미디어 이용, 사회적 상황, 낙관적 편견이 코로나19 예방행동의도에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

This paper studied the influence of media use, social circumstances and optimistic bias on COVID-19 preventive behavior intention. The hypotheses of the paper consist of three parts. First, the paper investigated the effects of media use on COVID-19 preventive behavior intention. Second, the effects of social circumstances on COVID-19 preventive behavior intention were analyzed. Finally, the effect of optimistic bias on COVID-19 preventive behavior intention was analyzed. Those hypotheses were verified using a survey of 1000 adults in Korea conducted by the Korea Press Foundation. The results showed that women and older people were more likely to show preventive behavior intention. The uses of internet portal services and the government home page were positively related to but face-to-face communication was negatively related to COVID-19 preventive behavior intention. The evaluations of medical center response, and others response were positively related to COVID-19 preventive behavior intention. Finally, optimistic bias was negatively related to COVID-19 preventive behavior intention.

Analyzing the Aftermath of PSB Micro Service Portal Implementation in India

‘PSB Portal’ is a micro-service digital platform which primarily connects funding needs of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to Banks for business. It is a strategic initiative of SIBDI with five other Public Sector Banks and was launched by Government of India, in November 2018, to provide loans to MSMEs of up to Rs.1 crore. The main motive of this initiative is to ease the process of fund availability to MSMEs and decrease the turnaround time of credit delivery to MSME sector. The new ‘PSB portal’ also makes it possible to provide timely finance at reasonable and competitive rates of interest to MSME sector. MSME sector forms a vital component of the economy in terms of their contribution to employment generation, exports and inclusive growth. One-third of the country's GDP is contributed by more than 50 million MSMEs in India. Thus, the role of MSMEs in the economic and social development of the country is not to be over-looked. There is need for finance that meets the life-cycle needs of MSMEs with a strong oversight mechanism in Banks to see that MSME-related lending policies are implemented at the operating level, is high. Such measures by the Government would serve the purpose of ease of access to funding requirements of MSME’s and also help open new avenues for Banks to increase their business while tapping new customers thereby increasing their priority sector assets. It will make formal banking more inclusive and deepen the roots of financial inclusion via digitization in the economy. After almost after a year of this initiative, on September 5 2019, Retail products (Home Loan Personal Loan and Auto Loan) were also added to the portal to increase the ease of credit to retail customers to further facilitate purchasing power in the economy. This paper will analyse the challenges faced by the Bankers while financing MSMEs via PSB portal and the reasons for rejection of the applications with further prospects of the scheme.

A STUDY OF ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE, PERCEPTION AND ATTITUDE OF USING TELE HEALTH SERVICES AMONG COLLEGE GOING STUDENTS OF UTTARAKHAND

Tele medicine or Tele health services are available in the world before 1970. Recent surge has been observed in the tele medicine during Covid 19. It is observed that tele health services usage has increased from 11% to 70% and the satisfaction level among the patients is around 78% in US and China. As per the Press information bureau report, in India around 35000 patients use E Sanjeevni portal for tele health services. The purpose of the study is to assess the knowledge perception and attitude towards tele health services by the students because they are young generation and their adoption rate of technology and skill set in technology is very high. A questionnaire was floated through Google forms to students of various colleges in Uttarakhand primarily in the district of Dehradun, Haridwar and Nainital. Around 1000 students were targeted through their Gmail accounts and WhatsApp groups. It was found that there is lack of awareness among students about telemedicine apps and related aspects; there perception towards it is positive as they want to use it as well as willing to refer it as well. It is concluded that telehealth services can be boon for a state like Uttarakhand as the health infrastructure is poor in the state because of its geography. If the organization providing telehealth services will try to improve awareness, the willingness to adapt telehealth services will be very high.

Utility of a Telephone Triage Hotline in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Longitudinal Observational Study.

