KOMPARASI ALGORITMA NAIVE BAYES DAN K-NEAREST NEIGHBOR PADA ANALISIS SENTIMEN TERHADAP ULASAN PENGGUNA APLIKASI TOKOPEDIA

Tokopedia is one of the leading e-commerce platforms in Indonesia. The use of e-commerce platforms has increased rapidly in recent years. This is due to technological advances, increased internet access, and consumer behavior that prefers to shop online. In today's digital era, user reviews have an increasingly important role in shaping consumer perceptions of a product or service. The purpose of this research is to conduct sentiment analysis on application performance based on user reviews of the Tokopedia application. Researchers made the decision to use sentiment analysis because it is the most suitable method for processing data sets. From 1019 Tokopedia user reviews on the Play Store that were collected, 176 positive reviews and 843 negative reviews were obtained. Then, the data is classified using the Naive Bayes and K-Nearest Neighbor algorithms, then optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization. The results of the research conducted obtained an accuracy of 76.30% for the Naive Bayes accuracy value without feature selection, 74.09% for Naive Bayes results using feature selection. Then the accuracy value obtained for K-Nearest Neighbor without feature selection is 83.10%, and with feature selection is 83.53%. From the results obtained, the effect of using Particle Swarm Optimization selection features on the two algorithms does not have a big impact, there is an insignificant change in accuracy and AUC values which in the Naïve Bayes algorithm actually decreases

Offline and hungry: the effect of internet use on the food insecurity of Indonesian agricultural households

Food insecurity is essential since its prevalence may hinder an individual or an economy from developing. The issue still lacks attention in Indonesia, as reflected in the lagging efforts to reduce food insecurity. Meanwhile, several previous studies have found that increasing internet access may decrease food insecurity. Using a sample of 140,892 agricultural households from the National Socioeconomic Survey data, this study uses quantitative measures to evaluate the effects of internet use on the food insecurity of Indonesian agricultural households. The present study uses raw and Rasch scores to measure food insecurity, based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale question items. To estimate the effect of internet use on food insecurity, this study uses the two-stage least square estimation with topography as the instrumental variable, which is important due to the existence of an endogeneity problem. The present research also evaluates the possible mediating effect between internet use and food insecurity through households’ per capita income. Findings reveal that internet use negatively affects agricultural households’ food insecurity. This study also demonstrates that internet use can lower food insecurity in agricultural households through the mediating effects of income. From these results, policy implications are as follows; prioritization of internet infrastructure in remote areas, dissemination of information to enhance the production of agricultural households, and efforts to increase internet use among agricultural households.

Pulling through elections by pulling the plug: Internet disruptions and electoral violence in Uganda

Does increasing Internet access and use challenge authoritarian elections? I argue that Internet access provides both opposition supporters and government authorities with new means to shape electoral conduct. Opposition supporters can use the Internet to report on electoral malpractice and mobilize for support. At the same time government authorities can use the Internet to monitor antiregime sentiment prior to the elections and disrupt Internet access to selectively repress regime opponents during the elections. Studying Uganda’s 2016 presidential elections, evidence from election monitoring and survey data suggests that electoral violence is significantly higher in opposition strongholds with greater Internet access prior to the Internet disruption and is targeted specifically at voters. Insights from qualitative interviews with politicians, journalists and activists underline that the disruption of Internet access indeed hindered opposition supporters to effectively challenge electoral malpractice. Overall, the results stress the important role that Internet access can play for opposition actors in authoritarian elections. At the same time, they highlight their susceptibility to manipulation by government authorities.

THE EFFECT OF FINANCIAL LITERACY AND SELF-EFFICACY ON INTEREST IN USING PEER TO PEER LENDING AMONG MILLENNIALS

Interest in using peer to peer lending (P2P) is a drive that comes from within a person to make online loans. Along with increasing internet access and device users in Indonesia, P2P service customers also show a significant increase every year. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of financial literacy and self-efficacy on interest in using peer to peer lending. This study uses an explanatory design on 234 samples of millennial generation in Jabodetabek selected through purposive sampling technique with online data collection method. Data processing and analysis were conducted using Microsoft Excel 2010 software and IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 22.0. The process of coding, editing, scoring, entering and cleaning data was carried out using the Microsoft Excel 2010 program. The results showed that financial literacy and self-efficacy were in the moderate category, while interest in use was categorized as low. Regression tests show that the number of dependents, types of debt loans, and attitudes towards P2P lending have a significant positive effect on interest in using P2P lending, while financial knowledge has a significant negative effect on interest in using P2P lending. The scope of research is suggested to be spread evenly from various provinces and tribes in Indonesia, so that the results obtained are more accurate and become a reference for the government to improve performance on financial technology lending.

