An Evaluation of the Nigerian National Information Infrastructure and E-Governance
<p>Nigeria has the fastest growing and most lucrative ICT market in Africa (which fellow emerging economies like South Africa, India, Malaysia and Singapore are making the most of); yet in spite of this significant progress is still being ranked low in e-government provision to its citizens. The need for national information infrastructure cum e-governance framework as a national imperative for a 21st Century Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. National information infrastructure and e-governance policy engineering is important in achieving Vision 2020 and the mission of re-branding and transforming Nigeria. Unless the significance of e-governance is recognized and made the engine room of nation-building, economic and social developments aims in our country may become unattainable. Soonest, intellectual capital, not mineral resources like oil, would be the most strategic and valuable global resource. This paper therefore evaluates and recognizes with great concern that the current national information infrastructure and e-governance readiness framework in Nigeria is grossly inadequate-especially in the areas of National Power Generation and Supply (as the government fixes June 1st as the take-off of new electricity tariff). It highlights the bureaucracies and politics that hamper speedy development of our national information infrastructure and e-governance in comparison to what is obtainable in other evolving economies. The study investigates the limitations and deficiencies of our national information infrastructure and e-governance. The study examines areas of paucities which have contributed to the low e-service delivery in the country despite the success recorded in the country’s ICT and telecommunications sector and finally suggests how this situation may be improved for an enviable national information infrastructure and e-governance as a national imperative for 21st century Nigeria of our dream.</p>
Civil Society Versus Local Self‐Governments and Central Government in V4 Countries: The Case of Co‐Creation
<p>The rersearch concept.</p> <p>NGOs play a key role in all economies. Their activities include, but are not limited to, environmental, social, advocacy and human rights work. They can work to promote social or political change on a broad scale or very locally. NGOs are critical in developing society, improving communities, and promoting citizen participation. At the same time, NGOs are currently faced with multiple challenges like the growing role of the nongovernmental organization (NGOs) sector, the increasing expectations of public donors regarding performance and social and economic value creation, decrease in number of volunteers or the outflow of qualified paid staff from organizations as well as the precarious employment phenomenon among NGOs. Moreover, NGOs struggle with insufficient financial and programming resources and the staff necessary for accessing additional funds, including private capital. Unlike for-profit entities, their financial condition strongly depends on the support of external donors, public aid, or image and the level of trust in their social activities.</p> <p>Entrepreneurial orientation can be a way to face the above challenges, increasing NGOs’ efficiency and effectiveness in fulfilling and co-creating social goals. However, growing entrepreneurial orientation may have some side-effects which need to be examined; perhaps it makes it more difficult to navigate “mission-market tension”; maybe some side-effects are even positive (cf. Vacekova et al. 2017) Although, there is an intense discussion in the literature on entrepreneurial orientation that may affect NGOs’ performance, so far this topic has been poorly empirically verified. The identified gap in the current state of literature concerns mainly institutional conditions (specifics) influencing the entrepreneurial behavior of NGOs and the relationships of entrepreneurial orientation with the performance of NGOs at different aspect of their functioning. It may also appear crucial presently during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus the research gap is twofold: 1) how can entrepreneurial orientation help Polish and Czech NGOs to live through the pandemic; 2) what are the possible longer-term impacts of entrepreneurial orientation. The identified research gap is further radicalized by the major exogenous shock of the Covid-19 pandemic, for three reasons. First, the impacts of the pandemic on NGOs, both inthe Western and Central and Eastern Europe, still remain largely unknown. Second, the political and economic responses to the pandemic all over the globe vary widely depending on the prevalent institutional regimes. This means that the governance implications of the pandemic, in different parts of the world, and within Europe in particular, will widely differ. These differences can be profitably illuminated by historical institutionalist lens, which is uniquely suited for appreciating institutional diversity and heterogeneity (cf. Plaček et al., 2018).</p> <p>In the Czech Republic alone, the applicant had already identified a complex typology of public responses to the pandemic (Plaček and Vacekov. et al., 2021). Third, by bringing numerous individuals into various difficult circumstances, the pandemic heightens the societal significance of NGOs, which have the potential to offer much-needed social services. In the Czech Republic, NGOs and other organizations of the third sector are known to be actively involved in the delivery of such services, often at the cost of experiencing considerable financial stress (seehttps://mapaneziskovek.cz/ and The Czech Satellite Account of Non-Profit Institutions). The Western debates about entrepreneurial orientation are insufficient to fill this research gap for Polish and Czech NGOs. Czech and Polish cases are examined together due to some parallels. Both countries are located in East- and Central Europe and have similar historical identities. Both countries belong to the post-communist countries, which determines the economic and social functioning of non-governmental organizations.</p> <p>The transformation after 1989 also shaped a similar institutional framework for their activities. Poland and the Czech Republic joined the European Union in 2004, significantly changing the reality of non-governmental functioning. Among other things, non-governmental organizations gained access to public funds from structural funds. The financial situation of non-governmental organizations in the Czech Republic and Poland strongly depends on European subsidies. In both countries, non-governmental organizations are characterized by a weaker financial condition compared to Anglo-Saxon countries and developed countries of Western Europe. </p> <p><strong>The research results can be used to make recommendations for public authorities on shaping the institutional environment of non-governmental organizations and for NGO leaders to build entrepreneurial orientation in their organizations and raise awareness of its impact on performance, including co-creating social value with local and central government.</strong></p> <p><strong>We must state that recruiting the focus group par‐ ticipants in Poland and Hungary faced difficulties, as potential participants perceived the topics as politi‐ cally sensitive.</strong></p> <p> </p>

