Incidentality on a continuum: A comparative conceptualization of incidental news consumption
2020
This article seeks to contribute to theorizing the dynamics of incidental news consumption. Through an analysis of 200 semi-structured interviews with people in Argentina, Finland, Israel, Japan, and the United States, we show that intentionality in news consumption can be viewed on a continuum, which goes from deliberately setting apart time to access the news on specific outlets to skimming through unsought-for news on social and broadcast media, with intermediate practices such as respondents setting up an environment where they are more or less likely to encounter news. Drawing on structuration theory, this article conceptualizes incidental news in the context of the wider media environ…
Infographics as a Reflective Assignment Method in Requirements Engineering e-Course?
2019
Our Work in Progress Paper in Innovative Practice Category focuses on how learners’ experience use of infographics in advanced level e-course on requirements engineering (RE). Infographics are visual representations of information in such a way that information can be easily understood at a glance. Most of the previous infographics studies have been conducted in the context of inquiry learning. To complement this research, we studied how learners experience use of infographics as a method for reflective assignment and hence if the usage of infographics supported conceptualization about RE. We adopted a qualitative content analysis approach, applying thematic network analysis to the data rec…
Using AI to personalise emotionally appealing advertisement
2019
Personal data and information collected online by companies can be used to design and personalise advisements. This chapter extends existing research into the online behavioural advertising by proposing a model that incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning into developing emotionally appealing advertisements. It is proposed that big data and consumer analytics collected through AI from different sources will be aggregated to have a better understanding of consumers as individuals. Personalised emotionally appealing advertisements will be created with this information and shared digitally using pragmatic advertising strategies. Theoretically, this chapter contributes towards…
Face and Content Validity of the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Water Competence in Young Children
2022
An international group of experts have developed a pictorial tool to measure perceived water competence for children aged from 5 to 8 years old: the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Water Competence (PSPWC). The aim of the present study was to verify the validity of this tool. In the first part of the study, 120 children were interviewed to investigate face validity of the PSPWC to ensure that all pictorial items were understandable. In the second part of the study, 13 scientific and/or pedagogical international experts were invited to assess the tool’s content validity via an online survey. Face validity results revealed that children were able to understand and sequence correctly the aq…
Opciones alternativas para prescribir actividad física entre niños y adolescentes obesos: marcha rápida con el apoyo de videojuegos activos
2015
Background: Physical inactivity has been identified as an important public health concern for children. An increasing sedentary way of life is directly related to obesity; hence, prevention and management of childhood obesity are commonly based on lifestyle interventions wherein increasing physical activity is one of the main targets. The use of exergames can be useful in promoting physical activity, but it is necessary more research. This study analyzes the effects of an exergaming platform that involves brisk walking, on perceived exertion, self-efficacy, positive expectations and satisfaction in a sample of clinically obese children, as compared with normal weight children. Physiological…
Mobilo vizuālo ierīču izmantošana redzes uztveres pētījumos
2016
Bakalaura darbā ir pētīta VirtualRealiy iekārta un tās pielietošanas iespējas redzes uztveres uzdevumos. Tika izveidots režģu virziena uztveres adaptācijas uzdevums ahromātiskajiem un krāsainajiem stimuliem, kuru var veikt ar VirtualReality iekārtas un viedtālruņa palīdzību. Adaptācijas uzdevums tika veikts pie dažādiem adaptācijas laikiem un mainīga vienas acs stimula kontrasta. Tāpat tika noteikti un salīdzināti viedtālruņu starojuma spektri, lai novērtētu dažādu displeju pielietojums šādu redzes uztveres uzdevumu izpildei. Literatūras pārskatā ir apkopoti avoti no 1981. līdz 2015. gadam. Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā, tā apjoms ir 27 lpp. Darbs satur 14 attēlus, 3 tabulas…
The Employer Perception of Non-linear Educational Pathways. A Vignette Study with French Employers
2018
International audience; We explore the relationship between educational pathways and labour market entry with vignette study. We stimulate a hiring process with a sample of recruiters and we analyze the role of schooling discontinuities in the screening of applicant resumes. Applicant may follow di fferent pathways: some of them are graduated on time, others face delay because they had a job or because they traveled abroad. Then, we analyze the determinants of employers' preferences with regressions: the likelihood to hire the candidate is used as dependent variable. We show that temporary schooling interruption has a negative effect on recruiters rating if applicant do not specify the reas…
The aporia of the European myth. How LGBTI+ migrants are stranded in the Italian reception system
2021
Considerando l’aumento di migranti e la tipologia di accoglienza orientata ad un approccio assistenziale standardizzato e omogeneo, il presente articolo indaga gli effetti della preponderanza di un sistema di prima accoglienza, nell’identificazione ed assistenza ai richiedenti asilo SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity). La risposta tempestiva di un apparato di accoglienza basato su un approccio di sopravvivenza a breve termine, tende a ignorare le particolari esigenze dei richiedenti asilo SOGI, e di sottovalutare il rischio di violenza dentro dei centri dalla parte degli altri ospiti. Quindi, questo saggio intende riflettere se, i migranti SOGI sono una categoria vulnerabile per s…
Consecuencias psicológicas del maltrato en menores expuestos a violencia de género : regulación emocional, funciones ejecutivas y autoconcepto
2013
INTRODUCCIÓN Y MARCO TEÓRICO: Cada vez existe mayor evidencia de las repercusiones que comporta la exposición del maltrato en el desarrollo y salud mental de los menores, hijos e hijas de mujeres maltratadas. Es por ello que en los últimos tiempos está aumentando el interés social sobre las consecuencias psicológicas que supone estar expuesto al maltrato. Sin embargo, todavía hay pocos estudios que se dirijan a evaluar y corroborar dichos efectos en esta población. Según el modelo del Trauma Complejo, algunas situaciones traumáticas podrían producir un efecto mayor y más prolongado en la persona que lo sufre en función de algunas variables. Así, las experiencias traumáticas que se dan en la…
Incidence and dynamics of active cytomegalovirus infection in allogeneic stem cell transplant patients according to single nucleotide polymorphisms i…
2014
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in the activation or regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses may modulate the susceptibility to and the natural history of certain chronic viral infections. The current study aimed to investigate whether donor and recipient SNPs in the chemokine receptor 5 (rs1800023), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (rs13900), interleukin-10 (rs1878672), and Toll-like receptor 9 (rs352140) genes would exert any influence on the rate of incidence and features of CMV DNAemia in the allogeneic stem cell transplantation setting. This was a retrospective observational multicenter study. The cohort consisted of 102 non-consecutive allogeneic …
