Based on the results generated from the analysis of the data, it could be concluded that in the Asian, Australian, and European continents, service quality played a more important and significant role in affecting consumers’ repurchase intention in the e-commerce industry compared to website design quality. In contrast, the results generated in this research also concluded that website design quality played a more important role in affecting consumers’ repurchase intention in the American e-commerce industry. Furthermore, customer satisfaction mediated the relationship between website design quality and service quality toward consumers’ repurchase intention in the Asian, Australian, European, and American e-commerce industry.
Pro-inflammatory and angiogenic activities of VEGF and angiopoietins in murine sponge/Matrigel model

A key feature in the induction of pathological angiogenesis is that inflammation precedes and accompanies the formation of neovessels as evidenced by increased vascular permeability and the recruitment of inflammatory cells. Previously, we and other groups have shown that selected growth factors, namely vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietins (Ang1 and Ang2) do not only promote angiogenesis, but can also induce inflammatory response. Herein, given a pro-inflammatory environment, we addressed the individual capacity of VEGF and angiopoietins to promote the formation of mature neovessels and to identify the different types of inflammatory cells accompanying the angiogenic process over time. Sterilized polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) sponges soaked in growth factor-depleted Matrigel mixed with PBS, VEGF, Ang1, or Ang2 (200 ng/200ml) were subcutaneously inserted into anesthetizedmice. Sponges were removed at day 4, 7, 14, or 21 post-procedure for histological, immunohistological (IHC), and flow cytometry analyses. As compared to PBS-treated sponges, the three growth factors promoted the recruitment of inflammatory cells, mainly neutrophils and macrophages, and to a lesser extent, Tand B-cells. In addition, theyweremore potent andmore rapid in the recruitment of endothelial cells (ECs) and in the formation andmaturation (ensheating of smooth muscle cells around ECs) of neovessels. Thus, the autocrine/paracrine interaction among the different inflammatory cells in combination with VEGF, Ang1, or Ang2 provides a suitable microenvironment for the formation and maturation of blood vessels.

Creep rupture behaviour of modified 9Cr-1Mo heat-resistant steel strengthened with different mechanisms

ABSTRACT The creep rupture behaviours and microstructural changes of a modified 9Cr-1Mo heat-resistant steel were investigated at 853 K. Analysis of creep results suggests that dislocation climb is the dominant deformation mechanism with true stress exponent of 5 under the present conditions. Based on the microstructural analysis, strengthening contributions from M23C6 carbides and MX carbonitrides were clarified. The M23C6 carbides can promote grain boundary strengthening by exerting Zener pinning forces, whereas MX carbonitrides can enhance the creep strength by interacting with mobile dislocations to induce threshold stress. Besides, softening of the steel is related not only to the decrease of dislocations, but also the coarsening of precipitates and substructures. The value of creep damage tolerance factor is close to 6.6, which further confirms that the creep damage is mainly attributed to the microstructural degradations, such as the coarsening of precipitates and substructures and decrease of dislocations.

Experimental study on leveling mechanism for material-jetting-type color 3D printing

The material-jetting-type (MJ) 3-D printing technology has advantages in resolution and color printing. During the printing process, a leveling technique is needed to precisely control the thickness and flatness of each layer. Roller-type leveling mechanism has been adopted in commercial MJ 3-D printers, but it is lack of research on roller leveling process parameters and establishing experimental procedures. Therefore, in this study, a roller-type leveling mechanism for a MJ color 3 D printer was developed, and experimental approaches were utilized to determine process parameters. ,The roller-type leveling mechanism was chosen to provide functions of flattening and removal of excess material. The parameters studied were roller speed and rotational direction. Surface roughness, Ra, of printed single-layered specimens was measured at 15 locations for plane roughness and along five lines for line roughness to evaluate the leveling results. Adopting suitable parameters, color samples with and without leveling were printed for comparison and verification. ,According to plane roughness results, forward rotation achieved better leveling. Plane roughness was the major criteria to determine roller speed with the assistance of standard deviation of line roughness. The best parameters of the self-developed MJ color 3-D printer were found to be rolling forward at 1,100 rpm. In addition, printed color samples showed great improvement in surface roughness with leveling and no obvious color mixing after leveling. ,Leveling is important to achieve desired layer thickness, smooth surface and good color quality in color 3-D printing. For MJ 3-D printing, only patents were revealed regarding roller design, but paper publications have not been presented. This research practically proposed to use experimental approach to understand the effects of roller operating parameters and to find the suitable ones based on surface roughness results. ,This research established the experimental procedures and also suggested guidelines of experimentally obtaining suitable roller leveling process parameters. Developers can refer to this study results to design and adjust leveling mechanism in a new MJ 3-D printer. ,The experimental approach can be applied to similar MJ 3-D printing systems if different materials are introduced or the platform speed is changed. The observed trends suggested several guidelines to plan limited experiments only to obtain suitable roller process parameters.
Spatial and temporal distributions of drought in Hebei Province over the past 50 years

