Survey of Italian Pediatricians on awareness, experiences and beliefs regarding direct-to-consumer genetic testing in minors
2022

 Background: Our study wanted to assess Italian pediatricians’ awareness, experience and beliefs regarding directto-consumer (DTC) genetic tests (GT) in minors, with a focus on those for predisposition to complex disease, lyfestyle, athletic ability and other inborn talents.
 Methods: A 28-item questionnaire was administered through the SurveyMonkey® web platform to the 9,086 members of the Italian Society of Pediatrics for which a valid email address was available. The survey was opened from April through November 2017. Statistical analyses were performed using the Graphpad software package.
 Results: 36.2% of the 442 respondents were aware of DTC-GT, but only 23.1% of them…
Lietišķo rakstu par TikTok leksiskās īpatnības
2021
Tiktok sociālo mediju uzmanības centrā kļuva 2020. gada jūnijā-septembrī, kad notika konflikts ar Donaldu Trampu, un riskēja tikt aizliegta ASV tirgū, jo tā piederēja Ķīnas uzņēmumam un pastāvēja bažas par datu privātumu. Šo aktuālo tēmu apsprieda vairāki ziņu portāli, taču konflikts nav izpelnījies akadēmisku interesi. Tāpēc darba mērķis ir izpētīt lietišķo rakstu par Tiktok leksiskās īpatnības. Tā kā ziņu vērtības tiek interpretētas, izmantojot leksiskas iezīmes, pētījums koncentrējas uz The Economist un Forbes atlasītā 10 lietišķo rakstu krājuma leksisko analīzi un salīdzina secinājumus. Analīze parādīja, ka tiešsaistes ziņu portāliem ir līdzīgs viedoklis par Tiktok konfliktu ar Donaldu …
The Design Towards a Collaborative Subscription Service : The Case of The Finnish Newspaper Industry
2020
The newspaper industry is challenged with its business models. To stabilize revenues, publishers opted for digital subscriptions for generating additional revenue streams. However, digital subscriptions showcase limited success. News aggregator platforms may promise publishers a pool of paying readers. But platform fees and the loss of customer relationships enact barriers among publishers to join. This study proposes a software prototype based on design science research to address the aforementioned shortcomings by deriving design principles for a collaborative subscription service. Building on the strategic alliance, digital platform and business model literature, this research aims to id…
The Design Towards a News Aggregator Subscription Service: Results from An Online Experiment
2021
The newspaper industry is on a quest to discover sustainable business models. Digital subscriptions are stable revenue generators for most publishers. That being said, smaller publishers face challenges. By not having the same resource base to offset costs compared to larger ones, small publishers are in a constant state of financial unpredictability. Another persistent problem among them is the high churn rate of subscriptions (i.e., the cancelation rate), which suggests a value misalignment between readers and service. New services like news aggregators may promise publishers a large pool of paying readers, as readers have access to diverse content by different publishers and are willing …
Una lectura de les «Regles introductòries a la pràctica de l’Art demostrativa» de Ramon Llull
2022
Una part no menyspreable de les poesies de Ramon Llull va ser escrita per a afavorir la memorització dels fonaments conceptuals i operatius de l’Art. L’Art és una eina intel·lectual complexa i el seu creador era partidari de l’obscuritat didàctica. L’esforç que demana a l’usuari, d’altra banda, és indissociable de la pràctica de la primera intenció, que és conèixer i estimar Déu. És per això que les poesies creades per a aprendre l’Art i practicar-la poden semblar, a primera vista, un bon exemple de trobar clus. La lectura que es proposa en aquest article intenta fer més lleu l’accés a les Regles, pensades per facilitar la pràctica de l’Art demostrativa, el manual d’ús central de l’Art lul·…

Monitoring a meat-free pledge with smartphones:An experimental study
2020
Pledges are a popular strategy to encourage meat reduction, though experimental studies of their efficacy are lacking. Three-hundred and twenty-five participants from three different countries (UK, Germany, Australia) were randomly assigned to pledge 28 days meat-free or not, and their behavior was tracked via smartphones. Participants answered daily surveys regarding their eating behavior, meat cravings, and shared photos of their meals. Baseline data was collected prior to the pledge, after the 28 days, and one-month post-intervention. Participants assigned to the pledge condition ate less meat across the 28 days, compared to control participants. Meat reductions, observed at outtake, did…
Mobilising Consumers for Food Waste Reduction in Finnish Media Discourse
2019
Raippalinna explores how consumers are mobilised for food waste reduction in media discourse. Food waste reduction initiatives are often criticised for putting the responsibility on individual consumers, but little research exists on the mobilisation of consumers in actual contexts. Through critical discourse analysis of media texts, Raippalinna investigates how the food waste problem and consumers are constructed in relation to each other in Finlands leading newspaper Helsingin Sanomat 2010–2017. The analysis demonstrates that the discourses of consumer mobilisation appear mostly as consumer education where the consumer’s role is to manage individual consumption and household practices. Th…
