Local perspectives on the formalization of artisanal and small-scale mining in the Madre de Dios gold fields, Peru

A growing number of governments and donors are promoting the formalization of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). They believe that doing so puts them in a better position to govern the sector, and manage the social and environmental impacts of its activities. Mainstream formalization processes are based on the assumption that clear property rights enable the recipients of these rights to capitalize their possessions. Because of reciprocal obligations, the argument follows that formalized ASM actors then better embrace the social and environmental norms regulating their activity. This paper reflects critically on attempts made to formalize ASM in Madre de Dios in Peruvian Amazonia. We share local perceptions of ASM impacts, and broaden understanding of the relationship between mainstream formalization and more bottom-up processes for governing and managing ASM impacts. We forward mesoscale collaborative approaches to impact management. In Madre de Dios, this could involve the appointment of a regional mediator with a strong mandate, establishment of a mobile formalization office, and the implementation of a series of coordinated but independent impact management activities through an impact management plan. This approach would not involve a stepwise procedure in which the failure to achieve one goal would prevent the pursuit of others.

Framework for Mobile Devices Analysis

Nowadays mobile devices are considered an essential component of our daily lives. The smart phones not only keep us connected but also can act as a mobile office, social tool, and an entertainment center. The combination of functionality, processing power, and storage space makes smartphones a prime target for investigators. The rapid evolution in mobile computing is forcing towards the need for standards and tools to investigate and analyze these mobile devices and extract useful information that help in more protection against cyber threats and improving performance in many aspects including power consumption. Up to our knowledge, there is no mobile forensic analysis solution that maps data from different sources including calls, geographical location, multimedia, and web logs. Based on this motivation, in this paper, we aim to propose a framework solution, which could contribute to the development of a novel and potentially a market leading mobile forensic tool.

Exploring factors affecting the adoption of mobile office in business: an integration of TPB with perceived value

This study develops and empirically tests a research model to comprehensively examine factors influencing the success of the mobile office i.e., adoption in business. In particular, this study proposes an integrated theoretical framework that combines the theory of planned behaviour TPB and the perspective of perceived value. By doing so, it aims to examine not only fundamental determinants of an information system IS adoption proposed by TPB i.e., attitude, subjective norm, and behavioural control but also various psychological and emotional factors that determine users' attitude towards IS through the perspective of perceived value. The results indicate that perceived value, colleague opinion and self-efficacy are critical antecedents that increase users' intention to adopt new technology. Furthermore, perceived usefulness and social image are the salient drivers of mobile office adoption because they increase users' value; on the other hand, performance risk and psychological risk are the salient barriers to adoption because they reduce users' value.

Comfortable mobile offices: A literature review of the ergonomic aspects of mobile device use in transportation settings

The use of mobile devices as an addition to or replacement of desktop computers for traditional office work results in more flexibility of workplaces. Consequently transportation time is used for office work and this asks for comfortable mobile offices. The aim of this review is providing a framework of the relevant elements for comfortable mobile offices and defining needs for future research. This literature review draws on 68 papers, theses, reviews and critiques. The framework is based on existing literature on traditional office ergonomics and comfort literature for different transportation modes like trains, buses, airplanes and cars. The main differences with traditional offices are the type of devices, dynamic versus static situation, the sole use of mobile devices and therefore the need for a good arm support to avoid an uncomfortable neck flexion, limited space, and the presence of strangers which influence the privacy perception. Important topics for future research are: the effect on the employee and the environment of the ability and demand of working anywhere, and the requirements for the physical aspects of mobile offices.

Design of USIM-based secure user authentication scheme in a mobile office environment

In order to spread the scale of the mobile device market rapidly, mobile office applications have been introduced that can be process office work anytime, anywhere. However, the mobile office is vulnerable to several security threats that can occur over wireless networks, which can result in illegal enterprise information access and disclosure because of the openness and portability of the mobile device. Therefore, the mobile office environment must prevent unauthorized service and resource access, and a user authentication scheme is needed to mitigate the potential security vulnerabilities. In this paper, we propose a USIM-based secure user authentication scheme for a mobile office environment. The proposed scheme uses the USIM to securely share secret information for authentication between the mobile user and the server, and the mobile device can perform re-authentication to the server through the re-authentication phase in the event of handover. Moreover, the proposed authentication scheme is specified using Casper and is verified the security using the CasperFDR and FDR tool.
