Streaming platform and strategic recommendation bias

AbstractWe consider a platform that carries content from two upstream content providers and presents personalized recommendations to participating customers. We focus on streaming platforms in media markets, where users pay a subscription fee to join the platform but no usage fee, and consume a mix of content originating from each provider. We characterize the bias in the user‐specific recommendations offered by the platform when one content provider charges lower royalties than the other. We establish that if consumers are sufficiently insensitive to bias, the recommendation system allows the platform to credibly threaten upstream providers to steer consumers away from their content, which reduces their market power. We also investigate the effects of vertical integration by the platform and show the robustness of our results to nonlinear (personalized) streaming services.

Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma: A report of the clinicopathologic features and outcomes of 16 cases treated at a single institution.

e23500 Background: Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DCS) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the clinicopathological features and outcomes of DCS patients treated at a single institution. Methods: This study was a retrospective review over a consecutive twenty-year period. Data including treatment details and outcomes were recorded. Results: A total of 16 cases from 2000 to 2018 were reviewed. The median age was 62 years (IQR, 52-69 years) and the majority of DCS arose in the femur (50%, n = 8) and pelvis (25%, n = 4). Fourteen (88%) cases received limb salvage/wide margin resection (n = 13) or intralesional surgery (n = 1). For all DCS, the median estimated overall survival (OS) was 46 months (95% CI, 1-90 months) with both a five and ten-year survival probability of 32%. On Kaplan-Meier analysis there was no difference between operative versus nonoperative management (p = 0.747), surgery alone versus surgery/chemotherapy (p = 0.265), nor surgery alone versus surgery/chemotherapy/radiation (p = 0.698). Conclusions: Our findings confirm the poor prognosis of DCS patients, though with a five-year estimate of 32%, higher than previous literature. Together with existing literature, our data may enable future strategic recommendation of DCS patients.

Enablers and deterrents on the school-based condom availability and distribution: a scoping review

Background In an effort to decrease teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, there are discussions on the implementation of a school-based condom availability and distribution policy. However, there is a dearth of information on the extent and range of the empirical evidence supporting this policy initiative. Hence, this study aimed to identify enablers and deterrents of the program to serve as groundwork for health professionals and policy makers toward a more comprehensive adolescent program in the country. Methods A scoping review of literature based on the five-stage framework by Arskley and O’Malley was utilized in the study. Two researchers performed a comprehensive search of peer-reviewed literature through PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost and ProQUEST published from 1985 to 2016. Inclusion criteria for records were: i) Original research published in a peer-reviewed journal; ii) Focused on school-based condom availability and distribution; iii) Study participants were students in a secondary public or private schools; iv) Published in English language. Two researchers independently appraised each record against the set inclusion criteria. Likewise, independent abstraction of data from selected studies were performed. Disagreements in screening, selection, and abstraction were settled through consensus. Results A total of 2,114 records were initially screened for eligibility, of which eight met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seven of the studies were conducted in the USA and one study was carried-out in Mexico. Notably, none of the published papers originated in Asia. Four essential themes emerged that reinforces the program: i) establishment of state-level policy; ii) engagement of stakeholders and parents on public dialogue: iii) empowering activities in schools; and iv) increasing condom reach and coverage. On the other hand, four significant barriers were recognized; i) assumption that condom availability and distribution to adolescents promote sexual promiscuity; ii) lack of parental support due to religious and moral concerns and the acceptance of the students to certain programs; iii) discomfort and embarrassment felt in general by the students towards acquiring condoms in schools; and iv) structural barriers such as poor coverage and gender differences among male and female students. Conclusions These findings suggest that there have been limited studies conducted on the success and challenges of school-based condom availability program. Although study results have shown substantial benefits of the program, emergence of thematic insights relating to parental support, sexual attitude and behavior, program coverage and structural implications acted as major enablers and deterrents on condom availability and distribution program. It is crucial to recognize these existing issues to generate strategic recommendation and action for improvements of the program.