Fighting in Cyberspace: Internet Access and the Substitutability of Cyber and Military Operations

Pundits debate whether conflict in cyberspace is more likely to trigger or preempt conflict in other domains. We consider a third possibility. Rather than directly complementing or substituting for traditional forms of conflict, the Internet could separately affect both virtual and kinetic dispute behavior. Specifically, we argue that a country’s increasing Internet access causes it to engage in aggressive cyberspace behavior more often. At the same time, economic and social changes associated with the information age reduce the utility of pursuing more traditional forms of conflict. Cyberspace offers an attractive domain in which to shape the balance of power, interests, and information in a technological era, while territorial conquest has become somewhat anachronistic. We test our theory using an innovative estimation approach, applied to panel data on cyber versus conventional disputes. Our findings confirm this indirect substitutability between cyber and conventional conflict.

Effects of government electronic service quality on citizen satisfaction with integrated service delivery in urban areas

In the effort to achieve good and effective public services to gain public satisfaction and trust, the use of public electronic services (e-services) is expected to improve service quality. Public e-services offer better options for processing digital data. With increasing internet access, the use of e-services as a vehicle for delivering various public services is a promising development in the public sector. By maintaining and improving service quality, especially in the public sector, the use of internet/online services or public e-services will make users feel more satisfied and increase public trust. This study aims to determine the effect of electronic service quality on citizen satisfaction with public e-services. A quantitative research methodology was adopted. Data was collected by distributing online questionnaires to users of public e-service applications, totaling 150 respondents in Bandung, Indonesia. The sampling technique used was a purposive, non-probability-based sampling method. The data analysis technique was Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using Smart software. The test results show that information quality, data security, and data privacy have a significant effect on e-service quality, which, in turn, has implications for citizen satisfaction. Based on the results of this study, we advise public e-services institutions to maintain and improve the quality of e-services by improving information quality, data security, and data privacy to increase user trust in public e-services.

Guidance for clinicians and patients with non-small cell lung cancer in the time of precision medicine.

Major advances in the diagnosis and treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have resulted in a sharp decline in associated mortality rates, thereby propelling NSCLC to the forefront of precision medicine. Current guidelines recommend upfront comprehensive molecular testing for all known and actionable driver alterations/biomarkers (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, KRAS, NTRK, MET, RET, HER2 [ERBB2], and PD-L1), especially in advanced disease stages, as they significantly influence response to therapy. In particular, hybrid capture-based next-generation sequencing (HC-NGS) with an RNA fusion panel to detect gene fusions is a veritable requirement at both diagnosis and progression (resistance) of any-stage non-squamous adenocarcinoma NSCLCs. This testing modality ensures selection of the most timely, appropriate, and personalized treatment, maximization of therapeutic efficacy, and prevention of use of suboptimal/contraindicated therapy. As a complement to clinical testing and treatment, patient, family, and caregiver education is also key to early screening and diagnosis, access to care, coping strategies, positive outcomes, and survival. The advent of social media and increased internet access has amplified the volume of educational and support resources, consequently changing the dynamics of patient care. This review provides guidance on integration of comprehensive genomic testing with an RNA fusion panel as a global diagnostic standard for all adenocarcinoma NSCLC disease stages and provides key information on patient and caregiver education and resources.

Learning on OnlyFans: User Perspectives on Knowledge and Skills Acquired on the Platform.

OnlyFans is a digital patronage platform on which over two million content creators produce sexually explicit content for more than 130million users. Increased Internet access and innovative technologies that enhance sexuality via connections and knowledge are changing the ways people navigate their sexual lives. OnlyFans is unique due to its position between digital sex work and social media and its high degree of cultural assimilation. We explored with a mixed-method approach how OnlyFans users perceive the effects of their OnlyFans use on their sexual learning and sexual lives. A diverse sample of 425 OnlyFans users participated in our online survey. The quantitative results revealed that participants reported mostly positive influences of OnlyFans on their sexual lives, and that they learned new things in terms of sexual practices, sexual preferences, relationships, and sexual health. Participants also reported that they tried new things, including toy use, sexual identity exploration, sexual and relationship practices, and gender identity exploration. Thematic analysis for the qualitative question revealed increases in declarative/conceptual and procedural knowledge in terms of sexual improvements/expansion; improvements in relationships; self-improvement/expansion; skill acquisition; connecting with others through OnlyFans; and value-related learning outcomes. These results provide insight into the ways users engage with OnlyFans for sexual learning, exploration, and expansion at individual and partner-levels. Findings have implications for sex education and research and practice in digital spaces.

