence indicating that interventions using ICT were more effective than interventions without using ICT. Most of the remainder provided indirect evidence suggesting that the use of ICT might be associated with positive intervention outcomes. Applications These studies provide useful insights that help advance social work knowledge. Yet there is room for improvement in the conceptualization of ICT, and in research designs for evaluating the role of ICT.

Abstract:
ICT led extension system is capable of changing farmers’ lives by improving access to information and sharing knowledge through click of a button. Such approaches are far more important and essential for women farmers who are overburdened and hard pressed for time. Realizing the ever increasing role of women in agriculture and the need for empowering them in technological domain, the present study was conducted to study the level of knowledge of Farm Women Knowledge Group (FWKG) members on different aspects of selected ICT tool, to find out the level of use of ICT tool by the FWKG members and to study the impact of intervention programmes on knowledge and use of selected ICT tool among the FWKG members. Rural women having farming as an occupation were selected purposively. Six Farm Women Knowledge Group (FWKG) comprising ten members each were formed for the study. Intervention programmes were conducted for the members of FWKG including awareness programme, training and workshop which were home based, farm based and community based Programmes. The study reveals that post intervention levels of knowledge and use of selected ICT were better than pre intervention level among the FWKG members. High level of knowledge increased from 20.00 per cent to 48.33 per cent whereas low level of knowledge decreased from 45.00 per cent to 6.66 per cent. Similarly in case of high level of use increased from 6.66 per cent to 48.33 per cent. Knowledge and use of selected ICT tool was positively related in both pre and post-intervention phase. Paired ‘t’ test implies that there was gain in knowledge after the intervention programmes. Similarly significant difference in use of selected ICT tool between the pre and post intervention was also found. It may be concluded that such interventions may increase the level of knowledge and use of selected ICT tool and such model may be replicated in other areas at micro level.

Abstract:
Research led productivity gain in rice has enabled the growth of rice production. Organized research and extension played a great role in the success of rice development in the country. However, there exists scope for further yield gain through minimizing gap between research and farm. Information Communication Technology (ICT) has proved to be significant to enhance agricultural production. Realizing its potential, Bangladesh has currently started using ICT for its agricultural development programmes. The study has revealed the strong relationship of rice production of the ICT farmers with that of non-ICT ones. DiD (Difference in Differences) model was used to analyze the comparison of rice production of two service areas. Recall method was used to collect the data. The result indicates that the production of Boro and T. Aman rice from ICT service areas has increased more than those of non-ICT areas. The counter factual outcome of DiD analysis reflects the perspective weaker treatment of non-ICT service area and stronger one of the ICT service area.Bangladesh Rice j. 2016, 20(2): 67-72

Abstract:
<p>This research reports on the design aspect of a bigger project which sought to design and implement information and communication technology (ICT)-based interventions for the purpose of developing pre-service teachers’ ICT competency for teaching physics in an interactive manner using a three-stage (design stage, implementation and evaluation stage, and documentation and reflection stage) design-based research approach. Using literature as a lens, this research examines the interventions that we designed in the first stage of the project with the intent to determine its features that promote interactive teaching and fit the Ghanaian senior high school physics classroom context. Findings show that the intervention with inherent features comprising of: a readily available, sustainable, context- and content-specific ICT teaching and learning environment; an ICT-oriented knowledge base for teachers’ uptake of ICT; an underlining framework for defining interactive and learner-centred teaching approach with ICT; ICT-driven interactive lesson objectives; an inquiry-driven, activity- and ICT-based learning material; and a collaborative classroom arrangement is appropriate and sensitive to the needs of the Ghanaian physics classroom context and, hence, possess the potential for promoting interactive teaching. The features of the interventions, as situated in the specific context of the research and implications of the findings are discussed.<strong></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p>

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives To establish the preferences and perceived barriers related to physical activity and diet programming of breast cancer survivors (BCS) to inform the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based lifestyle interventions. Methods This was a cross-sectional study of 197 BSC aged 18 years or older and diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or Stage I-IV breast cancer. The BCS were recruited during routine oncology appointments at a Midwestern cancer center. A survey was conducted to query survivors’ level of interest in, preferences for, and perceived barriers to participating in an exercise and dietary intervention program, with a specific emphasis on ICT-based programming. Results Overall, 85% of BCS reported they would consider participating in exercise and diet intervention research. Approximately 45% of participants reported that they had received diet and/or exercise information as part of their cancer care. However, only 15% of the participants received such information from healthcare professionals with the appropriate expertise (e.g., Dietitian, Exercise Specialist). Over two-thirds of the participants reported frequent use of mobile devices and the internet, and 80% indicated comfort using these devices (e.g., tablet, smart phone). The top three preferred formats for an ICT-based diet and exercise intervention program were “website”, “mobile apps” and “e-mails”. Older participants (&gt;60 years) were more likely to report a preference for e-mails while younger participants (&lt;60 years) were more likely to report a preference for websites or mobile apps. The most common perceived barriers to participation in a lifestyle intervention included fatigue, family responsibility and work. Conclusions Most BCS in this study were interested in exercise and diet interventions and would be comfortable with an ICT-based format with a preference for delivery via websites, mobile apps or e-mails. Future ICT-based lifestyle interventions should be designed with consideration of BCS’ age, barriers, facilitators and other characteristics. Funding Sources USDA-NIFA Hatch Project 1,011,487

