Inclusion in advertising to connect with the consumer(Associacao Iberica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informacao, 2024-01-01)Today’s consumers are more aware of what is happening in their social environment. Therefore, brands are adapting to these new consumer needs that lead to the romanticization of advertising strategies. The objective of this study is to identify the emotions felt by mothers in the inclusive discourse of Milo’s “Together in this back to school” campaign for the generation of awareness and loyalty. Its paradigm and design is phenomenological. The sampling was by snowball. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty women mothers between the ages of 23 and 40. As a result, the use of inclusive discourse in advertising produced positive emotions such as “tenderness” and “emotion”. As a conclusion, if a brand works with social values and uses an inclusive discourse, it can achieve greater consumer acceptance and a change in their behavior towards the brand.Acceso restringido temporalmente

The Role of a Chatbot Personality in the Attitude of Consumers Towards a Banking Brand(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023-01-01)In the recent years, it has been seen that brands have opted to implement chatbots as part of their digital customer service channels, especially since they can be hosted on social networks such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. Although the use of this has become widespread, users perceive them as inefficient and of little credibility. The design of the personality of a chatbot arises as an alternative for the brand to generate a more human interaction with the user and show its brand values to generate a positive experience. In addition, a projected growth of the business value of chatbots for brands of 3.9 trillion dollars is estimated by 2022. For this reason, knowing how brands can rely on the correct implementation of the personality of a chatbot creating a positive influence on its users is important in a growing industry. The present research seeks to know how the personality of the chatbot influences the formation of consumer attitudes towards a brand. This exploratory study used a qualitative methodology of phenomenological design with young adults from Lima. Subsequently, it was analysed through descriptive coding. It was found that the social dynamics, the social role and the physique of the chatbot are the aspects that influence the attitude towards the brand and generate a feeling of trust and closeness between the chatbot and the brand.Acceso restringido temporalmente

eWom, Trust, and Perceived Value Related to Repurchases in the e-commerce Sector of Department Stores(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023-01-01)With the exponential growth in e-commerce retail sales, a variable such as perceived value is essential to consider, to warrant a successful long-term online business. However, eWom and perceived value have not yet been deeply studied together with other variables such as trust and repurchase in e-commerce belonging to department stores. Consequently, this study aims to analyze the influence of perceived value, eWom and trust on repurchases in those e-commerces. The sample was 196 people that repurchased from department stores e-commerce in Lima, Peru. The results were analyzed on Smart Pls. The results established that trust influenced repurchase and that eWom conditioned the perceived value of e-commerce in department stores. Furthermore, the results identified relevant variables that department stores’ e-commerce areas should consider to improve consumer repurchase through their e-commerce.Acceso restringido temporalmente

Peruvian Sign Language Recognition Using Recurrent Neural Networks(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-01-01)Deaf people generally face difficulties in their daily lives when they try to communicate with hearing people, this is due to the lack of sign language knowledge in the country. Deaf people have to go on their everyday lives in company of a interpreter to be able to communicate, even wanting to go to buy bread every morning becomes a challenge for them and being treated in health centers also becomes a challenge, a challenge which should not exist since they have the fundamental right to health. For that reason this paper attempts to present a system for dynamic sign recognition for Peruvian Sign Language and our main goal is to detect which model and processing technique is the most appropriate to solve this problem. So that this system can be used in deaf people everyday life and help them communicate. There have been many projects around the world trying to address this situation. However, each Sign Language is unique in its own way and, therefore, a global and complete solution is not possible. There have also been similar projects in Peru, but all of them share the same flaw of only recognizing static signs. Since sign language is not just the static signs like the alphabet, a solution which addresses also words that can be used in sentences is needed. For this a dynamic recognition is needed, and this is the system that will be presented in this paper.Acceso restringido temporalmente

