The Internet of things (IoT) as a paradigm promises to make things including consumer electronic devices or home appliances such as medical devices, fridges, cameras, and sensors part of the internet environment. Within this paper, the design of an IoT-based solution of smart school bus monitoring that provides SMS notification in real-time has been proposed together with its prototype development. The system allows parents and schools to track the condition and safety of children by using a combination of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Global Position System (GPS) technologies connected to a remote server using GSM/GPRS technologies through Arduino Uno and Arduino IDE. This resulted in a Smart School Bus (SSB) system consisted of six (6) main components and seven (7) sub-components to solve one of the key challenges in the City of Kigali with no trustworthy system in place that can monitor school buses and be able to provide real-time information for children's locat...

This paper sought to analyze pros and cons of the current e-commerce and agriculture digitization in Rwanda and how rural development benefits from them. Since the country emerge in social and economic transformation, ICT has been a prominent tool to inject a rapid Economic growth among Rwanda’s citizens. Agriculture digitization has been successfully implemented, different national and international organization sponsored this ultimate initiative, Rwanda become one of the fewest African country with an electronic world trade platform in Africa. Though a promising progress is noticeable, the researcher found some barrier towards a successful migration from a longstanding model towards an advanced and ultramodern agriculture’s e-commerce and digitization platform.

Background At Lamentin Hospital Centre in Martinique, prescriptions are analysed by pharmacists in two clinical units, twice a week. This routine analysis leads to pharmaceutical interventions (PIs) defined by the French Society of Clinical Pharmacy (SFPC). Purpose To describe PIs over 6 months. Materials and methods A prospective study that included all patients hospitalised in two units, general medical and geriatric, was conducted from 12 November 2012 to 24 April 2013. The pharmaceutical analysis was made following official guidelines with laboratory and clinical data. The detection of interactions was made in a qualified Access database, importing the Thesaurus of the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (MSNA). The PIs were recorded in an Excel file and classified according to the SFPC classification. Doctors were either notified of PIs by phone or in writing. Medical acceptance was defined as changing the prescription. Results In 19 weeks, pharmacists analysed 940 prescriptions for 658 patients (mean age 70 ± 14 years, 49% male), which led to 58 PIs (6%). The mean number of medicines per patient was 8.5 with more in geriatrics (9). The main problems were drugs interactions (38%), then contra-indication (31%), overdose (14%), indication not treated (10%) and inappropriate administration (5%). Four levels of constraint are defined by MSNA: Contraindication, Disadvised association, Precaution for use and To take into account. The majority of interactions we found fell under Take into account (57%), then Precaution for use (30%) and Disadvised association (11%). Among the severe potential interactions we highlighted the following risks: 35% risk of hyperkalaemia, 17% risk of central nervous system depression, 16% risk of haemorrhage and 14% risk of hypotension. The most frequently drugs involved were: antihypertensives (31%), antithrombotics (16%), analgesics (12%), antibiotics (6%) and electrolytes (6%). The solutions most often suggested by pharmacists were drug switches (31%), dose adjustment (29%), therapeutic drug monitoring (14%), optimisation of administration (14%) and drug discontinuation (12%). In 19% (11/58) of PIs hyperkalaemia had a clinical relevance and was managed. A high rate of PIs (72%) was accepted by the prescribers. Conclusions This study shows the importance of the pharmacist’s role in detecting potential drug interactions and drug-related problems for adjusting patient treatment. The pharmaceutical validation of the prescriptions and close collaboration with physician should improve the quality, safety and efficacy of patient care. Another study should evaluate the impact of PIs on medical prescriptions to reduce inappropriate prescribing of medicines. No conflict of interest.

This paper sought to aver Cloud Computing as a Suitable Alternative to the Traditional On-Premise ERP and Massive Data Storage based on the information from the institutions that implement ERP system, government and private organisations that consider the adoption of cloud ERP and professionals comments from cloud technology. In this complete range, the genuine number of detriments of on premise ERP deployment in today technology arena and subsidies of Cloud Based ERP adoption were sought. The researcher, after getting the above information conducted as survey about this census to establish the potential of Cloud Computing based ERP as a suitable and alternative use of the On-Premise ERP and Massive Data Storage. The study had three objectives including examining the extent at which On-premise and Cloud ERP is being adopted and establishing whether people are likely to adopt Cloud based ERP, determine the factors affecting Cloud computing System adoption, indicating the factors that...