Abstract:
Background Internet or mobile device use as a form of information and communication technology (ICT) can be more effective in weight loss and weight maintenance than traditional obesity interventions. Objective The study aims to assess the effectiveness of child-centered ICT interventions on obesity-related outcomes. Methods Articles were retrieved from the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, and PubMed web-based databases. We selected randomized controlled trials in which the participants were aged <18 years. The primary outcomes were BMI, body weight, BMI z-score, waist circumference, and percentage body fat. Results In total, 10 of the initial 14,867 studies identified in the databases were selected according to the inclusion criteria. A total of 640 participants were included in the intervention group and 619 in the comparator group. Meta-analyses were conducted considering various subgroups (intervention type, comparator type, target participants, mean age, sex, BMI status, and follow-up period). Overall, ICT interventions demonstrated no significant effect on BMI, body weight, BMI z-score, waist circumference, and percentage body fat. Subgroup analyses revealed that the effect of the intervention was statistically significant for the following: web intervention (weighted mean difference [WMD]=−1.26 kg/m2, 95% CI −2.24 to −0.28), lifestyle modification comparator (WMD=−1.75, 95% CI −2.76 to −0.74), intervention involving both boys and girls (WMD=−1.30, 95% CI −2.14 to −0.46), and intervention involving obesity only (WMD=−1.92, 95% CI −3.75 to −0.09). Conclusions The meta-analysis results for children with obesity who used the web intervention program confirmed significant effects on BMI reduction compared with lifestyle modification. Evidence from the meta-analysis identified internet technology as a useful tool for weight loss in children with obesity.

Abstract:
This article analyses the strategic, organisational, and structural conditions for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to fully exploit the potential of information and communication technology (ICT). The authors build a conceptual framework relating “ICT readiness” (a new construct) to two more common dimensions: “strategic vision of ICT” and “ICT maturity”. Using the framework, the study identifies four distinct groups of SMEs, associated with differing degrees of readiness, before analysing possible evolutionary and regressive development paths among these groups. In discussing the implications of the framework, the authors argue that the framework represents a valid tool of diagnosis and intervention, especially in those circumstances where SMEs cannot fully exploit the potential of ICT. The framework helps identify the underlying causes of limited ICT readiness and supports owner-managers and consultants in choosing and implementing appropriate interventions.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine the economic interaction in Indonesia and the impact of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and electricity on inter-island interactions in Indonesia. Data used Indonesian Inter-Regional Input-Output (IRIO) table 2016. The result is the largest inter-island interaction occurred between Java and Sumatra, Java-Sulawesi and Java-Kalimantan. Java was more dependent on Sumatra than Sumatra's dependence on Java. Java was more dependent on other islands than other islands' dependence on Java. The impact of ICT on the economy was higher than the impact of electricity. The ICT had more impact on the interregional economy than intraregional. Meanwhile, the electricity had more effect on the intraregional economy than interregional. The intervention to increase investment in ICT resulted in the highest increase in output of Bali and Nusa Tenggara. Both when the intervention was carried out on Bali and Nusa Tenggara islands or in other islands. The same was true for electricity investment interventions. Therefore, Bali and Nusa Tenggara islands should be given more priority in ICT and electricity investment. Investment in ICT and electricity will accelerate the economic development of eastern Indonesia so that it can become a reference for equitable development.

