Abstract In order to track industry 4.0 status, readiness models can be used to analyze the state of indus-try 4.0 technologies’ implementation allowing the quantification and qualification of its readiness level, focusing on different dimensions. To this matter, there are companies unable to relate the industry 4.0 with their business models, leading to a lack of a correct self-assess in order to understand the reached readiness level. Not all companies are adopting these new technologies with the same ease and with the same pace. Into this purpose, it is important to understand how to assess the industry 4.0’ readiness so far and what are the barriers on the adoption of these enabling technologies by the industry. This paper aims to assess the industry 4.0’ readiness level of companies, understand the perception of companies due to the barriers on the adoption of industry 4.0 enabling technologies and bring new barriers for discussion on academic community. To this end, empirical data was collected on a sample of 15 companies belonging to an important industrial cluster in Portugal.

The Impact

The global financial market is undergoing transformational changes under the growing influence of innovative factors. Such changes are due, in particular, to the concentration and scaling up and diversification of the structure of financial services, the renewal of the financial sector on the basis of FinTech operations and blockchain technologies. This requires taking into account the impact of innovation factors on the transformation of the financial market in the dimension of FinTech. The study aims to identify the imperatives of global financial innovation and show ways to develop innovative models in the interpretation of S-curves for next-generation products using new technologies when key technologies on the previous S-curve become obsolete. Also, the matrix of financial innovations is presented and the synergy of its innovation models is proved.The results of the study are to prove that each of the presented models is not independent, it evolves and develops itself, as well as affects other models. This made it possible to identify prognostic pathways for the development of innovative models in their synergy in the form of two-ring motion. Thus, the study emphasizes the need for further research aimed at developing innovative models that will determine strategic decisions in the formation of innovation imperatives.

Traditional teaching methods lose prominence as new technologies emerge as aids inthe learning process. Ensuring new classroom dynamics and expanding the learning environmentbeyond the classroom is, in fact, a tempting additive for students who are developing in an era oftechnological ascension. Mobile learning or M-learning is, therefore, the most accessible andpopular way to offer educational dynamics to students, including those with some type ofdisability. Bringing together collaborative teaching, which allows students to work in groups andinteractively with each other, and the facilities provided by technology, the objective of the workis to present a systematic literature review pointing out the impact of collaborative mobiletechnologies for teaching people with Visual impairment. Following Kitchenham's systematicreview method, 592 articles in Portuguese and English were analyzed, 10 of which were selectedto answer the research questions. The results of this research reveal that the use of mobiletechnologies is efficient and more accessible, positively impacting the learning of students withvisual impairments, but still presents latent problems and challenges. This systematic reviewprovides the academic community with a current synthesis of research and development on thesubject, between 2015 and 2020, in different teaching environments regarding the educationallevel and context, characteristics, receptivity and challenges, always backed up by empirical evidence

Competencia Digital

El dinamismo del fenómeno de las nuevas tecnologías aplicadas a la educación obliga a la comunidad académica a revisar de forma sistemática el nivel de dominio de los estudiantes sobre las competencias relacionadas. Este trabajo forma parte de una amplia investigación que analiza la formación sobre nuevas tecnologías que posee el alumnado del Grado de Maestro de Educación Primaria en tres universidades españolas (Granada, Jaén y Oviedo). El estudio se centra en una muestra de 559 estudiantes y pone en relieve las fortalezas y debilidades que tienen actualmente en materia TIC, haciendo énfasis en aquellos aspectos que deben ser objeto de especial atención didáctica. Los resultados muestran nuevos retos para el docente, ya sean aspectos técnicos, legislativos, o cuestiones relacionadas con la seguridad, tales como el acoso o la ansiedad derivada. Este incremento de contenidos no debe ser óbice para continuar abordando temas TIC tradicionales y de elevado impacto, dado que los datos indican que esos aspectos se vuelven nuevamente lagunas del conocimiento. The new technologies applied to education are a dynamic phenomenon, and this forces the academic community to review the level of students’ knowledge over their real competences. This work is part of an extensive research that analyzes the training on the students’ ICT of the Primary School Degree Teacher Training, on three Spanish universities (Granada, Jaén and Oviedo). The study focuses on a sample of 559 students and highlights the strengths and weaknesses about their ICT skills, emphasizing those aspects that should be specially studied. The results show new challenges for the teacher, technically, legislatively, or about security-related issues, such as cyberbullying or anxiety. This increase in subjects should not be an obstacle to continue addressing traditional ICT issues, since our results show these aspects again become gaps in the students’ knowledge.

Psychological Detachment From Work

Permanent connection to the work world as a result of new technologies raises the possibility of workday extensions and excessive workloads. The present study addresses the relationship between technology and psychological detachment from work resulting from work overload. Participants were 313 professionals from the health sector who responded to three instruments used in similar studies. Through PLS-SEM, regression and dependence analyses were developed, and through the bootstrapping method, significance of factor loadings, path coefficients and variances were examined. Results of the study corroborate a negative effect of technology use on psychological detachment from work and a positive correlation between technology and work overload. Additionally, there is a significant indirect effect of technology on psychological detachment from work as a result of work overload. Findings extend the literature related to the stressor-detachment model, and support the idea that workers who are often connected to their jobs by technological tools are less likely to reach adequate psychological detachment levels. Implications for the academic community and practitioners are discussed.

Abstract Vulnerability is a prevalent problem affecting both personal and organizational security. Our study represents a comprehensive assessment of a particular social security network, which seeks to examine the academic environment and to expose some improvement initiatives. The purpose is to develop a multi-element suitability analysis by overlaying existing referenced social circumstances to a PESTLE analysis. Exploring some external EDTs factors makes, it clear that new treatment instruments are being considered for the balanced security approach of an organizational culture. The research findings indicate that the approach serves as a great management tool for the heading board, highlighting its importance for regaining control over the aggressive elements that threaten the collective security. Further, our efforts adapt the excellence of the academic community to social value system by involving as a central element the corporate social responsibility. The military sector develops public and private partnerships, whereas academia and civil society develop new technologies to strengthen the military industrial and technological base.
