GoEkopz: An E-Koperasi and Marketplace Synergy of Koperasi MSMEs Model Platform - Case Study: Koperasi Giat, eKopz Startup, PPKM Community

With a population of 273.5 million in 2020, the people's economy is very important for Indonesia. The populist economic model has existed in Indonesia for a long time, locally known as “Koperasi”. However, Koperasi could not keep up with information and technology in the industrial 4.0 era. When other industrial models adopt information technology massively, Koperasi seems to struggle to shift from the conventional model. Slowly but surely, Koperasi become less popular, especially among Generation Z, who considers information technology part of their daily needs and lifestyle. The scope of Koperasi’sbusiness shrinks and becomes limited, along with their business capital. On the other hand, information technology provides opportunities for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. The data shows that this sector contributes to 60.5% of the national GDP, absorbs 96.9% of the workforce, and provides 99.9% of total employment. Unfortunately, many Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) have limited capital and tend to prefer fintech services that offer easier accessibility than Koperasi. This paper aims to propose an E-Koperasi and the synergy of Koperasi and MSMEs model platform, specifically the digital marketplace platform. We design the platform requirements using the Software Requirement Specification with the User Acceptance Test. As a result, an application is developed as a model platform available for Koperasi and MSMEs. The platform is proposed to support the Government’s program to digitalize the Koperasi and the MSMEs and increase their competitiveness in Industrial 4.0.

Factors related to information and communication technologies adoption in small businesses in Colombia

This study is an analysis of how a set of factors influenced the decision to adopt information and communication technologies (ICTs) in small businesses in Colombia; for this purpose, a logistic modeling is applied, wherein the explained variable represents the companies’ decision to adopt ICTs. The main explanatory elements include demographic aspects of the owner, the company characteristics, and the legal practice of the company and its social capital. Data from the Microbusiness Survey 2019 conducted by the National Administrative Department of Statistics of Colombia were employed. The results show that traits such as owner age and gender affect adoption. Furthermore, variables such as the age and size of the company, the amount of computer equipment, business formalization practices, and social capital influence the use of these technologies. Therefore, it follows that the individual features of business owners are also determinants of technology adoption, and their inclusion becomes essential to supplement the analysis of these issues. In addition, the study supports the evidence that the acceptance of these technologies is positively related to the business size and infrastructure. By exploring, for example, the business formalization factor, a positive effect is obtained; consequently, the implementation of legal practices is linked to the ICT use. Thus, some of the areas for policy implementation would be, on one hand, the endowment of computer equipment, since it is a critical aspect in these small businesses, for which a subsidy policy for the acquisition of devices would be useful. In addition, the promotion of business formalization practices could lead to an improvement in the firm’s culture of technology use.

An Integrated Testbed for Power System Cyber-Physical Operations Training

The increased adoption of information and communication technology for smart grid applications will require innovative cyber–physical system (CPS) testbeds to support research and education in the field. Groundbreaking CPS testbeds with realistic and scalable platforms have progressively gained interest in recent years, with electric power flowing in the physical layer and information flowing in the network layer. However, CPSs are critical infrastructures and not designed for testing or direct training, as any misbehaving in an actual system operation could cause a catastrophic impact on its operation. Based on that, it is not easy to efficiently train professionals in CPSs. Aiming to support the advancement and encourage the training of industry professionals, this paper proposes and develops a complete testbed using a real-time simulator, protection and automation devices, and a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The testbed replicated the performance of smart grids, and the main potential cyber threats that electric grids may face. Different case scenarios include a distribution system protection study, a denial of service (DoS) attack, a jamming attack, a network packet manipulation attack, a sensor data manipulation attack, a false trip command attack, etc. The system’s performance before and after the cyberattacks are studied using packet-sniffing tools and a network packet analyzer. The impact on the grid is analyzed using metrics such as voltage oscillation, frequency deviation, and loss of active power generation. Moreover, the complex interdependencies between the cyber and physical domains are discussed in detail, providing insightful guidelines for key features and design decisions for future smart grid testbeds.

Information technology and firm's green innovation: evidence from China.

Can the adoption of information technology (IT) by firms drive green innovation and stimulate sustainable development? This paper employs a quasi-natural experiment, namely the "Pilot Zone for Integration of Informatization and Industrialization" in China, to evaluate the effect of IT on green innovation. Our findings reveal that IT significantly fosters the proliferation of green invention patents but has inconsequential impact on green utility model patents. Notably, the positive effects of IT on green innovation are further amplified when firms receive scrutiny from analysts. Moreover, IT can facilitate green innovation in the source-governance category of conventional energy and not only in end-of-pipe regulatory compliance. The study generates valuable insights regarding the utilization of information technology by firms as a means to facilitate green innovation.

