The effect of communication styles on customer attitudes: a comparison of human-chatbot versus human-human interactions

: Numerous companies are implementing chatbots in customer service, computer programs able to conduct conversations thanks to the natural language understanding and machine learning techniques. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of different communication styles of service agents on costumer’s perceived service quality and attitudes, comparing human-chatbot interactions with human-human interactions. We employ an experimental 2x2 between subject design with two levels of agency (chatbot/human) and two levels of communication styles (social-oriented/task-oriented). If on the one hand results show that a social-oriented style is better perceived than a task-oriented style, on the other hand we haven’t found any difference between attitudes towards the chatbot and the human agent. This result suggests that the theory of computer-are-social-actors may be applied also to virtual agents; therefore, as long as the service is well delivered, customers seem to perceive chatbots and human agents in identical ways.
Exploring the Relationships between

Mindfulness has been proposed as an effective tool for regulating negative emotions and emotional disorders. However, little is known about the relationship between mindfulness and shame. The purpose of the current study was to investigate associations between mindfulness, self-compassion and shame. One-hundred and fifty-nine participants completed the Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form and the Experience of Shame Scale. As expected, both mindfulness and self-compassion were negatively correlated with the experience of shame. In addition, self-compassion was found to fully mediate the relationship between mindfulness and shame. In an effort to explore this relationship further, the associations between specific facets of mindfulness (e.g. observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-reactivity, and non-judgment) and shame were examined. Results showed that the non-judgment facet remains a significant predictor of shame even after controlling for self-compassion. These findings highlight the negative self-evaluative nature of shame, suggesting that shamed individuals may benefit most from interventions that foster non-judgment attitudes towards feelings and thoughts.
Effects of Bottom Topography in the Large-Scale Circulation of the Southern Ocean

Abstract The characteristics of an unforced, stratified f-plane geostrophic flow over topography are described, and scaling arguments are made to justify the use of such a flow as a first-order approximation to a real, large-scale circulation. Consideration of integral constraints then provides an insight into the ways in which second-order processes must balance the wind forcing. The importance of bottom pressure in this model is used to test the scalings and theory on a dataset taken from the Fine Resolution Antarctic Model. Two plots of bottom pressure, each with depth dependence filtered out in a different way, confirm the scalings producing the following conclusions: The effect of topography on the bottom boundary condition (no flow through the boundary) is important to the first-order (f-plane geostrophic) circulation; the turning of horizontal velocities with depth is limited, especially in regions of strong flow; and a picture of bottom pressure, appropriately filtered for depth dependence, contai.
deAppetite and gut hormone responses to moderate-intensity continuous exercise versus 1 high-intensity interval exercise, in normoxic and hypoxic conditions

26 This study investigated the effects of continuous moderate-intensity exercise (MIE) and high- 27 intensity interval exercise (HIIE) in combination with short exposure to hypoxia on appetite and 28 plasma concentrations of acylated ghrelin, peptide YY (PYY), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). 29 Twelve healthy males completed four, 2.6 h trials in a random order: 1 ) MIE-normoxia, 2 ) MIE- 30 hypoxia, 3 ) HIIE-normoxia, and 4 ) HIIE-hypoxia. Exercise took place in an environmental chamber. 31 During MIE, participants ran for 50 min at 70% of altitude-specific maximal oxygen uptake ( O V  2max ) 32 and during HIIE performed 6 x 3 min running at 90% O V  2max interspersed with 6 x 3 min active 33 recovery at 50% O V  2max with a 7 min warm-up and cool-down at 70% O V  2max (50 min total). In 34 hypoxic trials, exercise was performed at a simulated altitude of 2,980 m (14.5% O 2 ). Exercise was 35 completed after a standardised breakfast. A second meal standardised to 30% of participants’ daily 36 energy requirements was provided 45 min after exercise. Appetite was suppressed more in hypoxia 37 than normoxia during exercise, post-exercise, and for the full 2.6 h trial period (linear mixed 38 modelling, p < 0.05). Plasma acylated ghrelin concentrations were lower in hypoxia than normoxia 39 post-exercise and for the full 2.6 h trial period ( p < 0.05). PYY concentrations were higher in HIIE than 40 MIE under hypoxic conditions during exercise ( p = 0.042). No differences in GLP-1 were observed 41 between conditions ( p > 0.05). These findings demonstrate that short exposure to hypoxia causes 42 suppressions in appetite and plasma acylated ghrelin concentrations. Furthermore, appetite 43 responses to exercise do not appear to be influenced by exercise modality. the combined hypoxia and normoxia trials, for the combined HIIE and MIE trials.

