The Impact of Social Media Engagement Metrics on Purchase Intention: A Study on Brand Fan Page Followers

Research on the impact of social media users’ engagement action on purchase intention still remains in its infancy. It is necessary for a company to gauge whether or not its efforts to stimulate user activity on its fan pages are successful in generating output. This study utilized the Uses and Gratification (UGT) theory and Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) as a foundation to explore the social media engagement actions and examined the effect of users’ engagement actions alongside their purchase intention. An online survey was carried out on four popular companies’ fan page followers in various industries in Malaysia, and a total of 307 questionnaires were collected and analysed. The findings indicated a significant relationship between fan page engagement and Purchase intension. The results will help e-commerce marketers identify the importance of social media engagement on sales, while guiding e-marketers on their decision pertaining to e-marketing tools, particularly for engagement metrics in increasing sales. The study will also provide marketers with a descriptive idea on users’ activities. Overall, the study serves as a basic fundamental guideline for academicians and researchers to interpret the concept of engagement metrics and its effect on purchase intention, as well opening a vast area of unexplored researches on the subject of social media.
Protective effects of lactic acid on force production in rat skeletal muscle

1 During strenuous exercise lactic acid accumulates producing a reduction in muscle pH. In addition, exercise causes a loss of muscle K+ leading to an increased concentration of extracellular K+ ([K+]o). Individually, reduced pH and increased [K+]o have both been suggested to contribute to muscle fatigue. 2 To study the combined effect of these changes on muscle function, isolated rat soleus muscles were incubated at a [K+]o of 11 mm, which reduced tetanic force by 75 %. Subsequent addition of 20 mm lactic acid led, however, to an almost complete force recovery. A similar recovery was observed if pH was reduced by adding propionic acid or increasing the CO2 tension. 3 The recovery of force was associated with a recovery of muscle excitability as assessed from compound action potentials. In contrast, acidification had no effect on the membrane potential or the Ca2+ handling of the muscles. 4 It is concluded that acidification counteracts the depressing effects of elevated [K+]o on muscle excitability and force. Since intense exercise is associated with increased [K+]o, this indicates that, in contrast to the often suggested role for acidosis as a cause of muscle fatigue, acidosis may protect against fatigue. Moreover, it suggests that elevated [K+]o is of less importance for fatigue than indicated by previous studies on isolated muscles.
Effect of Market Orientation on Channel Strategy- An Empirical Analysis of Pesticide Industry

Research in market orientation has overlooked the importance of its impact on various aspects of marketing strategy, especially on distribution channel strategy. Using Kohli & Jaworski's framework of measuring market orientation (MO) and pesticide industry of Pakistan as a context, this article explores the relationship between various constructs of MO with channel strategy. This paper draws survey data from the pesticide industry in Pakistan. Given the low response rate, a norm in developing countries, bootstrapping technique is employed and tests are run. The results reveal that level MO has an impact on how channel strategies are formulated. Findings of the research indicate that higher level of MO is associated with selective channel strategy involving low intensity of distribution and higher channel control. The results also suggest that the right channel strategy helps an organization to create differentiation and to improve performance in a commodity market
Midlife and late-life handgrip strength and risk of cause-specific death in a general Japanese population: the Hisayama Study

Background Decreased handgrip strength has been reported to be a risk factor for all-cause death among the elderly. However, it is unclear whether handgrip strength measured in midlife is associated with risk of all-cause and cause-specific death in the general population. Methods We followed, prospectively, a total of 2527 community-dwelling Japanese (1064 men and 1463 women) aged ≥40 years for 19 years. Participants were divided into three groups according to the age-specific and sex-specific tertiles of handgrip strength (T1, lowest; T3, highest). Results During the follow-up period, 783 participants died, of whom 235 died of cardiovascular disease, 249 of cancer, 154 of respiratory disease and 145 of other causes. In the middle-aged group (40–64 years), multivariable-adjusted HRs (95% CIs) for all-cause death were 0.75 (0.56 to 0.99) in T2 and 0.49 (0.35 to 0.68) in T3 compared with T1 as a reference. Corresponding HRs (95% CI) in the elderly group (≥65 years) were 0.50 (0.40 to 0.62) and 0.41 (0.32 to 0.51), respectively. As regards the cause of death, higher levels of handgrip strength were significantly associated with decreased risks of cardiovascular death, respiratory death and death from other causes, but not of cancer, in the middle-aged and the elderly. Conclusions Our findings suggest that handgrip strength levels in midlife and late life are inversely associated with the risks of all-cause and non-cancer death in the general Japanese population.
EFFECT OF VARDENAFIL ON FERTILITY IN MALE RATS

