Healthier Life and More Fun? Users' Motivations to Apply Activity Tracking Technology and the Impact of Gamification

Aug 26, 20190 likes285 views

The document discusses physical inactivity and ways to increase physical activity levels using gamification. It presents results from interviews and an online survey of 942 fitness tracker users. Reaction-based notifications that provide step count updates were found to be motivating. Gamification elements like challenges and competitions that allow users to compare progress against others were also found to increase enjoyment and motivate users to be more active. While users were motivated by both intrinsic factors like learning and enjoyment as well as extrinsic rewards, intrinsic motivation had a stronger influence on behavior. The discussion considers how gamification can motivate physical activity but may not directly translate to increased activity levels and whether impacts are sustained over time.

1. The Australian Sports Commission conducted market research to better understand participation in sport and physical activity. They identified 10 consumer segments among Australian adults based on their motivations, attitudes, needs and barriers related to sport participation. 2. Two key segments that show potential for increasing club membership are "Sidelined Sportsters" - lapsed members who value team sports but lack time/money, and "Club Wary" - those interested in casual sports but concerned about club commitments and social pressures. 3. To attract these segments, clubs may need to offer more flexible options that address concerns around time, cost and commitment levels.

www.sprivail.org Steadman Philippon Research Institute 2003 Annual Report The area of regenerative medicine is an excit- ing one. There are many new and innovative techniques under investigation by scientists around the world. In 2003, we focused our efforts almost exclusively on regeneration of an improved tissue for resurfacing of articular cartilage defects that typically lead to degenera- tive osteoarthritis. We have been working in the promising area of gene therapy in collabo- ration with Drs. Wayne McIlwraith and David Frisbie at Colorado State University. Following is some background information and a summary of our most recent findings. This work is ongoing, and the encouraging results presented here will allow us to continue to focus on this work in the coming years. Osteoarthritis is a debilitating, progressive disease characterized by the deterioration of articular cartilage and accompanied by changes in the bone and soft tissues of the joint. Traumatic injury to joints is also often associated with acute damage to the articular cartilage. Unfortunately, joint cartilage is a tissue with poor healing potential. Once damaged, cartilage typically does not heal, or it may heal with fibrous tissue that does not function as it should. Such tissue does not possess the biomechanical and biochemical properties of the original hyaline cartilage; hence, the integrity of the articular sur- face and normal joint function are compromised. The result often is osteoarthritis.

Exercise and weight loss online community networkMarion Barry

��

This document discusses reasons for developing an exercise and weight loss system. It notes that most people stop exercising within 6 months and that women participate in exercise less than men. Weight loss goals focused on appearance can decrease motivation long-term. The initial idea was a wrist-worn device to track steps, heart rate, and sleep to calculate calorie expenditure and aid short-term weight loss. However, a different skill set was needed, and similar products already exist. A new idea is a web-based motivational weight loss network to address issues of isolation and lack of community in current solutions. Research suggests social support and intrinsic goals like well-being improve participation and outcomes. The proposed changes draw on this research and focus on community

The document discusses a study on perceptions of data privacy and sensitivity related to fitness tracking technologies. The study examined how current, former, and non-users (U, FU, NU) perceive the sensitivity of different types of data collected by fitness trackers. It also looked at general privacy concerns among the three groups. The results found some differences in how health-related data is perceived between users and non-users. Current users were clustered into three groups - concerned, neutral, and unconcerned - based on their data privacy concerns and perceptions of sensitivity. The concerned users saw most data as sensitive while the unconcerned saw very little as sensitive.

The document summarizes a study analyzing tweets related to the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attacks. The study analyzed over 7,000 tweets collected over a one week period. Key findings included that 44% of tweets contained links, with 51% of links going to news sites. 31% of tweets included multimedia. Hashtags expressing solidarity, like #JeSuisCharlie, were most common. Embedding multimedia in tweets was found to correlate with higher retweet counts on most days. Links to news sites decreased later in the week as information spread, while links to social media increased. The discussion suggests tweets with multimedia and links to news spread information faster during emergencies.

