The Effect of Customers' Satisfaction with Complaint handling on Their Trust and Loyalty, Regarding the Aspects of Perceived Justice

The aim of this research is to study the effects of independent variables like interactive justice, procedural justice, distributive justice, and perceived value on the consequences of loyalty (customer retention) and loyalty (word-of-mouth communications) , regarding the intermediary roles of satisfaction with complaint handling, trust in the company, and trust in the personnel. The statistical population of this research consists of all cell phone users in Tehran. To study the validity and to standardize the research construct, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods were used. The research reliability was measured 0.97 using Cronbach's Alpha. The research is practical in goal, and regarding its methodology it is a descriptive study of survey and correlation types. The conceptual model of the research was confirmed by Structural Equation Modeling using Lisrel software. The results of the research, according to the results of Structural Equations, show that variables like procedural justice and distributive justice have positive impact on satisfaction with complaint handling and the variable of perceived value has a positive effect on loyalty (repurchase intention) and loyalty (word-of- mouth communication), but the hypothesis that satisfaction with complaint handling has a positive effect on trust in company and the personnel and also on loyalty is rejected. Keywords: Interactive Justice, Procedural Justice, Distributive Justice, satisfaction with complaint handling, customer's loyalty, trust in the company and the personnel, perceived value.
NULL MODEL ANALYSES OF SPECIALIZATION IN PLANT–POLLINATOR INTERACTIONS

Recent studies have suggested that plant–pollinator interactions may be less specialized than previously thought. We contrasted patterns of specialization observed in five plant–pollinator interaction webs with predictions based on null models. In the five data sets, the observed number of extreme specialists and extreme generalists was significantly higher than the null expectation. This pattern was mostly due to a positive correlation between species frequency of interaction (f) and their estimated degree of generalization (s). After accounting for this association, the expected frequency distribution of degree of specialization generated by the null model closely matched the observed frequency distribution in the five data sets. A second null model, which explicitly incorporated the correlation between f and s, also generated expected frequency distributions of specialization that closely resemble those observed in the data sets. To make progress in understanding the distribution of degree of specializ.
Influential Factors in the Out-of-class Activities of Korean College Students

Abstract This study aimed to explore who participates in what kinds of out-of-class activities in Korea’s universities. Therefore, the researchers examine whether differences exist in the pattern of outof- class experiences according to the individual characteristics of the students, including gender, grade, household income level, high school performance and major. The researchers also aimed to examine the empirical evidence to determine the relationships between the patterns in out-of-class activities and the institutional characteristics of the university that the student attends. In terms of the institutional characteristics, this study is concerned with the location and size of the university. To explore these questions, the researchers analyzed K-NSSE data with hierarchical linear modeling. In sum, the findings of the statistical analysis of this study support the results of the preceding research in which different personal and institutional characteristics are related to five types of out-of-class activities. Keywords: out-of-class activities, college experiences, K-NSSE, hierarchical linear modeling ----- Bibliography: Bae, Sang Hoon/Jeon, Sue Bin/Han, Song Ie: Influential Factors in the Out-of-Class Activities, IJREE, Vol. 3, Issue 2-2015, pp. 99-122. http://dx.doi. org/10.3224/ijree.v3i2. 20892
Treatment outcome of Tuberculosis Patients at Gambella Hospital, Southwest Ethiopia: Three-year Retrospective Study

Background: The study conducted in Gambella Regional hospital that include three years TB treatment outcome. Methods: This study analyzed the records of 1,156 TB patients registered in hospital from January 2011 to June 2013. Bivariate analyses with a logistic regression model used to analyze the association between treatment outcome and potential predictor variables. Results: The study categorized 1,156 TB patients status as, 251 (21.71%) extra pulmonary TB (EPTB), 398 (34.43%) smear positive pulmonary TB (PTB) and 507 (43.86%) smear negative PTB cases. Among the study subjects, 280 (24.22%) were Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive. The treatment outcome was classified successfully treated, 814(70.76%), defaulted, 97 (8.39%), transferred out, 198 (17.13%), died, 43 (3.72%) and treatment failed, 4 (0.35%) patients. Conclusion: This study showed that TB patients’ treatment success rate treated at the hospital DOTS clinic found below the national success rate. Treatment of HIV-TB co-infection cases needs a better attention in the study area with a continuous of strengthening and monitoring of treatment outcome for successful TB control program. As a recommendation farther research should be done to identify causes of a common reason for unsuccessful treatment outcome in TB patients and working on the increasing awareness of the community.
The impact of foreign and domestic M&A on acquirer's stock prices in Central and Eastern Europe