BackgroundDuring the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, rapidly rising disease prevalence in the United States created a demand for patient-facing information exchanges that addressed questions and concerns about the disease. One approach to managing increased patient volumes during a pandemic involves the implementation of telephone-based triage systems. During a pandemic, telephone triage hotlines can be employed in innovative ways to conserve medical resources and offer useful population-level data about disease symptomatology and risk factor profiles.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to describe and evaluate the COVID-19 telephone triage hotline used by a large academic medical center in the midwestern United States.MethodsMichigan Medicine established a telephone hotline to triage inbound patient calls related to COVID-19. For calls received between March 24, 2020, and May 5, 2020, we described total call volume, data reported by callers including COVID-19 risk factors and symptomatology, and distribution of callers to triage algorithm endpoints. We also described symptomatology reported by callers who were directed to the institutional patient portal (online medical visit questionnaire).ResultsA total of 3929 calls (average 91 calls per day) were received by the call center during the study period. The maximum total number of daily calls peaked at 211 on March 24, 2020. Call volumes were the highest from 6 AM to 11 AM and during evening hours. Callers were most often directed to the online patient portal (1654/3929, 42%), nursing hotlines (1338/3929, 34%), or employee health services (709/3929, 18%). Cough (126/370 of callers, 34%), shortness of breath (101/370, 27%), upper respiratory infection (28/111, 25%), and fever (89/370, 24%) were the most commonly reported symptoms. Immunocompromised state (23/370, 6%) and age >65 years (18/370, 5%) were the most commonly reported risk factors.ConclusionsThe triage algorithm successfully diverted low-risk patients to suitable algorithm endpoints, while directing high-risk patients onward for immediate assessment. Data collected from hotline calls also enhanced knowledge of symptoms and risk factors that typified community members, demonstrating that pandemic hotlines can aid in the clinical characterization of novel diseases.

Problems of forming a regional quasi-market of social services: from paternalism to competition

The article reflects the results of the analysis of the problems of the formation of a regional quasi-market of social services using the example of the Yaroslavl region in the transition from a state monopoly to competitive relations. It was revealed that the product market boundaries and requirements for the quality of services provided were formed during the Soviet period for state and municipal social services, which creates institutional barriers to entry of socially oriented non-profit organizations into the market. The share of non-governmental social services in the provision of social services in the Yaroslavl region is no more than 20%, and the number of NGOs officially included in the register of social service providers is 3 units. Thus, the authors concluded that the quasi-market of social services is in the process of formation, and it can be described as a “proto-market”. At the same time, it was determined that social oriented NGOs have a number of competitive advantages as providers of social services - they provide low transaction costs for the recipient, an expanded range of services, a greater customer focus. The formation of a sustainable regional model of social services at this stage is associated with further diversification of the subjects of social services, expanding the product boundaries of this market, introducing innovative assistance technologies and increasing both the economic and social efficiency of social services. It seems promising to create a unified regional information system in the Yaroslavl region for providers and recipients of social services, allowing residents of the region to order social services via the Internet with the right to choose a provider and conclude contracts online through authorization on the government services portal.

Partisipasi Elekronik: Pemanfaatan Monggo Lapor dalam Aplikasi Magelang Cerdas di Kota Magelang

Concept of e-participation in smart city refers to the participation of citizens and other parties by utilizing information and communication technology (ICT). The use of ICT is carried out by the Magelang City Government with the creation of the Magelang Cerdas application. Magelang Cerdas is an android based application by developing a one stop public service portal which consists of several features, one of which is Monggo Lapor. The purpose of this research is to analyze the degree of community involvement in the City of Magelang through the use of Monggo Lapor in the Magelang Cerdas Application with the Macintosh theory (2004) which divides the degree of e-participation into three: e-enabling, e-enganging, and e-empowering and identifying factors which forms e-participation in the context of Smart City with the theory of Nam & Pardo (2011). This research use descriptive qualitative approach. Methods of data collection through interviews and documentation. The data obtained were processed by interactive analysis. The results show that the level of the degree of e-participation utilizing the Monggo Lapor Magelang Cerdas application is at the e-enganging level. E-participation of Magelang City in the context of Smart City is influenced by adequate technology, institutions that apply transparency and human capacity in terms of qualified ASN. However, human capacity in terms of community skills is considered to be lacking because the use of the Magelang Cerdas application has not been fully utilized by residents.

Foreclosures and House Prices

This paper studies the impact of foreclosures on house prices in Italy using a large dataset of online listings provided by Immobiliare.it, the most popular online portal for real estate services in Italy. We estimate that the foreclosure discount is considerable, and this would suggest a high degree of market segmentation and limited spillovers from foreclosures to the market for non-foreclosed homes. However, by exploiting the exogeneity of the market entry of foreclosures, we find that new foreclosures increase home sellers’ propensity to adjust their list price. Moreover, following the methodology in Campbell et al. (Am Econ Rev 101(5):2108–2131, 2011), we show that foreclosure listings have a significant negative impact on the prices of non-foreclosed nearby homes. Our evidence is quantitatively consistent with the recent literature on the impact of foreclosures on the US housing market.

