Abstract null null Although there is a shift in consumers' consumption behavior towards more sustainable patterns across a variety of different contexts, sustainable apparel has still not become a mainstream trend despite the textile industry's excessive usage of valuable resources. Albeit extant research found different potential barriers elucidating why consumers hesitate to purchase such apparel, it remains unclear whether sustainability really matters to consumers in a clothing context and f...

The degree of semantic relatedness (or, closeness in meaning) of two units of language has long been considered fundamental to understanding meaning. Automatically determining relatedness has many applications such as question answering and summarization. However, prior NLP work has largely focused on semantic similarity (a subset of relatedness), because of a lack of relatedness datasets. Here for the first time, we introduce a dataset of semantic relatedness for sentence pairs. This dataset, S...

Many public opinion surveys compare trust in a number of different information and (mediated) knowledge sources, typically using closed questions with a set of answer categories that are imposed by researchers. We aim to validate these categories by quantitatively comparing survey responses about trustworthy sources using open and closed questions, and by qualitatively analyzing the open answers. The results show that answer options typically used for closed questions in academic research are ge...

Abstract null null The objectives of the study are the identification of obstacles to the use of recycled concrete and the empirical examination of the effectiveness of selected economic policy measures to increase the use of recycled concrete in building construction. Combined item-based and factorial survey of Swiss and German executing companies in the construction and concrete value chain was carried out. Results indicate that the consideration of recycled materials in the public tender incr...

Abstract Transformative experience has been the buzzword in recent years. Tourism and hospitality experiences in natural, historical, cultural, and authentic spaces are some of them. However, to this date, specific dimensions of transformation or its process have not been empirically identified. This study reviewed the literature on transformation, used open-ended questions to collect free-elicited responses on the meanings of transformation, collected expert opinion, and developed a 101-item sc...

Current pre-trained models applied to summarization are prone to factual inconsistencies which either misrepresent the source text or introduce extraneous information. Thus, comparing the factual consistency of summaries is necessary as we develop improved models. However, the optimal human evaluation setup for factual consistency has not been standardized. To address this issue, we crowdsourced evaluations for factual consistency using the rating-based Likert scale and ranking-based Best-Worst ...

Policymakers may wish to take into account public opinion on climate change as they craft legislation, but if public opinion changes substantially in response to seemingly trivial changes in survey questionnaire design, perhaps such reliance would be unwise. This paper examines 110 experiments implemented in surveys of truly random samples of American adults between 2012 and 2018 (N=4414), exploring the extent to which answers to questions were influenced by order and wording manipulations. Of 1...
