Information And Communication

This chapter provides a basic understanding of emerging key information and communication technologies which are increasingly critical for economic growth and development. It establishes the distance to high-quality access to the internet for the least developed and other countries. Broad-based access is key in order to make use of ICT-related innovations. The chapter underlines the importance of governments creating a more open and competitive environment in order to attract infrastructure investment in terms, among others, of fibre-optic rings and cable links, foster rivalry among suppliers of services, thereby benefiting users and consumers with lower prices and better-quality services. Ultimately, the challenge is, through sound public policy, to steer societies from being marginalized by the major technological changes in information and communication.

Poverty Levels

High-quality economic growth is economic growth that can encourage industrialization, can create jobs as wide as possible and can encourage the performance of other sectors more efficiently and effectively, high economic growth accompanied by efficient and effective allocation of resources can be stimulus in development to improve people's income so that it can reduce poverty. To reduce the level of poor people, of course, requires increased economic growth and equitable income distribution, rapid economic growth and not balanced with equity will lead to inequality between regions. There are several kinds of disparities that often block a society in its efforts to achieve prosperity, namely: (1) disparities between regions, (2) disparities between sectors, (3) disparities in the income distribution of the community. Studi aims to examine and analyze the effect of government investment and private investment on poverty levels through economic growth and labor absorption in South Kalimantan Province. The data analysis method used in this study is PLS to test the seven hypotheses formulated in this study. The conclusions of the results of this study are: 1) Government investment has a significant impact on economic growth. 2) Government investment does not have a significant impact on labor absorption. 3) Private investment does not have a significant impact on economic growth. 4) Private investment has a significant impact on labor absorption. 5) Economic growth has a significant impact on labor absorption. 6) Economic growth has a significant impact on reducing poverty levels. 7) Labor absorption has a significant impact on reducing poverty levels.

In recent years, the number of forged videos circulating on the Internet has immensely increased. Software and services to create such forgeries have become more and more accessible to the public. In this regard, the risk of malicious use of forged videos has risen. This work proposes an approach based on the Ghost effect knwon from image forensics for detecting forgeries in videos that can replace faces in video sequences or change the mimic of a face. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is able to identify forgery in high-quality encoded video content.

The Internet Of Things

The economic diversification concept gives hope for a country with rich natural resources to strengthen its economic basis. Thus industrial revolution era of 4.0 provides great opportunity to fasten the process. A study by McKensey in 2011 proved that the internet in the developing country contributes around 3.4% towards its GDP which means that the internet has become a new hope for the economy in the future. Indonesia is one of the countries that is attempting to maximize the role of the Internet of Things (IoT) for its economic growth.� The attempt has made the retail and tourism industries as the two main sectors to experience the significant effect of IoT. In the process of optimizing the IoT to support the economic growth, Indonesia faces several issues especially in the term of the internet network quality and its distribution, the inclusive access of financial access and the infrastructure

This study examines the causal relationship between the Internet and economic factors in Asian economies between 1997 and 2017. The economic factors consist of gross domestic product (GDP), foreign direct investment (FDI), imports, and exports. A comparative analysis of East, South, and Western Asia was conducted using a panel vector autoregressive model. The findings show bidirectional causality between FDI and Internet use in South Asia, unidirectional causality from Internet use to FDI in East Asia, and unidirectional causality from FDI to Internet use in Western Asia. Moreover, the findings indicate unidirectional causality from exports to Internet use in East Asia and unidirectional causality from Internet use to exports in South Asia, but no impact in Western Asia. Finally, the results show unidirectional causality from Internet use to GDP in Western Asia. As these results suggest that Internet use has boosted economic performance in Asia, policy makers in the region should improve Internet use with a focus on economic growth, improving transaction efficiency, and facilitating foreign investment.

Abstract To better understand the spread of fake news in the Internet age, it is important to uncover the variables that influence the perceived truth of information. Although previous research identified several reliable predictors of truth judgments—such as source credibility, repeated information exposure, and presentation format—little is known about their simultaneous effects. In a series of four experiments, we investigated how the abovementioned factors jointly affect the perceived truth of statements (Experiments 1 and 2) and simulated social media postings (Experiments 3 and 4). Experiment 1 explored the role of source credibility (high vs. low vs. no source information) and presentation format (with vs. without a picture). In Experiments 2 and 3, we additionally manipulated repeated exposure (yes vs. no). Finally, Experiment 4 examined the role of source credibility (high vs. low) and type of repetition (congruent vs. incongruent vs. no repetition) in further detail. In sum, we found no effect of presentation format on truth judgments, but strong, additive effects of source credibility and repetition. Truth judgments were higher for information presented by credible sources than non-credible sources and information without sources. Moreover, congruent (i.e., verbatim) repetition increased perceived truth whereas semantically incongruent repetition decreased perceived truth, irrespectively of the source. Our findings show that people do not rely on a single judgment cue when evaluating a statement’s truth but take source credibility and their meta-cognitive feelings into account.
