Abstract

This study evaluates the performance of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) in disaster recovery, addressing the gap in existing research that primarily focuses on network performance metrics. The study aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) framework, considering financial, user, process, and innovation perspectives. A quantitative approach is employed, synthesizing data from existing literature, case studies, and empirical research on MANET deployments in disaster scenarios. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are categorized into the four BSC dimensions: network efficiency (process), cost-effectiveness (financial), usability (user), and innovation capacity. The study finds that MANETs significantly enhance communication resilience during disasters but face challenges in scalability, energy consumption, and security. The BSC framework identifies high deployment feasibility and operational efficiency but highlights limitations in long-term sustainability and integration with satellite/terrestrial networks. Unlike previous studies focused solely on technical parameters, this research offers a holistic evaluation by integrating the BSC framework, providing a more comprehensive analysis. The findings suggest that adaptive routing, AI-driven optimizations, and hybrid MANET-Satellite models could improve network performance. Future research should explore real-world deployments, energy-efficient protocols, and enhanced security models using blockchain.

Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and 5G technologies offer transformative capabilities for healthcare systems, especially in developing countries like Botswana. MANETs provide decentralized, flexible connectivity, while 5G ensures high-speed, low-latency communication—together enabling critical services such as telemedicine, real-time patient monitoring, and emergency response. However, their integration introduces significant security risks, including data breaches, unauthorized access, and system vulnerabilities. This paper proposes a Comprehensive Multi-Layer Security Framework to address these challenges, combining encryption, secure MANET routing protocols, 5G network slicing, blockchain authentication, and AI-driven intrusion detection. The framework aims to secure patient data at every network layer, enhancing system integrity, confidentiality, and availability. Implementation strategies include phased infrastructure development, workforce training, and the creation of data protection regulations. The study also emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and technology adaptation for resource-constrained environments. By adopting this model, Botswana can establish a secure, scalable healthcare infrastructure that supports innovation and improves access to quality care.

Abstract

This study investigates ERP adoption at a technical university in Botswana using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). It examines how Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), and Behavioural Intention (BI) influence Actual System Use (AU). Data were collected from administrative staff using a structured survey and analyzed using regression analysis. The results show that PEOU significantly influences both BI (R² = 0.964, p = 0.0029) and PU (R² = 0.864, p = 0.022), indicating that system usability is crucial for ERP adoption. Furthermore, PEOU positively impacts PU (R² = 0.817, p = 0.035), and BI strongly predicts AU (R² = 0.821, p = 0.034). These findings highlight the importance of user-friendly interfaces, comprehensive training programs, and institutional support to ensure successful ERP implementation. The research provides valuable insights for universities aiming to enhance operational efficiency, streamline data management, and improve decision-making processes through effective ERP adoption, particularly in developing countries like Botswana.

Abstract

This study explores gender-specific challenges that affect women’s adoption of technology in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) in developing countries, focusing on Botswana. It addresses the limited empirical understanding of how socio-economic, cultural, and digital literacy factors shape women’s ability to engage with technology-mediated education. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 20 women enrolled in ODL programs, collecting data on technology access, digital competence, socio-economic background, and perceptions of institutional support. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including correlations and chi-square tests, were conducted using SPSS. The findings show that limited digital literacy and poor internet access are the main barriers, while higher education and income levels positively impact technology engagement. Socio-cultural norms and institutional support also play a role, though shifting gender roles are reducing traditional constraints. This study highlights the intersection of individual competencies and contextual factors, providing evidence of both technological and socio-cultural determinants of women’s participation in ODL. The results inform policy and suggest areas for future research on inclusive digital education strategies.
