Optimizing positive goal framing in advertising: differential consumer responses to new product categories
Authors: Niu Yixuan , Ma Baolong 
Published: July 2024

PurposeThis research delves into the nuanced effects of positive goal framing quantity in advertising on consumer reactions towards new products, categorizing them into incrementally new products (INPs) and really new products (RNPs). It moves beyond the traditional binary evaluation of advertising effectiveness, offering a more intricate analysis of consumer engagement based on product novelty.Design/methodology/approachEmploying a comprehensive dataset encompassing 461 digital video advertisements from six leading technology-centric firms, this study employs content analysis alongside hierarchical polynomial regression to dissect the dynamics between the volume of positive goal framings and consumer engagements. This examination is contextualized within the spectrum of product innovation, offering insights into the differential consumer behaviors elicited by INPs and RNPs.FindingsThe investigation uncovers a non-linear, inverted U-shaped correlation between the volume of positive goal framings and consumer responses. This relationship exhibits variability in its intensity between INPs and RNPs, with INPs demonstrating a more pronounced response variability around a higher inflection point on the curve. This pattern underscores the complex interplay between goal framing and product novelty in shaping consumer perceptions and actions.Originality/valueThis study pioneers the exploration of goal framing within the realm of product advertising, shifting the analytical lens from its traditional roots in health and medicine to the intricacies of consumer behavior in response to advertising. By introducing a distinctive classification of product newness through INPs and RNPs, the research augments current understanding of effective advertising strategies, delivering profound insights for marketers and advertisers in tailoring their campaigns to align with consumer expectations and product characteristics.

Published: July 2024

PurposeCyber-physical systems (CPS) offer improved delivery of facilities management (FM) mandates through their advanced computational capabilities. Using second-order multivariate analysis, this study explores the drivers of the espousal of this digital technology for FM.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a deductive approach underpinned by a post-positivist philosophical stance using a quantitative technique aided by a well-structured questionnaire. Data retrieved from the study’s respondents were analysed with descriptive statistics, Kruskal–Wallis h-test, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis.FindingsThe result of the analysis conducted portrayed evidence of convergence and good measures while the estimated model parameters all attained prescribed fit indexes. Also, it was revealed that the most influential drivers for the uptake of CPS for FM mandates are resource allocation for system procurement, top management willingness, system stability and compatibility with the previous system.Practical implicationsThe study’s findings unravel the necessitated parameters that would instigate the adoption of CPS for the delivery of FM activities by organisations while also propelling the digital transformation of construction project delivery at the post-occupancy phase.Originality/valueThis is the first study to empirically assess the propelling measures for incorporating CPS for FM using second-order multivariate analysis. Consequently, the study's outcome helps close this knowledge gap.
Application of an approach integrating the Kano model and the fuzzy systems theory: a strategic analysis of consumer satisfaction scores
Authors: Albuquerque Andre , Becerra Claudia , Melo Fagner José Coutinho de , Medeiros Denise Dumke de 
Published: July 2024

PurposeThe aim of this research is to propose a quantitative approach to evaluating the quality of services provided, helping organizations to make strategic decisions by better understanding the characteristics that satisfy consumers.Design/methodology/approachThe approach was based on the integration of the Kano model with SERVQUAL, adapted by the satisfaction equations of Albuquerque et al. (2022) and fuzzy systems theory. Through this, it was possible to infer which attributes influence customer satisfaction, identifying the ranges of satisfaction and, with the help of fuzzy, reducing the imprecision of customer perceptions.FindingsA total of 42% of the attributes were classified as unidimensional, with attribute 11 (Reliability) and attribute 9 (Courtesy) having the highest satisfaction values. Attractive attributes accounted for 38% of the sample, with attribute 29 (Variety of products) and attribute 7 (Location) having the greatest impact on satisfaction. On the other hand, attribute 30 (Order Delay) and attribute 31 (Waiting for payment) caused more dissatisfaction among consumers (ranges −0.6, −0.71, respectively). In addition, Variety of products was the most satisfactory, while Order Delay generated the most dissatisfaction among users.Originality/valueThe originality of this research lies in its contribution to organizations in relation to the services offered by investigating a gap in the studies that use the Kano model, integrated with SERVQUAL, which do not include reverse attributes in their equations and analyses. With the help of fuzzy sets, the subjectivity of the individual can be translated into data for greater clarity of information.
Study on interior beam–column joint sub-assemblage under bi-directional loading using finite element analysis
Authors: Nagargoje Shashikant Mahadev , Mahajan Milinda Ashok 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to study the shearing performance under bi-directional loading of an interior beam–column joint (BCJ) sub-assemblage using the finite element analysis (FEA) tool (midas fea), validated in this research.

Design/methodology/approach
The BCJ can be defined as an essential part of the column that transfers the forces at the ends of the members connected to it. The members of the rigid jointed plane frame resist external forces by developing twisting moment, bending moment, axial force and shear force in the frame members. On the type of joints, the response to the action of lateral loads depends on reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures. The joint is considered rigid if the angle between the members remains unchanged during the structural deformation. This work examined the shear deformation, load displacement and strength of a non-seismically detailed internal concentric RC joint using non-linear FEA. The bi-directional loading imposes the oblique compression zone on one joint corner. This joint core’s oblique compression strut mechanism differs significantly from that under unidirectional loading. The numerical results are compared with experimental results in this study, with the data published in the literature.

