Where is the Security Blanket? Developing Social Media Marketing Capability as a Shield from Perceived Cybersecurity Risk

ABSTRACT Although cybersecurity is important for any organization, firms have little understanding of the ramifications of perceived cybersecurity risk and how marketers can avert its negative marketing outcomes. The inability of firms to prevent massive data breaches in the recent past has heightened cybersecurity risk perceptions of customers and cybersecurity-related marketing challenges and opportunities. This study links cybersecurity risk with firm risk through firm reputation by developing a conceptual framework grounded in perceived risk theory in conjunction with dynamic capabilities and social network theoretical perspectives. Our findings show that social media marketing capabilities enable firms in mitigating the adverse impact of cybersecurity risk in declining firm reputation and value. Thus, this study provides significant implications for marketing theory and practice.

Public Service Motivation Differences BetweenPermanent and Contract Employees in the Local Government

This article examines the distinction of public service motivation (PSM) on street-level bureaucracy in Indonesia. Focus of this study is to review the differentiation of public service motivation between permanent and contract employees in sub-districts of Tanjungpinang, Kepulauan Riau. The dimensions and indicators of Perry’s (1996) measurement of PSM is used to analyze the differentiation of public service motivation between permanent and contract employees. Independent sampel t-test has employed to 129 government employees and 74 non-government employees in Tanjungpinang. Unlike in developed countries that PSM of its civil services are higher than PSM of contract employees, the findings of this research proves that there is no differences between PSM of permanent and contract employees. The findings of this research rejects the conclusion of foreign scholars suggesting the PSM construct was viable for internationally environment.
Concerted inhibition of the transcriptional activation functions of the enhancer‐binding protein NIFA by the anti‐activator NIFL

The Azotobacter vinelandii NIFL regulatory flavoprotein responds to the redox, energy and nitrogen status of the cell to inhibit transcriptional activation by the σN‐dependent enhancer binding protein, NIFA, via the formation of a NIFL–NIFA protein complex. The NIFA protein contains three domains: an N‐terminal domain of unknown function; a central catalytic domain required to couple nucleotide hydrolysis to activation of the σN‐RNA polymerase holoenzyme; and a C‐terminal DNA‐binding domain. We report that truncated NIFA proteins that either lack the amino‐terminal domain or contain only the isolated central domain remain responsive to inhibition by NIFL but, in contrast to native NIFA, continue to hydrolyse nucleotides when NIFL is present. We also report that NIFL is competent to inhibit the DNA‐binding function of NIFA. Taken together, these results suggest that NIFL inhibits NIFA via a concerted mechanism in which DNA binding, catalytic activity and, potentially, interaction with the polymerase are controlled by NIFL in order to prevent transcriptional activation under detrimental environmental conditions.
[Efficacy of nasal packing, septal suture technique and vacuum sealing drainage after nasal septum surgery].

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nasal packing, septal suture technique and vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) after septoplasty. METHOD Ninety patients of nasal septal deviation in Combination with outfracture of the inferior turbinates who had received septoplasty were selected in this study. The patients were allocated into three groups, with thirty in each: for packing group, marcel materials were used for nasal packing after septoplasty; for suturing group, septal suture technique was performed after septoplasty; for VSD group, one drainage tube was used for negative pressure sucking after septoplasty without nasal packing. Postoperative signs and symptoms were compared between three groups. The comfort degree assessment included headache and nasal obstruction were evaluated by using visual analogue scale (VAS) at the 12th hour and 24 hour after operation. The edema in nasal cavity, hemorrhage. abscess,adhesive and healing rates after operation were compared among three groups. RESULT The VAS score of headache and nasal obstruction and the severity of patient's conditions were significantly less in septal suture group and VSD group than that in packing group at the 12th and 24th hour after operation. The mucosa edema of nasal cavity was significantly slighter in septal suture group and VSD group than that in packing group at the third day after operation. The healing rates and number of complications are better in septal suture group and VSD group than those in packing group at the 7th day after operation. There were no hemorrhage or abscess in VSD group. CONCLUSION Septal suture technique and VSD after septoplasty can significantly relieve the distress of patients and reduce the healing time of mucosa in nasal cavity without increasing the risk of complications.
Extrusion cooking of a high-fibre cereal product

