The large amount of scientific information available nowadays challenges the capacity of students to deal appropriately with it. This may result in a loss of interest on the subject and, thus, create a gap between scientific ideas and the students. In order to avoid this, didactic transposition and interdisciplinary methods might bring in new thoughts on how science education can be improved. In this paper, we discuss the application of those ideas by using Bioinformatics as an example, as it has been an emerging field that is based on interdisciplinary approaches. By improving the teaching of complex ideas and theories, it is possible that the student’s relationship with science, as well as with the educators, may be improved.

Effective Public Service Delivery (PSD) remains a challenging task for Public Sector Management (PSM) in most developing countries. Pakistan has developed its Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and introduced e-governance. However, there remains an increasing gap between government and citizens in context of service delivery. There are number of possible barriers towards successful implementation of e-governance in the country. This paper aims to: Study key contrasts between manual and electronic PSD systems and its association with good governance, decentralisation, and socioeconomic development; Highlight the justification to e-governance and its benefits for the Government of Pakistan (GoP); Identify the key objectives for the GoP to successfully entrench e-governance with all stakeholders; and Identify policy options for the GoP with valued recommendations, which includes institutional and cultural reforms with electronic-Public Service Delivery (e-PSD).

In the last years, supported by the Technical University of Valencia, several MOOC's have been developed with the aim to ease the learning process and expanding the knowledge needed by the students. In this context we introduced at the UPV[X] platform four MOOC's entitled ‘Basic Mathematics: Numbers and Terminology, Derivatives, Integrals and Algebra’ covering basic mathematics topics students need for the first year in the different degrees of engineering. A few months ago UPV became a member of the EdX network and as a consequence the scope of Basic Mathematics courses increased exponentially. This implied a necessary adaptation of the contents, a much more progressive approach and an improvement in the assessment method. In this paper we report the changes made in the process of adaptation to the EdX platform, presenting the results obtained and suggesting improvements in the assessment of the MOOCs. Also an analysis of the opinions of the students is presented.

E-portal systems play a big role in various countries. They can be deployed by governments and organizations to provide information for citizens and customers and serve their transactions. Consequently, e-portals can be considered as systems that increase productivity of staffs and offer more reliable services. However, many issues have to be solved, such as: privacy and security, performance, reliability, effectiveness, and documents integrity and archiving. We postulate that once the knowhow is acquired for designing and developing one e-portal system, it then becomes readily conducted and adopted by others. In this work, we examine one such e-portal system that is the Safeer system that was designed and developed for the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). We believe that this e-portal system could be reconfigured to serve other sectors, such as agriculture, export and import, fisheries, etc. However, before such reconfigurable deployments is possible, it is necessary first to address the shortfalls and gaps that exist in it and could hinder its deployment for other applications. Accordingly, we have examined the Safeer system and identified a possible set of gaps and shortfalls in it. Of these, we have isolated the most three important shortfalls and proposed possible solutions for them. The three shortfalls are: the study plan or the scheduling, the lacking of integrated email server and services, and the lacking of effective integrated archiving system. We believe that the proposed solutions augment the Safeer portal with additional capabilities, and improve its performance, effectiveness, security and privacy, and data and documents integrity; hence, MOHE would be able to license or sell this product. Moreover, we are confident that this work may be of benefit to others in-charge of planning and discharging e-services to their clients. Finally, we conclude this work and establish a set of possible future directions.

In the aftermath of digital revolution the existence of any organisation relies upon its ability to accurately and timely answer questions. With accelerating technological advances, the HOW has been replaced with the WHAT and the WHY. Whereas many business entities struggle to survive in the word of abundance ruled by the fickle needs of their customers, governments have to stay abreast of changes to better serve the public. Despite its complexity, public sector can greatly benefit from the adoption of business intelligence that facilitates indepth analysis and informed decision making. Online services superseding traditional forms of interaction with citizens produce massive amounts of data that are sources of potentially useful information. This paper summarises the main advantages of adopting business intelligence in government driven environment. In fact, it makes valuable points for any organisation enforcing operational transparency and working for the common good.

