Why have consumers opposed, postponed, and rejected Innovations during a pandemic? A Study of mobile payment Innovations

2021

The highly infectious nature of the COVID-19 virus has made the use of contactless payment methods a health exigency. Yet, consumers are resisting using mobile payments (m-payments) during the pandemic, a confounding behavior that needs to be better understood. The present study explicates this behavior by examining consumer resistance to m-payments during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, it provides more granular findings by measuring three levels of resistance/non-adoption, namely, postponement, opposition, and rejection. In this way, the study adds depth to the literature, which has largely examined resistance at an aggregate level to yield generic findings. Toward this end, the study…

THE CARMA INTEREST RATE MODEL

2014

In this paper, we present a multi-factor continuous-time autoregressive moving-average (CARMA) model for the short and forward interest rates. This model is able to present an adequate statistical description of the short and forward rate dynamics. We show that this is a tractable term structure model and provides closed-form solutions to bond prices, yields, bond option prices, and the term structure of forward rate volatility. We demonstrate the capabilities of our model by calibrating it to a panel of spot rates and the empirical volatility of forward rates simultaneously, making the model consistent with both the spot rate dynamics and forward rate volatility structure.

Implant-supported overdenture with horizontal insertion for treating the edentulous atrophic maxilla: A case series

2020

Abstract Statement of problem Rehabilitation of edentulous patients with severe maxillary atrophy is a clinical challenge. Although several treatment options are available, the implant-supported overdenture has been widely advocated. However vertical insertion implant-supported overdentures have drawbacks, including wear, aging, and the continuous maintenance of retention systems. Whether an implant-supported overdenture with a horizontal insertion pathway can overcome these problems is unclear. Purpose The purpose of this observational study was to determine the clinical and biological behavior of a new type of implant-supported overdenture with a horizontal insertion pathway over a mean c…

The diversion of institution

2010

The diversion of an institution is a notion which was established by the jurisprudence of the « French Court of Cassation », in the early 1990s, about adoption and the phenomena of surrogate mothers.From a chronological point of view, the diversion of institution first broke away from the studies of the doctrine dedicated to the abuse of rights , and was first used by the jurisprudence in labour law, before being dedicated to family rights. Because it deals with diversion of the finality of a legal system institution, it is often confused with the abuse of rights, the abuse of power, and fraud of the law or similar. Nevertheless, common points between the diversion of institution and other …

L'homosexualité et la constitution de la famille : situations française et européenne

2016

The 2013-404 law of 17 May 2013 which opened up the possibility for people of the same gender to get married shows a turning point for the family rights in France. This law, sometimes described as a real tsunami, is the outcome of taking into account the homosexuals' claim for starting a family. Before 2013 the French right did not allow a homosexual couple to be a homoparental family. It did not authorize people of the same gender to get married. Moreover Assisted Reproduction is only reserved to heterosexual couples and Gestation for Others is strictly forbidden in France. This seemingly constrained consensus on the non-legal recognition of the homosexual family is reinforced by the Europ…

L'adozione nel contesto e co-testo scuola. Literature review su adozione-scuola con Atlas.ti

Our research wants to be a meta-analysis work; its purpose is to focus on adoption and to analyse the “textual-semantic correlates” through which this topic has been understood and interpreted by international literature. In particular, the aim is to describe and codify the semantic-linguistic treatment of “adoption of children” theme with reference to school adjustment issue. In the title of the following thesis, “Adoption in the school context and co-text”, the term co-text (stemming from linguistics) points out the inquiry function in texts and the purpose of meta-reflective comparison among texts of articles coming from the journals with a high impact factor. After selecting those journ…

Proceedings XVII NATIONAL CONGRESS ITALIAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION CLINICAL AND DYNAMIC SECTION MILAZZO, MESSINA - SEPTEMBER 25-27 2015 Abstracts

2015

Introduction National and international literature shows many studies and reflections about different aspects of adoption, especially focused on parents-child attachment relationship, as well as on children’s psychosocial adjustment. Current research directions in Psycho-Juridical work’s efficacy regarding adoption process and its outcomes are limited. Particularly, the adoption matching process evolves and develops over time, as strongly influenced not only by the characteristics of everyone involved (adoptive couple and child) as well as by the professionals’ actions that operators do before, during and after the adoption process. Objectives Our main objective is to examine the progress o…

Holden Lori with Hass Crystal: The open-hearted way to open adoption. Helping your child growing up whole

2015

An open adoption is a way of keeping in contact with the biological roots, maybe more suitable for children adopted in their early infancy than later. In fact, children in older adoption age, coming from a pre-adoptive adverse environment (abuse, neglect, violence, poverty, etc.), may invoke oblio right ,tore-create themselves in the new family.

School climate as predictor of teachers’ capacity to meet the educational needs of adopted children in Italy

2020

The current study examines the association between different components of school climate (teacher–principal and teacher–parent relationships, parents’ involvement in school activities, connection between school and the local services) and teachers’ competences and knowledge regarding the adoption experience. Participants were 573 teachers (95.7% women; mean age = 47.06, SD = 8.66, ranging between 25 and 65) residing in three Italian regions characterised by rates of international adoptions that are higher than the national average. The association between school climate and teachers’ knowledge and competences on adoption was evaluated via independent multiple logistic regression analyses. …
