Peculiarities of The Economic Crimes Committed with the Use of Information Technologies

The article looks into peculiarities of the economic crimes committed using information technologies. Different approaches to the concept of the economic crime are analyzed to reveal types of economic crimes, which can be committed with the use of information technologies. It is stated that mostly two types of economic crimes could be committed using information technologies – online fraud and forgery. Subjects and objects of a forgery committed with the use of information technologies are analyzed. Close attention is paid to the online fraud and its specific features. The classification of types of the Internet fraud is made. Some specific characteristics of certain types of the Internet fraud are given in the article. Such types of the Internet fraud as spam, carding, phishing, fraud in online games are described. The main method used in the investigation is the method of comparative analysis, which was used to reveal differences between traditional economic crimes and economic crimes committed with the use if information technologies. The general conclusion was made that economic crimes committed with help of information technologies have a number of differences compared to traditional ones. These differences determine the features of the investigation of such crimes. In particular, such features are manifested in the implementation of operational and investigative measures and investigative actions.

Modern legal research in the field of digitalization and their application in legal science and legal education

The article is devoted to the issue of scientific and legal support of the functioning of e-economy as a system of economic relations, formed in electronic form with the help of information and communication technologies, and its inherent e-business as entrepreneurship, initiation, direct implementation and termination form). Given the novelty of relations related to the use of information and communication systems in the economy of Ukraine, their regulation was initiated recently (the main act — the Law «On e-commerce» of 03.09.2015), but is fragmentary (applies only one component of e-business — e-commerce, ie sales for a fee of goods/works/services). Norms on the organization and conduct of e-business, including the rights and responsibilities of its subjects, are scattered in various acts of legislation (Commercial Code, Tax Code, laws «On electronic documents and electronic document management», «On electronic digital signature», «On Public Procurement», «On Joint Stock Companies», «On Securities and Stock Market», «On Access to Public Information», etc.), which led to their duplication, conflicts and, at the same time, did not ensure proper systematization and completeness of regulation, as well as taking into account positive foreign experience, including international (Okinawa Charter of the Global Information Society, 2000; Geneva, 2003 and Tunis, 2005 World Summits on the Information Society, European Strategy for Interaction, 2008, European framework programs on these issues). The effective functioning of the e-economy and e-business as its component involves solving a complex problem: 1) optimal regulatory regulation of relations in this area; 2) effective legal mechanisms for its implementation; 3) ensuring the stability of relations in law enforcement practice (mechanisms to prevent and stop unfair behavior in this area). The development of a holistic concept of legal support of the electronic economy involves: the integration of already existing achievements of modern Ukrainian legal science (primarily, the theory of law, commercial law, civil law, information law); updating scientific knowledge about methods of regulating relations in the field of economy, taking into account the electronic form of doing business; analogy of law; problems of ensuring the balance of public and private interests, as well as the principles of reasonableness, good faith and justice in this area; legal and social responsibility of business, etc. The current practice of applying e-commerce legislation shows its inefficiency, which destabilizes property turnover, allowing unscrupulous e-business representatives to avoid fulfilling their obligations, violating the rights of contractors and, above all, consumers. It is also about the need to introduce research into the educational process in order to form the appropriate abilities and competencies of higher education. Key words: information society; information and telecommunication systems; electronic economy; electronic market; e-commerce; e-business; electronic transactions; consumer protection.

Securing Library and Information Resources: The Situation in Two State University Libraries in Cameroon

