Can Digital Coaching Boost Your Performance? – A Qualitative Study among Physically Active People

2019

The use of sport and wellness technology devices among athletes is highly popular. At the same time the demand for easy to understand, clear, and personalized information is also growing. Instead of numbers, users need and want solutions. Digital coaching can offer solutions for this by providing valuable training data and offering guidance and instructions on how to improve the training. This exploratory study focuses on the experiences, needs, and wants regarding a digital coach application among physically active people, more precisely crosscountry skiers. We found that the digital coach was perceived to have motivational elements. It was also viewed having potential to increase the awar…

The light, the dark, and everything else : making sense of young people's digital gaming

2023

Whether gaming has a beneficial or detrimental effect on young people's lives is a defining feature in both the research and the public discussion of youth digital gaming. In this qualitative study, we draw from a thematic analysis of the experiences of 180 game players in Finland, aged 15–25 years. Utilizing the digital gaming relationship (DGR) theory, we explore how different aspects of gaming actualize in their lives, and how different features of gaming culture participation come together to form their experience. We contend that framing gaming as a balancing act between beneficial and detrimental obscures much of the complexity of young people's gaming, reinforces a partially false di…

On heuristic hybrid methods and structured point sets in global continuous optimization

2004

Heikki Maaranen tutki väitöskirjassaan kuinka globaalin optimoinnin menetelmiä jatkuvien muuttujien tehtäville voidaan parantaa hybridisointia ja strukturaalisia pistejoukkoja käyttämällä. In this work, we concentrate on improving the performance of global methods for continuous optimization via hybridization and the use of structured point sets. Optimization is an important part of solving real-life problems. The problem solving process involves modeling, simulation and optimization of the simulated model, after which the results can be applied into practice, for example, in product manufacturing. Many of the real-life problems can be formulated as global continuous optimization problems. …

Living standards and changing expectations : investigating domestic necessity and environmental sustainability in an affluent society

The survey material provides a tempor…
