The processes of the global economic crisis and its effects affecting the whole life of the State, including the tax system, require examination of their influence on changes in tax culture. To justify the importance of tax culture research, analysis of links between taxes and culture and the tax system from philosophical, social-cultural and theological aspects are presented in the dissertation. The dissertation presents the systematic analysis of the conception and preconditions for formation of the tax culture, specifies conception of the tax culture, and identifies factors affecting the tax culture. Assumptions concerning assessment of tax culture have been validated by assessing how factors determining the tax culture are reflected in macroeconomic indicators, by means of taxpayer opinion survey for specification of the conception of tax culture and for determination of the key factors determining it. The four stages are included into the systematic Tax Culture Assessment Model, which encompasses specification and systematization of factors affecting the tax culture, identification of the most important factors, selection and justification of the indicators reflecting those factors, development and validation of the mathematical model for assessment of the tax culture, and substantiation of universality of the Tax Culture Assessment Model. This model reflects assessment of the tax culture as a synthesis of attitudes and behavior. The developed model was validated on the...

Full textAbstract:
E-tax is an important function of e-government since it is highly related to the life of citizens (Wu & Chen, 2005). So in this paper I have discussed the factors influence the citizen adoption of government e-tax service. I have used the decomposed TPB model as my research model. This model integrated two important theories – TAM model and TPB model. The taxpayers were divided into adopters who have used the e-tax service and non-adopter who has used the conventional method to pay their tax. And the effect of these factors for adopters and non-adopters are different. Therefore, understand the factors’ effect can help governments formulate the corresponding measures to promote more citizens to use the e-tax service and lead to better planning and implementation of e-tax service.

A survey conducted by the United Nations in 2016 endorses this fact, showing a high rate of technological development with respect to e-government. However, the same publication showed the low rate of citizen participation about it. These results show how, although there are many government technological services, these do not focus on the citizen or in their active participation, but mainly on technological development. In the present study, an adoption model is proposed, extending the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) incorporating public value, specifically environmental sustainability, as an external variable. The validation of the proposal was made through a validated survey with experts in the environmental field and applied to citizens of the Peruvian capital. Our results show that environmental sustainability is a factor that positively affects the adoption of e-government in Peru and that should be considered by the authorities as an enhancer of citizen participation about it.

Full textAbstract:
[EN] In medicine, the diagnosis based on computed tomography (CT) imaging is fundamental for the detection of abnormal tissues by different attenuation values on X-ray energy, which frequently are not clearly distinguished for the radiologist. Different methods have been developed to reconstruct images. In this work we analyse and compare analytical and iterative methods to resolve the reconstruction problem.
Today, in practice, the reconstruction process is based on analytical methods and one of the most widely used algorithms is known as Filtered back projections (FBP) algorithm. This algorithm implements the inverse Radon Transform, which is a mathematical tool used in Biomedical Engineering for the reconstruction of CT images.
From the very beginning of the development of scanners, it was important to reduce the scanning time, to improve the quality of images and to reduce the reconstruction time of images. Today's technology provides powerful systems, multiprocessor and multicore processor systems, that provide the possibility to reduce the reconstruction time.
In this work, we analyze the FBP based on the inverse Radon Transform and its relation to the Fourier Transform, with the aim to achieve better performance while using resources of a system in an optimal way. This algorithm uses parallel projections, is simple, robust, and the results could be extended for a variety of situations.
In many applications, the set of projection data needed for the reconstruction, is incomplete due to the physical reasons. Consequently, it is possible to achieve only approximated reconstruction. In this conditions, the images reconstructed with analytical methods have a lot of artefacts in two and three dimensions.
Iterative methods are more suitable for the reconstruction from a limited number of projections in noisy conditions. Their usage may be important for the functionality of portable scanners in emergency situations. However, in practice, these methods are less used due to their high computational cost. In this work, the reduction of the execution time is achieved by performing the parallel implementation on multi-core and many-core systems of such iterative algorithms as SART, MLEM and LSQR.
The iterative methods have become a hot topic of interest because of their capacity to resolve the reconstruction problem from a limited number of projections. This allows the possibility to reduce the radiation dose during the data acquisition process. At the same time, in the reconstructed images appear undesired artefacts.
To resolve the problem effectively, we have adopted the LSQR method with soft threshold filtering technique and the fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm for computed tomography imaging and present the efficiency of the method named LSQR-STF-FISTA.
The reconstruction methods are analysed through the reconstructions from simulated and real projection data. Also, the quality of the reconstructed images is compared with the aim of drawing conclusions regarding the studied methods.
We conclude from this study that iterative methods are capable to reconstruct images from a limited number of dataset at a low computational cost.[ES] En medicina, el diagnóstico basado en imágenes de tomografía axial computerizada (TAC) es fundamental para la determinación de anormalidades a través de diferentes valores de atenuación de la energía de rayos-X, las cuales, frecuentemente, son difíciles de ser distinguidas por los radiólogos. Se han desarrollado diferentes técnicas de reconstrucción de imagen. En este trabajo analizamos y comparamos métodos analíticos e iterativos para resolver de forma eficiente el problema de reconstrucción. Hoy, en la práctica, el proceso de reconstrucción de imagen se basa en algoritmos analíticos entre los cuales, el algoritmo de retroproyección filtrada 'filtered backprojection' (FBP) es el más conocido. Este algoritmo se usa para implementar la Transformada de Radon inversa que es una herramienta matemática cuya utilización principal en Ingeniería Biomédica es la reconstrucción de imágenes TAC. Desde el comienzo del desarrollo de escáneres ha sido importante reducir el tiempo de escaneo, mejorar la calidad de imagen y reducir el tiempo de reconstrucción. La tecnología de hoy ofrece potentes sistemas con varios procesadores y núcleos que posibilitan reducir el tiempo invertido en la reconstrucción de imágenes. En este trabajo se analiza el algoritmo FBP basado en la Transformada de Radon inversa y su relación con la Transformada de Fourier con el objetivo de optimizar su cálculo aprovechando al máximo los recursos del sistema. Este algoritmo se basa en proyecciones paralelas y se destaca por su simplicidad y robustez, y permite extender los resultados a una variedad de situaciones. En muchas aplicaciones el conjunto de proyecciones necesarias para la reconstrucción puede ser incompleto por razones físicas. Entonces, la única posibilidad es realizar una reconstrucción aproximada. En estas condiciones, las imágenes reconstruidas por los algoritmos analíticos en dos o tres dimensiones son de baja calidad y con muchos artefactos. Los métodos iterativos son más adecuados para la reconstrucción de imágenes cuando se dispone de un menor número de proyecciones en condiciones más ruidosas. Su uso puede ser importante para el funcionamiento en escáneres portátiles en condiciones de urgencia en cualquier lugar. Sin embargo, en la práctica, estos métodos son menos usados por su alto coste computacional. En este trabajo presentamos el estudio y diversas implementaciones paralelas que permiten bajar el coste computacional de tales métodos iterativos como SART, MLEM y LSQR. Los métodos iterativos se han convertido en un tópico de gran interés para muchos vendedores de sistemas de TAC clínicos por su capacidad de resolver el problema de reconstrucción con un número limitado de proyecciones. Esto proporciona la posibilidad de reducir la dosis radiactiva en los pacientes durante el proceso de adquisición de datos. Al mismo tiempo, en la reconstrucción aparecen artefactos no deseados. Para resolver el problema en forma efectiva y eficiente, hemos adaptado el método LSQR con el método de filtrado 'Soft Threshold Filtering' y el algoritmo de aceleración 'Fast Iterative Shrinkage-thresholding Algorithm' para TAC.

