Arslanagic-Kalajdzic, Maja, and Vesna Zabkar. "Hold me responsible." Corporate Communications: An International Journal 22, no. 2 (April 3, 2017): 209–19. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/ccij-01-2016-0012.
Abstract:
Purpose Corporate communication practices are becoming ever more important for business service clients, as they signal quality and hence are related to client-perceived value. The purpose of this paper is to examine the interplay between corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate reputation and client-perceived value, and to assess the moderating role of strategic orientation in business service relationships. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual framework based on the corporate communication framework, signaling theory and relationship marketing theory has been tested on a survey sample of 228 client firms, using covariance-based SEM and additional procedures for assessment of mediation and moderated mediation. Findings This paper reveals that communication practices concerning CSR positively and significantly influence client-perceived value. The authors show that reputation fully mediates the effect of CSR on client-perceived value. Finally, the effect of CSR on value is stronger if the client firm has a short-term strategic orientation, while long-term strategic orientation boosts the effect of corporate reputation on customer-perceived value. Research limitations/implications Further research on the topic may involve developing links between other elements of the corporate communication framework and client-perceived value. Originality/value The originality of the paper lies in better understanding the effects of CSR and corporate reputation on client-perceived value. The authors provide empirical evidence of the mediating role of reputation between the CSR (seen as “actions”) and client-perceived value.

Abstract:
We argue that the commitment to science-society integration and Responsible Research and Innovation in past European framework programmes has already made considerable progress in better aligning research and innovation with European societies. The framework programmes have important socialisation effects and recent research point to positive trends across key areas of Responsible Research and Innovation within academic organisations. What appears to be a step away from the concerted efforts to facilitate European citizens' meaningful contribution to research and innovation in the upcoming Horizon Europe framework programme seems counter-productive and poorly timed.

Abstract:
Companies and individuals are willing to introduce the principles of social responsibility in their everyday working practices, still, in order to accomplish this and to have real gains for the company and society, the concept of social responsibility has to be understood in the broadest sense. This understanding is based on critical information processing or critical thinking. Information can be obtained through reflection, observation, communication, experience, etc. The aim of the research is to study the factors that influence the basic principles of critical thinking formation, which are the basis of socially responsible communication. The authors employ the monographic method for charting the theoretical framework, the survey to research respondent’s’ ability to evaluate information critically and to make socially responsible decisions. As the result of research the authors conclude that development of the critical thinking competences can raise the level of social responsibility on the individual and societal level.

Abstract:
This research paper aims to understand the existing relationship between responsible communication as a new vision and ecological citizenship as an environmental, social and development demand for institutions, to confront the growing environmental problems, and the stakes they carry with them that constitute a real challenge to all countries of the world, including Algeria. So we aim at this work, to highlight responsible communication as a basis for building a working ground that takes into account the environmental and social aspects, in order to establish the values of ecological citizenship and to devote participation in the promotion and improvement of environmental awareness to achieve sustainable growth that respects the environment and takes into account its capabilities. The paper concluded that responsible communication is a solid strategic approach to building a coherent environmental awareness that is a starting point for bringing out an effective ecological citizen, and it is also one of the most effective mechanisms in rationalizing individuals' dealings with the environment and its issues, within the framework of what we can call environmental education

Abstract:
In a human-robot communications problem in which a mobile robot and an astronaut are required to work together to maintain network communication, it is possible for the mobile robot and the astronaut to have multiple courses of actions to restore communications if it becomes disrupted. To effectively accomplish a team's mission, a human supervisor responsible for monitoring and supervising the terrestrial activities of mobile robots and astronauts in this domain needs useful decision aiding tools in order to identify productive courses of action. Motivated by this, we propose a visualization framework based on Gibsonian-based fields for representing a mobile robot and an astronaut's possible action strategies to maintain their network communication in a continuous and dynamic environment and for graphically representing bounds on actualized action strategies of the robot and the astronaut based on their possible action strategies. The authors submit that it is not sufficient simply to calculate all the possible actions of the mobile robot and the astronaut. It is equally important to provide interfaces that reveal affordances in the domain in a manner that delineates the length and breadth of action opportunities and human perceptual and physical capabilities. We present a simple conceptualization of the problem of robot-astronaut communication in order to develop a framework for analysis that can be generalized to multiple robots and astronauts communicating to meet multiple objectives.

Abstract:
With “Horizon Europe”, the European Commission sets out the framework for research and innovation in Europe over the next seven years. The proposal outlines the contours of an innovative science policy that is open and responsive to societal needs, and where societal actors jointly undertake missions to discover sustainable solutions to present-day and future challenges. In our commentary we point to a number of modifications needed to strengthen the cross-cutting implementation of activities for societal engagement and responsible research and innovation.