A WebGIS-Based Platform for Sewage Treatment Facilities in Villages and Small Towns Near the Lake Dian

Lake Dian is one of “Three-river and Three-lake Project” that focus on water pollution prevention and control in China. Rural non-point source pollution is increasing year by year. In order to effectively control the amount of sewage from villages and small towns entering the lake, a full coverage of treatment facilities has been built near the Lake Dian. Among them, the facilities are scattered in the eight districts and two counties of Kunming City, Yunnan Province. It is so difficult to manage that we have to rely on WebGIS technology for management and analysis. This paper designs a visualization platform for sewage treatment facilities in villages and small towns, which is a three-tier system architecture of B/S model. The system takes the map engine of ArcGIS API for JavaScript and the component development of Vue.js as the technical core, combined with ArcGIS Online service portal and spatial database technology. It finishes function implementation such as the visualization of the treatment situation and data management. The platform can scientifically analyse the problems in the construction, management, and operation of sewage treatment facilities in villages and small towns. It improves the ability to share information, and provide decision-making support to the sewage treatment department of the Lake Dian.

Цифровое гражданство в Российской Федерации: политические риски и перспективы

ntroduction. The realities of modern society reflect the demand of science to understand, explain and stage the structural transformations of the political process of a digital nature. Civic Internet activity is acquiring non-hierarchical forms and is ahead of technological practices used by the state. Introducing themselves into the modern political process, network organizational structures allow the formation of strong horizontal ties, acting as a tool for accumulating public opinion and mobilizing intellectual resources. Methods and methodology. In this article, the features of digital citizenship are considered through the following theoretical and methodological foundations: digital citizenship in the concept of a network club; generational theory of being digital citizens; digital citizenship as a value system of user strategies; the administrative plane of obtaining the legal status of a citizen in the network. Analysis. Synergy effects from joint activities of government, business and civil society institutions in the implementation of digital citizenship are extremely important. In connection with the creation of digital citizenship infrastructure in the Russian Federation, obtaining a digital profile of a citizen is of particular importance. Particular attention is paid to the risk factors for digital citizenship. The need to develop trust bridges between government and society, where co-management contributes to the formation of a safe and comfortable environment in physical and digital spaces, is argued. Results. The authors proposed the concept of architecture for building digital citizenship, which consists of the phased implementation of digital services: 1) the introduction of platform solutions in the field of public administration: the provision of public services in digital format, the launch of the Public Services Portal of the Russian Federation; 2) an increase in the number of public services provided in the online format, the launch of the Unified Identification and Authentication System (ESIA); 3) the Russian Federations citizen’s digital profile creation, the launch of digital super services at the ESIA website, the introduction of an electronic passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. It is concluded that the digital citizenship has new end-to-end communication capabilities, coupled with the extraterritoriality of processes. It is proved that digital citizenship is a fundamental right in the digital age. Digital literacy and digital security stand out as important elements of digital citizenship.

An Exploration of the Perceived Application Preparedness of Undergraduate Students Applying for Professional School

Abstract This research study investigated the perceived application preparedness of undergraduate students preparing to apply for professional school. Perceptions of preparedness were measured before and after attending a seminar series focusing on the Centralized Application Service (CAS) portal, writing a personal statement, identifying personal strengths and weaknesses, and interview skills. Data was collected from pre-and post-surveys from undergraduate students enrolled at a small, private liberal arts university in West Tennessee. Electronic surveys were distributed to undergraduate students in a pre-health arts professional program hosted by the university before and after attending the seminar series. Data from 44 students were analyzed to determine if there was a significant impact on perceived level of preparedness before and after attending the seminar series. The data revealed that students had higher perceived application preparedness after receiving formal instruction compared to having no instruction regarding the graduate application process.

The Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility as a best-practice model for biodiversity data infrastructures

Biodiversity informatics has advanced rapidly with the maturation of major biodiversity data infrastructures (BDDIs), such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility sharing unprecedented data volumes. Nevertheless, taxonomic, temporal and spatial data coverage remains unsatisfactory. With an increasing data need, the global BDDIs require continuous inflow from local data mobilisation, and national BDDIs are being developed around the world. The global BDDIs are specialised in certain data types or data life cycle stages which, despite possible merits, renders the BDDI landscape fragmented and complex. That this often is repeated at the national level creates counterproductive redundancy, complicates user services, and frustrates funders. Here, we present the Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility (FinBIF) as a model of an all-inclusive BDDI. It integrates relevant data types and phases of the data life cycle, manages them under one IT architecture, and distributes the data through one service portal under one brand. FinBIF has experienced diverse funder engagement and rapid user uptake. Therefore, we suggest the integrated and inclusive approach be adopted in national BDDI development.

