A new perspective on adolescent athletes’ transition into upper secondary school : A longitudinal mixed methods study protocol
2016
The challenge of combining elite sport and education into a dual career pathway remains to be a source of concern for many high-performance athletes. Previous research findings suggest that committed participation in both domains is highly demanding and success in one pursuit often comes at the expense of the other. There are emergent studies, however, that argue for the beneficial and complementary nature of dual career pathways. Consequently, we emphasize the importance of understanding the processes underlying differences in the development of athletes’ life trajectories. This article presents a study protocol to explore new methodological and analytical approaches that may extend curren…
Advances in mobile financial services: a review of the literature and future research directions
2022
PurposeUsing the theory, construct, method, moderator (TCMM) format, this framework-based review critically analyses the mobile financial services (MFSs) field through a detailed synthesis and analysis of a sample of mainstream empirical research published in various scientific journals within the period 2009–2020.Design/methodology/approachThe authors followed a three-step structured approach suggested by Webster and Watson (2002) to search for the literature to synthesise the global perspectives on MFSs and their associated applications and systems. The literature research resulted in the identification of 115 most relevant articles.FindingsThe authors identified three major categories or…
El PSOE, primer partido en España que abre la elección de sus candidatos a la participación de simpatizantes. Primarias a la francesa
2015
Hasta llegar a aprobar y realizar elecciones primarias abiertas en el socialismo español, el PSOE vivirá momentos muy difíciles y convulsos como consecuencia de la crisis económica iniciada en 2008 -que se hará social y política conforme avance-, y que lejos de ser pasajera, arraiga en una parte de la Unión Europea y en España, con consecuencias negativas para el voto socialista, ya que el PSOE gobierna España desde 2004, y por lo tanto es el que soporta la crisis como partido de gobierno. Índice. El PSOE, primer partido en España que abre la elección de sus candidatos a la participación de simpatizantes. 1. El contexto político. 2010-2014: en medio de la crisis. 2.

RC Columns Strengthened with Steel Angles and Battens: Experimental Results and Design Procedure
2013
In this paper, an analytical model for the design of axially loaded strengthened RC columns with steel angles and battens is presented. Cases of directly loaded and not directly loaded steel angles are considered. The model considers the contribution in confinement pressures caused by transverse battens and steel angles and the contribution in terms of the load-carrying capacity of steel angles subjected to axial force and the bending moment. An experimental investigation on the compressive behavior of eight short, confined, RC columns externally strengthened with steel angles and steel battens with various pitches was carried out, and has been utilized as support for the analytical model. …

Prosessiteoreettinen näkökulma, joka selittää henkilökohtaisen tietokoneen käyttöön liittyvää tietoturvakäyttäytymisen muutosta
2016
IS security behavior has become a mainstream topic in information systems. Extent research is dominated with the viewpoint for discovery of generic and stable predictors. The viewpoint rests on the implicit assumption that information security behavior can be explained by discovering these factors. The best know examples are IS security behavior models grounded upon Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and the Deterrence Theory (DT). The success of this perspective hinges on the question as to what extend the IS security behavior and the reasons for it, are constant from time to time and from one specific security situation to another. The viewpoint is successful if computer users have built …
La garantía del derecho al olvido: protección de datos, retos futuros y propuestas de regulación de situaciones de vulnerabilidad en la Unión Europea
2020
El actual desarrollo tecnológico y la transformación digital han posibilitado la recogida, almacenamiento, análisis, utilización e intercambio masivo e ilimitado de información de carácter personal. Esto plantea nuevos desafíos asociados a la tutela y efectividad de los derechos fundamentales, en particular del derecho a la protección de datos de carácter personal. Uno de estos retos, en clave cibernética y jurídica, es la perpetuidad y accesibilidad universal, en la Red Internet, de información personal, potencialmente lesiva para el libre desarrollo y la dignidad. Considerando la compleja realidad tecnodigital, así como la pluralidad ordinamental de las NTIC, se hace necesaria una revisió…
Shape optimization in contact problems based on penalization of the state inequality
1986
The paper deals with the approximation of optimal shape of elastic bodies, unilaterally supported by a rigid, frictionless foundation. Original state inequality, describing the behaviour of such a body is replaced by a family of penalized state problems. The relation between optimal shapes for the original state inequality and those for penalized state equations is established. peerReviewed
Prediction of harmful variants on mitochondrial genes : Test of habitat-dependent and demographic effects in a euryhaline fish
2017
Both effective population size and life history may influence the efficacy of purifying selection, but it remains unclear if the environment affects the accumulation of weakly deleterious nonsynonymous polymorphisms. We hypothesize that the reduced energetic cost of osmoregulation in brackish water habitat may cause relaxation of selective constraints at mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed 57 complete mitochondrial genomes of Pungitius pungitius collected from brackish and freshwater habitats. Based on inter- and intraspecific comparisons, we estimated that 84% and 68% of the nonsynonymous polymorphisms in the freshwater and brackish …
Pareto frontier in economic-statistical design of a dynamic c chart
2015
The present paper proposes an economic-statistical multi-objective design procedure for a dynamic c control chart. In detail, a mixed integer non-linear constrained mathematical model is formulated to solve the treated problem, whereas the Pareto frontier is described by the ε-constraint method. To show the employment of the proposed procedure a numerical case is solved and the related considerations are given.