Los métodos de reconstrucción de imágenes se analizan mediante la reconstrucción a partir de proyecciones simuladas y reales, comparando la calidad de imagen reconstruida con el objetivo de obtener conclusiones respecto a los métodos usados. Basándose en este estudio, concluimos que los métodos iterativos son capaces de reconstruir imágenes con el conjunto limitado de proyecciones con un bajo coste computacional.

S'han desenvolupat diferents tècniques de reconstrucció d'imatge. En aquest treball analitzem i comparem mètodes analítics i iteratius per a resoldre el problema de reconstrucció.

La tecnologia d'avui ofereix potents sistemes amb diversos processadors i nuclis que possibiliten reduir el temps invertit en la reconstrucció d'imatges. En aquest treball s'analitza l'algorisme FBP basat en la Transformada de Radon inversa i la seua relació amb la Transformada de Fourier amb l'objectiu d'optimitzar el seu càlcul aprofitant al màxim els recursos del sistema. Aquest algorisme es basa en projeccions paral·leles i es destaca per la seua simplicitat i robustesa, i permet estendre els resultats a una varietat de situacions. En moltes aplicacions el conjunt de projeccions necessàries per a la reconstrucció pot ser incomplet per raons físiques. Llavors, l'única possibilitat és realitzar una reconstrucció aproximada. En aquestes condicions, les imatges reconstruïdes pels algorismes analítics en dues o tres dimensions són de baixa qualitat i amb molts artefactes. Els mètodes iteratius són més adequats per a la reconstrucció d'imatges quan es disposa d'un menor nombre de projeccions en condicions més sorolloses. El seu ús pot ser important per al funcionament en escáneres portàtils en condicions d'urgència en qualsevol lloc. No obstant açò, en la pràctica, aquests mètodes són menys usats pel seu alt cost computacional. En aquest treball presentem l'estudi i diverses implementacions paral·leles que permeten baixar el cost computacional de tals mètodes iteratius com SART, MLEM i LSQR.

Els mètodes de reconstrucció d'imatges s'analitzen mitjançant la reconstrucció a partir de projeccions simulades i reals, comparant la qualitat d'imatge reconstruïda amb l'objectiu d'obtenir conclusions respecte als mètodes usats. Basant-se en aquest estudi, concloem que els mètodes iteratius són capaços de reconstruir imatges amb el conjunt limitat de projeccions amb un baix cost computacional.

"As the delivery of healthcare has become more sophisticated, scientific, and complex, the need for HIM (Health Information Management) professionals at all levels has increased, and the role and status of those managing these functions has increased accordingly." (AHIMA, September 24, 2007). Studies by the Institute of Medicine and others have found suboptimal technology use throughout the healthcare industry. The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) developed the e-HIM Virtual Lab (V-lab) to train students in the use of new technology applications in response to IOM findings. Faculty are the gatekeepers for use of instructional technology in educational settings. Many disciplines have evaluated instructional technology use by students. There are very few studies on faculty use of instructional technology. There are no published studies of the determinant factors influencing health information management (HIM) faculty use of instructional technology. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the faculty's attitude and behavior toward the use of the V-lab instructional technology. A non-random one group pretest posttest design was used to test the hypothetical Instructional Perception -Technology Acceptance Model (IP- TAM) for faculty perceptions regarding system functionality, usability and technology acceptance. The Path Analysis determined the strongest construct indicators for intent to use the V-lab were Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease Of Use (PEOU), System Functionality and Usability (SFU). These findings support the recommendation for a collaborative examination of the existing V-lab systems to improve utilization and success.Ph.D.

Purpose: Low citizen adoption rates jeopardize the success and proliferation of e-government systems. This study aims to understand how the perception of environmental sustainability (ES) can influence a citizen’s intention to use e-government systems. Design/methodology/approach: In a case study in Peru, the technology acceptance model (TAM) adoption model is extended with the construct of ES and evaluated with structural equation modeling. An 18-element, in-person survey was constructed and administered to citizens of Lima, Peru who had prior exposure to e-government systems. Findings: The results show that citizens can be positively influenced to adopt e-government systems if they perceive that doing so will contribute to ES. Research limitations/implications: As this was a preliminary study, further research should focus on specific, as opposed to general, e-government systems, as well as encompassing a broader cross section of the population. Practical implications: Administrators of e-government initiatives can consider public-interest factors, alongside of the common self-interest factors, when looking to improve adoption rates of e-government systems. Originality/value: This is the first time that TAM has been extended with the construct of ES.

Linear induction motors are applied in equipments with different requirements set up to the controlled motion parameters. Investigation of motoring and breaking modes remains the relevant problem nowadays. The scientific novelty is based on analysis of non-symmetrical operation modes of linear induction motor at supplying it by a voltage source, developing a generalized model of motoring and breaking dynamic modes and analyzing influence of linear motor windings connection way and control parameters on dynamic breaking characteristics. The coordinate transformations of linear induction motors dynamic models, based on rotational motor with assumptions valid for low speed motor and multi-pole motor, are considered. Mathematical and computer models to investigate symmetrical dynamic modes of linear induction drives are presented. Generalized model to investigate non-symmetrical dynamics modes is elaborated. The results of simulation are presented by dependences on the main variables in the time domain, and dependences on both constructional and control parameters that give possibility to optimize constructional parameters of motors.

Unter der Einbeziehung des Technology-Acceptance-Models (TAM) und dem Uses-and-Gratification Ansatzes werden Nutzungsmotive aus dem Forschungsstand herausgearbeitet und empirisch getestet (Studierende der TU Dresden, n=1242). Studierende nutzen demnach Anwendungen für das Studium, die sie auch schon im alltäglichen Leben verwenden. Besonders im Bereich der Zusammenarbeit sowie zur Kontaktaufnahme zu Kommilitonen werden Anwendungen aus der Freizeit genutzt. Unverzichtbar für das Studium ist für die meisten Studierenden die Nutzung des Lernmanagementsystems, welche zumeist von Dozenten vorgeschrieben ist. Nur so ist es den Studierenden möglich, auf bestimmte Lerninhalte, die für das Bestehen des Studiums notwendig sind, zuzugreifen. Die Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Beforschung des Mediennutzungsverhalten von Studierenden.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine if the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) could explain the relationship between teacher's acceptance of an online teacher professional development course and their continuance intentions regarding online teacher professional development (oTPD). This study focused on the perceptions of the teachers as opposed to the design or implementation of oTPD. The participants (N=517) were mostly teachers (88.8%) enrolled in a statewide online course to provide classroom teachers with the latest knowledge of research-based instructional reading strategies. The course was offered over a 10-14 week period during the Spring 2006 semester through a public state university. Structural equation modeling was used to create a path analytic model extending the TAM to include two additional constructs: sociability and social presence. In addition, gains in instructional reading strategies knowledge (performance) were examined. Using this expanded version of the TAM, the study examined the causal relationships between sociability, social presence, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, continuance intention, and gains. Online distance education research has indicated that social presence can influence post-secondary students' attitude and persistence within a web-based course. However a paucity of research exists on how technology acceptance and social presence impacts teachers within an online teacher professional development setting. Path analysis, univariate analysis of variance, and independent t-tests in SPSS v12.0 for Windows were used to analyze the data. The results suggest that the hypothesized extended model was a good fit. The model did indicate that both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness were determinants of teachers' intent to continue using oTPD for future professional development needs.Ph.D.

