<p>Sistem penyimpanan melalui cloud memiliki banyak keunggulan, seperti kemampuan akses dari lokasi manapun serta kemudahan penyimpanan pencadangan file-file pada komputer dan smartphone. Terdapat banyak pilihan layanan penyimpanan melalui cloud, seperti Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, dan Box. Dari beberapa jenis layanan peyimpanan tersebut Box adalah satu-satunya layanan penyimpanan cloud yang mampu menjamin tingkat reliability uptime hingga 99.9%. Awalnnya, Box hanya ditujukan untuk kegiatan bisnis saja, namun sekarang Box dapat digunakan oleh pengguna secara umum. Selain memberikan pengaruh yang positif, pertumbuhan penggunaan teknologi layanan penyimpanan cloud juga telah memberikan peningkatan dalam peluang terjadinya kejahatan di dunia maya. Forensik digital merupakan solusi terbaru dalam mengamati keamanan sistem dan jaringan, sementara forensik bergerak adalah pengembangan forensic digital yang sepenuhnya difokuskan pada media smartphone. Forensik bergerak dapat dilakukan dalam dua sisi, yaitu server dan client. Studi kasus dalam penelitian ini berfokus pada penggunaan smartphone OS Android yang terinstal Box sebagai layanan penyimpanan cloud. Sedangkan tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyediakan sebuah metode forensik bergerak untuk menemukan artefak pada smartphone Android yang telah terinstal dengan aplikasi Box.</p><p><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Judul2"><em>Storing files in a cloud has many advantages, such as the ability to access them from any location and to keep backups of those files on computers and smartphones.

Since the United Nations (UN) approved the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development in 2015, higher education institutions have increasingly demonstrated their commitment by supporting several initiatives. Although a great deal of progress has been made, there is still a lack of integrative approaches to truly implement Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in higher education. This paper presents a practical case that illustrates how to design and articulate SDGs within an institutional setting adopting a holistic approach: EHUagenda 2030 plan of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). It is based on empirical inquiry into global and holistic sustainable transformation and a real experience to move towards a verifiable and pragmatic contribution to sustainability. This plan describes the contribution to 12 of the 17 SDGs, along with three sectorial plans (Equality Campus, Inclusion Campus and Planet Campus), as well as the refocus of the UPV/EHU’s Educational Model and the panel of sustainable development indicators, which addresses the technical aspects of monitoring the SDGs. The methodology (mapping; mainstreaming; diagnosis and definition and, finally, estimation) is systematic and replicable in other universities yet to embark upon this integration. This case study makes a contribution towards the understanding of the complexity of the changes in Higher Education and the ways to approach it.

AbstractThe literature on the water–energy–food nexus has repeatedly signaled the need for transdisciplinary approaches capable of weaving the plurality of knowledge bodies involved in the governance of different resources. To fill this gap, Quantitative Story-Telling (QST) has been proposed as a science for adaptive governance approach that aims at fostering pluralistic and reflexive research processes to overcome narrow framings of water, energy, and food policies as independent domains. Yet, there are few practical applications of QST and most run on a pan-European scale. In this paper, we apply the theory of QST through a practical case study regarding non-conventional water sources as an innovation for water and agricultural governance in the Canary Islands. We present the methods mixed to mobilize different types of knowledge and analyze interconnections between water, energy, and food supply. First, we map and interview relevant knowledge holders to elicit narratives about the current and future roles of alternative water resources in the arid Canarian context. Second, we run a quantitative diagnosis of nexus interconnections related to the use of these resources for irrigation. This analysis provides feedback to the narratives in terms of constraints and uncertainties that might hamper the expectations posed on this innovation. Thirdly, the mixed analysis is used as fuel for discussion in participatory narrative assessment workshops. Our experimental QST process succeeded in co-creating new knowledge regarding the water–energy–food nexus while addressing some relational and epistemological uncertainties in the development of alternative water resources. Yet, the extent to which mainstream socio-technical imaginaries surrounding this innovation were transformed was rather limited. We conclude that the potential of QST within sustainability place-based research resides on its capacity to: (a) bridge different sources of knowledge, including local knowledge; (b) combine both qualitative and quantitative information regarding the sustainable use of local resources, and (c) co-create narratives on desirable and viable socio-technical pathways. Open questions remain as to how to effectively mobilize radically diverse knowledge systems in complex analytical exercises where everyone feels safe to participate.
