Computer-based information and communication technologies continue to transform the delivery of health care and the conception and scientific understanding of the human body and the diseases that afflict it. While information technology has the potential to improve the quality and efficiency of patient care, it also raises important ethical and social issues. This IRIE theme issue seeks to provide a forum to identify, analyse and discuss the ethical and social issues raised by various applications of information and communication technology in medicine and health care. The contributions give a flavour of the extraordinarily broad landscape shaped by the intersection of medicine, computing and ethics. In fact, their diversity suggests that much more work is needed to clarify issues and approaches, and to provide practical tools for clinicians.

The use of information and communication technologies continue to grow each year. This is in line with the increasing demands for the distribution of information quickly and accurately. To keep the system of information and communication technologies into one quality enhancer in a College, then required the existence of a system of governance audit of information technology communications so that all factors are interconnected with the use of information technology can run as expected and all service information and communication technology can continue to be improved by the application of information technology is right on target. The existence of a good system of governance is the answer for the use of information and communication technology systems that are reliable. The role of the audit of the governance system of information and communication technologies as a means of decision makers is needed by a college to ensure that the application of information technology is in compliance with the planning. The COBIT frameworks has a coverage of control purposes which consists of 4 domains (ITGI, 2007), that is Planning and Organization (PO), Acquisition and Implementation (AI), Delivery and Support (DS), and Monitor and Evaluate (ME). In addition to this COBIT framework also has a Maturity Model that is used to find out the position of the maturity of the current governance and continuously strive to improve the level up to the highest level in order for all aspects of the management towards information technology can be done more effectively. Then the results of this research is the description of the analysis of the level of maturity of the implementation of the corporate governance of information and communication technology systems using COBIT framework 4.1 on Library STMIK Palangkaraya.

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.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) hold great potential for promoting socioeconomic development in many developing countries. ICT has not significantly percolated down the economic value chain in these countries for various reasons. The example of Singapore is used to show how governments can make a difference in entrenching a vibrant ICT sector through appropriate policies, programs, and other intervention instruments. It is suggested that aspects of the Singapore experience would be useful for other developing countries.

Phubbing could be defined as a new form of addiction; however, checking the phone and ignoring the speaker could also be linked to the increased availability of virtual social environments. We developed a multidimensional model for phubbing considering psychological dimensions and information and communication technology related habits. We collected data through online questionnaires and surveys. The best model obtained from our data was constituted by Information and Communication Technologies’ (ICTs) usage behaviours, Trait Anxiety, Virtual Sense of Community and Neuroticism. Finally, our study confirmed a strong connection between phubbing and online addiction behaviours.
