Smartphone software updates
Businesses often struggle with hedonic adaptation, a phenomenon that diminishes customer satisfaction over time. Mitigating this decline is crucial for maintaining long-term satisfaction, but the underlying mechanisms, especially in technology products, remain vague. This study examines the impact of variable features (e.g., smartphone software updates) and consumption behaviors (social interaction and enduring involvement) on thwarting hedonic a…
From colonial divergence to regional complementarity
Why do some historically proximate port cities develop complementary rather than competitive trajectories? This paper examines Qingdao and Dalian to show how colonial planning regimes have produced enduring patterns of inter-urban specialization. German administration in Qingdao (1898–1914) institutionalized comprehensive urban planning and manufacturing-oriented land use, while Japanese rule in Dalian (1905–1945) promoted a free-port model empha…

Double-Negative T-Cell Reaction in a Case of Listeria Meningitis
Gamma delta T-cells are commonly found in response to Listeria monocytogenes infection in mice, whereas this same immunological response has only been reported a few times in vivo in humans. Moreover, gamma delta T-cell response in cerebral spinal fluid samples in conjunction with Listeria meningitis has never been described in medical literature to date. Thus, we describe a 64-year-old male who presented with altered mental status, fever, and ne…
