Background

Time management is of utmost importance in healthcare facilities since time squandered by health professionals is time not invested in patients, and this affects the quality of care given to patients. This study aimed to assess time management practice and factors affecting it among health professionals at public hospitals in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.

Methods

Institution-based cross-sectional study supplemented with a qualitative study was conducted from April 21 to May 20, 2022, among health professionals working in public hospitals in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 416 study participants. A pretested self-administered questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data, and an interviewer guide was used to collect qualitative data to complement quantitative data. Purposive sampling was used in the qualitative study, and 12 in-depth interviews were carried out till saturation was reached. The quantitative data were entered into Epi Data version 4.0 and analyzed using SPSS 25.0 whereas the qualitative data were analyzed manually using thematic analysis. To identify the associated factors, bi-variable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used. The degree of associations was interpreted using odds ratio and 95% confidence interval at <0.05 p-value.

Results

Of 416 invited participants, 410 of them participated in the study yielding a 98.5% response rate. The magnitude of time management practice among health professionals was 66.1% (95% CI: 61.5–70%). Age ranges 25–29 (AOR = 3.961, 95% CI: 1.068, 14.682) and 30–34 (AOR = 6.240, 95% CI: 1.640, 23.749), planning (AOR = 6.032, 95% CI: 3.478, 10.463), compensation and benefits packages (AOR = 1.888, 95% CI: 1.077, 3.309), responsible to work (AOR = 2.119, 95% CI: 1.192, 3.768), time waster (AOR = 1.855, 95% CI: 1.058, 3.251) and staff shortage (AOR = 0.535, 95% CI: 0.319, 0.896) were factors associated with time management practice. From the qualitative study, two major themes and five categories have emerged.

Conclusion and recommendations

Healthcare facilities could improve their time management practices by providing training on planning, being a low time-waster and highly responsible at work, and designing compensation and benefits packages.
A review of studies on mass-movements on the Moon
Authors: Li Kaixuan , Wang Jiao , Shi Yijian
Published: July 2023

The study of the lunar surface is a significant field in exploring the Moon. As a non-negligible geological process shaping the lunar surface, however, the mass movements on the Moon have not been deeply studied regarding all available datasets. In this paper, we report the results of the literature review and quantitative analysis of 965 articles retrieved from the Scopus, WoS, and Astrophysics Data System databases using keyword search terms between the years 1872 and 2022. The main findings show that the lunar mass movements are a lasting but recent prosperous research topic (since 2009). The top three influential journals in this area are Icarus, JGR, and P&SS. Robinson, Lucchitta, and Carr are the most three productive authors. California Institute of Technology, Arizona State University, and Johns Hopkins University are active institutions leading the lunar mass movements research, and the related institutions are mainly located in the United States, Russia, and China. Articles are primarily published in journals specializing in the fields of astronomy and physics. The index analysis of citation indicates the growth of the academic impact of articles about the lunar mass movements. This article summarizes the datasets, methods, and relevant parameters of lunar mass movements to facilitate future research, as well as discussing the limitations and trends in the field. In addition, four unsolved issues are proposed, including: 1) the lack of a comprehensive global database that records all types of landslides incidents; 2) the need for definite classification indicators to quantify the classification criteria for lunar mass movements; 3) the absence of a mathematical model to explain the triggering mechanism of mass movements on the Moon; and 4) the lack of quantitative indexes to evaluate the modification effect of mass movements on the lunar surface morphology. With the support of big data, the combination of artificial intelligence and traditional GIS methods is expected to become the main approach for addressing these issues such a bibliometric analysis can inspire future researchers by exploring the overall characteristics of the published literature on lunar mass movements.
Wear Prediction of Curved Switch Rail in High-Speed Turnout and Influence of Wheel and Rail Wear on Vehicle Dynamic Performance
Authors: Yan Shuo , Jin Taotao , Ma He , Zhang Jun , Zhou Yi
Published: July 2023