Full textAbstract:
The Nigeria economy is wholly dependent on revenue from oil. However, bitumen has been discovered in
the country since 1903 and has remained untapped over the years. The need for the country to
complement oil exploration with the huge bitumen deposit cannot be overemphasized. This will help to
improve the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and revenue available to government. Bitumen is
classifled as heavy crude with API (American petroleum Institute) number ranging between 50 and 110
and occurs in Nigeria, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela etc from which petroleum products could be
derived.
This dissertation looked at the Canadian experience by comparing the oil and tar sand deposit found in Canada with particular reference to Athabasca (Grosmont, Wabiskaw McMurray and Nsiku) with
that in Nigeria with a view of transferring process technology from Canada to Nigeria. The Nigeria and Athabasca tar sands occur in the same type of environment. These are the deltaic, fluvial marine deposit in an incised valley with similar reservoir, chemical and physical properties. However, the Nigeria tar sand is more asphaltenic and also contains more resin and as such will yield more product volume during
hydro cracking albeit more acidic. The differences in the components (viscosity, resin and asphaltenes
contents, sulphur and heavy metal contents) of the tar sands is within the limit of technology adaptation.
Any of the technologies used in Athabasca, Canada is adaptable to Nigeria according to the findings of this research.
The techno-economics of some of the process technologies are. x-rayed using the PTAC (petroleum
technology alliance Canada) technology recovery model in order to obtain their unit cost for Nigeria
bitumen. The unit cost of processed bitumen adopting steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), in situ
combustion (ISC) and cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) process technology is 40.59, 25.00 and 44.14
Canadian dollars respectively. The unit cost in Canada using the same process technology is 57.27, 25.00
and 61.33 Canadian dollars respectively. The unit cost in Nigeria is substantively lesser than in Canada.
A trade off is thereafter done using life cycle costing so as to select the best process technology for the
Nigeria oil/tar sands. The net present value/internal rate of return is found to be B$3,062/36.35% for
steam assisted gravity drainage, B$I,570124.51 % for cyclic steam stimulation and B$3,503/39.64% for in
situ combustion. Though in situ combustion returned the highest net present value and internal rate of
return, it proved not to be the best option for Nigeria due to environmental concern and response time to
production. The best viable option for the Nigeria tar sand was then deemed to be steam assisted gravity
drainage.
An integrated oil strategy coupled with cogeneration using MSAR was also seen to considerably amplify
the benefits accruable from bitumen exploration; therefore, an investment in bitumen exploration in
Nigeria is a wise economic decision.Thesis (M.Ing. (Development and Management))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2010.

Full textAbstract:
E-handels snabba utveckling det senaste årtiondet har öppnat upp nya möjligheter för både företag och konsumenter och det har gjort att betalsätten förändrats. I takt med den tekniska utveckling som skett har även konsumenters intentioner och uppfattningar förändrats och faktorer som användbarhet, användarvänlighet, tillit och risk är starkt kopplat till köpbeteende online. De två vanligaste betalsätten för svenska e-handels konsumenter idag är bankkort/kreditkort och faktura. Studiens syfte var att undersöka svenska konsumenters intention och uppfattning av betalningssätten kort och faktura samt situationer med fler betalningsalternativ vid handel online. Till vår hjälp har den teknologiska acceptansmodellen (TAM) används tillsammans Pavlous (2003) e-handels modell för att se om faktorerna de fann också påverkade svenska konsumenter. En enkät togs fram med fokus på tre delar, 1) bankkort/kreditkort, 2) faktura och 3) flera betalsätt. Den insamlade data analyserades med hjälp av SPSS och resultatet visade att faktorn som hade störst påverkan var användbarhet. För betalsätten bankkort/kreditkort och när flera alternativ listades visade analysen att faktorn risk inte påverkade intentionen till att använda betalsätten. Faktura var det betalsätt som upplevdes som minst riskfyllt bland respondenterna. Resultatet visade också att trots bankkort/kreditkort har en högre risk, är de flesta benägna att använda det betalsättet vid nästa köp kontra faktura, som hade en lägre risk vilket kan förklaras att bankkort/kreditkort är det betalsätt i Sverige som används mest.The rapid development of E-commerce over the past decade has opened up new opportunities for both businesses and consumers, and this has changed the payment methods. In line with the technological development that has taken place, consumers' intentions and perceptions have also changed and factors such as usability, ease of use, trust and risk are strongly linked to online purchasing behavior. The two most common payment methods for Swedish e-commerce consumers today are bank cards / credit cards and invoices. The purpose of this study was to examine the intention and perception of payment methods, cards and invoice of Swedish consumers, as well as situations with more payment options when shopping online. To our aid, the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) has been used together with Pavlous (2003) e-commerce model to see if the factors they found also affected Swedish consumers. A questionnaire was developed focusing on three parts, 1) bank card / credit card, 2) invoice and 3) several payment methods. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS and the results showed that the factor that had the greatest impact was usability. For the payment methods bank card / credit card and when several options were listed, the analysis showed that the risk factor did not affect the intention to use the payment methods. Invoice was the payment method that was perceived as least risky among the respondents. The result also showed that although bank cards / credit cards have a higher risk, most people are inclined to use the payment method in the next purchase, as opposed to invoice, which had a lower risk which can be explained by bank card / credit card being the most used payment method in Sweden.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether the concept of permanent establishment, as defined in Article 5 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and Capital, is applicable to electronic commerce and if so whether the current definition is able to appropriately deal with the challenges of electronic commerce.
In 2003, the OECD added a new section to the Commentary on the Model Tax Convention on Article 5. The new section is a clarification on the application of the permanent establishment definition in electronic commerce.
The current definition of permanent establishment in the Model Tax Convention relies on the physical presence of a foreign corporation as the threshold for source taxation. While the current definition, prima facie, might be applicable on electronic commerce, the highly mobile nature of electronic commerce might affect the current revenue distribution equilibrium between states.

Full textAbstract:
A large amount of research has been conducted in order to seek explanations that clarify e-commerce acceptance throughout the world; however, there is a gap in the research as to how e-commerce acceptance is attributable to national culture. Two previous studies (Yoon, 2009), (Capece, et al., 2013) used Hofstede’s five dimensions of national culture in conjunction with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a means to filling this gap with perspectives on low-acceptance populations (China in 2008 and Italy in 2013). The study presented in this paper is a continuation of the previous work, offering a perspective on a high-acceptance population (Sweden). The main research question is about investigating how Swedish e-commerce acceptance is related to national culture, and the answer is sought by probing on the Swedish perspective of e-commerce in the light of the TAM, e-commerce trust, and Hofstede’s five dimensions of national culture in an online survey. The data is analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), and compared to the findings of the Chinese and Italian precursors. Furthermore, an attempt is made to explain the contrast between the comparably high e-commerce acceptance in Sweden to the lower degrees of acceptance in China and Italy.

