The Influence of the Service Quality of Eyelash Beauty Treatment and Perceived Value on Behavior Intention

In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted with women aged 20 to 50, in order to find how the service quality of eyelash beauty treatment and perceived value influence their behavior intention. For data analysis, SPSS23.0 and JAMOVI 1.6.16 program were used. For reliability verification, Cronbach’s α value was analyzed, and Pearson correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted. Firstly, according to the analysis on the influence of service quality on perceived value, assurance and empathy as the factors of service quality positively and significantly influenced perceived value. Secondly, according to the analysis on the influence of service quality and perceived value on behavior intention, assurance positively and significantly influenced behavior intention; responsiveness negatively and significantly influenced behavior intention. Therefore, The more assurance in perceived value and service quality, and the lower responsiveness in service quality, the more behavior intention.

Reliability Verification of Existing RC Structures Using Partial Factors Approaches and Site-Specific Data

The assessment of an existing structure to determine its suitability for present and future use entails different sorts of problems than encountered when designing new structures. The differences revolve essentially around the nature of the information available. In existing structures, deteriorated or otherwise, the accuracy of the models used for such assessments can usually be improved by acquiring more data. The most accurate way to find actual load and resistance would be to conduct a probabilistic analysis using site data. This is a time-consuming process, however, calling for a working knowledge of probabilistic methods that may not be suited to everyday use by practising engineers. For this reason, in the past few years various studies have been conducted to develop assessment approaches, compatible with Eurocodes, which include the same verification format as normally applied for designing new structures. In this paper, the application of several of these approaches is illustrated by means of the reliability verification of one of the main beams of the reinforced concrete structure of an industrial building from the 1940s, recently transformed into a cultural centre. The obtained results are discussed and compared to the findings of a full probabilistic analysis.
