Employee Monitoring in the Digital Era: Managing the Impact of Innovation

The many obvious benefits that accompany digital technology have been matched by some less welcome and more contentious impacts. One of these is the steady erosion of privacy. For example monitoring and surveillance has become a fundamental part of the workplace environment, with employee performance often the main object of scrutiny. With companies now competing within a rapidly changing global economy, managers are forced to satisfy market trends that are driven by productivity and efficiency. Attempts to satisfy these imperatives have resulted in a relentless drive to improve performance and increase efficiency. In fact, the increasing number of organisations that monitor employees through advanced digital technologies has added a dystopian edge to existing employee privacy concerns, particularly as many employees are unable to exercise choice in relation to use of these technologies. If unaddressed, their concerns have potential to impact the psychological contract between employee and employer, resulting in loss of employee trust, negative attitudes and counterproductive work behaviours. This paper outlines some of the emerging issues relating to use of employee monitoring technologies. It summarises both management rationale for monitoring as well as employee privacy concerns in an effort to balance the perspectives of both parties.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF HIGHER PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION AND SCIENCE AT A CLASSICAL UNIVERSITY IN TRANSNISTRIA

Elaborating on the previously conducted studies into polar model of sense-making, the authors propose a trialectic model of the way meanings are born.The purpose of this article is to provide theoretical grounds for transition from the dual to trinal model of sense-making strategies and their description.The sense-making strategy determines the direction and quality content of the generated image-meaning.The authors find it expedient to consider trialectic level of the system of senses for more adequate modeling of possible strategies that reflect the key traits of a personality.The above mentioned triad contains hypo-adaptive, hyper-adaptive and pre-adaptive sense-making strategies.The proposed approach enables to identify a personal profile that acts as a multifactor model of possible states of value-notional sphere of an experiencing subject.In terms of modeling behavior patterns, a personal profile of such kind reveals the main direction and principal features of sense-making regulation.

Multi-stage analysis for long-term tracking

In long-term visual object tracking, the tracking model would be prone to drift or corruption and the tracker can hardly catch the target again after tracking failures. A set of novel strategies for long-term tracking is proposed to solve these problems. First, a simple and efficient method is proposed to calculate the tracking confidence of Staple, a well-known tracker based on correlation filers. A model update mechanism is then developed to prevent model corruption. Furthermore, an online Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is trained to re-detect the object in case of unreliable tracking result. By means of intermittent sampling in the re-detection stage, the computational efficiency and the re-detection reliability are greatly improved. The combination of these new components in multi-stages spawns a real-time, accurate and robust tracker for long-term video. Experimental results demonstrate that our tracker, operating at a speed of 30 FPS, performs superiorly against some competitive trackers on robustness and accuracy, especially when the target encounters occlusion, severe deformation and out-of-view.

An Efficient Encryption and Decryption Method for Image Steganography

In a digital world, data protection has become highly important issues. For secure data transmission, steganography and cryptography are used where steganography is focusing on the existence of a message secret and cryptography is focusing on content message secret combing both technologies will give more protection for data. In this paper, a base64 encoding method is used to encrypt the secret information which will be embedded into the cover image. An android application is built to perform encoding and decoding operations which is user friendly, fast and secure. Image quality is measured using Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE) and histogram analysis. The experimental result shows that the stego image can store large amount of data while PSNR, MSR, and histogram analysis values proves that stego image quality is almost similar to cover image and distortionless images.Keywords:Steganography, LSB, cryptography, Base64.
SSW-GAN: Scalable Stage-wise Training of Video GANs

Current state-of-the-art generative models for videos have high computational requirements that impede high resolution generations beyond a few frames. In this work we propose a stage-wise strategy to train Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for videos. We decompose the generative process to first produce a downsampled video that is then spatially upscaled and temporally interpolated by subsequent stages. Upsampling stages are applied locally on temporal chunks of previous outputs to manage the computational complexity. Stages are defined as Generative Adversarial Networks, which are trained sequentially and independently. We validate our approach on Kinetics-600 and BDD100K, for which we train a three stage model capable of generating 128x128 videos with 100 frames.
Repetition and Reduction. Two Contrastive Characters of Politeness Formulas in a Gender Perspective The Case of the Italian <i>cià cià</i> and Similar Expressions

This study is about politeness formulas as a class of fixed expressions and, in particular, it analyses the coexistence of two opposing phenomena – namely repetition and phonetic reduced variants – which contrasts with the typical stability and immutability of formulaic aspects in spoken communication. These aspects are discussed using the method of correlational sociolinguistics with reference to language and gender. The data show that men tend to use politeness formulas affected by repetition and reduction more than women. This tends to support the thesis according to which men are more exposed to linguistic variation and innovation while women would tend to a conservativeness and a tradition of the forms.
Proposing Cybersecurity Regulations for Smart Contracts

