“…So that, it is reasonable to consider the cultural characteristics when implement new technological innovations like e-government. The most popular and extensively used cultural dimensions are the Hofstede's one [11] while Reay [31] asserts that cultural dimensions of Hofstede have used extensively in cross-cultural information technology studies. In addition, Reay [31] has pointed out the importance of culture in their study.…”

improvements will cause to attract and retain users for continuous use. Given the aforementioned evidences, the scope of this paper is to find an answer to the following research question. Research questionDoes national culture make impact on the use of e-government services in Sri Lanka?The rest of the paper is compiled as follows. The brief explanation on the background of the study and literature evidences are presented in section two, followed by the theoretical framework and the research model in section three. Research methodology and analysis is discussed in section four while section five is devoted to present the research results and discussion. Conclusion of the research, limitations and future research direction are brought in section six and seven. Background and Literature EvidencesApart from technical and management related factors, human factors which are related to cultural and social elements in developing countries are very much important for user behavioral decisions on the adoption and use of e-government services. Negligence of cultural traits will be acted as hindrances for adoption and use of new technological systems [10]. Hence, non-technological factors are very much important. However, few studies have been explored about the cultural influence on the adoption and use of e-government services [10,11]. Thus, culture makes remarkable influence on the acceptance and adoption of new technologies such as e-government services [14][15][16].Keywords: e-Government; Technology acceptance model; National culture; Structural equation modeling; Sri Lanka Introduction E-government means utilizing ICT facilities available in internet and web based technologies to offer government services to general public as well as to improve the government services [1][2][3]. To proper function the e-government initiatives, there should be IT savvy culture within government organizations as well as among the general public. Most of the governments around the world still are confronting the issues with regard to acceptance, adoption and use of e-government services regardless of the possible benefits of vast e-government projects [4][5][6] because issues are multi-dimensional in nature. The core issues of the e-government domain are from social side (user's demand) not from technical side [7]. Even though, some issues have been examined much more, still there are some other aspects which are yet to be explored [8]. These issues must be addressed not only from technical perspective but also social and cultural perspective [5]. The importance of culture for technology adoption and use in particular for the e-government services has been pointed out in prior studies [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Culture represents how social groups interact with each other and how distinguishes societies, institutes, professions or even countries. At the same time, culture explains how people in social groups interact with new technological innovations. However, it has not been paid much more attention regarding this particular fa...

“…Privacy, security, and confidentiality can be decoupled through consideration of social context. First, we note findings that privacy is grounded in social interaction: privacy is distinct from seclusion because it arises with respect to others (Marshall, 1972;Reay et al, 2011;Westin et al, 1979). Second, we note that security and confidentiality arise in response to motivations such as compliance with legal and professional obligations, and economic competition.…”

Privacy and Brain-Computer Interfaces: method and interim findings

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are emerging technologies that acquire and translate neural data, applying that data to the control of other systems. Privacy has been identified as an ethical issue possibly arising from the use of BCIs. The research reported in this paper seeks to identify whether BCIs change privacy and if so, how and why. Interim findings are presented before outlining future research opportunities.

“…Several researches have relied on Alexa data to obtain traffic rankings of different Internet properties by countries (see Ennew et al, 2005;Price and Grann, 2012;Reay et al, 2013;Wu and Ackland, 2014). Unfortunately, Alexa's open information is limited to the first 500 most visited entities per country.…”

By constructing the network of media audience, this study sheds light on the predominant modes of exposure to online political information in Spain. Novelty data from a panel of thirty thousand individuals is used for the research. The preliminary results bring evidences for reviewing the line of reasoning that advocates for the prevailing fragmentation of the public sphere. More notably, the results contribute to proving that a substantial level of audience concentration still remains in the web. The highest levels of audience overlapping are found in those media outlets that are driving the media agenda in the offline sphere. Therefore the study proffers evidence that the structure of the online public sphere might guarantee the necessary shared informational experiences for a deliberative democracy.The implications of the current networked audience behaviour for the study of the agenda setting process are discussed along with the chances for a shared public agenda in Spanish society. Observational methods and content analysis have been used in the study of the agenda setting process so far. However, the current communication environment characterized by unlimited, decentralized and abundant sources of political information prompts the application of new analytical approaches. Networks are at the heart of online communication and network science allows for analyzing its structure. It provides the ARTICLE
