Phish me if you can: insights from an eye-tracking experiment

PHISHING E-MAILS CONTINUE TO POSE A TOP THREAT TO AN ORGANIZATION’S INFORMATION SECURITY. DESPITE TECHNICAL ADVANCES, THE BURDEN OF DETECTING AND DEALING WITH THEM ULTIMATELY REMAINS ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE. THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS RESULTS OF A MULTI-METHOD PHISHING EXPERIMENT INCLUDING THE USE OF AN EYE-TRACKING DEVICE TO ASSESS EMPLOYEES’ ACTUAL AWARENESS OF PHISHING AND INFLUENCING FACTORS. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS FOR SECURITY TRAININGS ARE ALSO DISCUSSED

The impact of purpose transfer for mobile IS use: Insights of an empirical study

Information systems (IS) are being used to fulfill users’ purposes. These purposes can include both the help for job tasks as well as fun and entertainment for the individual in his private life. Prior IS adoption research primarily focused on these purposes and observed their impact on individuals’ attitudes. With the increasing diffusion of mobile IS, such as tablet computers and smartphones, for communicating and gathering data independently of an individual’s location, an additional theoretical construct gathers importance for the IS adoption process; how fast this purpose is transferred to the user based on the individual’s perception. In order to observe the importance of the purpose transfer as well as its impact for an individual’s attitude toward using mobile IS, we conducted an empirical study with 97 mobile IS users. The results show that individuals’ attitude towards mobile IS is not only driven by the actual purpose in terms of hedonism and utilitarism but also by how fast the purpose is transferred to the individual. The results also reveal a dominant role of purpose transfer for the shaping of different antecedents for attitude in a way that those users who perceive a fast transfer of the aimed purpose both perceive mobile IS as more useful and enjoyable to use. Based on the results of our study, implications for future research on the adoption of mobile IS and the focal role of purpose transfer are provided

Breast shield design impacts milk removal dynamics during pumping: a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial.

INTRODUCTION While many studies have investigated the importance of optimising pumping patterns for milk removal, the influence of breast shield design on milk removal has not been the focus of extensive investigation. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of breast shields with either a 105° or a 90° flange opening angle on breast drainage and milk volume expressed during pumping. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was a cross-over, randomised controlled non-inferiority trial (Registration; NCT03091985). Mothers (n=49) of breastfeeding infants participated in the study over two study sessions. Participants were randomly assigned to pump both breasts simultaneously for 15 minutes with either the 105° or 90° breast shield in the first session, and the other shield in the second session. Effectiveness (breast drainage) and efficiency (volume expressed) of both breast shields were assessed after 15 minutes of pumping. Intention-to-treat and per protocol analyses were performed to determine if the 105° breast shield was non-inferior to the 90° breast shield for breast drainage and volume expressed. Perceived comfort was assessed via questionnaire. RESULTS The 105° breast shield was both non-inferior and superior compared to the standard 90° shield for breast drainage (intention-to-treat, 3.87% (0.01 - 7.72), p=.049) and volume expressed (intention-to-treat, 9.14 mL (1.37 - 16.91), p=.02). In addition, the 105° shield was rated as feeling more comfortable (p<.001) and as having an improved fit to the breast (p<.001) compared to the 90° shield. CONCLUSIONS Expressing with the 105° breast shield was more efficient, effective and comfortable compared to the 90° shield. Breast shield design can significantly impact pumping outcomes, and an opening angle of 105° improves both the dynamics and comfort of milk removal
