The Role of Relational Mediators in the CRM-Performance Link: Evidence from Indian Retail Banks

CRM literature has considered the role of relationship quality (satisfaction, trust and commitment), but its respective effects on relationship maintenance (retention) and relationship development (cross-buying) are unnoticed. This research proposes an integrated model of CRM and investigates its impact on relationship quality, relationship maintenance, and relationship development. Specifically, it examines the effect of CRM on satisfaction, trust, retention and cross-buying. The results indicate significant and positive effect of CRM on satisfaction; satisfaction has a positive effect on trust, retention and cross-buying, and trust positively influences retention. Satisfaction plays a mediating role in the relationship between CRM and its outcomes. The results imply bank managers to focus on satisfying customers primarily to maintain and develop customer relationships.
Microstructure of HK40 alloy after high temperature service in oxidizing/carburizing environment

Crack propagation and oxidation phenomena during high temperature service of tubes made from HK40 alloy have been investigated. The materials were characterized using electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and microanalysis techniques after being used for an extended period (up to 25,000 h) as furnace tubes in ethylene pyrolysis. The service conditions subjected the materials to oxidizing and carburizing conditions on the surfaces leading to the formation of complex oxide structures in both external and internal oxide scales, and of carbide-denuded zones in subsurface regions. A macrocrack in one of the samples provided an opportunity to study the mechanism of crack propagation and the sequence of oxidation of the constituent elements in the material. The observations imply that silicon segregation during carbide coarsening was an important precursor to crack propagation.
Foreword - Museology: New Focuses / New Challenges

Certain days, when I wake up in the morning, I have no doubt I am the hunter in the Little Riding Hood’s tale. Free of angst, I am sure of my role in this tale, I know what to do, how to do it, evaluating situations well and defining aims. In such days, museology as defined by ICOM is easy. The Museum is indeed a permanent institution that collects, keeps, classifies and exhibits objects for cultural, leisure and development purposes; and I do not get traumatised in the search for a definite meaning of the museological object. In such days, in addition, I refuse to acknowledge the new colonisation wars in Iraq, in Cuba, in Candelaria or Armenia. I also ignore that 80% of the resources in the planet are for the exclusive use of 20% of humanity, I ignore the dependency on the IMF and the migration of labour towards the North. But, in other days, when I wake up, I am the granny. I have consolidated experiences and foresights, and I know perfectly well that all is provisional. All I have is past. My role in the tale does not force me to question history or its function. I will be reborn as many times as needed, regardless of change.
Structure and stoichiometry prediction of surfaces reacting with multicomponent gases.

Reactive interactions of molecules with solid surfaces are of key interest for catalysis and surface functionalization. Here, conceptual shortcomings of previous theoretical methods for the prediction of steady-state surface structures and stoichiometries from first-principles thermodynamics are identified. An extension is then proposed, which now enables the unconstrained description of an arbitrary number of mutually reacting gas-phase species.
Low-dimensional emissive states in non-stoichiometric methylammonium lead halide perovskites

Mixed-halide perovskites prepared from methylammonium iodide and lead chloride (MAPbI3−xClx) precursors are becoming increasingly well understood, however the effect of non-stoichiometry in this system is still not clear. Here, we create MAPbI3−xClx perovskites from starting mixtures containing an excess of MAI, and study them using a variety of structural and optical probes. Using grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) we demonstrate the existence of non-perovskite structures, and show that addition of hydroiodic acid (HI) also leads to similar low-dimensional phase formation. Photoluminescence spectroscopy performed at cryogenic temperatures indicates the existence of multiple emissive states between 510 nm and 605 nm resulting from a low dimensional phase (LDP) or multiple phases. By mapping the distribution of luminescence across the surface with submicron resolution, we found strong co-localisation of LDP emissive states. At certain blend ratios, emission is seen from both LDP states and methylammonium lead iodide perovskite (around 770 nm). Photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy of mixed-phase films reveals energy transfer, or a cascade, between different LDP states, but this process only occurs inefficiently to the surrounding perovskite. Time-resolved photoluminescence measurements demonstrate that LDP excited-state lifetimes decrease as a function of increasing temperature; a process consistent with a thermally-activated charge transfer process. Our work suggests that non-stoichiometric materials prepared via this processing route can lead to the formation of metastable LDPs with unique material properties that merit further investigation.
IDENTITY TALK IN THE PEACE AND JUSTICE MOVEMENT

