From a Literature Review to a Conceptual Framework for Customer-To-Customer Value Co-Creation

Albeit customer-to-customer interaction (CCI) is something inevitable in a socially dense interaction-rich service setup, there has not been any review in this area of literature. However, a considerable amount of extant research has highlighted the importance of inter-customer encounters during a service encounter. Customer-to-customer value co-creation during collective consumption is gaining relevance in the field of contemporary services marketing research. This review deals with searching articles through the Scopus database and systematically reviewing 115 articles related to customer-to-customer value co-creation and CCI. While highlighting their contribution to the services marketing literature and various theories, methodologies followed by the authors, it paves the way for developing the proposed conceptual framework for the process of customer-to-customer value co-creation. This way, the article adds up to the extant multi-approach research area revolving around customer-to-customer interactions/relationships, customer engagement, and value co-creation among the customers during a service encounter. The study recommends practitioners analyze and monitor the aspects proposed through a practical implication.
Examining the Role of Cloud Radiative Interactions in Tropical Cyclone Development Using Satellite Measurements and WRF Simulations

This study examines the role of cloud‐radiative interactions in the development of tropical cyclones using satellite measurements and model simulations. Previous modeling studies have found that the enhanced cloud radiative heating from longwave radiation in the convective region plays a key role in promoting the development of tropical convective systems. Here, we use satellite measurements and Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) simulations to further investigate how critical cloud radiative interactions are to the development of tropical cyclones (TCs). Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System measurements show that intensifying TCs have greater radiative heating from clouds within the TC area than weakening ones. Based on this result, idealized WRF simulations are performed to examine the importance of the enhanced radiative heating to TC intensification. Sensitivity experiments demonstrate that removing cloud‐radiative interactions often inhibits tropical cyclogenesis, suggesting that cloud‐radiative interactions play a critical role.
Structural Transformation Identification of Sputtered Amorphous MoSx as an Efficient Hydrogen-Evolving Catalyst during Electrochemical Activation

Molybdenum sulfide, MoSx, is considered as attractive hydrogen evolution catalyst since it is free of noble metals and shows a low overpotential. Especially, amorphous molybdenum sulfide has attracted attention because of its high catalytic activity. However, the catalytic mechanism of the hydrogen evolution reaction is not yet fully understood. Therefore, in our study, layers of MoSx were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering, varying the substrate temperature in the range from room temperature (RT) to 500 °C. The morphology and structure of the films change significantly as a function of temperature, from an amorphous to a highly textured 2H-MoS2 phase. The highest catalytic activity was found for amorphous layers deposited at RT, showing an overvoltage of 180 mV at a current density of −10 mA cm–2 in a 0.5 M sulfuric acid electrolyte (pH 0.3) after electrochemical activation. As detected by Raman spectroscopy, the RT deposited catalyst consists of [Mo3S13]2– and [Mo3S12]2– entities which are inter.
The Role of an Advocate in Innovating the Adaptive Apparel Market: A Case Study

The apparel global supply chain is fragmented and globalized, making it challenging to satisfy consumers’ wants and needs. Thus, to satisfy the consumer's wants and needs, global supply chain management is critical to a brand's success in the marketplace. The goal of this study was to gain an in-depth, holistic, and contextualized understanding of the experience and knowledge Mindy Scheier, an adaptive apparel advocate, gained by managing and negotiating the existing supply chain functions during her collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger® to launch the first mainstream children's adaptive apparel line. To achieve this goal, a case study was deployed. The authors found that supply chain networks required unique adaptations to their existing manufacturing processes to ensure the adaptive design innovations were viable; however, those supply chain adaptations were not significant. Further, the authors found that a collaborative partnership with an advocate seemingly provided a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Biogeochemical and Hydrological Variables Synergistically Influence Nitrate Variability in Coastal Deltaic Wetlands

