Technology Enabled Information Services Use in Tourism : An Ethnographic Study of Chinese Backpackers
2018
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the previously unexplored theoretical relationship between technology enabled information services (TEIS) and the value created by the use of such services. This paper presents a mixed virtual and multi-sited ethnography to provide a thick description of Chinese backpackers (CBs) use of TEIS. Participant observations and interviews of CBs in three different journeys within Europe were undertaken. Our findings illustrate that additional usage values occur when TEIS are used in a tourism context. Social influences and technical infrastructure play a stronger role than previous research presented. The study contributes to the literature by 1) providi…
Which are online shopping determinants Analysing ease and convenience to use, prior shopping experience, online benefits, social influence in India
2021
Online shopping is growing day by day with the help of technology and customer support. Provided that India is the second largest country in terms of internet users, the purpose of the study is to examine online shopping determinants. This topic is original and up to date not only from the academic point of view, but also from the practical one. Indeed, to attract internet users to the online shopping, retailers need to understand the drivers of such phenomenon. In order to reach the goal, primary data was collected through a questionnaire survey wherein judgemental sampling method has been used. Then an exploratory factor analysis was performed. Results highlight that 'ease of use and conv…
The Wine Influencers: Exploring a New Communication Model of Open Innovation for Wine Producers—A Netnographic, Factor and AGIL Analysis
2020
Wine Influencers (WIs) represent a new type of independent third party endorsers that are progressively establishing themselves within social networks. This study analyzes the characteristics of the activity of WIs and the communication model used via Instagram. Netnographic Analysis, Factor Analysis and AGIL methods were applied. The results show five Key-findings within specific relationships established during discussions: advice from Wine Influencers and generalized reciprocity in relationships
Understanding Mobile Showrooming Based on a Technology Acceptance and Use Model
2021
Showrooming is an increasingly popular behaviour in the omnichannel era. The purpose of this paper is to understand the consumer intention to showroom through a technology acceptance and use model based on UTAUT2 that includes value consciousness and purchase involvement as drivers of showrooming intention and mobile dependency as a moderator. Data collected via a survey answered by 659 showroomers were analysed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Results show that value consciousness, purchase involvement, hedonic motivation and social influence explain mobile showrooming intention and mobile dependency moderates the impact of value consciousness on mobile showrooming intention. Our results…
Balancing of multi-stage pump using the coupling hub
2019
In this paper, we present an investigation to perform a temporary on-site balancing of machines which rotor is not accessible, such as multi-stage oil centrifugal pumps, in order to bring back the vibration magnitude below the alarm threshold, waiting for the scheduled general review of the machine. We have shown that if the vibration measured on the Driver End Support (DE) is very higher than that measured on the Non Driver End Support (NDE), we can consider the Coupling Hub fitted to the Pump (CHP) a correction plane in order to apply on site balancing by means of the Influence Coefficients Method. This permits to overcome the problem of the inaccessibility of the rotor and to solve, in t…

Does social climate influence positive eWOM? A study of heavy-users of online communities.
2018
Abstract This paper provides a deeper understanding of the role of social influences on positive eWOM behaviour (PeWOM) of heavy-users of online communities. Drawing on Social Interaction Utility Framework, Group Marketing and Social Learning Theories, we develop and test a research model integrating the interactions between the social climate of a website and Interpersonal Influences in PeWOM. 262 Spanish heavy-users of online communities were selected and the data analysed using partial least squares equation modelling. Overall, the model explains 59% of the variance of PeWOM on online communities. Findings reveal that interaction with other members of the online community (Social Presenc…
Latviešu influenceru priekšstati par atbildību auditorijas priekšā, publicējot apmaksātu saturu sociālajā tīklā YouTube
2019
Bakalaura darba “Latviešu influenceru priekšstati par atbildību auditorijas priekšā, publicējot apmaksātu saturu sociālajā tīklā YouTube” galvenais mērķis ir noskaidrot latviešu YouTube influenceru izpratni par atbildību publicējot apmaksātu saturu un cik ļoti tas atbilst novērojumiem viņu YouTube kanālos. Darba teorētisko daļu veido trīs nodaļas – sociālie mediji, reklāma internetā un medijpratība. Darba empīriskajā daļā izmantota kontentanalīze, lai analizētu četru YouTube kanālu saturu 2019. gada februāra – marta griezumā. Pēc tam izmantotas daļēji strukturētās intervijas, lai intervētu blogu autorus. No pētījuma rezultātiem izriet vairāki secinājumi, kas parāda to, ka influenceri lielu …
"Youtube" un "Instagram" influenceri par minimālismu: komunikācija un loma attieksmes, paradumu un uzvedības maiņā
2021
Bakalaura darba “Youtube” un “Instagram” influenceri par minimālismu: komunikācija un loma attieksmes, paradumu un uzvedības maiņā mērķis ir izvērtēt, vai influenceri, komunicējot caur sociālajiem medijiem, spēj ietekmēt savu sekotāju dzīves stila paradumus, pievēršot auditorijas uzmanību minimālismam. Darba teorētisko daļu veido nodaļas par sociālajiem medijiem un to veidiem, minimālismu, influenceriem, kā arī pētīta lietojuma un apmierinājuma teorija. Pētījumā analizēts latviešu influenceru Edgars Feščenko un Lauras Arnicānes radītais saturs “Youtube” un “Instagram” plaformās, izmantojot kvalitatīvo kontentanalīzi. Darba ietvaros tiek veikta interneta aptauja un daļēji strukturētas interv…
On erbium lattice location in ion implanted Si0.75Ge0.25 alloy
2003
A high crystalline quality Si0.75Ge0.25 alloy layer grown by chemical vapor deposition was implanted with 70 keV Er+ ions to a fluence of 1015 cm−2 at temperature of 550 °C. The implantation was found to result in an Er depth distribution with 1 at. % maximum concentration 30 nm beneath the surface. The location of the erbium atoms in the host matrix lattice is derived through computer simulation of experimental axial channeling angular scans measured by in situ Rutherford backscattering/channeling spectrometry. Using computer code FLUX 7.7 it is shown that 60% of the implanted erbium atoms are located at ytterbium sites, 10% at tetrahedral sites, and the remainder are associated with rando…
