Challenges in the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act in Nigeria

This study examined the Challenges in the Implementation of Freedom of Information Act in Nigeria. The research therefore focused on two States in the South-South Region of Nigeria to examine the issues and evaluate the implementation of Freedom of Information Act of 2011. The research objectives include: to ascertain the awareness level of public agencies and institutions on the implementation of FoIA; to determine the constraints in accessing information in agencies and institutions of government resulting in poor implementation; to find out the extent agencies and institutions of government sustain the old order of secrecy in the management of information; and to find out alternative ways the provisions of the Act could be better implemented for easy access to information. The research work adopted the survey method to deeply explicate the issues and questionnaire was used as the research instrument with sample size of 362 out of 6,094 of the population generated from the Australian Calculator. The study found out that a good number of respondents were aware of FoIA but have not or their institutions have not complied with the required implementation of the Act; and that secrecy, bureaucracy, poor record keeping, inadequate knowledge of the provisions of the Act, corruption, and lack of enforcement are some of the inhibiting factors to the implementation of FoIA. It was also found that there is poor public attitude towards openness, transparency and accountability due to narrow mindsets in doing government business under confidentiality. Based on the findings, the study recommended mass enlightenment for public knowledge and understanding of FoIA beyond mere awareness, good record keeping and adoption of modern information management system.

Evaluating flexible criteria on uncertain data

Modern information management systems and databases are rapidly becoming better equipped for handling data imperfections. A common imperfection is uncertainty, indicating that a property's exact value is not known. Ideally, such systems can be queried uniformly using flexible criteria regardless of whether the underlying data are uncertain or not. The result thereof should always be informative and intuitive, and should reflect to what degree the data satisfy the criteria and to which degree this is uncertain. In this work, we present a novel way to evaluate flexible criteria on uncertain data. The result thereof is a distribution of uncertainty over degrees of satisfaction. These so-called suitability distributions are first constructed for possibilistic data. It is shown that they can be used in all scenarios going from regular, crisp criteria on certain data to flexible criteria on uncertain data, and that they seamlessly generalize other alternatives. Importantly, their interpretation is always the same, so they can be used without needing to have prior knowledge regarding the quality of the data. Afterwards their properties and supported operations are given. Next it is shown that they can also be applied more broadly, for example for probabilistic data. Examples illustrate their rich semantics, ease-of-use and broad applicability.

LUNARINFO: A Data Archiving and Retrieving System for the Circumlunar Explorer Based on XML/Web Services

Abstract It is essential to build a modern information management system to store and manage data of our circumlunar explorer in order to realize the scientific objectives. It is difficult for an information system based on traditional distributed technology to communicate information and work together among heterogeneous systems in order to meet the new requirement of Internet development. XML and Web Services, because of their open standards and self‐containing properties, have changed the mode of information organization and data management. Now they can provide a good solution for building an open, extendable, and compatible information management system, and facilitate interchanging and transferring of data among heterogeneous systems. On the basis of the three‐tiered browse/server architectures and the Oracle 9i Database as an information storage platform, we have designed and implemented a data archiving and retrieval system for the circumlunar explorer—LUNARINFO. We have also successfully realized the integration between LUNARINFO and the cosmic dust database system. LUNARINFO consists of five function modules for data management, information publishing, system management, data retrieval, and interface integration. Based on XML and Web Services, it not only is an information database system for archiving, long‐term storing, retrieving and publication of lunar reference data related to the circumlunar explorer, but also provides data web Services which can be easily developed by various expert groups and connected to the common information system to realize data resource integration.

Informatics in Dental Education: A Horizon of Opportunity

Computers have presented society with the largest array of opportunities since the printing press. More specifically in dental education they represent the path to freedom from the memory-based curriculum. Computers allow us to be constantly in touch with the entire scope of knowledge necessary for decision making in every aspect of the process of preparing young men and women to practice dentistry. No longer is it necessary to spend the energy or time previously used to memorize facts, test for retention of facts or be concerned with remembering facts when dealing with our patients. Modern information management systems can assume that task allowing dentists to concentrate on understanding, skill, judgement and wisdom while helping patients deal with their problems within a health care system that is simultaneously baffling in its complexity and overflowing with options. This paper presents a summary of the choices facing dental educators as computers continue to afford us the freedom to look differently at teaching, research and practice. The discussion will elaborate some of the ways dental educators must think differently about the educational process in order to utilize fully the power of computers in curriculum development and tracking, integration of basic and clinical teaching, problem solving, patient management, record keeping and research. Some alternative strategies will be discussed that may facilitate the transition from the memory-based to the computer-based curriculum and practice.

Why bother with a computerized scheduling system?

Patient scheduling is often included as a module available in modern information management systems. The functionality of a scheduling module can vary greatly. A complete scheduling system combines rules related to each examination room with rules concerning the procedure itself. Duplicate exams can be avoided while picking the most optimal time slot available. The benefits of such a scheduling system include reduction in scheduling delays, a reduction in patient waiting time, improved patient through-put, improved clinical history information, and improved billing accuracy and completeness.
