Amidst rapid urban development, sustainable transportation solutions are required to meet the increasing demands for mobility whilst mitigating the potentially negative social, economic, and environmental impacts. This study analyses autonomous vehicles (AVs) as a potential transportation solution for smart and sustainable development. We identified privacy and cybersecurity risks of AVs as crucial to the development of smart and sustainable cities and examined the steps taken by governments around the world to address these risks. We highlight the literature that supports why AVs are essential for smart and sustainable development. We then identify the aspects of privacy and cybersecurity in AVs that are important for smart and sustainable development. Lastly, we review the efforts taken by the ​federal government in the US, the UK, China, Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Germany, France, and the EU, and by US state governments to address AV-related privacy and cybersecurity risks in-depth. Overall, the actions taken by governments to address privacy risks are mainly in the form of regulations or voluntary guidelines. To address cybersecurity risks, governments have mostly resorted to regulations that are not specific to AVs and are conducting research and fostering research collaborations with the private sector.

The benefits of autonomous vehicles (AVs) are widely acknowledged, but there are concerns about the extent of these benefits and AV risks and unintended consequences. In this article, we first examine AVs and different categories of the technological risks associated with them. We then explore strategies that can be adopted to address these risks, and explore emerging responses by governments for addressing AV risks. Our analyses reveal that, thus far, governments have in most instances avoided stringent measures in order to promote AV developments and the majority of responses are non-binding and focus on creating councils or working groups to better explore AV implications. The US has been active in introducing legislations to address issues related to privacy and cybersecurity. The UK and Germany, in particular, have enacted laws to address liability issues; other countries mostly acknowledge these issues, but have yet to implement specific strategies. To address privacy and cybersecurity risks strategies ranging from introduction or amendment of non-AV specific legislation to creating working groups have been adopted. Much less attention has been paid to issues such as environmental and employment risks, although a few governments have begun programmes to retrain workers who might be negatively affected.

Recently we have witnessed the worldwide adoption of many different types of innovative technologies, such as crowdsourcing, ridesharing, open and big data, aiming at delivering public services more efficiently and effectively. Among them, ridesharing has received substantial attention from decision-makers around the world. Because of the multitude of currently understood or potentially unknown risks associated with ridesharing (unemployment, insurance, information privacy, and environmental risk), governments in different countries apply different strategies to address such risks. Some governments prohibit the adoption of ridesharing altogether, while other governments promote it. In this article, we address the question of how risks involved in ridesharing are governed over time. We present an in-depth single case study on Singapore and examine how the Singaporean government has addressed risks in ridesharing over time. The Singaporean government has a strong ambition to become an innovation hub, and many innovative technologies have been adopted and promoted to that end. At the same time, decision-makers in Singapore are reputed for their proactive style of social governance. The example of Singapore can be regarded as a revelatory case study, helping us further to explore governance practices in other countries.

What are the similarities and differences between crowdsourcing and sharing economy? What factors influence their use in developing countries? In light of recent developments in the use of IT-mediated technologies, such as crowdsourcing and the sharing economy, this manuscript examines their similarities and differences, and the challenges regarding their effective use in developing countries. We first examine each individually and highlight different forms of each IT-mediated technology. Given that crowdsourcing and sharing economy share aspects such as the use of IT, a reliance on crowds, monetary exchange, and the use of reputation systems, we systematically compare the similarities and differences of different types of crowdsourcing with the sharing economy, thus addressing a gap in the current literature. Using this knowledge, we examine the different challenges faced by developing countries when using crowdsourcing and the sharing economy, and highlight the differences in the applicability of these IT-mediated technologies when faced with specific development issues.

What is the state of the research on crowdsourcing for policymaking? This article begins to answer this question by collecting, categorizing, and situating an extensive body of the extant research investigating policy crowdsourcing, within a new framework built on fundamental typologies from each field. We first define seven universal characteristics of the three general crowdsourcing techniques (virtual labor markets, tournament crowdsourcing, open collaboration), to examine the relative trade-offs of each modality. We then compare these three types of crowdsourcing to the different stages of the policy cycle, in order to situate the literature spanning both domains. We finally discuss research trends in crowdsourcing for public policy and highlight the research gaps and overlaps in the literature.

Thailand once recognised as a high-performing Newly Industrialising Economy (NIE) is now in the middle-income trap. The country has been staying in the middle-income level for more than 15 years. One of major reasons is relatively low technological learning of firms in Thailand. Nonetheless, after the Financial Crisis in 1997, there were some improvements, as transnational corporations and large local firms started to invest more in building up rather sophisticated technological capabilities in product and process design, advanced engineering, and R&D. Nonetheless, Thailand is still lacking critical mass of innovative firms which can pull the country out of the trap. On the government side, perpetuated ineffective science, technology and innovation policies have been carried out for several decades.

