The Personal Data Protection of Internet Users in Indonesia

The emergence and rapid development of information and communication technology has brought about various opportunities and challenges. One of them is the active interaction between individuals and the digital-based information service providers. In modern economic development, related information including personal data or also known as digital dossier—the collection of large amounts of an individual’s information using digital technology—are valuable assets due to their high economic value since they are widely utilized by businesses. In this regard and due to the increasing number of cellphone and internet users, there is a need to study the issues on the importance of protecting one’s personal data. In Indonesia, there is no specific regulation regarding the protection of personal data. Therefore, it is essential to come up with specific and comprehensive legislation related to personal data protection as legal basis for better implementation of personal data protection in Indonesia in the future. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze the current policies on protection of personal data of internet users in Indonesia. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and utilizes literature study. The result shows that the concept of personal data protection implies that individuals have the right to determine whether one will join an online community, share or exchange personal data with another, and the conditions that must be met in order to do so. The study likewise found that the threat of personal data leakage is increasingly occurring because of the development of the e-commerce sector in Indonesia.

Towards Rail-Road Online Exchange Platforms in EU-Freight Transportation Markets: An Analysis of Matching Supply and Demand in Multimodal Services

The European Union (EU) is confronted with too low a share of inland rail freight transport. The implementation of two-sided online exchanges for rail-road freight transport could increase this share. However, such exchanges focusing on the EU market are mainly designed for single modes of transport. Their matching of supply and demand for multimodal services, especially including rail, is still in its infancy. This paper applies a maturity growth framework to speed up the implementation of such multimodal online exchanges. The framework integrates insights from industrial organization theory, platform economy theory, and maturity growth theory. Online exchanges, summarized in a new taxonomy, are compared to study their practices on matching supply with demand on the exchange, especially for multimodal services. Data is collected from case studies, exchange websites and semi-structured interviews. The analysis shows the emergence of new market actors and business models, including digital freight forwarders. These offer a variety of transport mode solutions for EU inland and EU related global freight transport. Maturity in matching supply and demand appears to result from clear objectives to provide benefits to the exchange participants, notably by digitizing the data for transaction completion and providing real time support for operational issues. In this context of rising online exchanges, especially in road and global multimodal transport (air, ocean, and road), the competition to capture a fragmented freight market seems to steadily increase. A similar maturity analysis of exchanges could not be found.

Cloud-BIM Enabled Cyber-Physical Data and Service Platforms for Building Component Reuse

While the Circular Economy in the built environment is often viewed in terms of recycling, more value can be obtained from buildings and physical components by their reuse, aided by stewardship and remanufacture, to ensure optimum performance capability. The use of cyber-physical information for online identification, examination and exchange of reusable components may improve their life-cycle management and circularity. To this end, a bi-directional data exchange system is established between physical building components and their virtual Building Information Modeling (BIM) counterparts, so that their life-cycle information—including history of ownership, maintenance record, technical specifications and physical condition—can be tracked, monitored and managed. The resultant prototype Cloud-based BIM platform is then adapted to support an ongoing product-service relationship between suppliers/providers and users/clients. A case study from a major new hospital, focusing upon an example of internal framed glazed systems, is presented for ”proof of concept” and to demonstrate the application of the proposed method. The result of the case study shows that, informed by the life-cycle data from the Cloud-BIM platform, a “lease with reuse” service option is able to deliver a lower total cost and less carbon intensity for each unit of frame-glazed module. This leads to a higher level of eco-efficiency, coupled with decreased consumption of material resources and reduced generation of waste. The research is expected to serve as a step forward in the era of Industry 4.0 and illuminate a more sophisticated way to manage building assets.

