User Centered

In organizations, researchers as well as professionals have generally observed insufficient use of computer technologies when compared to their expected outcomes before their implementation (Bowers, 1995). Reiterating in detail Orlikowski’s theoretical propositions, the authors try to impart a clear theoretical status and to identify how transformation of the « artifact » can eventually transform uses. Using a longitudinal case study describing uses of a HR Intranet in an aeronautical firm, the authors want to show that: computer technology conception integrating user’s needs, which scientific literature usually calls « user centered » conception, allows use development. However, data gathered in the interviews allows stating that this kind of conception achieved to develop uses only because it was in a strong interaction with corporate policy.

Over Time

India's experience with the international computer industry serves as a key test of the “bargaining school” and the “Marxist-dependencia school” on relations between developing countries and multinational enterprises. India changed (and improved) its performance over time in reformulating its ties with the international computer industry. How did changes in international computer technology and industrial structure combine with Indian domestic institutional and political developments to yield an improved position for India in international computing? The case study illustrates the overall analytical superiority of the bargaining school over the Marxist-dependencia school. It also suggests a modest revision of the bargaining school's understanding of the speed at which certain developing countries are attaining the capability to negotiate successfully with multinationals in high-technology industries.

Maximum Exposure

undergraduate university curriculums in computer technology are structured to provide students with a maximum exposure to programming languages, data structures, and elements of system design. Current textbooks fail to provide adequate discussions and examples of programs which demonstrate good human factors. The purpose of this study was to determine if concepts and techniques for designing human computer interfaces can be integrated within the existing courses in the undergraduate curriculum in computer technology. A class in applications programming using Pascal was given a long-term assignment to design an interactive program for an untrained user. This assignment was then repeated following exposure to human factors guidelines. The class showed significant improvements in the design of the user interface.

AbstractThe use of matrix algebra has expanded considerably in the last 25-30 years, in parallel with computer technology evolution. Introducing of matrix notation leads to simple and concise formulation of highly complex applications. In the first instance, a linear model can be developed or if the model is nonlinear, it can be linearized in first approximation, once or every step of a solving iterative process. In this paper, the authors will present two methods used to solve linear equations systems. First methods will be solved by manual calculation and the second method will be solved using a computer program, SISLIN, developed in Power Systems Department of the Politehnica University Timisoara. Methods are presented to students who are asked to apply the methods for case studies. Volume calculation is large, for which the authors analyze student’s concentration and attention degree.

Learning English

This study aimed at exploring the use of computer technology and smartphone applications in the learning of English. A case study design using questionnaires and interview data was expected to reveal lecturers and students' perceptions comprehensively. The data obtained were analyzed with quantitative and qualitative data analysis in descriptive statistics and coding. This study indicated that computer technology and smartphone applications in learning English could smoothly run if the internet network was stable and there was a sufficient data quota. In its use, both lecturers and students needed to coordinate well regarding the English learning platform used. Both lecturers and students needed to prepare, implement structured learning, and pay attention to learning evaluation.

The field of medicine is difficult to compare between different countries, as the development and their focus are individual and faces unique problems. Possible solutions provided by the western world usually require higher financial expenses and intensive training of workers involved in the medical field. Experience gathered in Mongolia lead to the suggestion that the involvement of computer technology can create benefits for the healthcare sector without extensive costs and intensive training. The missing experience of medical workers can be covered with computed technology that is designed to support them in making correct decisions. At the same time these technologies will never be able to fully replace workers and therefore should not lead to dismissal in the healthcare sector.
