The influence of consumer confusion on the repurchase intentions of hotel guests: the role of brand loyalty and customer satisfaction
Authors: Baykal Muhammed , Yazıcı Ayyıldız Ahu , Koc Erdogan 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the influence of customer satisfaction and brand loyalty on hotel guests’ repurchase intentions when they experience consumer confusion.

Design/methodology/approach
A quantitative research method was used in the study and the data were collected through a survey. A survey was used to collect data from 406 hotel guests staying at four and five-star hotels. The structural equation model was used to test the influence of consumer confusion on hotel guests’ repurchase intentions.

Findings
The findings of the study show that while consumer confusion has a negative effect on hotel guests’ repurchase intentions, customer satisfaction and brand loyalty have a positive influence on their repurchase intentions. Customer satisfaction and brand loyalty tend to have a partial mediating role in the relationship between consumer confusion and repurchase intention.

Practical implications
The findings show the need for the hotel management to provide simple, concise, yet sufficient information enabling tourists to differentiate their offerings to reduce confusion.

Originality/value
Previous research has largely neglected the role of guests’ loyalty and satisfaction with the hotel brand. This research shows that guests’ loyalty and satisfaction with the hotel brand play an important role in terms of the repurchase intention and in reducing confusion.
The role of telemedicine during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic: shaping our future health organisations and practices
Authors: Sebai Jihane , Leslie Wendy , Lichy Jessica 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
In France, telemedicine was integrated into the Code of Public Health in 2009, but adoption and use were slow until the beginning of the COVID-19 health crisis, when telemedicine arguably became the only way to ensure continuity of care for non-COVID patients, reduce viral transmission and streamline strained medical resources. Despite growing enthusiasm, criticism persists.

Design/methodology/approach
User satisfaction will be essential for the sustainability and development of telemedicine, yet this remains an under-researched area. Framed by the first lockdown in France (March–May 2020), this two-step mixed-methods study uses secondary quantitative data (n users = 2,511; n doctors = 254; n nurses = 248) and primary qualitative interviews (n = 5) among healthcare professionals and patients in France to analyse satisfaction levels among telemedicine users. Implementing an inductive approach, it identifies key themes in the adoption and use of telemedicine, the impact on user satisfaction and evolution in perceptions over time.

Findings
The findings contribute to the literature by identifying and explaining the shift in telemedicine practices and offering recommendations for addressing ongoing obstacles through pragmatic strategies.

Originality/value
This research addresses a gap in knowledge to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the uptake, perception and satisfaction of telemedicine experienced by users. Recognising telemedicine as a complex innovation in conceptual and practical terms, this paper investigates the degree of acceptance among users and the process of assimilation in the system.

Sustainable financial inclusion in Nigeria: a need to go beyond access to impact
Authors: Udohaya Nse , Fifield Suzanne G.M. 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to evaluate the processes and strategies of Nigerian banks towards achieving financial inclusion and offer recommendations for policies that can lead to effective and sustainable financial inclusion.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper conducts semi-structured interviews with senior executives of Nigerian banks to investigate their financial inclusion policies and practices.

Findings
This paper highlighted Nigerian banks’ views on dimensions that measure financial inclusion and found that they recognise that they play a pivotal role in providing access to formal financial services; however, their efforts to promote financial inclusion are provider-focused rather than customer-focused; they are keen to promote financial services usage; however, very little attention is paid to customer outcomes; financial inclusion is viewed as synonymous with access and innovations are not aiming for impact; and the sector is plagued with infrastructural challenges that breach service quality.

Originality/value
This paper reports on the practices of Nigerian banks towards financial inclusion and provides recommendations for rethinking sustainable financial inclusion. To date, this issue has not been investigated in the substantive literature. Nigeria is an ideal research site for examining financial inclusion. In recent years, the banking sector has made rapid strides in implementing policies to promote the adoption and usage of formal financial services. However, over half of the country’s adult population remains outside the formal financial system.
The dark side of customer experiences in fast-food industry: exploring the intersection of physical environment, emotions and customer retention
Authors: Samsa Caglar 
Published: July 2024

