Abstract

The online services index is one of three components of the United Nations e-government development index. It attempts to capture a country’s performance in a single internationally-comparable value using a four-stage model of online service maturity. The summary of selected countries that had overtaken Malaysia in the past 10 years had been analyst. These countries (UAE, Serbia, Malta, Spain and Saudi Arabia) have the most drastic changes to their online services that overtook Malaysia in the last 10 years. This study had found gaps and areas for improvement while gaining insights from international best practices that have enabled other governments to surge ahead. The result shows that multiple languages, transaction, social media Tools, Link to Ministries, download document, facilities to check insurances coverage, single citizen log in before accessing facilities by ministry, notification of official event/new thru text and video, display statistics for visitor, provide ebook reader, display map of ministry office for visitor point of reference, provide opinion by citizen to different ministry, provide e-participation, place to display ministry publication list, smart phone application and follow up application electronically were found to effect OSI performance these five countries.

Highlights

  • The World Health Organization (WHO) had developed internal air quality (IAQ) guidelines for dampness and management of mould in indoor building environment (WHO, 2009)

  • This paper focusing on the analysis of factors that contributes to the mould growth in an indoor library environment

  • The sites were surveyed with the following criteria: (a) The collection of library building characterization data based on direct inspection and interviews with library officers; (b) The library characterization including measurement of temperature and humidity, lighting and air conditioning systems; (c) Physical examination of the building and inspection of sites that has been wetted or showed mould growth; and (d) Mould sampling and analysis

Summary

Introduction

The World Health Organization (WHO) had developed internal air quality (IAQ) guidelines for dampness and management of mould in indoor building environment (WHO, 2009). The water content and moisture in materials can support mould growth. It is important to eliminate the source of water in an indoor library environment. The remediation and action should be carried out immediately when the sign of dampness appear in the building. It will cause mould growth and increased the risk of exposure to dampness appear in the building. It will cause mould growth and increased the risk of exposure to the microbial flora, airborne spores and volatile toxin (Singh, 1999). This paper focusing on the analysis of factors that contributes to the mould growth in an indoor library environment. The variable parameters of mould growth that had been discussed in the earlier research progress paper will be analysed further in this paper
