Full textAbstract:
Purpose Leisure and tourism activities have proliferated and become important parts of modern life, and the hotel industry plays a necessary role in the supply for and demand from consumers. The purpose of this paper is to develop guidelines for hotel service development by applying a service development approach integrating Kansei engineering and text mining. Design/methodology/approach The online reviews represent the voice of customers regarding the products and services. Consumers’ online comments might become a key factor for consumers choosing hotels when planning their tourism itinerary. With the framework of Kansei engineering, this paper adopts text mining to extract the sets of Kansei words and hotel service characteristics from the online contents as well as the relationships among Kansei words, service characteristics and these two sets. The relationships are generated by using link analysis, and then the guidelines for hotel service development are proposed based on the obtained relationships. Findings The results of the present research can provide the hotel industry a comprehensive understanding of hotels’ customers opinions, and can offer specific advice on how to differentiate one’s products and services from competitors’ in order to improve customer satisfaction and increase hotels’ performance in the end. Finally, this study finds out the service development guidelines to meet customers’ requirements which can provide suggestions for hotel managers. The implications both for academic and industry are also drawn based on the obtained results. Originality/value Now, in the internet era, consumers can comment on their hotel living experience directly through the internet. The large amount of user-generated content (UGC) provided by consumers also provides chances for the hospitality industry to understand consumers’ opinions through online review mining. The UGC with consumers’ opinions to hotel services can be continuously collected and analyzed by hoteliers. Therefore, this paper demonstrates how to apply the hybrid approach integrating Kansei engineering and online review mining to hotel service development.

Full textAbstract:
High-performance computational resources and artificial intelligence-based tools can enhance tourism research and marketing. However, a formal methodological approach using digital technologies in this field is still missing. This research work presents the preliminary results of defining an integrated computational methodology in tourism research and marketing. In addition, the paper aims to provide guidelines for a methodological approach leveraging technological resources and Big Data. The proposed research method is based on online User-Generated Content (UGC) analysis through a psychographic approach based on the Big Five Model, Sentiment Analysis, and Machine Learning techniques. The study is supported by high-performance computing resources, artificial intelligence-based tools, and open-source Python-based software for data collection, text analysis, and psychographic attribution. Results show a remarkable performance of the BFF prediction model and confirm the role of personality in the tourists’ decision-making and appreciation of a site. Future developments of this project involve using the acquired structured dataset labeled with sentiment and psychographic attribution to create a further prediction model on tourist segments and appreciation as part of a marketing strategy in tourism management. Future research should push forward the development of further integrated and performing computer-based methodology in tourism research and marketing, leveraging the massive amount of data and the potential of high-performance computing techniques. The main contribution of this research effort is twofold: the definition of a general-purpose BFF/Sentiment Analysis methodology and the development of a prediction model from online UGC based on the Big Five personality traits in the tourism research scenario.

Full textAbstract:
The global shift towards degree apprenticeships, exemplified by the University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, addresses the imminent challenges posed by the projected rise in the working-age population in India by 2030. This change underscores the critical need for a comprehensive scale to assess administrators' perceptions and attitudes towards implementing the Apprenticeship Education Degree Programme (AEDP). Addressing this gap, the present study aims to develop the Administrators' Perception and Attitude Scale towards Apprenticeship Programme (APAS-TAP), a context-specific scale tailored to the unique nuances of the Indian educational landscape. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design, selecting 180 administrators through purposive sampling from schools, colleges, and universities in West Bengal, India. The APAS-TAP underwent rigorous development and testing, involving expert panels for content validity assessment using the content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) determined the latent variables of APAS-TAP, while Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) evaluated construct validity, and Cronbach's alpha ensured internal consistency. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique examined the research model, and the goodness-of-fit (GoF) index assessed the model's appropriateness. The CVI and CVR values surpassed acceptable thresholds (CVI > 0.78 and CVR > 0.75). Internal consistency, indicated by Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.951), signified high reliability. The GoF index (CMIN/DF = 2.981) validated the model's appropriateness. The APAS-TAP emerges as a valid and reliable tool, providing crucial insights into administrators' perceptions and attitudes towards AEDP in the 'Rarh region' of West Bengal, India. Stakeholders can leverage this scale to identify gaps and enhance the quality of training, awareness, breadth, assessment, learning outcomes, quality management, and truthfulness in the context of AEDP. This study contributes significantly to the field by providing a robust scale for future research and policy development.