PurposeThis study examines the impact of physical environmental factors on customer retention in fast-food restaurants/cafeterias. Furthermore, this study examines the mediating effect of customers’ positive emotions on this relationship.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the stimulus-organism-response model developed by Mehrabian and Russell (1974) is applied within the context of the fast-food restaurant/cafeteria industry. Data were collected from a sample of 250 consumers who have patronized establishments within this industry. The assessment model entailed employing the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach, which involved a two-stage procedure: measurement model and structural model evaluation.FindingsThe study’s results underscore the key role of customer positive emotions in influencing customer retention. Notably, physical environmental factors, encompassing elements like table setting, layout, and service staff, emerge as significant determinants in shaping these positive emotions. Furthermore, the findings indicate that these physical environmental factors exert a direct influence on customer retention, with customer positive emotions acting as mediator role in the relationship between these factors and retention.Originality/valueThis study is the first to use physical environment, customer emotions and customer retention variables together in the fast food restaurant/cafeteria industry.
Ignoring within‐flower self‐fertilization and inbreeding depression biases estimates of selection on floral traits in a perennial alpine herb
Authors: Chen Kai‐Hsiu , Pannell John R. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Within‐flower self‐pollination should be the major source of self‐fertilization in mixed‐mating species that present single or few flowers simultaneously. It is also an often unmeasured source of selfing in species with many flowers open simultaneously. In self‐compatible species in which pistil and stamen numbers vary, the rate of within‐flower selfing should depend on the number of pistils and stamens, the timing of flowering and the morphology of subsidiary floral traits. The intensity and direction of selection on these traits should thus also depend on the level of inbreeding depression.

Here, we measured the dependence of the within‐flower selfing rate on floral sex allocation, phenology, petal length and floral stalk height in a population of the perennial herb Pulsatilla alpina (Ranunculaceae) in which most individuals had single flowers. We estimated inbreeding depression in the population by comparing inbreeding coefficients between parents and seed progeny using microsatellite markers. We then estimated selection on the measured traits via female reproductive success at the flower level and compared our estimates with a hypothetical scenario in which inbreeding depression was assumed to be absent.

Inbreeding depression was estimated to be severe (0.95). The within‐flower selfing rate varied widely among flowers and depended positively on stamen number and negatively on pistil number and flowering date, supporting the predictions of a mass‐action model. The dependence of the selfing rate on the measured floral traits consistently predicted (non‐linear) patterns of selection under high inbreeding depression that were distinct from those under a hypothetical scenario of no inbreeding depression.

Synthesis. While previous research has emphasized the importance of mass‐action mating on selfing among flowers of plants with large floral displays, our results demonstrate its importance for selfing within individual flowers. They also demonstrate the importance of accounting for both the selfing rate and inbreeding depression when inferring selection on floral and other traits via female fitness.
A mesophilic relative of common glacier algae, Ancylonema palustre sp. nov., provides insights into the induction of vacuolar pigments in zygnematophytes