Smart contracts have the potential to improve many existing transactions and to enable entirely new business models. However, the technology supporting this new method of transacting is complex and the legal framework applying to it is somewhat unclear. Though theorized several decades ago, it was not until the advent of the distributed ledger technology known as blockchain that smart contracts were able to be practically implemented. This paper summarizes the concept of smart contracts while providing the background and context of its development. It then distinguishes those smart contracts which are considered legally binding within the scope of US laws from those that may not have legal effect. Next, it provides an in-depth example of an exploitation of smart contracts and explores how the legal reaction to it is inadequate. To reduce the likelihood of future smart contract exploitations and to improve confidence for contracting parties, this article suggests adding explicit smart contract cybersecurity provisions to existing US legal frameworks. Specifically, I propose adapting several of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Federal Information Processing Standards to create minimum cybersecurity requirements for all legally binding smart contracts. I also examine the shortcomings of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act while identifying it as a piece of legislation ripe for reform which, if done adequately, may provide a legal deterrent to would-be cyber hackers of smart contracts.
R&D, FDI, and Innovation: Examination of the Patent Applications in the OECD Countries

This paper analyzes the effect of research and development expenditure (R&D) on innovation in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries over the period 1996-2015. Innovation, the dependent variable, is measured using two different proxies: patent applications by residents (PAR) and the patent applications by non-residents (PANR) in the host countries. R&D is the main variable of interest which is also interacted with foreign direct investment (FDI) to see how the entry of foreign competitors influence the role of R&D on innovation in the host country. The findings show that R&D alone promotes innovation by residents but impedes innovation by non-residents. However, when FDI interacts with the R&D in the host country, it produces opposite results. Specifically, increasing FDI in the presence of certain level of R&D in host countries impacts PAR negatively and the PANR positively. These results have important policy implications.

MGLOEC AND MGLIP STEGANOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES FOR HIDING MESSAGE IN GRAY IMAGE

With the innovations in technology, most of the people are using communication media in 24X7basis. So they are in need of a communication medium that securely transmits the data. So communication alwaysdemands new techniques to provide data security. One of the techniques to send the secret message/data toreceiver is hide it and then send, thats nothing but Steganography. Unlike Cryptography, which hides thecontents of a secret message in a cryptic manner, Steganography hides the very fact that a message iscommunicated. If the hacker doesnt know the presence of the secret message, then there is no chance of hackingthe important data. This leads to provision of high data security. The message that is to be communicated may bein any of the forms like video, audio or simple text/text file. It can be hidden over a carrier file which may be avideo, audio or text file. So we propose two different Steganography techniques MGLOEC and MGLIP
Hate Speech as Part of Contemporary Public Discourse and Possible Solutions to Support Public Administration: European Parliament Elections in Croatia

This article deals with hate speech in public discourse and the media, emphasizing the importance of detecting it in a timely manner in order to remove it. This falls within the scope of the tasks of public administration according to the EU’s normative framework because language is one of the main ways that discrimination is enacted. To this end, the empirical research was carried out in two parts. The first part identifies and analyzes unacceptable public behavior (hate speech), defining types of occurrence as opposed to insults and slander, and identifying the advantages and disadvantages of using language technologies for timely identification. The second part of the research detects occurrences of hate speech in Croatian offline media using the example of the 2019 European Parliament elections, drawing attention to a number of methodological obstacles preventing timely identification of hate speech. The results of this investigation contribute to understanding the linguistic-discursive construction of offline and online hate speech in multicultural communities. It is hoped that regulatory authorities will use the results of this research to facilitate implementation of the EU normative framework.
Deep Reinforcement Learning With Adaptive Combined Critics

The overestimation problem has long been popular in deep value learning, because function approximation errors may lead to amplified value estimates and suboptimal policies. There have been several methods to deal with the overestimation problem, however, further problems may be induced, for example, the underestimation bias and instability. In this paper, we focus on the overestimation issues on continuous control through deep reinforcement learning, and propose a novel algorithm that can minimize the overestimation, avoid the underestimation bias and retain the policy improvement during the whole training process. Specifically, we add a weight factor to adjust the influence of two independent critics, and use the combined value of weighted critics to update the policy. Then the updated policy is involved in the update of the weight factor, in which we propose a novel method to provide theoretical and experimental guarantee for future policy improvement. We evaluate our method on a set of classical control tasks, and the results show that the proposed algorithms are more computationally efficient and stable than several existing algorithms for continuous control.