Coastal river deltas are centers of surface water nitrate processing, yet the mechanisms controlling spatio‐temporal patterns in nutrient variability are still little understood. Nitrate fluctuations in these systems are controlled by complex interactions between hydrological and biogeochemical drivers, which act together to transport and transform inorganic nutrients. Distinguishing the contributions of these drivers and identifying wetland zones where nitrate processing is occurring can be difficult, yet is critical to make assessments of nutrient removal capacity in deltaic wetlands. To address these issues, we analyze relationships among regional “external” (river discharge, tides, wind) and local “internal” (water level, temperature, turbidity, and nitrate) variables in a deltaic wetland in coastal Louisiana by coupling a process connectivity framework with information theory measures. We classify variable interactions according to whether they work uniquely, redundantly, or synergistically to influence nitrate dynamics and identify timescales of interaction. We find that external drivers work together to influence nitrate transport. Patterns of hydrological and sediment connectivity change over time due to tidal flushing and discharge variation. This connectivity influences the emergence of functional zones where local nitrate fluctuations and temperature and water level process couplings are strong controls on nitrate variability. High vegetation density decreases hydrological process connectivity, even during periods of high river discharge, but it also increases biogeochemical process connections, due to the lengthening of the hydraulic residence time. Based on these results we make recommendations for monitoring nitrate in a wetland.
Effect Of Independence, Integrity And Accountability Auditors On Audit Quality With Ethics Of Auditor As Moderating Variable (Study At Public Accountants Office In Medan)

The purpose of this research to test and analyze the influence of auditor independence, integrity and accountability on audit quality moderated by ethics. This research approach is quantitative with associative research type. This research was conducted using a survey method by distributing questionnaires to auditors who work at the Public Accounting Firm in Medan. Sampling using purposive sampling, with a total sample of 90 respondents. The data were analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation model (SEM-PLS). The results of this study indicate that auditor independence has a significant and positive effect on audit quality. Auditor integrity has no effect on audit quality, and auditor accountability has a significant and positive effect on audit quality. In addition, this study also found that ethics did not moderate the influence of auditor independence on audit quality, ethics did not moderate the effect of auditor integrity on audit quality and ethics did not moderate the effect of accountability on audit quality. For this reason, auditors are expected to continue to improve their independence, integrity, accountability and ethics in order to improve audit quality, by continuing to carry out technical training that is sufficient to cover technical aspects as well as general education. The novelty of this research is that the researcher uses the majority of auditors to be in the category of young adults, which can be one of the factors causing the integrity variable to not affect audit quality.
Risks and subgroups of cognitive impairment under different marital status among older adults: a latent profile analysis

Background and objective: With aging, cognitive impairment is severe in the aging society. This paper aimed to investigate the association between cognitive impairment and marital status and the empirical typology of cognitive impairment in Chinese aging population. Methods: Descriptive statistics were performed by retrieving data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) to test the relation between cognitive impairment and marital status with univariate linear regression and multivariate linear regression. The subgroups of cognitive impairment for included older subjects were identified with latent profile analysis (LPA). Results: The sample included 13,149 participants aged 40 years or older. Both unmarried males and females suffer lower cognitive function than married males and females (P < 0.001). The declining trend remained consistent (P < 0.05) after adjustment for covariates. The participants who were illiterate or older or agricultural hukou had lower cognitive functions than their counterparts. LPA results showed that the cognitive function of participants could be divided into three subgroups. Conclusions: Unmarried males and females had lower cognitive function than that of married counterparts due to the declined percentage of class two, who have high mental intactness and episodic memory.
English-Malay speech acquisition by children with Indian (Tamil) heritage

ABSTRACT Speech acquisition by Indian children is under-explored. This study investigates English-Malay speech acquisition by forty children (2;06-4; 05) of the third largest ethnic group (Indian) in Malaysia, a multi-ethnic multilingual country. The multilingual model and multilingual phonological test proposed by (Lim, Wells, & Howard, [2015] Rate of multilingual phonological acquisition: Evidence from a cross-sectional study of English-mandarin-malay. Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 29(11), 793–811; Lim [2018] Multilingual English-Mandarin-Malay phonological error patterns: The multilingual model and multilingual phonological test proposed in the initial cross-sectional study of 2 to 4 years old Malaysian Chinese children. Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 32(10), 889–912. ) were used in the present assessment and analysis of child speech data. Two versions of the multilingual phonological test (English and Malay) were administered to the children. The age of phoneme acquisition and phonological patterns were analysed. The children showed comparable phonological milestones with children of other ethnic heritages acquiring the same languages. All singleton consonants were acquired by 4;06. All except one consonant cluster (/dɹ/) were acquired by 4; 06, indicating earlier acquisition than the local Chinese children in the past study. All vowels were acquired by 2; 11 and vowel phonological patterns were rare. There was a decrease with age in the use of consonant phonological patterns. Some consonant phonological patterns were shared by both languages (e.g., fronting), others were used in one language only (e.g., English cluster reduction) implicating the influences of language universalities and ambient language characteristics. Only age and language dominance factors, but not sex factor were found to have influenced the English-Malay speech acquisition. The extra exposure to Tamil by some children (38%) might have accelerated the acquisition of English clusters since Tamil shares clusters with English. The present findings contribute both clinical information to speech-language therapists and theoretical knowledge to the current literature of child phonology.
The influence of firm, industry and concentrated ownership on dynamic capital structure decision in emerging market

