Understanding the Dimensions of Customer Relationships in the Heritage Hotels in Amman, Jordan

Customer relations is an important dimension of managing heritage hotels because the visitors expect not only a good ambiance at such a hotel but also gracious hospitality and good human relationships. This paper examines the dimensions of customer relationships in the heritage hotel industry in Amman. The research employs a hypothetical deductive research model, which involves the operational definitions of the study's independent and dependent variables, and the research hypotheses. Its hypotheses were examined through the utilization of multiple regression analysis. It investigates the effect of customer connections on customer acquisition, retention, growth, and trust, using a 5-point Likert scale, with numbers ranging from strongly disagree =1 to strongly agree =5. It also measured reliability and validity, with descriptive analysis used to characterize the characteristics of the sample and the responses to the questionnaire. The hypothesis was tested using multiple regression analysis. The paper concludes that the existing body of knowledge provides valuable insights for managers in this sector to effectively execute customer relationship management strategies that align with the specific needs of the Jordanian market. This, in turn, can lead to the development of stronger customer loyalty.

The importance of the dyad: Participant perspectives on sharing biomarker results in Alzheimer's disease research.

In the asymptomatic "preclinical" phase of Alzheimer's disease (AD), abnormal biomarkers indicate risk for developing cognitive impairment. Biomarker information is increasingly being disclosed to participants in research settings, and biomarker testing and results disclosure will be implemented in clinical settings in the future. Biomarker disclosure has potential psychosocial benefits and harms, impacting affected individuals and their support person(s). Limited data are available about with whom research participants share their results, information that will be necessary to develop disclosure protocols and post-disclosure resources. Additionally, existing research has been conducted in largely White cohorts, limiting applicability to future clinical populations. We enrolled a diverse cohort of 329 adults (184 non-Hispanic White and 145 Black/African American individuals) who previously participated in AD research. After reviewing a vignette describing a hypothetical biomarker research study, participants indicated their anticipated willingness to share biomarker results with loved ones, and what reactions they anticipated from others. Using mixed-methods analysis, we identified responses related to willingness to share results. A majority (78.7%) were willing to share their results with support persons. Many (59.6%) felt it would not be difficult to share, and most (90.6%) believed their loved ones would be supportive. The most common reasons for sharing were to prepare for possible future AD (41.0% of respondents), while the most common reason for not sharing was to avoid worrying loved ones (4.8% of respondents). A total of 7.3% of respondents related reasons regarding being unsure about sharing. Participants' interest in sharing results supports integrating support persons into AD biomarker research, and may help maximize potential benefits for participants. Communicating with this "dyad" of research participant and support person(s) may improve involvement in research, and help prepare for implementation of clinical biomarker testing by clarifying communication preferences and the influence of support persons on psychosocial outcomes.

Mental health literacy and COVID-19 related stress: The mediating role of healthy lifestyle in Tabriz

IntroductionData concerning the relationship between Mental Health Literacy (MHL) and COVID-19 stress are limited. The study explored the relationship between COVID-19-related stress, MHL, and healthy lifestyle and their components. The current study aimed to investigate the moderating role of a healthy lifestyle in the relationship between MHL and COVID-19-related stress among people referring to health complexes in Tabriz. MethodsIn this descriptive-correlational study, 1011 people who referred to health complexes in Tabriz were selected using cluster sampling and responded to the COVID-19 Stress Scale (CSS), Mental Health Knowledge Questionnaire (MHKQ), and Lifestyle Questionnaire (LSQ). Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling. SPSS ver.19 and LISREL ver. 8.5 statistical software is used to classify, process, and analyze data and test research hypotheses. ResultsThe results indicated that stress caused by COVID-19 has a negative relationship with lifestyle and MHL. The relationship between lifestyle and MHL was positive, and it has the positive effect on a healthy lifestyle (with a standardized coefficient of 0.23). In addition, MHL had a negative effect on the stress related to the coronavirus (with a standard coefficient of −0.22), and the relationship between a healthy lifestyle was also negative on the stress related to the coronavirus (with a standard coefficient of −0.20). The evaluation of the hypothetical research model using fit indices showed that the hypothetical model fits the measurement model (Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.97, Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) = 0.95, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.055). All the comparative indices as well as the comparative fit index were found to be close to one and greater than 0.90. ConclusionThis study highlights that healthcare providers must develop effective preventive and therapeutic interventions to deal with COVID-19-related stress and pay attention to the issue of increasing the level of MHL during international crises taking into consideration the moderating role of a healthy lifestyle, and develop educational and treatment programs.