A wear prediction model is built to research the wear of the curved switch rail in a high-speed turnout. The Archard wear model is used in the wear prediction model to analyze the profile evolution law. The non-Hertzian contact Kik–Piotrowski method based on virtual penetration is used as the contact algorithm for the Archard wear model. A dynamic model of the vehicle–curved switch rail system based on the predicted profiles of the curved switch rail and the measured wheel profiles with different stages is established. The effect of the wheel and curved switch rail profiles’ wear on vehicle dynamic performance is analyzed. The results show that the wheel completely transitions from the stock rail to the curved switch rail between 35 and 50 mm head widths. As the head width of the curved switch rail increased, the position of the maximum wear depth gradually moved to the gauge shoulder. When the total passing weight of the train is 50 Mt, the 20 mm head width curved switch rail side wear reaches a maximum of 5.3 mm. The position in which the wheel transitions from the stock rail to the curved switch rail will be further away from the tip of the curved switch rail due to wheel–rail wear. Regarding the derailment coefficient, the wheel–rail vertical force and lateral force are both significantly impacted. However, they have little effect on the vertical and lateral acceleration of the vehicle. The wear of the wheels and rails has a higher impact on vehicle driving safety and a lower impact on vehicle driving stability.

Authors: Chen Mingju , Liu Tingting , Zhang Jinsong , Xiong Xingzhong , Liu Feng
Published: July 2023

To address the issue of the insufficient safety monitoring of power maintenance vehicles during power operations, this study proposes a vehicle monitoring scheme based on ultra wideband (UWB) and deep learning. The UWB localization algorithm employs Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization (CSPO) to optimize the Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA)/Angle of Arrival (AOA) locating scheme in order to overcome the adverse effects of the non-visual distance and multipath effects in substations and significantly improve the positioning accuracy of vehicles. To solve the problem of the a large aspect ratio and the angle in the process of power maintenance vehicle operation situational awareness in the mechanical arm of the maintenance vehicle, the arm recognition network is based on the You Only Look Once version 5 (YOLOv5) and modified by Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM). The long-edge definition method with circular smoothing label, SIoU loss function, and HardSwish activation function enhance the precision and processing speed for the arm state. The experimental results show that the proposed CPSO-TDOA/AOA outperforms other algorithms in localization accuracy and effectively attenuates the non-visual distance and multipath effects. The recognition accuracy of the YOLOv5-CSL-CBAM network is substantially improved; the mAP value of the vehicles arm reaches 85.04%. The detection speed meets the real-time requirement, and the digital twin of the maintenance vehicle is effectively realized in the 3D substation model.

Published: July 2023

It is important to clarify the distribution of pyrolysis products from lignocellulosic biomass for its thermal transformation to produce high-quality bio-oil. Influences of the reaction temperature and catalysts on the pyrolysis product distribution from aspen wood (AW) and rice husk (RH) were studied by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The difference in components from the lignocellulosic biomass results in different pyrolysis characteristics of the biomass raw materials. The reaction temperature significantly influences the product distribution from AW and RH pyrolysis. In all AW catalysis experiments, acids (8.35%), ketones (3.79%), phenols (4.73%), and esters (1.50%) have the lowest content while carbohydrates (48.75%) demonstrate the highest content when taking zinc chloride (ZnCl2) as the catalyst; the HZSM-5 molecular sieve (HZSM-5) promotes the generation of esters (7.97%) and N-compounds (22.43%) while inhibiting production of aldehydes (2.41%); addition of an MCM-41 molecular sieve (MCM-41) is conducive to increasing the contents of aldehydes (21.29%), furans (5.88%), ketones (22.30%), acids (20.46%), and hydrocarbons (4.85%), while reducing the contents of alcohols (0) and carbohydrates (0). In all RH catalysis experiments, the addition of ZnCl2 helps increase the content of carbohydrates (39.16%) and decrease the contents of ketones (3.89%), phenols (5.20%), alcohols (2.34%), esters (1.13%), and N-compounds (3.09%); when applying HZSM-5 as the catalyst, hydrocarbons (18.28%) and alcohols (6.66%) reach their highest content while acids (13.21%) have the lowest content; MCM-41 promotes the generation of aldehydes (25.33%) and furans (5.55%) while inhibiting that of carbohydrates (1.42%).
The experiences of remote consulting for people with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) and fibromyalgia in primary care
Authors: Leach Helen , Atherton Helen , Eccles Abi , Chew-Graham Carolyn
Published: July 2023

Background

Restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a sudden shift to a predominantly remote consulting model in primary care from March 2020. Little evidence exists examining the experience of remote consulting for people living with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) or fibromyalgia, with the current literature focusing on the challenges faced by clinicians and people living with these conditions. Clinical guidance highlights the importance of building therapeutic relationships and personalising care, but it is unclear how this translates into a remote or virtual consulting space.