Improving the customer experience

This project was executed for ING Bank, division Retail Banking Benelux, Sub-division ‘Mortgages and Leads’. Based on consequences resulting from the financial crisis there are several new regulations that will be implemented in 2013. One of these regulations is the Provision ban on mortgage advice. This change will affect customers in their decision process when looking for mortgages. Therefore the objective of this project was to put the customer first and ease his and her mortgage orientation process in order to improve the customer’s quality perception of ING. To achieve this the focus was put on identifying how online review and rating sites currently influence customer quality perception and how these online sites can be designed in the future as new interactive service tools that in turn influence, build brand trust and recognition and put the customer quality experience first. The guiding question was: how can online review sites be used as service tools to help improve the customer journey and experience which in turn will improve the customer quality perception of ING’s mortgage advice. This question was addressed through an extensive literature review into extant articles that cover service touchpoints, customer decision journey and online review sites. Next to that a customer research shed light onto which points of the customer journey are of high impact to the decision process. The results from these inform the research question. The main findings showed that service touchpoints and support throughout the decision process have a crucial effect on the customer experience process of acquiring a mortgage. The customer will come in contact with physical and online service touchpoints that let customers infer a quality perception of the service provided and the service provider. These touchpoints should help guide a customer’s decision process through alleviating uncertainty. It was found that this was not the case with touchpoints throughout the mortgage acquisition process. Review and rating sites were found to be useful in guiding difficult decision points and help customers orient and evaluate. The best practice guidelines for such review sites advice to separate reviews into two categories that address the ‘financial mortgage product’ and the ‘mortgage service’ provided in form of call, mortgage advise, branches and websites. Customer research especially showed that there are eight main factors that influence customer decision making and perception: trustworthiness-, expertise-, independence-, intentions-, and transparency of the service provider as well as the advising party, support in the decision making process and ease of process, and finally expectations – customers want their needs to be understood and taken to heart. The objective was reached through deducing findings from literature review and customer research into strategic recommendations. The overall strategic recommendation for ING is to develop a review website with emphasis on providing the customer with expert knowledge and advice. This recommendation entails two pivotal steps. First creating an all bank review and expert site that responds to the immediate customer need of overview on financial mortgage products and mortgage services once the commission ban is implemented in 2013. Second, before step one can be implemented ING should also focus on developing a review and expert service on the ING.nl site with focus on improving the customer journey and making it more accessible through direct online customer interaction with mortgage experts and customer reviews. This service in the future can be developed to include track-and-trace mortgage process possibilities and direct online video call communication with mortgage advisors. The vision here is that the ING.nl site will develop towards providing online service for customers and guiding them through their service journey with support and guidance of mortgage expert advice.

Smart bituminous material combining anti-icing and self-healing functions using electrothermal graphene microcapsules containing oily rejuvenator

Pavement icing is a worldwide problem causing serious traffic accidents every year. Recently, new strategic recommendation is made for applying conductive pavement materials to enhance the public safety in snow and ice conditions. Under the excitation of this research background, the aim of this work was to design a smart bituminous material combining anti-icing and self-healing functions using electrothermal graphene microcapsules containing oily rejuvenator. Microcapsule particles were fabricated with an average size of 20 um and 5.0 wt% graphene. Bitumen samples with various content microcapsules (1.0–10.0 wt%) had an increasing electric conductivity trend tested using a four-point probe electrical resistivity instrument. In addition, thermal conductivity of bitumen samples had been greatly enhanced because of the existence of graphene. Anti-icing capability of bitumen samples with graphene microcapsules was sharply increased under a direct voltage (50 V) based on their ice shear force values. Self-healing efficiency of bitumen samples was evaluated by an improved mechanical properties set-up named the beam on elastic foundation (BOEF). With the effect of electrothermal energy conversion, the bitumen samples kept a higher self-healing efficiency after five healing cycles under low temperature of 0 °C. These results imply that the graphene microcapsules containing oily rejuvenator is a promise approach to realize the smart pavement combining anti-icing and self-healing functions.

Towards business partnership recommendation using user opinion on Facebook

The identification of strategic business partnerships can potentially provide competitive advantages for businesses; however, due to the dynamics and uncertainty present in business environments, this task could be challenging. To help businesses in this task, this study presents a similarity model between businesses that consider the opinions of users on content shared by businesses on social media. Thus, this model captures significant virtual relationships among businesses that are generated by users in the virtual world. Besides, we propose an algorithm for detecting business communities in the considered model. We also propose an algorithm to identify possible business outliers in the detected communities, which could represent an automatic way to identify non-obvious relations that might deserve particular attention of business owners. By exploring approximately 280 million user reactions on Facebook, we show that our results could favor the development of, for example, a new strategic business partnership recommendation service.

Role of Crop Modeling in scenario Development Analysis and Developing Strategic Recommendation: A Review

The agricultural scientists and planners are facing formidable challenges to ensure continued increases in agricultural productivity to meet the food grain requirements of ever increasing population across the globe. Thus, the works on development and use of crop growth models to answer strategic and tactical questions concerning agricultural planning as well as on-farm soil and crop management are essential. Scenarios is a tool for evaluating decisions and testing policy options by indicating possible future situations which indicate the possible effects of decisions. Crop growth models are powerful tools in agricultural decision support at operational, strategic and exploratory levels. Models through the scenario analysis system plays an important role in the interface between farmers, researchers and advisors in participatory research approaches where as agricultural research, model development and testing, and application of mode-based decision support system can be mutually enhancing for better understanding and reaction future situations. This review paper is devoted to crop modeling and scenario development for planning and field level management options in crop production. This helps researchers to understand the role of crop modeling for scenario development to adjust and develop field level recommendation by considering future conditions and developing alternative strategic decisions to reduce the expected negative impact and maximize the benefit.

Streaming Platform and Strategic Recommendation Bias

We consider a streaming platform which carries content from various upstream content providers. Participating customers face personalized recommendations from the platform and consume a mix of content originating from each provider. We analyze when the platform uses its personalized recommendation system to steer consumers from one content provider to another. We establish the conditions under which the recommendation system allows the platform to credibly threaten upstream providers to steer consumers away from their content in order to reduce their market power. We find that the streaming platform can increase its profit by reducing the royalty rate it pays to content providers through the use of a recommendation system which is strategically biased in favor of the cheaper content.
