A foundational method of User Experience (UX) is usability. Practitioners assess the effectiveness and efficiency of their product: can users complete a given task, and can they do so with ease? However, usability is only one facet of a user’s experience. This paper draws attention to the subjective, intangible aspects of user experience. It reviews current approaches to assess subjective experiences and provides guidelines on how one may tailor these approaches to needs at the levels of users, teams, and products. Additionally, using digital health apps as a case study, the paper introduces the concept of a shared user-app journey and reviews the main stages the two traverse together. It provides examples of approaches to evaluate subjective experience at various phases along the user-app journey.

Office syndrome is dangerous in long-term health such as headache, eyes soreness, neckache, dizziness, chronic muscle pain, numbness around wrists or feet. In severe cases, it may cause the muscles to contract and hold tight. Therefore, understanding the cause can prevent the danger from this illness. The objectives of this research are to study the behaviors causing Office syndrome in Thai by evaluating the basic knowledge of Office syndrome and inform the useful information to prevent the danger of Office syndrome. 312 participants in the age range of 20-40 years answered the online questionnaire as a tool for data collection. The questionnaire is included 3 sections, 1) personal data, 2) the risks of Office syndrome in each person, and 3) basic knowledge of Office syndrome. The results showed that most of the research participants are female, age between 20-27 years old, and work 5-8 hours a day. 224 people are at a high risk of back pain from Office syndrome and only 83 people have received the basic knowledge of Office syndrome. There are 183 people aware of the Office syndrome symptom. This study found that some participants have well-knowledge about Office syndrome but some still misunderstanding the symptoms of the illness. Therefore, the organizations such as companies or schools should provide basic knowledge and quality Office equipment in workplaces to reduce the risks of Office syndrome and create good habits for their people.

Through computer algorithms, daily face-to-face or online classes knowledge can be transmitted efficiently by improving student performance in knowledge assessments. The critical success factor is a management term for an element necessary for a project to achieve its mission, and it is essential to model and analyze them in big data projects. This document presents a critical framework for success factor analysis for Big Data Predictive Analytics in educational databases defining an appropriate architecture and the availability of data in that order are the main factor. The document concludes with the conclusion and recommendation of future work.

Input and output components in interactive video game systems are important, especially when it comes to interaction style and experience. In particular, as a primary component of the user-interface control devices especially in interactive product systems that allow us to play are directly definitive in interaction and diverse in terms of form and functionality. Product features are considered important because they influence the UX. Therefore, two-phased study conducted in our study to review controllers from product design perspective with a certain game type and various controllers for better understanding effects of product features on anticipated user/player experience. Based on the existing AUX framework, we designed and implemented surveys to measure the expectation and evaluation of design features. As a result of the implementation, we obtained results that are consistent with the existing framework and easier to interpret and associate with AUX.

An innovative optical sensor is presented to investigate rotorcraft-pilot coupling phenomena. The device allows the acquire signals related to the activity of the pilot’s hand on the inceptors in terms of load direction and intensity variation. An experiment is performed in order to prove the sensor capability and to test the first prototype of sensorized helicopter stick. Different flight scenarios are simulated in order to evaluate the pilot’s workload evolution in time.

Existing techniques for monitoring and controlling the ventilation system in underground mines are limited; since they only detect areas of low oxygen level or use software to model systems based on standardized data, but not, they evaluate the factors and identify the causes that generate the deficiency in the system. For this reason, a predictive method of factors influencing the airflow of the ventilation system is proposed as a possible solution with the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) to strengthen the monitoring and control process. The methodology proposed in this research includes the analysis of air flow factors in critical mining areas to identify the study parameters. In the case study, a database of records of ventilation conditions of a mine was used. A test of 11 predictive neural networks was developed, with approximately a base of 250 standardized data.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, Ecuadorian university institutions have started a new academic period in the virtual modality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of ICT in the virtual teaching of students of the Salesian Poly-technic University as a challenge due to the pandemic. A structured questionnaire with a Likert scale was used, applied to 5432 students. The questionnaire yielded high-reliability coefficients in the pilot test and the real stage of the study, α = 0.95 and α = 0.98 respectively. The results indicate that ICT has allowed students to carry out tasks, evaluations and receive feedback from their teachers. However, the effectiveness of the virtual environment compared to the traditional environ-ment is discussed. In conclusion, ICT applied in virtual education allows students to develop a rhythm of self-taught learning strategies, whose knowledge can be applied to solving tasks and evaluations.

This research aims to explore and demonstrate the advantages of ARunning compared with traditional sports methods by studying the research status and development trend of augmented reality assisted sports applications, so as to realize the design and development of ARunning and enrich the form and development of ARunning. It also conducts usability testing and evaluation for the user experience, so as to realize the preliminary exploration on how AR can complement the practical application of sports psychology. In order to test the impact of ARunning on amateur runners' decision-making, experience during running, and feeling after running, we conducted live and online research on amateur runners. The results show that the popularization and application of this program will improve amateur athletes' exercise level to a certain extent and reduce their emotional burden, and it is likely to become the main motivation for users to participate in sports.

Brain’s functions imply the necessary cognitive processing to solve daily life problems. In this context, the frontal lobe has a predominant role in the decision-making process, and, when its functioning is not accurate, it generates severe problems in the person suffering of it. As a technological solution to help adolescents to take the best decisions, the aim of this article is to propose the conceptual development of a mobile application to compensate frontal lobe role and allow a person to improve the decision-making process, considering the diversity of implications and consequences that this action encompasses.

ICT generates changes on the business processes in a way management has not expected, subsequently the importance to understand them is extremely important. The research included 209 companies in Croatia, classified by size, total revenue, business sectors and number of employees; as four variables used in the research. The research investigates whether the introduction of computers, computer net-works, Internet, Mobile internet, e-mail, common databases or electronic business has led to change the business processes of the company. In 79% of the surveyed companies, those changes occurred. Whether there is a relationship be-tween the presence of business processes changes and four individual independent variables in this study, was analyzed by the chi-square test. Descriptive meth-od, quantitative and qualitative analysis, statistical methods, generalization and specialization, comparative analysis, mathematical and graphical methods were used in this paper.
