A Design Process for a Customer Journey Map: A Case Study on Mobile Services

A customer journey map CJM is a widely used tool to represent user experience with a service. Although numerous companies have used this tool to improve existing services or to develop new services, the maps are neither consistent nor mutually compatible because no clear design process for a CJM has been presented. This study aimed to develop a design process and rule sets for a CJM based on a human factors approach. The 10 step process and the rule sets were built on case studies of 25 categories of mobile services. Large scale case studies were conducted with mobile service providers and combined with the result of a user diary method that collected users' daily activities and the difficulties that the user perceived when performing a task. We suggested various methods for using the CJM to generate new service opportunities. The proposed design process and the way for opportunity discovery can help service designers to develop unified CJMs and to identify innovative service ideas.
Social Network Sites, Friends, and Celebrities: The Roles of Social Comparison and Celebrity Involvement in Adolescents' Body Image Dissatisfaction

This study applies the social comparison theory to examine the effects of adolescents' engagement in comparison with friends and celebrities on social network sites (SNSs) on (a) their body image dissatisfaction (BID) and (b) their drive to be thin (DT) or muscular (DM) The study also examines celebrity involvement as an antecedent of the outcome variables. Data were collected through a survey of 1,059 adolescents in Singapore. Regression analyses indicate that SNSs use was related to adolescents' BID. Specifically, social comparison with friends on SNSs was significantly associated with adolescents' BID, DT, and DM. Gender differences were also observed social comparison with celebrities was significantly associated with BID and DT among female adolescents. Celebrity involvement was significantly associated with male BID. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.
Harnessing Deep Neural Networks with Logic Rules
Venue: ACL

Combining deep neural networks with structured logic rules is desirable to harness flexibility and reduce uninterpretability of the neural models. We propose a general framework capable of enhancing various types of neural networks (e.g. CNNs and RNNs) with declarative first order logic rules. Specifically, we develop an iterative distillation method that transfers the structured information of logic rules into the weights of neural networks. We deploy the framework on a CNN for sentiment analysis, and an RNN for named entity recognition. With a few highly intuitive rules, we obtain substantial improvements and achieve state of the art or comparable results to previous best performing systems.
Inhibition of the Rac1 WAVE2 Arp2/3 signaling pathway promotes radiosensitivity via downregulation of cofilin 1 in U251 human glioma cells.
Venue: Molecular medicine reports

The Ras related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) WASP family verprolin homologous protein 2 (WAVE2) actin related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3) signaling pathway has been identified to be involved in cell migration and invasion in various types of cancer cell. Cofilin 1 (CFL 1) which is regulated by the Rac1 WAVE2 Arp2/3 signaling pathway, may promote radioresistance in glioma. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the potential role of the Rac1 WAVE2 Arp2/3 signaling pathway in radioresistance in U251 human glioma cells and elucidate its affect on CFL 1 expression. Western blot analysis was performed to evaluate the protein expression of CFL 1. In the present study, Rac1 was inhibited by NSC 23766, WAVE2 was inhibited by transfection with short hairpin (sh)RNA WAVE2 using Lipofectamine(tm) 2000 and Arp2/3 was inhibited by CK 666. Cell viability was measured using the 3 (4,5 dimethylthiazol 2 yl) 2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, the cell migration ability was examined by a wound healing assay, and the cell invasion ability was assessed using a Transwell culture chamber system. The results showed that inhibition of the Rac1 WAVE2 Arp2/3 signaling pathway using NSC 23766, shRNA WAVE2 or CK 666 reduced the cell viability, migration and invasion abilities in U251 human glioma cells, concordant with a reduced expression of CFL 1. Furthermore, the expression of CFL 1 was significantly increased in radioresistant U251 glioma cells when compared with normal U251 human glioma cells. These findings indicate that inhibition of the Rac1 WAVE2 Arp2/3 signaling pathway may promote radiosensitivity, which may partially result from the downregulation of CFL 1 in U251 human glioma cells.

