In the face of changes experienced by emerging ways of life through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), especially after the mobility achieved through wireless network (wi-fi), this work aimed to investigate the occurrence of physical changes in domestic spaces from these existing communication processes. The research was based on a bibliographic study on lifestyle and home environments, in the application of an online questionnaire with a portion of the population of the city of Maceio and analysis of the spaces offered by the local housing market made for a family "standard ". The daily activities were modified and one of the factors that happened was the addition of virtual spaces in the physical home environments, making hybrid and changing the whole dynamics of home use. As a result, it was observed that the invariance of residential typologies does not take into account the real needs of the residents, but not prevent them from using their electronic devices on considered traditional spaces, as it is also in these virtual spaces, that part of everyday life effective. Thus, it was found that the division of the house into three sectors (social, intimate and service) initiated by bourgeois society and consolidated during the twentieth century, has been dissolved, much the appropriation of spaces by residents, than what has been offered by the housing market. / Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas / Diante das transformações sofridas pelos modos de vida emergentes através do uso das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC), sobretudo após a mobilidade conseguida através rede sem fio (wi-fi), buscou-se investigar a ocorrência de alterações em espaços domésticos físicos a partir destes processos comunicacionais vigentes. A pesquisa foi baseada em um estudo bibliográfico sobre modos de vida e espaços de habitação, na aplicação de um questionário on-line com uma parcela da população da cidade de Maceió e na análise sobre os espaços oferecidos pelo mercado imobiliário local feitos para uma família “padrão” (do ponto de vida mercadológico). As atividades cotidianas foram modificadas e um dos fatores para que isso tenha acontecido foi a adição de espaços virtuais nos ambientes domésticos físicos, tornando-os híbridos e modificando toda a dinâmica de uso do lar. Como resultado, observou-se que a invariabilidade das tipologias residenciais não leva em consideração as reais necessidades dos moradores, mas não os impede de utilizar seus aparelhos eletrônicos em espaços considerados tradicionais, visto que é também nestes espaços virtuais, que parte da vida cotidiana se efetiva. Assim, foi constatado que a divisão da moradia em três setores (social, íntimo e de serviço) iniciada pela sociedade burguesa e consolidada durante o século XX, vem sendo dissolvida, muito mais pela apropriação dos espaços pelos moradores, do que pelo que tem sido ofertado pelo mercado.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This study aims to investigate whether the implementation of activities based on hybrid education contribute to the qualifications of history teaching and learning in high school. Initially, an approach to history teaching over time reaching the present time, marked by the use of technology was made. In this context, it addresses the Hybrid Education, set of practices that seek to reconcile the use of digital technologies to the space of the traditional classroom. From this, it sought to organize activities informed the concepts of hybrid education, which were applied in groups 3º1 and 3º 3 High School State Institute of Education Teacher Annes Dias - Cruz Alta. Two models were developed: Reversed Classroom and rotation for seasons These activities were put in place having as a guiding principle of a Research Methodology Qualitative because not sought evidence closed data by numbers, but reflections from the observations made in classroom. The analysis served to verify that there really is a qualitative potential in the hybrid model, in that there was greater involvement of students, as well as enhancement of the teaching-learning process. However, there are still some limitations with regard to access to technology in schools, lack of teacher training in the use of digital resources and attachment of many students to the traditional teaching model, based on the teacher's idea as the center of the teaching process and learning. / Este trabalho tem como finalidade investigar se a implementação de atividades baseadas no Ensino Híbrido contribuem para a qualificação do ensino-aprendizagem de história no Ensino Médio. Inicialmente, foi feita uma abordagem do ensino de história ao longo tempo chegando ao momento atual, marcado pelo uso das tecnologias. Nesse contexto, aborda-se o Ensino Híbrido, conjunto de práticas que buscam conciliar o uso das tecnologias digitais ao espaço da sala de aula tradicional. A partir disso, buscou-se organizar atividades embasadas nos conceitos do Ensino Híbrido, as quais foram aplicadas nas turmas 3º 1 e 3º 3 do Ensino Médio do Instituto Estadual de Educação Professor Annes Dias de Cruz Alta. Dois modelos foram desenvolvidos: Sala de Aula Invertida e Rotação por estações Estas atividades foram colocadas em prática tendo como princípio norteador a de uma Metodologia de Pesquisa Qualitativa, pois não buscou evidenciar dados fechados através de números, mas sim reflexões a partir das observações feitas em sala de aula. As análises serviram para verificar que realmente existe um potencial qualitativo no modelo híbrido, na medida em que houve maior envolvimento dos estudantes, bem como, potencialização do processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Contudo, ainda existem alguns limites no que diz respeito ao acesso às tecnologias nas escolas, falta de capacitação de professores no uso dos recursos digitais e apego de muitos alunos ao modelo tradicional de ensino, baseado na ideia do professor como o centro do processo de ensino e aprendizagem.