It was found that only vardenafil markedly reduced CaCl2-induced contractions in the phenylephrine-treated isolated pulmonary artery indicates that this additional mechanism could be related to blockade of Ca 2+ channels. The aim of the present study is to evaluate effects of vardinafil on fertility parameters. Thirty male rats were allocated into five groups, control (D.W.) (n=6) and test groups that received (5mg, 10, 20 mg/kg/day) of vardenafil by oral gavage, each one (n=6) and sulfasalazine (500mg/kg) for 30 days. Animal were kept in standard conditions. At day thirty of experiment the blood sample was drawn for measurement of serum testosterone and gonadotrophin hormones then the testis tissue of rats in whole groups were removed and sperms were collected from epididymis and prepared for analysis. Significant decrease in sperm count and motility in rat treated with (20 mg/kg body weight) of vardenafil for 4 weeks, in addition to significant decrease serum testosterone and gonadotrophin horomes. Further histopathological changes in rat testis and epididymis were also observed. In conclusion administration of 20mg/kg/day vardenafil was very efficacious dose that result in disturbing fertility status in male rats. The results of study have provide direct evidence that Ca +2 channels blocker
Alkaline phosphatase activity detected in distinct phytoplankton communities in the northern Gulf of Alaska

Alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) has been proposed as a proxy to determine phosphorus (P) stress in marine phytoplankton. Phytoplankton typically meet P requirements by incorporating dissolved inorganic P (DIP), but can use reservoirs of dissolved organic P (DOP) by expressing alkaline phosphatase (AP). Enzyme-labeled fluorescence (ELF) was used to determine group-specific APA within 4 phytoplankton communities associated with mesoscale eddies, which are common to the northern Gulf of Alaska (nGoA). Nutrient stress in relation to eddies in the nGoA has not been well established and these anti-cyclonic eddies may be influencing P status in phytoplankton by isolating distinct biological communities. In the nGoA (fall 2007), APA was greatest in the northwest transitional waters of the Sitka eddy and the western edge of the Kenai eddy compared to coastal (shelf), eddy core waters, and open ocean waters. The APA signal was dominated by picoplankton (0.6 to 5 μm) and nanoplankton (5 to 20 μm), primarily nanoflagellates, though AP-producing phytoplankton were not the dominant phytoplankton at any station. APA did not correlate with DIP levels, and macronutrient concentrations suggest that DIP was not limiting for the bulk phytoplankton assemblage. Dissolved organic P (DOP) was not measured. These results suggest that P status within a community is more nuanced than typical Redfield or in organic nutrient indices indicate and that organic P sources could influence community composition of phytoplankton.
Global Mapping of O-Glycosylation of Varicella Zoster Virus, Human Cytomegalovirus, and Epstein-Barr Virus*

Herpesviruses are among the most complex and widespread viruses, infection and propagation of which depend on envelope proteins. These proteins serve as mediators of cell entry as well as modulators of the immune response and are attractive vaccine targets. Although envelope proteins are known to carry glycans, little is known about the distribution, nature, and functions of these modifications. This is particularly true for O-glycans; thus we have recently developed a “bottom up” mass spectrometry-based technique for mapping O-glycosylation sites on herpes simplex virus type 1. We found wide distribution of O-glycans on herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoproteins and demonstrated that elongated O-glycans were essential for the propagation of the virus. Here, we applied our proteome-wide discovery platform for mapping O-glycosites on representative and clinically significant members of the herpesvirus family: varicella zoster virus, human cytomegalovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus. We identified a large number of O-glycosites distributed on most envelope proteins in all viruses and further demonstrated conserved patterns of O-glycans on distinct homologous proteins. Because glycosylation is highly dependent on the host cell, we tested varicella zoster virus-infected cell lysates and clinically isolated virus and found evidence of consistent O-glycosites. These results present a comprehensive view of herpesvirus O-glycosylation and point to the widespread occurrence of O-glycans in regions of envelope proteins important for virus entry, formation, and recognition by the host immune system. This knowledge enables dissection of specific functional roles of individual glycosites and, moreover, provides a framework for design of glycoprotein vaccines with representative glycosylation.
Resource Allocation, Evaluational Capacity Building M&E Results Utilization Among Community Based Organizations in Meru County in Kenya

Building capacity for evaluation has become a big concern in the effort of ensuring that evaluations are meaningful. Part of this capacity includes making sure that M&E activities have resources needed to carry them out. This study sought to establish the influence of allocating resources for M&E activities on the utilization of M&E result at the project level in Kenya’s Meru County. The study used a mixed mode approach in methodology and it was both a descriptive survey and a cross-sectional survey and used both descriptive and inferential analysis of the data collected. The study sampled 186 respondents from a targeted population of 430 employees working in Non-Governmental organizations and other community based organizations in the county. The study showed that resources were allocated for various M&E activities to a great extent. The study also noted high level of M&E results utilization at project level by project employees and all the indicators of resources allocation had positive correlation with M&E result utilization. It was noted that for every unit increase in resource allocation, there was an increase of 26.1% in M&E result utilization score which is a percentage that would justify allocating resources for M&E activities by project organizations.
Compact composition operators on Hardy-Orlicz and weighted Bergman-Orlicz spaces on the ball

