A global experiment on motivating social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic
2022
Significance\ud \ud Communicating in ways that motivate engagement in social distancing remains a critical global public health priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study tested motivational qualities of messages about social distancing (those that promoted choice and agency vs. those that were forceful and shaming) in 25,718 people in 89 countries. The autonomy-supportive message decreased feelings of defying social distancing recommendations relative to the controlling message, and the controlling message increased controlled motivation, a less effective form of motivation, relative to no message. Message type did not impact intentions to socially distance, but people’s existing mo…

MQ, MUSEUM QUARTIER, WIEN
2009
Con l’articolo che segue si apre una nuova sezione della rivista dedicata al design della comunicazione, che offrirà al lettore uno spazio di conoscenza e riflessione su temi che riguardano in vario modo la comunicazione visiva e il sistema dei beni culturali. Tema importante e attuale del quale mi occupo ormai da parecchi anni, sia in termini di didattica sia in termini di ricerca, e che mi ha condotto alla pubblicazione del libro La comunicazione dei beni culturali, edito da Lupetti. Gli articoli riguarderanno le principali realtà museali o i luoghi della cultura, a livello nazionale e internazionale, e la descrizione dei sistemi di identità visiva da loro adottati. In questo cercherò sem…
Crystal structures of pure 3-(4-bromo-2-chlorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazin-4(3H)-one and contaminated with 3-(4-b…

The side product of the cyclocondensation reaction between ethyl benzimidazole-2-carboxylate and the nitrile imine of the corresponding hydrazonyl chloride, C20H11BrClN5O, crystallized in two crystal forms. Form (1) is a co-crystal of the target compound (without any chlorine substituent) and a side product containing a Cl atom in position 2 of the bromophenyl group, C20H12BrN5O·0.143C20H11BrClN5O. (2) contains the pure side product. The slightly different conformation of the ring systems leads to a different packing of (1) and (2), but both crystal structures are dominated by p-p interactions.
Computer-Mediated Communication, Social Media, and Mental Health: A Conceptual and Empirical Meta-Review
2020
Computer-mediated communication (CMC), and specifically social media, may affect the mental health (MH) and well-being of its users, for better or worse. Research on this topic has accumulated rapidly, accompanied by controversial public debate and numerous systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Yet, a higher-level integration of the multiple disparate conceptual and operational approaches to CMC and MH and individual review findings is desperately needed. To this end, we first develop two organizing frameworks that systematize conceptual and operational approaches to CMC and MH. Based on these frameworks, we integrate the literature through a meta-review of 34 reviews and a content analysi…
Kan brist i alarmkjeden unngås? : Delphistudie med funn av faktorer som er viktige for kvalitetssikring i et velferdsteknologisk responssenter
2016
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 The future brings with it an increased number of elderly in need of aid or assistance. One way of meeting these challenges is an increased usage of healthcare technological solutions. Through media, it is illustrated that there have been several unfortunate incidents related to the handling of personal alarm systems. This has happened not only when receiving an alarm at the responsecenter, but also with the turn-out at the place of emergency. The goal with this study is to identify important factors that are necessary to secure the quality at the responsecenters when the alarms are received and how they are forwarded a…
Tout le savoir du monde
2010
39317 signes; International audience; Méconnu aujourd'hui, le Belge Paul Otlet (1868-1944) devrait pourtant être considéré comme le fondateur des sciences de l'information et de la communication. Les visions fulgurantes d'Otlet, son travail acharné pour mettre de l'ordre dans le savoir humain, sa conception d'une technique au service du rapprochement (entre les individus, entre les peuples...) et non de l'exclusion, cela mérite un retour sur son oeuvre. Correspondance échangée entre Otlet et le pédagogue Freinet.
Electrochemical ecology: VIMP monitoring of plant defense against external stressors
2015
The use of the voltammetry of immobilized particles (VIMP) approach, by means of the voltammetric response of microparticulate films from ethanolic leaf extracts in contact with aqueous electrolytes and direct contact probe leaf voltammetry, to monitor the defense of plants against external stressors is described. This approach is applied to study the chemical communication between plants of Peperomia obtusifolia A. Dietr. submitted to herbivory by the beetle Monoplatus sp.
E-government in Tanzania: Current Status and Future Challenges
2012
Article from the book: Electronic Government. Also available from SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33489-4_17 The public sector plays an important role in the economic growth and development of developing countries. The application of modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) may help improve the public sector by contributing to new services and processes that address citizens as well as government-to-government services, involve citizens more directly in decisions being made, and contribute to streamlining work processes and standardizations needed to develop a well-functioning public sector. Research focusing on E-government in developing countries is still …
Determinants of the Mating Success of Polyterritorial Pied Flycatcher Males
2010
Much attention has been paid to the polyterritorial mating system of some passerine birds. Here we report how a male's mating success is related to the behavioral traits of polyterritorial pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) males. We found no evidence that the timing of polyterritoriality in relation to egg laying in the primary nest or the singing behavior of males have any influence on mating success. However, results show clearly that male mating success was improved with an increase in the distance between territories up to a distance of about 200–300 m whereupon there was no further enhancement of mating success. This finding is crucial for both the deception hypothesis and female-fe…
