In this research, a Cyber-I open service platform has been researched and developed to collect and process rich personal big data from various sources and multiple devices for Cyber-I creation and administration as well as its modeling and life control. A cloud-fog based database system using smartphones as gateways has been implemented for flexible and scalable managements of heterogeneous devices and data. Basic strategy and mechanism have been proposed for scheduling and controlling Cyber-I growth. Cyber-I related data privacy protection and personal information usage are also studied. A series of researches on personality and affective computing has been carried out to model personal characteristics

Understanding Cyberprivacy: Context, Concept, and Issues

Cyberprivacy has become one of the most worrisome issues in the age of digitalization, as data breaches have increased at an alarming rate, and the development of technology has changed privacy norms themselves. Thus, maintaining cyberprivacy is important for both academia and practitioners. However, the literature on cyberprivacy is fragmented, since the topic is multidisciplinary and often confused with cybersecurity and data privacy. In this study, we seek to understand cyberprivacy by conducting a comprehensive literature review and analyzing 79 selected articles on the topic between 2008 and 2021. Our analysis shows that there are eight contexts associated with cyberprivacy. We proposed concepts on cyberprivacy from different views and highlighted four issues related to cyberprivacy for future consideration. Taken together, the knowledge on cyberprivacy, its challenges and its practices does not seem to accumulate. Consequently, there is a need for more targeted research on the topic to cover different contexts

Kyberisaatio terveydenhuollossa : Näkökulmia tulevaisuuden mahdollisista kyberratkaisuista hoiva- ja terveydenhuoltoalan toimintaympäristössä

Digitalisaation aikakausi on taittumassa uuteen aikaan. Monet kansainväliset tieteelliset artikkelit kutsuvat tätä aikaa nimellä kyberisaatio. Kyberisaatio sanaa ei ole määritelty suomen kieleen eikä siitä löydy tutkimuksia terveydenhuollon kontekstissa. Tämä pro gradu -tutkielma tutkii kyberisaatiota, sen ilmentymistä ja vaatimuksia hoiva- ja terveydenhuollon toimintaympäristössä. Uusia ilmiöitä tutkimalla voidaan parhaimmillaan vaikuttaa terveydenhuollon toivottuun teknologiseen kehitykseen. Tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisena tutkimuksena. Tausta-aineisto kerättiin kyberisaatio ilmiötä käsittelevistä tieteellisistä julkaisuista (n=20). Empiirinen tutkimusaineisto muodostui viiden (n=5) Helsingin yliopistollisen keskussairaalan ja HUSin kehittämisestä vastaavien henkilöiden haastatteluista. Tutkimustavoite saavutettiin selvittämällä kirjallisuustutkimuksen avulla mistä kyberisaatio ilmiössä on kyse ja muodostamalla empiirisen aineiston avulla toivottuja-, todennäköisiä- ja vältettäviä tulevaisuuskuvia. Lopuksi selvitettiin ilmiöön liittyviä muutostekijöitä ja vaatimuksia. Tutkimustulosten mukaan tarpeellisimmat terveydenhuollon tulevaisuuden kybertoteutukset liittyvät älykkäisiin pieniin etämittauslaitteisiin, sosiaalisiin- tai erityistehtäviin suunniteltuihin robotteihin, massatiedon hyödyntämiseen hoitopäätöksissä, virtuaalitodellisuuden ympäristöihin ja tarvekohtaisesti suunniteltuihin etäviestintä menetelmiin. Tärkeä tutkimuslöydös on se, että kyberisaatio tulee muuttamaan potilas-käsitettä ja terveydenhuollon johtamisrakenteita ja sitä, miten potilaita tullaan tulevaisuudessa hoitamaan. Massadatan hyödyntämistä halutaan lisätä kliiniseen päätöksentekoon. Tiettyjen potilasryhmien hoito siirtyy kotiin ja erikoissairaanhoito hoitaa tulevaisuudessa vain vaikeimmat tapaukset. Vanhusten osalta, etähoitomenetelmiin siirtyminen tulee kuitenkin edellyttämään kulttuurista muutosta Suomessa. Aineistosta nousi yleisenä havaintona esiin se, että terveydenhuoltoalan ohjelmistoihin ja mittauslaitteisiin liittyvä regulaatio on puutteellista ja ratkaisuja luodaan markkinoiden säätelemänä. Tutkielman johtopäätös on, että digitalisaatiota seuraa kyberisaation aikakausi. Kyberisaatioon liitettyjen kyberfyysisten ja -sosiaalisten esivaiheiden osailmentymiä on jo olemassa, mutta ne vaativat vielä paljon kehitystyötä terveydenhuollon toimintaympäristössä. Tarpeellisten kybertoteutusten lähitulevaisuuden positiivisen kehityksen etenemisen edellytyksenä on puuttuvan regulaation säätäminen, terveydenhuollon vaatimustenmukaisten ratkaisujen ja tietomallien ammattitaidon lisääntyminen ja asiakastarpeiden syvällinen ymmärtäminen. Mikäli edellä kuvatut edellytykset eivät täyty, terveydenhuoltoalan kyberratkaisujen tarpeellinen ja toivottujen ratkaisujen kehityskulku viivästyy