Full textAbstract:
In the Web2.0 era, user-generated content (UGC) provides a valuable source of data to aid in understanding consumers and driving intelligent business. Text mining techniques, such as semantic analysis and sentiment analysis, help to extract meaningful information embedded in UGC. However, research on text mining of UGC for e-commerce business applications involves interdisciplinary knowledge, and few studies have systematically summarized the research framework and application directions of related research in this field. First, based on e-commerce practice, in this study, we derive a general framework to summarize the mainstream research in this field. Second, widely used text mining techniques are introduced, including semantic and sentiment analysis. Furthermore, we analyze the development status of semantic analysis in terms of text representation and semantic understanding. Then, the definition, development, and technical classification of sentiment analysis techniques are introduced. Third, we discuss mainstream directions of text mining for business applications, ranging from high-quality UGC detection and consumer profiling, to product enhancement and marketing. Finally, research gaps with respect to these efforts are emphasized, and suggestions are provided for future work. We also provide prospective directions for future research.

Full textAbstract:
With the rapid development of social e-commerce, content-based social e-commerce platforms have become one of the main channels for consumers to obtain information. And this social e-commerce platform relies on user generated content to convey valuable information to users. The relationship between user generated content and user purchase intention is still a question worth exploring. This article starts from an empirical perspective and studies the mediating variables between UGC text features and consumer purchase intention in social e-commerce platforms. Based on speech act theory (SAT) and receptor stimulus response theory (SOR), research hypotheses are proposed, with perceived value, perceived risk, and perceived interest as mediating variables. By using AMOS to construct a structural effects equation for verification, it is concluded that UGC text features can positively affect perceived value, perceived risk, perceived interest, and have an effective impact on purchase intention.

<em>With the growing availability of user-generated contents (UGC), such as discussion forums, blog sites, Internet forums and social networks, public have multiple ways to mention their reviews, comments and make them available to everybody. Publicly open opinions provide valuable data for decision-making processes. Therefore, the computational treatment of sentiment and opinions has been regarded as a challenging field of research that can serve diverse purposes. In this, the various methods of mining in multiple ways such as web and data mining are used to retrieve data from web sites and to optimize we need to go through the queries of data mining. </em> <em>The proposed development of Opinion Mining is fundamentally intended to develop a system where users can get an optimized result for the different opinions on different products or services available on different e-commerce websites. This project mainly deals with evaluating different opinions so that we can get a quick idea of different views expressed by different users. Here, the data mining concepts are used which mainly deals with mining the UGC from different e-commerce websites which are being used in our daily routine life and after we extract the required UGC we need to prepare the definite opinion result using different data mining techniques.</em>

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, with the development of information technology and the transformation of China's online economy, a large number of e-commerce platforms have emerged rapidly. Xiaohongshu, a community + e-commerce platform that allows young internet users to share and exchange information as well as make purchases, was launched. Relying on a differentiated competitive strategy, the platform has managed to accumulate a large amount of user traffic in a short period. This paper uses Xiaohongshu as a case study to analyze the differentiated competitive strategy of this UGC+ e-commerce platform. Through a comprehensive survey, summary, and induction, this paper provides a fine analysis of Xiaohongshu's differentiated competition and current competitive advantages in China and makes reasonable recommendations. Through the study, it was found that Xiaohongshu is deeply engaged in the UGC shopping sharing community, continuously integrating content community and e-commerce modules, strong word-of-mouth marketing, and unique product positioning to pave the way for its sustainable competition in the later stage. In addition, for this paper also the platform made two recommendations to enhance its competitive advantage in the future: continuously maintain the platform's innovation capability; develop a de-feminization strategy.

