FINNISH MARKETING COMMUNICATION PRACTITIONERS ON BRAND AND CLOTHING- RELATED BULLYING AMONG CHILDREN, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND PREVENTION ACTIVITIES

Background In consumer culture, marketing communications is recognised as a communication system that shapes and provides resources for our understandings of the world. Arguably, those accounts channel and reproduce only dominant ideologies, which contributes to that understanding being narrow, by stigmatising those idiosyncrasies that exist beyond generally accepted norms of consumption. In relation to clothing and children’s socialisation, that stigma becomes treated differently, in a violent manner, compared to those who dress accordingly to the norms. Nevertheless, a solution for the issue is commonly sought in consumers, and not in marketers. Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine Finnish marketing communication practitioners’ perceptions of the phenomenon and responsibility of brand and clothing-related bullying, and to explore activities that are associated with inhibiting the bullying behaviour. Additionally, pedagogical marketing communications is discussed in relation to the other prevention activities to explore how the concept is interpret by marketing practitioners. Method The research was interpretivist and qualitative by nature. A method of semistructured interviews was chosen to explore marketing communication practitioners’ perceptions of the subject matter. Findings The findings of this study indicate that marketing communication practitioners do not consider children as competent, but rather as vulnerable social beings when it comes to consumer life. Being perceived as such, the practitioners view parents, society and marketers responsible for providing solutions to the complex phenomenon, which according to the practitioners has ultimately stemmed from the structural development of societies in which digitalisation and social medias play an integral part. Contribution The research has three identifiable implications on both theoretical and practical fields of fashion and marketing. First, it gives valuable information on how marketers view children as a market. Second, it provides a new, marketer’s viewpoint of to look at the phenomenon. Third, it recognises the marketers to have their roles as consumers beyond their roles as marketplace authoritatives.

Identification of key genes and pathways in calcific aortic valve disease by bioinformatics analysis.

Background Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common type of valvular heart disease in the elderly. This study is aimed to explore molecular mechanism of CAVD via bioinformatics analysis. Methods The gene expression profiles of GSE51472 (including 5 normal aortic valve and 5 calcified aortic valve) and GSE83453 (including 8 normal aortic valve and 19 calcified aortic valve) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using the MetaDE package in R software. Functional and pathway enrichment analysis were performed based on Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway database. Then, STRING database, Cytoscape and MCODE were applied to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and screen hub genes. Pathway enrichment analysis was further performed for hub genes and gene clusters identified via module analysis. Results A total of 107 DEGs were identified in CAVD (53 up-regulated genes, and 54 down-regulated genes), and they were mainly enriched in the terms of immune response, extracellular matrix organization, leukocyte transendothelial migration, cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), and fatty acid metabolism. Five hub genes including VCAM1, MMP9, ITGB2, RAC2, and vWF were identified via PPI network, which were mainly enriched in terms of leukocyte transendothelial migration and cell adhesion. An independently down-regulated protein cluster containing ALDH2, HIBCH, ACADVL, ECHDC2, VAT1L, and MAOA was also identified via PPI network. Conclusions The present study identified VCAM1, MMP9, ITGB2, RAC2, vWF and ALDH2 as key genes in the progression of CAVD. Immune cells infiltration might play a key role in the progression of CAVD, while ALDH2-mediated detoxification effect might play a protective role in CAVD. Further studies are needed to elucidate the pathogenesis of CAVD.
An Experimental Approach to Signaling as a Travel Motive

The tourism sector is becoming an essential part of the world economy with more than 3 million tourists crossing international borders each day. The motives driving this behavior are, however, only rudimentarily understood in the social sciences, and few have approached the issue experimentally. Furthermore, the emergence of social media use in this context is rampant but barely included in travel motivation research. The main aim of the present work is to explore if signaling, the act of displaying your experiences to others in order to achieve social esteem, should be included as a travel motive. Two experiments were conducted to explore this possibility, a field-experiment among domestic and international tourists visiting Bergen, and a student-sample experiment. The first investigated if different degrees of signaling opportunities impacted intentions to visit a tourist attraction in Bergen, while the second investigated whether the loss of signaling opportunities from destinations with different levels of attractiveness impacted scores of disappointment and misfortune. Results were ambiguous, indicating no increase in intention to visit the tourist attraction in the first experiment, while the second experiment exhibited higher scores of disappointment and misfortune when losing signaling opportunities from more prestigious destinations. The present work discusses reasons for these findings, but maintains that the role of signaling as a travel motive remains unclear.
Usage of Speech Act of Request among Iraqi Male and Female Undergraduate EFL Students

