Using Actual Versus Hypothetical Choices to Determine Consumer Satisfaction: Are Swedish Consumers Happy with their Choices of Organic Products?

Previously, studies of consumer satisfaction have often used surveys or interviews as the preferred method of choice. In this paper, we suggest an alternative method, using a combination of revealed and stated preference techniques in order to study consumer satisfaction with organic food products in the Swedish retail food market. The results show that consumers in two different choice experiments, in the majority of cases, chose the same basket as the one chosen at the actual moment of purchase. The probability of choosing the original basket in the first choice experiment, comparing the original basket with an all organic basket, depends on the gender of the respondent, the knowledge the respondent has of product labeling, and the price difference between the original and the alternative basket. In the second experiment, the original basket was compared to an alternative basket with less organic products that was more similar to the one actually chosen in the first place. In this second choice experiment, the probability of choosing the original basket depends on the age of the respondent, and the level of knowledge the respondent has of product labeling.
THE EFFECT OF AUDITOR QUALITY ON BOND RATING: THE TESTING OF "INFORMATION ROLE" AUDITORS IN INDONESIA

Measuring the company bond rating is important for the business nowadays. Auditor qualityis considered an important factor. Therefore, it is important to see the effect of auditor qualityon bond rating. The objective of this research is to investigate the relation between auditorquality characteristics (size, tenure and industry specialist auditors), and bond rating.Data used in this research are 1283 years-firm observation during 2000-2010. The results ofthis research find that auditor quality characteristics, auditor size and industry specialistauditor has a positive significant affect to bond rating, but auditor tenure not significant. Thecontrolled variables as firm size, profitability, coverage, firm age, maturity, and bond sizeand bank debt are factored into firm’s bond rating by credit rating agencies. Overall, ourresult suggests that trough their role of providing information, auditor quality (size and specialistindustry) are important factors for the market participants.
A giant ring-like structure at 0.78

According to the cosmological principle, Universal large-scale structure is homogeneous and isotropic. The observable Universe, however, shows complex structures even on very large scales. The recent discoveries of structures significantly exceeding the transition scale of 370 Mpc pose a challenge to the cosmological principle. We report here the discovery of the largest regular formation in the observable Universe; a ring with a diameter of 1720 Mpc, displayed by 9 gamma ray bursts (GRBs), exceeding by a factor of five the transition scale to the homogeneous and isotropic distribution. The ring has a major diameter of 43 o and a minor diameter of 30 o at a distance of 2770 Mpc in the 0.78 < z < 0.86 redshift range, with a probability of 2 × 10 6 of being the result of a random fluctuation in the GRB count rate. Evidence suggests that this feature is the projection of a shell onto the plane of the sky. Voids and string-like formations are common outcomes of large-scale structure. However, these structures have maximum sizes of 150 Mpc, which are an order of magnitude smaller than the observed GRB ring diameter. Evidence in support of the shell interpretation requires that temporal information of the transient GRBs be included in the analysis. This ring-shaped feature is large enough to contradict the cosmological principle. The physical mechanism responsible for causing it is unknown.
Deriving the orbital properties of pulsators in binary systems through their light arrival time delays

We present the latest developments to the phase modulation method for finding binaries among pulsating stars. We demonstrate how the orbital elements of a pulsating binary star can be obtained analytically, that is, without converting time delays to radial velocities by numerical differentiation. Using the time delays directly offers greater precision, and allows the parameters of much smaller orbits to be derived. The method is applied to KIC 9651065, KIC 10990452 and KIC 8264492, and a set of the orbital parameters is obtained for each system. Radial velocity curves for these stars are deduced from the orbital elements thus obtained.
Mechanical Properties of Gypsum-PCM Composite Refined with the Acrylic Copolymer