Forms and methods of tax control of the application of corporate income tax preferences

The control of the tax authorities over the correctness of the application of tax benefits and preferences aimed at supporting and stimulating various types of economic activity has a goal to put a barrier to possible abuses and fraud. In the process of implementing tax policy, attention should be paid to the analysis of the practice of applying and administering tax preferences established by tax legislation. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to determine the forms and methods of tax control for corporate income tax, within which the legality of the application of tax preferences is checked. The subject of the study is the tax control of the application of income tax preferences at the present stage of socio-economic development, as well as the transformation of forms and methods of tax control in the context of digitalization of the economy. The methodological basis of the study is the methodology of the system paradigm, the logical-epistemological method of cognition, the unity of structural and functional analysis of the problem. The methodological basis of the research is the ascent from the abstract to the concrete, the relationship between the general and the special, the dialectical and hypothetical research method, scientific abstraction and forecasting, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. As a result of the study, the methodology for conducting an on-site tax audit on income tax was determined, within the framework of which tax control measures are carried out to prevent abuse of preferences for this tax. The most popular trend of tax control is also identified - the digitalization of the work of tax authorities, which can lead to an increase in the number of tax revenues. In addition, in order to increase the effectiveness of tax control over the application of corporate income tax preferences, this article presents proposals regarding the rational and optimal management of income tax preferences, among which, for example, it is proposed to study the possibility of replacing some preferences with direct subsidies, which are subject to the budget control procedure, for budgetary transparency.

Exploring Factors Affecting People’s Willingness to Use a Voice-Based In-Car Assistant in Electric Cars: An Empirical Study

Voice-based digital assistants are growing in popularity and have been acknowledged as a crucial part of in-car interaction. Currently, academic attention is being paid to various voice assistant scenarios. However, sparse literature focuses on the adoption of voice assistants within the in-vehicle context. The objective of this paper is to examine key factors influencing people’s willingness to use voice assistance in electric cars. First, eight general variables were identified based on the literature review, as well as four demographic variables. These factors were then integrated to construct a hypothetical research model. After that, we carried out an empirical study to examine the structural relationships in the model based on the questionnaire survey results (N = 427). The hypothesis testing results indicated that most path relationships among variables were validated. Finally, we discussed the research findings and developed corresponding design strategies to enhance user acceptance towards in-car voice assistants, both from designers’ and car enterprises’ viewpoints. This article offers valuable theoretical and practical implications for the development of such technologies.

Leveraging Data Donations for Communication Research: Exploring Drivers Behind the Willingness to Donate

ABSTRACT Using data donations to collect digital trace data holds great potential for communication research, which has not yet been fully realized. Besides limited awareness and expertise among researchers, a central challenge is to motivate people to donate their personal data. Therefore, this article investigates which factors affect people’s willingness to donate across different platforms and data types. The study applies a multilevel approach that explains the reported willingness to donate different types of data (level 1) belonging to different platforms (level 2) from potential data donors with individual characteristics (level 3) to a hypothetical research project. The analysis is based on data collected through a national online survey (n = 833). We find higher willingness to donate YouTube data compared to Facebook, Instagram, or Google, as well as relevant influencing factors at all three levels. Greater willingness is found for lower perceived sensitivity and higher perceived relevance of the data (level of data type), greater perceived behavioral control to request and submit the data (platform level), more favorable attitudes toward data donation and the donation purpose, as well as lower contextual privacy concerns (individual level). Based on these findings, practical implications for future data donation studies are proposed.

The Influences of a Knowledge Representation Tool on Searchers with Varying Cognitive Abilities

While current systems are effective in helping searchers resolve simple information needs (e.g., fact-finding), they provide less support for searchers working on complex information-seeking tasks. Complex search tasks involve a wide range of (meta)cognitive activities, including goal-setting, organizing information, drawing inferences, monitoring progress, and revising mental models and search strategies. We report on a lab study ( N = 32) that investigated the influences of a knowledge representation tool called the OrgBox, developed to support searchers with complex tasks. The OrgBox tool was integrated into a custom-built search system and allowed study participants to drag-and-drop textual passages into the tool, organize passages into logical groupings called “boxes”, and make notes on passages and boxes. The OrgBox was compared to a baseline tool (called the Bookmark) that allowed participants to save textual passages, but not organize them nor make notes. Knowledge representation tools such as the OrgBox may provide special benefits for users with different cognitive profiles. In this article, we explore two cognitive abilities: (1) working memory (WM) capacity and (2) switching (SW) ability. Participants in the study were asked to gather information on a complex subject and produce an outline for a hypothetical research article. We investigate the influences of the tool (OrgBox vs. Bookmark) and the participant’s working memory capacity and switching ability on three types of outcomes: (RQ1) search behaviors, (RQ2) post-task perceptions, and (RQ3) the quality of outlines produces by participants.

