ShareChain: Blockchain‐enabled model for sharing patient data using federated learning and differential privacy

AbstractEvery individual in our technologically evolved world needs proper data security. The procedure of exchanging medical information is increasingly concerned with data privacy. Many techniques have been offered for preserving data security. These techniques use approaches such as ‐anonymity, ‐diversity, and others. However, such solutions are vulnerable to attribute disclosure, homogeneity, and background knowledge risks due to their syntactic nature. In this work, we describe a safe and secure architecture and semantic approach for data sharing that is based on blockchain, local differential privacy (LDP), and federated learning (FL). The proposed framework generates an atmosphere devoid of trust in which data owners are no longer required to have trust in the controllers. The FL models enable the whole network to decentralize its data‐driven learning. Interplanetary file system (IPFS) is used to provide data security in a distributed environment because each file in IPFS has a digital fingerprint that is computed using a cryptographic hash function on the file's whole contents. Due to the rigorous privacy guarantee, data owners no longer need to be worried about the security of their data. The proposed model's assessment parameters include latency, throughput, privacy, and accuracy. The data privacy of the proposed model is protected via LDP and FL, and its latency and throughput communication transactions on permissioned blockchain are calculated and compared with those of the benchmark model. The findings indicate that the proposed model delivers 85% more accurate privacy than the benchmark model.

Transactional Communication of Garut People in Dealing with Potential Natural Disaster

Villages in West Java are some of the most hydrometeorology disaster-prone areas. Giri Awas in Garut is one of the villages in West Java whose area is located on the hills of mountain slopes. Some areas have undergone transfer from the forest into the plantation, which caused a higher risk of flood and landslides. This research aimed to identify how the communication is carried out by villagers to mitigate the risk of disaster. This research uses the concept of a transactional communication model with a descriptive qualitative method by collecting data through interviews and field observation. The researchers found the transactional communication model as the effort for disaster risk mitigation has been conducted by the village apparatus toward society. However, some aspects of transactional communication have not been optimally done. It has not been conducted continually, and messages related to disaster experiences in the past have not been communicated to the whole society. There are some unused potentials of the people to support the sustainability of transactional communication by utilizing local culture and other social groups. Optimizing society’s potential can support the negotiation of meaning between local government and society.

The Phenomenon of Parental Rules in Middle Childhood: A Relational Perspective

This study investigated neglected processes by which parents create, set, and enforce rules for their children in middle childhood. Forty mothers reported their interactions with children aged 9-13 in the context of setting and enforcing rules and expectations. Data consisted of a five-day digital event diary and a semi-structured interview on parents’ implicit conceptions of rules and the process by which they set and enforced rules. The data were analyzed qualitatively using thematic analysis. Mothers’ reports departed from traditional conceptions in socialization research and family interventions that parents have explicit, stable rules that they should firmly enforce. Mothers indicated that their rules and expectations consisted of a flexible structure of infrequent firm expectations within which most other expectations were dynamically set or offered leeway for negotiation and resistance. Mothers also indicated that their rules and expectations emerged through a co-regulated bi-directional process to which parents and children contributed. The findings support transactional socialization and communication perspectives whereby parents interpret children’s behaviors and make complex choices in setting and implementing their expectations.

A video-based study of student teachers' participation and content processing in cooperative group work

In the present study, video data was used to examine the effects of structuring procedures in cooperative learning on student teachers' interactions during group work. Using quantitative content analyses, we analyzed videos of students working on complex case-based tasks with regard to their active participation in the group discussions, use of conceptual knowledge and transactive communication during concept-based talk. In addition, we assessed students' individual case knowledge after they finished the group work. Two-level analyses revealed that student teachers in high-structure cooperative learning groups used more concept-driven ideas to solve the case than students in low-structure cooperative learning groups. They also referred to the ideas of other group members more often and externalized their ideas more without referring to each other. Students in high-structure cooperative learning groups gained more case-related knowledge than those in low-structure cooperative learning groups. No difference between conditions was detected for students' active participation in the group work. These findings indicate that emphasizing interdependence and accountability in cooperative groups might not increase the intensity of students' case discussion but does improve its quality.

How are the Sociolinguistic Competences applied in the English Textbook?

