Purpose: This study analyzes the effects of variables affecting e-satisfaction and e-loyalty in e-commerce. Research design, data, and methodology: A survey was conducted to 384 Indonesia online shopping mobile application users. The questionnaire construct was designed based on several independent variables, such as application attractiveness, application functionality, and customer service on e-satisfaction and e-loyalty. E-satisfaction was positioned as an intervening variable to determine the effect on e-loyalty. Results: Application attractiveness, application functionality, and customer service shown positive effect on e-satisfaction in online shopping mobile application. At the same time, e-satisfaction also affected e-loyalty significantly as referred in previous studies. However, application attractiveness, while showed positive effect on e-satisfaction, in contrary with previous study does not showed very significant effect. Conclusion: Application functionality significantly influences users satisfaction compared to application attractiveness. E-satisfaction mediates as a factor between visual design, information access, and transaction in online shopping mobile application, which stimulates user loyalty. The study findings’ can be a reference for companies to create and maintain users’ satisfaction and loyalty via different aspects of mobile application. Further research should be conducted on other field of study as the industry has different aspects that affects user loyalty.

This paper reflects on the authors’ experiences conducting educational research in conflict-affected contexts, and the implications it holds for ethical research practices today. Critically examining ethical dilemmas encountered in research in conflict settings, the paper deepens the discussion on research ethics for working in/with participants from conflict-affected contexts. Insights are offered across different stages of a project from design to dissemination. The paper is organized into five sections: an initial section outlining the study background, methodology, and positionality of the authors. This is followed by the theoretical background. Then, six design principles for ethical research in conflict-affected contexts are presented. Next, the principles are illustrated in practice through reflecting on examples from the authors’ recent research in Afghanistan, China/Taiwan, Cyprus, Korea, and Somalia/Somaliland. Before concluding, a discussion and implications are offered. The main contribution of the paper is toward generating dialogue on ethical research practices in conflict zones, emphasizing the importance of contextual flexibility, reflexivity, and reciprocity. 본 논문은 분쟁의 영향을 받는 상황에서 교육 연구를 수행한 저자들의 다양한 경험을 통해 현행 윤리적 연구 수행을 위한 시사점을 고찰하고자 한다. 이는 분쟁 상황에서 연구 수행 중 발생하는 윤리적 딜레마를 비판적으로 검토함으로써, 해당 지역의 참여자들과의 연구 과정에서 나타나는 윤리적 고려사항을 심도 있게 논의하기 위함이다. 이를 통해 본 논문은 연구 설계부터 확산에 이르기까지 각 단계에서 얻은 통찰력을 제공한다. 본 연구는 총 다섯 부분으로 구성되어 있다. 첫 부분에서는 연구의 배경, 방법론, 저자들의 위치성에 대해 서술하고, 이어서 이론적 배경에서 분쟁 상황에서 윤리적 연구를 위한 여섯 가지 기본 원칙을 제시한다. 이 원칙들은 아프가니스탄, 중국/대만, 키프로스, 한국, 소말리아/소말릴란드에서의 저자들의 최근 연구를 통해 실제 적용 사례로 구체화된다. 논문의 마지막 부분에서는 연구 결과에 대한 토론과 시사점을 도출하며, 결론을 제시한다. 이 논문은 분쟁 지역의 윤리적 연구 수행에 있어서 맥락적 유연성, 성찰적 사고, 호혜성의 중요성을 강조하며, 윤리적 교육 연구 관행에 대한 논의를 촉진하는데 기여한다.

