TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the relative advantages of speed and environmental friendliness, along with complexity, performance risk, and privacy risk, affect drone delivery adoption, and personal innovativeness also positively affects adoption intention.

TL;DR: A conceptual model and hypotheses based on the theory of reasoned action and perceived values from the perspectives of software, hardware, and aesthetic design demonstrated relatively good explanatory power for purchase intention in the context of smartwatches.

TL;DR: The proposed model explains 61% of the variance in performance impact, and theoretical and practical implications are provided as well.

TL;DR: Results show that time convenience, interactivity, and compatibility positively influenced mobile app engagement, in turn leading to strong relationship commitment and self-brand connections and theoretical and practical implications for effective app engagement strategies are discussed.

TL;DR: This study empirically proves that the motive for socialization has a high correlation with gift-giving behavior, which is considered as commoditization of a viewer’s social interaction while consuming media.

TL;DR: The review of EDM research of the teaching and learning process considering the educational perspective allowed to present perspectives, identify trends and observe potential research directions, such as behavioral research, collaboration, interaction and performance in the development of teaching-learning activities.

TL;DR: A new theoretical model is developed and validated to extend traditional technology acceptance theories by identifying several value drivers of the continuous intention and actual usage of wearable devices.

TL;DR: U–learning is able to transform traditional education provided at classroom level and by e–learning, because students, pertaining to diverse academic levels experience real and authentic settings, are immersed in dual reality sceneries, benefit from context–aware support, and interact with different devices and technologies in a blended fashion.

TL;DR: Review helpfulness prediction models indicate that reviewer characteristics are good predictors of review helpfulness, whereas review quality and review sentiment are poor predictor ofreview helpfulness.

TL;DR: This study looks at the adoption of social media among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Middle East region; specifically, in the UAE using in-depth semi-structured personal interviews with entrepreneurs of SMEs.

TL;DR: It fills a gap in the literature by proposing a nuanced definition of digital capital (as a new “bourdieusian capital”) and analysing how its relationship with the 5Cs influences digital inequalities, and how it may reinforce or mitigate previous social inequalities.

TL;DR: This study proposes an integrated framework that consists of Mobile Technology Acceptance Model, personal factors, and Interactivity Theory to understand consumers’ intention to adopt mobile social media advertising in receiving tourism-related advertisements.

TL;DR: The most influential determinants of cloud adoption were found to be quality of service and trust, and it was showed that the effect of these variables differed according to organisation size and in adopter and non-adopter companies.

TL;DR: This method is based on automatically obtaining bibliographic data from scientific publications through the use of the Scopus Database API Interface, which are then analysed using graph visualization software and statistical tools and show that it is possible to determine in a fast way and with high reliability the main research lines of an institution as well as the structure of the collaboration network.

TL;DR: A conceptual framework to improve the security of medical data associated with Android mHealth applications, as well as to protect the privacy of their users is presented.

TL;DR: Emoji and emoticons usage showed that women reported to use emoji (but not emoticons) more often and expressed more positive attitudes toward their usage than men, and these gender differences were particularly evident for younger participants.

TL;DR: The role of social media in activating political participation, which eventually pushes the users toward the ideological poles is highlighted, and a clear trend toward a more liberal direction is observed among both politically neutral users and moderately liberal users.

TL;DR: The proposed hybrid content analytics framework provides a research foundation for e-commerce logistics management and can be implemented by vital strategies: “Establish inter-organizational and technical collaboration to create positive operations performance” and “Comprehend law, policy, and cultural differences to customize appropriate technologies of e- commerce logistics”.

TL;DR: The study results evince the effectiveness of multiple learning delivery modes on the learning development of students in higher education.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the Lexicon-based approach outperforms Supervised Machine Learning approach not only in terms of Accuracy, Precision, Recall and F-measure but also in termsof economy of time and efforts used.
