A Follow-Up On The Changes in the Changes in the Use Intention of Digital Wellness Technologies and Its Antecedents Over Time : The Use of Physical A…

2021

This study aims to further promote the understanding of the antecedents of the acceptance and use of digital wellness technologies among elderly people through a follow-up to our two prior studies, one which examines the potential longer-term temporal changes in the use intention of digital wellness technologies and its antecedents in the case of the young elderly segment and physical activity logger applications. We base this examination theoretically on UTAUT2 and empirically on survey data that is collected from 92 Finnish young elderly users of a physical activity logger application in three subsequent time points and analysed with partial least squares structural equation modelling (PL…

Forming Sustainable Physical Activity Programs Among Young Elderly : A Combined ELM & UTAUT Approach

2021

There is consensus in health studies that regular physical activities of sufficient intensity and duration contribute to better health both in the short and long term. In an ongoing research program, we focus on getting the young elderly, the 60-75 years age group, to adopt and include physical activities as part of their daily routines. One reason for addressing young elderly is large numbers – in Finland health care costs for the elderly was 3.7 B€ in 2019 and will increase dramatically if the young elderly group is in bad shape when they reach the 75+ age group. We are finding out that systematic physical activities can serve as preventive health care for the young elderly. We are also l…

Applying UTAUT2 to Explain the Use of Physical Activity Logger Applications Among Young Elderly

2020

Digital wellness technologies have been proposed as a promising way to promote the levels of physical activity and to solve the prevalent problem of physical inactivity among elderly people. In this study, we propose and test a research model for explaining the acceptance and use of these technologies in the case of the young elderly segment (people aged 60–75 years) and physical activity logger applications. The proposed model is theoretically founded on UTAUT2, and it is empirically tested by using the data collected from 115 Finnish young elderly users of a physical activity logger application and analysed with partial least squares based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). We find …

Sustainable Physical Activity Programs for Young Elderly : A Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach

2020

Physical activity (PA) programs are useful to help young elderly stay in good shape for their senior years. These programs should be sustainable, as this would keep the users active for months and years. A PA program should build on activities that users find meaningful and/or best suited for their history of sports and exercise as well as their present physical capacity. The challenge is to make the best selection from a (long) list of possible activities. We worked out a method to help young elderly to build a sustainable PA program from a set of activities that experts have identified as contributing to health and fitness among young elderly. The method builds on the Analytical Hierarchy…

The use of digital analytics for measuring and optimizing digital marketing performance

2016

Demonstrating the monetary outcomes of marketing is no longer considered a virtue but a necessity by the top management. Marketers are increasingly held accountable for their actions, yet most marketers struggle in their attempts to measure marketing performance. The emergence of digital analytics tools (e.g., Web analytics) has raised optimism of improved measurability due to its ability to track customer behavior in the digital environment. However, research lacks a clear understanding of the opportunities and limitations of digital analytics, and what it takes from an organization to make the most of its usage. The dissertation advances the knowledge in this area by investigating how ind…

Perhemuodon ja sisarusaseman yhteys lapsen sosiaaliseen suosituimmuuteen ja näkyvyyteen ensimmäisellä luokalla

2016

Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin perhemuodon, sisaruuden ja syntymäjärjestyksen yhteyttä lapsen saamaan hyväksyntään ikätovereiden keskuudessa ensimmäisellä luokalla. Tutkittavina oli 154 keskisuomalaista lasta yhdeksältä luokalta. Lapsen sosiaalista suosituimmuutta ja näkyvyyttä arvioitiin ensimmäisen luokan keväällä pyytämällä lapsia mainitsemaan luokkatovereita, joiden kanssa he viettävät mielellään aikaansa ja joiden kanssa he vastaavasti eivät mielellään vietä aikaansa. Perhetaustasta kerättiin tietoa vanhemmilta kyselylomakkeella lasten ollessa esikoulussa. Tulokset osoittivat, että ydinperheessä elävät lapset olivat ikätovereidensa keskuudessa pidetympiä kuin uusperheissä elävät lapset. T…

Zinātnisko institūciju konsolidācija agrārajā sektorā

2017

Darba temats ir zinātnisko institūciju konsolidācija agrārajā sektorā. Darbs sastāv no 61. lpp., tajā skaitā 7 tabulas un 11 attēli. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir pamatojoties uz konsolidācijā iesaistīto agrārā sektora zinātnisko institūciju darbības datu analīzi, identificēt konsolidācijas procesa problēmas un izstrādāt priekšlikumus tās pilnveidei. Mērķa sasniegšanai veicamie uzdevumi: •izpētīt Latvijas un ES zinātniski pētnieciskā darba finansēšanas avotus; •izpētīt konsolidācijas iemeslus un mērķi; •salīdzināt AREI konsolidācijas mērķi ar sasniegto rezultātu. Darba gaitā autore secina, ka Valsts Priekuļu laukaugu selekcijas institūta, Valsts Stendes graudaugu selekcijas institūta un Latvija…

Zālāju kvalitātes ietekme uz dienastauriņu sugu daudzveidību Abavas ielejas sausajos zālājos

2015

Lanka A. (2015) Zālāju kvalitātes ietekme uz dienastauriņu sugu daudzveidību Abavas ielejas sausajos zālājos. Bakalaura darbs. Dienastauriņi ir pazīstami kā apputeksnētāji, bioloģiskās daudzveidības un klimata izmaiņu indikatori, kas apdzīvo zālāju biotopus. Sakarā ar zālāju izzušanu to pastāvēšana ir apdraudēta. Bakalaura darbā apskatīts, kā ar zālāju degradāciju saistītas veģetācijas izmaiņas ietekmē tauriņu sugu daudzveidību, un kā daudzveidība atšķiras pēc apsaimniekošanas atšķirīgos zālājos. Pētījumā noskaidrots, ka pastāv būtiska korelācija starp augu un dienastauriņu sugu skaitu, tauriņu sugu skaits starp dažādiem zalāju tipiem neatsķiras.
