The existence of Internet revolutionized the computer and communications world. With the rising demand for accessing the Internet, the mobile technology has incorporated the use of Internet in mobile phones. Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) has combined two of the widest utilized technology today: mobile phones and Internet. This study aims to assess the existing WAP pages offered by the top service providers in the Philippines through usability testing experiments. The paper also aims to identify existing problems in WAP interface by focusing on the errors committed by the users. From the usability study, it was found out that common usability problems are wrong selection of links, unclear grouping of categories, wrong feedback, and redundant links. The type of service provider used is significant in determining the performance of users while experience in accessing WAP is insignificant.

Purpose: The physical therapy diagnosis process requires high-level background knowledge, the ability to obtain added information from patients, accurate examination skills, and a framework for transforming thoughts into a diagnostic decision. Thus, the physical therapy diagnostic process is highly complicated and difficult work. To function as autonomous professionals, physical therapists must develop effective clinical diagnosis skills. As such, mobile application aids can help with accurate and scientific diagnoses. Therefore, this study aims to develop and evaluate the usability of a mobile application for physical therapy diagnoses. Methods: In this study, a diagnostic application was developed using App Inventor, the development environment was the Chrome web browser for Windows 10, and the mobile application was run on a Google Pixel 5. The developed application was evaluated for usability by 20 physical therapists with more than 5 years of clinical experience in the musculoskeletal physical therapy field, and a usability evaluation was conducted using a 5-point Likert scale for accuracy, convenience, satisfaction, and usability. The collected Likert scores were converted into percentages and analyzed as descriptive statistics. Results: The graphical user interface consisted of an initial screen with program guidance, 18 screens presenting the algorithm, and 12 screens presenting the estimated diagnosis based on the algorithm. As such, the usability evaluation of the developed application was as follows: accuracy 100%, convenience 90%, satisfaction 91%, and usability 88%. Conclusion: The newly developed mobile application for physical therapeutic diagnoses has a high accuracy, and it will aid in building an easy and reliable physical therapy diagnosis system.

Objective: Purposes of this study are selecting main factors in evaluating the usability of mobile navigation and comprehending mutual importance among the factors. Background: Mobile navigation services have been more diffused than ever as the number of smartphone users sharply increased. However users are having trouble with the usage of mobile navigation services due to the lack of research in the area. Method: In order to attain results, general research on mobile navigation, 1st general survey, and 2nd comparative survey on navigation UI experts were performed. Empirical studies about the results were performed using AHP method. Results: As the result of AHP analysis, accuracy was drawn out to be the most important factor followed by accessibility and visibility. Regarding the characteristics of navigation system, the provision of accurate POI(Point of Interest) was considered to be the most important factor for the experts. And effectiveness was considered to be the most important, followed by satisfaction and efficiency. Conclusion: When evaluating the usability of mobile navigation, prior factors such as accuracy, visibility, and aesthetics should be considered in advance and general evaluation concentrated on effectiveness must be performed. Application: The results of this study are expected to be a fundamental data to mobile navigation design.

India is having a high growth rate of Mobile subscribers which has opened up a new marketing channel of communication with customers. There is a need to study the factors affecting Mobile user's attitude towards Mobile marketing and the relationship between these factors. To study the mobile users attitude towards mobile marketing 489 mobile users opinion is taken on 12 statements for a period of 5 months. Using factor analysis method these 12 statements are grouped into 5 groups they are Mobile advertisement, Mobile Usability, Mobile Promotions, Mobiles shopping and Mobile Marketing. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed to confirm the findings. SPSS Statistics 17.0 is used to conduct factor analysis and the validity of the model. Once the model was validated, SPSS Amos 18.0 was used to fit a model based on Structure Equation Model to analyze the factors affecting Mobile user's attitude and the relationship between these factors. The present study revealed that Mobile Advertisement and Mobile Sales Promotion are having positive effect on Mobile Marketing where as Mobile Shopping and Mobile Phone Usability is having negative effect on Mobile Marketing. The impact of indicators like Mobile Phone user's permission and personalization of Mobile Phone communication on Mobile Marketing are also discussed in this article.

In order to truly integrate e-Learning system into regular curriculum at a university, mobile access to Learning Management Systems has to be enabled. Mobile devices have the potential to be integrated into the classroom, because they contain unique characteristics such as portability, social interactivity, context sensitivity, connectivity and individuality. Adoption of Learning Management Systems by students is still on the low rate, mostly because of poor usability of existing e-Learning systems. Our initial research has confirmed this hypothesis. Usability issue is rising to the higher level on the mobile platform, because of the mobile devices' limited screen size, input interfaces and bandwidth, and also because of the context of use. Our second hypothesis was that it is wrong to consider a mobile device as a surrogate for desktop or laptop personal computer (PC). By just adopting the existing Learning Management System on mobile devices with adaptive technologies such as Google proxy, we do not acquire the satisfactory results. Usability can prove to be even lower compared to desktop application. One possible solution to the problem could be development of rich client applications for today's mobile devices that would raise the usability to a higher level. We developed a PocketPC prototype application by using user-centered design principles, which we presented as a third alternative in usability research conducted among university students. Results gathered in such a way have confirmed that development of e-Learning system, in order to be widely accepted by students, needs to have the user(student) in the center of development process.

비대면 거래 활성화로 증권사 간 영업점포 규모나 거래 비용면의 차별성은 줄어들고 증권거래 시스템에 대한 중요성이 높아졌다. 특히 개인 투자자들이 많이 사용하는 모바일 트레이딩 시스템의 거래 비중 증가와 코로나19 이후 개인 투자자의 증가로 모바일 트레이딩 시스템은 더욱 중요해졌다. 하지만 모바일 트레이딩 시스템에 관한 사용성 연구는 문헌조사나 설문조사방법으로 진행되어 사용자 중심의 사용성 연구는 부족하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사용자 중심의 사용성 속성을 알아보기 위해 사용자의 경험적 인식을 찾아내는 레퍼토리 그리드 기법을 사용하였다. 사용자 관점의 모바일 트레이딩 시스템 사용성 속성을 도출하고 사용자 그룹과 개발자 그룹간의 빈도와 중요도 측면에서 사용성 속성 차이를 확인하였다.
