The influence of customer involvement and engagement on co-creation of services, satisfaction, and loyalty: The case of Software as a Service
Authors: Dewarani Geraldine , Alversia Yeshika
Published: April 2023

Software as a digital product has been shown to improve companies’ performance and efficiency. One product that is now at the core of many businesses is Software as a Service (SaaS). By utilizing cloud computing platforms, SaaS is a method of providing applications as a service. SaaS applications have unique characteristics that can be customized to meet customers’ needs. Hence, SaaS has become suitable for companies of all types and sizes, including small- and medium-sized enterprises. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of customer involvement on the development of SaaS applications and the impact of customer engagement on the co-creation of services, satisfaction, and loyalty, with the co-creation level used as a moderating variable. Data were collected from responses to an online questionnaire by 282 users of a SaaS application in Indonesia who were the decision-makers of the selected SaaS provider. The data were then analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results show that customer involvement in developing SaaS applications significantly positively affects the co-creation of services, satisfaction, and loyalty (t-value > 1.645). Moreover, the level of co-creation was proven to strengthen the impact of customer involvement on the co-creation of services with an interaction Standardize Loading Factor (SLF) path of 1.36. Hence, the findings indicate that higher customer involvement promotes collaborative activities with service providers, and the optimum level of co-creation raises customer satisfaction.

Experimental research on the jet-breaking characteristics and hydraulic performance of a novel automatic rotating sprinkler
Authors: Pan Xuwei , Jiang Yue , Li Hong , Qin Longtan
Published: April 2023

To improve the performance of sprinklers that work under low pressure, a new type of automatic rotating sprinkler equipped with different water dispersion devices was designed and the jet diffusion angle and hydraulic performance of the new and original sprinklers were compared using experimental methods. The results indicate that, when the working pressure is below 200 kPa, the jet diffusion angle of the new sprinkler with the water dispersion device B is the largest. Although the pattern radius of the new sprinkler is slightly lower than that of the original, it is more effective in improving the combined coefficient of uniformity (CU) at lower working pressures. Specifically, when the working pressure was 100 kPa, the new sprinkler with the water dispersion device B, which has a square inner hole with a side length of 6.2 mm, improved the CU by 54.89% on average. Remarkably, the CU of the new sprinkler with water dispersion device B at a working pressure of 100 kPa was 6.65% higher than that of the original sprinkler at a working pressure of 200 kPa. The research results provide valuable insights into the design of sprinklers to improve the performance of low-pressure sprinkler irrigation systems.
Rate constants for the reactions of chloride monoxide radical (ClO•) and organic molecules of environmental interest
Authors: Wojnárovits László , Takács Erzsébet
Published: April 2023

ClO• plays a key role in the UV/chlorine process besides Cl•, Cl2• − , and •OH. In many experiments, ClO• proved to be the main reactant that destroyed the organic pollutants in advanced oxidation process. About 200 rate constants of ClO• reactions were collected from the literature, grouped together according to the chemical structure, and the molecular structure dependencies were evaluated. In most experiments, ClO• was produced by the photolytic reaction of HClO/ClO−. For a few compounds, the rate constants were determined by the absolute method, pulse radiolysis. Most values were obtained in steady-state experiments by competitive technique or by complex kinetic calculations after measuring the pollutant degradation in the UV/chlorine process. About 30% of the listed rate constant values were derived in quantum chemical or in structure-reactivity (QSAR) calculations. The values show at least six orders of magnitude variations with the molecular structure. Molecules having electron-rich parts, e.g., phenol/phenolate, amine, or sulfite group have high rate constants in the range of 108–109 mol−1 dm3 s−1. ClO• is inactive in reactions with saturated molecules, alcohols, or simple aromatic molecules.
Intuitionistic fuzzy optimization method for solving multi-objective linear fractional programming problems
Authors: Solomon Mohamed , Zaher Hegazy Mohamed , Saied Naglaa Ragaa
Published: April 2023

An iterative technique based on the use of parametric functions is proposed in this paper to obtain the best preferred optimal solution of a multi-objective linear fractional programming problem (MOLFPP). Each fractional objective is transformed into a non-fractional parametric function using certain initial values of parameters. The parametric values are iteratively calculated and the intuitionistic fuzzy optimization method is used to solve a multi-objective linear programming problem. Also, some basic properties and operations of an intuitionistic fuzzy set are considered. The development of the proposed algorithm is based on the principle of optimal decision set achieved by the intersection of various intuitionistic fuzzy decision sets which are obtained corresponding to each objective function. Additionally, as the intuitionistic fuzzy optimization method utilizes the degree of belonging and degree of non-belonging, we used the linear membership function for belonging and non-belonging to see its impact on optimization and to get insight into such an optimization process. The proposed approaches have been illustrated with numerical examples.

