Everyday life information means while reflecting in the individual consciousness on postmodern reality background

The purpose of the article is a detailed analysis of information means of reflecting objective reality,in an individual consciousness in a postmodern society. The methodology is based on the use of activity,systemic, socio-cultural approaches, as well as methods of comparative and terminological analysis. Thescientific novelty of work is that the means of reflecting everyday reality in the individual consciousness areinvestigated. Mechanisms of influence of information technologies of mass communication on social identity,lifestyle, and culture, in general, are analyzed. It has been proved that social and cultural phenomena such aspost-folklore, ritualization, mythology, enigmatic narratives play an important role in the process of awarenessof objective reality. It is justified that the consciousness of the individual is in a total space created by masscommunication, and therefore the perception of everyday reality occurs under the influence of informationtechnologies. A significant role in modern society is played by the processes of demassification of everydaylife, which generate pluralism and a variety of thoughts; entertainment and humor are the main factors inthe manipulation of individual and social consciousness. Conclusions. Postmodern reality determines theemergence and development of such phenomena of everyday life, which turn into an important means ofinfluencing the social, and especially the individual consciousness. Everyday life through means of masscommunication is reflected as an image of reality in the individual’s brain, is realized and reproduced as asubjective reality. Scientific exploration in this area will always be relevant since everyday life in modernpostmodern society is an important specific source of society development, the meeting space of philosophy,psychology, social communications, and culture. In our further research, we plan to study in more detail theimpact of post-folklore on the consciousness of the individual in postmodern reality.Keywords: subjective reality, everyday life, enigmatic narratives, mythologization, ritualization, postfolklore, postmodernism, demassification.

Motivational factors of pro-environmental behaviors among information technology professionals

This study explores the motivational factors that influence information technology (IT) professionals’ pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs). Based on the self-determination theory (SDT), autonomous and controlled motivations were posited as determinants of PEBs. Besides, the green human resource management (GHRM) literature was integrated to examine the direct and indirect effects of GHRM practices. The hypothesized model was tested using data collected from 333 IT professionals in Malaysia. The results supported the view that autonomous motivation and GHRM practices have significant effects on PEBs. Also, GHRM was a significant moderator of the effect of autonomous motivation on PEBs. On the contrary, the hypotheses that controlled motivation has a constraining effect, and GHRM has a moderating effect on PEBs were not supported. Thus, this study extends the SDT by incorporating GHRM literature to demonstrate that IT professionals’ PEBs are associated with environmental practices based on interest and value.

Skills Development Factors of Information Technology Competency Among External Auditors

This study examines the skill development factors influencing Information Technology (IT) competency in respect of external auditors. It applies the human capital theory (HCT) as the underpinning theory to develop the research framework. A questionnaire is administered to 328 external auditors in public and private audit companies in Yemen. Data are analysed via the partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach to examine the posited research hypotheses. The PLS-SEM approach reveals that self-direct learning is the strongest factor that influences the IT competency of auditors. This is followed by accounting education that records a significant positive effect on IT competency. The originality of this study is the application of the quantitative method to investigate the factors that influence IT competency among external auditors in developing countries, such as Yemen, who are facing the issue of low level IT competency in doing their tasks. The results underpin new and extensive inputs into skills and enlarge the emergent literature related to skills and competency development in IT.

A fuzzy mobile decision support system for diagnosing of the angiographic status of heart disease

In estimating the risk of heart disease due to non-deterministic risk factors, often diagnosis of angiographic disease is difficult for physicians. For modeling and application of this uncertain and imprecise modality, decision support systems based on fuzzy logic are appropriate and an effective approach. Smartphone-based applications can facilitate the efficient use of these systems in form of evidence-based medicine. The aim of this applied study was developing and evaluating an application to diagnose angiographic disease conditions and the severity of heart attacks through a smartphone-based clinical decision support system. Android application development environment was utilized after extraction of linguistic rules and definition of membership functions needed for decisions. A smartphone-based application was designed using these guidelines and utilizing fuzzy modeling. Then, the app was evaluated in terms of accuracy using the popular Cleveland dataset. According to the results, 10 fuzzy rules for modeling, seven input variables and one decision variable were extracted. Programming was done in Eclipse. The evaluation results indicate that the accuracy of the program was 94%. Decision support systems within the context of mobile health have become some of the most efficient and influential information technology tools in recent years. They can improve patient-care management, provide easier access to the information needed for healthcare decisions and ultimately reduce healthcare costs while improving its quality.

