Luxury goods are defined as conducive to pleasure and comfort and also, hard to obtain. Building on the definition by Vigneron and Johnson (2004), we posit that luxury products can – either alternatively or cumulatively – deliver personal indulgence and social esteem on consumers, aside from the functional utility of owning or experiencing a good or service that offers superior value in terms of quality, design, performance, durability and overall customer satisfaction. Hence, by providing exceptional value and overall excellence, luxury products enable consumers to satisfy both or either of their socio-psychological and functional needs (Shukla, 2012; Wiedmann et al., 2007; Hennigs et al., 2012). Customer experience is again a real time concept, experience is more of personal and internal, this concept focuses more on the points of direct and indirect interaction between customer and organisation. Knowing such points of interaction is very vital in delivering complete customer experience. The present study is conducted in the city of Ahmedabad with sample size of 520. All the major luxury goods retailers are covered under the study. Major aim the study is to understand factors determining experiential value while customer is buying luxury goods from such organised retailers.

Trade is a form of business that is run by many people around the world, ranging from trading various kinds of daily necessities or primary needs, to selling the need for luxury goods for human satisfaction. For that, to overcome the many needs of life, they try to outsmart them buy products that are useful, economical and efficient. One of the markets they aim at is the second-hand market or the so-called trashy market. As for a trader at a trashy market, they aim to sell in the used goods market with a variety of reasons. These reasons include; first, because it is indeed to fulfill their needs. Second, the capital needed to trade at trashy markets is much smaller than opening a business where the products come from new goods. Third, used goods are easily available and easily sold to buyer. Here the researcher will discuss the behavior of Muslim traders in a review of Islamic business ethics (the case in the Jagalan Kediri Trashy Market). Kediri Jagalan Trashy Market is central to the sale of used goods in the city of Kediri. Where every day there are more than 300 used merchants who trade in the market. The focus of this research is how the behavior of Muslim traders in the Jagalan Kediri Trashy Market in general. Then, from the large number of traders, of course not all traders have behavior in accordance with Islamic business ethics, as well as traders who are in accordance with the rules of Islamic business ethics. This study aims to determine how the behavior of Muslim traders in the Jagalan Kediri Trashy Market in buying and selling transactions and to find out how the behavior of Muslim traders in the Jagalan Kediri Trashy Market in reviewing Islamic business ethics.

Abstract Objective: To elucidate the prevalence of ectopic eruption, impaction, and primary and secondary retention as well as agenesis of the permanent second molar (M2) among adolescents. Materials and Methods: After a sample size calculation, dental records, including radiographs, of 1543 patients (722 girls and 821 boys), from three clinics in the city of Malmoe, Sweden, were retrospectively analyzed. Series of annual records and radiographs were examined for all patients from 10 to 16 years of age and were carried out during 2004–2006. The prevalence of ectopic eruption, impaction, and primary and secondary retention as well as agenesis of M2s was registered in a standardized manner and according to preset definitions. In addition, the times of emergence of the M2s were recorded. Results: The prevalence of ectopic eruption of M2 was 1.5%, the prevalence of primary retention was 0.6%, and the prevalence of impaction was 0.2%. This means that the overall prevalence of eruption disturbances was 2.3%. In addition, the prevalence of agenesis was 0.8%. The prevalence of ectopic eruption was significantly higher in the mandible. Those patients with eruption disturbances and agenesis of M2 showed significantly delayed eruption of their other M2s compared to the individuals without any eruption disturbances. Conclusions: The prevalence of eruption disturbances was higher than reported earlier, and, even if the disturbances do not occur frequently, it is important to develop an early diagnosis in order to start the treatment at the optimal time.

