RETRACTED ARTICLE: A new method for evaluating information system growth of SMEs based on improved BP neural network

Small and medium-sized enterprises are an important part of China’s economy. At the same time, under the background of public entrepreneurship, innovation is also the engine and growth point of China’s economic development. Therefore, we should do a good job in supporting and subsidizing small and medium-sized enterprises, so that the stronger the small and medium-sized enterprises are, the bigger they are. Let the first step go back and let SMEs be everywhere. It is an important work of the government and society. In this paper, Bayesian regularization algorithm is used to improve the generalization ability of BP network, improve BP neural network model, and use neural network to study the historical information of SMEs in government information system to predict the future development and growth of new business and investment, so as to improve the evaluation index. It is compared with historical data. Finally, the evaluation method that can reasonably predict the growth of SMEs is put forward. It is validated by enterprise data in the next few years.

Multi-Agent Architecture of Intelligent and Distributed Platform of Governance, Risk and Compliance of Information Systems

Governance, risk management and compliance of information technologies (IT GRC) is the responsibility of the company’s executives. The IT GRC responds to the important concerns of information systems managers, to ensure the necessary changes in the Information System (IS) over time, and enable it to meet the needs of risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, value creation and strategic alignment. Like a large number of organizations' activities, the IT GRC has to find a solution that is equipped through IS applications. Although these tools do exist, they are never developed by considering the IT GRC processes as a whole. We respond to this lack of consideration by proposing an intelligent and distributed platform of risk, governance and compliance of information systems that deploys a variety of IT GRC best practices and frameworks and makes an intelligent choice under constraints and parameters of the best framework to evaluate the objectives and processes in question. EAS-COM (communication system dedicated to the IT GRC platform) is our second proposal in this work: it ensures end-to-end communication between the different layers of the proposed IT GRC platform. This approach is based on Multi-Agent System (MAS) intelligence to manage the interactions between the distributed systems of the IT GRC platform.

The cloud computing adoption in higher learning institutions in Kenya: Hindering factors and recommendations for the way forward

Cloud computing technology has revolutionized the delivery of computing services to the consumers as customized services on demand making them cost effective and resource efficient. However, various challenges hinder the adoption of this technology, especially in educational institutions. This paper explores the factors that information technology (IT) leaders consider to be impeding the adoption of cloud-computing in institutions of higher learning in Kenya. A quantitative investigation using an online questionnaire was used to conduct this study in the 69 accredited universities and colleges in Kenya. The study findings were statistically analyzed to rank the level of influence of the factors that under investigation. The key factors identified as hindering the adoption of cloud computing include concerns about the reliability of Cloud Service providers and lack of skills in cloud computing. Also, there are concerns about inadequate support and training from Cloud Service providers and government policies on cloud computing, data security and confidentiality. Role based training for Cloud services users, proactive management of Cloud services and implementation of information systems governance policies are recommended to address these concerns. These recommendations have been discussed and consolidated into a framework for adoption of cloud computing that can also be applied by educational institutions in other developing countries to assist the key stakeholders in guiding their decision-making process on adoption of cloud computing. Although the study is limited to accredited universities and colleges in Kenya, it comes at a convenient time when the Kenyan government is launching e-learning in all public primary schools. There is however not much research that had been done especially on cloud computing in Kenyan educational institutions. This study, therefore, adds new insights on what needs to be considered and addressed to facilitate the adoption of cloud computing in institutions of higher education.

Token-based Single Sign-on with JWT as Information System Dashboard for Government

Various web-based information systems are developed by Indonesian government to improve quality of services for their society. It encourages users, generally civil servants, to perform different authentications on used information systems and have to remember credentials. Account management of the users poses another challenge for administrators. Single Sign-On (SSO) can be the solution by providing a service of centralized authentication and user account management. This study applies a token-based SSO architecture and uses Json Web Token (JWT) to grant permission authorities, since JWT can provide a claim process between 2 parties. Additionally, the built-in dashboard lists associated information systems to facilitate accessing for the authenticated users. This study will discuss JWT implementation on the dashboard of government information systems that implements SSO, which will generate the permission authorities securely for connected information systems on SSO.