WITHDRAWN: E-commerce consumer behaviour perception based on FPGA and machine learning

Abstract E-Commerce Consumer an extraordinary ground in the most recent couple of many years, on account of the beginning of innovation in every cross-segment. Individuals have begun tolerating any mechanical development at a lot quicker rate than any time in recent memory. Web invaded individuals' lives in various circles and even made changes in the manner in which the customer purchases the item. Electronic Commerce (internet business) can be one of the significant financial upsets in this century. More online clients currently become the 'purchaser' instead of just a 'window customer'. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) first came into the picture at the beginning of PLD. This was a created rendition. After PLD'S is modifying and fabricating, it has restricted programmability. Field programmable doors can be actualized in any advanced circuit. This gives a comprehensive exhibit of engineers at the most reduced expense to make a coherent structure online security and absence of customer assurance are the significant worries for E-business food. As we move a more generous amount of our carries on with on the web, misrepresentation dangers follow intently behind. The clients are ignorant of the best approach to battle digital extortion. It is necessary to develop a model for defending the clients from the outcomes. A two-factor validation cycle might be utilized to make sure about the online exchange. It is where more than one secret word is needed to confirm the user. The onus is on the advertiser to grasp best practices and the most recent advances to keep one stride ahead to assemble purchaser certainty. Utilization of cutting edge validation measures or blended models like on the web and disconnected conveyance, installment through banks may help organizations cause the client to feel safe while purchasing items on the web. The business which can make a useful model to address this hazy situation will have a feasible development.

Cryptocurrency and Other Digital Assets for U.S. Investors (2021 ed.)

In 2008, an unknown author publishing under the name Satoshi Nakamoto released a white paper describing Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer version of electronic cash, and the corresponding software that facilitates online payments directly between counterparties without the need for a financial intermediary. In the decade that has followed, Bitcoin and countless other open-source, decentralised protocols inspired by Bitcoin (for example, Ethereum) have come to represent a $300 billion-plus market of alternative assets, commonly referred to as “digital assets”, which are typically traded over the internet using online exchange platforms. The digital asset market extends beyond the assets themselves. Other participants, including online exchanges, payment processors and mining companies, compose the broader digital asset industry. And as this industry continues to grow, it has captured the attention of retail and institutional investors alike, including asset managers seeking to develop investment strategies and products involving these emerging assets and companies. Some strategies resemble early-stage growth strategies, featuring long-term investments either directly in certain digital assets or in start-up ventures developing complementary goods and services for the industry. Other strategies include hedge fund strategies, such as long/short funds, which often use derivatives, or arbitrage strategies, which seek to capitalise on the price fragmentation across the hundreds of global online exchanges. Additionally, during periods of weak or middling performance in the cryptocurrency markets – for example, during the so-called “crypto winter” of 2018–19 – fund managers began experimenting with novel revenue-generation strategies, such as staking cryptocurrencies, adopting credit fund-type strategies (e.g., distressed debt), engaging in market-making and executing venture capital investments. This chapter outlines the current U.S. regulatory and tax framework applicable to cryptocurrency and other digital asset investment funds offered to U.S. investors and how those regulatory and tax considerations affect fund-structuring decisions.

Conducting Online Writing Exchange: A Reflection to Tell

There have been many researches on online language learning, especially online writing. Yet, research describing a reflection after experimenting with online writing to students is still under-investigated. To fill this gap, this paper aimed to inform the reflection of the researchers for the last three years conducting online writing exchange. The reflections came from the researchers’ view and students' views regarding the writing exchange program. The research design was narrative inquiry. The data were garnered from the researchers’ experiences and students’ interviews. The results of reflection revealed Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT). The strengths are flip classroom, flexibility for the teacher, motivation to write, writing practice, and interaction. The weaknesses are able to write a post after the deadline, unaltered topics in stage, unavailable notification of reply, a difficult operationalized website, and a short deadline. The opportunities are adding other countries from other continents, extending the collaboration into a full semester, and adding online chat on the website. The threats are less active participation from students and less active buddy.

Secure Connected Transactions using Face Verification

In this day and age, cash can be required whenever or anyplace, for example, shopping, voyaging or wellbeing crises and so on. That additionally expands the danger of getting robed. Bank is a most secure spot to keep cash. In any case, consider the possibility that somebody will take your card and by one way or another he/she will know your secret key, it will give him/her full access to your cash. According to the present situation the online exchange is secure with one time secret word (OTP). In age of OTP there are numerous variables that can make OTP special each time it is produced. Right now execute client Identification utilizing Face Recognition to confirm the client. If there should be an occurrence of crisis circumstance the login should be possible utilizing OTP and furthermore the individual picture is caught and Mail to the Account Holder. Accordingly our framework is improve in Security contrasting with the current System.