The digital divide: Racial disparities in adoption and utilization of health information technology among patients with lymphoid cancers.

Health information technology (HIT) has the potential to improve healthcare delivery and engagement. Studying racial-ethnic disparities in HIT engagement will help understand and overcome challenges to healthcare utilization. We undertook a patient-reported survey among patients with lymphoid malignancies at two campuses of Mayo Clinic, Florida to explore HIT-related disparities. Variables between Whites and non-Whites, and non-Whites from the two campuses were compared. The survey was completed by 1004 respondents, with 71% whites, 27% non-Whites (race-ethnicity not reported by 2%). Non-Whites included 30% responders at the main campus and 64% at an inner-city campus. Whites were significantly older and had higher education, while non-Whites had lesser access to a computer. Only 51% of non-Whites were registered to use electronic medical records (EMR) as compared to 72% Whites (p < 0.001) and significantly lesser number of non-Whites even knew that EMR existed (81% vs. 92%, p < 0.001). Encouragingly, a higher number of non-Whites wanted to engage in EMR. Non-Whites from the main campus were older, more educated and had more access to a computer as compared to those from the inner-city campus. Similar disparate factors were noted among minorities from the two campuses, suggesting impact of socioeconomic backgrounds on EMR usage among non-Whites. Linguistic barriers were more striking among inner-city campus non-Whites. Non-Whites continue to struggle with suboptimal utilization of the healthcare system and barriers related to integration in HIT, including disparities representing socioeconomic differences. Efforts need to be made at several levels to help racial-ethnic minorities overcome awareness, access, and linguistic barriers to HIT utilization.

A STUDY ON ADOPTION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN SMALL ENTERPRISES

The Small businesses are considered the backbone of industrial development. They represent the economic development model and act as the engine of growth for the same, focusing on high contribution to domestic production, significant export revenues and influential contribution to foreign exchange. Small enterprises have to compete and survive with large enterprises, which is currently one of their biggest problems. One of the reasons for this disadvantage is that small enterprises lack information technology advantages. Mostly, these enterprises fail to use information technology in business operations, severely limiting their performance and survival. Businesses must have the adequate IT infrastructure to give them a competitive advantage. This leads to a mechanism that provides the right information at the right time and place. As the use of IT accelerates in business, rapid implementation of IT enabled services in small businesses is required. Information systems are important applications of information technology in business management. However, there are still problems in the implementation of IT by these small enterprises. This paper attempts to highlight the main factors and advantages in implementing and adopting information technology in small enterprises.

ICT Adoption and Factor Productivity of Manufacturing Firms in India

This paper examines the effect of information and communication technology (ICT) adoption on the factor productivity of the Indian manufacturing firms during 2010-19. The study focuses on the selfselection and endogenous effects of ICT adoption on capital-labour productivity and discusses strategies to capture untapped growth opportunities. We find that ICT adopters have greater stakes for survival and growth, have a larger proportion of tangible assets, and are intensively engaged in exporting and outreach. In addition, ICT adoption leads to a 155 percent growth in capital productivity and a 62 percent fall in labour productivity – leading to a net growth of 80 percent in the capital-labour productivity ratio.

Città intelligenti e neutralità climatica: verso la transizione energetica

The contribution discusses the goal of achieving global climate neutrality, focusing on the activities of cities, energy production, and consumption. Europe is committed to supporting a hundred selected cities in reaching climate neutrality by 2030 through the Mission Climate Neutral and Smart Cities. This commitment combines climate neutrality with the concept of smart cities, promoting innovation and setting an example for other cities to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. For the hundred cities, Europe envisions the use of financial tools, regulatory interventions, and a Climate City Contract, along with funds from the national recovery and resilience plans, which are expected to be suitably coordinated. Due to the continued high consumption of fossil fuels, and of their inevitable use in the coming – hopefully few - decades, efforts must be made to improve the efficiency of existing power plants and utilize less polluting fossil fuel sources. The use of renewable sources, particularly solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, becomes increasingly imperative. Gradual electrification of sectors emerges as a key strategy for the energy transition, considering the natural integration of these sources into the power grid. The use of hydrogen as an energy carrier and storage source, as well as ongoing research in nuclear energy, are additional essential elements contributing to the implementation of a diversified energy strategy deemed necessary. The widespread adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) and smart sector integration are also fundamental components of the energy transition. Renewable energy communities of prosumers, promoted by the European directives RED II and IEM of the Clean Energy Package, could potentially generate 20% of the energy consumed in cities by 2030, further emphasizing the importance of the electrical system and smart grids in this context.
