Full textAbstract:
The problem with which this study is concerned is the association between systematic exposure to information about computers and attitude changes to computers among students who are non-computer majors. The experimental design includes a semester length course in introduction to computers at a small community college in Texas.
The study has a twofold purpose. The first is to determine the pre-instruction direction and valence of attitudes of non-computer majors towards computers. The second is to determine the post-instruction direction and valence of attitudes of non-computer majors towards computers.
A questionnaire was used to measure attitudes of students towards computers as a pre-test and post-test. The test results were encoded for computer statistical analysis. To determine the valence of changes in attitudes, chi-square tests were applied for each statement of the questionnaire with combinations between pre-test and post-test and each of the variables: gender, age, student performance, and instructor. To determine changes of direction in attitudes, a phi coefficient was applied for each statement of the questionnaire.
The following conclusions may be drawn from the data collected for this study.
1. Based upon gender, age, student performance, and the variable of instructor, there was a significant difference in the valence of changes in attitudes towards computers.
2. Based upon gender, age, student performance, and the variable of instructor, there was no difference in the
direction of change in attitudes towards computers.

"The Association Between Computer- Oriented and Non-Computer-Oriented Mathematics Instruction, Student Achievement, and Attitude Towards Mathematics in Introductory Calculus." Thesis, University of North Texas, 1989. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc332306/.
Full textAbstract:
The purposes of this study were (a) to develop, implement, and evaluate a computer-oriented instructional program for introductory calculus students, and (b) to explore the association between a computer-oriented calculus instructional program, a non-computer-oriented calculus instructional program, student achievement on three selected calculus topics, and student attitude toward mathematics.
An experimental study was conducted with two groups of introductory calculus students during the Spring Semester, 1989. The computer-oriented group consisted of 32 students who were taught using microcomputer calculus software for in-class presentations and homework assignments. The noncomputer-oriented group consisted of 40 students who were taught in a traditional setting with no microcomputer intervention.
Each of three experimenter-developed achievement examinations was administered in a pretest/posttest format with the pretest scores being used both as a covariate and in determining the two levels of student prior knowledge of the topic.
For attitude toward mathematics, the Aiken-Dreger Revised Math Attitude Scale was administered in a pretest/ posttest format with the pretest scores being used as a covariate. Students were also administered the MAA Calculus Readiness Test to determine two levels of calculus prerequisite skill mastery.
An ANCOVA for achievement and attitude toward mathematics was performed by treatment, level, and interaction of treatment and level. Using a .05 level of significance, there was no significant difference in treatments, levels of prior knowledge of topic, nor interaction when achievement was measured by each of the three achievement examination posttests. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between treatments, levels of student prerequisite skill mastery, and interaction when attitude toward mathematics was measured, at the .05 level of significance.
It was concluded that the use of the microcomputer in introductory calculus instruction does not significantly effect either student achievement in calculus or student attitude toward mathematics.

The impact of computer use is evident in every day life (Harrington, Carter, Birrell and Gompertz, 2000:264). Lind (2002:18) explains that global trends continue to show that the most severe work-related health problems that exist amongst computer users are musculoskeletal disorders. As technology has lead to increases in automation, so it has lead to increases in work-related illnesses. Although studies have explored the effects of ergonomics (Thibodeau, 1995:322) in static working positions there has been little evidence supporting a solution in overcoming poor occupational postures. Many health practitioners argue that occupationally caused, or aggravated, musculoskeletal disorders are steadily increasing. Thus, even though computers have improved productivity and made work easier for the population in general, they have adverse effects as well. Designing the proper tools or a setup of the work place is of prime importance for the elimination of chronic diseases attributed to sedentary lifestyles. Regular physical activity had long been regarded as an important component of a healthy lifestyle. This notion has recently been reinforced by scientific evidence linking regular physical activity with a wide array of physical and mental health benefits, synonymous with an improvement in wellness (Pratt, Macera, and Wang, 2000:63). According to Pratt et al. (2000:63) higher direct medical costs associates with physical inactivity. Further cross-sectional epidemiologic studies and controlled experimental investigations conducted by Okura, Nakata and Tanaka (2003:1131) had demonstrated that physically active adults, in contrast to their sedentary counterparts, tend to develop and maintain higher levels of physical fitness. These studies had not only demonstrated the positive results of physical activity, such as an improvement in blood lipid profile, body composition, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, but had also shown that participation in such activity decreased the risk of developing several chronic hypokinetic diseases, including coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, non-insulin dependant diabetes mellitus (type II), osteoporosis, colon cancer, anxiety and depression. In addition, low levels of habitual physical activity and the subsequent low levels of physical fitness were associated with a marked increase in all-cause mortality rates. Okura et al. (2003:1131) confirm that effects of exercise intensity on physical fitness and risk factors for coronary Herat disease.

