BACKGROUND Third-party cloud-based data analysis applications are proliferating in eHealth because of the expertise offered and their monetary advantage. However, privacy and security are critical when handling sensitive medical data in the cloud. Technical advances, based on “crypto magic” in privacy-enhancing machine learning, enable data analysis in encrypted form for maintaining confidentiality. The adoption of such technologies could be counter-intuitive to relevant stakeholders in eHealth; more attention is needed on human factors for establishing trust and transparency. OBJECTIVE To analyze eHealth stakeholders' mental models and the perceived trade-offs in regard to data analysis on encrypted medical data in the cloud. METHODS In this study, we used semi-structured interviews and report on 14 interviews with medical, technical, or research expertise in eHealth. RESULTS Results show differences in understanding of, and in trusting, the technology; caution is advised by technical-experts, whereas safety-assurances are required by medical-expert. Concerns regarding the technology relate to the type of encryption applied and achieved confidentiality, quality of analysis results, data integrity and availability, transparency, and trust. CONCLUSIONS Understanding risks and benefits is crucial, thus collaboration among relevant stakeholders is needed. In addition, informing clinicians and patients accordingly is important for transparency and establishing trust. CLINICALTRIAL none

AbstractSmart Home technologies have the potential to increase the quality of life, home security and facilitate elderly care. Therefore, they require access to a plethora of data about the users’ homes and private lives. Resulting security and privacy concerns form a relevant barrier to adopting this promising technology. Aiming to support end users’ informed decision-making through addressing the concerns we first conducted semi-structured interviews with 42 potential and little-experienced Smart Home users. Their diverse concerns were clustered into four themes that center around attacks on Smart Home data and devices, the perceived loss of control, the trade-off between functionality and security, and user-centric concerns as compared to concerns on a societal level. Second, we discuss measures to address the four themes from an interdisciplinary perspective. The paper concludes with recommendations for addressing user concerns and for supporting developers in designing user-centered Smart Home technologies.

Introduction. Ability to gather and process medical data serves as a basic tool of doctor’s work, which can be improved by applying communication protocols. In most cases, however, instructions presented by such models are too general and do not take into account patients’ preferences. Material and Methods. The study was carried out in the form of an electronic questionairre sent to a randomly chosen group of adult patients (N = 967). It consisted of close-ended questions about the quality of communication skills of family practitioners and specialists working at outpatient clinics and health centers.  Results. Only 21% of patients claimed that the appointment started on time. 51% mentioned disruptions during the meeting, mainly by a third party (34%). A considerable majority of physicians carried out the interview in a manner that was understood by patients, nevertheless 56.6% of the respondents felt underinformed as far as the nature of their illness was concerned – these objections were mostly expressed by patients suffering from chronic diseases. Conclusions. Our research shows that a proper organization of work as well as observing the principles of appropriate clinical communication can facilitate doctors’ performance, and thus increase both the level of patients’ satisfaction and the quality of medical services.

Objectives: Despite the positive effects of remarriage on elderlies’ quality of life, marriage in this period is a taboo among people of the society. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the experiences of the elderly regarding remarriage. Methods: This conventional content analysis study was conducted in Iran during 2018. Semi-structured interviews with 20 elderlies living in Tehran were conducted to collect data. For data analysis, Graneheim and Lundman’s approach was adopted. The interviews were continued until reaching data saturation. Results: After data analysis, four main categories and 14 subcategories appeared. The main categories included “there is no fool like an old fool”, “spring in autumn”, “gift of old age”, and “realistic choice.” Conclusions: Remarriage prevents many future problems for elderlies, such as the feeling of rejection, loneliness, isolation, depression, and low self-esteem. Therefore, serious efforts and planning are required to promote the knowledge level of the society regarding this issue.

Recently, smartphone usage has increased tremendously, and smartphones are being used as a requirement of daily life, equally by all age groups. Smartphone operating systems such as Android and iOS have made it possible for anyone with development skills to create apps for smartphones. This has enabled smartphone users to download and install applications from stores such as Google Play, App Store, and several other third-party sites. During installation, these applications request resource access permissions from users. The resources include hardware and software like contact, memory, location, managing phone calls, device state, messages, camera, etc. As per Google’s permission policy, it is the responsibility of the user to allow or deny any permissions requested by an app. This leads to serious privacy violation issues when an app gets illegal permission granted by a user (e.g., an app might request for granted map permission and there is no need for map permission in the app, and someone can thereby access your location by this app). This study investigates the behavior of the user when it comes to safeguarding their privacy while installing apps from Google Play. In this research, first, seven different applications with irrelevant permission requests were developed and uploaded to two different Play Store accounts. The apps were live for more than 12 months and data were collected through Play Store analytics as well as the apps’ policy page. The preliminary data analysis shows that only 20% of users showed concern regarding their privacy and security either through interaction with the development team through email exchange or through commenting on the platform and other means accordingly.

This study examines the findings of a survey of small, high innovator firms and their assessment of the risks and benefits of forming strategic alliances with third party "complementors". The study found that the entrepreneurs of these small innovator firms were willing to form strategic alliances where such collaboration would assist in reducing customer perceptions of risk in the adoption of their innovation, while also enhancing the customer's understanding of the innovation. However, the entrepreneur of the small firm also needed to be confident that the alliance would allow him or her to retain control over the quality of the final outcome to their customer. These findings suggest that education of the entrepreneur in the development and management of strategic networks may be a useful enhancement to the process of innovation in small firms.

Hiring decisions are typically made by committees members of which have different capacity to estimate the quality of candidates. Organizational structure and voting rules in the committees determine the incentives and strategies of applicants; thus, construction of a modern university requires a political structure that provides committee members and applicants with optimal incentives. The existing political-economic model of informative voting typically lacks any degree of variance in the organizational structure, while political-economic models of organization typically assume a parsimonious information structure. In this paper, we propose a simple framework to analyze trade-offs in optimal subdivision of universities into departments and subdepartments, and allocation of political power.
