Adoption of e-government services: an empirical study of the online tax filing system in Taiwan
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence the willingness of the public to adopt online tax filing services.Design methodology approach - An online survey was conducted from which 400 valid questionnaires were recovered. The questionnaire data were used to research the degree of acceptance among Taiwanese taxpayers with regard to the online tax filing system. Respondents were classified into existing users (who were sub-categorised into early adopters and late adopters) and potential adopters.Findings - The results demonstrate that the perceived attributes of trialability and observability significantly influence the adoption intention of late adopters. However, these attributes did not have a significant influence on early adopters. Social norms and the perceived attributes of relative advantage, compatibility, and complexity significantly influence the adoption intention of current users. For potential adopters, only social norms had a significant effect on their intention to use the online tax filing system.Practical implications - This study recommends that a more convenient and user-friendly design for online tax-filing processes would enhance the perception of the system and encourage taxpayers to continue or consider using this e-government service.Originality value - While online tax-filing systems are getting more attention in e-government development, little is known about why people are willing to use them. This paper investigates the reasons by applying innovation diffusion theory, social cognitive theory and contingency theory. The results could be applicable to other e-government services.

Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) disease diagnostic error in low-resource health care: Observations from a hospital-based cross-sectional study
Although the global burden of ear, nose and throat (ENT) diseases is high, data relating to ENT disease epidemiology and diagnostic error in resource-limited settings remain scarce. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional review of ENT patients’ clinical records at a resource-limited tertiary hospital. We determined the diagnostic accuracy and appropriateness of patient referrals for ENT specialist care using descriptive statistics. Cohens kappa coefficient (κ) was calculated to determine the diagnostic agreement between non-ENT clinicians and the ENT specialist, and logistic regression applied to establish the likelihood of patient misdiagnosis by non-ENT clinicians. Of the 1543 patients studied [age 0–87 years, mean age 25(21) years (mean(SD)], non-ENT clinicians misdiagnosed 67.4% and inappropriately referred 50.4%. Compared to those aged 0–5 years, patients aged 51–87 years were 1.77 (95%CI: 1.03–3.04) fold more likely to have a referral misdiagnosis for specialist care. Patients with ear (aOR: 1.63; 95% CI: 1.14–2.33) and those with sinonasal diseases (aOR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.14–2.45) had greater likelihood of referral misdiagnosis than those with head and neck diseases. Agreement in diagnosis between the ENT specialist and non-ENT clinicians was poor (κ = 0.0001). More effective, accelerated training of clinicians may improve diagnostic accuracy in low-resource settings.

The Uses of Inventories in Early Modern France, from the Bureau de la Ville de Paris to Antoine Furetière’s »Roman bourgeois
This essay eclectically traces the cultural significance of making and checking inventories in domestic, public, and bureaucratic contexts in early modern France. The analysis centres on the specific uses of inventories found in two interconnected spaces, the office and the library. A third space, the discursive space of a literary text (Antoine Furetière’s »Roman bourgeois«), problematises the inventorial practices found in the other two spaces. Furetière’s strategies of representation, foreshadowing those of Balzac, constantly recalibrate and tot up documentary forms of writing within and alongside literary forms.

New life for old cellular pathology: a transformational approach to the upcycling of historic e-pathology records for contemporary clinical uses
AimsCellular pathology (‘e-pathology’) record sets are a rich data resource with which to populate the electronic patient record (EPR). Accessible reports, even decades old, can be of great value in contemporary clinical decision making and as a resource for longitudinal clinical research. The aim of this short paper is to describe a solution in a major UK University Hospital which gives immediate visibility and clinical utility to 30 years of e-pathology recordsMethodsOver the past decade, we have created a timeline structured and iconographic data framework for the ‘whole-of-life’ visualisation of the entirety of an EPR. We have enhanced this interface with the sequential extraction of 373 342 e-pathology reports from legacy Ferranti (1990–1997) and Masterlab (1997–2004) files. They have been uploaded into our SQL file servers, following appropriate data quality and patient identity reconciliation checks.ResultsWe have restored a large repository of previously inaccessible e-pathology records to clinical use and to immediacy of access as a foundation element of our timeline structured EPR. This process has also allowed us to populate and validate an EPR-integral breast cancer data system of 20 000 cases with e-pathology records dating back to 1990.ConclusionsThe revitalisation of old e-pathology reports into a timeline structured EPR creates preserves and upcycles the investment in pathology reporting which is otherwise progressively lost to clinical use. E-pathology records provide reliable, life-long evidence of critical transition points in individual lives and disease progression for clinical and research use, when they can be instantly accessed.

