Artificial intelligence (AI) and value co-creation in B2B sales: Activities, actors and resources

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Continuous advances in information technologies, such as Artificial intelligence (AI), are opening up new and exciting opportunities for value co-creation between economic actors. However, little is known about the mechanisms and the process of value co-creation enabled by AI. While scholars agree that AI technology significantly changes human activities and human resources, currently we do not have an adequate understanding of how humans and AI technology interact in value co-creation. This is the central phenomenon investigated in this article. Specifically, using Service-Dominant Logic (S-DL) as a lens, this study investigates the activities, roles and resources that are exchanged in Al-enabled value co-creation, using the creation of competitive intelligence as a research context. The analysis suggests that Al-enabled value co-creation processes are complex interactions between human and non-human actors who perform any of six different roles either jointly or independently. This article contributes to SD-L and provides a deeper understanding of the activities (the ‘how’), the actors (the ‘who’), and the resources (the ‘what’) in Al-enabled value co-creation, thus helping to close an identified gap in the literature.

Simple and contingent adaptation effects in speech perception

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

We report three experiments that employed a contingent adaptation procedure to study the interactions between auditory and phonetic processes. In this procedure, two alternating stimuli are presented as adaptors and their combined effects on perception can be studied. Experiment I examined the voicing feature in stop consonants and replicated previous findings indicating that adaptation of voicing takes place in a vowel-dependent manner. Two other experiments extended the contingent procedure to an analysis of the place feature. In one experiment simple and contingent adaptation were studied in order to show that the effects obtained with single adaptors can be canceled by the presentation of a contingent sequence containing identical vowels. Finally, in another experiment, the vowel context of the contingent adaptors and test series was manipulated. Differential adaptation effects were observed for two separate place series. The direction of the shifts in each series was governed by the vowel context of the adapting syllables indicating that selective adaptation of the place feature is also carried out in a vowel dependent manner. The results of these contingent adaptation experiments suggest that a large component of the selective adaptation effect takes place at an auditory stage of perceptual processing prior to phonetic analysis.

A new framework for climate risks integration into Burkina Faso national decentralization policy

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In Sub-Saharan Africa, an efficient policy option to consolidate and accelerate territorial resilience to disaster risks and climate change is climate change integration into national decentralization policies. Such an option, if it is integrated, inclusive and participatory, would be a relevant and efficient response to territorial disparities in terms of climate risks vulnerability reduction capacities. In practice, it would consist of various decentralization facilities for territorial resilience configurations which limit social and economic regression risks.This article proposes the Badolo BurkinaClimDecentralization framework for climate risks integration into Burkina Faso national decentralization policy. It includes methodologies, information bodies and decision support tools to specify facilities classes to be integrated into decentralization to build territorial resilience to climate change. Climate change impact classes of very high, high, moderate, low and minor intensity are typical aspects of the proposed framework.Fundamentally, the Badolo BurkinaClimDecentralization framework is a new scientific tool to achieve political configurations of decentralization in Burkina Faso which provide facilities for building resilience to changes in this country different regions.
Cultural Borrowing, Appropriation, or Forgery in a Multicultural Context – Ostian Artefacts with an Egyptian Touch

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

One of the largest enterprises to control the maritime environment in the ancient world was the building project of the Ostian Portus. By construction of the Claudian port (about 64 CE) and especially the Trajanic port (about 112), the area became a principal maritime port of Imperial Rome for the food and energy supply, as well as the gateway for the new intellectual, cultural, and religious influences from the Mediterranean world and beyond. These influences are in focus in this chapter, which concentrates on the relationship between Egypt and Rome, and especially between the great city of Alexandria and the Ostia/Portus area. To make it more concrete, we will approach the question by studying the story behind peculiar objects, such as scarabs, found in Ostia, and by analysing the cultural contexts of these in the Roman world.
Cell Surface and Membrane Engineering: Emerging Technologies and Applications

