Wearable Technology Adoption Among Romanian Students: A Structural Model Based on TAM by Mihai Felea, Mihaela Bucur, Cristian Negruțiu, Maria Nițu, Dragoș Andrei Stoica

“…A survey carried out on Romanian students provided the necessary data to test the model. The results of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), based on the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method, led to the acceptance of eight out of the nine issued hypotheses, indicating that the three exogenous variables (perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment and visual attractiveness of wearable devices) have a significant positive influence (with one exception) on endogenous variables (intention to use and attitude towards the use of wearable devices)…”

Study on the Hierarchical Structure of the “Belt and Road” Aviation Network Based on K-Core Analysis by Hongguang Yao, Huihui Xiao, Wei Wei

“…To explore the hierarchical characteristics of the aviation network of the “Belt and Road,” analyze the relationship between levels, and identify the core layer of the network, k-core analysis based on the “degree” value was designed and performed; the data of airports and air routes were collected to construct the “Belt and Road” aviation network model; then, k-core decomposition was conducted to reduce the size of nodes layer by layer from the outside to the inside, and a network structure model with 19 levels was obtained; the relationship between the coreness and centrality of nodes in the network was investigated, and the changes in the attribute of networks at different levels and the connection between networks were explored; according to the structural characteristics of the network, the “Belt and Road” aviation network was divided into three categories: the core layer, the middle layer, and the detail layer. …”