Automatic CV processing for scientific research using data mining algorithm

To manage and measure the performance of scientific research at the university, managers or policymakers need synthetic indicators that are cleverly grouped in several indicators which aim to offer to the leaders the necessary tools, so as to improve scientific research. The governance of information system has posed a serious challenge for the leadership of universities especially through the use of decision aid. In order to improve the information system, especially scientific research, a study of automatizing curriculum vitae for researchers of different disciplines belonging to various research laboratories is discussed in this paper. The use of natural language processing with data mining classifier Decision Tree is presented in order to predict the field of work of each researcher. The choice of Decision Tree classifier among One Rule classifier and Naive Bayes classifier is not arbitrary; it is chosen by comparing performance metrics- such as Precision, Recall, F-measure, Correctly Classify Instance, Incorrectly Classify Instance, Kappa Statistic, Root Mean Squad Error, Relative Absolute Error, and Root Relative Squad Error.

Security, privacy'); drop table users; - and forced trust in the information age?

In this study, we discuss forced trust in the context of information systems, information society and surveillance. Trust definitions and concepts pertinent to the discussion are examined and portrayed with case examples of forced trust in different situations that are central to the information society. As forced trust appears mostly in governmental information systems, we reflect the concept from security and privacy point-of-view, concepts that are important for users of such systems in the current age of information. We portray the trust landscape of critical governmental information systems and discuss forced trust also in the context of Internet infrastructure and mass surveillance. We provide a glimpse of an information society that combines security, trust, and privacy, while also providing discussion on what kind of trust dynamics such a utopia would require.

Students\u2019 perception of Kahoot!\u2019s influence on teaching and learning

Technology is being increasingly integrated into teaching environments in view of enhancing students’ engagement and motivation. In particular, game-based student response systems have been found to foster students’ engagement, enhance classroom dynamics and improve overall students’ learning experience. This article presents outcomes of research that examined students’ experience using a game-based student response system, Kahoot!, in an Information Systems Strategy and Governance course at a research-intensive teaching university in New Zealand. We conducted semi-structured interviews with students to learn about the extent to which Kahoot! influence classroom dynamics, motivation and students’ learning process. Key findings revealed that Kahoot! enriched the quality of student learning in the classroom, with the highest influence reported on classroom dynamics, engagement, motivation and improved learning experience. Our findings also suggest that the use of educational games in the classroom is likely to minimise distractions, thereby improving the quality of teaching and learning beyond what is provided in conventional classrooms. Other factors that contributed to students’ enhanced learning included the creation and integration of appropriate content in Kahoot!, providing students with timely feedback, and game-play (gamification) strategies.

A process model for implementing information systems security governance

Purpose The frequent and increasingly potent cyber-attacks because of lack of an optimal mix of technical as well as non-technical IT controls has led to increased adoption of security governance controls by organizations. The purpose of this paper, thus, is to construct and empirically validate an information security governance (ISG) process model through the plan–do–check–act (PDCA) cycle model of Deming. Design/methodology/approach This descriptive research using an interpretive paradigm follows a qualitative methodology using expert interviews of five respondents working in the ISG domain in United Arab Emirates (UAE) to validate the theoretical model. Findings The findings of this paper suggest the primacy of the PDCA Deming cycle for initiating ISG through a risk-based approach assisted by industry-wide best practices in ISG. Regarding selection of ISG frameworks, respondents preferred to have ISO 27K supported by NIST as the core framework with other relevant ISG frameworks/standards forming the peripheral layer. The implementation focus of the ISG model is on mapping ISO 27K/NIST IT controls relevant IT controls selected from ISG frameworks from a horizontal and vertical perspective. Respondents asserted the automation of measurement and control mechanism through automation to assist in the feedback loop of the PDCA cycle. Originality/value The validated model helps academics and practitioners gain insight into the methodology of the phased implementation of an information systems governance process through the PDCA model, as well as the positioning of ITG and ITG frameworks in ISG. Practitioners can glean valuable insights from the empirical section of the research where experts detail the success factors, the sequential steps and justification of these factors in the ISG implementation process.

How the Implementation of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 Management Information System Influenced Innovation: The Case of Small and Medium Enterprises in Indonesia

Management Information System is a planning system in an organization that involves management of internal controls such as the use of resources, documents, technology, and management accounting as one of the strategies in business. Management information systems in the business or corporate world aim to collect, process, store and analyze information and then disseminate it for specific purposes. Management information systems function as a reference for decision making in an organization or company and management functions are applied in business. The difference in information requirements will lead to different data that must be entered and the management information system format used. Reality states that many management information systems in various government and private institutions have various problems including integration issues, ease of use, ease of access, ease of adaptation to changing conditions and the ability to produce management information as needed. The purpose of this study was to determine how much the application of the industrial revolution 4.0 management information system influenced innovation. This method is a descriptive and verification method, the analytical tool is structural equation modeling (SEM, Lisrel). The results showed that innovation affected the implementation of the industrial revolution 4.0 management information system.

