Factors affecting acceptance of mobile content services among mature consumers

2009

The aim of this study is to increase our understanding of mature consumers as users of technological services. More specifically, the objective is to find out which factors have an effect on the acceptance of mobile content services in the target group. The services studied are mobile services, including content that is provided by a service provider. Examples of mobile content services are mobile news, mobile banking and downloading ringing tones. In order to arrive at a theoretical model, the previous literature on technology acceptance is explored from a general and a more age group-specific perspective.The literature review is multidisciplinary, concentrating on knowledge generated in m…

Gendered Violence Online : Hate Speech as an Intersection of Misogyny and Racism

2020

Social media has been adopted by radical right populists and alt-right demagogues as a platform for circulating misogynous and racist hate speech and affectively mobilising supporters. This chapter examines hate speech as a form of gendered and racist violence, focusing on social media posts by two influential right-wing populist politicians: Jussi Halla-aho, the leader of the Finns Party, and Donald Trump, the president of the United States. It demonstrates how these politicians intertwine misogyny and racism in blog posts and tweets that target women in particular. Their affective online communication is interpreted as a new form of violence. This digitally mediated violence, although a r…

Video calls as a nexus of practice in multilingual translocal families

2023

This study explores how daily video calls were used by two multilingual family constellations to keep in contact with members located elsewhere. A three-stage data collection and analysis protocol was developed together with the two main participants, two single mothers each with a 4-year-old child. The results show that active collaboration among all members of the family was needed to get the activity going. The families employed a de facto family language policy where the focus was on successful communication and nurturing emotional bonds rather than developing language skills. At the same time, the regular video calls added a significant amount of time spent together and increased the a…

Sosiaalisen median moderointi ei ratkaise yhteiskunnallisia ongelmia

2022

Tehokkaampi misinformaation ja muun vahingollisen sisällön poisto sosiaalisesta mediasta nähdään nykyään ratkaisuna moneen yhteiskunnalliseen ongelmaan. Onko moderaatioon nojaava politiikka kuitenkin alustajättien eduksi, heikompien ryhmien kustannuksella? nonPeerReviewed

Brain event-related potentials to phoneme contrasts and their correlation to reading skills in school-age children

2017

Development of reading skills has been shown to be tightly linked to phonological processing skills and to some extent to speech perception abilities. Although speech perception is also known to play a role in reading development, it is not clear which processes underlie this connection. Using event-related potentials (ERPs) we investigated the speech processing mechanisms for common and uncommon sound contrasts (/ba/-/da/-/ga/ and /ata/-/at: a/) with respect to the native language of school-age children in Finland and the US. In addition, a comprehensive behavioral test battery of reading and phonological processing was administered. ERPs revealed that the children could discriminate betw…

Online Adaptation to Altered Auditory Feedback Is Predicted by Auditory Acuity and Not by Domain-General Executive Control Resources

2018

Published: 12 March 2018 When a speaker's auditory feedback is altered, he adapts for the perturbation by altering his own production, which demonstrates the role of auditory feedback in speech motor control. In the present study, we explored the role of auditory acuity and executive control in this process. Based on the DIVA model and the major cognitive control models, we expected that higher auditory acuity, and better executive control skills would predict larger adaptation to the alteration. Thirty-six Spanish native speakers performed an altered auditory feedback experiment, executive control (numerical Stroop, Simon and Flanker) tasks, and auditory acuity tasks (loudness, pitch, and …

Älypuhelimet aikuisten lukutaito-oppijoiden vapaa-ajalla

Aikuiset lukutaito-oppijat käyttävät älypuhelimia näppärästi ja ovat erilaisten sovellusten keskellä kuin kotonaan. Mitä nämä opiskelijat kertovat puhelimen käytöstään vapaa-ajalla? Entä miten tätä tietoa ja taitoa voisi hyödyntää opetuksessa? nonPeerReviewed

Mobile money and the impact of mobile phone regulatory enforcement among the urban poor in Tanzania

2021

Mobile money provides a tool for survival, particularly in urban conditions shaped by city regulations that make microvending difficult for the poor. An analysis of 165 interviews conducted in two low-income neighborhoods in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania over 8 years demonstrates how interlocked layers of technology and interaction make mobile money services semiformal. I introduce two mobile money-enabled survival strategies: intrahousehold transfers for day-to-day survival (transfers within the same city) and resource safeguarding through kin remittances of start-up capital (home-based subsistence business capital stored for kin access in emergencies). The recent tightening of mobile phone regu…
