The problem of low adherence in outpatient conditions on one side and the ubiquity of mobile communications and data services on the other side suggests an innovative idea: improve some forms of outpatient adherence through the use of mobile information technology (IT). This idea springs from the general approaches recommended for improving adherence in relevant medical literature (Haynes, Yao, Degani, Kripalani, Garg, & McDonald, 2005; McDonald, Garg, & Haynes, 2002). Although the philosophy of using the newest technology for promoting wellbeing may seem attractive, various human, technological, and financial issues must be considered first (Cocosila & Archer, 2005b). On the adoption of mobile technology, an important aspect that has not been addressed adequately in the literature is the business perspective. The objective of this study is to introduce a framework for determining the business case for mobile information technology (IT) solutions that will help to increase outpatient adherence.

This study explores users’ experiences during an organizational implementation. The implementation of a new mobile information technology took place in public home care environment. The home care case illustrates differences between implementation project goals and expectations, and on the other hand, the daily organizing and carrying out care work, where previously, no information technology was utilized. While implementing mobile technology was expected to enhance the efficiency of care working, the project outcomes include resistance due to surveillance aspect of the new technology as well as technological problems during the implementation. Successful outcomes of the implementation include better planning of working hours and more even distribution of work resources.

And Performance

Generalized Audit Software (GAS) is often used in the current business environment. Despite the advent of mature mobile technology, designs for effective mobile information technology to support auditing tasks have not been developed. The purpose of this study is to develop a mobile auditing assistance system to support auditing tasks in an organization. A mobile auditing assistance system is implemented with five functions: auditing tasks, optimal path planning, searching assets location, scanning assets, and returning auditing tasks. Based on a cost and benefits analysis, a mobile auditing assistance system can reduce costs, increase benefits, and improve firm productivity and performance. Firms can use this approach to design their own mobile auditing assistance system. This allows auditors to perform auditing tasks independently on a real time basis and achieve the objectives of a mobile auditing assistance system.

Characteristics of the industrial revolution 4.0 is the wide application of high-tech achievements, especially information technology, digitalization, artificial intelligence, network connections for management to create sudden changes in socio-economic development of many countries. Therefore, to reach the high-tech time, many magazines in Vietnam have changed dramatically, striving to reach the international scientific journal system of ISI, Scopus. The publication of international standard scientific journal will meet the demand of publishing research results of local scientists, on the other hand contribute to strengthening exchange, cooperation, international integration in science and technology.

The Relationship

The interiority of buildings in tropical countries requires specific characteristics unlike those in countries with four distinct seasons. Buildings in non-tropical climates must protect their inhabitants from extreme weather, meaning that the architecture’s connection with nature is necessarily limited by a boundary which can withstand extreme climatic differences. In tropical countries, on the other hand, the temperature does not fluctuate much throughout the year, so the temperature difference between seasons is not extreme. This characteristic is reflected in traditional Nusantara architecture, which incorporates a breathable wall so that free winds come in, reducing heat. The roof is tilted or saddled-shaped to keep rain water away from the building. The architecture uses organic materials and includes terraces for dialogue with nature. Modern Indonesian architecture, however, particularly in large cities, is mostly closed off, severely limiting the interaction with nature. Since the advent of air conditioning (AC) technology during the 1980’s, architecture has changed to seal the boundaries of the building. Advances in information technology such as Internet and smartphones have made for further changes to architecture in the area; some functional spaces are being discarded, while others are expanded. The relationship between architecture and nature is now constrained by impenetrable materials such as brick, concrete and glass, as opposed to the more traditional, permeable boundary. In contrast to this trend, modern Indonesian society is tempted to form a closer relationship with nature. This paper examines how a relationship between nature and the interior of buildings may be accommodated again, presenting some existing projects by several architects from Europe and Asian countries—including the authors’ own work—as case studies.

Since 2012 nursing specialty certificate in Nursing Informatics (NI) have been available for members of the Finnish Nurses Association (FNA). The applicant must be a RN and a member of FNA. The evaluation is based on a portfolio which the applicant must draw up as a proof of the accomplishments in her/his post-degree career in three categories: work experience, formal education and cooperation and developmental activities relating nursing informatics specialty.  Awarding criteria will be updated in the spring 2017 to meet the other criteria of professional cooperative organizations, as well as nursing informatics and information technology in today's nursing content. Nursing informatics specialty certificate have been awarded to five nurse. This article aims to introduce the certification system as well as to tell experiences of nurses with the NI specialty certificate, their experiences of the application process, effects on duties and ideas for further development of the certificate system.

This paper proposes a model for optimizing the ferry traffic and the traffic demand at the macroscopic level by using information technology (IT) and the existing tourist amenities as a key element for achieving harmonization of supply and demand, i.e. optimization of the assessed system. Proposed approach differs from the other/present models because it includes the application of the macroscopic, instead of the microscopic (local) approach, i.e. harmonization of the ferry infrastructure demand from the place of its origin (road border crossings) to the place of its operation, i.e. the ferry infrastructure, and not solely in particular segments of the ferry infrastructure.
