description: Companies are increasingly employing text-based chatbots as a time and cost-efficient way to interact with customers. While companies begin to explore anthropomorphic chatbot designs by imbuing chatbots with human-like characteristics, the effectiveness of chatbot anthropomorphism remains unclear. We conducted three experiments to assess the effectiveness of chatbot anthropomorphism in customer–chatbot interactions. By equipping chatbots with human-like linguistic cues, we evoke different levels of chatbot anthropomorphism. Our results show significant positive effects of chatbot anthropomorphism on trust, purchase intention, word of mouth, and satisfaction with the shopping experience. More importantly, we identify social presence as the underlying mediating mechanism of these effects. These effects are robust and not contingent on different shopping contexts distinguished by hedonic versus utilitarian shopping motivations or the disclosure of (non-)sensitive information by customers. The present research derives managerial implications for companies that seek to effectively employ chatbots in customer interactions. Further, this study advances research on customers’ reactions towards anthropomorphized chatbots and demonstrates that social presence is a critical driver of successful customer-chatbot interactions.

description: OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the literature related to the effectiveness of parents' active involvement during painful interventions for their preterm infants. DATA SOURCES: We performed a systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE/Ovid, CINAHL, Livivio, and PsycInfo using the keywords "preterm infants," "pain," and "parents." STUDY SELECTION: Articles were eligible for inclusion if they were published between 2000 and 2021 and reported randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which preterm infants underwent painful interventions, and parents were present and actively involved in pain-reducing measures. DATA EXTRACTION: We used the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist for RCTs for data extraction. We assessed methodologic quality using critical appraisal for RCTs according to the Joanna Briggs Institute. DATA SYNTHESIS: In total, 22 articles met the inclusion criteria. These articles reported 19 studies focused on kangaroo/skin-to-skin care, one focused on breastfeeding, and two focused on facilitated tucking. The methods used to evaluate pain in the infant varied substantially. Overall, kangaroo/skin-to-skin care and facilitated tucking resulted in clinically and statistically significant decreases in pain. For breastfeeding, effectiveness was linked to a more mature sucking pattern of the preterm infant. CONCLUSION: The current evidence suggests that involving parents in pain-reducing measures during painful interventions for their preterm infants is beneficial. However, more research is needed for the different methods of involving parents in pain-reducing measures.

description: Newspapers or magazines currently often publish articles in print or online in almost identical versions, maybe just adding links to related content or a user forum online. For further enriching the original article, we investigated methods to create different types of content automatically with state-of-the-art generative language models: (1) Keynotes, (2) a summary, and (3) a content-related quiz (i.e., a question with answers). Our study is based on 2.5k German articles from the Swiss daily newspaper ”Tages-Anzeiger”. Our evaluation with a professional editor showed that content generated by ChatGPT from OpenAI outperformed traditional NLP methods as well as human-generated content.

description: In contrary to steel or concrete buildings, the performance of a timber building is significantly defined by the stiffness of the connections. The design of those connections for residual buildings has been covered quite comprehensively by COST Action FP1402, WG3 with a focus on functionality, strength, and stiffness. Comparing tall timber buildings with residual timber buildings, however, there are – higher loads (vertical and lateral). – higher necessity looking on fatigue. – more inspection and maintenance, see COST Action FP1101. – limitations regarding the design, because not all materials and construction methods (e.g., ceilings made of timber beams) are suitable. – further design criteria, such as a possible consideration of deformations from compression perpendicular to the grain, see Windeck and Blass (2022). – critical design points which are not common to consider, such as the deformation resulting from different settlements of concrete shafts and timber-constructions. – newly arising questions with an increasing size and number of reinforcements such as shown by Danzer at al. (2020), who found a reduction of the load-carrying capacity of about 65 % - 83 % due to the restraining effect with an increasing number of reinforcements and size. Those aspects open new questions regarding the durability of tall timber buildings.

Trotzdem bleibt die Quantifizierung und Berücksichtigung dieses Effektes in der Praxis eine Herausforderung. In diesem Beitrag zeigen wir Resultate und Ansätze, welche die Anwendung einer «quantitative Ingenieurbiologie» erlauben. Aufgrund einzigartiger Daten der Wurzelverstärkung verschiedener Baumarten sowie neuen Modellen zur Aufskalierung dieser Effekte auf die Bestandesebene, ist es heute möglich die Wurzelverstärkung besser in Hangstabilitätsmodelle zu implementieren. Mit dem Beispiel vom «SlideforNET»-Modell wird eine praxisnahe Anwendung zur Beurteilung der Hangstabilität präsentiert und diskutiert.

