Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Ultrasound reports are developed in different ways by clinicians and radiologists. These variations in reporting style, content and format could impact on the value of the report and the way it is interpreted, which in turn have implications on patient management and decision making. There are many reasons for the poor success rate of some reporting systems which is usually down to poor adaptability and the main one being the human factor. In this paper, we present a system architecture model for a proposed medical ultrasound reporting system that attempt to address some of these problems. In this system, we propose a solution where humans will not need to adapt to the system, instead the system acknowledge the various styles, contents and format being produced by the humans and uses an ontology to standardise the terminology and Natural Language Processing techniques to transform free text reports to the preferred proposed model of a structured and standardised report.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Marketing and more specifically raising brand awareness is vital for any successful organisation and its importance is demonstrated across all industry sectors. The widely adopted social media (SM) technology is believed to bring opportunities for brand awareness; and many universities worldwide have already broached the concept of using SM to communicate with potential students. However, the social media arena is deemed by many HEIs as frivolous, and the significance of SM is yet widely realised. This research will look at the power behind social media technology; the main focus is to explore whether the utilisation of SM technology could increase the brand awareness. In order to achieve this research aim exhaustive literature search was conducted and the available literature is systematically reviewed. The research found that although SM platforms have been exploited by most of institutions, there is little evidence to suggest that higher education is currently using social media effectively to engage with students, increase brand awareness and enhance image.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Electronic medical records (EMR) offer much potential. However, various problems have made the widespread use of EMR an unachieved reality (West and Blake, 2009). The problems reached such levels that in some countries, the transition from paper to electronic version has slowed down, if not stopped. For example, the U.K. NHS abandoned some of its ambitious plans for full transition from paper to electronic medical records (Daily Mail, 2011 Aug 03). In other countries, like Saudi Arabia, some started questioning the wisdom of electronic systems, and seek new methods of implementations, that do away from the previous mistakes. To address these issues, one needs to discover what went wrong. The myriads of issues involved, is proving rather complex, needing a sophisticated approach to expose them. Ahmad (2012) has explored an approach called Down-To-Earth (DTE) which provides a rich picture of information systems (IS) use. This paper adopts Ahmad approach to gain a richer picture of medical records. The DTE approach is based on what is called Dooyeweerd's aspects, which is a set of distinct ways in which things like medical records function and are meaningful. The main aim of this paper is to explore the potential of the Down To Earth approach with Dooyeweerd's aspects as a way to better understanding health-care giver behaviour with medical records, as a prelude to discussing how to effect more appropriate transition to EMR. By health-care giver we include: physician, nurse, technician and administration.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
This paper describes a case study of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation in a public-private partnership organisation. The primary focus of the study is to explore, from a holistic view, how Return On Investment (ROI) can be achieved through effective management of roles and responsibilities in an ERP implementation context. The paper starts with an introduction, which includes highlights from the literature indicating the significance of roles and responsibilities management among various ERP stakeholders. The introduction is followed by a brief description of the research methodology used, and then followed by a description of the chosen case study for this paper. The case is then analysed with more focus on how roles and responsibilities among ERP stakeholders interrelate with the implementation outcomes. A separate section is dedicated to extracting appropriate lessons that improve ROI from ERP investment. The findings from the case are assessed through the literature and a published case study that is addressed to ERP stakeholders. The result of discussing the case findings will be presented in a new version of the management framework for the stakeholder’s roles and responsibilities in the context of ERP.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Social network analysis has received much attention across disciplines. Recently, historians have begun to complicate their understanding of networks and are increasingly using visualisation to elucidate tangible and intangible information in their data sets. Current approaches make use of static social network analysis and whilst they provide a number of tools to explore a social network, they are unable to provide temporal analysis. This paper presents Matrixify, a practical visual application for the exploratory temporal analysis of social networks for historians and others not familiar with visual representations of data. This approach aims to deconstruct the complexity of social networks to provide a temporal analysis to answer a key problem in historical studies, that of ‘analysis of change over time’. In this way, historians are able to identify real relationships in their data sets; actors in contact at a particular point in time and shown over time. The case study presented in this paper demonstrates the applicability of the approach in inter-disciplinary studies.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
This paper describes an experiment and its results concerning research that has been going on for a number of years in the area of anthropomorphic user interface feedback. The main aims of the research have been to examine the effectiveness and user satisfaction of anthropomorphic feedback. The results are useful to all user interface designers wishing to improve the usability of their products. There is still disagreement in the research community concerning the usefulness of anthropomorphism at the user interface. This research is contributing knowledge to the aim of discovering whether such approaches are effective and liked by users. The experiment described in this paper, concerns the context of statistics tutoring/revision, which is part of the domain of software for in-depth learning. Anthropomorphic feedback was compared against an equivalent non-anthropomorphic feedback. The results indicated the anthropomorphic feedback to be preferred by users for some factors. However the evidence for effectiveness was inconclusive.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Various researchers around the world have been investigating the use of anthropomorphism in some form at the user interface. Some key issues involve determining whether such a medium is effective and liked by users. Discovering conclusive evidence in relation to this medium would help user interface designers produce better user interfaces. Currently conclusive evidence is lacking. However the authors of this paper have been investigating these issues for some time and this paper presents the results of an experiment which tested anthropomorphic voices against neutral voices. This was in the context of telephone bidding. The results indicated the impersonal human voice condition to foster higher bids, while the user satisfaction was inconclusive across all four conditions tested. The results have also been examined in terms of the Theory of Affordances with the aim of finding an explanation for the observed results. The results indicate that issues of affordances played a part in the results observed.

The main aims of the research have been to examine the effectiveness and user satisfaction of anthropomorphic feedback. The results are of use to all user interface designers. Currently the work in the area of anthropomorphic feedback does not have any global conclusions concerning its effectiveness and user satisfaction capabilities. This research is investigating finding a way for reaching some global conclusions concerning this type of feedback. This experiment, concerned the context of downloading, installing and configuring an email client which is part of the domain of software for systems usage. Anthropomorphic feedback was compared against an equivalent non-anthropomorphic feedback. The results indicated the anthropomorphic feedback to be more effective and preferred by users. It was also the aim to examine the types of feedback in relation to Affordances. The results obtained can be explained in terms of the Theory of Affordances.