This article examines identity talk in several peace movement organizations from 1982 to 1991. Identity talk directs attention to how identity discourse concretizes activists' perceptions of social movement dramas, demonstrates personal identity, reconstructs individuals' biographies, imputes group identities, and aligns personal and collective identities. Six types of identity talk are identified and illustrated: associational declarations, disillusionment anecdotes, atrocity tales, personal is political reports, guide narratives, and war stories. These stories revolve around the themes of becoming aware, active, committed, and weary. Suggestions are offered for possible future research.
Game theory and comparative politics: new perspectives, old interests

Seeking to conduct an inventory of the arguments used by game theory proponents, the article assesses both this theory and a set of theoretical principles that extend the scope from rational choice to interdependent decision-making and a type of formal methodology. The article identifies some key qualities, like the theorys emphasis on actors and strategic choices and its ability to generate logically rigorous and internally consistent predictions. But it also discusses many of the theorys shortcomings. Therefore, the challenge faced by scholars of comparative politics is to consider the new perspectives offered by game theory and to make use of its qualities, without losing sight of a series of relevant long-standing issues from the social sciences that this approach is not prepared to solve.
E-Business Standardization in the Automotive Sector: Role and Situation of SMEs

Successful cooperation between large manufacturers and their suppliers is a crucial aspect, especially in the automotive industry. Such mutually beneficial cooperation requires at least a certain level of integration and interoperation of the partners’ IT and e-business systems. This chapter looks at two approaches in order to achieve this goal: sector-specific harmonization (in the form of electronic marketplaces) and international, committee-based standardization. This chapter shows that SMEs are facing a severe disadvantage in both cases. This is, however, less pronounced in a formal standards setting, in which capabilities of the individual representatives are more important, at least at the working level.  The automotive industry is facing a number of challenges to the established relations among its players. Issues to be addressed include, for instance, shorter product life cycles, increasing cost pressure in stagnant markets, and higher complexity of the embedded electronic systems. In order to meet the associated production requirements, standardization of processes, systems, and data is inevitable. This industry is characterized by vertical integration in terms of the business relationship structures between OEMs1 and suppliers (Adolphs, 1996;  1993). A current trend in manufacturing is that OEMs attempt to cooperate with fewer suppliers but on a worldwide scale. As a result, small and medium-sized suppliers become suppliers to tier 1 or tier 2 suppliers rather than directly to the OEMs.
A common data library in an integrated CAD system for electronics

This paper describes the basic concept, features and implementation of a Common Data Library (CDL) in an integrated CAD/CAM system environment. The work presented is a part of a project called EPOKE, aiming at a totally integrated CAD/CAM system for the Norwegian electronics industry. The EPOKE project is sponsored by the Royal Norwegian Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (NTNF), and is a joint effort between A/S Elektrisk Bureau, A/S Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk, the Central Institute for Industrial Research, and ELAB (The Electronics Research Laboratory at the University of Trondheim).
Real world applications of construction process simulation

Construction simulation has been an academic tool since the 1960's. There are over 20 construction programs in the US and Canada that offer construction simulation as a course at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Although simulation has proved a valuable teaching tool in the academic setting, use by practicing professionals has been limited. The construction industry has been reluctant to consider this tool as a definitive aid for resource optimization and productivity improvement. The paper presents an example of the successful use of simulation by a large international construction company. The objective of the paper is to better understand what factors have enabled this company to continuously and successfully implement construction simulation on many of its projects.
Fifty Years of Ideology: A Selective Survey of Academic Economics in the United States 1930 to 1980

Ideology as a mixture of consciously or unconsciously accepted ideas and beliefs provides the underlying support or rationalisation for fundamental features of thought and action in a society. A vigorously promoted contending ideology may at any given time also influence developments. Value judgments, which are likewise not based on the logical rules of observation and verification, may for present purposes be taken as concerned with less comprehensive or less fundamental matters than ideology.
Were there Designed Landscapes in Medieval Ireland

AbstractRelatively little has been written about the non-pragmatic aspects of medieval Irish landscapes. The dominance of political and ethnic conflict in the traditional view of medieval Irish history has tempted archaeologists away from any interpretation of medieval landscape that stresses pleasure and intellect. This article attempts to redress that imbalance, principally by a critique of the current literature but also by the brief presentation of two designed landscapes of c. 1300.
Lateralidad y rendimiento lectoescritor en niños de 6 años