Abstract:
New challenges resulting from dynamic changes observed in the twenty-first century are driving the evolution of approaches to city marketing communication. This article adapts the integrated marketing communication (IMC) concept for cities and develops a measurement framework and a theoretically consistent, valid, and reliable measurement tool for assessing city integrated marketing communication (CIMC). A literature review and previous qualitative studies provided the basis for conceptualising and identifying the specific constructs of CIMC, namely strategic consistency, interactivity, and stakeholder-centred focus. The research developed a theoretically consistent, valid, and reliable measurement tool for assessing CIMC. Empirical validation of the CIMC scale was conducted on data collected from a survey completed by representatives of municipal offices responsible for marketing communication in 279 Polish cities. The value and originality of this article derive from the development of the measurement framework and the new scale for assessing CIMC, which provide the foundation for further research on model solutions in this area. The measurement tool also contains subscales that can be used in research on specific dimensions of city marketing communication. The CIMC scale will assist practitioners in their decision-making processes and facilitate comparisons of cities in a local and international context.

Abstract:
Purpose Responsible research and innovation (RRI) is taking a role in assisting all types of stakeholders, including industry members, in moving their research and innovation (R&I) initiatives to tackle grand challenges. The literature on RRI, however, focuses little on how industry can implement RRI principles. To solve this gap, the purpose of this study is to construct a conceptual framework for managing and assessing RRI principles in the industry. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative research was used to build the RRI key performance indicator list; 30 interviews were conducted to design a framework which was pilot tested in a company to identify how to align technology outcomes to the values, needs and expectations of the society. Findings This study depicts five successive RRI implementation levels and exhibits RRI key performance indicators. Drawing on extant models, this study develops RRI levels and indicators to discuss why industry should become engaged in RRI, how it can embed RRI principles into R&I processes and how RRI indicators can be managed systematically. Originality/value The connection between RRI key performance indicators and RRI levels determines how industry can integrate principles and methodologies of RRI into R&I processes. The model in the study shows how companies move from one RRI stage to another and this study aims to exhibit an ideal stage of RRI for industry.

Vieira, Emanuel, João Almeida, Joaquim Ferreira, Tiago Dias, Ana Vieira Silva, and Lara Moura. "A Roadside and Cloud-Based Vehicular Communications Framework for the Provision of C-ITS Services." Information 14, no. 3 (March 1, 2023): 153. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/info14030153.
Abstract:
Road infrastructure plays a critical role in the support and development of the Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) paradigm. Roadside Units (RSUs), equipped with vehicular communication capabilities, traffic radars, cameras, and other sensors, can provide a multitude of vehicular services and enhance the cooperative perception of vehicles on the road, leading to increased road safety and traffic efficiency. Moreover, the central C-ITS system responsible for overseeing the road traffic and infrastructure, such as the RSUs, needs an efficient way of collecting and disseminating important information to road users. Warnings of accidents or other dangers, and other types of vehicular services such as Electronic Toll Collection (ETC), are examples of the types of information that the central C-ITS system is responsible for disseminating. To remedy these issues, we present the design of an implemented roadside and cloud architecture for the support of C-ITS services. With the main objectives of managing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication units and network messages of a public authority or motorway operator acting as a central C-ITS system, the proposed architecture was developed for different mobility testbeds in Portugal, under the scope of the STEROID research project and the pan-European Connected Roads (C-Roads) initiative. RSUs, equipped with ETSI ITS-G5 communications, are deployed with a cellular link or fiber optics connection for remote control and configuration. These are connected to a cloud Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) broker where communication is based on a geographical tiling scheme, which allows the selection of the appropriate coverage areas for the dissemination of C-ITS messages. The architecture is deployed in the field, on several Portuguese motorways, where road traffic and infrastructure are monitored through a C-ITS platform with visualization and event reporting capabilities. The provided architecture is independent of the underlying communication technology and can be easily adapted in the future to support Cellular-V2X (PC5 interface) or 5G RSUs. Performance results of the deployed architecture are provided.

Abstract:
The EU-funded RETHINK Project has demonstrated the critical need for transformational pathways in how science communicators navigate the increasingly challenging landscape of the field, in an era of growing public distrust, the expansion of online ‘mis-information’ digital platforms, and the resulting disconnection between science communicators and the general public. This Commentary seeks to locate, contextualise, and interrogate the good practice outcomes and recommendations of the RETHINK Project within the African regional scenario, and within the contexts, challenges and opportunities that exist therein. To achieve this, the author argues, African science communicators must actively pursue a radical and explicitly transformational agenda of intellectual Afrocentricity, the decolonisation of their practices and programmes, and address the multiple gaps inherent across the policy, practice, research, resources, and capacity-building divides on the continent. The prospects for the delivery of this agenda are further elaborated in a transformative and re-defined — ‘SMART’ Framework for Science Communication & Public Engagement in Africa.

Communicare: Journal for Communication Studies in Africa 42, no. 2 (December 9, 2023): 17–29. http://dx.doi.org/10.36615/jcsa.v42i2.1538.
Abstract:
In the context of South Africa as a developing country, we argue that CSR communication should contribute to both business sustainability and the empowerment of society for societal sustainability. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of senior South African communication practitioners regarding sustainability and the practice of CSR communication to support dual sustainability. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten senior communication practitioners responsible for CSR and/or CSR communication in ten national and international organisations across South Africa. Our findings revealed that although all practitioners recognised sustainability as the purpose of CSR, business sustainability was prioritised, while societal sustainability has only been supported. CSR communication was primarily used to enhance business sustainability by portraying the company as a responsible corporate citizen through corporate communication efforts to enhance its reputation. This is attributed to the fact that the current CSR communication theory is based on corporate communication, which prioritises business objectives.We contend that a more comprehensive theoretical framework, including principles of development communication, would enable CSR communication to significantly contribute to societal sustainability.

