User registration can have a serious impact on the success of online government services. Different services require different levels of identity assurance, and different registration processes are put in place to deliver them. But from the citizen's perspective, these processes often require a disproportionate amount of effort, which reduces users' acceptance. Typically, when sign-up to high-effort services is not mandatory, take-up is low; when it is compulsory, it causes resentment, and neither is desirable. Designers of services requiring registration currently have no way of assessing likely user acceptance at design time. We are introducing a tool that allows system designers to identify the impact of registration processes on different groups of users, in terms of workload and friction. Personas have been successfully applied to assist security designers, and we extend the concept with statistical properties, and introduce the Persona Group Calibration (PGC) exercise to calibrate the different personas for sensitivity to specific identity-related elements.
Aims and objectives: A systematic review of published studies on service user involvement in undergraduate, pre-registration general nursing education (excluding mental health-specific programmes). The objective is to examine how students are exposed to engagement with service users. Background: The requirement of service user involvement in all nurse education is policy expectation of health professional education providers, in response to the increased public and political expectations. Previous literature reviews have focused solely on mental health. Design: Systematic review using the PRISMA guidelines; timeframe 1997-2014; published in English. Methods: Search of CINAHL, Cochrane Review, Education Research Complete, Internurse, MEDLINE, PsychINFO, Scopus, SocINDEX and Web of Science yielded 229 citations; 11 studies met the review eligibility criteria. Results: Seven studies used qualitative methodology, two quantitative and two mixed methods. Studies from the United Kingdom dominated (n=9), the remainder from South Africa and Turkey. The results are described using four themes: benefits and limitations of service user involvement; nursing student selection; education delivery; practice-based learning and assessment. Most studies were small scale; nine had less than 30 participants. Overall the evidence suggests that student, lecturers and service users valued service user involvement in nurse education, to provide an authentic insight into the illness experience. Logistical considerations around support and student cohort size emerged. Conclusions: This is the first systematic review to focus on service user involvement in general nurse education. It reveals that service user involvement commenced later and is more limited in general programmes as compared to equivalent mental health education provision. Most of the evidence focuses on perceptions of the value of involvement. Further research is required to more clearly establish impact on learning and clinical practice. Relevance to clinical practice: service user involvement in nurse education is valued by stakeholders but preparation and support for those involved, including mentors is underestimated.
In recent years there has been concern among law enforcement and national security organizations about the use of "anonymous" prepaid mobile phone service and its purported role in supporting criminal and terrorist activities. As a result, a number of countries have implemented registration requirements for such service. Privacy rights advocates oppose such regulatory measures, arguing that there is little practical value in attempting to register prepaid mobile devices, and the issue raises important questions about a citizen's entitlement to anonymity in the ownership of a networked communications device. This article provides an overview of the issue and presents findings drawn from a recent study on prepaid mobile phone regulation in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries. The article concludes by suggesting that there are significant problems with the claim that mandatory registration of prepaid mobile phone service is a necessary or an effective regulatory course of action.
Improved information about actual users is a key element in developing user-responsive archival administration. The findings of a 1984 survey of researchers in four presidential libraries are summarized. Rather than compare libraries, the study identified patterns of behavior within groups of researchers. The questionnaire collected information well beyond what is available on standard registration forms and linked researchers with the basic elements of reference service: preliminary correspondence, orientation interviews, and direct reference room assistance. The findings emphasize the academic affiliation (faculty, students) of over three-quarters of respondents and the predominance of traditional political and diplomatic topics of study. Researchers generally have made some advance preparation and have had previous research experience These factors have a strong bearing on whether they adjusted their preferred and actual research styles in the course of a visit. High researcher satisfaction ultimately has more to do with whether they located useful archival materials than with the quality of particular reference services. ; Peer Reviewed ; https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/149483/1/J01 Conway Research in Presidential Libraries 1986.pdf ; Description of J01 Conway Research in Presidential Libraries 1986.pdf : Main article
Part 2: INTERNET CRIME INVESTIGATIONS ; International audience ; Internet real-name registration requires a user to provide personal identification credentials including his/her real name to an online service provider when registering for an account. In China, real-name registration has been implemented since 2010 for purchasing train tickets and mobile phone SIM cards. In 2013, the Chinese government announced that real-name registration would be implemented for Internet users to protect against cyber crimes, including cyber bullying, rumor spreading and identity theft. When real-name registration is in place, law enforcement agencies can obtain the real identity of a user who attempts to leverage the anonymity provided by the Internet to conduct criminal activities. However, real-name registration also potentially infringes on online privacy.This chapter presents a privacy-preserving Internet real-name registration approach based on Shamir's secret sharing scheme. The approach helps protect the identities of online users while enabling law enforcement to obtain the identities of users involved in criminal activities on the Internet.