Ansley, Jane. "Computer interaction : its effect on attitude and performance in older adults." FIU Digital Commons, 1987. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/1292.
Full textAbstract:
This study examined the interaction of age, attitude, and performance within the context of an interactive computer testing experience. Subjects were 13 males and 47 females between the ages of 55 and 82, with a minimum of a high school education.
Initial attitudes toward computers, as measured by the Cybernetics Attitude Scale (CAS), demonstrated overall equivalence between these older subjects and previously tested younger subjects. Post-intervention scores on the CAS indicated that attitudes toward computers were unaffected by either a "fun" or a "challenging" computer interaction experience.
The differential effects of a computerized vs. a paperand- pencil presentation format of a 20-item, multiple choice vocabulary test were examined. Results indicated no significant differences in the performance of subjects in the two conditions, and no interaction effect between attitude and performance.
These findings suggest that the attitudes of older adults towards computers do not affect their computerized testing performance, at least for short term testing of verbal abilities. A further implication is that, under the conditions presented here, older subjects appear to be unaffected by mode of testing. The impact of recent advanced in technology on older adults is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Attitude determination involves the estimation of the orientation of a body (usually aircraft or satellite) with respect to a known frame of reference. It has important applicationsin areas spanning navigation and communication. There exist two main approaches for determining attitude using the Global Positioning System (GPS): (1) algorithms which determine attitude via baseline estimates in two frames, and (2) algorithms which solve for attitude by incorporating the attitude parameters directly into the state. For each approach, we propose an algorithm which aims to determine attitude in an efficient and numerically reliable fashion. We present numerical simulations demonstrating the performance of our algorithms and provide a comparison evaluating which approach is better - a result which is not presently clearly documented in the literature.La détermination de l'attitude est l'estimation de l'orientation dans l'espace d'un véhicule ou d'un satellite par rapport à un repère de référence. Ils existent des applications importantes qui exigent la connaissance de l'attitude, particulièrement dans les domaines de navigation et de communication. La détermination de l'attitude à l'aide de GPS peut être obtenue a partir de deux approches: (1) en déterminant la rotation en utilisant des estimées de lignes de base de deux repères, ou (2) en utilisant des mesures de GPS pour déterminer les paramètres d'attitude directement. Pour chaque approche, on propose un algorithme à but de déterminer l'attitude de manière efficace et numériquement fiable. On présente des simulations démontrant la performance de nos algorithmes. On présente aussi une comparaison évaluant quelle serait la meilleure approche - un résultat qui n'est pas actuellement clairement documenté dans la littérature.

Full textAbstract:
Software forms around a requirement. Defining this requirement is often regarded as the hardest part of software engineering. The requirement however has an additional complexity as, once defined, it will change with time. This change of requirement can come either from the user, or from the rapid advances in 'computer' technology. How then can software succeed to continue to remain 'current' both in terms of requirements and technology in this forever changing environment? This thesis examines the issues surrounding 'change' as applied to software and software engineering. Changing requirements are often deemed a 'curse' placed upon software engineers. It has been suggested, however, that the problems associated with change exist only in the attitude of software engineers. This is perhaps understandable considering the training methods and tools available to supposedly 'help' them. The evidence shows that quality of management and experience of personnel involved in development contribute more significantly to the success of a development project than any technical aspect. This unfortunately means that the process is highly susceptible to staff turnover which, if uncontrolled, can lead to pending disaster for the users. This suggests a 'better' system would be developed if 'experience' was maintained at a process level, rather that at an individual level. Conventional methods of software engineering are based upon a defined set of requirements which are determined at the beginning of the software process. This thesis presents an alternative paradigm which requires only a minimal set of requirements at the outset and actively encourages changes and additional requirements, even with a mature software product. The basis of this alternative approach is the fonn of the 'requirements specification' and the capturing and re-use of the 'experience' maintained by the software process itself.

