COMPONENTS OF SERVICE-DOMINANT LOGIC IN B2B MARKETING
Authors: Mazurov Anton
Published: January 2024

Introduction. In the dynamic landscape of contemporary business, the traditional marketing concept undergoes critique due to its limitations concerning B2B interactions. The incongruity between theoretical developments and practical market needs has spurred the emergence of supplementary marketing disciplines, such as service marketing, relationship marketing, etc. The fragmentation of marketing theory has necessitated the formulation of a unifying paradigm that encompasses a multitude of aspects and challenges inherent to modern economics.

Scholars S. Vargo and R. Lusch have proposed the concept of service-dominant logic as a unifying paradigm that emphasizes the central role of service, the concept of value, and co-creation as opposed to the mere exchange of products. In our view, within the debate regarding the role of service in marketing, attention should be directed toward the fundamental components of service-dominant logic, the role and influence of customers on value creation and service provision. Crucial questions include the alignment of market participants into networked structures (service ecosystems) and the search for sources of competitive advantage amidst rapid commoditization of almost any offering.

The hypothesis of the scientific research consists in substantiating the prevalence of the service-dominant logic in B2B marketing compared to the traditional marketing concept and the decisive role of the customer experience as a source of competitive advantage.

The purpose of the study is to examine the components of the service-dominant logic, to identify key distinctions from the traditional marketing paradigm, and to substantiate the significance of the customer experience in B2B marketing.

The methodology of scientific research is general scientific research methods, including: induction and deduction, comparison, expert analysis, classification and description, evaluation grouping, and comparison methods.

Conclusions and prospects for further research. Theoretical provisions of the service-dominant logic and its key distinctions from the traditional marketing paradigm were analyzed. The importance of the customer experience in B2B interactions was substantiated. Further research should focus on empirical validation and implementation issues of service logic, customer experience management and the principles of creation and functioning of service network structures.

Keywords: service-dominant logic; customer experience; value co-creation; value proposition; resource integration; service ecosystem.

Generating Correlations for Specific Volume, Enthalpy, and Entropy of Opteon: Utilizing a Novel Data Fitting Method
Authors:   Kaduna Polytechnic, Mumah S. N.
Published: January 2024

Establishing precise data correlations is a fundamental necessity for effective design, simulation, and optimization of chemical processes. While several correlation-generating methods for data fitting exist, each brings a unique degree of complexity and accuracy. This study introduces a distinctive method, appropriately named, Proportional Nodes Method, for correlating data on surfaces with two independent variables, focusing on precise estimations of correlations for boundary curves and nodal variation at selected points. The application of the proportional node method results in a lower average percentage deviation than the Chebyshev polynomial method (±0.978 for the method utilizing Chebyshev polynomials and ±0.5378 for the Proportional Nodes Method). This novel method exhibits lower complexity and generates correlations with superior simplicity and accuracy. Furthermore, the method effectively develops correlations for three properties—specific volume, enthalpy, and entropy of superheated Opteon, a widely-used refrigerant in automotive air-conditioners. The resulting data shows a satisfactory percentage deviation from the actual data (<+0.22% for a specific volume, <+0.124 for enthalpy and <+0.125 for entropy). In addition, correlations have been generated for the saturated vapour. This method's potential extends to developing correlations for non-overlapping data with two independent variables, making it a powerful tool for chemical process optimization.

Authors:   Korean Association for Qualitative Inquiry, Kwon Boeun , Yu Nan Sook
Published: January 2024

This research is a reflective auto-ethnography on identity of novice elementary school substitute teachers. It captures the process of substitute teachers, feeling a sense of inferiority due to the unstable employment situation, exploring their teacher identity through qualitative research, reflecting on themselves, and communicating with the relationships within the teaching culture context. After the third round of coding, the exploration process of teacher identity for elementary school substitute teachers was categorized into three themes: “Seeing Myself through the Eyes of Others: A Teacher in the Shadow of Inferiority,” “Seeing Myself through Relationships: Being a Teacher with a Name (an acknowledged teacher),” and “Seeing Myself with Liberated Perspective: A Teacher with Personal Value.” In “Seeing Myself through the Eyes of Others: A Teacher in the Shadow of Inferiority,” the journal contains the difficulties and concerns stemming from the sense of inferiority experienced as an elementary school part-time instructor. In “Seeing Myself through Relationships: A Teacher with a Name,” the process of establishing relationships with students and finding meaning as a teacher is explored. “Seeing Myself with Liberated Perspective: A Teacher with Distinctive Value” reflects the realization that what constrained the teacher was not the gaze of the students but the teacher’s own perspective-unconsciously set standards demanded by oneself as a teacher. The journal further describes the acknowledgment of the value of the experience as an elementary school substitute teachers, committing to efforts to become an excellent teacher by accepting it as one’s own, and breaking free from self-imposed constraints. The results of this research are expected to guide numerous novice elementary school substitute teachers who may not lose hope and continue to pursue their teaching dreams by finding their own value. It is also anticipated to serve as foundational information for developing guidance for novice substitute teachers.