This study examined the perceived responsibility and concerns about cyberbullying of 1,884 schoolbased speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the United States. Factor analysis of a newly developed scale for SLPs and cyberbullying was conducted. Four factors accounting for 62.4% of the total variance were labeled 1) SLPs’ roles and responsibilities, 2) Schools’ roles and responsibilities, 3) SLPs’ knowledge and confidence, and 4) Student behaviors and responses. Results showed a majority of SLPs reported cyberbullying was problematic; expressed concerns about the negative impact; endorsed schools taking responsibility, leadership and action for activities and assisting victims. In contrast, a minority of SLPs reported confidence in identifying or managing cyberbullying; satisfaction with current continuing education; and any role in addressing cyberbullying in their own treatment sessions. Two groups of SLPs were created based on whether or not students disclosed directly to them any type of bullying incidents, including cyberbullying. Significant differences were found on 9 of the 26 items between the groups. SLPs reporting students disclosing to them about bullying were stronger advocates for involvement in bullying issues. The data should be valuable to pre-service and in-service educators designing training programs. Results should assist school counselors, administrators and leaders implementing effective school-wide cyberbullying initiatives.

The contemporary knowledge society should consist of components based on knowledge, creativity and information. Reaching such level of organizations assumes a priority position of ongoing education as a natural, planned and directed part of life of any organization. Effectiveness of education in organizations is conditioned by a wide range of internal and external factors. The presented study focuses on education evaluation, particularly analysis of possibilities of determining the effectiveness of corporate training. It presents the results of verification of an own methodology SBES (Significance, Benefits, Expectations and Satisfaction), which enables specification of several indicators of corporate training evaluation. The Principal Component Analysis with Varimax rotation was used to extract and specify four factors: Relevance to the profession, Benefits for employees, Employee expectations, Employee satisfaction. The study also describes the specific practical application of this methodology in the context of identification and specification of the differences in evaluation of corporate training between managers and non-managerial workers, and between employees of the private and the public sector. Presented findings support the claim that managers and the public sector employees have a more intense perception of the need, significance and importance of corporate training, which is closely connected to their work, career advancement, higher financial remuneration, and interpersonal relations.

This article is based on a qualitative research conducted during 2012-2013, documenting the process of adjustment to tablet computers by males and females aged 65+. The purpose of the study was to characterize the lifestyle of the population commonly called "the Third Age" regarding the use of touch-screen technology. From an analysis of the data accumulated through ethnographic observations in the homes of the participants and through in-depth interviews with them, a multilayered model emerged, including four dimensions relevant to living with a tablet at the third age: Activity, Learning, Independence, and Barriers. This led to proposing a new model of aging which combines extensive use of devices with integrated touch-screen technology, referred to as "Aging Model 2.0". The research suggests that the use of advanced technology may contribute to a new representation of older adults in society, which, in turn, may lead us to reevaluate our relationship with our parents and grandparents.

Smooth study connection between original and foreign universities or organizations is important for international students who belong to joint degree programs to study well in wholly new environment. In the case of a joint degree program between Japan and Malaysia, the subjects of fundamental mathematical sciences can be obstacles on smooth study connection because Malaysian university students are not necessarily good at ones taught in higher education. First I considered the reason why they were not good at fundamental mathematical sciences. Then I counted how many centers and departments in universities in Japan provided the classes of “Science and Technology Japanese” and / or “Basic Mathematics”, which may be useful for them to overcome fundamental mathematical sciences. It turned out that few sections in universities in Japan provided such classes. Finally I propose that universities in Japan should provide more chances for international students to study such classes, that they should be careful of transferring credits of the classes of fundamental mathematical sciences, and that lecturers in both universities should share information about the contents of the subjects taught in both countries and share the scores of the students.