The adoption of information systems (IS) by public organizations it is currently a need to restructure its management activities. From this adoption, there is an expectation that users of SI satisfactorily use the benefits to your work activities. However, there is a gap in the related resistance to change and resource use of information technology (IT) public sector. Thus, understanding the factors that influence their users to accept or use of this new technology represents a significant research purpose, both for the academy and for public management. Thus, the main objective of this dissertation is to investigate factors of technology acceptance and use that influencing public servants of a Federal Institution of Education, particularly the Federal University of Sergipe, to use an information system. Studies have shown the existence of several factors that influence the acceptance and use of technology and, considering the purpose of this research, the model UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology), originally developed by Venkatesh et al. (2003) was applied. It was research procedures, epistemologically positivist, quantitative method and deductive approach to exploratory and descriptive purpose. It was conducted a literature survey of topics on information systems, information technology in organizations, the context of public service and acceptance and use of technology. The field research it was used the survey method, with the data collection conducted by a questionnaire applied to active public servants of Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), which is one of at least 20 Federal Education Institutions that have adopted the same SI. The initial hypothesis of this study argued that the acceptance and use of the SI in question is influenced by four factors: Performance expectancy, Effort expectancy, Social influence and Facilitating conditions. Were added to the moderating variables: gender, age, experience and voluntariness. The sample was of 373 respondents. Treatment and data analysis were performed using descriptive analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, the t test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). It is concluded that the Performance expectancy, Effort expectancy and Social influence are factors that serve to measure the usage behavior of the public servers of UFS, but the influence of all of them occurred only positively to two of the three subsystems studied: the Integrated Wealth Management, Administration and Contracts (SIPAC) and the Integrated Management of Human Resources (SIGRH). The Integrated System Management Academic Activities (SIGAA) was only positively influenced by Performance expectancy. Moderators were considered only age and voluntariness of use to construct social influence; and experience to the effort expectancy. Other results were appointed to academic and managerial contributions. / A adoção de sistemas de informação (SI) por organizações públicas trata-se atualmente de uma necessidade de reestruturação de suas atividades gerenciais. A partir desta adoção, existe uma expectativa de que os usuários de SI utilizem de forma satisfatória os benefícios para as suas atividades de trabalho. Porém, existe uma lacuna no setor público relacionada à resistência às mudanças e ao uso de recursos de tecnologia de informação (TI). Assim, entender os fatores que influenciam seus usuários a aceitarem ou utilizarem esta nova tecnologia representa um relevante propósito de pesquisa, tanto para a academia quanto para a gestão pública. Desta forma, o objetivo principal desta