Full textAbstract:
The growing popularity of the internet and its activities have opened a wide range of business opportunities especially in terms of e-business. Though, reports show that the adoption rate of e-commerce in developed countries seem to be striving, a lot of developing countries still struggle with slow e-commerce adoption rate. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is one these countries where e-commerce adoption is still in its infant stages. However, because of the recent infrastructure improvements and the growth in telecommunication services in the country, internet penetration, more specifically, mobile Internet penetration is growing at a significantly fast pace. This could mean opportunities for e-business services in DRC.
The objective of this research is to investigate the factors that could influence online shopping adoption in DRC. This investigation was carried out by adapting an extended version of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A quantitative approach was used in the collection of data and the data was edited and analyzed using the programming language, R. Also, the analytical techniques used in conducting this research include: Descriptive Statistical Methods (Cross tabulation, frequencies) and inferential Statistical Methods (Logistic Regression, ANOVA and Chi square tests).
The results from this research show that contrary to the conceptualized model in the literature review where the main constructs included: Perceived Ease of Use(PEOU), Perceived Usefulness(PU) and Perceived Trust(PT), it appears that Perceived Ease of Use(PEOU) does not have any significance in a user’s intention to shop online(p>0.01). However, this research found that Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Trust have a strong statistical significance to a user’s intention to shop online. Furthermore, we found that Gender, Income and Age do not have any moderating influence on the relationship between a user’s perception and their intention to shop online in DRC. However, when the relationship between
VI
perception and intention to shop online is moderated by experience, we find that there is a variation between users with prior online shopping experience and those without.
While these research findings make for remarkable recommendations on a user’s intention to shop online, we recommend that further research on actual usage of e-commerce be examined in DRC to get a better understanding of consumer online behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
The need for online banking technology in the banking industry is important to allow financial institutions to serve their customers worldwide, without having the need to be present in person or face-to-face to benefit from the service. Despite the investment in informational technology and information system infrastructure by Saudi Arabian financial institutions, the Saudi banks have lagged their Western counterparts when it comes to provision of online banking services. Given a relatively recent adoption of online banking in Saudi Arabia, consumer trust in online banking is a critical challenge facing bank managers, warranting further research. The aim of this research is to develop a framework to improve consumer trust toward online banking services and its affect consumer intentions to use the online banking service and e-WOM. The literature included the assessment of relevant theories including social cognitive theory, technology acceptance model and commitment trust theory. These theories formed the basis of formulation of research framework, including development of 12 research hypotheses. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, relationship termination cost, shared value, communication, privacy and demographic factors all have an important role in influencing the extent of trust and the subsequent intention of customers to engage in and use online banking services provided by the financial institutions. When it comes to the literature gap, there remains a relative lack of existence of research on the subject of consumer trust in online banking within Saudi Arabia (Zhou, 2012; Alanezi and Brooks, 2014; AL-Malkawi et al., 2016), which presents a gap in the literature warranting further research. Moreover, most of the prior research on the subject of consumer trust in online banking has concentrated on the information cues such as reputation and information quality (Montazemi and Qahri-Saremi, 2015). This is alongside relatively little attention given to other factors such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, shared value, and privacy/security, which are crucial factors in online banking services (Fatima, 2011; Aloul., 2012; Montazemi and Qahri-Saremi, 2015). Regarding methodology, the positivist research philosophy, deductive approach, survey questionnaire and quantitative data collection and analysis techniques were undertaken. A key rationale for selection of such a methodology is the review of relevant literature, which led to development of research hypotheses that are tested through the survey technique, which is consistent with positivist and deductive research approach. The survey questionnaire request was sent online to 800 research participants (users of online services in Saudi Arabia). Out of these 800, 585 responded (indicating a response rate of an impressive 73%). The response rate was improved through giving regular reminders to the research participants who had not responded to the survey earlier. The findings of this research support the argument that trust in e-bank website play an important role in maintaining long term relationship with customers. Therefore, online banks who deal with their customers in a confidential, transparent and honest manner and ultimately protect the consumers' interests are likely to contribute to greater adoption of online banking by customers in Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, it is also concluded that perceived ease of use, trust in online banking website, trust in technology, relationship termination cost, privacy/security, shared value, and communication have positive and significant effect on customer trust in e-bank website, intention to use online banking, and e-WOM.

In this study, the research model based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) (DAVIS et al., 1989) and innovation diffusion theory (IDT) (ROGERS, 2003) was used to analyze the relation between the characteristics of innovation and teacher s behavior in the process of adoption and use of Moodle in the undergraduate courses at distance. Survey was applied with 162 teachers at distance of Universidade Federal da Paraíba Virtual, issue focusing on the perceived characteristics of innovation, attitude and intention about the use of Moodle. Multivariate statistical techniques were performed: 1) content-vality to analyze the complete structure of scale for relevance and representativeness of items and to verify which items refer to construct in question; 2) exploratory factory analysis to know the structure of interrelationship of the original variables of IDT; 3) confirmatory factor analysis to guarantee conceptual validity for the pattern observed; 4) coefficient alpha to verify the homogeneity of set of items; 5) ANOVA to verify the likely differences between the groups of respondents; and 6) multiple regression analysis to analyze the relation between constructs. Results showed that not all factors of IDT had effect on attitude and intention. Only three constructs had significant effect on attitude and/or intention: relative advantage+compatibility for work style (β = 0,792), visibility (β = 0,166) and result demonstrability (β = 0,152). Moreover, teachers had a positive attitude in relation to use of Moodle and a positive intention in relation to use in the future. It was not possible to confirm all the relation of TAM, probably this verification was been compromised for some problems in the measurement process, thus, the only unsupported relationship of TAM was the effect of complexity on attitude. An academic contribution was that although some constructs of IDT did not show effect on the constructs of TAM, the model provided evidence of appropriated application of constructs of TAM with IDT to measure attitude and intention of use of Moodle. A management contribution was the understanding and prediction the teacher s behavior in relation to adoption and use process of Moodle, being possible to verify the effectiveness of innovative project of distance learning in the UFPB Virtual.
Nesse estudo, o modelo de pesquisa baseado no modelo de aceitação da tecnologia (Technology Acceptance Model - TAM) (DAVIS et al., 1989) e na teoria da difusão da inovação (Innovation Diffusion Theory - IDT) (ROGERS, 2003) foi usado para analisar a relação entre as características de inovação e o comportamento dos docentes no processo de adoção e de uso do Moodle em cursos de graduação a distância. Foi utilizada uma estratégia de levantamento (survey) aplicado a 162 docentes a distância da Universidade Federal da Paraíba Virtual, focando questão sobre as características percebidas de inovação, atitude e intenção em torno do uso do Moodle. Foram realizadas técnicas estatísticas multivariadas: 1) validação de translação para analisar a estrutura completa das escalas em relação à pertinência e representatividade dos itens e a verificação de que os itens propostos remetem ao construto em questão; 2) análise fatorial exploratória para conhecer a estrutura das inter-relações das variáveis originais da IDT; 3) análise fatorial confirmatória para garantir a validade conceitual para os padrões observados; 4) alpha de Cronbach para verificar a homogeneidade do conjunto de itens das escalas; 5) ANOVA para verificar as possíveis diferenças entre os grupos de respondentes; e 6) análise de regressão múltipla para analisar a relação entre os construtos. Os resultados revelaram que nem todos os fatores da IDT tiveram efeito sobre atitude e intenção. Apenas três construtos apresentaram efeito significativo sobre a atitude e/ou intenção: avanço relativo+compatibilidade por estilo de trabalho (β = 0,792), visibilidade (β = 0,166) e demonstrabilidade de resultado (β = 0,152). Além disso, os docentes tiveram uma atitude positiva em relação ao uso do Moodle bem como uma intenção positiva em relação ao seu uso futuro. Não foi possível confirmar todos os relacionamentos do TAM, provavelmente essa verificação foi comprometida por alguns problemas no processo de mensuração das escalas, sendo assim, o único relacionamento do TAM não suportado foi o efeito de complexidade sobre atitude. Uma contribuição acadêmica foi que apesar de alguns construtos da IDT não terem apresentado efeito sobre os construtos do TAM, o modelo forneceu evidência de aplicação apropriada dos construtos do TAM com os da IDT para medir a atitude e intenção de uso do Moodle. Uma contribuição gerencial foi a compreensão e previsão do comportamento dos docentes EaD em relação ao processo de adoção e uso do Moodle, possibilitando verificar a efetividade do projeto inovador de EaD na UFPB Virtual.