Promoting the sociolinguistic competences in the teaching process is vital since the students are required to use English for real-life communication. One of ways that teachers can do is by inserting sociolinguistic competences in their teaching materials. However, rarely did they focus on the sociolinguistic competences. Therefore, this content analysis research aims to void this gap by analyzing the use of sociolinguistic competences in the textbook entitled “Let’s Talk”. The result shows that the textbook has already applied the sociolinguistic competences in the dialogs including the social factors, speech functions, and Leech’s Politeness Principles (PP). To summarize, textbooks should provide more dialogue models with diverse sociolinguistic contexts for practicing interactional and transactional communication. At that time, the learners would have been exposed to learn effective language use, as well as fluency practice and language accuracy, as these are prerequisites for achieving communicative competence goals.

Implementation of the of Lifelong Learning Principles as a Background for Quality Specialized Education of Journalists

The need for lifelong education is urged in the context of constant social transformations, unprecedented challenges, total digitalization of communicative transactions, virtualization of many types of professional activity. Journalism is one of the most sensitive to transformational challenges. Therefore, a journalist must respond objectively, flexibly, tolerantly, adequately, professionally, responsibly and social transformations and challenges to the current realities. To do this, he/she must be prepared for lifelong learning. It is the journalist’s readiness for lifelong learning that is an indicator of the quality of his/her specialized education. The research aimed to empirically establish the skills of journalists related to lifelong learning, and to develop a programme for the implementation of the lifelong learning principles in the professional training of journalists. General scientific methods, surveys of research respondents, qualitative and quantitative analysis of the obtained data, modelling are the methods used. A model of modern journalist training in the context of lifelong learning was formed, a program for the implementation of lifelong learning principles in specialized education of journalists was developed. The results of the research can be used for the development of individual trainings, seminars, compilation of collections of didactic tools for the formation of the ability of modern journalists to education throughout life. Prospects for further research in this area are: experimental testing of our proposed program for the implementation of the principles of lifelong learning in the training of journalists; development of diagnostic tools to establish the levels of readiness of journalism students and practicing journalists for lifelong learning.

Effects of E-Government Policy on the Management of Healthcare Systems.

E-government began by addressing the challenges of new technologies by delivering e-services to its citizens and has since evolved to include a growing number of areas, such as citizen communication, macroeconomic projections, budget management, and e-healthcare services. E-government is known as the use of information technology to provide administrative services, communication transactions, information exchange, integration of various electronic systems, and autonomous services between the government and citizens, the government and business environment, and the government and government. This paper discusses the role of E-government policy in healthcare crises during COVID 19. Data collected from 435 employees in the tourism industry of Iraq was used to verify the abovementioned relationships via SPSS macro. The results indicate that E-government policy has a significant effect on healthcare crises; job insecurity negatively predicted healthcare crises. The results revealed that social support moderated the relationship between E-government policy and job insecurity. Results of the study contributed to the theory within this study by demonstrating that employees who enjoy a high level of social support show less job insecurity than those with a low level of social support.

From petishism to rewilding: Representations of wildlife in interactive media

Safari Central, an augmented reality app that seeks to ‘rewild’ (or reconnect) wildlife with people, lets users take photographs with six virtual animals that are based on real-life animals. I argue that these representations of animals are an example of petishizationPetishism includes overidentifying with an animal, an emphasis on dominance over animals and over-representing of certain traits of animals. I trace these qualities of petishism across three other popular forms of interactive media that have the same goal of facilitating care (Tamagotchi, Pokémon and Zoo Tycoon) to discuss the ways in which Safari Central replicates earlier designs. I argue that to better facilitate care between people and animals, designers of interactive media should consider alternate conceptions of care and use Julie theory of performance ethics. Performance ethics understands animals’ performances as communicative transactions and positions humans as listeners. I conclude by proposing alternate designs that incorporate performance ethics and alternate conceptions of care into interactive media.

The effectiveness of hybrid learning as instructional media amid the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has struck the world, prompting the enforcement of stay-at-home policies to halt the spread of COVID-19. Indonesia is not exempted from this situation. The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated social distance due to social distancing, quarantine, and isolation to minimise the spread of the virus. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an online learning system was used. The ideal learning methods in the new normal era are blended learning and hybrid learning methods. Online learning demands the attention of the communicant so that the message conveyed by the communicator can run effectively. If hybrid learning as an instructional medium can be appropriately utilised, the learning objectives can be achieved. However, in previous studies, the blended learning method still needs to be evaluated so that its application can run well and as expected. Because communication transactions that can overcome various frames of reference or clarify difficulties to transfer understanding in a timely manner are considered rich, the media richness theory is applied in this study. This study aims to know how effective hybrid learning is in Southeast Sulawesi during the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used in this research is phenomenology by involving junior high school teachers in Southeast Sulawesi. Based on this study’s data analysis findings, the Effectiveness of the hybrid learning model in Southeast Sulawesi during the COVID-19 outbreak is decided by students’ and parents’ desire to monitor their children.

