Abstract
This paper reviews the article "Viewing a Map versus Reading as Description of a Map: Modality-Specific Encoding of Spatial Information" written by Tlauka, Keage and Clark. According to the paper, the article reports results of a study that was conducted in order to determine if neural activity within the human brain, that had accompanied processing of previously-learned information, about positions and locations of various places on a map, was measurably influenced by the particular modality in which spatial parameters of the maps themselves had been learned originally.
From the Paper
"In the learning phase, the study participants either looked at a map, or read a written description of a map. Next, study participants' comparative abilities to use the spatial knowledge they had learned earlier, either visuospatially [sic] or verbally, was measured, by having each of the participants then perform a spatial orientation task, during which EEG activity was measured. According to the authors, brain activity relative to processing spatial information was inferred from amplitude, latency, and topography of several spatiotemporal parts of the ERP. The authors found that overall performance was unaffected by previous map-learning modality (visuospatial [sic] or verbal), but that the neural activity underlying processing of stimuli was in fact influenced by previous map-learning modality (e.g., visuospatial [sic] or verbal). Based on this result, the authors concluded that conflicting results derived from the behavioral and Neurophysiological measures suggest that adopting particular orientations in imagined space can involve different patterns of brain activation."

From the Paper
"Making the best choices regarding which jobs to complete concurrently, when one has to work on securing information for more than one project, proffers one answer to better managing information overload. Also, as Lewis (2007) notes, when an information seeker chooses to eliminate distractions (email; phone; visitors, that he/she does not have to immediately deal with, helps him/her better manage information.
"In the end, considering the source of information, as Behreandt (2005, p. 27) recommends, also constitutes a primary key to helping ensure information overload on information seeking behavior and the impact it exerts on the librarian/information professional proves to be more positive than negative. After all, information in and of itself does not have any value, as Nelson (2004) notes. Instead, the communication and sharing of information and its meaning gives it value."

Abstract
This paper explains that the conventional simile of an institution of higher education as a self-enclosed community is opposed as knowledge turns out to be extensively obtainable on the Internet, and teacher-student and student-student conversations are not compelled by spatial borders. The author points out that quick transformations in the orderliness of information, labor, and equipment in all the disciplines make it more essential for all the students to develop into permanent learners. The paper concludes that an educational environment in which information technology is created by principled assessment regarding higher-level learning is said to increase the values of academic and technical aptitudes.

"Consistent with the educators, the knack is to equalize the squad. For example, the teachers cannot have two computer experts in the similar group or they will clash for direct. Teachers, on the other hand, assert that bringing together a group where students' aptitudes and educative methods balance each other and manage with each other's powers and flaws is a much more appropriate technique in modern classrooms. It assists if the teacher arranges the grouping so all students add their personal specific aptitudes."

"The accuracy, security and privacy of all medical records are some of the most important objectives, as the healthcare environment moves forward in utilizing the electronic patient record. Rules of behavior policies are created and users agree to sign a confidentiality agreement prior to a user being given access to the system. The rules are based on the needs of the various users of the system. The security provided by the rules is only as stringent as is necessary to provide adequate security for information in the system. Such rules are clearly designed to demarcate responsibilities and expected behaviour of all individuals with access to the system."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The management of information technology systems in organizations has emerged as one of the most important aspects of information technology in this digital era. Although problems with information technology systems are not a new phenomenon, their impact seems more pronounced. The organizations of today face unique challenges in the information technology systems area unlike those of the traditional project management of the past. The incessant continued drive toward eBusiness means that information technology has become ever more critical to the success of the organization as a while. As a result, information systems project managers face more pressure and visibility over failed initiatives. Organizations are typically dealing with chaotic, technology-influenced projects that generate knowledge. The quality of knowledge-generating projects is also most heavily affected by the skills and intellectual capital of the project team. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the Health Information Portability Accounting Act (HIPAA) creates federally mandated requirements regarding protected health information (PHI) that can impact any employer, regardless of its size, location or industry. The author points out that employers who sponsor group health plans are affected depending on whether the employer (1) is fully insured or self-insured and (2) creates or receives Protected Health Information, defined to include all individually identifiable health information held or transmitted by a covered entity or business associate electronically or in other forms with the exceptions (a) that the Privacy Rules do not apply to employment records, including medical information employers use to comply with various disability laws, such as American Disabilities Act (ADA), and workers' compensation, or to administer workplace disability policies or substance abuse rules and (b) health information useful to the employer in administering their health plan. The paper relates that the act allows adolescents access to confidential care for contraception and sexually transmitted diseases and other services.

From the Paper
"In connection with implementing a compliance program, group health plans are exempt from these requirements if they provide health benefits solely through an insurance contract with a health insurance issuer or an HMO and they do not create or receive PHI except for summary health information, or information regarding the status of an individual's enrollment, or disenrollment from the HMO or health insurance issuer. It is important to note that employers must consider their activities not only in the context of use and disclosure of PHI between the group health plan and the plan sponsor, but also in the context of any disclosures of PHI to a third party. A disclosure from the group health plan to a third party administrator would require adequate assurances of confidentiality, and would require a business associate agreement under the Privacy Rule before PHI could be disclosed."

Abstract
This paper explains that the entire health care system in the United States is predicated on a well-established system of careful control of medical information that is afforded the highest degree of privacy and privilege. The author points out that the release of information pertains to all medical information with a personal identifier on a document of any sort, which can take the form of traditional paper-based medical records and forms, digital output stored in a hospital?s mainframe or a clinician?s desktop, and X-rays and their interpretations that are subject to release of information privacy protections. The paper concludes that, notwithstanding the ethical considerations involved, failure to exercise adequate security of such personal medical information or to comply with requests for information should carry serious consequences.