We propose a framework for compressive sensing of images with local distinguishable objects, such as stars, and apply it to solve a problem in celestial navigation. Specifically, let x [epsilon] RN be an N-pixel image, consisting of a small number of local distinguishable objects plus noise. Our goal is to design an m x N measurement matrix A with m << N, such that we can recover an approximation to x from the measurements Ax. We construct a matrix A and recovery algorithm with the following properties: (i) if there are k objects, the number of measurements m is O((klog N)/(log k)), undercutting the best known bound of O(klog(N/k)) (ii) the matrix A is ultra-sparse, which is important when the signal is weak relative to the noise, and (iii) the recovery algorithm is empirically fast and runs in time sub-linear in N. We also present a comprehensive study of the application of our algorithm to attitude determination, or finding one's orientation in space. Spacecraft typically use cameras to acquire an image of the sky, and then identify stars in the image to compute their orientation. Taking pictures is very expensive for small spacecraft, since camera sensors use a lot of power. Our algorithm optically compresses the image before it reaches the camera's array of pixels, reducing the number of sensors that are required.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing numbers of students are returning to school and choosing alternatives to the lecture method of instruction. Using technology to reach students is a solution colleges and universities are evaluating and implementing with the goal of increasing enrollment and reducing the cost of instruction. This research examines the impact two technology-based delivery systems have on the student's learning experience compared with an equivalent classroom-based instructional method.
Academic institutions are being asked to respond to the rapid changes faced by the communities they serve especially as current workers return to join new students in obtaining knowledge and skills needed in today's workplace. The key technology of today's economy is based on access to instruction; however, the data is limited in describing the characteristics of distant learners and the effectiveness of tele courses and web-based instructional systems compared to the lecture-based system. This research is a qualitative and quantitative study that examined and evaluated traditional lecture-based, tele course, and web-based instructional delivery systems during an academic year. The hypothesis of this research is that there is no significant difference between the three instructional delivery systems in terms of performance, measured by a pre-test and overall final course grade, and attitude measured by survey response.
The research project is based on a quasi-experimental design with three key factors. The first factor is the instructional delivery system (lecture class, telecourse, and web-based), the second factor is gender, and the third factor is age. For this study the students were defined as either traditional age (under the age of 22) or non-traditional age (22 years and older). This research provides data to the educational community that indicates student performance is not impacted by their choice of a telecourse or a web-based section. There was no significant difference in the final course grades in these two forms of distance learning delivery systems when compared to final course grades earned by students in the traditional lecture class during the academic year. The results will provide academic and administrative teams with additional data to assist in the implementation of appropriate instructional delivery systems. This research can provide institutions with facts that will allow them to utilize technology-based delivery systems confident that students will not be negatively impacted when compared to conventional teaching/learning methods.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the following factors predict computer use by teachers in classroom instruction: attitudes of teachers toward computers in the classroom, access by teachers and students to computers, training of teachers in computer use, support of teachers in their use of computers, age of the teacher, grade level in which the teacher teaches, curriculum area in which the teacher teaches, gender of the teacher, and number of years the teacher is from retirement. Computer use was measured in five ways: over-all computer use and use in drill and practice, whole class instruction, student-directed learning, and computer skills instruction.
The design of the study was both quantitative and qualitative. The population of the study was the classroom teachers of Carroll County (Virginia) Public Schools. A survey instrument was designed to measure computer use and the factors related to use. The responses from the survey were analyzed with multiple regression techniques to determine which factors were predictors of computer use by teachers in classroom instruction. The qualitative portion of the study consisted of five focus groups (5-7 teachers from grades PreK-2, 3-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-12). The nominal group technique was used to create a prioritized list of strategies to improve teacher use of computers by focusing on the factors determined to be predictors.
Factors that predict computer use varied by grade level. Training was the most common predictor followed by attitude, support, access, and age of teacher. The prioritized lists of strategies from the focus groups included grade and curriculum specific computer training, technology "coaches" in every building, and computer labs in every building. A major implication of the study was that training must be specifically targeted to grade level and curriculum area to be effective.Ed. D.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research was to determine whether The Computer Helpdesk vocational computing course, in conjunction with The Virtual Workplace simulation computer program, changed attitude about customer service. Thirty-seven adult female students at Fujairah Women's College of the Higher Colleges of Technology in the United Arab Emirates took part in the study. To assess possible attitude change, a combination of observation, interview and survey techniques were used. The Likert scale customer service attitude survey, which measured beliefs and perceptions about customer service, fanned the primary data gathering instrument. Qualitative and quantitative data were triangulated, and quantitative results were analysed using MANOVA. Results suggest strongly that the combination of the Computer Helpdesk course and the Virtual Workplace simulation program generally did not change attitude about customer service, however some degree or amount of attitude change in some subjects was detected.

Full textAbstract:
CubeSats have become popular among universities, research organizations, and government agencies due to their low cost, small size, and light weight. Their standardized configurations further reduce the development time and ensure more frequent launch opportunities. Early cubesat missions focused on hardware validation and simple communication missions, with little requirement for pointing accuracy. Most of these used magnetic torque rods or coils for attitude stabilization. However, the intrinsic problems associated with magnetic torque systems, such as the lack of three-axis control and low pointing accuracy, make them unsuitable for more advanced missions such as detailed imaging and on-orbit inspection. Three-axis control in a cubesat can be achieved by combining magnetic torque coils with other devices such as thrusters, but the lifetime is limited by the fuel source onboard. To maximize the mission lifetime, a fast attitude control management algorithm that could optimally manage the usage of the magnetic and thruster torques is desirable. Therefore, a recently developed method, the B-Spline-augmented virtual motion camouflage, is presented in this defense to solve the problem. This approach provides results which are very close to those obtained through other popular nonlinear constrained optimal control methods with a significantly reduced computational time. Simulation results are presented to validate the capabilities of the method in this application.ID: 030646253; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (M.S.A.E.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 45-49).