Published: April 2023

Micrometer-sized lenses are known to be able to resolve objects beyond the diffraction limit.
In this paper, using the matrix formalism in imaging, we discuss two possible models of this phenomenon. The first model considers the transformation of the source field keeping the real image unchanged. The second model is focused on finding the scattering matrix a particle that gives super resolution in virtual image. Both approaches demonstrate the required super resolution. Disadvantages of the proposed models and possible ways to solve them are discussed.
Effect of Heat Treatment on Sliding Wear Resistance of Hybrid Aluminum Matrix Composite
Authors: NAVEED MOHAMMED
Published: April 2023

Composite materials with aluminum as matrix material have a wider amplitude of large-scale applications in engineering. Some salient features of aluminum matrix composites are, low density, low thermal coefficient of performance and low weight and high strength. Among the various series of aluminum alloy, Al6061 have been widely used by researchers due to its outstanding properties particularly as they are heat treatable. Aluminum 6061 alloys have been reinforced with various particulate reinforcements such as silicon carbide, and graphite to study their friction and wear resistance properties. Adding silicon carbide particulate reinforcement improves the sliding wear resistance of composite material. However, it makes the material brittle and hard resulting in machining difficulties and rough surface finish. On the other hand, it has been found from the literature survey that the addition of graphite particulate reinforcement increases ductility and sliding wear resistance. In this context, the present article focuses on developing hybrid aluminum matrix composites by incorporating both graphite and silicon carbide. Heat treatment has been carried out to further enhance the wear resistance and strength of the composites. Vortex-stir casting was successfully utilized to fabricate Al6061-SiC-Gr hybrid composites. There was excellent bonding between the matrix and reinforcement materials as revealed by the microstructure study. The sliding wear resistance of the Al6061-SiC composite was higher than the base matrix material. Heat treatment increases the sliding wear resistance of the composite. Ice quenching results in maximum improvement. Increased content of graphite increases the sliding wear resistance of Al6061-SiC composite. Further heat treatment increases the sliding wear resistance of the hybrid composites with ice quenching resulting in maximum improvement.
Developing a Digital Medication Adherence Intervention for and With Patients With Asthma and Low Health Literacy: Protocol for a Participatory Design Approach
Authors: Faber Jasper S , Poot Charlotte C , Dekkers Tessa , Romero Herrera Natalia , Chavannes Niels H , Meijer Eline , Visch V T
Published: April 2023

Background

Current eHealth interventions are poorly adopted by people with low health literacy (LHL) as they often fail to meet their needs, skills, and preferences. A major reason for this poor adoption is the generic, one-size-fits-all approach taken by designers of these interventions, without addressing the needs, skills, and preferences of disadvantaged groups. Participatory design approaches are effective for developing interventions that fit the needs of specific target groups; yet, very little is known about the practical implications of executing a participatory design project for and with people with LHL.

Objective

This study aimed to demonstrate the application of participatory design activities specifically selected to fit the needs and skills of people with LHL and how these were manifested within an overarching eHealth design process. In addition, the study aims to present reflections and implications of these activities that could support future designers to engage people with LHL in their design processes.

Methods

We used the design process of a smart asthma inhaler for people with asthma and LHL to demonstrate participatory design activities. The study was framed under 5 stages of design thinking: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test within 2 major iteration cycles. We integrated 3 participatory design activities deemed specifically appropriate for people with LHL: co-constructing stories, experience prototype exhibition, and video prototype evaluation.

Results

Co-constructing stories was found to deepen the understanding of the participant’s motivation to use or not to use maintenance medication. This understanding informed and facilitated the subsequent development of diverse preliminary prototypes of possible interventions. Discussing these prototypes in the experience prototype exhibition helped provoke reactions, thoughts, and feelings about the interventions, and potential scenarios of use. Through the video prototype evaluation, we were able to clearly communicate the goal and functionality of the final version of our intervention and gather appropriate responses from our participants.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates a participatory design approach for and with patients with asthma and LHL. We demonstrated that careful consideration and selection of activities can result in participants that are engaged and feel understood. This paper provides insight into the practical implications of participatory activities with people with LHL and supports and inspires future designers to engage with this disadvantaged target group.
Engagement With Tailored Physical Activity Content: Secondary Findings From the Families Improving Together for Weight Loss Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Sweeney Allison M , Wilson Dawn K , Resnicow Kenneth , Van Horn M Lee , Kitzman Heather
Published: April 2023

Background

Web-based tailored interventions offer rich opportunities for improved access to and personalization of behavioral interventions. However, despite the promise of this approach, the engagement and underrepresentation of minority groups remain major issues.