This collection of case studies describes experiences and draws lessons from varied business registration reform programs in economies in vastly different stages of development: Bulgaria, Estonia, Ireland, Madagascar, and Malaysia. Over the last twenty years, a number of countries have recognized the importance of smooth and efficient business start up procedures. A functioning business registration system is now viewed as an important regulatory requirement of any economy, and a predictable, transparent, and modern business registration system is acknowledged to help promote private sector growth and job generation. Business registration gives businesses formal status and formal operation in the marketplace. It is a dynamic process that impacts the life of its stakeholders, commercial counterparties, and employees by introducing new responsibilities, opportunities, and challenges.
This study investigated a hospital online registration system using data derived from qualitative and quantitative research and analyzed through the means-end chain (MEC) approach and Kano model. Initial qualitative surveys with 34 interviewees set up the questionnaire items used in a subsequent survey with 376 valid respondents to construct a Kano–MEC hierarchical value map (HVM). HVM depicts the innermost thoughts and cognitive structure of hospital online registration users. Findings showed that offering the functions of right-clicking the registration by department tab or by symptom of a disease and providing outpatients with instant messaging to know the progress of clinic appointment number are the most important features to rapidly improve user satisfaction. Future research may consider following the procedure used in this study to understand the actual needs of users and develop an efficient e-system for them.
Movable assets tangible or intangible often account for most of firm's capital stock. Thus it is important for jurisdictions to develop adequate laws on secured transactions to allow borrowers and lenders to recognize movable assets as collateral, supporting financing secured with such assets. Though the legal and regulatory framework is essential to any secured transactions system, the efficacy of a secured transactions law also requires an effective registration mechanism for interests in movable property. This report focuses on analysis of such institutions, highlighting the importance of a publicly accessible registry where information on interests in movable assets can be registered. The main goals of collateral registries are to provide public notice of interests in movable assets and to establish priority in the assets described in the notice for secured creditors. This report also addresses the different registration mechanisms for security interests in movable property and their effectiveness in achieving the two goals stated above. It does so using the results of a 2010 World Bank Group survey on collateral registries. The report emphasizes the practices and features available in different registries and key characteristics of effective collateral registries. The experiences of jurisdictions that have instituted best practice registries show how technology can improve the efficiency of collateral registries.
In the private sector, outsourcing has become a recognized feature of the business scene. While there are various reasons for contracting out functions to external organizations, in general the justification relates to the potential cost-benefit from adopting this approach. This study set out to ascertain whether the same considerations applied to administrative procedures associated with starting a business. Did business registries outsource any or all of their functions? If so, did the same considerations apply as for the private sector? Were there lessons to be learned from their experience? Responses to these and other questions were received from 53 registries. This paper is not about global commerce, at least, not in the usual sense. It is about some of the more mundane administrative procedures that underpin the activities of the private sector, the basics that help it to function. Business registration is seen as a key factor in determining the investment climate of a country.
