  • Measuring customer-perceived service quality in the ride-hailing industry

    Open Access•Jin Li, Li Jin et al.•ARTICLE•Humanities and Social Sciences…•2025

    Service issues and limitations of generic measures (scales, instruments) necessitate well-developed customized measures to evaluate service quality. Against methodological limitations that grounded in researchers’ thoughts and second-hand knowledge (existing literatures and materials) to derive measure items and dimensions, limited considerations for measure validity (e.g., measurement invariance), this study proposes a generic approach for custo…

  • Isotopic seasonality of fluvial-derived greenhouse gases implies active layer deepening

    Open Access•Melissa Schwab, Clayton D Elder et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Research Letters•2024

    Climate change in the northern circumpolar regions is rapidly thawing organic-rich permafrost soils, leading to the substantial release of dissolved CO 2 and CH 4 into river systems. This mobilization impacts local ecosystems and regional climate feedback loops, playing a crucial role in the Arctic carbon cycle. Here, we analyze the stable carbon ( δ 13 C) and radiocarbon (F 14 C) isotopic compositions of dissolved CO 2 and CH 4 in the Sagavanirk…
