MISPLACED RESOURCES? FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH COMPUTER LITERACY AMONG END-USERS

Some organizations provide a support infrastructure (e.g., information centers, on-line help) and training (e.g., vendor-supplied, one-on-one) to assist end-users and boost the computer literacy of their workforce. In this paper, we explore the efficacy of a support infrastructure, training, and various computer configurations for enhancing the computer literacy of work groups. Data come from a multi-year (1987 to 1989) study of seventy-seven computer-using work groups in the southern California area, which included two interviews with managers and two questionnaires distributed to workers. Analyses showed that none of the measures of training were associated with computer literacy. Only one kind of infrastructure support, obtaining information from a resident expert in the work group, was related to computer literacy. In contrast, many aspects of the configuration of the computer systems were associated with computer literacy. Implications of these provocative findings for the management of end-user computing are discussed

Porównanie możliwości wykorzystania oraz analiza wydajności baz danych na systemach mobilnych

This publication presents chosen forms of data persistence such as: Local Storage, Shared Preferences, flat files and SQLite in the context of two widely used mobile operating systems – Android and Windows Mobile. It also describes ways to connect to external database engines such as Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL or MySQL and tries to answer the question which one of these data persistence forms makes the most sense and when. The arguments are based on performance tests that all of the described solutions were participants of.Artykuł przedstawia wybrane formy składowania danych tj. Local Storage, Shared Preferences, pliki płaskie oraz SQLite w kontekście dwóch systemów mobilnych – Android oraz Windows Mobile. Opisuje on również sposoby, poprzez które możliwe jest połączenie z zewnętrznymi systemami bazodanowymi takimi jak Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL czy MySQL i stara się odpowiedzieć na pytanie, użycie której z tych opcji ma największy sens w poszczególnych przypadkach. Całość argumentuje badaniami wydajności, którym poddane zostały wszystkie z wymienionych opcji.&nbsp

Dangerous work: The gendered nature of bullying in the context of higher education

This paper discusses results from a research project which set out to investigate gender differences in the nature and experience of bullying within the higher education sector. Gender differences emerged in the form and perception of bullying as well as in target response. Results also indicate that, irrespective of gender, bullies can capture and subvert organizational structures and procedures (official hierarchies, mentoring systems, probationary reviews) to further their abuse of the target and to conceal aggressive intent. These outcomes are discussed in relation to gendered assumptions behind management practices and in relation to the masculinist ethic that underpins many higher education management initiatives. Overall, results indicate that bullying cannot be divorced from gender and that such behaviour needs to be seen in a gendered context