The effects of e-government evaluation, trust and the digital divide in the levels of e-government use in European countries
<p>Despite the significant amounts of public investment devoted to enhancing e-government over the last ten years, citizens’ use of this service is still limited, posing a challenge to national governments. Using a regression analysis applied to panel data derived from 27 European countries for the period from 2010 to 2018, our work confirms that supply-side e-government performance evaluations, the level of citizen trust in the government, income per capita and education are determinants of the level of citizens’ use of e-government. Furthermore, the results of the cluster analysis suggest that, over the study period, in the group of countries with highest e-government use rates, the variables under study exhibit more favourable relative values.</p>

Tourists' perceptions of water quality in Finland, dataset, related to article "Browning of Boreal Lakes: Do Public Perceptions and Governance Meet the Biological Foundations?"
<p>Tourists' perceptions of water quality in Finland, dataset, related to article "Browning of Boreal Lakes: Do Public Perceptions and Governance Meet the Biological Foundations?" by Albrecht et al. (2022).<br> <br> <strong>Article abstract:</strong><br> "Surface water browning, also known as brownification, is an acute environmental issue concerning inland waters. We adopt an interdisciplinary perspective and combine limnology, ecology, environmental law, tourism, and economics to build a theoretical framework to understand the consequences and management needs concerning water browning, generate a research agenda, and pinpoint acute research needs. Using a systematic review approach, we identify gaps of knowledge and address the impacts of browning on lake ecosystem functioning. To support the biological information, we present primary survey data to define the recreational use and public perception of waters in Finland. We identified an urgent need for the development of indicators of brownification beyond EU’s Water Framework Directive (WFD) to be able to balance the costs of browning with terrestrial activities that increase browning. Despite a considerable body of research already exists, there is still a need for better understanding of the biogeochemical processes related to browning to progress towards ecosystem-based management of inland waters. Public perception of the quality of waterbodies in Finland was largely in agreement with the proportion of waterbodies classified to meet the good or excellent ecological status, but recreational fishers may value different aspects of water quality compared to the classification based on WFD. Consequently, to build an interdisciplinary understanding of how browning affects boreal lakes and their uses, we suggest improvements for environmental regulation concerning the impact assessment of terrestrial land use activities and ecosystem-based management of inland waters."</p>

Health records from hospitalized adults with malaria during 2019 at Bo Government Hospital, Sierra Leone
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>We performed a chart review of adults admitted to Bo Government Hospital during 2019. Of 893 admissions,149 (59% female, mean age 58.5 years) had a laboratory diagnosis of malaria and 22 (14.8%) died. Mortality was significantly higher among patients with severe malaria compared with those who had non-severe malaria (6/20 [30%] versus 16/129 [12.4%], <em>p</em>=0.031). Our data suggest that malaria is a common cause of death in hospitalized Sierra Leonean adults. </span></p>

Factors influencing open government data post-adoption in the public sector: The perspective of data providers
Providing access to non-confidential government data to the public is one of the initiatives adopted by many governments today to embrace government transparency practices. The initiative of publishing non-confidential government data for the public to use and re-use without restrictions is known as Open Government Data (OGD). Nevertheless, after several years after its inception, the direction of OGD implementation remains uncertain. The extant literature on OGD adoption concentrates primarily on identifying factors influencing adoption decisions. Yet, studies on the underlying factors influencing OGD after the adoption phase are scarce. Based on these issues, this study investigated the post-adoption of OGD in the public sector, particularly the data provider agencies. The OGD post-adoption framework is crafted by anchoring the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework and the innovation adoption process theory. The data was collected from 266 government agencies in the Malaysian public sector. This study employed the partial least square-structural equation modeling as the statistical technique for factor analysis. The results indicate that two factors from the organizational context (top management support, organizational culture) and two from the technological context (complexity, relative advantage) have a significant contribution to the post-adoption of OGD in the public sector. The contribution of this study is threefold: theoretical, conceptual, and practical. This study contributed theoretically by introducing the post-adoption framework of OGD that comprises the acceptance, routinization, and infusion stages. As the majority of OGD adoption studies conclude their analysis at the adoption (decisions) phase, this study gives novel insight to extend the analysis into unexplored territory, specifically the post-adoption phase. Conceptually, this study presents two new factors in the environmental context to be explored in the OGD adoption study, namely, the data demand and incentives. The fact that data providers are not influenced by data requests from the agency's external environment and incentive offerings is something that needs further investigation. In practicality, the findings of this study are anticipated to assist policymakers in strategizing for long-term OGD implementation from the data provider's perspective. This effort is crucial to ensure that the OGD initiatives will be incorporated into the public sector's service thrust and become one of the digital government services provided to the citizen.
Genetic insights into the age-specific biological mechanisms governing human ovarian ageing
<p>There is currently little evidence that the genetic basis of human phenotype varies significantly across the lifespan. However, time-to-event phenotypes are understudied and can be thought of as reflecting an underlying hazard, which is unlikely to be constant through life when values take a broad range. Here, we find that 74% of 245 genome-wide significant genetic associations with age at natural menopause (ANM) in the UK Biobank show a form of age-specific effect. Nineteen of these replicated discoveries are identified only by our modelling framework, which determines the time-dependency of DNA variant-age-at-onset associations, without a significant multiple-testing burden. Across the range of early to late menopause, we find evidence for significantly different underlying biological pathways, changes in the sign of genetic correlations of ANM to health indicators and outcomes, and differences in inferred causal relationships. We find that DNA damage response processes only act to shape ovarian reserve and depletion for women of early ANM. Genetically mediated delays in ANM were associated with increased relative risk of breast cancer and leiomyoma at all ages, and with high cholesterol and heart failure for late-ANM women. These findings suggest that a better understanding of the age-dependency of genetic risk factor relationships among health indicators and outcomes is achievable through appropriate statistical modelling of large-scale biobank data.</p>