Strategic IT management: how companies can benefit from an increasing IT influence

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the value of a strong decision-making information technology (IT) influence within organizations. Although research and managerial practice has repeatedly shown the importance of IT departments within firms and has commented on the influence of IT departments on business performance, prior research has still no evidence about the value of a strong decision-making IT influence yet.Design/methodology/approachTo prove the influence of the IT department within the company, this study identifies and operationalizes a formative construct determined by four main specifics of the IT department: IT department size, IT department value assessment, IT experience of the top management and degree of digitization. A questionnaire was used to collect the data of 124 experts from companies that could be assigned mainly to the sectors manufacturing, trade as well as information and communication. The data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Further, partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was used to test the proposed model.FindingsThe results show that both investments in the size of the IT department as well as in top managers with IT experience, and a high degree of digitization in a company positively influence the role of the IT department. It also shows that a higher general appreciation of the IT department goes hand in hand with a higher influence of IT in the company. The measures are significant as companies, which do have an influential IT department, actually have higher monetary as well as non-monetary business performances.Practical implicationsThe study is aimed equally at science and practice, as it provides information on the extent to which more importance should be attached to IT management in the future and what organizational adjustments need to be made.Originality/valueDespite the ongoing discussions on the importance of IT management for business performance, no existing studies have delivered evidence that there is a significant direct link between the decision-making influence of IT and the extent of corporate performance. The present work therefore has two objectives. The theoretical goal is to clarify the impact of the IT department on business performance and to identify the factors that make up an influential IT department. The practical objective of the research is to provide recommendations on how firms could establish or expand the IT department.

Application of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology.

Artificial intelligence is a general term that means to accomplish a task mainly by a computer, with the least human beings participation, and it is widely accepted as the invention of robots. With the development of this new technology, artificial intelligence has been one of the most influential information technology revolutions. We searched these English-language studies relative to ophthalmology published on PubMed and Springer databases. The application of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology mainly concentrates on the diseases with a high incidence, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinopathy of prematurity, age-related or congenital cataract and few with retinal vein occlusion. According to the above studies, we conclude that the sensitivity of detection and accuracy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy ranged from 75% to 91.7%, for non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy ranged from 75% to 94.7%, for age-related macular degeneration it ranged from 75% to 100%, for retinopathy of prematurity ranged over 95%, for retinal vein occlusion just one study reported ranged over 97%, for glaucoma ranged 63.7% to 93.1%, and for cataract it achieved a more than 70% similarity against clinical grading.

Green IS diffusion in organizations: a model and empirical results from Malaysia

This article examines the variables that influence information technology (IT) executives’ intention towards diffusing Green Information System (IS) for environmental sustainability attainment in organizations by utilizing IS as a solution to resolve the issues caused by traditional IT usage. Through the review of prior Green IS and Green IT studies, this article proposes a Green IS structural model based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, after which survey data were collected from IT executives in various organizations in Malaysia. With 133 valid survey datasets at hand, partial least square-structural equation modelling method was employed to analyse the survey replies. Results show that human infrastructure, administrative policies, IS infrastructure, institutional pressure, IS strategy and knowledge accessibility significantly influence Green IS diffusion. In addition, results disclose that the moderating variable age of IT executives positively influences their behaviour towards adopting Green IS, whereas the gender, education and experience does not influences their behaviour towards Green IS diffusion. Further results reveal that control variables size, sector and revenue of the organization do not influence Green IS diffusion in organizations. Theoretical implication of this research contributes to existing knowledge on Green IS diffusion behaviours of IT executives towards environmental sustainability by offering an agenda and empirically exploring Green IS practice in organizations. Practical implication for this study provides empirical evidence from IT executives emphasizing that Green IS is capable of decreasing the environmental effects of traditional IT infrastructure deployment in organizations.

DTRM: A new reputation mechanism to enhance data trustworthiness for high-performance cloud computing

Cloud computing and the mobile Internet have been the two most influential information technology revolutions, which intersect in mobile cloud computing (MCC). The burgeoning MCC enables the large-scale collection and processing of big data, which demand trusted, authentic, and accurate data to ensure an important but often overlooked aspect of big data — data veracity. Troublesome internal attacks launched by internal malicious users is one key problem that reduces data veracity and remains difficult to handle. To enhance data veracity and thus improve the performance of big data computing in MCC, this paper proposes a Data Trustworthiness enhanced Reputation Mechanism (DTRM) which can be used to defend against internal attacks. In the DTRM, the sensitivity-level based data category, Metagraph theory based user group division, and reputation transferring methods are integrated into the reputation query and evaluation process. The extensive simulation results based on real datasets show that the DTRM outperforms existing classic reputation mechanisms under bad mouthing attacks and mobile attacks.

