Information security culture is recognised as having an influence towards end-user compliance towards information security controls and policies in the organisation. Literature agrees that cultural beliefs can be found to influence behaviours among members of a profession that distinguish them in the organisational system and profession that they belong to. Therefore, these phenomena led towards the investigation and understanding of factors influencing information security culture in healthcare organisations. A qualitative approach has been conducted to evaluate the proposed conceptual model that hinges on Systematic Literature Review (SLR), organisational culture characteristics and Health Belief Model (HBM). A semi-structured interview has been conducted with 19 healthcare professionals. Twelve themes found to be the factors that may influence information security culture in health informatics environment. The study outcomes may contribute towards the design of an appropriate Information Security Management System (ISMS) for establishing information security culture in healthcare organisations.

E-learning service quality able to show the success of the delivery and design of the system by understanding the users' preferences. Moreover, the distinction between learning content and website content need to be parallel whereby both will influence each other and affect users' perception and satisfaction. After the study has concluded, concern arises on how the factors of E-learning in service quality affect the quality of e-learning system in education. Moreover, knowing that user is a pillar of e-learning system, this research intended to find out whether the user satisfaction has any influence on e-learning system quality. System design, system delivery and system outcome been used as a platform for measuring the success of e-learning system. Three influencing factors have been chosen as attributes in collecting data through the survey; User Satisfaction, System Quality, and Information Quality. Results from the analysis have shown that respondents from Al Madinah University were satisfied with the student portal site.

In public sectors, the trend of using electronic information sharing has transformed the traditional ways of information sharing either vertically or horizontally. The horizontal functioning of information sharing means sharing information within same level of organization such as sharing information between local governments. The vertical functioning of information sharing means sharing information with different level of organization (Jing, Pengzhu, & Yen, 2014). The electronic ways undoubtedly can expedite processes thus enhancing services and decision makings in public sectors including universities' environment. Yemen Center Information Technology-higher education (YCIT-HE) plays a significant role in sharing information regarding ministry's requirements with public universities in the Republic of Yemen. With some barriers and challenges, an electronic information sharing is a way of transforming the delivery mechanism to provide relevant information in a faster way. A study was conducted to propose a theoretical framework to help and increase the participation of electronic information sharing between YCIT-HE and universities. A questionnaire was designed to examine the hypothesis for each factor. This paper shares the results of a pilot study that was done twice in ensuring the reliability occurs.

In recent years, the complexity and scale of governance, risk and compliance has grown significantly due to globalization and there is a need for institutions to consult multiple standards and frameworks to address a heterogeneous and highly regulated environment. Even with the advent of Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) systems, there is a need to reduce redundancy and amount of work to the organization and thus the need for semantic interoperability in a multi-faceted compliance management environment. In this paper, we present the enhancement and population of a compliance ontology thru the use of information extraction where the information is acquired from an existing GRC system (Eramba) to facilitate semantic interoperability to reduce the complexity and redundant activities performed in compliance monitoring for an enterprise.

This research aims to analyse factors that influence behaviours of users in sharing of information on GO-JEK, an online mobile transportation company, in its social media such as Facebook or Twitter. These influencing factors are analysed based on the perspective of attachment theory and cognitive evaluation theory. Data were analysed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The result of this study is social interaction and self-efficacy are the factors that significantly influence someone's attachment on social media. Likewise, identity-based and bond-based attachment significantly influence in encouraging someone's behaviour to do information sharing activities on social media.

The paradigm shift in construction cost estimation is attributed to technological innovations in the spheres of building information modelling (BIM) and industrialised building systems (IBS). Majority of construction projects experience cost overruns which affect project objectives. The outcome of cost overruns invariably leads to disputes and further delays. Similarly, cost estimators resistance to overcoming the inertia to leap from traditional estimation methods to advanced methods further exacerbates the issues of cost estimation. This paper aims at comparing cost estimate between traditional cost estimation and advanced cost estimation. Data was collected via questionnaire from registered quantity surveying companies with the Board of Quantity Surveying Malaysia (BQSM). Subsequently, real time simulation was carried out on a sample IBS project using Autodesk Revit and Navisworks to compare cost estimates. The results revealed that BIM is accurate than bill of quantity (BOQ) as this difference results in a critical factor for large construction projects. The study was limited in terms of cost standard and database in Autodesk Navisworks. Future research can improve on the quantity coding for BIM in Malaysia.

Preventing diabetes at the prediabetes stage is a crucial step to take as the damages done by diabetes is non-reversible. In the recent years, the number of diabetics has been increasing tremendously, which is predominantly due to unhealthy lifestyle and diet. To prevent diabetes, human behaviour needs to be altered: a new positive habit should replace an old habit. Self-care applications have great potential in fostering diabetes prevention. However, existing solutions mostly do not follow clinical guidelines, do not incorporate user expectations, are aimed to deliver a specific functionality (such as weight management), are not designed based on behavioural change theories, and therefore they are not designed for long term use. Integrating health behavioural change theories and the prediabetics' requirements into the development of self-care applications can empower consumers to better care of their own health. In this paper, we propose a prediabetes self-care application design framework, which incorporates behavioural change theories, and meets requirements of prediabetics. The framework was validated by a pool of health-related experts from various fields. Results indicate that the framework comprised necessary functions that would enable prediabetes to prevent diabetes. The framework would aid developers to design novel prediabetes applications that would enable users to take greater responsibility towards their health, which in return helps to save medical cost.

Researches on service systems have been conducted for more than a decade, resulting in concepts and knowledge of the service system. These lead to the intention of the organizations to create a service system that is able to provide service value. As the service sector grows, the organizations are required to be able to develop such a service system that gives benefits to the organizations and has an impact on performance improvement. Therefore, the organizations need a practical understanding of building service systems in the real world. This paper proposes a comprehensive and systematic framework for service systems engineering that can help organizations in developing and building the service systems. The framework elaborates two major engineering methodologies, which are service engineering and systems engineering methodology. This framework was developed through the application of systems engineering life cycle and principles into the service engineering. The result of this study can provide systematic guidance in building service systems.

Noteworthy research gap are being perceived on Knowledge Management (KM) in the outlook of Disaster Recovery (DR) in Information Technology (IT) organizations. Preliminary interviews with the organization implied that the organization facing two main challenges in the context of DR, namely (i) DR information hosted in various knowledge repositories, and (ii) lesson learn capturing is being done after the DR test completion and unavailability of centralized lesson learn or best practice document for quick reference. We found that organization can benefit from the inclusion of KM concept within the process improvement to support its Disaster Recovery activities. This research is an action research to improve DR process in a multinational company in Malaysia. Mixed method approach will be used as to obtain some variation in data collection which will lead to greater validity. Our aim is to fill the theoretical gap in KM for DR in IT organizations. This paper presents the result of the first stage in canonical action research which is Problem Diagnosis. The proposition of this research is that an improvised process can successfully support disaster recovery activities in IT organizations.

As median income rises in Bangladesh, so too does the number of people who own cars. Bangladesh as a nation does not have the resources to maintain the infrastructure for this steadily increasing number of cars hitting the streets. The result is that key intersections are frequently gridlocked causing horrendous traffic jams. This paper introduces rTraffic - a smartphone based web application that aims at making this issue a little more bearable by combining a crowd-sourced data acquisition model and real-time notifications system that suggests users on which routes to take and which routes to avoid. The paper will also discuss about the basic methodology, low-level implementation details and scaling factor considerations for real world deployment and performance benchmarks.