dissertação é investigar fatores de aceitação e uso de tecnologia que influenciam servidores públicos de uma Instituição Federal de Ensino (IFE), em particular os da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS), a utilizarem um sistema de informação. Estudos têm demonstrado a existência de diversos fatores que influenciam a aceitação e o uso de tecnologia e, considerando o intuito desta pesquisa, o modelo UTAUT (Teoria Unificada de Aceitação e Uso de Tecnologia), desenvolvido originalmente por Venkatesh et al. (2003), foi aplicado. Tratou-se de pesquisa com procedimentos do método quantitativo, epistemologicamente positivista, com abordagem dedutiva e propósito exploratório e descritivo. Realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico de temas sobre sistemas de informação, tecnologia da informação nas organizações, o contexto do serviço público e aceitação e uso de tecnologia. A pesquisa de campo utilizou-se do método survey, sendo a coleta de dados realizada por meio de questionário aplicado a servidores públicos ativos da UFS, que é uma das pelo menos 20 IFE que adotaram um mesmo SI. As hipóteses iniciais desta pesquisa defenderam que a aceitação e o uso do SI em questão é influenciada por quatro fatores: Expectativa de Desempenho, Expectativa de Esforço, Influência Social e Condições Facilitadoras. Acrescentaram-se as variáveis moderadoras: gênero, idade, experiência e voluntariedade. A amostra foi de 373 respondentes. O tratamento e a análise dos dados foram realizados por meio de análise descritiva, análise fatorial confirmatória, o teste t e a Análise de Variância (ANOVA). Conclui-se que os fatores Expectativa de desempenho, Expectativa de esforço e Influência social servem para mensurar o comportamento de uso dos servidores da UFS, mas a influência de todos eles só ocorreu de forma positiva para dois dos três subsistemas estudados: o Sistema Integrado de Gestão de Patrimônio, Administração e Contratos (SIPAC) e o Sistema Integrado de Gestão de Recursos Humanos (SIGRH). O Sistema Integrado de Gestão de Atividades Acadêmicas (SIGAA) apenas foi influenciado positivamente pela Expectativa de desempenho. Foram considerados moderadores apenas a idade e a voluntariedade de uso para o construto Influência social; e a experiência para a Expectativa de esforço. Outros resultados foram apontados para contribuições acadêmicas e gerenciais. / São Cristóvão, SE

Förväntad effekt av vårdens elektroniska IT-system är ökad patientsäkerhet, vårdkvalitet och tillgänglighet. Ett första villkor för att kunna uppnå detta är att IT-systemet används. I denna studie granskas ett underutnyttjat IT-system, använt för informationsöverföring mellan olika huvudmän vid samordnad vård- och omsorgsplanering. Granskningen baseras på teorier om hur individers intention och vilja till att använda ett IT-system initieras eller upprätthålls genom omgivningens påverkan. Resultatet visar att IT-användare i den patientnära vården (mikrosystemet) saknar adekvat tekniskt, organisatoriskt (mesosystemet) och ledningsstöd (makrosystemet), vilket kan förklara underutnyttjandet. / Expected impact of electronic healthcare systems is increasing patient safety, care quality and availability. Using the system is essential to achieve this. This study explain the assimilation gap in an electronic healthcare system used in coordinated care planning by theories how individuals’ intentions and willingness to use electronic systems is affected by environmental influences. The result shows that the end users lack technical, organizational, and management support, which can explains the assimilation gap.

