When more is less: The other side of artificial intelligence recommendation

2022

Based on consumers' preferences, AI (artificial intelligence) recommendation automatically filters information, which provokes scholars' debate. Supporters believe that by analyzing the consumers' preferences, AI recommendation enables consumers to choose products more quickly and with lower cost. Critics deem that consumers are more easily trapped in information cocoons because of the use of AI recommendation. This reduces the possibility of consumers contacting with a variety of commodities, thus lowering the consumer decision quality. Based on experiments, this paper discusses the moderating role of AI recommendation on the relationship of consumers' preferences and information cocoons. …

Network ties in the international opportunity recognition of family SMEs

2011

The importance of network ties is emphasized in the current literature on opportunity recognition. However, it is unclear how firms with limited bridging networks, such as family SMEs, recognize international opportunities through their network ties. In this case study we found that in gaining foreign market entry, those family SMEs that lack existing network ties recognize opportunities through weak ties formed in international exhibitions. The findings also indicate that rather than being proactive, family SMEs respond reactively to opportunities that emerge coincidentally. The trustfulness of the tie is important when they consider these opportunities and form new ties for internationali…

Oppdragelsessyn i endring? : En komparativ studie av populære oppdragelsesbøker utgitt i Norge i perioden 1950-2000

2017

Masteroppgave pedagogikk PED511 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 The topic of this assignment is to study if the view of parenting has changed in Norway. There have been many discussions about parenting and what it entails. This study is limited to popular books that have been released in Norway between 1950 and 2000. The parenting books emphasise different aspects in the children’s upbringing and how that positively affects their development. The primary research question is to examine the views of parenting and its development from four books from the selected period: “Barneoppdragelse” by Lise Østlyngen (1950), “Barn og foreldre: barneoppdragelse i praksis” by Hambro & Moa (1966), “Elsker du…

Viral and cellular determinants of hepatitis C virus RNA replication in cell culture.

2003

Studies on the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been facilitated by the development of selectable subgenomic replicons replicating in the human hepatoma cell line Huh-7 at a surprisingly high level. Analysis of the replicon population in selected cells revealed the occurrence of cell culture-adaptive mutations that enhance RNA replication substantially. To gain a better understanding of HCV cell culture adaptation, we characterized conserved mutations identified by sequence analysis of 26 independent replicon cell clones for their effect on RNA replication. Mutations enhancing replication were found in nearly every nonstructural (NS) protein, and they could be subdivided into at …

Extraction d'un graphe de navigabilité à partir d'un nuage de points 3D enrichis

2017

International audience; Ce travail se place dans le cadre général du projet ANR pLaTINUM lié à la navigation autonome et plus parti-culièrement à la génération de cartes pour la navigation basée perception. Il consiste à développer une nouvelle méthode pour résumer une carte 3D (un nuage dense de points 3D) et extraire un graphe de navigabilité facilitant l'utilisation de cette carte par des systèmes de navigation à ressources matérielles limitées (smart-phones, voitures, robots.. .). Cette méthode vise à ex-traire les régions les plus saillantes de l'environnement étudié afin de construire une carte récapitulative. Ce processus de résumé de carte basé sur la vision est appliqué d'une façon…

Positive Effects of Videogame Use on Visuospatial Competencies: The Impact of Visualization Style in Preadolescents and Adolescents

2019

Use of videogames (VGs) is almost ubiquitous in preadolescents' and adolescents' everyday life. One of the most intriguing research topics about positive effects of VG use is about the domain of visuospatial competencies. Previous research show that training with videogames enables children and adolescents to improve their scores in visuospatial tests (such as mental rotation of shapes and cubes), and that such training could overcome gender differences in these domains. Our study aimed at (1) verifying the positive effects of videogame use in the visuospatial domain both for male and female adolescents and preadolescents and (2) verifying whether the visualization style (2D or isometric 3D…

Lidar detection of carbon dioxide in volcanic plumes

2015

Volcanic gases give information on magmatic processes. In particular, anomalous releases of carbon dioxide precede volcanic eruptions. Up to now, this gas has been measured in volcanic plumes with conventional measurements that imply the severe risks of local sampling and can last many hours. For these reasons and for the great advantages of laser sensing, the thorough development of volcanic lidar has been undertaken at the Diagnostics and Metrology Laboratory (UTAPRAD-DIM) of the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA). In fact, lidar profiling allows one to scan remotely volcanic plumes in a fast and continuous way, and with high s…
