Individuals make increasingly more decisions on screens, such as those on websites or mobile apps. However, the nature of screens and the vast amount of information available online make individuals particularly prone to deficient decisions. Digital nudging is an approach based on insights from behavioral economics that applies user interface (UI) design elements to affect the choices of users ...

The information society must be considered, above all, a society composed by people. For that reason, a social priority for the information society development should be centered in the acquisition of knowledge. To be included in the digital literacy means to have the technological capabilities that allow a person surviving in the information society. We try to offer real examples for the devel...

2 Manufacturing companies have historically had an on-off relation with technology. Most have aggressively adopted traditional technologies such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). However, they have been slow in adopting recent digital technologies such as big data analytics, real-time order confirmation, Web-EDI among others. Moreover, most have adopted technologies to varying extent creat...

Digital inclusive finance has a great impact on reducing the cost of financial services, providing convenient alleviating poverty and other aspects. From perspective China's national level, it can also significantly narrow income gap between urban rural residents. However, few papers set research objects digital as prefecture-level cities in Sichuan Province, China. This paper uses panel data 1...

We introduce a general diagrammatic theory of digital circuits, based on connections between monoidal categories and graph rewriting. The main achievement of the paper is conceptual, filling a foundational gap in reasoning syntactically and symbolically about a large class of digital circuits (discrete values, discrete delays, feedback). This complements the dominant approach to circuit modelli...

Today our lives are filled with technology through which we communicate, work, play and even engage with for making meaning. This implies the pervasive presence of digital media as an integral part of our everyday life. Although studies on media are mostly done by sociology and communication students, living in a digital age has significant implications for theological reflections. Despite this...

Digital Libraries in particular, and Information Systems in general, engender no consensus regarding theoretical foundations. In the trivial case, all information systems can be modeled mathematically as sets of information paired with the functions that operate on that information. Using the abstractions Streams, Spaces, Structures, and Scenarios (S4), we bridge the stark gap between the mathe...

Formal digital credit raises hopes to decrease the gender gap in financial inclusion. However, up until now, it remains unknown whether these are justified. Using nationally representative household surveys from Kenya, present study aims fill this gap. We find strong indication that formal credit, contrasting expectations, has led an increase further pervasive market is largely attributable dif...