The primary objective of this thesis is to investigate the value implications of the mergers and acquisitions deals initiated by the firms from the CEE region. We examine the sample of the 203 M&A announcements made by the bidder firms from the two major economies in the region—Poland and Russia—over the period 2006-2016. We apply the event study methodology to investigate the effect of the M&A announcement on the wealth of the acquirers’ shareholders. The results demonstrate that on average investors of the Polish acquirers receive positive short-term wealth effect, while the investors of the Russian firms lose in short-term value. Our empirical findings provide partial support for the positive wealth effect when acquirers target the strategically important asset. Our results hold after controlling for the number of firm and transaction-specific characteristics. JEL Classification G14, G32, G34
Self, Social, and Family Perceptions in Relation to Loneliness Controlling for Depression among Individuals with Schizophrenia

Objective: To examine if self, social, and family perceptions would be related to and predicting loneliness independently, as a measure of depression is statistically controlled among 35 hospitalized Filipino adult men (27-44 years old) with schizophrenia. Method: Partial correlations, simple linear regression, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used. Results: Significant and positive relationships were found among negative self, social, and family perceptions and loneliness without controlling for depression. Depression was the best predictor that explained 25% of the variation in the degree of loneliness and the second best predictor variable was negative self-perceptions, by explaining 24% of the change in loneliness. Based on hierarchical multiple regression analysis holding depression as a covariate, none of the variables including depression indicated a significant predictive relationship to loneliness. Conclusion: Only negative perceptions of self and loneliness were significantly and positively correlated even after controlling for depression. This suggests that negative self-perceptions contribute more to loneliness than depression. This could strengthen the need to focus on self-related issues in the interventions to treat loneliness among persons affected by schizophrenia.

Competitiveness of Jatropha Curcas Production in South-West Nigeria

Nigeria still suffers enormous fuel and energy crises, manifesting in various forms, despite her position as Africa's largest crude oil exporter. Thus, the development of new energy sources such as biofuels from the agricultural sector has been viewed as a way of expanding domestic energy supply, preventing increased dependence on imported oil, as well as diversifying the economy particularly in the face of falling oil prices. This draws attention to Jatropha curcas, an inedible hardy shrub, as a viable choice of feedstock for biodiesel. This study examined the competitiveness, comparative advantage and the effect of government policies on Jatropha curcas production in Southwest Nigeria. Descriptive statistics and the Policy Analysis Matrix were the analytical tools employed. Although the less than unity values of 0.0219 and 0.022 of the domestic resource cost and social cost-benefit ratio respectively, showed that the zone had comparative advantage in Jatropha curcas production, production was not economically profitable under existing government policies as revealed by the negative private profit of â‚¦587.4393/ton. The prevailing incentive structure also affected producers negatively and policy indicators were found to be sensitive to changes in the exchange rate. The study recommends the large-scale cultivation of the produce and the provision of incentives to producers to enhance the competitiveness of the commodity.
Differentiation of Iranian Strains of Brucella spp. by Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA

Summary 101 isolates of Brucella spp. including the reference (n=7) and the Iranian field strains belonging to last years 1961-2003 (n=94) were biotyped and classified into 9 biotypes. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using a ten mer-AP4 primer was generated 72 reproduciable DNA band. The typeability was 100%. The thirteen isolates were classified into five groups, each containing 2-4 biotypes. The high DNA polymorphisms among the strains suggested that animals in Iran have been infected with genetically diverse isolates however, in the last forty years B.abortus biotype A3 and B.melitensis biotype M1 have been predominantly isolated from brucellosis cases. The results indicated that the RAPD analysis using AP4 primer can be used to attain reproducibility amplify random fragments of DNA from Brucella genomes in order to differentiate at species and sub-species for epidemiological purpose.
Domain Alignment with Triplets

