Globalisation is one of the key terms used to describe actual trends as positive, but there are many aspects of this concept that should be carefully considered, such as people's cultural identity. Africa is one of the most diverse and culturally rich continents in the world, something that is not widely known. Heritage is one of the building blocks of cohesion and solidarity of the society and in addition is one of the national resources that can contribute in the gross national income. It is acting as ambassador of the country and at the same time enriching the international community with new instances of culture. The present document describes a proposal in order to establish digital humanities curricula in the African continent and preserve, manage and exploit African Culture. The paper includes the description of the role of communication methodologies and formats enabled and empowered by information.
全球化是用来描述实际趋势为积极的关键术语之一,但这个概念有许多方面应该仔细考虑,比如人们的文化认同。非洲是世界上最多样化、文化最丰富的大陆之一,这一点并不广为人知。遗产是社会凝聚力和团结的基石之一,也是可以贡献国民总收入的国家资源之一。它既是国家的大使,同时又以新的文化实例丰富了国际社会。本文件描述了一项建议,目的是在非洲大陆建立数字人文课程,并保护、管理和利用非洲文化。本文包括对信息所支持和授权的通信方法和格式的作用的描述。

In an effort to examine the heart condition, electrodes of Electrocardiogram (ECG) machine are placed on the skin of the patient thereby detecting depolarization and repolarisation of the myocardium which is the muscular tissue of the heart. The readings are therefore displayed on an electrocardiograph. It is therefore important to note that there is a technical limitation in obtaining readings in the sense that upon movement of the patient, the equipment equally moves hence artefact making interpretation difficult. This paper is therefore trying to eliminate the stated technical problem by designing a low cost solution incorporating an instrumentation amplifier with high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and the biomedical signal is transmitted from the patient in a remote hospital to the heart specialist for analysis using TV White Spaces network.
为了检查心脏状况,将心电图(ECG)机的电极放置在患者的皮肤上,从而检测心脏肌肉组织心肌的去极化和复极化。读数因此显示在心电图仪上。因此,重要的是要注意,在获得读数的意义上存在技术限制,即在患者移动时,设备也会移动,因此人工制品使解释变得困难。因此,本文试图通过设计一种低成本的解决方案来消除上述技术问题,该解决方案结合了具有高共模抑制比(CMRR)的仪器放大器,并将生物医学信号从远程医院的患者传输给心脏专家,以便使用电视空白网络进行分析。

This paper introduces a classification scheme for the visual classification of cyber attacks. Through the use of the scheme, the impact of various cyber attacks throughout the history of South Africa are investigated and classified. The goal of this paper is to introduce a classification scheme that arranges attacks into different classes and sub-classes, which is presented visually. To enhance the visual description, each class has a maximum of three sub-classes, which can overlap. This classification scheme helps to show the diverse impacts of cyber attacks in South Africa. This method of classification can be used for the assessment of any cyber attack and to find similarities between attacks.
介绍了一种针对网络攻击的视觉分类方案。通过使用该方案,调查和分类了南非历史上各种网络攻击的影响。本文的目标是引入一种分类方案,将攻击分为不同的类和子类,并以可视化的方式呈现。为了增强视觉描述,每个类最多有三个子类,这些子类可以重叠。这个分类方案有助于显示南非网络攻击的不同影响。这种分类方法可以用于评估任何网络攻击,并找到攻击之间的相似性。

In this paper, we investigate the major trade-offs that relates to the energy efficiency in cognitive radio networks. We address five main trade-offs (QoS, network architecture, primary user interference, fairness and security) that are vital since they affect all the components of cognitive radio network's operability, design and implementation. The relationship between these trade-offs and how they affect each other is investigated. How to bring about higher energy efficiency while satisfying the different actors and elements in a cognitive radio network is also studied.
在本文中,我们研究了认知无线电网络中与能源效率相关的主要权衡。我们解决了五个主要的权衡(QoS,网络架构,主要用户干扰,公平性和安全性),这是至关重要的,因为它们影响认知无线网络的可操作性,设计和实现的所有组件。研究了这些权衡之间的关系以及它们如何相互影响。研究了如何在满足认知无线网络中不同行为者和要素的同时,实现更高的能量效率。

Promoting savings among low income earners in Kenya through mobile money 通过移动货币促进肯尼亚低收入者的储蓄
Pub Date : 2016-05-11 DOI: 10.1109/ISTAFRICA.2016.7530699

