Vivir Mejor: Diseño, desarrollo y evaluación de una intervención online para cambios de estilos de vida en personas con obesidad e hipertensión.
2017
El sobrepeso, la obesidad y la hipertensión son importantes problemas de salud asociadas a graves consecuencias físicas y psicosociales. Los cambios en los estilos de vida son considerados elementos clave en la prevención y tratamiento para estas condiciones médicas. Ambas pueden ser evitadas y/o mejoradas con la instauración de comportamientos saludables, como seguir una dieta saludable y la práctica de actividad física, entre otros. Los datos indican que los tratamientos habituales en los hospitales y los servicios de salud para promover estos cambios en los hábitos no son lo suficientemente eficaces. Urgen soluciones innovadoras que ayuden a intervenir de manera eficaz y coste-efectiva e…
Difficult but Valuable! Learning in Student-centered Assessment Feedback Practices in Higher Education
2022
Aims: The aim of this study is to fill a gap in research on students' experiences of learning in student-centered assessment feedback practices. The article examines what students tell us about their learning in the context of student-centered feedback practices in higher education during online learning.
 Study Design: The study was conducted as a qualitative online survey among Finnish university students (N=35). The relationship between learning and assessment was explored in the context of formative and summative assessment practices during an online learning environment. The data was analysed using a discursive approach.
 Place and Duration of Study: The research was conducte…

Consumer Engagement in Online Settings: Conceptualization and Validation of Measurement Scales
2015
This paper addresses the conceptualization, scale development and scale validation related to the study of consumer engagement in online settings. It first reviews this concept and draws attention to the multidimensionality of the construct, considering the underlying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions of consumer engagement. Then, it presents the foundation of this concept in relationship marketing and adds support to this proposition. Further, it proposes the construction and psychometric assessment of a 37 scales that examine all three dimensions, based on an international sample of 110 respondents who engage with a brand on a social media network. Based on multiple and succ…
Examining Online Shopping Services in Relation to Experience and Frequency of Using Internet Retailing
2013
E-shopping has the potential to replace traditional in-store shopping. It is well perceived that information and communication technologies have great impacts on modern society - they are changing how and where we work, shop, and in general terms how we live our lives. In this study, we use a survey instrument to examine the association between experience level with Internet and e-shopping and consumers’ frequency of online purchasing, while considering sex as a passive influencer. We study these relationships in a multinomial logistic regression model that is aimed at online retailers to help them improve their understanding of their consumers’ characteristics and propensity to buy through…
The Most Invisible Maternal Experience? Analysing How Maternal Regret Is Discussed in Finland
2021
AbstractIn Finland, becoming a mother is often constructed as an individual choice that ultimately leads to personal fulfilment and happiness, despite the occasional ‘negative’ feelings associated with motherhood such as exhaustion, frustration and tiredness. In this cultural atmosphere, maternal regret continues to be a subject that is hidden, forbidden and rarely scrutinised. It is perhaps surprising that in one of the world’s most gender egalitarian countries, which is also perceived to be one of the best countries in which to be a mother, women still testify that motherhood is limited to survival. We argue that, somewhat paradoxically, discussing the negative emotions of motherhood migh…
Ideas, conceptos y dilemas para la implementación de una plataforma nacional de ODR en materia de consumo en Chile desde la perspectiva UE
2019
En la presente tesis hemos desarrollado una extensiva investigación monográfica en busca del concepto de ODR (online dispute resolution), el cual se encuentra en un constante desarrollo en el quehacer jurídico procesal comparado, sobre todo en materia del derecho de consumidor en el espacio de integración de la Unión Europea, con el impulso otorgado a la materia por la directiva 2011/2013 EU y el Reglamento 534/2013 EU,y la consecuente transposición de dichas normas a las tradiciones jurídicas de los Estados miembros. La búsqueda para generar un marco jurídico cada vez más proclive al consumidor dentro del mercado único europeo, ha impulsado el desarrollo de la legislación comunitaria, y la…
Students' abilities to evaluate the credibility of online texts: The role of internet‐specific epistemic justifications
2021
Previous evaluation studies have rarely used authentic online texts and investigated upper secondary school students' use of evaluation criteria and deep reasoning. The associations between internet-specific epistemic justifications for knowing and credibility evaluation of online texts are not yet fully understood among adolescents. This study investigated upper secondary school students' (N = 372) abilities to evaluate self-selected authentic online texts and the role of internet-specific epistemic justifications in students' evaluation performance when solving a health-related information problem. Students selected three texts with Google Custom Search Engine and evaluated their credibil…
Approximation of pre-twisted Achilles sub-tendons with continuum beam elements
2022
Achilles sub-tendons are materially and geometrically challenging structures that can nearly undergo around 15% elongation from their pre-twisted initial states during physical activities. Sub-tendons' cross-sectional shapes are subject-specific, varying from simple to complicated. Therefore, the Achilles sub-tendons are often described by three-dimensional elements that lead to a remarkable number of degrees of freedom. On the other hand, the continuum-based beam elements in the framework of the absolute nodal coordinate formulation have already been shown to be a reliable and efficient replacement for the three-dimensional continuum elements in some special problems. So far, that element …
“I Am Your Fan; Bookmarked!” Members’ Identification Development in Founder-Led Online Communities
2019
In this study, we present the findings from an inductive and interpretive case study of a founder-led online community (OC), exploring how members’ identification develops within the community over time. Using a longitudinal study of an OC that was founded by a reputable individual, it is shown that members were first attracted to the OC through their affective and cognitive identification with the founder; however, over time, they developed identification through social interaction with other members. The findings show that this transformation was enabled by the founder’s communication behavior, which not only led to inspired and engaged members but also to the emergence of new leaders who…
