Emergent Coordination

Coordinating the response of multiple public agencies to a large-scale crisis is a challenge that has been studied predominantly according to the information-processing view. In this paper, the authors extend this view with the notion of emergence giving special attention to information and communication technology (ICT). The extended framework is applied in a case study of crisis response exercises in the public sector. The findings suggest that current practices concentrate on standards and hierarchy, but mutual adjustment and emergent coordination also occur and are susceptible to analysis and equally relevant to understand coordination practices. In addition, ICT can provide information processing capabilities needed for coordination but may also create information processing needs by increasing the volume of data and the interconnectedness of responders. Applying the extended framework improves the understanding of coordination and forms the basis for its future use in designing ICT to support coordination in crisis response and e-government.

This paper presents an analysis about the number of incoming and graduate students,considering women and men, at the Department of Informatics (DIN) at State Universityof Maringá (UEM), in Brazil. The data were collected considering three graduate courses,Data Processing Technology (extinct in 1997), Computer Science and Informatics. Theresults show that the number of women is dropping drastically from the late 1990s. InComputer Science, from 1994 to 2016, of the 622 graduate students, 127 were women.In Informatics, from 2000 to 2016, only 38 women had graduated, of the 275 students.In 2017, there were 211 students enrolled in Computer Science, and 208 in Informatics.On average, 8.11% were women (34), being 8.65% in Informatics (18), and 7.58% inComputer Science (16). These percentages are lower than the national one in Brazil,which is 14.19%.

Quality Production

In recent years, the declining and aging population of farmers has become a serious problem. Smart agriculture has been promoted to solve these problems. It is a type of agriculture that utilizes robotics, and information and communication technology to promote labor saving, precision, and realization of high-quality production. In this research, we focused on robots that can harvest tomatoes. Tomatoes are delicate vegetables with a thin skin and a relatively large yield. During automatic harvesting of tomatoes, to ensure the operation of the harvesting arm, an input by image processing is crucial to determine the color of the tomatoes at the time of harvesting. Research on robot image processing technology is indispensable for accurate operation of the arm. In an environment where tomatoes are harvested, obstacles such as leaves, stems, and unripe tomatoes should be taken into consideration. Therefore, in this research, we propose a method of image processing to provide an appropriate route for the arm to ensure easy harvesting, considering the surrounding obstacles.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

School Learning

So far, in implementing school strategies, they tend not to utilize Information and Communication Technology (ICT), despite the availability of ICT resources available. Stages of strategic management are needed to generate the vision, mission, objectives, policy, program, budget, and procedures as well as control and evaluation process as an effort to utilize ICT to improve school quality. Based on the interpretation and the results of the study, it is concluded that schools have organized stages in strategic management that enable schools to have a quality profile. The impact of effective utilization of ICTs for schools is the achievement of effective school management, as per the National Education Standards, which is characterized by effective planning, implementation, control, and evaluation of school ICTs.The purpose of this study is to get a general description, describe, and reveal the Strategic Management of Information and Communication Technology Utilization to Improve the Quality of School Learning in Ciledug Al Musaddadiyah Vocational High School and Garut 1 Vocational High School, both on environmental analysis, strategic formulation, implementation and strategic evaluation. The research method used in this research is the case study method, because the problems studied occur in the place and situation of Ciledug Al Musaddadiyah Vocational School and Vocational High School 1 Garut. The use of case study models in this study is based on the consideration that to provide an overview of the strategic management activities of the use of ICTs carried out at vocational high schools with the ultimate goal of being able to improve the quality of school learning. Based on observations in the field of SMK 1 Garut and SMK Al Musaddadiyah Ciledug Garut is one of the public schools and private schools that have these advantages.

Role Of Information

If we want to convert our rural population into knowledge driven, progressive, self sufficient, self reliant, sustainable society, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) cannot be ignored. Timely availability information is considered as most important factor in Indian agriculture. At present ICT is the technology of this millennium. Transferring the developed technology to all end users is time-consuming and tiresome task and is often not completed due to paucity of resources and lack of manpower. In India, agriculture and rural development has gained significantly from ICT due to its widespread extension and adoption. In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.
