E-Governance: A Key to Good Governance in Cambodia

The paper examined E-Governance, a key to good governance in Cambodia by focusing on the evolution and the barrier progresses of E-Governance in Cambodia. It employed deductive and exploratory approaches along with some interviews with key informants to ensure the impediments in adoptions and implementation of E-Governance in Cambodia. The findings indicated that E-Governance involves people, processes, and results in SMARTER from using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) at various levels of the government and other institutions for the purpose of enhancing governance by improving the accountability, transparency, participation, efficiency, and effectiveness of both public and private sectors. The results from the reviews, documents, interviews, and discussions suggested that it be clear the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has achieved certain developments in ICTs though there were some challenges in which effective strategies and actions should be considered to enhance the efficiency of ICTs application as well as implementation of E-Governance in Cambodia.

Biomechanical Stability of Four Fixation Constructs for Distal Radius Fractures

Implants available for distal radius fracture fixation include dorsal nonlocked plating (DNLP), volar locked plating (VLP), radial–ulnar dual-column locked plating (DCPs), and locked intramedullary fixation (IMN). This study examines the biomechanical properties of these four different fixation constructs. In 28 fresh-frozen radii, a wedge osteotomy was performed, creating an unstable fracture model and the four fixation constructs employed (DNLP, VLP, DCPs, and IMN). Dorsal bending loads were applied and bending stiffness, load to yield 5 mm displacement, and ultimate failure were measured. Bending stiffness for VLP (16.7 N/mm) was significantly higher than for DNLP (6.8 N/mm), while IMN (12.6 N/mm) and DCPs (11.8 N/mm) were similar. Ultimate load to failure occurred at 278.2 N for the VLP, 245.7 N for the IMN, and 52.0 N for the DNLP. The VLP was significantly stronger than the DNLP and DCPs, and the IMN and DCPs were stronger than the DNLP. The VLP has higher average bending stiffness, ultimate bending strength, and resistance to 5 mm displacement than the other constructs and significantly higher ultimate bending strength than the DCPs and DNLP. There was no statistically significant difference between the VLP and IMN. VLP and IMN fixation of distal radius fractures can achieve comparable stability
