COVID-19 influenced peoples lives enormously and its impact was also seen in physical activity and exercising. This mixed methods intervention study highlights some of the impact the pandemic had on the physical activity and exercising behaviors of 10 Japanese information systems employees and students. This study also focuses on the influence that using sport and wellness technology digital coaching had on peoples’ physical activity, exercise motivation and exercise self-efficacy during the pandemic. Based on the findings digital coaching can have motivational elements to support people towards a more physically active lifestyle for example by making users more aware of their own physical activity. However, digital coaching is not enough if users do not have initial motivation which may be understandable in the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings highlight that digital coaching could be further developed to better support its users. This study and the results bring insight for digital coaching developers and users as well as people working in health care field.

While the uptake of AI and ML has been rising in recent years, SMEs still face various adoption challenges. In contrast to large enterprises, SMEs struggle to adopt AI as already the identification of suitable AI use cases requires substantial technical expertise. At the same time, productivity tools like AutoML promise easy access to AI capabilities to non-experts. This research-in-progress aims to investigate how AutoML tools can be utilised to facilitate the adoption of AI in SMEs. In a focus group with 11 representatives from SMEs, we identified and discussed potential AutoML use cases in detail. Results show that the identification of potential use cases rarely focused on existing and available data but rather repeated known use cases and success stories from large enterprises. We argue that a paradigm shift towards a data-centric approach would be beneficial to exhaust the capabilities of AutoML for SMEs.
虽然近年来人工智能和 ML 的使用率不断上升，但中小企业在采用人工智能和 ML 时仍面临各种挑战。与大型企业相比，中小企业在采用人工智能方面举步维艰，因为确定合适的人工智能用例需要大量的专业技术知识。与此同时，像 AutoML 这样的生产力工具却能让非专业人员轻松获得人工智能能力。这项正在进行的研究旨在探讨如何利用 AutoML 工具来促进中小型企业采用人工智能。在一个有 11 位中小企业代表参加的焦点小组中，我们详细确定并讨论了 AutoML 的潜在用例。结果显示，潜在用例的确定很少关注现有可用数据，而是重复大型企业的已知用例和成功案例。我们认为，向以数据为中心的方法进行范式转变将有利于为中小型企业穷尽 AutoML 的功能。

Digitalization in the maritime industry has been suggested as means to achieve safe, economically, and environmentally sound marine traffic. Despite the increasing adoption of digital services and technology in the maritime industry in Finland, the number of accidents has not reduced significantly. This research article aims to explore the potential for improving waterway safety in Finland. The study analyzes waterway accident data to identify the user group most in need of safety improvements and proposes targeted safety measures better tailored to recreational boaters. The study suggests enhancing the physical infrastructure and related digital services of sea areas to provide better coordinated traffic at sea and situational awareness among seafarers, including non-professional seafarers. Finally, a roadmap for implementing these safety measures will be developed. The research provides a comprehensive framework for improving waterway safety in Finland, reducing accidents, and fatalities.

Drawing on the task-technology fit framework, this study examines the antecedents and consequences of technostress students face in an online/blended-learning environment. The effect of task, technology, and individual students' characteristics was hypothesized as predictors of technostress. The impact of technostress was also examined on students' satisfaction with online learning and expected performance. Preliminary findings based on a sample of 261 university students suggest that tasks requiring interdependence and cooperative learning caused higher technostress, while technology characteristics such as perceived ease of use and usefulness negatively effect technostress. Students' conscientiousness positively affect perceptions of technostress. Unlike previous research, which examined a few antecedents of technostress, this study provides a more nuanced understanding of the causes of technostress in an online higher educational context.

Smart cities are no longer based only on technologies because it is their citizens who significantly influence the development. Lack of motivation plays a major role in the area of bottom-up participation. The digital transformation is creating new opportunities to support people in their participation process and increase motivation. Through the use of artificial intelligence, systems such as virtual companions can be improved further to create a valuable relationship between the human and the machine by incorporating interpersonal elements. A virtual companion that supports people in their participation process could be a solution to motivate people to participate. To provide a basis for deriving design knowledge for a Participation Companion this research starts by identifying the stakeholders’ needs and problems based on literature reviews and interviews. It then follows an iterative, user centered prototype development and evaluation.

