Examining the Twitter feed of 477 political elites, we observe that politicians as a whole more frequently discuss development comparing to technology and poverty. In addition, national-party politicians holding higher offices are significantly more likely to discuss all three topics comparing to regional-party officials and non-elected politicians even when accounting for their Twitter account characteristics. Finally, politicians from different states demonstrate different topic priorities, suggesting differences in local political circumstances contribute to political elites' Twitter topic prioritization.","PeriodicalId":159525,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133145212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present insights and findings of two focus group studies conducted with 16 ASHAs and 8 ASHA trainers across two health centers in Assam, India. We conducted two focus group studies to investigate challenges and opportunity areas in current health worker training ecosystem. Our objective was to identify insights that formulate design directions in order to develop technology solutions to train ASHAs effectively. We found challenges of poor training schedules, outdated information, inadequate contextual knowledge and field-based challenges, poor accessibility, and portability of the training material and low-confidence in communicating sensitive health information. We propose the need for technology intervention that supports practice-based learning, methods of role-playing and use of cultural songs and dance to increase engagement. We also propose the use of peer learning and sharing among ASHAs to increase adoption and acceptance.","PeriodicalId":159525,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125545358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, inequities in information access prevent many parents in the United States from engaging in ways that allow their children to achieve such success. We present preliminary research that holistically captures everyday technology and information practices of low-income Latino immigrants in Atlanta, Georgia. Our findings identify assets mobilized by these parents to design Consejero Automatico, a chatbot for WhatsApp that helps parents improve their information-seeking practices. We use Consejero as a probe for uncovering design goals and constraints when leveraging everday assets, and present a preliminary results that emphasize the role of trust in driving the adoption of tools for enhancing information sharing amongst the targeted group.","PeriodicalId":159525,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116383146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This accelerates economic growth within their country of origin. A key first step for good brain circulation is the initial emigration of a country's talent. We consider this issue for Bangladesh - which compared with India has seen far less brain circulation - and focus on university students' aspirations for careers abroad. Based on a survey distributed to 595 undergraduate IT students, we find that students' aspirations bifurcate into those hoping to work in English-speaking developed countries and those expecting to remain in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":159525,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124378521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While this movement raised voices against sexual harassment across the globe, many women in South Asia did not participate in this movement. In this paper, we present our study on non-participation of many Bangladeshi women in this movement through an anonymous online survey (n = 180), and an in-depth interview study (n = 30). Our study shows that many Bangladeshi women, despite being supportive of the movement, did not participate in this movement because of several social, cultural, and infrastructural reasons. We use transnational feminism as a theoretical framework to explain their non-participation. We further discuss how the lessons learned from this study help us better understand the participation, functioning, and impact of social media movements.","PeriodicalId":159525,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130664328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although cellular technologies and Wi-Fi have proved an enormous success in connecting billions of users to the Internet, they are not the best to connect objects with limited throughput requirements, limited processing power and low power consumption requirements. These needs are being addressed by Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) that use unlicensed frequencies and by newer cellular protocols aimed at lowering the cost of the devices by limiting their bandwidth capabilities in the licensed bands. This paper discusses these technologies and the choice made to provide an IoT infrastructure for the city of Maputo in Mozambique.","PeriodicalId":159525,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130759106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