Full textAbstract:
Vi går mot ett allt mer kontantlöst samhälle, där mobilbetalningar är det betalsätt som används mest efter kortbetalningar. Idag finns det ett stort urval av olika mobila betalningstjänster på marknaden. I denna studie kommer acceptans av digitala plånböcker att undersökas. Digitala plånböcker är betaltjänstapplikationer som bl.a. kan användas för att online och i fysisk butik. Mer specifikt kommer vi att undersöka de digitala plånböckerna Apple Pay och Samsung Pay, vilka är relativt nylanserade på den svenska marknaden. I och med det nya betaltjänstdirektivet (PSD2) som initierades av EU, förväntas fler företag tillhandahålla betalningstjänster som bygger på bankernas API och använda kundens kontoinformation. Denna potentiella förändring av den finansiella marknaden, där företag istället för banker tillhandahåller kunders kontoinformation och sköter deras finansiella tjänster, väcker frågor angående kunders uppfattade förtroende och risk. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkade användares acceptans och avsikten att använda dessa digitala plånböcker. Dessa faktorer baserades på E-commerce acceptance model, vilken baserades på den etablerade modellen Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) och litteratur om faktorerna risk och förtroende. Data som låg till grund för empirin hämtades från elektroniska enkäter. Resultatet påvisade att faktorerna uppfattad nytta och förtroende hade starkast påverkan på respondenternas avsikt att använda de digitala plånböckerna. Resultatet och urvalet diskuterades även utifrån teorin Diffusion of Innovations för att kontextualisera studien.We are moving towards an increasingly cash-free society, where mobile payments are the most frequently used payment method after card payment. Today there is a wide selection of different mobile payment services on the market. This study will focus on acceptance of digital wallets, which are payment service applications that can be used online as well as in physical stores. More specifically, we will examine the digital wallets Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, which are newly launched on the Swedish market. With the new Payment Service Directive (PSD2) initiated by the EU, more companies are expected to provide payment services based on the bank's APIs to use the customer's account information. This potential change in the financial market, where companies instead of banks manage customer account information and financial services, raises questions about customers' perceived trust and risk. The purpose of this study was to investigate which factors influenced users' acceptance and intent to use digital wallets. These factors are based on the E-commerce acceptance model, which was based on the established model Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and literature on the factors risk and trust. The data which the results were based upon were obtained from electronic surveys. The results indicated that the factors perceived usefulness and trust had the strongest impact on respondents' intention to use the digital wallets. The result and sample were also discussed based on the theory Diffusion of Innovations to contextualize the study.

[ES] A las universidades actuales no se les demanda solamente que actúen como centros de enseñanza e investigación, sino que contribuyan al desarrollo económico y social de los territorios en los que están implantadas. Una de las maneras en las que las universidades pueden contribuir a este desarrollo es mediante la transferencia de conocimiento de investigación aplicada que contribuya a la generación de riqueza y puestos de trabajo. Otra es incrementar la empleabilidad de sus egresados facilitando su incorporación al sistema productivo. En este sentido, la universidad puede jugar un papel relevante facilitando una formación que potencie y desarrolle el sentido de la iniciativa y el emprendimiento de sus estudiantes, considerado una de las habilidades fundamentales demandadas en el siglo XXI.
Asimismo, la formación en el espíritu emprendedor de los estudiantes pasa por el uso de metodologías docentes que sean innovadoras y motivadoras y, por lo tanto, capaces de hacer frente a los retos a los que se enfrenta la educación superior actual. En este sentido, en los últimos años, se ha señalado la capacidad de la gamificación como herramienta de instrucción altamente motivadora y eficaz. Los estudios actuales señalan asimismo las posibilidades del uso de la gamificación para desarrollar la competencia emprendedora entre los estudiantes universitarios. No obstante, el profesorado es un elemento clave en la implantación de las metodologías y aproximaciones pedagógicas empleadas en el aula. Por este motivo, el objetivo principal de esta tesis es analizar las actitudes e intención de uso de la gamificación, por parte del profesorado universitario, como metodología docente dirigida a desarrollar la competencia emprendedora de los estudiantes universitarios.
Con este objetivo se plantea un diseño exploratorio de corte cuantitativo orientado a conocer la actitud e intención de uso del profesorado universitario hacia la gamificación como metodología docente con la que desarrollar la competencia emprendedora de los estudiantes universitarios. Para alcanzar este objetivo se desarrolla, y valida, un modelo predictivo que incluye tanto variables personales (edad, género,) como moduladoras (clima laboral) explicativas de la actitud e intención de uso del profesorado universitario.
Los resultados sugieren que la actitud frente al uso resulta explicada fundamentalmente por la utilidad percibida, y en menor medida por el clima laboral, la edad y el género. Por otro lado, la intención de uso se explica básicamente por la utilidad percibida y la edad, y en menor grado por la actitud, el clima laboral y el género.[CA] En els últims anys, a les universitats no se'ls demanda únicament que actuen com a centres d'ensenyament i investigació, sinó que contribuïsquen al desenvolupament econòmic i social dels territoris en els quals estan implantades. Una de les maneres en les quals les universitats poden contribuir a aquest desenvolupament és mitjançant la transferència de coneixement d'investigació aplicada, que contribuïsca a la generació de riquesa i llocs de treball. Una altra és incrementar l'ocupabilitat dels seus egressats, facilitant la seua incorporació al sistema productiu. En aquest sentit, la universitat pot jugar un paper rellevant facilitant una formació que potencie i desenvolupe el sentit de la iniciativa i l'emprenedoria dels seus estudiants, considerat una de les habilitats fonamentals demandades en el segle XXI. Així mateix, la formació en l'esperit emprenedor dels estudiants passa per l'ús de metodologies docents que siguen innovadores i motivadores i, per tant, capaces de fer front als reptes als quals s'enfronta l'educació superior actual. En aquest sentit, en els últims anys, s'ha assenyalat la capacitat de la gamificació com a eina d'instrucció altament motivadora i eficaç. Els estudis actuals assenyalen així mateix les possibilitats de l'ús de la gamificació per a desenvolupar la competència emprenedora entre els estudiants universitaris. No obstant això, el professorat és un element clau en la implantació de les metodologies i aproximacions pedagògiques emprades a l'aula. Per aquest motiu, l'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi és analitzar les actituds i intenció d'ús de la gamificació, per part del professorat universitari, com a metodologia docent dirigida a desenvolupar la competència emprenedora dels estudiants universitaris. Amb aquest objectiu es planteja un disseny exploratori de tall quantitatiu orientat a conéixer l'actitud i intenció d'ús del professorat universitari cap a la ludificació com a metodologia docent amb la qual desenvolupar la competència emprenedora dels estudiants universitaris. Amb aquest objectiu es desenvolupa, i valguda, un model predictiu que inclou tant variables personals (edat, gènere,) com a moduladores (clima laboral) explicatives de l'actitud i intenció d'ús del professorat universitari. Els resultats suggereixen que l'actitud enfront de l'ús resulta explicada fonamentalment per la utilitat percebuda, i en menor mesura pel clima laboral, l'edat i el gènere. D'altra banda, la intenció d'ús s'explica bàsicament per la utilitat percebuda i l'edat, i en menor grau per l'actitud, el clima laboral i el gènere.
[EN] In recent years, universities are not only required to perform as teaching and research centers, but also to be part of the economic and social development of the territories in which they are located. To do so, universities can contribute in many ways, like transfering applied research knowledge that helps in the generation of wealth and jobs or by increasing the employability of their graduates by facilitating their incorporation into the productive system. In this sense, the university as an institution can play a relevant role by providing training that enhances and develops the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship of its students, considered one of the fundamental skills demanded in the 21st century. Likewise, training students in entrepreneurship requires the use of teaching methodologies that are both innovative and motivating and, therefore, capable of meeting the challenges faced by today's higher education. In this sense, in recent years, the capacity of gamification as a highly motivating and effective instructional tool has been pointed out. Current studies also focus on the possibilities of using gamification to develop entrepreneurial competence among university students. Taking this into account and considering that teachers are still a key element in the implementation of the methodologies and pedagogical approaches used in the classroom, the main objective of this thesis is to analyze the attitudes and intention to use gamification, by university teachers, as a teaching methodology aimed at developing the entrepreneurial competence of university students. With this objective, an exploratory design of quantitative cut is proposed, oriented to know the attitude and intention of use of university professors towards gamification as a teaching methodology, to develop the entrepreneurial competence of university students. Having this objective in mind, a predictive model is developed -and validated- that includes both personal variables (age, gender) and modulating variables (work environment) that explain the attitude and intention of university professors towards the use of gamification as a teaching methodology to develop the entrepreneurial competence of university students. The results suggest that attitude towards the use of gamification is explained mainly by perceived usefulness, and to a lesser extent by work environment, age and gender. On the other hand, intention to use is basically explained by perceived usefulness and age, and to a lesser extent by attitude, work environment and gender.