This approach offers a dual advantage: preserving precious landfill space while curbing the extraction of raw materials for fresh construction initiatives. Focusing on the utilization of demolished waste as partial replacements for coarse aggregates sourced from C&D Waste Traders in Sirjala, Bengaluru, 10 mm sized recycled aggregates are employed.

Recognizing the porous nature of crushed aggregates owing to residual slurry, a meticulous treatment process is adopted. This includes two-stage treatment involving abrasion to eliminate residual loose slurry, followed by immersion in a fly ash solution with a concentration ratio of 1:6. Subsequently, these treated aggregates, after the curing process, are amalgamated with a robust geopolymer precursor in a mix ratio of 1:3:6 to fabricate 400X200X150 mm blocks.

To gauge the masonry behavior of these innovative concrete blocks, a battery of tests conforming to ASTM codes is meticulously conducted. These evaluations serve as a robust assessment of the structural integrity, durability, and performance characteristics of the blocks, providing critical insights into their potential for widespread adoption in construction practices. This comprehensive analysis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable construction materials and practices, advocating for a paradigm shift towards eco-friendly construction methodologies amidst the burgeoning challenges of waste management and resource scarcity.
Re-envisioning Reference as Outreach
Authors: Bedard Rebekah
Published: January 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed theological education and reference services. Today a growing number of students are studying and accessing the library remotely, and some libraries have found their reference numbers declining. Does reference still matter? If so, how best can we promote reference services to students who may never see us at the reference desk? Since the beginning of the pandemic, there have been excellent studies on theological libraries’ services for distance learners, but there have been few studies on reference services in particular. Studies on the promotion of reference services in academic librarianship predate the pandemic, and further research is needed on how theological libraries can promote reference services in the wake of the pandemic. This study addresses that gap by exploring how we can re-envision reference as outreach to better reach students today. It looks at the vital nature of reference services in supporting academic success, equity, wellness, and connection and examines current challenges to reference services and to reaching students. Finally, it looks at innovative strategies for promoting reference services in the wake of the pandemic through partnerships, Personal Librarian programs, communications, instruction, events, and engaging services. I argue that reference is vital today and that we need to be proactive in promoting it.
Exploring Journal Use in Graduate Research in the Sociology of Religion
Authors: Woods Stephen
Published: January 2024

Analyzing citations in doctoral dissertations provides important insight for the library subject specialist into research patterns in their discipline. One of those patterns, journal usage, is an important signpost for understanding the scholarly scope and shifting trends within a discipline. This study explores journal use patterns in graduate research in the sociology of religion. Using journal clusters, the study examines journal use from 64 dissertations from a population of 516 dissertations in sociology awarded from 2016-2020 from 16 institutions in the Big Ten Academic Alliance. This study provides librarians with an initial framework around the importance of studying journal use. A description of a clustering method of journal use to identify research of religion in sociology dissertations is followed by an introduction of an empirical method for exploring the nuances of journal use based on citation and dissertation counts. This analytical method is explored further by demonstrating three approaches: identifying thematic journal clusters, exploring journal cluster strength, and exploring institutional comparisons. Finally, the study briefly explores how the findings can inform library collection development, instruction, and reference.

Published: January 2024

This conversation group emerged from the discussions of the Roundtable for Virtue-Driven Information Literacy (VIL) formed in 2022. The presenters defined VIL, emphasizing intellectual virtues and the cultivation of virtuous intellectual habits in the pursuit of truth and the potential benefits of VIL as a foundation for information literacy in academic libraries. Participants identified the value of VIL in providing a theoretical framework for information-literacy instruction, motivating students, and connecting library initiatives with faith-based worldviews. Breakout groups also discussed the practical challenges associated with VIL implementation. The presenters concluded with suggestions for resources and an invitation for collaboration among librarians.