Explanation of Health Information Policy/Procedure Specific to Release of Information
From the Paper
"Under HIPAA, all patients have the right to inspect, copy, and amend their health-care information; authorize or refuse to authorize its use; and receive a formal accounting of how their information is used. Infrastructural barriers must be used to block unauthorized access to a patient's medical data. The rule provides for civil monetary penalties of up to $25,000 for each standard violation as well as criminal penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $250,000. (104) The federal law represents a floor of protection for medical data; stricter state laws are not preempted. In addition to these, many other federal statutes may interact with HIPAA's privacy provisions."

Abstract
The following paper examines how L.L. Bradford and Company, a regional CPA firm, decided to offer its clients full financial services. This paper discusses how such a company that wishes to effectively service their customers and maximize the value of the benefits they can provide, needs to find a software package that can integrate all the existing ?legacy systems? on a relational basis, and allow information that previously had been available only to the auditors through their software to become available to all. The writer also examines how L.L. Bradford chose to buy and customize an off-the-shelf Executive Information System called ?Goldmine?;which allows all departments to have access to the same customer information, allowing for marketing of services, billing, follow-up and other services the company wishes to provide its clients. This paper goes on to prove that the above is a good example of the benefit of Executive Information Systems, as it shows basically what can be done, and how business and communication between business and clients, departments and management, owners and employees can be facilitated to build business and stimulate growth.
From the Paper
"Internet technologies and applications have grown more rapidly than anyone could have envisioned, even as recently as five years ago. They have opened up new means and frontiers of communication, collaboration and coordination between customers, businesses and trading partners.Executive Information Systems, also known as Enterprise Software is an explosively-growing $23 billion a year sub-industry of software for companies looking to use technology to improve virtually every key corporate function ? manufacturing, finance, sales, marketing, human resources and supply-chain management. Executive Information Systems, or Enterprise Resource Planning software, solutions are software solutions that provide a common, consistent system to capture data organization-wide to integrate information across corporate functions and to provide tools for planning and monitoring the various functions and processes towards a common purpose. To compete effectively, companies are challenged to create new products, maximize efficiencies in service, processing and administration, and increase penetration within existing markets, all the while keeping customers satisfied with high levels of service which may span several time zones. While the profitability of corporations is typically measured in dollars, overall success can be measured in terms of profitability plus the attainment of organizational goals. This success derives from a synergy of inputs, including the work of employees who are dedicated, skilled and knowledgeable, and a management team that understands how to inspire competent and motivated performance through sensitive and responsive management of a continually changing workplace."

Abstract
This paper looks at two specific articles and addresses the issue of freedom of information. This paper concludes that the freedom of information is an aspect that involves the complicated relationship between the state and the citizen in a democracy. The state has a responsibility to protect and to gather information, as well as to disseminate it. But it also has the responsibility of allowing access to the people that elect governments. This often creates a conflict of interest, especially when issues of privacy and national security may be involved.

Abstract
In contemporary society, information is rapidly growing abundant and essential in human progress and communication. Information has been incorporated into all levels of human organizational values with a significant impact on community behavior. This paper examines how this has led scholars to claim that the current social order has evolved into an 'Information Society' where information has substantially affected and determined not only the course of social communication but also the global economic and political landscape.

From the Paper
"According to Daniel Bell, information, labor, and production are the most likely elements to progress faster in a post-industrial economy. Pre-industrial societies are dominated by an agricultural mode of production. This can be described by the maximization of natural resources by human and animal means. On a post-industrial scale, the focal point is in processing. More importantly, Bell's theory states that in a post-industrial society, there is going to be a significant shift to services as the main employing sector. Services would be the main source of need in a post-industrial society and Information Technology would produce these particular services."

"Information systems (IS) security is challenging most organisations in the world today. As organisations recognise the importance of information to compete and be successful in business, an increase in security awareness to protect this information has also followed. As a greater reliance has been placed of information systems by organisations, the need to protect IS systems have never been so relevant as they are today. Highly publicised security breaches have made organisations realise how this can affect business, particularly when it relates to confidential, financial and personal information."

Abstract
The writer of this clear and concise paper delves into the various advances made over the years to basic information systems while also detailing their usefulness in both business and personal settings. The writer contends that computer information systems were initially developed to assist in managing and storing valuable data and information in both an organized and accessible form. Earlier computer systems required humans to manually load, enter and run computer programs, this is no longer the case as is explained in this paper. This paper discusses the functions of basic operation systems that each and every computer must contain in order to operate. This paper also delves into computer networking which is defined as a set of computers and connected devices that are linked together by shared communication facilities.

From the Paper
"The term network has been defined as a set of computers and connected devices that are linked by communication facilities. Thus a network can be two computers connected by a cable or thousands of computers connected by high-speed data communication links that is spread all over the world. Network gives us two basic advantages: the facility to communicate and the facility to share. A network helps in communication between users in better ways than other media. E-mail, the most well known form of network communication, offers inexpensive, printable communication with the facility of sending, reply, storage, recovery, and addition. Network supports collaboration with its capacity to share. This is the main charm of popular software called groupware that is created in such a way to allow many users to have electronic meetings and work alongside on projects. Internet is a network of computer networks, upon which anybody who has permission to a host computer can circulate their own documents."