Recruitment and retention into longitudinal health research from an adolescent perspective: a qualitative study

BackgroundHigh quality longitudinal studies investigating changes in health behaviours over the transition into early adulthood are critical. However, recruiting and retaining adolescents is challenging. This study explored adolescents’ perspectives of signing up to and continuing involvement in a hypothetical longitudinal health research study.MethodsForty-eight individuals (15-20y) participated in nine in-person focus groups about recruitment and retention in research. Participants were (a) school students in the last year of compulsory school (Year 11, 15-16y), (b) school/college students in Sixth Form (Year 13, 17-18y), (c) Further Education students studying after secondary education, but not higher education (16-18y) and (d) young adults not in education, employment, or training (18-20y) across England. Thematic analysis resulted in seven themes.ResultsDriving factors for sign-up included social connection e.g., joining with peer groups, personalised feedback, and incentives, primarily financial. Key barriers were lack of interest, the perception of commitment, and timing of recruitment. Young people preferred recruitment processes via social media with messages tailored to their motivations, monthly data collection of maximally 20–30 min, and hybrid data collection with some in-person contact with a consistent, non-judgemental researcher. The provision of autonomy, choice, and financial incentives were perceived to promote retention.ConclusionsAdolescent recruitment and retention strategies need to align with contemporary interests and motivations. Studies should involve adolescents early to develop a planned, systematic approach to participant sign-up and follow-up. Effective and ineffective recruitment and retention strategies should be reported as part of study findings. Future research should trial how perceived barriers to study engagement can be overcome.

Painting memory engram by biologically active messengers –The molecular time travel for the search of memory

Using MRI and PET methods, neuroscience has made significant progress in understanding the episodic events of the human brain under varied cognitive situations throughout the last century. However, the higher resolutions of the memory locus, which consists of a neuro-glial ensemble for episodic memory, are unclear and must be clarified. Additionally, attempts have been made to create new nano technologies for mapping complete brains and related engrams with single neuro-glial accuracy and resolution in the hopes of unlocking the secrets of the brain by delving into Brain Activity Map (BAM). This hypothetical research is the first of its kind to suggest a novel method for understanding episodic memory in mouse brains by mapping brain activity at the functional connectome (engram) level and focused on neuro-glia-ECM (Extracellular Matrix). I propose to paint the memory engram at the neuro glia-ECM canvas of the mouse brain by engineering and inserting novel "Biologically Active Messengers: Bidirectional Messengers (BM)s/ Alternative Clones (AC)s and Transcriptional/ Translational Messenger (TM)s" coupled with different colour tags into transgenic mice via Transposon and Recombination, followed by behavioural analysis and Clarity. The BMs will be produced in all neuro-glial cells via a bicistronic promoter (Neuro-glia specific promoter + Tetracycline Responsive Element) led by a tetracycline transactivator gene driven by an immediate early gene (c-Fos/ Arc), whereas the TMs will be expressed via an endogenous promoter. The viability of all constructions (BMs, ACs, and TMs) as well as the process of painting will be tested in cortical/ hippocampal culture by chemically generating long term potentiation (cLTP). Fear consolidation (Fear context and Recall by contextual cue) tests will be administered to adult transgenic mice, followed by Clarity coupled Immunostaining to investigate the neuro-glia-ECM ensemble after whole brain imaging using a Light Sheet Microscope. Finally, the steady state behaviour of normal mice will be compared to the episodic picture of a colourful painted engram. At both the functional connectome and activity levels, this holistic painting method will highlight cognition over multiple timelines of a working memory region. Bidirectional Messenger (Biological Boomerang) has huge implications in neuropsychiatric illness, generation of artificial blood, cancer treatment, and regenerative medicine in the near future, according to my intuition.

