Assessing A Model Of Customer Rage: Does Customer Entitlement Moderate Relationships Between Rage Emotions, Expressions And Behaviors?, S. Mostafa Rasoolimanesh, Martin Gannon, Babak Taheri, Josip Mikulić Dec 2025

Assessing A Model Of Customer Rage: Does Customer Entitlement Moderate Relationships Between Rage Emotions, Expressions And Behaviors?, S. Mostafa Rasoolimanesh, Martin Gannon, Babak Taheri, Josip Mikulić

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Across travel and tourism services research, studies investigating “customer rage” typically prioritize the direct point-of-consumption, often within airport, airline, or hotel contexts. However, the sector is awash with intermediaries (e.g., travel agencies, insurance brokers, booking platforms), which serve as primary points-of-contact capable of shaping customer expectations. Accordingly, the consequences of service failure therein are nuanced and complex. Yet, extant research often portrays service failure as unilateral (i.e., solely the firm in question’s responsibility), overlooking one core demand-side characteristic: the customer’s sense of entitlement. Thus, while this study draws upon the Iranian travel agency setting (as a service intermediary) to assess …

Superior Transplant Recipient Outcome Prediction And Pathology Assessment Using Rapid Deep Learning Applied To Procurement Kidney Biopsies, Joseph P Gaut, Jon N Marsh, Ling Chen, Fan Zhang, Xiaobing Yu, Parker Wilson, Ta-Chiang Liu, S Joshua Swamidass

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Evaluating the suitability of deceased organ donor kidneys relies on clinical, laboratory, and biopsy data. Pathologist quantitation of glomerulosclerosis is a critical histologic parameter used in the decision to transplant. This is an arduous task with modest reproducibility and inconsistent correlation with graft outcomes. Prior work shows that deep learning methods automate glomerulosclerosis quantitation with performance superior to on-call pathologists. Extending beyond this prior work, in this study we find that deep learning glomerulosclerosis quantitation better correlates with graft outcomes. A customized and updated deep learning model was used to analyze 691 procurement biopsies of transplanted kidneys with an average …

Spatial omics (SO) produces high-definition mapping of subcellular molecules within tissue samples. Mapping transcripts to anatomical regions requires segmentation, but this remains challenging in tissue cross-sections with tubular structures like axons in peripheral nerve or spinal cord. Neural networks could address misidentification but are hindered by the need for extensive human annotations. We present SiDoLa-NS (Simulate, Don't Label-Nervous System), an image-driven (top-down) approach to SO analysis in the nervous system. We utilize biophysical properties of tissue architectures to design synthetic images of tissue samples, eliminating reliance on manual annotation and enabling scalable training data generation. With synthetic samples, we trained …

A Multi-Factor Quantum-Resistant And Privacy-Preserving Authentication Protocol For Decentralized Systems, Ahmed Kh. Zamil, Ammar D. Jasim Dec 2025

A Multi-Factor Quantum-Resistant And Privacy-Preserving Authentication Protocol For Decentralized Systems, Ahmed Kh. Zamil, Ammar D. Jasim

Mesopotamian Journal of CyberSecurity

This paper presents a Quantum-Resistant and Privacy-Preserving Authentication Protocol (PPAP) designed for decentralized systems. PPAP integrates lattice-based cryptographic primitives, particularly Module-Lattice Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (ML-KEM), addressing both quantum computing threats and stringent privacy requirements. The protocol introduces advanced identity masking techniques and a multi-factor authentication layer employing Cheon-Kim-Kim-Song (CKKS) homomorphic encryption, enabling secure and privacy-aware authentication that supports approximate knowledge-based factors such as biometrics and handwritten signatures. Rigorous formal analysis, including cryptographic proofs and automated verification using the Tamarin Prover, validates PPAP's resilience against classical and quantum adversaries, as well as common security threats such as replay attacks, impersonation, and …

Enhancing Advanced Persistent Threat Detection With Federated Learning And Neural Networks For Secure Cloud Computer Environment, Baydaa Flayyih Hasan, Wafaa Ayoub Kassara, Bushra Raad Zahi Dec 2025

Enhancing Advanced Persistent Threat Detection With Federated Learning And Neural Networks For Secure Cloud Computer Environment, Baydaa Flayyih Hasan, Wafaa Ayoub Kassara, Bushra Raad Zahi

Mesopotamian Journal of CyberSecurity

Rapid internet expansion and global cloud storage use have heightened the risk of stealthy, persistent, multi-stage Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Distributed and resource-limited cloud environments make identifying these stealthy and dynamic threats difficult for traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs). This paper present FedNN-APT, a Federated Learning (FL) and hybrid Neural Network (NN) APT detection system to overcome these difficulties. High detection accuracy and distributed, privacy-preserving training over several cloud devices are achieved by this approach. FedNN-APT integrates Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to learn temporal and spatial APT behavior features effectively. The framework trains local models …

Content Aware Intra And Inter Prediction Using Texture And Motion Analysis, Yashaswi Karthik Reddy Danda Dec 2025

Content Aware Intra And Inter Prediction Using Texture And Motion Analysis, Yashaswi Karthik Reddy Danda

