Moderating Role

Purpose This paper aims to examine the role that personal cultural orientations play in customer attributions in intercultural service encounters. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual model was developed depicting the relationships between service delivery outcome, personal cultural orientations and customer attributions. Data were collected from 640 Chinese and Western customers using scenario-based experiments in a restaurant context to assess the hypothesized relationships in the model. Findings The findings show that compared to service delivery success, customers tend to hold service employee and firm responsible for service delivery failure rather than themselves and cultural differences. Moreover, personal cultural orientations partially moderated the influence of the service delivery outcome on customer attributions. Research limitations/implications Future research could adopt different methodologies such as critical incident techniques and surveys to replicate the study. Practical implications Service firms are recommended to design programs to influence customer attributions such as “customer education programs” and “customer appreciation programs” to achieve high customer satisfaction. Originality/value This study examines the differences in customer attributions between successful vs unsuccessful service delivery. It also sheds light on the potential moderating role of personal cultural orientations on the relationship between service delivery outcome and customer attributions.

The Impact

Background Hypothyroidism affects 3% of pregnant women, and to date, no studies have addressed the impact levothyroxine-treated hypothyroidism on delivery outcome. Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted among 750 women with a singleton pregnancy who gave birth between 2015 and 2019. Delivery modes were compared between 250 hypothyroid women exposed to levothyroxine and 500 euthyroid control women. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of levothyroxine exposure on delivery outcome. Results Multiple logistic regression showed no significant association between exposure to levothyroxine and the overall rate of caesarean delivery (aOR 1.1; 95% CI 0.8 to 1.6). Mean TSH concentrations were significantly higher throughout the pregnancy in hypothyroid women despite levothyroxine treatment. Maternal and neonatal outcomes in both groups were not different. Conclusion Hypothyroidism treated with levothyroxine during pregnancy according to local guidelines is not a significant risk factor for caesarean delivery.

High Smoking Rate

Tobacco smoking is one of the pressing issues of public health. Russia ranks among the countries with a very high smoking rate. Smoking frequency among pregnant women in St. Petersburg is about 26.4%, among which 18.9% of the women smoke every day, and the rest 7.5% of them on the occasion. Complications from pregnancy (threatening miscarriage, premature delivery, anaemia) and from labour and delivery (labour abnormalities) in the smoking women occurs at almost twice the rate in those non-smoking, threatening miscarriage and anaemia notably having a more severe clinical picture and being more reluctant to the therapy. Smoking is one of the risk factors of hyperhomocysteinemia, which is in turn a marker of the folate metabolism impairment in the organism. It has been shown that homocysteine plasma level increases in the smoking pregnant women. Besides, a significant decrease in folate plasma level has been found in the same women. It is a folate deficiency that most of all raises homocysteine level in blood plasma. It has been proved that elevated homocysteine level has a direct toxic effect on the endothelium. Microthrombosis and microcirculation loss result in a series of obstetric complications. In late pregnancy, hyperhomocysteinemia causes chronic fetoplacental insufficiency and chronic intrauterine hypoxia. Therefore, many complications from pregnancy, such as gestosis and fetoplacental insufficiency, are associated with hyperhomocysteinemia, which is most probably caused by the smoking derived folate metabolism impairment. Supplementary folate and vitamin B complex therapy may possibly improve the pregnancy and delivery outcome in the pregnant women with high homocysteine plasma level. This, however, requires supportive clinical trials. Smoking cessation at birth spacing and prevention of hyperhomocysteinemia must be an essential condition for favourable prognosis for pregnancy.

Abstract: Multiple pregnancies are pregnancy more than one fetuses. Multiple pregnancies increase seventy percent lately and effected on mortality and morbidity of maternal also fetal. This research is retrospective descriptive study with the purpose is outcome of twins’ delivery in RSUP Prof. DR. R. D Kandou from January 1st 2014 until December 31st 2015. The result of this research show 60 events of twins’ labor from 5038 labors (0.012%), most founded on mother age 21 – 25 years old with primiparas. The twins’ outcome shows the most presentations are cephalic-cephalic with vaginal delivery method. The most duration of gestation is 34 – 37 weeks shows prematurity is high. Female infants dominated. Birthweight show most 2000 – 2499 g on first infants and 2500 – 2999 g on second infants with 6-8 score of apgar.Keywords: twins’ delivery outcome, number of incidence. Abstrak: Kehamilan multijanin adalah kehamilan dengan jumlah janin lebih dari satu. Kehamilan kembar meningkat tujuh puluh persen saat ini dan meningkatkan angka mortalitas maupun morbiditas baik maternal maupun fetal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode retrospektif deskriptif dengan tujuan untuk melihat luaran persalinan gemeli di RSUP Prof. DR. R. D Kandou periode 1 Januari 2014 – 31 Desember 2015. Hasil pengumpulan data dan penelitian menunjukan terdapat 60 kejadian persalinan gemeli dari 5038 persalinan (0.012%), paling banyak ditemukan pada ibu usia 21 – 25 tahun dengan primipara. Luaran bayi ditemukan presentasi bayi paling banyak adalah kepala-kepala, dengan metode persalinan spontan pervaginam. Usia kehamilan terbanyak adalah 34 – 37 minggu yang menunjukan tingginya prematuritas. Bayi perempuan mendominasi. Berat lahir terbanyak adalah 2000 – 2499 g pada bayi 1 dan 2500 – 2999 g pada bayi 2 dengan apgar skor terbanyak 6-8. Kata kunci: luaran persalinan kembar, angka kejadian.