1. The effect of extrusion cooking, using mild conditions, of a high-fibre cereal product on apparent small bowel absorption of zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus was studied. 2. Seven ileostomy subjects were studied during two periods (each of 4d), on a constant low-fibre diet supplemented with either 54 g/d of a bran-gluten-starch mixture or the corresponding extruded product. 3. The apparent absorption of Zn, Mg and P was significantly decreased (P < 0.05) during the period with extruded product compared with the period with bran-gluten-starch. No difference was found for Fe and Ca. 4. The negative effect of extrusion cooking of a product containing phytic acid on availability of Zn, Mg and P was small but could be of nutritional relevance in foodstuffs that are consumed frequently and in infant formulas.
Photoassociative spectroscopy as a self-sufficient tool for the determination of the Cs triplet scattering length

In photoassociation spectroscopy, the line intensities of a given vibrational progression exhibit zero-signal modulation reflecting the node structure of the s-wave ground state wave function of two free colliding atoms. This leads to the determination of the scattering length. We performed photoassociation of cold Cs atoms polarized in the Zeeman sublevel f = 4, m(f) = 4. We analyzed the intensities of the lines associated with the Cs2 0(-)(g) state dissociating to the 6s(1/2)+6p(3/2) asymptote. This yields a value of the Cs triplet state scattering length, a(T) = -530a(0), while consistency requirements impose a value of the multipole ground state molecular coefficient, C6 = 6510 a.u.

The present study aimed to examine whether demographic as well as psychosocial variables related to the five stages of change of the Transtheoretical Model can predict non‐clinical adults' cancer preventive and health‐promoting behaviors. This study specifically focused on cancer, one of the major chronic diseases, which is a serious threat of national health.
Insights for a post-Brexit era: marketing the UK as a study destination – an analysis of Arab, Chinese, and Indian student choices

ABSTRACT Britain’s scheduled exit from the European Union (‘Brexit’) has long-term ramifications for strategic marketing. Faced with new challenges and uncertainty, UK universities are increasingly looking beyond EU borders to recruit international students. In this context, we draw upon country-of-origin theory to categorise the factors that influence non-EU international student decisions to select an overseas study destination and institution. Based on the results of a survey with 317 Arab, Chinese, and Indian students attending UK universities, we identify eight factors that influence international student decisions to study in the UK (social safety, education quality, entry obstacles, environment, recommendations, knowledge of host country, work and immigration, and meeting new cultures). The results address gaps in the literature, offering new insights that will help practitioners and academics to better understand how international students select a country and university as a study location.
Surgical Outcome of Lower Lip Reconstruction Using the Webster Flap

Plastic, Reconstructive Surgery and Burns Department, Tanta Faculty of Medicine, Tanta, Egypt E-mail: waelhussein_558@yahoo.com Tel. : +2 0100 27 999 61 Due to complex functional and cosmetic importance of the lips, the reconstruction of the resulting lip defects has always been a challenge for reconstructive surgeons. Many surgical techniques have been described in the literature to reconstruct such defects; each has its own advantages and disadvantages. We aimed in this study to evaluate the use of the Webster flap in reconstruction of large full-thickness lower lip defects after tumor resection with regard to functional and esthetic outcomes. A prospective study was conducted between Feb 2013 and Feb 2016 on 15 patients (9 males, 6 females), with mean age of 60.7 years, with large full-thickness lower lip defects following resection of SCC and were reconstructed by the Webster flap (3 unilateral and 12 bilateral flaps). The commissure was involved in 6 patients (40%). All patients were evaluated for early postoperative wound complications and for late results regarding the functional aspect of the repair in terms of oral competence and size of the oral stoma. As for esthetic outcome, objective assessment was done and graded as excellent, good and poor. Routine oncologic follow up was done for all patients. All flaps survived completely, while minor cutaneous dehiscence occurred in 2 patients (13.3%). None of our patients developed microstomia. Six patients (40%) developed temporary incontinence to oral fluids and two patients (13.3%) had drooling. Complete recovery of all functional changes occurred within 8-10 weeks. The final esthetic outcome was excellent in 5 patients (33.3%), good in 8 patients (53.3%) and poor in 2 patients (13.3%). The follow up period ranged from 6 to 24 months (mean 13.8 m). We can conclude that the Webster flap is highly effective singlestage procedure for reconstruction of large full-thickness lower lip defects, which has the advantages of preservation of oral competence and maintenance of adequate mouth opening. Moreover, it provides good esthetic outcomes at rest and function.
Estimating evapotranspiration from terrestrial groundwater-dependent ecosystems using Landsat images