This short essay presents the case for a renewed research agenda in STS focused on the political economy of technoscience. This research agenda is based on the claim that STS needs to take account of contemporary economic and financial processes and how they shape and are shaped by technoscience. This necessitates understanding how these processes might impact on science, technology and innovation, rather than turning an STS gaze on the economy.

Algunos analistas de las políticas de ciencia, tecnología e innovación (PCTI) resaltaron la relevancia que tuvieron los organismos internacionales en la creación de instituciones e instrumentos en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Este trabajo analiza qué papel jugó el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) en las PCTI que intentaron que Argentina siga un Sistema Nacional de Innovación durante los 90s. A partir del caso de estudio (el Programa de Modernización Tecnológica I), Argentina se constituyó en el principal tomador de créditos del BID de ALC para financiar CTI. Además, más del 60% del financiamiento de la Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnológica proviene de ese banco desde aquellos años.
Este trabajo utiliza desarrollos conceptuales recientes del campo conocido como estudios sobre expertos en políticas públicas. En particular, se aplica el concepto de redes de asuntos para analizar el entramado de relaciones e interacciones entre agentes, instituciones y marcos cognitivos involucrados con los grupos de expertos en un campo de políticas públicas.
Se concluye que, en las redes de asuntos se producen procesos de circulación de conocimientos, recepción y además reelaboración de los mismos. Y esos procesos tienen consecuencias en la construcción de las agendas de las PCTI.

The trend to reduce carbon di oxide (CO 2) using sustainable energy sources is a common practice to mitigate the impacts of climate change worldwide. Among the sustainable energy options, solar power is said to be the most feasible one. Bangladesh too is capable of potential solar power installation in urban areas. The present study concentrates to find out the potential CO 2 emission reduction by installing Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems in residential areas and to address effective policy measures to promote the technology in urban areas. The study found that replacing the conventional energy source (natural gas) with SPV alone can reduce carbon emission nearly up to 30 percent using the rooftop of Dhaka Megacity. This measurement of CO 2 reduction was based on field investigation and questionnaire survey of 60 buildings in two areas of Dhaka City. Along with the environmental benefit the SPV installation can aid the households with financial support in the form of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). With three case studies in existing SPV installed buildings the study has also highlighted some policy recommendations applicable for Bangladesh, comparing with the policies and consumer level acceptance of some other countries.

This article approaches the issue of the so-called North-South scientific cooperation to understand why European research consortia incorporate research groups from Latin America (LA). This boils down to three questions: (a) at the political and institutional level, what is the European Union’s interest in developing co-operation with Latin America? (b) at the level of cognitive strategies, what are the European projects leaders’ motivations to enroll LA groups in the formation of research consortia? and (c) at the level of practices, what role do the LA groups play in these consortia? To underline the specificity of the cooperation under analysis, we take into account organizational and geo-political aspects as well as past and current trends in Europe-Latin America scientific co-operation in general, and in particular within the Framework Programs. We conceptualize several types of co-operation and the paradigms of North-South scientific collaboration that have guided the developed countries’ policies. As a result of our research, we suggest a typology of the different configurations that frame the LA participation in international consortia, and the consequences in terms of policy issues that may be relevant for Latin American countries in the future.

The development of the Internet of Vehicle (IoV) is overgrowing toward driving comfort, safety, and efficiency. Autopilot or a car without a driver is one implementation of IoT. To run the full function of IoV, a reliable communication network is needed because the risk will be substantial due to the low quality of network infrastructure services. In this research, we will analyze the quality of network infrastructure services. The analysis can be done through two approaches: direct measurement in the field using a GPS Tracker-based system and modeling using the mathematical function of transmit power of mobile communication transmitting devices. The test is carried out in a specific area with a sample of high traffic and low-density areas. This method was chosen to find the right pattern in measuring the quality of communication network services. The tests carried out produce dynamic data on service quality in certain areas. For areas of low density, the service quality tends to be...

This paper builds on previous research on the contemporary role of the university, which was based on the conceptual approach that the accumulation of knowledge is the fundamental driving force behind economic growth. We argue that the university must respond to changes in the world that challenge its well-established pedagogical and epistemological traditions or face loss of institutional respect. Concerns over the rapid pace of exogenous socioeconomic change and the increasingly unsustainable state of the world, raise questions about the efficacy of the positivist, discipline-based model for learning, research, and teaching, and charge universities with the important task of diffusing the concept of sustainability. An alternate model of reflexive learning in practice (living) is introduced as a potential model for the building of the 'sustainable' university. The analysis shows that interdisciplinary research and curricula are critical, and integrative concepts, such as industrial ecology, can guide the design of new institutional structures.