In the context of global warming and human activities,drought has become one of the most serious meteorological disasters in the world.As a major grain producing province in China,Hebei Province shows great vulnerability to drought.In this paper,standardized precipitation index(SPI) was used as drought indicator and precipitation in meteorological stations of China from 1958 to 2007 was used to calculate the index in spring,summer,autumn and winter.Kriging interpolation was applied to SPI values in each station so that all the values could be spatially and temporally comparable.Based on raster data of seasonal SPI,drought rate and drought probability were calculated to show the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of drought in Hebei Province over the past 50 years.The results showed that spring drought was the most serious event in a year and the drought rate showed a gradually declining trend.Drought rate in summer presented an upward trend,but in autumn and winter it showed slightly declining trends.The 50-year average drought rates in spring,summer,autumn and winter were 30.0%,26.0%,27.6% and 26.0%,respectively.Over the past 50 years in Hebei Province,spring drought in the 1970s was the most severe one.The most serious interdecadal droughts occurred respectively in summer since 2000,autumn in the 1960s and winter in the 1990s.Occurrence probability of spring drought was more than 20% in the whole province and drought-prone areas with the probability more than 30% were almost distributed in each city.In most areas,occurrence probability of summer drought,autumn drought and winter drought was from 20% to 30%. In summer,drought-prone areas were mainly located in the north and southwest of Hebei.Drought-prone areas in autumn were mainly located in the western and southern parts and in winter they were mainly distributed in the northern part.In order to do a good job in drought prevention and mitigation in Hebei Province,government and agricultural managers should pay more attention to the droughts that occur from spring to autumn,especially the spring drought.Moreover,irrigation systems should be further strengthened and improved in the mountain farms mainly located in the west and north of Hebei Province.
The Efficacy of Artesunate Monotherapy Compared to Quinine-Azithromycin Combination for Treatment of Uncomplicated Falciparum Malaria in Children

Department of Health, Republic of Indonesia had changed the standard treatment of falciparum malaria into artesunate-amodiaquine combination since the end of 2004. We need to find alternative drug if this combination drug is not available. This study was aimed to compare the efficacy of artesunate monotherapy with quinine-azithromycin combination, as a treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in children. A randomized open label clinical trial was conducted on July to August 2007 at Mandailing Natal, Sumatera Utara Province, in 5 to 18 years old children with positive P. falciparum from the peripheral blood smear. Group I received artesunate monotherapy orally and group II received quinine combined with azithromycin orally. Parasitemia was counted on day 0, 2, 7, and 28. The cure rate was 100% and no recrudescence for both group on day 2, 7, and 28 (P=0,001). Headache, vomiting, and tinnitus adverse event was found in 14, 7 and 4 children in group II (P=0,0001; 0,027; 0,039) respectively. Both of drugs can be used as alternative treatment for uncomplicated falciparum malaria in children, but combination of quinine-azithromycin have more serious adverse reactions than artesunate monotherapy.
EFEITO DO GLICEROL NAS PROPRIEDADES MECÂNICAS DE FILMES A BASE DE QUITOSANA

A quitosana é um polímero com excelente capacidade de formação de gel. Possui ação antimicrobiana e é um material completamente degradado por microrganismos em processo de decomposição. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver filmes biodegradáveis a base de quitosana e avaliar o efeito da adição de glicerol nas suas propriedades mecânicas. Os filmes foram obtidos pelo método casting a partir de soluções filmogênicas com 2% de quitosana, 5% de ácido acético glacial e diferentes concentrações de glicerol (0,5; 0,75 e 1,0%). Os filmes foram caracterizados quanto à espessura, propriedades de tração e teste de perfuração. Apresentaram espessura média de 46,0 ± 5,0 µm, coloração amarelada, homogêneos e com boa maleabilidade. O filme com 0,5% de glicerol suportou uma tensão significativamente maior que os demais. A adição de 0,75% e 1,0% de glicerol causou uma redução de 34,4 % e 39,9 % nesta propriedade, respectivamente, em relação ao filme com 0,5% de glicerol. Quanto ao módulo de elasticidade, o aumento da concentração do plastificante causou redução da rigidez dos filmes na região de comportamento elástico. As diferentes concentrações utilizadas de glicerol não interferiram significativamente nos parâmetros de elongação e teste de perfuração.
Postnatal perineal trauma and general health in Maltese women.

