Many museums and libraries conducted efforts to digitize their assets, and many historic documents are now available as digital images. However, these documents are not directly accessible to retrieval systems that rely on written text and not images. In this study, the novel GPT4-Vision is being studied for its ability of optical character recognition (OCR), in cases where established methods, such as Tesseract may have difficulties. We find that GPT4-Vision provides excellent results even in cases where even humans struggle. We also identified a number of key limitations, including the long runtime implying high energy requirements, the lack of handling of rotated images, the necessity for layout hints, and limitations regarding image size. Even with these limitations, it is expected that large language models and vision transformers will play an important role to make historical documents more accessible for further processing, or directly to users.

Law enforcement agencies continue to deploy new surveillance, identification and tracking technologies that tend to intrude on privacy. These include Wi-Fi-based location tracking methods that take advantage of the fact that Wi-Fi enabled devices exchange data with each other even when they are not connected. At very short intervals, probe requests are sent to all surrounding devices. The contents of the data packets include the MAC addresses and preferred SSID lists, which can provide information about the daily behaviour of the users. The scenario to be considered is initially limited and, due to technical and legal complexity, narrowed down to the domestic domain and the privacy issues are discussed using the example of intrusion detection. In view of the difficulty of defining the perimeter, the spatial and temporal limitations depending on the personal data and, above all, the information obligations and opt-out solutions will be discussed.

In the context of digital transformation (DX) worldwide, the digitization of factory systems is advancing and digital connections between supply chains are increasing. For example, sharing order and delivery information and sharing CO2 emissions from factories as a decarbonization effort increases for achieving SDGs. With the increase in digital connections, the cybersecurity risks of factory systems are also increasing, and there have been many incidents of factories being shut down due to ransomware attacks. Large enterprises such as critical infrastructure (CI) can allocate budgets for cybersecurity and hire personnel, including outsourcing, but small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) making up the supply chain find it difficult to secure budgets and personnel. This paper presents a simplified and easy risk assessment method for factory systems using the checklist which has only 32 items from Japanese government. It provides support to SMES to improve their cybersecurity readiness of factory assets with lower cost. For the purpose, we newly developed the web based diagnostic tool of the checklist showing the risk score. We confirmed the tool provides the rough grasping of cybersecurity readiness from interviews. We also observed that 80% of the respondents indicate insufficient readiness. The easy risk visualization will help SMEs to allocate the appropriate budget and resources.

Emerging digital technologies, such as algorithms and machine learning, offer transformative opportunities to public sector organizations but also pose ethical risks and dilemmas. Public sector organizations adopting these technologies need to govern their ethical implications. This research provides insights into the emerging phenomena of digital ethics commissions within Dutch public sector organizations. Composed of external experts on ethics, technology, and governance, these commissions are meant to reflect, advise, and, in some cases, assess the ethical design and use of emerging digital technology and the governance thereof. Through interviews and document analysis, this research explores the motivations, intentions, and perceptions guiding these commissions. Our preliminary findings suggest that, while digital ethics commissions are meant to convey legitimacy, they can also provide external knowledge, open the organizations for reflection from and with society, and contribute to different types of control. In establishing these commissions, government organizations need to balance the formalization of digital ethics governance with the need for a collaborative and reflective ethical practice conducive to (organizational) learning and ethics as contextual practice. This research contributes empirical insights into how public sector organizations address ethical challenges from emerging digital technologies, offering valuable implications for both practitioners and scholars in the field of public administration.

Online video learning platforms have broadened access to learning but often struggle to offer personalized, context-sensitive support when learners encounter complex, tightly-knit concepts, particularly from the STEM fields. This paper presents Curio, a novel help-seeking system capable of being integrated into existing video learning environments. Utilizing a platform-agnostic approach, Curio leverages Tesseract OCR and GPT-4 to provide real-time, personalized video recommendations and concept explanations. When confronted with complex content, learners can "capture" any on-screen text-based elements to instantly receive targeted assistance and continue their educational journey without diverting their focus to external resources. A controlled user study, comprising both quantitative measurements and qualitative interviews, was conducted with twenty-two participants to assess Curio's efficacy in enhancing help-seeking experiences. The study revealed that Curio reduced the friction and decreased mental workload involved in the help-seeking process while maintaining effectiveness. A post-hoc analysis further revealed a correlation between learners' prior knowledge and their performance with Curio.

Designers or consumers cannot easily identify their preferred designs from such a large searching space of designs. Thus, the problem of this research is how designers or consumers generate designs based on their touch-feeling Kansei vocabularies. This research features a Kansei vocabulary experiment in which critical form-related parameters of bottles are imported into the Grasshopper platform for the creation of experimental samples that respond to user touch-feelings in product forms. The generative design system outcomes reflect consumers' tactile perceptual needs, and the associated Kansei vocabulary can be deployed as vectors for executing bottle modifications. Thus, designers and users can benefit from a faster, more straightforward, and more intuitive process to create product designs tailored to consumers' touch-feeling preferences.

The notion of design thinking initiates discussions regarding its process and practices in many fields, including education. However, the design thinking process within the architectural domain and among architectural design students has not been sufficiently addressed in education and scientific research. This study explores the design thinking process of the design students while working in a conventional design studio context, further, expanding towards exploring the influences which could be made by ICT tools to the design process adopted by students. For this study, twenty-five interior design undergraduates were selected through convenient sampling technique. The students were divided into five random groups and were assigned with a design task to engage. Conventional design studio at NSBM Green University, Sri Lanka was utilized as the study context. Each study was conducted through three studio days with six hours allocated per day. Datawas collected using naturalistic observation, focus group interviews, narrative samplings, and photographs to ensure the credibility of the data by adopting multiple data collection techniques. Six phased thematic analysis was utilized for data analysis. Results have shown that ICT tools have facilitated students to start their design thinking process from Ideation. Empathizing phase was critically neglected by students as a result, and we identified it as a major problem which needs further research.

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has reshaped educational environments, presenting both opportunities and challenges in enhancing student engagement and communication. Despite these technological strides, a critical gap remains in facilitating effective and respectful discourse, escalated by the rise of toxic discourse. This paper introduces the Receptivity, a novel educational technology concept designed to bridge this gap through an innovative, color-coded feedback system that allows teachers and students to communicate emotional and cognitive states in real time, fostering a respectful and inclusive conversational climate. Grounded in human-centered design principles and the concept of reflexivity in student engagement, Receptivity emphasizes the importance of immediate, non-intrusive feedback mechanisms. Our methodology employs an iterative development process, incorporating direct user engagement and expert consultations to refine the app's functionalities. Preliminary testing indicates that Receptivity enhances the quality of educational discussions, promoting a more adaptive learning environment. This work contributes to the discourse on digital behavior change interventions and student engagement, offering a fresh perspective on leveraging technology to improve educational outcomes. The paper discusses the implications of Receptivity for teaching and learning practices, highlighting its potential to transform educational experiences through enhanced communication and reflexivity.