Online Information Exchange and Anxiety Spread in the Early Stage of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak in South Korea: Structural Topic Model and Network Analysis.

BackgroundIn case of a population-wide infectious disease outbreak, such as the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), people’s online activities could significantly affect public concerns and health behaviors due to difficulty in accessing credible information from reliable sources, which in turn causes people to seek necessary information on the web. Therefore, measuring and analyzing online health communication and public sentiment is essential for establishing effective and efficient disease control policies, especially in the early stage of an outbreak.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the trends of online health communication, analyze the focus of people’s anxiety in the early stages of COVID-19, and evaluate the appropriateness of online information.MethodsWe collected 13,148 questions and 29,040 answers related to COVID-19 from Naver, the most popular Korean web portal (January 20, 2020, to March 2, 2020). Three main methods were used in this study: (1) the structural topic model was used to examine the topics in the online questions; (2) word network analysis was conducted to analyze the focus of people’s anxiety and worry in the questions; and (3) two medical doctors assessed the appropriateness of the answers to the questions, which were primarily related to people’s anxiety.ResultsA total of 50 topics and 6 cohesive topic communities were identified from the questions. Among them, topic community 4 (suspecting COVID-19 infection after developing a particular symptom) accounted for the largest portion of the questions. As the number of confirmed patients increased, the proportion of topics belonging to topic community 4 also increased. Additionally, the prolonged situation led to a slight increase in the proportion of topics related to job issues. People’s anxieties and worries were closely related with physical symptoms and self-protection methods. Although relatively appropriate to suspect physical symptoms, a high proportion of answers related to self-protection methods were assessed as misinformation or advertisements.ConclusionsSearch activity for online information regarding the COVID-19 outbreak has been active. Many of the online questions were related to people’s anxieties and worries. A considerable portion of corresponding answers had false information or were advertisements. The study results could contribute reference information to various countries that need to monitor public anxiety and provide appropriate information in the early stage of an infectious disease outbreak, including COVID-19. Our research also contributes to developing methods for measuring public opinion and sentiment in an epidemic situation based on natural language data on the internet.

Addressing Web Application Security Issues and Vulnerabilities Assessment Pen Testing

The world relies heavily on the Internet, and every organization uses web applications extensively for information sharing, business purposes such as online sales, money transfer, etc., and Exchange services. Nowadays, providing security for web applications is the greatest challenge in the corporate world because web applications will be the main way for their daily business and if the web application is affected, then daily business and reputation will be affected. As many organizations have been using the web application service to share or store sensitive information about their clients and assets. So, Web Applications are inclined to security attacks and new security vulnerabilities have grown in the last two decades in a web application and have become an important target for attackers. So, it is very vital to secure a web application. The vulnerabilities in web applications will incur due to the security misconfigurations, programming mistakes, improper usage of security measures, etc. So, vulnerability assessment and pen testing will help to figure out the different vulnerabilities present in web applications. The websites are also using to deliver the critical services to its customers so it must run every time without any interception, to do this VAPT will play a crucial role. This paper reviews about vulnerability assessment and pretesting steps and types, website vulnerabilities like SQL Injection, Cross-Site scripting, file inclusion, cross-site request forgery, and broken authentication with types and remediations and also discuss how the effect of these vulnerabilities on a web application.

We are invited to imagine: using a literary text to encourage cross-cultural dialogue about citizenship

ABSTRACT Using William Golding’s Lord of the Flies as a stimulus, researchers from Norway, Pakistan and the United Kingdom explored the potential of a literary text to encourage intercultural dialogue. The innovative research method used was to combine Literature Circles and Google Documents to provide a platform for asynchronous online exchange between three cohorts of students in higher education. The authors’ analysis of the data suggested differences between those students who regarded the text as a living document speaking directly to their personal experiences of citizenship issues and those for whom the novel remained a historical document, removed from their lived experience. The authors contend that this research can contribute original and significant insights to the literature on teaching citizenship through literary texts such as the relationship between text choice and context, models of international collaboration at the higher education level and contrasting approaches towards citizenship and reading.

