    In the era of digital economy, catering O2O is developing rapidly. Catering O2O (catering online to offline), namely catering takeout in the paper, means that customers place an order through online ordering platform, and delivery persons deliver the food provided by catering enterprises offline. Catering O2O conforms to the trend of the digital economy era, but exposes a variety of problems, such as lower feedback rate of the platform, lower timeliness of acceptance and handling, lower customer feedback satisfaction, and poorer customer experience. As China\u27s leading e-commerce platform for life services, Meituan won the rating of not recommending to place an order in the report of "2020 China E-commerce User Experience and Complaint Monitoring". In order to improve customer experience and service satisfaction of catering O2O, this paper takes Meituan takeout as an example, integrates big data analytics and grounded theory to explore influencing factors of catering O2O customer experience. With the big data analytics method, the main influencing factors are obtained from 54250 customer reviews, and then the grounded theory method is used to conduct in-depth analysis on negative reviews, and influencing factors of O2O customer experience are verified and confirmed. The results show that the main influencing factors of catering O2O customer experience are catering food quality and delivery service quality and after-sale service quality. Catering food quality and delivery service quality have a significant impact on customer experience. Finally, from perspectives of catering O2O platforms and enterprises, the paper obtains management implications as follows: Catering O2O platforms should attach great importance on the service of contact points in distribution link, strengthen the last-mile delivery service quality, and improve the supervision and feedback mechanism; catering O2O enterprises should ensure the quality, portion and package of catering food, so as to improve customer experience and win electronic word-of-mouth and customer satisfaction

    LncRNAs could play a vital role in osteosarcoma treatment: Inhibiting osteosarcoma progression and improving chemotherapy resistance

    Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common primary solid malignant tumors in orthopedics, and its main clinical treatments are surgery and chemotherapy. However, a wide surgical resection range, functional reconstruction of postoperative limbs, and chemotherapy resistance remain as challenges for patients and orthopedists. To address these problems, the discovery of new effective conservative treatments is important. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides in length that do not encode proteins. Researchers have recently found that long non-coding RNAs are closely associated with the development of OS, indicating their potentially vital role in new treatment methods for OS. This review presents new findings regarding the association of lncRNAs with OS and summarizes potential clinical applications of OS with lncRNAs, including the downregulation of oncogenic lncRNAs, upregulation of tumor suppressive lncRNAs, and lncRNAs-based treatment to improve chemotherapy resistance. We hope these potential methods will be translated into clinical applications and greatly reduce patient suffering

    A Global Analysis of the Relationship Between Urbanization and Fatalities in Earthquake-Prone Areas

    Urbanization can be a challenge and an opportunity for earthquake risk mitigation. However, little is known about the changes in exposure (for example, population and urban land) to earthquakes in the context of global urbanization, and their impacts on fatalities in earthquake-prone areas. We present a global analysis of the changes in population size and urban land area in earthquake-prone areas from 1990 to 2015, and their impacts on earthquake-related fatalities. We found that more than two thirds of population growth (or 70% of total population in 2015) and nearly three quarters of earthquake-related deaths (or 307,918 deaths) in global earthquake-prone areas occurred in developing countries with an urbanization ratio (percentage of urban population to total population) between 20 and 60%. Holding other factors constant, population size was significantly and positively associated with earthquake fatalities, while the area of urban land was negatively related. The results suggest that fatalities increase for areas where the urbanization ratio is low, but after a ratio between 40 and 50% occurs, earthquake fatalities decline. This finding suggests that the resistance of building and infrastructure is greater in countries with higher urbanization ratios and highlights the need for further investigation. Our quantitative analysis is extended into the future using Shared Socioeconomic Pathways to reveal that by 2050, more than 50% of the population increase in global earthquake-prone areas will take place in a few developing countries (Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh) that are particularly vulnerable to earthquakes. To reduce earthquake-induced fatalities, enhanced resilience of buildings and urban infrastructure generally in these few countries should be a priority
