This objective was achieved by considering the perspectives of the forensic system, as well as the internal and external auditors of public shareholding companies listed in the Palestinian market. The study adopted an analytical descriptive approach for the presentation and analysis of the results. A questionnaire was designed for …

Nowhere Man: Podcasting And Storytelling In The Kimberley, Erin Parke, Merridoo Walbidi

Talking Heads Seminar Series

Over the past two years, Merridoo and Erin have collaborated to create the AB C podcast Expanse: Nowhere Man.

The six-part series revisits the strange saga of Robert Bogucki, who in 1999 disappeared into the Great Sandy Desert on a personal spiritual quest. But the podcast tackles much deeper and more complex questions, around Australia’s tense relationship with its remote landscapes, the attention given to survival feats by wealthy white people, and why so many Indigenous men have gone missing in northern Western Australia. The series also captures the little-known story of Merridoo Walbidi, who grew up in Yulparija country …

Merid-Eq: Multimodal Early Risk Identification For Home Healthcare Equity In Infection Risks, Zidu Xu, Jiyoun Song, Shuang Zhou, Danielle Scharp, Mollie Hobensack, Jingjing Shang, Maxim Topaz

Sigma Foundation for Nursing Research Grant Reports

Annually, three million people in the U.S. receive home healthcare (HHC). Aging-related deterioration, surgical history, and suboptimal home-disinfection practices increase infection risk, which accounts for over 40% of HHC-related hospital or emergency transfers. Critical indicators—such as clinical signs, procedures, and home-hygiene factors—are documented in narrative HHC notes. Converting these unstructured texts into actionable cues requires efficient automation that fits agencies’ limited computing capacity and evolving patient needs. Prior work shows clinicians value context-rich indicators (e.g., “wound deterioration: right thigh with large exudate drainage”) (1). While large language models excel at such tasks, they require extensive resources. Smaller LLMs may offer …

Online Learning, Disability, And The Use Of Ai: Lessons From A South African University, Megan Abrahams, Peter Weimann

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

This study explores the online learning experiences of students with disabilities (SWDs) at a South African university during the pandemic, investigating how institutional policy and AI-supported tools can address their challenges. Phase one used an interpretive qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews with SWDs to identify key barriers, including inconsistent faculty practices, limited accessibility and emotional isolation. The findings highlight systemic gaps in digital support and the absence of inclusive pedagogical frameworks. Phase two expanded the analysis through a review of documents, focusing on university policies and the potential role of emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), in promoting equitable access. …

A Guide For Applying Grounded Theory In Qualitative Research, Irja Shaanika, Tiko Iyamu

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

Grounded theory (GT) has been applied numerous times in qualitative research across disciplines. Yet, challenges remain in applying it. The challenges are attributed to its complexity, particularly because of its diversity as a research design and data collection method. Consequently, researchers, particularly emerging researchers and postgraduates, are drifting away from the theory. Primarily, the complexity arises from two fronts: (1) confusion, not being able to differentiate between its use as a design strategy and data collection technique, and (2) standardisation, a lack of understanding of when to stop in its iterative process. This study provides a structured, simplistic guide for …

The Utilisation Of The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4ir) Technologies In E-Government Service Delivery: A Systematic Literature Review, Arnet Zitha, Noluntu Mpekoa, Sheethal Tom

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

The integration of Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies is transforming e-Government by boosting citizen engagement and enhancing service efficiency. However, gaps still exist in understanding the various applications, impacts, and barriers to adoption. This systematic review synthesises literature from 16 studies published between 2017 and 2025, illustrating how technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of Things, and machine learning are employed and their effects on e-Government service delivery. The review reveals that 4IR technologies continue to play a vital role in e-Government services by addressing security threats, simplifying verification and authentication, building trust, and improving the quality and …

Assessing The Influence Of The Electronic Levy On Consumer Purchasing Behaviour In The Ghanaian E-Commerce Sector, Jefferson Sigfred Seyeram Bansa, David Asumadu - Boateng, Harry Adjetey Ashong, Rubby Aku Ameh

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

This study examines the influence of Ghana’s Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy) on consumer purchasing behaviour within the country’s emerging e-commerce ecosystem. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 consumers in Accra and Kumasi to explore how the levy affected their trust in digital platforms, transaction patterns, and engagement with e-commerce. Thematic analysis revealed four major findings: reduced frequency of online purchases, strategic avoidance of mobile money and other taxed platforms, restructuring of transactions to minimize costs, and a growing mistrust of digital systems fueled by misinformation and lack of policy clarity. While some consumers …

The Effects Of Organisational Culture In Strengthening Resilience And Technological Innovation: A Case Of Smes In South Africa, Lunathi Gwayi, Ayanda Pekane, Luzuko Tekeni

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

This study addressed the knowledge gap regarding how a strong organisational culture can help SMEs in South Africa navigate global crises, adapt to digital demands, and sustain long-term growth. The purpose of the study was explanatory, supported by an interpretive, inductive approach, and a qualitative strategy. Through semi-structured interviews with senior managers in the South African IT sector, the research identified Clan and Adhocracy cultures …

Harnessing Digital Innovation To Assist Civil Society: Implementing A Large-Scale Service-Learning Project In Information Systems Education, Fazlyn Petersen

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

Universities must actively engage with civil society to reduce inequalities and foster meaningful partnerships. This paper reports on a qualitative case study of a service-learning pilot project conducted in two large Information Systems courses involving over 250 students. Students collaborated in groups with local Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) to apply their theoretical knowledge to solve real-world problems. Data was collected via an online survey containing open-ended reflection questions, yielding 331 quotations from 289 respondents. This data was analysed using a deductive thematic analysis. The study found that students most frequently reported developing seven out of nine graduate …