Abstract:
This study captures the process and methods used in selecting and organising content for an ontology. In the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field ontology refers to a way of organising and storing information and facilitating interaction between the system and its users. Ontologies are being used more frequently to provide services that deal with complex information. In this study, I record my experience of developing content for an HIV and AIDS ontology for Rhodes University students. Using several different methods, I started the process of selecting and organising HIV and AIDS information, free of scientific jargon and prescriptive language, and consisting only of relevant information. I used data derived from interviews with six HIV and AIDS experts to develop questions for a survey that was open to all Rhodes University students. The 689 people who responded to the survey indicated that they needed more information on testing, treatment and living with HIV. Responses also showed that students had a lot of information on HIV prevention and transmission. Four focus group discussions revealed that students were tired of repetitions of the „same‟ information on HIV and AIDS and wanted to know more about life after contracting HIV. Using this data, I propose some guidelines to populate HIV and AIDS ontology. Ontologies can be customized for particular groups of users, for example according to gender, race, year of study etc. Another advantage of the ontology is that it can be expanded or contracted depending on the scope of one‟s intervention.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019
The challenges faced by members of underserved communities in South Africa have frequently been reported in literature. To ameliorate these challenges, different interventions have been introduced both locally and internationally to improve the wellbeing of the members of these communities. One such intervention is the introduction of information and communication technology ICT as a means to close the digital divide and meeting the socio-economic needs of the community. Youth living in these communities are expected to derive more benefit from ICT interventions as they have been reported to be more technology savvy and dependent on technology than the older adults are. However, the failures of ICT interventions deployed by donors have also been reported in literature. Authors have identified several reasons for the failure of ICT interventions, but a lack of consultation with the beneficiaries of this type of intervention is common to many findings. The exclusion of the youth as major beneficiaries of ICT interventions causes a lack of alignment between the interventions deployed for their use and the actual wellbeing needs of the youth in underserved communities. The failure of ICT interventions increases the digital divide and frustrates the good intentions of local and national government as well as international donors to improve the wellbeing of the youth in underserved communities. By using the concept of wellbeing, the study aimed to explore how youth wellbeing indicators can be used to facilitate effective ICT interventions for youth empowerment and development in underserved communities in South Africa. Furthermore, the study aimed todesign an ICT-based artefact to prioritise youth wellbeing indicators in underserved communities in South Africa. The study was implemented through a qualitative research method using a service design strategy that allowed for a participatory research approach and co-design instrument for data collection from the youth living in Grabouw anunderserved community in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Data was collected from 40 youth aged between 15 and 30 at two workshops. Content analysis technique was used to analyse data. Findings from the research show that given the opportunity, the youth are able to determine their social-economic needs. A comprehensive set of wellbeing indicators was developed. Thirteen wellbeing indicators symbolising the issues in the community were prioritised, which are:unemployment, self-image, reaching full potential, family support,access to water, sanitation and electricity,meaning and purpose of life,being healthy,religious practice,educational level,future expectations,freedom of expression,skills to get a job, and access to skills and training. Overall, nine categories of wellbeing indicators were identified; of these, seven are similar to theGlobal Youth Wellbeing Index(GYWI) categories. Three new categories – aspiration, social support, and infrastructure and services – were realised. The three factors are an indication that the Grabouw youth may have special needs different from the global perspective as specified by the GYWI categories. Moreover, the priorities of the wellbeing indicators when compared to the GYWI rating for South Africa differ significantly, which may indicate that the needs of the youth living in underserved communities may vary largelyfrom other youth in the country. Furthermore, an artefact that can be used to prioritise wellbeing indicators was designed. It is important for stakeholders of ICT interventions to embrace participation of the beneficiaries as a means of aligning interventions to their needs. These stakeholders need to seek ways of developing artefacts that address the needs, not limited to health, so that the youth can take advantage of technology to improve their wellbeing on a continuous basis.

Abstract:
A quasi-experimental research design was used to evaluate the efficacy of MindPlay Virtual Reading Coach (MVRC), an ICT-based reading intervention, in addition to regular daily language instruction provided by a classroom teacher. After attrition, participants included 170 students enrolled in eight second-grade classrooms (four classrooms in each school) in two public elementary schools in the southwestern United States. Examiners obtained reading achievement data for each participating student. Pre- and post-test measures included tests of the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement (WJ IV ACH), as well as the Test of Silent Word Reading Fluency (TOSWRF-2). A multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used to determine whether there were significant mean differences in (a) non-word reading, (b) real word reading, (c) non-word spelling, (d) real word spelling, and/or (e) reading fluency post-test achievement scores favoring students assigned to use the MVRC online reading intervention, once the effects of differences in pre-test achievement scores and relevant demographic variables had been accounted for. Analyses revealed a significant main effect (λ= .668, F [5, 161] = 16.014, p < .001, multivariate η² = .332) of the intervention on achievement scores of participants assigned to the treatment condition, a result which was confirmed across three of the study's dependent variables: real word spelling (F[1, 165] = 16.341, p < .001, multivariate η² = .090), non-word spelling (F[1, 165] = 29.212, p < .001, multivariate η² = .150), and reading fluency (F[1, 165] = 58.348, p < .001, multivariate η² = .261).

Abstract:
Various studies have taken different approaches to persuade users into adopting a healthy sitting posture. In addition to the sedentary lifestyles we have come to adopt, the importance and reasoning of these studies stem from the adverse effects of poor posture on our health and mood. However, studies approaching this area with real-time visual modality integrated into clothing are rather sparse. Utilizing this integration might potentially fulfill the requirements of the ubiquitous computing era and inform the users in a calmer way. To evaluate various aspects of this concept, a mid-fidelity prototype was developed and tested with users. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted to obtain their thoughts and opinions on such an approach. In addition to the approval of the concept, further concerns, advantages and disadvantages were disclosed, and used to inform a design space for similar concepts. Although requiring more research, the results of this study outline a primary design space consisting of essential characteristics one needs to be aware of when designing a similar concept.

