Syarat Subjektif Sahnya Perjanjian Menurut Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata (KUH PERDATA) Dikaitkan Dengan Perjanjian E-Commerce

When we are dealing with e-commerce agreements, we have to remember that this kind of agreement is unknown in Indonesian Civil Code. The possible thing that might cross through our mind is the legal subjective requirements for this kind of agreement based on the Indonesian Civil Code in its relation to e-commerce agreement. These agreements are emerging as a result of information and technology development. Any people can enter into a business agreement through electronic communication media without face-to-face interactions. The aims of this writing are to identify the process of agreements in e-commerce transactions and to be able to identify the relation between the legal subjective requirements and e-commerce agreements entered by minor legal subject. The normative legal research is applied in this writing by using secondary data and legislation approach. There is “offer and acceptance” process in e-commerce 2 agreements found in this research and in term of e-commerce agreement abrogation, only parents or guardians could ask for abrogation to the judge if minor legal subject is willing to cancel the agreement. In other word, an e-commerce agreement will remain valid for both sides if there is no abrogation submitted by parents or guardians.

Stuck In The Middle: A Meta-Analysis On Innovation In Virtual Teams And The Role Of Media Richness

Organizations increasingly rely on virtual teams, whose members are working together from different locations utilizing electronic communication media. Simultaneously, organizations are dependent on the generation and implementation of new ideas to keep solving the world's problems with innovative solutions. In this context, prior research approaches highlighted both positive and negative aspects of virtual team collaboration but has not come to a consensus of how it affects team innovation. Therefore, this meta-analysis synthesizes 178 independent samples including a total of 11.577 teams to obtain in-depth insights into the impact of virtuality on team innovation. Considering the integrated assessment of team virtuality through the dimensions of geographical dispersion, electronic dependence, and cultural distance, no significant effect on team innovation was revealed. Induced by the equivocal findings, factors that possibly moderate this relationship were investigated. In doing so, our emphasis was placed on the richness of the communication medium that transcends the virtuality between the team members and enables them to jointly work on innovative tasks. Our results indicate that the relationship between team virtuality and team innovation varies with using media of different kinds of richness. Thus, conclusions about media choice for innovative tasks in virtual teams can be drawn.

‘Electronic communications media: how to regulate the hate!’

ABSTRACT Information technology presents the law with ongoing challenges because of its ability to capture, debate and discuss the most intimate aspects of peoples’ lives. This article will consider whether, given the ease and lack of thought processes behind many online communications, the current statutory regulations in the UK are fit for purpose. In particular, it evaluates the consequences of adapting legislation to cover situations that the legislation was never intended to address. The Malicious Communications Act 1988, for example, was originally intended to cover offences that require contemplation and a series of actions and steps in order to make them out. This aspect of calculated and targeted harm is a significant feature of the offence: for example, letters need to be written, addressed, stamped, and posted. However, given the ease and lack of thought processes behind many online communications, extending the legislation to capture this new medium represents a stark transformation of the criminal sanction originally intended and has led to confusion at law. Furthermore, extending the Communications Act 2003 has not been the panacea many expected, and this will be evaluated in tandem. Conclusions will be drawn about the aptitude of the legislation for dealing with the complexities of online communications. .

Fixation in Visual Communication: Ideational Issues

World development has fostered the effectiveness of utilizing visuals in print and electronic media communication. The visuals for communication are crafted through the ideation process to the final execution of the project. In completing a design project, ideation must be successfully carried out. But sometimes, there are instances where the process is hindered since designers may want to settle for comfort zones and thus become fixated on ideas. This study therefore aims at exploring the challenges associated with design fixation in ideation in the local setting and how to mitigate them. Using interviews and observation in a qualitative inquiry, the researchers examined the phenomenon under study with the aid of the Ideation Activity Model as a theoretical lens. The study revealed an insightful relationship between designers, tools (manual and digital), design process, ideation techniques, client, design team, and the outcome of a designer’s activity during ideation. Four major themes that affect design fixation were discovered: the Designer’s background, Digital Ideation, Client and Designer tensions, and Fixation type.

Predictors of Problematic Social Media Use in a Nationally Representative Sample of Adolescents in Luxembourg.

Social media use has increased substantially over the past decades, especially among adolescents. A proportion of adolescents develop a pattern of problematic social media use (PSMU). Predictors of PSMU are insufficiently understood and researched. This study aims to investigate predictors of PSMU in a nationally representative sample of adolescents in Luxembourg. Data from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) study in Luxembourg were used, in which 8687 students aged 11–18 years old participated. The data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. A range of sociodemographic, social support, well-being and media use predictors were added to the model in four blocks. The predictors in the final model explained 22.3% of the variance in PSMU. The block of sociodemographic predictors explained the lowest proportion of variance in PSMU compared with the other blocks. Age negatively predicted PSMU. Of the predictors related to social support, cyberbullying perpetration was the strongest predictor of PSMU. Perceived stress and psychosomatic complaints positively predicted PSMU. The intensity of electronic media communication and preference for online social interaction were stronger predictors of PSMU than the other predictors in the model. The results indicate that prevention efforts need to consider the diverse range of predictors related to PSMU.

