We applied an algebraic approach to solve a system consisting of four objective functions such that practitioners can absorb operational studies with two completed supply chains under service competition and relative price conditions. We extended the application of algebraic methods to a new environment that will arouse interested researchers to work on this research trend. Moreover, we checked a related inventory model to point out that the previously proposed solution procedure only considered the case where the numerator and denominator of the objective function both are positive real numbers. Hence, we provie a revision for their solution process to cover the overlooked four conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper elicits and analyzes the main requirements for Smart Pedestrian applications designed to enhance the pedestrian experience in urban environments by offering optimized walking routes, improved accessibility, and support for social inclusion and connectivity. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines qualitative insights with quantitative data analysis based on surveys conducted in two strategically selected urban areas of Nicosia, Cyprus. Through the survey, the requirements and potential use of Smart Pedestrian apps are investigated while accounting for the quality of service of the urban infrastructure in a medium-sized city context. Additionally, the study contrasts the current smartphone applications, as they predominantly facilitate vehicular transportation, with the potential use of ICT/ITS to support pedestrians for sustainable mobility. The findings reveal a significant demand for a Pedestrian Smartphone app, driven by its ability to provide relevant information on optimum pedestrian routes, as well as act as a citizen’s voice for spotting infrastructure problems and improving the pedestrian network. Further, it is also revealed that limitations in the pedestrian infrastructure substantially restrict walking preferences, emphasizing the need for urgent city-level urban planning solutions to support active mobility. Additionally, the research carried out underscores the importance of a sustainable business model to support the successful deployment of Smart Pedestrian apps. Ultimately, the results of the study suggest prioritizing a smart technology leverage with a crowdsourcing social network business model to promote pedestrian mobility, thereby reducing vehicular dependence, enhancing public health, and improving the quality of life. Such an approach would act as catalyst for policymakers to concentrate on sustainability by investing in digital technology for integrated pedestrian networks, fostering the emergence of genuine smart cities.

This article is different, in a good way. This article draws inspiration from Australian Indigenous scholar Nakata's (2007) theory of the cultural interface—the touchpoint between Western knowledge systems and Indigenous knowledge systems. Come with me, and let me tell you a story about Indigenous methodologies and other acts of research sovereignty using an Indigenous storytelling methodology. Let me tell you about my reflections as an Aboriginal marketing professor, and be warned, I will challenge you with provocative questions designed to shock you into new thinking and truth-telling. I will also provide guidance to improve your market research practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study examines the complex relationships that exist between pricing strategy, promotional activities, supply chain management, market research, and marketing performance within the framework of start-ups in Indonesia.

The findings demonstrate the interdependence of strategic choices and their influence on marketing results by pointing out important correlations between these variables. Key factors influencing marketing performance were found to be pricing strategy, advertising, supply chain management, and market research. The results offer practical advice for aspiring business owners, highlighting the significance of comprehensive and integrated marketing approaches for long-term success in the cutthroat market.

Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid synthesized by plants and algae that has a beneficial effect on several biological processes and associated ailments. Its immediate application is in ophthalmology, where it significantly lowers the incidences of age‐related macular degeneration (AMD). It also has anti‐inflammatory action, treatment of diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts, and enhancement of visual contrast. To critically assess lutein biosynthesis, therapeutic applicability, and market research literature. We have discussed its theoretical frameworks, experimental evidence, limitations, as well as clinical trial results, and future research prospects. The literature for this review article was mined and compiled by collecting and analyzing articles from several databases, including ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Patentscope, and ClinicalTrials.gov published until March 30, 2022. Patent publications were identified using the search terms like IC:(C07C67/56) AND EN_AB:(lutein) OR EN_TI:(lutein) OR EN_AB:(extraction) OR EN_TI:(process). According to the literature, lutein is an essential nutrient given that it cannot be synthesized in the human body and acts as an antioxidant, affecting AMD, diabetic retinopathy, Rheumatic diseases, inflammation, and cancer. Due to inadequate production and laborious extraction, lutein is expensive despite its high demand and applicability. Market research predicts a 6.3% compound annual growth rate for lutein by 2032. Optimizing lutein extraction for high yield and purity is necessary. Lutein has proven applicability in various ailments as well as cosmetics that can be developed as a candidate drug for various diseases discussed in the review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ethical issues involved with marketing research are receiving increased public scrutiny, prompting calls for marketing scholars and research practitioners to revisit the issue. To support researchers and practitioners, this paper provides a systematic scoping review of research on the ethics of market research developed across a range of literatures (N = 134). It demonstrates that, over 70 years, marketing scholars have explored the ethics of market research from normative, descriptive, theoretical and technical approaches. But, while marketing scholars were once at the forefront of theorising the ethics of marketing research, the field is increasingly fragmented and specialized. The result is that, following a series of theoretical innovations in the 1980s, progress has all but ended. We ask why marketing scholars have turned away from the ethics of marketing research given the importance of the topic in practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As technology advances and lifestyles shift, the aquatic prepared dishes market in China is presented with a growing opportunity. To comprehend its current landscape and consumers genuine wants, this study investigated products and preferences on three major online shopping platforms, using a mix of online and offline surveys. We found that consumers are inclined towards meals featuring Channaargus, Haliotis, Holothuroidea, and fish maw, with products using seafood as raw materials being more popular than those using freshwater sources. In terms of flavors, aquatic prepared dishes offer a diverse range, among which the original taste, spicy sour, and mala's numbing sensation are the most popular flavors. Regarding cooking methods, consumers prefer ready-to-heat products, followed by ready to cook, ready to cook, and ready to eat categories. Common criticisms include small serving sizes, lack of freshness, subpar quality, high prices, unimpressive flavors, peculiar aftertastes, and excessive additives. To address these challenges, this paper offers insights and potential solutions, aiming to guide the flourishing future of China's aquatic prepared dishes sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The number of innovation-orientated start-ups in Germany has been declining in recent years. A common reason for the failure of start-ups is that there is no market demand for the products and services on offer and too little attention is paid to this issue. However, market research is an important prerequisite for successful business start-ups. Therefore, an information research guide for market research is presented, which contains a methodical and structured procedure and shows the individual areas of investigation in the market research process. The information research guide is based on extensive practical and theoretical experience from the university and consultancy environment. It is supplemented by a literature and information resource search in university libraries in Silicon Valley, which successfully support their students regarding start-ups in a variety of ways from the beginning of their studies.

Predicting pedestrian crossing trajectories has become a primary task in aiding autonomous vehicles to assess risks in pedestrian–vehicle interactions. As agile participants with changeable behavior, pedestrians are often capable of choosing from multiple possible crossing trajectories. Current research lacks the ability to predict multimodal trajectories with interpretability, and it also struggles to capture low-probability trajectories effectively. Addressing this gap, this article proposes a multimodal trajectory prediction model that operates by first estimating potential motion trends to prompt the generation of corresponding trajectories. It encompasses three sequential stages. First, pedestrian motion characteristics are analyzed, and prior knowledge of pedestrian motion states is obtained using the Gaussian mixture clustering method. Second, a long short-term memory model is employed to predict future pedestrian motion states, utilizing the acquired prior knowledge as input. Finally, the predicted motion states are discretized into various potential motion patterns, which are then introduced as prompts to the Spatio-Temporal Graph Transformer model for trajectory prediction. Experimental results on the Euro-PVI and BPI datasets demonstrate that the proposed model achieves cutting-edge performance in predicting pedestrian crossing trajectories. Notably, it significantly enhances the diversity, accuracy, and interpretability of pedestrian crossing trajectory predictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The object of the study is the determination of ecological and economic efficiency in relation to the production of organic niche products. The strategic perspective of the production and export of organic niche products in Ukraine is considered as one of the ways to overcome economic challenges exacerbated by global instability and geopolitical tensions. The production of organic products is outlined as a strategically important direction of the country’s agricultural sector, which has significant export potential, especially to the countries of the European Union, where there is a steady increase in demand for organic products. A comprehensive approach to strategy implementation is proposed, which includes market research, production development, marketing and branding, as well as optimization of logistics and export processes. The dynamics of the main indicators of the development of organic agriculture in Ukraine from 2010–2021, the volume of imports of organic products to the countries of the European Union by exporting countries were analyzed. To date, only 1 % of agricultural crops are «eco», the volume of organic products has significantly increased, and the yield of organic products has increased by 5–20 % with a corresponding reduction in material costs. Since the end of the 1990s, the agricultural sector of Ukraine began to focus intensively on organic production, taking into account the growing global trend towards the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex, etc. Given their uniqueness, growing niche crops can offer advantages such as minimal competition and the potential for significant profits, especially when the products find widespread use. A comparative analysis of the production of organic products on the domestic and foreign markets of Ukraine was conducted. A SWOT analysis of the production of organic products in Ukraine was developed to determine the strengths and weaknesses. The practical value is providing advice to producers on growing niche crops, creating market demand, attracting foreign partners to implement such projects in Ukraine, which will contribute to strengthening the economic potential of agricultural producers. This will help increase the competitiveness of domestic enterprises in the local and global markets, make them more resistant to economic challenges and help reduce risks, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Creating specific datasets for machine learning models is a frequent and challenging task, requiring considerable effort in sample collection and maintaining a balanced representation of each class. In this study, our objective was to create a training dataset for a sentiment analysis model by combining results obtained from 5 natural language processing tools through 3 distinct approaches, aiming to automatically label various tweets in the negative, neutral, and positive classes. Additionally, we applied data balancing techniques to assess different methods' impacts on the sentiment analysis models' ability to generalize classes to previously unseen samples. The results demonstrated that the three approaches used to combine tool results and apply balancing techniques provided significantly superior outcomes compared to models with imbalanced datasets. These advancements enabled sentiment analysis models to achieve greater precision and generalization capacity for novel samples. These findings underscore the importance of considering effective data balancing strategies when creating training datasets for machine learning applications, especially in tasks sensitive to class imbalance, such as sentiment analysis. This enhanced approach is crucial to improving the performance and applicability of sentiment analysis models in real-world scenarios, providing more precise data analyses that unveil valuable insights in digital marketing.