Full textAbstract:
While computer technology is generally intended to increase employee productivity and effectiveness that same computer technology may be used in negative ways that reduces productivity and increases cost in the business environment. Computer abuse has occurred in the past 12 months in more than half of the business environments surveyed by the Computer Security Institute. To date, research results still indicate that employee computer abuse is problematic and continues to significantly increase. It is estimated American businesses will lose $63 billion each year due to employees' computer abuse on the Internet.
This study was a predictive study that attempted to predict employees' computer abuse intention (CAI) in the business environment based on the contribution of attitude (ATT), computer security policy awareness (CSPA), and computer self-efficacy (CSE). Working professionals from the south central United States were surveyed to determine their ATT toward computer abuse, CSPA, and CSE, as well as their intention to commit computer abuse in the business environment. A theoretical model was proposed, and two statistical methods were used to formulate models and test predictive power: Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Ordinal Logistic Regression (OLR). It was predicted that ATT, CSPA, and CSE will have a significant impact on employee's CAI. Results demonstrated that ATT was a significant predictor in predicting employee CAI on both the MLR and OLR regression models. CSE was a significant predictor on the MLR model only. CSPA was not found to be a significant predictor of CAI on either regression models.
There are two main contributions of this study. First, to develop and empirically validate models for predicting employee's CAI in the business environment. Second, to investigate the most significant construct of the three constructs studied that contribute to the employee's CAI in the business environment.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the effects of using computers in writing instruction on writing apprehension and attitude toward writing with the computer. Possible correlates of writing apprehension considered in the study were gender and GPA. Possible correlates of attitude toward writing with the computer were gender and the number of courses taken requiring in-class use of the computer. Analyses were conducted to determine if there was any correlation between the test instruments and to identify differences between the computer treatment group, the non-treatment comparison group, and an advanced placement group.
Riverview High School seniors and advanced placement juniors (N=234) who were enrolled in English classes in the 1991 fall quarter were tested before and after completing nine weeks of writing instruction. Data about the subjects' writing attitudes and attitudes toward writing with the computer were collected by means of standardized scales, and demographic data for the subjects was obtained from a survey and the Riverview guidance department.
Hypotheses were tested at a .05 confidence level using paired t-tests for dependent samples, unpaired t-tests for independent samples, Pearson product moment correlation coefficients, or analysis of variance. Because the analysis of variance indicated differences in writing attitude among the groups, a Scheffe F-test and a Fisher PLSD test were used to determine where the differences occurred. Of the possible correlates of writing apprehension tested, only gender was found to be significant. No correlates were found to be related significantly to attitude toward writing with the computer, and no significant correlation was found between the scales. Differences between the mean writing attitude scores and mean attitude toward writing with the computer scores were identified. Scores increased significantly in the computer treatment group on the Writing Attitude Scale (WAS) and the Attitude toward Writing with the Computer Scale (ATWCS). On both scales, posttest scores of the grade 12 treatment group were also significantly higher than those of the non-treatment grade 12 group. Scores did not increase significantly in the non-treatment group on the Writing Attitude Scale, but did increase significantly on the Attitude toward Writing with the Computer Scale, although the treatment group scores were still significantly higher.
Several curriculum recommendations were made based upon the results of this study. Recommendations for future study included extending the duration of the study, testing more grade levels, and expanding the population from which subjects were drawn.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the problem of designing and evaluating passive satellite attitude control systems for small satellites. Passive stabilization techniques such as Gravity Gradient stabilization, Passive Magnetic Stabilization, and Aerodynamic stabilization in Low Earth Orbit utilize the geometric and magnetic design of a satellite and the orbit properties to passively provide attitude stabilization and basic pointing. The design of such stabilization systems can be done using a high fidelity simulation of the satellite and the environmental effects in the orbit under consideration to study the on-orbit behavior and the effectiveness of the stability system in overcoming the disturbance torques. The Orbit Propagator described in this thesis is developed to include models for orbit parameters, Gravity Gradient torque, Aerodynamic Torque, Magnetic Torque, and Magnetic Hysteresis Material for angular rate damping. Aerodynamic stabilization of a three-unit CubeSat with deployable side panels in a “shuttlecock” design is studied in detail. Finally, the Passive Magnetic Stabilization system of KySat-1, a one-unit CubeSat, is also described in detail and the simulation results are shown.

Kunskapen om TV- och datorspelmissbruk bland ungdomar är idag väldigt begränsad. Stillasittande/fysisk inaktivitet, som TV- och datorspel ofta innebär och som kan innebära negativa konsekvenser, blir allt vanligare. En semistrukturerad intervjustudie har genomförts på sju män i åldersgruppen 17-29 år i syfte att undersöka drivkrafterna bakom mäns spelbeteende i tonåren. Dessutom har information om spelmissbruk bland ungdomar inhämtats av fyra yrkesverksamma inom spelområdet. Detta samt kopplingar mellan TV- och datorspel och spel om pengar har gjorts p g a bristen på forskning om TV- och datorspel. De före detta spelmissbrukarna har kategoriserats som fritidsspelare och spelproblematiker (som lyckats sluta missbruka spel på egen hand), samt spelberoende, som fått avstå helt från spel för att få ett slut på sitt missbruk, medan övriga än idag kan spela i måttlig och ytterst liten mängd. Verklig och upplevd kontroll över sig själva och omgivningen har varit viktiga determinanter för informanternas spelmissbruk. Anledningarna till att de slutade/minskade på spelandet är att de i huvudsak tappade intresset för spel (dock inte helt), fick andra prioriteringar och/eller inte ville få återfall där de återgår till sitt gamla missbruksbeteende. Spelandet har haft en funktion som flykt från en problematisk livssituation, vilken med tiden endast förvärrats för de spelberoende parallellt med missbruket. Även upplevelsen av direkt, tillfällig tillfredsställelse har varit en stor drivkraft samtidigt som det har lett till spelmissbruket. Det tidsödande fritidsintresset fick konsekvenser på den psykiska och fysiska hälsan och beteendet, utvecklingen, relationer till närstående, familjesituationen, skolgången, den sociala etableringen samt den socioekonomiska situationen, vilket sammanfattningsvis ledde till att informanterna utvecklade en ohälsosam och ofta destruktiv livsstil.The knowledge of computer- and video game abuse and addiction among young people is very limited today. The sedentary lifestyle and physical inactivity that computer- and video games often involve can have negative consequences, and are becoming more common. A semi-structured interview was conducted on seven men between the ages of 17-29 in order to examine the driving forces behind men’s gaming behavior in their adolescence. In addition, information about game abuse among young people was gathered from professionals in the area of computer- and video games. This and links between computer- and video games and gambling have been made due to the lack of research on video and computer games. The former video game addicts have been categorized as recreational players, game problematics (who by themselves managed to stop abusing games) and game addicts, who have completely abstained from gaming to put an end to their addiction, while the others still play moderately and very little today. Actual and perceived control over themselves and their environment has been important determinants for the player’s former addiction. The reason why they stopped/decreased the gaming is essentially because they lost interest in games (not completely though), got other priorities and/or did not want to relapse and return to old problematic behavior. Gaming as an escape from a problematic life situation was a common feature among the addicts. The situation for the game addicts only worsened with time along with their game abuse. Although the experience of direct, incidental satisfaction has been a major driving force, it simultaneously led to game abuse. The time-consuming leisure activity had consequences on the mental and physical health, behavior and social development, as well as on the relationships to relatives, family situation, school attendance, social establishment and socioeconomic situation. To sum up, the informants developed an unhealthy and often destructive lifestyle because of the game habits.