One purpose of our current education system is to the overall development of students 
throughout the entire school. Within the educational context, we find students from early 
childhood education have difficulty in acquiring reading and writing aspects that affect and 
seriously limit their current school performance and academic future. 
The objective this research is to study the relationship between laterality and the level 
of literacy achieved by the kindergarten students at the end of childhood education. To do 
this, we follow a non experimental and descriptive methodology. We evaluate laterality, 
reading and writing by Test Laterality of Neuropsychological Testing and Test Analysis 
Reading and Writing (TALE), by 30 students from 6 years old, belonging to 3rd child 
education, and analyzed relationships between the three variables. 
The study results indicate that there is a relationship between laterality and learning of 
reading and writing, since students have a well defined laterality perform better in both 
reading and writing, with respect to having a laterality undefined. As suggested, I train 
laterality by an intervention program aimed at the group of students who underperformed, 
with the object of strengthening the lateral dominance and get better results in the process 
of reading and writing.
The Lesser Antilles and Aves Ridge

The island-arc complex of the Lesser Antilles  borders the eastern margin of the Caribbean plate where the latter meets and is underthrust by the western Atlantic Ocean floor. The continuity of the topographic features, the seismicity, and the gravity anomalies from the Greater Antilles through the Lesser Antilles and into northern Venezuela establishes the existence of an active tectonic belt through these areas. The main physiographic feature of the Lesser Antilles is the crustal upwarp which is a relatively narrow ridge from Grenada to Guadeloupe but from there northward becomes a nearly flat-topped platform. Islands along the eastern margin of this platform are composed of Eocene to Oligocene volcanics and minor intrusives capped extensively by Miocene limestones, while the western margin is bordered by a chain of younger, Plio-Pleistocene volcanoes.
Trends and Challenges for Social Enterprises in Romania

Over the last years, the interest for the potential of social economy organisations to support and produce economic and social development has increased substantially. Against the background of this increased interest in the area ,the interest for the research of this economic sector having specific characteristics and grouping various organisations under the same identity has also increased. Starting from recent research, the main purpose of this article is to describe the landscape of social economy actors and the key elements in the evolution of the social enterprises in Romania. In the first part, we present structured information about the status quo of social economy entities such as they appear by analyzing the data collected at national level by the National Institute of Statistics and by analyzing the juridical and institutional framework of each type of organization. The analysis mainly focuses on three types of organisations - cooperatives, NGOs with an economic activity and mutual organisations. In the second part, the authors identify and analyze several key policy fields enabling the development of social economy actors. The last part of the review is dedicated to a discussion concerning the development of a specific policy framework to support the social enterprises in Romania.
Secure multi-execution in Android

Mobile operating systems, such as Google's Android, have become a fixed part of our daily lives and are entrusted with a plethora of private information. Congruously, their data protection mechanisms have been improved steadily over the last decade and, in particular, for Android, the research community has explored various enhancements and extensions to the access control model. However, the vast majority of those solutions has been concerned with controlling the access to data, but equally important is the question of how to control the flow of data once released. Ignoring control over the dissemination of data between applications or between components of the same app, opens the door for attacks, such as permission re-delegation or privacy-violating third-party libraries. Controlling information flows is a long-standing problem, and one of the most recent and practical-oriented approaches to information flow control is secure multi-execution.
 In this paper, we present Ariel, the design and implementation of an IFC architecture for Android based on the secure multi-execution of apps. Ariel demonstrably extends Android's system with support for executing multiple instances of apps, and it is equipped with a policy lattice derived from the protection levels of Android's permissions as well as an I/O scheduler to achieve control over data flows between application instances. We demonstrate how secure multi-execution with Ariel can help to mitigate two prominent attacks on Android, permission re-delegations and malicious advertisement libraries.
Sweet Promises: A Reader on Indian-White Relations in Canada // Review

In his earlier work, Skyscrapers Hide the Heavens, J.R. Miller explored the history of relations between whites and native peoples in Canada. Sweet Promises is a companion volume. It brings together the work of a number of scholars on a wide range of issues in Indian-white relations, and develops many of the themes identified in the earlier work. The articles, all previously published, are concerned with developments in the various regions of Canada from the days of New France to the present. They deal with the early military alliances, relations at the time of the fur trade, civil Indian policy, treaties and reserves, the Northwest Rebellion, the impact of religion and agricultural and educational policies, the emergence of native political organization, differing attitudes towards the environment, and the struggle for aboriginal rights and contemporary land claims disputes. In a new introduction Miller provides an overview of the history of Indian- white relations over five centuries, and in the conclusion he draws together the themes discussed in the volume.
The European Corporation: Strategy, Structure, and Social Science