Science Communication beyond Journal Publications WorkshopWAIHIGA K.MUTURI

��

🌍 Science Not Shared is Science Lost: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Impact 🎙️📖 In the heart of Africa, where innovation meets resilience, lies an untapped reservoir of scientific brilliance. Yet, too often, groundbreaking research remains confined within the walls of journals, inaccessible to the communities it seeks to serve. This February, I am thrilled to join the "Science Communication Beyond Journal Publications" workshop at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) as one of the lead trainers. Together, we will unravel the power of storytelling, creative media, and strategic communication to amplify science's voice beyond academia. Science is not just about discovery—it's about connection. Imagine a researcher in Kampala whose work could transform public health policy but struggles to translate their findings into actionable insights for policymakers. Or a young scientist in Nairobi whose groundbreaking study on climate resilience could inspire farmers but remains buried in technical jargon. These stories matter. They hold the potential to change lives and rewrite Africa’s narrative on poverty and development. At this workshop, we will explore how scientists can collaborate with communicators to craft compelling stories that resonate with policymakers, communities, and global audiences alike. From podcasts that bring lab discoveries to life 🎧 to press releases that spark media attention 📰 and digital tools that democratize knowledge 🌐—we will empower participants to make their research accessible and impactful. This mission aligns deeply with my belief that Africa MUST change the way it tackles poverty. Science communication is not just about sharing knowledge; it's about driving action. When researchers effectively communicate their work, they empower communities with solutions rooted in evidence. They influence policies that prioritize sustainable development. They inspire innovation that addresses grassroots challenges. Let us humanize science—infuse it with stories of hope, struggle, and triumph—and ensure it reaches those who need it most. Because when science connects with people, it transforms lives. To my fellow scientists and communicators: this is our call to action. Let’s bridge the gap between discovery and impact. Let’s co-create stories that not only inform but inspire action across Africa and beyond.

Satoshi Nakamoto - True Identity RevealedMike Hydes

��

Satoshi Nakamoto is not a person, Satoshi Nakamoto is a partnership of two individuals. The partners have a formal written partnership agreement which governs the activities of the partnership. The term Satoshi Nakamoto is actually a portmanteau of the individual pseudonyms of the two partners. Satoshi is the pseudonym of Natasha, the maternal aunt of Vitalik Buterin and former cryptologist at the CSE's Tutte Institute for Mathematics and Computing. However, she's still a member of Canada's national security and intelligence community. Nakamoto is the pseudonym of Anastasia, the younger sister of former Edmonton police officer Elena Sinelnikova. The two partners can verify all of this via cryptographic proof employing either the bitcoin genesis block address or the bitcoin block 9 address. The latter being the address that was used to pay 10btc to Hal Finney on January 12, 2009. The two will also verify that they did not mine any of the so called patoshi pattern bitcoins and that bitcoin block 9 does not adhere to that mining pattern. The two also published the proof of stake whitepapper under the pseudonym Sunny King. See https://academy.youngplatform.com/en/crypto-heroes/who-is-inventor-proof-of-stake/ They also published the CryptoNote whitepaper using another pseudonym, that of Nicolas van Saberhagen. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoNote They were also two of several individuals behind the thankful_for_today pseudonym who initiated the development of Monero. see https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/2407/what-is-the-story-with-thankful-for-today-and-the-transfer-of-dev-control They continued to be active in the industry they helped to initiate. They were behind the involvement of Natasha's nephew Vitalik Buterin in the founding of the Ethereum project. They worked behind the scenes on the development of the Metis project by their sisters Natalia Ameline and Elena Sinelnikova. They worked behind the scenes on other projects in the crypto/blockchain industry as well. Natasha's sister Natalia Ameline is one of the cofounders of Cryptochicks.ca along with Anastasia's sister Elena Sinelnikova. Don't take my work for it though, Natalia can be contacted at natalia.ameline@cryptochicks.ca and Elena can be contacted at elena.sinelnikova@cryptochicks.ca - give them a shout why don't you? Natasha and Anastasia also confirm and clarify the role that the organization known as Cicada 3301 played in the origin and development of bitcoin. That is an interesting story you will not want to miss out on. They will also confirm for you all the folks who knew the truth about the origins of bitcoin and who have been lying about it. Natasha expressed an interest moving from the Canadian intelligence community and becoming an RCMP officer prior to revealing the truth about her involvement in the development of the industry. Her stated objective is to work in the RCMP's Federal Policing National Security Program. Let us wish her well

