Ethical And Social Issues in MIS - Management Information SystemFaHaD .H. NooR
Information ethics has been defined as "the branch of ethics that focuses on the relationship between the creation, organization, dissemination, and use of information, and the ethical standards and moral codes governing human conduct in society".[1] The term information ethics was first coined by Robert Hauptman and used in the book Ethical challenges in librarianship. It examines the morality that comes from information as a resource, a product, or as a target.[2] It provides a critical framework for considering moral issues concerning informational privacy, moral agency (e.g. whether artificial agents may be moral), new environmental issues (especially how agents should behave in the infosphere), problems arising from the life-cycle (creation, collection, recording, distribution, processing, etc.) of information (especially ownership and copyright, digital divide, and digital rights). It is very vital to understand that librarians, archivists, information professionals among others, really understand the importance of knowing how to disseminate proper information as well as being responsible with their actions when addressing information.[3]
Information ethics has evolved to relate to a range of fields such as computer ethics,[4] medical ethics, journalism[5] and the philosophy of information.
Dilemmas regarding the life of information are becoming increasingly important in a society that is defined as "the information society". The explosion of so much technology has brought information ethics to a forefront in ethical considerations. Information transmission and literacy are essential concerns in establishing an ethical foundation that promotes fair, equitable, and responsible practices. Information ethics broadly examines issues related to ownership, access, privacy, security, and community. It is also concerned with relational issues such as "the relationship between information and the good of society, the relationship between information providers and the consumers of information".[6]
Information technology affects common issues such as copyright protection, intellectual freedom, accountability, privacy, and security. Many of these issues are difficult or impossible to resolve due to fundamental tensions between Western moral philosophies (based on rules, democracy, individual rights, and personal freedoms) and the traditional Eastern cultures (based on relationships, hierarchy, collective responsibilities, and social harmony).[7] The multi-faceted dispute between Google and the government of the People's Republic of China reflects some of these fundamental tensions.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

2. Computer Ethics
“Computer ethics is set of moral principles that regulate the use of computers”
Moral issue such as free speech, privacy, respect for property, informed consent,
and harm.
Computers have become the technological backbone of society due their
complexity, range of applications, and sheer numbers which continue to increase.
Electronic computers are still only a few decades old, and it is difficult to foresee
all the moral issues that will eventually surround them.
Computer ethics has special importance for professionals working as designers of
computers, programmers, systems analysts, and operators.
“Computer abuse” is unethical or illegal conduct of computers.
3. Internet
Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses
the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and
devices.
Internet which is now a global network of networks, initially using the
infrastructure of the telephone system and now carried by many
telecommunication systems by wire, fiber, or wireless systems.
The Internet has magnified all issues in computer ethics.
Internet has brought forward issues of free speech, including hate speech, control
of obscene forms of pornography, spam (unwanted commercial speech), and
defamation(libel).
4. Internet Free Speech Issues
Hate speech, speech or expression that unfairly criticizes a person or persons on
the basis of (alleged) membership in a social group identified by attributes such as
race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, physical or mental
disability, and others.
Pornography is representation of sexual behavior in books, pictures, statues,
motion pictures, and other media that is intended to cause sexual excitement.
Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send an unsolicited message to
large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising, non-
commercial conversions, or for any prohibited purpose.
Defamation is the oral or written communication of a false statement about
another that unjustly harms their reputation and usually constitutes a tort or crime.
5. Combating Internet Free Speech
Two types of control of pornography and hate speech have been attempted:
Top-down control by governments, and bottom-up controls by individuals and
groups in the marketplace.
Web sites that provide rating services for screening material should avoid hidden
political agendas.
Some enthusiasts however, argue that controlling free speech on the Internet
would undermine principles of freedom, equality, and opportunity power of
tyrants who have blocked democratic freedoms in their country.
6. Power RelationshipsEarlier it was thought computers would concentrate power in a few centralized
bureaucracies, however with advent of microcomputers small size with high power,
economically competitive with larger models, remote access and time-sharing made it
decentralized.
A few moral issues about power relationships are;
Job Elimination computers continue to lead to the elimination of some jobs.
Customer Relations public accountability of businesses using computer-based
services.
Biased Software programs can be biased like any form of communication or way of
doing things.
Stock Trading Programmed trading is the automatic, hands off, computer trading of
stocks, futures, and options on the stock market.
Military Weapons autonomous weapons that can be aimed and fired by onboard
computers that make all necessary decisions, including enemy identification.
7. Property
There are two critical issues regarding property rights in computers
1. Embezzlement
2. Theft of software and information
8. Privacy
Storage, retrieval, and transmission of information using computers as data processors has
revolutionized communication. Yet this very benefit poses moral threats to the right to privacy.
Related issues are;
Inappropriate Access
Hackers
