This article presents the feasibility of conveying Information and Communication Technology (ICT) content in Mmɛn, a Bantu Grassfields language of Cameroon; a process which would imply a modernisation of the language, with a view to increasing its scientific knowledge base. It explores the processes used to create ICT terminology in this language in a bid to make such concepts relevant to the community. The focus is placed on the translation of a computer science manual used in primary schools within Cameroon’s language teaching project. Issues raised relate to translation, lexical innovation and mother tongue ICT instruction. Some solutions are proposed to problems inherent to official language into mother tongue translation, and the lexification of new phenomenon where adequate terminology is currently lacking. The results obtained highlight the role of translation and terminology in developing our languages, and indicate how ICT instruction in our languages justifies the claim that an idea expressed in one language can be expressed in any other. If well harnessed, this instruction will ensure access to innovative educational resources for rural and semi-urban Cameroonians alike, and will improve literacy and standards of living within a context of globalisation.

This research examined leadership practices in the unique context of primary schools with smaller levels of enrolment, specifically small schools in Malaysia. These are schools with an enrolment of up to 150 students that are primarily located in rural areas. This study explored the challenges encountered by experienced head teachers of such schools and, more importantly, identified the strategies head teachers employed to overcome these challenges. This was achieved through a qualitative analysis of interviews conducted with experienced head teachers from five small schools. The findings demonstrate that all five schools faced similar challenges: financial constraints, a dilapidated infrastructure, lack of human resources, and competence-related issues among teachers. All respondents overcame these challenges with creativity and passion. They found alternative methods with which to generate school funds, adopted the role of learner leaders by developing their information and communication technology skills, and served as role models for instructional leadership. The findings will enable policymakers and school leaders, particularly those involved in small schools, to provide quality education for every child. Nevertheless, further studies involving a greater number of respondents are needed to understand the complex challenges involved in managing small schools and the optimal ways of overcoming these.

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and study of psychological disorders. The role of the psychiatrist evolves to reflect developments in medicine, science and society. The scientific knowledge base required for the practice of psychiatry changes from generation to generation, but many of the fundamental principles of practice remain essentially unchanged. We attempt here to identify some of these (relatively unchanging) principles and explore their relevance to contemporary psychiatry. In particular, we focus on the work of some of the more reflective physicians of history (e.g. Sir Robert Hutchison, Sir William Osler) in order to identify and interpret principles of medical practice outlined in the 19th and 20th centuries and we explore the relevance of these conceptual frameworks to the practice of psychiatry in the 21st century.

In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.

Summary Solutions of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are the foundation of modern economic organizations in a knowledge economy. This is the case in particular in intelligent organizations, for which the advanced ICT infrastructure is the sine qua non condition for the effective knowledge management. This article is aimed at describing the role of modern ICT trends, which are described as SMAC, (Social, Mobility, Analytics, Cloud), and are becoming an essential ICT element supporting management processes. Such solutions enable to create new models of organization operations on the global markets using strategic resources, such as the knowledge supported with SMAC solutions. The arguments are illustrated with results of own research conducted by the author in 2014-2016 in selected SME’s from the Mazowieckie and Wielkopolskie rovinces and their reference to the general development trends in this area.
