Measuring consumer brand engagement on social media with annoyance as a moderator

2017

Consumer brand engagement (CBE) is indisputably an emerging topic in the marketing literature, yet the amount of research on its antecedents and outcomes is limited. Besides academics, it has also gained traction among practitioners who have started to experiment with new methods to engage consumers with their brands. Most of these marketing efforts have started to take place in social media, as the number of consumers who can be reached with services such as Facebook, Instagram or YouTube is increasing exponentially. While the corporate investments in social media are increasing, many marketing practitioners have trouble reaching the positive outcomes of consumer brand engagement suggested…

De l'égalité formelle aux usages réels : déterminants et effets du suivi des MOOC dans les trajectoires socio-professionnelles

2018

Education and vocational training are central institutions in today’s society. They play an important role in guaranteeing people’s social and professional integration. They are also considered strategic pillars of economic growth in “the knowledge society” (CE, 2000). However, despite their basis in democratic values and principles, there are still many inequalities in access and outcomes in both compulsory academic and vocational education. Moreover, because of the increasing flexibility and insecurity of work in the current labor market, a diploma is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for stable employment. In this context, the rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) raises qu…

Sociālo tīklu lietošanas paradumu atšķirības latviešu un igauņu jauniešu auditorijā: Valkas/Valgas piemērs

2015

Bakalaura darba tēma ir latviešu un igauņu jauniešu sociālo tīklu lietošanas paradumi. Mūsdienās ir plašs sociālo tīklu izvēles klāsts, no kā jaunieši var izvēlēties izmantot sev vēlamos, bet tas katram indivīdam var atšķirties, tāpat kā to lietošanas paradumi. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot latviešu un igauņu jauniešu sociālo tīklu lietošanas paradumu atšķirības, kuras var radīt abu valstu atšķirīgā mediju lietotprasmes iesaiste skolu mācību programmās. Darba teorijas daļā tiek apskatīta mediju lietotprasme, sociālo tīklu attīstība, digitālās paaudzes jēdziens, atklājumi par jauniešu drošību un privātumu sociālajos tīklos, kā arī lietojuma un apmierinājuma teorija. Ar anketēšanas un …

Insights from Operator Interviews

2009

The previous section analysed use of software to improve productivity from a general perspective and provided a quick statistical analysis of software usage to the performance of a CSP. Before conducting elaborated statistical analysis on CSP software usage, we need to gain some insight into operator business and understanding on how operators see the role of software in their business as well as how they acquire software.

Mapping of BLASTP Algorithm onto GPU Clusters

2011

Searching protein sequence database is a fundamental and often repeated task in computational biology and bioinformatics. However, the high computational cost and long runtime of many database scanning algorithms on sequential architectures heavily restrict their applications for large-scale protein databases, such as GenBank. The continuing exponential growth of sequence databases and the high rate of newly generated queries further deteriorate the situation and establish a strong requirement for time-efficient scalable database searching algorithms. In this paper, we demonstrate how GPU clusters, powered by the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), OpenMP, and MPI parallel programmi…

Residential satisfaction and spatial configurations in a periurban area

2011

Since the 1960s, French cities are concerned with an urban sprawl process. This urban sprawl leads to the emergence of a particular space located at the interface between the city and the countryside: the periurban. The social, morphological or the spatial practices of its inhabitants give the suburban a particular singularity and specificity. It is a space of contradiction that attracts both because of the "natural" living environment that it provides to households, but also because of its proximity to the city and the opportunities related to accessibility to various urban amenities.To understand more precisely this enthusiasm for periurban areas, this thesis proposes to explore the indiv…

Reading traffic signs while driving: Are linguistic word properties relevant in a complex, dynamic environment?

2019

When driving a vehicle, do we read the words displayed on traffic signs just as we do in more standard conditions? In the driving context, stimulus quality is generally worse, and reading has to be performed at the same time as we are doing other tasks. In the present work, we examined the effects of word frequency and word length on reading in such circumstances. A stimulus presentation mimicking the approach to the traffic sign increased the effect of word frequency, but not the effect of word length, on reading latency. In addition, performing the reading task while driving along a simulated route produced similar results. Therefore, in the context of the driving activity, the advantage …
