Uncovering customer insights (CI) is indispensable for contemporary marketing strategies. The widespread availability of user-generated content (UGC) presents a unique opportunity for firms to gain a nuanced understanding of their customers. However, the size and complexity of UGC datasets pose significant challenges for traditional market research methods, limiting their effectiveness in this con

Objectives: To evaluate a cancer detecting artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm on serial biopsies in patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance (AS). Patients and methods: A total of 180 patients in the Prostate Cancer Research International Active Surveillance (PRIAS) cohort were prospectively monitored using pre-defined criteria. Diagnostic and re-biopsy slides from 2011 to 2020 (n
BackgroundPhoton-counting computed tomography (PCCT) enables new ways of image reconstruction, e.g. material decomposition and creation of virtual non-contrast (VNC) series with higher resolution and lower radiation dose than standard computed tomography (CT). Clinical experiences of this are limited.PurposeTo compare true non-contrast (TNC) series with VNC series derived from non-enhanced (VNCu),
Pufferfish is one of the most poisonous marine organisms, responsible for numerous poisoning incidents and some human fatalities due to its capability to accumulate potent neurotoxins such as tetrodotoxins (TTXs) and paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs). In this study, tissue extracts (muscle, skin, liver, intestinal tract and gonads) obtained from sixteen pufferfish specimens of the Lagocephalus lag
This article critically explores responses to the suffering of animals caused by industrialised agriculture aiming to reflect on broader aspects of the current state of animal politics in the 21st century. Focusing on the regulatory schemes introduced to control the welfare of animals in Denmark, the article foregrounds sites of law enforcement and industry regulation, in which animal suffering is
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common skin cancer type and affected individuals are known to be at risk of developing multiple consecutive tumours. Research into BCC multiplicity has, thus far, been challenging, due to a lack of national registration. This registry-based cohort study aimed to analyse the occurrence of multiple BCCs in Sweden, and risk factors for subsequent primary BCCs. Data reg
IMPORTANCE: An accurate blood test for Alzheimer disease (AD) could streamline the diagnostic workup and treatment of AD.OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate a clinically available AD blood test in primary care and secondary care using predefined biomarker cutoff values.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: There were 1213 patients undergoing clinical evaluation due to cognitive symptoms who were exa
Recently, their has been development of an abstract approach to the Robin--Robin method, enabling the treatment of linear and nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations on Lipschitz domains within one framework. However, previously this setting has not been applicable to initial-boundary value problems. The aim of this short note is therefore to demonstrate that this general framework can be appli
During planar motion, contact surfaces exhibit a coupling between tangential and rotational friction forces. This article proposes planar friction models grounded in the LuGre model and limit surface theory. First, distributed planar extended state models are proposed, and the elastoplastic model is extended for multidimensional friction. Subsequently, we derive a reduced planar friction model cou
Using social network theory, we measure the reputation of boards and directors based on the centrality of their respective networks. Directors commit greater effort, as measured by actual director attendance rates, to directorships they consider more prestigious. Results are robust to controlling for standard proxies of reputation as well as using alternative measures of centrality to identify pre
Viruses compete with each other for limited cellular resources, and some deliver defense mechanisms that protect the host from competing genetic parasites 1. PARIS is a defense system, often encoded in viral genomes, that is composed of a 55 kDa ABC ATPase (AriA) and a 35 kDa TOPRIM nuclease (AriB) 2. However, the mechanism by which AriA and AriB function in phage defense is unknown. Here we show
The nitrogen (N) cycle is a familiar concept. As is the much simplified, often diagrammatic, representation commonly used to illustrate the scale, importance and interconnectedness of this global cycle that links air, water, rocks and living beings. However, in this representation, humans are often presented as a seemingly minor entity or not explicitly shown at all. This can obscure the idea that
BACKGROUND: The Surprise Question (SQ) is a common method aimed at identifying frail patients who need serious illness conversations to integrate a palliative approach. However, little is known about whether the SQ identifies patients on hemodialysis who perceive that they are declining or have low health-related quality of life (HRQoL)-important aspects when considering the need for serious illne
The concept boat All Aboard was designed to meet women's expectations of leisure boats. A constellation of firms worked together to find solutions that could lead to business opportunities by challenging the implicit male norms of the leisure boat industry. This article examines the cultural notions of gender and equality that mattered in the process and explores the relationship between bodies, t
What does it mean to love one's job? This article argues that for an understanding of power and agency in the labour market, particularly in the service and retail industry, passion needs to be given more consideration. Building on ethnographic observations and interviews with sales assistants and store managers within fashion retailing, the reasons for employees to perform 'aesthetic labour' are
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts covered in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book examines how digital technologies interact with consumer society in a broad range of processes that can be termed the digitalization of consumption. It addresses the larger implications of digitalization processes for society and markets, including the social sciences, companies, co
This special issue of the Journal of Cultural Economy focuses on the digitalization of consumption and its social, cultural, ethical, political, and gendered implications. It thus answers the call for more research on how digital devices spread from the purely personal domain to multiple sociocultural domains. Through their use, new cultural practices have emerged between consumers and these devic
