This study proposed an eye responses-based mental workload (E-MWL) evaluation method in nuclear power plants (NPPs) when performing the task via a user interface control. The fuzzy theory was used to combine four eye response indices using the entropy weight method. Then, the E-MWL method was validated through experiments by comparison with the NASA-TLX rating and performance measures indices in two different tasks of the state-oriented procedure (SOP) in NPP. The correlation analysis results between the NASA-TLX and eye response indices showed that four eye response indices used in this study were correlated significantly with the NASA-TLX, indicating that these indices may develop the E-MWL method. The E-MWL score results indicated that it is highly correlated with NASA-TLX and performance measures indices in two different tasks of SOP in NPP. This has proved that E-MWL is an objective method suitable for evaluating and predicting human mental workload (MWL) for interface control task in NPPs.

This study makes use of online teaching in this environment and adopts it for use in a required computer skills course with cognitive apprenticeship (CA) and co-regulated learning (CRL) teaching methods to improve students’ computer skills, learning motivation, and experience of online learning. The subjects of this study are first-year students of a non-information-related department at a private university in Northern Taiwan. A total of four classes comprising 111 students participated in the research. The CRL and CA group (C1, n=24) concurrently received CRL and CA treatments, the non-CRL and CA group (C2, n=25) received only the CA teaching method, and the CRL and non-CA group (C3, n=40) received only the teaching method of CRL. The non-CRL and non-CA group (C4, n=22) served as the control group. The results show that the use of CA can significantly improve students’ computer skills; however, the expected effects of CRL were not found in this study.

This study explores consumers' continuous intention regarding online shopping in Taiwan. The technology acceptance model and expectation confirmation model are integrated to explore the influential factors in the continuous online shopping intention. A total number of 236 samples were collected from an online survey and analyzed using structural equation modeling with the partial least squares approach. The integrated model has good explanatory power (73.8%) to predict the continuous intention of online shopping. The results indicate that satisfaction, attitude, and perceived usefulness have a significant influence on continuous intention. Attitude has large effect size and is found to be the most significant continuous intention predictor. Confirmation and perceived ease of use indirectly influenced continuous intention through satisfaction and attitude, respectively. Perceived usefulness affects consumers' attitudes more than making online shopping easy to operate. The implications of this research are also discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to examine smartphone user’s brand loyalty decisions across and within generation cohorts – Gen Z and Millennials, based on customer value theory. The study discovers value perceptions for the cohorts, utilizes these for identifying distinct consumer segments within the cohorts and finally, investigates the impact of these value perceptions, on loyalty, for each of the sub-segments. A four stage analysis involving exploratory factor analysis, cluster analysis, ANOVA and MANOVA was undertaken. Three distinctive clusters were obtained within both Gen Z and the Millennials and for each of these sub-segments, the influence of the identified value perceptions, when investigated on attitudinal and behavioral components of loyalty, threw striking differences. The paper extends the current understanding of smartphone brand management, particularly from the perspective of identifying value perceptions’ based consumer segments, within the cohorts and mapping the influence of these identified perceptions on both attitudinal and behavioral components of loyalty.

The rapid increase in scientific publications makes it difficult for researchers to keep up with the latest literature and to explore new research directions. The literature-based discovery (LBD) systems aim to resolve this issue by bridging literatures from disparate fields to assist researchers in knowledge discovery and the formulation and testing of research hypotheses. Previous studies have focused mainly on evaluating the efficacy of LBD systems by replicating historical LBD events. The usability of LBD systems has been under-researched, which partly explains the low adoption of the systems. This paper presents a survey study that evaluates the usability of a LBD system for knowledge discovery and hypothesis refinement, and also investigates factors affecting its adoption among biomedical researchers in Sarawak, Malaysia. The findings suggest that the adoption of the LBD system is related to their perceived usefulness and perceived difficulty in interacting with the user interface features of the system.

With the rapid development of information communication technology (ICT) in teaching, deeper learning has become an essential competency for success in the 21st-century classroom. College students' deeper learning assessments can indicate the degree of technology-enhanced learning effectiveness and inform further instructional design optimization. However, comprehensive measures for assessing college students' deeper learning and the impact of background variables on deeper learning in the low-, medium-, and high-blend learning environments are scarcely mentioned in the literature. This paper proposes a deeper learning self-assessment scale (DLSS) comprising higher-order cognitive, interactive, and reflective learning dimensions, validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. This paper also examines deeper learning perceptions in three types of blended learning environments with various proportions of online and face-to-face learning and explores perception differences among the students of different genders, school years, and fields of study. Findings indicated positive deeper learning perceptions were higher in the medium-blend courses.

Based on an extended version of the technology acceptance model (TAM), this study aims to understand the intention to use tourism mobile applications. WoM about app and personal innovativeness was added to the original model along with perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and attitude. A questionnaire was distributed through the convenience sampling method and 440 valid respondents were retained and analysed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of this study show that WoM about app represents the strongest predictor of the intention to use of tourism mobile applications followed respectively by perceived usefulness, attitude toward using tourism mobile applications, and personal innovativeness. The findings provide implications that would benefit managers in the hospitality and tourism sector as well as mobile app developers in order to ensure the effectiveness of their marketing and communication strategies and adapt their activities to the needs of a customer of the digital age.

This paper presents research in progress study about attitudes and experiences of women in computing. The study was conducted within female students, aged between 16 and 25 years old, and teachers in high schools and universities. A survey was also presented to professional women in the computer science area. The questionnaire was prepared with eighteen questions concerning general information about the motivation to choose computer sciences and computing/Informatics as a thematic area to be followed at university level; the context they had at home using a computer; the use by other family members; the influences they had to use a computer, either at home or in other places; and their thoughts about computing. To complement the data gathered, semi-structured interviews were designed. The conclusions were that the number of females in computer science studies are increasing comparing to male positions, however more work should be done to improve their motivation. The main contribution of this paper is the testimony of the Portuguese situation concerning the topic.
