Summary: Lengthening the inter-trial interval (ITI) or decreasing the press percentage (PP) slows down both reaction time and thought probe response time, resulting in a lingering mental delay state. The study found that mind wandering may delay the response time of thought probes. Participants adopt a mental speed-accuracy trade-off strategy to complete different tasks, speeding up thinking by reducing caution and uncertainty.

Summary: eHealth technologies are increasingly used to support self-management skills for patients with chronic diseases. However, providing personalized support is challenging due to the dynamic nature of chronic diseases. Many eHealth applications use adaptive user interfaces, which can change to accommodate individual users. This study analyzed 48 key studies to categorize the approaches used so far and identify limitations, gaps, and trends in research. The findings will help researchers and developers understand the application of adaptive user interface approaches in different chronic disease-related eHealth applications.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of co-creation with service robots on employee wellbeing based on self-determination theory. The results suggest that co-creation with service robots enhances employees' sense of autonomy and influences their wellbeing through the mediation of autonomy needs related to competence and relatedness.

Summary: This paper evaluates the accessibility of 25 federal e-government websites in Nepal and finds that the majority of the websites fall short in meeting the WCAG 2.1 standards, contrast and ARIA errors, and HTML and CSS validation. However, the websites fare relatively well in terms of compliance with the website directive of 2021. The Nepal government is recommended to establish a web accessibility team and update existing website policies to ensure better accessibility.

Summary: We introduce VIREO, a web-based software tool for graphical authoring of vibrotactile feedback for mobile and wearable applications. VIREO enables flexible specification of vibrotactile patterns with model-based and free-draw input, and is compatible with devices that run JavaScript. We demonstrate the capabilities of VIREO with applications developed for various mobile and wearable devices and present the results of a usability evaluation study. Additionally, we discuss the current state of software tools and platforms for authoring vibrotactile feedback in the scientific community.

Summary: With the rapid development of natural human-computer interaction technologies, gesture-based interfaces have become popular. However, there is a lack of research on foot-gesture-based interfaces. This study explores foot-gesture-based interaction to achieve eyes-free interaction in smart shower rooms and provides design guidelines based on user preferences and behaviors.

Summary: This study aims to understand the trust requirements of UAV operators when piloting UAVs by interviewing six operators with different levels of experience. The importance of past experience to trust and the expectations held by operators were identified, and recommendations were made for training and improving equipment, procedures and standards to develop trustworthy systems. The methodology developed shows promise for capturing trust in human-automation interactions.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of gamification on public relations and its ability to engage the public with social issues. By surveying users on a sustainability-themed gamification platform, the study examines the effects of two gamified communication strategies on public engagement. It also explores the role of motivational experiences and perceptions of the organization-public relationship in this process. The findings show that gamification can enhance corporate public engagement by providing motivational affordances and strengthening positive perceptions of the relationship with the company, leading to increased psychological engagement. The study contributes to the field by bridging the gap in empirical research on the effectiveness of gamification in corporate communication.

Summary: This study investigates the prediction of competitiveness traits on the intention to use memory implant technology, and explores the moderating roles of moral equity, egoism, and utilitarianism. The results reveal a significant positive relationship between competitiveness traits and the intention to use memory implants. Additionally, the relationship is weaker for individuals high in moral equity and stronger for those high in utilitarianism. Egoism does not influence this relationship. This research enhances understanding of how competitiveness traits and ethical judgments influence the acceptance of human-machine hybrid technologies, improving competence.

Summary: This article presents a new 3D user interface for selecting arbitrarily shaped regions of interest in virtual reality. The interface uses a user's finger positions on a 3D surface geometry to create a flexible selection space and provides visual feedback to assist the user in refining the selection shape. The interface employs Leap Motion controller for finger position input and gesture-based navigation, creating a flexible and natural user experience.

Summary: This study compares the error message qualities of four modern database management systems and finds that some of them provide more useful error messages, although these messages still have usability issues. The results are significant in further improving the usability of query language compilers, bridging the gap between human-computer interaction and query language compilers, and providing support for novice teaching.

Summary: This study investigates the role and effectiveness of anthropomorphism in political chatbots in influencing voting intentions. The findings show that participants have higher voting intentions when exposed to political chatbots with higher levels of anthropomorphic visual cues. The study also explores the moderators of this relationship, namely message type (factual vs. emotional) and message interactivity (high vs. low). The results reveal that the highly anthropomorphized chatbot enhances participants' voting intentions when delivering emotional messages. Additionally, participants exhibit higher voting intentions when the political chatbot has lower levels of anthropomorphism and higher (or lower) message interactivity. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Summary: This study investigates the integration of bio-sensors into VR locomotion and explores how usability can be improved. Teleportation methods using eye-tracking, EEG, and hand-tracking were developed for location targeting and teleport triggering. The experimental results demonstrate the suitability of these locomotion methods for hands-free VR content, with eye-tracking being superior for location targeting and hand-tracking for teleport triggering.

Summary: This article investigates the impact of interaction sequencing, previous experience, and the number of problems on user experience evaluations. The study found that users with previous experience tend to give lower ratings, inspectors rate the pragmatic dimension lower as they identify more problems, and interaction sequencing does not have a significant influence on user experience evaluation.