Using recent characterizations of the compactness of composition operators on Hardy-Orlicz and Bergman-Orlicz spaces on the ball, we first show that a composition operator which is compact on every Hardy-Orlicz (or Bergman-Orlicz) space has to be compact on H^{\infty}. Then, we prove that, for each Koranyi region \Gamma, there exists a map \phi taking the ball into \Gamma such that, C_{\phi} is not compact on H^{\psi}\left(\mathbb{B}_{N}\right), when \psi grows fast. Finally, we give another characterization of the compactness of composition operator on weighted Bergman-Orlicz spaces in terms of an Orlicz "Angular derivative"-type condition. This extends (and simplify the proof of) a result by K. Zhu for the classical Bergman case. Moreover, we deduce that the compactness of composition operators on weighted Bergman-Orlicz spaces does not depend on the weight anymore, when the Orlicz function grows fast.
FRAUDULENT FINANCIAL REPORTING BY DISTRICT / MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT IN INDONESIA1

ABSTRACT This research aims to analyze and obtain empirical evidence about the influence of fraud diamond (pressure, opportunity, rationalization, and capability) on fraudulent financial reporting in the public sector. Opinion on the financial statements of the district / municipal government in Indonesia is used as a proxy to indicate fraudulent financial reporting. The population used in this research is the district / municipal governments in Indonesia. The total samples are 437 district / municipal governments obtained through convenience sampling method. This research uses secondary data drawn from BPK’s Audit Reports of 2014 and 2015 and BPK’s Audit Results Summary of the First Semester (IHPS) of 2015. To analyze the data, this research uses logistic regression analysis with the SPSS 20.0 software tools. The results show that the factor of pressure, ie financial target that is proxied by percentage of budget realization has negative effect on fraudulent financial reporting; the factor of opportunity, ie related party transaction that is proxied by income transfers from the central government and internal control weakness that is proxied by audit findings of internal control systems in BPK’s Audit Result Reports has positive effect on fraudulent financial reporting, ie the factor of capability that is proxied by changes of regent / mayor has positive effect on fraudulent financial reporting, while the factor of pressure, ie external pressure that is proxied by local government capability of paying its liabilities (leverage) and the factor of rationalization that is proxied by previous year non-unqualified opinion has no significant effect on fraudulent financial reporting.
Imaging , Diagnosis , Prognosis PIK 3 CA and PTEN Gene and Exon Mutation-Speci fi c Clinicopathologic and Molecular Associations in Colorectal Cancer

Purpose: PIK3CA and PTEN mutations are prevalent in colorectal cancer and potential markers of response to mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal–regulated kinase inhibitors and anti-EGF receptor antibody therapy. Relationships between phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway mutation, clinicopathologic characteristics, molecular features, and prognosis remain controversial. Experimental Design: A total of 1,093 stage I–IV colorectal cancers were screened for PIK3CA (exons 9 and 20), KRAS (codons 12–13), BRAF (codon 600) mutations, and microsatellite instability (MSI). PTEN (exons 3–8) and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) status were determined in 744 and 489 cases. PIK3CA data were integrated with 17 previous reports (n 1⁄4 5,594). Results: PIK3CA and PTEN mutations were identified in 11.9% and 5.8% of colorectal cancers. PTEN mutationwas associatedwithproximal tumors,mucinous histology,MSI-high (MSI-H),CIMP-high (CIMPH), and BRAFmutation (P < 0.02). PIK3CAmutation was related to older age, proximal tumors, mucinous histology, and KRAS mutation (P < 0.04). In integrated cohort analysis, PIK3CA exon 9 and 20 mutations were overrepresented in proximal, CIMP-low (CIMP-L), and KRAS-mutated cancers (P 0.011). ComparingPIK3CA exonicmutants, exon20mutationwas associatedwithMSI-H,CIMP-H, andBRAFmutation, and exon 9 mutation was associated with KRASmutation (P 0.027). Disease-free survival for stage II/III colorectal cancers did not differ by PI3K pathway status. Conclusion: PI3K pathway mutation is prominent in proximal colon cancers, with PIK3CA exon 20 and PTEN mutations associated with features of the sessile-serrated pathway (MSI-H/CIMP-H/BRAF), and PIK3CA exon 9 (and to a lesser extent exon 20) mutation associated with features of the traditional serrated pathway (CIMP-L/KRAS) of tumorigenesis.Ourdatahighlight thePI3Kpathway as a therapeutic target in distinct colorectal cancer subtypes.

