Abstract:

This essay frames the Anthropocene as ‘the age of planetary computerisation’. It claims that this term bestows Guattari's thinking with a critical ability to both grasp and challenge the present as an age in which the personal computer not only further empowers Integrated World Capitalism, but also appears as a geological force, that is, as one of the main drivers of the ecological devastation that now confronts humanity. At the same time the essay points to what it takes to be an overly optimistic perspective on the subversive potential of machines in Guattari's thinking. It claims that Guattari's machinic ecology can, in the light of the present geophysical destruction empowered by the personal computer, only be salvaged if read as an appeal for a cautious Prometheanism. This reading places Guattari's ecology more in conjunction with a Latourian way of thinking than with the new post-Marxist trend of Accelerationism.

Abstract:

This paper highlights the computerisation fundamentals of accounting information system through accounting software application. It presents the layers of computerisation, which are pivotal to the application of accounting software, namely the hardware, the application, and system software. Furthermore, it highlights accounting software with selected examples from the Sage Accounting Software and notes significant advantage of applying the accounting software into accounting operations. These include amongst others integration of different items and different segments, speed, reliability, volume, storage, virtual, and real-time concurrent operations. It highlights nascent threat to computerisation and remote accounting processing, namely the ransom-ware cyber-attack. Therefore, the development of new anti-cyber-attack accounting software becomes very pertinent.

Abstract:

Computers have, over the past 10 to 15 years, become an integral part of many activities carried out by British community pharmacists. This thesis employs quantitative and qualitative research methods to explore the use of computers and other forms of information technology (IT) in a number of these activities. Mail questionnaires were used to estimate the level of IT use among British community pharmacists in 1989 and 1990. Comparison of the results suggests that the percentage of community pharmacists using computers and other forms of IT is increasing, and that the range of applications to which pharmacy computers are put is expanding. The use of an electronic, on-line information service, PINS, by community pharmacists was investigated using mail questionnaires. The majority of community pharmacists who subscribed to the service, and who responded to the questionnaire, claimed to use PINS less than they had expected to. In addition, most did not find it user-friendly. A computer program to aid pharmacists when responding to their patients' symptoms was investigated using interviews and direct observation. The aid was not found to help pharmacists in responding to patients' symptoms because of impracticalities involved in its operation. Use of the same computer program by members of the public without the involvement of a pharmacist was also studied. In this setting, the program was favourably accepted by the majority of those who used it. Provision of computer generated information leaflets from pharmacies was investigated using mail questionnaires and interviews. The leaflets were found to be popular with the majority of recipients interviewed. Since starting to give out the leaflets, 27 out of 55 pharmacists who responded to the questionnaire had experienced an increase in the numbers of prescriptions they dispensed. 46 had experienced an increase in the number of patient enquiries they received.

Abstract:

Malaysia is embarking on a policy to transform the nation into a fully industrialised country by the year 2020 and this has implications for the industrial design profession and design education. Early studies and observations in this research identified that the body of knowledge is very rudimentary and teaching of computerisation is still detached from the teaching of industrial design. There is a need to consolidate the benefits that the computer can offer for designing into a structured curriculum to prepare the next generation of designers to meet the challenges of the future. Three phases of data collection were adopted in this research. The first phase involved a survey to establish the present perception of computerisation both in design consultancies and universities in the UK and Malaysia. The survey data were cleaned up and analysed resulting in an indication of. the extent of the general usage of computers in industrial design which at present is still very low-key. Many are restricting their use to 2D graphics features of the computer software. Only a small number of design consultancies and educational establishments exploit the computer's 3D modelling power for designing. This survey work was followed by case studies with selected respondents that formed the second phase of the research. These case studies were carried out with industrial design lecturers at four academic institutions, design consultancies, and industrial design professionals. The four educational case studies reflected the presence of four different levels of approach to the teaching of computerisation in industrial design. The case studies with design consultancies in the UK showed how they were being pressured by their clients' desire to reduce product realisation timescales thereby forcing them to adopt computerisation in their design practices. Whereas the case studies with industrial design professionals in Malaysia showed that, although still at an early phase, they all have a very positive view about the value of computing in industrial design. The final phase concerned a CAD experiment with industrial design students. This was designed with internal and external validity of the experiment as important considerations. The aim was to establish if there was any observed advantage in using the computer for designing. Data obtained were statistically analysed using the SPSS PC+ statistical package. Results were produced which revealed strong indicators that students involved with the experiment, and as a consequence designed using computers, showed a positive change in their opinion about computing after the experiment. The observed advantages of computer-aided industrial design (CAID) achieved by industrial design students during this research were studied, as was the outcome of the analysis of teaching practices in several universities and academic institutions both in the UK and Malaysia. The resulting evidence became the basis for formulating a proposed structured curriculum model for the teaching of computation in industrial design. A synthesis of computational solutions based on these studies, along with a combination of empirical factors, has enabled an innovative model to be proposed for the teaching of computing skills within industrial design education in- Malaysia.