Healthcare is in crisis. On the one hand, the population is ageing, on the other hand, we are faced with a lack of resources: human, spatial and financial. That means that we have to make the health system more efficient. During a period of treatment, patients come into contact with a variety of health providers at different levels of the health system. That leads to the gaps between different instances of treatment. According to experiences in other fields, such as industry, a process-oriented view of health treatment could be one of the components of a successful solution. We wonder: How does viewing the medical treatment a patient receives throughout their life as a process affect the gaps between different instances of treatment?

Lifelong vocational learning in a digital context frequently falters due to a lack of motivation, structure, time management, and attention to adult students’ work-life balance. In remote settings, students have further little contact with peers and feel disconnected. This paper answers how a Virtual Learning Companion (VLC) can be designed to address these challenges and fulfill the specific needs of vocational students. Following a Design Science Research (DSR) approach, a meta-requirement mapping process combines insights from a literature review and ten semi-structured interviews with vocational students. A focus group with experts from the field of vocational training, online learning, chatbot design, and DSR evaluated the results. As a result, five Design Principles are presented: (1) Motivational Goal Setting, (2) Context and Learner Adaptation, (3) Focus and Control, (4) Promoting Resilience, and (5) Enabling Social Interactions and Feedback. Exemplary Design Features further illustrate the VLC development.

The shortage for ICT personal in the EU is large and expected to increase. The aim of this paper is to disseminates information from the ESSA alliances needs analysis. The needs analysis research was to contribute to a better understanding of the roles and competences needed, so that education curricula can be better aligned to evolving market demand,by answering the research question: Which competence gaps do we need to bridge in order to meet the future need for sufficiently qualified personnel in the EU Software sector? In this research, a mixed method approach was executed by ESSA-partners in twelve European countries, to map the current and future needs for competences in the EU. The analyses shows changes in demand regarding technical skills, e.g. low-code and a stronger focus on soft skills like communication and critical thinking. Besides this, the research showed educational institutes would do well to develop their curricula in a practical way by integration of real live cases and work together with organizations.
欧盟的信息和通信技术人才缺口很大，而且预计还会增加。本文旨在传播来自 ESSA 联盟需求分析的信息。需求分析研究旨在通过回答研究问题，帮助人们更好地了解所需的角色和能力，从而使教育课程更好地适应不断变化的市场需求：我们需要弥补哪些能力差距，才能满足欧盟软件业未来对合格人才的需求？在这项研究中，ESSA 的合作伙伴在 12 个欧洲国家采用了一种混合方法，以绘制欧盟当前和未来的能力需求图。分析结果表明，对技术技能的需求发生了变化，如低代码以及更加注重沟通和批判性思维等软技能。除此以外，研究还表明，教育机构可以通过整合真实案例和与组织合作的方式，以实用的方式开发课程。

The pervasive and ubiquitous nature of technology has grown exponentially in the last decades. Technostress has been a common consequence of such intensive use, causing serious damage to IT users and organizations. How technostress is formed via primary appraisal toward IT and how it can be mitigated has been overlooked by prior research. This research addresses these gaps by mobilizing an IT identity perspective. IT identity informs about individuals’ attitudes towards IT and would explain the formation of negative feelings associated with the use of IT as well as how technostress mitigation occurs in a personal IT use setting.

The use of simulators has grown a vast amount in the past few years, with various research reports on the advantages that come with the use of this technology. However, the use of simulators as a form of treatment/aids have yet to be fully embraced. Given the growing diffusion of technology, many people can benefit from simulators that are more accessible and improve specific qualities to help them cope with their deficiencies. To examine this current void, this research in progress examines the benefits of physical activity for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) through the use of a VSail Sailing Simulator. Specifically, we contend that there are benefits to addressing strength and balance. Thus, this paper analyzes the ramifications of the findings, along with knowledge gaps and a research plan.
