Transition to Digital Distribution Platforms and Business Model Evolution
2019
How do business models evolve when technology-based firms move from physical distribution channels to digital distribution platforms? This is an important question, since digitalization of distribution platforms provides new opportunities to expand the reach and customer base of technology-based firms. Based on an in-depth multi-case study of four Japanese high-tech firms, we seek to expand our understanding of digital transformation and business model literature. Our findings indicate that that through digital transformation, the case firms’ business models evolved toward more constant interaction with the market, in particular through digital platforms. This interaction includes growing a…
Individuality in the Early Number Skill Components Underlying Basic Arithmetic Skills
2018
Early number skills underlie success in basic arithmetic. However, very little is known about the skill profiles among children in preprimary education and how the potential profiles are related to arithmetic development. This longitudinal study of 440 Finnish children in preprimary education (mean age: 75 months) modeled latent performance-level profile groups for the early number skill components that are proposed to be key predictors of arithmetic (symbolic number comparison, mapping, and verbal counting skills). Based on three assessment time points (September, January, and May), four profile groups were found: the poorest-performing (6%), low-performing (16%), near-average-performing (…

Ligand mediated evolution of size dependent magnetism in cobalt nanoclusters.
2018
We use density functional theory to model the impact of a ligand shell on the magnetic properties of CoN (15 ≤ N ≤ 55) nanoclusters. We study three different ligand shells on each nanocluster core size, each known to have different electronic interactions with the surface: pure Cl ligand shells (X-type), pure PH3 ligand shells (L-type), and two component ligand shells with mixtures of Cl and PH3 ligands. The simulations show that the identity, arrangement, and total coverage of the ligand shell controls the distribution of local magnetic moments across the CoN core. On the surface of an unpassivated CoN nanocluster, the Co-Co coordination number (CN) is known to determine the local magnetic…
Priekšmetiskas darbības rīku izmantošana skaitļu izjūtas mācīšanai matemātikā sākumskolā
2021
Pētījuma mērķis bija pārbaudīt priekšmetiskas darbības rīku izmantošanu kā instrumentu skaitļu izjūtas mācīšanai sākumskolā Latvijā. Lai to noskaidrotu, veikta sākumskolas matemātikas skolotāju anketēšana, koncentrējoties uz konkrētu priekšmetiskas darbības rīku izmantošanas praksi ikdienā, skolotāju zināšanām par priekšmetiskas darbības rīku izmantošanu un viedokli par to lietderību. Pētījuma rezultātā secināts, ka šī pētījuma grupas ietvaros priekšmetiskas darbības rīki tiek izmantoti ikdienā klases darbā sākumskolās Latvijā, taču tie tiek izmantoti šauri, neizmantojot priekšmetiskas darbības rīku pilnu potenciālu. Pētījumā secināts, ka pētījuma mērķa grupas ietvaros priekšmetiskas darbīb…

Good Conscience, False Consciousness, Judging Reason
1972
In all scientific or popular reflections on the theory of practical conduct, during the 20th century, almost no mention is made of a ‘good conscience’: people simply have it1, that means, they are assured of themselves, because they believe themselves to possess the ‘true consciousness’, whereas possible adversaries are flatly accused of manifesting a ‘false consciousness’2. The seeming evidence of this opinion as well as the pious adoption of the conditions and consequences implied in it make the relation of ‘good conscience’ and ‘false consciousness’ an eminent theme of a philosophy striving at unequivocal enlightenment of disguised phenomena through fundamental inquiry. Such a philosophy…
Mitos del amor romántico y autoestima en adolescentes
2019
Los mitos del amor romántico son creencias irracionales socialmente construidas sobre la naturaleza del amor, las cuales estipulan qué es el “amor verdadero”, cuáles son las características deseables al seleccionar pareja, la importancia del amor, las expectativas de futuro y el tipo de relación. La presencia de estas creencias románticas favorece o mantiene la violencia de género en la pareja y las relaciones basadas en el control, las cuales se relacionan con una menor autoestima. El objetivo de este estudio es registrar la interiorización de los mitos del amor romántico en un grupo de adolescentes y analizar su relación con la autoestima. Para la consecución de dicho objetivo, una muestr…
Comparative vs. Transcendental Approaches to Justice: A Misleading Dichotomy in Sen'sThe Idea of Justice
2012
This paper examines the distinction drawn by Amartya Sen between transcendental and comparative theories of justice, and its application to Rawls' doctrine. It then puts forward three arguments. First, it is argued that Sen offers a limited portrayal of Rawls' doctrine. This is the result of a rhetorical strategy that depicts Rawlsian doctrine as more “transcendental” than it really is. Although Sen deploys numerous quotations in support of his interpretation, it is possible to offer a less transcendental interpretation of Rawls. Second, the dichotomy between transcendental and comparative approaches to questions of justice is partly misleading, insofar as any plausible moral doctrine has b…
Economic evaluation of caspofungin vs liposomal amphotericin B for empirical therapy of suspected systemic fungal infection in the German hospital se…
2007
As antifungal agents are frequently used in hematology and oncology, economic data on the empirical therapy of suspected systemic fungal infection are pivotal. Data were analyzed according to: (1) the rate of nephrotoxicity related to treatment with caspofungin in comparison to liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) from a randomized clinical trial, (2) the effect of nephrotoxicity on length of hospital stay from a European observational study, and (3) an example of total bottom-up cost in a department of hematology in Germany. All estimates include 95% confidence intervals (CI) using two-stage Monte Carlo simulation on binominal and Gaussian random variables from separate studies with comparable…
