Neural and muscular changes after 4 and 8 weeks of electromyostimulation training

2005

Electromyostimulation (EMS) has been recently used as a modality of resistance training in healthy subjects to enhance maximal voluntary strength (Duchateau 1990, Maffiuletti 2002). The underlying ...

The Finnish Version of the Affinity for Technology Interaction (ATI) Scale : Psychometric Properties and an Examination of Gender Differences

2022

The pervasiveness of technical systems in our lives calls for a broad understanding of the interaction between humans and technology. Affinity for technology interaction (ATI) scale measures the tendency of a person to actively engage or to avoid interaction with technological systems, including both software and physical devices. This research presents a psychometric analysis of a Finnish version of the ATI scale. The data consisted of 796 responses of students in a Finnish university. The data were analyzed utilizing factor analysis and both nonparametric and parametric item response theory. The Finnish version of the ATI scale proved to be essentially unidimensional, showing high reliabi…

Interaction between extrinsic and intrinsic online review cues: perspectives from cue utilization theory

2023

AbstractWe examine the interaction effects of linguistic style and verification of online reviews in terms of their valence on purchase intention for search and experiential products. We adopt the cue utilization framework to examine the interplay between the extrinsic cues of online reviews—content style (general versus specific), verified purchase (VP) badge (present versus absent), and valence (positive versus negative)—in two product categories—search product (tablet) and experiential product (trip package)—using an experimental design. The findings of the frequentist and Bayesian analyses show that valence supersedes other attributes’ impacts on purchase intention in both product categ…

Exploring individual differences among teachers' ICT acceptance: A path model and role of experience

2019

This research tested a path model in which constructive beliefs, components of the technological acceptance model, and perceived enjoyment directly and indirectly predicted information and communication technology (ICT) integration into educational practices. We analyzed whether experience played a moderating role in this nomological network of associations. The sample comprised 374 Italian teachers (Mage = 38.69, SD = 5.30, F = 198) divided into two groups: the first with 20 or fewer years of teaching experience and the second with 21 or more years. They completed a questionnaire comprising a socioanagraphic section and the following scales: the Teacher’s Beliefs, the Intrinsic Motivation,…

Growing the Otome Game Market: Fan Labor and Otome Game Communities Online

2019

Otome games are a niche category of Japanese games marketed toward women. Outside its country of origin and the infrastructure of the anime media mix, its predominantly female player communities traditionally have defined these games as those that feature romance or dating simulation. In this paper, I look into how fan bloggers talk about their own work in marketing and distributing otome games beyond Japan. In the case of otome game fan blogging, the ability to shape discussions surrounding otome games also relies upon maintaining the image of players as good consumers. Although this work focuses on the practice of fan blogging, it is part of an ongoing study on otome games in English and …

Una Comunità di Chatbot per i Beni Culturali

2005

L'intuizione occupa un ruolo fondamentale nella capacità di ragionamento degli esseri umani. L'obiettivo del lavoro è la progettazione di un'infrastruttura in grado di fornire informazioni che oltre ad appoggiarsi ad un insieme di conoscenze basato su regole sia dotata anche di capacità intuitive. A tal fine è presentato un sistema preliminare che rappresenta il primo passo verso la realizzazione di tale infrastruttura. Il sistema permette ad un utente di interagire con una comunità di chat-bot aventi competenze specifiche in modo da navigare in uno spazio concettuale generato automaticamente con il paradigma di analisi della semantica latente (LSA). La base di conoscenza di ciascun chat-bo…

IS Security Policy Violations

2012

Employee violations of IS security policies are reported as a key concern for organizations. Although behavioral research on IS security has received increasing attention from IS scholars, little empirical research has examined this problem. To address this research gap, the authors test a model based on Rational Choice Theory RCT-a prominent criminological theory not yet applied in IS-which explains, in terms of a utilitarian calculation, an individual's decision to commit a violation. Empirical results show that the effects of informal sanctions, moral beliefs, and perceived benefits convincingly explain employee IS security policy violations, while the effect of formal sanctions is insig…
