Abstract
Good spatial skills are of particular importance in STEM domains. For the training of spatial skills, smartphones provide a promising platform because of their high dissemination. Additionally, new frameworks make it easy to develop and use augmented reality (AR) contents. To examine the potential of AR for the training of spatial skills, we developed a prototype of a smartphone app for the solving of cross section tasks.The prototype was tested in a user study with 32 university students. It was compared against a second prototype with a classical Arcball interaction. For both prototypes, success rates were equally high. However, 3D-objects could be rotated faster using the AR-app. For the AR-app, participants reported higher scores regarding innovation and motivation but also for physical demands. This is especially interesting because motor activity and spatial skills are highly connected. Therefore, the physical approach might be promising for the development of spatial skill training apps which might lead to good long-term training results.

Abstract
This is the first annual state of logistics report for Namibia - Namibia State of Logistics Report 2018 or NSoL in short. The report provides a comprehensive review of the current state of logistics in Namibia, with a focus on the macroeconomic environment as well as domestic and international logistics performance. The necessity to examine logistics performance derives from the notion that a competitive and efficient logistics sector is vital for Namibia’s economy and is a vital component of trade and development. Thus, the NSoL report 2018 documents the size and contribution of logistics, its linkages to business cycles and the consequences of regulation, policies and decisions which affect its performance.

Abstract
With the development of modern geovisual analytics tools, several researchers have emphasized the importance of understanding users cognitive, perceptual, and affective tendencies for supporting spatial decisions with geographic information displays (GIDs). However, most recent technological developments have focused on support for navigation in terms of efficiency and effectiveness while neglecting the importance of spatial learning. In the present paper, we will envision the future of GIDs that also support spatial learning in the context of large-scale navigation. Specifically, we will illustrate the manner in which GIDs have been (in the past) and might be (in the future) designed to be context-responsive, personalized, and supportive for active spatial learning from three different perspectives (i.e., GIScience, cartography, and cognitive science). We will also explain why this approach is essential for preventing the technological infantilizing of society (i.e., the reduction of our capacity to make decisions without technological assistance). Although these issues are common to nearly all emerging digital technologies, we argue that these issues become especially relevant in consideration of a person s current and future locations.