Professional relationships that are respectful and caring form the basis for success for theological and religious studies librarians individually and collectively, especially in a rapidly changing world. Atla’s core values include “hospitality, inclusion, and diversity.” Atla has a history of diverse individuals coming together for a common purpose; there is also a trajectory of moving toward greater diversity. This workshop, which originated from a conversation between two Atla Board of Directors members (Susan Ebertz and Karl Stutzman) following a board learning experience with Indigenous leaders, included expert facilitation (Nancy Kirkpatrick) around a variety of questions related to continuing to build respectful relationships within the association.
Models of Librarian and Teaching Faculty Relationships
Authors: Williams Vincent
Published: January 2024

Librarians’ relationships with teaching faculty are a critical component of library success in connecting users to resources and providing engaging services. However, many librarians report challenges relating to teaching faculty. Librarians should proactively manage their relationships with teaching faculty as both sides share the goal of enhancing student learning and research. When collaborations are successful, the users/students benefit most. Librarians should start their outreach by ensuring faculty are aware of collections and services. Then, they can work on better identifying teaching faculty needs and interests. The hard, and ongoing, work of building these relations comes as librarians develop their communication skills, understand teaching faculty as library patrons, strategize the next steps in the relationship, foster mutual trust, and leverage their complementary expertise. Librarians that have good working relationships with teaching faculty at their institutions are better able to contribute to their library's mission and enrich student learning and research.

Published: January 2024

Large-scale processes of transformation of statehood and socio-economic structure that took place in post-Soviet Russia in the last decade of the 20th century affected the system of federative rela-tions and, as a result, interregional ties. The latter, in the liberalization of the entire system of so-cial relations of the Russian state, began to acquire a more horizontal character, and the role of the federal center was to determine the framework conditions and coordinate interregional relations. Fundamental documents that fixed (in chronological order) the reform of the federal structure of the Russian Federation were the Federation Treaty of 31.03.1992: “The Treaty on the Delimitation of the Subjects of Jurisdiction and Powers between the Federal Bodies of State Power of the Rus-sian Federation and the Authorities of the Sovereign Republics within the Russian Federation” (together with the “Protocol to the Federation Treaty”), the Constitution of the Russian Federa-tion, adopted by the National Council of the Russian Federation. The Problem of Development of Interregional Relations within the Russian Federation The Concept of the State National Policy of the Russian Federation. was relevant not only for the last decade of the last century, with its new economic and political realities compared to the Soviet period, but also for the current and future stages of development, which inevitably set new challenges and trends in relations between the federal center and the regions, as well as between the regions of a large country, each of which has its own specifics, starting with territorial and natural and climatic parameters, ending with re-source (in the broad sense of the word) and economic and industrial potential. In the period under review, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (Kabardino-Balkarian Republic), associated with the leadership of the first post-Soviet head (President of the Republic) V.M. Kokov, pursued a rather active policy of establishing direct interregional ties with the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, representing both the South of Russia and much more remote regions.
THE PRE-WAR USSR AND THE NATIONAL QUESTION: ADYGEA IN AN ESSAY BY THE AMERICAN JOURNALIST J. KUNITZ (1931)
Authors:   Russian State Agrarian University – K.A. Timiryazev Moscow Agricultural Academy, Dmitry N. Khristenko
Published: January 2024

This article analyzes an essay by the American writer J. Kunitz, who traveled across the Republic of Adygea in the early 1930s as part of a group of foreign writers to the southern parts of the USSR. The main theme of the essay of the foreign journalist was the consideration of the methods and ways of solving the national question in the Soviet Union using the example of the Adyghe population. At the same time, the essay examines the process of a radical restructuring of the na-tional republic, both in terms of production and economics, and as part of a change in the very so-cial structure of traditional Caucasian society. Kjunitz documents the transformation of funda-mental social institutions in Adygea, such as the role of the family and women, religion, and edu-cation, in comparison to pre-revolutionary eras. The American author expresses his feelings open-ly, passionately praising the changes he sees before his eyes as modernization and a true “cultural revolution” in the life of the Adyghe people.
DZHEGONAS MOUNTAIN JEWS HISTORY AND CULTURE IN THE MODERN DIGITAL ARCHIVES / DATEBASES (SOURCE STUDY ASPECT)
Authors:   Independent scholar, Vladimir I. Kolesov
Published: January 2024

During two decades, the Databases of digitized historical documents had come into sight, specifi-cally WWI and WWII periods (www.gwar.mil.ru; www.obd-memorial.ru; www.podvignaroda.ru; www.pamyat-naroda.ru). It’s bringing a new momentum in the historical and ethnological studies by updating the focus on individual biographies, family stories and their network, genealogies and onomastics. The author is showcasing the potential of Databases for heuristic search on the local Mountain Jews group in Dzhegonas village, Kuban region. It is noted that there is an interaction process between the researcher and the platform, in which the platform, after providing options for the required data, can change the vector and focus of scientific search, thereby changing the object and subject of research, among other things. It is concluded that the advent of such Internet platforms of digitized documents and Databases affects the complex of sources in history and eth-nology on the one hand, and influences research processes on the other.