Abstract Understanding and mitigating against the impact of groundwater extraction on groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDE) requires information of evapotranspiration (ET) of these ecosystems. In this pilot study, we tested two remote-sensing methods, Surface Energy Balance Algorithms for Land (SEBAL) and Vegetation Index/Temperature Trapezoid (VITT), for ET estimation from terrestrial GDEs. Multi-temporal Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM + ) images were used to derive vegetation indices and land surface temperatures for ET estimation. Radiative transfer model was used for atmospheric correction of the Landsat images. Field measurements were used to validate the remote sensing estimation of VI and surface temperature. Both methods have been implemented in a geographic information system (GIS) using automated scripts and ancillary GIS data for quality control process. Comparison of predicted ET by SEBAL to VITT model indicates relatively good agreement (R 2>0.90) and promise for use in groundwater management. The average ET from woodland GDEs within the zone of influence of the pumping stations is in general lower than similar woodlands outside of the pumping area, particularly in summer seasons which demonstrates that the pumping regime has an impact on those GDEs. The study also demonstrates that even a simple physical ET model can provide useful information for groundwater management, and more broadly other applications in hydrologic modelling and digital earth studies.
Role of race in oncogenic driver prevalence and outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma: Results from the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium

BACKGROUND—The discovery of oncogenic drivers has ushered in a new era for lung cancer, but the role of these mutations in different racial/ethnic minorities is understudied. The Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium 1 (LCMC1) database was investigated to evaluate the frequency and impact of oncogenic drivers in lung adenocarcinomas in the racial/ethnic minority patient population. PATIENTS AND METHODS—Patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinomas from 14 United States sites enrolled in the LCMC1. Tumor samples were collected from 2009 through 2012, with multiplex genotyping performed on 10 oncogenic drivers (KRAS, EGFR, ALK rearrangements, ERBB2 (formerly HER2), BRAF, PIK3CA, MET amplification, NRAS, MEK1, AKT1). Patients were classified as Caucasian, Asian, African-American (AA), and Latino. Driver mutation frequency, treatments, and survival from diagnosis were determined. * Corresponding author, Dr. Suresh S.

Transforming Growth Factor-β1, Transforming Growth Factor-β2, and Transforming Growth Factor-β3 Enhance Ovarian Cancer Metastatic Potential by Inducing a Smad3-Dependent Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is thought to play a role in the pathobiological progression of ovarian cancer because this peptide hormone is overexpressed in cancer tissue, plasma, and peritoneal fluid. In the current study, we investigated the role of the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway in ovarian cancer metastasis by regulation of an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. When cancer cells were cultured on plastic, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 induced pro–matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) secretion, loss of cell-cell junctions, down-regulation of E-cadherin, up-regulation of N-cadherin, and acquisition of a fibroblastoid phenotype, consistent with an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Furthermore, Smad3 small interfering RNA transfection inhibited TGF-β–mediated changes to a fibroblastic morphology, but not MMP secretion. When cancer cells were cultured on a three-dimensional collagen matrix, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 stimulated both pro-MMP and active MMP secretion and invasion. Smad3 small interfering RNA transfection of cells cultured on a collagen matrix abrogated TGF-β–stimulated invasion and MMP secretion. Analysis of Smad3 nuclear expression in microarrays of serous benign tumors, borderline tumors, and cystadenocarcinoma revealed that Smad3 expression could be used to distinguish benign and borderline tumors from carcinoma (P = 0.006). Higher Smad3 expression also correlated with poor survival (P = 0.031). Furthermore, a direct relationship exists between Smad3 nuclear expression and expression of the mesenchymal marker N-cadherin in cancer patients (P = 0.0057). Collectively, these results implicate an important role for the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway in mediating ovarian oncogenesis by enhancing metastatic potential. (Mol Cancer Res 2008;6(5):695–705)
Immune responsiveness and lymphokine production in patients with tuberculosis and healthy controls