Objective

This study evaluated whether engagement (log-in status and log-in duration) with different types of tailored behavioral content from the Families Improving Together for weight loss web-based intervention was associated with changes in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among African American families with overweight or obesity.

Methods

Parent-adolescent dyads were randomized to a web-based tailored intervention or web-based health education comparison program. The web-based intervention (N=119) was completed by parents and targeted 6 weight-related behaviors to support their adolescent children’s weight loss goals (session contents included energy balance, fast food, fruits and vegetables, physical activity [PA], sedentary behavior, and sweetened beverages). MVPA was measured using accelerometers at baseline and after the intervention.

Results

Using a hierarchical approach, the log-in status and duration for each web-based session were used to evaluate the additive effects of engagement with different types of tailored behavioral content on MVPA after the web-based intervention. Among parents, logging in to the PA session was not associated with greater MVPA (B=−12.561, 95% CI −18.759 to −6.367), but MVPA increased with greater log-in duration for the PA (B=0.008, 95% CI 0.004-0.012) and sedentary behavior (B= 0.008, 95% CI 0.004-0.012) sessions. These results suggest that parents who logged in to the PA session had lower MVPA, but MVPA increased with greater log-in duration for the PA and sedentary behavior sessions. These associations remained even after accounting for engagement with other content sessions. However, these engagement effects did not translate to the adolescents.

Conclusions

The results of this study highlight the need to disentangle the impact of engagement with different tailored content to improve the efficacy of tailored web-based interventions, especially for promoting PA in African American families.

Authors: Sjöström Anna E , Hajdarevic Senada , Hörnsten Åsa , Kristjánsdóttir Ólöf , Castor Charlotte , Isaksson Ulf
Published: April 2023

Background

With the increasing digitalization in health care, an effective instrument is necessary to assess health care consumers’ digital competencies—their “eHealth literacy.” The 7-scale eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ), based on the theoretically robust eHealth Literacy Framework, has shown strong psychometric properties in Denmark and Australia.

Objective

The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the eHLQ.

Methods

We followed the Translation Integrity Procedure guidelines to translate and culturally adapt the questionnaire to Swedish using forward and backward translations, review by an expert panel, and cognitive interviewing. The psychometric properties of the Swedish eHLQ were investigated by evaluating its internal consistency (Cronbach α) and a priori–defined factor structure (confirmatory factor analysis).

Results

A total of 236 primary health care patients and parents of hospitalized children were included in the validation analysis. The mean age was 48.5 years, and 129 (55%) were women. All 7 eHLQ scales showed good internal consistency, with the Cronbach α ranging from .82 to .92. Single-factor and 7-factor confirmatory factor analysis showed satisfactory model-fit values. With one exception, all items demonstrated satisfactory loadings on their respective factors.

Conclusions

The Swedish eHLQ demonstrated strong psychometric properties. It has the potential as a useful tool for a variety of purposes, including population surveys, intervention evaluations, and eHealth service implementations.

Published: April 2023

El cambio climático y sus consecuencias se han ido materializando de forma cada vez más evidente en la vida diaria del ser humano, sin embargo, otros seres vivos, como los insectos, también están siendo seriamente afectados. Los efectos causados por el cambio climático, como el aumento de la temperatura atmosférica y oceánica, influyen directamente en la dinámica de sus poblaciones, su tasa de reproducción y su propia existencia. Estas alteraciones inician una reacción en cadena que pueden devastar poblaciones completas de otros seres vivos. La quinta montaña más alta de México, La Malinche, con el aumento desmedido del escarabajo descortezador (Dendroctonus mexicanus) es un ejemplo de dicha problemática.

Published: April 2023

Introducción: El enfoque de la salud basado en los derechos humanos (ESBDH) en la educación médica exige una formación eficiente y en condiciones favorables para la formación de médicos, sin embargo, se han documentado quejas por errores médicos en donde se involucra a estudiantes de medicina, afectando la protección del derecho a la salud en usuarios y médicos en formación.