Abstract:
Over 29 years into the epidemic, fighting HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired, Immune, Deficiency, Syndrome) continues to be a global concern. School-based computer-assisted HIV/AIDS interventions can provide innovative ways of preventing HIV among young people from diverse backgrounds in Africa. However, questions of technological, social and organisational readiness cannot be overlooked. This is because of: (1) being health interventions implemented in educational centres; (2) limited technological facilities and skills; (3) the prevailing norms that associate young people's sex education with sex experimentation. Despite these concerns, there are significantly few studies evaluating school-based computer-assisted HIV/AIDS interventions in developing countries. In addition, the commonly used health promotion theories have limited application in HIV prevention. These theories tend to lack sufficient attention to contextual mediators that influence implementation and impacts of HIV interventions.This research addresses some of these gaps by evaluating the implementation and the impacts of a computer-assisted HIV/AIDS intervention, known as the World Starts With Me (WSWM), which is implemented in schools in Uganda. To overcome some of the criticisms voiced above, this research employed mixed quantitative and qualitative methods to conduct three investigations. Investigation 1 is a quantitative controlled before-after intervention study that assessed the level of significance of the impacts of the WSWM intervention on in-school young people. Investigation 2 is a qualitative cross-case analysis study that explored in-depth why the WSWM intervention implementation was completed in one school but abandoned in another. Investigation 3 is a qualitative study that assessed in-depth the impacts and the computer-mediated benefits of the WSWM intervention on out-of-school young people. Overall, this research involved 584 quantitative questionnaires answered by 292 participants, 53 interviewees and 2 focus group discussions comprising of 50 participants.Findings indicate that: (1) the intervention significantly improved the in-school young people's HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes self-efficacy, sex abstinence and fidelity, but had no significant impact on condom use. (2) Implementation factors include technological facilities, perceived usefulness, confidence and skills, cultural-religious compatibility, management support, match with routine workflow, and institutional climate, all of which were more favourable in the school that completed the intervention than in the school that abandoned it. (3) The intervention had positive impacts on the out-of-school young people's sexual behaviours, HIV/AIDS knowledge and perception of vulnerability, attitudes and self-efficacy. (4) Contextual mediators such as familial mediators, relationship characteristics, peer influence, gender-biased social norms, economic constraints and religious beliefs influence young people's uptake of HIV preventive measures. (5) Computer-mediated benefits of the intervention include privacy and confidentiality of the otherwise sensitive information, unlimited geographical accessibility, source of the otherwise denied sexuality and HIV/AIDS information, and interactivity and social support.

Abstract:
With the growing role the smartphone technology is gaining in our daily life the concerned voices about its negative impacts on human social skills, social interactions and mental health are getting louder. Smartphone use has become a habit not at least due to high access to different kind of rewards provided by this technology. In this thesis, a qualitative explorative study analyses two approaches, an application based and a non-application based, in their ability to deal with the subjectively perceived smartphone overuse in order to find weaknesses and advantages behind those approaches. The study design is based on behaviour change theories such as the Goal-Setting Theory, the Social Cognitive Theory, and the Cognitive Dissonance Theory and on the persuasive design strategies. The results of the five weeks long intervention study, during which eight participants tried both approaches in a within-group design setup, suggests that a combination of an application based and a non-application based intervention could be more beneficial than relying on technology alone in order to support the user with means to reduce the smartphone overuse. The results furthermore suggest that the application based approach functioned well as an eye opener and as an incentive to prepare participants to take own actions.

