This paper presents how IoT and its related technologies are used to tame human kidnapping. IoT design, geo-fencing, API integration, and GPS signal formed the backbone of the proposed system. While the GSM base stations provide signals for the system, the frontends are the mobile phone devices, application interface, and the GPS. The location signal is transmitted to the server when the subject enters or exits the geofence for movement and direction tracing. The IoT component hosts the web application, MySQL and GMS are used to provide backend solutions, and the GPS guarantees communication and placement of the subject on the search map. The implementation involved suitable platforms and engines and followed up with case study of kidnapping scenarios involving 20 randomly selected individuals. The study established the practical function of the system and its good performances in areas of availability, concealment, security, location accuracy, seamless data transmission, among others. Comparative analysis with related works also established the relative strength of the new method.

Mobile money is an electronic wallet service that allows users to store, send and receive money using their mobile phone. This research is an effort to find out the adoption and utilization of mobile money services in small sized enterprises located in Gaborone, Botswana. Inevitably, other aspects such as different types of transactions carried out using mobile money services in small business, customer’s perception on quality of mobile money service providers, impeding factors of mobile money adoption are also studied for wider understanding of the subject. The findings of the study show that small enterprises use mobile money services to carryout transactions but the level of adoption is not significant. The study revealed that transactional costs and connectivity issues are major barriers of adoption of mobile money services. In conclusion the study recommended that the service providers must improve the connectivity issues and reduce transaction charges in order to increase the utilization of mobile money services

The paper provides suggestions for cataloguing session materials (especially minutes of sessions) using the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data and MARC 21 Format for Authority Data. The suggested solution is shown on the example of materials from the government of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in Serbia (APV) sessions. Two business applications were developed on the basis of this MARC 21 cataloguing of the materials: a web application for searching government materials and a web application for generating various reports for the APV government. The web application supports searching metadata as well as the full text of the material and search criteria may include all of the given words or exact phrase. The examples of the reports supported by the application are: total number of sessions; total number of agenda items and sub-items; session attendance by the government members.

Recent coronavirus lockdowns have had a significant impact on how students study. As states shut down schools, millions of students are now required to study at home with pre-recorded videos. This, however, proves challenging, as teachers have no way of knowing whether or not students are paying attention to the videos, and students may be easily distracted from important parts of the videos. Currently, there is virtually no research and development of applications revolving specifically around the subject of effectively taking digital notes from videos. This paper introduces the web application we developed for streamlined, video-focused auto-schematic note-taking. We applied our application to school-related video lectures and conducted a qualitative evaluation of the approach. The results show that the tools increase productivity when taking notes from a video, and are more effective and informational than conventional paper notes.

This paper examines Social Network Site (SNS) users’ criticism of a popular style of SNS profile picture referred to as “MySpace Angles.” Reactions to this style of portraiture label the display of these photographs “deceptive,” alleging that MySpace Angles fool users into believing that the subject is more attractive than they actually are. This case study approach utilizes a close reading analysis of the MySpace Angle commentary, revealing three main themes in users’ critique of MySpace Angles: 1) users who post these photographs are conforming to a social trend at the expense of their individuality; 2) the presentation of these photographs is narcissistic; and, 3) these photographs purposefully conceal the body. This case study displays a shift in the conception of deception online; on the social Web populated by SNSs, theories of deception and authenticity are called into question as users are increasingly anchored to their bodies and expected to effortlessly present an online self mirroring the off-line self.

Research Question: RQ1: What is fraud? RQ2: Where do we find fraud? It is fraud a multidisciplinary element? Why? Motivation: Most of the literature states that fraud is a topic of great interest, but no one has tried to prove why, but also to show how much interest in publishing about the subject of fraud has increased. Idea: Our study looked at an  international database (Web of Science) to demonstrate the growing interest in studying fraud  in various fields. But we also did a case study presenting a complex case of fraud, discovered by DGAF in Romania. Data: The data were collected from Web of  Science database and an analysis was made based on the 17,825 results found when searching for the word "fraud", and then we also did a case study presenting a complex case of fraud, discovered by DGAF in Romania, collecting data by direct observation of one of the authors. Tools: To test study’s hypotheses, we analyzed the Web of Science database. Findings: The results answer in the affirmative to the research question. Also, the implications of the results are that all actors can outline an overview of the phenomenon, but especially reveals the gaps in the discovery of the phenomenon. Contribution: Most of the literature states that fraud is a topic of great interest, but no one has tried to prove why, but also to show how much interest in publishing about the subject of fraud has increased.

The aim of the study is to present the implemented “smart” solutions and the developed indicators of their measurement in the context of the city of Częstochowa (Poland), as well as a participant in the “Benchmarking—we are looking for the best smart city solutions”. In order to achieve the assumed goal, a traditional review of the literature on the subject in the field of “smart city” was carried out. Then, the methodological assumptions related to developing a model set of indicators for cities participating in the program have been presented. In addition, a comparative analysis of the obtained indicators values for cities, Częstochowa and Bydgoszcz, has been carried out in the scope of one exemplary measure. The proposed research procedure can be used to analyze and evaluate cities in the country, as well as to select alternative solutions in the context of other urban features. Due to the fact that other cities in Poland will also participate in the study, the significance of this work will have a wide impact. The research presented in the article is only a part of an intended larger initiative in which several dozen Polish cities will take part.
