It is especially important for developing countries, as they attempt to transition to modern growth and catch up with more advanced technologies for educating students. Investment in public education, especially STEM education, has sparked transformational changes in development processes, with improvements in living standards, healthcare and longevity, food security and other indicators of human development. However, climate change has the potential to erode these gains. For example, food and health insecurities due to the changing global environment and land degradation are major issues facing poor countries. With a focus on improving education for school children in post-war Liberia, our research examines the efficacy of the Internet Backpack in fostering STEM education. The Internet Backpack has been deployed globally as a self-sufficient technology that facilitates learning. In this paper, we discuss the Internet Backpack as a technology applied in STEM learning in Liberia through multi- stakeholder partnerships. We discuss efforts to develop project- based learning curricula which include environmental life sciences programs on sustainable agriculture and forestry, earth science, and life science to protect critically important species. We highlight the importance of implementing technologies such as the Internet Backpack for enhancement of STEM education. We also highlight the importance of STEM education in the 21st century development processes, including prioritizing the mitigation of climate change.","PeriodicalId":180420,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123431273","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}

However, age discrimination against older workers seeking new job opportunities is prevalent. We conducted a study that asked participants to rate resumes of job candidates from various backgrounds for an IT job position. We found age bias, or ageism, in hiring decisions is implicit and more prevalent than other well-reported forms of bias, such as race or gender biases, yet ageism is also far more difficult for job candidate search algorithms to ignore. In this paper, we examine the challenges of age biases in job hiring algorithms and discuss various steps that can be taken to mitigate them.","PeriodicalId":180420,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"247 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133704948","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}

This paper describes the losses incurred by victims of payment redirection fraud that occurs in real transactions, due to cyber events and email scams, and the difficulties victims face in recovering what are often very substantial losses. It argues that present levels of cybercrime, in conjunction with the adoption of electronic banking in its present form, has effectively transferred the risk of fraud in these types of banking transactions from banks to the community. The article explores whether it is realistic to expect that Australian individuals and businesses have sufficient cybersecurity resources or knowledge to protect themselves from cyber risk and email fraud at a time when cybercrime is prevalent and often perpetrated by organised crime, but education is neither widespread nor comprehensive. The article analyses victims’ legal rights in cases involving business email compromise and other scams impacting genuine transactions, and concludes that customers and others caught up in fraudulent transactions have little practical legal recourse against the criminals responsible or banks who could do significantly more to prevent scams from succeeding. While Australian banks are best placed to introduce greater protections for customers, they have not implemented measures used by banks elsewhere, and they also resist legal responsibility for their customers’ losses of this nature. The paper argues that technological changes in financial transactions has resulted in a transfer of legal rights and power away from the consumers of banking services to banks, that it is not realistic to expect that individual customers bear the burden of either knowledge of or investment in this area and that present electronic banking arrangements leave the community, and particularly vulnerable consumers of banking services, exposed to serious financial loss.1Copyright © Simone Herbert-Lowe (Law & Cyber Pty Ltd) 2022.

This longitudinal research maps the impact of the democratization of technology on vulnerable groups (women and children), artisans and micro-entrepreneurs who aspire to incorporate digital technologies into their daily lives in the context of the five Helix model of innovation. The findings reveal the challenge of linking technology to society and communities, using a decentralized infrastructure that moves technology to the periphery, bridging the gap between digital literacy and end-user oriented digital fabrication experience. The interaction between academia, private entities, government, society, and territory is the evidence that draws systematized approaches that are integrated into the same purpose: that technology is an ally of society and that it promotes their creativity and learning throughout their lives. their lives.","PeriodicalId":180420,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121954885","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}

Nowhere is this more evident than health information seeking behaviour (HISB) such that medical and governmental websites, general search engines, and social media platforms were relied upon to retrieve credible information. Using state-level measures of conformity bias (cultural tightness) and conservatism in the US and a province-level measure of conservativism in Canada, the present study considers the relationship between cultural tightness, conservativism, and vaccination rates. The analyses demonstrate that cultural tightness and conservatism were associated with lower levels of vaccination and a reduced rate of vaccination. Replicating previous studies, this study also represents a correlation between internet HISB and consequential health behaviours, in this case, changes in vaccination rate and regional mobility.","PeriodicalId":180420,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130946632","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}

We employ some of these lessons to introduce a tripartite decision-making toolkit, informed by dilemmas encountered in the pursuit of responsible AI/ML. These are: (a) the opportunity dilemma between the availability of data shaping problem statements versus problem statements shaping data collection and processing; (b) the scale dilemma between scalability and contextualizability; and (c) the epistemic dilemma between the pragmatic technical objectivism and the reflexive relativism in acknowledging the social. This paper advocates for a situated reasoning and creative engagement with the dilemmas surrounding responsible algorithmic/data-driven systems, and going beyond the formulaic bias elimination and ethics operationalization narratives found in the fair-AI literature.","PeriodicalId":180420,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132737260","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}