Deep domain adaptation methods can reduce the distribution discrepancy by learning domain-invariant embedddings. However, these methods only focus on aligning the whole data distributions, without considering the class-level relations among source and target images. Thus, a target embeddings of a bird might be aligned to source embeddings of an airplane. This semantic misalignment can directly degrade the classifier performance on the target dataset. To alleviate this problem, we present a similarity constrained alignment (SCA) method for unsupervised domain adaptation. When aligning the distributions in the embedding space, SCA enforces a similarity-preserving constraint to maintain class-level relations among the source and target images, i.e., if a source image and a target image are of the same class label, their corresponding embeddings are supposed to be aligned nearby, and vise versa. In the absence of target labels, we assign pseudo labels for target images. Given labeled source images and pseudo-labeled target images, the similarity-preserving constraint can be implemented by minimizing the triplet loss. With the joint supervision of domain alignment loss and similarity-preserving constraint, we train a network to obtain domain-invariant embeddings with two critical characteristics, intra-class compactness and inter-class separability. Extensive experiments conducted on the two datasets well demonstrate the effectiveness of SCA.
Modeling the Effects of the Quantity and Particle Size of Wheat Bran on Some Properties of Bread Dough using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract The aim of this study was to find empirical models for some properties of bread dough as a function of bran concentration and particle size using D-Optimal made by Design Expert Software. Wheat flour was replaced with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% (w/w, flour basis) wheat bran at particle sizes of 170, 280, 425 and 750 μm. Increasing bran concentration and particle size enhanced dough water absorption. Dough arrival and development times increased, while dough stability time, tolerance to mixing and volume rising decreased as the bran particle size and concentration increased. The dough became darker, more reddish and yellower with increasing bran concentration and particle size. Dough hardness increased while cohesiveness decreased with addition of bran concentration and particle size. In general, strong correlations between dough properties with bran quantity and particle size were established. Bran concentration had stronger effect on dough properties compared to its particle size.
Validation of a Multiple Choice English Vocabulary Test with the Rasch Model

Validity is the most salient characteristic of any effective measurement instrument. This paper briefly reviews the Messickian validity framework along with its six facets. Then the Rasch model as a measurement model which yields interval scaling in the social sciences is briefly introduced. The contribution that Rasch model can make to establishing different aspects of validity from Messick's view point is discussed and as an illustrative example, the validity of a multiple-choice test of vocabulary is demonstrated using Rasch analysis. The results show that several items misfit the Rasch model. Distractor analysis showed that a few items have distracters which do not function in the intended way and need to be removed. Item-person map showed that the test was on-target and covered a wide range of the ability scale. The performance of the sample on two subsets of the test revealed that participants had identical measures on the two subsets, which is evidence of the unidimensionality of the instrument.
Explorer TLR4 ligation of dendritic cells is sufficient to drive pathogenic T cell function in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Background: Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) depends on the initial activation of CD4 T cells responsive to myelin autoantigens. The key antigen presenting cell (APC) population that drives the activation of naïve T cells most efficiently is the dendritic cell (DC). As such, we should be able to trigger EAE by transfer of DC that can present the relevant autoantigen(s). Despite some sporadic reports, however, models of DC-driven EAE have not been widely adopted. We sought to test the feasibility of this approach and whether activation of the DC by toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 ligation was a sufficient stimulus to drive EAE. Findings: Host mice were seeded with myelin basic protein (MBP)-reactive CD4+ T cells and then were injected with DC that could present the relevant MBP peptide which had been exposed to lipopolysaccharide as a TLR-4 agonist. We found that this approach induced robust clinical signs of EAE. Conclusions: DC are sufficient as APC to effectively drive the differentiation of naïve myelin-responsive T cells into autoaggressive effector T cells. TLR-4-stimulation can activate the DC sufficiently to deliver the signals required to drive the pathogenic function of the T cell. These models will allow the dissection of the molecular requirements of the initial DC-T cell interaction in the lymphoid organs that ultimately leads to autoimmune pathology in the central nervous system.
Meta-universality classes at criticality

Inferring the presence of critical dynamics from continuous measure- ments is a challenging problem. We solve this problem by showing that continuous narrowband dynamics from a critical system exhibit qualita- tively differing behaviors which depend on the universality class; we term each region of critical avalanche parameters which generates qualitatively constant behavior a meta-universality class. This theoretical observation allows us to infer membership of a given meta-universality class and thus yields a robust test for criticality. We validate these theoretical predic- tions in simulations and provide unequivocal evidence for criticality in the human brain on the basis electrophysiological recordings.
Activity concentration of radionuclides in plants in the environment of Western Ghats