Content Richness, Perceived Price, and Perceived Ease of Use in Relation to the Satisfaction Level and Brand Equity in Streaming Platforms(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-01-01)Streaming platforms have become popular in recent years, where consumers can view personalized content at any time on the device of their choice. Many brands in this market have been fighting to win more market share. It was seen how they improved their strategies based on several factors such as price, ease of use, content richness, or brand equity. Users tend to have high satisfaction with the streaming platform depending on what brand offers what they value the most. The objective of this study was to find the relationships that the variables content richness (CR), perceived price (PR), perceived ease of use (PEOU), brand equity (BE), and user satisfaction (US) have within this market. The study population was made up of subscribers of streaming platforms in Peru, in which the sample was 400 subscribers who used streaming platforms for more than 6 months. The methodology used was a PLS-SEM analysis using the SmartPLS 3 tool to answer the hypotheses raised in the study. All the scale items were measured by a 7-point Likert scale. The results from the investigation indicated that brand equity was significantly influenced by both content richness and perceived ease of use. Moreover, brand equity and user satisfaction have a high significance between them. This may be since users now value more the richness of content and ease of use on streaming platforms. However, the perceived price was not significantly predictive of brand equity, it could be because some streaming platforms offer more than one pricing plan and the perceptions disperse even more than with the other variables. Overall findings suggest reinforcing the relationships between CR and BE, since there have not been previous investigations.Acceso restringido temporalmente

A Comparative Analysis on the Summarization of Legal Texts Using Transformer Models(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-01-01)Transformer models have evolved natural language processing tasks in machine learning and set a new standard for the state of the art. Thanks to the self-attention component, these models have achieved significant improvements in text generation tasks (such as extractive and abstractive text summarization). However, research works involving text summarization and the legal domain are still in their infancy, and as such, benchmarks and a comparative analysis of these state of the art models is important for the future of text summarization of this highly specialized task. In order to contribute to these research works, the researchers propose a comparative analysis of different, fine-tuned Transformer models and datasets in order to provide a better understanding of the task at hand and the challenges ahead. The results show that Transformer models have improved upon the text summarization task, however, consistent and generalized learning is a challenge that still exists when training the models with large text dimensions. Finally, after analyzing the correlation between objective results and human opinion, the team concludes that the Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation (ROUGE) [13] metrics used in the current state of the art are limited and do not reflect the precise quality of a generated summary.Acceso restringido temporalmente

Web Brutalism: Assessing Usability of an Ugly Web(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-01-01)Brutalist websites are a contemporary trend that uses anti-aesthetic interface elements to create a high-impact visual product. Since the web is a communications product, this research sought to understand if the aesthetics of Brutalist sites overshadow their usability, defined as the ability of a user to effortlessly navigate through the contents of a digital interface to achieve a goal or retrieve information. Triangulation was applied to obtain a solid understanding of the problem. Consequently, three experiments were conducted on a Brutalist website using a group of thirty-one participants. First, Nielsen’s Attributes of Usability Questionnaire (NAU), a test that focuses on five key aspects of usability: learning, efficiency, memorisation, errors, and satisfaction. Second, Brooke’s System Usability Scale (SUS) test to gain deeper insight into the users’ perspective. Third, the Thinking Aloud (TA) protocol to obtain qualitative information to complement the first two experiments. After analysing the data of the NAU and SUS experiments, a numeric score was given to the perused website to objectively evaluate its usability and assign it to five categories, ranging from Deficient (E) to Excellent (A). Those results were complemented by the TA protocol. The findings highlight difficulties to retrieve information, navigation issues, and a lack of orientation. The use of an unconventional graphical user interface impacts the user experience. This study demonstrates that heuristics are necessary to develop robust interfaces and that deviating from these norms is detrimental to the user experience. The visual features of Brutalist websites, though striking, do not deliver a user-centred project.Acceso restringido temporalmente

