Using data from a national survey conducted in the United States, we examined factors affecting tablet computer users' intention to purchase mobile applications, using an extended model based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. Participants were 316 tablet users, who completed measures of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, perceived enjoyment, perceived mobility, perceived interactivity, and purchase intention. The results suggested that expectations of the effort required and social influence helped to explain tablet computer users' intention to purchase mobile applications. Further, perceived enjoyment and perceived interactivity tended to increase intention to purchase tablet computer applications. These results imply that many tablet users perceive tablet computers as multimedia and entertainment devices.

This study analyzes the factors affecting the intention of using mobile applications (apps) for room-sharing in Vietnam. The research model is inherited and developed based on the unified theoretical model of technology acceptance and use (UTAUT2) by the specific conditions of Vietnam. The analysis results from 346 users show that the intention to use mobile apps for room-sharing services in Vietnam is influenced by expected benefits (i); expected effort (ii); social influence (iii), hedonic motivation (iv), trust (v), and perceived security (vi). Expected benefits, hedonic dynamics, and expected security have an important influence on the using intention among these factors; thus, application providers need a valuable solution to enhance the functionality of their applications on these aspects to meet the customers' increasing requirements.

Current Context

The purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting the intention of buying a townhouse by customers in District 9, Ho Chi Minh City. To conduct the research, there is 192 validrespondents and the authors determine six factors affecting the intention of buying customers' houses in District 9 of Ho Chi Minh City: developer brand, price, location, housing characteristics, social influence and legal. The results of the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) show that all of these six factors affect the intention to buy townhouses in the District 9 area of customers. The contribution of the study is that the authors confirm the theory of Ajzen and Fishbein (1975), Ajzen (1985), Ajzen (1991) and compare some empirical studies of Salah et al. (2015), Julius et al. (2016), Haddad et al. (2011), Nguyen (2013), Vo (2013), Vo (2016), Pham (2013). Also, from qualitative and research-related studies, the authors adjusted the scale and analyzed data in the current context. Based on that, research and propose solutions to improve the intention of buying houses in District 9 of customers and orienting for further research.

Total information and communication systems within hospitals have been designed, but successful complete implementation, to date, has not been achieved. Limited applications with both patient medical data, notably in the clinical laboratories, and in the hospital accounting offices have been numerous. Although total programs are not yet a reality, it is apparent that the computer will serve ultimately many communication requirements, both medical and financial, within the hospital.Sound hospital management requires that costs of all component operations be known in order that value judgments concerning worth and efficiency may be made. Accrual accounting systems which match revenue and expense over the same time period are a prerequisite. Cash and modified cash hospital accounting cannot provide current reliable data for sound decision making.Costs of hospital operations cannot be evaluated unless related to the characteristics of the patient service load. Average per diem costs mean little except when large similar populations of patients are being compared. A modern hospital accrual accounting system should be able to provide information concerning the costs of caring for specific diseases in patients with known age and sex and disease severity characteristics. Without information of this type, it will not be possible to objectively evaluate alternative systems of financing and organizing patient care.Medical record management offers the promise of prospective use of patient disease information in the planning and scheduling of facilities. The prose content of medical record summaries, such as diagnostic statements in tissue pathology, radiology, and admission and discharge diagnoses, may be susceptible to non-coded, full prose input into computer controlled diagnostic files. Thesauri in the several medical specialties will be necessary for this achievement.There is little immediate prospect for complete hospital communication systems that can be made available as a package to any hospital without substantial local alteration. Pilot projects in teaching centers should be viewed for the time being as opportunities to define objectives, evaluate feasibility, and determine degree of risk and expense.A brief survey of applications in the United States which have been successfully implemented or which appear suitable for successful implementation is recorded.Eleven general principles which have been associated with successful implementation of computer applications within the UCLA Hospital are enumerated.

The new phenomenon called sharing or collaborative consumption emerged a decade ago and is continuously growing. It creates new possibilities for society, and especially for business, is beneficial for the environment, makes more efficient use of resources, and presents a new competitive business model. The scientific literature lacks a more in-depth analysis of the factors influencing sharing activity growth; therefore, the paper’s authors attempt to fill this gap. The authors aim to identify the factors affecting the use of sharing platforms. To reach the goal, the authors developed a regression model and constructed a list of 71 variables. The study used monthly United States data from January 2017 to June 2020 from the publicly available Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED)and Google trends databases. The comparison to other indexes proves that the proposed index, representing the number of visits to sharing platforms (SEP), is a unique one. The first index allowed us to revise the sharing activity monthly. The authors identified that variables such as wage level, social network users, import level, and personal consumption are critical in affecting the number of visits to sharing platforms. The presented framework could be helpful for practitioners and policymakers analysing the stimulation of sharing or collaborative consumption. It includes indicators representing different areas, such as society, technology, and country, and allows for monthly investigations. Such activity was evident for a long time when online platforms contributed to its wider accessibility. The results help to forecast the number of visits monthly. Sharing is still an emerging area for research; thus, the authors tried to explore the phenomenon of sharing to expand the conceptual level of knowledge.
