Towards the integration and development of a cross-European research netwerk and infrastructure : the DEterminants of Diet and Physical ACtivity (DED…
2014
To address major societal challenges and enhance cooperation in research across Europe, the European Commission has initiated and facilitated ‘joint programming’. Joint programming is a process by which Member States engage in defining, developing and implementing a common strategic research agenda, based on a shared vision of how to address major societal challenges that no Member State is capable of resolving independently. Setting up a Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) should also contribute to avoiding unnecessary overlap and repetition of research, and enable and enhance the development and use of standardised research methods, procedures and data management. The Determinants of Diet …
A comparative study on the phase behaviour of highly charged colloidal spheres in a confining wedge geometry
2005
We studied the structures formed in aqueous dispersions of charged colloidal spheres under a constant low salt concentration of c = 6 × 10−6 mol l−1. Particles of diameter 2a = 1000 nm were confined to a low angle wedge geometry with plate separation 0<S<50 µm and observed with video microscopy. Irrespective of the initial particle density n we reproducibly observe the particles to migrate to the narrow wedge side on the timescale of a few days. Thereby an interface between a crystalline structure and a near particle free region is formed, which propagates slowly until the dilute region is exhausted of particles. While the origin of this separation is still unclear, the final extension of t…
Museums as disseminators of niche knowledge: Universality in accessibility for all
2019
Accessibility has faced several challenges within audiovisual translation Studies and gained great opportunities for its establishment as a methodologically and theoretically well-founded discipline. Initially conceived as a set of services and practices that provides access to audiovisual media content for persons with sensory impairment, today accessibility can be viewed as a concept involving more and more universality thanks to its contribution to the dissemination of audiovisual products on the topic of marginalisation. Against this theoretical backdrop, accessibility is scrutinised from the perspective of aesthetics of migration and minorities within the field of the visual arts in mu…

Social Media Marketing and Value Co-Creation
2017
Nowadays social media and brand communities provide virtual places where the consumers can publicize their opinions about products and services and play an active role as marketers, advertisers, value creators through electronic word-of-mouth. Since most of the times these dynamics flow out of business control, in order to pursue firms' objectives, managers and marketers operating in many sectors look at the web social community with growing interest. The present chapter presents a system-wide analysis of the links and feedback mechanisms between the different aspects of value co-creation through social media marketing and brand communities. For the purpose, it is proposed a qualitative mod…
Identifying paths to audience success of media products: the media decision-makers’ perspective
2017
Research on media success factors is a fragmented field. Definitions, measures, and methods vary, and findings are often inconsistent. In an attempt to fill this perceived research gap, we distilled generic success factors of media products from the literature. Guided by theory and empirical findings, these factors were aggregated to complex concepts, building blocks of success that we further investigated in an exploratory qualitative study. We found that the building blocks are applicable to all types of media, independent of seriality and content types of media products. Subsequently the research question of this article is: Which building blocks of success are most important for media p…

Social Media Marketing and Value Co-creation: A Dynamic Performance Management Perspective
2017
The diffusion of web-based technologies has transformed the today consumers, shifting them from mere users to content generators, able to influence each other’s opinions and choices. Such trend discloses important consequences for firms, products and brands. In order to support strategic and operational decision-making, this study frames the phenomenon of social media marketing into the value co-creation paradigm and shows how to design an analytical framework combining performance management and System Dynamics.
The decision support system for telemedicine based on multiple expertise
1998
This paper discusses the application of artificial intelligence in telemedicine and some of our research results in this area. The main goal of our research is to develop methods and systems to collect, analyse, distribute and use medical diagnostics knowledge from multiple knowledge sources and areas of expertise. Use of modern communication tools enable a physician to collect and analyse information obtained from experts worldwide with the help of a decision support medical system. In this paper we discuss a multilevel representation and processing of medical data using a system which evaluates and exploits knowledge about the behaviour of statistical diagnostics methods. The presented te…
