Living on my Own: The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Housing Preferences

We quantify the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on housing demand of Italian households by exploiting new information on their search activity on the market. The data comes from two unique datasets: the Italian Housing Market Survey, conducted quarterly on a large sample of real estate agents, and the universe of weekly housing sales advertisements taken from Immobiliare.it, a popular online portal for real estate services in Italy. The latter includes high-frequency and house-specific measures of online interest of potential home buyers. The pandemic induced a large increase in demand for houses located in areas with lower population density, mainly driven by a significant shift in preferences towards larger, single-family housing units, endowed with outdoor spaces. Fear of contagion, lockdown measures and the rise of remote working arrangements all likely shaped the evolution of housing demand, with potential long-lasting consequences on the housing market.

The article substantiates the need to take special regulatory measures to enable controlled persons to challenge decisions, actions (inaction) of state bodies and settle emerging economic disputes in a pre-trial manner using the public services portal. This will make it possible to relieve the judicial system and free business from excessive illegal control and will contribute to the development of the economy at all levels.

Social big data analysis on demands for the Korean sport industry

The purpose of the study was to explore public opinions and perceptions with regard to the Korean sport industry based on a big data analysis of social media content. Social big data was collected using ‘TextoM’, a big data analysis solution and ‘Naver’, an Internet portal service provider. In order to collect data, a total of 29 keywords were used such as sport industry, sport facilities, sport services, sport marketing, professional baseball, and sport manufacturing. Social analytics was used to analyze big data from social media content about the Korean sport industry. A total of 6,002,666 cases including document, web, blogs, and cafes (i.e., online community) with regards to the Korean sport industry were analyzed. Frequency analysis, keyword analysis through text-mining, sentiment analysis, semantic network analysis, and CONCOR network analysis were conducted. First, frequency analysis shows the volume of the Korean sport industry related searches stayed highly and increased. Second, keyword analysis through text mining was conducted to examine frequently used keywords in the sport industry. The analysis indicates four different categories of the Korean sport industry keywords such as sport games, sport goods, health, and sport policy. Third, sentiment analysis showed positive sentiment was found to have a greater weight than negative sentiment toward the sport industry. Fourth, semantic network analysis showed that the Korean sport industry connected with tourism, media, information, game, international, health, and culture. Last, the results of CONCOR analysis showed that the sport industry clearly divided into four different segments such as sport goods and equipment segment, sport facility segment, sport service segment, and professional sport segment. Results and findings are discussed and future research are suggested.

디지털 미디어 환경에서 언론산업의 구조적 경쟁 문제에 대한 정책적 대응의 검토 (A Study on the Policy Movement for Structural Competition Problems of News Industry in Digital Media Environment)

