Transition to Digital Distribution Platforms and Business Model Evolution
2019
How do business models evolve when technology-based firms move from physical distribution channels to digital distribution platforms? This is an important question, since digitalization of distribution platforms provides new opportunities to expand the reach and customer base of technology-based firms. Based on an in-depth multi-case study of four Japanese high-tech firms, we seek to expand our understanding of digital transformation and business model literature. Our findings indicate that that through digital transformation, the case firms’ business models evolved toward more constant interaction with the market, in particular through digital platforms. This interaction includes growing a…
The Design Towards a Collaborative Subscription Service : The Case of The Finnish Newspaper Industry
2020
The newspaper industry is challenged with its business models. To stabilize revenues, publishers opted for digital subscriptions for generating additional revenue streams. However, digital subscriptions showcase limited success. News aggregator platforms may promise publishers a pool of paying readers. But platform fees and the loss of customer relationships enact barriers among publishers to join. This study proposes a software prototype based on design science research to address the aforementioned shortcomings by deriving design principles for a collaborative subscription service. Building on the strategic alliance, digital platform and business model literature, this research aims to id…
PaaS-palveluiden teknologia ja liiketoimintamallit
2015
Pilvipalvelut, niiden kaikissa muodoissaan, ovat jatkuvasti kasvava ala ja yksi tulevaisuuden suurista työllistäjistä. PaaS-palvelut ovat yksi keskeinen osa pilvipalveluiden tarjontaa. SaaS-palveluiden kysynnän kasvaessa myös niiden kehittämiseen käytettävien PaaS-palveluiden kysyntä kasvaa. Tämän takia onkin tärkeää tietää miten nämä palvelut toimivat, ja mitkä ovat teknologiat niiden takana. Tämä tutkielma lähestyy tätä aihetta kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla. Kirjallisuuskatsauksessa perehdytään PaaS-palveluiden teknologiaan, sekä niiden liiketoimintamalleihin. Cloud computing, in all of its forms, is constantly evolving and growing sector of IT. PaaS-services are one key component in clou…
Low-code izstrādes platformas: lietotņu tiesību pārvaldība
2022
Low-code tehnoloģija strauji kļūst populāra, 2025.gadā 70% no komerciāli veidotajām lietotnēm būs low-code.[1] Augot tehnoloģijas popularitātei ir svarīgi arī pievērst uzmanību, ka low-code lietotnēs ir pilnvērtīga drošība. Bakalaura darbā tiek aplūkots viens no drošības aspektiem - tiesību pārvaldība. Tiesības nodrošina piekļuves kontroli izstrādātajās lietotnēs. Darba ietvaros tiek izstrādātas low-code lietotnes, lai pārliecinātos, ka pilnvērtīgi var ieviest tiesību pārvaldību un piekļuves kontroli izveidotajās lietotnēs. Rezultātā tiek parādīts, ka šobrīd low-code izstrādes platformās ir iespējams realizēt pilnvērtīgas lietotnes, bet paliek atvērts jautājums, vai mērķauditorija, kura vei…
Synsedimentary collapse on a carbonate platform margin (lower Barremian, southern Vercors, SE France)
2004
International audience; A large area of synsedimentary collapse covering about 25 km2 has been identified within Lower Barremian carbonate platform strata of the Southern Vercors (Vocontian Basin, SE France). New observations of the prograding/aggrading strata of the Cirque d'Archiane and the Glandasse Plateau reveal the presence of a disturbed zone, showing tilted and imbricated blocks as well as slump features. Measurements and analysis on these synsedimentary distorted strata suggest that they compose a slide which slipped on the Barremian slope. The occurence of two coarse bioclastic grainstone beds on the eastern side of the Archiane Valley, in a distal hemipelagic context, suggests th…
Fundamental bounds on qubit reset
2020
Qubit reset is a basic prerequisite for operating quantum devices, requiring the export of entropy. The fastest and most accurate way to reset a qubit is obtained by coupling the qubit to an ancilla on demand. Here, we derive fundamental bounds on qubit reset in terms of maximum fidelity and minimum time, assuming control over the qubit and no control over the ancilla. Using the Cartan decomposition of the Lie algebra of qubit plus two-level ancilla, we identify the types of interaction and controls for which the qubit can be purified. For these configurations, we show that a time-optimal protocol consists of purity exchange between qubit and ancilla brought into resonance, where the maximu…
Evaluación de necesidades y expectativas ante la construcción de un espacio interactivo de comunicación, información y aprendizaje histórico-educativo
2015
Conscientes de las posibilidades pedagógicas, participativas y de colaboración científica de la Web 2.0, los autores del presente artículo se plantean la detección de las necesidades y expectativas hacia la creación de una plataforma virtual delimitada por un espacio interactivo o red social para la Historia de la Educación y el Patrimonio Histórico-educativo. Gracias a la evaluación mediante un cuestionario en el que han participado un grupo de expertos docentes e investigadores de Historia de la Educación, se han obtenido una serie de conclusiones a tener en cuenta respecto a determinados aspectos (conocimiento y uso, expectativas, componentes, etc.) que orientarán la construcción ad hoc …
Fatigue effects of marathon running on neuromuscular performance
2007
Nine experienced endurance runners performed individual marathon runs that involved several tests of neuromuscular performance before, during and after the marathon. The tests were performed with special force platform and dynamometer techniques. The results showed an overall decrease in performance from the marathon. The maximal sprint velocity decreased parabolically during the marathon, reaching the final value of 84% of the pre-marathon one. Similarly, the other test results after marathon indicated that maximal isometric knee extension torque was 78%, the performance in a special rebound test (drop jump) 84% and the 5-jump performance 92% of the pre-marathon values. These reductions we…
A step towards a field based agility test in team sports. A perspective on return to play criteria
2017
Introduction: Agility performance tests can be limited by the requirement for force plates, timing gates and expensive camera systems (Correia et al., 2012; Green, Blake, & Caulfield, 2011) making application into rehabilitation programs practically challenging. The aims of this study were to assess the reliability of a field based 1v1 agility test encompassing perceptualaction performance that could be replicated in applied settings. A secondary aim was to assess the relationship between the 1v1 agility test with a range of physical performance tests including the commonly used Y step test (Paul, Gabbett, & Nassis, 2016). Methods: Twenty-eight male rugby union players volunteered (Mean ± S…
Effect of Motor-Cognitive (Dual Task) Rehabilitation Program on Gait Biomechanics in Parkinson’s Disease: Case Study
2016
In some pathologies with impaired control gait, the dual task execution even worse these gait alterations, as in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) occurs. The aim of this paper is to present the effects of a rehabilitation program that integrates dual tasks in gait rehabilitation and prepare patients to move functionally in complex environments in a person with PD. 3D photogrammetry system and two force platform were used for the registering of kinematic and kinetic parameters, respectively. The main variables that have improved after the proposed program are: speed gait (54.87 %), step length (52.01 %), stride length (43.48 %), double support time (37.36 %), flexo-extension hip range of motion (36.…
