Investigating e-government specified a few organizational barriers to e-government implementation. This paper proposes a framework for examining how organizational barriers affect the application of e-government. Frame creation depends on three main organizational dimensions. First, the organizational main dimensions, which are related to the culture of the organization, include (control system, strategic direction, integration, and coordination). Second, the organizational main dimensions which are related to the structure of the organization include (adaptability, involvement, integration, agreement, reword, and incentive system). Third, the organizational main dimensions, which are related to Information Technology, include (information transfer, Communication, end-user focus, and employee learning). We initiate those organizational obstacles which are recognized in major electronic government literature linked to the organizational culture effectiveness and dimensions. The conclusion is that the framework is related to understand organizational barriers which prompt the implementation of electronic government. This research is limited to the framework that has been developed based on the lens of e-government literature in the application theory. It is now necessary to test this model in different contexts. This study tries to demonstrate that key that impedes the factors that are associated with the implementation and enhancement of the e-government system. There must be more attention to the progress made in e-government projects quickly and accurately. Thus, there is a strong commitment on the part of each government to implement e-government services.

Sometimes, it is impossible to conduct tests with the use of the GNSS system, or the obtained results of the measurements made differ significantly from the predicted accuracy. The most common cause of the problems (external factors, faulty results) are interference disturbances from other radio telecommunication systems. The subject of this paper is to conduct research, the essence of which is an in-depth analysis in the field of elimination of LTE interference signals of the GNSS receiver, that is based on the developed effective methods on counteracting the phenomenon of interference signals coming from this system and transmitted on the same frequency. Interference signals are signals transmitted in the GNSS operating band, and unwanted signals may cause incorrect processing of the information provided to the end-user about his position, speed, and current time. This article presents methods of identifying and detecting interference signals, with particular emphasis on methods based on spatial processing of signals transmitted by the LTE system. A comparative analysis of the methods of detecting an unwanted signal was made in terms of their effectiveness and complexity of their implementation. Moreover, the concept of a new comprehensive anti-interference solution was proposed. It includes, among others, information on the various stages of GNSS signal processing in the proposed system, in relation to the algorithms used in traditional GNSS receivers. The final part of the article presents the obtained research results and the resulting significant observations and practical conclusions.

Electronic Government (e-Government) has been implemented in Indonesia at both the central and regional levels, where Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is integrated with public services in order to increase effectiveness, efficiency, and transparency. Surakarta has succeeded in creating an application that operates online which can be used to access population administration services, namely Dukcapil application (Dukcapil dalam genggaman in Indonesian term). This application is designed to make it easier for some people of Surakarta who are still experiencing problems if they have to directly access population administration services, whether constrained in terms of time, energy, and cost. As part of population administration services and population information systems, user satisfaction is important for Dukcapil Dalam Genggaman because it is related to the quality of the services provided and the success of implementing the application. User satisfaction can be influenced by several factors. Therefore, this study will examine the factors that influence user satisfaction of Dukcapil Dalam Genggaman. These factors were adapted from a model for measuring the level of user satisfaction with information systems, namely End User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS), which measures satisfaction based on content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness. This study aims to determine the effect of these factors on user satisfaction of Dukcapil Dalam Genggaman. The questionnaire was distributed to users of Dukcapil Dalam Genggaman and successfully obtained a sample of 107 users. The data analysis used is multiple linear regression. It was found that content, accuracy, ease of use, and timeliness have a significant effect on user satisfaction of Dukcapil Dalam Genggaman. Meanwhile, the format does not have a effect on user satisfaction of Dukcapil Dalam Genggaman. Based on these findings, the Department of Population and Civil Registration of Surakarta is recommended to develop Dukcapil Dalam Genggaman by focusing on the factors that affect user satisfaction of the application.

This paper examines the extent of end-user satisfaction on the service delivery process by the Royal Malaysian Customs (RMC) as the agency moves toward implementing electronic government (e-government) initiatives. The RMC has in fact been identified as one of the prominent and technology-pioneering government agencies in the country and therefore suitable for delivering electronic public services. Data were collected in mid-2009 from two types of customers, i.e., internal (Customs officers) and external (forwarding agents, importers, and bonded warehouse licensees) who use the Customs Information Systems (CIS) C8 form for transshipment of goods. Overall, the findings suggest that both types of customers are either indecisive and/or doubtful with the performance of the CIS. These findings are then extended to the broader context of information technology. It is of paramount importance that the RMC takes appropriate measures to satisfy both its internal and external customers by provision of improving its service delivery process through its CIS to produce desirable results.


Network Security is an important aspectin communication-related activities. In recent times, the advent of more sophisticated technologies changed the way the information is being sharedwith everyone in any part of the world.Concurrently, these advancements are mishandled to compromise the end-user devices intentionally to steal their personal information. The number of attacks made on targeted devices is increasing over time. Even though the security mechanisms used to defend the network is enhanced and kept updated periodically, new advanced methods are developed by the intruders to penetrate the system. In order to avoid these discrepancies, effective strategies must be applied to enhance the security measures in the network. In this paper, a machine learning-based approach is proposed to identify the pattern of different categories of attacks made in the past. KDD cup 1999 dataset is accessed to develop this predictive model. Bat optimization algorithm identifies the optimal parameter subset. Supervised machine learning algorithms were employed to train the model from the data to make predictions. The performance of the system is evaluated through evaluation metrics like accuracy, precision and so on. Four classification algorithms were used out of which, gradient boosting model outperformed the benchmarked algorithms and proved its importance on data classification based on the accuracy obtained from this model.