The main aim of this thesis study is to identify the factors that affect higher education students&rsquoperceptions of computerized assessment for learning. This study additionally aims to help effective use of computers in assessment activities by guiding the teachers or educational organization by interpreting the factors that affect students&rsquo
attitudes toward computer use in examinations. Quantitative research design has been used in this study. When choosing the participants, nonprobability sampling strategy was used due to its convenience. A total number 332 student of Middle East Technical University participated in the study. The data has been analyzed via Confirmatory Factor Analysis and interpreted by Structural Equation Modeling. The data loaded under 5 constructs: Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, Intention, Computer Attitude and Anxiety. By identifying the relations between these constructs, a structural model was created to determine the intention of students&rsquo
towards computerized assessment. The findings of this study have revealed that &ldquo
perceived usefulness&rdquo
is the most important determinant in students&rsquo
willingness to use computerized assessment. Additionally, if students have anxiety resulted from computer use, this affect their easiness perceptions negatively. Computer attitude is another factor that affects students&rsquo
perceptions of easiness and their anxiety. Finally it is concluded that students&rsquo
computer attitudes and anxiety affect their behaviors toward computerized assessment.

The Kaingáng Indians from the western region of the State of São Paulo, after undergoing a pacification process, were taken to live in villages lined off by the government and managed by the Indian Protection Service [SPI - Serviço de Proteção ao Índio] (currently, FUNAI). Located 8 km away from the city of Braúna, in western São Paulo State, Icatu is the first village built out of this process. Currently, Kaingáng teachers from Icatu show concern about teaching the language, since, according to them, the spoken and written aspects of the Kaingáng from the South do not correspond to those of the Kaingáng from São Paulo. They also claim that there are differences between these two varieties. In order to verify that those claims about the Kaingáng from São Paulo are accurate, we endeavored in describing the Kaingáng dialect from São Paulo State, specifically from Icatu, comparing it to the Kaingáng dialect from the South. Our hypothesis suggests that the differences between both varieties of the Kaingáng are explained by the contact of the Kaingáng people from Icatu with the Terena language, also spoken in this village, and, mainly, with the Portuguese language, currently their first language.

Mestrado em Contabilidade, Fiscalidade e Finanças EmpresariaisO presente estudo analisa o conceito de Estabelecimento Estável (EE) previsto nas Convenções para evitar a Dupla Tributação (CDT) já celebradas por Portugal, comparando-o com o conceito estabelecido no Modelo de Convenção da OCDE (MCOCDE, 2011) e com o direito interno. Numa primeira fase avaliam-se as recentes recomendações da OCDE para melhorar a interpretação e aplicação do conceito de EE. Posteriormente procede-se à identificação das diferenças existentes entre o direito interno e o MCOCDE (2011). Finaliza-se confrontando os diferentes conceitos, identificando-se as diferenças que podem ser problemáticas para a interpretação e aplicação do conceito de EE em Portugal e aquelas que se podem traduzir em oportunidades de gestão fiscal para grupos empresariais não residentes que queiram atuar em Portugal sem EE. O estudo mostra que existem diversas recomendações da OCDE que devem ser integradas nos comentários do MCOCDE para facilitar a interpretação e aplicação do conceito de EE. Conclui-se existir um conceito de EE mais alargado no direito interno do que no MCOCDE (2011), penalizador para um residente em país com o qual Portugal não celebrou CDT. Os resultados evidenciam que o conceito estabelecido em algumas das CDTs revelam características que podem ser aproveitadas em termos de gestão fiscal, permitindo que uma entidade não residente, que seja residente em país com o qual Portugal celebrou CDT, não seja obrigada a possuir um EE em Portugal para aqui exercer determinada atividade empresarial.
The present study investigates the Permanent Establishment (PE) concept envisaged in the Double Taxation Treaties (DTT) already signed by Portugal, comparing with the concept established in the OECD Model Convention (OECDMC, 2011) and with internal law. In a first stage are evaluated the recent OECD recommendations to improve the interpretation and application of the PE concept. Afterwards we compare the existing differences between internal law and OECDMC (2011). We finalize by confronting the different concepts and by identifying the differences that may be problematic to the interpretation and application of the PE concept in Portugal and those that could arise as tax management opportunities for non-resident corporate groups of companies which intend to develop business activities in Portugal without a PE being deemed to exist. The study shows that there are several OECD recommendations that must be integrated in the OECDMC comments in order to ease the interpretation and application of the PE concept. We conclude that exist a wider PE concept in the internal law than in MCOCDE (2011), which penalizes a resident in a country with which Portugal has not entered into a DTT. The results show that the concept established in some DDTs has characteristic?s that can be exploited in terms of fiscal management, allowing a non-resident, which is resident in a country with which Portugal has concluded a DTT, not being obliged to have a PE in Portugal in order to undertake a certain business activity.

Full textAbstract:
The recent advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) over the past two decades have influenced many aspects of live ([19] and [7]). These advances make the issue of acceptance of ICTs a topic of increasing importance, particularly in educational research and practice [18]. Many studies have been conducted to understand, explain, and predict the issue of acceptance and use of new technologies. Fortunately, these studies have resulted in several serious theoretical developments [9]. Overall understanding of the role of culture and social norms in influencing acceptance and use of education technologies, particularly collaborative and interactive technologies such as the internet, can facilitate the successful implementation and use of these technologies in the educational context. This study concentrates on providing insight into the influence of culture and social processes on staff members’ acceptance and use of educational technology, namely the internet at Khartoum state universities (KSUs). Specifically, the study aims to identify the influential role of these factors on acceptance and the use of the internet as a helpful collaborative educational technology. To achieve this aim, the study adopts technology acceptance model (TAM), which is modified (i.e. extended) with Hofstede’s cultural dimensions (mainly uncertainty avoidance and masculinity). With the help of a structural equation model (SEM), the data assessment demonstrates the validity of the model and proves that social influence process and cultural factors have significant (direct and moderate) influence on staff members’ acceptance and use of internet technology for teaching and academic activities – i.e. the authors are able to assert that community matters in the adoption of these new ICTs. The article concludes by offering important implications and recommendations for both research and practice.