Cell cycle‐regulated vesicular trafficking of Toxoplasma APT1, a protein localized to multiple apicoplast membranes

The apicoplast is a relict plastid essential for viability of the apicomplexan parasites Toxoplasma and Plasmodium. It is surrounded by multiple membranes that proteins, substrates and metabolites must traverse. Little is known about apicoplast membrane proteins, much less their sorting mechanisms. We have identified two sets of apicomplexan proteins that are homologous to plastid membrane proteins that transport phosphosugars or their derivatives. Members of the first set bear N‐terminal extensions similar to those that target proteins to the apicoplast lumen. While Toxoplasma gondii lacks this type of translocator, the N‐terminal extension from the Plasmodium falciparum sequence was shown to be functional in T. gondii. The second set of translocators lacks an N‐terminal targeting sequence. This translocator, TgAPT1, when tagged with HA, localized to multiple apicoplast membranes in T. gondii. Contrasting with the constitutive targeting of luminal proteins, the localization of the translocator varied during the cell cycle. Early‐stage parasites showed circumplastid distribution, but as the plastid elongated in preparation for division, vesicles bearing TgAPT1 appeared adjacent to the plastid. After plastid division, the protein resumes a circumplastid colocalization. These studies demonstrate for the first time that vesicular trafficking likely plays a role in the apicoplast biogenesis.
The Housing Market and Central Banking Policy Implications: Chinese Taipei's Experiences

This paper uses the user cost of housing framework to understand Chinese Taipei house price dynamics over the past decade. We identify the strong expectations for future house price appreciation as the most significant influence on the user cost over this period. In addition, we assess the effectiveness of the policy measures undertaken by Chinese Taipei authorities to address the housing boom. We find that four rounds of targeted macro-prudential measures implemented since June 2010, combined with government policy efforts towards a reasonable property tax levy, have successfully helped lower credit growth, and restrain activity in the housing market as well as expectations for rising housing prices.
Aerobic capacity of the brick-field workers in eastern India.

Forty two male brick-field workers of two age groups, viz. 20-29 and 30-39 yrs were studied with a view to determine their aerobic capacity (VO2 max). The average values of VO2 max in l.min-1 showed only small change between the young and the aged groups, but the values of the VO2 max in ml.kg. -1min-1 showed significant difference between the groups due to body weight increase in the aged group. The aerobic capacity of the workers engaged in heavy manual work such as puddlers and load carriers were found to be comparatively higher and a positive significant relationship has been established between the aerobic capacity and different occupations in the brick-field workers.
0 Low Reynolds Number Flows and Transition

Due to the advances in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), micro air vehicles (MAV) and wind turbines, aerodynamics researches concentrated on low Reynolds number aerodynamics, transition and laminar separation bubble (LSB) and its effects on aerodynamic performance. In order to improve endurance, range, efficiency and payload capacity of UAVs, MAVs and wind turbines, the aerodynamic behaviors of these vehicles mentioned should be investigated.
Ant colony optimisation-based multiuser detection for direct-sequence CDMA systems with diversity reception

An ant colony optimisation (ACO)-based multiuser detector assisted by spatial diversity reception using direct-sequence CDMA is proposed. By taking advantage of heuristic values and the collective intelligence of ACO, the proposed detector offers almost the same bit error rate (BER) performance as the full-search-based optimum multiuser detector does, while greatly reducing the computational complexity. The near-far resistance of the ACO-based multiuser detector is also examined. The BER performance for a ten-user system deteriorates scarcely when the interfering users' energy is 12 dB higher than that of the desired user.
A Case of Prevailing Deficit of Nonliving Categories or a Case of Prevailing Sparing of Living Categories?

We describe a new case of semantic deficit in which nonliving categories are disproportionately impaired. PL, a woman affected by progressive degeneration of the left temporal lobe, was examined twice, at a distance of 1 year. The deficit was first apparent on naming and on a verbal semantic questionnaire, but a year later nonliving categories were disproportionately affected also on verbal comprehension (word/picture matching task). Body parts and musical instruments were also investigated: the former was the best preserved category, whereas the latter was the most severely affected. Considering all categories, functional and perceptual information was not differently affected, but there was a trend toward a worse score for nonliving category functional questions. Discussing the current hypotheses on the genesis of category dissociations, we conclude that nonliving categories might not be a true domain, and that their impairment could simply derive from the relative sparing of the domains of the living categories, for which separate cognitive and anatomical representations can be better postulated. Finally, we discuss the problems raised by published cases in an attempt to find a consistent anatomical substrate for category dissociations.
