Electronic government and trust in government are both values that almost basically asked, whether introducing modest information technology on government services will lead people to trust in government more. Some research worked on this focus; hence many gaps are available to be revealed. The paper tried to observe the linkage between e-government in the remote regencies in Indonesia with citizens' trust. Research conducted in 2019 and 233 primary data from e-government users analyzed by partial least square tools. The study used the integrated model Information System Success and Theory Acceptance Model. The finding indicates that those variables have a positive impact on trust. The pivotal issue of the research showed that e-government implementation in rural developing countries does not only meet with the information system quality, but it should fit with local community conditions. Only a coherent application system and have a local-familiar application will lead to citizens' trust.

Among central challenges related to increasing organizational performance are the concerns associated with the productivity gain, cost reduction, employment of technology and qualification of the workforce. In this context, the concept of industry 4.0 has been expanding as a differentiation strategy for companies. This paper aims to evaluate the current scenario and the perspectives of the application of emerging technologies from Industry 4.0 regarding Quality Engineering, correlating them with the organization typology and the affected processes. The research is characterized by a systematic literature review in the Web of Science and Elsevier databases. The research results show certain emerging technologies are more strongly associated with Quality Engineering than others, suggesting different levels of maturity. The results suggest even greater adherence of emerging technologies by industrial type organizations instead of services, notably in processes of inspection, maintenance and production control. This study contributes to the academic community as it broadens the understanding of emerging technologies from industry 4.0 applied to Quality Engineering. Additionally, it identifies technologies with greater adherence in the current scenario and promotes a correlation with organizational typology, affected processes and expected impacts.

This study investigated quality assurance and management of basic education improvement in North-central, Nigeria. The aims of this study are to determine the relationship between external supervision, classroom-based student assessment, staff development and management of basic education improvement in North-central. To achieve this, three hypotheses were formulated and tested. Quantitative research design was used for the study. The population of this study comprised all 12,775 head teachers and 93, 201 teachers in public primary schools in North-central. Sample of 375 head teachers and 384 teachesr were proportionally selected in the seven states with the use of Research Advisor (2006), table of determining sample size of known population. Stratified random sampling techniques was used to select head teachers and teachers of the sample primary schools in order to ensure that every member of the population has equal right and chance of being selected. T-test statistical analysis was used to analyze the collected data. The results show that there was no significant difference between external supervision, classroom-based student assessment, staff development and management of basic education in Nigeria. It was therefore, recommended that head teacher should continue to show concern for effective supervision of all aspects of education, improve on classroom-based student assessment as well as ensuring constant staff development in order to enhance effective management of basic education improvement in Nigeria.

Optimal route selection for delivering product is the key concern for companies related to supply chain management. Route selection plays an important part, as it greatly affects the financial section of such companies. This paper presents Two-step exact algorithm for transportation problem. It uses the basic ideas of Least Cost Cell and Modified Distribution method. The algorithm is equally effective for balanced and unbalanced transportation problems. The effectiveness of the algorithm is discussed by considering different problem types with experimental setup followed by result analysis.

In India, eLearning is showing an increasing trend over the past two decades. Cost-effectiveness and learning flexibility are the key differentiators in favor of Indian eLearning progress. Success and effectiveness of eLearning mainly depend on content quality, representation, and infrastructural support for learning. Also, observed variations are quite high for content quality, media usage, and performance of the online learning resources. Availability of a standard set of quality parameters could have reduce the variation. In this paper, an attempt has been made to identify important eLearning quality parameters for the Indian context. Multiple focus group discussions were conducted to summarize the expectations of Indian eLearning stakeholders. Finally, a set of key parameters was identified. By focusing on these can improve overall eLearning quality, effectiveness, and acceptance by the users.

Industrial development strategy of Ethiopia is depend on labor intensive industrialization systems. Shoe factories one types of textiles factories which participate on economic of the country, but it not generate high productivity due to inefficient way of doing of the work. In lasting and finishing section of the shoe factory has a problems which related with the lack of work measurement method among the other existing department of the company. In case of problems in lasting and finishing section the productivity of the case company is affected, by existence of ineffective time, high fatigue of workers, and unwanted motion/movements of workers during process. In order to compete with other company, make a good working conditions of the workers and satisfy their customers; it needs to solve those problems by using work measurement method. In lasting and finishing section of shoe factory to increase their productivity through reducing: ineffective time, improper way doing of the workers and unwanted movement of the workers. However, the issues of work measurement method related are unsolved problems with in Ethiopian lasting and finishing section of shoe factory. Therefore, the main objectives of this study is to improve the productivity of Ethiopian lasting and finishing section of shoe factory by using work measurement method (method of doing work, movement distance with time), taking one of the shoe factory as a case study. From case company gathered processing time, distance movement, between workers and conveyor, distance between consecutive operation and time between consecutive operations with identifying working conditions of the workers during work their work on the on the existed system. Depend on collected data identified effective and ineffective time, movement distance with time of movement and unwanted movement distance with time. Then, reduce ineffective time, unwanted motion, change working conditions of the workers to reduce distance movement around working area. This research proved case company can be increase daily production from 734 pairs/day to 764 pair/day of shoe with making good working conditions of the workers.
