Implementasi Web Application Firewall untuk Melindungi Aplikasi Web dari Serangan Malware

At this time Internet services have become a necessity no longer to provide information services, but have become important so there are many cases of websites being hacked by attackers, for that network security is very important to avoid theft of important data Security in a web application is a important aspect to have. Securing a web application can be done by installing a firewall that is connected directly to the server network. Security for a web application usually uses a web application firewall installed on a web server. To overcome a security problem in Web Applications and minimize losses caused by SQL Injection and XSS attacks, we need a way to overcome these attacks. Several security measures have been used, such as the use of fortiweb to set the traffic destination for a web application. In this study, we will use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) device. Because it can protect Web applications from existing malware attacks and zero day malware. This final project will implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF). By way of device configuration and will use DVWA for malware testing. The technology that will be used to monitor malware logs will use VMware. From the results of testing a web application firewall, it is hoped that it can implement and prevent various malware attacks that attack web applications and can monitor the logs of an attacking malware.

Disrupsi Fungsi Media Baru: Sebuah Studi Kasus

This article discusses the process of disrupting the function of new media. The purpose of this study is to explain how the media has changed its function as a public information service provider to become a company that produces content with profit priority. Using a qualitative research method with a case study approach to a national-scale local media in Banten, the author attempts to describe the disruption of the function of new media. Using Vincent Mosco's political economy theory of communication and a case study on local media with a national network, the author tries to reveal how new media currently functions. The results of our research found that the Radar Banten print media has been used for political or other interests, through titles or news content that has been made, the case that happened to Ratu Atut Chosiyah, the former governor of Banten who was implicated in a corruption case, is one of them. The function of the mass media, which is to provide information to the public, is disrupted because the goals of the mass media are currently more oriented toward group interests and profit. Radar Banten as a mass media that already has a digital version, trying to meet the needs of the public even though it still has many shortcomings, the true function of new media that is carried out by Radar Banten is still in the process of getting to a better stage.

SELECTION OF THE BEST SEM MODEL TO IDENTIFY FACTORS AFFECTING MARKETING PERFORMANCE IN THE ICT INDUSTRY

The digital revolution in society and the advances in marketing practices create tremendous challenges for companies and even more so for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) service providers. They are faced with increasingly complex and rapidly changing market competition, knowing these problems can use SEM to form a research model and find out the relationship between latent variables and their indicators. The purpose of this study is to identify the best structural equation model that can describe Marketing Performance in the ICT Industry in Indonesia. The data used in this study is primary data obtained from the results of distributing offline and online questionnaires to 300 management levels working in the ICT Industry. The methods compared in this study are Covariance Based Structural Equation Modeling and Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that the best model to determine the factors that influence Marketing Performance in the ICT Industry in Indonesia is PLS-SEM with the goodness-of-fit model R2 for the latent variable Marketing Performance is 0.436. This shows that the accuracy of the variables CEM, DBI and DOE together in predicting MP variables is relatively weak. Based on the PLS-SEM model, it is found that Digital Operational Excellence is a mediator that can increase the influence of Customer Experience Management on Marketing Performance. Meanwhile, Digital Business Innovation has no significant effect in increasing the influence of Customer Experience Management on Marketing Performance. The novelty of this research is the development of the best SEM models (CB-SEM and PLS-SEM) in the field of Information and Communication Technology in Indonesia.

Особливості розвитку першого рівня цифрової економіки України

The study is based on the approach of scientists to distinguish three levels of the digital economy, when the 1st level covers: information services; telecommunications; software and IT consulting; production of components. For the study of the 1st level of the digital economy in Ukraine, the following types of economic activity (TEA) were selected: production of computers, electronic and optical products; publishing software; telecommunications (electrical communications); computer programming, consulting and related activities; provision of information services. These TEA were evaluated according to the following indicators: volumes of sold products (goods, services); the number of employed workers; personnel costs. The sample was formed for the period 2012-2021. Statistical methods, methods of comparison and generalization were used in the research. Programming, consulting and related activities show the highest rate of increase in the volume of implementation during the studied period. The smallest growth is observed in the field of telecommunications, which is explained by the fact that the volume of implementation of communication services in the base year of 2012 exceeded other foreign trade several times. The production of computers, electronic and optical products in 2021 reached the highest value during the studied period. In 2017-2018 and in 2021, the provision of information services in terms of growth rates exceeded computer programming, consulting and related activities. The number of employees in the field of computer programming, consulting and related activities increased by 3.49 times over ten years, and in the field of information services - by 2.55 times. Despite the growth in sales of computers, electronic and optical products, and communication services, the number of employees at these TEA decreased significantly during the period under study. In 2019-2021, the growth trend of employed workers in the following areas was approximately the same: software publishing, computer programming, consulting and related activities; provision of information services. During the studied period, the costs per employee were the highest in the field of telecommunications. Since 2019, spending per employee in computer programming, consulting and related activities has been the lowest. The results of the research can be used to form an information base for making managerial decisions at various levels of the economy.

