Security Risk Analysis for Information Asset
Get PDFInformation in its multitude of forms has been recognized as
‘Information Asset’. Protecting information asset is a vital importance to an
organization nowadays as it has become a key asset in any organization. As such
securities to avoid the damage and leakage for information asset are vital. The best
method to do this is applying a security risk model. The aim of this research is to
find the prevalent risks that affect Intellectual Property (IP) and their corresponding
threats, consequences, and probabilities. The research design used is the qualitative
method, this is as information asset and security risk analysis are experts’ fields it
is imperative to have an in-depth discussion with the experts in these fields. This
research will show the risks that have been found from the semi-structured
interviews conducted and their corresponding threats, consequences, and
probabilities. However, more research is warranted to get the views of other parties
that are involved in IP such as IP Lawyers to get their perspectives and inputs
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Risk Management for Cloud Computing Projects in Healthcare
No full textBackground - In this technological age, there has been rapid advances in technology such as in cloud
computing. There are benefit, opportunities, and value to be gained from cloud computing in the
healthcare sector. However, there has also been introduction of new risk and challenges in these new
cloud computing infrastructure and environment which may cause failure in the cloud computing project
in the healthcare sector.
Purpose - The purpose of this research is to construct a risk management model for cloud computing
projects in healthcare that describes possible risks and their corresponding treatments and controls.
Design/methodology/approach - This study adopts an epistemological inquiry that adopts a pragmatist
approach with the research design being an exploratory sequential mixed-method design. The methods
that are being used in this study is systematic literature review inclusive of technical report, constant
comparison method, Delphi method augmented by semi-structured interview, and risk model simulation.
Findings/Expected Contributions - From the literature review on technical reports and/or standards, 13
common risk classes have been found to be discussed and reported. These risk classes were discussed in
one or more technical reports and/or standards. Academic papers from five databases were also found
that discusses these risk classes and their related indicators.
Research limitations - There has not been a lot of papers that specifically talks about risk management in
cloud computing projects in healthcare.
Originality/value - This study focuses on the risk management i.e., the decision-making aspect of cloud
computing projects which is not extensively discussed in currently especially in the healthcare sector even
though some of the risk that affect cloud computing projects affect this sector the most
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
A Systematic Review: Risk Management of Cloud Computing Projects in Healthcare : DOI: https://doi.org/10.33093/ijomfa.2023.4.2.5
No full textCloud computing has become a major driver for innovation in this technological age. All sectors around the world have increasingly moved towards cloud adoption including the healthcare sector. However, cloud computing projects with other IT projects come with their own set of risks that could be costly for organizations if they materialized. This study aims to provide an understanding of the risks of cloud computing projects in healthcare by using a systematic literature review augmented by the constant comparison method.63 articles from five major databases written from the year 2010 to 2022 were reviewed as they are related to cloud computing projects. More specifically, this study shows 198 unique indicators that were categorized into risks, threats, vulnerabilities, probabilities, consequences, and control procedure categories which then were classified into 13 distinct risk classes that can be found in such projects
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
