INTRODUCTION TO WEARABLE HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY
2017
Teknologian nopea kehitys on mahdollistanut ennennäkemättömän pienten tietokoneiden valmistuksen. Puettavat teknologiat käyttävät hyväkseen näitä pieniä puettavia laitteita, joilla on tarkoitus parantaa elämänlaatua. Puettavien teknologialaitteiden määrän kasvun on odotettu saavuttavan miljardin laitteen rajan vuoden 2022 tienoilla. Koska terveydenhuolto hyötyy teknologian kehityksestä, se on oiva kohde puettavan teknologian hyödylliseen käyttöön. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on luoda yleislaatuinen selvitys puettavista teknologioista, niiden antamista mahdollisuuksista ja riskitekijöistä terveydenhuollon alalla. Aiemmat tutkimukset asiasta ovat keskittyneet lähinnä puettavan teknologian …
Les coopérations de proximité dans l'Arc jurassien franco-suisse : Un enjeu de la cohésion sociale transfrontalière
2017
Un certain nombre de coopérations s’établissent plus ou moins spontanément de part et d’autre de la frontière franco-suisse dans l’Arc jurassien. En général de petite taille, visibles ou non aux échelles locales, elles présentent, selon nous, un grand intérêt dans le cadre de la mise en place d’un sentiment communautaire dans l’Arc jurassien. En effet, le devenir de cet espace transfrontalier doit s’ancrer dans le partage des valeurs des deux pays frontaliers afin d’endiguer les risques de repli identitaire. Dans sa stratégie de coopération transfrontalière 2016-2020, la Conférence Transjurassienne (CTJ) propose de promouvoir le sentiment d’une communauté de destin (CTJ, 2015), thématique é…
How to get things done in social virtual reality : A study of team cohesion in social virtual reality–enabled teams
2022
Social virtual reality (SVR) enables teams to operate in a virtual environment that simulates and enhances real-world interactions. However, there is an absence of empirical analysis of how SVR can affect the performance of virtual teams. This paper documents how SVR affects the formation of team cohesion (i.e., task cohesion and social cohesion), which is a critical success factor for team performance. To address this gap in the research, we conducted a qualitative study by interviewing 20 members from virtual teams assigned to perform a challenging collaborative task in SVR. As a contribution, our study identifies five primary affordances and 11 sub-affordances for team cohesion in SVR. W…

Network position and innovation capability in the regional innovation network
2019
This paper investigates the positioning of actors characterized by different natures in a regional innovation network and explores how these actors improve their innovation capabilities by assuming prominence or brokering positions. Innovation capability is widely seen to be the driving force in building regional competitive advantage, therefore investigating how the positioning of actors improves their innovation-related activities is relevant in terms of regional competitiveness. This paper builds on a survey conducted on the Sicilian regional area in Italy. A questionnaire was used to collect data concerning the relationships established between actors and the extent to which these relat…
The Role of Social Media in the Creation of Young People’s Consumer Identities
2023
This article explores how young people construct and express their consumer identities via their consumption styles on social media. The importance of commercial content on social media, such as the postings of social media influencers and advertisers, has been increasing during the past years. Framed by theories on social identity, social comparison and consumer socialization, we analysed focus group discussions with 15 to 19-year-old teenagers in Finland ( N = 35). The results reveal that the participants had a clear understanding of their consumer identities: what kind of consumers they were and what they did not want to be. The consumption styles: luxury brand-oriented, trendy second-h…
Escultores del sonido: prácticas musicales creativas como elemento de transformación social
2020
El principal objetivo de esta investigación es mostrar de qué manera los usos de la tecnología planteados por músicos sin formación académica (“no músicos”), ofrecen un nuevo marco para la transformación social a través de sus prácticas musicales creativas. Como metodología de trabajo se utilizó la investigación etnográfica y la muestra se conformó a través de trece participantes con perfiles profesionales y trayectorias vitales de gran diversidad, con un patrón de coincidencia común: no tener formación musical académica (conservatorio). Como instrumentos y técnicas se emplearon las propias de esta metodología: las entrevistas individuales y grupales, el análisis documental de plataformas d…
Cooperative sound design: a protocol analysis
2016
Formal protocol analysis and linkographic representations are well-established approaches in design cognition studies, in the visual domain. We introduce the method and tools in the auditory domain, by analysing a case of collaborative sound design. We show how they can provide relevant qualitative and quantitative information about the efficiency of the creative process.
The Dawn of the Human-Machine Era: A forecast of new and emerging language technologies
2021
New language technologies are coming, thanks to the huge and competing private investment fuelling rapid progress; we can either understand and foresee their effects, or be taken by surprise and spend our time trying to catch up. This report scketches out some transformative new technologies that are likely to fundamentally change our use of language. Some of these may feel unrealistically futuristic or far-fetched, but a central purpose of this report - and the wider LITHME network - is to illustrate that these are mostly just the logical development and maturation of technologies currently in prototype. But will everyone benefit from all these shiny new gadgets? Throughout this report we …
