The word smart is very popular these days, as a result of nearly everything being digital today. Background information: In this digital world, everything is interconnected by smart devices. The driving force behind this is today’s Industry 4.0 environment, which is affected by many factors, including the ergonomic and safe design of new technology, ensuring the safety of factory operators, whilst increasing productivity and profits. The authors answer the following research questions: Are AR/VR systems or devices proposed for industrial use capable of meeting the needs of the industry (including sustainability)? Are these AR/VR devices designed to ensure easy use and efficient training of factory operators? Do the proposals of the reviewed research papers place sufficient emphasis on creating ergonomic workplaces? These publications were categorized into three subcategories based on the used key technology, research or application area, and their main purposes. Conclusion: Virtual reality, augmented reality, and IoT are becoming increasingly more suitable for industrial use, despite facing scrutiny and criticism.

Purpose – Partial least squares (PLS) path modeling is a variance-based structural equation modeling (SEM) technique that is widely applied in business and social sciences. Its ability to model composites and factors makes it a formidable statistical tool for new technology research. Recent reviews, discussions, and developments have led to substantial changes in the understanding and use of PLS. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – This paper aggregates new insights and offers a fresh look at PLS path modeling. It presents new developments, such as consistent PLS, confirmatory composite analysis, and the heterotrait-monotrait ratio of correlations. Findings – PLS path modeling is the method of choice if a SEM contains both factors and composites. Novel tests of exact fit make a confirmatory use of PLS path modeling possible. Originality/value – This paper provides updated guidelines of how to use PLS and how to report and interpret its results.

Environmental contaminants can be eliminated through the use of SCWO techniques. A comprehensive supercritical oxidation (SCWO) research laboratory, including bench and pilot-scale facilities has been developed. High temperature and pressure systems slightly less than and greater than supercritical water conditions can be used for the efficient destruction of waste biological treatment plant sludges, acetic acid, 2-nitro phenol, 2,4-dimethyl phenol, phenol, and 2,4-dinitro toluene. Above 400 °C, near complete destruction of sludge and transformation compounds such as acetic acid can be achieved with relatively short residence times. Ammonia and acetic acid are transformation products in the SCWO of biological treatment plant sludges. Acetic acid produced from the oxidation of sludge is oxidized rapidly at supercritical temperatures, 400 °C to 450 °C.

The article provides a comprehensive view of assessing technological capacity of enterprises in the context of the 4th industrial revolution, through evaluating the following criteria: capacity of technology exploitation–use–operation; capacity of technology innovation and upgrade, and capacity of new technology research and development. Limited resources have a direct impact on the capacity of technology exploitation–operation. The enterprises themselves still faces many difficulties, so the technology innovation and upgrade activities are still left open. Besides, the level of capacity of new technology research and development shows that Vietnamese enterprises have not yet achieved many achievements despite the attention, investment and support policies from the Government.

This chapter suggests that mobile marketing research take an Interaction Design approach through the adoption of the Locales Framework as an alternative perspective to investigate the context of mobile marketing. The research shows how such an approach can integrate marketing and new technology research, highlighting the issues and opportunities brought about by the technology within a domain context, i.e. mobile marketing. Given that there are not many theoretically based frameworks available to support mobile marketing research, the application of this framework provides a roadmap for future research in mobile marketing and helps build the body of knowledge in this field.