Objectives: This exploratory mixed-methods study explored the barriers to physical activity, daily physical activity and submaximal exercise capacity among children with and at risk for cardiomyopathy and children with atrial septal defects. Methods: The study followed a convergent parallel mixed methodology design. Semi-structured interviews explored physical activity barriers. Seven-day accelerometry assessed moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and an intermittent cardiopulmonary exercise test measured submaximal exercise capacity. Results: Twenty children, including 5 with cardiomyopathy (n=2 females, 14.2 ± 2.7 years old), 7 who were genotype-positive phenotype-negative for cardiomyopathy (n=5 females, 10.6 ± 3.3 years old) and 8 with atrial septal defects (n=4 females, 9.4 ± 3.8 years old) were recruited. Children with cardiomyopathy reported disease-specific physical activity barriers, while children who were genotype-positive phenotype-negative perceived barriers related to lack of time, parent support or activity motivation. The average daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was less than the recommended 60-minutes/day (n=20, mean 48.1 ± 18.0 minutes). Children with cardiomyopathy participated a median of 141.2 [interquartile range (IQR): 98.8) minutes of light-intensity physical activity and a median of 55.6 (IQR: 34.6) minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. The average submaximal exercise capacity was low (n=16, 25.2 ± 5.7 mL/kg/min). Estimated submaximal exercise capacity, including metabolic equivalent (4.5 ± 3.1 METs), respiratory exchange ratio (median = 1.0, IQR: 0.09) and ratings of perceived exertion (median = 7, IQR: 5) at peak exercise suggest that children with cardiomyopathy appear to have the exercise capacity to participate in low-to-moderate intensity activities. Conclusions: These novel data suggest that a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy may not preclude children from participating in a healthy, active lifestyle. However, they perceive disease-specific physical activity barriers and may require support to optimize their level of participation for optimal health.

Lexical Bundles in the Argumentative Essays of Vietnamese and American Student Writers

Kevin Parent(Kevin Parent ) 한국영어어문교육학회 2024 영어어문교육 Vol.30 No.1

This study examines lexical bundles used in argumentative writings by Vietnamese EFL university students-L2 learners and American university students-L1 learners to see how two groups use bundles and identify problems which L2 learners face. Two corpora including writings by L2 and L1 learners are collected. By using Biber et al.’s structural taxonomy (1999, 2004) and Hyland’s functional framework (2008a), we analyse the structures and functions of the four-word bundles used by the two group writings to see any differences. Compared with L1 learners, L2 learners use a wider range of bundles. Regarding structures, L2 learners overuse VP-based bundles, while L1 learners use VP, NP and PP-based bundles flexibly. For functions, L1 learners prefer to use participant-oriented bundles, while L2 learners tend to employ researchoriented bundles. The text-oriented bundles are the least commonly occurring ones in the two groups’ essays. To understand how L2 learners overuse bundles in their writings, a qualitative method is used to examine each essay. Some underlying explanations for the overuse might be side effects of teaching and lack of knowledge of the bundle. A pedagogical implication of teaching L2 learners to use bundles in writing class is suggested to help their writing more convincingly and academically.

Coining New Uses: Conversion and Polysemy as Two Sides of the Same Coin

Kevin Parent 현대영미어문학회 2023 현대영미어문학 Vol.41 No.4

Metonymy has long been studied by semanticists and other fields, but recent years have seen it garner attention in the field of word-formation and particularly the concept of conversion. This paper examines metonymy as an instrument in conversion (words having more than one syntactic form such as noun and verb) as well as polysemy (words having more than one related sense) to show that the two processes are essentially the same, differing only in where they draw novelty from: a word’s semantic properties or its syntactic properties. The two are examined separately and then in tandem, yielding a two-axis model in which metonymy operates on words. Practical implications of the model are then discussed.

Transport Connectivity and Regional Development in China

Kevin X. Li,Guanqiu Qi 인하대학교 정석물류통상연구원 2016 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS AND TRADE Vol.14 No.2

This paper examines the relationship between transport connectivity and regional economic development in China. It develops measurements appropriate for transport connectivity based on a set of evaluation models. This model is used to analyze the logistic connectivity of China’s 31 provinces by focusing on 11 variables, including some new factors (Density of road network, Density of railway network, Number of Internet Users) not used in previous studies, over the 13-year period from 2002 to 2014. Using panel data regression analysis, the empirical results show a statistically significant and positive impact of transport connectivity (factors like Density of road network, Density of railway network and Number of Internet Users) on economic development in China. In particular, the Number of internet users is a key factor reflecting information connectivity in all the variables. Comparative analysis regarding economic development is conducted to benchmark between coastal provinces and interior provinces. Like most previous research, this study yields the same finding of higher impact of transport connectivity on economic development in eastern provinces than in western provinces. This study suggests that decentralized decision-making will be significantly more efficient for analyzing regional infrastructure development. It also shows that the influence of transport connectivity on economic development is dependent on a certain developmental stage. This suggests that an economic region should adopt different development strategies for transport connectivity during different stages of development.
