User acceptance of SMS-based e-government services: Differences between adopters and non-adopters     

Tony Dwi Susanto  Robert Goodwin 《Government Information Quarterly》2013

Delivering public services through the SMS channel is popular in developed and developing countries, and it has demonstrated its benefits. However, citizens' acceptance of the services is still an issue. This paper presents a study on user acceptance of SMS-based e-government services. Constructs of the proposed model were derived from a survey on citizens' motivations for using SMS-based e-government services (142 respondents from 25 countries), prominent theories on individual acceptance of technologies, and current studies on user acceptance of SMS and e-government services. The model was validated using data from 589 citizens in three cities in Indonesia, who are non-adopters. The relationships between the factors then were compared with data from 80 adopters of SMS-based e-government services in Australia. The proposed model explains what factors influence non-adopters to accept SMS-based e-government services, and the comparison explains the relative importance of the factors for the adopters. The findings are promising for governments who wish to evaluate a new SMS-based e-government system very early in its development in order to assess potential acceptability and for governments who would like to diagnose the reasons why an existing SMS-based e-government service is not fully acceptable to citizens and to take corrective action to increase the acceptability of the service.  相似文献   

The American Universities Which Published Most Often in Journals for Business & Finance,Law, Education,and Social Sciences Librarians, 2000–2010     

Amy Hardin  Tony Stankus 《Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship》2013,18(3):251-261

The authors adapt the methods and ranking system of the 5-year study by Wiberley, Hurd, and Weller (2006) to report the number and affiliations of papers published by subject-specialist librarians in four journals from 2000 to 2010: the Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship, Law Library Journal, Legal Reference Services Quarterly, and Behavioral and Social Sciences Librarian. While both approaches demonstrated high output from many of the same highly ranked universities, our modified approach identified a significant number of unranked schools that may have deep specialty strengths among their subject expert librarian authors.  相似文献

What Makes Schools Effective? A Comparison between School Communities in Australia and the USA∗     

Tony Townsend 《School Effectiveness & School Improvement》2013,24(3):311-326

This paper reports on findings related to the perceptions held by members of school communities with respect to the factors which most help schools to be effective. The data are from a study conducted in Melbourne, Australia and in seven states of the United States of America. Findings from this research indicate that members of school communities: principals, teachers, parents and students believe that the most critical elements that contribute to the development of an effective school are dedicated and qualified staff, clear school purposes, strong academic and administrative leadership, a safe school environment and a positive school climate.

Introduction     

Tony Wright 《Open Learning》2013,28(1):3-4

In the last issue of our predecessor journal, Teaching at a Distance, Alistair Morgan considered what the term ‘independent learning’ meant in the Open University context. This article continues that debate, placing it in the context of a general model of the teaching and learning system, and relates independent learning to the idea of learning as personal development. The author, Tony Wright, is Staff Tutor in Technology in the East Anglian region of the Open University.  相似文献   

Measurement of three-dimensional hand kinematics during swimming with a motion capture system: a feasibility study     

Tony Monnet  Mathias Samson  Anthony Bernard  Laurent David  Patrick Lacouture 《Sports Engineering》2014,17(3):171-181

Current trends in swimming biomechanics are focused on accurate measurements. Nowadays, reliable calibration methods have been proposed to reach an accuracy of about 1 mm on rigid structure. But the question remains about the final accuracy for three-dimensional hand kinematics measurement during the underwater phase of front crawl swimming. Furthermore, most research is based on manual tracking with two or more cameras. In this paper we propose a protocol to acquire three-dimensional hand kinematics when swimming in a specific pool with a motion analysis system behind windows. Results highlight the benefits of using such a system in terms of accuracy and feasibility: the time allowed for post-processing is ten times lower and the quantified improved accuracy is better than with manual tracking.  相似文献   

Distinction on the box: Cultural capital and the social space of broadcasting     

Tony Bennett 《Cultural Trends》2006,15(2-3):193-212

The literature on cultural capital has had relatively little to say about television viewing, except insofar as television has served as a negative point of reference in relation to which other cultural practices register their distinctiveness. This article, by contrast, examines the respects in which practices of distinction are operative within the space of broadcast television. Looking first at the ‘internal economy’ of television as expressed in the relations between genre, programme and channel preferences, it then examines how these preferences are related to occupational class, gender, level of education and ethnicity. While showing that divisions within the space of broadcasting are most powerfully articulated in terms of age and gender, the article also shows that occupational class and level of education play important roles in stratifying television audiences along traditional ‘high’/‘low’ lines. A closer analysis of the relations between these variables reveals more complex patterns of distinction, particularly in the place occupied by ‘new drama’ and ‘new comedy’ in the preferences of younger, well-educated viewers.  相似文献
