“…The concentrate likewise demonstrated that the impact of expertise and involvement with the globalized therapeutic framework on the reception of cloud structure has interceded through the effect of handiness and convenience. This recommends being open to a noteworthy level of involvement and more propelled elements of the globalized therapeutic framework will be both happy utilizing it for learning and see the advantages it offers in supporting their field of restorative calling by ICT aptitude (Kunda et al, 2018). It was found that with open skillful fundamental media clients will probably receive medicinal awareness.…”

The study considers the perception of medical errors and media awareness. This study identifies the effectiveness of the television media intervention in creating awareness on medical malpractices and it has find out the impact of maintaining medical records of a family online by the family doctor in reducing medical malpractices. This creates the importance of service quality in medical industry through the multilayer perceptron. At first, a substantial arrangement of components is figured out on each of the therapeutic mistake perceptions and media awareness. One inquiry of interest is how a multilayer perceptron (MLP) does handle such pointless inputs? The leftmost box plot shows, for cases that have observed awareness strongly disagree, the predicted pseudo-probability of category strongly disagree. The media awareness has been demonstrated observationally to be both predictable and valuable. MLP was used for data analysis.

“…While this could easily be done, the COVID-19 context which prompted institutional closures called for rethinking of the ways in which ICT hardware could be provided to students while they studied at home. Similarly, Kunda et al (2018) conclude that lack of adequate internet bandwidth, hardware (in terms of computers for both lecturers and students), and appropriate ICT infrastructure are the major barriers to assimilating ICTs in research and teaching in Zambian Higher Education. These challenges were also revealed in a…”

An unprecedented amount of disruption to life in general and higher education in particular resulted from the unexpected onset of the Coronavirus pandemic in late 2019. In Zimbabwe, cases of infection and the first victim of the pandemic were reported when the first semester of the 2020 academic year had just started in March. There is paucity of literature, at the time of writing this article, on Zimbabwe higher education students’ experiences of COVID-19 induced online education. To fill this lacuna, this article explored the effects of COVID-19 on higher education, with special focus on Family and Religious Studies (FRS) final year students at Great Zimbabwe University (GZU). The aim was to explore level 4.2 FRS students’ experiences when they were suddenly confronted with a COVID-19 induced online education. Adopting a qualitative research design where online interviews and a questionnaire were carried out with a sample of 20 male and 22 female students, we collected the students’ experiences of the COVID-19 induced online education in the teaching and learning of FRS online, identified the students’ coping strategies in dealing with COVID-19 induced online education, and solicited from the students their recommendations for a user-friendly online education. Employing the Just-In-Time Learning theory as the lens to analyse data, the students revealed that COVID-19 has had both negative and positive impacts on higher education in a developing country set up. We argue that while students and lecturers were confronted with numerous challenges in embracing COVID-19 induced-online education, they equally benefitted from the undertaking. We recommend that the University provides an enabling online teaching and learning environment and should prioritise robust training of academic staff and students on the use of online teaching and learning platforms.

“…Information and Communication (ICT) infrastructure investment in emerging countries still lags behind. Kunda et al (2019) gathered evidence from both public and private higher education institutions in Zambia to investigate factors that impact Zambian lecturers' attitudes about incorporating ICTs in research and teaching activities. They found a positive correlation between the important factors that influence lecturers to assimilate ICTs in an academic environment.…”

There are some similarities between Financial Statement Audit (FSA) and Information Systems Audit (ISA). FSA is an examination of the reliability and integrity of financial statement records, whereas ISA is a review and evaluation of the controls, risks and system development within an information systems infrastructure to ensure that the safeguards protect against abuse, protect assets, maintain data integrity and operate effectively to achieve the organization's objectives. Decision makers need to ensure a reliable collection and evaluation of the evidence of an organization's information systems, practices and operations. Data manipulation can be caused by external or internal threat. Internal manipulation threat is the most dangerous because it is committed by authorized personnel, which makes it very difficult to detect. In particular, the framework introduces an anomaly detection technique, a data mining method, to determine if the suspected transactions arose from internal or external threats. Once the suspected transactions are identified, procedures and monitoring controls will be in place to minimize each threat. The proposed framework is expected to help university and ministry of higher education managers at all levels to make vital decisions based on reliable and accurate information.
