973 Knee control and jump-landing technique in young basketball and floorball players
2016
Background Poor knee alignment is associated with increased loading of the joints, ligaments and tendons, and may increase the risk of injury. The study purpose was to compare differences in knee kinematics between basketball and floorball players during a vertical drop jump (VDJ) task. We wanted to investigate whether basketball players, whose sport includes frequent jump-landings, exhibited better knee control compared with floorball players, whose sport involves less jumping. Methods Players (aged 12–21 years) were recruited from six basketball and floorball clubs of the Tampere City district, Finland. Complete data was obtained from 173 basketball and 141 floorball players. Peak knee va…
Comportamentos de suporte e eficácia grupal: o papel mediador dos comportamentos de aprendizagem
2018
Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia do Trabalho, das Organizações e dos Recursos Humanos apresentada à Faculdade de Psicologia e de Ciências da Educação Supportive behaviours, defined “as the extent to which team members voluntarily provide assistance to each other when needed during task accomplishment” (Aubé & Rousseau, 2005, p.193), constitute a determinant of Team Effectiveness (Dimas, Rocha, Rebelo, & Lourenço, 2016). The current research aims to clarify further the relationship between Supportive Behaviours and Team Effectiveness criteria, mediated by Team Learning Behaviours. Based on the model of effectiveness Input-Mediator-Outcome-Input (IMOI) from Kozlowski and Ilgen (2006), th…
The construction of inequalities between girls and boys of success in physical education at the baccalaureate between girls and boys
2004
This research investigates the effect of social and school processes on explanation of the achievement's differences between girls and boys in PE, particularly when they are assessed in team sports in secondary education. The performances of girls often are lower than those of boys. Traditionally, the differentiated performances may be attributed to physiological or sociological reasons. The object of this research, conducted about 1245 pupils and theirs PE teachers, was to focus on a possible differential treatment at school between girls and boys. Teacher's perceptions about sport as a male domain influence the process in which girls receive at school a poorest learning. The relative fail…
Slacking with the Bot: Programmable Social Bot in Virtual Team Interaction
2021
Nonhuman communicators are challenging the prevailing conceptualizations of technology-mediated team communication. Slackbot is a social bot that can be configured to respond to trigger words and, thus, take part in discussions on the platform. A set of 84 bot-related communication episodes were identified from a journalistic team's Slack messages (N=45,940) and analyzed utilizing both qualitative content analysis and interaction process analysis (IPA). This integrated mixed-methods analysis revealed novel insights into the micro-level dynamics of human-machine communication in organizational teams. In response to Slackbot's greetings, acclamations, work-related messages, and relational mes…
Knowledge acquisition through introspection in Human-Robot Cooperation
2018
Abstract When cooperating with a team including humans, robots have to understand and update semantic information concerning the state of the environment. The run-time evaluation and acquisition of new concepts fall in the critical mass learning. It is a cognitive skill that enables the robot to show environmental awareness to complete its tasks successfully. A kind of self-consciousness emerges: the robot activates the introspective mental processes inferring if it owns a domain concept or not, and correctly blends the conceptual meaning of new entities. Many works attempt to simulate human brain functions leading to neural network implementation of consciousness; regrettably, some of thes…
Digital communication environments in the workplace
2019
Digital communication environments consist of various kinds of communication technologies and collaboration platforms. These enable employees to communicate through text, audio, video, and graphics, often in an open and networked way. Complementing the popular stand-alone communication tools regularly used in workplaces, such as email and instant messaging, digital communication environments enable the sharing, editing, and storing of information publicly within the organization and sometimes externally among its stakeholders. This chapter reviews and analyzes digital communication environments as well as their affordances and constraints for communication and social interaction in the work…
The effect of culture on educational methodologies in international business programs: an application to the iMBA program
2012
As the world becomes global, there are growing needs and opportunities for intercultural exchanges in learning processes. In the context of the Spanish University Strategy for 2015, one of the most important objectives is to increase internationalisation through international postgraduate courses (Spanish Ministry of Education, 2010). Intercultural teaching capabilities are now becoming necessary for better achieving perceived service quality among international students. In the area of business studies, research on pedagogical issues is needed in order to provide recommendations and group management implications. For instance, a challenge for international business programs is dealing with…
L'evolució del conflicte de tasca, el conflicte de relació i el conflicte de procés en equips virtuals: el paper de l'entrenament
2010
L'objectiu d'aquest treball és estudiar els efectes de l'entrenament autoguiat en la percepció dels equips del conflicte de tasca, del conflicte de relació i del conflicte de procés, al llarg de tres sessions i en un context virtual. Per això es va fer un estudi de laboratori en el qual cinquanta-dos equips de comunicació sincrònica a través d'ordinador van treballar durant tres sessions: vint-i-set d'ells foren assignats a la condició experimental, en la qual van rebre un entrenament autoguiat, i la resta d'equips van ser assignats a la condició de control. Els resultats d'ANCOVA (anàlisi de covariància) de mesures repetides mostren que l'entrenament, junt amb l'experiència adquirida pels …
