Analysis of selected technology acceptance model constructs and their impact on user behavior

Nowadays, when the Internet is a regular part of people’s life in competitive conditions, it is essential to emphasize user feelings about the products, especially in the context of web pages. The study aims to clarify the significance of selected Technology Acceptance Model elements concerning user behavior in the web area. The study applied an exploratory method using an anonymous questionnaire in electronic form (Likert scale). This study’s respondents were website users, visitors, or internet users within the EU. Adequacy of the research sample was measured using Cronbach’s alpha and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (226 respondents). This paper proposed factors that impact user behavior. The quality of the website content factor contains two other variables: the quality of information (QI-Q5) and its availability (AI-A3). The design quality factor is composed of four elements: appearance (AP1-AP5), website findability (F1-F4), website navigation (N1-N3), and website access and usability (AU1-AU4). In addition, the paper selected the perceived usefulness factor (USEF1), the factor of perceived ease of use (EOU1-EOU3), and the attitude to use the website (ATT1). This study calculated the values of the Pearson correlation coefficients and used the lower triangle method to obtain the resulting coefficient values. The analysis results show that the simplicity of use and page orientation does not affect the actual use of the website. The study’s outcome is a model that identifies the impact of individual factors on user behavior in the context of user experience.

The sweet spot in the eye of the beholder? Exploring the sweet sour spots of Asian restaurant menus

ABSTRACT Research on consumer reading (i.e., visual patterns) of Asian restaurant menus is new territory for academic research. This study is the first attempt to scrutinize consumers’ visual patterns toward restaurant menus varied by the combination of page orientation (landscape vs. portrait) and menu script (horizontal vs. vertical). Based on existing menus, four distinct versions were created and tested on 54 participants, while collecting eye-tracking measures. After applying the two-way ANOVA, we found that page orientation, menu scripts, and their interaction do not cause a significant impact on the average total fixation time of the participants. Contingency table tests and the one-way ANOVA reveal that a sweet spot and sour spot exist on three of the four menus studied.

Development and Validation of a Questionnaire to Assess Fruit and Vegetable (FV) Consumption at School Lunch

Develop and validate a modifiable, paper-and-pencil questionnaire assessing FV consumption at school lunch. Five phase validation study, in which the questionnaire was iteratively modified. The setting was 23 public elementary schools from eight states in the U.S. (70% urban; 77% free/reduced price lunch eligible) participating in the National School Lunch Program. Second and 3rd graders (n=41, 62, 71, 63, 976 for Phases 1-5, respectively) participated. The Fruit and Vegetable Recall Questionnaire (FVRQ), adapted from Paxton et al (2011), was administered within the classroom directly after lunch and assessed FV items taken and amounts consumed. FVs were tailored based on lunch that day. A digital photography method was the referent; students’ trays were photographed in the cafeteria before and after eating and photos were visually analyzed. Agreement between methods was calculated as rates of matches, intrusions, and omissions for each Phase. Questionnaire modifications included changing page orientation, increasing font size, reducing response options, using smiley faces for scales of measurement, and adding a training page. The match rate for FV items taken was high (Phases 1-5: 82%, 82%, 91%, 92%, 89%, respectively), with intrusions more frequent than omissions. For amounts eaten, match rates were moderate, but improved throughout Phases 1-5 (68%, 67%, 84%, 83%, 76%); students more frequently overestimated than underestimated consumption. Second and third grade students had similar match rates for items taken (87% vs. 87%) and amounts consumed (72% vs. 75%). The FVRQ is a simple, accurate instrument for assessing FV consumption among elementary students that is low-cost to administer and analyze.

How to get 10 pounds of data into a 5-pound can – using flyover technique In HTML output

Abstract When delivering results today, it is more and more common that delivering the output to the screen will be a requirement. Without getting into issues of font size or page orientation, there is generally about one third less horizontal space to work with between a screen and a hardcopy document. However, there is an easy to use technique available that allows for the presentation of more data to the user without requiring them to scroll back and forth. This paper is a guide through the processes necessary to convert static hardcopy output from PROC PRINT to the more flexible PROC REPORT, use flyovers to present descriptive information, thereby reducing the screen real estate consumed, and to package it all in an HTML wrapper. In other words, a way of getting ten pounds of data into a five pound can.

Browser-based applications: popular but flawed?

Browser-based applications (BBAs), applications built on top of web browsers, dominate the world of Internet Applications today but are fundamentally flawed because the web browser is a weak platform for applications. Three characteristics of the browser—page orientation, statelessness, and limited computation—combine to produce a set of practical problems for BBA users. These problems include delays and discontinuities, confusion and errors, clumsy interfacing and limited functionality, printing problems, and filing difficulties. The paper analyzes these usability problems, providing numerous examples and tracing them back to underlying browser characteristics. The paper also examines the factors that make BBAs so popular despite their flaws. The paper concludes by considering directions for understanding the phenomenon better and for improving the current state of Internet Applications.

Automated page orientation and skew angle detection for binary document images

We describe the development and implementation of algorithms for detecting the page orientation (portrait/landscape) and the degree of skew for documents available as binary images. A new and fast approach is advanced herein whereby skew angle detection takes advantage of information found using the page orientation algorithm. Page orientation is accomplished using local analysis, while skew angle detection is implemented based on the processing of pixels of last black run-lengths of binary image objects. The experiments carried out on a variety of medical journals show the feasibility of the new approach and indicate that detection accuracy can be improved by minimizing the effects of non-textual data.

Detecting the skew angle in document images

In the field of document image analysis, accurate detection and removal of intrinsic skew is of paramount importance as a first step in the processing of document images. Here we present an efficient scheme for detecting the degree of misalignment in a document page. The proposed algorithm operates directly on the raw digitised image and is shown to achieve a high skew detection accuracy for mixed mode document formats which contain typewritten text, cursive script, line-art and photographic pictures. We also discuss efficiency considerations for a practical real-time hardware implementation of the algorithm. Furthermore, in a practical document image processing environment, it is necessary to process documents that are landscape or portrait oriented. In this context we present an algorithm which determines the page orientation prior to skew detection.

Software Reviews : Graphwriter 4.3

This is a complex graphics package capable of making presentation-quality charts and signs of many varieties. Though three-dimensional graphics are not supported, a wide range of bar charts, pie charts, line charts, scatterplots, and text fonts are. Moreover, the user has almost total control over the placement and variation of graph elements, including font, color, location, rotation, size, page orientation, and symbols. Data may be input from spreadsheets or databases which use the STLK or DiF interchange formats, such as Lotus I-2-3 and VisiCalc. This package could eliminate the need for professional artwork in many publishing situations, not to mention aid faculty in preparing outstanding visuals for presentations.
