On some aspects of Borel-Moore homology in motivic homotopy : weight and Quillen’s G-theory
2016
The theme of this thesis is different aspects of Borel-Moore theory in the world of motives. Classically, over the field of complex numbers, Borel-Moore homology, also called “homology with compact support”, has some properties quite different from singular homology. In this thesis we study some generalizations and applications of this theory in triangulated categories of motives.The thesis is composed of two parts. In the first part we define Borel-Moore motivic homology in the triangulated categories of mixed motives defined by Cisinski and Déglise and study its various functorial properties, especially a functoriality similar to the refined Gysin morphism defined by Fulton. These results…
Sex and Sexuality
2021
Abstract Symbolic interactionist approaches to sexuality state that human beings become sexual as they become whatever else and learn sexual definitions and sexual meanings just like they learn any other kind of meaning. Therefore, interactionist analysis shifts the focus of inquiry into sex from being sexual towards becoming sexual, which takes into account how sexualities are produced, organized, and negotiated, rather than tracing their sources in an immutable (conception of) nature. Sociosexual meanings give people the chance to define themselves and others sexually, to construct their sexual self and doing sexual things together in the shaping of more complex sexual choreographies and …
Measuring Achievement, Affiliation, and Power Motives in Mobility Situations: Development of the Multi-Motive Grid Mobility
2022
The current study introduces the Multi-Motive Grid Mobility (MMG-M) in an age-stratified sample (N = 206) that aims to disentangle six motive components – hope of success, hope of affiliation, hope of power, fear of failure, fear of rejection, and fear of power – in mobility-related and mobility-unrelated scenarios. Similar to the classical Multi-Motive Grid (MMG), we selected 14 picture scenarios representing seven mobility and seven non-mobility situations. The scenarios were combined with 12 statements from the MMG. Both the MMG-M and MMG were assessed to allow comparability between psychometric criteria. The results of confirmatory factor analyses yielded a good model fit for a six-fact…
How cyber breeds crime and criminals
2014
Understanding how cyber breeds novel crime and new criminals is a contribution to criminological models with significant applied value. It is highly important for law enforcement and particularly pivotal for preventive intervention. In this paper we propose a human rights-based crime definition, present explanatory models for cybercrime, and outline future arenas and drivers to suggest to the stakeholder community prevention focuses and priorities. The presented work ultimately aims towards supporting two crime preventive design initiatives, one targeted at accounting for and narrowing the cybercriminal space of means, opportunities, and motives; the other aiming at augmenting early and pro…
Player perceptions of informal learning in non-educational games
2022
The potential of non-educational games in learning is well-established, but there have been relatively few empirical studies attempting to explore the kinds of informal learning take place in non-educational games outside of formal education. Simultaneously, student motivation is known to have a connection to learning outcomes, but there is a lack of research on the relationship between gaming motivations and informal learning in games. This paper aims to fill the gap in research by, firstly, forming an empirically-based understanding of what players perceive they are learning from playing non-educational games, and secondly, exploring the potential connections of self-articulated learning …
The Development of Intercultural Relationships at Work: Polish Migrant Workers in Finland
2013
This article offers an interpersonal communication perspective on relational processes in a workplace affected by the international flow of labor migration. We investigate how temporary migrant workers and their foreign colleagues perceive developing interpersonal relationships with each other through an analysis of in-depth interviews with employees of a Finnish recruitment agency and Polish metal workers it has recruited. The recruitment agents talk about their relationships with the recruited Polish workers; the Polish workers also describe their relationships with their Finnish colleagues at the customer company. The context under investigation emerges as rich in relational processes. T…
About time
2019
Purpose The purpose of this paper seeks to develop a motivation-based complementary framework for temporally dynamic user preferences to facilitate optimal timing in web personalisation. It also aims to highlight the benefits of considering user motivation when addressing issues in temporal dynamics. Design/methodology/approach Through theory, a complementary framework and propositions for motivation-based temporal dynamics for further testing are created. The framework is validated by feeding back findings, whereas some of the propositions are validated through an experiment. Findings The suggested framework distinguishes two ways (identifying/learning and shifting) of using a motive-base…
Partneru laulību motīvi un apmierinātība ar attiecībām pārī ģimenes pirmajā dzīves ciklā
2020
Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt vīriešu un sieviešu laulības slēgšanas motīvus un apmierinātību ar attiecībām ģimenes dzīves pirmajā ciklā. Pētījuma mainīgie lielumi ir laulības slēgšanas motīvi un apmierinātība ar attiecībām laulībā. Lai atbildētu uz pētījuma jautājumiem “Kādi ir galvenie motīvi, pēc kuriem vadās sievietes un vīrieši, stājoties laulībā?”, “Vai pastāv atšķirības starp laulības stāšanas motīviem sievietēm un vīriešiem?” un “Vai pastāv sakarības starp laulības stāšanas motīviem un pirms laulības pavadīto laiku?” izmantota aptauja par laulības motīviem (izstrādājušas S. Sebre, L. Ļebedeva, I. Trapenciere 2004.g. pētījumā „Laulību, dzimstības un pozitīvu bērnu un vecāku attiecību ve…
Sociālās trauksmes saistība ar alkohola lietošanas pazīmēm un motīviem
2017
Pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt saistības starp sociālo trauksmi, alkohola lietošanas motīviem un alkohola lietošanai raksturīgajām pazīmēm. Pētījuma grupu veidoja 71 respondents, no kuriem 43 bija sievietes (61%) un 28 vīrieši (39%). Vidējais dalībnieka vecums ir 24 gadi (M=23,75, SD=4,09). Grupas dalībnieku vecums variē no 20 līdz 46 gadiem. Vīriešu vidējais vecums ir 25 gadi (M=24,7, SD=5,09), taču sieviešu vidējais vecums ir 23 gadi (M=23,12, SD=3,19). Sociālā trauksme tika mērīta ar Sociālās trauksmes aptauju (Social interaction anxiety scale). Alkohola lietošanas motīvi tika mērīti ar Alkohola lietošanas motīvu aptauju (The Drinking Motives Questionnaire – Revised), kuras apakšskalas ir …
