The Effects of Consumer Demographics and Payment Method Preference on Product Return Frequency and Reasons in Online Shopping
2021
In online shopping, product returns are very common. In order to reduce them, one must first understand who are making them and why are they being made. In this study, we aim to address these questions by examining product return behaviour from a consumer-centric rather than the more traditional product-centric, retailer-centric, and order-centric perspectives. More specifically, we focus on the effects of four demographic characteristics of consumers (i.e., gender, age, education, and income) as well as their payment method preference on their product return frequency and product return reasons. As the data, we use the responses from 560 Finnish online consumers, which were collected with …
Porolaidunnuksen vaikutus sammalten monimuotoisuuteen tuottavilla ja vähätuottoisilla tuntureilla pohjoisessa Fennoskandiassa
2010
Laiduntajat vaikuttavat kasvillisuuteen useilla sekä suorilla että epäsuorilla mekanismeilla, joista epäsuorat voivat olla ekosysteemiprosessien kannalta tärkeämpiä. Vähätuottoisella tundralla kasvinsyöjien vaikutuksen kasvillisuuteen tiedetään olevan merkittävä, mutta suuri osa tutkimuksesta on keskittynyt laiduntajien ravintokasveihin. Tundralla sammalet muodostavat suuren osan kasviyhteisöjen biomassasta ja monimuotoisuudesta, ja niiden on havaittu toimivan laiduntajien vaikutusten välittäjinä muuhun kasvillisuuteen ja maaperään. Laidunnuksen vaikutuksia sammalyhteisöihin on kuitenkin tutkittu hyvin vähän. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin poron (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) laidunnukse…
On the mechanism of imine elimination from Fischer tungsten carbene complexes
2016
(Aminoferrocenyl)(ferrocenyl)carbene(pentacarbonyl)tungsten(0) (CO)5W=C(NHFc)Fc (W(CO)5(E-2)) is synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of the ethoxy group of (CO)5W=C(OEt)Fc (M(CO)5(1Et)) by ferrocenyl amide Fc-NH– (Fc = ferrocenyl). W(CO)5(E-2) thermally and photochemically eliminates bulky E-1,2-diferrocenylimine (E-3) via a formal 1,2-H shift from the N to the carbene C atom. Kinetic and mechanistic studies to the formation of imine E-3 are performed by NMR, IR and UV–vis spectroscopy and liquid injection field desorption ionization (LIFDI) mass spectrometry as well as by trapping experiments for low-coordinate tungsten complexes with triphenylphosphane. W(CO)5(E-2) decays thermally i…
Body weight and premature retirement : population-based evidence from Finland
2021
Background Health status is a principal determinant of labour market participation. In this study, we examined whether excess weight is associated with withdrawal from the labour market owing to premature retirement. Methods The analyses were based on nationally representative data from Finland over the period 2001–15 (N ∼ 2500). The longitudinal data included objective measures of body weight (i.e. body mass index and waist circumference) linked to register-based information on actual retirement age. The association between the body weight measures and premature retirement was modelled using cubic b-splines via logistic regression. The models accounted for other possible risk factors and p…
Safety Evaluation of Turbo-Roundabouts with and without Internal Traffic Separations Considering Autonomous Vehicles Operation
2021
The paper presents a microsimulation approach for assessing the safety performance of turbo-roundabouts where Cooperative Autonomous Vehicles “CAVs” have been introduced into the traffic mix alongside conventional vehicles “CVs”. Based on the analysis of vehicle trajectories from VISSIM and subsequent analysis of traffic conflicts through the Surrogate Safety Assessment Model (SSAM), the research aims to evaluate the safety benefits of turbo-roundabouts where the lanes are physically separated by raised curbs, compared to roundabouts without such curbs. The paper will then describe the methodological path followed to build VISSIM models of turbo-roundabouts with and without raised curbs in …
Modello di capacità e valutazione delle prestazioni per le rotatorie a turbina.
2008
L’evoluzione più recente delle intersezioni a rotatoria si è indirizzata verso schemi cosiddetti a turbina (turborotatorie) con l’obiettivo di garantire condizioni di sicurezza più elevate rispetto agli schemi tradizionali. I pochi esempi di realizzazione delle rotatorie a turbina non hanno tuttavia finora consentito di sviluppare metodi di analisi delle condizioni operative e modelli di capacità che possano vantare una validazione attraverso osservazioni di campo. In ogni caso, l’approccio teorico allo studio funzionale delle turborotatorie presenta aspetti decisamente più complessi di quelli delle rotatorie convenzionali sia a causa delle traiettorie dei flussi in ingresso (costretti ad i…
La nautica da diporto: una modalità di trasporto tipicamente turistica
2006
Alcune tipologie di trasporto hanno un carattere eminentemente turistico perché sono utilizzate quasi esclusivamente come mezzo per la fruizione del soggiorno vacanziero, come si verifica per impianti a fune, nautica da diporto, charter nautico, crociere. Rientrano parzialmente in questa categoria anche i voli low cost che sono stati considerati nello specifico capitolo sui trasporti. Si è scelto di indagare un comparto particolarmente rilevante della nautica da diporto, che rappresenta una delle segmentazioni più significative delle vacanze balneari

Gramatikas kļūdu analīze 12. klases angļu valodas eksāmena rakstiskajā daļā
2016
Angļu valodas centralizētais eksāmens 12. klasei sastāv no atsevišķām sadaļām katras valodas prasmes pārbaudei, bet rakstīšanas daļa sevī ietver vairāku prasmju pārbaudi. Rakstīšana un gramatika ir cieši saistītas. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir reģistrēt un klasificēt 12. klases skolēnu pieļautās gramatiskās kļūdas 2014. un 2015. gada centralizēto angļu valodas eksāmenu esejās. Diskursa analīze ir galvenā šī darba pētījuma metode. Pētījuma ietvaros tika analizētas simts esejas un noteiktas tajās esošās biežākās gramatiskās kļūdas un to cēloņi. Pētījuma rezultāti rāda, ka visbiežāk pieļautās gramatiskās kļūdas ir nepareizs artikulu lietojums, lietvārda un darbības vārda saskaņošana un nepareiza vārd…