Estratégia saúde da família: uma inovação tecnológica em saúde

The importance of the Family Health Strategy in the health sector in Brazil, and the debate on technology and technological innovation have led to the development of a theoretical reflection aiming to characterize the Family Health Strategy as a non-material technological innovation of the health field. In order to construct the text, the philosophical and sociological approach was used, as was the conceptualization of technological innovation, found in international documents and in Brazilian legislation and publications regarding technological innovation in health care. These references were used in order to analyze what is prescribed for the Family Health Strategy in the National Primary Healthcare Policy, emphasizing the innovative aspects in relation to biomedicine, which made it possible to support that the Family Health Strategy consists of a non-material technological innovation in health care, of the incremental type. It is concluded that the Family Health Strategy is a non-material technological innovation in health care, due to the principles which it anchors, and is incremental, as it does not completely break with the traditional model in health care.

Electrical and optical properties of Pb(Mg1∕3Nb2∕3)O3–PbTiO3 thin films prepared by chemical solution deposition

92%Pb(Mg1∕3Nb2∕3)O3–8%PbTiO3 (PMNT) thin films have been prepared on Pt∕Ti∕SiO2∕Si substrate with a LaNiO3 (LNO) buffer layer and on sapphire substrate by a chemical solution deposition method, respectively. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the PMNT thin films on Pt∕Ti∕SiO2∕Si substrate are polycrystalline with (110)-preferential orientation. Pt∕PMNT∕Pt capacitors have been fabricated and show a ferroelectric character with a spontaneous polarization (Ps) of 25. 2μC∕cm2 and a remanent polarization (Pr) of 6. 56μC∕cm2. The dielectric constant (er) and the dissipation factor (tanδ) at 1 kHz are 680 and 0.014, respectively. The band-gap energy of the PMNT thin films on the sapphire substrate was found to be about 4.03 eV by the optical transmission spectra measurement. The optical constants (n, k) of the PMNT thin films in the wavelength range of 2.5–12.6 μm were obtained by infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry measurement.
Integrable Systems: From Classical to Quantum

The origin of the term " integrable system " lies in physics. The objects of interest are manifolds equipped with a symplectic structure: the prototype is the phase space of classical mechanics, which parametrizes the coordinates and momenta of a physical system. Any smooth function on the phase space gives rise to a flow (the Hamiltonian flow): if the symplectic form is written
The United States Electronics Industry in International Trade

This note analyses the recent experience of the United States electronics industry in terms of a ‘product cycle’ view of international competitiveness. This view starts from the observed fact that, as a product passes from invention to maturity, the rate of growth of demand will vary ; it will begin slowly, accelerate for a time, and then slow down again when the product becomes mature. The proposition put forward here is that these phases of growth tend to be accompanied by changes in the relative importance of the various factors of production-skilled and unskilled labour, capital, and management ability. These changes-set out in abbreviated form in table 1 and chart 1-have implications for international competitiveness.
Extension of post-harvest quality and storage life of kinnow as affected by various elements

