This paper is a review of the impact of data protection/privacy, website usability and culture on e-government adoption. Along with Hofstede's cultural dimensions and technology acceptance theory, the paper uses these two theories to analyse the highly anticipated era of electronic government, an aspect through which government communicates with agencies and business organisation through information communication technology. We examine the adoption process, its challenges and difficulties, especially in developing countries like Nigeria considering fundamental deficiencies in basic infrastructure, human capacity, political and cultural constraints. This paper can help Nigerian government policy and decision makers develop strategies to adopt e-government services and improve the further development of these services. The paper does not only provide empirical support to previous research, but it validates and improve the results of similar studies in the field.
This study aims to bridge the gap between subjective literary criticism and natural language processing by creating a model that emulates the results of a survey into literary tastes. A panel of human experts qualified segments of literary text according to how aesthetically pleasing they found them. These segments were then rated for literariness in an open survey using a Likert scale. Each segment was subjected to a parts-of-speech tagger using NLTK and the results compared with those of the survey. Using a Grounded Theory approach, experiments using various combinations of parts-of-speech were carried out in order to build a model that could replicate the results shown in the open survey. The success of this approach confirms the feasibility of using this method to create a more accurate and analytical model of literary criticism involving deeper stylistic markers.
This pilot study investigates the potential of automatic translation engines to be used as a tool for literary analysis. Two sample texts, one prose and one poetry, were chosen as representative of their genre and translated from English into one of 62 languages. Re-translated back into English, the resulting texts were compared with a stylistic analysis of the original. Many stylistic features were retained although more subtle features of the texts were lost in the translation process. The similarity index varied widely between languages-between 90% and 32.9%-with corresponding stylistic feature retention observed. The similarity index gives a good indication of the literary quality of the text, suggesting that this process may be useful as a preliminary "filtering" technique in deeper studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