Abstract:
The research objective for the study was to conceptualise strategic communication management(SCM) in the context of governance. Based on the insights obtained through the conceptualanalysis, the core of corporate communication practice in the reflective paradigm is broadenedfrom social responsibility to societal responsibility. Corporate communication, in its strategic role(SCM), therefore assists in solving or avoiding conflict between organisational behaviour and thepublic perception of how societally responsible organisations should operate. Furthermore, theoretical and conceptual linkages that emerged through the conceptual analysis suggest that the three meta-theoretical approaches initially selected for the governance domain (the triple bottom line, stakeholder, and stakeholder inclusiveness approaches) should also beadded to the framework for SCM. It was also found that corporate communication (especially in itsstrategic role, known as SCM) can be regarded as a stakeholder orientated/responsible approach.

Abstract:
This article discusses how Shosana Zuboff’s critical theory of surveillance capitalism may help to understand and underpin responsible practice and innovation in mobile journalism. Zuboff conceptualizes surveillance capitalism as a new economic logic made possible by ICT and its architecture for extracting and trading data products of user behavior and preferences. Surveillance is, through these new technologies, built into the fabric of our economic system and, according to Zuboff, appears as deeply anti-democratic and a threat to human sovereignty, dignity, and autonomy. In Europe, the framework of responsible research and innovation is promoted as an approach and a meta-concept that should inform practice and policy for research and innovation to align with societal values and democratic principles. Within this approach, ICT is framed as a risk technology. As innovation in mobile journalism is inextricably tied to the technologies and infrastructure of smartphones and social media platforms, the apparent question would be how we can envision responsible innovation in this area. Zuboff provides a critical perspective to study how this architecture of surveillance impedes the practice of mobile journalism. While the wide adoption of smartphones as a key tool for both producing and consuming news has great potential for innovation, it can also feed behavioral data into the supply chain of surveillance capitalism. We discuss how potentially harmful implications can be met on an individual and organizational level to contribute to a more responsible adoption of mobile technologies in journalism.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to provide a meta-theoretical framework for theconceptualisation of the role of the corporate communication strategist. The latter haspreviously been conceptualised by the author as a role at the top management ormacro level of the organisation. It entails gathering, interpreting and disseminatingstrategic intelligence on stakeholders and issues amongst decision-makers (obtainedby means of environmental scanning) - to be used as input in the organisation'sstrategy formulation processes.The problem addressed in this research is the changing role of business in society andhow the corporate communication function could assist the organisation in achievinga balance between commercial imperatives and socially responsible behaviour. Sevenapproaches to the role of business in society are identified and discussed. It is suggestedthat the meta-theoretical approach to the conceptualisation of the role of the strategistis a synthesis of six of these approaches, namely the social responsibility/ethical approach,corporate social responsiveness approach, the corporate social performance approach, thestakeholder approach, the issues approach and the corporate community approach.

"Visual Communication in Sustainability Action: Public understanding through human behavior and attitude." Environment-Behaviour Proceedings Journal 8, SI16 (November 25, 2023): 165–70. http://dx.doi.org/10.21834/e-bpj.v8isi16.5232.
Abstract:
The study aims to explore the essential elements of an idea in designing visual marketing, advertising, or design developments to impose sustainable efforts. The final data is distributed into four categories: Behavior and Attitude in Visual Development, Mechanism in Public Information, Process of Public Understanding, and Public Understanding in Visual Sustainability. The research suggests creators of visual communications consider how their work shapes attitudes and behaviours about sustainability. With awareness around information, public understanding, and connections between visual media and sustainability, designers can promote responsible, eco-conscious messages. This framework proposes the development process should cultivate mindfulness about communicating sustainability effectively.

"Frameworks for risk communication and disease management: the case of Lyme disease and countryside users." Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences 366, no. 1573 (July 12, 2011): 2010–22. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2010.0397.
Abstract:
Management of zoonotic disease is necessary if countryside users are to gain benefit rather than suffer harm from their activities, and to avoid disproportionate reaction to novel threats. We introduce a conceptual framework based on the pressure–state–response model with five broad responses to disease incidence. Influencing public behaviour is one response and requires risk communication based on an integration of knowledge about the disease with an understanding of how publics respond to precautionary advice. A second framework emphasizes how risk communication involves more than information provision and should address dimensions including points-of-intervention over time, place and audience. The frameworks are developed by reference to tick-borne Lyme borreliosis (also known as Lyme disease), for which informed precautionary behaviour is particularly relevant. Interventions to influence behaviour can be directed by knowledge of spatial and temporal variation of tick abundance, what constitutes risky behaviour, how people respond to information of varying content, and an understanding of the social practices related to countryside use. The frameworks clarify the response options and help identify who is responsible for risk communication. These aspects are not consistently understood, and may result in an underestimation of the role of land-based organizations in facilitating appropriate precautionary behaviour.