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe green algae of the genus Ancylonema, which belong to the zygnematophytes, are prevalent colonizers of glaciers worldwide. They display a striking reddish‐brown pigmentation in their natural environment, due to vacuolar compounds related to gallic acid. This pigmentation causes glacier darkening when these algae bloom, leading to increased melting rates. The Ancylonema species known so far are true psychrophiles, which hinders experimental work and limits our understanding of these algae. For instance, the biosynthesis, triggering factors, and biological function of Ancylonema's secondary pigments remain unknown. In this study, we introduce a mesophilic Ancylonema species, A. palustre sp. nov., from temperate moorlands. This species forms the sister lineage to all known psychrophilic strains. Despite its morphological similarity to the latter, it exhibits unique autecological and photophysiological characteristics. It allows us to describe vegetative and sexual cellular processes in great detail. We also conducted experimental tests for abiotic factors that induce the secondary pigments of zygnematophytes. We found that low nutrient conditions combined with ultraviolet B radiation result in vacuolar pigmentation, suggesting a sunscreen function. Our thriving, bacteria‐free cultures of Ancylonema palustre will enable comparative genomic studies of mesophilic and extremophilic zygnematophytes. These studies may provide insights into how Ancylonema species colonized the world's glaciers.
Microdiversity in marine pelagic ammonia‐oxidizing archaeal populations in a Mediterranean long‐read metagenome
Authors: Suárez‐Moo Pablo , Haro‐Moreno Jose M. , Rodriguez‐Valera Francisco 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe knowledge of the different population‐level processes operating within a species, and the genetic variability of the individual prokaryotic genomes, is key to understanding the adaptability of microbial populations. Here, we characterized the flexible genome of ammonia‐oxidizing archaeal (AOA) populations using a metagenomic recruitment approach and long‐read (PacBio HiFi) metagenomic sequencing. In the lower photic zone of the western Mediterranean Sea (75 m deep), the genomes Nitrosopelagicus brevis CN25 and Nitrosopumilus catalinensis SPOT1 had the highest recruitment values among available complete AOA genomes. They were used to analyse the diversity of flexible genes (variable from strain to strain) by examining the long‐reads located within the flexible genomic islands (fGIs) identified by their under‐recruitment. Both AOA genomes had a large fGI involved in the glycosylation of exposed structures, highly variable, and rich in glycosyltransferases. N. brevis had two fGIs related to the transport of phosphorus and ammonium respectively. N. catalinensis had fGIs involved in phosphorus transportation and metal uptake. A fGI5 previously reported as ‘unassigned function’ in N. brevis could be associated with defense. These findings demonstrate that the microdiversity of marine microbe populations, including AOA, can be effectively characterized using an approach that incorporates third‐generation sequencing metagenomics.
Genesis of LCT Pegmatites during Early Paleozoic Orogeny of the North Qinling Orogenic Belt, China: Emplacement Conditions and Structural Control

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe Guanpo pegmatite field in the North Qinling orogenic belt (NQB), China, hosts the most abundant LCT pegmatites. However, their emplacement conditions and structural control remain unexplored. In this contribution, we investigated it combining pegmatite orientation measurement with oxygen isotope geothermometry and fluid inclusion study. The orientations of type A1 pegmatites (Pf < σ2) are predominantly influenced by P‐ and T‐fractures due to simple shearing in Shiziping dextral thrust shear zone during D2 deformation, whereas type A2 pegmatites (contemporaneous with D4) are governed by hydraulic fractures aligned with S0 and S0+1 stemming from fluid pressure (Pf <σ2). Additionally, type B pegmatites (Pf ≤ σ2) exhibit orientations shaped by en echelon extensional fractures in local ductile shear zones (contemporaneous with D3). The albite‐quartz oxygen isotope geothermometry and microthermometric analysis of fluid inclusions in elbaites from the latest pegmatites (including types B and A2) suggest that the crystallization P‐T for late magmatic and hydrothermal stages are 527.5–559.2°C, 320°C, 3.1–3.6 kbar and 2.0 kbar, respectively. Our observations along with previous studies suggest that the genesis of the LCT pegmatites was a long‐term, multi‐stage event during early Paleozoic orogeny (including the collision stage) of the NQB, and was facilitated by various local fractures.
Genesis of the Jianbeigou Gold Deposit on the Southern Margin of the North China Craton: Insights from Fluid Inclusions, H‐O‐S Isotopes, and Pyrite in situ Trace Element Analyses

