Alternative measures of body composition and wage premium: New evidence from Indonesia

2019

This paper examines the relationship between body composition and earnings in a developing country setting. We use body mass index, waist circumference and hip circumference. Exploiting the panel structure of our longitudinal survey, we find that along with BMI, waist circumference is related to higher earnings in Indonesia. peerReviewed

Comparing Innovation and Social Media Strategies in Scandinavian and US Newspapers

2018

The article focuses on innovation and social media strategies in newspaper companies in the US and three Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway and Denmark). Many previous studies have focused on the state of journalism and media industry in single countries, although media have distinct features in different countries. Through the comparative setting, it is possible to examine the differences in media innovation strategies and study what factors affect innovation in media production, business models, sources of funding, and social media strategies. The qualitative part of the paper consists of semi-structured in-depth interviews (N = 65) with media managers and experts, which were carried …

Planning, implementing and evaluating social and emotional skills course for coaches

2015

ABSTRACT Antell, Sanna. 2015. Planning, implementing and evaluating social and emotional skills course for coaches. Master’s Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences. University of Jyväskylä. 79 pages. Research on Social and Emotional Skills among sport coaches is limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to plan, implement and evaluate a course in Social and Emotional Skills for sport coaches and instructors. The aim was to study the learning processes and the experiences of the participants. Traditionally coaches in martial arts lead with an authoritarian style; consequently the aim of this course was to show a different way of interacting with trainee…

Roles of Exogenous Technologies in Vehicle Innovation: Cases from a Japan’s Automotive Parts Manufacturing Firm

2017

This paper explores the roles of technological innovations in the growth of Japan’s motor vehicle industry, mainly from technology spillover perspective from the early 2000s to today. An empirical analysis focusing on business performances, R&D investments, and patent applications taking a noteworthy unique case in Japan was attempted. Empirical analyses on the productivity of patent to technology stock, use of exogenous technologies for their own technological innovation on its Automotive Business Unit elucidated that innovation capabilities, incorporation of exogenous technologies, and profit generation makes a virtuous cycle of continuous technological innovation. Furthermore, we fou…

A different glimpse into mobilities: On the interrelations between daily spatial mobility and social mobility

2017

We explore the link between daily spatial mobility and social mobility, taking changes in the contemporary labor market and family as examples. We propose a new theoretical approach to mobility that is defined as a productive force of social labor. Analyzing the relationship between daily spatial mobility and social mobility, we show that spatial mobility has become a strategy of compensation for the lack of social mobility. Explanations for the increase in daily spatial mobility are also provided. Lastly, we reveal how spatial mobility has the capacity to produce major social change, taking the family as an example. peerReviewed

Un témoignage sensible, la parole du chrétien selon le pape François

2016

International audience; Si le pape François montre un intérêt soutenu pour les médias afin d’informer le plus largement de l’actualité de l’Église catholique, il s’en remet à d’autres modalités pour transmettre la Parole. Le chrétien annonce le message à travers sa manière d’être chrétien ; c’est tout le sens de la notion de « témoignage » dans l’acte de dire la Parole. À partir d’un corpus de textes pontificaux du pape François, l’intention de cette réflexion est de questionner cette manière chrétienne d’être au monde, plus précisément dans l’espace public, et d’être à l’autre en explorant conjointement deux voies : (i) le soubassement sensible d’une pratique énonciative faite de comportem…

Age of Information Based URLLC-enabled UAV Wireless Communications System

2022

This paper considers an unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) communication network, where UAV operate as an aerial mobile relay between a source and a destination of the network. To capture the “timelines” of the received information at the destination node, a new performance metric named age of information (AoI) is considered. In addition, a short packet communication scheme maintains low latency in the proposed UAV wireless communication system. The finite block-length theory investigates the performances of short packet communications scheme in the UAV-assisted wireless communications system. In this paper, the Average Age of Information (AAoI) is estimated by applying the Stochastic Hybrid Sy…

Hydro-mechanical modelling of a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism

2009

A coupled hydro-mechanical formulation is presented for the analysis of landslide motion during crisis episodes. The mathematical formulation is used to model a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism, in which pore water pressure evolution was identified as the main cause for movement accelerations. An elasto-plastic constitutive model is adopted for the behaviour of slip surfaces. Material parameters are obtained by combining the available laboratory tests and the back analysis of some crisis episodes. After being calibrated and validated, the model is applied to improve the understanding of the physical processes involved and to predict the landslide behaviour…