Abstract:
This paper is based on analysis data arising from a study of sexting perspectives and experiences of college students in Kenya. The study reveals that young people harbour misconceptions about this form of sexual communication, and how to address its associated challenges and negative experiences. The authors use the empirical findings to suggest a framework that identifies seven constructs that critically analyse and describe how agents of socialization processes need to collaboratively work together in order to address the misconceptions, negative perceptions, and behaviors thereof. The proposed framework is conceptualized as a holistic approach with two interacting zones; information and knowledge, and actions, and sustainability. Further, the paper describes the extent to which suggested elements ought to work together to provide the youth with the right information, skills, and competencies required to address issues and challenges associated with sexting. In conclusion, the paper recommends strong guild responsibility and linkages of teachers, parents, and professional associations in the development of educational programmes, policies, and initiatives required to mold youth into responsible people regardless of the new communication technologies.

Abstract:
Government sectors responsible for early childhood development (ECD) often have competing priorities and obligations which manifest through fragmentation, silo conflicts, and power dynamics, thus failing to implement ECD policies in South Africa effectively. This article aims to provide a framework for strengthening the implementation of ECD policies to enhance quality early childhood care and education (ECCE) in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Using a qualitative approach within an interpretive paradigm, data was obtained through open-ended semi-structured interviews, observations, and field notes. Key stakeholders, including ECD managers, practitioners, and education officials, were purposely sampled. The conceptual lens was used for exploring the current implementation of ECD policies at the systems level in the theoretical framework. The findings revealed communication and information blockages at the level of national, provincial, and district offices. As a result, ECD centers were left uninformed of the new policies and frameworks for implementation. A framework that stipulates standardized training for the Department of Education officials, support for ECD principals, managers, and practitioners, and open communication through bi-annual conferences and monthly community of practice (CoP) virtual meetings will ensure that policies are implemented and that quality ECD education is achievable in South Africa.

Abstract:
Abstract Having graduated in architecture at the University of Technology Wien [Vienna], I subsequently engaged in post-graduate studies at The Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning / University College London. Corporate design and signage design attracted my attention. Back home a major bank and Vienna airport (VIE), among others, were the first clients of my company. As chairman of Committee 133 “Public information symbols” of “Austrian Standards”, I was responsible for the elaboration of several theme specific national and international standards. In 1993 I founded the IIID International Institute for Information Design. Several r&d projects within the frame of the 6th and 7th European Union Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development were carried out. However, due to the required but denied support from the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research, the founding of an interdisciplinary institute, affiliated to the United Nations University (UNU), did not materialize. No chance either to establish “Visual Communication Design” at a local university. Until now the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication of The University of Reading (UK) seems to be the only theme specific institution on tertiary university level in Europe. Challenges nowadays range from legible medical package inserts to a much required unified system for the European Union highway signs.

Abstract:
<p class="0abstract">Smart mobile devices and cloud computing are widely used today. While mobile and portable devices have different capabilities, architectures, operating systems, and communication channels than one another, government data are distributed over heterogeneous systems. This paper proposes a 3-tier mediation framework providing single application to manage all governmental services. The framework is based on private cloud computing for adapting the content of Mobile-Government (M-Government) services using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Derive Unique Key Per Transaction (DUKPT). The 3-layers in the framework are: presence, integration, and homogenization. The presence layer is responsible for adapting the content with regard to four contexts: device, personal, location, and connectivity contexts. The integration layer, which is hosted in a private cloud server, is responsible for integrating heterogeneous data sources. The homogenization layer is responsible for converting data into XML format. The flexibility of the mediation and XML provides an adaptive environment to stream data based on the capabilities of the device that sends the query to the system.</p>

Abstract:
For decades the idea that scientists, policy makers and industry know best in research and innovation has been convincingly challenged. The concept of Responsible Research and Innovation [RRI] combines various strands of critique and takes up the idea that research and innovation need to be democratized and must engage with the public in order to serve the public. The proposed future EU research funding framework programme, Horizon Europe, excludes a specific program line on research in RRI. We propose a number of steps the European Parliament should take to institutionalize RRI in Horizon Europe and beyond.

Abstract:
Ad hoc teamwork is a research topic in multi-agent systems whereby an agent (the “ad hoc agent”) must successfully collaborate with a set of unknown agents (the “teammates”) without any prior coordination or communication protocol. However, research in ad hoc teamwork is predominantly focused on agent-only teams, but not on agent-human teams, which we believe is an exciting research avenue and has enormous application potential in human-robot teams. This paper will tap into this potential by proposing HOTSPOT, the first framework for ad hoc teamwork in human-robot teams. Our framework comprises two main modules, addressing the two key challenges in the interaction between a robot acting as the ad hoc agent and human teammates. First, a decision-theoretic module that is responsible for all task-related decision-making (task identification, teammate identification, and planning). Second, a communication module that uses natural language processing to parse all communication between the robot and the human. To evaluate our framework, we use a task where a mobile robot and a human cooperatively collect objects in an open space, illustrating the main features of our framework in a real-world task.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the main variables that determine the relationship between disinformation and youth responsibility during the latest stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain (from April to June 2021). Are young people keeping well informed during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain? Are the youth behaving responsibly? This document presents several results regarding these questions. In our introduction, we establish a theoretical framework for the following concepts: disinformation, responsibility, credibility, and youth responsibility variables. Our primary interest is in communication factors. The applied methods are a reference review of the national and international literature surrounding this subject and qualitative opinion research conducted through discussion groups with young university students from private and public communication schools in Madrid. A recent study, held in June 2021, provides valuable material for this paper. The main results and findings are as follows: not being satisfied with the information received about COVID-19; knowledge about the most credible news sources; the connection between information and responsibility; and the solutions that are claimed to more responsible in this context by various youth participants. In conclusion, this paper confirms the first hypothesis of considering disinformation as a variable that causes a lack of personal responsibility among youths in complying with public health expectations. Regarding the second hypothesis, we verify that young people consider communication one of the main solutions for being more responsible. In other words, when presented with more information about COVID-19 they feel more aware of the disease.

