Cloud computing technology is a new computing paradigm phenomenon that has recently received a significant attention by several research studies. However, the previous works have concentrated on the adoption of this technology and limited studies focused on the factors influencing the intention to use it. Therefore, the proposed study developed a model to figure out these factors. This study used an online questionnaire to collect data. A total of 712 responses were received. Structural equation modelling was employed by using SmartPLS 3 software to analyse the collected data. The findings of this study indicate that awareness, user readiness, and satisfaction are important factors related to the use of cloud computing, while privacy seems to have no significant influence on the use of this technology. Thus, this study recommends users to attend courses and workshops to garner knowledge and understanding of cloud computing and hence become appropriately qualified to use it. Moreover, such courses and workshops will provide users with methods and techniques to protect their privacy, which should be given priority attention.
... Additionally, IoT-based platforms were useful for tracking COVID-19 risks (26). Cloud computing systems have been used to monitor, acquire, and store information and to make healthcare systems more efficient and easier to operate (27,28). Moreover, an AIdriven surveillance platform could aid in case identification and tracking, resource mobilization, and connecting people with care providers. ...

Background COVID-19 has affected many people globally, including in Bangladesh. Due to a lack of preparedness and resources, Bangladesh has experienced a catastrophic health crisis, and the devastation caused by this deadly virus has not yet been halted. Hence, precise and rapid diagnostics and infection tracing are essential for managing the condition and limiting its spread. The conventional screening procedure, such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), is not available in most rural areas and is time-consuming. Therefore, a data-driven intelligent surveillance system can be advantageous for rapid COVID-19 screening and risk estimation. Objectives This study describes the design, development, implementation, and characteristics of a nationwide web-based surveillance system for educating, screening, and tracking COVID-19 at the community level in Bangladesh. Methods The system consists of a mobile phone application and a cloud server. The data is collected by community health professionals via home visits or telephone calls and analyzed using rule-based artificial intelligence (AI). Depending on the results of the screening procedure, a further decision is made regarding the patient. This digital surveillance system in Bangladesh provides a platform to support government and non-government organizations, including health workers and healthcare facilities, in identifying patients at risk of COVID-19. It refers people to the nearest government healthcare facility, collecting and testing samples, tracking and tracing positive cases, following up with patients, and documenting patient outcomes. Results This study began in April 2020, and the results are provided in this paper till December 2022. The system has successfully completed 1,980,323 screenings. Our rule-based AI model categorized them into five separate risk groups based on the acquired patient information. According to the data, around 51% of the overall screened populations are safe, 35% are low risk, 9% are high risk, 4% are mid risk, and the remaining 1% is very high risk. The dashboard integrates all collected data from around the nation onto a single platform. Conclusion This screening can help the symptomatic patient take immediate action, such as isolation or hospitalization, depending on the severity. This surveillance system can also be utilized for risk mapping, planning, and allocating health resources to more vulnerable areas to reduce the virus's severity.

Due to the variety of definitions accessible, no one has been able to get to a precise understanding of the interpretation and distribution that cloud has on the influence of the existing twenty-first-century generation. According to Babcock, the term "cloud" refers to a category of software called a "service," in which a piece of software is freely accessible online. The fundamental problem with defining cloud computing is that there are several meanings for each individual or organization, similar to other descriptive buzzwords used in the technology industry. a distributed and interconnected set of adaptable computer resources is "ubiquitous," "convenient," and "on-demand" with cloud computing. Currently, Connections of computers are still in development. However, to develop , improve, "computer utilities" that offer services to individual homes and businesses, much like the nation's present electric and telephone utilities, are expected to proliferate. The term "cloud computing" refers to both the hardware and the operating systems used to deliver software as a service through the Internet. Even while cloud computing has already altered how organizations run, it still has a great deal of room to grow. The adoption of the cloud by organizations to update processes and boost IT capabilities is predicted to continue in 2022, according to trends.

