Disparate Digital Literacy Levels of Nursing Manager and Staff, Specifically in Nursing Informatics Competencies and Their Causes: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The digitalization of healthcare is developing quickly. Every care provider needs to be up-to-date on this technology. The purpose of this research was to identify the digital literacy of nursing staff and nurse managers. A cross-sectional study assessed nurses' digital literacy, specifically with regard to nursing informatics competencies in hospitals, primary healthcare, and clinics. The study sample included 100 nurses and 83 nurse managers. Researchers applied a modified questionnaire on nurses' informatics competencies from TIGER Nursing Informatics, with a validity range of 0.497-0.897 and a reliability value of 0.975. Participants showed an acceptable level of computer literacy, although their scores were below 80%. Their scores were unrelated to workplace, duration and type of technology used, or gender. Nursing informatics competencies correlated significantly with age and work experience (p = 0.001). Age correlated negatively with technical computer skills but positively with competence in the implementation of healthcare. There was a positive link with a nurse's position and education level, indicating that nurses with more education acquire higher levels of informatics competencies than those with less education. Additionally, those in higher positions tended to possess more advanced digital competence. Nurse managers play a significant role in training nursing staff members to enhance their informatics competencies. This study's findings underscore the need to raise staff members' informatics competencies by providing additional training.

The Mediating Role of Science Motivation in the Relationship between Computer Literacy and Academic Performance of Grade 6 Learners

In the current digital era, education research is increasingly focusing on the correlation between computer literacy, science motivation, and academic achievement. Thus, this quantitative research aimed to determine the mediating role of science motivation on the relationship between computer literacy and the academic performance of Grade 6 learners during the academic year 2023-2024. Modified and adapted survey questionnaires from the Department of Education Computerization Program (DCP), Cagayan State University – Andrews Campus, and Glynn (2011), using a 5-point Likert scale, were employed for data collection. Analysis involved mean, two-way ANOVA, and path analysis. Results showed that the Grade 6 learners exhibited a high level of computer literacy in terms of computer integration (mean=3.78). The academic performance of Grade 6 learners indicated a very high level in terms of student-related factors (mean=4.3). Concurrently, Grade six learners are often more extrinsically motivated (mean=4.09). Significant indirect relationship was shown between computer literacy and academic performance through science motivation. Significant direct relationship was also shown between computer literacy and academic performance. The total effect estimates of 0.531 (SE = 0.0804, Z = 6.61, p < 0.001) suggests that there is a significant overall relationship between computer literacy and academic performance, regardless of the mediating effect of science motivation. Recommendations can be made for future researches as to longitudinal study, qualitiative researches, and intervention studies.

ПОДАТКОВИЙ КОМПЛАЄНС В СИСТЕМІ УПРАВЛІННЯ ПОДАТКОВИМИ РИЗИКАМИ

The article substantiates the expediency of introducing a tax risk management system (compliance risks) in order to increase the level of tax payers’ compliance with tax legislation. The concept of tax compliance is presented as a set of motives and incentives of taxpayers that encourage them to comply with the requirements of tax legislation. The system of compliance risk management in the field of taxation is schematically presented, which is represented by blocks: the behavior of the taxpayer and the behavior of controlling authorities in relation to taxpayers. The behavior of these subjects is represented by four types, which are combined with each other. It is emphasized that the behavior of the taxpayer can be both lawful (socially necessary, desirable and permissible from the point of view of the interests of civil society, the behavior of individual or collective subjects), and unlawful – socially harmful and unacceptable for individuals and society as a whole. The lawful behavior of a taxpayer is recognized as his fulfillment of his tax obligation, which consists in: compliance with the established procedure for calculating taxes and fees, timely and complete payment of them to the relevant budget, and submission of declarations and/or calculations within the legally established terms. The article examines the types of behavior of taxpayers. It is indicated that the behavior of the taxpayer (Action No. 1) indicates the illegal behavior of the taxpayer, who made a principled decision not to comply with the tax legislation regarding the fulfillment of his tax obligation. The type of behavior (Action No. 2) includes taxpayers who have no desire to fulfill their tax obligations, but these actions do not express their principled position on this issue. The type of behavior (Action No. 3) includes taxpayers who try to comply with the legislation regarding the fulfillment of tax obligations, but do not always have a successful result, i.e., these are those taxpayers who usually take lawful actions (they fulfill their tax obligations in a timely manner and in full obligation), but the main reason for their actions is recognized as: the complexity, high fluidity of tax legislation; low level of computer literacy. The type (Action No. 4) includes taxpayers who comply with the norms of tax legislation and fulfill their tax obligations in a timely manner, that is, they have a high level of tax culture; assume responsibility for compliance with the law; consider compliance to be their moral duty, and take measures to comply with it. Recommendations are given on what the actions of the controlling authorities can be in relation to each category of taxpayers for different types of behavior in the direction of increasing their motivation to fulfill their tax obligations.