Financial Parenting: Promoting Financial Self Reliance of Young Consumers

This chapter reviews the financial parenting practices that foster the development of children's financial knowledge and skills, preparing them to become financially self reliant adults. Financial self reliance encompasses financial independence and financial capability as well as the ability to make prudent financial decisions based on available options and resources. In many countries, financial self reliance is a key marker of adult status. Parents play an important role in shaping the financial knowledge and skills their children need to achieve this milestone. Financial parenting refers to three contexts through which parents influence children's progress toward financial self reliance: socialization, parenting style, and parental social class. This chapter has two objectives: (1) to describe the ways that financial parenting promotes the acquisition of financial knowledge and skills and (2) to propose how financial parenting promotes or constrains financial self reliance. We conclude with recommendations for those who work with or on behalf of young consumers.
The Research on the Impact of Service Failure Severity on Customer Service Failure Attribution in the Network Shopping
Venue: WHICEB

In recent years, the rapid development of electronic commerce in China has made online shopping one of the most important shopping ways. However, there are more and more service failures on online shopping, and complaints about them are increasing, which will hinder the development of e commerce in China. After service failure occurring, customers are going to decide the parties who are responsible for the failure typically based on specific failure situation and personal experience, namely service failure attribution. A lot of research has discussed the effect of service failure attribution on service recovery, customer satisfaction, trust and loyalty, as well as consumer intent of sequent behavior. And yet, the research on service failure attribution process is relatively less. Based on the literatures, this paper examines the effect of failure severity on service failure attribution of locus, controllability, and the moderating role of customer relationship and social responsibility image. The results of this study suggest that: Severity of failure has a significantly positive effect on service failure attribution of locus, controllability; Customer relationship significantly moderates the influences of failure severity on service attribution of locus, controllability; Social responsibility image significantly moderates the influences of failure severity on service attribution of locus, controllability.
Trends and abrupt changes in 104 years of ice cover and water temperature in a dimictic lake in response to air temperature, wind speed, and water clarity drivers

The one dimensional hydrodynamic ice model, DYRESM WQ I, was modified to simulate ice cover and thermal structure of dimictic Lake Mendota, Wisconsin, USA, over a continuous 104 year period (1911 2014) The model results were then used to examine the drivers of changes in ice cover and water temperature, focusing on the responses to shifts in air temperature, wind speed, and water clarity at multiyear timescales. Observations of the drivers include a change in the trend of warming air temperatures from 0.081 degC per decade before 1981 to 0.334 degC per decade thereafter, as well as a shift in mean wind speed from 4.44 m s 1 before 1994 to 3.74 m s 1 thereafter. Observations show that Lake Mendota has experienced significant changes in ice cover: later ice on date(9.0 days later per century) earlier ice off date (12.3 days per century) decreasing ice cover duration (21.3 days per century) while model simulations indicate a change in maximum ice thickness (12.7 cm decrease per century) Model simulations also show changes in the lake thermal regime of earlier stratification onset (12.3 days per century) later fall turnover (14.6 days per century) longer stratification duration (26.8 days per century) and decreasing summer hypolimnetic temperatures 1.4 degC per century) Correlation analysis of lake variables and driving variables revealed ice cover variables, stratification onset, epilimnetic temperature, and hypolimnetic temperature were most closely correlated with air temperature, whereas freeze over water temperature, hypolimnetic heating, and fall turnover date were more closely correlated with wind speed. Each lake variable (i.e. ice on and ice off dates, ice cover duration, maximum ice thickness, freeze over water temperature, stratification onset, fall turnover date, stratification duration, epilimnion temperature, hypolimnion temperature, and hypolimnetic heating) was averaged for the three periods (1911 1980, 1981 1993, and 1994 2014) delineated by abrupt changes in air temperature and wind speed. Average summer hypolimnetic temperature and fall turnover date exhibit significant differences between the third period and the first two periods. Changes in ice cover (ice on and ice off dates, ice cover duration, and maximum ice thickness) exhibit an abrupt change after 1994, which was related in part to the warm El Nino winter of 1997 1998. Under ice water temperature, freeze over water temperature, hypolimnetic temperature, fall turnover date, and stratification duration demonstrate a significant difference in the third period (1994 2014) when air temperature was warmest and wind speeds decreased rather abruptly. The trends in ice cover and water temperature demonstrate responses to both long term and abrupt changes in meteorological conditions that can be complemented with numerical modeling to better understand how these variables will respond in a future climate.
Elevation dependent reductions in wind speed over and around the Tibetan Plateau

