Customers' perceived risk and trust in using mobile money services-an empirical study of Ghana
2019
Copyright © 2019, IGI Global. Although mobile money (MM) has been explored in the existing literature, the roles of trust and risk in MM use have received little attention from researchers. Furthermore, many of the existing studies have treated these constructs as unidimensional. The extant literature also shows that perceived risk has received little attention from researchers who have conducted studies on MM. Thus, the objective of this study is to examine the roles of trust and perceived risk in customers' intent to adopt MM services in Ghana. Both trust and perceived risk were broken down into various dimensions. The study involved 671 respondents who were selected via an intercept appr…
Kun äiti käyttää väkivaltaa : lastensuojelun sosiaalityöntekijöiden näkemyksiä
2014
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tarkastella äitien lapsiinsa kohdistamaa väkivaltaa ilmiönä. Tutkimusaineiston olen kerännyt haastattelemalla kahdessa eri kaupungissa työskenteleviä kuutta lastensuojelun sosiaalityöntekijää. Tutkielmastani valmistui ensin työn teoreettinen viitekehys, jonka jälkeen toteutin haastatteluaineiston keräämisen. Haastatteluiden tuottaman tiedon avulla yritän vastata alla oleviin asettamiini tutkimusongelmiini. Kuinka usein ja millaisena ilmiönä naisten lapsiinsa kohdistama väkivalta näkyy lastensuojelussa? Määrittyykö ilmiö yhteiskunnassa sosiaaliseksi ongelmaksi? Millaisia seurauksia väkivallasta nähdään olevan? Millaista apua naiset ja lapset tarvitsevat? Mite…
Physical activity during pregnancy and early childhood from the perspective of gestational diabetes risk and children's body composition
2017
This study investigated the factors associated with self-reported leisure-time physical activity excluding household activities (LTPAexHH) among women at risk for gestational diabetes (GDM), change in self-reported LTPA including household activities (LTPAinHH) from pre-pregnancy to 7-year follow-up as well as the influence of risk for GDM on their children’s physical activity (PA) and body composition. The association between maternal and child PA, and associations of PA with body composition and physical fitness in preschoolers were also studied. A sample of 399 pregnant women at risk for GDM was examined in a cohort study, and 199 mother-child dyads were assessed in cross-sectional and l…

Normal-weight obesity and cardiometabolic risk : A 7-year longitudinal study in girls from prepuberty to early adulthood
2017
Objective: To study whether normal-weight obesity in childhood is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk in early adulthood. Methods: This study assessed data for 236 girls followed from prepuberty to early adulthood. Growth chart data were obtained from birth to 18 years. Body composition was assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and cardiometabolic risk by calculating continuous clustered risk score (at ages 11, 14, and 18). The association of body weight status with cardiometabolic risk from childhood to early adulthood was examined. Results: Subjects with normal-weight obesity were virtually indistinguishable from their normal-weight lean peers in terms of relative body w…
Longitudinal associations of physical activity and sedentary time with cardiometabolic risk factors in children
2019
Background: There are few prospective studies on the associations of changes in objectively measured vigorous physical activity (VPA∆), moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA∆), light physical activity (LPA∆), and sedentary time (ST∆) with changes in cardiometabolic risk factors (∆) in children. We therefore investigated these relationships among children. Methods: The participants were a population sample of 258 children aged 6‐8 years followed for 2 years. We assessed PA and ST by a combined heart rate and movement sensor; computed continuous age‐ and sex‐adjusted z‐scores for waist circumference, blood pressure, and fasting insulin, glucose, triglycerides, and high‐density lipoprot…