As of autumn 2011, all schools in Sweden have adopted and applied the latest curriculum for the compulsory school system. The following is written in concern to technology: "The school is responsible for ensuring that each pupil on completing compulsory school: [...] can use modern technology as a tool in the search for knowledge, communication, creativity and learning." (Skolverket, 2011, pp.13-14) With this said, there are no guidelines or manuals on how this is to be conducted. In a report from the Swedish Schools Inspectorate it was concluded that the investment in technology is not being used for school education. The education systems keep investing in technology in the belief that schools and teachers will sooner or later adopt and benefit from the use of mobile and ubiquitous technologies. The aim of this study is to “create an understanding of the aspects that have an impact on adopting novel use of mobile and ubiquitous technologies in everyday teaching and learning practices in compulsory schools.” The empirical foundation will be based upon three projects: Geometry Mobile (GeM); Learning Ecology with Technologies from Science for Global Outcomes (LETS GO); and Collaborative Learning Using Digital Pens and Interactive Whiteboards (Collboard). All were conducted at local compulsory schools in Växjö municipality, Sweden, in collaboration with teachers, students and fellow researchers from the CeLeKT research group at Linnaeus University. Two Thematic Analyses have been conducted: the first, an inductive analysis exploring the Students’ and Teachers’ Experience of using Mobile and Ubiquitous Technologies in their learning and teaching environment. The second analysis is deductive and uses themes from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology models with the aim of understanding the Perception and Acceptance of Teachers’ use of Mobile and Ubiquitous Technologies. In the results from the two analyses there are clear indicators on the added value that mobile and ubiquitous technology brings to the classrooms: students are able to actively participate, collaborate and discuss in different learning settings, which enhances their understanding of the subject at hand. The challenges are mainly to be found in the lack of training and education in use of the technology as a supporting tool for teaching and learning. Further factors influencing the teachers and the students are ease of use and reliability of the technology and societal changes. The results of the analysis and the theoretical base of Technology Enhanced Learning have been illustrated with Soft Systems Methodologies Rich Picture, providing a holistic view of the problematic situation and making it possible to discuss the various parts as well as the situation as a whole. This study indicates that there are several factors influencing the adoption of the novel use of mobile and ubiquitous technologies in everyday teaching and learning within a complex situation on different levels.

Der zentrale Auftrag der Wirtschaftsprüfung ist die Überprüfung und Testierung der Finanzberichterstattung von Unternehmen. Damit trägt der Berufsstand der Wirtschaftsprüfer maßgeblich zum Vertrauen der Gesellschaft in das Wirtschafts- und Finanzwesen bei, die Grundvoraussetzung für die Funktionsfähigkeit von Märkten und wirtschaftlicher Handlungsfähigkeit. Der wachsende Einsatz von KI-Systemen, die Verwendung von Cloud-Services und die Verarbeitung von Massendaten bei der Erstellung von Rechnungslegung und Publizität hat verstärkt zur Folge, dass sich Prüfungssituationen und -szenarien verändern oder gar vollständig neu entwickeln. Dies erfordert enorme Investitionen in IT-Ressourcen und -Kompetenzen, damit sich auch in Zukunft hochwertige Prüfungsergebnisse erzielen lassen. Vor allem für kleinere und mittelständische Prüfungsgesellschaften ist diese Herausforderung jedoch kaum eigenständig zu bewältigen. Nachdem im Jahr 2017 eine gesetzliche Grundlage für die cloudbasierte Bündelung von IT-Ressourcen und -Kompetenzen bei einem spezialisierten Dienstleister geschaffen wurde, wird daher der Einsatz von sogenannten „Audit Clouds“ als eine Alternative zur klassischen Kanzleiorganisation diskutiert. Dabei ist noch nicht abschließend geklärt, wie unter Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher kanzlei- und mandatsbezogener Perspektiven und unter Einhaltung prüfungsnormbezogener Voraussetzungen die Geschäftsmodelle und das Dienstleistungsspektrum von sogenannten "Audit Clouds" gestaltet sein sollen. Gleichzeitig bedingt die erfolgreiche Entwicklung und Diffusion digitaler Innovationen hinreichende Erkenntnisse über die Akzeptanz künftiger Anwender. Dieser Untersuchungsbedarf wird in der vorliegenden Dissertation in einem dreistufigen Vorgehen adressiert: Im ersten Schritt werden in Abhängigkeit von kanzlei- und mandatsbezogenen Anforderungen sowie unter Berücksichtigung von berufsständischen Normen verschiedene Audit-Cloud-Ansätze hergeleitet. Bei den anknüpfenden Akzeptanzuntersuchungen bilden diese Ansätze das Untersuchungsobjekt. Der zweite Schritt umfasst die Entwicklung eines Forschungsmodells, auf dessen Basis die Akzeptanz von Wirtschaftsprüfern gegenüber Audit Clouds untersucht wird. Im dritten Schritt wird unter Verwendung des Mixed-Methods-Ansatzes die indirekten und direkten Effekte und Determinanten ermittelt, die die Akzeptanz des Berufsstands gegenüber Audit Clouds begünstigen und vorhersagen.

