Data Mining - Concepts and Techniques.

The literature on interference in the Stroop Color-Word Task, covering over 50 years and some 400 studies, is organized and reviewed. In so doing, a set of 18 reliable empirical finding is isolated that must be captured by any successful theory of the Stroop effect. Existing theoretical positions are summarized and evaluated in view of this critical evidence and the 2 major candidate theories ―relative speed of processing and automaticity of reading― are found to be wanting. It is concluded that recent theories placing the explanatory weight on parallel processing of the irrelevant and the relevant dimensions are likely to be more sucessful than are earlier theories attempting to locate a single bottleneck in attention

Constructing Grounded Theory: A Practical Guide through Qualitative Analysis

Digital Personhood Research Landscape (Impact)

Business disruption from cyber-attacks is a recognized and growing concern, yet the uptake of cyber insurance has been substantially lower than expected. This study aimed to identify what factors may be influencing perceptions and uptake of cyber insurance. In-depth interviews were conducted with two stakeholder groups: those responsible for making cybersecurity decisions within businesses, and those involved in marketing cybersecurity products and/or services including cyber insurance. Thematic analysis generated five themes from the data: High complexity of company-level decision making, Security investment trade-off, Lack of risk data and immaturity of cyber insurance, Mistrust of insurers, and Compliance legislation as a driver for cyber insurance adoption. The results highlight the importance of recognizing that internal organizational decision making involves a complex eco-system which can make the process of obtaining and renewing cyber insurance an effortful process. Legislation may facilitate insurance uptake, but several external factors represent key barriers. There is a need for clearer policy wording, improved processes for cyber risk assessment, improved trust in insurers and lower policy premiums.

Cyber Insurance from the stakeholder's perspective: A qualitative analysis of barriers and facilitators to adoption

Individuals within organisations necessarily hold data including personal identifiable data, for individuals with a tendency to accumulate digital data and a reluctance to delete it, there is greater potential for data to be stored. Therefore, understanding why people engage in digital hoarding and how they respond to the mitigations put in place is important. Eleven people working in a large commercial organisation scoring highly on a digital hoarding questionnaire, took part in focus groups to understand the extent to which they kept digital data. The focus groups also explored employee compliance with policies and procedures including knowledge of GDPR. Thematic analysis led to three themes: (1) Organisational culture versus digital hoarding tendency, (2) Thinking about personal data, and (3) Responsibility and control. The findings highlight different motivations for data hoarding including anxiety driven by ‘blame culture’ as participants respond to workplace challenges and the need to be accountable. Participants were aware of policies including GDPR but often used workarounds to keep data longer than specified in their information retention policies. Technical approaches to data reduction were often counterproductive. Findings are discussed in relation to potential threats of digital data hoarding and technical and non-technical approaches to reducing digital data retention.

Digital accumulation behaviours and information management in the workplace: exploring the tensions between digital data hoarding, organisational culture and policy

Previous research on employee voice has sought to design technological solutions that address the challenges of speaking up in the workplace. However, effectively embedding employee voice systems in organisations requires designers to engage with the social processes, power relations and contextual factors of individual workplaces. We explore this process within a university workplace through a research project responding to a crisis in educational service delivery arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a successful three-month staff-led engagement, we examined the intricacies of embedding employee voice, exploring how the interactions between existing actors impacted the effectiveness of the process. We sought to identify specific actions to promote employee voice and overcome barriers to its successful establishment in organisational decision-making. We highlight design considerations for an effective employee voice system that facilitates embedding employee voice, including assurance, bounded accountability and bias reflexivity.