Examining Heterogeneity Structured on a Large Data Volume with Minimal Incompleteness

While Big Data analytics can provide a variety of benefits, processing heterogeneous data comes with its own set of limitations. A transaction pattern must be studied independently while working with Bitcoin data, this study examines twitter data related to Bitcoin and investigate communications pattern on bitcoin transactional tweet. Using the hashtags #Bitcoin or #BTC on Twitter, a vast amount of data was gathered, which was mined to uncover a pattern that everyone either (speculators, teaches, or the stakeholders) uses on Twitter to discuss Bitcoin transactions. This aim is to determine the direction of Bitcoin transaction tweets based on historical data. As a result, this research proposes using Big Data analytics to track Bitcoin transaction communications in tweets in order to discover a pattern. Hadoop platform MapReduce was used. The finding indicate that In the map step of the procedure, Hadoop's tokenize the dataset and parse them to the mapper where thirteen patterns were established and reduced to three patterns using the attributes previously stored data in the Hadoop context, one of which is the Emoji data that was left out in previous research discussions, but the text is only one piece of the puzzle on bitcoin transaction interaction, and the key part of it is “No certainty, only possibilities” in Bitcoin transactions

Communication Strategy of Agricultural Extension to Motivating and Fostering Sustainable Food Yard Farmer Women’s Group in Binjai City

This study aims to analyze the communication strategies carried out by Agricultural Extension Officers (PPL) to motivating and fostering the sustainable food yard Farming Women’s Group (KWT) in Binjai city. The research method used is qualitative methods with interpretive descriptive studies. Determination of research informants by purposive sample. Collecting research data through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. The results showed that the Communication Strategy of Agricultural Extension Officers (PPL) in motivating the Women Farmers Group (KWT) in Binjai City is carried out by means of coordination, identify ideas and interests, visits, reducing distance, establishing familiarity using light communication, being listeners and giving awards. The communication strategy of Agricultural Extension Officers (PPL) in fostering the Women Farmers Group (KWT) is carried out by introducing the public through identification of community conditions and potential areas, compiling materials / messages based on field needs, determining the method of delivering messages, selecting and using the media by face to face through the group and individual approaches and making scheduled meetings. The communication process runs effectively with one-way communication between the PPL and the women farmer groups and transaction communication with the discussion / sharing groups to exchange knowledge between groups of women farmers. The communication process carried out by the Agricultural Extension Officers (PPL) fosters attention, interest, desire, decision and action. Inhibiting factors in developing sustainable food garden activities, namely technical obstacles in the form of adjustments to the time of guidance and ecological obstacles during the Covid-19 pandemic, there were no group coaching activities.

A Survey On Securing Internet Of Medical Things Using Blockchain

: In this project, we provide a solution to protect and secure the patient records and data against various attacks using the technology of blockchain. We use the fully decentralized blockchain. Also, digital signatures are used for model updates. Therefore, we hold that adversaries are not able to fabricate digital signatures or take control of the majority of the network. Furthermore, an adversary cannot poison the data because it is stored off-chain rather on the public ledger. There are only pointers information encrypted with a hash function inside a public ledger. In problems of large-grid-level centralized transactions and dispatch centers with information asymmetry and high processing costs, the proposal of a completely decentralized transaction architecture and a weak centralized scheduling strategy based on block-chain is done. Firstly, the defined concepts of transaction decentralization and scheduling decentralization are given, and the reliability of distributed transaction communication is studied. Based on the communication credit consensus mechanism, built a blockchain transaction risk control model. Secondly, security checks are performed under the weakly centralized scheduling architecture based on the autonomous chain of substations, and temporary central nodes are set up to perform scheduling tasks. Finally, an optimal solution is obtained by dynamically updating the credibility by using an improved evolutionary algorithm to solve the above model.

