An Integrated Success Model for an Electronic Health Record: A Case Study of Hakeem Jordan
No full textAbstractElectronic Health Record (EHR) has been adopted in many countries due to its ability to enhance and raise the healthcare quality. In Jordan, an EHR called Hakeem was launched by His Majesty King Abdullah Bin Al-Hussien to improve the health care and quality of the country's medical sector. This research aims to build a model which assess the EHR in general and Hakeem in particular. In the assessment, the research has undertaken the task of integrating two models namely: the Delone and Mclean's information system success model, and the Balanced Scorecard. The models contributed to perspectives which assess the success of Hakeem. Triangulation methods using qualitative and quantitative methods were adopted. This involves an interview, and questionnaire which results were used to build a case study. Prince Hamzah Hospital which implements Hakeem is central to the study. The results showed all Internal perspectives proposed by the two integrated models have strongly influenced the success of Hakeem. Another obvious result is in the relation between the perspectives which affect each other and reflected on the EHR success. This research has proposed an integrated EHR model that could be used in assessing the success of any EHR implementation. For future research undertaking, it is recommended that external success factors such as political, economic, social and technological are studies
Calling the judiciary to account for the past : transitional justice and judicial accountability in Nigeria
No full textInstitutional and individual accountability is an important feature of societies in transition from conflict or authoritarian rule. The imperative of accountability has both normative and transformational underpinnings in the context of restoration of the rule of law and democracy. This article argues a case for extending the purview of truth-telling processes to the judiciary in postauthoritarian contexts. The driving force behind the inquiry is the proposition that the judiciary as the third arm of government at all times participates in governance. To contextualize the argument, I focus on judicial governance and accountability within the paradigm of Nigeria’s transition to democracy after decades of authoritarian military rule
Replication Data for: Seeing Blue in Black and White: Race and Perceptions of Officer-Involved Shootings
No full textFollowing racially charged events, individuals often diverge in perceptions of what happened and how justice should be served. Examining data gathered shortly after the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri alongside reactions to a novel officer-involved shooting, we unpack the processes by which racial divisions emerge. Even in a controlled information environment, White Americans preferred information that supported claims of a justified shooting. Conversely, Black Americans preferred information that implied the officer behaved inappropriately. These differences stemmed from two distinct processes: we find some evidence for a form of race-based motivated reasoning and strong evidence for belief updating based on racially distinct priors. Differences in summary judgments were larger when individuals identified strongly with their racial group or when expectations about the typical behaviors of Black Americans and police diverged. The findings elucidate processes whereby individuals in different social groups come to accept differing narratives about contentious events
Transitional Justice: Theories, Mechanisms and Debates
No full textTransitional justice is the way societies that have experienced civil conflict or authoritarian rule and widespread violations of human rights deal with the experience. With its roots in law, transitional justice as an area of study crosses various fields in the social sciences. This book is written with this multi- and inter-disciplinary dynamic of the field in mind.
The book presents the broad scope of transitional justice studies through a focus on the theory, mechanisms and debates in the area, covering such topics as:
The origin, context and development of transitional justice
Victims, victimology and transitional justice
Prosecutions for abuses and gross violations of human rights
Truth commissions
Transitional justice and local justice
Gender, political economy and transitional justice
Apology, reconciliation and the politics of memory
Offering a discussion of the impact and outcomes of transitional justice, this approach provides valuable insight for those who seek both an introduction alongside relatively advanced engagement with the subject.
Transitional Justice: Theories, Mechanisms and Debates is an important text for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students who take courses in transitional justice, human rights and criminal law, as well as a systematic reference text for researchers
Estimating Geospatial Trajectory of a Moving Camera
No full textThis paper proposes a novel method for estimating thegeospatial trajectory of a moving camera. The proposedmethod uses a set of reference images with known GPS(global positioning system) locations to recover the trajectoryof a moving camera using geometric constraints. Theproposed method has three main steps. First, scale invariantfeatures transform (SIFT) are detected and matched betweenthe reference images and the video frames to calculatea weighted adjacency matrix (WAM) based on the numberof SIFT matches. Second, using the estimated WAM, themaximum matching reference image is selected for the currentvideo frame, which is then used to estimate the relativeposition (rotation and translation) of the video frame usingthe fundamental matrix constraint. The relative position isrecovered upto a scale factor and a triangulation amongthe video frame and two reference images is performed toresolve the scale ambiguity. Third, an outlier rejection andtrajectory smoothing (using b-spline) post processing stepis employed. This is because the estimated camera locationsmay be noisy due to bad point correspondence or degenerateestimates of fundamental matrices. Results of recoveringcamera trajectory are reported for real sequences
SIKAP AUSTRALIA SEBAGAI NEGARA PENERIMA PENGUNGSI DALAM MENINDAKLANJUTI PENGUNGSI YANG DITERBITKAN RED NOTICE INTERPOL DI NEGARANYA (Studi Kasus : Hakeem al-Araibi)
No full textHakeem al-Arabi is a Bahraini football player who became a refugee in
Australia in 2017. Hakeem is a victim of persecution by his own country for
action he did not commit. He was tried in absentia for 10 years in prison for the
alleged attack on a police station in the Bahraini capital in 2012, during the
investigation period he admitted to being tortured by the Bahrain Security Forces
who arrested him. Hakeem fled to australia and became a refugee there in 2017.
The persecution is politically motivated to discriminate and punish prodemocracy
Shia
athletes
who protested against the government during the 2011
Bahrain Uprising (Hakeem is a Shia while the Bahraini Royal family is Sunni). In
2018 Bahrain submitted an application to INTERPOL to issue a red notice
against Hakeem. The publication is contrary to the INTERPOL Constitution and
Resolution No. 9 about INTERPOL Policy on Refugee because the red notice was
issued to a refugee. Australia as a country that protects Hakeem made several
mistakes in carrying out its responsibilities and resulted in the arrest of Hakeem
in Thailand. Hakeem and his wive went to Thailand for their honeymoon. Hakeem
arrest is based on the red notice submitted by Bharain and issued by INTERPOL.
This study will use normative research methods to find the gap between
Australia's obligations as a member state of INTERPOL and Australia's attitude
towards the protection of Hakeem.a Australian Government does not yet have a
clear national procedure for dealing with refugees that have been issued a red
notice. This results in the slow process of confirming the status of the red notice
subject who is a refugee, which will endanger the rights and safety of Hakeem
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Corporations, human rights and corporate social responsibility in Africa:between neglect and inadequate policy direction
No full textThe roles of corporations, generally and multinational ones particularly, in our individual and collective lives are sometimes veiled but salient, and with far reaching implications. The development and spread of the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) around the core question of how business should interface with society has occurred virtually simultaneously with the contemporary focus on human rights. On its own terms too, CSR discourse in the academic and professional spheres appear to have reached tipping points but concerns about the role of corporations in many countries have grown in nearly geometric proportions. CSR and human rights, interestingly, engage at their core, a concern for society; either at the level of the individual, groups, communities or the state. They also share, even if only to varying extents, a normative interest in some form of accountability for power as a mechanism for promoting social well-being. Yet, notwithstanding fairly strong normative basis for expecting corporations to buy-in to human rights, corporations and human rights have found it difficult to mix. The flagrant violations of human rights across the globe have occurred (and continue) with complicity of powerful (typically but not only) multinational corporations (MNCs)