A Descriptive Learning Analytics: An Online Learning Programmes and Load-shedding Conundrum

Electricity load-shedding in South Africa has become a new challenge for students pursuing online learning following the Covid-19 outbreak. This article thus investigated the way load-shedding affects students in pursuing the Advanced Certificate in Teaching (ACT) programmes. Pre-Covid-19 and during load-shedding data between 2018 and 2022 was gathered and analysed using a descriptive learning analytics tool. The research took place at a South African university where the researcher is currently employed. Learning analytics data has been available for years, but it is now being effectively harnessed to improve learning and teaching through relatively recent developments in learning analytics tools. However, the load-shedding conundrum works against this objective of harnessing learning and teaching. Research has also shown that in the least developed countries, effective e-learning practices face significant barriers, primarily stemming from insufficient infrastructure, economic challenges, low levels of computer literacy, and the added challenge of power outages. Using a constructivist paradigm, the study employed a mixed qualitative approach, which included desktop historical data and semi-structured interviews. Three participants were purposely selected because of their role in overseeing ACT students situated in both rural and urban areas. The study revealed that numerous programmes were discontinued, enrollment declined, ACT Blended shifted to e-learning, persisting load-shedding conundrum affected e-learning, a low throughput rate, and digital illiteracy contributed to an increased rate of student dropouts. This research recommends that universities should embrace the evolution of e-learning through the digitalisation of learning processes to enhance efficiency. Keywords: Load-shedding, E-learning, Learning Analytics Tools, Declined Enrolment, Low Throughput Rate vs High Distinction Module Pass Rate

SpliceWiz: interactive analysis and visualization of alternative splicing in R.

Alternative splicing (AS) is a crucial mechanism for regulating gene expression and isoform diversity in eukaryotes. However, the analysis and visualization of AS events from RNA sequencing data remains challenging. Most tools require a certain level of computer literacy and the available means of visualizing AS events, such as coverage and sashimi plots, have limitations and can be misleading. To address these issues, we present SpliceWiz, an R package with an interactive Shiny interface that allows easy and efficient AS analysis and visualization at scale. A novel normalization algorithm is implemented to aggregate splicing levels within sample groups, thereby allowing group differences in splicing levels to be accurately visualized. The tool also offers downstream gene ontology enrichment analysis, highlighting ASEs belonging to functional pathways of interest. SpliceWiz is optimized for speed and efficiency and introduces a new file format for coverage data storage that is more efficient than BigWig. Alignment files are processed orders of magnitude faster than other R-based AS analysis tools and on par with command-line tools. Overall, SpliceWiz streamlines AS analysis, enabling reliable identification of functionally relevant AS events for further characterization. SpliceWiz is a Bioconductor package and is also available on GitHub (https://github.com/alexchwong/SpliceWiz).

