Citizen participation is a topic of debate about its relevance and implementation mechanisms. On the other hand, citizen participation is a core part of the idea of Open Government as an element that configures a novel public management strategy. Open Government strategies are being assumed by public administration at different levels of government, but also by civil society organizations that are involved in issues of citizen participation. However, there is a diversity about how the concept is used by different social sectors. In this sense, it is pertinent to know how this concept is perceived among the main sectors that trigger citizen participation. It is important to know these perceptions because the dispersion of the concept entails a gap between the aspirations, expectations and objectives of public policies that promote citizen participation. The objective of this research is to analyze citizen participation from the perspectives of two fundamental sectors in the political-social participation process: Civil Society Organizations (CSO) and Government. To contrast the perspectives of the two sectors, the case of the State of Jalisco, Mexico is studied. This research shows the results of a survey administrated to members of CSO and public officials involved in open government actions. In order to contrast ideas and assessments, two dimensions are established for its analysis: a)open government, and b) citizen participation. The results show a considerable gap between the perceptions of public officials and organized civil society.","PeriodicalId":147979,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth International Conference on eDemocracy & eGovernment (ICEDEG)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130799161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, delivery and transportation are industries for which “sharing” has had one of the biggest impacts, with companies such as: Uber, Lyft or Cabify. However, like in any traditional company, human resource management is an issue for sharing economy firms. Our work aims to infer patterns regarding the performance of human resources in this context. We used unsupervised classification techniques over employee records from a delivery company that uses a sharing economy business model. We propose an automatic and scalable framework to discover efficient groups of workers, using features from logistic, geographical and temporal information. Although previous similar works have presented promising results, unlike them, we do not use demographic information about the employees. Our results suggest that deliveries per day, the kilometers covered by the worker and the companies that occupy a delivery agent are important features to determine outstanding workers. The framework proposed can turn into a key point to keep the exponential growth of these kind of companies during the time.","PeriodicalId":147979,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth International Conference on eDemocracy & eGovernment (ICEDEG)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127855301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective is to keep a frequent monitoring of the pregnancy of women in pregnancy, with the aim of reducing maternal mortality by detecting possible complications in its initial stage. The proposed electronic system allows: to measure the variables of pressure (mmHg)and proteinuria (mg / dL), keep a record of the measured variables, visualize the data through an interface and generate reports of the stored data. Using WIFI technology, the measured data is sent to a concentrator (PC), which hosts a server that contains a MySQL database for the storage and presentation of the data. When the data is presented in a graphical interface, the system generates a report by patient considering the values of the variables of the last dates, as a result, a promising electronic system that provides assistance to pregnant woman in different situation and circumstances, and especially for women who have fixed jobs with eight-hour work days, because with the help of the implemented device they can be kept in constant monitoring","PeriodicalId":147979,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth International Conference on eDemocracy & eGovernment (ICEDEG)","volume":"316 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131202571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social media has a clear influence on people, especially during events such as elections where recent international events have shown that social media played an important role. In fact, there are three main aspects in this digital landscape: political movements and political candidates looking for popular support (number of followers), citizens' messages discussing social issues (trending topics on social media), and political propaganda appearing in the net in favor of or against politicians or political movements (advertisement). One of the issues with social media is the presence of automatic accounts (bots) that artificially fill accounts with fake followers, create false trending topics, and share fake news or simply flood the net with propaganda. All this artificially generated information may influence people and sometimes may even censor people's real opinions undermining their freedom of speech and affecting true democracy. In this paper, we present a set of observations based on two main objectives: collect evidence of digital campaigning during the Presidential Elections in Ecuador 2017 and describe the mechanisms used for this campaign. Finally, we show how candidates prepared online campaigns in Twitter and how normal patterns of new followers' subscriptions were altered. And, we collected information about more than 30,000 bots filtered only by political content used for propaganda purposes.","PeriodicalId":147979,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth International Conference on eDemocracy & eGovernment (ICEDEG)","volume":"569 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123396661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Countries all over the world are now using Information Communication Technologies (ICTs)to enhance the quality of their governance. ICTs have been found to improve efficiency and effectiveness of public administration and enhance citizens access to government services, hence, improvement of the quality of governance. The increasing development of ICTs however, presents new and emerging threats for government to contend with. The issue of cybercrime has become a critical factor in digital government practice in recent times. The internet which provides free access to information has also led to the abuse of technology in perpetrating crimes capable of undermining a nations security. This study examines the implications of cybercrimes on the implementation digital government in Nigerias public sector. The paper makes use of qualitative secondary data gathered from publications of peer reviewed journals and international bodies, books, internet materials to interrogate the implication of cybercrimes in Nigerias quest for digital government adoption. Data gathered were analysed through a systematic literature review with the Routine Activity theory serving as the theoretical framework. Findings of the study reveal the great threat that the increasing spate of cybercrimes pose for digital government implementation in the Nigeria public sector. The paper argues for a data driven government in Nigeria and the political will for its implementation and as well, a vigorous public awareness campaign and decisive application of cyber laws in the country.","PeriodicalId":147979,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth International Conference on eDemocracy & eGovernment (ICEDEG)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130866280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