Theses

Modern video codecs rely on highly optimized block based intra and inter prediction frameworks,  in which block partitioning is determined through exhaustive rate distortion optimization (RDO)  searches. These exhaustive searches evaluate many possible block configurations to identify the  partitioning that minimizes overall rate distortion cost, and they have proven extremely effective  across diverse visual content. This thesis explores a complementary perspective by investigating  whether block partitioning can be guided more directly by content characteristics specifically,  texture complexity for intra prediction and motion complexity or motion density for inter  prediction.  For intra prediction, we introduce a texture adaptive approach that utilizes …

The Impact Of Screen Time Patterns On Digital Behaviour And Productivity: A Data Analytics Study Across Age Groups, Maytha Alshamsi Dec 2025

The Impact Of Screen Time Patterns On Digital Behaviour And Productivity: A Data Analytics Study Across Age Groups, Maytha Alshamsi

Theses

The increasing incidence of screen time of all ages has generated a greater interest in the effect of screens on the human psyche. This paper looks at behavioural data of 2, 000 individuals aged 13-64 to investigate the predictability of a composite mental- health score by various modalities of screen-time, lifestyle and psychological charac- teristics. We determine, based on exploratory statistics, multivariate regression and su- pervised machine-learned models, that in as much as the influence of total screen time and social-media consumption has significant relationships with worse mental health, the effects are small when juxtaposed to those of lifestyle and …

Fruit Characteristics Of F1 Nil Sletr1-2 Vary With Parental Background, Imas Mintarsih, Anne Nuraini, Farida, Erni Suminar, Rika Meliansyah, Syariful Mubarok

Jurnal Kultivasi

The Sletr1-2 allele, which reduces ethylene sensitivity in tomatoes, offers a promising approach to extending fruit shelf life by slowing ripening-related metabolism. However, the trait’s success depends on compatibility with the recipient cultivar’s genetic background. This study evaluated fruit characteristics of F1 near-isogenic line (NIL) hybrids carrying Sletr1-2 in the commercial backgrounds ‘Costoluto’, ‘Oxheart’, and ‘Sart Roloise’. The field trial was carried out between May and August 2024 at the Experimental Station of Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang, Indonesia, following a randomized complete block design with eight biological replicates for each treatment. The results revealed that fruit characteristics of F1 NIL Sletr1-2 …

Teaching Methods And Assessment Techniques Used For The Introductory Level Undergraduate Finance Course In British And Irish Universities Dec 2025

Teaching Methods And Assessment Techniques Used For The Introductory Level Undergraduate Finance Course In British And Irish Universities

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This study reports the results of a survey of teaching methods and assessment techniques for introductory level undergraduate finance courses in British and Irish universities and compares them with the results reported in similar studies conducted in the US and Canada. The survey results show that the most popular teaching methods in the UK and Ireland are the ‘Instructor Overhead Projector Lecture’ and ‘Instructor Computer PowerPoint Lecture’, whereas the ‘Writing-on-the-Board Lecture’ was the most common teaching method in the US and Canada. We find, as in the US and Canada, that textbook reading is the most commonly used (non-assessed) out-of-class …

Price Discrimination In College Tuition: An Empirical Case Study Dec 2025

Price Discrimination In College Tuition: An Empirical Case Study

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper looks empirically at the financial aid award practices at a small, Midwestern, private university. By awarding more financial aid, colleges and universities effectively price discriminate; that is, they charge some students more than others. The results indicate that students with better high school records and test scores and with more financial need are given more aid. Nonwhite students also receive considerably higher aid. While these results can not be generalized, this analysis should be easy to replicate at other colleges.

Impact Of Course Length On Student Learning Dec 2025

Impact Of Course Length On Student Learning

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Using a database of over 45,000 observations from Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters, we investigate the link between course length and student learning. We find that, after controlling for student demographics and other characteristics, intensive courses do result in higher grades than traditional 16 week semester length courses and that this benefit peaks at about 4 weeks. By looking at future performance we are also able to show that the higher grades reflect a real increase in knowledge and are not the result of a “lowering of the bar” during summer. We discuss some of the policy implications of our …

Extending The Pedagogical Attention Given Elasticity Of Demand In Marketing Dec 2025

Extending The Pedagogical Attention Given Elasticity Of Demand In Marketing

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Historically elasticity of demand thinking has been primarily applied to the marketing mix variable of price. However, the concept can also lend meaningful insights into the administration of the other marketing mix and environmental variables in a context of causality. There exists a rich body of literature exploring the more extensive uses of elasticity of demand. However, basic marketing texts, and presumably introductory classes, typically do not feature the wider applications of the tool. This paper explores some of the pedagogical reasons for broadening the treatment of this tool.

An Overview Of The 2005 Bankruptcy Reform Act:A Teaching Supplement

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This research provides an academic tool for filling a potential gap in education related to the importance of bankruptcy for small business owners’ financial decisions. We develop a teaching supplement that provides a critical and comprehensive analysis of the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform Act’s effect on business owners’ risk taking decisions. The supplement also provides empirical statistics on the bankruptcy outcomes for small businesses and unincorporated entrepreneurs. Renewed attention to this area should enable educators to increase students’ awareness of the rapid changes and provide a practical application for the theoretical concepts within financial economics.