Support Online: Case of Russian-speaking Women’s Online Network in Warsaw

The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanisms of online networking and exchange of social support among members of a migrant virtual group of Russian-speaking women in Poland on Facebook. The research was based on content analysis and non-participant observation during two weeks in November and December 2019. I also had two online conversations with the moderator of the group based on a prepared list of questions. It appeared, that members of the group used networking to improve communication on a wide range of issues. Conversations available online provide insight on how migration determines daily issues and social life but also as a source of socially-reproducing precarity. Informality as a social model of inter-group relations prevails among members of the Russian-speaking community. Four main types of social support emerged from communication on the forum – informational, instrumental, emotional and community building. Russian-speaking women use Facebook group to share information, empower each other, boost self-esteem and find companionship. The findings allow to consider the role of the online group as a complementary mechanism for adaptation and improvement of well-being of migrants in Poland.

The effect of online exchanges via Skype on EFL learners’ achievements

<p>This study examined whether direct communication with people from other countries using Skype or Line would affect students’ English test scores in listening and reading as well as the development of their curiosity concerning foreign cultures by comparing the data of an experimental group with that of a control group. The former group conducted online exchanges with foreign students, while the latter group did not. As many Japanese companies engaged in international business require high scores in the TOEIC test, which is one of the multiple-choice English tests of listening and reading often used to show each person’s English proficiency, universities in Japan are making efforts to improve their students’ scores in such an English test. Preparation classes for English tests have been offered. However, students have been likely to lose interest in learning English in the circumstances of this learning style. Results of the study indicated that although the aim of exchange activities is to foster students’ curiosity concerning intercultural matters, students experiencing online exchange with skype significantly raised their scores in TOEIC tests in listening and reading after a programme of synchronous exchanges with foreign students, compared with ones who did not experience such online exchanges.</p>

How individualism–collectivism influences consumer responses to the sharing economy: Consociality and promotional type

AbstractWith the explosion of online exchange of products, the sharing economy is experiencing ever‐increasing growth. Despite the increasing popularity of lateral exchange market platforms as part of the sharing economy, research has not yet adequately investigated cultural effects on how consumers’ intentions to purchase products on these platforms. Using two studies, this paper examines whether consumers high in individualism versus consumers high in collectivism respond differently to platforms with low versus high consociality and how individualistic and collectivistic consumers respond differently to two types of promotions that relate to self‐maximization. Findings in Study 1 indicated that consumers high in individualism (collectivism) have higher patronage intentions toward a platform low (high) in consociality. Findings in Study 2 suggested that in the presence of a promotion, collectivistic consumers respond comparably to promotional types across platforms, whereas individualistic consumers respond more positively to collective (individual) promotions when consociality is low (high). Further, felt commitment to others as a result of the consociality/promotional type relationship explains these effects. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

Family functioning patterns predict teenage girls’ sexting

Online exchange of sexual content (“sexting”) is associated with potentially negative consequences, especially for girls. We investigated possible associations between family functioning and girls’ sexting. Italian teenage girls (N = 250; Mage = 16.36 years; SDage = 1.88) completed online surveys that evaluated family functioning (communication, flexibility, cohesion, disengagement, chaos, enmeshment, and rigidity) and five sexting behaviors: (a) engaging in sexting, (b) sexting with a partner, (c) number of people with whom girls share sexts, (d) nonconsensual forwarding of sexts, and (e) sexting for emotion regulation. We found that engaging in sexting, sexting for emotion regulation, and the number of people with whom girls share sexts were predicted by age and low family communication. Sexting with a partner was predicted by age and high flexibility, and nonconsensual forwarding of sexts was positively predicted by enmeshment.

A study on perceptual depreciation and product rarity for online exchange willingness of second-hand goods

In the context of global advocacy for sustainable development, how to reduce the consumption of resources through sustainable use of goods is an important issue. Although people can get what they need through the exchange of second-hand goods, the pre- and perceptual processes that trigger the willingness to exchange need to be clarified. This study found that perceived depreciation leads to a decrease in exchange reference prices and perceived transaction costs, while product scarcity increases exchange reference prices and perceived transaction costs. Second, the exchange reference prices and psychological premiums help to increase the traders’ willingness to exchange. Finally, when barterers have higher perceived transaction costs, they are more likely to engage in exchanges without being affected by transaction costs. However, for traders in platform industry, it is necessary to provide commodity information to meet the needs of the barter, and to provide a product scarcity identification mechanism to help the barter to set the transaction reference price. Moreover, it is necessary to provide a communication platform for both parties to further determine the value of the goods, so as to facilitate the exchange of goods between the two parties. (The research findings are based on the conclusions of this paper).

