Maintaining Professional Relations with Patients When Unexpected Things Happen: The Case for Service Recovery by David W. Chambers

“…It also happens that patients do not always live up to dentist’s expectations.Methods A large general literature shows that service recovery can vary from the protracted and expensive to well-managed cases where patients and professionals emerge with even more positive relationships than they had before the error occurred.Results Five steps in managing service recovery are presented: (a) have a policy of prevention and preparation, (b) clarify your role, (c) listen, (d) agree on the best available mutual path forward, and (e) learn from the experience.Conclusions Available service recovery strategies range from practice development to service recovery, to mediation, to arbitration, to litigation, and even to loss of license.Practical Implications The ultimate service recovery strategy accepts some errors as inevitable and manages these through continuous quality improvement.…”

Research and implementation of intelligent terminal lightweight face recognition system by Guo-jun MA, Hai-dong ZHOU

“…In order to solve this problem that traditional face recognition scheme was not efficiently suitable to intelligent terminal scene.An improved lightweight scheme of feature weighted clustering matching based on SIFT was presented.The scheme can learn automatically and adaptively add test samples to the training sample space.Reasonable division and scientific distribution of weight make this scheme has improved at run time and recognition rate.The improved algorithm has been tested in the ORL face database and Yale face database,compared with the classical SIFT algorithm the recognition rate improved by 6.13% and 14.11%,the running efficiency increased 9.1% and 4.7%.At the same time,in accordance with the test method by Zhou,in the ORL face database,the recognition rate was up to 74.05%,significantly improved than PCA,LBP and other classical algorithm.The algorithm in Android terminal is implemented,and the improved algorithm is verified to be available in the Android system by experiments.Finally,an improved scheme was proposed based on the cloud architecture.…”

Block-chain abnormal transaction detection method based on adaptive multi-feature fusion by Huijuan ZHU, Jinfu CHEN, Zhiyuan LI, Shangnan YIN

“…Aiming at the problem that the performance of intelligent detection models was limited by the representation ability of original data (features), a residual network structure ResNet-32 was designed to automatically mine the intricate association relationship between original features, so as to actively learn the high-level abstract features with rich semantic information.Low-level features were more transaction content descriptive, although their distinguishing ability was weaker than that of the high-level features.How to integrate them together to obtain complementary advantages was the key to improve the detection performance.Therefore, multi feature fusion methods were proposed to bridge the gap between the two kinds of features.Moreover, these fusion methods can automatically remove the noise and redundant information from the integrated features and further absorb the cross information, to acquire the most distinctive features.Finally, block-chain abnormal transaction detection model (BATDet) was proposed based on the above presented methods, and its effectiveness in the abnormal transaction detection is verified.…”
