Cybersecurity posture research in small organizations
Get PDFThis study presents the results of empirical research of cybersecurity posture of small organizations in North Macedonia. The results are present as quantitative determined value within a defined taxonomy based on the theoretical foundation of prospect theory and status quo bias. The analyzed quantity is a relation between two key parameters of the cybersecurity posture of an organization, the cybersecurity readiness and the decision makers’ perceived risk of cyber-attack. The study also consists of a comparative analysis between these results and gain results during other studies in EU and USA

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
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
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
SECURITY AND PRIVACY WITH E-LEARNING SOFTWARE
No full textAbstractE-learning is becoming an increasingly common form of teaching process. It is most often used in holdingcourses, seminars, conferences, and similar lectures, but it can also be effectively implemented for the teachingprocess in high schools and colleges. The increase in demand for tools that would enable this process also raisesthe development of concepts and practical solutions to these problems. A number of tools and services areavailable for the practical realization of e-learning. An important aspect of these solutions is data security andprivacy. Implementation approaches and policies are individual to the providers of such services. But notcompletely. However, they are also subject to legal regulations. Within the European Union, the GDPR (GeneralData Protection Regulation) privacy policy is in force, which obliges private companies to have an ethical attitudetowards the user data they own. In essence, this regulation calls for transparency. In that sense, the companymust clearly state what type of user data it has, how it collects it, how it protects its privacy and for what purposeit uses it. The user must be notified of this in a timely manner and give his consent. Additionally, if the userrequests a report at any time and for any reason for the data that the company has about him, the company isobliged to submit it. If the company does not offer such transparency to customers in the European Union, it maybe subject to legal sanctions. Because online services generally operate worldwide, these privacy policies arewidely accepted, and because of the good ethical practice they imply, some companies implement them for usersaround the world.This paper will analyze 4 potential e-learning software solutions: ZOOM, Microsoft Teams,BigBlueButton and BlueJeans. An overview of their general functionalities, policies and functionalities within thesecurity, policies, and functionalities within the protection of user data privacy, as well as the GDPR complianceof each of these platforms will be given.Keywords: cyber security, e-learning, videoconference, GDRP complianc
TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR MITIGATION AND PROTECTION AGAINST SQL INJECTION ATACKS
No full textAbstractMost of the services we enjoy on the Web are provided by database applications. Web-based email, onlineshopping, forums, corporate web sites, and portals are all database-driven. To build a modern web site, youneed to develop a database application, usually a SQL database, which is responsible for managing data ina structured way. Recent attacks can lead ad to the conclusion that web applications are insufficientlyprotected and are the biggest threat to database security. The most popular form of attacks is the SQLinjection attacks that use the data entry, search and username or password fields to inject code into the SQLdatabase.These attacks can detect sensitive data, alter database data, or destroy an entire database. An attacker couldeven damage the operating system. Usually, the SQL injection attacks are just an introduction to some otherattacks, so preventing these attacks can also mean protection from other potentially more dangerous attacks.The purpose of this paper is to review the most common SQL Injection attacks, as well as to proposetechnical solutions and measures that can contribute to the mitigation of this kind of attacks.Key words: SQL injection, vulnerabilities, security, privac
