BACKGROUND Healthcare has increased its use of information technology over the last few years. A trend followed higher usage of Electronic Health Record in low-and-middle-income countries where doctors use non-medical applications and websites for healthcare-related tasks. Information security awareness and practices are essential to reduce the risk of breaches. OBJECTIVE To assess the internal reliability of the Spanish translation of three areas of the Human Aspects of Information Security Questionnaire (HAIS-Q), and to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of medical doctors around information security. METHODS This is a cross-sectional descriptive study designed as a questionnaire-based. We used focus areas (Password management, social media use, and mobile devices use) from the Human Aspects of Information Security Questionnaire (HAIS-Q). Medical doctors in Ecuador answered an online survey between December 2017 and January 2018. RESULTS A total of 434 health professionals (response rate: 0.65) completed all the questions in our study. Scores were 37.4 (SD 5.9) for Password Management, 35.4 (SD 5.0) for Social Media Use and 35.9 (SD 5.7) for Mobile Devices. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α) was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.75, 0.81) for password management, 0.73 (95%CI: 0.69, 0.77) for mobile devices and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.73, 0.78) for Social Media Use. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that three components of the Spanish translation of the HAIS-Q questionnaire were internally reliable when applied in medical doctors. Medical doctors with eagerness to receive infosec training scored higher in social media use and mobile device use categories.

Abstract The study sought to assess user expectations and acceptance of library services at the African Union Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights. The study, which targeted 94 library users, employed LibQUAL and SERVQUAL protocols to collect data, which were subsequently analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that users have the lowest expectations of the physical aspects of the library, namely the library as a place and of its tangibles. By contrast, users had the highest expectations in aspects associated with people and of the library collection, namely the effect of service, information control, responsiveness and reliability. The study recommends the allocation of resources in a way that ensures that the human aspects of the library remain at high levels of service quality, while shortcomings related to information control, library space and equipment should be addressed. Further, the library should invest in electronic content that users can access remotely. The findings have implications for information practice, in that studying user expectations enables libraries to understand individual and group expectations. These, in turn, will inform decision-making processes in respect of service provision, and provide justification and accountability for the resources used during such service provision.

Specialized Subject

In this paper the problems of introducing the teaching of a specialized subject into undergraduate courses are discussed with particular reference to the specific features of machine-tool technology. These cover the facts that the machine must be considered as part of an overall manufacturing system, so that the concept of performance differs from that encountered in other types of machinery such as internal-combustion engines, and that technological, economic, and human aspects must also be considered. Comparisons are made between Continental, particularly German, practice and present practice in some British universities. Some typical approaches to the organization of postgraduate full-time courses and short-term specialized courses are given. Finally, a comparison is made between the employment of university trained engineers in the machine-tool manufacturing and using industries in Great Britain and in Germany.
