La idea de tradición en la estética de Jan Mukarovsky
2017
El presente artículo rastrea el uso de la idea de tradición en la estética de Jan Mukarovsky. Dicha idea no aparece entre sus principales conceptos, pero su identificación con la idea de estructura la coloca en un lugar prominente para captar el aspecto social y dinámico de los hechos estéticos y artísticos. A través del análisis de los hitos más significativos de la obra de Mukarovsky –la estructura, la norma, el valor, la función estética, el objeto estético, la recepción y la intencionalidad–, se alumbra una noción de tradición viva como proceso estructural desde el cual comprender los cambios históricos en las prácticas artísticas. A partir de ahí, es posible establecer una dialéctica e…
Model-assisted ultrasonic calibration using intentionally embedded defects for in-process weld inspection
2021
Abstract Automated in-process Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) systems are rapidly gaining traction within the manufacturing industry as they reduce manufacturing time and costs. When considering calibration and verification of such systems, creating defects of known geometry and nature during the deposition of a weld can: (I) help examine the capability of the automated system to detect and characterise defects, (II) be used to form a database of signals associated with different defect types to train intelligent defect classification algorithms, and (III) act as a basis for in-process gain calibration during weld inspection at high temperatures, where the ultrasound beam can be skewed as a r…
Continuous monitoring of an intentionally-manufactured crack using an automated welding and in-process inspection system
2020
Abstract Automated weld deposition coupled with the real-time robotic Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) is used in this paper. For performance verification of the in-process inspection system, an intentionally embedded defect, a tungsten rod, is introduced into the multi-pass weld. A partially-filled groove (staircase) sample is also manufactured and ultrasonically tested to calibrate the real-time inspection implemented on all seven layers of the weld which are deposited progressively. The tungsten rod is successfully detected in the real-time NDE of the deposited position. The same robotic inspection system was then used to continuously monitor an intentionally-manufactured crack for 20 h.…
Persistent Employment Instability and Fertility Intentions
2014
Our paper adds to the growing literature on the measurement of employment instability and its consequences on fertility dynamics. Many of these studies disregard that the persistence (duration) in an unstable condition, more than the status itself, may have the most severe consequences on subsequent family choices. In this paper, we propose an index of persistence in employment instability (EINI) that synthesizes all the information inside the individual sequence of employment statuses in a single number accounting simultaneously for the duration, sequencing, intensity, and labour market circumstances. Then, we test its impact on short-term childbearing intentions of Italian couples separat…
Prediction of user action in moving-target selection tasks
2015
Selection of moving targets is a common, yet complex task in human–computer interaction (HCI), and more specifically in virtual reality (VR). Action prediction has proven to be the most comprehensive enhancement to address moving-target selection challenges. Current predictive techniques, however, heavily rely on continuous tracking of user actions, without considering the possibility that target-reaching actions may have a dominant pre-programmed component—this theory is known as the pre-programmed control theory.Thus, based on the pre-programmed control theory, this research explores the possibility of predicting moving-target selection prior to action execution. Specifically, three level…
Entrepreneurial Intention Among Students in Nepal
2019
Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 Many researches have tried to explain why only some people choose to become entrepreneurs and others don’t. In this paper, we have tried to figure out the main influencing factors of entrepreneurial intention. Intentions or the behavior of one individual is different from that of the others. The Cognitive approach provides an insight to study the human behavior or thinking, which in turn affects the entrepreneurial intentions. This paper mainly examines the relationship between different factors like self-efficacy, role model, religion, experience, monetary aspect etcetera with the entrepreneurial intention among stude…
Attraction factors of shopping centers: Effects of design and eco-natural environment on intention to visit
2017
Purpose People visit malls not only to buy a product they need but also to enjoy the atmosphere or environment of the shopping center. Based on design and eco-natural environment, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the attraction factors of shopping centers. Design/methodology/approach The sample comprised 449 consumers from 25 different shopping centers in Bogota. The structural equation model (AMOS) enables the authors to discuss the influence of the design of green and natural spaces in the commercial management of shopping centers, given its positive and significant effect on the intention to visit. Findings Shopping centers are, by definition, spaces with a high level of design o…
Emoción y razón: El efecto moderador del género en el comportamiento de compra online
2018
A pesar de la evidencia existente en torno a las diferencias entre mujeres y hombres en los procesos de toma de decisiones, así como en la adopción de la tecnología, la investigación llevada a cabo hasta la fecha no ha sido concluyente. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las intenciones comportamentales de los consumidores según su género en los intercambios comerciales B2C. En este sentido, se propone identificar cómo el valor funcional —representando el raciocinio del consumidor—, el valor simbólico —representando la motivación emocional— y la confianza actúan como antecedentes de la intención de compra en el canal online. A partir de los resultados derivados de una investigación emp…
Future Intentions of Fitness Center Customers: Effect of Emotions, Perceived Well-Being and Management Variables
2020
One of the main objectives of fitness center managers is to obtain high levels of loyalty from the customers of these fitness centers. Within the existing literature on fitness center management, previous research has analyzed the importance of the management variables themselves to determine the behavioral intentions of their customers, ignoring other psychological and sociodemographic aspects and focusing on linear relationship models. Therefore, this study, which aims to analyze the impact of different management variables along with psychological (emotions and subjective well-being) and demographic variables (age and sex) on the satisfaction, perceived value (PV) and future intentions (…