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Membranes constitute the interface between the basic unit of life—a single cell—and the outside environment and thus in many ways comprise the ultimate “functional biomaterial”. To perform the many and often conflicting functions required in this role, for example to partition intracellular contents from the outside environment while maintaining rapid intake of nutrients and efflux of waste products, biological membranes have evolved tremendous complexity and versatility. This article describes how membranes, mainly in the context of living cells, are increasingly being manipulated for practical purposes with drug discovery, biofuels, and biosensors providing specific, illustrative examples. Attention is also given to biology-inspired, but completely synthetic, membrane-based technologies that are being enabled by emerging methods such as bio-3D printers. The diverse set of applications covered in this article are intended to illustrate how these versatile technologies—as they rapidly mature—hold tremendous promise to benefit human health in numerous ways ranging from the development of new medicines to sensitive and cost-effective environmental monitoring for pathogens and pollutants to replacing hydrocarbon-based fossil fuels.
Audit of clinical use of blood products in a tertiary care hospital

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objectives: Blood and its components are an important part of patient management treatment protocols and like drugs have property to cause adverse reactions in the recipients. To maximize the effectiveness, safety and utility clinicians and intravenous therapists should be knowledgeable about the potential risk of blood component therapy. Hence, regular audit of blood and its component usage is essential to access the blood utilization pattern and set ideal policies in all the blood using specialties. Material and Methods: This is a prospective Study conducted in department of Transfusion Medicine at Vinayaka Mission Kirupananda Variyar Medical College & Hospital for a period of one year. Source of data was blood bank requisition forms and blood bank registers of patients who underwent elective or emergency procedures in the hospital, for which blood was ordered. Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 41.8 years. The male : female ratio was 1.6 : 1. Majority of the study subjects were in the surgery department followed by Ortho and OBG. Majority of the study subjects belong to B+ve blood group followed by O+ve group and only 20% of the subjects belong to negative blood group. 70% of the subjects required blood transfusion for some kind of surgical intervention and only 28% had required blood transfusion related to medical causes. Majority required four units of PRC transfusion. Majority of the subjects had the haemoglobin levels in the range of 6–7 and the mean level was 6.56 gms%. Majority of the packed red cell was stored for 2 weeks or 5 weeks and the mean duration of storage was 4.3 weeks. A statistical significant improvement was observed in the mean haemoglobin levels in the post-transfusion period compared to the pre-transfusion haemoglobin. Only 5% of the times the reaction related to fever or anaphylaxis had occurred among the entire study subjects. 50% had completed the entire blood transfusion in less than 4 hrs and the mean duration was 4.3 hrs. 65.9% of the patients had appropriate blood transfusion based on the guideline and the remaining 34% had inappropriate blood transfusion. It is inferred from the table that the CTR, transfusion probability and the transfusion index was found to be above the guideline value to be considered as effective blood utilisation. Conclusion: Regular audit of blood components is crucial so that appropriate measures can be taken for proper usage. Continuous medical education regarding the transfusion services for the clinicians and staff nurses have major role in improvement for the clinical transfusion practices in the hospitals.
Dwarf mistletoe seed capsule orientation and seed discharge in western hemlock

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The seed discharge of Arceuthobium tsugense is closely related to the orientation of the seed capsule. The distribution of capsule orientations may therefore be used as a guide to the discharge pattern. With plants on the periphery of the crown, the azimuth orientation of the capsules directs seeds outward from the crown, whereas plants within the crown have an inward direction of azimuth capsule orientations. The distribution of vertical orientation angles is related to the growth angle of the branch bearing the infection. Infections near the crown periphery would appear to be more related to spread of infections, whereas those within the crown are related to intensification.
Expansion of pointing range using phase shift array for ultrasonic positioning system

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this study, we investigated the introduction of phased shift array transmitters for expanding the positioning range of ultrasonic positioning systems. The result of numerical simulation shows the number of transmitters to three or more, sufficient sound pressure intensity can be obtained for distance measurement. In addition, we constructed a phased shift array using three transmitters. In the distance measurement experiment, it shows to change the phase direction, similar to the results of the numerical simulation.
Practical Synthetic Method for Ogipeptin Derivatives

