A Follow-Up On The Changes in the Changes in the Use Intention of Digital Wellness Technologies and Its Antecedents Over Time : The Use of Physical A…
2021
This study aims to further promote the understanding of the antecedents of the acceptance and use of digital wellness technologies among elderly people through a follow-up to our two prior studies, one which examines the potential longer-term temporal changes in the use intention of digital wellness technologies and its antecedents in the case of the young elderly segment and physical activity logger applications. We base this examination theoretically on UTAUT2 and empirically on survey data that is collected from 92 Finnish young elderly users of a physical activity logger application in three subsequent time points and analysed with partial least squares structural equation modelling (PL…
Applying UTAUT2 to Explain the Use of Physical Activity Logger Applications Among Young Elderly
2020
Digital wellness technologies have been proposed as a promising way to promote the levels of physical activity and to solve the prevalent problem of physical inactivity among elderly people. In this study, we propose and test a research model for explaining the acceptance and use of these technologies in the case of the young elderly segment (people aged 60–75 years) and physical activity logger applications. The proposed model is theoretically founded on UTAUT2, and it is empirically tested by using the data collected from 115 Finnish young elderly users of a physical activity logger application and analysed with partial least squares based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). We find …
Efektīva arābu valodas apguve mobilajās lietotnēs
2021
Bakalaura darbā ''Efektīva arābu valodas apguve mobilajās lietotnēs'' tiek pētīta arābu valodas apguve mobilajās lietotnēs. Šī darba mērķis ir aplūkot efektīvas arābu valodas apguves metodes, kuras ir iespējams izmantot arābu valodas apguves mobilajās lietotnēs. Mūsdienās ļoti strauji pieaug pieprasījums pēc viedtālruņiem, cilvēki aizvien vairāk izmanto tieši mobilās lietotnes, tāpēc pieaug arī pieprasījums pēc valodas apguves mobilajām lietotnēm. Mobilās lietotnes ir iespējams lietot neatkarīgi no atrašanās vietas un laika, kas ir liels ieguvums valodu apguvē, sevišķi arābu valodas apguvē. Sākotnēji pirmajā nodaļā tiek pētīta valodas apguves metodoloģija, kādu ir iespējams pielāgot arābu v…
An arthritogenic alphavirus uses the α1β1 integrin collagen receptor
2005
Ross River (RR) virus is an alphavirus endemic to Australia and New Guinea and is the aetiological agent of epidemic polyarthritis or RR virus disease. Here we provide evidence that RR virus uses the collagen-binding alpha1beta1 integrin as a cellular receptor. Infection could be inhibited by collagen IV and antibodies specific for the beta1 and alpha1 integrin proteins, and fibroblasts from alpha1-integrin-/- mice were less efficiently infected than wild-type fibroblasts. Soluble alpha1beta1 integrin bound immobilized RR virus, and peptides representing the alpha1beta1 integrin binding-site on collagen IV inhibited virus binding to cells. We speculate that two highly conserved regions with…