Aim

To explore how people living with CFS/ME and fibromyalgia experience remote consulting with a primary care clinician, including synchronous and asynchronous methods, that is, e-consultation platforms, email, video, and telephone.

Method

Semi-structured interviews are being recorded and analysed thematically using a Foucauldian theoretical framework. Participants have been recruited across the West Midlands from a range of backgrounds.

Results

Recruitment is still ongoing. Preliminary analysis indicates that remote consulting is acceptable for these groups of patients, but only if they feel validated, listened to, and with a clinician who considers a holistic view with continuity of care.

Conclusion

Remote consulting has presented new challenges for primary care, and it is important to identify which groups of patients are most suited. This study explores the views from a group of patients that are associated with some complexity, and complements the literature that explores the ability to deliver relationship-based care when consulting digitally/remotely. Recommendations from the findings will be created for use by patients and clinicians alike.

Authors: Wan Eric Yuk Fai , Mathur Sukriti , Zhang Ran , Yan Vincent Ka Chun , Lai Francisco , Chui Celine , Li Xue , Wong Carlos King Ho , Yiu Kai Hang , Chan Esther Wai Yin , Wong Ian
Published: July 2023

Background

The evidence on the short- and long-term associations of COVID-19 with cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes and mortality is limited.

Aim

This study aimed to evaluate these associations.

Method

COVID-19 patients (cases) diagnosed between 16 March 2020 and 30 November 2020 were identified from UK Biobank and followed prospectively for up to 18 months. Based on age and sex, cases were randomly matched with uninfected participants from two control cohorts — a contemporary cohort between 16 March 2020 and 30 November 2020, and a historical cohort between 16 March 2018 and 30 November 2018. Characteristics between groups were adjusted with propensity score-based marginal mean-weighting through stratification. The association of COVID-19 with CVD and mortality within 21 days of diagnosis (acute phase) and after this period (post-acute phase) was determined by Cox regression.

Results

In the acute phase, patients with COVID-19 (n= 7584) were associated with a significantly higher risk of CVD (hazard ratio [HR] 4.3 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.6 to 6.9]); 5.0 (95% CI = 3.0 to 8.1)] and all-cause mortality (HR 81.1 [95% CI = 58.5 to 112.4); 67.5 [95% CI = 49.9 to 91.1]) than the contemporary (n= 75 790) and historical controls (n= 75 774), respectively. In the post-acute phase, infected patients’ (n= 7139) association with higher risk of CVD (HR 1.4 [95% CI = 1.2 to 1.8]; 1.3 [95% CI = 1.1 to 1.6]) and all-cause mortality (HR 5.0 [95% CI = 4.3 to 5.8); 4.5 (95% CI = 3.9 to 5.2]) persisted, compared with the contemporary (n= 71 296) and historical controls (n= 71 314), respectively.

Conclusion

COVID-19 is associated with increased short- and long-term risks of CVD and mortality. Ongoing monitoring of signs and symptoms of developing cardiovascular complications post-diagnosis and up till at least a year post-recovery may benefit infected patients, especially those with severe disease.

Published: July 2023

Object detection is a crucial task in computer vision. It brings two essential tasks, classifying and locating the object in the image or video. This task is performed by specialized human operators, which requires the knowledge and experience for reliable detection. However, the high volume of work often drives the operators to exhaustion, causing a low prevalence of targets. This work aims to build a model using a Deep Neural Network (Darknet) and a single pass object detection method (YOLOv4) for the detection of handguns, shurikens, and blade shavings in hand luggage, using the data set GDXray. The YOLO algorithm model identified different items that could impact security, which could be a tool that makes passenger boarding faster and safer.

