Augmented humanity (AH) is a term that has been mentioned in several research papers. However, these papers differ in their definitions of AH. The number of publications dealing with the topic of AH is represented by a growing number of publications that increase over time, being high impact factor scientific contributions. However, this terminology is used without being formally defined. The aim of this paper is to carry out a systematic mapping review of the different existing definitions of AH and its possible application areas. Publications from 2009 to 2020 were searched in Scopus, IEEE and ACM databases, using search terms “augmented human”, ”human augmentation” and “human 2.0”. Of the 16,914 initially obtained publications, a final number of 133 was finally selected. The mapping results show a growing focus on works based on AH, with computer vision being the index term with the highest number of published articles. Other index terms are wearable computing, augmented reality, human–robot interaction, smart devices and mixed reality. In the different domains where AH is present, there are works in computer science, engineering, robotics, automation and control systems and telecommunications. This review demonstrates that it is necessary to formalize the definition of AH and also the areas of work with greater openness to the use of such concept. This is why the following definition is proposed: “Augmented humanity is a human–computer integration technology that proposes to improve capacity and productivity by changing or increasing the normal ranges of human function through the restoration or extension of human physical, intellectual and social capabilities.”

AbstractBackgroundHigher Education Institutions (HEIs) are aware of the immense importance of achieving their strategic objectives to increase their impact on the society and to be competitive. As a board responsibility, information technology governance (ITG) plays an important role in the overall HEIs performance. Numerous HEIs are making great efforts to properly govern information technology (IT) by using ITG frameworks.ObjectivesThis study investigates the overall adoption of ITG frameworks in different HEIs through a systematic mapping review.MethodWe analyzed forty relevant papers, filtered from 6 selected online libraries, and answered six research questions on ITG implementations at universities worldwide.ResultsThe results show an increasing number of publications on ITG usage in HEIs in the last decade. The largest number of applications is described in Asian countries, while the most popular used frameworks are COBIT, ISO versions, and in-house developed frameworks. Finally, we describe the top challenges and benefits of ITG implementation mentioned in research papers.ConclusionThis paper provides a deep insight into the level of integration of ITG in universities worldwide. The results will be presented to the involved stakeholders at our university to increase the awareness of ITG in HEIs and help its implementation process.

Many researchers and authorities have recognized the important role that sports clubs can play in public health. In spite of attempts to create a theoretical framework in the early 2000s, a thorough understanding of sports clubs as a setting for health promotion (HP) is lacking. Despite calls for more effective, sustainable, and theoretically grounded interventions, previous literature reviews have identified no controlled studies assessing HP interventions in sports clubs. This systematic mapping review details how the settings-based approach is applied through HP interventions in sports clubs and highlights facilitators and barriers for sports clubs to become health-promoting settings. In addition, the mapped facilitators and barriers have been used to reformulate previous guidelines of HP in sports clubs. Seven databases were searched for empirical research published between 1986 and 2017. Fifty-eight studies were included, principally coming from Australia and Europe, describing 33 unique interventions, which targeted mostly male participants in team sports. The settings-based approach was not yet applied in sports clubs, as more than half of the interventions implemented in sports club targeted only one level of the socio-ecological model, as well as focused only on study participants rather than the club overall. Based on empirical data, the analysis of facilitators and barriers helped develop revised guidelines for sports clubs to implement settings-based HP. This will be particularly useful when implementing HP initiatives to aid in the development of sports clubs working with a whole setting approach.

Penelitian ini mengkaji berbagai permasalahan pembangunan yang mencakup potret minimnyapartisipasi masyarakat desa dalam aktivitas perencanaan, alokasi sumber daya, pelaksanaan maupunpengawasannya. Dalam eksistensinya, problem pembangunan desa juga terjadi pada desa pesisir disekitar wilayah perbatasan dan terluar Indonesia, sehingga secara signifikan menginterpretasikannyasebagai inefektivitas pembangunan desa pesisir yang memotivasi dan menarik minat perhatian parapeneliti di Indonesia. Berbagai penelitian banyak dilakukan, namun belum ditemukan penelitian yangmemetakan pemikiran tentang efektivitas pembangunan desa pesisir secara sistematis (Riset Indeks,Inklusif Filtrasi dan Pemetaan). Studi ini mempergunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan secara teknis datayang dikumpulkan melalui filtrasi atau screening of paper terhadap 99 topik penelitian yang relevan danselanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan teknik systematic literature review yang menghasilkan diskusi danbahasan agregasi tentang arah penelitian kontemplatif yang dilakukan melalui analisis sistematisterhadap 21 topik penelitian terindeks yang telah dikumpulkan menggunakan teknik screening of papersdan dikelompokkan berdasarkan klasifikasi tertentu. Hasil analisis data penelitian inklusif secarasistematis, menjelaskan bahwa letak penelitian yang concern terhadap proses membangun desa secaraefektif mencakup perilaku agen pembangunan desa pesisir saat ini masih minim sehingga memerlukanupaya pngukuran keberhasilan proses pembangunan yang tepat bagi desa pesisir.