238 U, 232 Th, 40 K and fallout radionuclides 210 Po in different plant species in tropical forest of western Ghats environment, India, is presented. Material and Methods: The Top storey, Short storey, Shrubs and Epiphytic plant species were sampled and concentration of these radionuclides in plant and soil were measured by employing a gamma ray spectrometer and an alpha counter. Results: The soil-plant concentration ratio shows the variation of radionuclide accumulation in different species while a wild plant Elaeocarpus oblongus and epiphytic plants indicated preferential uptake of these radionuclides. Conclusion: The dust particles dust trapped in the root system of epiphytic plants could be used as bioindicator to monitor fallout radionuclides in the Western Ghats. The concentration of 232 Th and 40 K in leaves depends on the age of the leaves
Incentives Through the Cycle: Microfounded Macroprudential Regulation

We provide a micro-based rationale for macroprudential capital regulation by developing a model in which bankers can privately undertake a costly effort and reduce the probability of adverse shocks to their asset holdings that force liquidation (deterioration risk). Low fundamental risk of assets guarantees benevolent funding conditions and banks are able to expand their balance sheets. The high continuation value would, in principle, improve incentives. However, the rise in asset demand and prices may jeopardize bankers' efforts whenever the liquidation price is high enough. This imposes socially inefficient liquidation which can be corrected with a capital requirement that aligns bankers' incentives. We show that a microprudential regulatory regime that disregards the equilibrium effect of asset prices on incentives performs poorly as low fundamental risk may induce high deterioration risk. Overall, the model suggests a theoretical foundation for the countercyclical capital buffer of Basel III, since it prescribes a macroprudential regulatory regime in which the equilibrium feedback effect is fully taken into account.
Measuring Market Power and the Efficiency of Alberta's Restructured Electricity Market: An Energy‐Only Market Design

We measure the degree of market power execution and inefficiencies in Alberta’s restructured electricity market. Using hourly wholesale market data from 2008 to 2014, we find that firms exercise substantial market power in the highest demand hours with limited excess production capacity. The degree of market power execution in all other hours is low. Market inefficiencies are larger in the high demand hours and elevate production costs by 14% - 19% above the competitive benchmark. This reflects 2.35% of the average market price across all hours. A recent regulatory policy clarifies that certain types of unilateral market power execution is permitted in Alberta. We find evidence that suggests that strategic behavior changed after this announcement. Market power execution increased. We illustrate that the observed earnings are often sufficient to promote investment in natural gas based technologies. However, the rents from market power execution can exceed the estimated capacity costs for certain generation technologies. We demonstrate that the energy market profits in the presence of no market power execution are generally insufficient to promote investment in new generation capacity. This stresses the importance of considering both short-run and long-run performance measures.
Effect of hydrophobic primary organic aerosols on secondary organic aerosol formation from ozonolysis of α‐pinene

Semi‐empirical secondary organic aerosol (SOA) models typically assume a well‐mixed organic aerosol phase even in the presence of hydrophobic primary organic aerosols (POA). This assumption significantly enhances the modeled SOA yields as additional organic mass is made available to absorb greater amounts of oxidized secondary organic gases than otherwise. We investigate the applicability of this critical assumption by measuring SOA yields from ozonolysis of α‐pinene (a major biogenic SOA precursor) in a smog chamber in the absence and in the presence of dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and lubricating oil seed aerosol. These particles serve as surrogates for urban hydrophobic POA. The results show that these POA did not enhance the SOA yields. If these results are found to apply to other biogenic SOA precursors, then the semi‐empirical models used in many global models would predict significantly less biogenic SOA mass and display reduced sensitivity to anthropogenic POA emissions than previously thought.
Influence of watering frequency on forage consumption and steer performance in southeastern Kenya.

Forty-five zebu steers (rvg wt 311 kg) were allotted to 3 watering frequency treatments with 15 steers/treatment. The treatments involved watering once every day (l/l), watering once every 2 days (l/2) and watering once every 3 days (l/3) to investigate the effect of watering frequency on forage consumption and steer performance. Three steers/treatment were used to quantify fecal output and estimated forage consumption. All steers were grazed together in a lOO-ha paddock for 10 hours daily and confiied in a corral overnight. Steers were allowed ad libitum access to water only in the evenings according to the watering schedule. The study was conducted over 6 months, during which time total fecal collections were made in March, April, June, and July. All steers were weighed approximately every 2 weeks. Forage consumption was reduced (X0.01) for steers watering (l/2) and (l/3), compared with the (l/l) watered group. Forage intake was highest (X0.01) in April when herbage was green and growing. Steer performance followed a seasonal pattern reflecting changes in forage quality. Watering frequency did not influence steer performance. Reducing watering frequency from daily to once ever 2 or 3 days may enhance utilization of available range and save on cost of providing water for cattle under certain pastoral conditions.