Abstract:
There has been an increasing amount of investment in Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) interventions in developing countries under the premise of accelerating the process of social, economic and political development. These interventions are usually driven by the symbolic power of ICTs which signify progress and upon which the governments of developing countries try to draw to modernise the functioning of the state and to further enhance public service delivery to citizens. However, in this thesis it is argued that the actions and events that lead to the design and implementation of ICT4D tend to be politically motivated because ICT4D are simply interventions used by powerful actors and institutions to achieve their goals. These powerful actors include international donor agencies, politicians, top bureaucrats and private entities. In addition, it is argued that, due to these politically motivated agendas, ICT4D projects tend to be implemented in a top-down fashion and within an economic development perspective that appears to isolate the concerns of the country itself and the wellbeing of its citizens. In an attempt to try and redress social exclusion and imbalance, the capability approach drawn from the work of Amartya Sen (1999) stresses the enhancement of human capabilities and the moral aspects of development. Theoretically, the study is based on the key concepts of Sen’s Capability Approach. However, Lukes’s (1974) concepts of power are also drawn upon to address the limitation of the capability approach in addressing the concept of power. The research questions guiding this thesis are as follows: (1) How do the underlying motivations of different actors drive the design and implementation of ICT4D initiatives in developing countries? (2) How can researchers usefully conceptualise the relationship between ICT and development given the complexities in which ICT4D initiatives are undertaken? What conceptual framework could help theorise the complex relationship between ICT and development? Epistemologically, the study was conducted by following an interpretive research approach. The research was carried out in two states of Nigeria, Abuja and Plateau, and took place during the period of 2010-2011. The case-study centres on the initiation and implementation of the Computerised Electricity Management System (CEMS). Empirically, data collection techniques include 65 individual interviews, field observations and document analysis. The following are key findings of this thesis: ICT4D interventions are a complex process shaped at two levels. At the international level, they are shaped by donor agendas such as privatisation, and at the national or local level they are shaped by political and private interests. These agendas and interest are driven by powerful actors such as international donor agencies that often impose such interventions as a condition of aid, politicians who often use such interventions as campaign tools, and other top public and private actors who often use such interventions for personal gain. Hence, the beneficiaries of these projects usually have no say in the design of ICT4D projects but are rather forced to accept these interventions. Corruption is a major obstacle that hinders the expected ICT4D contributions in terms of individual opportunities and freedoms of living better lives inscribed in ICT4D interventions. Corruption exists as a “network” involving different actors present at three levels of ICT4D projects, namely the design, implementation and usage stages. Viewed from this perspective, the findings of this study show that international donor agencies, politicians, public bureaucrats and private entities are equally responsible for promoting corrupt practices in the context of ICT4D interventions. Theoretically, this thesis progresses the operationalisation of the capability approach (CA) by encapsulating the central aspect of the approach and Lukes’s (1974) concept of power. This is an innovative way of operationalising the capability approach by addressing its limitations in explaining the notion of power; the study thereby contributes to the field of IS using the capability approach and expanding the scope of theoretical analysis of contemporary ICT4D studies. Practically, to make the relationship between ICT and development more effective in meeting broader development goals, it is necessary for government policies to move beyond the mere provision of technology to also concentrate on the cultural, institutional, social and political aspects in ensuring the effective use of ICT resources, which should serve to improve people’s opportunity to participate more in social, political and economic activities.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the relationship between effective state intervention and Information Communications Technology (ICT) dissemination. I theorize that investment in ICT leads to benefits for all firms; without government intervention and incentives, firms will have little reason to invest substantially in this arena. I demonstrate how the collective action problem leads to a lack of private investment as highlighted by the prisoner’s dilemma game. I conduct a multi country regression test to ascertain the factors that influence the dissemination of IT. I then analyze the impact of the United States and South Korean government on ICT by process tracing the role of each government in the dissemination of ICT. My results support my hypothesis. The policy implications for this study are the increase in the level of US government involvement in ICT through encouraging private sector participation, creating new laws, and increasing access to technology in public education.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the design, development and evaluation of a series of full-body interaction experiences as tools for intervention on motivation and social initiation for children with Autism. Autism Spectrum Disorders are characterized by challenges in social communication. Thus, it is necessary to provide support tools for motivating the learning and use of social behaviors. We developed three systems to explore the characteristics and limitations of the full-body interaction medium for the development of such tools. This thesis analyzes the characteristics of full-body interaction technologies by focusing on different physical settings, and different interaction design approaches. We have focused our research on motivation, through promoting engagement and exploration attitudes, and social behaviors, by fostering social initiation and collaboration in multi-user environments. This thesis is a first step to design full-body interaction systems for promoting motivation and social behaviors.

Abstract:
Cette thèse est une recherche intervention qui vise à analyser l'interaction des procédés d'enseignement et d'appropriation des langues afin de déterminer à quelles conditions l'utilisation d'un environnement d'apprentissage à distance médiatisé par les technologies rend possible la mise en oeuvre d'expériences d'apprentissage potentiellement favorables au développement langagier au sein d'un MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). Elle a pour objet la conception de dispositifs LMOOC, leur ajustement et leur évaluation. La mise en place d'un dispositif pédagogique et sa conception requièrent de proposer un scénario pédagogique à l'aide d'outils suffisamment théorisés qui vise à conduire les apprenants vers des épisodes d'apprentissage favorisant une progression qualitative en LA. Nous avons mobilisé les apports théoriques des systèmes complexes et dynamiques pour l'apprentissage des langues (CDST) et intégré une approche ergonomique de l'activité instrumentée pour concevoir un scénario pédagogique au sein d'un dispositif LMOOC. A partir des traces d'interactions, nous avons ensuite analysé et interprété les potentialités de développement langagier dans les usages des apprenants pour évaluer l'efficacité de ces dispositifs pour l'apprentissage de LA. Cette analyse permet d'identifier les conditions selon lesquelles l'ensemble des ressources oriente l'activité des apprenants vers des pratiques sociales d'apprentissage
The perspective of this thesis is to analyze how the teaching and learning processes are interacting in order to underline on the conditions to which a technology-mediated distance learning environment is liable to promote French as an Additional Language (AL) learning experiences within a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). The research main objectives are the setting up of the artifact, its adjustment to the context and its evaluation. The implementation of a pedagogical environment aims at providing the learners with the tools leading them towards a qualitative progression in the AL. The first phase of the intervention research was devoted to the setting of the theoretical and conceptual framework to favor the AL learning activity. We mobilized complex and dynamic system theories (CDST) and socio-cultural theories for the design of the artifact. The conceptual framework is completed with an ergonomic approach of the instrumental activity. We then analyzed the conditions under which, within the MOOC environment, a flexible task-based language learning artifact mediates learners' language activity towards participatory social practices. Language learning activity and learners' interactions are assessed, interpreted and analyzed through the lens of our theoretical framework