The study explained English learners' pragmatics development, learners' pragmatic competence in selected speech act, and usage of request as a one of speech acts that it used in gaining pragmatic ability. The study was offered by a public curriculum lead that prioritizes the necessity for English students to develop their ability to use request effectively in cultural communication. The study aimed to explain differences in the usage of request among Iraqi male and female undergraduate EFL students. Furthermore, most English students fail to present pragmatic ability on how to use request by relating utterances to their meanings, knowing the intention of language users, and how requests are employed in specific locations. There is growing material of researches on pragmatic ability and differences in the usage of request among male and female students for EFL schoolroom teaching. However, researchers have pointed to focus on the traditional methods rather than how English students require or use request to develop the students' production in the EFL classroom. Therefore, depending on the successful results of preceding studies, the study focused on the differences in usage of request among Iraqi male and female undergraduate EFL students. The differences in the usage of request to these learners have been discussed in details of the present research. Keywords— Pragmatics development, Differences in usage of request, and EFL students.
Logistic regression analysis on factors influencing income-poverty among smallholder French bean farmers in Kirinyaga County, Kenya

The study determined factors affecting income-poverty among French bean farmers in Kirinyaga County, Kenya. Results show that 72.6% of French bean farmers were poor. Relative to the poor households, non-poor had the highest net French bean income per acre (KES. 24,133), total net crop income (KES. 150,608), total net livestock income (KES. 21,674), and off-farm income (KES. 198,070). Aversion to risks (p=0.051 and β=-2.802), household size (p=0.000 and β=-5.032), daily household expenditure per adult equivalent (p=0.001 and β=2.016), net annual household income (p=0.000 and β=7.733), access to credit (p=0.086 and β=1.187), household annual asset value (p=0.051 and β=-0.482) and age of household head (p=0.066 and β=-2.009) statistically and significantly influenced poverty status of French bean farmers. The results suggest that crop insurance, farm diversification and expansion of acreage under Global-GAP certified French bean are necessary strategies for French bean farmers to alleviate household poverty. Key words: Smallholder farmers, French bean, global-GAP standards, determinants, income-poverty
kelebihannya, secara bertahap telah mengikis keberadaan game tradisional. Meskipun permainan digital dan tradisional sama-sama mengandung nilai-nilai pembelajaran pemecahan masalah untuk anak-anak, permainan tradisional menawarkan lebih banyak manfaat dalam hal perwujudan kearifan lokal. Penelitian 

Nowadays, most children play digital games. Digital games, despite their advantages, have gradually eroded the existence of traditional games. Although both digital and traditional games comprise the values of problem-solving learning for children, traditional games offer more benefits in terms of the embodiment of local wisdom. This study aimed at encompassing the influence of Javanese traditional games such as bekelan, congklak lidi, and selentikan on the improvement of children’s problem-solving skills. This research was done employing quasi-experimental design involving 72 school-age children ranging from 9 to 11 years old, who studied at primary schools. The subjects of this study consisted of four experimental groups. Three groups played bekelan, congklak lidi, selentikan games respectively and the other group was assigned as the control group. The treatment was done for three weeks divided into six sessions. The findings showed that there was a significant improvement between the result of the pre-test and that of the post-test for these three games. The analysis results using One Way ANOVA showed that there was a difference in the improvement of problem-solving skills among groups (F(17) = 5.032, p < . 01). Due to its superiority, Javanese traditional games is potential to be an alternative media in improving children’s problem-solving skills.