Korean Abstract: 언론은 현대 사회에서 공적 사안에 관한 사실 보도와 여론 형성, 의제 설정 기능을 담당하며 민주주의의 건전한 발전에 기여해왔다. 따라서 하나의 산업군을 형성하며 언론사들을 중심으로 수행되어 온 이러한 기능이 정보화 시대에 디지털 플랫폼의 출현으로 생존의 위기에 직면하게 된 현 상황은 민주주의에 대한 위협으로 다가온다. 이러한 현상에 관해 언론·미디어학계를 중심으로 한 과거의 제한적인 연구와 디지털 플랫폼 경제에 대한 경쟁법학의 일반적 관심이 존재하나, 경쟁법적 관점에서 언론산업의 특별한 관심을 두고 수행된 연구는 부족한 상황이다. 반면에, 영국과 미국, 호주 등 해외 국가들에서는 최근 디지털 플랫폼이 언론산업의 경제적 상황에 미치는 영향에 관한 학술적 연구와 구체적인 대응 방안 마련의 논의가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 언론산업의 경제적 위기는 전 세계적 현상이라는 점에서 보편적 관심의 대상이며, 각국의 경제, 사회, 정치적 상황에 따른 특수성으로 인해 개별적인 고찰을 요하는 문제이기도 하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해외의 논의 및 대응 상황을 국내에 소개하고 그로부터 발견되는 문제의 성격과 시사점에 대해 검토하는 한편, 인터넷 포털을 중심으로 독특한 산업적·사회적 지형을 형성하고 있는 우리나라의 현실에서 그러한 해외의 논의를 어떻게 참고하여 발전시킬 것인지에 대해서도 살펴보았다. 요컨대, 본 연구는 언론산업 생태계를 둘러싼 논의 구조와 각국이 설정한 방향성에서 나타나는 특수성을 탐구하는 하위 주제 연구이자, 이를 바탕으로 경쟁법학의 방향 모색에 관한 일반적 시사점을 도출하는 것을 목표로 하는 연구이다. 중심 주제는 해외의 논의에서 공통적으로 거대 디지털 플랫폼의 이익 독점 문제에 주목하고 경쟁법 집행보다 정책적 해결 수단을 모색하는 것과 관련하여, 경쟁법·정책의 역할과 한계, 및 수직적 관계에 무게추를 두고 현상적 측면에 천착하는 이러한 관점이 갖는 법적 의미에 대한 고민이다. ‘언론산업의 위기’ 문제는 우리나라의 고유한 상황에 대한 분석과 언론산업의 특수성에 대한 고려를 바탕으로 산업정책의 관점으로 접근할 영역이며, 현재로서는 우리 경쟁법·정책의 관심을 상황 분석과 장기적인 개선방향 모색의 문제에 두는 것이 바람직할 것이다. English Abstract: Journalism has provided enormous contribution to the development of the modern democratic society, by conducting its functions of public matters report, public opinion forming and agenda setting. However, due to the development of information technologies and the emergence of gigantic digital platforms, journalism has been put under risky conditions of financial sustainability, which is regarded as a threat to the democracy. While these issues have been partially covered in media/journalism studies, and there have been legal studies conducted regarding general issues on the economic impacts of digital platforms in the area of competition law, it is hard to find in Korea legal studies mainly focusing on the genuine features of the competition problems arising in the news media industry in relation to the digital platforms. By contrast, outside Korea, there exist numerous studies and policy discourses analyzing competition problems which were recently conducted in those jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, United States and Australia. The economic crisis in journalism is a matter of a general concern as it arises all over the world, while at the same time, such phenomenon requires individual approaches due to the uniqueness of each nation’s economic, social and political conditions. In this connection, this study introduces such foreign studies and discourses and reviews the characteristics of the problematic conditions along with their implications to the competition law and policy. Also discussed is how such studies and discussions abroad should be considered in our domestic situation where a unique industrial and social background is formed around the Internet portal services. This study explores the distinctiveness of the discourse structure and appropriate policy direction towards news media industry/ecosystem as a study topic subordinate to the general competition study, while at the same time trying to draw more general implications on the seeking of the right paths for the competition law and policy. It is of specific interest that the studies reviewed herein take note of the vertical relationship between digital platforms and press publishers while focusing on the phenomenal aspects, and that most jurisdictions are trying to tackle the problems with policy measures rather than competition enforcement. Based on these observations, this study contemplates the legal implications of such approaches as well as the questions on the roles and limitations of the competition policy. This study concludes that the ‘crisis in journalism’ is a matter of industrial policy that needs to be treated with a balanced view of the news media industry’s uniqueness and the inherent socioeconomic conditions of Korean journalism. Finally, the study advises that the concerns of competition law and policy be limited to understanding the media market structure and seeking long-term solutions.

ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ ІНТЕГРОВАНОГО ПОРТАЛУ ЕЛЕКТРОННИХ АДМІНІСТРАТИВНИХ ПОСЛУГ: ПРАВОВІ АСПЕКТИ

