The impact of culture on advertising appeals in mobile phone industry: a study of social video advertising in UK, Brasil, India and Poland

International social media advertising research in emerging markets is called for investigation. Thus, this study explores the impact of culture on advertising appeals in mobile phone industry via social video channel in UK, Poland, Brazil and India. Hofstede model (1980, 2001), Pollay model (1983) and social video users & gratifications are used as primary theoretical frameworks. The exploratory research approach is utilized. More particularly, semiology and content analysis research methodology are employed. The empirical data is based on advertisements of the main channels of Samsung and Nokia in YouTube. The findings indicate that culture does influence on advertising appeals in social video channels. However, the results do not support Hofstede cultural framework assumptions. It shows more correlation with Okazaki’s view about desired and desirable value paradox. This requires further research. Moreover, social video channel plays significant role because the most frequent appeals in four countries are linked with this channel. The study also sheds light to managerial implications for international social video advertising. It suggests that advertiser should establish contingency between emotion and brands. Advertisers should highlight emotional appeals but also nourish brand memory. Information is integrated to describe product functions and benefits in mobile phone industry and in emerging markets where consumers are still unfamiliar with new mobile phone characteristics and advantages.fi=Opinnäytetyö kokotekstinä PDF-muodossa.|en=Thesis fulltext in PDF format.|sv=Lärdomsprov tillgängligt som fulltext i PDF-format

RESPONSES OF LISTENER-VIEWERS IN DIGITAL STORYTELLING: COLLABORATIONS IN THE INTERMEDIATE CLASSROOM AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LIBRARY

Storytelling in its traditional form, with active participation by tellers and listeners, is a valuable model for contemporary library and classroom experiences. Digital storytelling expands opportunities for storytelling in libraries, and reflects a continuity of innovative library services for children and students. For this study, "digital storytelling" is defined as a short, multimedia presentation of a story, created by students, under the guidance of school librarians or teachers. Because much of the literature and practice of digital storytelling emphasizes the creator, or teller, this research examines the response of the "listener-viewers" to explore and support in a digital environment the interactions afforded to audiences of traditional, live storytelling. This research study is a mixed methods investigation centered upon participant-observation of digital storytelling in intermediate classroom and middle school library settings. The research findings show six prominent themes representing how students respond to and engage in digital storytelling, presented in the study in a conceptual model. The themes are Engagement, Action, Emotions, Learning, Similar Experiences, and Next Steps. Key components of digital storytelling as a classroom and school library activity are the "self" as a viewer of digital storytelling, formative and summative viewing practices, and how classroom teachers and school librarians teach and facilitate digital storytelling, including integration of technology and information literacies and collaboration

Biological control of Otiorhynchus sulcatus by insect parasitic nematodes, Heterorhabditis spp., at low temperatures : a systems analytical approach

The black vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus, is an important pest in ornamentals and nursery stock in The Netherlands. The larvae, which feed on the root system of the plant, can be controlled by insect parasitic nematodes, Heterorhabditis. However, the presently available isolates of the nematode are ineffective at temperatures below 12-13°C, causing problems in black vine weevil control in open cultures. In this study, options to improve control by Heterorhabditis are explored, using a systems analytical approach. First, the nematode behavioural processes involved in host finding and control were studied and characterized. These processes are nematode movement, immobilization and remobilization near the soil surface, accumulation near an attractive insect (arrestment), penetration and aggregation of nematodes among insect hosts. The influence of temperature (9 and 20°C) and host species ( O . sulcatus or the more attractive and susceptible Galleria mellonella) on nematode behaviour was assessed to determine the contribution of these factors to control success. Knowledge of behavioural processes was integrated into a systems simulation model that relates the control success to the underlying behavioural processes. The model simulates movement of nematodes in space and time from the moment of application on a sand column until penetration into a host. The model for O . sulcatus at 9°C was most sensitive to changes in the parameters characterizing aggregation and arrestment. Parameters characterizing penetration, the proportion infectious nematodes and the relative penetration rate, had a moderate effect on model outcome. Options for improvement were evaluated by relating the sensitivity of the model to genetic and phenotypic variation found in the nematodes. The amount of variation was assessed by comparing behavioural traits between and within Heterorhabditis isolates. Aggregation and arrestment are host related and there is little variation in Heterorhabditis for these traits. There is phenotypic variation in the proportion infectious nematodes. The most promising option to enhance control of O . sulcatus by Heterorhabditis at low temperatures is, therefore, to improve production and storage conditions to increase and stabilize the proportion infectious nematodes
