How does information technology-based service degradation influence consumers’ use of services? : An information technology-based service degradation…
2020
Information technology is crucial for modern services. Service delivery may include a complex mix of information technology and telecommunication providers, global networks and customers’ information technology devices. This research focuses on service failures that are caused by information technology problems, which we conceptualize as information technology-based service degradation (ITSD). When information technology-based service degradation occurs in a modern service, the information technology problem may originate from the service provider, another partner or any information technology equipment involved. But the customer may not be able to pinpoint the source of the problem immedia…
Käsityksiä yhteistoimijuudesta varhaiskasvatuksen toimintaympäristössä
2022
Kuntoutuksen ja kasvatuksen yhteistoiminnan on pitkään kuvattu olevan murrosvaiheessa, jossa yksilöasiantuntijuuteen perustuvista toimintamalleista pyritään kohti yhteistoimintaa ja lapsen arjessa tapahtuvaa kuntoutusta. Yhteistoimijuudella pyritään tuen oikea-aikaiseen tarjoamiseen lapselle siten, että siitä hyötyy koko varhaiskasvatusyhteisö. Tutkimustehtävänä oli kuvata ammattilaisten sekä lasten vanhempien käsityksiä yhteistoimijuudesta varhaiskasvatuksen yhteistoiminnassa. Aineisto kerättiin yksilöhaastatteluina (n = 10) osana kehittämishanketta varhaiskasvatusympäristössä, jossa oli pidempään toiminut yhteisöllinen puheterapeutti ja hankkeen ajan myös toimintaterapeutti. Aineisto ker…
Perfect Hashing Structures for Parallel Similarity Searches
2015
International audience; Seed-based heuristics have proved to be efficient for studying similarity between genetic databases with billions of base pairs. This paper focuses on algorithms and data structures for the filtering phase in seed-based heuristics, with an emphasis on efficient parallel GPU/manycores implementa- tion. We propose a 2-stage index structure which is based on neighborhood indexing and perfect hashing techniques. This structure performs a filtering phase over the neighborhood regions around the seeds in constant time and avoid as much as possible random memory accesses and branch divergences. Moreover, it fits particularly well on parallel SIMD processors, because it requ…
The Effect of Smartphone-Based Cognitive Training on the Functional/Cognitive Markers of Schizophrenia: A One-Year Randomized Study
2020
Background: Cognitive impairment is associated with long-term disability that results in the deterioration of both the social and professional status of individuals with schizophrenia. The impact of antipsychotic therapy on cognitive function is insufficient. Cognitive training is therefore proposed as a tool for cognitive rehabilitation in schizophrenia. In this study we investigated the effect of self-administered cognitive training using a smartphone-based application on the cognitive function of paranoid schizophrenia patients focusing on response time, correct answer rate, incorrect answer rate, and fatigability to check, if these functions can be functional markers of successful cogni…
Parental Attitudes toward Videogames at School
2019
Despite research having highlighted the positive outcomes of the use of videogames to learn, their integration into school contexts remains rare. Literature recognizes the importance of user’s technology acceptance to predict the intention to use and the adoption of new technology in several settings. So far, investigations have primarily focused on students’ and teachers’ opinions, while only a few studies have considered the role of parents. This study aimed to investigate the role of the dimensions of the technology acceptance model on parental preference (254 Italian parents) for the adoption of videogames in primary or secondary schools. Results revealed that 71% of the variance of par…
Giving patients secure " google-like " access to their medical record
2008
International audience; The main problem for the patient who wants to have access to all of the information about his health is that this information is very often spread over many medical records. Therefore, it would be convenient for the patient, after being identified and authenticated, to use a kind of specific medical search engine as one part of the solution to this main problem. The principal objective is for the patient to have access to his or her medical information at anytime and wherever it has been stored. This proposal for secure "Google Like" access requires the addition of different conditions: very strict identity checks using cryptographic techniques such as those planned …
The BIM (Building Information Modeling)-Based Approach for Road Pavement Maintenance
2019
The recent developments of road pavement survey technologies guarantee acquisition of detailed data regarding the main functional and structural indicators, at a very high frequency and levels of accuracy and precision unconceivable few years ago. The relevant information, regarding surface distresses too, is thus available in economical, high-speed and high-resolution forms, with limited disturbance on traffic and road agencies issues. However, the availability of such a mass of data poses interesting questions concerning the most efficient processing and analysis methods, for optimizing maintenance operation planning. Unfortunately, the PMS adoption is not very common and widespread, as t…

Learning games and children's user experience : the effects of context
2015
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia, onko lasten käyttäjäkokemuksissa eroja heidän pelatessa digitaalista peliä kahdessa eri kontekstissa. Käyttäjäkokemuk-sia selvitettiin myös tarkastelemalla pelaajien flow kokemuksia. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin MinecraftEdu peliä, joka on TeacherGaming LLC yrityksen tekemä vi-rallinen opetusversio Minecraft pelistä. Pelaamisen kontekstit, jossa peliä pelat-tiin, olivat kouluaika ja vapaa-aika. Erilaisista konteksteista johtuen sekä ulkoiset tekijät että myös sisäiset tekijät kuten, päämäärät, tavoitteet, ja motivaatio vaihtelevat. Tutkimuksessa käytetyt metodit koostuivat ääneen ajattelun, obser-voinnin ja kyselyjen yhdistelmistä. Kontekstilla näytti oleva…
Cyber security exercise : Literature review to pedagogical methodology
2019
This paper is a literature review, where we try to find out pedagogical principles has used in different virtual or simulated industry learning environments. The purpose is to use these findings to create in the future a new model for teaching in cyber security exercises. Cyber security exercises are the major service at JYVSECTEC - Jyväskylä Security Technology, cyber security research, training and development center in Finland [1]. JYVSECTEC Cyber security exercises are executed in real life simulation environment, RGCE (Realistic Global Cyber Environment) [1]. It provides the same functionality as the real Internet, but it is isolated from the real Internet and fully controlled by JYVSE…