Acessibilidade do termo de consentimento na pesquisa clínica no Brasil

Abstract The informed consent form informs clinical research patients about the nature of the research and their rights, formalizing their decision to participate; however, studies show that this document is written in a complex manner, compromising patient autonomy. Two consent forms from the same hypothetical research were developed with different writing styles and analyzed by the Coh-Metrix Port tool, which evaluates linguistic metrics and textual accessibility. Results showed that both texts were complex and required high schooling level to be understood. These findings reinforce the perception that consent forms may have their real function compromised and point to the importance of changing its elaboration.

An Emergency Department Survey on Research Participation in the Patient With Suicidal Ideation or Suicide Attempt

The patient expressing suicidal ideation is a common mental health presentation in the emergency department (ED) but a notion exists that this psychiatric crisis precludes them from research participation. In order to better understand the potential research participation of suicidal patients, this study surveyed patients in the ED with suicide attempt or ideation. This was an anonymized survey study interviewing 50 patients in a tertiary care ED with a chief complaint of suicide attempt or suicidal ideation. A script was read by the research assistant regarding a hypothetical research study using ketamine to treat suicidality in the ED and asked to rate their interest in participation in the study as well as their interest in a 1-week follow-up call. Most patients (84%) reported that they would be interested in participating in this research project while 96% of all 50 patients would be interested in a follow-up phone call at 1 week. The data from this study should help other emergency medicine and psychiatry researchers advance projects in this underserved ED patient population.

The positive direct influence of leadership style on increasing organizational motivation is indicated by the value of its pathway coefficient which is P₃₁ = 0.852

Race/ethnicity and the relationship between trust in researchers and hypothetical research participation

AbstractBackgroundResearch participation by minority individuals is critical to address health disparities, and lack of trust in research/researchers (TIR) is a significant barrier to participation. Few existing studies examine the relationship between level of TIR and hypothetical research participation in a sufficiently diverse sample.MethodsThe survey was conducted among White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian community‐dwelling adults in New Jersey (N = 293 between October 2020 and January 2022). A 12‐item TIR measure based on published scales was developed with input from community partners. Respondents were also asked if they would participate in different types of research (i.e. survey, blood draw, medication study). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to identify the underlying structure of TIR. Cluster analysis on research participation was conducted to determine patterns. Regression‐based mediation analysis was done to determine relationship between race/ethnicity, TIR, and hypothetical research participation.ResultsResponses were collected from 293 adults, with 38% reporting ages of 55 years or older. Factor analysis revealed three main factors on 9‐items related to Researchers as Fiduciaries (lowest score in Chinese adults), Equity in Research (highest score in White adults), and Transparency in Research. Cluster analysis revealed two major clusters: one cluster only willing to participate in anonymous health‐related surveys, and the other highly willing to participate in studies involving blood tests and genetic analysis. Only Chinese race/ethnicity was associated with lower Researchers as Fiduciaries scores (B = ‐0.54, 95% CI‐0.85 to ‐0.23, p = 0.0007), with the mediation model (Sobel Z of ‐3.22, p<0.001, k2 = 0.13) showing a direct effect of ‐0.64 (95% CI ‐1.36 to 0.08, p = 0.08) and indirect effect of ‐0.69 (95% CI ‐1.06 to ‐0.32, p = 0.001) from Chinese race/ethnicity on participation willingness.ConclusionChinese respondents showed low trust in researchers to serve as their fiduciaries, which mediated their low willingness to participate in research involving more than health‐related surveys. All non‐White groups also endorsed inequity in treatment by researchers, but Hispanic and Black adults were still likely to be interested in minimal risk (blood draw, genetic analysis) research participation. These findings call for community‐specific approaches to enhance biomedical research participation among non‐White adults.

African Americans' intentions to share their Alzheimer’s preclinical biomarker results with loved ones in a hypothetical vignette: the importance of support persons