Brazilian bird collections: a decade after Aleixo & Straube (2007)

We compiled the main results of a second diagnosis of Brazilian ornithological collections. Our starting point was the survey by A. Aleixo and F. Straube, with data up to 2005 and published in 2007. Ten years later, in 2015, curators or managers from 35 collections of birds (out of 59) answered 12 questions related to the status of the collection they curate. These collections cover all regions of the country, and many have grown in number of specimens, especially in northeastern Brazil. As verified by Aleixo & Straube, most ornithological Brazilian collections are concentrated in southeastern and southern Brazil (66%). Also, some basic shortcomings persist, such as the lack of specialized curators, taxidermists, and access to digitalized information. The three oldest and biggest collections (Museu Nacional da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro - MN, Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi - MPEG and Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo -MZUSP) together continue to hold more than half of all Brazilian ornithological specimens and 83% of all type specimen. Some collections, (especially new ones) have been actively collecting and preparing specimens in a much-diversified way, saving different body parts of a single individual as distinct types of materials. Government and other online data information systems (e.g., Brazilian Biodiversity Information System -SiBBr and Center for Reference in Environmental Information -CRIA) have been developed, and now provide digital data from some relevant collections. Brazilian ornithological collections are completely or partially digitized (85%), although for most specimens and collections, data are not freely available and is mostly accessed between researchers. Despite the efforts of some researchers and institutions, improvements in the maintenance and protection of the collections are still necessary. Nevertheless, we conclude that the situation of Brazilian ornithological collections has improved in the past 10 years. Finally, herein we propose a rank for Brazilian ornithological collections classifying them according their role for both research and education activities, which are considered in the current bibliography as key roles of natural history collections.

Government information systems to monitor complementary feeding programs for young children.

Accelerating progress to improve complementary feeding of young children is a global priority. Strengthening monitoring through government information systems may increase the quality and implementation of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) programs. Monitoring is necessary for the effective implementation of programs as it allows program managers to assess program performance, identify problems, and take corrective action. Program descriptions and conceptual models explain how program inputs and activities should lead to outputs and outcomes, and ultimately public health impact; thus, they are critical tools when designing effective IYCF programs and monitoring systems as these descriptions and conceptual models form the basis for the program and are key for developing the monitoring system, indicators, and tools. Despite their importance, many programs do not have these documented, nor monitoring plans, limiting their ability to design effective programs and monitoring systems. Once in place, it is important to periodically review the monitoring system to confirm it still appropriately meets stakeholder needs and the data are being used to inform decision-making, and to make program adjustments as the monitoring focus, resources, or capacity may change during the program lifecycle. Including priority indicators of IYCF practices and counseling indicators in the government information systems may strengthen IYCF programs when the indicators are contextualized to the government IYCF program, capacity, and setting, and the indicators are used for decision-making and program improvement.

SUSTAINABILITY OF THE BRAZILIAN ECONOMY USING THE SYSTEM PUBLIC FUNDS TRANSFERS IN SICONV

Decree No. 6,170/2007 regulated agreements, transfer agreements and terms of decentralized execution signed by federal public administration’s organs and entities with organs or, public or private nonprofit entities for the implementation of programs, projects and activities involving the transfer of resources and decentralization of credits arising from the Union's Fiscal and Social Security Budget; and created the Agreements and Transfer Agreements Management System - SICONV, open to the public, through the Portal of Agreements. SICONV initiated a new era in public management; as it renewed the relationship between Federal Government and its organs; and public and private entities signing agreements, transfer agreements and terms of partnership celebrated with Union’s resources. This initiative automated transfers’ processes, since all procedures are now performed and recorded in this system. SICONV covers all operations of the voluntary transfers life cycle, from the provision of resources to accountability, and it is seamlessly integrated with the main structuring systems of the Federal Government. Thus, SICONV established itself in the Public Administration as a major transformation system that enabled and consolidated changes in many patterns and concepts - currently already established - of how voluntary transfers were executed.
