With the enactment of Law No. 6 of 2014 on villages, it is desirable that in the management of the village, especially in the management of its finances, it can be done accountably and responsibly. This study aims to identify the financial management of the village along with the problems associated with the management of village finances conducted in the Village Ploso Jombang. This research uses qualitative method with case study approach, where most of the research implementation mostly use observation and interview method. The results show that in the management of village finances there are main issues that is the lack of knowledge of village head and its officials in the management of budget and village finances. This research proposes the existence of computerized system accompanied by training and guidance of village financial management from local government apparatus, so it is expected that village financial reporting can be done by fast process and with output of accountable and accountable financial statement.

The article evaluated the control of Stencil in the subprocess of Printing of the SMD line of a company located in the Industrial Pole of Manaus (PIM), to provide subsidies to develop a computerized system. With computerization, the focus of employees will be directed to the activities of production and quality of manufactured products, also, the collection of process data, done in real-time, will allow managers to better monitor and take actions in the process. To this end, a case study, bibliographic research of articles, dissertations, and theses involving the theme, and documentary research (forms, records, etc.) with the sectors involved were used. The descriptive statistics method was applied, quality tools were used, aimed at identifying and solving problems such as PDCA, Pareto, Ishikawa Diagram, flow chart, and 5W2H. A study of the activities related to the control of the Stencil was carried out, of the documentation used in the process, as well as of the factors and causes related to the effective Stencil control. Among the results, 24 causes affect the performance of the Stencil control, concluding that the main failures were human, due to the prioritization of production goals by the employees, leaving the other activities in the background, which is why the 24 guidelines proposed for the computerization of this process become relevant, some of which are: defining means to identify each Stencil using a bar code or QR code; do not allow the use of the Stencil if one of the activities unfinished in the process; stop production when an activity is not performed; digitize the documents used in this process; create an automatic notification to those responsible, when an action is necessary, etc.

This paper discusses the dynamics associated with the implementation and deployment of an information infrastructure designed to standardize work practices. The analysis is based on a case study conducted in a pharmaceutical R&D organization. The infrastructure in use, comprising a computerized system and surrounding organizational procedures, seems to support work practices not always as originally planned. The paper discusses the role played by local characteristics, contingencies, and practices in shaping a standardization protocol implemented to standardize work practices. Building on actor-network theory, the paper concludes that the standardization of work practices is the result of the dynamic interplay between technology and its users, rather than the consequence of a planned and well-defined design project.

Due to the natural limitations faced by the old system of keeping, planning and managing the distribution of electricity, a computerized system is developed for Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), on Ashamu Layout of Kosobo Area, Oyo State, Nigeria. Data was acquired using south total station (NTS) and the data was downloaded using NTS.comp and project boundary was plotted with AutoCAD civil 3D, 1m Ikonos resolution satellite imagery was downloaded and geo-referenced with Arcgis10.1. Spatial features such as roads and buildings were vectorized. Electricity distribution and management was designed and created using relational database management system (rdbms) approach. The raster image was added as layer to ArcGIS 10.1 environments for geo-referencing and vectorization. The roads, buildings, electric poles were vectorized and a south total station was used to acquire co-ordinates of the electric poles and transformers to their position on the imagery, creating spatial database for the study area. The developed system was tested by carrying out spatial analysis and spatial search using ArcGIS 10.1. The results obtained were displayed in graphics and tables. It was established from the result that Geographic Information System (GIS) has the capacity as an effective tool for management of electricity distribution system.

A computerized system has been developed for the preparation and dispatch of telegrams by the Amnesty International USA Urgent Action Network. The system includes automation of billing procedures, funds receipt management, and membership management for a 2000 volunteer database. The system currently produces and sends an average of 1000 telegrams, world-wide, each month. This paper describes the decision tasks and the tools created to aid decision-making for the Telegram Pledge Program.

This study describes the information system and transparency of a free school program that uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The techniques and procedures for data collection include interviews and direct observation. The validity of the data is done through credibility, flexibility, dependability, and commitment. Data analysis consists of testing, categorizing, tabulating, or combining based on the focus of the research. Based on data analysis, the school information system is free in MUBA Regency has used a computerized system in determining the number of recipients of funds through dapodik data, socialization through a website, and distribution of FSP funds via bank transfer. In addition, the transparency of the financial accountability of FSP funds in accordance with the technical guidelines was carried out properly, because it was supported by supervision carried out by the District Management Team, the District Inspectorate Team and Non-Governmental Organizations

The great variety of functions possible for sound in virtual environments is surveyed in relation to the traditions that primarily inform them. These traditions are examined, classifying sound into the three categories of artistic expression, information transfer, and environmental sound. The potentials of and relations between sonification, algorithmic composition, musicogenic and sonigenic displays, virtual musical instruments and virtual sound sources are examined, as well as the practical technical limitations that govern performance control of MIDI and real-time DSP sound synthesis in coordination with visual display. The importance of music-theoretic and psychological research is emphasized. The issues and developed categorizations are then applied to a case study: the examination of a specific virtual environment performance by a team of workers in Australia in which the author worked as composer/performer/ programmer.