КОНЦЕПЦІЯ ФУНКЦІОНАЛЬНИХ ПЕРЕТВОРЕНЬ ДЛЯ ФОРМУВАННЯ СИНТАКСИЧНОГО ОПИСУ ДІАГОНАЛЕЙ ТРАНСФОРМАНТИ

The article justifies the existence an imbalance in the provision of video information services using infocommunication networks. It is shown that such an imbalance is due to the destructive actions of the opposing side. Many these attacks relate to the disabling of energy and telecommunications infrastructure. This leads to a significant drop in the bandwidth of the infocommunication network. Accordingly, it is necessary to localize the imbalance between the information load infocommunication network and its bandwidth in the face of crisis factors. To do this, you must use an integrated approach. The article discusses in detail the direction creating technologies for additional reduction of bit load without losing the semantic integrity of video information resources. However, for such technologies in the process of reducing the information load of the network, there is a contradiction. On the one hand, a reduction in the information load of the network is achieved. But on the other hand, there are losses in the integrity video information. So you need to create a new class of encoding methods. Accordingly, to build compression coding technologies, it is necessary to develop an approach concept. A theoretical basis has been created for constructing the technology of encoding transformants in an uneven diagonal format, taking into account its combinatorial configuration. It is based on a system of transformations that is outlined as a two-layer compressive encoding transformer in an uneven-diagonal spectral space.

Akun Instagram Lambe Turah sebagai Media Informasi dan Bisnis Perspektif Teori Industri dan Ayat Muamalah

The role of social media as a medium for sharing status, photos, and videos has turned into a business tool. There are few accounts on behalf of individuals or organizations. However, the account manager is anonymous, such as the Lambe Turah account, which is the object of research in this article. This paper aimed to analyze Lambe Turah's account based on industry and Muamalah's theory. This paper used a type of qualitative research. Data collection was carried out using the note-taking technique. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive-analysis techniques through the selected theory. The study results show that Lambe Turah's Instagram account is a news account on social media that provides factual and non-factual information for financial gain, so it can be classified as non-journalist media. In the muamalah aspect (socio-economic), the sources of information presented by the Lambe Turah account are not listed as validity indicators. This information related to the news on the account cannot be used as the primary reference. In the view of Ayat Muamalah, the validity of information is the main requirement for the eligibility of information to be reported and disseminated. Therefore, the efforts made by Lambe Turah as a provider of information and business services have yet to be guided by the production principles discussed in the Qur'an.

Identifying Cultural Ecosystem Services and Relevant Landscape Elements Provided by Urban Green Space throughout History from an Information Communication Perspective

Throughout the long history of urban expansion and development, some of the natural mountains, lakes, and rivers that were once located on the outskirts of a city have gradually been encircled within it and have become nature in the urban, i.e., they are now in the heart of the city. These are not only green infrastructure for contemporary cities; they have also accumulated a rich cultural heritage and are closely related to the physical health and subjective well-being of city dwellers. The objectives of this study were: (1) to identify the no-material services that the public perceives from UGSs throughout history that contribute to subjective well-being; (2) to analyze which landscape elements are associated with the provision of such services and then to clarify the value of UGSs throughout history and provide a theoretical basis for urban managers. We returned to the original concept of cultural services (information services) to understand how UGSs throughout history, as information sources, have provided subjective well-being to specific groups of people. And we build a classification system for information services based on this understanding. Based on existing research methods on cultural services, we found that collecting information carriers such as texts, images, and interview transcripts is a more effective way to identifying the intangible services provided by a landscape than monetary methods. From understanding of the information communication process, we attempted to integrate the supply and demand indicators of information services. We validated the feasibility of the method of information service identification using Yuexiu Hill in Guangzhou, which has a construction history of 2000 years, as an example. Through the word frequency statistics of 1063 ancient poems (a type of information carrier), elements of the historical landscape of Yuexiu Hill and the information services provided in the past were identified. After that, semantic networks were constructed to analyze the association between elements and services. The results of this study show that information service identification is an effective method of analyzing the effect of the promotion of UGSs throughout history on the subjective well-being of the public. The provision of information services depends on the accumulation and dissemination of environmental information; both natural and cultural elements, especially symbolic elements, play an important role in this process.

Qualitative Analysis of Industrial Hemp Production, Markets, and Sustainability in North Carolina, United States

The North Carolina hemp industry has fallen short of its projected success despite its potential economic benefits and opportunities for farmers. The floral hemp sector specifically has been struggling due to excessive production and decreasing prices. The objective of the research was to examine the experiences and obstacles faced by early adopters and stakeholders of the hemp industry in NC. Through structured focus group discussions and interviews, data were collected and analyzed to gain insight into the industry’s direction. The results revealed that many floral hemp farmers have abandoned the crop because of financial setbacks, leading to a reduced interest in cultivation compared to five years prior. The floral hemp industry’s rapid growth and decline have tempered farmers’ expectations of the crop’s potential. The findings will provide a foundation for further research into NC’s hemp production and economy, enabling the provision of necessary information and extension services for profitable hemp farming in the state.