Electronic Commerce has increased the global reach of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs); its acceptance as an IT infrastructure depends on the users' conscious assessment of the influencing constructs as depicted in Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), and Technology-Organization-Environment (T-O-E) model. The original TAM assumes the constructs of perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU); TPB perceived behavioural control and subjective norms; and T-O-E firm's size, consumer readiness, trading partners' readiness, competitive pressure, and scope of business operation. This paper reviewed and synthesized the constructs of these models and proposed an improved TAM through T-O-E. The improved TAM and T-O-E integrated more constructs than the original TAM, T-O-E, TPB, and IDT, leading to eighteen propositions to promote and facilitate future research, and to guide explanation and prediction of IT adoption in an organized system. The integrated constructs-company mission, individual difference factors, perceived trust, and perceived service quality improve existing knowledge on EC acceptance and provide bases for informed decision(s).

This study explored the concept of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in relation to student employees. The dimensions of religiosity is used as an independent variable in this study. This study expands the extant research by examining OCB of student employees, where very few studies exist. For this research 174 student employees completed an online survey, where we looked to identify correlations between OCB and three dimensions: participation, importance and meaning. Data collection in this study used a qustionnaire that developed a variable of religiosity totaling 9 items and variables totaling 15 items which isusing multiple linear regression. The statistically significant correlation between three of these dimensions and OCB will help campusidentify and encourage OCB in their student employees. The result of study shows that there is effect of the participation dimension (XL) and the meaning dimension (X3), but there is no efect of the meaning dimension (X3) on OCB.

The development of environmentally friendly vehicles is currently a global trend among car manufacturers. This is in addition to being triggered by regulations from countries that have committed in the 2016 Paris agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save fossil-based fuels that will run out, considering that fossil fuels are a type of non-renewable natural resource. For this reason, the global automotive industry has begun to produce electric cars, which are referred to as renewable energy sources, and to reduce carbon emissions. Because this electric car is a new product, researchers are interested in knowing how someone is buying an electric car. One of the elements that influence a person's buying interest is the price. Besides the price, buying interest is also influenced by promotion. With the proper promotion, it can encourage people to buy. Therefore, this study wanted to examine the effect of price and promotion on buying interest mediated by brand image. Sam...

In the Covid Pandemic 19, sharia cooperatives must be a solution for the welfare of their members and the UMKM that they support so that they can move up in class, but how if it is difficult to access, therefore sharia cooperatives must be digital-based and include collaborating with fintech. This study tries to answer the problems that occur, strategies, and stakeholders involved in the development of Islamic cooperatives in collaboration with sharia fintech in Indonesia using the Interpretive Structural Model (ISM) approach. The core problem faced in developing sharia cooperatives in collaboration with sharia fintech is the lack of education and promotion of Islamic financial institutions collaboration, especially in sharia cooperatives with sharia fintech (E9), which initially became competitors to financial institutions because they were very flexible and fast and have become OJK's instructions that fintech must collaborate with financial institutions including sharia ones. ...

Canned foods and beverages constitute a major part of the global food supply. Consumers expect canned foods and beverages to maintain their flavour, texture and colour and be free of illness-causing pathogens. This is generally accomplished by coating can interiors with protective resins. With recent calls for the removal of commonly used epoxy resins, an understanding of the availability, technological feasibility and health profiles of alternative coating options is needed. Some of this information is publicly available but more research and dialogue are needed in order to make informed decisions about coating alternatives' technological feasibility, risks and benefits.

This research examines how nonprofits use the internet to build public relations and increase charitable giving by analysing the content of the websites of various nonprofit organisations listed in the top 100 NPOs published by The Nonprofit Times. While there is no difference for most variables in the fundraising and communication practices between top tier and bottom tier NPOs divided by total revenue, the differences are found in such variables as campaign summary, messages from the CEO, volunteer opportunities, information sharing, social media use, and annual reports. These findings suggest that certain communication practices (information dissemination, interactive communication, and accountability) are positively associated with the level of fundraising. Compared to the findings of previous research, however, our findings show that the presence of characteristics related to communications and fundraising has increased on NPOs' websites. This indicates that by recognising the importance of the internet, NPOs are increasingly using it as a medium for communications and charitable giving.
