Stakeholder Requirements for Reporting Information and Digital Technologies

The modern system of accounting and reporting is in the process of reforming, and a particularly important component of the reform is the modifi cation of fi nancial reporting, since on its basis decisions are made on the development of the economic system by investors and other stakeholders, namely: the maximum expansion of the circle of information users; presentation of information related to the implementation of the planning function; provision of non-financial reporting refl ecting the value of the organization and preparation of non-fi nancial reporting; reflection of financial information on human capital, brands, innovation, provision of fi nancial environmental and social reporting; formation of general user orientation of fi nancial statements.

Electronic Guides on Websites of Russian Libraries: Types, Topics, Structure

The problem of a user orientation in modern information resources is raised. The role of electronic guides as a means of multidimensional information search is noted. The authors of the article translate the previously proposed definition of the concept of “electronic bibliographic guide” and reveal its significant features as a polystructural phenomenon. The authors analyze electronic bibliographic guides presented on the websites of federal and central libraries of the subjects of the Russian Federation. Their multidimensional classification is proposed. It takes into account 19 division bases. The results of the proposed study of these resources are presented. The characteristics of electronic guides on the following features are given: the method of access to reflected objects; access mode; language; the breadth of thematic coverage; belonging to a certain field of knowledge; a storage medium; the presence of a printed analogue. The three-part structure of electronic guides is considered, including an introductory article, the main part and auxiliary pointers and/or a search bar. The results and key findings can be used to improve the creation of electronic guides and improve the quality of electronic information resources created in libraries.

The relationship between user types and gamification designs

Gamification has been discussed as a standout approach to improve user experience, with different studies showing that users can have different preferences over game elements according to their user types. However, relatively less is known how different kinds of users may react to different types of gamification. Therefore, in this study ($$N=331$$ N = 331 ) we investigate how user orientation (Achiever, Disruptor, Free Spirit, Philanthropist, Player, and Socializer) is associated with the preference for and perceived sense of accomplishment from different gamification designs. Beyond singular associations between the user orientation and the gamification designs, the findings indicate no comprehensive and consistent patterns of associations. From the six user orientations, five presented significant associations: Socializer orientation was positively associated with Social, Fictional, and Personal designs, while negatively associated with Performance design; Player orientation was positively associated with Social (Accomplishment), Personal, and Ecological designs, while negatively associated with the Social design (Preference); Disruptor orientation was positively associated with Social design; Achiever orientation was positively associated with Performance and Social designs; and Free Spirit orientation was negatively associated with Social design. Based on the results, we provide recommendations on how to personalize gamified systems and set further research trajectories on personalized gamification.

In conclusion, user orientation and instruction has become important in all the tertiary institution in Nigeria, more so it’s assist patrons to know how to maximize the use of our libraries for self-motivated and self –reliant clientele.

Pengukuran Kinerja Pegawai Dinas Pekerjaan Umum Provinsi Maluku Dalam Pemanfaatan Sistem Informasi Dengan Menggunakan IT Balanced Scorecard

The public works office of Maluku province is one of the public bodies that has the task of carrying out the affairs of the local government. The purpose of the research is to find out the extent of contribution and utilization through IT applications in supporting employee performance needs. This study uses IT Balanced Scorecard method as a means of measuring clearly, monitoring and optimizing the realization of business values or benefits and benefits of Information Technology where IT Balanced Scorecard has 4 perspectives (Organizational Contribution Perspective, User Orientation Perspective, Operational Excellence Perspective, and Future Orientation Perspective). The research method that will be used in The Measurement of Performance of Public Works Service Employees is mixed methods. In this study, data collection was obtained through interviews, observations, and dissemination of questionnaires to a selected number of respondents based on their abilities and relevant to their work. This study showed the measurement value of Organizational Contribution by 23 percent, User Orientation by 19 percent, Operations by 21 percent, and Future Orientation by 20 percent and for the average result of the IT Balanced Scorecard value is 85 percent. In the employee measurement results, the highest perspective is organization contribution by 23 percent, and the lowest perspective is User Orientation by 19 percent. Thus, it indicates that the employee as a user is not adequate in the activities for the future. The ability and expertise of employees still have limitations with a number of obstacles in organizing the system appropriately. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the competence and expertise in the training provided. And also satisfaction in using information system applications need to be improved again so as to be able to face the changes to come.

Living a Meaningful Life While Struggling with Mental Health: Challenging Aspects Regarding Personal Recovery Encountered in the Mental Health System

Based upon academic and clinical experience from Denmark, this article aims to highlight international research-based knowledge concerning challenging aspects about the understanding and implementation of recovery-oriented practice. Three key points are located: (a) An integrative biopsychosocial approach considering both the clinical and personal recovery perspectives is relevant for research and practice. (b) Barriers in implementing a recovery-oriented approach include both individual and systemic challenges. This is well documented in the research-based literature, highlighting the need for changes. (c) A shift from professional control to a service-user orientation is seen as crucial. Examples of a positive shift are seen, helping the health professionals in their development and practicing of skills and competences through education and personal formation. Within these perspectives, a paradigm shift from a one-dimensional biomedical approach to a biopsychosocial approach is suggested. Instead of focusing on rapid stabilisation and symptom relief as a clinical outcome, a humanistic approach building on social- and person-oriented values is fundamental for social and personal recovery leading to a meaningful life.