Anime: Fear and Anxiety in Texhnolyzed Worlds

This is a study of primarily post-millennial Japanese Anime texts, drawn from the science-fiction genre of the medium. The key interest of this study is the prevalence of the dystopian attitude toward technology that has prevailed in sci-fi for several decades now, and is a key marker within Anime, notable for its fetish for cathartic destruction and apocalypse. This study addresses a gap in academic literature on Anime which is largely focused on key 1980s and 1990s sci-fi texts. To this end, three key examples of post-millennial sci-fi Anime television series are examined alongside other significant and similarly themed texts for their continuities and innovations to the themes and style of the genre. Of particular concern are nuanced changes in technological attitudes that can be seen occurring in the apocalyptic mode that the key texts make use of (which is a well-established premise within sci-fi Anime), as well as an increase in supernatural and fantasy elements. The key texts are as follows: Wolf’s Rain is a shamanistic and bio-technological fantasy epic. Texhnolyze is the spiritual successor to Serial Experiments Lain with heavy themes of cyberization, evolution and ideological diversity. Ergo Proxy is by far the most complex, being a post-cyberpunk text that embodies concepts of artificial intelligence, genetically engineered societies, psycho-analysis, the technological deity and much more. These texts are reflective of the somewhat limited but convenient dichotomy that divides the many socio-political camps that oppose and promote technology into bioLuddites and Transhumanists. The concept of 'hybridity' draws these divisions under a unified umbrella, describing humanity's destabilizing and redefining amalgamation with the technological 'Other'. It also represents the fusion of science and technology with religion and spiritualism which affects the post-human hybrids of Anime. The hybrids that are portrayed are the cybernetic entity and the genetically engineered life-form. This study intends to reveal how several post-millennial sci-fi Anime, following on from their predecessors, act as a metaphorical, social, and ideological critique of the continued technological encroachment upon the human body and psyche, expressing both revolutionary theories and cautionary tales in its narratives

CYBER!

This Article challenges the basic assumptions of the emerging legal area of “cyber” or “cybersecurity.” It argues that the two dominant “cybersecurity” paradigms—information sharing and deterrence—fail to recognize that corporate information security and national “cybersecurity” concerns are inextricable. This problem of “reciprocal security vulnerability” means that in practice our current legal paradigms channel us in suboptimal directions. Drawing insights from the work of philosopher of science Michael Polanyi, this Article identifies three flaws that pervade the academic and policy analysis of security, exacerbating the problem of reciprocal security vulnerability—privacy conflation, incommensurability, and internet exceptionalism. It then offers a new paradigm—reciprocal security. Reciprocal security reframes information security law and policy as part of broader security policy, focusing on two key elements: security vigilance infrastructure and defense primacy. The Article concludes by briefly introducing five sets of concrete legal and policy proposals embodying the new reciprocal security paradigm

Organizational Posthumanism

Building on existing forms of critical, cultural, biopolitical, and sociopolitical posthumanism, in this text a new framework is developed for understanding and guiding the forces of technologization and posthumanization that are reshaping contemporary organizations. This ‘organizational posthumanism’ is an approach to analyzing, creating, and managing organizations that employs a post-dualistic and post-anthropocentric perspective and which recognizes that emerging technologies will increasingly transform the kinds of members, structures, systems, processes, physical and virtual spaces, and external ecosystems that are available for organizations to utilize. It is argued that this posthumanizing technologization of organizations will especially be driven by developments in three areas: 1) technologies for human augmentation and enhancement, including many forms of neuroprosthetics and genetic engineering; 2) technologies for synthetic agency, including robotics, artificial intelligence, and artificial life; and 3) technologies for digital-physical ecosystems and networks that create the environments within which and infrastructure through which human and artificial agents will interact. Drawing on a typology of contemporary posthumanism, organizational posthumanism is shown to be a hybrid form of posthumanism that combines both analytic, synthetic, theoretical, and practical elements. Like analytic forms of posthumanism, organizational posthumanism recognizes the extent to which posthumanization has already transformed businesses and other organizations; it thus occupies itself with understanding organizations as they exist today and developing strategies and best practices for responding to the forces of posthumanization. On the other hand, like synthetic forms of posthumanism, organizational posthumanism anticipates the fact that intensifying and accelerating processes of posthumanization will create future realities quite different from those seen today; it thus attempts to develop conceptual schemas to account for such potential developments, both as a means of expanding our theoretical knowledge of organizations and of enhancing the ability of contemporary organizational stakeholders to conduct strategic planning for a radically posthumanized long-term future

From space to cyberspace: a review of the current literature on the emerging cyberspace culture and the ways it affects the human identity, experience and interaction

Ankara : Department of Graphic Design and the Institute of Fine Arts of Bilkent Univ., 2000.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 2000.Includes bibliographical references leaves 143-150This work aims at describing the changing conditions for the human subject due to technology and more recently due to the information technology. Exploring the changing perceptions of self in the urban space and in cyberspace, the previously closed self, opens out losing its borders and merges with the milieu. Many authors define this alteration as a disorder, in literature a schizophrenic subject is brought about concerning the erasure of the boundaries that keep the identity distinct. Hence, today the human subject stands in a transition, in the middle of a journey that leads from space to cyberspace, from order to disorder, or from paranoia to schizophrenia; however from time to time departure becomes the destination again and again.Arda, ZeynepM.S
