Understanding the Determinants of Developers’ Satisfaction and Adoption of Copilots
Leveraged by recent advances in generative models, Artificial Intelligence assistants, such as GitHub Copilot, promise to change the way developers do their work, and in consequence increase human’s productivity. This thesis proposes a theoretical model based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to identify and investigate the determinants influencing user satisfaction and actual use of Copilots. To perform the quantitative research, a survey destined to programming students and developers was developed, collecting a total of 144 valid answers. The partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to explore the data and assess the research model.The results suggest that 52% of user satisfaction can be explained by both perceived learning and perceived productivity. Additionally, the proposed model highlights that 53% of use and adoption of copilots is explained by facilitating conditions and user satisfaction. The results provide significant insights in the adoption of Copilots in the software engineering field as programmers use the tool mainly for productivity reasons.

Gender and Professional Ethics in the IT Industry
In this paper, we discuss the ethical responsibility of the Information Technology (IT) industry towards its female workforce. Although the growing IT industry experiences skills shortages, there is a declining trend in the representation of women. The paper presents evidence that the IT industry is not gender-neutral and that it does little to promote or retain its female workforce. We urge that professional codes of ethics in IT should be revised take into account the diverse needs of its staff.

The new electronic relations have brought as much benefits as duties. The society uses more often computers in every day life than ever. Unfortunately, cyberspace bounds are huge and its regulation is very complicated. In many cases the users are responsible for his security. That is why Electronic Law knowledge is useful and important for the new society.
The most powerful computer and net users are those who are educated in Computer Science. Various authorities in the field of Computer Science education are urging the necessity of topics on legal regulation of the electronic society. Several universities in Latvia starting from the 2002/2003 study year have implemented a new course on ``IT Industry Standards, Legislation, Labour Protection and Ergonomics''. The topic is extended considering the students being programmers, computer users and hired workers.
This paper describes the demand for teaching the legal regulation of electronic processes to Computer Science students, gives and overview of the course preparation, teaching and findings received from the first year experience.

Medische professionaliteit en recht
Dit afscheidscollege gaat over de verhouding tussen enerzijds beroepsnormen en -ethiek (het domein van de professie) en anderzijds recht en maatschappij (het domein van wetgever en rechter). Hoofdvraag is of voldoende verzekerd is dat artsen (kunnen) handelen conform de kernwaarden van hun beroep. Aan de hand van een aantal voorbeelden geeft Gevers aan dat die kernwaarden ook in de huidige maatschappij wel degelijk in de knel kunnen komen. In wezen gaat het betoog over het belang van professies in onze samenleving en de rol van het recht in de regulering daarvan. Conclusie is dat rechtsregels de eigen normativiteit van de medische professie niet kunnen vervangen, maar wel kunnen bijdragen aan bewaking van de kernwaarden van het beroep en zo kunnen helpen om aan het sociaal contract tussen geneeskunde en samenleving gestalte te geven.

Superheroes Teach Ethics
Teaching ethics to information technology professionals many not be quite as hard as presenting the same concepts to auditors or politicians, but it's apparently difficult to hold their interest. In a desperate attempt to gain the attention of his students, John Lenarcic, who is a lecturer in Business Information Technology at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, is bringing in comic book superheroes, such as Batman, Spiderman, and Wolverine, to encourage students to explore their own responsibilities to society and the moral implications of the power they will wield as IT professionals.
