Equity in Bytes: An In-Depth Analysis of Gender Disparities in the ICT Sector Across Albania and Western Balkans Countries - Insights, Challenges, and Strategies for Promoting Inclusion and Empowerment

TEM Journal, May 28, 2024

It is imperative for governments, organizations, and individuals to actively promote equality between genders and provide women with the necessary resources and opportunities to actualize their capabilities to address and rectify gender disparities fully. Many individuals accept that innovation is a male-ruled field, which deters women from chasing after professions in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) area. This article addresses the student gender imbalance in choosing ICT courses in Albania and the wider Western Balkans region. The issue at hand is the low presence of women in this rapidly expanding sector, impeding economic capacity and societal advancement. The objective of this study is to identify and understand the factors that are influencing this disparity between genders. The study is focused on analysing the number of registered students in bachelor's and master's courses in computer science in different public and private universities.

A Framework Solution for Vehicle Theft Detection by Integrating NFC With a Blockchain-Based System

TEM Journal, Nov 26, 2023

Conventional database systems have proven unreliable, enabling a thriving market for stolen vehicles. In response, our study presents an innovative solution, leveraging the security of blockchain technology. By utilizing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Smart Contracts, our system is designed to thwart attacks, including Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) attacks. Notably, Near Field Communication (NFC) enables the secure transmission of sensitive data for verification. Our research aims to evaluate the realworld impact of this technology, considering factors such as improvements in data security and the efficiency of the reporting process. One of the most notable outcomes of our proposal is the substantial reduction in reporting time for car theft. While conventional reporting typically takes several hours, our system streamlines the process to less than 1 minute. This innovation offers significant benefits to vehicle owners, law enforcement agencies, and the broader community.

In this paper we propose to develop a social media application for students in Albania as a modern and responsive solution that combines cutting-edge technologies to create a user-friendly interface for students to engage in real-time conversations with each other, store and manage large amounts of data, and collaborate on various academic-related topics. After extensive research and market study, we have identified the shortcomings of current e-learning applications to create the best suitable and enhanced application to solve the problems we are facing today. Our goal is to create a suitable and enhanced environment for e-learning, responding to the needs of academic community and providing a quality of teaching experience virtually. We have designed a user interface that is suitable and easy to use for users of all computer literacy levels. The interface will enable intu...

Blockchain helps to improve efficiency and security. Smart contracts provide a secure, distributed and shared decentralized ledger of all assets and transactions. We will discuss a way to implement a platform on which scientists can share their studies. We propose a design methodology for the mentioned smart contracts, which enables the development of different use cases using blockchain technology. A detailed design of the smart contracts, functions and processes is presented. We will provide an outline of advantages and limitations of blockchain in general, and for the proposed platform.

This paper helps to find where recent studies have been focused on and provides a taxonomy of common programming pitfalls which may lead to vulnerabilities detection methods which will help to specify a future research. The study extracted 292 papers, most of which were found in IEEE, ACM and ScienceDirect Digital Libraries. After a detailed review process only 29 publications were considered based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Development and Evaluation of Blockchain based Secure Application for Verification and Validation of Academic Certificates

Annals of Emerging Technologies in Computing, 2021

In this paper we propose to develop a blockchain smart contract-based application using Ethereum Platform, to store, distribute and verify academic certificates. It constitutes a trusted, decentralized certificate’s management system that can offer a unified viewpoint for students, academic institutions, as well as for other potential stakeholders such as employers. The article describes the implementation of three main parts of our proposed solution that includes: verification application, university interface and accreditor interface. This application avoids administrative barriers, makes the process of deployment, verification, and validation of certificates faster, efficient, and more secure. Additionally, it offers confidentiality of the data by using AES encryption algorithm before creating transactions and allows bulk submission of multiple academic certificates.
