Interpretation, Negotiation, Play
2022
Augmented reality (AR) picturebooks combine printed children's literature with augmented reality. This study examines the shared reading of the Finnish AR picturebook Mur, eli karhu (2016) by Kaisa Happonen and Anne Vasko. The main aim of the study is to explore the playful reading experience of three Finnish families with children between the ages of 4 and 6. Three main categories of engagement with the book are discussed in the article: interpretation, negotiation, and play. The findings of the study suggest that children are skilled users of mobile digital media but may not understand the content of AR without parental mediation. In addition, parents and educators are required to have su…
Running faster and jumping higher? Survival and growth in international manufacturing new ventures
2018
Going international early is increasingly the choice of new ventures in manufacturing industries. However, does earliness provide a positive outcome for internationalisation? To answer this, we have longitudinally analysed 3181 manufacturing new ventures established between 2002 and 2012. Using Cox regressions, we found that the 124 late internationals had the lowest risk of failure, while the 229 early internationals could not compensate for their mortality risk with significantly higher levels of growth in the post-internationalisation period. We discuss why an early internationalisation is more perilous than beneficial and provide some suggestions for the internationalisation of new ven…

Examining key drivers of consumer experience with (non-financial) digital services : An exploratory study
2020
Recent advancements in the field of mobile information systems have transformed the consumer lifestyle as well as have changed the digital service landscape globally. This exploratory study identifies and describe key marketing drivers of consumer experience with non-financial transactions available on mobile banking apps. Data were gathered using semi-structured in-depth interviews from 12 respondents in Finland during March and April 2019. The qualitative analysis of the interview transcripts revealed three emerging themes i.e. the mobile banking app experiences and sustained usage of mobile banking apps are largely affected by consumers’ level of knowledge (consumer awareness), usefulnes…
Kroppsbilde og slankefokus blant fysisk aktive gutter i ungdomsskolen og på videregående skole i Norge :
2016
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 The aim of this study was to investigate body image and drive for thinness among adolescent boys, and to examine variations for these variables in age and level of physical activity. This cross-sectional study is part of “the Relevance of Physical Activity Contexts in Every-Day Life of Adolescents” (REPAC), which is a larger project. 1423 boys from secondary school (8th grade) and upper secondary school (11th grade) were included in this study, and these responded to a questionnaire that was developed to examine how different activity contexts affected adolescent boys everyday lives. Correlation analysis and one-way ANOVA tests w…
e-Health and the Internet of Things. Definitions, applications, regulation, actors. Roadmap to a use cases research.
2015
This reports deals with the electronic health (e-Health) as a prism to study the Internet of Things. After having provided the necessary definitions and having described applications, regulators, regulations and actors both in the UK, in the US and in the EU, the author sets the basis for a use cases research regarding the e-prescribing.
Tándem : didáctica de la educación física
2018
El consumo masivo de productos y servicios digitales e internet no se corresponde con la escasa integración de las TIC en la educación y en la Educación Física. Este “cambio sin cambio”, es decir, centros con tecnología que no mejoran la enseñanza, invita a reflexionar sobre la utilidad de las TIC tradicionales y expositivas. La tecnología que mejor parece adaptarse al aprender haciendo y reflexionando sobre la acción, propia de la Educación Física, es la inalámbrica y portable, por ello el aprendizaje móvil con sus tabletas, smartphones y Apps, está llamado transformar la enseñanza de la Educación Física y deportiva.
Retos y oportunidades de la tecnología móvil en la educación física (Challenges and opportunities of mobile technology in physical education).
2019
La educación física (EF) y su profesorado están llamados a seguir procesos de inmersión digital, voluntarios o involuntarios, asociados al consumo masivo de medios y servicios digitales y a las demandas de la sociedad y de la institución educativa. El uso de tecnología, especialmente la móvil, social y ubicua, se generaliza personal y profesionalmente, aunque la escuela sigue sin encontrarle acomodo. Reconoce su potencial didáctico, pero no logra alcanzarlo. En la EF el uso de tecnologías tradicionales y fijas han demostrado su utilidad en la fase preactiva y postactiva del acto didáctico, sin embargo, los aprendizajes en movilidad propios de la fase activa, aconsejan explorar alternativas …
Lexikal transfer från engelska i högstadieelevers och gymnasisters texter samt svensklärares attityder till engelska i det svenska språket
2016
Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa, miten englannin kielen vaikutus näkyy yläasteikäisten ja lukioikäisten kirjoittamissa ruotsinkielisissä teksteissä leksikaalisella tasolla. Lisäksi tutki-muksessa tarkasteltiin ruotsinopettajien asenteita englannin kielen vaikutusta kohtaan ruotsin kielessä. Opettajien asenteita tutkittiin nettikyselyn avulla ja kyselyyn osallistui yhteensä 156 opettajaa. Oppilastekstit valittiin A1- ja A2-tasoilta ja tekstejä oli yhteensä 115. Tutkimustulok-set analysoitiin sekä kvantitatiivisin että kvalitatiivisin menetelmin. Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittavat, että englannin vaikutus näkyy eniten lainasanojen käytössä sekä sanoissa, joissa yhdistyy piirteitä sekä ru…
Inorganic phosphate is a trigger factor for Microbispora sp. ATCC-PTA-5024 growth and NAI-107 production
2014
Background NAI-107, produced by the actinomycete Microbispora sp. ATCC-PTA-5024, is a promising lantibiotic active against Gram-positive bacteria and currently in late preclinical-phase. Lantibiotics (lanthionine-containing antibiotics) are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), encoded by structural genes as precursor peptides. The biosynthesis of biologically active compounds is developmentally controlled and it depends upon a variety of environmental stimuli and conditions. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) usually negatively regulates biologically-active molecule production in Actinomycetes, while it has been reported to have a positive control on lantibiotic…
