PENGARUH REBRANDING TERHADAP LOYALITAS KONSUMEN (STUDI KASUS FOURSPEED NOMAD DI KOTA BANDUNG 2014) THE EFFECT OF REBRANDING ON CONSUMER LOYALTY (CASE STUDY OF FOURSPEED NOMAD IN BANDUNG 2014)

Nowadays competition in business world is increasingly tight. Each company must have the ability to continue to survive and compete with the competitors. Some of the important things that need to The suggestion for Fourspeed Nomad was to give more focus to the sub-variable of renaming because according to the result of the multiple regression analysis showed that regression coefficient of sub-variable renaming has the biggest effect to the consumer loyalty compared to the other sub-variables; such as always included the name of Fourspeed Nomad on the social media or when interact with the consumer or giving some accessories of Fourspeed Nomad. The suggestion for the next researcher was to use other variable that has an effect to the consumer loyalty such as consumer satisfaction and other factors.
Framing Affects Scale Usage for Judgments of Learning, Not Confidence in Memory

Framing metacognitive judgments of learning (JOLs) in terms of the likelihood of forgetting rather than remembering consistently yields a counterintuitive outcome: The mean of participants’ forget-framed JOLs is often higher (after reverse-scoring) than the mean of their remember-framed JOLs, suggesting greater confidence in memory. In the present experiments, we tested 2 competing explanations for this pattern of results. The optimistic-anchoring hypothesis suggests that forget-framed JOLs are associated with greater optimism about memory than are remember-framed JOLs, which leads to their greater magnitude. The differential-scaling hypothesis suggests that forget-framed JOLs and remember-framed JOLs will often be distributed differently across the JOL scale, resulting in means that also often differ. Participants in 3 experiments studied simple memory materials and made JOLs predicting their memory performance for those items. They made their JOLs in terms of either the likelihood of remembering or forgetting. In contrast to the optimistic-anchoring hypothesis, the mean of participants’ forget-framed JOLs was unaffected by information concerning the supposed difficulty of the task (Experiment 1), was lower than for remember-framed JOLs in a task selected to evoke high JOLs (Experiment 2), and demonstrated equivalent confidence in memory when participants were restricted to a yes–no binary response (Experiment 3). In support of the differential-scaling hypothesis, participants’ forget-framed JOLs were consistently symmetrically distributed across the JOL scale, resulting in a mean at the center of the judgment scale that was often higher than that for remember-framed JOLs. Framing therefore affects how participants scale their JOLs, not their confidence in their memory.

Energy and Eigenvalue Based Combined Fully Blind Self Adapted Spectrum Sensing Algorithm

In this paper, a comparison between energy and maximum-minimum eigenvalue (MME) detectors is performed. The comparison has been made concerning the sensing complexity and the sensing accuracy in terms of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The impact of the signal bandwidth compared with the observation bandwidth is studied for each detector. For the energy detector, the probability of detection increases monotonically with the increase in the signal bandwidth. For the MME detector, an optimal value of the ratio between the signal bandwidth and the observation bandwidth is found to be 0.5 when reasonable values of the system dimensionality are used. Based on the comparison findings, a combined two-stage detector is proposed. The combined detector performance is evaluated based on simulations and measurements. The combined detector achieves better sensing accuracy than the two individual detectors with complexity that lies in between the two individual complexities. The combined detector is fully blind and self-adapted as the MME detector estimates the noise and feeds it back to the energy detector. The performance of the noise estimation process is evaluated in terms of the normalized mean square error (NMSE).
PENILAIAN KINERJA KEUANGAN PADA EMITEN LQ-45 PERIODE 2007 – 2011 DI BURSA EFEK INDONESIA

LQ 45 indexes is an index consisting of 45 shares of stocks that have a high liquidity and also consider the capitalization of stock market shares are. Financial performance is an illustration of achieving financial success on the company. Financial performance on the issuers of LQ 45 during the period 2007 - 2011 experienced an increase in the different areas of each issuer. This can occur because of action for investors who speculate, economic conditions in the country, conditions in the financial performance of issuers LQ 45 and the appreciation of the stock that investors of the stock issuers LQ 45 that active transactions in the Indonesian capital market. Results from this research can be concluded that there are six values of the financial ratio (QR, DER, ROE, ITO, PBV, and PER), which shows an improvement in financial performance of issuers LQ 45 during the period 2007-2011, and only the value of the ratio of the market assessment can increased the most dominant performance in the financial of issuers LQ 45.
Mutator Phenotypes Caused by Substitution at a Conserved Motif A Residue in Eukaryotic DNA Polymerase δ*

