Examining the antecedents and consequences of perceived value : a case study of mobile banking application usage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

2022

Recent advancements in information, communications, and mobile technologies have revolutionized banking and payment services as well as consumer behavior. This study examines the continuous usage experience of mobile financial services, and especially mobile banking services, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the context of this study. Data were collected from 300 experienced mobile banking users across the KSA using a pre-tested survey instrument. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. The results supported most of the hypotheses and revealed that e-service quality, e-information quality, and experience flow have a significant an…

Digital Activism in Russia: The Evolution and Forms of Online Participation in an Authoritarian State

2020

AbstractThis chapter describes how digitalization has affected activism in Russia by tracing the evolution, particularity, and the most visible forms of online activism in the context of the increasingly authoritarian Russian state. It discusses online activism in relation to “connective action” and illustrates it with two examples of contentious political activism: the anti-corruption campaign led by Alexei Navalny and the struggle to protect online communication from state surveillance by the Telegram messenger service. In addition, the chapter presents examples of Russian activism, which do not directly challenge the Kremlin.

MobileMonday culture : the lure of participatory space

2010

This master’s thesis explores participatory culture’s social logic and its manifestations in social media. It employs the case study method to examine participatory culture’s patterns of interaction through the experiences of participants in Mobile Monday, a global community sharing common professional interests in mobile communications. It provides an historical perspective on the technology and concepts used in social media, and applies a theoretical framework based on the premise of participatory culture as a manifestation of the postmodern condition, influenced by tacit aesthetics, and dominated by media culture. The framework includes aesthetic strategies related to social media and th…

Muistisairaat ja heidän omaishoitajansa kokevat olevansa heitteillä: ”Apu on riittämätöntä”

2021

Muistisairaat kärsivät avun riittämättömyydestä enemmän kuin muut ikääntyneet. Vaaravyöhykkeessä ovat myös omaishoitajat, jotka paikkaavat heikkoja julkisia palveluita omalla venymisellään. Myös henkisestä tuesta on kova puute muistisairaiden ja heidän omaishoitajiensa keskuudessa, kirjoittavat alan tutkijat. nonPeerReviewed

Asiakasosallistuminen ja sen johtaminen lapsi- ja perhepalveluiden johtajien kuvaamana

2022

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan lapsi- ja perhepalveluiden johtajien ja esimiesten näkemyksiä asiakasosallistumisesta ja sen johtamisesta. Asiakasosallistumisen käsitteeseen sisällytetään kokemusasiantuntijuus ja vertaistuki sekä muut asiakkaiden tai potilaiden osallistumisen muodot. Tutkimuksessa kysytään, miten lapsi- ja perhepalveluiden johtajat ja esimiehet kuvaavat asiakasosallistumista ja perustelevat asiakkaiden mukaanottoa palvelun tuottamiseen. Lisäksi tarkastellaan, millaista on asiakasosallistumisen johtaminen lapsi- ja perhepalveluissa haastateltujen kuvauksen perusteella. Aineisto koostuu 25 teemahaastattelusta, jotka tehtiin järjestöjen sekä kunnallisten sosiaali- ja terveyspalvel…

Kinetic evidence for the incorporation of the [(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) (2,2′-bipyridyl)(aquo)rhodium(III)] complex into DPPC vesicles

2008

Abstract The binding of the [(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) (2,2′-bipyridyl)(aquo)rhodium(III)] complex [Cp*RhIII(bpy)H2O]2+, to l -α-dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline (DPPC) vesicles has been estimated by studying the kinetics of the electron transfer reaction between the rhodium(III) complex and formiate ions. Kinetic measurements carried out under anaerobic conditions in absence and presence of DPPC show that the total reaction is composed of two steps. The rate of the first reaction increases with the phospholipid concentration, while that of the second process is independent of the concentration of DPPC. This is consistent with a reaction, where the two reacting species are partitioned be…

Student participation in peer interaction : use of material resources as a key consideration in an open-ended problem-solving mathematics task

2021

This study explores how students deal with material resources in their peer interaction when working in pairs in an open-ended problem-solving task. The productive use of material resources can be expected to support successful peer work. However, research into social phenomena in peer interaction is needed in order to identify and describe productive and less productive forms of dealing with material resources as students participate in open-ended problem-solving tasks. Consequently, this explorative study responds to this research need. Based on multimodal data, including video recordings, transcribed talk and the written contributions from four pairs of Year 7 students aged 12-13 years, …
