Virkakieltä verkossa : miten Kela lähestyy asiakasta?
2011
Julkishallinnon organisaatioiden käyttämä virkakieli on tärkeä yhteiskunnallisen viestinnän ja hallinnon asiakassuhteiden ylläpidon väline. Virkakieltä on huollettu Suomessa jo pitkään, mutta silti kielenhuoltajat tunnistavat siinä edelleen huomattavia ongelmia, jotka haittaavat hallinnon ja sen asiakkaiden välistä viestintää. Hallinnon tehtävänä on palvella yhteiskuntaa ja asiakkaitaan, joten sen kielenkäytöllä on merkitystä. Hallinnon kielenkäyttöä ohjeistetaan muun muassa lainsäädännöllä. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelen keskeisen valtionhallinnon toimijan Kansaneläkelaitoksen, Kelan, verkkosivustolla käytettyä kieltä. Selvitän, miten Kela kielenkäytössään lähestyy asiakasta, miten se tuo…
A Gestalt music analysis : philosophical theory, method, and analysis of Iegor Reznikoff's compositions
2005
Jaana Utriainen on väitöskirjassaan luonut hahmofilosofisen musiikkianalyysiteorian ja –metodin GMAn (A Gestalt Music Analysis) ja soveltanut sitä ranskalaisen Iégor Reznikoffin neljään laulusävellykseen.- Etsin vastauksia väitteelle, jonka mukaan sävellyksistä on analysoitavissa ja tulkittavissa säveltäjän luova musiikillinen hahmoprosessi eli säveltäjän sisäinen musiikillinen hahmo. Lisäksi muodostin analyysimallin, jonka avulla musiikin hahmon laatu (Gestalt Quality) voidaan analysoida ja tulkita, Utriainen kertoo.Tutkimus kuuluu kognitiivisen musiikkitieteen, musiikin filosofian ja estetiikan tieteenaloihin. Monialaisen tutkimuksen päätuloksena on, että tutkimuksen väite: musiikin hahmo…
Factorial Validity of the "Spanish Burnout Inventory" (SBI) in a Sample of Mexican Doctors
2010
El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la validez factorial del Cuestionario para la Evaluación del Síndrome de Quemarse por el Trabajo (CESQT). Se hipotetizó un modelo de cuatro factores. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 110 médicos del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social. El instrumento está formado por 20 ítems distribuidos en 4 subescalas: Ilusión por el trabajo (5 ítems), Desgaste psíquico (4 ítems), Indolencia (6 ítems), y Culpa (5 ítems). El modelo presentó un ajuste adecuado: GFI = .83, RMSEA = .061, NNFI = .90, CFI = .92, PNFI = .65. Los resultados indican que el CESQT presentó en esta muestra validez factorial y valores de consistencia interna adecuados. The purpose of this study was…
Usytuowanie ustrojowo-polityczne ochrony informacji niejawnych w Polsce, Czechach i na Słowacji
2022
Za system ochrony informacji niejawnych w Polsce odpowiadają służby specjalne. W Czechach i na Słowacji do prowadzenia działań w tym zakresie powołano centralne urzędy cywilne działające poza systemem służb specjalnych. Instytucje zajmujące się ochroną informacji niejawnych w polskim systemie ustrojowym i konstytucyjnym są nadzorowane głównie przez władzę wykonawczą — premiera, podczas gdy w Czechach i na Słowacji głównym czynnikiem kontrolnym w systemie są specjalne komisje parlamentarne. Ochronę praw osób, których dane są przetwarzane w ramach różnego rodzaju postępowań prowadzonych przez takie organy, gwarantują we wszystkich analizowanych systemach politycznych sądy. Na Słowacji jest to…
Seeking Technical Debt in Critical Software Development Projects : An Exploratory Field Study
2016
In recent years, the metaphor of technical debt has received considerable attention, especially from the agile community. Still, despite the fact that agile practices are increasingly used in critical domains, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies investigating the occurrence of technical debt in critical software development projects. The results of an exploratory field study conducted across several projects reveal that a variety of business and environmental factors cause the occurrence of technical debt in critical domains. Using Grounded Theory method, these factors are categorized as ambiguity of requirement, diversity of projects, inadequate knowledge management, and res…
Supporting Agile Development by Facilitating Natural User Interaction with Executable Formal Specifications
2011
Agile development benefits from fast feedback from various stakeholders. If implemented in a suitable way, formal methods can enhance the agile development process. With an executable formal specification, it is possible to analyse and simulate the behaviour of the target system before it is being built. However, for the users' and developers' natural participation in the development process, it is necessary to use a real end-user interface and bind it to the execution environment being used in the simulations and animations. This requires, though, that the execution model used to simulate the specification is appropriately changed to facilitate the use of these user interfaces. The authors…
Consumers’ adoption of information services
2013
This paper reports on a design science research study that seeks to investigate how information service components affect consumers’ potential adoption of such services. More specifically, the paper develops a conceptual model that uses the theory of organizational information services (TOIS) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) as a basis. The results indicate that individual constructs can be linked to service components. In turn, this result can potentially be instrumental in progress toward a deeper understanding of consumers’ adoption of information services and how this affects the development of such services and systems that support them.
Consumer Acceptance and Use of Instagram
2016
This study extends the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model to investigate factors affecting the acceptance and use of a social networking service (SNS) called Instagram. The UTAUT2 model is modified to better suit the context of SNSs by replacing the price value construct with self-congruence. Furthermore, we explore the effects of behavioral intention and use behavior on "user indegree" defined as the number of people who follow an SNS user. The results of the survey study largely support the hypothesized model in the context of Instagram. The findings contribute to previous knowledge by demonstrating the important roles of hedonic motivation and habit in co…
Domain Specific Case Tool for ICT-Enabled Service Design
2014
One major problem in service design is the limited availability of information gathered during the development process. In particular, information on end-user requirements is difficult for designers, developers, and maintainers to access. Here, we provide a mechanism that supports the gathering and modeling of various types of information throughout the service and software development life cycle. As various existing tools focus on a particular part of the life cycle, essential information is not available, or it is more difficult to obtain in later stages. The linkage between information collected in the different stages is often lost. The implemented tool support enables the modeling of r…
Internet Adoption at the User Level: Empirical Evidence from The Gambia
2014
The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) are used to investigate technology adoption. However, its application in Sub-Saharan Africa is rare and barely extended to the validation phase. In this paper, we introduce six new moderating factors for UTAUT core determinants and two other direct determinants of Internet adoption. The objective of this approach is to identify relevant elements of Internet adoption at the user level in The Gambia. Moderating factors are interacting terms used when the relationship between independent and dependent variable is weak, inconsistent or non-existent. A case study research design was employed and the data were gathered in Autumn of 20…