This book traces the evolution of the large industrial corporation in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom from the 1950s to the 1990s. It combines long-run trends with illustrative case studies of leading companies and their managers to present a rich and complex picture of corporate change. In particular, the authors highlight the paradox of increasingly similar patterns of corporate strategy and structure across advanced industrial nations with continuing marked differences in corporate ownership, control, and managerial elites. Despite strong institutional contrasts between the leading European economies, and regardless of the decline of the American model of management, big business in Europe has continued to follow a strategic and structural model pioneered in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century and encapsulated long ago in Alfred Chandler's (1962) 'Strategy and Structure'. This finding of similar patterns of corporate strategy and structure across Europe challenges recent relativist perspectives on organizations found in postmodern, culturalist, and institutionalist social science. Nevertheless, it does not endorse standard universalist accounts of convergence either. The book distinguishes between Chandlerism, with its original ideology of universalism, and the broader Chandlerian perspective, an enduring but evolving core of good sense about the corporation in certain kinds of advanced economies. Thus the authors show how the surprising success of conglomerate diversification and the increasing adoption of more 'networked' multidivisional structure simply extend the core principles of the Chandlerian perspective. They argue that the extent to which Chandlerian principles have held good across the advanced economies of Western Europe through the whole post-war period makes them a model for the kind of adaptive and bounded social scientific prescription appropriate to a changing and varied world. The book contributes to contemporary academic debates on relativism and universalism by proposing a middle-way based on a boundedly-generalizing social science. For policy-makers, it suggest the possibility of steady economic convergence independent of radical and external pressure and sensitive to other aspects of national social structures. For business decision-makers, it offers a more positive model of diversification, especially conglomerate diversification, as well as a new networked organization appropriate to the demands of today's knowledge economy.
Pragmatism, Policy Science, and the State

The philosophy ofpragmatism is often cited as the source ofthe theoretical underpinnings of the contemporary policy sciences. However, an examination of the work of John Dewey reveals that pragmatism is incompatible with the conception of knowledge which now prevails in these sciences as well as the relationship currently established between this form of inquiry and the state. Fidelity to pragmatism requires a fundamental reconceptualization of the practice of social science and a reconsideration of the organization of knowledge and power in a democratic society.
HOME IN THE DRAMATIC WORLD OF THE FATHER BY AUGUST

Strindberg’s The Father Home, within the dramatic world of the text in question, becomes a space which the characters, especially Laura inscribes rather than just inhabits. The metaphor of home is a popular metaphor in literature, especially in the postcolonial and social drama of Ibsen and Chekhov and other such playwrights of the modern era. House or home plays a significant role in plays like Hedda Gabler, Doll’s House, The Cherry Orchard and also in other plays by Strindberg (2006) like The Dance of Death and to an extent in Miss Julie too. In The Father however, it changes its connotations, especially with respect to Laura’s character as the plot develops. It becomes from a place of oppression to that of power for her and finally a Sibyl’s cave where she uses her sorcery and creativity in a somewhat twisted way to mould things according to her desire. This paper seeks to critically analyze the space which defines “home” in The Father, how it is used and consequently differed in meaning through the intervention of Laura. For this purpose it will draw upon “The Parables of the Cave” written by Sandra M.Gilbert and Susan Gubar. This essay talks about how the simile of the cave corresponds with womb and the female abode.
Effect of pH and Monovalent Cations on the Formation of Quinonoid Intermediates of the Tryptophan Synthase α2β2 Complex in Solution and in the Crystal

Quinonoid intermediates play a key role in the catalytic mechanism of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate-dependent enzymes. Whereas the structures of other pyridoxal 5′-phosphate-bound intermediates have been determined, the structure of a quinonoid species has not yet been reported. Here, we investigate factors controlling the accumulation and stability of quinonoids formed at the β-active site of tryptophan synthase both in solution and the crystal. The quinonoids were obtained by reacting the α-aminoacrylate Schiff base with different nucleophiles, focusing mainly on the substrate analogs indoline and β-mercaptoethanol. In solution, both monovalent cations (Cs+ or Na+) and alkaline pH increase the apparent affinity of indoline and favor accumulation of the indoline quinonoid. A similar pH dependence is observed when β-mercaptoethanol is used. As indoline and β-mercaptoethanol exhibit very distinct ionization properties, this finding suggests that nucleophile binding and quinonoid stability are controlled by some ionizable protein residue(s). In the crystal, alkaline pH favors formation of the indoline quinonoid as in solution, but the effect of cations is markedly different. In the absence of monovalent metal ions the quinonoid species accumulates substantially, whereas in the presence of sodium ions the accumulation is modest, unless α-subunit ligands are also present. α-Subunit ligands not only favor the formation of the intermediate, but also reduce significantly its decay rate. These findings define experimental conditions suitable for the stabilization of the quinonoid species in the crystal, a critical prerequisite for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of this intermediate.