AbstractBackgroundLiterature on factors influencing the decision to enroll in Alzheimer’s biomarker research increasingly indicates that study partners are important to this decision. Limited research suggests participants are comfortable sharing their biomarker results within close relationships in the context of clinical trials. It is unknown how participants feel about sharing results in non‐clinical trial studies, which may be similar to future clinical settings in which risk information may be shared without an available clinical trial. Our objective was to understand whether and why prospective participants in preclinical AD biomarker studies intend to share their results. Because most preclinical biomarker research lacks adequate representation of African American and other racially and ethnically minoritized individuals, we focus our analysis on African Americans.MethodsWe enrolled African Americans (N = 145) between 46‐85 years of age from the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center Clinical Core or the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention. After hearing a vignette describing a hypothetical biomarker research study, participants indicated how likely they would be to share their biomarker results with loved ones using a 5‐point Likert scale, and then provided open‐ended responses. Using qualitative content analysis, we identified themes that motivated and discouraged sharing results.Results72% of participants were either ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ willing to share their biomarker results with loved ones. The most common reasons motivating sharing results were so that their loved ones could support them and they could prepare together; so that their loved ones could monitor participants and understand cognitive changes they might experience; and to share important information about health. 16% would share the information selectively, and 12% were ‘not at all’ or ‘a little’ willing to share, for reasons including to avoid worrying their loved ones or concern about being treated differently.ConclusionMost participants wanted to share their biomarker results within close relationships. Increased understanding of motivations for sharing results may enable stronger support for both sides of this dyad. This in turn may suggest ways to increase participation in biomarker research and inform future research aimed at preparing to translate testing and disclosure into clinical practice, particularly among African Americans.

Islamic Investment Financing and Commercial Banks Facilities: Mediation Effect of the Islamic Bank Size

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of Islamic financing on commercial banks’ credit facilities tested under the mediation of the two variables of Islamic bank size (Total asset and Investment deposit).
 Theoretical Framework: Even though studies of Islamic banking funding have been done within the Islamic economics and finance context, there has been needed to explore the effect of mediating the size of the Islamic bank and the relationship between Islamic financing and commercial banks’ credit facilities.
 Design/Methodology/Approach: We used the methodologies of Baron and Kenny (1986) and Preacher and Hayes (2008) to test a mediation effect of the Islamic bank size variable. Regarding the testing and validity of the hypothetical research model, path analysis was used within the structural equation modeling analysis. The study sample consists of 16 commercial and Islamic banks in the Jordanian banking sector, it is comprehensive of all listed banks' data in the Amman stock exchange, to the possibility of fairly generalizing the results to the community.
 Finding: Results indicate that the two variables of size indicators may partially mediate the direct effect of Islamic financing on commercial banks’ credit facilities. Such an effect is statistically significant. The findings provide practical solutions to enhancing competition in the Jordanian commercial and Islamic banking services market through various Islamic financing services to maintain and sustain banking resources.
 Research, Practical & Social implications: Future studies can consider other indicators of Islamic bank size and assess their influence on the various dimensions of the relationship between Islamic funding methodology and commercial bank facilities
 Implications/Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature on Islamic banking by analyzing the results of the effect of Islamic investment financing formulas on the commercial credit market in Jordanian banking, and it offers a practical and applied perception of the role played of the Islamic banking methodology in the Jordanian commercial credit market.

Prevalence of money laundering and terrorism financing through stock market: a comprehensive conceptual review paper

PurposeThis paper aims to provide a comprehensive conceptual framework and strong arguments with an intent to examine the stock market variables (predictors) indicating the money laundering (ML) and terrorism financing (FT) proceeds.Design/methodology/approachThis paper provides a comprehensive review of ML/FT through the stock market across developed, developing and emerging jurisdictions, sheds light on the existing literature and critically evaluates the gap in the relevant studies. Moving forward, this paper develops the conceptual framework and formulates hypotheses to explore the empirical relationship.FindingsThis paper advocates and finds a basis to carry out much-needed empirical research between the ML/FT and stock market keeping in view the growing criminal cases in the developing countries. This paper suggests mining proxies from the publically available stock market data and the results of existing seminal research as variables of the study. These data and results carry information about the ML determinants. After developing hypothetical research providing concepts, this paper also finds that using a suitable methodology, preferable Bayesian logistic and linear regression models, it is possible to find the typologies and factors that can indicate and endorse the use of the stock market for ML/FT. Broadly, it is found that the significance of this study will be two-pronged: empirical development and policy implications.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper mainly focuses on the developing region, a newly emerging market and, peculiarly, a grey-listed region by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).Practical implicationsIn light of the existing literature and to the best of the researchers’ knowledge, this study will bring into focus the new age of the action research on the ML regime in the securities markets of the developing countries, hence, the emerging markets. Moreover, this research shall have a sheer significance for the policy measures on FATF recommendations on ML and FT, especially for the countries listed as “grey”.Social implicationsThe research based on comprehensive review will help in controlling the social behaviours aiding the proceeds of ML.Originality/valueThis research is extremely novel to the best of the researcher's knowledge.