Objetivo: Identificar los factores atribuibles a la ocurrencia de errores médicos (diagnóstico-terapéuticos) auto percibidos por falta de supervisión académica o falta de competencias clínicas en residentes médicos, adscritos a unidades hospitalarias del estado de Veracruz, México.

Método: Se utilizaron datos generados por el Observatorio de Educación Médica y Derechos Humanos (OBEME) de la Universidad Veracruzana, considerando los derechos a la educación, a la salud y al trabajo de residentes médicos de especialidad clínica del ciclo académico 2019-2020. Se desarrolló un estudio epidemiológico de prevalencias analítico y se estimó la tasa de error médico (TEM).

Resultados: Se determinaron factores asociados en la ocurrencia e incremento de la TEM en 764 médicos residentes: la falta de supervisión de las actividades, número de horas semanales trabajadas, tipo de adscripción hospitalaria, tipo de especialidad y edad. Las condiciones del derecho al trabajo digno incrementaron el riesgo en hasta siete veces cuando tomaron decisiones médicas sin supervisión, así como el incremento de riesgo ante un trato discriminatorio. El error médico se presenta de manera diferenciada para hombres y mujeres en algunos de los factores analizados.

Conclusiones: El error médico disminuye cuando es mayor la garantía del respeto a los derechos analizados. Con base en el ESBDH se establece que, para disminuir el error médico cometido por médicos residentes, es fundamental respetar sus derechos. Finalmente, se sugiere la incorporación de la perspectiva de género en el análisis e intervención para mejoras de la educación médica.

Carcinoma mucinoso de mama: una estirpe histológica rara de pronóstico favorable
Authors: Santiago Sanabria Leopoldo , Porras Ibarra Gina Daniela , Malfavón Farías Montserrat , Méndez Hirata Gustavo
Published: April 2023

Mucinous carcinoma is a rare type of breast cancer, which represents less than 4% of all primary cancers. It usually occurs in postmenopausal patients, around the seventh decade of life. Clinically, it is characterized by the presence of a palpable nodule, rarely accompanied by other symptoms.
Imaging tools, such as mammogram and ultrasound, are essential for its diagnosis, however, in some situations the diagnosis can be underestimated due to the similar charac¬teristics that it shares with other benign lesions. Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathology.
Regarding treatment, there is no consensus on the most appropriate, due to the low incidence of these tumors. Many authors agree that surgical intervention continues to be the best option, showing a positive impact on survival and low recurrences. This can be accompanied later by adjuvant en¬docrine therapies. Fortunately, the prognosis of this type of tumor is usually favorable, even survival exceeds 90% at 5 years. Keywords: Breast cancer; mucinous carcinoma; clinicopatho¬logical features; histological subtypes.

The circadian system is synchronized to the light-dark cycle generated by the rotation of the earth, ensuring that wake¬fulness is during the day and sleep occurs at night. However, the sleep-wake rhythm may be out of sync with the light-dark cycle or endogenously out of sync, resulting in insomnia, fatigue, and poor performance in activities of daily living. Sleep disorders are classified by the American Sleep Disorders Association, as intrinsic dyssomnias, extrinsic dyssomnias, parasomnias, or medical/psychiatric sleep disorders. Circa¬dian sleep disorders have been categorized separately to recognize that in most cases the etiology of circadian dis¬turbances is a mix of internal and environmental factors or a temporary mismatch between the two. Symptoms are usually insomnia or hypersomnia, common symptoms in patients with circadian sleep disorders although other causes can be attributed and must be excluded before a diagnosis of a circadian sleep disorder is made. In the patient without other sleep pathology, a daily record of activities, meals, exercise, naps, and bedtime is an essential tool in assessing circadian sleep disorders. These records should be kept for 2 weeks or more, as a disturbance due to job changes or travel across time zones can have effects on sleep and daytime alertness weeks after the event. Keywords: Sleep; biological rhythms; jet-lag; insomnia; light-dark cycle.