This paper explores the concept of the ‘co-creation-driven innovation’ as part of the service dominant (S-D) logic concept in the digital ICT industry. The platform service becomes critical in order to collaborate and innovate based on organizational agility and customer experience. Co-creation-driven innovation is considered as part of the service dominant development, where a dynamic organization model and customer experience feedback are required in the shaping of business model innovations within the digital ecosystem. The study was performed with a sample size of 175 respondents representing Indonesian telecommunication firms. Smart PLS was used as the statistical tool for analyses. Findings demonstrate that customer experience orientation and organizational agility has a direct impact on digital co-creation and business model innovation. Simultaneous testing of hypotheses shows that customer experience orientation has an indirect influence on business model innovation through co-creation strategy. However, organizational agility does not have any indirect impacts. The study has some limitations in terms of the time period and sample size, therefore suggestions for future studies are included in the paper

With luxury consumption still growing fast despite various challenges such as increasing competition, rise in rental luxuries, and in counterfeits, luxury brands are challenged with an additional and complex development: consumers' interest towards inconspicuous luxury products. Being one of the major characteristics of luxury goods, conspicuousness is losing its value among some luxury shoppers necessitating a new definition for luxury and a new value proposition for luxury brands. This chapter initially provides a review on luxury and on the different motivations that determine luxury consumption. Next, socio-economic changes that trigger the shift from conspicuous to inconspicuous luxury consumption is examined briefly. And finally, a discussion on why inconspicuous consumption is valued by consumers is followed by a theoretical framework on the motivations for inconspicuous luxury brand usage. The chapter then concludes with theoretical and managerial implications.

Conspicuous consumption has been studied in the millennial generation in the United States and Asia; in Latin America, however, it has scarcely been analysed. The purpose of this study is to examine whether conspicuous motivations in millennial consumers are more prominent in men than in women associated with the consumption of new luxury goods in Latin America. A survey was developed to measure conspicuous motivation, more specifically, bandwagon and snob effects. It was responded by 712 university students located in five different cities in Chile. The findings of the study showed that the bandwagon and snob motivations were higher in men than in women. Men also showed a greater tendency than women to purchase and use new luxury products in social contexts. These results suggest that managers could adjust their marketing strategies to better target millennial consumers of new luxury products.

Abstract Objectives 1. To compare the effectiveness of four different surveillance strategies in detecting COVID-19 within the homeless shelter population. 2. To assess the participant adherence over time for each surveillance method. Trial Design This is a prospective cluster-randomized study to compare the effectiveness of four different surveillance regimens across eight homeless shelters in the city of Hamilton. Participants Participants will include both residents of, and the staff working within, the homeless shelters. All participants aged 18 or older who consent to the study and are able to collect a swab sample (where relevant) are eligible for the study. The study will take place across eight homeless shelters (four men-only and four women-only) in the City of Hamilton in Ontario, Canada. Intervention and Comparator Groups The comparator group will receive active daily surveillance of symptoms and testing will only be completed in symptomatic participants (i.e. those who fail screening or who seek care for potential COVID-19 related symptoms). The three intervention arms will all receive active daily surveillance of symptoms and testing of symptomatic participants (as in the comparator group) in addition to one of the following: 1. Once weekly self-collected oral swabs (OS) regardless of symptoms using written and visual instructions. 2. Once weekly self-collected oral-nares swab (O-NS) regardless of symptoms using written and visual instructions. 3. Once weekly nurse collected nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) regardless of symptoms. Participants will follow verbal and written instructions for the collection of OS and O-NS specimens. For OS collection, participants are instructed to first moisten the swab on their tongue, insert the swab between the cheek and the lower gums and rotate the swab three times. This is repeated on the other side. For O-NS collection, after oral collection, the swab is inserted comfortably (about 2-3 cm) into one nostril, parallel to the floor and turned three times, then repeated in the other nostril. NPS specimens were collected by the nurse following standard of care procedure. All swabs were placed into a viral inactivation medium and transported to the laboratory for COVID-19 testing. Briefly, total nucleic acid was extracted from specimens and then amplified by RT-PCR for the UTR and Envelope genes of SARS-CoV-2 and the human RNase P gene, which is used as a sample adequacy marker. Main Outcomes 1. Primary outcome: COVID-19 detection rate, i.e. the number of new positive cases over the study period of 8 weeks in each arm of the study. 2. Secondary outcomes: Qualitative assessment of study enrollment over 8 weeks. Percentage of participants who performed 50% or more of the weekly swabs in the intervention arms in the 8 week study period. Randomization We will use a computer-generated random assignment list to randomize the shelters to one of four interventions. Shelters were stratified by gender, and the simple randomization scheme was applied within each stratum. The randomization scheme was created using WinPEPI. Blinding This is an open-label study in which neither participants nor assessors are blinded. Numbers to be randomized (sample size) Since we are including our total sample frame, a sample size estimation at the cluster level is not required. However, if we succeed to enroll 50 participants per shelter from 8 shelters (n=400), and the detection rate is 3 times higher in the intervention groups (0.15) than in the comparator groups (0.05), we will have 90% power to detect a statistically significant and clinically important difference at a type I error rate of alpha=0.05 (one tailed), assuming an intraclass correlation of ~0.008. These computations were done using WinPEPI, and informed by conservative estimates from other studies on respiratory illness in the homeless (see Full protocol). Trial Status The protocol version number is 3.0. Recruitment began on April 17, 2020 and is ongoing. Due to low numbers of COVID cases in the community and shelter system during the initial study period, the trial was extended. The estimated date for the end of the extended recruitment period is Feb 1, 2021. Trial Registration The trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on June 18, 2020 with the identifier NCT04438070. Full protocol The full protocol is attached as an additional file, accessible from the Trials website (Additional file 1). In the interest in expediting dissemination of this material, the familiar formatting has been eliminated; this Letter serves as a summary of the key elements of the full protocol.