A grid-based approach to exploratory data analysis is described wherein the size of a grid's cells may be altered. The primary tool of exploratory data analysis described here is cluster analysis. Background information is provided regarding the different types of clustering algorithms and their effectiveness. A grid-based approach for exploratory and cluster analysis is then described. Both exploratory and cluster analyses are performed for a series of different sizes of grid cells. Two marketing data sets are utilized to illustrate research questions often faced by market researchers. The first is a cluster analysis of cities used to create strata for selecting a representative probability sample. The second example is a segmentation of customers into groups for the purpose of targeting advertising and product insight. These examples illustrate related issues such as the elimination of "background noise" observations, significance tests for departures from uniform density, and metrics for the shape of a cluster.

Startups have become a buzzword in the last couple of years, and entrepreneurship became career path for a number of people in the world. With all the advances in education and government subsidizing all over the world, still, statistics shows only a small percentage of successful startups. Studies have shown that the one the leading reasons for startup failure is the misreading of market’s needs. The aim of this paper is to determine the approach to market research, knowledge of tools and methods, and preferences towards online market research tools of entrepreneurs by using Discrete Choice Analysis. The research gathered 187 valid responses from a panel of participants working on developing new products and business, using an online survey tool. In the paper it is shown that the most important attributes for entrepreneurs are the price of the market research tool, followed by the level of details in the report generated, with more in-depth analysis regarding segmentation, simulations, and Marginal Willingness to Pay in the further chapters. The results of the research imply the need for a market research business model optimized for those starting a new business, focused primarily on detailed reporting and analysis, with the pricing model adjusted to the lack of resources entrepreneurs face at the start of their ventures, which would help them better understand the market-fit at the beginning and raise the statistic of successful startups.

Agriculture plays an important role in the development of any country, which makes it important to study and consider the peculiarities of its development. One of the components of the agricultural sector is the sugar industry, which makes its analysis relevant. Thus, the research aims to form methods for increasing the level of competitiveness of sugar industry products. The study was conducted within the framework of the Republic of Kazakhstan, considering the features that characterize the development of the industry in the country. The main method of the study can be considered modeling. In addition, it is worth noting the analysis, historical method, induction, and others. Thus, the research considered the main trends in the volume of beet cultivation in Kazakhstan. It was shown that the number of tons of production in a section of 1 hectare in the country increases over time, which is a good indicator of the development of the industry. The mechanism of increasing the competitiveness of sugar products was also shown and substantiated. The authors concluded that it is possible to reach better results for the enterprises of the sector if the state has a more active influence on the activity of the companies in the aspect of economic assistance, as well as if it provides technological infrastructure development, personnel training, an increase of production possibilities, usage of new varieties of beet for increasing the level of fertility, etc. Thus, this study creates new knowledge in the context of studying the peculiarities of the state-stimulating policy, as well as provides an opportunity to take a different look at the sugar industry market in Kazakhstan, and the features of its development

Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) play a pivotal role in customer-centric industries. Understanding the distinctive features of such products and how customers engage with them is essential for CPG manufacturers to create customer-winning products. In this study, we explore an innovative data-centric approach to forecast customer engagement for CPG products by monitoring their digital evolution, particularly in the Snacks category in the USA. Traditional methods for consumer analysis such as surveys, focus groups are time consuming, costly and ineffective with limited scope. They also lack a forecasting component, making it difficult for CPG companies to make forward-looking decisions. However, with the emergence of big data, we can leverage user generated public data from social media, web search, e-commerce platforms to estimate consumer engagement and make long-term forecasts. To achieve this, we propose a systematic approach to accumulate and prepare large datasets from heterogeneous web sources for CPG products. We then use state-of-the-art deep learning based time series forecasting models to efficiently train and predict consumer engagement for the next 12 months, benchmarking their computational efficiency and forecasting performance. Our findings indicate that the DeepAR model outperforms all other models, with the lowest NRMSE (=0.378), RMSE (=14.848) MSE (=220.457), MASE (=0.871), and sMAPE (=0.306) values. Furthermore, we demonstrate methods for computing single forecasting points and prediction intervals using the forecasted sample distribution from the probabilistic models. The proposed approach will provide CPG businesses with valuable insights to make informed decisions about product development, marketing strategies, and supply chain management.

The paper explores the potential of Large Language Models to substitute for or to augment human participants in market research. This paper explores the potential of large language models (LLMs) to substitute for human participants in market research. Such LLMs can be used to generate text given a prompt. We argue that perceptual analysis is a particularly promising use case for such automated market research for certain product categories. The proposed new method generates outputs that closely match those generated from human surveys: agreement rates between human- and LLM- generated data sets reach over 75%. Moreover, this applies for perceptual analysis based on both brand similarity measures and product attribute ratings. The paper demonstrates that, for some categories, this new method of fully or partially automated market research will increase the efficiency of market research by meaningfully speeding up the process and potentially reducing the cost. Further results also suggest that with an ever larger training corpus applied to large language models, LLM-based market research will be applicable to answer more nuanced questions based on demographic variables or contextual variation that would be prohibitively expensive or infeasible with human respondents.

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are expected to reshape future transportation systems, and decision making is one of the critical modules toward high-level automated driving. To overcome those complicated scenarios that rule-based methods could not cope with well, data-driven decision-making approaches have aroused more focus. The datasets to be used in developing data-driven methods dramatically influence the performance of decision making; hence, it is necessary to have a comprehensive insight into the existing datasets. From the aspects of collection sources, driving data can be divided into vehicle-, environment-, and driver-related data. This study compares the state-of-the-art datasets of these three categories and summarizes their features, including sensors used, annotation, and driving scenarios. Based on the characteristics of the datasets, this survey also discusses potential applications of datasets on various aspects of AV decision making, assisting researchers in finding appropriate ones to support their own research. The future trends of AV dataset development are summarized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although radio still holds a high status among everyday media users in German society, there has been a clear downward trend in the usage of mainstream pop radios in recent years. In this essay, we highlight six central problems of current linear mainstream music radio and present possible solutions for creating more attractive and contemporary programs. In sum, we argue for greater inclusion of music editors' creativity and experience, which is connected to the conscious downgrading of music-based market research, and for a stronger harmonization and curation of at least parts of the program by editors and moderators.

Replacing eggs without influencing pound cakes' texture, appearance, and taste is challenging. Ovalbumin, the major protein in egg white, contributes to the structures of cakes by providing SH Groups that form a firm gel during baking. However, there is a shift in the consumers' behaviour regarding health, well-being, animal welfare standards, and environmental concerns. To meet upcoming trends and consumer needs, 102 egg replacement products were launched globally to the best of the authors' knowledge, with 20 of them advertised as suitable for baking applications. Ten locally available commercial egg replacers with a range of protein contents were chosen and applied in a pound cake model system to evaluate their functionality by evaluating cake and cake batter quality. Three different categories of egg replacements were chosen: replacers containing no protein (R1–R3), a low amount of protein (1–10 g/100 g; R4–R5), and a high amount of protein (>10 g/100 g; R6–R10). Those were compared to three control cakes containing powdered whole egg, fresh egg, and liquid whole egg. All the analysed egg replacers significantly differed from the control cakes, including low-protein egg replacement R4. Despite R4 achieving the highest specific volume (1.63 ± 0.07 mL/g) and comparable texture values, none of the examined egg replacers compared favourably with the egg control cakes regarding appearance, physical and textural properties, and nutritional value.