Objective structured clinical examination as a competency assessment tool of students’ readiness for advanced pharmacy practice experiences in South Korea: a pilot study

BackgroundThe assessment of pharmacy students’ readiness to begin the education of an advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) in clinical pharmacy settings continues to gain increasing attention. This study aimed to develop an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) in the core domains acquired through an introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE), for evaluating its appropriateness as a tool of assessing clinical pharmacist competency for APPEs in Korean pharmacy students throughout a pilot study.MethodsOSCE’s core competency domains and case scenarios were developed through a literature review, ideation by researchers, and external experts’ consensus by a Delphi method. A prospective single-arm pilot test was conducted to implement the OSCE for Korean pharmacy students who completed a 60-h course of in-class simulation IPPE. Their competencies were assessed by four assessors in each OSCE station with a pass-fail grading system accompanied by a scoring rubric.ResultsOSCE competency areas including patient counseling, provision of drug information, over-the-counter (OTC) counseling, and pharmaceutical care services were developed with four interactive and one non-interactive cases. Twenty pharmacy students participated in the OSCE pilot test, and their competencies were evaluated by 20 assessors. The performance rate was the lowest in the area of patient counseling for a respiratory inhaler (32.1%) and the highest (79.7%) in OTC counseling for constipation. The students had an average performance rate of 60.4% in their communication skills. Most participants agreed on the appropriateness, necessity, and effectiveness of the OSCE in evaluating pharmacy students’ clinical performance and communication skills.ConclusionsThe OSCE model can be used to assess pharmacy students’ readiness for off-campus clinical pharmacy practice experience. Our pilot study suggests the necessity of conducting an OSCE domain-based adjustment of difficulty levels, and strengthening simulation-based IPPE education.

Information consolidation and repackaging for augmented reality library service: a special reference to the Layar app

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to introduce the Layar augmented reality (AR) application among library users and to understand the user’s satisfaction towards the information services provided by the Layar application with the help of the structural equation model (SEM).Design/methodology/approachAccording to Thomas (2016), action research is mainly undertaken to develop new skills or new approaches and to solve issues and problems with direct application to any applied setting. The present study helps to develop new skills and approaches to repackaging information using AR applications. Researchers have identified the question of what could be done to increase the awareness of Layar AR applications among students. Because the Layar augmented application is one of the new tools for an academic library to repackage information for mass accessibility. Therefore, in the present action research approach, researchers encompass two activities action and research. Researchers have used participatory action research methods by collecting data from 17 MBA institute libraries affiliated with Savitribai Phule Pune University. Researchers have systematically used the Layar application in the library by obtaining permission from each higher authority. Researchers have designed a Layar satisfaction model using the SEM with AMOS and SPSS.FindingsThe researcher found that the relationship between experience, performance and service quality is positively significant. The user’s experience is satisfied with the Layar application, but users are not satisfied with the service quality and performance of the Layar application.Research limitations/implicationsThis study tested Layar AR application in MBA libraries affiliated with Savitribai Phule Pune University in the Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad areas.Practical implicationsThe Layar app helps the academic library to convert selected print collections into an AR feel for library users. This is an additional method of providing information services to users through mobile devices. A total of 157 students downloaded the Layar application from their handsets and provided feedback through a questionnaire. Researchers have found that the relationships between users and Layar experience, performance and service quality are positively significant. The user experience is satisfied with the Layar application, but users are not satisfied with the service quality and performance of the Layar application.Originality/valueThis study examined the performance, service quality and user experience of Layar applications. Structural equation and Modelling theories were used to examine the relationship between user satisfaction and information services using the Layar application.

This means that there is an increase in the average student motivation score so that it can be concluded that the provision of information services can increase student motivation in completing assignments.

Separate problems of extraterritorial executive jurisdiction of States in cyberspace.

The emergence and active use of information and communication technologies, primarily the Internet, has led to the fact that States exercise such a type of extraterritorial executive jurisdiction as direct access to data stored on the territory of another State. The implementation of such actions is permissible in the case when the data is publicly available or access is carried out with the consent of the State. More controversial is the situation when the data is obtained with the legal and voluntary consent of a person who has the legal authority to disclose them. Indirect cross-border access to information carried out by sending a request to an information service provider obliging, according to national legislation, to disclose information about its subscribers, regardless of its actual location, can also be regarded as contrary to international law. In this regard, States continue to be guided by requests for international legal assistance, which does not contribute to the effective investigation of crimes related to the use of ICT and does not take into account the nature of electronic evidence. The deepening of international cooperation within regional associations leads to the risk of the formation of country clusters, within which there are necessary procedures for cooperation between participants, but which, in relation to other countries, are limited to "traditional" types of international cooperation that do not take into account the peculiarities of electronic evidence. Thus, it is necessary to develop common standards for remote access to data located on servers and devices located on the territory of a foreign state. Such documents should define procedures and rules for obtaining the consent of a person with authority for cross-border data disclosure, expand universal international cooperation, including by recognizing the possibility of sending direct requests for the provision of certain information about subscribers to information service providers, establish mechanisms for disclosure by information service providers of data under their control, but stored on servers, located on the territory of foreign states.