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the impact of firm, industry level determinants and ownership concentration on the dynamic capital structure decision in Indonesia and analyses the governing theories. Design/methodology/approach This study uses the dynamic panel model of generalized method of moments-System (one-step and two-step) by using a panel data from 2000 to 2014 to examine the relationship between the determinants and leverage. The results are robust to the various definitions of leverage, heterogeneity, autocorrelation, multicollinearity and endogeneity concern. Findings Growing firms and firms operating in a highly concentrated industry use high level of debt, taking advantage of the tax shield (trade-off theory). However, if the firms are operating in a highly dynamic environment, they take on less debt as to avoid bankruptcy risk. Firms in Indonesia opt for debt financing perhaps to act as a controlling mechanism to mitigate agency conflicts that may exist between the large controlling shareholders and the minority. Aged and highly profitable firms with high tangible and intangible assets and liquidity level operating in a high dynamic environment follow the pecking order theory. Research limitations/implications This study does not perform each industry regression individually. All the industries are pooled together, as the main focus of this study is to examine the factors affecting leverage of firms in general without giving particular attention to individual industry. Originality/value The insights on the impact of ownership concentration and industry characteristics are novel especially on Indonesia, thus fill the gap in the literature.

Enel ensamblaje íctico de caños, se registraron especies especialistas como indicadoras a diferencia delos esteros. Se sugiere que los caños albergan comunidades más complejas y diversas, en tanto quelos esteros son dominados por especies generalistas.
Homogeneous Group Formation in Collaborative Learning Scenarios: An Approach Based on Personality Traits and Genetic Algorithms

The incorporation of collaborative work in the educational field grows day after day, as does the research associated with this topic. One of the most recurring problems faced by teachers who want to employ this learning strategy is the good students’ group formation since this task can be complex both conceptually and computationally, especially if the aim is to automate it. Considering that group formation is key when developing activities in collaborative learning scenarios, this article aims to propose a technique based on a genetic algorithm approach for achieving homogeneous groups, considering the students personality traits as grouping criteria, since, the aforementioned traits, have proven to be significantly predictive of academic performance and, in addition, to be associated with variables with a strong influence on academic success, such as intelligence and beliefs of self-efficacy. A controlled experiment was designed with 132 students, quantifying the personality traits through the “Big Five Inventory,” forming working groups and developing a collaborative activity in the initial programming courses. The experiment results allowed validation, not only from a computational point of view evaluating the algorithm performance but also from a pedagogical point of view, confronting the results obtained by students: formation based on personality traits versus formation by the students’ preference. The highlight of this article is that the homogeneous groups generated by the proposed approach produced better academic results compared to those obtained by groups generated by the students' preference, at the moment of developing a collaborative activity.
Basis Set Effects in the Description of the Cl-O Bond in ClO and XClO/ClOX Isomers (X = H, O, and Cl) Using DFT and CCSD(T) Methods

