This study is an exploration of the shift from standard definition (SDTV) to high-definition (HDTV) on television newscasts in the United States. This paper examines how this major historic shift affected the thinking, behavior, and trends of female newscasters when using makeup to see what themes arose. Despite the ubiquity of female newscasters, academic research into the influence of HD broadcasting and makeup appearance is limited. Due to this lack of information, the present study provides a cultural approach to examining historical information about this switch. News West 9 broadcasted in Midland-Odessa and interviews to a female newscaster, a news director, and a makeup artist who experienced this shift are utilized to address the historical issues facing high-definition broadcasting during this time.

This chapter introduces the innovation of television by looking at the development of high definition television (HDTV). It argues that the way that the interaction of technological, industrial, and political actors has been crucial in several stages of the development of this innovation. Central question is how industry, broadcasters, and consumers have debated and defined a medium and consequently redefine a medium through innovations. The complexity and the way actors have played a part within the changing media environment is analyzed by looking at the necessity for technological change of the television standard, by relating the media film and television in transition from analogue to digital and by studying case studies of political debates and policy in Europe and the United States.

In 2004, a nationwide survey of chestnut (Castanea spp.) producers in the United States was conducted. Results show that the U.S. chestnut industry is in its infancy. The majority of chestnut producers have been in business less than 10 years and are just beginning to produce commercially. Volume of production is low (<1.5 million lb). U.S. chestnut producers are mainly part-timers or hobbyists with small, manually harvested operations. The majority of respondents sell fresh chestnuts. Demand exceeds supply, and prices often exceed $3.50/lb. Barriers to success in the chestnut business include the lack of information for producers, retailers, and consumers, 5- to 10-year time lag to get a return on investment, and shortage of available chestnut nursery stock of commercial cultivars. There are also concerns related to pest and disease control and market uncertainties. Lengthy quarantines for cultivars from other countries and lack of chemicals registered for use with chestnuts can also be considered barriers to success. Chestnut grower associations, universities, and state and federal agencies must join their efforts to fund and support chestnut research and industry development.

This paper examines how customers view a set of hybrid services (eleven generic and self-service technologies) in the U.S. and China. The data are collected using questionnaires on location in the U.S. and China and are analyzed using multidimensional scaling. The study indicates that two dimensions, customization/standardization and high/low contact, explain over 80% of the variance in the classifications. Although there are differences when comparing the results of the U.S. and China samples, the results are very consistent between the two countries. Both samples result in two primary dimensions, with minor descriptive differences of the dimensions. The study discusses the significance of the findings for managers and for continuing academic research. The limitations of the study include the nature of the sample and the possible uniqueness of the MDS type utilized. Based on this information, managers are able to see how respondents perceive their service category in relation to other service categories on a cross-cultural basis. Such information may form the basis for further investigation of their service brand in relation to other service brands.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the availability of information regarding patient access to investigational treatments through clinical trials and non-trial pre-approval access pathways from a sample of patient advocacy organization (PAO) websites in the United States. Results We systematically analyzed the content of 118 randomly selected PAO websites to assess whether they contained information on clinical trials and non-trial pathways—e.g., the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded access (EA) program and right to try—over the course of two months from February to March 2019. A majority (81%, n = 96) of PAOs provided a link to ClinicalTrials.gov, and 73% (n = 86) had their own clinical trial finder or list of relevant trials. 23% (n = 27) mentioned EA, with 8% (n = 9) providing specific resources for FDA’s EA program. 8% (n = 10) provided a statement on the passage of the federal right to try law. A majority of PAO websites contained information on clinical trials, but a minority discussed non-trial pre-approval access. The lack of information on the latter highlights an area in need of improvement.

In epistemological domains, classification systems play an integral part as tools of discovery and systematic exploration. Classifications are essential for the integrity and validity of any academic research and application of the research findings to that particular research context. Absence of classification systems limits the ability of a discipline to advance as a legitimate subject worthy of academic pursuit. Currently, in the United States, as noted by the National Restaurant Association, there is no standardized and official classification for the restaurant industry. Thus, the current study proposes a theoretically supported restaurant classification system based on the concept of hedonic and utilitarian consumption. The proposed classification system has been empirically tested in four different studies, including a panel of currently operating restaurateurs, food journalists specializing in restaurant industry, panel of hospitality educators, and restaurant customers. The proposed framework has received strong empirical support from all four selected groups. The obtained results suggest that this parsimonious system could be effectively used to classify the U.S. restaurant industry with the proposed four major classes: Luxury Restaurants, Fine-Dining Restaurants, Casual Restaurants, and Quick-Service Restaurants.

Common Situation

Universities and corporates, in Europe and the United States, have come to a win-win relationship to accomplish goals that serve research and industry. However, this is not a common situation in Latin America. Knowledge exchange and the co-creation of new projects by applying academic research to solve company problems does not happen naturally.To bridge this gap, the Design School of Universidad de los Andes, together with Avianca, are exploring new formats to understand the knowledge transfer impact in an open innovation network aiming to create fluid channels between different stakeholders. The primary goal was to help Avianca to strengthen their innovation department by apply design methodologies. First, allowing design students to proposed novel solutions for the traveller experience. Then, engaging Avianca employees to learn the design process. These explorations gave the opportunity to the university to apply design research and academic findings in a professional and commercial environment.After one year of collaboration and ten prototypes tested at the airport, we can say that Avianca’s innovation mindset has evolved by implementing a user-centric perspective in the customer experience touch points, building prototypes and quickly iterate. Furthermore, this partnership helped Avianca’s employees to experience a design environment in which they were actively interacting in the innovation process.
