“…This evidence also coincides with the findings of the Qlik and Accenture report (2020), which indicated that professionals who experience PDO manifested feeling stressed. PDO as a potential source of TS can be explained by the fact that one of the most striking characteristics of electronic and computational devices is data generation (Groes, 2017;Chen et al, 2019). The widespread use of such Information Technology exposes the end-user to large amounts of data that, in a continuous experience, can result in high levels of cognitive load which is one of the main sources of stress in the workplace (Folkman et al, 1986a).…”

“…In the digital age, one of the characteristics that electronic and computational devices have in common is their potential to generate data. That said, TS can manifest itself when endusers receive a large amount of data (Groes, 2017;Chen et al, 2019;Stich et al, 2019). This is because the individual's perception of overload when it is faced with high loads of data can be considered a decision stressor since it affects its physiological and psychological aspects (Adya and Phillips-Wren, 2019).…”

PurposeConsidering the cognitive challenges associated with a data-rich business environment, this research aims to investigate the relationship between data literacy (DL), perceived data overload (PDO), and technostress (TS), besides the effect of these constructs on professional's individual performance (IP).Design/methodology/approachThrough survey research, the authors collected data from 321 professionals who work in data-rich and highly technological business environments. To test the hypotheses proposed, the authors developed the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) procedures.FindingsThe results showed that DL is positively associated with IP and negatively with PDO. PDO is positively associated with TS and negatively with IP. The authors found no significant negative association between TS and IP.Research limitations/implicationsWith this research, the authors seek to contribute to the gap in the literature concerning two cognitive challenges associated with data-rich business environments: PDO and TS, analyzing from the point of view of the individual, and highlighting the importance of DL in this context.Practical implicationsThe results can assist managers in effectively being concerned with the DL level of their workforce. This is important considering not only the professionals' IP but also the cognitive challenges such as PDO and TS.Originality/valueThe innovation of this study lies in the empirical analysis of DL in the business context and its relationship with two cognitive challenges inherent in data-rich environments: PDO, and TS. Besides, the authors highlight the importance of understanding such phenomena in terms of IP.

“…With the rapid flow of information in the current digital era, surely, it is no exaggeration if the term reading as a window to the world expanded again to read is the world's gate (Dias et al, 2017). That is, as a gate, the world of reading not only opens our eyes to look around more complexly but also by reading can make us more sensitive to simple things that have the potential to produce innovations or new experiences that are useful for others and the environment in any form (Groes, 2017).…”

This research discussed about the use of Three-Phase Reading Technique to improve the students ability in reading comprehension. One of the important goals of reading is to know the purpose of the text. This discussion was used to answer the research question is the use of three phase technique able to improve reading comprehension the Junior high school in Parepare?This research used a quasi-experimental method that applied a pre-test and post-test design. The data was analyzed by using t-test. The population of this research was the eight-year students of Junior high school Parepare in the academic year 2015/2016. The instruments of this research was reading comprehension test. The results of this study are all students in studying reading comprehension through three-phase reading techniques improved significantly. This indicates the mean score of the post-test of the experimental group is 82,67, while that of the control group is 37,00, and the mean score of students answer in questionnaire shows that the students are categorized as strongly interested (90,72). Moreover, the t-test denotes that the t-test value (10,61197) is greater than the t-table (1,677), suggesting that Ha was accepted. The result of this study may stimulate the students to study to be more interested and independent. This positive impact revealed at the mechanisms presentation of the three-phase technique of this study. This technique brings many chances the students to work in reading text independently. Furthermore, the teacher does not only make controlling but also the teacher gives feedback at the end of learning process.

“…in a book with that title, argues for a view of information as a cultural artefact, rooted in philosophy of language, and denying any real relation between Shannon information and thermodynamic entropy [43]. Clearly, such a viewpoint will not lend itself to development of any kind of integrated theory of information, nor will the increasingly prevalent use of information, entropy, and complexity, within literature (see, for example, the reviews by Hayles [44], and by Groes [45], although they are a further reminder of the increasing reach of these ideas). This increasing reach may be seen as an outworking of Luciano Floridi's The Fourth Revolution [46], as the centrality of information, and information technologies in our society is increasingly reflected in art and literature, and explicitly recognised in the work of creative artists; see, for example, the recent study by Gorichanaz [47].…”

Still Minding the Gap? Reflecting on Transitions between Concepts of Information in Varied Domains

This conceptual paper, a contribution to the tenth anniversary Special Issue of Information, gives a cross-disciplinary review of general and unified theories of information. A selective literature review is used to update a 2013 article on bridging the gaps between conceptions of information in different domains, including material from the physical and biological sciences, from the humanities and social sciences including library and information science, and from philosophy. A variety of approaches and theories are reviewed, including those of Brenner, Brier, Burgin and Wu, Capurro, Cárdenas-García and Ireland, Hidalgo, Hofkirchner, Kolchinsky and Wolpert, Floridi, Mingers and Standing, Popper, and Stonier. The gaps between disciplinary views of information remain, although there has been progress, and increasing interest, in bridging them. The solution is likely to be either a general theory of sufficient flexibility to cope with multiple meanings of information, or multiple and distinct theories for different domains, but with a complementary nature, and ideally boundary spanning concepts.