The performance of a group of density functional methods of progressive complexity for the description of the ClO bond in a series of chlorine oxides was investigated. The simplest ClO radical species and the two isomeric structures XClO/ClOX for each X = H, Cl, and O were studied using the PW91, TPSS, B3LYP, PBE0, M06, M06-2X, BMK, and B2PLYP functionals. Geometry optimizations and reaction enthalpies and enthalpies of formation for each species were calculated using Pople basis sets and the (aug)-cc-pVnZ Dunning sets, with n = D, T, Q, 5, and 6. For the calculation of enthalpies of formation, atomization and isodesmic reactions were employed. Both the precision of the methods with respect to the increase of the basis sets, as well as their accuracy, were gauged by comparing the results with the more accurate CCSD(T) calculations, performed using the same basis sets as for the DFT methods. The results obtained employing composite chemical methods (G4, CBS-QB3, and W1BD) were also used for the comparisons, as well as the experimental results when they are available. The results obtained show that error compensation is the key for successful description of molecular properties (geometries and energies) by carefully selecting the method and basis sets. In general, expansion of the one-electron basis set to the limit of completeness does not improve results at the DFT level, but just the opposite. The enthalpies of formation calculated at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV6Z for the species considered are generally in agreement with experimental determinations and the most accurate theoretical values. Different sources of error in the calculations are discussed in detail.
Educating Marketing Students to Understand Designers’ Thought-Worlds

Marketers and designers are likely to work together on innovation teams as they both have customer satisfaction as their end goals. Collaboration between these disciplines in innovation teams is often impaired due to the different thought-worlds that drive decision making: intuitive versus rational. To facilitate collaboration between design and marketing it is valuable to teach marketers about designers’ ways of thinking. Approaches to teaching design thinking to marketing students often focus on students becoming more creative, intuitive, and innovative themselves. However, the integration of the two disciplines does not require that marketers become designers, and vice versa, as both bring unique skills necessary for successful innovation. An educational framework is presented that aims to teach marketing students an understanding of the thought-world of design thinking rather than to become design thinkers themselves. The focus is on recognizing how the others’ approach to the same goals are complementary to their own approaches instead of being different or “wrong. ” This framework is unique in aligning design thinking phases with critical thinking phases—marketing students’ dominant thinking style—through specifically chosen activities to scaffold the understanding of an intuitive, divergent, and creative thinking approach to the development of innovative marketing ideas.
What is the degree of teacher centrality in optimal teaching of digital literacy in a technology-enhanced environment? Typology of teacher prototypes

Abstract This study explored the degree of teachers’ centrality in the classroom while developing digital literacies of their students and the pedagogical strategies which are employed by teachers in this process. We conducted a bottom-up analysis on 65 semi-structured interviews (n = 4372 statements) based on two conceptual frameworks: the Digital Literacy framework and the 5Cs framework with a nation-wide sample of elementary and secondary-teachers. The findings offer a typology of four teacher prototypes regarding the degree of their centrality in a technology-enhanced classroom and the mapped pedagogical strategies employed by each prototype. Based on bottom-up coding, the study expands the above-mentioned frameworks regarding re-production thinking, socio-emotional thinking, e-communication, and collaboration literacies. We discuss the implications for educational theory and practice.
Epidemiological Characteristics of COVID-19 Deaths in China: An Analysis of Environmental Factors

Background Since December 2019, China has carried out dramatic containment measures to control the spread of COVID-19. As of April 6, 2020, most of the confirmed cases outside Hubei province have been cured or confirmed dead. In this study, we aimed to understand environmental factors leading to COVID-19-related mortality outside of Hubei province, in mainland China. Methods We collected spatial-temporal and environmental data of 99 cases of COVID-19-related deaths outside of Hubei province in Mainland China between January 22, 2020 and April 6, 2020. A descriptive analysis, including a spatial-temporal distribution of daily reported diagnosed cases and related deaths, was conducted. We analyzed the possible environmental factors that affect the provincial-level CFR of COVID-19 outside Hubei, China. Results Among the 99 reported deaths, 59 (59.6%) were male and 40 (40.4%) were female. The mean age at death was 71.30 (SD 12.98) years and 74 deaths were among those 65 years or older. The CFR was negatively correlated with temperature (r=-0.679, P < 0.001) and humidity (r=-0.607, P = 0.002), while latitude was positively correlated with the CFR (r = 0.636, P = 0.001). There were no statistically significant associations between CFR and the social environment factors. Conclusion Higher CFR of COVID-19 was associated with lower temperature, lower humidity, and higher latitude. Continual analysis of daily reported diagnoses and mortality data can help healthcare professionals and policy makers understand the trends within a country in order to better prepare nationwide prevention and care guidelines, along with adequately appropriate funds accordingly.