How do advertising agencies consume and produce consumer research, and what role do those practices play with their clients? To answer this question, this article introduces formative objects, an analytical concept for identifying practices around the formation of exchange relationships in the knowledge economy. Drawing on nine months of ethnographic research and 68 interviews conducted across three U.S. advertising agencies, the article illustrates practices around the production and transformation of consumer research as a formative object across three steps: (1) agency employees negotiate what kinds of consumers matter with their clients; (2) they produce consumer research in ways that generate particular types of aesthetic materials; and (3) they use these materials to craft representations of the consumer to serve as formative objects, facilitating the exchange of campaign ideas and money between agency and client. The article contributes to our knowledge of practices in advertising specifically and the knowledge economy generally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract There are circumstances in which breastfeeding is not possible and formula milk feeding has to be resorted to. In these cases, it is difficult to choose among the multitude of brands on the market for infant feeding. Although the composition of formula milk is largely regulated by legislation, there are certain nutrients whose presence in breast milk is beneficial. This circumstance will help us to establish some criteria to choose formula milk for a healthy infant. Among all the formula milks which can be found in different shops (pharmacies, supermarkets, etc.), market research has been carried out based on the nutritional criteria: the lipid and protein profile, certain carbohydrates, amino acids, and vitamins, as well as the presence of nucleotides, prebiotics, and probiotics. Based on these results, it can be established which formula milk we would give to a healthy infant. Thus, within the analyzed formula milks, it has been concluded that the most complete milk in this would be formula milk D and the least formula milk J. Although more studies are needed to confirm this, it is foreseeable that, as the scientific evidence is greater, the legislation will be updated and considering these nutrients for a correct formula milk.

The word rehabilitation is of Latin origin (sanacio) and means treatment, from the point of view of the economy of the company, rehabilitation means economic and technical-organizational measures that should contribute to the recovery of the company, in the sense of making it liquid and profitable again. A company is considered sick if, in the long run, it is unable to meet its obligations and operates at a loss. The causes of the disease can be external and internal. Financial difficulties, manifested in illiquidity and unprofitability, cause the need for rehabilitation. Initiation of remediation presupposes remediation eligibility, which exists if permanent recovery of the company is possible. Determining the suitability of rehabilitation involves examination and selection of measures, the implementation of which ensures the permanent recovery of the company, in the sense of re-establishing the financial balance and returning to the profit zone. This paper explores the food industry business market as an example, highlighting the key role of market research in successful economic recovery. Through this example, market research becomes a fundamental framework for identifying the changes that a company needs to implement in its operations in order to become more competitive. The example will show the market research of companies from the food industry. There is no successful economic rehabilitation without market research. This example can serve as a framework for market research, which provides answers to the question of what the company needs to change in its business in order to be more successful than the competition. The research results have significant implications for managers, experts and political decision-makers, providing them with information necessary for effective management of financial crises and ensuring the stability of companies, as well as a faster understanding of the competitive business environment.

Abstract Background Flavonoids are one of the crucial secondary metabolites as several functions are carried out by flavonoids, including regulating cell growth, luring insects and pollinators, and defending against biotic and abiotic stressors. They are found in fruits, whole grains, vegetables, spices, tea, wine, herbs, and seeds. More than 4000 flavonoid compounds have been discovered and extracted through different techniques. Most flavonoids are frequently utilized in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and other products. A flavonol glucoside called gossypin is the primary phytochemical of herbs that comes under the "Malvaceae" family and can be found in many species, including Hibiscus esculentus, Gossypium indicum, and Hibiscus vitifolius, all have it in their flowers. Gossypin shows not only significant pharmacological activities but also a defence mechanism and protects against pathogens, UV radiation, etc. It has drawn much interest from researchers and scholars due to its benefits of few adverse effects, high efficacy, and simple preparation. Thus, the current review focuses primarily on the pharmacological accounts of gossypin in various acute and chronic diseases. The various assays and animal studies conducted in the past supported gossypin effects as supporting the concept of the objective of the title. The review also highlights various patents filled on gossypin’s importance and current market scenario. Conclusion Therefore, the technical contents based on pharmacological activities, patents and current market scenario provided in this paper for the improvement of research in numerous scientific fields will be helpful to researchers for suitable alternative designs of gossypin in various disorders.