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) affects its surroundings significantly through thermal and dynamic processes. Reductions in near surface wind speed (Ws) have been observed from ground measurements but how the trends of Ws vary with the elevation is less clear. Trends of Ws with respect to elevation were investigated using long term daily records taken from 1970 to 2012 of Ws and maximum (Tmax) minimum (Tmin) and mean (Tmean) air temperatures from 139 stations over and around the TP. The major findings are as follows. (1) Pronounced reductions in Ws can be observed in all seasons and annually across the TP. Spring demonstrates the most prominent weakening. The rate of reductions in Ws was amplified with elevation, and higher elevation environments experienced greater changes in Ws than lower elevation areas. Elevation dependent reductions in Ws have intensified from 1970 to 2012. (2) Statistically significant negative correlations between Ws and corresponding near surface temperatures were detected. We suggested that the elevation dependent warming and thereby the increased surface roughness at higher elevation environments may contribute to the elevation dependent reductions in Ws over and around the TP. More detailed mechanisms causing this pattern are to be further explored.
Assessment of offshore wind speed and power potential over the Mediterranean and the Black Seas under future climate changes

Renewable energy resources including wind power are being increasingly harnessed to provide electricity generation potential with negligible emissions of carbon dioxide. However, the wind energy resource is susceptible to climate change that might benefit or negatively impact wind energy developments depending on the region under consideration. In this study, the wind speed as well as the resulting wind power potential over the maritime areas of the Mediterranean Sea and a large part of the Black Sea is analyzed by exploring an ensemble of six regional climate model simulations of the current and two future periods produced in the frame of the ENSEMBLES project. The ensemble is also used to illustrate the uncertainties in future climate change simulations related to boundary conditions, and to the regional model selection. Results show a decrease in mean wind speed and wind power potential over the central Mediterranean Sea with the exceptions of an increase over the Aegean, Alboran Seas and Gulf of Lion, that also presents an important seasonality. Moreover, significant differences between the ensemble simulations are affected by the regional model selection and even more by the global model used to provide the boundary conditions.
The oncogenic transcription factor c Jun regulates glutaminase expression and sensitizes cells to glutaminase targeted therapy
Venue: Nature communications

Many transformed cells exhibit altered glucose metabolism and increased utilization of glutamine for anabolic and bioenergetic processes. These metabolic adaptations, which accompany tumorigenesis, are driven by oncogenic signals. Here we report that the transcription factor c Jun, product of the proto oncogene JUN, is a key regulator of mitochondrial glutaminase (GLS) levels. Activation of c Jun downstream of oncogenic Rho GTPase signalling leads to elevated GLS gene expression and glutaminase activity. In human breast cancer cells, GLS protein levels and sensitivity to GLS inhibition correlate strongly with c Jun levels. We show that c Jun directly binds to the GLS promoter region, and is sufficient to increase gene expression. Furthermore, ectopic overexpression of c Jun renders breast cancer cells dependent on GLS activity. These findings reveal a role for c Jun as a driver of cancer cell metabolic reprogramming, and suggest that cancers overexpressing JUN may be especially sensitive to GLS targeted therapies.
Competition and Firm Service Reliability Decisions: A Study of the Airline Industry

To understand the impact of strategic competition on organizational service reliability decisions, this study investigates if firms in the airline industry consider competitors' actions when making their service reliability decisions.We apply two methods a seemingly unrelated regression and a discrete game among airlines to analyze data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics on flight cancellations rates and duration of flight delays. We find that competitive effects lead firms to differentiate themselves on the levels (low vs. high) and dimensions (cancellation vs. delay) of service reliability.In counterfactual analyses, we show that commitment by a firm to low cancellation rates leads to improved service reliability in the overall market. Internal programs to improve service reliability, such as on time bonuses, can significantly improve service reliability, however, ignoring competitive interactions can lead to the over estimation of the impact of these programs on service reliability by more than 10%
Impact of Service Quality Factors on Customer Trust in Libyan Airline Industry

The main purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between service quality factors and customer trust in Libyan airline industry. Customers travelling in the Libyan airlines are facing security issues due to increased traffic accidents, congestions, and pollution. Due to rising level of customer complaints and labor disputes airline industry appeared to be the victims of their own success. A quantitative approach was employed to measure the relationship between the variables of the study. Statistics tests includes descriptive statistics, internal consistency, reliability, validity and regression analysis using co variance based structural equation modelling was conducted to validate the study. The study found that there is positive relationship between the service quality factors and customer trust except competence. Shared values and benevolence of service quality factors were found to have high influence on customer trust.
Study on Internal Service Quality, Job Satisfaction and Customer Satisfaction in Airline Industry