description: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to summarize an information technology (IT) initiative at Hilti Corporation that began with a local IT need and ended with the global transformation of the company’s customer service processes and infrastructures. The authors highlight 12 lessons learned from the transformation, which Hilti referred to as the Global Contact Center (GCC) program. Design/methodology/approach The authors analyze Hilti’s GCC program based on first-hand experience. Hilti applied an innovative, wave-like implementation approach that facilitated a fast roll-out, fostered peer-to-peer knowledge transfer, and helped to overcome reluctance to change. Findings The analysis of Hilti’s approach to its new customer service management reveals a number of simple, yet, critical lessons learned regarding leveraging IT-driven business value through global process transformation. Research limitations/implications The case report can help researchers to further theorize about IT-enabled process transformation. The GCC program resulted in significant improvements in the performance and quality of customer service processes and enabled transparent reporting and performance measurement on a global scale. Practical implications Overall, the GCC case provides an illustrative example of successful process transformation at the global level that also demonstrates implementation challenges. As such, the case report can help practitioners in planning and executing similar projects toward customer service excellence. Originality/value Hilti’s GCC case not only provides fresh insights into a successful process transformation. As it focusses on customer service, it also concerns an application area that has received little in the way of attention from process transformation research.

description: Background and purpose The pathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains poorly understood. Previous research has indicated possible relationships between kinematics of the spine, pelvis and lower extremities during gait and the progression of AIS, but adequate evidence on spinal kinematics is lacking. The aim of this study was to provide a detailed assessment of spinal gait kinematics in AIS patients compared to asymptomatic controls. Methods Fourteen AIS patients and 15 asymptomatic controls were included. Through introducing a previously validated enhanced trunk marker set, sagittal and frontal spinal curvature angles as well as general trunk kinematics were measured during gait using a 12-camera Vicon motion capture system. Group comparisons were conducted using T-tests and relationships between kinematic parameters and severity of scoliosis (Cobb angle) were investigated using regression analyses. Results The sagittal thoracic curvature angle in AIS patients showed on average 10.7° (4.2°, 17.3°) less kyphosis but 4.9° (2.3°, 7.6°) more range of motion (Cobb angle-dependent (R2 = 0.503)). In the frontal plane, thoracic and thoracolumbar/lumbar curvature angles indicated average lateral deviations in AIS patients. General trunk kinematics and spatio-temporal gait parameters, however, did not show any clinically relevant differences between the groups. Conclusions This demonstrates that the dynamic functionality of the scoliotic spine can be assessed using advanced non-invasive optical approaches and that these should become standard in clinical gait analysis. Furthermore, curvature angle data might be used to drive sophisticated computer simulation models in order to gain an insight into the dynamic loading behavior of the scoliotic spine during gait.

Framing and attention allocation of early-stage entrepreneurs

Year: 2024

description: Due to the uncertainty they face, entrepreneurs are often confronted with ambiguous situations in which multiple events and issues compete for their limited attention. In this study, we analyze how entrepreneurs allocate and reallocate their attention. To do so, we use longitudinal data from six entrepreneurs whom we followed for one year through monthly interviews in which we focused on critical events and issues in the past four weeks and the actions the entrepreneurs took to address them. We find that one explanation for how entrepreneurs (re)allocate their attention is framing. In particular, we find that temporal framing, especially urgency, and regulatory framing (i.e., promotive and preventative framing) shape (changes in) the depth and breadth of attention given to critical events and issues. Our goal is to develop a process model that explains entrepreneurs’ attention allocation by linking selected mechanisms of the attention-based view to framing.

Everyone everywhere: A distributed and embedded paradigm for usability

name: Nichols, David M.

Publisher: name: Wiley
Year: 2021

description: We present a new paradigm to address the persistence of difficulties that people have in accessing and using information. Our idea consists of two main aspects: engaging wider society with usability and distributing the topic across disciplines. We claim that bad usability is a social justice issue. Primarily, we propose that usability should become the subject of widespread activism across society, enabling more people to realize that their usability problems are not due to inadequacies in themselves but in current designs. People should be encouraged and enabled to complain about their experiences with an expectation of improvements. We also propose that the current restriction of this topic to certain disciplinary units is overly narrow and that instead there should be radical embedding of usability concepts across many different fields and settings. We believe that the usability of informa- tion systems is core to information science and that information scientists should resume their historic role as heralds and pioneers of human–computer interaction.

description: This study examines whether unemployment insurance benefit generosity impacts divorce, drawing on full population administrative data and a Swiss reform that reduced unemployment insurance maximum benefit duration. We assess the effect of the reform by comparing the pre- to the post-reform change in divorce rates among unemployed individuals that were affected by the reform with the change in divorce rates among a statistically balanced group of unemployed individuals that was not affected by the reform. Difference-in-differences estimates suggest that the reform caused a 2.8 percentage point increase in divorce (a 25% increase). Effects were concentrated among low-income couples (+58%) and couples with an unemployed husband (+32%) though gender differences are attributable to men’s breadwinner status. Female main breadwinners were more strongly affected (+78%) than male main breadwinners (+40%). Results confirm the “family stress model” which posits that job search and financial stress cause marital conflict. Policymakers should consider a broad array of impacts, including divorce, when considering reductions in unemployment insurance generosity.

