The Effects of General and Mobile Online Shopping Skilfulness and Multichannel Self-Efficacy on Consumer Showrooming Behaviour
2022
Although showrooming behaviour is a characteristic aspect of modern omnichannel retailing, our understanding of its antecedents remains limited. In this study, we aim to address this gap in prior research by examining how showrooming behaviour is affected by three different kinds of perceived consumer capabilities: general online shopping skilfulness, mobile online shopping skilfulness, and multichannel self-efficacy. The examination is done by utilising data from 1,024 Finnish consumers, which was collected with an online survey in 2021 and is analysed with structural equation modelling (SEM). In summary, we find mobile online shopping skilfulness to have a strong positive effect on showro…
Examining the antecedents and consequences of perceived value : a case study of mobile banking application usage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
2022
Recent advancements in information, communications, and mobile technologies have revolutionized banking and payment services as well as consumer behavior. This study examines the continuous usage experience of mobile financial services, and especially mobile banking services, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the context of this study. Data were collected from 300 experienced mobile banking users across the KSA using a pre-tested survey instrument. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. The results supported most of the hypotheses and revealed that e-service quality, e-information quality, and experience flow have a significant an…
Transformative technologies, spatial changes : essays on mobile phones and the Internet
2009
Sakari Taipale tarkastelee väitöskirjassaan sitä, kuinka matkapuhelimen ja internetin käyttö vaikuttaa sosiaalisten tilojen muodostumiseen.Uudet informaatio- ja kommunikaatioteknologiat ovat monipuolistaneet sosiaalisen vuorovaikutuksen muotoja. Matkapuhelimen ja internetin avulla sosiaalisia tiloja, erilaisia toimijoiden yhteenliittymiä, voidaan luoda tietoverkoissa ilman toisten ihmisten fyysistä läsnäoloa. Tämän seurauksena sosiaalisen tilan kahden keskeisen osatekijän, rajojen ja tarkoituksen, välinen suhde on muuttunut. Rajat näyttävät menettäneen suhteellista merkitystään sosiaalisen tilan koossapysyvyyden kannalta, kun taas tilan tarkoituksen merkitys on vahvistunut.- Verkkoympäristö…
MobileMonday culture : the lure of participatory space
2010
This master’s thesis explores participatory culture’s social logic and its manifestations in social media. It employs the case study method to examine participatory culture’s patterns of interaction through the experiences of participants in Mobile Monday, a global community sharing common professional interests in mobile communications. It provides an historical perspective on the technology and concepts used in social media, and applies a theoretical framework based on the premise of participatory culture as a manifestation of the postmodern condition, influenced by tacit aesthetics, and dominated by media culture. The framework includes aesthetic strategies related to social media and th…
Verità verosimili. L'eikos nel pensiero greco
2012
Il volume ricostruisce la storia della nozione di eikos (tradizionalmente tradotta con "verosimile" o "probabile") nel pensiero greco classico e al tempo stesso ne mette a fuoco la fecondità teorica. Tale ricostruzione consente di inserire in maniera fruttuosa il concetto di eikos nel dibattito contemporaneo intorno a questioni filosofiche cruciali, prima fra tutte quella che ruota intorno alla nozione di verità.
ANALISI DELLE TENSIONI RESIDUE NEI VETRI MEDIANTE FOTOELASTICITÀ RGB E LASTRA A TINTA SENSIBILE
2012
L'analisi delle tensioni residue nel vetro viene solitamente effettuata mediante metodi fotoelastici. Questo lavoro considera l'automazione del metodo fotoelastico in luce bianca basato sull'uso congiunto della fotoelasticità RGB e di una lastra a tinta sensibile (full wave plate o tint plate), che manifesta il ritardo di un ordine di frangia, posta in serie alla lastra di vetro. Il metodo proposto è stato applicato all’analisi delle tensioni residue membranali in un vetro temperato.

Motifs de démotorisation des actifs et retraités dans les aires urbaines françaises : premiers résultats statistiques de l'enquête MoDe
2021
Based on a nationwide quantitative survey conducted on 2,000 households (including 1,000 demotorised households and 1,000 non-demotorised twin households), we propose to provide an overview of demotorisation in France. This survey by questionnaire was conducted during the winter of 2017-2018 with a panel of households representative of the French population (from the Metaskope panel of Kantar-TNS ex-TNS-Sofres). Combined with the ?Parc Auto? panel survey (Kantar-TNS for Ademe-CCFA-Ifsttar-DSR), this survey is an original source of data on the French demotorised households. From two multinomial logit regression models, for both active and retired populations, this data allows to highlight th…
Learn to Cache: Machine Learning for Network Edge Caching in the Big Data Era
2018
The unprecedented growth of wireless data traffic not only challenges the design and evolution of the wireless network architecture, but also brings about profound opportunities to drive and improve future networks. Meanwhile, the evolution of communications and computing technologies can make the network edge, such as BSs or UEs, become intelligent and rich in terms of computing and communications capabilities, which intuitively enables big data analytics at the network edge. In this article, we propose to explore big data analytics to advance edge caching capability, which is considered as a promising approach to improve network efficiency and alleviate the high demand for the radio resou…
A Double Auction Mechanism for Virtual Resource Allocation in SDN-based Cellular Network
2016
The explosively growing demands for mobile traffic service bring both challenges and opportunities to wireless net- works, among which, wireless network virtualization is proposed as the main evolution towards 5G. In this paper, we first propose a Software Defined Network (SDN) based wireless virtualization architecture for enabling multi-flow transmission in order to save capital expenses (CapEx) and operation expenses (OpEx) significantly with multiple Infrastructures Providers (InPs) and multiple Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). We for- mulate the virtual resource allocation problem with diverse QoS requirements as a social welfare maximization problem with transaction cost. Due…