Eukaryotic DNA polymerase (Pol) δ replicates chromosomal DNA and is also involved in DNA repair and genetic recombination. Motif A in Pol δ, containing the sequence DXXXLYPSI, includes a catalytically essential aspartic acid as well as other conserved residues of unknown function. Here, we used site-directed mutagenesis to create all 19 amino acid substitutions for the conserved Leu612 in Motif A of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pol δ. We show that substitutions at Leu612 differentially affect viability, sensitivity to genotoxic agents, cell cycle progression, and replication fidelity. The eight viable mutants contained Ile, Val, Thr, Met, Phe, Lys, Asn, or Gly substitutions. Individual substitutions varied greatly in the nature and extent of attendant phenotypic deficiencies, exhibiting mutation rates that ranged from near wild type to a 37-fold increase. The L612M mutant exhibited a 7-fold elevation of mutation rate but essentially no detectable effects on other phenotypes monitored; the L612T mutant showed a nearly wild type mutation rate together with marked hypersensitivity to genotoxic agents; and the L612G and L612N strains exhibited relatively high mutation rates and severe deficits overall. We compare our results with those for homologous substitutions in prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA polymerases and discuss the implications of our findings for the role of Leu612 in replication fidelity.
Impact of Social Media and News Media on Financial Markets

Social Media has been a popular platform for individuals to share their opinions of financial markets. Meanwhile, journalists and analysts contribute to news media to express their analysis on financial securities. This research compares the effect of opinions expressed via social media and news media platforms on the subsequent market movement. We use text mining methods to capture the sentiments revealed on the most popular stock discussion form (HotCopper) and a popular news media platform Google Finance. We find that social media does not seem to replicate the information produced on news media. Investor sentiments from social media predict future stock returns at the individual firm level. We find no evidence that analysts’ opinions on news media predict subsequent stock returns.
Who Are the True Venture Capitalists in Germany

In this paper, we analyze the investment and divestment patterns of different types of venture capitalists. Using a data set em- bracing all venture-backed IPOs that occurred on Germany's Neuer Markt we investigate whether the governance structures, objectives, abilities and track records of different types of venture capitalists have a decisive influence on their behavior. Our main finding is that signifi- cant differences among the different types of venture capitalists exist. The behavior of independent and corporate venture capitalists is more similar to that of US funds whereas bank-dependent and public ven- ture capitalists typically are bridge investors rather than true venture capitalists. Our findings may be interesting for policy makers, for companies that seek capital and for venture capitalists who look for syndication partners.
A Resource-Based Perspective on Information Technology, Knowledge Management, and Firm Performance

The resource-based view of the firm attributes superior firm performance to organizational resources that are valuable, rare, non-substitutable, and difficult to imitate. Aligned with this view, the authors contend that both information technology (IT) and knowledge management (KM) comprise critical organizational resources that contribute to superior firm performance. The authors also examine the relationship between IT and KM, and develop a new second-order variable – IT-KM competence – with IT capability and KM performance as its formative indicators. Thus, this chapter contributes not only by investigating the determinants of firm performance but also by broadening our understanding of the relationships among IT, KM, and firm performance.
Determination of Sildenafil Citrate in Plasma by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and a Case for the Potential Interaction of Grapefruit Juice With Sildenafil Citrate

This study was designed to establish a simple and reliable assay method that could be routinely used in the clinical laboratory setting using liquid extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In addition, a case of potential interaction of grapefruit juice with sildenafil citrate is presented. The peaks of sildenafil (measured as sildenafil salt) and internal standard were identified with an ultraviolet detector at 230 nm and detection limit at 10 ng/mL. In a single elderly male patient, grapefruit juice increased the Cmax of sildenafil by 42% (1067.7 ng/mL to 1517.0 ng/mL) although AUC was not significantly altered (4082.9 ng · h/mL to 4171.9 ng · h/mL) by grapefruit juice. Sildenafil could be determined in a simple and reliable method using HPLC with liquid extraction. This case indicated that grapefruit juice might increase the Cmax of sildenafil without significant change in AUC. A further study with an appropriate number of subjects is needed before determining the degree of interaction between grapefruit juice and sildenafil.
Attentional Patterns of Horseshoe Pitchers at Two Levels of Task Difficulty