Full textAbstract:
Literary education and language education are connected by a relationship of mutual exchange. On the one hand, without the mastery of appropriate language skills it is impossible to grasp the complexity of literary works. On the other, improving language competence is one of the multiple aims of literary education. Moreover, considering the current multicultural dimension of the Italian school system, teaching literature from an intercultural perspective provides an opportunity to foster the development of relational skills while discussing the meaning of the works. In this scenario, we explore the state of the art of literary education and the teaching of literature in Italy and we consider their implications with language education, intercultural education, and intercultural communication. Furthermore, we present both a model of literary and intercultural communicative competence and a hermeneutic and relational method, also aimed at improving language acquisition and promoting intercultural awareness. In our view, literary and intercultural communicative competence makes it possible to communicate effectively in events where the language is spoken in order to understand literary texts, to identify the original meanings, to discuss their significance from the students’ current perspective, and to formulate critical judgements. The aim of the volume is to offer content and methodological resources for the teaching of literature that can impact positively on the development of language and relational skills. Thus, we draw up some guidelines aimed at increasing students’ motivation for studying the works, fostering their active participation and allowing literature to preserve its educational function.

This chapter looks at the purpose and history of the development of good clinical practice (GCP). The international conference on harmonisation (ICH) GCP is the international quality standard for conducting clinical research to ensure the rights and well-being of patients are protected and the resulting data are valid. The cornerstone of ethics in research stems from the Declaration of Helsinki and the chapter looks at the changes in the Declaration and the impact on clinical trials. The development of the ICH process is described and the E, S, Q and M guidelines are discussed, The efficacy guidelines affect the practical aspects of trials and the efficacy guideline number 6 (E6) is on GCP. The content of the E6 guidelines is reviewed including the responsibilities of ethics committees, investigator and sponsor. Documentation requirements including the Protocol and Investigator Brochure as well as all the other documents are outlined. The guidelines are written to be interpreted and companies and institutions have to document their interpretation using standard operating procedures (SOPs). Although ICH GCP is regarded as the world-wide standard it sits alongside countries' legislation. In Europe CTIMPs have to follow the EU Directives and Regulation. Non pharmaceutical/non interventional healthcare research has no legal requirements to adhere to ICH GCP and is carried out under different research governance frameworks (RGF), however they all have their principles based on ICH GCP. The chapter also discusses the definition of an IMP and the decisions and processes that have to be followed when conducting non CTIMP studies.

User-generated content (UGC) is becoming common in wine tourism. People create texts, videos, and pictures to share online and inform others about their experiences at wine destinations. UGC, coupled with managerial creativity and innovation, are essential to the growth of wineries as they offer insights into tourists' tastes and preferences, enhance brand awareness and reach and build trust between visitors and wine destinations. As popular wine tourism destinations, TripAdvisor comments published by tourists who visited Portugal, New Zealand, and the United States were copied and examined using Power BI and Orange. The wine industry commands a significant market value, while wine tourism is a substantial component of economic development in wine-producing countries. Also, the study revealed some tourists prefer to keep their identities hidden during online reviews. Seasonality is another issue that affects tourist destinations globally. The study concluded wine tourists will travel either domestically or abroad to wine destinations that offer the best services and experiences.

An e-Business standard is a technical specification that provides a shared understanding and agreement on the shared information and data among trading partners. Standards are usually developed in a standards development organisation, where a guideline for the process of developing standards is provided. However, these guidelines are mainly concerned with the administrative aspect of the standardisation process, and there is a lack of practical technological support for developing the content of a standard specification. This chapter reviews the characteristics of e-Business standards and their development process and presents OntoStanD, a novel, comprehensive, ontology-based collaborative standards development methodology. OntoStanD is then applied on ebXML business process specification schema to demonstrate the application of OntoStanD.

