Organizational culture as a primary driver for utilizing big data analytics in organizations

2019

Master's thesis Information Systems IS501 - University of Agder 2019 Context:During this last decade we have witnessed a wave of digital disruption, where big data has had a central part. This has gotten many organizations to pay attention and investing in analytic tools for big data. Big data analytics can provide organizations with more knowledge from more data sources that can have a big impact on how organizations act. Many of the organizations that have purchased big data analytics have failed to derive benefits from it and this is demonstratedin the literature. Organizational culture is mentioned as being an important part of achieving success when adopting big data.Purpose: The purpo…

Three beta-decaying states in 128In and 130In resolved for the first time using Penning-trap techniques

2020

Isomeric states in 128In and 130In have been studied with the JYFLTRAP Penning trap at the IGISOL facility. By employing state-of-the-art ion manipulation techniques, three different beta-decaying states in 128In and 130In have been separated and their masses measured. JYFLTRAP was also used to select the ions of interest for identification at a post-trap decay spectroscopy station. A new beta-decaying high-spin isomer feeding the isomer in 128Sn has been discovered in 128In at 1797.6(20) keV. Shell-model calculations employing a CD-Bonn potential re-normalized with the perturbative G-matrix approach suggest this new isomer to be a 16⁺ spin-trap isomer. In 130In, the lowest-lying (10⁻) isom…

Effects of a Vibro-Tactile P300 Based Brain-Computer Interface on the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness

2020

Persons diagnosed with disorders of consciousness (DOC) typically suffer from motor and cognitive disabilities. Recent research has shown that non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help assess these patients’ cognitive functions and command following abilities. 20 DOC patients participated in the study and performed 10 vibro-tactile P300 BCI sessions over 10 days with 8–12 runs each day. Vibrotactile tactors were placed on the each patient’s left and right wrists and one foot. Patients were instructed, via earbuds, to concentrate and silently count vibrotactile pulses on either their left or right wrist that presented a target stimulus and to ignore …

Acceptability of the e-authentication in higher education studies: views of students with special educational needs and disabilities

2021

AbstractTrust-based e-assessment systems are increasingly important in the digital age for both academic institutions and students, including students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Recent literature indicates a growing number of studies about e-authentication and authorship verification for quality assurance with more flexible modes of assessment. Yet understanding the acceptability of e-authentication systems among SEND students is underexplored. This study examines SEND students’ views about the use of e-authentication systems, including perceived advantages and disadvantages of new technology-enhanced assessment. This study aims to shed light on this area by exa…

IMPLANTACIÓN INTERNACIONAL DE LOS MINORISTAS DE MODA MULTICANAL: CAPACIDADES DINÁMICAS E INCRUSTACIÓN EN LOS MERCADOS

2017

Para estudiar la actividad internacional de las empresas minoristas de moda proponemos un marco que analiza las diferentes dimensiones de 'incrustación' en los mercados exteriores con las capacidades dinámicas. Partiendo de nueve entrevistas en profundidad a directivos de empresas del sector, obtenemos que cada dimensión de incrustación se apoya en diferentes capacidades dinámicas. La social requiere capacidades de construcción de marca que interactúen con las capacidades de gestión del canal y de gestión del conocimiento; la relacional está respaldada por las capacidades de gestión de los canales, mientras que la territorial lo está también por las capacidades de gestión de los canales. To…

The Neuropsychological Profile of Infantile Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

2011

It has been shown that children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) exhibit specific cognitive deficits. However, the neuropsychological profile has not yet been fully characterized. In order to control for the contribution of motor impairments as a confounding variable that is usually present when assessing children with muscular pathologies, we compared children with DMD to a group of children with an autoimmune pathology that does not entail either brain or cognitive dysfunction but does imply motor impairment: juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). An extensive neuropsychological evaluation was administered, including intelligence, perception, language, memory and learning, attention, …

How technology-based firms become also highly innovative firms? The role of knowledge, technological and managerial capabilities, and entrepreneurs’ …

2019

To what extent is the likelihood that a Technology-Based Firm – TBF – turns into a Technology-Based and Highly Innovative Firm – TB&InnF – is influenced by technical capabilities or managerial capabilities and education background? We analyse this question using a novel data panel assembled for 326 Spanish industrial firms, along the period 1998–2014. Our findings show the probability of becoming a TB&InnF growths when firms are able to accumulate a high endowment of knowledge and technological capabilities, and a managerial team with experience, a strong power position and previous technical or managerial education background. Results also indicate the CEO's educational profile in manageme…

QPO emission from moving hot spots on the surface of neutron stars: a model

2009

We present recent results of 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of neutron stars with small misalignment angles, as regards the features in lightcurves produced by regular movements of the hot spots during accretion onto the star. In particular, we show that the variation of position of the hot spot created by the infalling matter, as observed in 3D simulations, can produce high frequency Quasi Periodic Oscillations with frequencies associated with the inner zone of the disk. Previously reported simulations showed that the usual assumption of a fixed hot spot near the polar region is valid only for misalignment angles relatively large. Otherwise, two phenomena challenge the assumption: one …

Occupazione, profitto e capabilities in una professione tradizionalmente femminile

2021

Questo saggio si propone di fare una ricognizione degli studi che in Italia, a partire dagli anni Sessanta, hanno trattato il tema del Servizio sociale e della propria identità di genere. A tale scopo viene svolta una desk analysis e una literature review sul tema dei livelli occupazionali degli assistenti sociali che si incrocia inevitabilmente con quello del genere. Sotteso al tema occupazionale è quello ben più spinoso del posizionamento di ruolo negli organigrammi lavorativi dei professionisti e delle professioniste. La tematizzazione critica del gender mainstreaming come strategia di policy making interseca, infatti, il rapporto tra democrazia e potere, insieme alle ricadute e le impli…
