To ensure that countries can effectively benefit from digital health investments, “digital adaptation kits” (DAKs) are designed to facilitate the accurate reflection of WHO’s clinical, public health and data use guidelines in the digital systems that countries are adopting. DAKs are operational, software-neutral, standardized documentations that distil clinical, public health and data use guidance into a format that can be transparently incorporated into digital systems. For this particular DAK, the operational requirements are based on systems that provide the functionalities of digital tracking and decision support (DTDS) and include components such as personas, workflows, core data elements, decision-support algorithms, scheduling logic and reporting indicators. Web annexes provide certain components in additional detail including: data dictionary (Web Annex A), decision-support logic (Web Annex B), indicator definitions (Web Annex C), and functional and non-functional requirements (Web Annex D). Data elements within the DAK (Web Annex A) are mapped to standards-based terminology, such as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), to facilitate interoperability. This DAK focuses on providing the content requirements for a DTDS system for HIV care used by health workers in primary health care settings. It also includes cross- cutting elements focused on the client, such as self-care interventions.
This book is a practical resource on how to help senior management understand the Web and adapt the business, culture, teams and workflows accordingly. No fluff, no theory--just techniques and strategies that worked in practice, and showed results. --
Digital Adaptation Kits (DAKs) are part of WHO’s SMART guidelines initiative. This aims to ensure that the content of WHO’s evidence-based guidelines is accurately reflected in the digital systems being used at country level. The DAKs provide software-neutral, operational, and structured documentation based on WHO recommendations related to clinical care, health systems and use of data, to systematically and transparently inform the design of digital systems. Standard components of each DAK include: (1) linked health interventions and recommendations; (2) user personas; (3) user scenarios; (4) business processes and workflows; (5) core data elements mapped to standard terminology codes (e.g. the international classification of diseases); (6) decision support; (7) programme indicators; and (8) functional and non-functional requirements.
This book provides a systemic view on the digital future from the perspectives of various socio-humanitarian sciences: economics, social sciences, pedagogics and law. Presenting selected papers from the multi-disciplinary international conference “Climate changes and economy of the future: global transformation”, which was held at Pskov State University (Russia) on November 13–14, 2019, it offers a comprehensive overview of the current problems and the future potential of digital transformations of economic activities. This multidisciplinary book includes the latest research on the opportunities of the digital economy and the social and ecological consequences of its implementation, and as such offers a “road map” for development. It also features scientific and practical recommendations to allow effective management of the digitization process according to the current priorities.
Adaptation has always been central to Translation Studies, and, as print media becomes less and less dominant, and new media become central to communication, Adaptation is more than ever a vital area of Translation and Translation Studies. In addition, links to new digital media are examined. This is the only user-friendly textbook covering the full area of Translation, Adaptation, and Digital Media applicable to any language combination. Divided into nine chapters, it includes a wide range of texts from Brazilian culture, ensuring an ex-centric view of translation. Each chapter contains an expository section, case studies, and student activities to support learning. It emphasises the central role of Adaptation in the translation of works for the popular book market, for theatre, cinema, radio, and, especially, the new media. This is the essential textbook for students in Translation and Adaptation Studies courses and instructors and professionals working on adaptation and transmedia projects.
This study sought to understand the extent of digital technology usage across Zambezi riparian countries and analyze whether there is a conducive enabling environment for digital technology upscaling for climate adaptation. The study thus, examined the relationship between having a better enabling environment and the use of digital technologies in agriculture. Using data collected through stakeholder consultations in Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe as well desk studies focusing on the rest of the Zambezi riparian countries (Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe, the study finds that having an enabling environment for the upscaling of digital technologies varies from one Zambezi riparian country to the other, with Botswana and Namibia, having a better enabling environment and, thus a better readiness for digital technology upscaling. Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania have enabling environments that beg for improvement to facilitate large scale adoption and upscaling of digital technology. Other key constraints that undermine the adoption and use of digital technologies across the Zambezi River Basin countries are related to availability, access, affordability, technology design, ease of doing business, cultural and family norms, gender, and poor user skills. The cost of data was observed to be one of the major constraints for digital technology use in climate change adaptation across several countries. Macroeconomic conditions, particularly inflation and lack of foreign exchange, also undermine growth prospects of digital technology adaptation as many of these technologies need to be imported. It is interesting that correlations between enabling environment indicators and digitalization variables appear to reveal a positive relationship signifying that to upscale the use of digital technologies in agriculture, it is critical to address parameters within the enabling environments including, pre-requisite infrastructure, macro-economic stability, policy, and regulatory environment.
Digital Performance in Everyday Life combines theories of performance, communication, and media to explore the many ways we perform in our everyday lives through digital media and in virtual spaces. Digital communication technologies and the social norms and discourses that developed alongside these technologies have altered the ways we perform as and for ourselves and each other in virtual spaces. Through a diverse range of topics and examples—including discussions of self-identity, surveillance, mourning, internet memes, storytelling, ritual, political action, and activism—this book addresses how the physical and virtual have become inseparable in everyday life, and how the digital is always rooted in embodied action. Focusing on performance and human agency, the authors offer fresh perspectives on communication and digital culture. The unique, interdisciplinary approach of this book will be useful to scholars, artists, and activists in communication, digital media, performance studies, theatre, sociology, political science, information technology, and cybersecurity—along with anyone interested in how communication shapes and is shaped by digital technologies.