In this study, the basic concept of service profit chain was introduced based on the existing studies related to service quality of airline ground crew to find out how are customer satisfaction influenced by factors related to employees who provide service quality to the customers, such as internal service quality and job satisfaction. The data of this study was collected by questionnaire and based on airline ground crews and Gimpo international airport users. A total of 190 of airline ground crew and 273 of passengers validity sample was analyzed a frequency analysis, reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis and correlation coefficient analysis from SPSS 21, a hypothesis through out confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling from AMOS 7.0. As a result of the analyses, it was found that the models was appropriate in proving the hypotheses on interrelationships among internal service quality, job satisfaction and customer satisfaction. Overall, finding of this study enhance the theoretical progress on the experiential concept in walking tour and offer important implication for airline industry marketers.
Organizational responses to uncertainty in the airline industry: Changes in patterns of communication networks

Changing environmental conditions introduce uncertainty into organizational operations, and airlines respond in various ways. Scholars traditionally explore responses to environmental uncertainty by drawing upon theories of communication networks, coordination, organizational resilience, and high reliability organizing. Yet, the research has competing communication predictions, which makes planning and designing organizational responses challenging, as the level and type of uncertainty changes over time. Research also does not address variations in responses across different groups of employees. Using longitudinal network data from the United Airlines operations tower in Newark Airport (USA) this research examines communication for the purpose of relational coordination in a dynamically adaptive organizational network. Results reveal different patterns of organizational communication as different employee groups (frontline, cross functional boundary spanners, and managers) face varying conditions of uncertainty. This paper concludes with theoretical contributions and practical recommendations for managing complex communication networks to respond to dynamic conditions of uncertainty in the airline operations settings.
Zooming In on Choice: How Do Consumers Search for Cameras Online?
Venue: Mark. Sci.

We describe online consumers' search behavior for differentiated durable goods using a data set that captures a detailed level of consumer search and attribute information for digital cameras. Consumers search extensively, engaging in 14 searches on average prior to purchase. Individual level search is confined to a small part of the attribute space. Early search is highly predictive of the characteristics of the camera eventually purchased. Search paths through the attribute space are state dependent and display "lock in" as the search unfolds. Finally, the first time discovery of the chosen alternative usually takes place toward the end of the search sequence. We discuss these and other findings in the context of optimal search strategies and discuss the prospects for consumer learning during search.Data, as supplemental material, are available at http:/dx.doi.org/10.1287/mksc.2016.0977
A Place for Other Stories: Authorship and Evidence in Experimental Times

In recent years geographers have borrowed from a variety of creative literary forms to find new ways of telling stories. Yet despite the profusion of experimentation, there has been little in the way of intellectual justification for why such formats are necessary. The aim of this article is to provide such a rationale. Specifically, it argues that stories are more than evidence. Traditionally, the role of stories is to support a particular theory, framework, or hypothesis and, in doing so, provide the substantive evidence by which an argument can be judged. The consequence is that stories are subsumed to the author's explanatory framework. There is little purpose to reading the story because we already know the ending. We know what the characters and events will do and the purpose the story will serve. Drawing on the anthropologist Viveiros de Castro, this article positions stories as the origin of our thinking, rather than its evidence. Specifically it argues that stories have a purpose beyond evidence, beyond the author, and beyond the empirical situation from which they are derived. By acknowledging the role of stories in our thinking, the article situates a place for stories that is defined not by what they prove, but by what they give to us as both authors and subjects.
Learning to embrace our stories: Using place based education practices to inspire authentic writing

The idea of place extends beyond just the location where people live. Place is a narrative, a story that involves interactions, characters, conflicts, and the rise and flow of humanity. By understanding the importance of place and the connection to the places from which people originate, the people, their motivations, and their strengths and weaknesses begin to take a shape that inspires transformational ideas and actions. Adolescents must often deal with issues that are attached to the places they live. This article explores the adolescent and how, by learning about their own community, they may begin to tell and embrace their stories. When education provides space for students to write stories in which they are the expert, they can begin to take pride in their abilities while learning to respect the home, school, and community that has informed who they are.
