Exploring the elements for value co-creation in consumer information systems in B2B context : a case study on the business event industry

2014

Tämä tutkielma tarkastelee arvon yhteisluontia verkkopalvelussa B2B-kontekstissa käyttäen tutkimuksen toimialana kaupallisia seminaareja ja koulutuksia. Viitekehyksenä tutkimuksessa käytetään arvon yhteisluonnin mallia kuluttajatietojärjestelmissä (CIS), jolla nähdään ammatillisten seminaarien ja koulutusten järjestäjien ja osallistujien (n=22) arvoja ja motivaatioita tapahtumiin osallistumiseen sekä tutkitaan myös mitkä ominaisuudet koetaan tarpeelliseksi toimialan tapahtumien promootioon perustuvaan verkkopalveluun. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tunnistaa arvon yhteisluonnin elementit sekä mahdollisia eroavaisuuksia verkkopalvelun B2B-käyttäjän käyttötarpeissa sekä järjestelmän käyttökokemuk…

Pruebas T vs análisis categorial: evolución de la agilidad en los adultos mayores tras dos años de entrenamiento (T test vs categorical analysis: evo…

2020

Entendiendo que entrenar no siempre significa alcanzar la independencia funcional para un adulto mayor (AM), ni desentrenar perderla, se crearon 4 categorías para valorar el efecto a largo plazo de un programa multicomponente físico-cognitivo sobre el nivel de independencia en sus usuarios. Se evaluaron 25 AM sanos (69.74±5.36 años) a lo largo de dos años, considerando 2 periodos de Entrenamiento (E1, E2; 8 meses cada uno) y Desentrenamiento (D1, D2; 3 meses + 1 de evaluación). Se analizó la agilidad (Time Up&Go Test) por su relación con la marcha y la prevención de caídas. Los cambios de categoría entre periodos se analizaron mediante el test exacto de Fisher, seguido de un ANOVA de me…

Increased airway inflammatory cells in endurance athletes: what do they mean?

2003

Background Inflammatory cells are increased in the airways of end urance athletes, but their role in causing exercise-induced respiratory symptoms and bronchoconstriction, or their possible long-term consequences, are uncertain. Aim To put the results of athlete studies in perspective, by analysing the pathogenesis of airway cell changes and their impact on respiratory function. Results Athletes of different endurance sports at rest showed increased airway neutrophils. Elite swimmers and skiers also showed large increases in airway eosinophils and lymphocytes, possibly related to chronic, exercise-related exposure to irritants or cold and dry air, respectively. Post-exercise studies reporte…

What Can Research on Technology for Learning in Vocational Educational Training Teach Media Didactics?

2013

Information technology is essential in modern societies; this also applies for educational institutions, as they reflect society’s (schooling) values and intentions. Learners are influenced by the use of technology; even if information technology is not always consciously or intentionally applied, it is literally an actual part of everyday life.

Employer Branding Training Development for Public Organisations

2021

In the condition of demographic issues in Europe and competition for specialist between public and private sector on the labour market public organisations’ as employers’ image is an important aspect of development. The research aim is to identify principles of Employer Branding (EB) and ways public organisations can organize and develop employees’ education on this topic. There are EB activities examined in ten socially responsible (SR) organisations from public sector in Latvia. Authors prepare theoretical bases for the research analysing scientific literature to explain the main point of the approaches framework and define the main terms in depth implementing qualitative and quantitative…

The influence of calculation method and relative strength on the load-velocity relationship in bench press exercise

2021

Purpose The objective of this study was: (1) to compare the effect of the calculation method using average (Avalue), and best value (Bvalue) of Mean Propulsive Velocity (MPV) on the Load Velocity Profile (LVprofile) during the barbell bench press exercise in elite handball players. In addition, (2) to analyze the relationship between the individual coefficient of variation (CVind) of an incremental load protocol in the bench press exercise with relative strength (Frel) in professional handball players. Methods Nineteen elite international handball players (age 18 [±1] y; body mass 93 [±14] kg; height 191 [±6] cm) performed an incremental test during the barbell bench press exercise. General…

Safety Culture: The Prediction of Commitment to Safety in the Manufacturing Industry

1998

This paper reports one aspect of a large-scale study of safety culture in 13 companies operating in the manufacturing sector in the UK. The study is based on data collected from three different domains of measurement relevant to the description of safety culture: workplace assessments, a survey of employee attitudes to safety – including questionnaire and interview data – and company accident records. The data described in this paper concern the prediction of perceived commitment to safety from employees' attitudes to safety as reported in a self-administered questionnaire. Commitment to safety was used as a marker of the strength of the organization's safety culture. The data showed that e…

2020

Purpose: To examine the potential sex differences in adaptations to combined endurance and strength training in recreationally endurance trained (eumenorrheic) women (n = 9) and men (n = 10). Methods: Isometric (ISOMmax) and dynamic bilateral leg press (1RM), countermovement jump (CMJ), running performance (3,000 m time trial), lean mass and body fat % (LEAN and FAT% determined by dual X-ray absorptiometry) as well as serum testosterone and cortisol (TES and COR, respectively, measured using hormone-specific immunoassay kits) were examined before a control period and pre, mid, and post a supervised 10-week combined high-intensity interval endurance training (4 × 4 min intervals and 3 × 3 × …

Effect of training on aerobic capacity of female athletes differing in muscle fibre composition

1983

Abstract The effects of endurance training were studied in two groups of female cross‐country skiers who differed in muscle fibre composition. The ST‐group (n = 10) had 56–76% slow twitch (ST) muscle fibres and the FT‐group (n= 10) 40–55% ST fibres in the m. vastus lateralis. During a four‐month period, the subjects trained on the average 81 km per week. The intensive training (heart rate 0–15 beats per min below maximum) averaged 8.5 km per week. The differences in training between the two groups were not significant. The ST‐group significantly increased their cycling maximum oxygen uptake (C max, 4.6%, P <0.01) and the anaerobic threshold (AT, 2.8%, P <0.01) during the training period whe…

Contribution of Woldemar von Knieriem to the Training and Experimental Farm «Peterhof» of Riga Polytechnicum and Riga Polytechnic Institute

2019

The article is dedicated to Professor Woldemar von Knieriem (1849– 1935), who has made a significant contribution to the development of agricultural science, headed the Department of Agriculture of Riga Polytechnic Institute (1903–1906), as well as Training and Experimental Farm «Peterhof» (1880– 1915) near Olaine city. It became a model farm not only in the Baltic region but also throughout the Russian Empire. Professor W. von Knieriem was the Director of RPI (1906–1916), an outstanding organizer and author of scientific works. He provided students with extensive theoretical and practical knowledge in agriculture, focusing on practical, scientifically approbated lessons about the managemen…
