In an era of globalization, economies over the world have become increasingly international and competitive. According to Alahuhta et al (2005), the last three decade has seen a massive revolution in technology use at both individual and organizations level with several organizations replacing the manual system of operation with modern technologies and computer powered machines. Acheampong, et al (2017) explain that three decades ago it was a dream to conceive that at a point in time all of the world’s knowledge could be put on a single world wide web and browsed by people from different parts of the world for free. These are the realities of the contemporary business place which Casey & Wilson-Evered (2012) explained has been facilitated by the advances in technology and globalization. According to Zaremohzzabieh, et al (2014), e-commerce platform appeared along with the development of internet and the necessities of ventures has given a web-based exchanging spot to customers and suppliers. It is a virtual system for purchasers and merchants, utilizing computer programming technology to coordinate assets on the web and accomplish the objective of community program (Ruzzier, AntonciC, Hisrich, & Konecnik, 2007). E-commerce platform gives all members equivalent and public information location of many services. Merchants can disseminate product information on e-commerce platforms, while purchasers can get a wide range of information without going outside (Strauss, 2016). As a new trend in the economic development and a new pattern of future business advancement, e-commerce platform plays a critical part with many attributes i.e. third party, service nature, neutrality and integration (Ling, et al, 2010).

Databases and the World Wide Web have overwhelmed the information market. Bibliographic reference databases with links to electronic journals that publish full text manuscripts provide information seekers with a wide range of fast and convienient searching methods. Increasingly organisations present their activities on the WWW which allows them to disseminate updated information about their experts, publications and on-going research projects better than was possible previously. The web technology has a major advantage over printed products since it allows end-users to search, browse and print the information in different formats according to their own specific needs. Agricultural and food science papers published in Finland have been documented annually in this journal for a number of years, but the advent of web technologies have made this much less valuable.;

Point Of Departure

This chapter takes its point of departure from the fact that corruption typically involves the interaction of a wide range of actors – including mediators and third-party enforcers specialised in the job of ensuring a sufficient degree of trust between the counterparts to enable transactions to be concluded successfully. It is on these third-party enforcers – referred to as ‘mafias’ – that the chapter focusses, as they offer the threat of violence to ensure that, once the parties to a corrupt exchange have agreed to do business, the terms are actually respected. To that extent, they offer something analogous to the insurance policies available, in the world of legal contracts, to protect firms and individuals against non-compliance or the consequences of non-compliance. They might also be regarded as analogous to legal debt collection agencies or private security firms, the difference being that once their services have been engaged, they cannot easily be dismissed. The chapter begins by looking at the characteristics of mafias, before considering the conditions under which they succeed in establishing themselves as powerful entities able to offer the protection and contract enforcement that are their distinguishing features. It then considers the relationship between mafias and corruption in some detail.

Data Transfers

Internet intermediaries - service providers, Web hosting companies,Internet backbone providers, online marketplaces, and search engines -process hundreds of millions of data transfers every day, and host or linkto literally tens of billions of items of third party content.Some of this content is illegal. In the last 12 years, both Congress andthe courts have concluded that Internet intermediaries should not be liablefor a wide range of content posted or sent through their systems byanother. The reasoning behind these immunities is impeccable: if Internetintermediaries were liable every time someone posted problematic content onthe Internet, the resulting threat of liability and effort at rightsclearance would debilitate the Internet.While the logic of some sort of safe harbor for Internet intermediaries isclear, the actual content of those safe harbors is not. Rather, the safeharbors actually in place are a confusing and illogical patchwork. For someclaims, the safe harbors are absolute. For others, they preclude damagesliability but not injunctive relief. For still others they are dependent onthe implementation of a "notice and takedown" system. And for at least afew types of claims, there is no safe harbor at all. This patchwork makesno sense. In this article, I suggest that it be replaced with a uniformsafe harbor rule. A single, rationally designed safe harbor based on thetrademark model would not only permit plaintiffs the relief they need whileprotecting Internet intermediaries from unreasonable liability, but wouldalso serve as a much needed model for the rest of the world, which has yetto understand the importance of intermediaries to a vibrant Internet.

The work is devoted to the development of a computing node for processing satellite and spatial data for earth sciences by the example of its implementation as part of the Information and Analytical Environment to support scientific research in geology of the Vernadsky State Geological Museum (SGM RAS). The prerequisites for the creation of such a computing node and the requirements for it to solve geological problems are given. An overview of cloud platforms for access to satellite and spatial data and its processing has been presented. Based on the overview a conceptual diagram of a computing node has been proposed and the list of modern technologies required for building it has been determined. The developed node provides tools for searching data from external cloud providers, processing them with various built-in and custom algorithms, as well as tools for visualizing the results. It is an independent web service, although it is part of the Computational and Analytical Geological Environment of SGM RAS and is integrated with its services. This allows a wide range of users to access data and processing algorithms provided by computing node, including integrating it into other information systems as a third-party application for processing satellite and spatial data.

This research explores the relationship between e-learning and m-learning by investigating distance education students’ use of a learning management system, “Interact,” for virtual team work. The paper explores their experience of online collaborative group assignments in the subject “Information Management in Organisations.” International and local students were grouped. Each group undertook a case study project to propose solutions for identified problems in their chosen organisations. Students developed their assignment in wikis and used various tools for communication and document storage. An anonymous web-based survey was conducted after students completed the group assessment. The results reflected a wide range of factors including technology use, working with students from a different country, and challenges they faced completing group assessment online. Their feedback on their e-learning experience indicated the need for m-learning to address their concerns. The findings indicate a need for m-learning to support e-learning further, which could significantly improve the facilitation of online collaborative group assignments.

Citation Searching

According to information scientists, information is modified into knowledge by adding experience. Researchers need powerful and successful filters to help them stay abreast of literature in their field, as well as methods to track the impact of their own research in often very specialized areas of interest. Traditional mechanisms such as peer review and citation searching using bibliometrics are no longer sufficient tools to aid researchers. How can librarians become leaders and powerful allies in this new landscape? Enter the world of Altmetrics. Altmetrics, or alternative citation metrics, provides researchers and scholars with new ways to track influence across a wide range of media and platforms. Altmetrics are metrics and qualitative data that are complementary to traditional, citation-based metrics. Altmetrics is a field of web-based metrics that accounts for total author influence which also looks beyond journal and monographic citation counts to the social web. The aim of this chapter is to explain the concept of library and librarian involvement with altmetrics.

Smart Cars

Abstract The popularity of smart cars is increasing around the world as they offer a wide range of services and conveniences. These smart cars are equipped with a variety of sensors generating a large amount of data, many of which are critical. Besides, there are multiple parties involved in the lifespan of a smart car, such as manufacturers, car owners, government agencies, and third-party service providers who also generate data about the vehicle. In addition to managing and sharing data among these entities in a secure and privacy-friendly way which is a great challenge itself, there exists a trust deficit about some types of data as they remain under the custody of the car owner (e.g. satellite navigation and mileage data) and can easily be manipulated. In this article, we propose a blockchain-assisted architecture enabling the owner of a smart car to create an immutable record of every data, called the autobiography of a car, generated within its lifespan. We also explain how the trust about this record is guaranteed by the immutability characteristic of the blockchain. Furthermore, the article describes how the proposed architecture enables a secure and privacy-preserving mechanism for sharing of smart car data among different parties.