Association of digital health literacy and information-seeking behaviors among physicians during COVID-19 in Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study.

Universal access to health information is a requirement for all global health strategies in the era of pandemics. Getting health information from the internet is a great concern for the quality of patient healthcare. This study aimed to determine the association between digital health literacy and information-seeking behavior among physicians during COVID-19. An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from December to February 2021 with a total sample size of 423. A pretest was performed among physicians before the actual data collection. After the data collection, the data were checked, cleaned, and exported into STATA v. 14. Descriptive statistics, binary logistic regression, and multivariable logistic regression analysis were applied. Then a 95% CI and a p-value of less than 0.05 were used to declare statistical significance. The study revealed that 53.81% of physicians had high digital health literacy and 52.46% had high information-seeking behaviors. Health information-seeking behaviors were determined by digital health literacy, which was 2.25 times more likely than those who had low digital health literacy (AOR = 2.25, 95% CI: [1.11-4.57]). Health-related websites (67.5%) were the most common sources of health information, and 63.30% of physicians find digital health literacy easy or very easy to learn. However, 206 (50.92%) find it difficult or very difficult to decide if the information is reliable, verified, and up-to-date. Internet access (AOR = 1.90, 95% CI: [1.16-3.12]), frequency of searching for information (AOR = 5.35, 95% CI: [2.01-14.29]). All were discovered to be significantly associated with physicians' health information-seeking behaviors. Digital health literacy is a key to seeking health information online for appropriate decision-making. Increasing internet access, and providing ICT training, and integrate it into the health information revolution agendas, helping to disseminate health information and provide timely, reliable, and relevant news and genuine information needed for their work.

An Analysis of the Implementation of Children's Rights in the Digital World: A Case Study of Botswana

This paper examines the effects of digital technologies on children's rights. All children's rights ought to be reinforced, respected, and protected. Majority of children devote their time on Internet using various social media platforms which have become a key means of teaching and learning. Increased internet access by children is associated with risks and escalation of children's rights violations. Institutions dealing with children continuously struggle to represent the rights of children enshrined within the Convention on the Rights of Children. The paper is mainly focuses on children's rights such as freedom of expression and information, privacy and data protection, protection and safety. Children's rights are not fully protected online in most cases particularly in countries like Botswana. The publication of sensitive information relating to children online is a violation of their rights to privacy and may affect their childhood development. The lack of relevant expert to investigate and prosecute cybercrime leads to the increase of cybercrime activities committed against children.

Financial innovation, corruption, and economic growth: analysis of Sub-Saharan African countries

Financial innovation allows the expansion of financing, facilitates domestic and international commercial transactions, and reduces bureaucracy for financial institutions in customer satisfaction. We aim to examine the determinants of financial innovation and to verify whether financial innovation positively impacts economic growth, despite the prevalence of corruption in the Sub-Saharan Africa region. Results show that the determinants of financial innovation in Sub-Saharan African countries are competitiveness and the crisis in the banking sector, the need to extend the portfolio of deposits and bank loans (financial inclusion), and increased internet access for households and investment. Similarly, corruption prevents the transmission of the positive effects of the financial system on economic growth, and reductions in corruption boost economic growth, so it will be important for policymakers to bear in mind that without the reduction and control of corruption in developing countries, financial innovation does not produce major advantages concerning the economic growth of African countries.

PANDANGAN ISLAM DAN PANDANGAN SUKU SAMAWA TERHADAP PERNIKAHAN SESAMA JENIS

In recent years, the issue of same-sex marriage (gay and lesbian) is spreading on the surface and has been widely discussed by various groups. In Indonesia, the number of perpetrators of same-sex marriage is increasing in the name of human rights that must be respected and upheld, so this certainly raises pros and cons. This increase occurred due to increased internet access; the world of entertainment showing LGBT dramas; unrestricted access to pornography; narcotics; and the emergence of many LGBT movement organizations. In addition to biological factors, the influence of the immediate environment, namely family, relationships, and sexual violence, is also the cause of the emergence of LGBT. Same-sex marriage is prohibited in Islam because it violates nature and is contrary to Islamic Shari'a so that it triggers the maintenance of honor, soul, lineage, and reason. In short, same-sex marriage interferes with human physical and mental health. In the view of the Samawa tribe, same-sex marriage is also a deviant behavior, so that the perpetrator will be given punishment according to the existing customs and developed in the Samawa tribe.