Nowadays, the construction sector is changing rapidly towards more energy-efficient solutions. Many companies strive to improve the properties of building materials by reducing the weight of materials, increasing mechanical properties, and improving insulation properties. Therefore, to bring closer the problems that need to be solved, it was proposed to develop a new gypsum composite that will be used in a drywall. In addition, phase change material (PCM) and copolymer were used to improve thermal properties and tighten the final product against paraffin leakage. The main goal of the study was to check the mechanical properties. The results of endurance tests were presented. Based on that, it was determined that PCM affects the strength properties of the gypsum. In analyzing the obtained results, it can be stated from a mechanical point of view that to a certain extent, it was possible to confirm the correctness of using PCM in gypsum with an acrylic copolymer. The other part of the article presents the course of research and the results confirming the presented hypothesis.
Word Embeddings: What Works, What Doesn’t, and How to Tell the Difference for Applied Research

Word embeddings are becoming popular for political science research, yet we know little about their properties and performance. To help scholars seeking to use these techniques, we explore the effects of key parameter choices—including context window length, embedding vector dimensions, and pretrained versus locally fit variants—on the efficiency and quality of inferences possible with these models. Reassuringly we show that results are generally robust to such choices for political corpora of various sizes and in various languages. Beyond reporting extensive technical findings, we provide a novel crowdsourced “Turing test”–style method for examining the relative performance of any two models that produce substantive, text-based outputs. Our results are encouraging: popular, easily available pretrained embeddings perform at a level close to—or surpassing—both human coders and more complicated locally fit models. For completeness, we provide best practice advice for cases where local fitting is required.
Relative age effects in international rugby union: Consequences of changing the cutoff date and exploring youth to senior transitions

ABSTRACT Relative age effects (RAEs) are independent of specific cutoff dates that can vary from country to country. However, the consequences of changing the selection cutoff dates within a national sport organization are unknown. Further, the transition from international youth to senior representation is yet to be explored in rugby union. Thus, the aims of this article were twofold: Study 1 compared the birth quarter (BQ) distributions of the England Rugby Football Union (RFU) under-18 representatives based on September to August and January to December selection cutoff dates. Study 2 explored the BQ distributions within the RFU international development pathway through analyzing the under-18, under-20, and senior representatives, as well as the BQ distributions of youth players who were subsequently capped at senior level. Chi-square analysis was used to compare BQ distributions in each sample against expected distributions. Results revealed a corresponding shift of a skewed birthdate distribution favoring chronologically older players that was mediated by specific cutoff dates (p < 0.05). Moreover, whilst RAEs were present within both youth cohorts (p < 0.05), it was not apparent at the senior level (p > 0.05). Furthermore, during the transition from international youth to senior representation, more chronologically older players were successfully capped.
Wrinkle ridge assemblages on the terrestrial planets

The wrinkle ridge assemblage is a group of associated features that have been observed on the Moon, Mars, and Mercury. Members of the wrinkle ridge assemblage are classified as either arches or ridges based on morphology and ridges are subdivided into first-, second-, or third-order ridges on the basis of dimensions. The ridge assemblages described in this study are known to occur in mare basalts on the Moon and smooth plains units that may be volcanic in origin on Mars and Mercury. The structures that occur in the continental flood basalts of the Columbia Plateau in the northwestern United States are morphologically and dimensionally similar to features in the ridge assemblages on the terrestrial planets. The anticlinal ridges of the Columbia Plateau and many first-order ridges on the Moon, Mars, and Mercury are interpreted to be folds with reverse or thrust faulting developed as a result of buckling (flexure-fracture) or buckling as a consequence of reverse or thrust faulting (fracture-flexure). Estimates of the unit shortening across first-order ridges, using simple geometric forms to approximate the ridge morphology, are lower than those determined for the anticlines of the Columbia Plateau, where displacements are the results of folding and reverse to thrust faulting. Evidence of layer-parallel extension that often accompanies folds developed by fracture-flexure mechanisms (i.e., drape or fault-bend folds) is not found in the anticlinal ridges of the Columbia Plateau and has only been observed in one ridge on the Moon. A kinematic model involving buckling followed by reverse to thrust faulting (flexure-fracture) is favored for the origin of the anticlinal ridges of the Columbia Plateau and many of the first-order ridges on the Moon, Mars, and Mercury.
INTEGRATED FERTILIZATION FOR WHEAT CROP UNDER SANDY SOIL CONDITIONS