Hinter diesem komplizierten Titel verbergen sich fünf Jahre Experimente, Versuche und Schwierigkeiten mit dem OKR-Rahmen. Definitiv eine harte Nuss: XITASO hatte, wie viele andere Organisationen auch, eine schwere Zeit, es effektiv zum Laufen zu bringen – aber nach einigen mütigen und undogmatischen Änderungen haben wir es geschafft. Strategisches Motto, asynchrones Drumbeating, neue Rollen und Verantwortlichkeiten, Ressourcenzuteilung auf der Grundlage von Beyond Budgeting Prinzipien, Domains und Selbstorganisation – XITASO spielt kein Buzzword-Bingo, sondern hat viel zu erzählen! In diesem aufregenden Vortrag wird Baptiste kurz die holakratische Organisation von XITASO vorstellen (mit 260 Mitarbeitern, 16 Teams und 31 Kreisen) und zeigen, wie sie ihren eigenen OKR-Rahmen geschaffen hat, um Innovationen strategisch und effektiv voranzutreiben. All ihre Erkenntnisse werden auch als kostenlose Handouts in Form des „OKR.X Guide“ zur Verfügung stehen! Speaker: Baptiste Grand

Red blood cell (RBC) indices measure your red blood cells' size, shape, and quality. Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes. They are made in your bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside your large bones). They contain hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. Your cells need oxygen to grow, reproduce, and make energy. Knowing the size and shape of your red blood cells can help your provider determine if you have a certain type of anemia, a condition in which your body does not make enough healthy red blood cells. There are four types of red blood cell indices: Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), which measures the average size of your red blood cells. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), which measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), which measures how concentrated (close together) the hemoglobin is in your red blood cells. It also includes a calculation of the size and volume of your red blood cells. Red cell distribution width (RDW), which measures differences in the volume and size of your red blood cells. Healthy red blood cells are usually about the same size. If one or more of these indices are not normal, it may mean you have some type of anemia. Other names: erythrocyte indices What are they used for? Red blood cell (RBC) indices are part of a complete blood count, a group of tests that measures the number and type of cells in your blood. The results of RBC indices are used to diagnose different types of anemia. There are several types of anemia, and each type has a different effect on the size, shape, and/or quality of red blood cells. Why do I need red blood cell indices testing? You may get this test as part of a complete blood count, which is often included in a routine checkup. You may also need this test if you have symptoms of anemia, which may include: Shortness of breath Weakness or fatigue Headache Dizziness Arrhythmia (a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat) Pale skin Cold hands and feet What happens during a red blood cell indices test? A health care professional will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle. After the needle is inserted, a small amount of blood will be collected into a test tube or vial. You may feel a little sting when the needle goes in or out. This test usually takes less than five minutes. Will I need to do anything to prepare for these tests? You don't need any special preparations for a red blood cell (RBC) indices test. Are there any risks to these tests? There is very little risk to having a blood test. There may be slight pain or bruising at the spot where the needle was put in, but most symptoms go away quickly. What do the results mean? You will get results for each of the indices. Abnormal results may include one or more of the following: Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) If your red blood cells ar