Kebisingan merupakan suara atau bunyi yang keberadaanya tidak diinginkan sehingga berdampak pada gangguan kesehatan, lingkungan tidak nyaman dan dapat menyebabkan ketulian. Dampak dari kebisingan pada kesehatan dapat terjadi di tempat kerja dan menimbulkan gangguan yang diklasifikasikan secara bertahap. Pada beberapa penelitian ditemukan bahwa adanya paparan bunyi secara tiba-tiba menimbulkan reaksi fisiologis seperti: denyut nadi, tekanan darah, metabolisme, gangguan tidur dan penyempitan pembuluh darah. Pencarian artikel jurnal penelitian didapat dari media publikasi, disaring dari kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi dan didapatkan 10 jurnal yang akan direview. Hasil pengkajian dari penulisan ini adalah dalam semua artikel yang direview oleh penulis memperlihatkan adanya hubungan antara paparan kebisingan dalam jangka waktu lama dengan kadar glukosa darah manusia. Paparan kebisingan menyebabkan peningkatan fosforilasi jnk (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) serta penurunan fosforilasi pada otot rangka sebagai respons terhadap stimulasi insulin eksogen, dan hasil lainnya adalah tingkat plasma TNF-α dan IL-6 di otot rangka meningkat setelah terpapar kebisingan jangka panjang. Paparan kebisingan juga menyebabkan disregulasi aktivitas aksis adrenal hipotalamo-hipofisis dengan pembacaan kortikosteron tinggi, yang tampaknya menumpulkan aksi insulin di jaringan perifer, akibatnya membatasi pengambilan glukosa serta deposisi glikogen pada otot hati dan gastrocnemius.

Fresques murales durant la révolution libanaise de 2019 : des graffs, mémorial d’une nation réunie
Authors: Calargé Fady , Badr Maha
Published: July 2023

Depuis le soulèvement de 2019, les fresques murales se sont multipliées au Liban et s’engagent dans la vie des citoyens pour exprimer leurs soucis, leur colère et leurs revendications. Il semble que, de par ses formes artistiques notamment murales, le « street art » constitue un élément incontournable pour refléter les valeurs de la « révolution ». Dans cet article, nous proposons de revenir, trois ans plus tard, sur le contexte libanais pour voir ce qui reste de ces créations artistiques et pour examiner leur impact sur la mémoire sociale du peuple. Notre hypothèse est que ces fresques et graffs ont pu transcender l’espace (les frontières régionales et géographies du Liban et dans les pays de la diaspora) et le temps (perçu comme moment phare dans lequel se contextualise le soulèvement populaire au Liban en 2019) pour établir une certaine ré-union de la communauté libanaise. Dans cette perspective, il nous incombe d’assumer deux responsabilités : la première c’est d’inventorier et de préserver ces créations artistiques ; la deuxième serait de les intégrer dans les programmes universitaires pour enseigner l’histoire récente du Liban.

Swept Volume Approach for the Characterization of Pumping Loss of Shrouded Meshed Cylindrical Gears
Authors:   HX5 Sierra LLC TFOME II, Hurrell Michael ,   NASA, Delgado Irebert
Published: July 2023

High speed rotorcraft transmissions are subject to load-independent power losses consisting of drag and pumping loss. Tightly conforming shrouds enclosing the transmission gears are often incorporated to reduce the drag component of the total load independent losses. However, tightly conforming axial shrouding can result in an increase in the pumping loss component. Quantifying the pumping loss of shrouded gear transmissions has been the subject of many studies. This study presents a new approach for estimating pumping loss based on the concept of swept volume borrowed from the positive displacement pump and compressor industry. In this study, pumping loss of shrouded gear transmissions is considered to be related to the swept volume of the gear sets and the downstream flow resistance created by the shroud clearances. The drag loss and pumping loss of a spur gear pair have been determined through testing using the NASA Glenn Research Center Gear Windage Test Facility. The results from this testing have been compared to theoretical results using the formulations presented in this study. Good correlation exist between the test pumping power loss and the predicted pumping power loss for tightly conforming axial shroud configurations.
Gut microbiome and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease: Current status and potential applications
Authors: Guo Gong-Jing , Yao Fei , Lu Wei-Peng , Xu Hao-Ming
Published: July 2023