Helsinki: A software sorted city? A case study of the geodemographics industry in Finland

Over the past ten years or so, social scientists have started to pay an increasing amount of interest in the role that computer software is playing in contemporary urban environments. So far, approaches that treat information technologies as increasingly constitutive of the social world have been missing in Finnish Sociology. On the other hand, after an initial period of activity around sociological analysis of various information technologies in the UK, there has been something of a lull. This paper takes one example of influential information technology, geodemographic neighbourhood segmentation software, and analyses it in the context of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The analysis consists of three parts. First, based on existing literature, a brief history of Helsinki is provided. Secondly, commercial geodemographics of Helsinki are analysed in detail from the perspective of Finnish Urban Sociology. The analysis pays specific attention to the problems that arise when a classification scheme developed in the UK is translated in to the historical and cultural context of a Nordic welfare State. Finally, the paper looks at the theoretical debates around geodemographics, and considers directions for future research in the area. After all, the inundation of digital data in our culture has not only been seen as a new subject of inquiry for social science, but as an intensifying methodological challenge for the entire discipline.

The Influence of IT Management Sophistication and IT Support on IT Success in Small and Medium‐Sized Enterprises

This study examined three factors that influence information technology (IT) success in smalland medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs): internal IT support, external IT support, and IT management.Using survey data gathered from 289 small and medium‐sized Chartered Accounting firmsin New Zealand, the results suggest that IT management in SMEs is best understood as a multidimensionalconcept consisting of practices related to: IT planning, IT organizing, IT controlling,and IT leading. This view clarifies and improves our understanding of the nature and characterof IT management in SMEs. The results show that some SMEs are significantly more sophisticatedthan others in terms of their IT management practices. Both IT planning and IT leading werefound to influence IT success.

ICT USE: THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL DIMENSIONS ON THE NEED FOR MEDIA RICHNESS AND TECHNOLOGICAL RICHNESS

Globalization is one of the major forces behind the growing need to know the extent to which culture and context-related variables influence information technology (IT) use. In this study, data collected from Chinese and Canadian managers was used to assess the impact of cultural dimensions on the extent to which people are interested in both media richness and technological features associated with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The results showed that there is a significant difference between Canadian and Chinese managers in terms of their interest in media richness. The results also showed that there is no relationship between cultural dimensions and peoples’ interest in technological features like storage capacity, data accessibility, and ability to access messages anytime, anywhere.

Diffusion of Computer Aided Design Technology in Architectural Design Practice

Computer aided design (CAD) technology is one of the most influential information technology (IT) innovations of the last four decades. This paper studies the factors that influence the spread of this important IT innovation in the context of the Turkish architectural design practice. It builds on the innovation diffusion theory which proposes that internal (i.e., copying behaviors of others) and external influence (i.e., complying with clients' requirements, changes in government regulations, demand conditions, and consulting firms' suggestions) factors drive diffusion of an innovation. The paper empirically tests the propositions of innovation diffusion theory by using three mathematical models: The internal influence model, the external influence model, and the mixed influence model. Research findings point out that the mixed influence model has the highest exploratory power. They show that the diffusion of CAD technology in architectural design practice is primarily driven by internal rather than external influence factors. This study is of importance to researchers because this is the first application of the influence models to the study of the diffusion of CAD technology in architectural design practice. It is also of relevance to design practitioners since the findings should provide a useful guide in their decision to adopt or not to adopt CAD technology.

Development of a user-centred IT strategy: A case study

This case study documents a twelve month programme of work commissioned by a major British telecommunications and broadcasting company. The brief was to develop a corporate strategy for the effective exploitation of Information Technology (IT) which took due account of human and organizational requirements of IT. The paper explains how human factors principles were applied within this organizational context to develop a user-centred IT strategy. The approach involved the application of a simultaneous 'top down' and 'bottom up' approach. The 'top down' analyses established the corporate goals of the company to be supported by IT. The 'bottom up' data collection process revealed the realities and limitations of IT use in the company. The gap between the desired future requirements of IT in the company and the present experience of IT 'on the ground' was thus made explicit and clear. Specifying the required infrastructure, the policies, procedures, processes and mechanisms necessary to close this gap provided the agenda for the IT strategy development process. It was considered crucial that the eventual strategy should be 'owned' by key stakeholders (i.e. influential IT providers and senior managers of user departments) as well as by end-users. Involvement of end-users was promoted by assigning to them the task of collecting interview data on user experience of IT in the company. This user experience data informed (as one of several inputs) the deliberations of the key stakeholders given the task of agreeing the key components of a corporate IT strategy. In a workshop setting, the stakeholders discussed and eventually agreed a draft strategy document to recommend to the Board of Directors who had commissioned the exercise. In due course the IT strategy document was accepted by the Board and implementation set in motion. The IT strategy development process described in this paper indicates that the systematic application of HF principles to corporate strategy formulation can be viable and effective. However it is evident that such an exercise can only succeed where there is whole-hearted commitment to a user-centred process by key individuals in an organization.