Kerambitan village is one of the 15 villages in Kerambitan sub-district, Tabanan regency, Kerambitan village has 7 service hamlets. Kerambitan village population has more than 3,338 inhabitants consisting of 1,700 men and 1,638 women with a sex ratio of 103.79. . To realize good governance, it needs to be recorded well so that the information can be utilized by related agencies which can be used for receiving assistance. During this time the process of recording population events such as recording the receipt of assistance is done manually where the information is done in tabular form so it does not clearly describe the respective information groups. Data warehouse (DW or DWH), also known as enterprise data warehouse (EDW), is a system used for reporting and analyzing data, and is considered a core component of business intelligence, The purpose of building a data warehouse is to provide a system that allows the right data to reach the right end user at the right time. Thus, the main purpose of implementing this data warehouse system is to provide relevant and timely information in an easily understood format so that service decisions to the public can be made more efficiently and effectively. the purpose of this research is to form a data warehouse model scheme of population records owned by kerambitan village government and through modeling this data warehouse also provides reliable information from a collection of data, in addition this research also retrieves some information from the data warehouse in build based on kerambitan village population records in this study I chose to use the fact constellation scheme because there are fact tables that are interconnected with dimension tables and also fact tables that are related to other fact tables. The design model of the data warehouse is designed based on 3 excel table files, each of which has 1 table from the Government of Kerambitan Villages. In this case, 3 reports are proposed to be made based on the query results from the data warehouse. Through the application of a data warehouse that was formed, the executive or government can conduct analysis of the reports generated based on various dimensions that exist. ; Kerambitan village is one of the 15 villages in Kerambitan sub-district, Tabanan regency, Kerambitan village has 7 service hamlets.

OpenAIRE is the European Union initiative for an Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe that aims to establish an open and sustainable scholarly communication infrastructure responsible for the overall management, analysis, manipulation, provision, monitoring and cross-linking of all research outcomes (publications, related datasets, software and services) across existing, planned and future repositories. In the new phase of OpenAIRE, among the project's goals, there is the one to repackage OpenAIRE services providing them as complete products to the final users. This workshop puts forward an interactive session aiming to provide detailed information on the main services and tools targeting content providers and in which OpenAIRE team foresee to collect contributions from the repository manager's community to further develop the portfolio of services offered by OpenAIRE. The workshop will provide an interactive demo of the dashboard for content providers tools (repositories registration and validation, collection monitor and content enrichments), detailing mainly the catch-all broker service functionalities, such as the metadata enrichments and the usage statistics service. Additionally, this all day workshop will introduce attendees the new content acquisition policy, the Guidelines for Literature Repository Managers version 4.0 and the OpenAIRE graph.
User fees are used to recover costs and discourage unnecessary attendance at primary care clinics in many developing countries. In South Africa, user fees for children aged under 6 years and pregnant women were removed in 1994, and in 1997 all user fees at all primary health care clinics were abolished. The intention of these policy changes was to improve access to health services for previously disadvantaged communities. We investigated the impact of these changes on clinic attendance patterns in Hlabisa health district. Average quarterly new registrations and total attendances for preventive services (antenatal care, immunization, growth monitoring) and curative services (treatment of ailments) at a mobile primary health care unit were studied from 1992 to 1998. Regression analysis was undertaken to assess whether trends were statistically significant. There was a sustained increase in new registrations (P = 0.0001) and total attendances (P = 0.0001) for curative services, and a fall in new registrations (P = 0.01) and total attendances for immunization and growth monitoring (P = 0.0002) over the study period. The upturn in demand for curative services started at the time of the first policy change. The decreases in antenatal registrations (P = 0.07) and attendances (P = 0.09) were not statistically significant. The number of new registrations for immunization and growth monitoring increased following the first policy change but declined thereafter. We found no evidence that the second policy change influenced underlying trends. The removal of user fees improved access to curative services but this may have happened at the expense of some preventive services. Governments should remain vigilant about the effects of new health policies in order to ensure that objectives are being met.
Couchsurfing is a website, i.e., a platform that provides services to those who dare to use free accommodation in someone's home and a platform that offers the opportunity to socialize with other Couchsurfers and join groups where mutual experiences on tourism and destination activities are exchanged. Given that the concept of Couchsurfing is unusual in comparison to other platforms of sharing economy, the aim of this research paper is to determine the profile or characteristics of platform users and the impact of Couchsurfing on destination tourism. The main goal is to answer the question on how a platform that provides free accommodation in a foreigner's home contributes to the development of tourism and the recognition of the destination. For this purpose, a survey questionnaire on the attitudes of users was conducted, as well as an in-depth interview with the hosts. Methods of analysis, comparison and descriptive method were used. The focus of the research is Croatia as a tourist destination and the key results include financial analysis in terms of consumption and registration of tourists on Couchsurfing who do not pay the sojourn tax, as well as the effects of supply, demand and marketing through tourists' activities in the destination including social media and other destination image forming activities. These aspects were complemented by research on the safety and future of Couchsurfing.
