Economía en juego
2019
[EN] This article describes an innovative strategy aimed at teaching the subject “Political Economy”, in the University Degree in Political Science and Public Administration. Although the central methodology revolves mainly around “gamification”, it also requires activities as traditional as “taking notes” or “paying attention during class”. In addition, it provides the added value of demanding to expand and structure the information collected on the basis of structuring descriptors (glossary). Through a RPG –economic and political espionage at Bandung Conference– students collect, complete and organize the information offered by the teacher and return it through oral communications before …
Paskamyrsky viskilasissa : viestintäkriisin leimahduksen elinkaari syksyn 2014 viskikohussa
2017
Tämä maisterintutkielma on tapaustutkimus, jossa tarkastellaan syksyllä 2014 alkaneen viskikohun leimahduksen elinkaarta. Elinkaaren rakentamiseksi eritellään julkisen leimahduksen vaiheet, niissä vallinneet tunnetilat ja merkittävimmät sitouttamisen tavat. Samalla selvitetään, osoittiko kohu merkkejä uudesta leimahduksesta noin vuoden aikana. Tutkielman yhtenä tärkeimmistä viitekehyksistä toimii Aulan ja Åbergin (2012) teoria leimahtavien julkisuuksien elinkaaresta. Ylemmän tason viitekehyksenä mukaan on otettu myös Coombsin tilannekohtaisen kriisiviestinnän teoria (2007b), jossa viestintäkriisin elinkaari jaetaan vaiheisiin. Vaiheistuksen avulla leimahdus voitiin sijoittaa viestintäkriisi…
Identitātes konstruēšana un privātums sociālajā tīklā Instagram.com: Latvijas jauniešu auditorijas analīze
2021
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Identitātes konstruēšana un privātums sociālajā tīklā Instagram.com: Latvijas jauniešu auditorijas analīze”. Darbs sastāv no ievada, teorētiskās, metodoloģiskās un empīriskās daļas, kā arī secinājumiem. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, ar kādu savu personīgo informāciju sociālā tīkla lietotāji ir gatavi dalīties, un vai ir informēti par privātuma politiku un citām ar datu drošību saistītām niansēm. Darba teorētiskajā daļā tika izvēlētas un apskatītas teorijas par sociālo mediju attīstību, sociālo identitāti, identitāti digitālajā vidē, sociālās identitātes nozīmi ar Ērvinga Gofmaņa dramaturģisko pieeju, kā arī sevis prezentēšanas teorijas. Darba metodoloģiskajā…
Improving Web Prefetching by Making Predictions at Prefetch
2007
Most of the research attempts to improve Web prefetching techniques have focused on the prediction algorithm with the objective of increasing its precision or, in the best case, to reduce the user's perceived latency. In contrast, to improve prefetching performance, this work concentrates in the prefetching engine and proposes the Prediction at Prefetch (P@P) technique. This paper explains how a prefetching technique can be extended to include our P@P proposal on real world conditions without changes in the web architecture or HTTP protocol. To show how this proposal can improve prefetching performance an extensive performance evaluation study has been done and the results show that P@P can…
Antecedents of the Barriers Toward the Adoption of Unified Payment Interface
2020
This study examines the influence of factors related to consumer resistance on the intention to continue using the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) for electronic payments. UPI facilitates advanced, peer-to-peer, immediate payment with seamless interoperability among banks in India. The study extends the innovation resistance theory by including two behavioral measures - privacy concerns and visibility - and two moderators - security concerns and word of mouth (WOM). It used cross-sectional data collected from 714 UPI users aged between 16 and 55 years to test the proposed research model. The findings suggest that privacy concerns and usage barrier are the two crucial factors to be addressed…
The Users’ Perspective
2014
In this chapter 20 former research subjects in brain–computer interface (BCI) studies answer questions concerning their experiences with this novel technology. They talk about their state of information, their expectations, their achievements, and also their disappointments. The answers display a wide spectrum of attitudes and personal assessments ranging from enthusiastic appreciation to skeptical reservation. Many users mention the current shortcomings but also stress the potential of the tested technology.
epiPATH: an information system for the storage and management of molecular epidemiology data from infectious pathogens.
2007
Abstract Background Most research scientists working in the fields of molecular epidemiology, population and evolutionary genetics are confronted with the management of large volumes of data. Moreover, the data used in studies of infectious diseases are complex and usually derive from different institutions such as hospitals or laboratories. Since no public database scheme incorporating clinical and epidemiological information about patients and molecular information about pathogens is currently available, we have developed an information system, composed by a main database and a web-based interface, which integrates both types of data and satisfies requirements of good organization, simple…
Secondary users selection and sparse narrow-band interference mitigation in cognitive radio networks
2018
Spectrum scarcity is a critical problem that may reduce the effectiveness of wireless technologies and services. To address this problem, different spectrum management techniques have been proposed in the literature such as overlay cognitive radio (CR) where the unlicensed users can share the same spectrum with the licensed users. The main challenges in overlay CR networks are the identification and detection of the Primary User (PU) signals in a multi-source narrow-band interference (NBI) scenario. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate the performance of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) overlay CR network with Secondary Users (SUs) and subcarriers selection schemes. …
Massive Open Online Courses for IFRS Education: A Point of view of Spanish Accounting Educators
2016
Abstract This paper is based on a survey of 103 accounting educators from different universities of Spain on the use of MOOC, especially as regards teaching IFRS. The results show significant differences in three areas of opinion: i) the importance of the use of Internet and some Web tools for academic use; ii) general knowledge and perception of MOOCs; and iii) the opinions regarding the interest of MOOCs on IFRS. The overall opinion of educators is positive because, although the majority has never taught or participated in a MOOC, over 80% consider it useful in the learning process. Flexibility is considered the main advantage of MOOCs as well as its valuable potential for autonomous lear…
Interactions of pharmaceutical companies with world countries, cancers and rare diseases from Wikipedia network analysis
2019
AbstractUsing the English Wikipedia network of more than 5 million articles we analyze interactions and interlinks between the 34 largest pharmaceutical companies, 195 world countries, 47 rare renal diseases and 37 types of cancer. The recently developed algorithm using a reduced Google matrix (REGOMAX) allows us to take account both of direct Markov transitions between these articles and also of indirect transitions generated by the pathways between them via the global Wikipedia network. This approach therefore provides a compact description of interactions between these articles that allows us to determine the friendship networks between them, as well as the PageRank sensitivity of countr…