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases worldwide. In recent years, the occurrence rate of MAFLD has been on the rise, mainly due to lifestyle changes, high-calorie diets, and imbalanced dietary structures, thereby posing a threat to human health and creating heavy social and economic burdens. With the development of 16S sequencing and integrated multi-omics analysis, the role of the gut microbiota (GM) and its metabolites in MAFLD has been further recognized. The GM plays a role in digestion, energy metabolism, vitamin synthesis, the prevention of pathogenic bacteria colonisation, and immunoregulation. The gut-liver axis is one of the vital links between the GM and the liver. Toxic substances in the intestine can enter the liver through the portal vascular system when the intestinal barrier is severely damaged. The liver also influences the GM in various ways, such as bile acid circulation. The gut-liver axis is essential in maintaining the body’s normal physiological state and plays a role in the onset and prognosis of many diseases, including MAFLD. This article reviews the status of the GM and MAFLD and summarizes the GM characteristics in MAFLD. The relationship between the GM and MAFLD is discussed in terms of bile acid circulation, energy metabolism, micronutrients, and signalling pathways. Current MAFLD treatments targeting the GM are also listed.

In the Civil Code, the existence of the issue of provisions on Defamation is grouped in the Third Book of Perikatan Chapter II Perikatan which was born for the benefit of the Law. In general, insults in the Civil Code are classified as a genus of Unlawful Acts as regulated in Article 1365 of the Civil Code, where the provisions of contempt are specifically regulated in Articles 1372 to 1380 of the Civil Code. Where in this study is a defamation problem to find out the juridical review of damages on social media based on civil law. The claim for damages aims to regain the honor of defamation. The fundamental difference between the prohibition of defamation in criminal law and civil law lies in the purpose and purpose of the sanction. In criminal law, it lies in the institution of criminal sanctions that are believed to have inhibition power, while in civil law it means the fulfillment of compensation due to defamation.
La tenencia compartida y la corresponsabilidad parental

Published: July 2023

La coparentalidad ha sido una de las instituciones de novísimo aparecimiento en la realidad jurídica nacional. Aquello a partir de la publicación de la Sentencia No. 20-15-IN/21, en la que se realizó una revisión crítica a la coparentalidad y la tenencia compartida. Así también de cómo sus elementos fungen de vital importancia para la materialización de una serie de derecho y obligaciones. La presente investigación tuvo por objeto ahondar de manera crítica y reflexiva en el contenido de la prenombrada sentencia a fin de establecer criterios y directrices clara para la aplicación de esta. Para ello, el contenido metodológico se manifestó a través de la exegética jurídica y la revisión documental respecto de la doctrina, ley y jurisprudencia tanto nacional, como de ordenamientos jurídicos vecinos y de avanzada. Con los que se permitió denotar la necesidad por parte del sistema actual de dotar de reglas claras y precisas en las que el análisis jurisprudencial no recabó. Sin embargo, a partir del análisis obtenido, se augura la pronta reformulación de la tenencia compartida como figura clave para la materialización de la coparentalidad, así como los derechos y obligaciones de los progenitores para con sus hijos.

The paper describes the effect of physical and engineering properties of five rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars, viz. Pusa 1121, Pusa 44, BPT 5205, MTU 7209 and MTU 1010 on the design parameters of precision planter for direct sowing of rice seeds in drylands. The properties were determined in three conditions of seeds, viz. dry condition, 1- day soaking and two day soaking condition. In all the five selected varieties, no significant difference in length was found between dry and soaked seed, while breadth and thickness of the seeds were found slight increase in all varieties. It was observed that the grain length varied from 7.32±0.61 to 13.79±0.93 mm, breadth 2.16±0.21 to 2.58±0.06 mm, sphericity, 43.66±2.45 to 30.56±3.49, 1000 grain-weight 14.37 to 32.6 g, angle of repose 25.25 to 33.68° and bulk density 524.6 to 667.56 kg/m3.The observed values can be used to fabricate the seed metering cells for different varieties with cell diameter ranging from 10 mm to 14 mm. Thickness and cell diameters of the seed metering discs were designed in reference to the maximum breadth and length. Based on the results, it can be revealed that flow rate from the hopper can be affected due to angle of repose and coefficient of friction for rice grains. Thus, to design the hopper the average values of angle of repose and coefficient of friction can be taken. The highest angle of repose observed in PUSA 1121 can be used to have a seed hopper slope of 35° to ensure free flow of seed. The coefficient of friction in all the selected varieties was less with mild steel as compared to galvanized-iron and wood surfaces. It was concluded that a minimum angle of 30°and a plate thickness of 4 mm can be used to design a hopper by selecting the low friction mild steel sheet. The measured bulk density and size values can be used to design a hopper of required capacity and seed metering plate cell size for required number of seeds/hill.

