The Visual Quality of Urban Park Scenes of Kowloon Park, Hong Kong: Likeability, Affective Appraisal, and Cross-Cultural Perspectives
2005
The urban park is a place where urbanites can escape from the stresses of everyday life. Using a set of fifteen photographs as visual stimuli, we attempted to identify those scenes that are liked by visitors to Kowloon Park, Hong Kong. The visual quality of an urban park scene is measured by its likeability, referring to the probability that the scene will evoke a strong and positive response among the users of the park. Because Hong Kong is an international metropolis, the respondent sample included both Hong Kong residents and tourists. The principal component analysis revealed the three underlying ‘dimensions’ of the appraisal aspects of the data: the ‘affective’ component, the ‘managem…

Study of USH1 Splicing Variants through Minigenes and Transcript Analysis from Nasal Epithelial Cells
2012
Usher syndrome type I (USH1) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital profound deafness, vestibular areflexia and prepubertal retinitis pigmentosa. The first purpose of this study was to determine the pathologic nature of eighteen USH1 putative splicing variants found in our series and their effect in the splicing process by minigene assays. These variants were selected according to bioinformatic analysis. The second aim was to analyze the USH1 transcripts, obtained from nasal epithelial cells samples of our patients, in order to corroborate the observed effect of mutations by minigenes in patient’s tissues. The last objective was to evaluate the nasal ciliary beat fre…

Praktiskajā daļā tiks intervēti eksperti un ar aptaujām veikts pētījums, lai noskaidrotu kā cenu uztveres psiholoģisko aspektu izmantošana uzņēmē…
Savējā un svešā aspekts Ovidija "Skumjajās elēģijās"
2018
Bakalaura darba Savējā un svešā aspekts Ovidija Skumjajās Elēģijās mērķis ir izpētīt ar kādiem valodas līdzekļiem dzejnieks Skumjajās Elēģijās atklāj liriskā varoņa attieksmi attiecībā pret savējo un svešo. Mērķa sasniegšanai darbā tiek apskatīta gan teorētiskā literatūra par savējā un svešā jēdzienu skaidrojumiem, kā arī leksikas un semantikas jautājumiem, gan arī Ovidija trimdas iemesli un Skumjo Elēģiju raksturiezīmes. Darbā tiek analizēts kādus valodas līdzekļus dzejnieks izmanto, lai sasniegtu savu mērķi – atstātu emocionālu iespaidu uz savu elēģiju adresātiem. Paralēli mūsdienu pētnieku viedokļu analīzei Bakalaura darba autors sniedz savu viedokli par Ovidija liriskā varoņa attieksmi …
Perceived collective continuity and ingroup identification as defence against death awareness
2008
"Perhaps unique among the animal species, humans are aware that they will ultimately die. Terror management theory (TMT) posits that investing in a social group helps people to manage paralysing anxiety stemming from death awareness. In line with this proposition, research to date has shown that when reminded of their own mortality, people increase their identification with a relevant group and defend its beliefs, values, and practices. In the reported study, we demonstrate that a mortality salience induction enhances people’s perceptions of group temporal endurance—or perceived collective continuity (PCC), as we define it. Enhanced PCC leads, in turn, to enhanced group identification. This…
Innovation in lighting for enhancing the appreciation and preservation of archaeological heritage
2014
Abstract The cultural content of ancient sites highlights the importance of light, which is an essential tool for the correct appreciation of the historical value and memory of cultural heritage. This should be a new way to highlight significance of fragments in compliance of the surrounding, which has not the same characteristics, to signal a visual path, creating itineraries that involve the context. Light plays a very important role in creating emotion, suggestion, evocation and supporting the visitor experience. Innovative technological solutions should be designed taking into account the kind of landscape and morphological characteristics of the site. This paper presents the study of a…
A behavioural reasoning perspective on the consumption of local food. A study on REKO, a social media-based local food distribution system
2021
Consumption of local food is increasing due to its convenience and multiple perceived benefits. However, the factors shaping consumer attitude towards local food and brand love for local food have received limited academic attention. The study thus investigates the under-explored concept of self-identity, attitude towards local food, and brand love, along with contextual variables with respect to local food consumption. Behavioural Reasoning Theory (BRT) is adopted as the theoretical frame in which self-identity is utilised as value, supporting the environment and positive product perception about the food sold by REKO are the reasons for choosing local food, and negative product perception…
Economic and Psychological Factors in Entrepreneurial Tendency