Over the last twenty years there has been an increasing international research interest in women’s experience of postnatal perineal trauma and its impact on their physical, psychological and sexual health. To date, however, no research on perineal morbidity and general health has been undertaken in Malta. Using a longitudinal descriptive correlational design, a homogenous systematic sample of 144 Maltese postnatal mothers was recruited with the aim of exploring the relationship between perineal trauma and general health following normal delivery. Self-administered questionnaires within 48 hour s of delivery and again at 10 days, 6 weeks and 13 weeks sought to assess perineal pain, urinary and faecal continence, resumption of sexual intercourse and dyspareunia. The General Health Questionnaire-12 (Goldberg and Williams, 1998) assessed mothers’ psychosocial health. Open-ended questions explored further their experience of perineal trauma and general health. The retention rate at the end of time 4 was 86.1%. Following descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, the key findings revealed a constant decline in perineal trauma and an inconsistent but significant rise in general health over time. Mothers sutured by senior hospital officers reported higher scores of well-being, and resumed sexual intercourse earlier than those sutured by registrars and senior registrars. Significant negative correlations persisted between postnatal total perineal trauma and resumption of sexual intercourse at 13 weeks but not at 6 weeks. Qualitative data generated three main themes: experiencing total perineal trauma, resuming sexual intercourse and maintaining general health. Mothers identified tiredness, exhaustion and emotional pain as other burdens alongside a painful perineum. ‘Being not ready yet’, ‘fear of falling pregnant again’ and ‘caring for the baby and family’ were reasons preventing postpartum sexual intercourse. Tedeschi, Park and Calhoun’s (1998) post-traumatic growth theory provided an overarching theoretical framework.

Intellectual capital and resilience in torn societies

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the association between intellectual capital (IC) and resilience in torn societies while proposing an integrative framework. Due to adversities faced by entrepreneurs in such contexts, an understanding of the role of resilience along with IC has become crucial for businesses to succeed and survive.Design/methodology/approachThis study takes an in-depth look at the three components of IC – human, organizational and external capital and their association with resilience. In order to do so, a qualitative study on 17 Iraqi micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) was conducted using data collected through semi-structured interviews with the founders. The interviews were translated and coded by native speakers.FindingsThe results suggest that IC and resilience are interrelated concepts where IC components contribute to the resilience capabilities of entrepreneurs to survive and continue their businesses during turbulent times.Practical implicationsImplications for managers and policymakers are presented; in brief, strategies and policies are required to support entrepreneurial success in the Iraqi context.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the literature on IC for entrepreneurs. So far, few studies have dealt with the association between IC and resilience, and less so in torn societies. This paper contributes to research on enterprise development and survival under conflict zones; it highlights some of the factors that could form resilience of a MSME in the face of uncertainty; and it contributes to the literature on IC as it helps us understand certain capacities that build up and/or support MSME resilience in such a context.
Comparative Analysis of Manual, Rotary and Reciprocal Systems on Primary Teeth Root Canals: An In Vitro Scanning Electron Microscopy Study

Objective: To evaluate the residual debris and smear layer formation, and also preparation time of one or multifile manual, rotary, and reciprocal systems on primary teeth. Materials and methods: A total of 75 primary mandibular molar teeth were randomly divided to five groups (n=15). The distal canals of teeth were shaped with each of the K file, Protaper, Twisted File, OneShape, and Reciproc systems. Preparation time was also recorded. Longitudinal sections groups were prepared and processed for observation under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at a standard magnification of X1000 for smear layer and X200 for residual debris. The presence of smear layer and residual debris was evaluated by two trained operators. The data of preparation time and also debris and smear scores were analyzed using ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test, respectively. Results: Reciproc and OneShape systems had significantly less instrumentation time than all other groups (p<0.001). The results of statistical analyses were the same for the residual debris and smear layer scores. In the coronal thirds of the canals, the canal preparation with the Protaper system resulted in significantly less debris and smear layer compared with the OneShape system (p=0.015). In the middle thirds of the canals, OneShape and Reciproc systems had more residual debris and smear layer than the Protaper system (p<0.05). In the apical thirds of the canals, the use of the Protaper instruments resulted in less debris and smear layer than the Reciproc system (p=0.034). Conclusion: Within the limits of this study, the Protaper system, which showed better cleaning efficacy and was also faster than the manual system, can be an effective alternative to other systems in the root canal treatment of primary molars. More in vitro and clinical investigations are needed on root canal treatment of primary teeth.