The aim of the present study was to determine the profile of immune responsiveness that differentiates patients with tuberculosis (TB) from healthy tuberculin-positive controls. Forty-five patients with pulmonary TB and 16 healthy tuberculin-positive controls, all human immunodeficiency virus negative, were studied. Patients had decreased reactivity to tuberculin, diminished proliferative response to purified protein derivative (PPD), lower concentrations of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and gamma interferon in PPD-stimulated cultures, no increase in the percentage of gamma/delta cells in PPD-stimulated cultures, and higher immunoglobulin G antimycobacterial antibodies compared with control subjects. Furthermore, controls exhibited decreased production of IL-4 by PPD-stimulated cells. Multivariate discriminant and factor analyses demonstrated divergent patterns of immune reactivity against mycobacterial antigens. The association of IL-4 and immunoglobulin G antibody levels in patients, in contrast to the high reactivity to tuberculin, increased proliferation to PPD, and higher levels of IL-2 and gamma interferon observed in healthy controls suggested that most TB patients exhibit a TH2 pattern of immune responsiveness while tuberculin-positive healthy individuals have a TH1 pattern.
Lack of efficacy of prophylactic application of antibiotic-loaded bone cement for prevention of infection in primary total knee arthroplasty: results of a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Deep incisional surgical site infection (SSI) is a devastating and costly complication of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The effectiveness of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) in preventing these infections remains controversial. METHODS A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the efficacy of ALBC in preventing deep infection in primary TKA after a detailed and systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Cochrane databases had been performed to identify appropriate comparative trials on the prophylactic use of ALBC in primary TKA. RESULTS Five comparative trials were included. In total, 3,461 patients (ALBC group) received ALBC, whereas 3,176 patients (non-antibiotic-loaded cement; NALBC group) did not. The incidence of deep incisional SSI in the ALBC group was 1.32% (n=46) whereas the incidence in the NALBC group was 1.89% (n=60), figures which are not significantly different. No adverse events associated with ALBC were reported in any studies. CONCLUSION Statistical analysis did not reveal a significantly different incidence of deep or superficial SSI in patients receiving and not receiving antibiotic-loaded cement. The prophylactic application of ALBC thus did not show efficacy in primary TKA. More large-sample studies are required to confirm this finding.
Negative Reflection and Refraction and Filter Characteristics in the Leaky Wave-supportable Gratings - TE Polarization Case

A negative reflection corresponding to retro-reflection and negative refraction phenomena are dealt with in the leaky wave-supportable reflection grating and transmission grating respectively. The transmission grating is designed based upon geometrical parameters for the Bragg-blazing phenomena in the reflection grating structure. The applicability of the transmission grating structure to the bandpass filter for normal incidence case is examined.
Human Interferon: Mass Production in a Newly Established Cell Line, MG-63

MG-63 cells, a line derived from an osteosarcoma, produced high yields of interferon after superinduction with polyinosinic acid·polycytidylic acid, cycloheximide, and actinomycin D. Advantages of MG-63 cells over diploid fibroblasts as a substrate are: no requirement for aging between confluency and induction, no requirement for priming, and 3.7-fold higher yields per square centimeter of culture surface. Physicochemically and biologically, MG-63 cell interferon resembles fibroblast rather than leukocyte interferon.
Unaccredited Training: Why Employers Use It and Does It Meet Their Needs? Research Report.

We know from the 2017 Survey of Employers' Use and Views of the VET System [report available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 129.21] that around half of employers in Australia are looking outside the nationally accredited vocational education and training (VET) system to provide their employees with training. This report explores the reasons employers are using unaccredited training, why they chose this form of training over others and whether it is meeting their skill needs.
Export and import spillovers in Hungary I

Evidence suggests that export participation can be influenced by the firms immediate environment. Peer effects, spillovers encourage firms to engage in trade. So far these studies have been focusing the investigation to the export part of trade. This study examines whether spillovers have an effect on importing activity using Hungarian productcountry level manufacturing trade data from 1996 to 2003. The results suggest that import participation is also encouraged by peers in the vicinity and the effect appears more robust than in the case of exports when compared. However, the effect are found to be moderate, additional peers increase trading probability by 0.5 to 0.9 percentage points for imports and exports respectively.