Information services such as the library, under normal international standards should consider safety and security of its infrastructure and resources (human resources inclusive) as part of its workflow. Information is expanding and covering untold grounds every day and information bearing facilities are equally being transformed with the help of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) whose evolution seem to know no bounds. This trend is not only changing the role of the Library and Information Professional but urging this professional to ensure the security of access to the information resources platform. Thus it is not only worthwhile to collect, organize and make accessible information resources but it is equally important to secure these resources to last long and prevent unauthorized and unethical access. This therefore calls for a carefully developed security policy for every information service that can be updated as knowledge expands and the ICT platform continue to expand and evolve. Such a policy should be well thought out to cover all the forms information takes and include, print, electronic and graphics. It should equally include securing the human resources implicated in the running and using of the Library services. This paper is an investigation of the challenges faced in securing information resources in public university libraries in Anglophone Cameroon. The research design used for the study is a survey with data collecting instruments made of a questionnaire and an interview guide from library staff and library administrators respectively. Three main research questions were coined for the study having as thrust the following: security challenges faced, security policies put in place to secure library resources and difficulties libraries face in providing appropriate security and how these difficulties could be solved. The analysis of the data collected was done by a simple calculation of the percentages of the responses of the respondents to determine the threats and the extent of each threat. Academic libraries have been plagued with security issues for a long time. It is difficult to replace materials that are under security threats in libraries. Theft, mutilation and unauthorised access to libraries and their resources constitute serious problems which affect users. It is important that libraries with physical security systems reinforce these systems with electronic security systems. More effort is needed to properly train and encourage staff to be security conscious and to take the necessary precautionary measures. It is anticipated that if the right measures are put in place to resolve library security issues, libraries would be able to better protect their resources and render better services.

3AS: Authentication, Authorization, and Accountability for SDN-Based Smart Grids

Smart grid refers to the advancement of the current electric grid with the help of information and communication technologies. In such scenarios, an efficient and secure smart grid communication system is essential. Accordingly, Software-Defined Networks (SDN) have been gaining more prominence for smart grids in recent years, as this paradigm allows monitoring and managing these communication networks efficiently. An example is the Autonomic and Resilient Framework for Smart Grids (ARES). ARES allows integration between the supervisory system and the SDN controller, allowing for better energy applications. Although ARES emphasizes the need for security as a premise for its implementation, it does not provide a concrete implementation of this aspect. In this work, we provide an extensive review of the related literature about Authentication, Authorization, and Accountability (AAA) for smart grids, classifying approaches according to several relevant characteristics. We further propose 3AS, extending the ARES framework with a security component based on the IEEE 802.1X standard. 3AS has been implemented on the Ryu SDN controller and evaluated in an emulated environment. Results indicate 3AS successfully provides authentication, authorization, and accountability with low control load and delay, thus being suitable for diverse smart grid scenarios.

Personal health information management among healthy older adults: Varying needs and approaches.

With age, older adults experience a greater number of chronic diseases and medical visits, and an increased need to manage their health information. Technological advances in consumer health information technologies (HITs) help patients gather, track, and organize their health information within and outside of clinical settings. However, HITs have not focused on the needs of older adults and their caregivers. The goal of the SOARING (Studying Older Adults and Researching their Information Needs and Goals) Project was to understand older adult personal health information management (PHIM) needs and practices to inform the design of HITs that support older adults. Drawing on the Work System Model, we took an ecological approach to investigate PHIM needs and practices of older adults in different residential settings. We conducted in-depth interviews and surveys with adults 60 years of age and older. We performed on-site in-person interview sessions with 88 generally healthy older adults in various settings including independent housing, retirement communities, assisted living, and homelessness. Our analysis revealed 5 key PHIM activities that older adults engage in: seeking, tracking, organizing, sharing health information, and emergency planning. We identified 3 major themes influencing older adults' practice of PHIM: (1) older adults are most concerned with maintaining health and preventing illness, (2) older adults frequently involve others in PHIM activities, and (3) older adults' approach to PHIM is situational and context-dependent. Older adults' approaches to PHIM are dynamic and sensitive to changes in health, social networks, personal habits, motivations, and goals. PHIM tools that meet the needs of older adults should accommodate the dynamic nature of aging and variations in individual, organizational, and social contexts.

Demand Management of Station-Based Car Sharing System Based on Deep Learning Forecasting

Metropolitan development has motivated car sharing into an attractive type of car leasing with the help of information technologies. In this paper, we propose a new approach based on deep learning techniques to assess the operation of a station-based car sharing system. First, we analyse the pick-up and drop-off operations of the station-based car sharing system, capturing the operational features of car sharing service and the behaviours of vehicle use from a temporal perspective. Then, we introduced an analytical system to detect the system operation concerning the spontaneous deviations derived from user demands from service provisions. We employed Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) structure to forecast short-term future vehicle uses. An experimental case based on real-world data is reported to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. The results prove that the proposed structure generates high-quality predictions and the operation status derived from user demands.