With most households in rural Kenya dependent on meagre wages from manual labor, the task of balancing immediate family needs with long-term financial goals is usually a difficult task, which in most cases leave families with minimal or no savings. This paper articulates a study to investigate the potential of using mobile money accounts as a money management platform that can help promote a savings culture as well as establish and nurture financial discipline among poor households in Kenya. Based on the premises that 41% of Kenyans do not save regularly because they do not have “enough money to live on let alone save for a rainy day”, the study examined innovative ways in which poor households could use mobile money accounts as a tool for financial inclusion, achieving household financial security, and enhancing family role performance. The study took place in Nairobi's Mathare slum. It aimed to understand, in depth, mobile money savings accounts usage among poor households. Key informants were low income traders, who earns a daily income of less than two dollars (about 200 Kenya Shillings). Data was collected using a questionnaire, informal conversations and contextual interviews and supplemented by in-depth interviews with managers from a leading mobile money service provider and the mobile money provider commercial banks. The study results indicates that lack of awareness on the available and affordable mobile money savings products, low interest rates on mobile money fixed deposit savings accounts and high transaction costs when making mobile money payments impacts negatively on mobile money fixed deposit savings accounts usage while availability of microcredit on mobile money savings accounts has a positive effect on the usage. The study provides policy and technology design recommendations that could aid in mobile money lock savings accounts acceptance.
由于肯尼亚农村的大多数家庭依赖于体力劳动的微薄工资,平衡家庭的直接需求和长期财务目标通常是一项艰巨的任务,在大多数情况下,家庭只有很少的储蓄或没有储蓄。本文阐述了一项研究,旨在调查使用移动货币账户作为资金管理平台的潜力,该平台可以帮助促进储蓄文化,并在肯尼亚贫困家庭中建立和培养财务纪律。基于41%的肯尼亚人没有定期储蓄的前提,因为他们“没有足够的钱生活,更不用说未雨绸缪了”,该研究考察了贫困家庭使用移动货币账户作为金融包容性工具的创新方式,实现家庭财务安全,提高家庭角色绩效。这项研究在内罗毕的Mathare贫民窟进行。它旨在深入了解贫困家庭中移动货币储蓄账户的使用情况。主要的线人是低收入的商人,他们每天的收入不到2美元(约200肯尼亚先令)。数据通过问卷调查、非正式对话和情境访谈收集,并辅以对一家领先的移动货币服务提供商和移动货币提供商商业银行经理的深度访谈。研究结果表明,缺乏对可用和负担得起的移动货币储蓄产品的认识,移动货币定期储蓄账户的低利率以及移动货币支付时的高交易成本对移动货币定期储蓄账户的使用产生了负面影响,而移动货币储蓄账户小额信贷的可用性对使用产生了积极影响。该研究提供了政策和技术设计建议,可以帮助移动货币锁定储蓄账户的接受度。

The need to encourage citizens' adoption of e-government services has led to an increasing interest in the evaluation of e-government websites. The success of e-government websites depends on how well it is perceived by the end-users. User experience of e-government websites is considered one of important factors affecting the success or failure of e-government websites. However, researchers have focused on infrastructure issues not giving user experience of websites attention as one of the factors affect usage of government services. Focusing on the three high levels of UX components namely user internal state, the characteristic of the system and context and using hedonic/pragmatic quality model to measure the user experience. This study evaluated e-government websites UX from public value perspective. iTax website in Kenya was used as a case study. Findings are discussed with reference to previous research and recommendations for practice. Finally, further research works are offered.
为了鼓励市民采用电子政府服务,人们对电子政府网站的评估越来越感兴趣。电子政务网站的成功取决于最终用户对它的看法。电子政务网站的用户体验被认为是影响电子政务网站成败的重要因素之一。然而,研究人员将基础设施问题作为影响政府服务使用的因素之一,并没有给予网站用户体验的关注。关注用户内部状态、系统特征和环境三个高层次的用户体验组件,并使用享乐/实用质量模型来衡量用户体验。本研究从公众价值的角度来评估电子政务网站的用户体验。肯尼亚的iTax网站被用作案例研究。研究结果与以往的研究结果进行了讨论,并提出了实践建议。最后,提出了进一步的研究工作。

