Item Open Access Cep folkloru(Geleneksel Yayıncılık, 2006) Uyanık, S.Kitle iletişim araçlarındaki hızlı gelişme ve bu araçların yarattığı ilişkiler dolayımında önemli sayıda iletişim süreci modeli ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Bunlardan biri de cep telefonu kullanıcıların oluşturduğu iletişim modelidir. Bu kullanımlarda geleneğin etkisini, kodların işaret ettiği içeriklerin toplumsal alanda yaygınlaştığını ve kullanılan ifadelerin kalıp s al özellikler kazanarak dile yerleştiğini görebilmek mümkündür. Bir folklor oluşturma bağlamında ele alınabilecek olan bu iletişim sistemi tarafından koşullandırılan davranış kalıpları ve aynı doğrultuda oluşan dil, davranışların grup içinde tanımlanmasına, adlandırılmasına, stereotip haline getirilmesine neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada cep telefonu kullanıcıları arasında yaratılan dil, kullanıcılardan oluşan bu sosyal grubun oluşturdukları kültürel kodlar ve bu iletişimsel alanın folklorla olan ilişkisi incelenecektir.Item Open Access Mobile times and temporalities: Histories of geomediation of time(SAGE, 2022) Özkul, Didem; Humphreys, LeeThe mobile ontology of locative media and ubiquity of location-aware technologies have led to an explicit focus on “where” and an implicit focus on “when” in geomedia studies. While welcoming this focus, we argue that this spatial bias has led the temporal dimensions of geomedia to be overlooked. Despite the growing interest that draws academic attention to mediation of time and temporal dimensions of media and data practices, there is still limited discussion on time and temporality of geomedia. We aim to fill this gap and open a debate about the temporality of geomedia based on seven oral history interviews that we conducted with mobile media scholars who pioneered in research in mobile phones from late 1990s onwards. These historical accounts include the narratives of how mobile phones were used for time-keeping, synchronizing, presencing, and coordinating everyday life. Hence, this article grounds mediation of time in the histories of geomedia.Item Open Access Preferences in the willingness to download an mHealth app: Discrete choice experimental study in Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands(JMIR Publications, Inc., 2023-12-25) Folkvord, Frans; Bol, Nadine; Stazi, Giacomo; Peschke, Lutz; Lupiáñez-Villanueva, FranciscoBackground: Despite the worldwide growth in mobile health (mHealth) tools and the possible benefits for both patients and health care providers, the adoption of mHealth is low, and only a limited number of studies have examined the intention to download mHealth apps. Objective: In this study, we investigated individuals’ preferences in the adoption of a health app. Methods: We conducted a discrete choice experimental study in 3 countries (Spain: n=800, Germany: n=800, and the Netherlands: n=416) with 4 different attributes and levels (ie, price: €1.99 vs €4.99 [a currency exchange rate of €1=US $1.09 is applicable] vs for free, data protection: data protection vs no information, recommendation: patients’ association vs doctors, and manufacturer: medical association vs pharmaceutical company). Participants were randomly assigned. For the analyses, we used the conditional logistic model separately for each country. Results: The results showed that price and data protection were considered important factors that significantly increased the probability to download an mHealth app. In general, the source of the recommendation and the manufacturer affected the probability to download the mHealth app less. However, in Germany and the Netherlands, we found that if the app was manufactured by a pharmaceutical company, the probability to download the mHealth app decreased. Conclusions: mHealth tools are highly promising to reduce health care costs and increase the effectiveness of traditional health interventions and therapies. Improving data protection, reducing costs, and creating sound business models are the major driving forces to increase the adoption of mHealth apps in the future. It is thereby essential to create trustworthy standards for mobile apps, whereby prices, legislation concerning data protection, and health professionals can have a leading role to inform the potential consumers.