In a dual-task paradigm, two tasks are performed concomitantly, and their performance is assessed relative to the performance of each task individually. The decline in performance that occurs during dual performance has been attributed to the limits on a construct referred to as attention (Wickens, 1980). Nideffer (1976) described attention as "the ability to direct our senses and thought processes to particular objects, thoughts, and feelings" (p. 340). Three major groups of theories attempt to explain the mechanism behind this decline in performance. The structural theories suggest that a fixed limit to attentional capacity results in a "bottleneck" in human information processing (e.g., Broadbent, 1958; Keele, 1973; Kerr, 1973; Welford, 1952). The capacity theories suggest that the available attentional capacity (or pool) can be allocated in a graded quantity between separate tasks until the limit on this capacity has been reached (e.g., Kahneman, 1973; Knowles, 1963). The multiple resource theories suggest there are several "pools" of attentional resources, each of which has its own capacity and is designed for certain types of information processing (e.g., Allport, Antonis, & Reynolds, 1972; Navon & Gopher, 1979; Wickens, 1980).
Effect of clarithromycin on airway obstruction and inflammatory markers in induced sputum in cystic fibrosis: A pilot study *

To determine whether macrolide antibiotics improve pulmonary function and decrease airway inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF), we treated 10 patients (females; aged 19–26 years, all colonized with P. aeruginosa, none with atypical Mycobacteria) with 3 weeks of placebo, followed by 6 weeks of clarithromycin (500 mg BID) in a single‐blind prospective study. We also determined the safety of sputum induction and the reproducibility of assessing inflammatory markers in induced sputum. Subjects performed spirometry and underwent sputum induction (12‐min inhalation of 3% saline) at 3‐week intervals.
Evaluation of programs of financial support for small and medium enterprises in Spain

In this research, we evaluate the effect of the participation in the public programs in terms of growth in assets of the firm, sales, number of employees, efficiency and productivity, by comparing granted firms with non-granted firms. The main objective of this study is to provide an empirical evidence regarding the impact of two of the most important Spanish financial policies for SMEs, which are subsidised credit offered by the Official Credit Institute (ICO) and credit guaranteed by a Mutual Guarantee Society (MGS).
Research and Development (R&D) Management and Technical Expertise: Creating An Effective Managerial Environment for Maximizing Productivity

While academic scholars and business leaders have focused a great deal of attention on maintaining the proper managerial environment for maximizing productivity in the research and development (R&D) process, the views of the scientists, who are the producers of research, are frequently given little attention. This paper addresses the issue of effective management in centralized corporate R&D laboratories of high-technology industries and suggests a number of management-based mediation strategies to foster organizational changes. Interviews with 72 scientists and 18 managers working in six corporate laboratories in 1996 and 1997 revealed a number of factors that are responsible for hindering the research enterprise at their companies. Scientists overwhelmingly identified managerial practices such as a philosophy of general management, the role of business in dictating research, de-emphasis on basic long-term research, and an increase in meetings as factors hindering effective research. Managers emphasized financial and market considerations such as the high cost of research and competitive pressures for the existing environment for research. Both groups agreed on the increasing difficulties they face in transferring research from the laboratory to product development and manufacturing.
A Bayesian Approach to Identifying and Interpreting Regional Convergence Clubs in Europe

This study suggests a two-step approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe. The first step involves identifying the number and composition of clubs using a space-time panel data model for annual income growth rates in conjunction with Bayesian model comparison methods. A second step uses a Bayesian space-time panel data model to assess how changes in the initial endowments of variables (that explain growth) impact regional income levels over time. These dynamic trajectories of changes in regional income levels over time allow us to draw inferences regarding the timing and magnitude of regional income responses to changes in the initial conditions for the clubs that have been identified in the first step. This is in contrast to conventional practice that involves setting the number of clubs ex ante, selecting the composition of the potential convergence clubs according to some a priori criterion (such as initial per capita income thresholds for example), and using cross-sectional growth regressions for estimation and interpretation purposes.

