Aim/Purpose: The paper’s objective is to examine the challenges of using the mobile phone to mine location data for effective contact tracing of symptomatic, pre-symptomatic, and asymptomatic individuals and the implications of this technology for public health governance. Background: The COVID-19 crisis has created an unprecedented need for contact tracing across South Africa, requiring thousands of people to be traced and their details captured in government health databases as part of public health efforts aimed at breaking the chains of transmission. Contact tracing for COVID-19 requires the identification of persons who may have been exposed to the virus and following them up daily for 14 days from the last point of exposure. Mining mobile phone location data can play a critical role in locating people from the time they were identified as contacts to the time they access medical assistance. In this case, it aids data flow to various databases designated for COVID-19 work. Methodology: The researchers conducted a review of the available literature on this subject drawing from academic articles published in peer-reviewed journals, research reports, and other relevant national and international government documents reporting on public health and COVID-19. Document analysis was used as the primary research method, drawing on the case studies. Contribution: Contact tracing remains a critical strategy in curbing the deadly COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa and elsewhere in the world. However, given increasing concern regarding its invasive nature and possible infringement of individual liberties, it is imperative to interrogate the challenges related to its implementation to ensure a balance with public governance. The research findings can thus be used to inform policies and practices associated with contact tracing in South Africa. Findings: The study found that contact tracing using mobile phone location data mining can be used to enforce quarantine measures such as lockdowns aimed at mitigating a public health emergency such as COVID-19. However, the use of technology can expose the public to criminal activities by exposing their locations. From a public governance point of view, any exposure of the public to social ills is highly undesirable. Recommendations for Practitioners: In using contact tracing apps to provide pertinent data location caution needs to be exercised to ensure that sensitive private information is not made public to the extent that it compromises citizens’ safety and security. The study recommends the development and implementation of data use protocols to support the use of this technology, in order to mitigate against infringement of individual privacy and other civil liberties. Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers should explore ways of improving digital applications in order to improve the acceptability of the use of contact tracing technology to manage pandemics such as COVID-19, paying attention to ethical considerations. Impact on Society: Since contact tracing has implications for privacy and confidentiality it must be conducted with caution. This research highlights the challenges that the authorities must address to ensure that the right to privacy and confidentiality is upheld. Future Research: Future research could focus on collecting primary data to provide insight on contact tracing through mining mobile phone location data. Research could also be conducted on how app-based technology can enhance the effectiveness of contact tracing in order to optimize testing and tracing coverage. This has the potential to minimize transmission whilst also minimizing tracing delays. Moreover, it is important to develop contact tracing apps that are universally inter-operable and privacy-preserving.

“…Con respecto a las técnicas de co-citación, colaboración y análisis factorial es necesario recurrir a Mustafee et al (2020), que sostienen en sus investigaciones que la fortaleza de una red de co-citación está condicionada por la frecuencia en la que dos documentos reciben citas de un tercero. Además, según Rodríguez-Soler et al ( 2020), una red de co-citación fuerte provoca que los autores, fuentes o documentos reciban una gran cantidad de citas de forma individual.…”

In recent years the use of augmented reality has grown considerably in different fields, such as education, where there has been an increase in scientific production on the subject. However, there is no global picture of the research carried out within this field of study. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to conduct a conceptual, intellectual and social analysis of the use of augmented reality in education through the use of bibliometric techniques. A study of 482 documents included in the main collection of the Web of Science database during the period 2000-2019 was carried out. These documents have been analyzed using the bibliometrix tool. The results show that there are two thematic lines: technology in education and assistive technology. In addition, a change of trend is perceived in the use of augmented reality to respond to the specific educational support needs of the students. Augmented reality is a field in full expansion, where interventions do not yet have a central place. The development of a protocol for the use of augmented reality in education based on the results obtained is proposed as an avenue for future research. En los últimos años el uso de la realidad aumentada se ha extendido considerablemente en multitud de campos, como la educación, donde se ha producido un aumento en la producción científica sobre la temática. Sin embargo, no existe una imagen global sobre las investigaciones desarrolladas en los últimos años. Por este motivo, el objetivo del estudio es realizar un análisis conceptual, intelectual y social del uso de la realidad aumentada en la educación a través de técnicas bibliométricas. El estudio se realizó con 482 documentos del periodo 2000-2019, obtenidos de la colección principal de la Web of Science y que fueron analizados con la herramienta bibliometrix. Los resultados muestran que existen dos líneas temáticas, la tecnología en la educación y la tecnología de apoyo o asistencia. Además, se refleja un cambio de tendencia en el uso de la realidad aumentada para dar respuesta a las necesidades específicas de apoyo educativo del alumnado. Se puede concluir que la realidad aumentada es un campo en plena expansión, donde las intervenciones aún no ocupan un lugar central. Como futuras líneas se plantea el desarrollo de un protocolo de uso de la realidad aumentada en educación a partir de los resultados obtenidos.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the role of electronic governance (e-governance) in enabling asylum seekers’ access to public services in the city of Durban, South Africa. Because of COVID-19, the government scaled down its operations, limiting access to public services, including among migrants. Design/methodology/approach Because of COVID-19-related restrictions, a systematic review was conducted of the relevant academic literature as well as the information portals of relevant government departments, municipalities and research reports on migration and refugees in South Africa. A total of 320 peer-reviewed research articles were identified. These were filtered and 68 relevant articles were selected. Findings The study found that asylum seekers have limited access to public services via information communication technology-enabled mechanisms. Whilst the city government has embraced e-governance, it is still in its nascent stages. Research limitations/implications This study was limited to a desktop one because of COVID-19 restrictions and it focused exclusively on asylum seekers. Therefore, its findings can only be generalised to this category of people. Practical implications Future studies on this subject should gather data from all categories of migrants to gain in-depth perspectives. Social implications All spheres of governance in South Africa should recognise asylum seekers as a constituency that deserves access to public services. E-governance can facilitate easier access to these services, and policies need to be aligned with this reality. Originality/value This study examined the efficacy of e-governance in enabling access to government services by asylum seekers during COVID-19. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no other study on this subject was conducted during this period.
