Exploring Different Roles between Service Expectation and Technology Expectation In Citizen’s E-Government Continuance Adoption: An Extended Expectation-Confirmation Model

Although Chinese government has got remarkable achievement in e-Government development, the difficult issue that citizen use behaviour cannot last toward many e-Government services has long been troubling to government in different levels. Based on expectation-confirmation theory (ECT), this paper proposed an extended model by divide the expectation and perceived performance into two categories, service perspective and technology perspective, for understanding the different roles of those factors in the process of e-Government continuance adoption. The research plan of an empirical experiment toward the e-Government portal of Beijing, the capital of China for utilizing this extended model was also discussed briefly in the paper

Understanding Cross-Sector Collaboration in E-Government Development: Theoretical Consideration Based on Extended Bryson’s Framework

With the rapid development of e-government, cross-sector collaboration has been one of the most important issues to academia and practitioners. Although collaboration was a classical topic in public administration research, digital age and e-government environment complicate the related issues from multi-perspectives. Based on accumulated literature in the public administration research area and e-government research area, this paper tries to introduce Bryson’s Framework, an important theoretical framework of collaboration in public administration provided on 2006, for analyzing cross-sector collaboration based on e-government development more deeply. Considering the e-government environment, we redefine and extend the detail items of five basic dimensions in the framework, called initial conditions, process, structure and governance, constraints on collaboration, outcomes. The research plan of an empirical study in a local government in China for utilizing this extended framework was also discussed briefly in the paper

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF INTERNET MEDIA ON PATIENT-CLINICIAN TRUST: MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH DESIGN

Patient-clinician trust is one of the major concerns regarding the relationship between the public and the healthcare industry. The development of Internet technology, especially Web 2.0 applications, provides us with a greater ability to exchange information and provide feedback. To describe and measure the impact of ICT-based new media on patient-clinician trust, this paper develops a theoretical model that builds on previous literature in both the healthcare and IS research areas. The paper also aims to explain the differing impacts of online reports (Web 1.0) and online comments (Web 2.0), along with the differing impacts of positive and negative comments. Expected contributions and an agenda for future empirical experiment are also discussed in the paper

The Catalyzing Factors of Official Documents Exchange via Microblogging in Public Sectors: A Case Study based on the T-O-E Framework

Since Government transparency and information open has got more attention by both academia and practitioners with the development of information technologies (IT) and Internet, The popularity of Web 2.0 application provides the government some new opportunities and challenges. Official documents exchange via microblogging (ODEM) in the Bureau of Justice, Haining is a practice case of government information open in the new media. For analyzing the determinants from academic perspective and exploring the managerial value of the case, the paper report an exploratory case study based on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework. After several field interviews and rigorous data coding by following the case study methodology, we find that top manager’s support, personnel’s IT accomplishment, and regional economic and social environment are the key determinants of the emergence of ODEM, as well as the organizational structure and operational flow is not change immediately in this case. The limitation and future goals of the study are also discussed in the paper

Who Deserves My Trust? Cue-Elicited Feedback Negativity Tracks Reputation Learning in Repeated Social Interactions

Trust and trustworthiness contribute to reciprocal behavior and social relationship development. To make better decisions, people need to evaluate others’ trustworthiness. They often assess this kind of reputation by learning through repeated social interactions. The present event-related potential (ERP) study explored the reputation learning process in a repeated trust game where subjects made multi-round decisions of investment to different partners. We found that subjects gradually learned to discriminate trustworthy partners from untrustworthy ones based on how often their partners reciprocated the investment, which was indicated by their own investment decisions. Besides, electrophysiological data showed that the faces of the untrustworthy partners induced larger feedback negativity (FN) amplitude than those of the trustworthy partners, but only in the late phase of the game. The ERP results corresponded with the behavioral pattern and revealed that the learned trustworthiness differentiation was coded by the cue-elicited FN component. Consistent with previous research, our findings suggest that the anterior cue-elicited FN reflects the reputation appraisal and tracks the reputation learning process in social interactions

catena-Poly[[bis­(1H-benzimidazole-κN 3)palladium(II)]-μ-benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl­ato-κ2 O 1:O 4]

In the title compound, [Pd(C8H4O4)(C7H6N2)2]n, the Pd atom is tetra­coordinated by two carboxyl­ate O atoms from two benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl­ate (bdc) dianions and two N atoms from two benzimidazole ligands, resulting in a slightly distorted tetra­hedral PdO2N2 geometry. The bdc ligand acts as a bridge, linking the Pd atoms into a chain. Inter-chain N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the crystal structure

In the title compound, [Mn2O(C18H18ClN4)2](PF6)2, the Mn atom is chelated by a tetra­dentate ligand via four N atoms, and further bonded to one chloride ion and one bridging oxide, to give a centrosymmetric cation and distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry

A Modified Fatigue Damage Model for High-Cycle Fatigue Life Prediction

Based on the assumption of quasibrittle failure under high-cycle fatigue for the metal material, the damage constitutive equation and the modified damage evolution equation are obtained with continuum damage mechanics. Then, finite element method (FEM) is used to describe the failure process of metal material. The increment of specimen’s life and damage state can be researched using damage mechanics-FEM. Finally, the lifetime of the specimen is got at the given stress level. The damage mechanics-FEM is inserted into ABAQUS with subroutine USDFLD and the Python language is used to simulate the fatigue process of titanium alloy specimens. The simulation results have a good agreement with the testing results under constant amplitude loading, which proves the accuracy of the method