Findings
Numerical analysis results show that, in the comparative study of numerical and experimental values, the FEA tool predicts the behaviour of the RC BCJ well. The discrepancy between the experimental and numerical results amounts to 6 to 12% end displacement of the beam, 7% resultant joint shear force, 4.23% column bar strain and 0.70% hoop strain.

Originality/value
The current code of practice describes the joint sub-assemblage behaviour along the single axis individually. In the non-orthogonal system, the superposition of the two axes for joint space results in overlapping the stresses and, hence, the formation of the oblique strut. This may result in a reduction in the joint capacity under bi-directional loading. The behaviour must be explored in depth, and an attempt is made for further exploration.

Published: July 2024

AbstractSelective breeding over centuries has led to the emergence of numerous pigeon breeds from the single species Columba livia, showcasing unparalleled phenotypic diversity. In Eastern Turkey, Van pigeons originate, while Tumbler pigeon varieties thrive countrywide, reflecting local traditions. The avian beak, vital for survival, offers insights into domestication and traits influenced by natural selection. Geometric morphometrics, a shape analysis method, allows for a comprehensive examination of beak shapes among domestic pigeons, providing a nuanced understanding of their complexity. Understanding beak diversity in pigeons, especially those found in Turkey, enhances our knowledge of avian evolution and adaptation processes. The study utilized 48 skulls from 4 pigeon breeds, including wild rock pigeons and domestic pigeons of Tumbler, Mardin and Van breeds, all free from pathological lesions and adults. Geometric morphometric analyses of beak shape were conducted using dorsal and lateral photographs, with landmarks placed using tpsDig software. MorphoJ software facilitated procrustes analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) to assess morphological variability and differentiate pigeon breeds based on shape patterns, with significance set at p < 0.05. PCA revealed significant shape variations among pigeon breeds, with 47 principal components identified for lateral beak views and 36 principal components for dorsal views. Canonical variates analysis further distinguished morphological patterns among breeds, indicating distinct shape variations in both dorsal and lateral views, elucidating the unique characteristics of each breed's beak morphology. Our results demonstrate statistically significant differences in pigeon beak shape, particularly in the lateral view, confirming the importance of these variations (p < 0.05) and suggesting that such differences occur less than 5% of the time under the null hypothesis.
Bending the Iron Law: The distribution of power within political parties
Authors: Invernizzi Giovanna M. , Prato Carlo 
Published: July 2024

AbstractHow do political parties share power internally? We study the internal organization of political parties as the solution of a moral hazard problem between a party conference and its factions. Factions' mobilization efforts benefit the party electorally, but can only be imperfectly monitored. In contrast with the logic of Michel's Iron Law, we provide a functionalist rationale for intraparty power sharing: We show that internal power sharing can enhance a party's electoral performance. This effect is stronger in settings that award more resources to election winners: Low interparty power sharing produces high intraparty power sharing. We also show that intraparty power sharing should be more frequent within smaller parties, when monitoring of factional effort is more precise (e.g., preferential voting systems), and when factions' ideological disagreements span multiple dimensions.

Published: July 2024

AbstractObjectiveAcute Charcot neuro‐osteoarthropathy (CN) is highly destructive, causing bone and joint damage that can result in devastating structural changes to the foot. The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of assessment, diagnosis and management of people with acute CN attending a large regional Australian health service.DesignThree‐year retrospective medical record audit.SettingLarge regional health service with catchment area of >250 000 people in regional Australia.ParticipantsPeople with acute CN who attended emergency, orthopaedic clinics or High Risk Foot Clinic (HRFC).Main Outcome MeasuresParticipant characteristics and acute CN assessment, diagnosis and management characteristics. Trends in characteristics were investigated according to rurality as measured by the Modified Monash Model (MMM) scale.ResultsSeventeen participants (20 presentations) of acute CN were identified. Mean age was 57.1 ± 10.8 years, with 11 female participants. Median duration to seek help was 31 (IQR 14–47) days. Total Contact Casting was undertaken for 85% of cases, with those who resided in MMM1‐2 regions experienced significantly shorter time to TCC therapy compared to those residing in MMM3‐7 regions (U = 3.0, p < 0.01). Resolution of acute CN with or without deformity occurred in 70% of cases.ConclusionsThose who lived in smaller regional and rural communities were more likely to experience delayed access to gold standard treatment for acute CN. Regional models of care for acute CN should include activities to improve the knowledge of people at risk of acute CN about the condition and upskill regional health professionals for timely and local TCC therapy.

