<p>This paper presents the results of a research into the volume, type and quality of the evaluation of public relations activities in companies in Serbia. The survey was conducted via a web survey. The responses were collected from 50 PR service managers from 50 companies in Serbia. The results are presented through descriptive statistics and correlation analysis where some of the observed sizes of the connection were analyzed. The main conclusions can be summarized as follows: PR functions are often not assigned sufficient importance in companies in Serbia; the evaluation of PR activity is slightly neglected compared to other PR activities; intensive and continuous evaluation of the performances of PR activities increases the likelihood of the complete PR function of the company being successful; companies that are not so successful use evaluation less than successful companies; the evaluation of PR activities is mostly done through a method for measuring quantity; the main problems in the evaluation of PR activities are lack of time and money. The evaluation of PR activities in companies in Serbia can be improved through a greater understanding on the part of top managers, and also by hiring additional PR practitioners.</p>

The monitoring of water quality in the EU is described in detail and regulated by Directives of the European Commission and the Parliament, which underlines the importance of the quality of water (both potable and non-potable). Analysis of trace concentrations of contaminants in water, including metals, still presents challenges to demonstrate the quality and comparability of results. The article provides a detailed overview of the procedures that laboratories can use to assess the reliability of the results obtained by a particular measurement procedure. Emphasis is placed on three basic pillars: metrological traceability, validation and measurement uncertainty. Subsequently continuous evaluation is carried out using internal and external quality management measures. Regional aspects specific for the Czech Republic are also mentioned.

Introduction: Neonatal tetanus is a highly debilitating disease with high mortality. Global efforts at eliminating the disease in developing countries are yielding results but slower than expected. The high case fatality of neonatal tetanus remains a therapeutic challenge to physicians and requires continuous evaluation. This study aimed to determine the incidence and outcome of neonatal tetanus in Zaria, northwestern Nigeria. Methodology: A retrospective study of neonatal tetanus was conducted at the Neonatal Unit of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria, between January 2005 and December 2009. Data generated were analyzed using the Epi Info version 3.5.1 software and statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Of the 2,692 newborns admitted during the study period, 20 had tetanus, giving an overall prevalence of 0.7%. There were 14 males and 6 females (male to female ratio 2.3:1). The mean age and weight at presentation were 8.3 ± 4.0 days and 2.7 ± 0.3 kg, respectively. The mean incubation period was 3.2 ± 2.0 days. Four infants (20.0%) survived, one was discharged against medical advice and 15 (75.0%) died. Factors associated with mortality were presentation at less than seven days of life, low Hendrickse score at presentation (p = 0.0005) and hypoglycaemia (p = 0.0374). Conclusion: The incidence and the mortality rate of neonatal tetanus appear to be lower than those previously reported by our centre for the same region. Therefore, the ongoing global efforts for disease elimination and further improvements in the quality of care should be sustained.

Being There

Methods of assessing presence, a sense of ‘being there’ within a displayed virtual environment, include post-test subjective measures, discrimination tests, and monitoring reflexive responses. Each is limited—either they do not provide a measure of temporal variation, are not feasible with current display technology or are overly content-specific. A measure of presence derived from the method of continuous evaluation (ITU-R, Recommendation BT.500-7, revised, “Methodology for the subjective assessment of the quality of television pictures”, 1995) has been used to overcome these limitations. The results of two experiments are presented. Those of the first experiment established that the methodology is usable under the optimal viewing conditions for the 20 inch stereoscopic TV display upon which our stimuli were presented. It compares within-subject variation on continuous TV picture quality ratings under two viewing conditions—at six picture heights in the light (standard for quality evaluations) and at two picture heights in the dark (optimal stereo TV viewing). The second experiment investigated the effects of manipulations of the visual parameters of stereo, scene motion, and observer-based motion on participants' presence evaluations within edited sections of a stereoscopic film. The results provide support for theories predicting that the extent of sensory information available to a participant is one of the factors determining presence.

User Friendly

E-government websites contain sensitive and important information where security and reliability are crucial. However, due to the large number of visitors, they are expected to be user friendly and provide services quickly. There are several methods to evaluate websites. Quality attributes of a website depend on several characteristics such as: its domain, type of information, and services it provides. This paper examines several e-government websites in Jordan for a comprehensive list of possible metrics, attributes and tools for evaluating websites. Websites and tools that can gather the described metrics are used to compare results. Results showed that such metrics have important information related to the overall properties and quality of those websites. This paper examines this list of metrics to evaluate e-government websites because such websites should have a combination of several high quality attributes that most other websites may not need to have. Similar to e-commerce websites, they need to provide high end quick secure services to a large number of users. Further, due to the type of sensitive data that they hold, they can be targets for a large number of hackers or invaders. Without the continuous evaluation and assessment for all required attributes such websites may fail catastrophically and cause a significant damage to data and reputation.

Degree Of Convergence

The quality of public data made available by governments is a crucial factor in achieving greater transparency and also for such data to be used effectively by society. Several models of quality evaluation of open data portals have been proposed in recent years. The vast majority of these models incorporate manual evaluation processes, which makes it time consuming and expensive to maintain a continuous evaluation of open data portals. In order to verify the reliability of the results generated by an automated evaluation model, a comparative analysis was performed between an automated model and a manual model. The results showed the degree of convergence of the quality criteria of the automated model in relation to the manual evaluation model.
