Finnish athletes' expectations about physiotherapy in sport injury rehabilitation
2011
As the injured athlete's primary and most frequent contact within the sport injury rehabilitation process, the physiotherapist is in a unique position to influence the athlete's psychological rehabilitation alongside the physical recovery (Barefield & McCallister, 1997). The important question of whether or not athletes expect physiotherapists to address their psychological issues, however, has not yet been investigated in detail. Moreover, scales that measure athletes’ expectations of physiotherapy are also scarce and available only in the English language. Therefore, the purpose of this study was two-fold: 1) to adapt the Expectation About Athletic Training (EAAT) questionnaire into Finni…
Reciprocal relations between autonomous motivation from self-determination theory and social cognition constructs from the theory of planned behavior…
2020
Objectives The present study examined reciprocal relations between autonomous motivation from self-determination theory (SDT) and constructs from the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in a sport injury context. Methods The study adopted a three-wave longitudinal cross-lagged panel design. Physical education students in China (N = 4414; Mage = 14.42, SD = 1.75) completed self-report measures of autonomous motivation, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control with respect to sport injury prevention at baseline (T1) and at two follow-up occasions one (T2) and three (T3) months later. Proposed reciprocal relations between autonomous motivation and the TPB constructs controlling…
Predictors of In‐School and Out‐of‐School Sport Injury Prevention : A Test of The Trans‐Contextual Model
2021
The current study aimed to predict secondary school students' motivation toward sport injury prevention in 'in-school' and 'out-of-school' contexts, and their sport injury prevention behaviour at 3-month follow-up using the trans-contextual model (TCM). Hong Kong secondary school students (N = 1,566; mean age = 13.34 years, range = 11 to 19; female = 49.42%) were recruited. Participants were asked to complete a survey comprising previously-validated scales measuring TCM constructs at baseline, and a measure of sport injury prevention behaviour at follow-up three months later. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the hypothesised paths among TCM constructs. A SEM specifying…
Explaining the Usage Intentions of Exergames
2014
Different kinds of digital gaming concepts that combine exercise and games, commonly referred to as exergames, have become increasingly common in recent years. These games, which can be used because of both hedonic and utilitarian reasons, have also become a subject of growing interest among academic researchers. However, the factors that explain their usage remain vaguely understood. This study aims to find out what kinds of factors explain the intentions to use exergames as part of one’s exercise. To do this, we first propose a new theoretical model for explaining the usage intentions of exergames and then empirically test this model by analyzing an online survey sample collected from 271…
UCOT: Semiautomatic Generation of Conceptual Models from Use Case Descriptions
2008
This paper describes a prototype of a system to auto matically analyze use cases and create a conceptual model based on the analysis. Grammatical parser and Abbott’s heuristic are used to process the use cases. User can modify the conceptual model by refining entities and relations, as well as roles for the entities. The model can be exported to be further utilized with object oriented analysis or domain specific modeling. The system is evaluated based on the analysis of use cases used to describe the system itself. The quality of models depends essentially on the quality and writing conventions of the use cases. If the use cases are written using subject-predicate-object struc ture and usage…
EntityBot: Actionable Entity Recommendations for Everyday Digital Task
2022
Our everyday digital tasks require access to information from a wide range of applications and systems. Although traditional search systems can help find information, they usually operate within one application (e.g., email client or web browser) and require the user's cognitive effort and attention to formulate proper search queries. In this paper, we demonstrate EntityBot, a system that proactively provides useful and supporting entities across application boundaries without requiring explicit query formulation. Our methodology is to exploit the context from screen frames captured every 2 seconds to recommend relevant entities for the current task. Recommendations are not restricted to on…
The drivers of customer satisfaction for academic library services: managerial hints from an empirical study on two Italian university libraries usin…
2015
The intent of this qualitative research is to investigate and understand the requisites of customer satisfaction for academic libraries’ users and to give managerial hints for the implementation of user centred academic library services. To this aim, we analyse the library services of two Italian Universities (the Faculty of Economics of University of Palermo and the Central Library of the University of Salerno) to find relations and congruencies and to evaluate the perceived relevance of the tangible and intangible aspects of these services. In the preliminary phase of the research, we conducted both focus groups and individual interviews involving students or researchers who regularly use…
Métodos de formación a distancia en el ámbito universitario
2018
La formación pedagógica, así como el asesoramiento y la orientación psicopedagógica, constituye uno de los puntos de interés en los que se trabaja en la Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). Para dar respuesta a las demandas formativas derivadas de ese eje, el Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación (ICE) es el responsable de contribuir a la mejora de la calidad de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, ofreciendo la formación y asesoramiento oportuno tanto a su profesorado como a su alumnado. En este sentido, cada vez más se va dando prioridad a los modelos de formación a distancia mediados a través de la plataforma de e-learning PoliformaT, adaptación de la plataforma de Open Source Sa…
Uzņēmēju degsmes un metakognitīvo prasmju saistība ar izdegšanu
2022
Daudzu gadu garumā izdegšanas pētniecība ir noritējusi dažādās nozarēs. Organizāciju vidē pētnieki, galvenokārt, cenšas noskaidrot izdegšanas riska un aizsargājošos faktorus darbiniekiem. Maģistra darba mērķis bija atklāt saistības starp izdegšanu, harmonisku degsmi, pārņemošu degsmi un metakognitīvajām prasmēm uzņēmēju izlasē. Pētījuma izlasi veido 60 mazu uzņēmumu vadītāji, vīrieši n=35 (58,3%) un sievietes n=25 (41,7%) vecumā no 24 līdz 56 gadiem (M = 39,48 gadi), kuriem pieder vismaz 25% uzņēmuma kapitāldaļu un kuru ienākumi no uzņēmējdarbības sastāda vismaz 50% no kopējiem mājsaimniecības ienākumiem. Darbā tika izmantoti trīs datu ievākšanas instrumenti: Maslakas izdegšanas vispārīgā a…