Full textAbstract:
During the last decades, the use of Web 2.0 applications for the generation, dissemination, and sharing of user-generated content (UGC) and the creation of new value added services are enormous. Web 2.0 tools have tremendously changed the way people search, find, read, gather, share, develop, and consume information, as well as on the way people communicate with each other and collaboratively create new knowledge. UGC and Web 2.0 are also having a tremendous impact not only on the behaviour and decision-making of Internet users, but also on the e-business model that organizations need to develop and/or adapt in order to conduct business on the Internet. Organizations responsible to market and promote cities on the Internet are not an exception from these developments. This chapter aims to inform city tourism organizations responsible for the development of city portals about (a) the use of the major Web 2.0 tools in tourism and their impact on the tourism demand and supply; and (b) the ways and practices for integrating the use of Web 2.0 into their e-business model and e-marketing practices.

Full textAbstract:
Poor integration of pedagogical and technological learning elements within teaching and learning methodologies may have substantial impacts on the effectiveness of learning. Although educational institutions are improving their courses, teaching and learning methodologies and assessment strategies with tailored approaches, their efforts at improvement tend to focus narrowly on academic results. The authors believe that educational courses should give priority to educational goals and labour market expectations (industrial companies’ requirements) in devising the methodology of teaching and learning. The technology based learning system has a capability to comply with diverse requirements as mentioned. The purpose of this paper is to develop an extended information quality framework to measure the effectiveness of e-learning content for technology based learning system for engineering education courses (EECs) in Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) in Bahrain. The model incorporates the requirements of educational goals (TVE goals) and modern industrial needs and integrates these with existing information quality frameworks. The extended model incorporates pedagogical and technological elements, is consistent with the educational objectives and industrial requirements, and can be used as guidelines for measuring the effectiveness of e-learning packages delivered in EECs.

The purpose of this study was to determine the conformance levels of government websites in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and examine which macro factors influenced the accessibility these websites. The findings indicated that the majority of government websites in SSA still had a long way to go to become accessible based on the WCAG 2.0 standards. None of the 217 government websites examined adhered to all the WCAG 2.0 guidelines. Cross country analysis showed that there are three macro factors influencing e-government accessibility in SSA, namely Human Development Index (HDI), Corruption Perception Index (CPI), and percentage of the active population (15-64 years). Countries with high HDI levels and low CPI levels tend to have websites with fewer accessibility errors, while those for countries with high percentage of the active population have more accessibility errors.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter discusses the management of institutional repositories (IR) in developing countries. It starts with the introduction of the concept of institutional repositories and its origin. Various definitions of institutional repositories are highlighted. The chapter goes further to discuss the features of institutional repositories such as infrastructure, hosted service, customer support, content organization and control, content discovery, publication tools, reporting, multimedia, social features and notifications, and so on. It further analyses vital issues in management of institutional repositories. Peculiar issues in open access for developing countries are also identified and discussed. The chapter covers the roles of libraries and librarians in the management of institutional repositories; the roles include collection development and management, software acquisition and training, formulation of guidelines for standard metadata and catalogue system, assessment of submission for standard and quality, persuading authors to contribute their intellectual works, enlightenment on copyright issues, information literacy in the use of institutional repositories, promotion and marketing of institutional repositories. The chapter further highlights the challenges and intervention strategies in the management of institutional repositories in developing countries; it enumerates the challenges to include: personnel and technical staff, ICT equipment and infrastructure, lack of awareness and advocacy, inadequate funding, poor policy guidelines, poor power supply, open access, software, copyright law and inadequate internet bandwidth. Based on these, the chapter recommends that an aggressive enlightenment programme should be carried out from time to time; developing countries and their higher institutions should wake up to their responsibilities by formulating policies on institutional repositories (IR); developing countries should also come together to form consortia in the areas of software selection and deployment for institutional repositories. Management of institutions in these countries should make funds available for the smooth running of their institutional repositories, and so on. The chapter concludes with the need for academic institutions and their libraries to pay more attention to the funding and development of institutional repositories in order to provide more effective and efficient access to digital information services to the global academic community.