Abstract:

There are many proof checking tools that allow capturing mathematical knowledge into formal representation. Those proof systems allow further automatic verifica- tion of the logical correctness of the captured knowledge. However, the process of encoding common mathematical documents in a chosen proof system is still labour- intensive and requires comprehensive knowledge of such system. This makes the use of proof checking tools inaccessible for ordinary mathematicians. This thesis provides a solution for the computerisation of mathematical documents via a num- ber of gradual steps using the MathLang framework. We express the full process of formalisation into the Mizar proof checker. The first levels of such gradual computerisation path have been developing well before the course of this PhD started. The whole project, called MathLang, dates back to 2000 when F. Kamareddine and J.B. Wells started expressing their ideas of novel approach for computerising mathematical texts. They mainly aimed at developing a mathematical framework which is flexible enough to connect existing, in many cases different, approaches of computerisation mathematics, which allows various degrees of formalisation (e.g., partial, full formalisation of chosen parts, or full formalisation of the entire doc- ument), which is compatible with different mathematical foundations (e.g., type theory, set theory, category theory, etc.) and proof systems (e.g., Mizar, Isar, Coq, HOL, Vampire). The first two steps in the gradual formalisation were developed by F. Kamareddine, J.B. Wells and M. Maarek with a small contribution of R. Lamar to the second step. In this thesis we develop the third level of the gradual path, which aims at capturing the rhetorical structure of mathematical documents. We have also integrated further steps of the gradual formalisation, whose final goal is the Mizar system. We present in this thesis a full path of computerisation and formalisation of math- ematical documents into the Mizar proof checker using the MathLang framework. The development of this method was driven by the experience of computerising a number of mathematical documents (covering different authoring styles).

Abstract:

AbstractA public administration authority, as a functional unit of public administration, is responsible for the implementation and quality of public services. The areas of competence of administrative authorities often refer to a specific field. This is also the case with computerisation. The processes it involves are closely related to innovation, new technologies and science. Computerisation has formed the substantive area of activities of various ministries. The minister competent for computerisation performs a range of organisational and reporting tasks and is responsible for the monitoring the implementation of the Cybersecurity Strategy of the Republic of Poland and the performance of action plans for its implementation. The minister prepares annual reports on significant incidents reported by operators of essential services and substantial incidents reported by digital service providers, being responsible for monitoring the strategic dimension of cybersecurity.

Abstract:

Over the last years, the economic and social structure of enterprises has undergone some important changes, especially because of the introduction of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). ICT is one of the fundamental elements driving the innovation and competitiveness of business activities which greatly influences the development of rural areas, both in economic and social terms. This publication focuses on the analysis and evaluation of the use of ICTs by enterprises in the Lubelskie Voivodeship with particular emphasis on rural areas. In the publication the authors use statistical analyses based on information from surveys conducted among entrepreneurs by the Marshal Office of the Lubelskie Voivodeship. The paper evaluates the following issues: the degree of computerisation of the company, the use of information technology in the company, the activity of the company on the Internet. The main objective of this study is to identify the relationship between the degree of computerisation and the company's innovation-oriented activities and to identify differences between companies located in urban and rural areas. The studies carried out have demonstrated that the differences in the computerisation of enterprises located in rural and urban areas are negligible and that there is a close relationship between the degree of computerisation and innovation in enterprises located in rural areas.