Characterization of Academic Procrastination in Peruvian University Students(Universidad Nacional, 2022-05-01)Aims. This study aimed to understand the characteristics associated with academic procrastination in engineering students at a private university in Lima. The theoretical bases were Barkley’s Theory of Executive Functions and Bandura’s Theory of Self-Efficacy. Method. A qualitative method combined with a phenomenological design was used to understand the research topic from the participant’s point of view. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten students who attended individual coaching sessions and tended to have low grades and procrastinate. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify, organize and recognize patterns from a deep reading of the data to understand the research topic. Results. The results show that students have not been able to incorporate study habits, which leads them to postpone their tasks. In addition, they are distracted by the use of technology and have anxiety and stress. Conclusions. Nowadays, academic procrastination is understood from a more comprehensive perspective that considers executive functioning, supported by scientific discoveries about the human brain.Acceso abierto

Green Marketing: Drivers in the Process of Buying Green Products—The Role of Green Satisfaction, Green Trust, Green WOM and Green Perceived Value(MDPI, 2022-09-01)Green marketing is currently one of the most powerful strategies in the corporate world as it responds to a growing demand for green products. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the influence of green perceived value on green trust and green satisfaction, study how both variables impact green word of mouth in turn and, at the same time, how the three variables influence green purchase intention. Data collection was carried out through a digital survey of buyers of green products. The hypotheses posed were solved with a PLS-SEM model through the Smart-PLS software. The results showed that green perceived value positively affects green trust and green satisfaction. Furthermore, green satisfaction was found to influence green trust and green WOM. Green trust also influences green WOM. Regarding the antecedents of green purchase intention, only green satisfaction and green trust showed a positive relationship. In contrast, green WOM did not show a relationship with green purchase intention. The article shows the importance of green satisfaction for green companies in achieving green purchase intention, green WOM and green trust. Green perceived value is also an important variable, as it is the trigger for the process that leads to green purchase intention.Acceso restringido temporalmente

University teachers' self-perception of digital research competencies. A qualitative study conducted in Peru(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-10-06)Previous research warns about the limitations that some university teachers in Ibero-America have in relation to digital research competencies. The objective of this research was to analyze the research competencies from the university teacher's self-perception, contrasted with the classroom evaluation. The study had a qualitative approach. Interviews were conducted via the Zoom virtual platform, and recordings (of an average of 4 h each) of classes delivered by 10 teachers with an average age of 58 years old, in charge of scientific research courses at the postgraduate level in Peruvian universities were analyzed. The instruments used included an in-depth interview guide and a checklist. The results show that university teachers perceive themselves as specialists in the area of research, however, they present limitations when transmitting knowledge during the teaching-learning process. There is evidence of a lack of pedagogy, as well as limitations in the use of digital resources and technological tools due to their resistance to change. The conclusions reveal that it is key to make teachers aware of the paradigm shift, with a teaching that includes as digital competencies: knowing how to create and manipulate data, knowing how to use programs and information systems, knowing how to socialize and collaborate in digital environments, knowing how to exercise and respect a digital citizenship, knowing how to manage knowledge assertively, and, as we propose in this paper, knowing how to be a researcher in a digital environment.Acceso restringido temporalmente

Transformations in Framing and the Journalistic Production of Peruvian Television Newscasts During the covid-19 Pandemic(Universidad del Rosario, 2023-01-01)As soon as the spread of the covid-19 began, the media’s information production was affected by social distancing restrictions and journalists were exposed health hazards in an attempt to carry out their jobs. This study aims at learning about the transformations undergone by the television newscasts production in Peru, one of the most affected countries by the pandemic at a global level. Qualitative methods were applied through semi-structured interviews with journalists working during the said period, obtaining results that evince the implementation of several devices and unconventional or unsuitable television processes. This issue is cross-sectional through the three audiovisual production stages—namely, pre-production, media coverage, and post-production—a situation that has never taken place so intensely and permanently. All this leads to the conclusion that the newscasts production had to resort to the hybridization of technologies and procedures to continue performing their duties in such an unexpected and complex context.Acceso restringido temporalmente