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of how a digital health innovation ecosystem was conceptualised and validated for South Africa. Largely, we focus on defining strategies to build Digital Health Innovation Ecosystems in the context of developing countries, and pay particular attention to the challenges and potentials. Over a period of two years the conceptualisation was done by applying Design research as a methodology and the validation through two cycles of expert review feedback in order to improve the artifact. The conceptual digital health innovation ecosystem for South Africa portrays the inputs from research experts and practitioners in South Africa, Africa and Europe working in the Health domain. Feedback indicated that the conceptual digital health innovation ecosystem for South Africa is a good reflection of the realities of developing contexts where all role players and systems are indicated that affect digital health. This conceptualisation allows for the positioning of sub innovation ecosystems and related new products through applying an open innovation life cycle to improve the quality of life of ordinary citizens.
本文的目的是概述如何为南非概念化和验证数字健康创新生态系统。在很大程度上,我们侧重于制定战略,在发展中国家的背景下建立数字健康创新生态系统,并特别关注挑战和潜力。在两年的时间里,概念化是通过将设计研究作为一种方法来完成的,并通过专家评审反馈的两个周期进行验证,以改进工件。南非概念性数字卫生创新生态系统描绘了南非、非洲和欧洲在卫生领域工作的研究专家和从业人员的投入。反馈表明,南非概念性数字卫生创新生态系统很好地反映了发展中国家的现实情况,其中指出了影响数字卫生的所有角色参与者和系统。这一概念允许子创新生态系统和相关新产品的定位,通过应用开放的创新生命周期来提高普通公民的生活质量。

The South African (SA) National Research and Education Network (NREN) identified the requirement for a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT). This paper sets the context for the CSIRT by exploring the business requirements and associated decisions in five areas: the environment, constituency, authority, funding and legal considerations. The SA NREN CSIRT was categorised as an academic sector CSIRT serving the research and education community of South Africa with limited authority. The NREN is comprised of two organisations and the corresponding embedded, but distributed, organisational model makes this CSIRT case particularly interesting. Various cost recovery options and relevant South African laws and regulations were also identified. The resulting “strategic” framework sets the scene for the remainder of the establishment process. This paper is useful to anyone desiring to establish a CSIRT, or equivalent capability, who can follow a similar process to discover where to begin.
南非(SA)国家研究和教育网(NREN)确定了对计算机安全事件响应小组(CSIRT)的需求。本文通过探索五个领域的业务需求和相关决策来为CSIRT设置上下文:环境、选民、权威、资金和法律考虑。SA NREN CSIRT被归类为一个学术部门CSIRT,服务于南非的研究和教育界,权力有限。NREN由两个组织和相应的嵌入式但分布式的组织模型组成,这使得CSIRT案例特别有趣。还确定了各种费用回收办法和有关的南非法律和条例。由此产生的“战略”框架为建立过程的其余部分奠定了基础。本文对希望建立CSIRT或同等能力的任何人都很有用,他们可以遵循类似的过程来发现从哪里开始。

Information Technology (IT) has become an integral part of conducting business within organizations including local government. Local government depends heavily on the use of IT to achieve its goals and objectives. The use of IT poses a number of risks within local government. Thus it is important for IT to be governed adequately. Core to the governance of IT is the process of risk management. To conduct effective risk management, an adequate risk assessment must be conducted within its given context. The Auditor General identified lack of adequate risk assessments within local government in South Africa. The objective of this paper is to propose an automated scenario-based IT risk assessment process model for local government to improve risk assessment. The research study followed a design-oriented IS research approach to devise and revise the process model.
信息技术(IT)已经成为包括地方政府在内的组织开展业务的一个组成部分。地方政府在很大程度上依赖于使用信息技术来实现其目标。IT的使用给地方政府带来了许多风险。因此,对it进行充分的治理非常重要。IT治理的核心是风险管理过程。为了进行有效的风险管理,必须在给定的环境中进行适当的风险评估。审计长指出,南非地方政府内部缺乏充分的风险评估。本文的目的是为地方政府提供一个基于场景的自动化IT风险评估流程模型,以改进风险评估。本研究采用面向设计的信息系统研究方法,设计并修正过程模型。

Water is a scarce and valuable resource hence proper management of this resource is essential for social and economic development of any country because it is an input to almost all production in key sectors like Agriculture, Industry, Energy and Transport. Smart devices have transformed nearly every aspect of our home and this paper is presenting a practical low-cost Smart Water Meter Device which is capable of determining possible leakages in the customer's property and reporting current household water consumption levels in real time. Flow meter sensors have been deployed to measure the quantity of water consumer by a consumer. In turn, the flow rates and the amount of litres consumed will be displayed on the LCD display and they will also be sent through the GSM/GPRS module to the website. The system has been efficiently and carefully designed to minimise commercial losses.
水是一种稀缺和宝贵的资源,因此对这种资源的适当管理对任何国家的社会和经济发展都至关重要,因为它是农业、工业、能源和运输等关键部门几乎所有生产的投入。智能设备几乎改变了我们家庭的方方面面,本文介绍了一种实用的低成本智能水表设备,它能够确定客户财产中可能存在的泄漏,并实时报告当前家庭用水水平。已部署流量传感器,以测量用户的用水量。然后,流量和消耗的升数将显示在液晶显示屏上,它们也将通过GSM/GPRS模块发送到网站上。该系统经过高效和精心设计,以尽量减少商业损失。