These investigations were conducted in the research farm of Lovely Professional University, Phagwara at School of Agriculture in department of Horticulture on kinnow fruit. there were nine treatments viz . mustard oil, coconut oil, ginger extract- 8%, ginger extract- 10%, ginger extract- 8% + mustard oil + coconut oil, ginger extract- 10% + mustard oil + coconut oil, bees’wax-8% + carbendazim– 0.1%, bees’wax-10% + carbendazim– 0.1% including control treatment and all treatments were replicated thrice. Data on various Physico-chemical properties was recorded and significant difference were discovered for unalike treatments. Results of experimentation revealed that coconut oil exhibited highest mean TSS and acid ratio. Combination of 8% bees’ wax + carbendazim- 0.1% showed highest vitamin C during storage, while 10% bees’wax + carbendazim- 0.1% proved to be best treatment for maintaining quality and extending shelf-life due to least lost in weight, decay percentage, higher titrable acidity, total soluble solids and juice recovery percentage during storage period of kinnow fruit.
Alpha Centauri

The nearest star α Centauri is a triple system. The star α Cen, one of the pointers to the Southern Cross, is itself a −0.3 mag visual binary consisting of a α Cen A, a G2V star popularly considered to resemble the Sun, and α Cen B, a KOV star. The orbital period is 80.089 years, the semimajor axis is 23.5 AU, the distance 1.34 pc, the masses are 1.11 and 0.92 (±0.03) M⊙ (Kamper & Wesselink 1977). The third star, Proxima Cen (V645 Cen) is a faint common proper-motion companion separated from α Cen AB by about 2°. It is known to most people only by virtue of being slightly closer to the Sun than is α Cen A, and therefore actually the closest star. This 11th mag flare star is undoubtedly coeval with a α Cen AB, but being the least massive by a considerable margin, may have been ejected from the system shortly after formation.
Teachers using classroom data well: Identifying key features of effective practices

The Queensland College of Teachers (QCT) initiated this report as an investigation of the practices associated with Standard 5 of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (AITSL, 2011). Related to professional practice, Standard 5 refers to “assess, provide feedback and report on student learning. ” This Standard incorporates school executive and teacher understandings of how to collect, analyse, interpret and use systemic and classroom data to support and improve students’ learning. It is argued that the development of teachers’ knowledge and skills in these areas will assist with informing and generating improved student outcomes. Simultaneously the acquisition of such knowledge and skills will empower teachers as they become inquiry-minded and data-literate.
Disaster Reanimatology Potentials: A Structured Interview Study in Armenia I. Methodology and Preliminary Results

Abstract In general, preparations for disasters which result in mass casualties do not incorporate a modern resuscitation approach. We explored the life-saving potential of, and time limits for life-supporting first aid (LSFA), advanced trauma life support (ATLS), resuscitative surgery, and prolonged life support (PLS: intensive care) following the earthquake in Armenia on 7 December 1988. We used a structured, retrospective interview method applied previously to evaluation of emergency medical services (EMS) in the United States. A total of 120 survivors of, and participants in the earthquake in Armenia were interviewed on site (49 lay eyewitnesses, 20 search-rescue personnel, 39 medical personnel and records, and 12 administrators). Answers were verified by crosschecks. Preliminary results permit the following generalizations: 1) a significant number of victims died slowly as the result of injuries such as external hemorrhage, head injury with coma, shock, or crush syndrome; 2) early search and rescue was performed primarily by uninjured covictims using hand tools; 3) many lives potentially could have been saved by the use of LSFA and ATLS started during extrication of crushed victims. 4) medical teams from neighboring EMS systems started to arrive at the site at 2-3 hours and therefore, A TLS could have been provided in time to save lives and limbs; 5) some amputations had to be performed in the field to enable extrication; 6) the usefulness of other resuscitative surgery in the field needs to be clarified; 7) evacuations were rapid; 8) air evacuation proved essential; 9) hospital intensive care was well organized; and 10) international medical aid, which arrived after 48 hours, was too late to impact on resuscitation. Definitive analysis of data in the near future will lead to recommendations for local, regional, and National Disaster Medical Systems (NDMS).
Factors associated with overweight and obesity among public high school students of the city of Caruaru, Northeast Brazil