The article is devoted to the legal principles of implementation of electronic administrative services in Ukraine. eGovernment supports administrative processes, improves the quality of the services and increases internal public sector efficiency. Digital public services reduce administrative burden on businesses and citizens by making their interactions with public administrations faster and efficient, more convenient and transparent, and less costly. In addition, using digital technologies as an integrated part of governments’ modernisation strategies can unlock further economic and social benefits for society as a whole. The digital transformation of government is a key element to the success of the Single Market. One of the factors that significantly reduce the effectiveness of digital public services is their distribution between different levels of government. Public administrations and public institutions should be open, efficient and inclusive, providing borderless, personalised, user-friendly, end-to-end digital public services to all citizens and businesses. Innovative approaches are used to design and deliver better services in line with the needs and demands of citizens and businesses. Public administrations use the opportunities offered by the new digital environment to facilitate their interactions with stakeholders and with each other.To overcome this obstacle, a single state web portal for electronic services was created. The creation and functioning of the Unified State Web Portal of Electronic Services is analyzed. The factors that may adversely affect his work are identified. In particular, the relevance of information on administrative services, lack of legal regulation, lack of interoperability of public digital resources and platforms. Interoperability mean that public services should be designed to work seamlessly across the Single Market and across organisational silos, relying on the free movement of data and digital services in Ukraine. The functioning of the service and its convenience for users of electronic administrative services are analyzed. These are: integration of existing public digital services on a single platform, identification that will provide data protection, user-friendliness and clarity of the interface. Electronic identification means the process of using person identification data in electronic form uniquely representing either a natural or legal person, or a natural person representing a legal person. The formation of digital administrative services based on the criterion of life situations. Confidence in and convenience of online services are essential for users to fully benefit and consciously rely on electronic services.

Transforming Service Delivery in Government through Integration of Web 3.0 and Social Media Technologies: A Case for Developing Countries

This study focuses on how to integrate Social Media and Web 3.0 features within government portals for personalised service delivery within government portals. The study was based on the Kenya government national portal (eCitizen) and sought the views of 94 experts responsible for managing social media and portal service on the eCitizen portal. The study employed Factor Analysis to analyse the experts' responses. Through factor analysis, the study identified six core factors that make up a Personalised Integrated Service Delivery (PISD) framework. These factors were services, web 3.0 features, social media management, security, one-stop-shop for government services and external factors. The study also described a Personalised Integrated System Architecture based on the PISD framework. The PISD framework and proposed system architecture can be used to guide the integration of social media and web 3.0 features within government portals for Personalised Integrated Service Delivery to citizens especially for developing countries like Kenya.

EXPLORING CRITICAL DIMENSIONS FOR MEASURING SERVICE QUALITY IN GOVERNMENT TO EMPLOYEE (G2E)

The main objective of this article is to identify the dimensions or characteristics that a university service portal must have if it is to be considered by its employees as high quality. To achieve this objective, a qualitative study was carried out using the Delphi method and there was a subsequent quantitative study among academics from different Spanish universities. The four dimensions identified in our study confirm that e-service quality, in the Spanish university context, is a multidimensional construct. We are aware that universities have limited resources, so the managers of these service portals must pay special attention to those dimensions that are most important to users.

Chatbot Kantor Pelayanan Pajak Pratama Cikupa pada Platform Line

The Primary Tax Service Office has used technology in delivering information about taxes, such as the existence of an official tax portal service site as a forum for delivering information about requirements, announcements and provisions related to taxes for the general public. In addition, there are also online applications that are under the auspices of the Directorate General of Taxation which serve as services related to online tax reporting for the general public. However, the Primary Tax Service Office does not yet have a service to provide services to users quickly, easily and can be used at any time, therefore a chatbot application is created that can answer tax-related questions that can be accessed at any time easily and quickly. This chatbot is built using the hypertext preprocessor programming language and database using MySQL and the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language which contains a collection of patterns and responses that can be used by chatbots to search answers to each sentence. The software development methodology used is the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. This research produces a chatbot application that can help users by answering questions about taxes.

A Prospective Analysis of Health Information Portals in Four Years.

Objectives: We examined 17 health information portals to determine the status of web-based health information services in the United States (USA), South Korea, the United Kingdom (UK), and Australia. Methods: We analyzed longitudinal trends in 35 items of online health information over four years among representative health information portals (eight based in the USA, seven in South Korea, one in the UK, and one in Australia), focusing on external portal structure, content scope, service characteristic, and service function with four stakeholder groups of six stakeholders. Results: The most notable change was in the service items, and overall, in 44.1% of total items: 17.6% in service characteristic, 41.2% in external portal structure, 58.8% in service function, and 58.8% in content scope change. More specifically, these changes included increases in the “mobile application utility” (service function), “use of personal health records” on public health portals (content scope change), “Charts and videos” (service characteristic), and “renewal date” (external portal structure). Conclusions: This review of existing health portals will be a footnote for enabling health care providers to confirm whether the needs of consumers are reflected on their website with high reliability. Furthermore, these findings will help to enhance the quality of portals by delivering relevant information to stakeholders and to the consumers of online health information.