Web content should suit both a general audience and visually-impaired individuals. Therefore, Web applications should be assessed against accessibility standards as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the Brazilian e-Government Accessibility Model (eMAG). This chapter presents MIAV's development process and the obtained results. The MIAV complies with the WCAG and eMAG, combining automated and user-opinion-based assessment approaches. First, a pilot test was run to fine-tune MIAV. Next, participants were asked to identify and report several accessibility issues on IFFluminense's Portal, Q-Academico, and Moodle. They then suggested enhancements for better browsing experience. AccessMonitor was run and tested the same Web pages to generate two indicators: the average accessibility index and the percentage of nonconformities by accessibility level. Results showed that none of the evaluated applications met all the accessibility criteria. These experiments allowed IFFluminense's IT degree students to raise an awareness of the significance of Web accessibility.

Automatically dealing with Natural Language User-Generated Content (UGC) is a challenging task of utmost importance, given the amount of information available over the web. We present in this paper an effort on building tokenization and Part of Speech (PoS) tagging systems for tweets in Brazilian Portuguese, following the guidelines of the Universal Dependencies (UD) project. We propose a rule-based tokenizer and the customization of current state-of-the-art UD-based tagging strategies for Portuguese, achieving a 98% f-score for tokenization, and a 95% f-score for PoS tagging. We also introduce DANTEStocks, the corpus of stock market tweets on which we base our work, presenting preliminary evidence of the multi-genre capacity of our PoS tagger.

Abstract This paper addresses the limitations of P92 steel used in ultra-supercritical power plants, particularly ferrite formation in thick components and its impact on short- and long-term properties. A guideline for determining ferritic content in P92 steel is presented. Furthermore, a novel 12% Cr boiler steel grade, VM12-SHC, is introduced. This new material offers good creep properties and oxidation resistance, overcoming the limitations of P92 steel. Finally, the development of matching filler metals for welding P92 and VM12-SHC steels is presented, ensuring optimal weld compatibility and performance in power plant applications.

E-learning becomes a widely used form of educational service provided with or without teacher's support as a pre-study, main course, self-study support, or refreshment. A variety of course development tools, simple and free, or sophisticated and costly, are available for course development. Together with didactic-supported methodology and guidelines for learning content development, these instruments ensure a pedagogical quality of the resulting course. If a course development tool produces a learning content according to the SCORM standard [], it enables its usage as a whole or by some components - learning objects - by a large audience, i.e. those who can access it from a SCORM-compliant learning management system. Reusability, i.e. a capacity of being applied in various contexts, is an important feature for raising efficiency of learning content production and its ROI. So far, SCORM as a technical standard ensured technical side of reusability, whereas a didactically meaningful combination of the learning object was a responsibility of a course designer. Steady growth of users going on-line from their mobile devices - phones, smartphones, tablets, e-books - pushes mobile content development. Mobile learning research matured, growing from small sessions and workshops to an individual trend, resulting in a number of big international conferences. The research in m-learning emphasizes on its innovative and informal aspects, highlighting new learning activities and scenarios, enabling creativity, interaction and collaboration [ ]. Rough summary of m-learning could be visualized as isolated islands of innovative learning experiences, together with early pilots on mobile access to the web-based learning content and studies of basic content features accessible across various mobile platforms. Although some attention has been paid to the "legacy" content and its transfer to the mobile-accessible format, this issue has been addressed solely from a technical viewpoint. Thus, the quality of the resulting mobile learning was not a subject of study, and the differences in e-learning and m-learning environments were not addressed. This study is intended to extend the understanding of the reusability concept beyond technical solutions and emphasize on the value of didactically sound content in a similar way it is done by the Learning Design []. The ultimate goal may be seen in providing some guidelines for transformation of e-learning course to its m-learning version ensuring the preservation didactical quality. The purpose of this paper is to identify differences between e-learning and m-learning environments, and explore factors that may influence the quality of the e-learning content delivered in m-learning environment using a language course as an example. Khan's e-learning framework [ ] was selected as an instrument for the learning environment analysis. The proposed framework comprises eight dimensions, along which factors influencing the quality of the e-learning environment under study are analyzed. Since its introduction, the framework has been applied to various large-scale and small-scale environments. The language learning content is represented by the ELTEC - a self-study language course [ ] which is intended for enhancement of the professional tasks-oriented language skills. The course is highly interactive though some learning activities are preceded by the explanations and illustrations. Comparison of language learning activities within e-learning and m-learning environments led to some guidelines for creation of mobile version of the ELTEC. It was concluded that due to the environment differences and specifics of the mobile devices the course should be re-organized before being transformed to the mobile version, preserving the purpose but re-defining learning objectives.