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and factors associated with overweight and obesity among public high school students of Caruaru, Northeast Brazil. METHODS: Cross-sectional study, with a representative sample. The study evaluated anthropometric (weight and height), socio-demographic and economic variables (gender, age, marital status, place of residence, family income and school grade) and those related with lifestyle (physical activity, sedentary behavior, dietary intake, stress levels, smoking, alcohol consumption and quality of sleep). Binary logistic regression was conducted, considering overweight and obesity as the main outcomes, being significant p<0.05. RESULTS: The final sample consisted of 600 students (62.5% females), with a mean age of 17.5±1.6 years. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 19.0% (95%CI 15.9-22.4) and 5.5% (95%CI 3.8-7.7), respectively, without differences between genders. The proportion of overweight was higher among those who reported a negative perception of stress, those with insufficient physical activities, and the individuals who reported alcohol consumption. There was a higher proportion of obesity among the students with a negative perception of sleep, those with insufficient physical activities, and those who reported watching TV more than three hours per day and having candies four times or more per week. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed a high prevalence of overweight and obesity associated with modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity, alcohol consumption, negative perception of sleep, time in front of TV greater than three hours per day and consumption of candies four times or more per week.
Early fracture-controlled disseminated mineralization at Butte, Montana

Solution transport through intensely fractured quartz monzonite wall rock resulted in the formation of a large-tonnage, low-grade mineralized zone in the Butte district before the formation of the much larger and more continuous high-grade vein structures that have been mined for almost a century. The early, pre-Main Stage, copper mineralization is directly related to the presence of small, alkali feldspar-stable, discontinuous veinlets and alteration halos which carry important amounts of disseminated chalcopyrite. Molybdenite occurs mainly in quartz or quartz and alkali feldspar veins. A general sequence of alteration assemblages, based on cross-cutting relationships, shows a systematic trend of decreasing mineralogic complexity toward the younger pre-Main Stage assemblages. Microscopic fabric studies show that alteration minerals around early veinlets are arranged in zones parallel to veinlet walls. The alteration mineralogy in the bands is very simple near veinlets and increases in mineralogic complexity away from the veins. Partial replacement textures in the alteration zones show that at least some of the discontinuities in mineral assemblages represent reaction fronts. Compositions of hydrothermal alkali feldspars and adjacent muscovites, determined with the election microprobe, are generally constant within individual specimens, but vary considerably from sample to sample. A model is developed in this study of the partitioning of alkalies between muscovite and alkali feldspar at quartz saturation which implies temperatures in the range of 600 degrees to 700 degrees C for early alteration and mineralization. Phase equilibria applied to the early mineral assemblages in Butte are consistent with this temperature range and imply conditions near the triple point andalusite-alkali feldspar-muscovite in the presence of quartz. A genetic relationship between quartz porphyry intrusives and the earliest high temperature hydrothermal features seems reasonable, as these intrusives provide a possible solution source and fracture mechanism for mass transport of the important base metals into the densely fractured equigranular quartz monzonite country rock.
Effect of Loss Aversion Behavior on Stock Market Reaction in Kenya

: Loss aversion behavior indicates that people are more sensitive to losses than to gains. Loss aversion behavior can causes stock prices to deviate from its fundamental value leading to stock market reaction resulting from abnormal stock returns. The objective of the study was to determine the effect that loss aversion behavior has on stock market reaction in Kenya. The target population was 67 listed companies at the Nairobi Securities Exchange. A sample of 48 listed companies was used for analysis. Secondary data extracted from Nairobi Stock Exchange historical data of listed companies for the period 2004 to 2016 was used for analysis. The study adopted quantitative research design. Unit root results showed that all the variable were stationary. Panel data regression was used to analyze data. Panel Pooled Least Squares estimation model was used in the analysis. The results indicate that loss aversion behavior has a negative significant effect on stock market reaction in Kenya. observed of returns stock

The ‘Green Paper’ On the Development Areas

The publication on 5 April 1967 by the Department of Economic Affairs and the Treasury of the paper containing a proposal for a regional employment premium is a notable event for at least two reasons. In the first place it establishes an important precedent in what is essentially the budgetary field by putting forward a government proposal for public discussion in advance of the introduction of any specific measure of legislation. In the second place it provides a brief and lucid analysis of the problem of the development areas as a background for the proposals that it develops.