The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of two different methods of dynamic geometry based computer instruction on seventh grade students&rsquoattitudes towards geometry, attitudes toward mathematic and technology and spatial abilities compared to traditional textbook based instruction and to get the students&rsquo
views related to the effects of computer based instruction on their learning. The sample consisted of 57 seventh grade students from a private elementary school in Kayseri. The study was conducted in the 2006-2007 academic year, lasting 14 lesson hours (two weeks). The data were collected through spatial ability test, mathematics and technology attitude scale, geometry attitude scale, and interviews. The quantitative analyses were carried out by using multivariate covariance analyses. The results revealed that two different methods of dynamic geometry based computer instruction didn&rsquo
t have a significangt effect on students&rsquo
spatial abilities compared to traditional textbook based instruction. The results also indicated that two different methods of dynamic geometry based instruction had a significant effect on students&rsquo
attitudes toward geometry, mathematics and technology compared to traditional textbook based instruction. The results of the interviews indicated that computers created a dynamic learning environment which supported students&rsquo
development and computers also helped students to explore mathematic in a far more meaningful way.

This study was designed to investigate whether learning style and attitudes toward voice input technology were related to performance in using the technology. Three null hypotheses were tested: (a) No differences exist in the performance in dictating a paragraph using voice input for individuals with different learning styles; (b) No differences exist in attitude toward voice input for individuals with different learning styles; and (c) No interaction exists for the performance scores for individuals with different learning styles and different attitudes toward voice input technology. The statistical procedure used to examine the hypotheses was analysis of variance.
Participants were 50 students preparing to become vocational teachers enrolled in vocational education courses at Virginia Tech. Procedures involved having the participants complete three stages. First, they completed the Gregorc Style Delineator (GSD) learning style instrument. Due to a lack of individuals of one learning style category, abstract sequential (AS), only three learning style categories were used in the study. Second, they completed a background information sheet. Third, they participated in the voice-input training and dictation phase. Each student completed a one-hour session that included training, practice using voice input, and dictating a paragraph. Participants also completed the Attitude Toward Voice Input Scale developed by the researcher. It includes 21 attitude statements, 11 positively worded and 10 negatively worded.
The first hypothesis was not rejected. A student's learning style does not relate to the performance of the student when dictating a paragraph using voice input technology. The second hypothesis was not rejected either. A student's attitude toward voice input technology was not related to learning style. The third hypothesis was also not rejected. A student's learning style, regardless of whether the student had a "high" or "low" attitude toward voice input, was not significantly related to performance in using voice input technology. However, the mean performance scores of individuals with concrete sequential (CS) learning styles with "high" and "low" attitudes did appear to be different. Those with "high" attitudes toward voice input had better performance scores than those with "low" attitudes toward the technology.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
There has been a societal and legislative push to implement computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems throughout hospitals nationally in recent years due in large part to the public's awareness of an inordinate number of patient deaths due to medication errors in hospital settings. This mortality, and untold morbidity, became even more unacceptable when published findings suggested the majority of these 100,000 deaths each year could be avoided through the use of CPOE systems.
Yet acceptance has been slow and only a fraction of the hospitals have implemented this technology due to large start up costs, enormous technological requirements, and prior well-published failures of such attempts largely due to physicians' lack of acceptance.
A total of71 participants were surveyed whose daily responsibility involved the ordering of medications, to determine what attitudes they had concerning CPOE systems. This was done at a facility scheduled to implement such a system over the next year. The data showed evidence supporting many of the current implementation strategies, while suggesting modification of others.
Based on these findings, recommendations are made for future implementations with the hope of gaining enhanced physician acceptance and adoption, facilitating a more successful implementation of CPOE systems.

