A Model of Factors Influencing Behavioral Intention to Use Internet Banking and The Moderating Role of Anxiety: Evidence from Vietnam

Internet banking is becoming a new focus as the number of internet users and its benefits are increasing worldwide and its benefits. However, the degree of intent to use internet banking is still a question of interest. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors affecting attitude and behavioral intention to use internet banking in Viet Nam, as well as the moderating role of anxiety, will be examined. Totally, 584 questionnaires were collected for the final analysis. The results fromthe partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using the SmartPLS 3.0 program showed that facilitating condition, performance expectancy, social influence, perceived credibility, and effort expectancy had a positive impact on attitude and behavioral intention to use internet banking. Besides, anxiety decreased behavioral intention and it also dampened the positive relationship between attitude and behavioral intention. The findings of this study could help banks to improve their service to attract more users. Besides, the use of internet banking could reduce thefrequency to a bank that indirectly reduces costs.
Dynamics of respect: Evidence from two different national and political contexts

In (post-)modern, plural societies, consisting of numerous subgroups, mutual respect between groups plays a central role for a constructive social and political life. In this article, we examine whether group members’ perception of being respected by outgroups fosters respect for these outgroups. In Study 1, we employed a panel sample of supporters of the Tea Party movement in the United States (N = 422). In Study 2, we employed a panel sample of members of the LGBTI community in Germany (N = 262). As disapproved target outgroups, we chose in Study 1 homosexuals in the United States, while in Study 2, we chose supporters of the German populist, right-wing political party „Alternative fur Deutschland“. Our studies thus constituted a complementary, nearly symmetrical constellation of a liberal group and a conservative political group each. Among Tea Party movement supporters, respect from a disapproved outgroup consistently predicted respect for that outgroup. Among German LGBTI community members, this effect of respect from a disapproved outgroup was found in some of our analyses. For this latter sample, there was furthermore a tendency of societal respect to predict respect for a disapproved outgroup longitudinally. Additionally, we observed for both of our samples that respect from other ingroup members decreased respect for a disapproved outgroup. The dynamics of mutual respect in these two complementary intergroup contexts are discussed as well as the importance of direct intergroup reciprocity and superordinate group membership as routes to mutual respect.
In-situ biodiesel production using liquefaction and supercritical extraction

Biodiesel is an alternative source of energy with the potential to replace diesel fossil fuel. Full scale production however, has been hampered by high production costs since the extraction of oil causes excessive losses of energy, time and money when producing biodiesel. Currently, there is a lack of innovative technologies that combine known techniques to collectively overcome individual shortfalls. The aim of this project is to investigate the feasibility of combining liquefaction, in -situ trans-esterification and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, to develop a biodiesel production process that requires a minimum amount of energy, is fast and efficient in the extraction of oil from biomass, while simultaneously converting extracted oil into biodiesel. Sunflower seeds were used as feedstock for liquefaction in a methanol/-catalyst solution to produce biodiesel under high temperatures and pressures. Experiments were conducted with three different catalysts, potassium hydroxide (KOH), sulphuric acid (H 2SO4) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3), at five different temperatures, varying with 1o·c intervals from 320°C to 360°C; and with three different biomass loadings of 15wt%, 20wt% and 25wt% of the reaction mixture in the presence of supercritical CO2. The final product was analysed with gas chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and FT-IR to determine the product quality. The results from the various temperatures peaked at 340°C; this temperature delivered yields of 120 g.kg-1 bio-oil, 84.7 g.kg-1 FAME and 147.9 g.kg-1 biochar. The bio-oil had a HHV of 41.12 MJ.kg-1 and the biochar 28.12 MJ.kg-1. It was evident that temperature had little influence on the elemental composition, but it was a major determinant of bio-oil, FAME, and biochar production. The results obtained for the different types of catalysts varied. Potassium hydroxide catalysed reactions peaked at 320°C, delivering yields of 110.55 g.kg-1 bio-oil, 71.72 g.kg-1 FAME and 108.95 g.kg-1 biochar. The bio-oil had a HHV of 40.12 MJ.kg-1 and the biochar 25.20 MJ.kg-1 . The catalyst favoured gas production. Sulphuric acid catalysed reactions peaked at 320°C; this temperature delivered yields of 61.15 g.kg-1 bio-oil, 36 . 61 g.kg-1 FAME and 367.25 g.kg-1 biochar. The bio-oil had a HHV of 42.28 MJ.kg-1 and the biochar 28.73 MJ.kg-1. The catalyst favoured biochar production. Calcium carbonate catalysed reactions peaked at 340°C,
Link between Satisfaction and Customer Loyalty in the Insurance Industry: Moderating Effect of Trust and Commitment

