The globalization of trade and the rapid development of the digital economy have promoted the explosion of e-commerce through livestreaming, which stands out as the megalive phenomenon, extremely large-scale broadcasts with outstanding sales. In this context, keeping consumers in suspense (KCIS) has emerged as an essential strategy that shapes perceptions and promotes consumer behavior. However, this topic has not been fully explored. Therefore, this study aims to explore the impact of KCIS strategies, including preview fuzziness (PF), suspense setting (SS), and delight creation (DC), on impulsive buying behavior (IBB) through perceived scarcity (PS), curiosity (CU), emotional arousal (EA), and price perception (PP). A purposive sampling method was employed to collect data from 508 Vietnamese consumers. Structural equation modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS was applied for data analysis. The findings reveal that PF, SS, and DC positively influence PS, CU, and EA. In turn, PS, CU, and EA mediate the relationships between PF, SS, DC, and IBB. Furthermore, PP significantly moderates the links between CU and IBB, EA and IBB, and PS and IBB. Based on these results, the study proposes managerial implications for retailers and brands conducting business through livestreaming on e-commerce platforms to enhance the IBB of consumers in megalive sessions. It also provides theoretical insights while highlighting limitations and suggesting directions for future research.

With the rise of the metaverse, digital transformation is profoundly affecting the field of art exhibitions. Museums and galleries are actively adopting metaverse technologies to present artworks through virtual platforms, providing audiences with novel opportunities for immersive engagement and art experiences and shaping high-quality user experiences. However, the factors influencing user engagement in the metaverse art exhibition platform (MeAEP) remain unclear in the current research. This research combines the information systems success model (ISSM) and the hedonic motivation system adoption model (HMSAM) to construct a theoretical model that provides insights into the factors influencing MeAEP users’ intention to engage and their immersion behavior, with a focus on the sustainability of the art exhibition. We quantitatively analyzed 370 users that experienced MeAEP and analyzed the data and measurement model using SPSS 27 and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that information quality (IQ), system quality (SQ), and perceived ease of use (PEOU) significantly and positively influenced perceived usefulness (PU), curiosity (CUR), joy (JOY), and control (CON). PU, JOY, and CON have a positive and significant effect on Immersion (IM). Finally, PU, CUR, JOY, and CON had a positive effect on behavioral intention (BI). In conclusion, only one of the twenty hypotheses was not supported. The research findings not only enrich the academic and managerial theories related to the metaverse and art exhibition platforms, but also provide practical insights for administrators, developers, and MeAEP designers to create higher-quality and more immersive art content, as well as provide constructive ideas for the sustainability of art exhibitions to further enhance user experience.

Drawing from Hedonic Motivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM), this paper purposes to investigate factors influencing ChatGPT adoption behaviour among Nepalese users. The paper utilised a cross-sectional survey research design to gather data from 350 users of ChatGPT in Nepal. The researchers employed purposive sampling to select respondents for the paper. To test hypotheses, this paper applied the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique. This paper found that Joy and Perceived Usefulness (PU) have a significant influence on Behaviour Intention (BI). Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) on Confirmation (CON) and Joy. Likewise, PEOU has a significant influence on Control (CON) and Joy. However, CON, curiosity (CU) and Joy do not significantly influence Immersion (IMM). CU does not influence BI and IMM, and PEOU does not influence CU and Perceived Usefulness (PU) among Nepalese ChatGPT users. This paper offers a significant outlook for the developers of ChatGPT to focus on the ease of using and joyfulness of using ChatGPT.