Abstract:
Within vehicles, the Controller Area Network (CAN) allows efficient communication between the electronic control units (ECUs) responsible for controlling the various subsystems. The CAN protocol was not designed to include much support for secure communication. The fact that so many critical systems can be accessed through an insecure communication network presents a major security concern. Adding security features to CAN is difficult due to the limited resources available to the individual ECUs and the costs that would be associated with adding the necessary hardware to support any additional security operations without overly degrading the performance of standard communication. Replacing the protocol is another option, but it is subject to many of the same problems. The lack of security becomes even more concerning as vehicles continue to adopt smart features. Smart vehicles have a multitude of communication interfaces an attacker could exploit to gain access to the networks. In this work, we propose a security framework that is based on physically unclonable functions (PUFs) and lightweight cryptography (LWC). The framework does not require any modification to the standard CAN protocol while also minimizing the amount of additional message overhead required for its operation. The improvements in our proposed framework result in major reduction in the number of CAN frames that must be sent during operation. For a system with 20 ECUs, for example, our proposed framework only requires 6.5% of the number of CAN frames that is required by the existing approach to successfully authenticate every ECU.

Abstract:
Information providing and gathering increasingly involve technologies like search engines, which actively shape their epistemic surroundings. Yet, a satisfying account of the epistemic responsibilities associated with them does not exist. We analyze automatically generated search suggestions from the perspective of social epistemology to illustrate how epistemic responsibilities associated with a technology can be derived and assigned. Drawing on our previously developed theoretical framework that connects responsible epistemic behavior to practicability, we address two questions: first, given the different technological possibilities available to searchers, the search technology, and search providers, who should bear which responsibilities? Second, given the technology’s epistemically relevant features and potential harms, how should search terms be autocompleted? Our analysis reveals that epistemic responsibility lies mostly with search providers, which should eliminate three categories of autosuggestions: those that result from organized attacks, those that perpetuate damaging stereotypes, and those that associate negative characteristics with specific individuals.

Abstract:
A quantitative study investigated nurse case managers’ perceptions of their own communication skills used in client teaching. Using surveys based on the conceptual framework of Heron’s six-category intervention analysis, data were collected from 40 nurse case managers in 4 organizations. Results show that nurse case managers with more than 5 years of experience perceive themselves to be more skilled in facilitative communication categories than less experienced case managers. Overall, the less experienced study participants ranked themselves higher in authoritative communication skills. Facilitative skills are associated with helping clients become self-reliant and responsible for their care; therefore these skills are essential for effective case management. The study findings suggest additional training is needed for nurse case managers in the use of communication skill options.

Abstract:
Eye movement analysis is a popular method to evaluate whether a user interface meets the users' requirements and abilities. However, with current tools, setting up a usability evaluation with an eye-tracker is resource-consuming, since the areas of interest are defined manually, exhaustively and redefined each time the user interface changes. This process is also error-prone, since eye movement data must be finely synchronised with user interface changes. These issues become more serious when the user interface layout changes dynamically in response to user actions. In addition, current tools do not allow easy integration into interactive applications, and opportunistic code must be written to link these tools to user interfaces. To address these shortcomings and to leverage the capabilities of eye-tracking, we present UsyBus, a communication framework for autonomous, tight coupling among reusable agents. These agents are responsible for collecting data from eye-trackers, analyzing eye movements, and managing communication with other modules of an interactive application. UsyBus allows multiple heterogeneous eye-trackers as input, provides multiple configurable outputs depending on the data to be exploited. Modules exchange data based on the UsyBus communication framework, thus creating a customizable multi-agent architecture. UsyBus application domains range from usability evaluation to gaze interaction applications design. Two case studies, composed of reusable modules from our portfolio, exemplify the implementation of the UsyBus framework.

