System for Electronic Archiving of Document in Republic of Kosovo: An Evaluation of Success Factors- Design-Reality Gap Analysis
No full textAbstract
Use of Innovation of ICT in activities of the public sector, referred to as e-Government, has helped governments to improve their services to citizens, to businesses and to government units by making them more qualitative and easily accessible. The initiative of e-Government in Kosovo was identified as a priority of the government in 2008 and since then a number of projects have been implemented, amongst them the System for Electronic Archiving of Document (SEAD). Since the partial or full failure of implementation of e-government projects is very frequent phenomenon in developing countries, the identification of success and failure factors of projects is necessary in order to address them on time. In this study are assessed the level of success of implementation of SEAD and are identified the critical success and failure factors of this system through seven dimensions ITPOSMO by using the Design Reality Gap Analysis. By measuring the design-reality gap across seven dimensions, we have assessed the success of the implementation of SEAD, which scored 18.05. Results from this study indicate that if no action is taken to reduce the size of gaps, particularly the gap in dimensions “Processes” and “Staffing and Skills”, project risks falling in the category “Partial Failure”. Findings from this research will serve to reduce the risks that may affect the successful implementation of e-governance in Republic of Kosovo, and also will serve other researchers in identifying the failure and success factors of e-Government in developing countries.</jats:p
OVERVIEW OF RESEARCHES ON THE INFLUENTIAL FACTORS OF M-GOVERNMENT'S ADOPTION
No full textWillingness of targeted users to adopt government mobile services is a determinant for the success of m-government, and as such, requires the interest of researchers who are focused on m-government research. Understanding the factors influencing the end-users to adopt government mobile services is very important for the government to find ways to encourage the use of these services by targeted users, so that investment in adopting mobile technologies for government services can be profitable and safe. Although, some researches to measure citizens' perceptions of m-government have been conducted recently, the anticipation and explanation of m-government use to provide full understanding of the adoption of m-Government requires further investigation. For all those who would like to study the factors influencing the adoption of m-Government, it is essential to know about the work done so far by researchers and scholars of this field and to learn the theoretical and methodological approaches used in relevant researches. In attempt to provide such an overview, many research studies in the field of User Acceptance and adoption of m-Government services have been analysed in this research. A summary table reflects the studies conducted by 19 different authors in identifying factors that may influence the adoption of m-Government, by summarizing them from a selective list of articles published between the years 2011-2017.

A tunable swing-reduced driver in 0.13-mu m MTCMOS technology
No full textMyderrizi, Indrit (Dogus Author)With the increase in demand for high-speed and low-power integrated circuits as technology scales down, low-swing signaling circuit techniques are critical for providing high-speed low-power communications. However, existing low-swing circuits comprise complex designs, power issues (static and dynamic), output voltage swing restrictions or nonadjustable voltage swing levels, leading to lower operation speeds and even larger area footprints. In this paper, a tunable swing-reduced driver (SRD) circuit featuring the mentioned design challenges is presented. The SRD enables low-swing signals with fully controllable output voltage swing that is useful to reduce the power dissipation and delay in the signaling paths. Implemented in UMC 0.13- mu m multi-threshold CMOS process, the SRD achieves 26 ps propagation delay at 200mV output swing for a pulse signal input at 1 GHz. Post-layout simulations of the proposed SRD and a DAC application circuit, incorporating the SRD, operating at 1 GHz, validate the design
Utilization and expenditure of anti-cancer medicines in Kosovo : findings and implications
No full textIntroduction: The Ministry of Health (MoH) leads and organizes health policy in Kosovo, which includes procurement and provision of medicines. Cancer medicines are part of this. There are concerns with their affordability in view of growing costs and high profile. This is similar in Kosovo where anti-cancer medicines compose a special group of medicines, with most available medicines part of the Ministry of Health’s Essential List of Medicines. National drug utilization is available to guide future activities. However, there has been limited analysis of anti-cancer medicines to date. Such analyses are important to guide future care within limited resources. Consequently, the objective of this study is to undertake such research in Kosovo to provide future guidance. Method: Document utilisation and expenditure on anti-cancer medicines (ATC L) initially from 2011 to 2013, especially for anti-cancer medicines on the essential medicines list. In addition, document current systems for procuring and managing anti-cancer medicines in Kosovo. Results: There was appreciable variability in the utilization of anti-cancer medicines over the years, with low or limited use of some anti-cancer medicines on the essential medicine list. This is a concern in view of their documented effectiveness. From 2011 to 2013, € 16.49 million, or 13.5% of total expenditure, was spent on anti-cancer medicines (ATC L). The process of selection of new medicines begins with suggestions from doctors at the University Clinical Centre in Kosovo. Conclusion: The analysis has shown concerns with current utilization patterns for anti-cancer medicines in Kosovo. This needs to be addressed as part of improving the drug management process to optimize patient care within available resources. Future years and reforms will be assessed to improve current utilization and expenditure patterns
Tracking Topic Drift in AI and Workforce Narratives on Reddit: A Longitudinal Visualization from 2010–2024
No full textThis article extends previous research on Reddit-based discourse of artificial intelligence (AI) and workforce automation by adding a longitudinal analysis of thematic evolution. With a sample of 4,243 Reddit posts between 2010 and 2024, we examine how attention has evolved over time between top AI-related topics of work, reskilling, regulation, and use cases such as ChatGPT. We apply Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modelling for the research and use advanced visualization tools like word clouds, heatmaps, and time-series plots to estimate topic drift. Our findings indicate that while worries over job loss and ethical governance persist, discussions over certifications and upskilling have augmented steadily. Above all, interest in generative AI started to rise steeply after 2022, indicating a remarkable change in people\u27s opinions. These results represent the development of societal problems and technological awareness over time. This research proved helpful by using the prevalence of topics for policymakers, educators, and industry players who need to understand the changed public dis-course in the role of AI within the labour market. In this respect, it points out the increasing necessity for adaptive skills strategies and evidence-based communication
Digital transformation of business-to-government reporting: an institutional work perspective
No full textTraditional business-to-government reporting is a core remit of the accounting function but is associated with a significant administrative burden on business. This burden is a major obstacle hindering business efforts to achieve core efficiency and innovation objectives. We use the conceptual lens of institutional work to examine how traditional business-to-government reporting is abolished and how digital reporting is established to replace it in attempts to reduce administrative burden but without compromising regulation effectiveness. We adopt a comparative approach to analyse qualitative evidence from three jurisdictions, namely, Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Australia. Regulators across these jurisdictions have been both pioneers and leaders internationally to transform business-to-government reporting in multi-agency settings. Our analyses illustrate how institutional work to develop digital business-to-government reporting across the jurisdictions was shaped by international influences and local factors. We also illuminate how actor engagement issues and the intertwined and mutually reinforcing nature of a mosaic of forms of institutional work shaped the path of these transformations. The study contributes to existing research by explaining how supportive conditions and structures are brought about and made to coalesce in the regulatory business reporting space for digital reporting to become established and widely adopted by business
