Defining user experience goals to guide the design of industrial systems
2015
The key prerequisite for experience-driven design is to define what experience to design for. User experience (UX) goals concretise the intended experience. Based on our own case studies from industrial environments and a literature study, we propose five different approaches to acquiring insight and inspiration for UX goal setting: Brand, Theory, Empathy, Technology, and Vision. Each approach brings in a different viewpoint, thus supporting the multidisciplinary character of UX. The Brand approach ensures that the UX goals are in line with the company's brand promise. The Theory approach utilises the available scientific knowledge of human behaviour. The Empathy approach focuses on knowing…
Telekomunikāciju uzņēmuma X klientu motivācijas faktori sekot līdzi elektroniskajam sportam
2021
Pētījuma “Telekomunikāciju uzņēmuma X klientu motivācijas faktori sekot līdzi elektroniskajam sportam” mērķis bija izprast, kādi motivācijas faktori ietekmē līdzjušanas biežumu. Izvirzīto uzdevumu ietvaros tika sniegts ieskats par to, kas ir e-sports, kāda ir līdzjušanas pieredze e-sportā, un e-sporta līdzjutēju sociālais un demogrāfiskais profils. Tika apskatīti iepriekš veiktie pētījumi, kuri sniedza ieskatu par to, kādi motivācijas faktori ietekmē līdzjušanu ārzemju respondentu vidū. Darba ietvaros tika izvēlēta pašnoteikšanās teorija, kura skaidro dažādu motivācijas faktoru savstarpējo saistību un dinamiku – kā motivācija attīstās atkarībā no darbības un vides, kurā atrodas cilvēks.

Design d'un iprodione-MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer) : application à la pré-concentration des fongicides dans le vin
2014
The aim of this study was the synthesis of a MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer) specific for a fungicide that is found in the majority of the french wine: iprodione. The challenge for extracting iprodione from wine medium was that the hydoralcoholic solution is a dipolar solvent, whereas the interaction between the MIP and iprodione is based on dipolar interactions. The first extraction study of iprodione was made on a MIP synthesized by bulk polymerization using methacrylamide and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). The MIP was found to be more efficient than the NIP (non-imprinted polymer) in hydroalcoholic solutions which demonstrates that the molecular imprinting was successful. Th…
“Sensing” the destination: Development of the destination sensescape index
2021
Abstract Despite the increasing academic interest in the sensory dimension of the tourist experience, the quantitative empirical research in the field is limited by a lack of measurement instruments for evaluating the sensory stimuli perceived by tourists during a destination visit. The study addresses this gap by developing a composite index to assess the sensory destination panorama, termed as “destination sensescape”. The construct is conceptualised as a formative multidimensional variable with 5 dimensions (visualscape, smellscape, tastescape, soundscape, and hapticscape). The psychometric validity and reliability of the 17 items integrating the formative index were established by a rig…
Transferencia valor-experiencia a través del patrocinio deportivo : antecedentes y consecuencias
2021
El estudio propone un modelo de patrocinio deportivo que toma como eje la transferencia entre evento y marca en términos de valor y experiencia, abundando en sus antecedentes y efectos. Encuestando en 2012 a 364 asistentes al GP de Fórmula 1 de València se concluye que no se transfiere el valor del evento a la marca, pero sí la experiencia. Asimismo, se observa que ambos términos (experiencia y valor) están significativamente relacionados. Adicionalmente, se confirma que motivación, identificación e implicación son antecedentes del eje del modelo, junto con todos los efectos propuestos. This study proposes a general model for sports sponsorship which takes as its central concept the transfe…
Emotional Intelligence of Undergraduate Athletes: The Role of Sports Experience.
2021
Sport is an emotional experience. Studies have shown that high emotional intelligence (EI) is associated with better sports performance, though different aspects of sports experience and their relationship with EI are still unclear. This study examined the possible relationships between sports experience and EI dimensions of undergraduate athletes. Likewise, according to the differences described in the literature between men and women, the secondary aim was to identify the possible relationship between EI and sports experience in both subgroups. A total of 1784 [712 men (39.9%), 1072 women (60.1%); mean age = 21.3 years, SD = 4.2)] undergraduate athletes completed the Trait Meta Mood Scale…

Cocaine addiction and personality: a mathematical model.
2010
The existence of a close relation between personality and drug consumption is recognized, but the corresponding causal connection is not well known. Neither is it well known whether personality exercises an influence predominantly at the beginning and development of addiction, nor whether drug consumption produces changes in personality. This paper presents a dynamic mathematical model of personality and addiction based on the unique personality trait theory (UPTT) and the general modelling methodology. This model attempts to integrate personality, the acute effect of drugs, and addiction. The UPTT states the existence of a unique trait of personality called extraversion, understood as a di…
What drives willingness to purchase and stated buying behavior toward organic food? A Stimulus–Organism–Behavior–Consequence (SOBC) perspective
2021
Abstract The consumption of organic food is gaining ground globally due to consumers’ concerns for personal health and food safety. Several countries, such as Japan, are turning their focus to promoting organic food consumption, but research is scarce on Japan’s organic food market. Additionally, despite consumers’ positive predisposition, retail sales in Japan for organic food are low, and there is a need to understand the reason for this disparity. The present study addressed this need by examining factors that may drive consumers’ willingness to purchase (WTP) and stated buying behavior (SBB) toward organic food through the Stimulus–Organism–Behavior–Consequence (SOBC) paradigm. The deve…
An empirical analysis of growth volatility: A Markov chain approach
2005
This paper studies the determinants of growth rate volatility, focusing on the effect of level of GDP, structural change and the size of economy. First we provide a graphical analysis based on nonparametric techniques, then a quantitative analysis which follows the distribution dynamics approach. Growth volatility appears to (i) decrease with per capita GDP, (ii) increase with the share of the agricultural sector on GDP and, (iii) decrease with the size of the economy, measured by a combination of total GDP and trade openness. However, we show that the explanatory power of per capita GDP tends to vanish when we control for the size of the economy. © 2005 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