The effect of Internet access on body weight: Evidence from China

The Internet has significantly changed people’s daily lives, including their health status. In this paper, we study the health implications of Internet access with a specific focus on body weight. We exploit an Internet speed upgrading project in China and conduct a difference-in-differences analysis, where the treatment intensity depends on cities’ pre-existing Internet infrastructure conditions. We find consistent and robust evidence that increased Internet access reduces the incidence of being overweight. Regarding the mechanisms behind this result, we provide indirect evidence for the information channel, evidenced by improved health behaviors after the project: less engagement in risky health behaviors and increased participation in preventive health services and exercise. Internet diffusion also increases income, supporting the income channel through which the Internet can affect body weight.

Striving to publish in international journals: A case study of a small university in rural Philippines

ABSTRACT This article analyzes a recent Peace Corps Response project led jointly by a Filipino scholar and a U.S. scholar at a rural university in the Philippines with the goal of coaching faculty who seek to make it in the world of international scholarly research and publishing. The article first highlights ten major challenges including lack of internet, university bureaucracy, limited time, lack of training, clashing incentives, and lack of knowledge about professional opportunities. Ideas for leveling the playing field for scholars around the world are presented, including: Increased internet access, open access to the scholarly literature, streamlined university processes, more in-country research funding opportunities, individualized research consultations, group seminars offered by national and international professional organizations, enhanced graduate education on research process and methods, grant and fellowship opportunities that reach beyond elite institutions, funds to attend international conferences, and additional scholarly networking opportunities.

Market share, larger competition and the profitability of rural, small community banks

PurposeCommunity banks continue to offer important financial services including agricultural and small-business lending as well as residential mortgage origination. Because community banks’ share of available source funds may be threatened in rural markets due to competing larger banks seeking less expensive core deposits, this study examines whether large-bank competition, market share of deposits and changing market share impact the profitability of rural, small community banks.Design/methodology/approachUsing a Heckman-type selection model to control for sample selection bias, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis with time and bank fixed effects is conducted to study the drivers of profitability in small, community banks that operate exclusively in rural markets. Profit drivers for rural, small community banks of particular interest in the study are larger-bank competition, market share of deposits and year-to-year change in market share of deposits.FindingsThe research indicates that rural, small community bank profitability decreases in concurrent market share of deposits and may increase in changing market share but that the presence of a larger competitor decreases the profitability of small community banks in rural markets as larger banks compete for deposits in these markets. The paper also finds that increased Internet access in rural markets accompanies lower performance for small community banks, indicating that online banking services may threaten rural, small community banks.Originality/valueThis paper offers new findings to the literature on the performance effects of large competitors in rural banking markets. The results suggest implications for managers of rural, small community banks and offer additional knowledge about profit drivers of rural, small community banks of which regulators should be cognizant.

Learning Representations Using RNN Encoder-Decoder for Edge Security Control.

Whitelisting is a widely used method in the security field. However, due to the rapid development of the Internet, the traditional whitelisting method cannot promote the security of increasing Internet access. In recent years, with the success of machine learning in different areas, many researchers focus on the security of Internet access through machine learning methods. The most common form of machine learning is supervised learning. Supervised learning requires a large number of labeled samples, but it is difficult to obtain labeled samples in practical applications. This paper introduced an unsupervised deep learning algorithm based on seq2seq, which combined with the recurrent neural network and the autoencoder structure to realize an intelligent boundary security control mechanism. The main methods proposed in this paper are divided into two parts: data processing and modeling. In the phase of data processing, the access text table was coded with dicts, and all sequences were padded to the maximum. In the modeling phase, the network was optimized according to the principle of minimizing the reconstruction error. From the comparative experiments, the proposed method's AUC on the public data set reached 0.99, and its performance is better than several classical supervised learning algorithms, proving that the proposed method has an efficient defense against abnormal network access.

International Telepractice: Encouraging Equity, Partnership, and Sustainability

Purpose: The following commentary outlines the principles of international telepractice with regard to speech-language pathology and audiology services. Additionally, this commentary provides critical caveats and concerns surrounding international telepractice as well as a summary of principles to follow as telepractice programs encourage access to care and bidirectional, sustainable, and ethical practice development. Conclusions: Telepractice among communication disorders professionals has grown exponentially in recent years. With the rise in telepractice opportunities, easier access to digital practice platforms, and increased Internet access through mobile devices, telepractice is a popular therapeutic modality in the communication disorders field. Telepractice applications have extended beyond therapeutic services alone and into clinical education among speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and audiologists (AUDs). Telepractice has also extended beyond national borders called international telepractice. This practice has the potential to improve access to critical rehabilitative and therapeutic services, build capacity in allied rehabilitation systems, and encourage global bidirectional partnership among SLPs and AUDs. However, this practice should not proceed without caution, and the ethical implications should be carefully and critically considered.