Abstract:
The emergence of virtualization in 5G cloud computing networks puts it at greater risk of cyber-attacks, with a major reliance on the communication between virtual systems. To address these concerns, this paper proposes a secure serverless communication scheme for virtual systems in 5G cloud networks. A system with two roles, sender and receiver, is used to exchange control messages with the sender being responsible for authentication and encryption while the receiver being responsible for decryption and validation. To ensure secure and reliable communication, the proposed scheme uses the Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) method, along with a proposal of a symmetric cryptographic algorithm called AES-CTR. In addition, the proposed scheme also includes a distributed identity base approach to prevent replay and man-in-the-middle attacks. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can securely and reliably transfer data between virtual systems in 5G cloud networks and achieve higher efficiency in terms of security as compared to existing schemes. Additionally, the proposed scheme is verified in an NS-3 simulation framework

Abstract:
This article proposes a change management model tailored for the Ukrainian IT sector, focusing on sustainable growth and addressing industry-specific challenges. The Scaling for Sustainability framework aligns with three UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG8), Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG9) and Partnerships for the Goals (SDG17). It integrates agile change management principles with a strong sustainability focus, offering a comprehensive roadmap for IT companies to scale responsibly. The framework is based on six core principles: shared vision and values, an iterative approach, active employee engagement, data-driven decision-making, collaboration, and transparent communication. These principles are supported by practical steps and established management theories, such as Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model and agile methodologies like Scrum. Key performance indicators (KPIs) measure progress and effectiveness. For SDG 17, innovative KPIs include the number of successful partnerships and collaborative projects. The research methodology involves literature review, framework development, application to real-world case studies, and outcome analysis. The framework’s effectiveness is demonstrated through practical applications in IT companies, highlighting its potential to enhance resilience, foster innovation, and ensure sustainable growth. By integrating sustainability into core business strategies and fostering continuous learning, the Scaling for Sustainability framework addresses the needs of IT companies, positioning them as responsible actors in achieving global sustainability goals. This model provides a practical, data-driven approach to scaling, ensuring long-term success and alignment with global sustainability objectives.

Abstract:
In this paper, we study the asymmetric information between asset managers and investors in the socially responsible investment (SRI) market. Specifically, we investigate the lack of transparency of the extra-financial information communicated by asset managers. Using a unique international panel dataset of approximately 1500 equity mutual funds, we provide empirical evidence that some asset managers portray themselves as socially responsible yet do not make tangible investment decisions. Furthermore, our results indicate that the financial performance of mutual funds is not related to asset managers’ signals but should be evaluated relatively using extra-financial ratings. In summary, our findings advocate for a unified regulation framework that constrains asset managers’ communication.

Abstract:
Availability of emerging technology, globalization scenario, use of information and communication technology (ICT), and decreasing transportation cost (logistic optimal fleet selection) are responsible for rapid variation in product demand and these demands can be handled by using the concept of new product development (NPD) under sustainable supply chain (SSC) environment. In today’s manufacturing environment, it is a challenging task for practitioners and researchers, how to handle new product development (NPD) in a sustainable supply chain environment. In general, economical, social, and environmental are three aspects of sustainability. Individual aspect of SSC issues for NPD has been found in the literature but integration of all the three aspects for NPD is an emerging topic. Therefore, in this paper, we tried to provide a holistic approach for integrating SSC concerns with NPD.

Abstract:
Sustainability is not only essential for protecting environment; it is also important for equality, human rights, the fight against hunger, education, health services and social development. Sustainability communication is just as important as these efforts. Through communication efforts, it is possible to make these efforts known and raise awareness on the subject. Universities, which have the greatest role in the development of society, are responsible for raising informed and aware future generations and also lead other institutions in this. This research aims to holistically assess current sustainability and related communication practices particularly gender/equality to reveal the general framework of sustainability structures in universities and to examine communication practices surrounding sustainability in Spanish universities, which perform well in this regard, especially in gender equality. A survey was conducted with 12 Spanish universities which are scored in THE and QS World University Rankings according to their SDG performances.

Abstract:
The different forms of traditional communication are used in honey gathering at the local and international levels. Therefore, the main purpose of the study is to examine the use of traditional forms of communication in traditional honey gathering in Sri Lanka. Development communication is the main conceptual and theoretical framework of the study. The geographical location is Anuradhapura district, North Central Province in Sri Lanka. The study used a qualitative approach to obtain data using the in-depth interview method. The qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results show that, the different traditional forms of communication such as natural smokes, Kem Krama (kind of ritual treatments), rite and rituals, folk tales, folk poems, folk ceremonies etc. are used to reach the honey hive and inactivate the bees without killing or harming, to cut honey combs and to collect honey carefully and cautiously. The most important thing is that the responsible authorizes should also take necessary actions to empower traditional honey collectors to maintain the traditional honey gathering. Combing traditional folk communications and modern techniques, safety measures and educating honey collectors to avoid the potential risks are some of the solutions to increase the honey harvest as well as to empower the honey collectors who engage in this profession.

Druică, Elena, Călin Vâlsan, and Andreea-Ionela Puiu. "Voluntary Simplicity and Green Buying Behavior: An Extended Framework." Energies 15, no. 5 (March 4, 2022): 1889. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/en15051889.
Abstract:
Green consumption is usually understood in the context of green consumption values and receptivity to green communication. Voluntary simplicity, a related yet distinct construct that relies on ecological responsibility, has not been included in the same framework. This paper bridges this gap and extends the original model to consider green consumption and voluntary simplicity in a unified structure. Based on a study conducted in Romania, it was found that 70% of the variation in buying behavior is explained by a combination of direct and mediated influences. The main takeaway is that any serious attempt to encourage responsible buying has to rely on a reduction in the absolute level of consumer demand. This result has far-reaching implications because the current paradigm of economic growth and prosperity is tributary to consumerism. The question is not how to avoid curtailing consumption and substitute green products for those harming the environment, but rather how to make voluntary frugality palatable.