The Beautiful and the Fit Reap the Spoils: Body Image as a Condition for the Positive Effects of Electronic Media Communication on Well-being Among Early Adolescents

The effects of electronic media communication (EMC) and social media on young people’s health and well-being remain under debate, with no conclusive evidence on the connection between the two. By using data on 1,843 early adolescents aged 12–17 years provided by the Danish Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models and by measuring the intensity of EMC instead of the time spent on social media, the study finds that early adolescents tend to experience greater feelings of well-being with a higher intensity of EMC. However, this relationship is conditional. A negative perceptual body image acts as a moderator of the relationship between the intensity of EMC and well-being, whereas the positive relationship between EMC disappears under the condition of a negative body image. These findings provide nuance to the debates on the ways in which EMC affects young people.

Virtual team professional learning and development for practitioners in education

ABSTRACT Surprisingly little has been written about the notion of virtual teams in schooling contexts and less on the role of virtual teams in the professional learning and development (PLD) of teachers. Virtual teams are groups that use technologies to collaborate to address common goals. Members may work at in different locations, in different organisations, or at different times so that the electronic communication media becomes an important feature in the feasibility of the work. Increasingly, technologies are used to support practitioners’ (leaders and teachers) professional learning. In this conceptual article, we draw on research literature from online and blended professional learning and development to conceptualise what is important to consider when establishing virtual teams for the purpose of practitioners’ learning. Specifically, we address the question: what are the characteristics of virtual teams that can serve the purpose of professional learning and development in schools? A technology-enriched planning model for institutions with an interest in establishing and maintaining a virtual team approach to PLD (VTPLD) is provided. We consider three strategic characteristics for PLD: (relevance, collaboration and a future focus) to address how virtual teams can support professional learning for teachers.

Cyberbullying and Electronic Media Communication problematic use in Piedmont. Data from HBSC study

Abstract Background Cyberbullying seems to be an emerging public health issue worldwide. Several mental health problems have been reported in adolescents exposed to it. Spreading of smartphones and social networks in youths, requires to explore the eventually Electronic Media Communication (EMC) problematic use, in order to identify potentially negative health consequences in adolescents. This study aims to illustrate cyberbullying and to investigate whether an EMC inappropriate use could implicate an increased cybervictimization risk. Methods Data were collected as part of the Italian 2018 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study for the Piedmont region, which involved 3022 children of 11, 13 and 15 years old. Prevalence of cybervictimization, cyberbullying and EMC problematic use were estimated in subgroups defined by age and gender. The link between EMC problematic use and cyber-victimization/bullying was examined through a multivariate logistic regression. Results The average frequency of cybervictimization in Piedmont was low (7,4%), in line with the average distribution in Italy. 13 years old girls reported the highest proportions of both cybervictimization and EMC problematic use (10,30% and 12,08% respectively). Adolescents who reported EMC problematic use showed an increased risk of cybervictimization (OR = 2,45; p < 0,05). Conclusions Despite the low prevalence of cyberbullying in Italy, our data showed a greater risk of cybervictimization when the EMC use is inappropriate. Further investigations, starting from the HBSC study, are required to explore the cyberbullying phenomenon in depth. Key messages Cybervictimization risk is higher in EMC problematic use. Public health intervention and educational programs are deemed necessary for a more responsible EMC use, in order to prevent cyberbullying and mental health problems in adolescents.

The use of posts in endodontically treated teeth among Nepalese Prosthodontists.

Introduction: One of the most studied and researched subjects in dentistry is the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. The success of an endodontically treated tooth depends not only good endodontic therapy but is equally if not more dependent on the nature, type, and execution of post-endodontic restorations. The purpose of this study was to know the opinions, techniques, and materials used by Nepalese Prosthodontists for restoring endodontically treated teeth with a post.
 Materials and Methods: A nationwide survey was performed among Nepalese Prosthodontists through electronic communication media by distributing a questionnaire to find out the various treatment strategies, post types, and materials being used by them. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the responses given by the Prosthodontists by using SPSS statistical software package (version 21.0).
 Results: A total of 69 returned questionnaires out of the 114 sent were included in the study. The majority of the respondents were in the age group of 31-40 yrs (70.6%, N=48). 51% of the respondents were male and 49% were female. Out of the responses analyzed, 91% (N=63) think that the primary purpose of a post is to retain a core. The quantity of remaining tooth structure affects the decision to place a post (98.5%, N=68). The ideal post length for 81.2% (N=56) respondents was 2/3rd the root length. 55% (N=38) of respondents think that 4-5mm of apical Gutta Percha should be left during post space preparation. The preferred type of post was custom cast metal post for 69.5 % (N=48) and prefabricated fiber-reinforced post for 66.6% (N=46).55% (N=38) of respondents preferred the passive type of post. Out of the respondents, 72% (N=50) were using Glass Ionomer Cement for cementing cast posts and 91% (N=63) of them were using resin cement for fiber-reinforced posts. The most popular core build-up material was dual-cured composite resin (63.8%, N=44).
 Conclusion: Although the results obtained cannot give a definitive guide for restoration of endodontically treated teeth with a post, it pictures how the Nepalese Prosthodontists are practicing posts for restoring endodontically treated teeth. The varied responses obtained here can be taken into consideration to conclude that the preference of techniques and materials depends upon the individual clinician and the clinical scenario.