Farahnaz Irandegani 1 Azizollah Arbabisarjou Fereshteh Ghaljaei Ali Navidian Mansour Karajibani 1Community Nursing Research Center, Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Zahedan, Iran; 2Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Zahedan, Iran Aim: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most common nutritional problems in students. The best and most cost-effective ways to prevent IDA are changes in people’s dietary habits and their nutrition education. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nutritional program based on dates consumption on IDA in primary schoolgirls. Materials and methods: This was a semi-experimental study. The study population consisted of primary school girl students of Zahedan, Iran, during the academic year of 2018–2019. The sampling method was a combination of stratified sampling and multi-stage cluster sampling. Then, 31 female primary school children with IDA were fed with dates for 2 months. Before the intervention and after 2 months of date consumption, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and ferritin blood parameters were measured. Both paired t-test and chi-square test were used to analyze the data using SPSS version 21. Results: The results were meaningful. The hemoglobin levels at the beginning and the end of the study were 11.19 ± 0.38 and 12.05 ± 0.81 g/dL, respectively (P = 0.001), the hematocrit levels were 34.24 ± 0.41% and 37.17 ±2.36%, respectively, P = 0.001, and the ferritin levels were 47.07 ± 21.89 μg/dL and 53.98 ± 19.77 μg/dL, respectively, P= 0.001. Conclusion: The consumption of date fruit increased hemoglobin, hematocrit, and serum ferritin levels in primary school girl students with IDA; therefore, it is recommended to give dates to school girls.
How Much Information and Participation Do Patients with In ﬂ ammatory Rheumatic Diseases Prefer in Interaction with Physicians? Results of a Participatory Research Project

Objective: Patient preferences for information and participation in medical decision-making are important prerequisites to realize a shared decision between patients and physicians. This paper aims at exploring these preferences in German patients with in ﬂ ammatory rheumatic diseases and at identifying relevant determinants of these preferences. Methods: In a cross-sectional survey, adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SA) or different connective tissue diseases (CTS) ﬁ lled out a questionnaire. Data were collected via a written questionnaire (1) sent to members of a regional self-help group or (2) handed out to patients at their rheumatologist ’ s appointment, and (3) via an online questionnaire available nationwide. Measurements included information and participation preferences (Autonomy Preference Index; API: 0 – 100), as well as health-related and sociodemographic variables. Analyses included ANOVAs (group differences) and multiple regression analyses (determinants of preferences). To ensure the analysis was patient-centered we involved a trained representative of the German League Against Rheumatism as a research partner. Results: 1616 patients returned questionnaires [44% response, 79% female, mean age 54 years, diagnoses 63% RA, 28% SA, 19% CTS]. Participants reported a concurring major preference for information but vastly different preferences for participation. A greater preference for participation was associated with female sex, younger age, higher household income, and self-help group membership. Conversely, a lower preference for participation was linked to blue-collar workers, retirement, higher con ﬁ dence in the rheumatologist, and poorer health literacy. Conclusion: Whereas patients consistently welcome comprehensive information about their disease and its different treatment options, not all patients wish to be involved in therapeutic decisions. Especially older patients with lower education status and lower health literacy, but higher con ﬁ dence in their rheumatologist tend to leave the decisions rather to the physician. Different preferences should be considered in the doctor – patient communication.

Lin Guo Tengfei Yang 1Department of Gastrointestinal and Nutriology Surgery, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, LiaoNing 110004, People’s Republic of China; 2The Department of Social Service, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, LiaoNing 110004, People’s Republic of China Purpose: Oxymatrine has been reported to possess anti-cancer activity, but its role in breast cancer (BC) is weakly defined. We investigated the anti-cancer effects of oxymatrine in human BC cells, and the underlying molecular mechanisms of these effects. Methods: BC lines were treated with oxymatrine. The MTT assay was conducted to evaluate cell viability. The cell cycle and apoptosis of BC cells were analyzed using flow cytometry and Hoechst 33258 staining. TranswellTM assays were undertaken to measure the migratory and invasive abilities of MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 cells. Expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt, cyclin D1, cluster of differentiation (CD)K2, PARP, Gsk3β, caspase-3, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2 and Bax at protein and RNA levels was measured by Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Oxymatrine inhibited the proliferation of BC cells in a time-dependent manner. It induced apoptosis in a doseand time-dependent way according to Annexin V and Hoechst 33258 staining. Oxymatrine could inhibit the invasion of BC cells as shown by the Transwell assay. Oxymatrine inhibited expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 while increasing that of Bax as well as increasing expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9. Addition of oxymatrine to BC cells attenuated the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway cascade, as evidenced by dephosphorylation of P13K and Akt. Conclusion: Oxymatrine exerts its anti-tumor effects in BC cells by abolishing the PI3K pathway. Oxymatrine may be a new compound for BC treatment.
Targeting Angiogenesis