Extracting and searching news articles in web portal news pages

Recently, a large amount of news articles is being created online, and news articles are important resources for understanding social phenomena and trends. Accordingly, a web portal service provides a 'portal news page' that classifies news articles published from various news sources into sections and provides each news article with a certain structure. Therefore, by analysing portal news pages, it is possible to automatically extract information about news articles. In this paper, we introduce a prototype that extracts and searches key information of news articles for analysis. Specifically, we describe: 1) a crawler that collects, analyses and parses news articles; 2) an Elasticsearch server that indexes and searches news information; and 3) a front-end application that provides a search user interface. These systems are expected to provide the foundation for news analytics and forecasting services.

The relationship between government research funding and the cancer burden in South Korea: implications for prioritising health research

BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to assess health research funding allocation in South Korea by analysing the relationship between government funding and disease burden in South Korea, specifically focusing on cancers.MethodsThe relationship between research funding and the cancer burden, measured in disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), was analysed using a linear regression method over a 10-year interval. Funding information on 25 types of cancer was obtained from the National Science and Technology Information Service portal in South Korea. Measures of cancer burden were obtained from Global Burden of Disease studies. The funding predictions were derived from regression analysis and compared with actual funding allocations. In addition, we evaluated how the funding distribution reflected long-term changes in the burden and the burden specific to South Korea compared with global values.ResultsKorean funding in four periods, 2005–2007, 2008–2010, 2011–2013 and 2015–2017, were associated with the cancer burden in 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2013, respectively. For DALYs, the correlation coefficients were 0.79 and 0.82 in 2003 and 2013, respectively, which were higher than the values from other countries. However, the changes in DALYs (1990–2006) were not associated with the funding changes (from 2005 to 2007 to 2015–2017). In addition, the value differences between Korean and global DALYs were not associated with Korean government research funding.ConclusionsAlthough research funding was associated with the cancer burden in South Korea during the last decade, the distribution of research funds did not appropriately reflect the changes in burden nor the differences between the South Korean and global burden levels. The policy-makers involved in health research budgeting should consider not only the absolute burden values for singular years but also the long-term changes in burden and the country-specific burden when they prioritise public research projects.

An Effective And Robust Computerized Library Management System

Earlier Librarian needs to keep the track of books manually which consumes more time. With the advancement of new technology, Library Management System which aims in developing a computerized system that manages and stores the books information electronically. In this paper we provide an efficient access over library system application that was developed through ServiceNow platform. In ServiceNow platform we can easily develop the applications and automate the things in very less time.[1]The main purpose of this paper is to provide an easy access to library. And also to provide the details of library books, issue of books and notify the user about due dates of book being issued. This application helps the user to access the information of the books which saves time and energy. Errors are also avoided by allowing the system to keep the track of information such as issue date, due date to return the book by sending notifications to the user. In this application we have used the concepts like Form Designer,Service portal, Client Scripts, Notifications, Events and Scheduled scripts.[2]Thus, this application reduce manual work to a great extent and allows smooth flow of library activities.

Enhanced Technique For Placement Monitoring using Servicenow Portal

Placement Monitoring System is a part University placement cell which plays a crucial role in providing job opportunities to the under graduated and post graduates passing out from the college by having collaboration with many reputed industries and firms. The opportunities for the students being ready to be placed are increasing continuously. There is a lot to monitor for the placement cell authorities where they need to manage the student profile and documents related for their training and placement. They also need to collect the information about various companies that are ready to recruit students and notify the students time to time about them.[1] The background work that the placement cell needs to monitor is more. They need to maintain various platforms, large data and also they need to modify and update the data who are yet too placed and who are to be placed. And for this the updating and modification need to be done manually which is a time taking process. This project facilitates the placement monitoring system to communicate with the students and give a clear list of students who are placed and who are not. And the students who are not placed can only receive about the campus recruitment drives and the students who are placed need not receive these notifications. ServiceNow is one such platform which provides a single system/platform where every detail of the student can be monitored and send the notification emails to the students who are to be placed making the management cell their work easier. The total data can be monitored with the artifacts present in the ServiceNow itself, which includes client scripts, UI policies, notifications, workflows and service portal.