Full textAbstract:
The challenge of having to create and remember a secure password for each user account has become a problem for many computer users and can lead to bad password management practices. Simpler and less secure passwords are often selected and are regularly reused across multiple user accounts. Computer users within corporations and institutions are subject to password policies, policies which require users to create passwords of a specified length and composition and change passwords regularly. These policies often prevent users from reusing previous selected passwords. Security vendors and professionals have sought to improve or even replace password authentication. Technologies such as multi-factor authentication and single sign-on have been developed to complement or even replace password authentication. The objective of the study was to investigate the password habits of South African computer and internet users. The aim was to assess their attitudes toward password security, to determine whether password policies affect the manner in which they manage their passwords and to investigate their exposure to alternate authentication technologies. The results from the online survey demonstrated that password practices of the participants across their professional and personal contexts were generally insecure. Participants often used shorter, simpler and ultimately less secure passwords. Participants would try to memorise all of their passwords or reuse the same password on most of their accounts. Many participants had not received any security awareness training, and additional security technologies (such as multi-factor authentication or password managers) were seldom used or provided to them. The password policies encountered by the participants in their organisations did little towards encouraging the users to apply more secure password practices. Users lack the knowledge and understanding about password security as they had received little or no training pertaining to it.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 1995.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: New advanced control techniques for attitude determination and control of small (micro) satellites are presented. The attitude sensors and actuators on small satellites are limited in accuracy and performance due to physical limitations, e.g. volume, mass and power. To enhance the application of sophisticated payloads such as high resolution imagers within these confinements, a multi-mode control approach is proposed, whereby various optimized controller functions are utilized during the orbital life of the satellite. To keep the satellite's imager and antennas earth pointing with the minimum amount of control effort, a passive gravity gradient boom, active magnetic torquers and a magnetometer are used. A "cross-product" detumbling controller and a robust Kalman filter angular rate estimator are presented for the preboom deployment phase. A fuzzy controller and magnetometer full state extended Kalman filter are presented for libration damping and Z-spin rate control during inactive imager periods. During imaging, when high performance is required, additional fine resolution earth horizon, sun and star sensors plus 3-axis reaction wheels are employed. Full state attitude, rate and disturbance estimation is obtained from a horizon/sun extended Kalman filter. A quaternion feedback reaction wheel controller is presented to point or track a reference attitude during imaging. A near-minimum time, eigenaxis rotational reaction wheel controller for large angular maneuvers. Optimal linear quadratic and minimum energy algorithms to do momentum dumping using magnetic torquers, are presented. A new recursive magnetometer calibration method is designed to enhance the magnetic in-flight measurements. Finally, a software structure is proposed for the future onboard implementation of the multi-mode attitude control system.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Nuwe gevorderde beheertegnieke vir die oriëntasiebepaling en -beheer van klein (mikro-) satelliete word behandel. Die oriëntasiesensors en -aktueerders op klein satelliete het 'n beperkte akkuraatheid en werkverrigting as gevolg van fisiese volume, massa en kragleweringbeperkings. Om gesofistikeerde loonvragte soos hoë resolusie kameras binne hierdie tekortkominge te kan hanteer, word 'n multimode beheerbenadering voorgestel. Hiermee kan 'n verskeidenheid van optimale beheerfunksies gedurende die wentelleeftyd van die satelliet gebruik word. Om die satellietkamera en -antennas aardwysend te rig met 'n minimale beheerpoging, word 'n passiewe graviteitsgradiëntstang, aktiewe magneetspoele en 'n magnetometer gebruik. 'n "Kruisproduk" onttuimellings beheerder en 'n robuuste hoektempo Kalmanfilter afskatter is ontwikkel vir die periode voordat die graviteitsgradiëntstang ontplooi word. 'n Wasige beheerder en 'n volledige toestand, uitgebreide Kalmanfilter afskatter is ontwikkel om librasiedemping en Z-rotasietempo beheer te doen gedurende tydperke wanneer die kamera onaktief is. Gedurende kamera-opnames word hoë werkverrigting verlang. Fyn resolusie aardhorison, son en stersensors met 3-as reaksiewiele kan dan gebruik word. 'n Volledige oriëntasie, hoektempo en steurdraaimoment Kalmanfilter afskatter wat inligting van bogenoemde sensors gebruik, is ontwikkel. 'n “Quaternion” reaksiewiel terugvoerbeheerder waarmee die satelliet na verwysings oriëntasiehoeke gerig kan word of waarmee oriëntasiehoektempos gevolg kan word, word behandel. 'n Naby minimumtyd, "eigen"-as reaksiewielbeheerder vir groothoek rotasies is ontwikkel. Optimale algoritmes om momentumontlading van reaksiewiele met lineêre kwadratiese en minimumenergie metodes te doen, word afgelei en aangebied. 'n Nuwe rekursiewe kalibrasietegniek waarmee 'n magnetometer outomaties gedurende vlug ingestel kan word, is ontwikkel.

Full textAbstract:
Existing research suggests an intuitive relationship between mathematics and computer programming. These previous studies have focused primarily on the cognitive connection and have ignored the potential impact of programming on an individual's perception and application of mathematical skills. By surveying and interviewing a variety of participants, this study aims to provide a descriptive foundation for the experiential side of cognitive correlations and causalities. These phenomenological accounts, garnered from individual interviews of seven different programmers, indicate four specific areas of interest. First, learning to program provided context for many abstract concepts. Second, programming illustrated the important distinction between understanding the application of math in a specific situation and the execution of a known procedure. Third, programming habits helped participants divide complex problems into more manageable tasks. Finally, the necessity of solving a programming problem provided motivation and eliminated apprehension toward mathematics.

Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of
a dynamic instructional environment (based on use of Geometer&rsquos Sketchpad) on 7th grade students&rsquo
understandings of lines, angles, and polygons and their retention. Besides that, the students&rsquo
attitudes towards computer instruction and its relation with students&rsquo
performance on geometry and retention were investigated. The study was carried out with 63 7th grade students from two classes taught by the same teacher in a state elementary school. One class was assigned as the experimental group (EG), the other as the control group (CG). Students in CG received the instruction on lines, angles, and polygons by the regular traditional method used at the school. In the EG, students worked on the computer activities named as &ldquo
Sketchsheets&rdquo
, prepared by the researcher, with computers provided at the computer-lab. The usage of GSP with Sketchsheets enabled students to create the shapes first and after they explored and discovered the properties of shapes and make generalisations for the development of conjectures. Geometry Performance Test (GPT) and Computer Attitude Scale (CAS) were used in this study. The GPT was administered to both groups of students as a pre-test, post-test, and a delayed post-test. CAS was administered only to the EG students as a post-test. Furthermore, interviews were carried out with three students from EG in order to get their feelings about the dynamic instructional environment. Besides that, both of these classroom and computer sessions were observed and recorded with camera. The results of t-test suggest that GPT mean scores in EG and CG did not significantly differ in pre-test, but EG achieved significantly better than the CG in post and delay-post tests. CAS mean scores and interviews showed that students had positive feelings and decisions towards computer instruction and they preferred computer instruction to traditional instruction. Furthermore, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was performed in order to investigate the relationship between GPT scores and CAS scores. From this analysis, a significant correlation was observed between the GPT scores and CAS scores. This means that the students who had positive attitudes towards computer instruction, achieved significantly better at GPT. The results of this study revealed that Geometer&rsquo
s Sketchpad for learning and teaching geometry in elementary school level is an effective tool.

This study assessed differences in the knowledge of cardiac risk factors and the attitude toward computer assisted instruction (CAI) in cardiac rehabilitation patients instructed by lecture and transparencies or CAI. The quasi-experimental two-group posttest design used a convenience sample of 30 volunteers enrolled in a cardiac rehabilitation program. After randomization, cardiac risk factor instruction was conducted via lecture or the investigator developed CAI. The subjects completed a knowledge instrument which demonstrated content validity and a Kuder-Richardson formula 20 reliability coefficient of .0 and the Attitude Toward CAI scale which demonstrated content validity and a Cronbach's alpha .853 and .759. The data were analyzed by the two-sample t-test utilizing the .05 probability level. The results indicated a nonsignificant t value of .00 (df 28, p = 1.00) in the knowledge scores and a nonsignificant t value of 2.00 (df 28, p = .05) in attitude scores therefore the results failed to reject both null hypotheses. The conclusions drawn from this study are that CAI was as effective as lecture for patient education and that attitudes toward CAI were favorable.School of Nursing

This study was designed to investigate: (1) the mediating effects of computer self-efficacy on the relationship between the quantity of computer experience and computer attitude, and the relationship between the quantity of computer experience and computer anxiety; and (2) the mediating effects of computer self-efficacy on the relationship between the quality of computer experience and computer attitude, and the relationship between the quality of computer experience and computer anxiety; and (3) the moderating effects of others’ support on the relationship between computer self-efficacy and computer attitude, and the relationship between computer self-efficacy and computer anxiety. Subjects were 304 elementary school teachers from Taipei County and Taipei City. According to hierarchical regression analysis, the results provided support for the hypothesis that computer self-efficacy mediated the relationship between the quantity of computer experience and computer attitude, and the relationship between the quantity of computer experience and computer anxiety. However, computer self-efficacy neither mediated the relationship between the quality of computer experience and computer attitude, nor the relationship between the quality of computer experience and computer anxiety. Furthermore, others’ support neither moderated the relationship between computer self-efficacy and computer attitude, nor the relationship between computer self-efficacy and computer anxiety. The implications, limitations, further research directions, and applications in management are discussed at the end.

Thesis (M.A.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Arts Faculty (Industrial Psychology), 1997The paper set out to define anthropocentrism and anthropomorphism with respect to computers as well as creating valid and reliable scales to measure these constructs. It also explored these constructs' relationship with attitudes towards computers and began to explore possible predictors of anthropocentrism and anthropomorphism. Anthropocentrism with respect to computers was defined as a motive or value in which people perceive humanity to be the most significant of all entities and in which computers are seen as valuable to the extent that they are able to maintain or enhance the quality of life of humans or provide benefits to them. Anthropomorphism with respect to computers was defined as the extent to which people believe that computers have the same capabilities and characteristics that humans have. As hypothesised. anthropocentrism. anthropomorphism and attitudes towards computers were found to be negatively related but distinct constructs. Anthropocentrism was found to be positively related to attitudes towards computers and anthropomorphism was inversely related to attitudes towards computers. Exploratory studies found that predictors of anthropocentrism included gender. and predictors of anthropomorphism included gender. culture. and experience with computers.