A pot experiment was conducted in a sandy soil at Exp. Station of El-Mansoura Univ. Dakahlia Governorate during winter season of (2004-2005) to study the effect of biofertilizer (microbin and phosphorin), mineral fertilizer (soluble and slow release fertilizers as sulfur coated urea), and organic manure (compost) on the wheat yield (grain and straw) NPK, concentration in grain and straw of wheat plants at the harvesting stage and some soil properties. The experiment was split plot design where, in main plots were (biofertilizer) and in sub main plots were (organic and mineral fertilizers). Results of studied parameters found that the interaction effect has highly significant increase in all treatments. The results show that straw and grain yield of wheat have a highest values by inoculation of nitrogen fixing bacteria (microbin) mixed with slow release fertilizer [sulfur coated urea, (S)] S100%. On the other hand the highest value of nitrogen concentration in straw at the harvesting stage was conducted with microbin + phosphate dissolving bacteria (phosphorin) mixed with S100%. But grain was found with microbin mixed S100% was but in, P and, K concentrations recorded the highest values were with microbin + phosphorin + S100% in straw and grain yields. In soil the highest available N and K values were recorded with microbin + phosphorin mixed with S100%, while the highest value in soil available P was recorded with microbin + phosphorin mixed with M100%. Soil organic matter and hydraulic conductivity recorded the highest values were recorded with microbin + phosphorin mixed with O100%. These study recommended that the use of microbin + phosphorin mixed with S100% give the highest grain and straw yields and also give the highest N, P, K concentration in plant and in soil such treatments reduced the use of chemical fertilizer and reduced the harmful effect on human health.

Influence of Implant Dimensions and Position on Implant Stability: A Prospective Clinical Study in Maxilla Using Resonance Frequency Analysis

Implant stability is relevant for the correct osseointegration and long-term success of dental implant treatments. The aim of this study has been to evaluate the influence of implant dimensions and position on primary and secondary stability of implants placed in maxilla using resonance frequency analysis. Thirty-one healthy patients who underwent dental implant placement were enrolled for the study. A total of 70 OsseoSpeed TX (Astra Tech Implant System—Dentsply Implants; Mölndal, Sweden) implants were placed. All implants have been placed according to a conventional two-stage surgical procedure according to the manufacturer instructions. Bone quality and implant stability quotient were recorded. Mean implant stability quotient (ISQ) at baseline (ISQ1) was statistically significant lower compared to 3-months post-implant placement (ISQ2) (p < 0.05). Initial implant stability was significantly higher with 4 mm diameter implants with respect to 3.5 mm. No differences were observed within maxilla regions. Implant length, diameter and maxillary regions have an influence on primary stability.
Analysis of the Prescription of Antibiotics During the Implementation of COVID-19 Personal Protection Measures in a Regional Health System

Introduction The rational consumption of antibiotics is a valuable goal for developed countries. Antibiotic resistance (AMR) was the main health threat before the coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. To restrict COVID-19 transmission, the Spanish government implemented personal protection measures, including the decree of a lockdown. The objective of this study is to analyze the prescription of antibiotics during the implementation of COVID-19 personal protection measures in primary care in a Spanish region. Materials and Methods Primary monthly official dispensations of antibacterials for systemic use (J01) were analyzed, disaggregating by clinical (active principle, age and sex of the patient) and socio-economic variables (basic health zone and level of income). Defined daily doses per thousand inhabitants (DID) prescribed in 2020 were compared with the prescription in 2019 using Chi-square test. Results In 2020, the prescription of antibiotics (11.37 DID) was significantly lower (−23.73%) than in 2019 (14.91 DID). The main reduction in the amount prescribed was found in May (−42.64%). However, the prescription was significantly higher (71.34%) in February 2020 than in the same month in 2019 in nursing homes. In March 2020, prescriptions were lower (−13.71%) than in the same month in 2019, except for the middle-income group, in which prescriptions were higher (9.67%), as well as azithromycin (10.11%). In April and May 2020, prescriptions were significantly lower than in 2019 in all age groups and both in women and men. Conclusion Personal protection measures against COVID-19 transmission (lockdown, mask, social distance and increased hygiene) coincide in time with the greatest reduction in antibiotic prescription.
Reducing Inequality in Academic Success for Incoming College Students: A Randomized Trial of Growth Mindset and Belonging Interventions