Abstract:

Abstract There is a growing belief that computer-based tools can and should be used to improve quality and productivity. But studies show there is a wide gap between theory and practice. Few investments in computerisation resulted in a measured improvement in profit. Companies have difficulties in integrating technology, organization and people especially when initiating and implementing new computer-based tools for engineering design work. Few studies have simulated social behaviour and used the engineers’ language to understand complex social phenomenon. A question raised in this paper is if a competitive context is more productive than a co-operative context when learning new computer-based tools? The paper discusses theoretical more closely what competition and co-operation does to us and presents the results from modelling and simulation of two individuals/groups that learn new tools in cooperative — compared to competitive — engineering context. When mathematical tools are used, people implicitly assume a great deal of accuracy from the tool. A lot of the criticism when mathematical modelling is used in new areas stem from the fact that the area is to be considered to complex to be analysed with the accuracy expected from mathematical tools. This criticism does not, however, take into account that verbal mental model are nevertheless used which are no more accurate than a mathematical model is. In this paper it is illustrated how learning new tools in co-operative compared to competitive environment is better for productivity. The results show the importance of an external stabilising loop to handle a potentially competitive context and transform it into a co-operative one. Management must handle the looses in a competitive context. Deming supports our results and he wrote that one of the manager’s roles is to understand the benefits of co-operation and the losses from competition between people and between groups. Our simulations show this clearly. Co-operative and competitive systems are defined in mathematical terms. Two kinds of competitive systems are identified; under-critical and over-critical, where the over-critical competitive system is destructive in the sense that it leads to collapse of some of the participants. The presented example shows that simulation can be used to enhance and illuminate the reasoning of organisation and behaviour of groups. Furthermore, it ensures that the reasoning and description is stringent and sharpened because of the fact that it must be translated into mathematical terms. On the other hand it must be emphasised that the result is no more valid than the underlying assumptions, but this is true for all analysis being mathematical or purely verbal.

Abstract:

This work provides an institutional, legal and policy review of crucial aspects of land records modernisation systems in Bihar. The state’s progress with land records modernisation efforts has been historically slow but in the last few years, it has taken long strides in computerisation of land records and associated processes, and is on the way to a more accessible land information system. Bihar is a significant example to understand that in certain parts of India, issues of land and property ownership are embedded in socio-historical conditions, which can be addressed only in part by current modernisation efforts. The state is undertaking an attempt to address some of these issues through a resurvey, supported by large scale strengthening of capacity, and legislative framework. The ability of the state to address multiple claims in a judicious and timebound manner would determine, to a large extent, how successful these ongoing surveys and computerisation initiatives will be.

Full text

Abstract:

This exploratory study set out to evaluate how well a particular course in automotive engineering is set up to enable students to develop skills necessary to enter the workplace. The research set out to identify trends in student expectations and in the needs of employers at a time when this field of work is characterised by disruptive technological developments such as computerisation and automation. The intended outcome of the research is that the findings will assist the critical thinking of course designers as they reflect on modifications that might be necessary for Unitec Bachelor of Applied Technology (BAT) graduate attributes to fully meet future workplace demands. It is also an aim that this exploratory evaluation of a small cohort of students can, despite its limitations, identify trends for future pedagogical research in the ITP (Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics) sector. Although not a full course evaluation, this study invited feedback from students and recent graduates in relevant employment regarding the alignment of the Unitec Bachelor of Applied Technology (BAT) course design with their perceptions of skills necessary in the workplace. Another intention was to highlight any misalignments between the realities of the automotive engineering sector and student expectations of the course: To what degree are work capability expectations in agreement between the student stakeholders and the institution? Are the course goals realistic and in line with actual industry needs? How is the definition of work readiness changing? The paper also samples current speculative thinking about skills that are becoming progressively more important in the workplace, namely the so-called ‘soft skills’ in communication, problem solving, management and collaboration, and in dialogic and creative attributes relevant to increasingly automated and globalised workplaces.
