This study applies the germane principles of service-dominant logic by investigating how different dimensions of service value impact customers’ satisfaction and related behavioral intentions in the surf camps context. An empirical model was developed and tested via survey responses from 300 Portuguese surf camps tourists who profiled their experience. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling, specifically Partial Least Squares (PLS-PM). Results highlight the respective impact the numerous value dimensions (functional, emotional, social, epistemic, experiential, and contextual) have on the overall level of perceived value as well as its resultant impact on satisfaction and repurchase intentions.
APPENDIX ~LASSIFICATION OF LINESand the type, weight, and speed of the traffic which they carry, in accordance withThe running lines of British Railways are classified according to their importance the ruling of the Railway Executive shown in Table 8. B ii C DLines subject to speeds exceeding 60 miles per hour, over which twelve or more express passenger-trsins operate regularly (winter Lines subject to speeds of 60 miles per hour and over, but not timetable) per 24 hours.qualified to be classed as A lines. Lines carrying intensive traffic even though the speed is less than 60 miles per hour. Lines subject to maximum speeds of 45 to 60 miles per hour. Lines subject to speeds of less than 45 miles per hour. traffic density ; for example, high axle-loads of locomotives or other special uses.Note : A limited mileage of lines is classified for reasons other than speed and/or of the line. New material is used on A and B lines, the rails being of the standard The permanent-way material used is graded in accordance with the classification flat bottom section weighing 109 lb. per yard, or of the former standard bull-head flat-bottom section weighing 98 lb. per yard, or second-hand rails with equivalent section weighing 95 lb. per yard. On class C lines the rails are either of the standard life; the other material is new. On class D lines the whole of the material is second-hand, the rails being of slightly lighter weight than those used in C lines. DiscussionThe Authors introduced the Paper with the aid of a series of lantern slides.The Chairman said that both the Authors were steeped in the subject with which they had been dealing, and it must have been comparatively simple for them to produce the Paper, because they were thinking about the subject all day long and could easily put on paper exactly what they knew. To one who was perhaps not so familiar as he had been a year ago with those matters, it seemed very simple to look at the charts which had been given, and he did not agree with Mr Maycock that they were complicated ; they seemed to be extraordinarily simple, but whether they were quite so simple as they seemed would no doubt be made clear in the subsequent discussion. The subject was a most important one to British DISCUSSION ON RECENT DEVELOPMENTSRailways, and the Paper and discussion should be of value not only in Great Britain but overseas ; there were people abroad who still looked to the mother country for a lead in such matters.Mr J. Taylor Thompson said that the subject of the Paper had occupied the attention of railway engineers the world over for very many years. In Great Britain it had become of special interest in about the year 1935, when high-speed trains had started to run on both the East Coast and the West Coaat main lines. A speed of 126 miles per hour had been achieved, and it had been obvious that very high speeds were going t o be attained in normal running. The result of that was that the range of speeds increased enormously, from the slow freight train a t perhaps 25 t o 35 miles per ho...
Rather than treating symptoms of a destructive agri-food system, agricultural policy, research, and advocacy need both to address the root causes of dysfunction and to learn from longstanding interventions to counter it. Specifically, this paper focuses on agricultural parity policies – farmer-led, government-enacted programs to secure a price floor and manage supply to prevent the economic and ecological devastation of unfettered corporate agro-capitalism. Though these programs remain off the radar in dominant policy, scholarship, and civil society activism, but in the past few years, vast swaths of humanity have mobilized in India to call for agri-food systems transformation through farmgate pricing and market protections. This paper asks what constitutes true farm justice and how it could be updated and expanded as an avenue for radically reimagining agriculture and thus food systems at large. Parity refers to both a pricing ratio to ensure livelihood, but also a broader farm justice movement built on principles of fair farmgate prices and cooperatively coordinated supply management. The programs and principles are now mostly considered “radical,” deemed inefficient, irrelevant, obsolete, and grievous government overeach—but from the vantage, we argue, of a system that profits from commodity crop overproduction and agroindustry consolidation. However, by examining parity through a producer-centric lens cognizant of farmers‘ ability, desire, and need to care for the land, ideas of price protection and supply coordination become foundational, so that farmers can make a dignified livelihood stewarding land and water while producing nourishing food. This paradox—that an agricultural governance principle can seem both radical and common sense, far-fetched and pragmatic—deserves attention and analysis. As overall numbers of farmers decline in Global North contexts, their voices dwindle from these conversations, leaving space for worldviews favoring de-agrarianization altogether. In Global South contexts maintaining robust farming populations, such policies for deliberate de-agrarianization bely an aggression toward rural and peasant ways of life and land tenure. Alongside the history of parity programs, principles, and movements in U.S., the paper will examine a vast version of a parity program in India – the Minimum Support Price (MSP) system, which Indian farmers defended and now struggle to expand into a legal right. From East India to the plains of the United States and beyond, parity principles and programs have the potential to offer a pragmatic direction for countering global agro-industrial corporate capture, along with its de-agrarianization, and environmental destruction. The paper explores what and why of parity programs and movements, even as it addresses the complexity of how international parity agreements would unfold. It ends with the need for global supply coordination grounded in food sovereignty and solidarity, and thus the methodological urgency of centering farm justice and agrarian expertise.