Abstract:
Recent corporate scandals have prompted discussion of the role of business in society. Business leaders are increasingly held accountable for their actions and non-actions in relation to all stakeholders, both internal and external. The emerging challenges faced by business organizations today include economic, social, and environmental demands; globalization; rapid population growth; natural resources exploitation; extreme poverty and debt; global migration; unprecedented inequality; global migration; geopolitical and ecological crises; climate change and other environmental issues; competitive pressure; health issues; new information and communication technologies; and sustainable lifestyles. Responsible leadership represents a new type of leadership, which is better positioned to address these challenges through stakeholder consideration and in the context of sustainable development. Building on existing literature, the aim of this article is to present a conceptual framework of responsible leadership as a potential determinant of stakeholders' health and well-being.

Advances in Statistical Climatology, Meteorology and Oceanography 8, no. 1 (June 13, 2022): 135–54. http://dx.doi.org/10.5194/ascmo-8-135-2022.
Abstract:
Abstract. Human-driven climate change has caused a wide range of extreme weather events to become more frequent in recent decades. Although increased and intense periods of extreme weather are expected consequences of anthropogenic climate warming, it remains challenging to rapidly and continuously assess the degree to which human activity alters the probability of specific events. This study introduces a new framework to enable the production and communication of global real-time estimates of how human-driven climate change has changed the likelihood of daily weather events. The framework's multi-method approach implements one model-based and two observation-based methods to provide ensemble attribution estimates with accompanying confidence levels. The framework is designed to be computationally lightweight to allow attributable probability changes to be rapidly calculated using forecasts or the latest observations. The framework is particularly suited for highlighting ordinary weather events that have been altered by human-caused climate change. An example application using daily maximum temperature in Phoenix, AZ, USA, highlights the framework's effectiveness in estimating the attributable human influence on observed daily temperatures (and deriving associated confidence levels). Global analyses show that the framework is capable of producing worldwide complementary observational- and model-based assessments of how human-caused climate change changes the likelihood of daily maximum temperatures. For instance, over 56 % of the Earth's total land area, all three framework methods agree that maximum temperatures greater than the preindustrial 99th percentile have become at least twice as likely in today's human-influenced climate. Additionally, over 52 % of land in the tropics, human-caused climate change is responsible for at least five-fold increases in the likelihood of preindustrial 99th percentile maximum temperatures. By systematically applying this framework to near-term forecasts or daily observations, local attribution analyses can be provided in real time worldwide. These new analyses create opportunities to enhance communication and provide input and/or context for policy, adaptation, human health, and other ecosystem/human system impact studies.

Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting 62, no. 1 (September 2018): 39–43. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1541931218621009.
Abstract:
An Activity Theory framework was applied in investigating the pressing issue of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) integration into the National Airspace System. As stated in the FAA’s UAS Operational Approval policy notice, the UAS pilot and/or crew are collectively responsible for successfully exercising see-and-avoid duties. To describe how this is achieved in practice, field recordings of visual observers and other UAS crewmembers were collected during three phases of a long-endurance UAS flight test: takeoff, mid-flight, and landing. Four separate radio communications channels were utilized, and pilots’ workload was offloaded in three ways: takeoff and landing flight dynamics were offloaded to the external pilot, see-and-avoid duties were offloaded to visual observers, and some communications were offloaded to the mission commander. Visual observers relied on a combination of visual perception, communication, and team coordination skills to assist pilots and the mission commander in effectively accomplishing see-and-avoid duties during UAS operations.

Human Relations 72, no. 12 (January 24, 2019): 1920–47. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0018726718804306.
Abstract:
Businesses that promote corporate social responsibility (CSR) through their supply chains by requiring their suppliers to report on and otherwise communicate their CSR are doing a great thing, aren’t they? In this article, we challenge this assumption by focusing on the impact on small and medium sized enterprise (SME) suppliers when their large customer firms pressurize them to make their implicit CSR communication more explicit. We expose a ‘dark side’ to assumed improvements in CSR reporting within a supply chain. We present a conceptual framework that draws on previous research on communication constitutes organization (CCO) theory, implicit and explicit CSR, and Foucault’s governmentality. We identify and discuss the implications of three resulting dilemmas faced by SMEs: authenticity commercialization, values control and identity disruption. The overarching contribution of our article is to extend theorizing on CSR communication and conceptual research on CSR in SME suppliers (small business social responsibility). From a practice and policy perspective, it is not ultimately clear that promoting CSR reporting among SMEs will necessarily improve socially responsible practice.

