The current research comprises sample of 401 users working in education sector. The research model is evaluated by applying structural equation modelling. Findings revealed that expectation confirmation theory, brand-awareness facets and flow theory are positively associated to user satisfaction. Similarly, the user satisfaction is positively associated to the continuance intention to use m-shopping apps. This research has revealed substantial explanatory power of 82.6% towards continue use of m-shopping applications. Furthermore, analysis of the importance performance matrix shows that satisfaction and expectation-confirmation are the most essential elements in determining user intentions to continue using m-shopping apps. This research is unique as it combines factors underpinned flow theory, brand facets and expectation confirmation model to investigate user continuance behaviour to use m-shopping apps.

To address this problem, we propose an extension of an already existent solution to gamify software development practitioners' work to make the time reporting task more engaging for employees. This solution was built upon the Jira core mechanism for time tracking and evaluated with a team of five employees in a Portuguese small consultancy group. Results showed meaningful improvements in this team's practices, particularly for one employee, but these changes must be validated with the team to understand if they occurred due to the gamification solution or due to other external factors. In the future, the solution will be improved based on these findings and evaluated with the same and other teams.

Digital inbound marketing was conceptualised in terms of digital content marketing, search engine marketing and social media marketing. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed to a convenience sample of online customers. IBM SPSS 25.0 AMOS 22.0 software was used to perform data analysis. The results pointed out that there were significant effects of the three components of digital inbound marketing on digital performance marketing. In conclusion, for organisations to boost their digital marketing performance, an integrated use of digital inbound marketing components should be followed.

All these aspects were analysed through literature review and were further developed by two methodologies: online questionnaire and interviews. The online questionnaire concluded that, while artificial intelligence's characteristics and impacts positively influence its implementation in customer segmentation, this type of technology still has limitations that could constitute an obstacle. Regarding the interviews, the main insight was that artificial intelligence is still only perceived as a support in decision making, thus, dependent on humans. However, many employees still look at these technologies as a threat to their workplace, which can lead to resistance in their implementation and incur on unnecessary costs for organisations.

However, diagnosing an infected individual is problematic, as some people present no symptoms but are infected with COVID-19. Identification gets more complex when an individual has a high level of immunity but is infected with COVID-19. This issue has significant effects for the elderly and those suffering from deadly conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and thyroid. This study presents a procedure and a patient detection architect for a digital medium system that would connect health workers and citizens and aid in protecting patients, ourselves, our families, society, and the community.

Hence, this study is motivated by the need to examine the TMT-FP relationship in the context of listed firms in Oman and Saudi Arabia. The study also aims to test remuneration in light of its moderating effect on the above relationship. Data was collected from the companies' annual report for the years from 2014 to 2019, and was analysed with the help of ordinary least squares (OLS). The findings showed that TMT experience in accounting and finance positively and significantly. Remuneration was also found to have a moderating positive effect on the relationship between professional certificate of TMT and FP. The findings further indicated that remuneration positively and significantly moderated the relationship between TMT foreign member and FP. Further test found TMTSCORE positively associated with performance.