Previous issue date: 2007-10-19The spread of the Web boosted the dissemination of Information Systems (IS) based on the Web. In order to support the implementation of these systems, several technologies came up or evolved with this purpose, namely the programming languages. The Technology Acceptance Model TAM (Davis, 1986) was conceived aiming to evaluate the acceptance/use of information technologies by their users. A lot of studies and many applications have used the TAM, however, in the literature it was not found a mention of the use of such model related to the use of programming languages. This study aims to investigate which factors influence the use of programming languages on the development of Web systems by their developers, applying an extension of the TAM, proposed in this work. To do so, a research was done with Web developers in two Yahoo groups: java-br and python-brasil, where 26 Java questionnaires and 39 Python questionnaires were fully answered. The questionnaire had general questions and questions which measured intrinsic and extrinsic factors of the programming languages, the perceived usefulness, the perceived ease of use, the attitude toward the using and the programming language use. Most of the respondents were men, graduate, between 20 and 30 years old, working in the southeast and south regions. The research was descriptive in the sense of its objectives. Statistical tools, descriptive statistics, main components and linear regression analysis were used for the data analysis. The foremost research results were: Java and Python have machine independence, extensibility, generality and reliability; Java and Python are more used by corporations and international organizations than supported by the government or educational institutions; there are more Java programmers than Python programmers; the perceived usefulness is influenced by the perceived ease of use; the generality and the extensibility are intrinsic factors of programming languages which influence the perceived ease of use; the perceived ease of use influences the attitude toward the using of the programming language
A difus?o da Web impulsionou a dissemina??o de Sistemas de Informa??o (SI) baseados na Web. Para apoiar a implementa??o desses sistemas, diversas tecnologias surgiram ou evolu?ram com este prop?sito, dentre elas as linguagens de programa??o. O Modelo de Aceita??o de Tecnologia - TAM (Davis, 1986) foi concebido com o intuito de avaliar a aceita??o/uso de tecnologias da informa??o por seus usu?rios. V?rios estudos e aplica??es diversas t?m utilizado o TAM, no entanto, n?o foi encontrada na literatura men??o a utiliza??o de tal modelo com rela??o ao uso de linguagens de programa??o. Este estudo objetiva investigar que fatores influenciam o uso de linguagens de programa??o utilizadas no desenvolvimento de sistemas Web por parte de seus desenvolvedores, utilizando uma extens?o do TAM, proposta neste estudo. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa com desenvolvedores Web pertencentes a dois grupos do Yahoo: java-br e python-brasil, no qual foram respondidos, na ?ntegra, 26 question?rios Java e 39 Python. O question?rio tinha quest?es de car?ter geral e quest?es que mediam os fatores intr?nsecos e extr?nsecos das linguagens de programa??o, a utilidade percebida, a facilidade de uso percebida, a atitude sobre o uso e o uso da linguagem de programa??o. A maioria dos respondentes eram homens, com n?vel superior, idade entre 20 e 30 anos, atuando nas regi?es sudeste e sul. Do ponto de vista de seus objetivos, a pesquisa foi descritiva. Em rela??o ? forma de abordagem, quantitativa. Para a an?lise de dados foram utilizadas ferramentas estat?sticas, estat?stica descritiva, componentes principais e an?lise de regress?o linear m?ltipla. Os principais resultados da pesquisa foram: Java e Python possuem independ?ncia de m?quina, extensibilidade, generalidade e confian?a; Java e Python s?o mais utilizadas por corpora??es e organiza??es internacionais do que apoiadas pelo governo ou institui??es de ensino; h? mais programadores Java do que Python; a utilidade percebida ? influenciada pela facilidade de uso percebida; a generalidade e a extensibilidade s?o fatores intr?nsecos as linguagens de programa??o que influenciam a facilidade de uso percebida; a facilidade de uso percebida influencia a atitude em rela??o ao uso da linguagem de programa??o

O presente trabalho tem por finalidade estudar e identificar as perturbações sobrevindas nos critérios material e espacial da regra-matriz de incidência do Imposto sobre Serviços, decorrentes da alteração estrutural resultante da incorporação das novas tecnologias da informação e da comunicação (TICs) nas transações do comércio eletrônico. Os recursos telemáticos não apenas despojaram as transações comerciais do contato físico entre os sujeitos envolvidos, mas relativizaram as condições de tempo e espaço, inerentes a todos os fatos jurídicos. Assim, buscamos examinar simultaneamente, de maneira análoga, a problemática da tributação do comércio eletrônico nos Estados, por meio do Direito Internacional Tributário, e a realidade vivida pelos Municípios no direito interno relativamente à tributação dos serviços afetados pelas mesmas inovações tecnológicas. Para tanto, o estudo foi pautado na definição de elementos de conexão, revelados em conceitos como estabelecimento permanente e estabelecimento prestador, para a delimitação da competência impositiva relativa aos fatos jurídicos inerentes às transações eletrônicas. O estudo se inicia na definição dos problemas jurídico-tributários inerentes ao comércio eletrônico, fixando seu conceito e analisando suas espécies e características específicas, adentrando no estudo do regime jurídico dos bens digitais, objeto das transações do comércio eletrônico direto. Ainda em estudo preliminar, abordamos aspectos relativos à Federação brasileira, definindo a realidade dos Municípios e analisando seu papel na Federação brasileira, divisando a composição de suas rendas próprias e a participação efetiva e potencial da receita tributária. Esta análise será concomitante àquela da outorga de competência impositiva no Brasil, e no direito comparado, finalizando por revisitar os temas da partição da competência dos tributos incidentes sobre o consumo e da dicotomia tipo-conceito. Por fim, após a análise destas questões preliminares, e munidos de um adequado suporte teórico, adentramos no estudo específico do Imposto sobre Serviços e da nova realidade na prestação de serviço advinda da reestruturação das empresas, da redistribuição das etapas de trabalho e da relativização da presença física nas relações comerciais, analisando as alterações nos conceitos de serviço e estabelecimento prestador na definição das competências impositivas dos Municípios. Ao final, será verificada a possibilidade da aplicação das soluções utilizadas no direito internacional e propostas pela doutrina para a concreção do conceito de estabelecimento permanente, aplicadas àquele de estabelecimento prestador no direito interno, em especial à configuração de servidores de dados e sites web como estabelecimento. Em conclusão, após a proposição de definição para os critérios material e espacial das transações no comércio eletrônico, dedicamos um breve estudo da aplicação prática dos mecanismos propostos a alguns serviços que sofreram alterações pela incorporação dos meios virtuais.This study aims to analyze and identify disturbances that appear on the material and spatial criteria of incidence matrix-rule model of the Service Tax, arising from structural change resulting from the incorporation of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) in electronic trade transactions. The telematic resources not only deprived the business transactions of physical contact between the individuals involved, but relativized conditions of time and space inherent in all legal facts. Therefore, we sought to examine simultaneously, in a similar way, the issue of taxation of electronic commerce in the Brazilian States, through the International Tax Law, and the reality experienced by Municipalities in the law regarding the taxation of services affected by the same technological innovations. Thus, the study was guided by the definition of connecting factors, revealed in concepts such as permanent establishment and establishment rendering to delimit the jurisdiction imposing on legal facts inherent to electronic transactions. The study begins with the definition of legal and tax issues relating to electronic commerce, establishing its concept and analyzing its specific types and characteristics, studying the legal regime of digital assets, object of direct e-commerce transactions. Still in the preliminary study, we address aspects of the Brazilian Federation, defining the reality of Municipalities and analyzing their role in the Brazilian Federation, devising the composition of their own incomes and effective participation and potential tax revenue. This analysis is concomitant to that of grant of jurisdiction imposing in Brazil, and in comparative law, ending by revisiting the themes of partition within the competence of taxes on consumption and the dichotomy type-concept. Finally, after a preliminary analysis of these issues and based on an adequate theoretical support, we studied the specific Services Tax and the new reality in the provision of services arising from the restructuring of the companies, the redistribution of work steps, and the relativization of physical presence in trade relations, analyzing the changes in the concepts of service and establishment rendering in the definition of the powers of Municipalities. At the end, we will be investigating the possibility of applying the solutions used in the international law and doctrine proposals for the concretion of the concept of permanent establishmet, applied to that of establishment rendering under domestic law, in particular the configuration of data servers and websites like setting. In conclusion, after the proposal of setting criteria for material and spatial transactions in e-commerce, we dedicate a brief study of the practical application of the proposed mechanisms to some services that were modified by the incorporation of virtual media.

