How Can Secure Websites Improve Buying Intention?
2014
A conceptual model is proposed to show 3 effects of augmenting security perceptions (more pleasure, less perceived risk and higher trust) in order to improve buying intention. The role of usability in reinforcing these direct and indirect security effects has also been tested. This study examines the reinforcement of previous relationships in highly usable contexts. To test this, a fictitious website was designed for a nonexistent clothing company directed at the segment of middle class consumers. Two blocks of changes were made to alter website usability: one concerning website speed and the other related to ease of use. Results for a study sample of 170 respondents show that in usable con…
A User-Centered Approach to Digital Household Risk Management
2020
Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to become as common as electricity (OECD 2016) and there is a high probability for connected homes to become central parts of critical societal. IoT technologies might access, manage and record sensitive data about citizens and, as they become more and more pervasive, unintended data breaches reports increase every week. However, most of the tools designed to protect users’ privacy and personal data on IoT devices fail to contemplate the experience of persons with disabilities, elderly and other vulnerable categories of people. As a consequence, they are forced to rely on the help of family members or other related persons with technical skills, as frequ…
Cybertherapy meets Facebook, Blogger and Second Life: an Italian experience
2009
Our project is based on the study of Cybertherapy in the international sphere (USA, Northern Europe) and on the application of this discipline to the Italian psychiatric and psychological reality. CyberTherapy can be used as an "aim", referring to it as real and proper therapy, which lives on personalized paths created by a qualified staff, conceived as ludic, for recreational, psycoterapic, and educational purpose. Moreover, Cybertherapy can be used as a "mean" (and in this way we want to propose it) with the aim of making the user, who feels a psychiatric or a psychological uneasiness, to become closer to qualified staff; a considerable advantage of this discipline is to reduce to a minim…
Reading the Web—Students' Perceptions about the Internet
2006
This study explores the perceptions of Finnish 15‐year‐olds on the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet. The data, students' written responses (N = 3112), were gathered in the context of the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in the spring of 2000 as a national option. The data were analysed by close reading and using the Atlas.ti application for coding. Students regard easy access to a variety of current information as the most important advantage of the Internet. Finding new friends and chatting with old ones was also emphasised, as well as the downloading capacities of the Internet. Although problems of finding reliable and truthful information were recogn…
Motivation and Consequences of Internet and Mobile Phone Usage among the Urban Poor in Kampala, Uganda
2015
The Internet and mobile phones are rapidly diffusing throughout communities, and it is important to understand what people are actually doing with their access to these technologies. This study seeks to improve our understanding of the motivational factors and social and economic consequences of such use among the urban poor, which is examined through the Diffusion of Innovations Theory (DoI) and the Capability Approach (CA). The combined theoretical perspective was introduced to explore findings of an explorative case study conducted among the urban poor in Kampala, Uganda, where Internet access was found to be low due to high illiteracy and associated costs. On the other hand, mobile phon…
Is It Possible to Educate, Intervene or “Cure” Autism Spectrum Disorder? A Content Analysis of YouTube Videos
2021
YouTube es uno de los sitios web más conocidos y de mayor acceso en todo el mundo, por lo que tiene un gran potencial pedagógico. No obstante, la calidad y la veracidad de algunos videos de YouTube son cuestionables. Las dudas sobre la confiabilidad del contenido fáctico es un factor controvertido que debe tenerse en cuenta, especialmente cuando se abordan cuestiones de salud pública. Por ello, el principal objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el contenido de los vídeos en español más vistos en YouTube relacionados con el trastorno del espectro autista (TEA). Para la realización de esta investigación se utilizaron los términos "autismo Y educación", "autismo Y intervención" y "autismo Y cur…
Quando la macchina organizza il lavoratore. Spunti su eterodirezione e sistema voice-picking nei contratti di appalto
2022
Nel presente contributo, dopo aver dato atto, per cenni, degli orientamenti giurisprudenziali più recenti in tema di interposizione illecita di manodopera, forniscono alcuni spunti di riflessione in merito al problematico utilizzo, negli appalti ad alta intensità di manodopera nel settore della logistica, del sistema c.d. voice-picking, con cui il personale adibito alle lavorazioni nei magazzini viene guidato da una voce sintetizzata nell’esecuzione della prestazione lavorativa. In this contribution, after acknowledging, for hints, the most recent jurisprudential guidelines on the subject of the illegal interposition of manpower, they provide some food for thought on the problematic use, in…

Encryption and Generation of Images for Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning in Smart Manufacturing
2023
Current advances in machine (deep) learning and the exponential growth of data collected by and shared between smart manufacturing processes give a unique opportunity to get extra value from that data. The use of public machine learning services actualizes the issue of data privacy. Ordinary encryption protects the data but could make it useless for the machine learning objectives. Therefore, “privacy of data vs. value from data” is the major dilemma within the privacy preserving machine learning activity. Special encryption techniques or synthetic data generation are being in focus to address the issue. In this paper, we discuss a complex hybrid protection algorithm, which assumes sequenti…
ISO/IEC 27001 -standardi yleisen tietosuoja-asetuksen kontekstissa
2017
EU:n tietosuojalainsäädäntö uudistui 24.5.2016, kun yleinen tietosuoja-asetus astui voimaan ja lakia aletaan soveltaa käytännössä kahden vuoden siirtymäajan jälkeen 25.5.2018. Tämä yleinen tietosuoja-asetus on merkittävä uudistus, joka esittelee monia lisäyksiä ja tarkennuksia vanhaan henkilödirektiiviin ja tutkielman kirjoittamisen ajankohtana siirtymäaika on jo käynnissä. Tutkielma toteutettiin kirjallisuuskatsauksena ja tutkielman varsinaisena tarkoituksena oli selvittää, pystyykö tunnettu tietoturvallisuuden hallintajärjestelmä -standardi, ISO/IEC 27001:2013, vastaamaan yleisen tietosuoja-asetuksen moniin vaatimuksiin. Toisin sanoen tarkoituksena oli vertailla standardin ja asetuksen va…