Cases of a direct strategic direction–performance link may be found in numerous accounts of improvements of organizational performance attributed to changes in leadership. The same case applies to structural adaptations, human resource management, and technology. However, empirical studies into the links between these elements and performance have been lacking. However, Kenya wildlife services have experienced a lot of challenges in achieving its desired objectives more so local customer satisfaction. This study has investigated the effect of strategy implementation on organizational performance in the Kenya Wildlife Service. Four specific objectives guided the researcher and they included to establish the influence of strategic direction on performance; to assess how structural adaptations affect performance; to determine the influence of human resource management on performance; and to find out how technological requirements influence performance in the Kenya Wildlife Service. Theories that were reviewed included organizations theory, dynamic capabilities view, Okumu’s strategy implementation framework, and Higgins’ 8-S strategy implementation framework. The researcher employed a descriptive case study research design with a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods. The population of interest in this study included all the management staff involved in formulation and implementation of strategy at the Kenya Wildlife Service. The Kenya Wildlife Service has seven deputy directors with 43 management staff under them. This study targeted all of them which translated into a population of 50 respondents in the organization. This study used a census technique which is a procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population as a whole. A total of 50 members of management staff therefore took part in this study. A questionnire was used to collect data through drop-and-pick later method. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics and the results presented in tables and charts. The regression analysis results show that strategic direction, structural adaptations, technology requirements and human resource explains 96.3% of change in performance. Strategic direction has a positive relationship with performance and contributes by a factor of 0.343 to the change in the dependent variable. Structural adaptations also have a positive relationship with performance and contributed to the change in the dependent variable. Human resource management was found to have a negative relationship with performance and contributed to change in the dependent variable. This relationship was however not statistically significant.Technology requirements have a positive relationship with performance and it contributed to the change in the dependent variable. Performance of an organization largely depends on its external and internal customers. KWS seems to have concentrated more on the external customer forgetting its internal customers; the employees. Employee satisfaction is critical for KWS performance and therefore the need to focus on employees’ needs as the organization seeks to satisfy its customers. Motivated employees will have better individual productivity and this will yield improved overall oragizational performance. KWS should review its human resource policy and practices. Its new policy should take good care of employees; motivate them through rewards and incentives. KWS should adopt current technology for better operational performance. It should also be in a position to respond to frequent technological changes in its field.

In our paper, we present the results of the second phase of a study conducted in collaboration between two higher education institutions in Hungary with different types of translator training: a postgraduate (MA) course at the University of Szeged (SZTE), Faculty of Arts, and a postgraduate specialist training course at Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Budapest (PPKE JÁK), Faculty of Law and Political Sciences. At SZTE, students do not have any legal qualifications, while at PPKE JÁK, students are all qualified legal professionals. Our main research question was whether there are significant differences in the quality of legal translations carried out by students with and without legal qualifications. We analyzed and evaluated the global (holistic) quality of the translations using a five-point scale as suggested by Kiraly (1995: 83), and compared types of errors made by the two groups of students with the help of a special error typology. Our results show that students with legal qualifications perform better in terms of both global and analytic indicators, with significantly less errors made in information transfer and in legal register.

This chapter explores three broad principles of user-centered design methodologies, including participatory design, iteration, and usability considerations. We discuss characteristics of teachers as an important type of ITS end user, including barriers teachers face as users and their role in educational technology design. To exemplify key points, we draw upon our own experiences in developing an ITS for writing strategies (i.e., the Writing Pal). We conclude by offering a tentative design approach—the Design Implementation Framework (DIF)—that builds upon existing cyclical design methods but with some tailoring to ITS and educational technology contexts.

Nowadays, initiatives are taken and investments are made in supporting e-government across the world. These initiatives should achieve success to fulfill the outcomes that are desired. Efforts are made in capitalizing the technologies that will help the government to provide services to their citizens. The main objective of the paper is to explore the readiness of federal authority employees and their current skills, adoption, and knowledge about e-government. It is also investigates the new technologies and e-technologies in GCC and UAE. Therefore, it discusses and highlights this objective of using e-government by employees under several headings which include the growth of e-government in UAE and advantages of e-government in the society. This paper will also outline the need of e-government by the employees and citizens and how to make them better trust e-government. The researcher distributed 500 surveys and received 407 from most of the federal authorities in the UAE. The research concluded that the employees agree with benefits of e-government, do care about customers, and, together with high cooperation from the private sector, are prepared for adopting e-government. It was also found that the more challenging the e-government's cost and IT skill, the higher the challenges the organization will face in adopting e-government. At the present, one of the biggest challenges is designing solutions for e-government and evaluating initiatives conducted by the government.