Thesis
Full-text available
The rapid evolution of digital technologies and the increased integration between them mark the beginning of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, also called Industry 4.0 or Advanced Manufacturing, which tends to increase the share of modern services in GDP. In the context of this revolution, which is still in dissemination, the world was surprised by the Covid-19 pandemic and its repercussions, with possible implications still unknown to the productive structure of countries, the Global Value Chains, and international trade. Facing this revolution and such an adverse scenario this thesis aims to identify and quantify the contribution of sectors with higher potential for generating and/or implementing Industry 4.0 innovations and with greater relevance for economic growth and development in determining the occupational structure and the episodes of growth and contraction of the Brazilian economy, between 1950 and 2020. For this purpose, this research proposes two definitions of the modern-productive sector, built from the structuralist, neo-Schumpeterian, and Marxian/Marxist frameworks, as well as from the Brazilian economy sectoral indicators (multiplier effects, linkage effects, and key sector), to specify, at the level of 12 and of 67 sectors, which activities effectively contribute to the country's growth and development due to their (actual or potential) characteristics. This study is exploratory and descriptive bibliographic research, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, based on a theoretical framework centered on the importance of the productive structure for the performance of economies and the participation of the State in the creation and maintenance of competitiveness in strategic sectors. The empirical approach rested on the logit model application between 1951 and 2019 and, on the analysis of selected data on the Brazilian productive and occupational structure between 1950 and 2020, essential for building the modern-productive sector definition. Among the results of the empirical investigation, stand out the main determinants of growth episodes (the existence of a development policy, an increase in the participation of the modern-productive industrial sector in the GDP, a reduction of the technology gap, and an increase in the investment rate) and the main determinants of contraction episodes (an increase in the technology gap, a fall in the share of the agricultural sector and modern-productive industry in GDP, a decline in the investment rate, and a retraction of the world economy). The results also showed a divergence between theory and practice in the approaches that point to the modern service sectors or agriculture sector as engines of the growth process, just as the reduction of the State participation in the economy. In summary, the empirical analysis indicated that positive structural change requires a long-term development project and, therefore, a State project. This change, aside from searching to reduce the technology gap, would increase the participation in the productive and occupational structure of the most dynamic segments of the modern-productive sectors, due to its relevance to increasing the chances of sustainable economic growth, to decreasing the chances of contraction episodes, and to providing better opportunities for insertion in the labor market, contributing to poverty reduction and development. Keywords: Modern-Productive sector. Growth episodes. Contraction episodes. Occupational structure. Brazilian economy.

In the field of computer science, nowadays, there is a major drift in the field of the Internet of things and is rightly labeled as a smart revolution combining the Internet and things around the world. Using IoT, it is possible to allow connections between billions and trillions of devices and things with the help of the Internet and thereby allowing for the exchange of information and making the daily life of human beings easier and smarter and thereby improving the quality of service. Cloud computing on the other side is handy and scalable access to the network that allows access to on-demand services and allows computing resources to be shared those accounts for dynamic information integration from different sources of data. Merging cloud computing with IoT calls for open questions relating to the merger and confrontations that seek attention and discussed to allow for the successful merger of the Internet of things and cloud. Both the technologies are interdependent for their further growth and publicity. Cloud computing offers a huge number of computing resources that can be used by IoT, on the other hand, cloud computing allowing IOT to use the resources available on cloud accounts for dynamic and distributed data integration. The objective of this paper is to give an informative overview of the merits and demerits of the merger of smart devices and cloud computing. The paper also addresses the challenges faced by allowing for the merging of cloud computing and IoT. In the end, the future research ideas about open issues of the merger resulting in a new paradigm SmartCIOT (cloud-based IoT) are also discussed.KeywordsInternet of thingsCloud computingCloud servicesIaaSPaaSSaaS

Cloud computing is hot, but are we running ahead of our ability to ensure a secure environment? If you are smart, you have invested significant resources in securing the perimeter of your organisation. You feel safe behind the firewalls, DMZs, VPNs and fiercely enforced policies. Then along comes cloud computing and suddenly your users are keeping valuable and even business-critical data outside the perimeter, beyond your control. Scary, is it not?

The various ways of implementation of virtual workspaces and their use to build layered deployment environments in the Grid, are described. A virtual workspace is an abstraction of an execution environment that can be made dynamically available to authorized clients by using well-defined protocols. Virtual machines allow a client to create a custom execution environment configured with an operating system, software stack, and access policies and deploy it on any resource running a hypervisor. A workspace description should contain sufficient information for a deployment service to create the environment represented by this workspace. Workspaces make it easier for resource owners to contribute resources to the Grid and to manage virtual organizations.