A Research on the Sharing Platform of Wild Bird Data in Yunnan Province Based on Blockchain and Interstellar File System
Sharing scientific data is an effective means to rationally exploit scientific data and is vital to promote the development of the industrial chain and improve the level of science and technology. In recent years, the popularity of the open data platform has increased, but problems remain, including imperfect system architecture, unsound privacy and security, and non-standardized interaction data. To address these problems, the blockchain’s decentralization, smart contracts, distributed storage, and other features can be used as the core technology for open data systems. This paper addresses the problems of opening, allocation-right confirmation, sharing, and rational use of wild-bird data from Yunnan Province, China. A data storage model is proposed based on the blockchain and interstellar file system and is applied to wild-bird data to overcome the mutual distrust between ornithology institutions in the collaborative processing and data storage of bird data. The model provides secure storage and secure access control of bird data in the cloud, thereby ensuring the decentralized and secure storage of wild-bird data for multiple research institutions.

Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) for Population-Based Data Collection in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Opportunities, Challenges, and Solutions
Health research requires high-quality data, and population-based health research comes with specific opportunities and challenges for data collection. Electronic data capture can mitigate some of the challenges of working with large populations in multiple, sometimes difficult-to-reach, locations. This viewpoint paper aims to describe experiences during the implementation of two mixed methods studies in Vietnam, Nepal, and Indonesia, focusing on understanding lived experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic across 3 countries and understanding knowledge and behaviors related to antibiotic use in Vietnam. We present the opportunities, challenges, and solutions arising through using Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) for designing, collecting, and managing data. Electronic data capture using REDCap made it possible to collect data from large populations in different settings. Challenges related to working in multiple languages, unstable internet connections, and complex questionnaires with nested forms. Some data collectors lacked the digital skills to comfortably use REDCap. To overcome these challenges, we included regular team meetings, training, supervision, and automated error-checking procedures. The main types of errors that remained were incomplete and duplicate records due to disruption during data collection. However, with immediate access to data, we were able to identify and troubleshoot these problems quickly, while data collection was still in progress. By detailing our lessons learned—such as the importance of iterative testing, regular intersite meetings, and customized modifications—we provide a roadmap for future projects to boost productivity, enhance data quality, and effectively conduct large-scale population-based research. Our suggestions will be beneficial for research teams working with electronic data capture for population-based data.

A Sierra Leone 2021 Midwifery Clinical Training Needs Assessment: A Call to Action to Augment Clinical Precepting
Sierra Leone has one of the highest maternal mortality and infant mortality rates globally. We share findings from a Midwifery Clinical Training Needs Assessment, conducted in 2021 as a collaboration between the Government of Sierra Leone and Seed Global Health. The assessment identified existing needs and gaps in midwifery clinical training at health facilities in Sierra Leone from various stakeholders' perspectives.
The descriptive needs assessment utilized mixed methods, including surveys, focus group discussions (FGDs), interviews, and reviews of maternal medical records.
The following showed needs and gaps in labor and delivery management; record keeping; triage processes; clinical education for students, recent graduates, and preceptors; and lack of infrastructure and resources.
The knowledge gained from this needs assessment can further the development of midwifery clinical training programs in Sierra Leone and other low-income countries facing similar challenges. We discuss the implication of our findings.
