Is it a tool or a toy? How user's conception of a system’s purpose affect their experience and use
2019
The boundary between hedonic and utilitarian information systems has become increasingly blurred during recent years due to the rise of developments such as gamification. Therefore, users may perceive the purpose of the same system differently, ranging from pure utility to pure play. However, in literature that addresses why people adopt and use information systems, the relationship between the users conception of the purpose of the system, and their experience and use of it has not yet been investigated. Therefore, in this study we investigate the interaction effects between users’ utility-fun conceptions of the system and the perceived enjoyment and usefulness from its use, on their post-…

Un secteur d'habitat du haut Moyen Âge (VIIe-XIIe siècle) et son espace funéraire à Pfulgriesheim, Rue du Levant (Bas-Rhin)
2022
The preventive archaeological excavations conducted by Inrap under the direction of Édith Peytremann in 2010, in the commune of Pfulgriesheim in the Kochersberg region, led to the discovery of a settlement sector occupied from the middle of the 7th century to the end of the 11th century. The singularity of the site lies in the absence of any pole constructions and the subdivision of the sector, from the 10th century onwards, by building on cellars associated with excavated huts, pits, and silos. The dynamics tend to show a retraction of the latter from the beginning of the 8th century to the middle of the 10th century, while it is marked by the presence of a funerary complex arranged along …
‘Haz lo que puedas’. Un estudio de caso sobre diversidad funcional y Educación Física
2019
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave disponibles en español y en inglés Las experiencias de las personas con diversidad funcional en Educación Física (EF) suelen ser poco satisfactorias. Por ello, se pretende estudiar las experiencias de Félix, un hombre con miopatía congénita y usuario de silla de ruedas. Félix fue escogido para el estudio a propósito, debido a su historial educativo vinculado a las ciencias del deporte y la enseñanza de la EF. Se llevaron a cabo cuatro entrevistas en profundidad. En estas, se repasaron las etapas de Primaria y Secundaria, la Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte y el posterior paso de Félix por el …
Legers erfaring med pasienttilgang til elektronisk sykehusjournal
2019
Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Background: In many countries, patient access to electronic health records (PAEHR), have been or are about to be introduced. So also, in Norway. One hopes that this will increase patient ́s involvement in their own health. Aim:This study aims to learn about doctor ́s experience with PAEHR after three years in a hospital in Norway.Selection and method:This is a qualitative study where eight doctors have been interviewed about their experience with PAEHR. The analysis has been done with the help of “technological frames” as a means to understand information technology and how people interact with it. Result:The stud…
Binding of Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni(2+)-GnRH complexes with the rat pituitary receptor.
1997
Complex of copper with the gonadotropin-releasing hormone, GnRH, competed more efficiently for the GnRH receptor than native GVRH, while complexes of nickel with GnRH and zinc with GnRH had slightly lower affinity. Copper ion added to the incubation mixture inhibited the buserelin binding to the receptor.
Collaborative Mobile Clouds: An Energy Efficient Paradigm for Content Sharing
2018
On the way toward enabling efficient content distribution, reducing energy consumption and prolonging battery life of mobile equipment, an emerging paradigm, i.e., mobile cloud, which is based on content distribution, was proposed. As a mobile platform that is oriented toward content distribution, mobile cloud is also foreseen as an energy-efficient solution for future wireless networks. The benefits of using CMC for content distribution or distributed computing from social networking perspectives have been studied earlier. In this article, we first present the concepts of CMC and then discuss the energy-efficiency benefits from the system-level point-of-view as well as open challenges in d…
Finding Usability Problems in ERP Application Help and End-user Training Material
2017
Over the last decade, many organisations have implemented the standardised information system called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). ERP systems offer great promise for business process improvement, system integration, cost reduction and logistics efficiencies. While millions of dollars have been spent on the implementation of ERP systems, the potential users are still not able to use it. Usability problems are the big barrier preventing end-users from achieving required productivity. This research, based on 80 respondents, tried to find out the usability problems in ERP application Help and end-user training material. The results indicate that 56% of end-users did not consider the ERP …
Multimodal Communication and Peer Interaction during Equation-Solving Sessions with and without Tangible Technologies
2023
Despite the increasing use of technologies in the classroom, there are concerns that technology-enhanced learning environments may hinder students’ communication and interaction. In this study, we investigated how tangible technologies can enhance students’ multimodal communication and interaction during equation-solving pair work compared to working without such technologies. A tangible app for learning equation solving was developed and tested in fourth and fifth-grade classrooms with two class teachers and 24 students. Video data of the interventions were analysed using deductive and inductive content analysis. Coded data were also quantified for quantitative analysis. Additionally, teac…
Serendipity in recommender systems
2018
The number of goods and services (such as accommodation or music streaming) offered by e-commerce websites does not allow users to examine all the available options in a reasonable amount of time. Recommender systems are auxiliary systems designed to help users find interesting goods or services (items) on a website when the number of available items is overwhelming. Traditionally, recommender systems have been optimized for accuracy, which indicates how often a user consumed the items recommended by system. To increase accuracy, recommender systems often suggest items that are popular and suitably similar to items these users have consumed in the past. As a result, users often lose interest…