The Role of Computer Literacy Familiarity in the Adoption of e-Government by Public Sector Workers in Local Government Authorities: A Case of Kigamboni Municipal Council

Public sector workplaces, including local government authorities, have adopted e-Government in recent years to improve service delivery, enhance transparency, and foster citizen engagement. The objective of this research is to examine the impact of computer literacy on e-Government adoption in local government authorities in Tanzania with the focus being on the Kigamboni Municipal Council. A study is conducted to examine how computer literacy familiarity among public sector workers in local government authorities influences the adoption of e-Government. The study adopted the mixed method approach which involves both quantitative and qualitative data. The data was thus collected using interviews and questionnaires with the target population being employees at Kigamboni Municipal Council. Data was analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. It is established in the research that the level of computer literacy and familiarity with technology among public sector workers plays a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of e-Government implementation. Inferential analysis showed that computer literacy drives e-government adoption. Computer literacy's impact on e-government adoption has a mean of 3.27 and a standard deviation of 1.26. E-government usage is similarly affected by computer proficiency, with a mean of 4.5 and SD of 1.40. Computer training is also essential for e-government adoption (Mean; 3.8 SD; 1.34). Computer literacy is both a crucial factor in e-government adoption and a key obstacle at Kigamboni Municipal Council (Mean; 3.1 and SD 1.41). This finding indicates that it would be advantageous for the government to continue implementing training programs with the goal of improving the skills of a majority of participants in utilizing e-Government platforms. The efficacy of e-Government implementation is heavily influenced by the extent of computer literacy and technological proficiency exhibited by public sector employees. The research findings also suggest that the degree of computer literacy possessed by an individual plays a crucial role in determining their proficiency in utilizing e-Government platforms and services. This proficiency encompasses various activities, including conducting transactions, using systems and accessing information via websites and portals. This finding suggests that there are potential benefits for the government in maintaining the implementation of training programs aimed at enhancing the proficiency of a majority of participants in utilizing e-government platforms.

E-learning adoption for sustainable higher education

Electronic learning (E-L) is a profound transition that is occurring in education as a new learning platform in countries across the globe. COVID-19 pandemic has forced all higher education institutions in Sri Lanka to adopt e-learning to maintain sustainable teaching. This study identified the relationships between the main influencing factors of e-learning usage behaviour and, in turn, sustainability in teaching. Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) was used to formulate the research framework and hypotheses. The population of the study was comprised of permanent academics attached to Sri Lankan public universities under the patronage of UGC. The sample size was 357 for the given population size of 5399, and a stratified sampling technique was used to select the sample. The study used a quantitative method under the philosophical assumption of positivism. The researchers have applied Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to test the path association among factors. The result explores the path relationship between exogenous and mediating variables, mediating to an endogenous variable. The research outcome shows that attitude and perceived behavioural control influence e-learning usage but not the subjective norm. While behavioural intention mediates the relationship between attitude and perceived behavioural control and e-learning usage, the latter mediates the association between behavioural intention and sustainability in teaching. Gender, academic position and computer literacy level moderate the causal relationships of the factors influencing sustainability in teaching. Finally, this study concludes that Attitude, Perceived Behavioural Control, Behavioural Intention and E-learning Usage Behaviour are the factors influencing sustainability in teaching. This study recommends universities develop infrastructures, train staff members and establish an office for sustainability development. Furthermore, it recommends that future researchers do longitudinal studies and adopt decomposed TPB.

Комплексная оценка цифрового неравенства в регионах России

The article is devoted to the assessment of digital inequality in the regions of Russia. The authors have developed a comprehensive index based on the concept of three levels of digital inequality. A method of conducting a level-by-level assessment with subsequent integration of the results into a single complex index is proposed. Three groups of statistical indicators were used for the assessment. The first characterizes the features of the population’s access to digital technologies, the second—the skills of using the Internet, and the third—the effectiveness of its use in real life. Based on the calculations performed, maps of digital inequality levels were constructed for the territory of Russia. The results of the study made it possible to compare the level of digital inequality across the subjects of the Russian Federation, identify the regions with the highest and lowest levels of digital inequality, and draw conclusions about the causes affecting the level of computer literacy of the population of the regions. The study revealed that there are infrastructure problems with access in remote regions, economic constraints among low-income groups, and a lack of skills among rural populations and older age groups. Some regions, such as the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, show high levels of computer skills among the population despite a low level of infrastructure development. In other regions, such as the North Caucasus, there is a poor level of infrastructure development, low levels of computer literacy, and the lowest efficiency in using technology to improve quality of life. The strategy for digitalization of the economy in such regions should consider not only investments in digital infrastructure but also programs to improve the computer skills of the population.