National Board of Accreditation, India has become the signatories of the Washington Accord adopting outcome based education guidelines in order to impart the quality education in engineering institutes [14]. Outcome Based education (OBE) requires thorough assessment and evaluation of the students individually, with special focus on the overall development of the students. OBE is based more on student centric learning and less on the role of a faculty or the content part (taught) which requires modifications at grass root level in the University teaching learning scheme. It demands a transition of a lecturer into a facilitator. It also requires a paradigm shift in teaching learning process in engineering education (EE) system as OBE focuses more on development of all the three learning domains, contradictory to the traditional teaching learning process which focuses more on development of the cognitive domain and psychomotor domain only. According to the World Bank Report, the modern volatile and complex world demands from the engineers the core employability skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and innovation, collaboration skill, communication skill which must be developed and honed during the course tenure so that they could become competent global engineers [2] [3]. This paper brings forth the out of box thinking and implementation concept of the OBE for UG program, through activity based students’ engagement, specially designed activity to achieve Programme Educational Outcomes (PEOs), Programme Outcomes (POs) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). It intends to solve the problem of large classes through the implementation of the FLIP classroom model. A six month activity based teaching learning model had been adopted for different streams, involving more than 1500 engineering students. The outcome/s achieved by each activity had been termed as Activity Outcomes (AOs). This paper discusses the problems encountered during the implementation of OBE frame work for large class [4] in context with Indian environment and also strives to provide some methods to implement activity based learning to achieve desirable outcomes.

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">With the trend of increasing technological complexity, software content and mechatronic implementation, there are increasing risks from systematic failures and random hardware failures, which is to be considered within the scope of functional safety. ISO 26262 series of standards provides guidance to mitigate these risks by providing appropriate requirements and processes. To develop a safe product with respect to above mentioned complexities, it is very critical to develop a safe system and hence a thorough and robust “Technical Safety Concept” is very important to ensure absence of unreasonable risk due to hazards caused by malfunctions of E/E systems. ISO26262-Part 4 provides guidelines for “Product development at the system level”, to design safety-related systems that include one or more electrical and/or electronic (E/E) systems and that are installed in series production road vehicles. Defining requirements at system level for each individual technology and systematically integrating them for product validation is necessary for safe system and can be achieved by Technical Safety Concept development. ISO 26262 does not prescribe a specific methodology for Technical Safety Concept development; it provides general principles for ensuring safety in automotive systems. A well-crafted Technical Safety Concept plays a pivotal role in ensuring safety and minimizing risks throughout the product development lifecycle. In an iterative process, the Technical Safety Concept is developed incorporating Technical Safety Requirements and the System architectural design. The Technical safety requirements form the basis for deriving the hardware and software safety requirements that are then used by engineering teams for developing a safe product. This paper focuses on writing an effective TSC to avoid iterative system design changes at later stages, thereby saving on re-engineering costs. It also describes the process of developing a TSC and the practical challenges encountered during projects. Our findings highlight that a well-developed TSC not only ensures safety but also significantly reduces the need for costly design changes later in the development process. By addressing practical challenges and providing a structured approach, this paper offers valuable insights for developing an improved version of TSC.</div></div>