Published: July 2024

SummaryIn this study, the role of germination times and malt production preliminary stages on the bioactive and phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of barley grains was investigated. Antioxidant activity values of barley, soaked barley and dried barley have been reported between 5.00 mmol/kg (barley) and 6.65 mmol/kg (sokaed barley). The total phenol and flavonoid quantities of the barley, soaked barley and dried barley samples were recorded to be between 58.49 (dried barley) and 69.10 mgGAE/100 g (soaked barley) to 145.22 (dried barley) and 157.75 mgQE/100 g (soaked barley), respectively. The total phenol content of green malt and dried‐roasted malt were recorded to be between 115.85 (3rd day) and 237.80 mgGAE/100 g (7th day) to 111.83 (3rd day) and 346.04 mg GAE/100 g (7th day), respectively. While catechin amounts of barley samples are registrated between 5.83 (dried barley) and 10.29 mg/100 g (soaked barley), catechin amounts of green and dried‐roasted malt samples were identified between 5.20 (malt for 3rd day) and 56.42 mg/100 g (malt for 7th day). In general, an increase in the phenolic components of green and dried‐roasted malt samples was observed with germination.
Intensive agriculture increases fluctuating asymmetry of dorsal head shape in Iberian asp viper populations
Authors: Buldain J. , Kaliontzopoulou A. , Zuazo Ó. , Martínez‐Freiría F. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractHabitats resulting from agricultural intensification harbour a wide array of stressors for resident organisms. Environmental stress during development can leave imprints on the phenotype that are useful as indicators of its impairment. Among them, fluctuating asymmetry (FA), considered the morphological manifestation of developmental instability (DI), may reflect the increment of developmental noise and the inefficiency of buffering mechanisms. Here, we evaluated for the first time the impact of intensive agriculture on the development of a viviparous reptile, the asp viper, Vipera aspis (Linnaeus 1758), by means of FA. To this end, we first quantified unsigned asymmetry indexes (uAI) of dorsal head shape captured by geometric morphometrics (GM) and of seven pholidotic traits in 127 and 482 individuals, respectively. Using linear models, we then tested for variation in uAI according to habitat type. Furthermore, we tested the effect of climatic variables with a potential influence on development, and thus, on FA. We performed analyses at the V. aspis zinnikeri subspecies range and at the population level, including three well‐sampled natural localities (NAT) and three sites of intensive agriculture (AGR). We found significantly higher FA levels in dorsal head shape in individuals from agricultural habitats than in those from natural habitats, which suggests that asp viper development is impaired by stressors resulting from agricultural intensification. Our results also point to a lower sensitivity of traditional morphological tools to capture the signal that intensive agriculture leaves on development and a lack of capacity of climatic factors in isolation to predict variation in the degree of asymmetry. In addition to encouraging the use of high‐precision methods, we hypothesize on the overall effect of different stressors linked to intensive agriculture as the real constraint.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe aim of this mixed‐methods study was to examine the experiences of nursing students (NSs), nurses, and patients regarding the clinical practices of NSs and to determine NSs' stress levels regarding clinical practices. The quantitative part of the study was completed with 240 NSs, and the “Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students” was used. In the qualitative part, the focus group interviews were held with 24 NSs, and the individual interviews were conducted with 15 patients and 20 nurses. Descriptive and stepwise regression analyses were used to analyze quantitative data, and narrative analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. Regression analysis determined that the age, grade point average, and attitude of mentors were associated with the perceived stress levels of NSs. In the narrative analysis of the data obtained from the interviews with NSs and nurses, four categories were identified: Emotions, Facilitators, Barriers, Roles, and Competencies. Three categories (Emotions, Problems, Roles, and Competencies) were identified from patient interviews. This study showed that NSs' clinical practice experiences were affected by many factors and experienced high stress during clinical practice.
The effect of lens and fitting characteristics upon scleral lens centration
Authors: Fisher Damien , Collins Michael J. , Vincent Stephen J. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractPurposeTo quantify the impact of varying central fluid reservoir depth, lens thickness/mass and the addition of a peripheral fenestration upon scleral lens centration.MethodsTen young, healthy adults participated in a series of repeated‐measures experiments involving short‐term (90 min) open eye scleral lens wear. Scleral lens parameters (material, back optic zone radius, diameter, back vertex power and landing zone) were controlled across all experiments, and the central fluid reservoir depth (ranging from 144 to 726 μm), lens thickness (ranging from 150 to 1200 μm), lens mass (101–241 mg) and lens design (with or without a single 0.3 mm peripheral fenestration) were altered systematically. Scleral lens decentration was quantified using over‐topography maps.ResultsOn average, scleral lens centration varied by <0.10 mm over 90 min of wear. Medium and high initial fluid reservoir conditions resulted in 0.17 mm more temporal and 0.55 mm more inferior lens decentration, compared to the low fluid reservoir depth (p < 0.001). Changes in lens thickness or the addition of a peripheral fenestration did not cause clinically significant changes in centration (<0.10 mm on average) when controlling for fluid reservoir depth. Central fluid reservoir depth was the best predictor of horizontal and vertical lens decentration, explaining 62–73% of the observed variation, compared to 40–44% for lens thickness and mass.ConclusionScleral lens decentration remained relatively stable over 90 min of lens wear. A greater initial central fluid reservoir depth resulted in significantly more lens decentration, particularly inferiorly. Large variations in lens thickness, mass or the addition of a single peripheral fenestration did not substantially affect lens centration.
