Predictors of In‐School and Out‐of‐School Sport Injury Prevention : A Test of The Trans‐Contextual Model
2021
The current study aimed to predict secondary school students' motivation toward sport injury prevention in 'in-school' and 'out-of-school' contexts, and their sport injury prevention behaviour at 3-month follow-up using the trans-contextual model (TCM). Hong Kong secondary school students (N = 1,566; mean age = 13.34 years, range = 11 to 19; female = 49.42%) were recruited. Participants were asked to complete a survey comprising previously-validated scales measuring TCM constructs at baseline, and a measure of sport injury prevention behaviour at follow-up three months later. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the hypothesised paths among TCM constructs. A SEM specifying…
Nātrene - alerģijas naratīvs un veselības sektora izvēle
2022
Šis bakalaura antropoloģiskais pētījums ir par nātrenes jeb urtikārijas izpratni un kā šī izpratne tiek veidota laika gaitā. Kā izpratne ietekmē veselības sektora izvēli, lai ārstētu nātrenes simptomus. Balstoties uz Artura Kleinmana slimības skaidrojošā modeļa, kas definē faktorus slimības izrpatnes veidošanā, un citu sociologu un antropologu teorētiskajiem darbiem, tika konstruēta teorētiskā bāze, lai sasniegtu pētījuma mērķi un veiktu datu analīzi. Pētījuma gaitā tika veiktas intervijas un dalībnieki tika aicināti pildīt lauka dienasgrāmatas, lai bagātinātu iegūtos datus no intervijām. Pētījumā tika pierādīts, ka veidotā izpratne katram dalībniekam ir citādāka, jo tā tiek ietekmēta no va…
Explaining the Usage Intentions of Exergames
2014
Different kinds of digital gaming concepts that combine exercise and games, commonly referred to as exergames, have become increasingly common in recent years. These games, which can be used because of both hedonic and utilitarian reasons, have also become a subject of growing interest among academic researchers. However, the factors that explain their usage remain vaguely understood. This study aims to find out what kinds of factors explain the intentions to use exergames as part of one’s exercise. To do this, we first propose a new theoretical model for explaining the usage intentions of exergames and then empirically test this model by analyzing an online survey sample collected from 271…
UCOT: Semiautomatic Generation of Conceptual Models from Use Case Descriptions
2008
This paper describes a prototype of a system to auto matically analyze use cases and create a conceptual model based on the analysis. Grammatical parser and Abbott’s heuristic are used to process the use cases. User can modify the conceptual model by refining entities and relations, as well as roles for the entities. The model can be exported to be further utilized with object oriented analysis or domain specific modeling. The system is evaluated based on the analysis of use cases used to describe the system itself. The quality of models depends essentially on the quality and writing conventions of the use cases. If the use cases are written using subject-predicate-object struc ture and usage…
EntityBot: Actionable Entity Recommendations for Everyday Digital Task
2022
Our everyday digital tasks require access to information from a wide range of applications and systems. Although traditional search systems can help find information, they usually operate within one application (e.g., email client or web browser) and require the user's cognitive effort and attention to formulate proper search queries. In this paper, we demonstrate EntityBot, a system that proactively provides useful and supporting entities across application boundaries without requiring explicit query formulation. Our methodology is to exploit the context from screen frames captured every 2 seconds to recommend relevant entities for the current task. Recommendations are not restricted to on…
The drivers of customer satisfaction for academic library services: managerial hints from an empirical study on two Italian university libraries usin…
2015
The intent of this qualitative research is to investigate and understand the requisites of customer satisfaction for academic libraries’ users and to give managerial hints for the implementation of user centred academic library services. To this aim, we analyse the library services of two Italian Universities (the Faculty of Economics of University of Palermo and the Central Library of the University of Salerno) to find relations and congruencies and to evaluate the perceived relevance of the tangible and intangible aspects of these services. In the preliminary phase of the research, we conducted both focus groups and individual interviews involving students or researchers who regularly use…

Trendien seuraajia vai henkisen hyvinvoinnin etsijöitä? : diskurssianalyysi eklektisestä uskonnollisuudesta suomalaisissa lehtikirjoituksissa
2010
Tutkielmani tarkoituksena on selvittää, millainen kuva eklektiseksi uskonnollisuudeksi kutsutusta ilmiöstä muodostuu suomalaisten sanoma- ja aikakauslehtien sivuilla. Analyysimenetelmänä olen käyttänyt diskurssianalyysia. Tutkimuksen aineisto koostuu vuosina 2000–2007 ilmestyneistä lehtiartikkeleista. Artikkeleita on yhteensä 63 kappaletta, ja ne on koottu seitsemästä suomalaisesta lehdestä. Uskonnon sosiologisen tutkimuksen perinne ulottuu aina sosiologian klassikoihin, kuten Max Weberiin ja Émile Durkheimiin saakka. Tutkielmani teoreettinen tausta koostuukin sekä aikaisemmasta uskontososiologisesta tutkimuksesta että kuluttamiseen, yksilöllistymiseen ja postmodernisaatioon liittyvistä aja…
Nomadit rippituolissa : medioidun uskonnon moraalisen järjestyksen dynamiikka (post)modernin television ja kulttuurin kontekstissa
2001
The study Nomads in the Confessional: The Dynamics of the Moral Order of Mediated Religion in the Context of (Post)modern Television and Culture is concerned to explore mediated relations between religion, media and culture. Its main focus is on mediated Christianity. The study draws from different academic and intellectual traditions: the sociology of religion, the history of ideas and media studies. It is primarily a theoretical piece, but it also uses empirical data to deepen the discussion and understanding of the nature of mediated religion. The data is analyzed by using ritual media studies as a methodological tool. The object of the analysis is a Christian television show "The Confes…
Métodos de formación a distancia en el ámbito universitario
2018
La formación pedagógica, así como el asesoramiento y la orientación psicopedagógica, constituye uno de los puntos de interés en los que se trabaja en la Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). Para dar respuesta a las demandas formativas derivadas de ese eje, el Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación (ICE) es el responsable de contribuir a la mejora de la calidad de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, ofreciendo la formación y asesoramiento oportuno tanto a su profesorado como a su alumnado. En este sentido, cada vez más se va dando prioridad a los modelos de formación a distancia mediados a través de la plataforma de e-learning PoliformaT, adaptación de la plataforma de Open Source Sa…
