Frugal Digitalization: A Systematic Literature Review

There is a massive growth in the use of digital technologies in businesses over these decades. However, most organizations lack the resources necessary for such an investment, particularly in developing countries. This context may be conducive to low-cost digitalization, which we named frugal digitalization. In this line, we conducted a systematic literature review using the PRISMA protocol to determine the scope of frugal digitalization in previous research. This protocol allowed us to include 13 articles. Results showed that some terms in the included articles reflect characteristics of an economic choice, while others are based on digital technology, and some cases emphasized the intersection of terms with economic and digital properties without any recommended theoretical definitions of this phenomenon which we called Frugal digitalization

Frugal Digitalization: An Exploratory Study of Determining Factors

International audienceThe frugal digitalization, i.e., the digitalization while consuming minimum resources, is taking attention. The aim of this study is to explore the factors that may affect frugal digitalization at the organizational level. After reviewing the literature, we found that the current theoretical corpus is insufficient to address our research topic, which gives our study its exploratory nature. Therefore, we interviewed 23 experts, and content analysis is applied to analyze the gathered data. As a result, a research model is explored that combines the innovation characteristics of frugal digitalization from Diffusion of Innovation (Rogers 2003) with the technology, organization, and environment contexts (Tornatzky et al. 1990) of the organization that underline the adoption of frugal digitalization. Cost, expectations, relative advantage, and compatibility are the technological factors. The organizational factors include top management engagement, the organizational structure, resource optimization, the cultural aspect, marketing, the lack of resources, and sustainability. The environmental factors are government support and the digital divide. These findings contribute to both theoretical and practical areas. The study fills a theoretical gap in the literature; it explores a model that, combining two theoretical perspectives, helps to explain the factors of frugal digitalization. At a practical level, this research might serve as a guide for businesses interested in investing in frugal digitalization

Frugal Digitalization: "outline of definition"

International audienceThe aim of this study is to provide a definition of frugal digitalization based on a design methodological approach consisting of four stages. First, we conducted a literature review of 18 works on frugality and 17 works on digitalization. In fact, we obtained 16 definitions of "frugality" and 14 of "digitalization." From these definitions, we identified potential attributes of each term. Next, we organized the attributes of frugality into three underlying themes and those of digitalization into five underlying themes. After that, the themes of frugality and digitalization were used at their junction to propose a preliminary definition of frugal digitalization. Finally, to make the preliminary definition clear and easy to understand, we refined it

Treatment of Tuna Cooking Juice via Ceramic Ultrafiltration Membrane: Optimization Using Response Surface Methodology

In the present work, optimized ultrafiltration conditions, using a ceramic multi tubular titania membrane (150 KDa), were investigated for the treatment of tuna cooking juice, for water reuse in the industrial process. The interactive effects of the volume concentrating factor (VCF) (1.03–4.25), feed temperature (T) (20–60 °C), and applied transmembrane pressure (ΔP) (2–5 bar) on protein removal (R protein) and permeate flux (J) were determined. A Box–Behnken experimental design (BBD) with the response surface methodology (RSM) was used for statistical analysis, modeling, and optimization of the operating conditions. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) results proved that the protein removal and permeate flux were significant and represented good correlation coefficients of 0.9859 and 0.9294, respectively. Mathematical modeling showed that the best conditions were VCF = 1.5 and a feed temperature of 60 °C, under a transmembrane pressure of 5 bar. The fouling mechanism was checked by applying a polarization concentration model. Determination of the gel concentration confirmed the results found in the mass balance calculation and proved that the VCF must not exceed 1.5. The membrane regeneration efficiency was proven by determining the water permeability after the chemical cleaning process

Evaluation of TiO2/smectite nanoparticles as an alternative low-cost adsorbent for chromium removal from industrial wastewater

International audienceIn this work, chromium removal efficiency from electroplating industry wastewater was studied by adsorption using TiO2/smectite nanoparticles (NP) synthesized by modification of natural smectite by colloidal route. The effect on chromium adsorption of adsorbent dose, pH, contact time, temperature and initial concentration was then determined in batch system. Chromium concentration can be reduced to 24 mg/L (70%) under the experimental condition (pH = 2.9, adsorbent dose = 1.6 g/L, contact time = 75 min, T = 298 K and C 0 = 80 mg/L) when initial chromium concentration of 80 mg/L is employed. The chromium adsorption on NP was described by the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum chromium adsorption capacity was found as 35 mg/g. Kinetics data were best described by the pseudo-second-order model. The thermodynamic studies proved that the adsorption was exothermic and spontaneous