Industrial Management & Data Systems 118, no. 2 (March 12, 2018): 432–62. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/imds-03-2017-0109.
Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to adopt fuzzy interpretive structural modeling (ISM) to develop a precise evaluation framework and provide a theoretical basis for enhancing the understanding of responsible consumption and production (RCP) in academic and industrial fields. Design/methodology/approach An integration of fuzzy set theory and ISM is proposed to maintain a higher level of consistency and reduce the uncertainty inherent in expert responses. Findings RCP can be categorized into seven levels, which represent the driving power from higher to lower. The top aspect is management style; the remaining aspects are stakeholder management, regulation compliance, efficiency improvement, sustainable awareness, sustainable production and social responsibility. Research limitations/implications This study attempts to integrate the triple bottom line (TBL) concept and corporate sustainability to develop a significant framework for evaluating RCP. Although the proposed aspects and criteria can be used to evaluate the Chinese construction industry, these may be insufficient for other industries. In addition, further discussion regarding important aspects and criteria is required to complete the theoretical basis. Practical implications The results indicate that the top two criteria are establishing transparent communication channels and promoting managerial attitudes and behavior, which are followed by technology capabilities, organizational culture and stakeholder engagement. These five criteria play important roles when implementing RCP practices among Chinese construction firms. Originality/value This study is the first to discuss RCP via an integration of the TBL concept and corporate sustainability. The framework developed herein provides a precise guideline for Chinese construction firms to improve their performance, and it also promotes the efficient use of resources via sustainable practices.

Abstract:
Cyber law deals with codified rules that govern the exchange of communication and information for the protection of intellectual property rights, freedom of speech and public access to information in cyber space. Cyber ethics on the other hand is the application of responsible behavior on the Internet. Currently in Nigeria, the Cyber Crime Act was promulgated in 2015 to tackle online offences. This paper examined the legal framework which regulates public access to information in the cyber space in Nigeria. The paper also highlights lapses inherent in Nigerian legal system. Based on the findings, the paper proffers a number of recommendations. It also observes that due to rapid development in technology, law and ethics should be combined to protect the society from the menace of cybercrime.

Abstract:
The sharing economy is estimated to add hundreds of billions of dollars to the global economy and is rapidly growing. However, trust-based commercial sharing—the participation in for-profit peer-to-peer sharing-economy activity—has negative as well as positive consequences for both the interacting parties and uninvolved third parties. To share responsibly, one needs to be aware of the various consequences of sharing. We provide a comprehensive, preregistered, systematic literature review of the consequences of trust-based commercial sharing, identifying 93 empirical papers spanning regions, sectors, and scientific disciplines. Via in-depth coding of the empirical work, we provide an authoritative overview of the economic, social, and psychological consequences of trust-based commercial sharing for involved parties, including service providers, users, and third parties. Based on the aggregate insights, we identify the common denominators for the positive and negative consequences. Whereas a well-functioning infrastructure of payment, insurance, and communication enables the positive consequences, ambiguity about rules, roles, and regulations causes non-negligible negative consequences. To overcome these negative consequences and promote more responsible forms of sharing, we propose the transparency-based sharing framework. Based on the framework, we outline an agenda for future research and discuss emerging managerial implications that arise when trying to increase transparency without jeopardizing the potential of trust-based commercial sharing.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Workers are generally the first people in society to be exposed to the hazards of a new technology because they are involved in research, manufacturing, production, and disposal of technological products. There is a growing consensus that there should be responsible development of a new technology. This was achieved to some extent with nanotechnology. Workers generally were protected from hazardous exposures to engineered nanomaterials. The approach used to protect workers may serve as a model for other technologies. This presentation examines the lessons from nanotechnology risk assessment and management and their application to other emerging technologies. Materials and Methods The history of commercial nanotechnology and the potential health and safety hazards was reviewed and efforts for responsible development were evaluated. Previously published work on engineered nanomaterials was adapted and used to frame the concept of responsible development which could be used with emerging technologies. Results A generalizable framework to protect workers from the hazards of emerging technologies was derived from the widely recognized responsible development of global efforts to protect workers from the hazards of nanotechnology. The framework includes five criterion actions that involve hazard and exposure assessment, communication with workers, management of risks, and fostering safe development and realization of societal and commercial benefits. Underpinning these actions is the need for strategic and ethical foresight analyses. Conclusions The foundation for responsible development of new technologies with regard to worker protection can be identified in lessons from commercial nanotechnology.

Abstract:
Background Data have become an essential factor in driving health research and are key to the development of personalized and precision medicine. Primary and secondary use of personal data holds significant potential for research; however, it also introduces a new set of challenges around consent processes, privacy, and data sharing. Research institutions have issued ethical guidelines to address challenges and ensure responsible data processing and data sharing. However, ethical guidelines directed at researchers and medical professionals are often complex; require readers who are familiar with specific terminology; and can be hard to understand for people without sufficient background knowledge in legislation, research, and data processing practices. Objective This study aimed to visually represent an ethics framework to make its content more accessible to its stakeholders. More generally, we wanted to explore the potential of visualizing policy documents to combat and prevent research misconduct by improving the capacity of actors in health research to handle data responsibly. Methods We used a mixed methods approach based on knowledge visualization with 3 sequential steps: qualitative content analysis (open and axial coding, among others); visualizing the knowledge structure, which resulted from the previous step; and adding interactive functionality to access information using rapid prototyping. Results Through our iterative methodology, we developed a tool that allows users to explore an ethics framework for data sharing through an interactive visualization. Our results represent an approach that can make policy documents easier to understand and, therefore, more applicable in practice. Conclusions Meaningful communication and understanding each other remain a challenge in various areas of health care and medicine. We contribute to advancing communication practices through the introduction of knowledge visualization to bioethics to offer a novel way to tackle this relevant issue.
