A Bayesian Mixed-Methods Analysis of Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction through Outdoor Learning and Its Influence on Motivational Behavior in Sc…
2017
Research has shown that outdoor educational interventions can lead to students' increased self-regulated motivational behavior. In this study, we searched into the satisfaction of basic psychological needs (BPN), i.e., autonomy support, the learners' experience of competence, and relatedness, both within the peer group and with their teachers, through outdoor learning. From 2014 to 2016, n = 281 students attended “research weeks” at a Student Science Lab in the Alpine National Park Berchtesgaden (Germany). The program is a curriculum-based one-week residential course, centered on a 2-day research expedition. Both before and after the course, students completed a composite questionnaire addr…
Mobile Technology Adoption and the Effects of Cultural Factors
2019
Mobile technologies are an important part of human life in both the personal and professional realms. Many services (banking, news, health, education, etc.) that traditionally offered either face-to-face, telephone, or other conventional platforms and technologies are now establishing services on mobile platforms as well. Mobile gadgets are now also being used by company employees as sales automation tools. The importance of culture in technology adoption and usage has been well-established. The adoption of any technology includes a set of factors that determine if the technology is either accepted or rejected, and the individual strengths of these determining factors may vary greatly, depe…
Hvilke faktorer kan forklare ansattes bruk av sikkerhetstiltak på mobile enheternår de er ute på farten?
2018
Masteroppgave informasjonssystemer IS501 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Kontekst:Brukeren er ofte omtalt som den største trusselen motinformasjonssikkerhet i virksomheter. I dag bruker de flesteen eller fleremobile enheter på jobben. Sammen med mobile enheter kommer også nye farer knyttet til informasjonssikkerhet,ogdet er derfor svært viktig at ansatte bruker anbefalte sikkerhetstiltaknår de erpå jobben, men også utenfor virksomheten.Målet med studien er å analyserehvilkefaktorersomkan forklare bruk av sikkerhetstiltakpå mobile enheterutenfor organisatoriske rammer («ute på farten»).

Optimización de la medida de la calidad de vida en personas mayores con dependencia en centros residenciales de Guipúzcoa: Escalas Fumat y Qualid
2019
La investigación tuvo como objetivo poner a disposición de los centros residenciales un conjunto de herramientas validadas para la medida de la calidad de vida de personas mayores con dependencia, tanto con como sin deterioro cognitivo grave, que fueran ágiles y sirvieran para orientar el diseño de intervenciones y guiar la implantación de modelos de atención centrados en la calidad de vida de las personas. La escala FUMAT ADAPTADA se construyó con 24 ítems rescatados de la escala FUMAT (Verdugo, Gómez y Arias, 2009) de entre los que los 22 profesionales de 4 grupos focales validaron para su uso en centros residenciales. Se validó confirmatoriamente (n=191), al igual que la escala QUALID (W…
Análisis edad-periodo-cohorte de la mortalidad por accidentes de tráfico en España
1999
OBJETIVO. Estudiar la evolución de la mortalidad por accidentes de tráfico en España y su posible aplicación a un modelo edad-periodo-cohorte, así como el efecto que pueden tener algunas medidas de seguridad vial seleccionadas. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS. Se obtuvieron las tasas de mortalidad por accidentes de tráfico y las tasas en intervalos quinquenales de edad para cada sexo, lo que permite su estudio como tasas específicas de edad por cohortes de nacimiento. Para determinar la asociación entre las medidas de seguridad vial seleccionadas y la mortalidad se han construido modelos de regresión de Poisson. RESULTADOS. Se observaron dos ondas evolutivas en la mortalidad por accidentes de tráfico. R…
Comportements migratoires des étudiants et des jeunes diplômés.
2008
Until now, analyses about migrations of young people linked with French higher education seemed to focus only on costs and advantages. Especially students in training and young graduates integrating labour market. They consider strategies of job searching and studies efficiencies. Until now, these analyses about French students' and graduates' migrations didn't take into account geographical dimensions. From now, national databases allow studying regional migrations of both students and graduates. Now, one can answer to questions like: do they migrate the same way? Do regions influence the way they migrate? Main results are explained in three developments. The first one presents main charac…
Impact of physical effort on von Willebrand factor’s activity and concentration in blood
2020
Background and Study Aim: Physical exercise causes a wide range of physiological changes including the production and release of haemostasis regulating factors. One of these factors is von Willebrand factor (vWf)- a glycoprotein responsible for both platelet adhesion and coagulation cascade. Material and Methods: The impact of physical effort on von Willebrand’s factor’s concentration (vWf:Ag) and activity (vWf:CBA) underwent analysis in the group of 42 people (22 men and 20 women) aged 19-22 (mean 20, SD 8 months). Physical effort was induced by 35 minutes of swimming in indoor swimming pool. Results: Physical exercise in form of swimming causes an increase of Willebrand’s factor’s concent…
Legacy system evolution - A comparative study of modernisation and replacement initiation factors
2007
Decisions regarding information system evolution strategy become topical as the organisation’s information systems age and start to approach the end of their life cycle. An interview study was conducted in order to compare factors influencing modernisation and replacement initiation. System age, obsolete technology and high operation or maintenance costs were identified as triggers for both modernisation and replacement projects. The results show that the most prevalent individual reason for modernisation initiative is business development. Common initiation factors for replacement projects were end of vendor support and system’s inability to respond to organisation’s business needs. peerRe…
Ustekinumab therapy changes the transcriptional activity pattern of TGF-β1–3 genes
2019
Introduction One of the examples of genes whose expression can be altered by the action of ustekinumab is TGF-β. It is a pleiotropic cytokine whose activity affects psoriatic changes and the state of homeostasis of the whole organism. Aim To evaluate the effect of ustekinumab on the transcriptional activity of TGF-b family genes in patients with psoriatic arthritis and to check whether the results obtained can be helpful in monitoring the progress of treatment. Material and methods From total PBMCs obtained from peripheral blood of 14 patients with psoriatic arthritis, total RNA was isolated. The expression level of the TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3 genes was determined by RT-qPCR in real time.…
Factors related to survival from oral cancer in an Andalusian population sample (Spain)
2007
Introduction: Approximately 3% of malignant tumors originate in the oral cavity. The majority are squamous cell carcinomas, and a small percentage, malignant tumors of the salivary glands, lymphoreticular diseases, bone tumors, melanomas, sarcomas, malignant odontogenic tumors and metastases of tumors from other locations. The prognosis of these pathologies depends on the size, infiltration, and site of the lesion, the presence or absence of metastatic spread, and to a certain degree the differentiation of the tumor. The prognosis of an oral cancer remains generally negative, with 5-year survival figures below 50%, producing high rates of mortality and morbidity. Objectives: To evaluate the…
