Decoding digital transformational outsourcing: The role of service providers’ capabilities

The business process outsourcing industry has got disrupted, first by the significant shift in value creation activities from the clients to the service providers, and second by pervasive digital penetration, resulting in the emergence of Digital Transformational Outsourcing (DTO). Service providers now play a more significant role, making their capabilities important. In the new context, service providers require a uniquely different set of dynamic capabilities to handle end-to-end business functions on behalf of their clients while delivering digital value propositions.We study 26 of the largest global business process outsourcing providers to conceptualise and identify six dynamic capabilities of service providers salient in the new context, i.e., consultative, orchestration, insights, network management, knowledge access, and standardisation. Interviews conducted with industry experts provided evidence in support of the identified dynamic capabilities. A novel firm capability dataset was created using secondary data, and using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), we identify configurations for high and low performance and find them to vary by the firm's broad/narrow scope.     

Cross-company customer churn prediction in telecommunication: A comparison of data transformation methods

Cross-Company Churn Prediction (CCCP) is a domain of research where one company (target) is lacking enough data and can use data from another company (source) to predict customer churn successfully. To support CCCP, the cross-company data is usually transformed to a set of similar normal distribution of target company data prior to building a CCCP model. However, it is still unclear which data transformation method is most effective in CCCP. Also, the impact of data transformation methods on CCCP model performance using different classifiers have not been comprehensively explored in the telecommunication sector. In this study, we devised a model for CCCP using data transformation methods (i.e., log, z-score, rank and box-cox) and presented not only an extensive comparison to validate the impact of these transformation methods in CCCP, but also evaluated the performance of underlying baseline classifiers (i.e., Naive Bayes (NB), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Gradient Boosted Tree (GBT), Single Rule Induction (SRI) and Deep learner Neural net (DP)) for customer churn prediction in telecommunication sector using the above mentioned data transformation methods. We performed experiments on publicly available datasets related to the telecommunication sector. The results demonstrated that most of the data transformation methods (e.g., log, rank, and box-cox) improve the performance of CCCP significantly. However, the Z-Score data transformation method could not achieve better results as compared to the rest of the data transformation methods in this study. Moreover, it is also investigated that the CCCP model based on NB outperform on transformed data and DP, KNN and GBT performed on the average, while SRI classifier did not show significant results in term of the commonly used evaluation measures (i.e., probability of detection, probability of false alarm, area under the curve and g-mean).     

小于通气阈强度运动对脑电地形图影响的研究

对体育系男学生(20名)在安静状态、小于通气阈强度负荷运动后即刻1min的脑电变化进行测试得出结论：小于通气阈强度运动在一定程度上对大脑皮质产生影响，增进了大脑细胞新陈代谢强度，可改善大脑皮质神经元代谢能力，可改善和提高脑皮层神经细胞工作能力。

三种强度运动对脑电地形图影响的比较研究

采用实验研究方法，对体育系男学生(20名)在安静状态、小于通气阈强度、通气阈强度、大于通气阈强度负荷后即刻1min的脑电变化进行测试。结论：通气阈强度运动在一定程度上对大脑皮质产生影响，增进了大脑细胞新陈代谢强度，可改善大脑皮质神经元代谢能力，使其产生复杂的生理效应和训练效应，对脑皮层神经细胞工作能力的改善和提高很显著；大于通气阈强度运动后易使中枢神经细胞产生疲劳。     

论大众竞技运动与精英竞技运动的协调发展

体育与竞技运动是两个不同的概念 ,两者都有普及与提高的问题 ,精英竞技运动的发展不是建立在大众体育和学校体育的基础之上的 ,其发展的基础是竞技运动在全社会的普及。传统的认识存在许多缺陷 ,导致在实践中产生很多偏差。讨论了大众竞技运动与精英竞技运动的异同 ,分析了西方国家管理与发展竞技运动的模式、中国发展竞技运动成功的经验及存在的问题 ,说明了应如何理解所谓大众竞技运动与精英竞技运动协调发展的问题 ,最后从 5个方面探讨了大众竞技运动与精英竞技运动协调发展的基本对策。     

析韩国足球崛起的综合效应--论当代"三力合一"的竞技运动

当前世界竞技运动存在着一种偏重于从生物学角度研究提高运动员能力的倾向．以致造成国际赛场上常出现重物轻人的异化现象。本文以韩国足球崛起为例，从生物学、心理学和社会学3个方面研究当代竞技运动物力、心力和外力的聚合，为提高运动员的综合素质，抵制国际竞技运动因过度商业化、职业化和兴奋剂滥用导致的异化现象提供理论依据，为积极促进国际奥林匹克运动可持续发展提供思想资源。

对微机房供电电源线配置的几点看法

在工程实践中,对于微型计算机机房的电源供电线路设计及施工,不仅要考虑工程的经济效益、工程的施工难度和工作环境的人身安全,而且还应考虑由于电源电路形成的杂散磁场对显示器的影响,以避免显示器的工作失常。对于不同的机房环境条件下的微机显示器的配置应采用不同的方案。
