However, privacy leakage through apps has increasingly become a major concern in Bangladesh, where the app collecting users' sensitive information without their consent was reported in news media for privacy violation. Our study with 32 participants from varying age, literacy level, and profession in Dhaka, Bangladesh unveils the perceptions of people around data collection and sharing by the app reported in privacy leakage news. All of our participants were aware of information leakage through the app they use, where they possess varying perceptions around providing personal information, like a sense of benefit, necessity and contribution, indifference, fear, or (no) authority over data collection. Our analysis reveals the relation between users' privacy perceptions, local infrastructure, and social practices in Bangladesh, where we identify the situated challenges that interfere with people's understanding of privacy notice. Our results lead to a discussion on how people's privacy perceptions are influenced by rapid urbanization and the opportunities offered by digitization in Bangladesh. Based on our findings, we provide recommendations to develop situated and sustainable strategies to enhance privacy awareness and practices in the social setting of Bangladesh, and Global South.","PeriodicalId":176951,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGCAS Conference on Computing and Sustainable Societies","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124624001","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}

Many of these issues are personal, social, or professional. As many of them are not directly medical in nature, these issues are not discussed with their healthcare providers and hence, not included in their treatment plan. However, these issues are vital for the patients' complete recovery. We present a novel approach that acts as the first step in including such personal and social issues resulting from breast cancer treatment into a patient's treatment plan. There are numerous online forums where patients share their experiences and post questions about their treatments and subsequent side effects. We collected data from one such forum called \"Online Breast Cancer Forum\". On this forum, users (patients) have created threads across many related topics and shared their experiences and questions. We use these message threads to identify critical issues faced by the patient and how they are related to their treatment. We convert the forum data into a bipartite network and turn the network nodes into a high-dimensional feature space. In this feature space, we perform community detection to unearth latent connections between patients and topics. We claim that these latent connections, along with the known ones, will help to create a new knowledge base that will eventually help physicians to estimate non-medical issues for a prescribed treatment. This new knowledge will help the physicians plan a more adaptive and personalized treatment and be better prepared by anticipating potential problems beforehand. We evaluated our method on two baseline methods and show that our method outperforms the baseline methods by 25% on a manually labeled reference dataset.","PeriodicalId":176951,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGCAS Conference on Computing and Sustainable Societies","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115609225","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 pervasive use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in recent decades, by the State as well as the citizens, has led to a new-found optimism in finally making governments transparent to citizens. Yet, such enthusiasm rarely leads to a sustainable impact on citizen-State relations. In this paper, we look at the artefacts, i.e. the websites, and apps and the interaction of citizens with these artefacts to understand the barriers to the transparency of the State. Based on a year-long ethnography of India's livelihood program, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), we find that the web portals are not appreciative of citizen's context and needs. Specifically, we notice three veils of opacity - the formal-legible form of transparency, the inaccessibility of information due to design, and finally the content of the information which dissuades citizens from seeing the state functioning transparently. Rather than enabling the citizens to hold the State actors to account, the opacity of the intended panopticon leads to disempowering the citizens of their rights, ultimately having them exit the program rather than enhancing their voice. We conclude by arguing for the need to recentre discussions on e-transparency towards the citizens.","PeriodicalId":176951,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGCAS Conference on Computing and Sustainable Societies","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117232718","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 aim was to allow a broad range of response in designing innovative and creative technologies that can help refugees deal with specific challenges. To bring the 'future' into the present and to understand their needs and experiences, we asked 12 participants to create low-fi objects from different materials and to enact them in different scenarios. The magic machines workshops helped access refugees' voices and provided future contexts for them to deal with their challenges. The data analysis of the two workshops revealed three broad themes: information provision barriers, security and ethical challenges, and mistrust and cultural aspects. Our findings show that adopting a speculative design approach has encouraged refugees to have a strong voice- creatively articulated in the form of a set of magic machines. The study offers insights into refugees' perceptions of the future and current technology. It also informs policymakers of the issues around current policy hurdles newcomer refugees face in their settlement in the host community.","PeriodicalId":176951,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGCAS Conference on Computing and Sustainable Societies","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126369694","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}

Efforts of intervention in violent conflicts through liberal peacebuilding strategies have not yielded fruits. This has paved way for resilience to be the new risk management strategy par excellence in peacebuilding in the Global South. Despite this growing enthusiasm for the focus on resilience, there remain significant debates and gaps in understanding about what actually constitutes resilience in conflict settings and particularly resilient conditions necessary for sustaining processes of preventing violent conflicts. The understanding become even more blurred when seeking to introduce Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) as an enabler of resilience in violent conflict settings. This paper therefore, argues that resilience for peace need to be understood in the context of both horizontal (bridging) and vertical (linking) social relationships that are influenced by the mushrooming and ubiquitous Information Communication Technologies (ICTs). The study found that ICTs play an important role in building resilient bridging and linking social relationships that are part of the process of preventing violent conflicts. The paper makes significant contribution to the theory of resilience as applied in ICT4D.","PeriodicalId":176951,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGCAS Conference on Computing and Sustainable Societies","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116574339","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}