This research is aiming to explore the increment of Tainan elementary school student’s network literacy and course satisfaction and the improvement of learning efficiency after the operation of Facebook platform. Total number of 4 classes with 104 fifth grade students is used as the main research object, which can be classified as control group and experimental group. Experimental group would be taught network literacy by Facebook platform; control group would be taught the same course by traditional methodology. Both two groups would have same teaching schemes, teaching materials and same amount of teaching activities. Additionally, computer learning attitude survey and network literacy survey would be given to students before and after the class. Further, the research would compare the differences of computer learning attitude and network literacy between two groups. On the other hand, course satisfaction survey would also be given to student after class time to understand the differences of course satisfaction between two groups of student. Lastly, students from the experimental group are required to fill out the Facebook studies feedback sheet to recognize learning problems in students. Important results were found after the Facebook application. At first, the research has found that experimental group has better general performance in the computer learning attitude section. Secondly, experimental group has better study performance in the network literacy section. Lastly, experimental group has better general performance in the course satisfaction section.

In this age of prosperous information, computer plays an important role and has become a required element in our life. Thus computer education should be emphasized in its importance and add to our civil compulsory education curriculum. Because the gifted and talented students will be the top of our country in the future, for adjusting to the social trend, the gifted and talented students’ learning certainly the using of computers. This studies were conducted in questionnaires. Two kinds of the adopted questionnaires were ’’ The data base of learning about computers ’’ and ’’ Computer attitude scale ’’. The method of research is cluster sampling survey. The sample size of 193 gifted and talented elementary pupils from three cities and counties in central Taiwan was chosen. A total number of 184 students out of 193 were valid samplers. T-test, One-way ANOVA, Person Product-moment Correlation and multiple regression were applied in the examination. The results are as follows: 1. In general, the more computer experience and computer resource the gifted elementary students in the central Taiwan have, the better attitude of computers they have. 2. The gender of the gifted elementary students in the central Taiwan correlates with their anxiety of computers. The grade of students and family socio-economic status do not correlate with their computer attitude. 3.(1)The more computer experience the gifted elementary students in the central Taiwan has, the better computer attitude they have. (2)In the aspect of computer resource in families, the gifted elementary students holding computer books or magazines have better attitude toward computers. In the aspect of computer resource in schools, the more computer equipments the gifted elementary students in the central Taiwan used, the better computer attitude they have. However, the others variables do not correlate with their computer attitude. 4.(1) The predictive accuracy value in computer anxiety of the gifted students for elementary schools in the central Taiwan was 13.7％.

ABSTRACT Incidence of children population playing video game increased dramatically nowadays due to rapid progression in digital technology. We raised questionnaire from the parents whose children are attending to public kindergarten in New Taipei City. Total of 601 questionnaires were collected and resulted in 513 valid questionnaires. We found some significant statistic correlation as following: 1. The incidence of the children playing video games is up to 78%, which is very high. 2. Parental attitudes toward children playing video games were affected by following factors including parentship (fathership/mothership), age, experience and duration of playing computer games. 3. Parents’ agreement in children playing video game is recognized in behavioral and educational aspect. Interestingly, most parents deemed playing video game will resulted in negative effect in “physical and mental development” of children. 4. There presented significant variance of parental factors with following factors: Independence in children selecting types of games which they played, situation in children playing video games, experience of children playing video games,parents' attitudes toward children playing video games and children playing video game which their parents disapproved. 5. There presented significant variance of children factors with following factors: Types of video games children selected and situation of children playing video games.

Full textAbstract:
Music studies’s turn to computation during the twentieth century has engendered particular habits of thought about music, habits that remain in operation long after the music scholar has stepped away from the computer. The computational attitude is a way of thinking about music that is learned at the computer but can be applied away from it. It may be manifest in actual computer use, or in invocations of computationalism, a theory of mind whose influence on twentieth-century music theory is palpable. It may also be manifest in more informal discussions about music, which make liberal use of computational metaphors. In Chapter 1, I describe this attitude, the stakes for considering the computer as one of its instruments, and the kinds of historical sources and methodologies we might draw on to chart its ascendance. The remainder of this dissertation considers distinct and varied cases from the mid-twentieth century in which computers or computationalist musical ideas were used to pursue new musical objects, to quantify and classify musical scores as data, and to instantiate a generally music-structuralist mode of analysis.
I present an account of the decades-long effort to prepare an exhaustive and accurate catalog of the all-interval twelve-tone series (Chapter 2). This problem was first posed in the 1920s but was not solved until 1959, when the composer Hanns Jelinek collaborated with the computer engineer Heinz Zemanek to jointly develop and run a computer program. Recognizing the transformation wrought on modern statistics and communications technology by information theory, I revisit Abraham Moles’s book Information Theory and Esthetic Perception (orig. 1958) and use its vocabulary to contextualize contemporary information-theoretic work on music that various evokes the computational mind by John. R. Pierce and Mary Shannon, Wilhelm Fucks, and Henry Quastler (Chapter 3). I conclude with a detailed look into a score-segmentation algorithm of the influential American music theorist Allen Forte (Chapter 4). Forte was a skilled programmer who spent several years at MIT in the 1960s, with cutting-edge computers and the company of first-rank figures in the nascent fields of computer science and artificial intelligence. Each one of the researchers whose work is treated in these case studies—at some stage in their relationship with music—adopted what I call the computational attitude to music, to varying degrees and for diverse ends. Of the many questions this dissertation seeks to answer: what was gained by adopting such an attitude? What was lost? Having understood these past explorations of the computational attitude to music, we are better suited ask of ourselves the same questions today.