Abstract:
Perioperative management of a patient with elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is of paramount importance in neuroanesthesiology. Should this clinical emergency remain unaddressed, disability and death will ensue. Suboptimal care of a patient with elevated ICP is associated with avoidable morbidity and predictable mortality unless timely medical interventions, a focused history, targeted physical findings and a high degree of clinical suspicion confirmed by selective imaging result in medical stabilization and more definitive neurosurgical intervention. This may require interinstitutional transport. Understanding the physiologic and pathologic concepts that underlie elevated ICP permit anticipatory interventions to avert inexorable deterioration. The etiology of elevated intracranial pressure is often multifactorial. The deleterious effects of rising ICP demand a clear understanding of the relationship between ICP, mean arterial pressure (MAP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and cerebral autoregulation. Maintaining optimal CPP to prevent cerebral ischemia is the neuroanesthesiologist’s ultimate goal while managing a patient with an elevated ICP.

The virtues of collaboration have been much trumpeted, but on what basis is it seen to have advantages for composition, and is the enthusiasm for it warranted? In this Intervention, composer John Croft exposes some of the underlying reasons for the focus on collaboration, among them spurious business models, misconceived notions of research, a culture of accountability and the confusion of innovation with originality. He concludes by highlighting the virtues of solitariness, the resistance to influence and single-mindedness in composition.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the debates concerning pro-democratic intervention and its implications for the use of force in international relations. It begins by looking at the disagreement over the nature of governmental legitimacy before turning to the legal bases of pro-democratic intervention such as UN Security Council-authorized interventions and interventions by contemporaneous invitation of sitting or recently ousted officials. Interventions by regional organizations and interventions combining two or more of these forms are also discussed. In addition, the chapter considers consent, either by an ousted government or through the use of treaties by regional and sub-regional organizations to authorize military intervention in advance under specified circumstances. Finally, it analyses post-Charter treaties of guarantee and pro-democratic intervention pacts in Africa.

Abstract:
Anaesthesia in ‘remote areas’ is required for medical imaging (CT, MRI, PET-CT), angiography, endoscopy, and interventions (stenting, thrombectomy, coiling, laser therapy, biopsies, radiotherapy) in a number of medical disciplines (paediatrics, radiology, cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, surgery, cardiac surgery, emergency medicine). The spectrum of anaesthetic techniques is broad. It reaches from standby (monitored anaesthesia care), through analgesia and sedation (with spontaneous breathing), to general anaesthesia and mechanical ventilation. Regional anaesthesia techniques are also required under certain circumstances. In the last few years there has been a move away from open procedures to interventional techniques. The complexity of these interventions has increased (i.e. interventional cardiac valve replacements) and the patients tend to be older and suffer from a multitude of co-morbidities. Many of these interventions are performed in the ‘hostile environment’ of the intervention suite. Intervention suites are typically not designed to offer anaesthetists an ideal working area. The space may be limited and medical equipment impedes access to the patient. The infrastructure may be suboptimal (e.g. no central medical gases supply). Protection for staff and equipment against radiation and high magnetic fields must be considered. Loud noise from machinery and shielded walls, doors, and windows may hinder communication and hearing acoustic alarms. The distance to the operating theatre may be considerable and thus support from senior anaesthetists and supply of additional equipment may take some time to arrive. Anaesthesia outside the operating theatre is sometimes underestimated as trivial. Performing a ‘quick’ interventional case can evolve within seconds into a challenge even for the experienced anaesthesiologist if a surgical or anaesthesiological complication occurs. Non-operating-theatre anaesthesia has a higher severity of injuries and more substandard care than operating theatre anaesthesia. This is not acceptable and anaesthetists must ensure the same high standard of anaesthesia care and patient safety both inside and outside the operating theatre.