Scientific Content Creation and Dissemination: Opportunities for African Universities in Electronic Publishing
Authors: Elisha R.T. Chiware
Published: July 2023

Africa has made some strides in accessing the Internet over the last decade or so and it has managed to upload considerable information on to the Internet in the areas of business, information technology, connectivity and politics. But there is a missing link in scientific and technological information content creation and dissemination. Several proposals have been made to narrow the gap between developed countries and Africa in terms of uploading information on to the Internet. Besides the growing public information and the presence of commercial web, content generated from African universities is expanding. Internet connectivity in Africa and most of the developing world initially took root mainly in academic institutions and among academics. In some parts of Africa, universities were pioneer users of e-mail and Internet access and there is very little evidence that their interest in ICTs has waned; rather, it is growing. Most Africanuniversities with full Internet connectivity have the potential of playing a critical role in content creation and dissemination through electronic publishing because of their research interests. This paper will address the problems that Africa currently faces in developing content for the Internet and in disseminating that information. The paper will look at institutions that have the potential for creating content for the Internet. It will focus mainly on universities and research institutions’ capacities to take on this role. The paper also addresses other issues of access like limited bandwidth, unreliable electricity and communication transmission services, lack of technical expertise, high costs, etc.

Abstract
O Uso de Pontos de Vista na Elicitação de Requisitos
Authors: Leite Julio Cesar Sampaio do Prado
Published: July 2023

Recentemente a comunidade de engenharia de software vem mostrando cada ves mais seu interesse pela parte inicial da construção de software. Esta parte é conhecida como a análise de requisitos. Em particular, cresce o interesse pela tarefa de elicitação dos requisitos, ou seja, de tornar explícito os desejos, as intenções e necessidades dos clientes em relação ao software a ser construído. Este artigo apresenta os conceitos usados e resultados obtidos na aplicação de pontos de vista na análise de requisitos. A análise de pontos de vista é apresentada como uma alternativa na tarefa de validação da elicitação de requisitos. Com isto pretende-se dispor de uma validação antecipada do entendimento, pelos engenheiros de software, do software a ser construído. Nosso trabalho propõe um formalismo para a representação de pontos de vista, bem como procedimentos automáticos para a análise de diferentes pontos de vista sobre um mesmo problema. Estes procedimentos automáticos produzem uma agenda em que discrepâncias entre visões são identificadas e classificadas.

It is well known that human sensitivity to color and expressive ability varies with age and gender. In addition, the perception, understanding, and comprehension of color vary according to developmental stage and color-related experiences. This study is one approach to research to clarify the relationship between such "sense of color" as above and the developmental stages of children.

In this study, the coloring behavior of teenage subjects; elementary school, junior high school, and university students, to coloring book images were investigated using iPads. The characteristics of coloring and color schemes used in the coloring books were analyzed to explore the relationship with the developmental stages of the children. The coloring book images, mandala-like patterns, used in the investigation were designed originally based on some preliminary investigations. In addition, the original palette of colors systematically arranged in hues and tones was specified to quantitatively analyze the characteristics of the colors used in the coloring book.

The results showed that the hues of colors used with high frequency in coloring books changed as the developmental stage progressed and that the range of tones by the combination of saturation and lightness widened. It was also found that the color schemes were simple and easy to understand at younger ages, while the complexity of the color schemes increased as the children grew older.

This research aimed to develop an information-sharing system between customers and employees and utilize it for practical purposes. We named it the "Caffe System (Customer Affection System)," a system for sharing customer service notes and feedback to improve their satisfaction and loyalty and facilitate the sharing of customer information among employees. As a non-mainstream service, "message to customers" has been used by some stores. For example, Starbucks coffee provides with a particular message service to impress customers: providing the drink with a message or illustration. However, we have no way to know its specific impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty. In this study, we launched the "cup message card," since we conducted the demonstration experiments in a dine-in coffee shop. One of the focuses was to investigate the satisfaction difference between the "cup message card" and "conversation with clerks," which had already become one of the most mainstream service.
