Health Promotion Interventions in Sports Clubs: Can We Talk About a Setting-Based Approach? A Systematic Mapping Review
2019
Many researchers and authorities have recognized the important role that sports clubs can play in public health. In spite of attempts to create a theoretical framework in the early 2000s, a thorough understanding of sports clubs as a setting for health promotion (HP) is lacking. Despite calls for more effective, sustainable, and theoretically grounded interventions, previous literature reviews have identified no controlled studies assessing HP interventions in sports clubs. This systematic mapping review details how the settings-based approach is applied through HP interventions in sports clubs and highlights facilitators and barriers for sports clubs to become health-promoting settings. In…
The role of social media and influencers during COVID-19 crisis: users’ evaluations
2020
Bakalaura darba „Sociālo tīklu un influenceru loma COVID-19 vīrusa krīzes apstākļos: lietotāju vērtējumi” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kāda ir sociālo tīklu un influenceru ietekme uz auditoriju COVID-19 vīrusa krīzes situācijas apstākļos un noskaidrot vai tie maina auditorijas rīcību un uzskatus šajā ārkārtas situācijas laikā. Darba teorētiskā bāze ir sociālo tīklu raksturojums, krīze, krīzes komunikācija, masu un pūļa psiholoģija, influenceru loma krīzes apstākļos, lietojuma un apmierinājuma teorija. Ar daļēji strukturētās intervijas un tiešsaistes aptaujas pētniecības metodēm, tika noskaidrots kā mainās sociālo tīklu lietojums krīzes apstākļos.
Persuaziâ, manipulâciâ i religioznyj âzyk:teoretičeskij aspekt
2021
This article is an attempt at a theolinguistic description of such concepts as manipulation, persuasia, and religious language. The author focuses primarily on the theoretical aspect of the stated problem. In the first part of the work, such concepts as manipulation, persuasia and speech influence are analyzed. Their hierarchy is being organized and it is concluded that persuasia and manipulation, when considered in “pure form” is the polar form of speech influence, different in means of achieving the goal: if persuasia is an open speech influence, suggesting a deliberate choice by the recipient, speech influence with the sign “+”, then the manipulation is speech influence, often using hidd…
Odmiana medialna języka a ustne wypowiedzi uczniów
2022
This article seeks to answer the question whether features of media language can be discerned in the utterances of the younger generation and, if so, which ones. The oral presentations performed during the secondary school final examinations (obtained from the recordings) were studied. They have never been analysed in this respect before. The presentations have, on the one hand, an official character and, on the other, are spontaneous as they are produced on an ad hoc and continuous basis, with no possibility of predicting their final shape. First, the article reviews the characterisation of media language by researchers working on the subject in order to establish a group of the most disti…

A Research Agenda for Evaluating Strength of Internal Preferences and External Influences in Consumer Smartphone Switching
2015
This article proposes a research agenda to study what causes consumers to switch smartphone manufacturer and operating system brands. International consumer survey is planned for data collection and structural equation modeling method will be used to extrapolate whether internal preferences play a larger role than external influences in consumers’ switching behavior. The effects are expected to be moderated by behavioral control, subjective uncertainty and prior switching experience and controlled with a set of constraint variables. As a theoretical contribution, we propose a new theory to evaluate switching primarily through the latent construct of magnitude of switch. Potential practical …
Using the theory of interpersonal behavior to explain non-work-related personal use of the Internet at work
2013
Non-work-related personal use of the Internet within organizations has received increased attention from scholars. We increase previous understanding of this phenomenon by proposing a novel model based on the theory of interpersonal behavior (TIB). The TIB includes previous researched constructs (i.e., attitudes, social influence, and intentions) as well as emotional factors, habits, and different sources of social influence. Our results (N=238) suggest that the model well predicts the use of the Internet at work for non-work purposes. Our results shed new light on the influence of habit, affect, role, and self-concept in the use of the Internet.
Realizing the social acceptance of community renewable energy: A process-outcome analysis of stakeholder influence
2014
This study shows how stakeholders influence the development of community renewable energy (CRE) schemes and how they are influenced by their outcome. It relies on information collected during 41 structured interviews with local people involved in CRE initiatives in seven regions of Europe. The interviews were thematically analyzed to identify different types of stakeholder influence. The findings show that stakeholder influence on CRE schemes take place at three distinct levels: macro, intercommunity and intracommunity. In addition, key stakeholders can support or hinder the development of a project according to whether or not they perceive that the output of the project may benefit or harm…
A New Theoretical Approach on Teenage Cyclist-Vehicle Crash
2016
Data obtained in teenage cyclist impact against three vehicles (sedan, SUV and Pick Up), tested in previous works, are analyzed to verify the theoretical results by the coupling of momentum conservation principle and energy conservation principle. The speed of vehicle and thorax are compared with theoretical ones, obtaining an excellent agreement. Following the results found in the literature, particular emphasis is done on teenager cyclist thorax and head speeds, indicating that the cyclist speed can be theoretically until 1,41 times the impact speed, while greater values, until 2, are obtained in the simulations. A small slowing of the vehicle is found theoretically and in the simulations…
Sosiaalinen media ja sosiaalinen tausta teini-ikäisten nuorten kulutusasenteiden selittäjinä
2020
Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelemme sosiaalisen median vaikuttajien seuraamisen, kaveripaineen ja sosiodemografisten muuttujien yhteyttä nuorten kulutusasenteisiin. Tutkimus pohjautuu kuluttajaksi sosiaalistumisen teorioihin sosiaalisen taustan ja muuttuvan mediavaikuttamisen kontekstissa. Tutkimusaineistona käytetään 800:lle 15-19-vuotiaalle nuorelle tehtyä kyselytutkimusta. Aineisto on analysoitu rakenneyhtälömallinnuksella. Tutkimustulosten mukaan sosiaalisen median vaikuttajien seuraamisella oli vahva yhteys materialistisiin kulutusasenteisiin, mutta ei säästäväisyyteen eikä vastuullisuuteen. Myös kaveripaine kulutuksessa oli yhteydessä materialismiin, Kuitenkin vähemmistö nuorista oli ase…