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In synthesizing novel derivatives of the natural cyclic peptides the ogipeptins, we established a simple and practical solid-phase peptide synthesis and macrocyclization method. By using this method, it became possible to obtain skeleton-modified ogipeptin derivatives with dehydroxylation of the β-hydroxy-α,γ-diaminobutyric acid, replacement of the (Z)-dehydrobutyrine residue, or replacement of the arginine residue.
Robotic Assisted Surgery for Women Undergoing Gynecological Surgery

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

One of the current alternatives to open gynecological surgery and laparoscopy is Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery (RALS), which is done utilizing Robotic Assisted Surgical Devices (RASD). These alternatives present another dimension to the cascade of decisions women make regarding surgery and recovery. Nurses are often called upon to help the women in the decision making process by providing education and current information. This requires requisite knowledge on the part of the nurses and collaboration with all members of the health care team. The purpose of this paper is to fully explain the trending new technology of robotic assisted gynecologic surgery, its advantages and disadvantages, and its implications for nursing through examining the available research and clinical literature on the topic.
Who Is Responsible for Nurse Wellbeing in a Crisis? A Single Centre Perspective

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: Leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic often manifested as a command-and-control style of leadership which had detrimental emotional impacts on staff, particularly the nursing workforce. Leadership can have detrimental effects on staff wellbeing, or it can greatly boost their ability to handle a crisis. We sought to explore the interrelationship between leadership and nurses’ wellbeing in an inner-city university hospital during the initial wave of the pandemic. Methods: We conducted secondary analyses of interview data collected during a hospital-wide evaluation of barriers and facilitators to changes implemented to support the surge of COVID-19 related admissions during wave one. Data were collected through semi-structured video interviews during May–July 2020. Interviews were analysed using Framework analysis. Results: Thirty-one nurses participated, including matrons (n = 7), sisters (n = 8), and specialist nursing roles (n = 16). Three overarching themes were identified: the impact on nurses, personal factors, and organisational factors. The impact on nurses manifested as distress and fatigue. Coping and help-seeking behaviours were found to be the two personal factors which underpinned nurses’ wellbeing. The organisational factors that impacted nurses’ wellbeing included decision-making, duty, and teamwork. Conclusions: The wellbeing of the workforce is pivotal to the health service, and it is mutually beneficial for patients, staff, and leaders. Addressing how beliefs and misconceptions around wellbeing are communicated and accessing psychological support are key priorities to supporting nurses during pandemics.
Confronting climate crisis : a framework for understanding the criteria for addressing dangerous climate change

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Despite wide acknowledgement of the threats from human-induced climate change to
human societies and the wider ecosystem, no comprehensive long-term global agreement
to tackle the problem has yet been reached to replace the Kyoto Protocol. In arguing for a
replacement, evaluative claims are often made that certain policy proposals are more
environmentally effective, equitable or efficient than others. However, these three dominant
criteria are subject to a range of interpretations, and can come into conflict with one
another. This limits their use for guiding policy. Philosophy can and should play a role in
scrutinising alternative conceptions, their justifications and assumptions, and help develop
justifiable formulations of the criteria. Existing philosophical contributions have focused
on aspects of the equity criterion, but have largely overlooked the other two criteria and
have not considered how they should be prioritised overall. This thesis, for the first time,
considers and proposes an ordering of these three criteria (focusing on mitigation), drawing
on a Green Economic conceptual framework. This places ecological effectiveness first,
defining the ecological limits of economic greenhouse gas-emitting activity; equity is then
applied second, to define equitable resource sharing of the emissions space; and efficiency
last, to imply genuinely efficient use of emissions space in contributing to equitable human
well-being. The thesis then examines in detail how each criterion should be interpreted
within this context, so that they are mutually consistent. As well as offering a set of ordered
evaluative criteria for a climate change mitigation agreement, it aims to highlight the role
of the conventional political-economic framework in climate policy debates and draw out
the hidden conceptual and ethical assumptions it imports. This thesis also, therefore, aims
to further the development of Green Economic thinking and show its relevance to the
current substantial threat of dangerous anthropogenic climate change.
Credit cards, financial responsibility, and college students: an experimental study