Review: The Return of Curiosity, by Nicholas Thomas

Jose Saramago is a central figure of Portuguese Literature. The Nobel Prize winner always wanted to consolidate his identity to defend his moral position. Through an itinerary full of experiences and impressions, Saramago traveled all over his country while he was composing his book Viaje a Portugal (1980). Will it be possible to trace his own way of feeling the Portuguese landscape? Will it be possible to unveil a deeper meaning about his personal bonds to his native town and the whole territory of Portugal? Will it be possible to learn about him through his so called “cartografia de la memoria” (“Cartography of the Memory”), which is nothing less than his own memories and his aesthetic point of view? Finally, we have to ask what image of space Saramago’s own travel provides to the reader when he later translates it into a cartographic language. In this paper, we explore the geographical notion of Saramago’s own territory and the portuguese landscape. We do it by utilizing his own concept of travel. In this way, we can examine the elements that informed his spatial system, one which he developed guided by his “cartographic curiosity”. In other words, a geographical culture composed by rivers, mountains, stones and history.

It was a sunny day in the Norwegian mountains and one of many Easter weeks that we two spent alone with dad. We had gone three miles on the bare mountains above treeline, had the 18-mile hike’s most difficult ascent behind us and were reaching a beautiful plateau, with several of Norway’s highest peaks in view. Dad walked like a machine, putting down one walking pole after the other, keeping the same pace, his sights set on the snow a few metres ahead. ‘Dad, look how beautiful it is’, we exclaimed enthusiastically as we waited for him. ‘It’s beautiful indeed’, he answered without even lifting his gaze. He just kept the same pace, passing us. He first took in the view as we sat down, having our packed lunch (Figure 1). When he was skiing, he wanted to ski. Later, he explained: certainly, he could enjoy nature, but the primary reason for him to go skiing was that he worked better when coming home. He was then about to turn 70. There was always a purpose to what dad was doing, whether that was skiing, being out at sea, walking in the woods or gardening on Sundays. There were nets to be laid, mushrooms and lingonberries to be picked, and planting or digging to be done in the flower bed. That is possibly why he had little understanding for our respective sporting activities—we were not going to become professional athletes—but he encouraged us all the more in our studies, without ever having opinions on what we read or checking our results. What was important was that we did something that we found rewarding and interesting and that we felt a sense of purpose. Of course, he was demanding, to us as well as to himself. But he treated us with warmth, and we always felt his respect for us as individuals. He did not criticise, correct or meddle. Instead, we early learned early to take responsibility and show that we could handle things on our own. He listened to our views and opinions, even at times when he did not quite agree. But his preference was to give lectures about art, other countries and cultures, and most of all about botany and history. On long car rides, he recounted episodes from Swedish history as though they were the most exciting stories. During excursions in nature, he taught us the names of plants. When dad a few years before his death got questions about his childhood along with a tape recorder in which to speak his answers, the result was a long lecture on the differences between the two world wars. Curiosity and restlessness drove him not only in his work, but also privately. The prior inspired. The latter was manageable as long as one did not get too involved. Dad was always up to something. If he was not reading research works or books—he often filled a whole bag at the library—he was engaged in practical work in the house and in the garden. He was old-fashioned and modern, civilised and bohemian, conventional and unconventional, and polite and nonchalant. And above all—and this can be just as important to a child—he was through all the years exceedingly fond of our mom. He was always a little lost if she did not answer when he came home, whether it was just after a day at work or after a long trip.

The Posidonia Shale (Lower Toarcian, Upper Lias) is famous for its fossilized vertebrates. Since the beginning of the excavations of the State Museum of Natural History in Brunswick in 2014, a number of isolated bones of pterosaurs have been unearthed and tentatively referred to Dorygnathus banthensis (Theodori 1830). The findings of pterosaurs are a curiosity in northern Germany, as they are usually known from famous sites in southern Germany. Using 3D scans, sketches and high-resolution photographs, the bones are analyzed individually and compared to findings described in the literature. Based on the dentition and proportions of the lower jaw, the proportions of the humerus, the lengths of the flight finger phalanges and on the lower leg with adhered tibia and fibula, most of the bones seem to belong to small, probably juvenile, individuals of Dorygnathus banthensis. The characters of the humerus and the phalanges of the flight digit suggest that flight in Dorygnathus banthensis was possible. Furthermore, the remains of teeth yield information about the cycle of tooth replacement.
