Purpose: This research examines the effect of Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), religiosity, and company image on intention to use Sharia fintech for donation among Indonesian young consumers. Methodology: This study used a quantitative method with data collection techniques using an online questionnaire. Respondents filled out the questionnaire based on the Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The questionnaire was distributed and collected in less than one week, from 26th March 2021 to 29th March 2021. The ideal sample is five times higher than the number of indicators. The number of indicators is 20, so the ideal sample is 100 or more. This study has successfully collected 206 respondents. However, 13 respondents filled the same scale for all questions, so 193 is chosen as data analysis. The valid data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Findings: This research shows the intention to use Sharia fintech to pay donations influenced by perceived usefulness (PU) and religiosity. In contrast, perceived ease of use (PEOU) and image are not positively related to the intention of using Sharia fintech for donation. Practical Implication: Religiosity and PU positively influence the interest in using Sharia fintech to pay donation. So, it is expected for fintech to comply with Sharia compliance and still comply with regulations from the OJK and DSN related to legality aspects. Furthermore, fintech startups and developers can build a more user-friendly application. Originality: This research is a replication-based model and is adapted from published research. The originality in this research is in the respondent who young generation. Intention to pay donation using fintech Sharia is the main focus to be researched.

This study investigated the factors that led to students adopting cloud computing learning resources (CCLR) in underfunded, rural high schools with the aim of informing future work related to effective implementation of CCLR for underprivileged students. Guided by the CCLR adoption model, survey data of 310 students from two high schools in rural districts in China were obtained and were analyzed utilizing partial least square structural equation modeling. The findings indicated that students’ use of CCLR was a function of the perceived ease of use of CCLR, external facilitating conditions from schools, and students’ voluntariness. The perceived usefulness of CCLR did not predict students’ use behavior. Regarding gender differences, voluntariness affected female students more significantly than males, and anxiety in using CCLR affected female students more negatively than males. This study should interest educational practitioners and policy makers seeking to promote equity in education, particularly in rural districts by effectively implementing new learning technologies.

With the accelerating industrialization of 5G-V2X and smart automobiles, the intelligent connected vehicle (ICV) integrated with sophisticated communication, caching, computing, and control techniques enhance the functionality of in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) and also provide more powerful telematic or entertainment choices in vehicular environment. The diverse needs of ICV users (e.g., drivers and passengers) can be satisfied during commuting and traveling. However, considering the limitations of transportation environment, the potential attitude and usage behavior for the upcoming ICV infotainment directly impacts on the traffic and road safety in sustainable cities. In this paper, we conduct an online and offline survey to investigate the key factors influencing the user attitude and intention of ICV infotainment, where the answers of a total of 502 valid respondents (i.e., IVI users) are collected in China. A conceptual technology acceptance model with the constructs of perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), social influence (SI), consumer innovation (CI), and perceived risk (PR) is established, and then assessed via partial least square structural equation modeling. We find that the constructs of PU, PEOU, CI, and SI have a direct impact on attitude and usage intention, of which 46.8% and 73.4% of variance, respectively, are explained. The respondents show positive attitudes and higher usage intention towards the ICV infotainment. Although PR has insignificant path with attitude and intention, the driving experience moderation effect exists between PR and usage intention. We can see that ICV infotainment will become a trend in future transportation scenario. Through this survey, reference for traffic safety and usage norms will be provided to reduce the risky of public health issues (e.g., traffic accidents) in the context of ICV infotainment.

This study investigates health seekers’ acceptance and adoption determinants of telemedicine services in a rural public hospital setting in an emerging economy using an adapted, extended Technology Acceptance Model. The present study pursued synthesising a plethora of existing literature and contextualised the significance of seven broad categories of potential determinants that significantly affect patients’ acceptance and adoption intentions: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, self-efficacy, service quality, privacy and data security, social influence, and facilitating conditions. The partial least square structural equation modeling technique was employed to test the conceptual model and research hypotheses. A cross-sectional survey was administered among 500 telemedicine users in randomly selected rural and remote areas of Bangladesh. Excluding self-efficacy and ease of use, five determinants expressively contributed to patients’ acceptance of telemedicine adoption, explaining 65% of the variance (R2) in behavioural Intention. The empirical findings have the quality of rigour obtained from rich data sets in health informatics and can contribute to build telemedicine into an institutionalised health infrastructure in Bangladesh and similar settings. Pertinent implications, limitations and future research directions were recommended to secure the long-term sustainability of telemedicine healthcare projects.

Islamic FinTech is growing rapidly and has become a new alternative of financing for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) which are the backbone of the national economy. This study aims to examine the role of religiosity level of MSMEs actors on the intention to use Islamic FinTech. This research employed Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The data collected using an online questionnaire adapted from previous research, then distributed to 100 Indonesian MSME actors and analyzed using smart PLS. The main result indicated religiosity plays a positively significant role in explaining the intention to use Islamic FinTech. In addition, Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), and Subjective Norm (SN) were also found to be influential, while both, Attitude Toward Behavior (ATB) and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC), have no significant effect on behavioral intention. This research implicates the need for collaboration between the Financial Services Authority (OJK) as the regulator with Islamic FinTech institutions to improve literacy, providing incentives, strengthening consumer data protection, as well as integrating the values from the religious angle in the concept and practice of FinTech product and services that are based on Islamic guideline in order to attract the users from MSME actors.
