Social Media Firestorms: How Does Observing Customer-To-Customer Incivility Affect Consumers’ Brand Evaluation And Behavioral Intentions?, Tyson Ang
Faculty Research Day
Project Description: Brands increasingly engage customers through social media platforms. However, just like human, brands too can make mistake when interacting with customers. The higher the engagement, the higher the chance of brands committing mistakes. These mistakes tend to be amplified in the context of social media, which may eventually lead to a firestorm against the brand. Social media firestorm refers to a sudden, rapid discharge of large quantities of intensely negative messages against a brand. Even more concerning is that these firestorms are usually accompanied by uncivil interactions between customers who have opposing views on the issue at …
Artificial Intelligence For Cybersecurity: A Review, Tung Cu
Artificial Intelligence For Cybersecurity: A Review, Tung Cu
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
The next generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are increasingly incorporated in cybersecurity solutions. Experts predict that, over time, companies will incorporate AI into every cybersecurity product portfolio. While AI and ML increase the defenders’ capability to detect and prevent abnormal behavior patterns, attackers are also using AI and ML to learn about a target’s vulnerabilities and launch attacks. The purpose of this study is to conduct a literature review on a series of original research papers, both theoretical and empirical, to identify current challenges and issues of AI aid, misuse and threat in cybersecurity in different …

Access To Finance And Innovation In Small And Medium Enterprises, Huong (Anne) Le
Access To Finance And Innovation In Small And Medium Enterprises, Huong (Anne) Le
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
This paper examines the relation between a firm’s capacity to access external capital and its innovation among SMEs in Vietnam. We find that SMEs with high debt ratio tend to be more innovative. After controlling for several firm characteristics, long term debt remains significantly positively correlated with innovation. We further show that both bank loans and loans from family and friends help these firms innovate, especially in developing new products and/or technology. Overall, our paper suggests that external financing plays an important role in enhancing innovation in small and medium enterprises.

Post-Implementation Analysis Of The Impact Of Intravenous Automation Systems On Health-System Pharmacy Operations, Craig Kimble, Ken Maxik, Chris Booth, Michael Rudolph, Kim Broedel-Zaugg
Faculty Research Day
We have all seen the reports on the news about issues related to IV rooms and IV room compounding. Many health-system pharmacies have implemented, or are considering some form of intravenous (IV) automation and/ or compounding system in their clean rooms to reduce pharmacy errors and improve accuracy, productivity, and workflow. Manufacturers tout that automated systems, used appropriately, aid in reducing errors from reaching patients. Additionally, IV admixture automation is one of the most recent areas where technology has been added to pharmacy workflow.

The Influence Of Time Horizon On The Hedge Fund Performance Persistence, Izabela Pruchnicka-Grabias
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
The author shows the main characteristics of hedge funds and analyzes persistence of rates of return generated by them. The aim of the paper is to check if there exists any persistence of rates of return and if so, if there are any differences in different periods of time. The paper proves that the existence of rates of return persistence decreases together with the extension of the time horizon. It suggests that long-term investing in hedge funds is linked to high risk levels. One reason is that their rates of return are not described by normal distribution features. The second …

Silver Economy: A Selected Issues From European Perspective, Anna Szelagowska
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
An ageing society is inseparable element of the health economy. In 2018, nearly one fifth (19.7%) of the EU population and 9.0% of world population was aged 65 and more. As a result, the proportion of people of working age in the EU-28 is shrinking while the relative number of those retired is expanding. The share of the population aged 65 years and over is increasing in every EU Member State. According to the United Nations by 2050, one in four persons living in Europe and Northern America could be aged 65 or over. Having in mind the rapidly aging …

Product Designs That Enchant, Transform, And Endure, Garo Agopian
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
For many reasons – sustainability, product aesthetics, market demand for authenticity – there appears to be growing interest in classic products, products that are owned for a long time and stay on the market a long time. This is a conceptual paper which investigates these questions: What is classic art? What are classic product designs? What learning can be applied from classic art and classic product designs to new product designs? Art historians argue that classic art endures because its meanings constantly evolve. This paper reviews the semantic evolution of a classic novel, and the evolution of a classic product, …

Faculty Research Day
Project Description: Cause-related marketing refers to a company’s social initiative in which the company donates a specified amount to a chosen cause in response to every purchase the consumers made. Many multinational corporations (MNCs) have used cause-related marketing as a strategy to improve their brand image and positioning in the global market. However, what makes cause-related marketing effective in the international market is not well understood. Drawing on social impact theory, this project uncovers the factors that affect the effectiveness of cause-related marketing strategy in the global market context.

Addressing The Challenges Of Uncertainty Affecting Last-Mile Distribution In Disaster Relief, Robert A. Cook, Emmett Lodree
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
The study of Disaster Relief has received increasing attention for the better part of 20 years, and particularly in the wake of high-visibility storms like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, there is little need to provide justification for the field as an area of interest. This presentation will summarize an ongoing effort to study one particular aspect of Disaster Relief, namely last-mile distribution in the face of uncertain supply. This body of work forms the bulk of my dissertation which I completed last year along with my co-author and mentor Dr. Emmett Lodree, a full Professor at the University of Alabama.

Alternative Energy Generation And Its Economic Impact On Developing Countries: A Case Study Of Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, And Northern Macedonia, Ruzhdi Matoshi, Isa Mulaj
UBT International Conference
Energy as a comprehensive source of economic development has undergone transformation and is evolving into alternatives. Due to the concerns about pollution, energy generation is constantly seeking an alternative that is friendly to the environment, or at least with substantial lower harmful effects. This effort involves costs of investment, especially in developing countries. Investment in alternative, cost efficient and friendly environment energy is no longer the sole isolated objective of a country, thus it may involve several countries, especially neighboring ones to coordinate their efforts. This paper looks into the state and prospects of alternative energy in four small developing …

Hadamard's Coding Matrix And Some Decoding Methods, Hizer Leka, Azir Jusufi, Faton Kabashi
UBT International Conference
In this paper, we will show a way to form Hadamard's code order n=2^p (where p is a positive integer) with the help of Rademacher functions, through which matrix elements are generated whose binary numbers {0,1} , while its columns are Hadamard's encodings and are called Hadamard's coding matrix. Two illustrative examples will be taken to illustrate this way of forming the coding matrix. Then, in a graphical manner and by means of Hadamard's form codes, the message sequence encoding as the order coding matrix will be shown.