“If you don’t improve, what’s the point?” Investigating the impact of a “flipped” online exchange in teacher education

AbstractThis article presents a pedagogical design for teacher education that combines flipped materials, in-class instruction, and telecollaboration (also known as virtual exchange) for foreign language teacher education. The context of this study is a course on technology and language learning for future teachers in which the flipped classroom concept was applied to technology-infused collaborative teacher training between future ESL/EFL instructors located at two partner universities (one in the USA, one in Europe). The three main teaching approaches (flipped materials, in class, and telecollaborative, or “FIT”) were symbiotic in that each structure reinforced the other through reception, discussion, and reflection as a means to help the student teachers bridge the gap between theory and practice. We apply classroom ethnographic discourse analysis to data sources (face-to-face and online discussion groups, student e-portfolios) to look at uptake of ideas, conceptual understanding, and successful transfer of new knowledge, and thereby identify whether the design provides significant learning opportunities for the future teachers. Although most studies of telecollaboration in language teacher education look principally at output, this approach allows an in-depth look at the learning process as knowledge is developed collaboratively between the participants.

Whereabouts of truckers: An empirical study of predictability

This study examines the predictability of a truckload trucker’s whereabouts, using a GPS trajectory data set from about 1000 active users of an on-line freight exchange (OFEX) platform. To describe a trucker’s whereabouts, two different location mapping schemes are proposed. The first divides the entire study area into rectangular grids using a simple geographic rescaling method and treats each grid as a unique location. In the second scheme, a location type (LT) is first assigned to each GPS point, using Point Of Interest (POI) information. Then, each GPS trajectory is converted to a trajectory of LT data. We then process both types of trajectory data, grid-based and type-based, to develop various entropy and predictability measures. We find that the whereabouts of truckers possess strong regularity, but are substantially more difficult to predict than that of an average person. Specifically, the predictability of truckers’ next location on the grid map peaks at 83%, about 10% percentage point lower than that reported in the literature. Surprisingly, predicting the type of the location that a typical trucker may visit the next is even more difficult, with a predictability around 81%. Findings from this study could help guide the development of algorithms for predicting truckers’ next visit location and the type of the location.

Trends and Research Issues of Augmented Reality Studies in Architectural and Civil Engineering Education—A Review of Academic Journal Publications

Architectural and civil engineering (ACE) education is inextricably connected to real-world practice. The application of augmented reality (AR) technology can help to establish a link between virtual and real-world information for students. Studies of applying AR in ACE education have increased annually, and numerous research have indicated that AR possesses immense application potential. To address and analyze pertinent research issues, published studies in the Scopus database were explored, and revealed that problems persist and are worthy of attention, such as the selection of system types and devices, the application of research methods, and appropriate learning strategies and teaching methods. Courses with objective grading standards should be given priority in AR experimental courses for a meticulous investigation of AR influence on students’ learning outcomes and ultimately improvement of classroom quality. Suitable types of AR systems should be selected based on course content, prior to the design and development of the system. It is recommended to develop markerless systems for a larger application range to benefit students with additional convenience. Systems can also be accompanied by functions, such as instant online assessments, synchronized assessments, and exchange capabilities to assist learning what has been taught and develop critical thinking abilities. The combination of AR and building information modeling (BIM) in architectural and civil practice, which has immense application potential, has become an emerging research trend. Collaboration between academics and practice should be enhanced with roles and knowledge of instructors, engineers, designers, and computer experts integrated for an optimal connection between general pedagogy and domain-specific learning. Teaching methods that emphasize “locations”, as well as “roles”, can be adopted in order to create a superior reality learning environment with diversified learning methods. The trends and research have become an integration and collaboration issue that should be performed interactively with pedagogical findings, and resources integrated across roles, fields, and university departments.