The rapid development of technology created a huge gap in the previous generation. Marked by the existence of the internet that facilitates users to communicate with each other without limits. While communicating on the internet, someone who is more open to express himself without having to hit social norms is commonly found indirect interaction. This has a huge influence on the millennial generation which is characterized by the phenomenon of online disinhibition effects / online disinhibited effects, disinhibition is an absence of boundaries in conversations, where online users can access and use their emotions personally with newly recognized online users. According to Suler (2004), activities such as these are called benign or disinhibited disinhibitions that are harmless, making Millennials easily use harsh words, cruel, challenging, hateful, even opposing criticism. In addition, they are also added to those released from dangerous internet sites such as pornographic sites, crime or violence are activities that contain toxic or disinhibition that is dangerous (Suler, 2004). Increasing cyberbullying in the city has become a major factor for designers to progressively cyberbullying, as a new educational forum using Virtual Reality, as a form of simulation to counter cyberbullying in the hope of creating public interest and participation for teenagers and cyberbullying people, exchange ideas in the form of a Community Center. AbstrakPesatnya perkembangan teknologi, menciptakan gap yang sangat besar pada generasi sebelumnya. Ditandai dengan adanya internet yang memudahkan para pengguna dapat saling berinteraksi tanpa batas. Selama berinteraksi di internet, seseorang cenderung lebih terbuka untuk mengespresikan dirinya tanpa harus terbentur norma-norma sosial yang biasa ditemukan pada interaksi langsung. Hal ini membawa pengaruh yang sangat besar pada generasi milenial yang ditandai dengan munculnya fenomena  efek disinhibisi online/online disinhibition effects, disinhibisi merupakan suatu ketiadaan batas dalam berkomunikasi, dimana online user dapat lebih terbuka dan mengekspresikan emosinya secara personal dengan sesama online user yang baru dikenal. Menurut Suler (2004), aktivitas seperti ini disebut dengan benign disinhibition atau disinhibisi yang tidak berbahaya, membuat Generasi Millennial mudah menggunakan kata-kata kasar, kritik yang kejam, kemarahan, kebencian, bahkan ancaman terhadap orang lain. Selain itu ditambah juga mereka yang mengunjungi sisi gelap internet seperti website pornografi, kriminal atau kekerasan yaitu aktivitas yang merupakan sebagai toxic disinhibition atau disinhibisi yang berbahaya ( Suler, 2004). Meningkatnya tindakan cyberbullying di kota, menjadi faktor utama bagi perancang untuk merancang pusat pencegahan cyberbullying, sebagai wadah edukasi baru dengan penggunaan Virtual Reality, sebagai bentuk simulasi dampak cyberbullying dengan harapan terciptanya kesadaran dan partisipasi publik bagi para remaja dan orang dewasa atas bahaya Cyberbullying, untuk saling bertukar pikiran dalam bentuk Community Center.