This paper examines the relationship between satisfaction and customer loyalty and using trust and commitment as interactions of this relationship. The study was conducted by taking a sample of 271 respondents. The data were collected using a questionnaire containing 22 items and analyzed in SPSS. The results show that satisfaction has a positive and significant relationship on customer loyalty. In addition, we found the insignificant role of trust and also the negative effect of commitment on the relationship between satisfaction and customer loyalty. This study has some limitations, whose analyzed data were collected from one sector of the service industry in one country and we focused only on two moderating relational components. In this research, future directions for research are presented at the end of the conclusion.
Role of Intestinal Flora in Human Health

In recent years, the introduction of improved anaerobic culture technique and media, and the utilization of gnotobiotic animal technique have greatly promoted the studies of microecological research of intestine. Intestinal flora participates in normal physiological processes and also contributes to complex pathological states. The flora is capable of metabolizing a variety of substances such as foods, drugs or endogenous compounds, thus influencing drug efficacy and toxicity, carcinogenesis, and aging. However, little is known about which bacterial species implicate in these phenomena, and about the mechanism of these microbe-host interactions. A solution of these problems will only be achieved by the cooperation of workers of different research areas such as microbiology, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, toxicology and clinical medicine.
Evaluation Study on the Effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026 and Lactobacillus casei on Some Ruminal and Biochemical Parameters in Fattening Calves

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026 and Lactobacillus casei on some ruminal and biochemical parameters in sixty healthy fattening calves in a private dairy farm at Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. Three groups were included in the experiment, each contains 20 calves. The first Group (G1) served as a control that received a basal diet as total mixed ration. The second (G2) and the third (G3) Groups received the same ration in addition to Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026 and Lactobacillus casei, respectively, both were added by 5 g per head per day for three months experiment. Blood samples were collected monthly for three times. The results demonstrated that supplementation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026 and Lactobacillus casei to calves’ feed improved fecal, respiratory and locomotors scores. They increased the ruminal contraction (3.66 ±0.33/2 minutes), protozoal population and activity and total volatile fatty acids (87.66 ±1.45 mmol/L). On the other hand, both supplements reduced the ruminal ammonia concentration (25.16 ±1.12 mmol/L), but ruminal juice pH was elevated in case of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026 (6.53 ±0.06) and stabilized in case of Lactobacillus casei supplementation. Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026 and Lactobacillus casei significantly increased serum levels of β-hydroxy butyric acid (0.29 ± 0.02 mmol/L) while decreased level of non-esterified fatty acids (1.80 ±0.15 mmol/L and 1.81 ±0.14 mmol/L, respectively). Aspartate transferase showed significant reduction in Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026(57.0 ±21.4 U/L)and Lactobacillus casei (68.66 ±9.49 U/L) supplemented groups, while alanine transferase and gamma-glutamyl transferase showed only reduction (10.33 ±13.83 U/L and 9.06 ±0.88 U/L, respectively) in Lactobacillus casi supplemented group. There was a significant increase in reduced glutathione GSHand glutathione peroxidase GPX in G2 and G3, while Malone dialdehyde MDA of G2 and G3 showed insignificant reduction in comparison with G1. Weight gain was significantly improved in Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026 supplemented group compared with Lactobacillus casei and control ones. The results suggested that supplementation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026 and Lactobacillus casei to fattening calves feed has a positive impact on calves' general health and their weight gain.
Microbiome analyses and presence of cable bacteria in the burrow sediment of Upogebia pugettensis

