Introduction/Study Objectives: Etanercept is a tumour necrosis factor inhibitor indicated for the treatment of several inflammatory disorders. Patients with these diseases may experience manual dexterity challenges. Autoinjectors may improve dose accuracy, treatment adherence and quality of life; and reduce injection-site reactions. Studies have indicated patients prefer autoinjectors to other injection methods, however, patients must be able to demonstrate safe and effective use of an autoinjector for it to be a viable option. The YLB113 etanercept autoinjector may be a substitutable biosimilar to reference etanercept (Pfizer Manufacturing, Puurs, Belgium). This study sought to confirm intended users of the YLB113 etanercept autoinjector could demonstrate safe and effective use. Methods: The evaluation was performed among 79 participants representative of intended YLB113 etanercept autoinjector users; and included patients, caregivers and healthcare providers (HCPs). Results: All participants successfully delivered two simulated doses of etanercept into the foam pad using the autoinjector. Some participants experienced user errors, use difficulties, or close calls while simulating injection or answering knowledge questions. Discussion: In this usability evaluation, study patients, caregivers and HCPs demonstrated a high rate of injection success using the YLB113 etanercept autoinjector. Conclusions: The study results support demonstration of safe and effective use of the YLB113 etanercept autoinjector, a substitutable biosimilar to reference etanercept.

PURPOSE/THESIS: The aim of the research paper is to outline web usability evaluation based on eye tracking and to determine the usability of the website of the National Museum - Pałace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania from the user perspective in the process of searching for the most required Information. APPROACH/METHODS: A literature analysis was used to get acquainted with usability evaluation methods and the historical review of visual attention studies, Questionnaire based interviews with visitors of the museums were used to collect Information about people Information needs and searching patterns on museum websites. In order to evaluate the website of the National Museum - Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania the researchers used eye tracking equipment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The eye tracking have recently gained attention in different research areas, however issues of museum website design and usability research using eye tracking techniąues and methods have not been widely discussed in scientific literature so far. The research on the Information needs of the visitors of Lithuanian museum websites revealed the most reąuired Information: opening hours, museum location, entrance ticket price and Information about exhibitions. The results confirmed the assumption that people used museum websites as a primary tool to prepare for a visit at the physical museum. The eye tracking analysis of the website of the National Museum - Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania revealed the typical mistakes and errors made in Information placement. When the Information most needed by the users is placed in different parts and levels of the website, the visitors have to spend more time and effort to find the Information and to prepare for a visit at the museum. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Issues of the museum websites design are not widely discussed in worldwide scientific literature. There are no data about eye tracker based research on museum websites done in Lithuania before. The analysis results may contribute to new knowledge about designing successful interfaces for museum websites. Moreover, the results could be used in a broader field to improve the interfaces and Information representation for websites in general.

This chapter describes usability studies of website-based and mobile application-based social media sites. In the study including 10 university students, the completion time of assigned tasks were measured along with click numbers and completion situations. These measures were analyzed. Data obtained from eye tracking movements was analyzed, and the results were evaluated. According to the results, the users can complete most of the tasks, but completion time varied. The participants had difficulties completing settings menu tasks except menus previously used in social media. When eye tracking results were examined, it was revealed that they mostly focused on the left side of websites and mobile applications. The participants stated that mobile applications were more useful than websites. According to eye-tracking data obtained in the study and the users' opinions, mobile social media applications were more functional than their websites.