Availability and Utilization of Library Portal Services for Research in University Libraries in Nigeria

This research paper delved into the availability and utilization of library portal services for research in University libraries in Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The study was carried out in Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) and Felix Aghagbo Nwako Library, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Library (UNIZIK), Awka. A total of 70 professionals (librarians and system analysts) in these libraries supplied data for the study. Data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. These were used to answer the research questions while the null hypotheses were tested using t-test statistic at 0.05 level of significance and 68 degree of freedom. Major findings showed that portal Services available in the Library showed that the areas of availability of library portal services in Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, U.N.N. includes agriculture, health sciences, engineering, environmental sciences and information about institution, social sciences, arts and humanities, natural sciences. In Festus Aghagbo Nwako library, Awka, the areas of portal library services include career development, federal government programmes, environmental science, biological sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, engineering, and health sciences. Findings on extent of utilization of portal services available in the libraries indicated that portal services are utilized to a low extent in the university libraries. Furthermore, Librarians did not significantly differ in their opinions on the availability of library portal services and on the extent of utilization of library portal services in the libraries under study. It is therefore recommended that provisions should be made by the universities and library management to provide and update required portal services in addition to creating enabling environment for enhanced access and utilization of these services. The governments must make effort to provide funds for policy implementation, necessary technology training for librarians and users, and develop general information infrastructure.

Fraud Reporting Portal Is Easy And Useful?

The case of fraud is currently a hot topic, according to ACFE in 2018 the rate of fraud in the education sector in the Asia-Pacific region is reached five percent. There are several ways to detect fraud in order to overcome or minimize the occurrence of fraud, one of which is whistleblowing. Based on the ACFE survey in 2020, shows that currently, the form of fraud reporting media tends to be online or electronic. This research aims to explore the ease of use, usefulness, and importance of fraud reporting information systems in educational institutions using the TAM theory. This research method is descriptive qualitative. The results showed that the number of reports submitted to the fraud reporting portal was not driven by the ease and usefulness of the reporting portal service. The results of this study, apart from being able to add insight and literature, can also be used as material for consideration in making improvements related to the use of fraud reporting information systems, especially in educational institutions.

Participants\u2019 views and experiences from setting up a shared patient portal for primary and specialist health services- a qualitative study

BackgroundRecently, there has been an increasing focus among healthcare organisations on implementing patient portals. Previous studies have mainly focussed on the experiences of patient portal use. Few have investigated the processes of deciding what content and features to make available, in particular for shared portals across healthcare domains. The aim of the study was to investigate views on content and experiences from the configuration process among participants involved in setting up a shared patient portal for primary and specialist health services.MethodsA qualitative study including 15 semi-structured interviews with persons participating in patient portal configuration was conducted from October 2019 to June 2020.ResultsWhether a shared patient portal for all the health services in the region should be established was not questioned by any of the informants. It was experienced as a good thing to have numerous participants present in the discussions on configuration, but it also was said to increase the complexity of the work. The informants considered a patient portal to be of great value for patient care, among other things because it would lead to improvements in patient follow-up and increased patient empowerment. Nevertheless, some informants advocated caution as they thought the patient portal possibly could lead to an increase in healthcare providers’ workloads and to anxiety and worries, as well as to inequality in access to health care among patients. The findings were categorized into the themes ‘A tool for increased patient involvement’, ‘Which information should be available for the patient’, ‘Concerns about increased workload’, ‘Too complex to use versus not interesting enough’, ‘Involving all services’ and ‘Patient involvement’.ConclusionsEstablishing a shared patient portal for primary and specialist health services was considered unproblematic. There was, however, variation in opinions on which content and features to include. This variation was related to concerns about increasing the workload for health care providers, causing anxiety and inequality among patients, and ensuring that the solution would be interesting enough to adopt.

Online Care Expansion and Patient Access: Evidence from Talk Therapists

Using data from a search portal for mental health care services, we evaluate how an exogenous expansion in the number of online competitors in a market affects local providers of psychotherapy. We find a significant, positive effect of the supply expansion on local incumbent providers' propensity to exit from the portal but a limited effect on prices. We argue that online care expansion may reduce access for patients who prefer locally-provided care.

Exploring critical dimensions for measuring service quality in government to employee

The main objective of this article is to identify the dimensions or characteristics that a university service portal must have if it is to be considered by its employees as high quality. To achieve this objective, a qualitative study was carried out using the Delphi method and there was a subsequent quantitative study among academics from different Spanish universities. The four dimensions identified in our study confirm that e-service quality, in the Spanish university context, is a multidimensional construct. We are aware that universities have limited resources, so the managers of these service portals must pay special attention to those dimensions that are most important to users.