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe Jianbeigou gold deposit is a typical lode gold deposit in the Qinling metallogenic belt, located on the southern margin of the North China Craton. Three stages of the hydrothermal process can be distinguished, including the quartz ± pyrite, quartz‐polymetallic sulfide, and quartz‐carbonate ± pyrite stages. From the early to late stages, the homogenization temperatures of primary fluid inclusions are 281–362°C, 227–331°C, and 149–261°C, respectively. The corresponding salinities estimated for these fluids are 3.9–9.9 wt%, 0.4–9.4 wt%, and 0.7–7.2 wt% NaCl equiv. Combined with laser Raman spectroscopy data, the ore‐forming fluid belongs to a H2O‐CO2‐NaCl ± CH4 system with medium–low temperature and salinity. The δ18Ofluid and δD values for the quartz veins are –1.0‰ to 6.0‰ and –105‰ to –84‰, respectively, which indicates that the ore‐forming fluid is of mixed source, mainly derived from magma, with a contribution from meteoric water. Pyrite has been identified into three generations based on mineral paragenetic sequencing, including Py1, Py2, and Py3. The pyrites have δ34S sulfur isotopic compositions from three stages between 3.7‰ and 8.4‰, indicating that sulfur mainly originated from magma. Te, Bi, Sb, and Cu contents in pyrite were all high and showed a strong correlation with Au concentrations. Native gold and the Au‐Ag‐Bi telluride minerals were formed concurrently, and the As concentration was low and decoupled from the Au content. Therefore, Te, Bi, Sb and other low‐melting point chalcophile elements play an important role for gold mineralization in arsenic‐deficient ore‐forming fluid. Combined with the geological setting, evolution of pyrite, and ore‐fluids geochemistry, we propose that the Jianbeigou deposit can be classified as a magmatic–hydrothermal lode gold deposit. Gold mineralization on the southern margin of the North China Craton is related to Early Cretaceous magmatism and formed in an extensional setting.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe reconstruction of paleo‐elevation serves a dual purpose to enhance our comprehension of geodynamic processes affecting terrestrial landforms and to contribute significantly to the interpretation of atmospheric circulation and biodiversity. The oxygen (δ18Ow) and deuterium (δDw) isotopes in atmospheric precipitation are systematically depleted with the increase of altitude, which are typical and widely applicated paleo‐altimeters. The utilization of hydrogen isotope of hydrous silicate minerals within the shear zone system, volcanic glass, and plant leaf wax alkanes offers valuable insights for addressing evaporation and diagenesis. In this paper, we review the principle, application conditions, and influencing factors of the hydrogen isotope paleo‐altimeter. In addition, we discuss the feasibility of utilizing this technique for quantitatively estimating the paleo‐elevation of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, where multiple shear zones extend over hundred kilometers parallel to the topographic gradient.

Published: July 2024

AbstractPurposeThis study aimed to determine the clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis (ND) of “spiritual distress (00066)” and the sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio, and predictive value in parents of children with chronic diseases.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted using the clinical diagnostic validity method proposed by Fehring. The data were collected through structured interviews and using a researcher‐made list that included 5 parts of demographic information, parents’ opinions about spiritual distress, the researcher's diagnosis, 74 defining characteristics (DCs) of the ND of spiritual distress, and the Spiritual Well‐being Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio, and predictive value.FindingsThe prevalence of diagnosis was 70% in a sample of 120 parents. Out of the 74 DCs, 39 criteria were validated. Questioning meaning of illness and suffering had the highest sensitivity (98.8%), the highest negative predictive value (88.88%), and the lowest negative likelihood ratio (0.05%). Expressing the lack of meaning in life demonstrated the highest specificity (97.22%), the highest positive predictive value (98.33%), and the highest positive likelihood ratio (25.26%).ConclusionsParents who search for meaning of illness and suffering related to a lack of meaning in life are in spiritual distress. The ND was validated.Implications for nursing practiceThese findings can empower clinical nurses to confidently assess and identify patients experiencing spiritual distress, bridging the gaps caused by the absence of standardized tools for assessing spiritual distress in the inpatient setting.
Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from the cattle sector: Land‐use regulation as an alternative to emissions pricing
Authors: Gérard Maxence , De Cara Stéphane , Meunier Guy 
Published: July 2024

AbstractReducing animal‐based food production would not only reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions but also free land that could sequester carbon. We examine the efficiency of a subsidy to cattle farmers for setting aside land for natural ecosystem regeneration. We develop a partial equilibrium model of the cattle sector that integrates land use, greenhouse gas emissions, and animal feeding. We compare the subsidy to alternative policies: a meat tax and a standard on animal feeding. We identify the conditions under which the subsidy is the best alternative to these other second‐best policies. The efficiency of the subsidy lies in its effects on both the extensive margin (reduced quantity of meat) and the intensive margin (production intensification, which reduces both the emission and land‐use intensities of meat). An empirical application to France, where spontaneous regeneration corresponds mostly to forest regrowth, shows that the subsidy dominates the other alternative policies considered for a wide range of parameter values but is sensitive to carbon leakage when the economy is open to trade.
