Behavior change types with Pokémon GO
2017
Digital games1 are one of the most popular entertainment media in the world. Teir allure and widespread popularity makes them an interesting and highly potential platform for behavior change atempts. In this paper, we investigate what types of behavior changes Pokémon GO has promoted or induced among its players. Te study is based on an online survey sample of 262 Pokémon GO players, collected using the critical incident technique and analyzed using qualitative methods. Te analysis shows that the behavior changes induced by Pokémon GO are not just restricted to increased physical activity or social behavior but are actually much more multifaceted: players were more social, found their routi…
Taktisko paņēmienu izmantošana un ar to sistītas problēmas pratināšanā
2015
Kriminālprocesa likuma 10.nodaļā ir nosaukti izmeklēšanas darbību veidi un to būtība. Viena no šīm izmeklēšanas darbībām ir pratināšana, tās definīcija ir noteikta Kriminālprocesa likuma 145.pantā. Kriminālprocesa likums nesniedz priekšstatu par pratināšanas nozīmīgumu un pratināšanas norises kārtību. Tas ir atrodams kriminālistikas un kriminālprocesa literatūrā un doktrīnā. Pašu pratināšanas kārtību un tās norisi nosaka procesa virzītājs. Lai efektīvi spētu izmantot pratināšanai paredzēto laiku un noskaidrotu no pratināmās personas patiesu informāciju, procesa virzītājam ir jāizmanto taktiskie paņēmieni, ar mērķi padarīt pratināmās personas vēlmi sniegt nepatiesas ziņas par neiespējamu.

Technical determinants of competitive rifle shooting performance
2018
The purpose of this thesis was to identify technical determinants of elite level air rifle and biathlon standing shooting performance and investigate how these technical determinants are affected by training, competition situation, or intense exercise. Forty international and national level air rifle shooters and 17 biathletes participated in the studies. In air rifle shooting, shooting performance, aiming point trajectory, and postural balance were measured from each shot in a simulated competition series in the training situation and in the actual competition situation. The shooters’ competition results were collected from each measured season. In biathlon, the same shooting technical var…
Non-stationary dynamo and magnetospheric accretion processes of the classical T Tauri star V2129 Oph
2011
We report here the first results of a multiwavelength campaign focussing on magnetospheric accretion processes of the classical T Tauri star V2129 Oph. In this paper, we present spectropolarimetric observations collected in 2009 July with ESPaDOnS at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and contemporaneous photometry secured with the SMARTS facility. Circularly polarized Zeeman signatures are clearly detected, both in photospheric absorption and accretion-powered emission lines, from time-series of which we reconstruct new maps of the magnetic field, photospheric brightness and accretion-powered emission at the surface of V2129 Oph using our newest tomographic imaging tool - to be compared wi…
Chandra study of the eclipsing M dwarf binary, YY Gem
2012
The eclipsing M dwarf binary system, YY Gem, was observed using Chandra covering 140 ks (2Prot) in total, split into two even exposures separated by 0.76 d (0.94 Prot). The system was extremely active: three energetic flares were observed over the course of these observations. The flaring and non-flaring states of the system are analysed in this paper. The activity level increased between the first and second observations even during the quiescent (non-flaring) phases. An analysis of the dynamics of the X-ray-emitting plasma suggests that both components are significantly active. Contemporaneous Hα spectra also suggest that both components show similar levels of activity. The primary star i…
High-Frequency and Ultra-High Frequency Ultrasound: Musculoskeletal Imaging up to 70 MHz
2020
AbstractMusculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound has well-established advantages, able to investigate very small structures with high resolution and a quick and real-time dynamic evaluation with the possibility of contralateral comparison. Thus ultrasound has kept its own almost exclusive fields of application in daily clinical practice, and it is considered the first-level imaging technique to assess tendons, bursae, and capsuloligamentous structures of small peripheral joints as well as peripheral nerves. Up to now, however, clinical MSK ultrasound imaging could not go beyond the first 1 to 2 cm under the skin, using high-frequency probes up to 18 to 20 MHz with spatial resolution just below mill…
L'utilizzo del ferro a Palermo dopo il terremoto del 1726
2016
La ricerca, basata essenzialmente sullo studio di una consistente mole di documenti emersi attraverso nuove indagini archivistiche, mira a indagare gli aspetti tecnici legati agli interventi sul patrimonio architettonico di Palermo successivi al terremoto del 1726, approfondendo il ruolo degli architetti e dei maestri coinvolti nel processo di ricostruzione delle fabbriche colpite e ponendo particolare attenzione alle tecnologie messe in atto facenti ricorso all’uso ferro, indagate attraverso lo studio di alcuni casi esemplificativi. Questo materiale, infatti, trovò in questa occasione diverse applicazioni. L’intervento più frequente fu relativo all’inserimento di catene in ferro in corrisp…

Measuring Health Promotion in Sports Club Settings: A Modified Delphi Study
2019
Settings-based approaches have become an increasing health promotion focus since the World Health Organization’s 1986 Ottawa Charter. While schools, cities, and prisons have implemented this approach, its development within sports environments is recent. Sports are a popular leisure-time activity, requiring validated tools to measure health promotion activity. This study’s aim was to develop a measurement tool based on international consensus that measures perceptions of health promotion within sports clubs. It is grounded in the settings-based approach and builds on theory from previous works expanding their context and knowledge. An online, three-round international Delphi study was cond…
E-Sports y brecha de género: la percepción de las profesionales españolas
2019
The present paper aims to identify the causes of under-representation of women in E-sports. According to a genre perspective, interest in videogames at the amateur level is quite similar. However, in its professional level, female participation becomes very limited. The fact that physical effort is irrelevant (a requirement for ?traditional sports?) could be considered a variable that would negatively affect greater to equality in the conditions of access and participation of women in electronic sports. Against any predictions, the data on the presence of women are elocuent: few women, with much lower wages than men to remunerate same skills, and a general complaint by the female profession…
