Measuring and analyzing German and Spanish customer satisfaction of using the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud service
No full textThis paper presents the customer satisfaction analysis for measuring popularity in the Mobile Cloud, which is an emerging area in the Cloud and Big Data Computing. Organizational Sustainability Modeling (OSM) is the proposed method used in this research. The twelve-month of German and Spanish consumer data are used for the analysis to investigate the return and risk status associated with the ratings of customer satisfaction in the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud services. Results show that there is a decline in the satisfaction ratings in Germany and Spain due to economic downturn and competitions in the market, which support our hypothesis. Key outputs have been explained and they confirm that all analysis and interpretations fulfill the criteria for OSM. The use of statistical and visualization method proposed by OSM can expose unexploited data and allows the stakeholders to understand the status of return and risk of their Cloud strategies easier than the use of other data analysis

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to understand the program planning practices of the College of Psychology and tried to plan an ideal program finally. The qualitative study approach and the questionnaire investigation were adopted to examine the Teacher-Chang College of Psychology program. The program planners were interviewed concerning their beliefs of the program goals, the curriculum design of the programs and their evaluation procedures. Through interviews and questionnaire investigations the findings are as follows:
1. People didn’t know the Teacher-Chang College of Psychology very well.
2. The recruiting of lecturers were mainly inner teachers. The groups and workshops were their main curriculum style. The curriculum contents were almost about self-growth and human relationship. The problem of curriculum design was that the Teacher-Chang College of Psychology didn’t have steady lecturer recruit.
3. The Teacher-Chang College of Psychology didn’t have enough program planners and program planners didn’t have enough ability. However there was a discrepancy between the head of Teacher-Chang and other centers.
4. There were not concrete marketing strategy and experts. Marketing strategy is to use old-fashioned media.
5. The main evaluation was quantitative and interview, while qualitative evaluation and whole program evaluation were being neglected.

Review Symposium: Interactionism Meets Historical Analysis: An Author-Critic Dialogue on "Revolution and Witchcraft: The Code of Ideology in Unsettled Times"
No full textIn diesem Artikel wird ein Autor-Kritiker*innen-Treffen zum Buch "Revolution and Witchcraft: The Code of Ideology in Unsettled Times“ von Gordon C. CHANG nachgezeichnet. Die Sitzung fand während der Jahrestagung der Social Science History Association (SSHA) 2024 in Toronto statt. Neben dem Autor nahmen an der Podiumsdiskussion der Soziologe Andrew CHALFOUN (University of California, Los Angeles), der Soziologe Tad SKOTNICKI (University of North Carolina, Greensboro), die Historikerin Aminda SMITH (Michigan State University) und der Kommunikationswissenschaftler J.R. OSBORN (Georgetown University) teil. Der höchst unkonventionelle, interdisziplinäre Charakter des Buches löste einen spannenden Dialog aus. Es wurden unterschiedliche Meinungen zu folgenden Punkten geäußert: 1. Wie – und ob – CHANG mit seinem "Kodifizierungsmodell” einen praktikablen, originellen Ansatz der Wissenssoziologie vorangetrieben hat; 2. die Nützlichkeit dieses Modells für Wissenschaftler*innen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen, die sich mit Ideensystemen und sozialen Phänomenen befassen; 3. der Unterschied zwischen empirisch und ideell basierten Ideensystemen; und 4. wie die mikroskopische Analyse von Sprache kausale Aussagen über makroskopische Muster von humanistischer und sozialwissenschaftlicher Relevanz ermöglichen könnte. Diese Fragen ergaben sich aufgrund von Unterschieden zwischen verschiedenen Ansätzen des Interaktionismus und der historischen Analyse. In diesem Dialog werden methodische Entscheidungen und Urteile offenbart, die in CHANGs eklektischer Studie eine Rolle gespielt haben, sowie Anwendungen und Bereiche zukünftiger Entwicklungen, die ansonsten im Forschungsprodukt verborgen bleiben.In this article, an author-meets-critics session is recorded for the book "Revolution and Witchcraft: The Code of Ideology in Unsettled Times," authored by Gordon C. CHANG. The session took place at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Social Science History Association (SSHA) in Toronto, Canada. Beside the author, panelists included sociologist Andrew CHALFOUN (University of California, Los Angeles); sociologist Tad SKOTNICKI (University of North Carolina, Greensboro); historian Aminda SMITH (Michigan State University); and communication scholar J.R. OSBORN (Georgetown University). The highly unconventional, cross-disciplinary nature of the book sparked an engaging dialogue. Differing opinions were voiced regarding: 1. How—and whether— CHANG in his "codification model" advanced a workable, original sociology of knowledge approach; 2. the utility of that model for scholars from different disciplines who study idea systems and social phenomena; 3. the difference between idea systems that are empirically based and those that are ideationally based; and 4. how microscopic analysis of language might make causal claims about macroscopic patterns of humanistic and social-scientific relevance. These issues arose due to differences between and among diverse approaches of interactionism and historical analysis. In this dialogue, methodological decisions and judgments are unveiled which were involved in CHANG's eclectic study, as well as applications and areas of future development that are otherwise hidden in the research product