Abstract:
Imaging technology allows complex yet minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the genitourinary tract. It provides precise targeting for tissue biopsy to allow accurate diagnosis. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is invaluable in the treatment of complex stone disease and percutaneous nephrostomy insertion preserves normal renal tissue in the patient with malignant or benign urinary tract obstruction. (Percutaneous nephrolithotomy and percutaneous nephrostomy are very different.) Antegrade ureteric procedures allow strictures, stones, and tumours to be dealt with, often with much greater ease than the retrograde approach. Collections and leaks can be drained and urine can be diverted to facilitate healing. Minimally invasive endovascular techniques can arrest iatrogenic or trauma-related haemorrhage from the renal tract. Although interventional radiological procedures are generally safe, they do come with risks of specific complications that the nephrologist needs to be aware of. Nephrologists need to be familiar with interventional uroradiological techniques to allow appropriate counseling and care of patients who require these procedures.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that for the classical Confucian account of punitive expedition to be relevant to the modern international world and to be the theory of humanitarian intervention, focused on the suffering of the people rather than the moral qualification of the intervening ruler, it must undergo a democratic reconstruction with full attention to the circumstances of modern politics on both national and international levels. It argues that applying Confucian virtue politics, as it is, to the modern pluralist world as a form of political meritocracy is difficult to justify due to both internal and external obstacles posed by value pluralism, domestically as well as internationally. It stipulates that intervention be morally justified, first to the people of the intervening state, second to those who are intervened, and third to the international community, which has a moral duty to protect the well-being of the people in the world.

Abstract:
Against the background of colonial and missionary interventions, Africa’s adult education, influenced by home, work, and religious traditions, soon changed in character and content, frame and forms. Since 1945, global partnerships have shaped its agenda with international organisations, foreign and local universities, and external funding, determining its themes and trajectories. Functional, and ICT-oriented literacies, health, poverty alleviation, community development, youth issues, climate, migration, gender, and school access became areas of intervention. In response, Africa’s problems have served as sounding horns to resolving issues of poverty and want globally. Africa’s pursuit of partnership is a fitting tribute to Professor Lalage Bown, whose passion for promoting it has been legendary.

Abstract:
Abstract As the West Madura Offshore field is getting mature and number of the well drilled from the platform increases the need arises to improve reservoir drainage area with horizontally drilled well trajectories. PHE40-A8ST is one of the wells that was side-tracked with 5,911-ft of horizontal section as to access the Kujung gas formation (see Fig 18 & 19 for wellbore trajectory & completion schematic). As part of the cost optimization to minimize well construction cost, side-tracking activities drilled with offshore drilling rig are perforated and placed on production without the drilling rig. The well intervention operation is conducted after the drilling operation with the objectives to clean up the wellbore, add perforations, to initiate production with nitrogen lifting and, if required, to perform acid stimulation. Due to the horizontal wellbore trajectory, along with the objectives to minimize the number of runs on this relatively complex well intervention operation, Intelligent Coiled Tubing (ICT) technique was proposed. The ICT technology enables the operation to be carried out efficiently without the need to switch between slickline, wireline and CT equipment on the well. This ICT technique allowed the operator, Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore (PHE WMO), to access the horizontal well at the target depth, performing the multiple operations and finally put the well on production in a safe, risk managed, and efficient manner. The Intelligent Coiled Tubing Technology consists of a customized bottom hole assembly which provides real time downhole information from the various sensors. This real-time information is used to provide accurate depth correlation prior to perforation of the well, along with providing data for assisting the acid stimulation and nitrogen lift. The selection of an ICT system was carefully considered during the planning of the well and considered the other options that were available (ie. Electric Line Tractor run for the perforation on horizontal well). Job timing and operational risks were considered between the two options, and it was decided to perform the operation using ICT system. The decision to work on PHE40-A8 well using ICT was not made from the beginning and the conventional CT was already at the well site, working on on-going CT work campaign on another well. This change in plan lead to the mobilization of ICT conversion kit to the well site that took several days. While waiting for the conversion kit package to arrive at well-site, a cleanout run, and Memory GR-CCL run were performed using conventional coiled tubing unit. Upon arrival of ICT conversion kit on wellsite, ICT electrical wire was injected into the existing CT pipe at the wellsite and the subsequent operation on the PHE40-A8 well was performed using ICT: perforation run, nitrogen unload run, and perforation acid wash run. The operations were performed efficiently as per plan, with the well being put on production and delivering to expectations. This paper provides the detail of the operations that were performed within well, PHE40-A8. This paper is also to record the process that can be referenced to for future development of the Kujung field.

Abstract:
A number of empirical studies have measured the effect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on test scores, yet there is a lack of empirical evidence on the effects of this type of intervention on drop-out and repetition rates, variables that have a direct impact on years of education. This working paper analyzes rich longitudinal censal data from Peru as well as information regarding a specific program that deployed computers in 350 schools in the year 2004. Results indicate null impacts of increasing computer access on repetition, drop-out rates and initial enrollment. The large sample sizes allow the authors to detect even very modest effects. These results, together with previous evidence on the lack of effects on tests scores, point to a limited potential of computers in improving education outcomes.