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Policymakers are concerned about the limited financial expertise of young adults because their naivete leaves them vulnerable to the perils of excess debt. We report the results of three experiments designed to investigate college students' mental representations of credit cards, focusing on linkages to financial responsibility. Students complete an inferential reasoning task in which they assess conditional relations to provide evidence on their rudimentary understanding of what credit card ownership entails. The findings suggest that students readily associate credit card ownership with the need to exercise financial responsibility. Yet, they have difficulty correctly assessing conditional relations. While these young adults believe that they should be financially responsible, their mental models do not fully describe the linkages between credit card ownership and financial responsibility. Additional investigation indicates that analogical transfer can be used to enrich students' mental models, underscoring an obligation to exercise financial responsibility.
Water and development in Israel and Jordan

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

After six days of fighting, the geopolitical map of the central Middle East changed dramatically. By occupying the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, West Bank, Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem, Israel more than trebled the territory it controlled. The new territorial configuration of the region represented a remarkable strategic improvement for Israel. Its land boundaries had shrunk by about 25 percent, while its shoreline more than doubled. In the south, Egyptian forces had been pushed back across the desert to the opposite side of the Gulf of Suez. In the north, Israeli forces had captured the high ground over Syria, thus bringing them within 24 kilometres of the Damascus—Amman highway. And in the center of the country, the cease-fire line was pushed eastward beyond the West Bank, to the Jordan River. (See map 6.1.)
Feasibility study of geochemical sampling of Arctic Coastal streams by helicopter based on a Department of Transport icebreaker

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Using the helicopter on board the Department of Transport icebreaker, "John A. Macdonald", 69 water and sediment samples from 54 stream sites were collected from eight regions during the period July 9 to August 19, 1971. At fifteen of these sites another sample from the brackish water zone of the stream was also collected. Of the factors influencing sampling, the ship's route and weather were most decisive. The water samples were analyzed on board ship for radon, alkalinity, Eh, pH, oxygen, calcium, total divalent cations , and chloride ions. These analyses showed that the waters were essentially saturated with oxygen at the temperature and pressure at the sample site, fluctuating around 11 ppm. Radon concentrations were generally low; however, waters from granitic regions contained easily detectable amounts of radon. Tests for alkalinity, pH, calcium, divalent ions and chloride ions gave clear evidence of the dominant rock type of the landscape through which the streams flow (e. g . l imestone or granites) and also instances of intermixture with sea water. The analytical results show that the streams sampled contain no anomalous concentrations of the trace elements , Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Ag, As, Sb, Mo, U , and Hg. Cost estimates show that with appropriate modifications of the 1971 sampling program, sampling of Arctic coastal streams by the above method is economical .
Hotel Industry Demand Curves

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT This research extends previous work on understanding hotel demand by focusing on the demand curve. Specifically attention is directed toward the slope of the curve indicating the relationship between average daily rate and the number of rooms sold—the price elasticity. Also, we investigate shifts in the curve caused by demand determinants such as changes in income; the extent is represented by income elasticity. Our findings are consistent with estimates produced by others for short-run elasticity, but we report sometimes noticeable differences between long-run and short-run elasticity. Price and income elasticity are considerably larger for higher-quality hotels as indicated by the chain scale in which they operate. Elasticity tends to increase with data disaggregation. Higher elasticity is generally found for individual chain scales and cities compared to the nation.
Sleep Quality in Head and Neck Cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: The patients with head and neck cancer often experience impaired sleep. Moreover, the treatment may negatively affect sleep quality. The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the sleep quality after treatment for head and neck cancer, and its relationship with quality of life and psychological distress. Methods: One hundred fifty-one patients who underwent treatment for head and neck cancer at our department were included in the study. Quality of life, sleep quality, risk of sleep apnea, sleepiness, pain and psychological distress were assessed by means of specific questionnaires. Results: The median follow-up was 30 months. A poor sleep quality was observed in 55.6% of cases. An association between PSQI global sleep quality and EORTC global health status was found. The DT, the HADS anxiety and the HADS depression scores were associated to PSQI global score, sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbances, daytime dysfunction. Conclusions: Sleep disturbances, particularly OSA and insomnia, are frequent in HNC patients, and significantly impact their quality of life and psychological well-being. Given the effect of sleep on overall well-being, addressing sleep disorders should be a priority in the care of HNC patients.
