Tapology: A Game-Based Platform to Facilitate E-Health and E-Inclusion
2014
Published version of a chapter in the book: Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction. Aging and Assistive Environments. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-07446-7_36 We have developed a tablet computer game app for low vision users that can be used to introduce a platform for gaming, internet and visual rehabilitation to older users who have not had prior experience with information communication technology (ICT). Our target user group is people diagnosed with Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). The primary goal of the app is to present a fun and engaging means for participants to engage with Information Communication Technology (ICT). A long…
An Empirical Examination of the Economics of Mobile Application Security
2021
The growth of mobile devices coupled with the advances in mobile technologies has resulted in the development and widespread use of a variety of mobile applications (apps). Mobile apps have been developed for social networking, banking, receiving daily news, maintaining fitness, and for job-related tasks. The security of the apps is an important concern. However, in some cases, the app developers may be less interested to invest in the security of the apps, if users are unwilling to pay for the added security. In this paper, we empirically examine whether consumers are less willing to pay for security features than for usability features. In addition, we examine whether a third-party certif…
Estereotipos asociados al cuerpo humano: análisis de aplicaciones móviles usadas en la educación físico-deportiva
2022
Institutions and educators are massively and uncritically integrating digital curricular materials in their teaching praxis. This article aims to uncover whether health and fitness APP images convey or legitimize stereotypes linked to bodies, focusing on gender, race, somatotype and physical activity practice. We also analyse whether these apps are adequate for the recommended age or whether they are designed by physical education professionals. For that purpose, we designed a descriptive, comparative study based on content analysis on a sample of 373 images from 128 apps selected through a PRISMA review and a pilot test. Our results report that bodies reproduce a series of stereotypes: of …
How Do Mobile ICTs Enable Organizational Fluidity : Toward a Theoretical Framework
2017
The focus of this theoretical paper is to investigate how mobile information and communication technologies (ICTs) give rise to the notion of organizational fluidity. Drawing upon previous literature, five affordances of mobile ICTs − mobility, connectedness, interoperability, identifiability, and personalization − are discussed. Delving into the concept of organizational fluidity, the paper captures three dimensions of organizational fluidity, namely, team fluidity, task fluidity, and control fluidity. The paper then develops propositions on how different combinations of the mobile ICT affordances influence each of the dimensions of organizational fluidity. The contributions and implicatio…

Customers' Perceived Risk and Trust in Using Mobile Money Services—an Empirical Study of Ghana
2019
Although mobile money (MM) has been explored in the existing literature, the roles of trust and risk in MM use have received little attention from researchers. Furthermore, many of the existing studies have treated these constructs as unidimensional. The extant literature also shows that perceived risk has received little attention from researchers who have conducted studies on MM. Thus, the objective of this study is to examine the roles of trust and perceived risk in customers' intent to adopt MM services in Ghana. Both trust and perceived risk were broken down into various dimensions. The study involved 671 respondents who were selected via an intercept approach and an online survey. Str…

An Exact Solution for the Level-Crossing Rate and the Average Duration of Fades of the Envelope of Sum-of-Cisoids Processes
2012
Authors version of an article published in the journal: Procedia Technology. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.protcy.2012.03.004 Sum-of-cisoids (SOC) processes provide a physically and numerically appealing framework for the modelling and simulation of a wide class of mobile radio channels. This paper is concerned with the problem of finding a general solution for the level-crossing rate (LCR) and the average duration of fades (ADF) of the envelope of SOC processes. Exact expressions are derived for the LCR and the ADF by taking into account that the inphase component, the quadrature component, and the time derivatives of the inphase and quadrature component…
Terminoloģijas lietojums mobilo iekārtu lietošanas instrukcijās
2018
Maģistra darbā pētīts terminoloģijas lietojums mobilo iekārtu lietošanas instrukcijās. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt vienotas terminoloģijas pieejamību tehniskās nozares terminoloģijai, kura izmantota mobilo iekārtu lietošanas pamācībās. Pētījumā izmantotās metodes ir teorētisko materiālu (grāmatu un publikāciju) apskats un izmantotās terminoloģijas un tās tulkojumu analīze. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka lielākajai daļai no atlasītajiem terminiem nav pieejams vienots tulkojums, vai termins darināts latviešu valodā, kas secīgi noved pie situācijas, kurā tulkotājs kļūst par valodnieku, kuram jādarina terminoloģiskās frāzes.
