On 16-17 December 2020, CAIDA hosted the 11th interdisciplinary Workshop on Internet Economics (WIE) in a virtual Zoom conference. This year our goal was to gather feedback from researchers on their experiences using CAIDA’s data for economics or policy research. We invited all researchers who reported use of CAIDA data in these disciplines. We discussed their successes and challenges of using the data, and how CAIDA could help these fields via Internet measurement and data curation. To avoid Zoom fatigue, we had a conversation-focused rather than presentation-focused workshop. Research topics we discussed included: Internet data for macroeconomics; connectivity and its effect on economic interdependence; effects of the EU’s new GDPR on internet interconnection; measuring corporate cyber risk; measuring work-from-home trends; measuring the economic value of open source software; and more generally how to best support evidence-based policymaking.

AbstrakPada era teknologi sekarang ini, beton adalah sebagai salah satu bahan bangunan yang paling banyak digunakan di Indonesia. Inovasi diperlukan untuk peningkatan mutu beton dalam kuat tekan beton dan harga lebih murah dibandingkan dengan beton normal. Limbah penambangan batu kapur di Wonogiri tidak dimanfaatkan dengan baik. Sehingga menimbulkan polusi udara dan mencemari lingkungan di sekitar penambangan. Maka dari itu, inovasi ini menggunakan limbah kalsit untuk ditambahkan sebagai bahan tambah pembuatan beton. Luaran yang diharapkan dalam penelitian ini adalah dapat mengetahui komposisi yang pas untuk penambahan kalsit dalam campuran pembuatan beton dan menjadikan beton dengan bahan tambah limbah kalsit sebagai beton inovatif ramah lingkungan dan memiliki nilai ekonomis. Serta draft artikel ilmiah tentang beton inovatif yang dituangkan dalam sebuah draft artikel ilmiah, laporan kemajuan dan laporan akhir. Hasil yang telah dicapai saat ini berdasarkan indikator keberhasilan jangka pendek, yaitu telah dilaksanakannya penelitian dan pembuatan beton dengan bahan tambah kalsit dengan beberapa varian, serta pengujian sampel beton setelah berumur 14 hari. Pada penelitian ini mengetahui komposisi optimum penambahan kalsit terhadap kuat tekan beton, dengan penambahan kadar kalsit sebesar 5%, 9%, dan 15% benda uji yang digunakan adalah silinder berdiameter 15 cm dengan tinggi 30 cm sebanyak 9 buah dimana pengujian dilakukan pada umur 14 hari. Hasil analisis data pengujian kuat tekan beton kalsit adanya peningkatan pada variasi 9% kalsit sebesar 20,71 MPa (4.12%) dibandingkan beton normal 19,89 MPa. Maka kesimpulannya penggunaan kalsit dapat meningkatkan kuat tekan beton.Kata Kunci: Efektivitas, Beton SCC, Kalsit, Kuat TekanAbstractConcrete is one of the most widely used building materials in Indonesia In the current technological era. Innovation is needed to improve concrete quality in concrete compressive strength and prices are cheaper than normal concrete. Waste from limestone mining in Wonogiri is not utilized properly. So that it causes air pollution and pollutes the environment around mining. Therefore, this innovation uses calcite waste to be added as an ingredient to add concrete. The expected output in this study is to be able to find out the right composition for the addition of calcite in a mixture of concrete making and to make concrete with calcite added waste as an innovative concrete that is environmentally friendly and has economic value. As well as the draft scientific article about innovative concrete as outlined in a draft scientific article, progress report and final report. The results that have been achieved at present are based on short-term success indicators, namely the research and manufacture of concrete with calcite added ingredients with several variants, as well as testing of concrete samples after being 14 days old. In this study, the optimum composition of calcite was added to the compressive strength of concrete, with the addition of calcite levels of 5%, 9%, and 15%. The test material used was a cylindrical diameter of 15 cm with a height of 9 cm in which testing was done at 14 days . The results of the analysis of the test data for compressive strength of calcite concrete was an increase in the variation of 9% of calcite by 20.71 MPa (4.12%) coMPared to normal concrete of 19.89 MPa. So the conclusion is the use of calcite can increase the concrete compressive strength.Keywords: Effectiveness, SCC Concrete, Calcite, Compressive Strength