Abstract: There are billions of people in the world who have hearing and speaking impairments. According to a survey roughly 1 billion people are born with hearing and speaking problems. Such disabled or challenged people struggle a lot to communicate with normal humans. A blessing to them is Sign Language, using which they can communicate efficiently with others and can express their ideas and feelings. Sign language is a procedure in which people communicate through making gestures with their hand which are globally recognized and have standard interpretation. Sign Language can be taught to everyone, but it requires a lot of trainers and experts to train everyone personally. Since technology has a lot of reach and resources in this modern era, imbibing such Mechanisms into technology increases the reach of Sign Language Exponentially
Análisis cualitativo de sostenibilidad social de sistemas de drenaje urbano en Chile
Authors: Hidalgo-Monroy Gianina , Vasquez-Avila Sebastian , Araya Felipe
Published: April 2023

Moving towards sustainable urban development leads to applying new forms of drainage, which provide multiple technical and social benefits to the community. However, in countries like Chile, there is still a large gap regarding methodologies to assess the social sustainability of projects in this area. Using a qualitative content analysis applied to experts’ interviews (n = 11), this study aims at (1) identifying metrics to assess the social sustainability of urban drainage systems; (2) identifying challenges for the implementation of such metrics, and (3) proposing changes to the current system, to assess urban drainage systems that enhance the integration of social sustainability within these systems. The results show that experts proposed metrics that may assess social sustainability, but in practice, these metrics are difficult to quantify. In terms of challenges, the fragmentation of responsibilities from organizations that are involved in managing urban drainage systems may complicate the use of new social sustainability metrics. Ultimately, it is suggested that an institution is created that can manage urban drainage systems using an integrative approach, to account for the benefits of social sustainability of urban drainage systems. These results can be used by authorities and decision-makers who work with urban drainage systems, to move towards methodologies that consider the benefits of social sustainability.

Authors: Costantini-Romero Adriana Belen , Francisca Franco M.
Published: April 2023

Alternative materials, such as cement-stabilized earth blocks (CSEB), provide new opportunities to make environmentally friendly envelopes. Earth-based construction materials are easy to obtain, abundant in nature, and their use minimizes environmental impacts and improves the thermal performance of bricks. In this work, the thermal properties of CSEB are analyzed, to evaluate their efficiency for building envelopes. It is experimentally determined that cement percentages are between 3% and 9% for the manufacturing of CSEB for non-bearing masonry. The moisture content should be less than 20%, to avoid significant increases in thermal conductivity. Wall thermal resistivity and inner and outer thermal resistance are also determined by means of passive building thermography measurements. The different CSEB wall compositions of experimental dwellings under real use conditions were monitored during the winter, and from this, thermal transmittances were established for the walls of 1,219 W/m2K to 1.599 W/m2K The results obtained allow determining the relative efficiency of each building envelope type in avoiding heat losses.

Published: April 2023

This case report highlights the potential diagnostic pitfalls associated with subureteral transurethral injection (STING) of non-biodegradable materials like Teflon, which has been utilised for endoscopic correction of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). A 27-year-old female with a history of VUR presented with left-sided loin pain, vomiting, and dysuria, which were initially thought to be due to distal ureteric stones. However, noncontrast computed tomography (CT) revealed the presence of calcific densities in the region of the distal ureter and vesicoureteric junction (VUJ) bilaterally, likely as a sequelae of previous Teflon injection treatment. A conservative management approach was undertaken, and follow-up evaluations, including MAG3 renograms, showed normal drainage and stable split renal function. This case emphasises the importance of a comprehensive medical history and vigilance in avoiding unnecessary imaging or surgical interventions for patients with a previous history of STING.

Its achievements, creativity and efficiency are most important during his tenure (industrialization of the national economy, Victory in the Great Patriotic War, post-war restoration of the country's economy). Hence the ambiguous, contradictory attitude towards this model. Some consider it the only possible form of organization and management of socio-economic processes in the most difficult extreme conditions of the USSR. Others see only negative aspects in it and believe that its use is currently impossible and simply impractical.

Cognitive Autocracy of the Object as a Theoretical Presupposition of Foundational Analyses in Epistemology: A Historical Review
Authors: Akpan Etorobong Godwin
Published: April 2023

A historical review of epistemology was carried out. The objective of the study was to demonstrate through historical data that the underlying presupposition that rules epistemological analysis is the cognitive autocracy of the object. To achieve this objective, the method of content analysis with a special focus on the traditional historical method was adopted for the study. With the application of the historical method to the data of study, it was easy to demonstrate the validity of the thesis that epistemology is bedevilled by the cognitive autocracy of the object. It was concluded that the problem associated with the presupposition could be obviated if behavioural constructivism as a new approach to epistemology could be switched for rational reductionism.
