This study tested how the mobile impulse buying(m-impulse buying) of fashion products was related to shopping motives and mobile applications(apps) browsing in the context of mobile shopping. A total of 316 self-administered questionnaires were obtained from college students who had experienced m-impulse buying of fashion products during the most recent six months. A structural equation model using a correlation matrix with maximum likelihood was estimated for examining the relationships among shopping motives(e.g., hedonic shopping motive and utilitarian shopping motive), apps browsing, and m-impulse buying of fashion products(e.g., fashion-oriented impulse buying and pure impulse buying) by AMOS 21.0. Findings showed that hedonic shopping motive and utilitarian shopping motive had significant effects on apps browsing in their mobile shopping. Apps browsing had a significant effect on fashion-oriented impulse buying, but did not significantly effect on pure impulse buying of fashion products. Additionally, the hedonic shopping motive had directly significant effects on both fashion-oriented impulse buying and pure impulse buying, whereas the utilitarian shopping motive significantly effected on only the pure impulse buying of fashion products in their shopping. This study suggests that the hedonic shopping motive played an important role to determine the m-impulse buying of fashion products and the utilitarian shopping motive played a role in activating apps browsing relevant to mobile shopping for fashion products. Managerial implications are discussed for retailers related to the fashion products in mobile shopping.

Recently, the number of mobile ransomware types has increased. Moreover, the number of cases of damage caused by mobile ransomware is increasing. Representative damage cases include encrypting files on the victim's smart device or making them unusable, causing financial losses to the victim. This study classifies ransomware apps by analyzing several representative ransomware apps to identify trends in the malicious behavior of ransomware. We present a technique for recovering from the damage, from a digital forensic perspective, using reverse engineering ransomware apps to analyze vulnerabilities in malicious functions applied with various cryptographic technologies. Our study found that ransomware applications are largely divided into three types: locker, crypto, and hybrid. In addition, we presented a method for recovering the damage caused by each type of ransomware app using an actual case. This study is expected to help minimize the damage caused by ransomware apps and respond to new ransomware apps.

This study's purpose is to examine the effects of mobile apps on learners' vocabulary acquisition and to analyze students' perceptions and opinions about the vocabulary app. To this end, this study set up a control group, which was given explicit instructions in the classroom by the instructor and an experimental group, which used a vocabulary app. The vocabulary acquisition test results suggested that the difference between the the two groups was insignificant. However, user satisfaction with regard to the mobile app was high, and the reasons given were the following: convenience, efficiency of memorizing, having fun while learning, and the app's interface. Based on these results, this study suggests that teachers should use mobile apps much more actively in classroom instruction, and encourge students to let apps play a more active role in their language studies.

The growth of mobile commerce (m-commerce) has been accelerated around the world. Why do e-retailers have to put a great deal of effort for the distribution of their mobile apps? The literature has paid little attention to the influence of the introduction of an e-commerce app on shopping behaviors of consumers. By analyzing the dataset of 2,342 users in Korea, this study aims to broaden our understanding of mobile shopping app usage across competing e-retailers and different channels. We found that a user's prior usage of a specific e-commerce mobile app increases her subsequent usage of its website through a mobile web browser. Thus, mobile apps do not cannibalize the mobile web channel, and there could be a complementary relationship. We also found that a user's usage of competitors' apps is positively associated with her subsequent usage of a specific e-commerce app. Because many consumers search products and compare prices across multiple e-retailers, having a mobile app helps an e-retailer be exposed to more potential consumers. This study is among the first to study the role of mobile apps in e-commerce by showing the dynamics of cross-channel and cross-vendor usage by a user.

Mobile Banking Applications (MBAPs) is one of the recent fads in mobile trading applications (Apps). MBAPs permit users to execute exchanges of money and many more whenever it might suit them; however, the primary issue for mobile banking Apps is usability. Hardly any investigation analyzes usability issues dependent on user's age, gender, exchanging accomplices, or experience. The purpose of this study is to determine the degree of usability issues, and experience of mobile banking users. The survey employs a quantitative method and performs user experiment on 240 participants with six different tasks on the application's interface. The post experiment survey is done with concerning participants. On the other hand, banking experts and Information Technology (IT) expert's group is also involved after the experiment. Expert's opinions about existing mobile banking Apps and suggestions for improving usability of MBAPs are collected through physical means (like questionnaire and interview) and online means like Google form. After that comparison of the opinions of users and experts about MBAPs is performed. The experimentation measures the tasks usability of various mobile banking apps with respect to its effectiveness, efficiency, trustfulness, learnability, memorability and satisfaction. The usability testing was led at different Universities and the outcomes acquired show that there are privacy and trust issues with their mobile banking apps. There is also a gap between users and experts which should be minimized by applying customized usability models, modes concept like other application software and also by adding complete features of banking in MBAPs. It will benefit mobile banking apps users, developers and usability engineers by providing user-friendly which are up to the mark of user's requirements.

As the usage of mobile devices extremely increases, malicious mobile apps(applications) that target mobile users are also increasing. It is challenging to detect these malicious apps using traditional malware detection techniques due to intelligence of today's attack mechanisms. Deep learning (DL) is an alternative technique of traditional signature and rule-based anomaly detection techniques and thus have actively been used in numerous recent studies on malware detection. In order to develop DL-based defense mechanisms against intelligent malicious apps, feeding recent datasets into DL models is important. In this paper, we develop a DL-based model for detecting intelligent malicious apps using KU-CISC 2018-Android, the most up-to-date dataset consisting of benign and malicious Android apps. This dataset has hardly been addressed in other studies so far. We extract OPcode sequences from the Android apps and preprocess the OPcode sequences using an N-gram model. We then feed the preprocessed data into LSTM and apply the concept of Information Gain to improve performance of detecting malicious apps. Furthermore, we evaluate our model with numerous scenarios in order to verify the model's design and performance.