description: This study proposes a mathematical time-dependent model to examine the humidity sorption kinetics and the storage capacity of a porous packaging polymer material (PP) containing NaCl as hygroscopic substance. Water vapour pressure gradient was chosen as the principal driving force for the transport of water vapour in the film. Solving the diffusion equation numerically by the finite element method resulted in the evolution of water vapour contents calculated inside humidity regulating film specimens. The influence of the diffusion and the sorption coefficients of the polymer, and of the thickness and the NaCl content of the film on kinetics and capacity of the humidity regulating films could be determined. By comparison of the calculated amount of absorbed water vapour with experimental data, a good agreement between the predicted tendencies of the numerical and experimental results was found. The model was validated in a region of the salt's sorption isotherm above the deliquescence point of NaCl and significantly below the humidity at which the holes in PP are completely filled with water. The results permit to develop optimized humidity regulating films for individual food requirements. Application of this model could facilitate the development of these active films using different polymers and hygroscopic substances.

In Pursuit of Time: Business Plan Sequencing, Duration and Intraentrainment Effects on New Venture Viability

description: In this study, we examine three under‐explored dimensions of the temporal relationship between formal written business plans and the achievement of new venture viability. First, we theorize and investigate the effects of plan sequencing; arguing that a business plan written early on in new venture development increases the prospects of venture viability. Second, we examine plan duration effects, and argue that there is a curvilinear relationship between spending time on a plan and achieving venture viability. Finally, we investigate plan intraentrainment effects (synchronization with other gestation activities). We theorize that if plans are synchronized with other gestation activities, venture viability is more likely. Using longitudinal data and controlling for truncation and endogeneity issues, we find that it is beneficial to plan early but that this is contingent on how long a founder spent on a plan and whether or not a plan is intraentrained with other gestation activities.

description: To gain insight into the molecular processes occurring in root nodule metabolism after stress, we used a mRNA differential display (DDRT-PCR) approach to identify cDNAs corresponding to genes whose expression is enhanced in nodules of decapitated Medicago truncatula plants. Two full-length cDNAs of plant origin were isolated (MTD1 and MTD2). Sequence analysis revealed that MTD1 is identical to an EST clone (accession number AW559774) expressed in roots of M. truncatula upon infection with Phytophthora medicaginis, while MTD2 is highly homologous to an Arabidopsis thaliana gene (accession number AL133292) coding for a RNA binding-like protein. The two mRNAs started to accumulate in root nodules at 4 h after plant decapitation and reached even higher transcript levels at 24 h from the imposition of the treatment. MTD1 and MTD2 mRNAs were mainly induced in nodules, with very little induction in roots. The abundance of the two transcripts did not change in response to other perturbations known to decrease nitrogenase activity, such as nitrate and Ar/O2 treatments. Our results suggest that MTD1 and MTD2 represent transcripts that accumulate locally in nodules and may be involved in changes in nodule metabolism in response to decapitation.

description: Objective: Our goal is to provide estimates of the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes in Europe as a basis for public health policy on tobacco taxation. Methods: We use secondary data on cigarette retail sales including illicit trade, prices, tobacco control measures and income from 2010 to 2020 of 27 European countries from Euromonitor, the WHO, the Tobacco Control Scale and the World Bank. We estimate the price elasticity of demand using instrumental variable regressions as well as panel data regressions taking into account that prices and quantities are determined simultaneously in the market. Results: Based on cross-section data at the country level, we find that during the decade from 2010 to 2020, the demand for cigarettes in Europe has become neither more nor less elastic. Our estimates of the price elasticity based on panel data are around −0.4 (95% CI −0.67 to –0.24), in line with previous estimates for high-income countries. Furthermore, our analysis shows that estimates of the price elasticity of demand that are based on data including illicit trade tend to be lower. This has also been found in the previous literature. Conclusions: By providing state-of-the-art, up-to-date estimates of the price elasticity of demand that are in line with the previous literature, we show that taxation can still be a cost-effective tobacco policy to reduce cigarette consumption and thus, the burden of smoking.