We utilized methods of sediment cultivation, catalyzed reporter deposition− fluorescence in situ hybridization, scanning electron microscopy, and 16s rRNA gene sequencing to investigate the presence of novel filamentous cable bacteria (CB) in estuarine sediments bioturbated by the mud shrimp Upogebia pugettensis Dana and also to test for trophic connections between the shrimp, its commensal bivalve (Neaeromya rugifera), and the sediment. Agglutinated sediments from the linings of shrimp burrows exhibited higher abundances of CB compared to surrounding suboxic and anoxic sediments. Furthermore, CB abundance and activity increased in these sediments when they were incubated under oxygenated seawater. Through core microbiome analysis, we found that the microbiomes of the shrimp and bivalve shared 181 taxa with the sediment bacterial community, and that these shared taxa represented 17.9% of all reads. Therefore, bacterial biomass in the burrow sediment lining is likely a major food source for both the shrimp and the bivalve. The biogeochemical conditions created by shrimp burrows and other irrigators may help promote the growth of CB and select for other dominant members of the bacterial community, particularly a variety of members of the Proteobacteria. These associations give new understanding to the ecology of a burrowing crustacean that is common, but in decline, throughout intertidal mudflats of Northeastern Pacific estuaries.
IMPROVING OF ANAEROBIC DIGESTION BY DRY ICE DISINTE GRATION OF SURPLUS ACTIVATED SLUDGE

Disintegration by dry ice has a positive effect on the degree and rate of surplus activated sludge anaerobic digestion. By applying thermal disintegra tion the lysis of cells occurs in minutes instead o f days. The intracellular and extracellular components are set free and are immediately available for biological d egradation which leads to an improvement of the subsequent ana erobic process. Thermal disintegration by dry ice o f the surplus activated sludge results in organic matter nd a polymer transfer from the solid phase to the liquid. During disintegration process soluble chemical oxygen dema nd (SCOD) value and proteins concentration increase about 583 and 265 mg/dm , respectively. In the same time concentration of c arbohydrates increase about 53 mg/dm . In addition the degree of thermal disintegration ch anged from 13% for the volume ratio of dry ice to s urplus activated sludge 0.25:1 to 49% for the volume ratio of dry ice to sludge 1:1. The addition of thermal disintegrated sludge (30% SASDI of volume) to the digestion proce ss l ads to increased biogas production about 49%.
Forest Landscape Restoration—What Generates Failure and Success?

Research Highlights: The global Forest Landscape Restoration ambitions could be impaired by projects that ignore key principles such as the engagement of local communities in decision making and implementation, equitable benefit sharing, and monitoring for adaptive management. This entails the danger of continued degradation, disappointed local stakeholders, and ultimately, project failure. Other projects face technical problems related to tree establishment and nursery production. Background and Objectives: There are high hopes for Forest and Landscape Restoration to regain ecosystem integrity and enhance human well-being in deforested and degraded areas. We highlight various problems and success factors experienced during project implementation on a global scale. Materials and Methods: We use data from a global online survey to identify common obstacles and success factors for the implementation of forest restoration. Results: While the majority of respondents reported successful projects, others indicate drastic problems and failed projects. Major obstacles to forest restoration experienced by survey respondents were a lack of local stakeholder involvement and a mismatch between goals of local communities and restoration managers, as well as environmental, anthropogenic, and technical barriers to tree regeneration. Conclusions: When local communities, their goals, and needs are disregarded in project planning and implementation, as reported from various cases in our survey and the limited available literature, there is a risk of project failure. Failed projects and disappointed stakeholders, as well as discouraged funders and policy-makers, could lessen the momentum of global forest restoration ambitions. Adhering to key principles of Forest and Landscape Restoration can promote much-needed community support, with the potential to overcome barriers to forest regeneration and enable communities for the protection, management, and monitoring of the restored forests beyond the limited project and funding periods. Research is needed to gain a better understanding of the perception of local communities towards restoration activities. Further studies on the implementation of forest restoration at the intersection of environmental factors, socioeconomic conditions, forest regeneration/silviculture, and nursery production are needed.

Uma under green house conditions by inoculating with different inoculum levels i.e., 0 (uninoculated), 100, 500, 1000, 5000 and 10,000 second stage juveniles per pot. With the increase in inoculum levels of M. graminicola, there was a progressive decrease in growth and biochemical characters of the crop. Significant reduction in plant height, fresh weight of plant, dry weight of shoot and root, chlorophyll, protein and starch content of grain at 500 J 2, Beyond this level the damage is stagnating and even at 20 times higher level the plant survives till maturity.
Studies on the phytochemical, proximate composition and biochemical properties of the combination of Cyperus esculentus (tiger nuts) and Phoenix dactilyfera (date fruit) flour on male albino wistar rats