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the fifth leading cause of cancer death among North American women, is the most lethal gynecologic cancer. More than 70% of women present with advanced disease. Even with aggressive surgery and chemotherapy, most recur and the 5-year survival rates remain at less than 50%. Cytotoxic combinations are toxic and benefit transient, leading to interest in biologic/cytotoxic

CSR Expenditure and Company Performance: Charity or Signal? Evidence from Indonesia

Purpose: The purpose of this study are: first, to investigate CSR expenditures made by public companies in Indonesia are whether aimed at the charity, and second, whether CSR expenditure is related to the corporate’s performance in the future. Methodology/Approach: The samples are taken from 53 companies registered at the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Measurement of CSR expenditure uses monetary unit because CSR expenditure is the actual expenditure of the company. Company performance variables use ROA and CFO. Findings: The result indicates that CSR expenditures by companies in Indonesia are aimed at charity and are not related to their future performance. In addition, the CFO is also not related to CSR expenditure. This finding indicates that the expenditure of corporate CSR in Indonesia is only limited to fulfilling corporate social responsibility to the community without expecting repayment and to fulfill applicable regulatory obligations. Thus the resulting decision is a charity decision, not a signal. Research Limitation/implication: Sample in this study is limited to only company that reports CSR expenditure data in its annual report. The problem is that this disclosure is not mandatory in Indonesia so we cannot put all of public companies into our study. Our findings must be interpreted with this sample limitation problem. Originality/Value of paper: Our study contributes to understanding of motives of corporation in CSR spending. Corporations that operate in Indonesia are not only local corporations. Some are foreign companies that operate in Indonesia. Even though this Indonesian-based foreign corporation has its CSR program running in Indonesia, the program actually made by its home office abroad. While the CSR activity is used as signal in the home country, the purpose is not the same in Indonesia.
Understanding nighttime methane signals at the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO)

Abstract. Methane (CH4) atmospheric mixing ratio measurements are analyzed for the period between June 2013 and November 2018 at the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO). We describe the seasonal and diurnal patterns of nighttime events in which CH4 mixing ratios at the uppermost (79 m a.g.l.) inlet are significantly higher than the lowermost inlet (4 m a.g.l.) by 8 ppb or more. These nighttime events were found to be associated with a wind direction originating from the southeast and wind speeds between 2 and 5 m s−1. We found that these events happen under specific nighttime atmospheric conditions when compared to other nights, exhibiting less variable sensible heat flux, low net radiation and a strong thermal stratification above the canopy. Our analysis indicates that even at wind speeds of 5.8 m s−1 the turbulence intensity, given by the standard deviation of the vertical velocity, is suppressed to values lower than 0.3 m s−1. Given these findings, we suggest that these nighttime CH4 enhancements are advected from their source location by horizontal nonturbulent motions. The most likely source location is the Uatumã River, possibly influenced by dead stands of flooded forest trees that may be enhancing CH4 emissions from those areas. Finally, biomass burning and the Amazon River were discarded as potential CH4 sources.
EXPLORING THE SYNTAX/MORPHOLOGY INTERFACE IN THE DP DOMAIN: A STUDY ON THE L2 ACQUISITION OF GERMAN NOMINAL INFLECTIONAL MORPHOLOGY BY ITALIAN ADULT LEARNERS

This work is mainly concerned with the acquisition of some aspects of the morphosyntax of German possessive constructions by a group of 18 Italian adult L2 learners with different levels of proficiency (Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced learners). In the present study, I address the issue of morphological variability in more detail in an attempt to define a fine-grained scenario of L2 strategies adopted by Italian learners when facing the process of morphological insertion. Specifically, the morphosyntactic domains investigated are possessive constructions of the –s Genitive type. Overall, findings indicate a substantial dissociation between syntax and morphology (i.e. Parodi et al, 2004 for L2 acquisition of German nominals by Romance learners). As for syntax, L1 transfer seems to operate in a ‘selective’ way (i.e. discrepancy between early production of L2 AP-NP order vs gradual use of –s Genitive constructions). As for morphology, different strategies emerged depending on the item involved in the inflectional process (-s Genitives vs APs) as well as on the syntactic configuration in which it is licensed (strong vs weak inflectional contexts). More generally, what emerges is an interesting L2 tendency to simplify the morphological architecture of the German AP inflectional paradigm through the substitution of ‘default’ simpler forms.