Dynamic Spectral Analysis of the Stick-Slip Effects in “Oral” Tribology Measurements

description: “Oral” tribology, associated with oral surface movement and friction, is a new tool to understand complex texture attributes such as “creamy, oily and astringent” which could not be successfully characterized by bulk texture analysis or by rheology. Smoothness, slipperiness and roughness of food boluses acting as lubricants between tongue and palate could be responsible for the sensation of those complex attributes. In fact, surface characteristics such as asperities combined with elastic and plastic deformation produce intermittent sliding motion. These so-called stick-slip effects could constitute important influencing factors of sensory perception in the mouth. It was hypothesized that the observed jagged behavior of most force-displacement curves in tribology measurements are due to stick-slip effects and depend on normal load, entertainment speed, surface roughness, lubricant type and its viscosity. Hence the influence of low versus high loads (0.57 and 2.53 N), different test velocities from 0.01 to 40 mm/s, smooth versus textured surfaces and different model systems was evaluated. Model foods such as oil-in-water emulsions, fat-free yoghurt, milk powder and nanocrystalline cellulose water suspensions were compared with sunflower oil and water as control lubricants. “Machine noise” without sample nor probe contact and “dry contact” of the stainless steel ball-on-disc geometry against a silicone elastomer sheet (PDMS, polydimethylsiloxane used by Chen et al. 2014) were also measured. Dynamic spectral analysis (Sanahuja and Briesen 2015) was applied to the force-displacement data. The extracted stick-slip magnitude-frequency distributions were divided into characteristic machine noise, typical dry contact effects and effects depending on the type of lubricant and surface roughness. The characteristic frequency bands of the stick-slip events could clarify a part of the interaction behavior of the PDMS surface with specific lubricants, mimicking the tongue sliding against the palate with food in-between. This is the first study where dynamic spectral analysis was used in “oral” tribology. The spectrograms of the stick-slip effects provide a new insight into the use of “oral” tribology in food psychophysics studies. The methodology developed in this work can be applied, in addition to friction coefficient measurements and classical Stribeck curve analysis, to food oral behavior analysis and more importantly sensory interpretation.

description: Der Artikel ist eine produktionsästhetische Untersuchung zu Einstiegsschwierigkeiten in literarische Schreibprozesse und ihre Auflösung mithilfe räumlicher und sprachspielerischer Erschließungstechniken. Als Beispiel dient mir die Poetik des OuLiPo (»Ouvroir de littérature potentielle«) und hier insbesondere (die Genese von) Georges Perecs Roman »La vie mode d’emploi«. Genauer wird daran gezeigt, wie Perec eine blockierte Fahrstuhlfahrt als metaphorische Referenz auf seine anfängliche Schreibhemmung in den Roman einfügt und wie diese Referenz als Kommentar zur Erzählbarkeit komplexer Raum-Zeit-Gefüge im Gesellschaftsroman des 20. Jahrhunderts, insbesondere zu Marcel Prousts »Recherche«, verstanden werden kann.

description: Female tabanid flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) can be a serious nuisance for horses because of their painful bites during blood feeding. They also play a primary role in mechanical transmission of a lentivirus causing Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), a virus that has spread within Europe in recent years. According to the European law for products intended for use as a repellent on horses (recreational and sport horses), a field test is mandatory to demonstrate sufficient repellency of such a substance against the specific target fly species, but currently no agreed protocols are available for testing of potential repellents. The aim of the present study was to establish a protocol for a field test to investigate the efficacy of N,N-diethyl-3-methyl-benzamide (DEET, Brum®, Huebeli-Stud Horse Care AG) in a 15-17% oil-water emulsion against tabanid flies on horses up to four hours. Between July and August 2015, four horses on three farms each were tested on two consecutive days in a cross-over design. The four horses on Farm A were used in the pre-test as well as in the main test. Two and a half hours after repellent application the horses were lunged until sweating. Tabanid fly infestations were both photographed and directly counted during five minutes 3 and 4h after repellent application on the right side of the horses in the area from the head to the flank, belly and first third of the foreleg. Without repellent application, up to 29 tabanid flies were counted on a horse, whereas the maximum for the repellent treated horses was four. In 50% of the horses treated with DEET there were no Tabanids observed (efficacy 100%), and in all horses the tabanid fly counts were lower than in the control horses with one exemption at 4h. The efficacy of the DEET repellent was at least 80% and 71% respectively, three or four hours after application (with a confidence level of 89%). A fly trap (Horse Pal) revealed the presence of the tabanid species Tabanus brominus and Haematopota pluvialis, but also non-specified arthropods. The design of the present study simulated practical conditions, allowed to quantify the number of tabanids flies and to demonstrate repellency of DEET in horses.

description: Recent researches have demonstrated the potential for bonding solid wood by a welding process without any application of adhesive. Mechanically induced friction seems to be contributing to bonding of two wood pieces by a process resembling welding. Two types of welding procedures have been studied on solid wood and OSB panels: linear friction for solid wood and rotational friction for OSB panel. Linear friction was studied on Canadian species (Black Spruce, White Pine, Sugar Maple and Yellow Birch) and rotational welding was studied with solid maple wood dowels and OSB panels (French and Canadian). The results obtained for shear tests indicate that the Canadian woods perform comparably to the European woods in welding procedures tested in this research.