This study investigated the effect of the combination of Cyperus esculentus (Tiger nuts) flour and Pheonix dactilfera (Date palm) flour on selected biochemical parameters in male Wistar albino rats. Thirty male Wistar rats weighing between 100-120g were grouped into six with five rats per group and each group fed with different feed formulation for twenty eight days. Group I rats (control) was given rat feed only. Group II was fed with rat feed and tiger nuts only, Group III was fed with rat feed and Dates only, Group IV was fed with rat feed and a mixture of tiger nut and Dates in ratio 1:1, Group V was fed with rat feed and a combination of tiger nuts and Dates in ratio 1:2 and Group VI rats were fed with rat feed and a combination of tiger nuts and Dates in ratio 2:1. The proximate composition of Tiger nut flour and Date palm flour showed that the Moisture content, crude protein, crude lipid, and energy value were higher in Tiger nuts as compared to Dates fruit. However Dates fruit recorded higher levels of Ash and carbohydrates as compared with Tiger nuts. The phytochemical screening showed that flavonoid, tanins, saponins, glycosides and phenols were present in both samples. The liver enzyme assay showed significant (p≤0.05) increase in Alanine amino transferase in Group III (60.80±4.6IU/L), Aspartate amino transferase in Groups VI (232.00±14.670IU/L), V (229.80±7.91IU/L) and IV (212.00±2.00IU/L) when compared with the control. However, Alkaline phosphatase significantly (p≤0.05) decreased in Groups III and VI. Albumin level increased significantly in Group VI (40.60±0.67g/l) compared with the control (34.00±1.22g/l) and total protein increased significantly in Groups III and VI. There was no significant effect on the haematological parameters and the histopathology of the liver. Findings from this study shows that the mixture of both samples is nutritionally adequate and enhanced the functionality of organs.
Lipophilized epigallocatechin (EGC) and its derivatives: Inhibition of oxidation of β-carotene–linoleate oil-in-water emulsion and DNA strand scission

Tea epigallocatechin (EGC) was acylated with selected fatty acids, namely propionic acid [C3:0], caprylic acid [C8:0], lauric acid [C12:0], stearic acid [C18:0] and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6 n-3). Antioxidant activity of EGC and its lipophilized derivatives were examined in various food (β-carotene–linoleate oil-in-water emulsion and bulk oil) and biological (supercoiled DNA and LDL) systems in vitro in order to evaluate the effect of increased lipophilicity on their antioxidant capacity. Lipophilized EGC derivatives were more effective in β-carotene–linoleate oil-in-water emulsion and bulk oil than their parent EGC molecule. Meanwhile, EGC and its derivatives showed more than 60% inhibition against DNA strand scission induced by hydroxyl or peroxyl radical. Moreover, lipophilization of EGC had a negative effect on the inhibition of human LDL cholesterol peroxidation. Overall, this study revealed that EGC and its lipophilized derivatives could potentially be used as health promoting and disease preventing compounds.

Association of Dribbling with Linear and Non-linear Sprints in Young Soccer Players of Bangladesh. Int J Med Public Health. 2020;10(3):100-3. ABSTRACT Aim: The study was designed to examine the relationships between field-based dribbling performance [measured using the Mor-Christian general soccer ability skill test] and selected field-based short sprint test performances in Bangladeshi youth soccer players. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted by 60 male soccer players aged 16 to 19 years. Repeated sprint ability (RSA) and Illinois agility test evaluated for non-linear short sprints. The linear short sprint was evaluated by a 20-metre linear sprint experiment. Data was analyzed using Pearson correlation of coefficient and multiple regression equations. Results: The moderate positive relationship was found between the Mor-Christian dribbling performance and the selected change of direction sprinting. The results also showed that the 20m linear sprint with Mor-Christian dribbling performance had a statistically non-significant positive small correlation. Moreover, the four independent variables selected in the regression equation (RSA mean time, RSA best time, Illinois agility test, and 20m sprint test) explain 31.8% of the total dribbling performance variability. Conclusion: Both linear and non-linear sprinting are relevant motor fitness capabilities linked to soccer dribbling performance. Agility-based physical capacities were found to correlate more highly with dribbling. It is suggested that a proper training schedule be established and enforced in order to improve dribbling efficiency.