Abstract:
The report recommends that: 1) Policymakers should conduct holistic assessments of social, economic, and cultural factors before AI adoption in the water sector, as prospective applications of AI are case- specific. It is also important to conduct baseline studies to measure the implementation capacity, return on investment, and impact of intervention. 2) To ensure positive development outcomes, policies regarding the use of AI for water-related challenges should be coupled with capacity and infrastructure development policies. Capacity development policies need to address the AI and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) needs for the AI-related skill development of all water-related stakeholders. Infrastructure development policies should address the underlying requirements of computation, energy, data generation, and storage. The sequencing of these policies is critical. 3) To mitigate the predicted job displacement that will accompany AI-led innovation in the water sector, policies should direct investments towards enabling a skilled workforce by developing water sector-related education at all levels. This skilled workforce should be strategically placed to offset dependency on the private sector. 4) Water-related challenges are cross-cutting running from grassroots to the global level and require an understanding of the water ecosystem. It is important for countries connected by major rivers and watersheds to collaborate in developing policies that advance the use of AI to address common water-related challenges. 5) A council or agency with representation from all stakeholders should be constituted at the national level, to allow for the successful adoption of AI by water agencies. This council or agency should be tasked with the development of policies, guidelines, and codes of conduct for the adoption of AI in the water-sector. These key policy recommendations can be used as primary guidelines for the development of strategies and plans to use AI to help achieve water-related SDGs.

Abstract:
Complex interventions are those that are characterized by multiple components, multiple stakeholders, or multiple target populations. They may also be interventions that incorporate multiple processes of behavioral change. While such interventions are very common and receive a large proportion of development aid budgets, they are rarely subject to rigorous evaluations. The CEDIL Methods Working Paper, Evaluating Complex Interventions in International Development reviews promising methods for the evaluation of complex interventions that are new or have been used in a limited way. It offers a taxonomy of complex interventions in international development and draws on literature to discuss several methods that can be used to evaluate these interventions. The paper focuses its attention on methods that address causality and allow us to state conclusively whether an intervention works or not. It shows that several rigorous methods developed in different disciplines can be adapted and used to evaluate complex interventions in international development.

Abstract:
This document provides a guide for conducting behaviorally informed interventions to reduce businesses' carbon footprint. It draws insights from a pilot study within Colombia's textile industry and Peru's plastic industry. The study addresses the critical need for businesses to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change and transition risks, such as the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which requires significant adaptations from companies in Latin America and the Caribbean to stay competitive. A key component of this study was developing and testing the "Green Tool," designed to assist companies in adopting eco-efficiency indicators (EEIs), which can be used as an input to measuring and lowering companies carbon footprint. Central to the intervention's success was a preliminary diagnosis stage that pinpointed specific behavioral barriers hindering the reduction of carbon footprints, including present bias and prevailing social norms. By combining a behaviorally informed communications strategy with mentorship, the intervention enhanced the adoption of EEIs among the businesses in the treatment group compared to those in the control group. This pilot study highlights the essential role of targeted interventions, mentorship, and the strategic application of behavioral tools in encouraging sustainable practices within the business sector. Furthermore, this guide demonstrates the effectiveness of behavioral interventions in supporting businesses to transition towards lower carbon footprints, showcasing a path forward in the global effort to combat climate change.

Abstract:
Preparing a successful small grant proposal involves research, planning, preparation, and determination, but obtaining funding for a creative project is not unrealistic. Practitioners are in the trenches on a daily basis, and many likely have novel ideas and relevant questions, especially when it comes to interventions. These intervention questions are important, with the American Occupational Therapy Association reporting that more studies are needed to investigate and support occupation-based intervention. By developing partnerships, educators, practitioners, and students can engage in small scale projects to further the knowledge base in the field of occupational therapy.

Abstract:
This report describes a rapid review exercise on the place-based intervention approaches to improving the health and wellbeing outcomes of residents in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW). The aim of this exercise is to inform the Cancer Institute NSW on their future policy and program developments in cancer prevention and screening. Specifically, it seeks to answer the following research questions: 1. What place-based interventions for health promotion and risk prevention and screening currently exist in NSW? 2. How effective have these interventions been in achieving their stated objectives?

Abstract:
Key messages • We found that there are limited studies analysing the effectiveness of e-cigarette cessation interventions in a clinical setting and of those that do exist the sample sizes are small, and the studies are underpowered to make any confident assessment of their effectiveness. • Clinical interventions appropriate for young people included nonpharmacologic interventions such as contingency management and behavioural counselling while NRT may be an effective pharmacologic intervention. • There was limited evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of behavioural counselling as a stand-alone cessation strategy, but it may be effective in conjunction with other approaches. • Emerging evidence suggests that digital cessation interventions (i.e. text message or app-based delivery) may be the preferred mode of delivery for young people, however, their effectiveness in maintaining abstinence is yet to be confirmed. • Evidence suggests there is a need to quantify and create a consistent measure of nicotine intake to appropriately inform clinical treatment decisions. • Studies are generally very low quality, and it is not possible nor is it appropriate to make any definitive conclusions.