Review: Toward a Better Understanding of Coordination in Healthy and Poststroke Gait

Locomotor coordination characterizes healthy gait and rehabilitation effectiveness in poststroke individuals. However, despite a large number of clinic-based and laboratory-based measurement options, to date there is no gold standard for measurement of locomotor coordination. A lack of a common definition for locomotor coordination may be a cause of this confusion. Coordination during gait includes both spatial and temporal components that may be measured in extrinsic or intrinsic reference frames. Measurement tools have been used to evaluate one or both aspects of coordination. The authors suggest an operational definition of locomotor coordination and describe how current measures in healthy and poststroke individuals fit with this definition. They define locomotor coordination as an ability to maintain a context-dependent and phase-dependent cyclical relationship between different body segments or joints in both spatial and temporal domains. Advantages and disadvantages of laboratory-based measures, such as cyclograms, discrete and continuous relative phase, power spectral density, and others are summarized and discussed. In addition to the definition, the authors propose a clinically feasible measurement paradigm that accentuates the adaptive component of coordination and that may be useful in merging the clinical and laboratory-based approaches to locomotor coordination.
RoadSense: Smartphone Application to Estimate Road Conditions Using Accelerometer and Gyroscope

Monitoring the road condition has acquired a critical significance during recent years. There are different reasons behind broadening research on this field: to start with, it will guarantee safety and comfort to different road users; second, smooth streets will cause less damage to the car. Our motivation is to create a real-time Android Application RoadSense that automatically predicts the quality of the road based on a tri-axial accelerometer and a gyroscope, show the road location trace on a geographic map using GPS, and save all recorded workout entries. C4.5 Decision tree classifier is applied on training data to classify road segments and to build our model. Our experimental results show consistent accuracy of 98.6%. Using this approach, we expect to visualize a road quality map of a selected region. Hence, we can provide constructive feedback to drivers and local authorities. Besides, road manager can benefit from this system to evaluate the state of their road network and make a checkup on road construction projects, whether they meet or not the required quality.
Action at the exhibit face: video and the analysis of social interaction in museums and galleries

ABSTRACT Whilst we can observe a considerable increase in importance of arts and museum marketing, research of people’s engagement with art in exhibitions is relatively rare. This neglect of people’s action and interaction in exhibitions is somewhat surprising considering that it is in exhibitions where museums are in direct contact with their audience. This article begins with a review of the emergence of video-based research in the social sciences before turning to the use of video for the study of visitor behaviour in exhibitions. It contributes to recent debates on experiential and sensory marketing by examining three video-recorded fragments of interactions at exhibits in museums. The analysis of the fragments suggests that people’s experience of exhibits arises in social interaction with others. The article ends with a discussion of the theoretical and methodological contribution of video-based research in museums and of implications of such research for those involved in the management and design of museums and other experiential environments.
Focusing capital on the long term

Since the financial crisis of 2008, there has been widespread agreement on the need for public companies to build value for the long term. Nonetheless, because of pressure from financial markets, a detrimental focus on short-term performance persists. Reversing this trend, the authors say, depends on the leadership of major asset owners such as pension funds, insurance firms, and mutual funds. They should act by taking four practical, proven steps: Define long-term objectives and risk appetite, and invest accordingly. Major asset owners should set a multiyear time frame for creating value, decide how much underperformance they can tolerate in the short term, and then align their investments with this agenda. Practice engagement and active ownership. Big investors should cultivate ongoing relationships with the companies they invest in, collaborating with management to optimize corporate strategy and governance. Demand long-term metrics from companies to improve investment decision making. Rather than focusing on quarterly financial statements, investors should seek to obtain and analyze data that indicate a company's long-term health. Structure institutional governance to support a long-term approach. Big investors must have competent board members committed to investing for the long term, as well as policies and mechanisms to translate this philosophy into action.
Canonical and Quasi-Canonical Probability Models of Class a Interference

The earlier work of the author on Class A electromagnetic interference (EMI) (RF noise) models is further developed and extended to include "approximately canonical" and "quasi-canonical" cases, in addition to the earlier strictly canonical forms. Along with a general development of the first-order probability models of Class A noise here, which now include both scenario-implicit and scenario-explicit formulations, the following new and general results are obtained: 1) the demonstration that the Rayleigh pdf of received envelopes is the necessary and sufficient condition for the strictly canonical Class A model; 2) use of the EMI scenario in calculating the parameters of the model; 3) methods and conditions for determining approximately canonical cases; 4) specific exact characteristic functions (CF), pdf's, and APD's for some basic single-random-source scenarios; 5) general quasi-canonical forms and specific examples, showing acceptable agreement with corresponding results for closely related EMI scenarios determined by simulation; as well as 6) a general formulation of EMI first-order statistics for arbitrary (including small) numbers of potentially interfering sources. Another principal overill result is extended qualitative and quantitative insights into the Class A EMI model as a whole. Many special results are included, in addition.