Applying Transcript Based Lesson Analysis in Enhancing Communication Pattern between Teacher and Students in Chemistry Classroom

<p style="text-align:justify">Transcript Based Lesson Analysis (TBLA) is a transcript-based learning analysis method developed at Nagoya University, Japan. This new method is believed to justify the success of instructional design planned by the teacher. So far, the success of learning design has been reflected in student learning outcomes, even though the learning outcome data are not sufficient to provide an overview of the actual classroom conditions. This study aims to analyse the communication patterns in learning Chemistry using the TBLA method. This research is a descriptive qualitative study that analysed the lesson of Chemical Bonds and Carbon Atoms Characteristics, which were conducted in two Senior High Schools in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The data were collected using observation and documentation study. The lessons recorded using cameras and camcorders devices were transcribed and analysed using the Excel program based on the number of words spoken by teachers and students and the frequency of keywords in learning chemistry. The data were transformed into graphs. The results showed that analysis using TBLA provided integrated information about communication patterns and classroom quality. In these two classes, communication pattern occurs in Chemistry learning was teacher-student interaction only. The multi-ways transactions pattern has not occurred. The low quality of teacher questions and the incomplete deep learning phase in learning chemistry caused the expected multi-directional transaction communication has not been conducted. The result implies that TBLA is an effective tool to reflect on teacher practices and improve their teaching process for better instructional practices.</p>

Arrogant or caring? Influence of transactive communication in interprofessional learning on knowledge gains and stereotype changes.

Objective: In interprofessional peer tutoring, medical students and physiotherapy trainees teach and practice examination techniques and work out profession-specific similarities and differences. In small interprofessional groups, we investigated the influence of transactive communication – alternately referring to and building on the statements made by the dialogue partner in the process of conveying information – on knowledge gains and changes in stereotypes of the other profession.Methods: A total of 132 medical students and 48 physiotherapy trainees divided into 24 small interprofessional groups indicated the extent of their stereotypes of the other profession before and after the practice session, as well as their perceived increase in knowledge. They evaluated the group work and the perceived intensity of transactive communication. We used regression analyses to test the hypotheses.Results: The intensity of transactive communication in the physiotherapy trainees was positively related to knowledge gains in the medical students. However, this did not apply to the knowledge gains in physiotherapy trainees. With regard to stereotype changes, the intensity of one's own transactive communication unexpectedly turned out to be a significant, albeit weak, influencing factor: The more intensive one's own transactive communication was, the more negative the stereotypes of the other profession became.Conclusion: Transactive communication in interprofessional groups can improve the exchange of knowledge in peer tutoring and bring about changes in stereotypes. Measures to improve transactive communication, e.g. training sessions or specific communication exercises, could help to improve the effectiveness of interprofessional learning.

Effectiveness of Transactional Communication in the Implementation of Collegiate Curriculum

The interaction between lecturers and students will be effective if delivered through transactional communication so that they can mutually encode and decode what is communicated about learning. In today’s development of the era of digital communication technology, students tend to get instant learning resources by using their gadgets instead of communicating with their lecturers. The implementation of collegiate curriculum refers to the Indonesian national qualification framework (KKNI) which will be effective with the student centered learning (SCL) approach. Lecturers act as active facilitators and students are active, mutually meaningful communication occurs so that the application of collegiate curriculum can be effectively achieved. The purpose of this study is to have description about how transactional communication is implemented in achieving learning effectiveness. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study research approach. The research paradigm is constructivism. The theories used are cognitive theory and behavioral theory. The results of the research show that the implementation of the Collegiate Curriculum, namely planning, implementation, learning and learning outcomes are effective by using transactional communication

STRUKTUR DAN PERAN ANEKA LEMBAGA DALAM RANTAI PASOK TERNAK DAN DAGING SAPI POTONG DI PROVINSI NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR (Structure and role of of various institutions in supply chain of cattle and beef comodities in East Nusa Tenggara Province)

The structure and role of each specific institution in the supply chain management of local cattle marketing need to be known in detail and comprehensively. The objectives were: 1) to describe the various institutional roles in the supply chain management of livestock and beef in Kupang District and Kupang City, NTT; and 2) to formulate efforts to improve the institutional performance of the livestock and beef supply chain in Kupang District, NTT. Surveys of institutions related to supply chain management of beef cattle in a comprehensive manner, covering all stakeholders (farmers, livestock traders, butchers, meat traders, animal markets, slaughterhouses, animal quarantine, sea freight expeditions, etc.). Data were analyzed descriptively- qualitatively and quantitatively, analysis of costs , benefits and margin of each marketing actor. As conclusions were: 1) The role of institutions in the supply chain management of cattle / beef in Kupang Regency is slowly starting to form a solid network according to the roles of the parties. However, they still have problems in terms of smooth communication and interaction in transactions at each point of the supply chain, especially the point between farmers and village traders regarding price determination; and 2) the institutional performance of cattle/ beef supply chain as a whole to ensure the interests of all stakeholders not optimal yet, in particular related to improve the group transaction methods, benchmark prices, controlling the sale of young females, preventing the slaughter of productive females, strict quarantine, and the availability of large capacity livestock vessels.