The following commentary is part of First Monday's Special Issue #2: Open Source. This paper briefly summarises the current research on the free/libre open source software (FLOSS) communities and discusses the deficiency of a body of FLOSS research done from the sociological perspective. Since Eric Raymond's famous 'Cathedral and Bazaar' that depicts a harmoniously cooperative community/bazaar that engages 'hackers' to develop and advocate FLOSS, many other successors have adopted a similar utopian-like perspective to understand the FLOSS development and organisation processes within and across communities. However, I argue that such a view, partially valid in explaining the FLOSS development, not only ignores the diversity of population and their different articulations, interpretation on and performances towards developing FLOSS, but also neglects the different environments and contexts where FLOSS is deployed, developed and implemented. A sociological point of view is vital in that it helps understand the dynamics emerging from the heterogeneity of the FLOSS social world and allows us to see different roles played by diverse actors and various environments and contexts where FLOSS evolves differently. This paper concludes with a list of suggested research topics for future studies.

This study was an impetus from the experiences of two Malaysian students who embarked on a credit transfer programme to Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo, Indonesia. The programme was to uphold the Internationalisation of Education (ILe) as proposed by a public university in Malaysia. The aim of the study was to explicate the successes and challenges that the students had endeavoured during the programme for 6 months.  The methods employed were document analysis and interview.  The data were collected via learning journal entries which the students submitted through email to be compiled by the researchers as well as their final report which was submitted at the end of the programme. In order to triangulate the data, they were then interviewed once they came back to Malaysia. The data from both methods were analysed thematically following Merriam’s (2009) two-level analysis.  Four themes emerged from the data – experiences, public relations, independence and communication skills.  Each of the theme details both successes and challenges. These findings provide input for a draft of guidelines for any faculty or university to conduct a credit transfer programme in the future.

[Extract from Executive Summary] To enhance sustainability and foster resilience within Scotland’s inshore fishing communities an effective system of collecting and sharing relevant data is required. To support business decisions made by vessel owners as well as informing fisheries managers and those involved in marine planning it will be vital to collect a range of information which will provide a robust understanding of fishing activity, the economic value of the sector and its importance within local communities. The SIFIDS Project was conceived to assist in attaining these goals by working alongside fishers to develop and test technology to automatically collect and collate data on board vessels, thereby reducing the reporting burden on fishers. The project built upon previous research funded through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) and was designed to deliver a step change in the way that inshore fisheries in Scotland could be managed in cooperation with the industry. The project focussed on inshore fishing vessels around Scotland, where spatio-temporal information on the distribution of vessels and associated fishing effort is data deficient. The whole project was broken down into 12 highly integrated work packages. This is the integrated report for work packages 2A and 2B, entitled’ Development and Pilot Deployment of a Prototypic Autonomous Fisheries Data Harvesting System’ (2A) and ‘Investigation into the Availability and Adaptability of Novel Technological Approaches to Data Collection’ (2B).

While there is growing faith in community organizing to influence policy as a way to improve the built environment and increase food or recreational equity, relatively little research is available examining the successes and challenges of community organizing in Latino communities attempting to reduce obesity. Using process and outcome evaluation data, we present preliminary findings from a study of two community-based organizations that are making efforts to increase access to physical activity and access to healthy foods in predominantly Latino areas. The organizations are part of Communities Creating Healthy Environments (CCHE), a national initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to prevent childhood obesity. Both community-based organizations were able to achieve redistribution of public resources to advance their CCHE objectives. We discuss the study’s implications, including the need for public policy research around obesity that examines community organizing as an intervention.