As of today, Blockchain is an innovative distributed ledger technology enabling the exchange
of value online without the need of intermediaries such as banks or players of the shared
economy. The technology provides a decentralized and trustless network, secured by
cryptography and consensus mechanisms.
The study attempted to assess the current ‘Level of Knowledge’ about the up-and-coming
Blockchain technology throughout society, which is considered to be fundamental in order to
unfold full socio-economic potential. Based on a modified version of the Technology
Acceptance Model (TAM) by Davis (1989) the study sought to define relationships between
self-reported variables such as ‘Perceived Ease of Use’, ‘Perceived Usefulness’ and
‘Perceived Risk’, ultimately predicting the ‘Intention to Use’ of Blockchain. An online
questionnaire was designed and shared across a convenience sample population, comprised by
young students and professionals.
The results reveal that about two thirds of the sample population is non-aware of the topic at
hand. The findings affirm overall significance and appropriateness of the tested constructs
within the conceptual framework. A system will be accepted, if it is perceived as trustworthy,
convenient and useful. ‘Perceived Risk’ was the most significant determinant in predicting
intended use. Regression analysis revealed significant relationships among all the variables
used.
Managerial as well as academic implications about the outcomes of this study have been
formulated.
It should be noted, that due to the nature of TAM and the convenience sample, general
conclusions about society’s perception are limited.Atualmente o Blockchain, ou “protocolo de segurança” é uma tecnologia inovadora que garante a partilha de valor online sem intermédio de terceiros. Por outras palavras, a tecnologia garante uma rede descentralizada e segura, assegurada pela criptografia e outros mecanismos consensuais, criando uma alternativa à confiança em bancos e outros players que atuem sob a economia partilhada. O estudo em causa tenta avaliar o atual “Nível de Conhecimento” na sociedade relativamente à tecnologia, considerado como um ponto fundamental para revelar todo o seu potencial socioeconómico. O mesmo, é baseado numa versão modificada do modelo Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), proposto por Davis (1989), que procura definir relações entre variáveis previamente definidas como: ‘Facilidade de Utilização Percebida’, ‘Utilidade Percebida’ e ‘Risco Percebido’ que preveem a intenção de uso do Blockchain. Isto é, afirmarse- á que um sistema é aceite caso seja visto como seguro, conveniente e útil. Um questionário relativo ao tópico foi partilhado entre uma amostra por conveniência, composta por jovens estudantes e profissionais. Os resultados revelam que cerca de dois terços dos indivíduos que compõem a amostra não estão cientes do tópico em causa. Identificou-se que a variável ‘Risco Percebido’ é aquela que significativamente melhor determina a intenção de uso, sendo que, a análise de regressão revelou relações significativas entre todas as variáveis utilizadas. Implicações académicas e de gestão foram formuladas após a análise dos resultados. Contudo, devido à natureza da TAM e à amostra por conveniência as conclusões gerais sobre a percepção da sociedade relativamente ao Blockchain são limitadas.

With the technological development and popularity of the Internet user, online shopping for the consumer is becoming a part of everyday life and with a fast-growing trend. The reason why such a booming of online shopping is nothing more than a convenient search parity, Internet prices are concessions, saving time for shopping and delivery to a destination as the comsumer pointed or easy to pick up. Those factors are driving consumers to engage in this activity. Therefore, by the rapid development of online shopping, this study is going to investigate the acceptance of online shopping on seafood products.

E-invoicing system has been implemented since 2010. It was the pioneer for the offline at first. The purpose of e-invoice is to achieve the goal of saving paper, creating e-business elements, reducing operating costs, and further enhancing the international competitiveness. E-invoice has been used in physical and virtual stores for years in the private enterprise. However, it was first introduced into the Government-Operated Enterprises in January 2016, which enforces Tap-Water, Taipower, gas and telecommunications to adopt e-invoice. It results in producing more than six hundred million invoices a year in Taiwan. Therefore, this study regards the Technology Acceptance Model as the main framework, and incorporates the dimensions of “relative advantage”, “complexity” and “trust”, “perceived risk” from the innovation diffusion theory to construct a completed model. Then, we discuss the dimensions of consumers’ usage intention, acceptance and satisfaction of the e-invoice for Government-Operated Enterprises. We collected 306 questionnaires, which 291 are effective in our empirical study and tested our model by the structural equation model (SEM). The empirical results showed that “relative advantage” had a positive effect on “perceived usefulness” and “perceived ease of use”; “complexity” had a negative effect on “perceived ease of use”; “trust” had a positive effect on “attitude towards use”; “perceived risk” had a negative effect on “attitude towards use”; “perceived ease of use” had a positive effect on “perceived usefulness” and “attitude towards use”; “perceived usefulness” had a positive effect on “attitude towards use”; “attitude towards use” had a positive effect on “intention to use”. The results will help the government understand consumers’ intention to use the e-invoice for Government-Operated Enterprises and considerations for implementation of e-invoice policy, and the research basis of earlier provided regarding subsequent research.

The study aims to explore the willingness of Navy workforce to persistently use the Naval E-Learning Platform (NELP) to improve their domain knowledge and work efficiency. Based on the theory of Technology Acceptance Model 2(TAM2), a hypothetical research model is proposed to implement the research intentions and ideas. In the proposed model, the antecedents of willingness to use NEPL are perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, which are in turns affected by factors of subjective norm, job relevance, and information quality. To empirical test the proposed model, the study follows the conventional research guidelines including random sampling and well-developed questionnaire to verify the research intentions. A number of 200 questionnaires was distributed to a random sample composed by the Navy workforce in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and the responses of the random selected samples was 172. The analytical results of this research show that the factor of subjective norm has no direct impacts to factor of willingness to use persistently and to factor of perceived usefulness. However, the factors of job relevance and information quality have direct impacts to the willingness of Navy workforce to persistently use the NELP. The study also found that the persistent use of NEPL by the Navy workforce would increase their work efficiency.