This thesis aims to describe the addictive design of digital technologies together with its principles through the concept of the attention economy, problematic use of technology, the discipline of design, and mental processes behind the formation of the habit. Besides that, the goal is to map the Czech environment of user awareness of this type of design and its principles by a quantitative questionnaire survey.

The Unified theory of Technology Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model suggest that the user acceptance before adopting a technology will greatly affect how the technology is accepted, and in effect its impact and performance in the organisation. A technology that is having an increasing presence in organisations is Procure-to-Pay (P2P) systems. P2P systems have been shown to achieve performance gains after a successful implementation in the form of increased efficiency, higher quality and better control in the procurement process. Being able to assess beforehand the performance gains of a technology before adoption is a crucial step for organisations seeking to lower uncertainties. This research assesses the importance of user acceptance as a precondition for a successful implementation of a P2P system. The research was conducted as a multiple case study at three organisations; Jernhusen, Akademiska Hus and Specialfastigheter. Jernhusen is considering adopting a P2P system. Akademiska Hus and Specialfastigheter have undergone the adoption of a P2P system. By measuring the user acceptance at Jernhusen the performance of a P2P system was assessed from a theoretical standpoint. The performance of a P2P system, and how well the implementation had succeeded was measured at Akademiska Hus and Specialfastigheter and put in relation to the measured user acceptance before adoption. This provided data to assess to what extent user acceptance is a precondition for a successful implementation of a P2P system. The study found that the user acceptance at Jernhusen, Akademiska Hus and Specialfastigheter was low before adoption. The theory indicate that this would lead to low adoption of a P2P system at Jernhusen and few performance gains. However, performance measurements made at Akademiska Hus and Specialfastigheter indicated that the P2P systems have led to medium to high performance gains respectively despite of low user acceptance before adoption. The research therefore concluded that user acceptance is not an important precondition for a successful implementation of a P2P system. / Unified Theory of Technology Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) modellen menar att användaracceptans innan en teknologi implementeras i en organisation är en avgörande faktor på hur organisationen kommer ta till sig teknologin och i sin tur teknologins effekt på organisationen. En teknologi som är allt mer framstående inom större organisationer är Procure-To-Pay (P2P) system. Effekterna av ett P2P system efter en framgångsrik implementation har påvisats vara förbättrad kvalité samt ökad effektivitet och kontroll av ingående steg av inköpsprocessen. Att kunna utvärdera systemets inverkan på en organisation i förhand är avgörande för organisationer som ämnar att minimera osäkerheter och risk vid systemimplementation. Denna studie utvärderar vikten av användaracceptans som en förutsättning för en lyckat implementation av ett P2P system. Studien var genomför som en flertalig fallstudie hos 3 organisationer; Jernhusen, Akademiska Hus och Specialfastigheter. Jernhusen överväger införandet av ett P2P system. Akademiska Hus och Specialfastigheter har infört ett P2P system. Genom att mäta användarnas acceptans hos Jernhusen utvärderades effekterna av införandet av ett P2P system ur ett teoretiskt perspektiv. Effekterna av ett P2P system och hur framgångsrik implementationen varit utvärderades vid Akademiska Hus och Specialfastigheter, och dessa effekter sattes i förhållande till användarnas acceptans innan införandet av systemet. Detta tillgängliggjorde data för att utvärdera till vilken grad användaracceptans är en förutsättning för en lyckad implementation av ett P2P system. Studien fann att användaracceptans hos Jernhusen, Akademiska Hus och Specialfastigheter var låg innan införandet av ett P2P system. Teorin föreslår att detta är dåliga förutsättningar för en framgångsrik implementation samt svårt att uppnå de önskade effekterna av systemet. Dock visade data från Akademiska Hus och Specialfastigheter att P2P systemen hade lett till de önskade effekterna trots den låga användaracceptans. Därmed drar studien slutsatsen att användaracceptans inte är ett avgörande förutsättning för en lyckad implementation av ett P2P system.
