The Jefferson Arts organization focuses on such media as art and photography, writing, and music and supports diverse activities including live readings, art exhibits and musical performances. In addition, the organization publishes Inside Out annual art and literary journal which showcases photography, paintings, sketches, short stories, poems and essays contributed by university students. All of these activities are designed to bring more diversity to the Jefferson community; to allow students, faculty and staff the chance to stop and reflect on their daily lives; and to provide a creative outlet from the rigors of school and work.

How Nationality, Weather, Wind, and Distance Affect Consumer Willingness to Fly in Autonomous Airplanes

Several studies have examined passengers’ trust in human-operated systems versus autonomous systems. Prior studies have also reported cultural differences among individuals from India and the United States. The purpose of this study was to investigate how nationality, weather, wind, and distance affect passengers’ willingness to fly in autonomous aircraft. Participants included 161 volunteers from the United States and 137 volunteers from India. In 12 different conditions, participants were asked to rate their willingness to fly in an autonomous aircraft, given information about the weather (sunny, raining, or snowing), the wind level (no wind versus strong wind), and the flight distance (short flight versus long flight). These conditions were presented randomly to each participant. Subsequently, participants were asked qualitative, open-ended questions. The results indicated that Indian participants were generally positive about autonomous commercial flights, except in the most extreme conditions. American participants were generally negative about autonomous commercial flights, except in perfect conditions. Participants were also asked their opinions on advantages of automation, disadvantages of automation, and specific weather concerns. Implications for the findings are discussed

An Investigation Into The Quality of Meal Service in the NHS Acute Trusts.

The aim of this research was to investigate the discrepancies between in-patients and service providers (hospital caterers and ward staff) on perceptions of the quality of meal services in NHS Acute Trusts. This aim was achieved through comprehensive secondary research into the implications of the NHS’s continued reforms of hospital catering services, the complexity of patients’ food consumption and the nutritional implications of consumption, and the importance of patients satisfaction linked with the models of service quality. After analysing the literature, a framework structured around service gap theory was adopted. Primary research using multimethods and a modified SERVQUAL instrument was carried out on-site at four NHS Acute Trusts in three phases: Phase I- in-patients questionnaire (43.72% response rate, 662 valid returns); Phase II- hospital staff questionnaire (78.24% response rate, 283 valid returns); and Phase III- face-to-face interviews with catering managers (4 participants). The results found that: Patients’ expectations were higher than their perceptions on 17 meal service attributes; Through a path analysis, the best predictor of patient satisfaction was found to be the food properties dimension (of three meal service dimensions from factor analysis), and the regularity of finishing food was found to have a reciprocal interaction with patient satisfaction; The three gaps between the competing interests proposed in the theoretical framework were confirmed: the service gap between patients and service personnel, the quality assurance gap between patients and catering managers, and the managerial gap between service personnel and catering managers. The study has evaluated and provided a greater understanding of meal service in a group of NHS hospitals. Hospital meal services need to review their policies on the provision of food to patients, which should be made more appropriate to the needs of the sick. Eight managerial implications are offered to aid future hospital caterers in understanding some of the underlying complexities of patient satisfaction toward the meal services. Through the development of industry-specific models, a platform has been constructed that can be used for further research into the gaps between the expectations and perceptions of patients, service staff and catering management. This study synthesises concepts from three distinct academic fields (Healthcare Management, Food Choice, and Service Quality) into a coherent instrument, and applies it to the acute hospital meal service field
