Masculine (Low) Digit Ratios Predict Masculine Food Choices in Hungry Consumers
2021
Abstract This study investigated the link between individuals’ 2D:4D digit ratio (a biomarker associated with prenatal testosterone exposure) and their inclination to make masculine food choices. Furthermore, the study investigated whether this potential association would be moderated by consumers’ levels of hunger (vs. satiation). Participants (N = 216; 50% female) made a set of binary food choices between items pretested to be perceived as masculine (vs. feminine) and indicated the lengths of their second (2D) and fourth (4D) digits (i.e., index and ring fingers), which were used to calculate their 2D:4D digit ratios. Additionally, they self-reported their self-perceived gender identity a…
La ratio interdigital D2:D4 y su relación con otros indicadores de androgenización en progenitores de personas con trastornos del espectro autista
2013
The 2D:4D ratio is the quotient between the index and ring finger lengths and is a non-direct indicator of androgenisation. If prenatal testosterone levels in the amniotic fluid are high then the probability increases of developing lower ratio values. It has been suggested that people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their parents may have highly androgenised brains, and for this reason the 2D:4D ratio is used as a marker of such idiosyncrasies. This study aims to analyse if parents of people with ASD differ from the general population in several parameters of androgenisation related to the 2D:4D ratio. The sample was composed of 43 parents of offspring with ASD and 42 controls who …
2D:4D in Men Is Related to Aggressive Dominance but Not to Sociable Dominance
2012
It has been shown that a smaller ratio between the length of the second and fourth digit (2D:4D) is an indicator of the exposure to prenatal testosterone (T). This study measured the 2D:4D of men and assessed dominance as a personality trait to investigate indirectly if the exposure to prenatal T is related to a dominant personality later in life. Results showed that men had a more aggressive dominant personality when having a more masculine (lower) 2D:4D, while there was no relationship between sociable dominance and 2D:4D. Findings from this study indicate that it is important to distinguish different forms of dominance since other studies failed to find relationships between dominance an…
A Digital Twin predictive maintenance framework of air handling units based on automatic fault detection and diagnostics
2022
The building industry consumes the most energy globally, making it a priority in energy efficiency initiatives. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems create the heart of buildings. Stable air handling unit (AHU) functioning is vital to ensuring high efficiency and extending the life of HVAC systems. This research proposes a Digital Twin predictive maintenance framework of AHU to overcome the limitations of facility maintenance management (FMM) systems now in use in buildings. Digital Twin technology, which is still at an initial stage in the facility management industry, use Building Information Modeling (BIM), Internet of things (IoT) and semantic technologies to create…
Digitaalisen markkinointiviestinnän osaaminen ja kyvykkyydet
2017
Tutkielma käsittelee digitaalisen markkinointiviestinnän osaamista ja kyvykkyyksiä. Tutkielman tarkoitus on selvittää millaisia digitaalisia markkinointiviestintä kyvykkyyksiä ja osaamista organisaatioilta pitäisi löytyä, jotta se voi menestyä. Jotta digitaalisen markkinointiviestintä kyvykkyyksien ja osaamisen voidaan ymmärtää, on aluksi ymmärrettävä mitä digitaalisella markkinointiviestinnällä, resursseilla, kyvykkyydellä tarkoitetaan. Tässä kandidaatintutkielmassa pyritään selittämään nämä kyseiset termit kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla. This thesis investigates digital marketing communications competence and capabilities. It aims to examine what kind of capabilities and competencies organ…
Digital Texts for Learning Finnish: Shared Resources and Emerging Practices
2013
Recent studies in the field of new literacies have indicated that a remarkable change in the way we access, consume, and produce information has taken place. The boundaries between concepts such as authorship and ownership have become blurred. This paper will deal with using digital texts in teaching reading comprehension on a university-level course with a special focus on Finnish as a second language. Furthermore, the benefits and challenges of teaching L2 reading comprehension in a multimodal learning environment will be discussed. The three main perspectives utilized are meaningfulness, sharing, and adaptivity. The students attending the course described in the paper were advanced unive…
The Insolvency of Cryptocurrency Exchanges: Lessons from the BitGrail Case — Reification of Coins, Pari Passu Ranking, and Nominalism
2019
This paper deals with a recent trend in insolvency of cryptocurrency platforms; comments on the BitGrail case (Court of Florence 17/2019, 21 January 2019) and argues that this decision balances the need to grant legal protection to the injured users and the need to prevent them from having the status of owners, jumping the queue and getting a head start over the other creditors of the platform.
Towards which expressive horizons?
2012
Today’s explosive developments in digital technology have also affected architecture and urban landscape. The new possibilities opened up by digital simulation have led to an increasingly strategic approach to planning, an approach based on generating scenarios, which thus represents a radical departure from traditional planning. But, up to now, what is the prevalent trend in architecture? Can we talk yet in term of language? Or have the extreme freedom in design destroyed the style? In this paper we present an analysis of the contemporary architecture, strongly influenced by digital technologies, through an objective analysis of several case-studies and we show the first result of this in …

Institutional Entrepreneurship, Trust and Regulatory Capture in the Digital Economy
2019
In regard to the problem of the new markets’ opening and their regulation, some scholars have introduced the concept of “institutional entrepreneur” in economic literature. This new definition of entrepreneur is important to highlight, albeit in informal and descriptive terms, the existence of functional relationships between activities typical of private market competition and those more specifically, of the public sector. Even if this new economic character can provide an interesting key to understanding what can really happen in the narrow zone that separates the public and private markets, it does not consider some conceptual components that are not minor for the purposes of complete ch…