ABSTRACT Light-touch social psychological interventions have gained considerable attention for their potential to improve academic outcomes for underrepresented and/or disadvantaged students in postsecondary education. While findings from previous interventions have demonstrated positive effects for racial and ethnic minority and first-generation students in small samples, few interventions have been implemented at a larger scale with more heterogeneous student populations. To address this research gap, 7,686 students, representing more than 90% of incoming first-year students at a large Midwestern public university, were randomly assigned to an online growth mindset intervention, social belonging intervention, or a comparison group. Results suggest that after the fall semester, the growth mindset intervention significantly improved grade point averages for Latino/a students by about . 40 points. This represents a 72% reduction in the GPA gap between White and Latino/a students. Further, this effect was replicated for both spring semester GPA and cumulative GPA. These findings indicate that light-touch interventions may be a minimally invasive approach to improving academic outcomes for underrepresented students. Our findings also highlight the complexity of implementing customized belonging interventions in heterogeneous contexts.
Policies Facilitating Firm Adjustment to Globalization

The authors focus on policies facilitating firm adjustment to globalization. They briefly review the effects of trade and investment liberalization on firms, focusing on within-industry effects. They postulate that governments'role in supporting the process is to (1) ensure that firms face"right"incentives to adjust, and (2) intervene in areas where market failures are present. Their main message is that while many policies could be adopted to address market failures, they need to be carefully designed and implemented in a stablemacroeconomic environment. An institutional infrastructure that supports the functioning of modern markets is most important. Proactive support policies of whatever stripe should be subject to cost-benefit analysis, based on the existence of an identified market failure, and monitored for performance and cost effectiveness. Transparency and accountability are critical in ensuring that interventions accomplish their intended objectives rather than being vehicles for rent seeking.
Canonical quotient singularities in dimension three

We classify isolated canonical cyclic quotient singularities in dimension three, showing that, with two exceptions, they are all either Gorenstein or terminal. The proof uses the solution of a combinatorial problem which arose in the study of algebraic cycles on Fermat varieties. This note is a continuation of our previous paper [7] (written jointly with Glenn Stevens), which studied certain canonical quotient singularities in dimensions three and four. The classification of canonical quotient singularities can be reduced to a certain combinatorial problem, which we partially solved in [7]. After [7] went to press, we learned that a similar (although not quite identical) combinatorial problem occurs in the study of algebraic cycles on Fermat varieties (cf. [6, 8, 10]). In this note, we apply the recent solution of that problem (due to Aoki and Shioda [1, 2, 10]) to the classification of canonical quotient singularities in dimension three. If x is a rational number, we let (x) denote the rational number such that x-(x )mod Z, and 0 < (x) <1. DEFINITION. A Fermat quadruple is a quadruple of rational numbers (a1/N, a2/N, a3/N, a4/N) such that a, r 0 (mod N), g.c. d. {a,} = 1, and, for every integer k with (k, N) = 1, E,(a,k/N) = 2. The following theorem was conjectured by Meyer and Neutsch [6] and Shioda [10], and proved by Aoki and Shioda [1, 2, 10]. THEOREM 1. Let (a1/N, a2/N, a3/N, a4/N) be a Fermat quadruple. Then there is some k with (k, N) = 1 such that ((alk/N), (a2k/N), (a3k/N), (a4k/N)) is, after reordering, one of the following: (i) (a/N, 1 (a/N), f/N, 1 (//N)) for some 0 < a, f < N, (ii) (1/2 K, K/2 K, (K + 1)/2 K, (2 K 2)/2 K) where N = 2 K, (iii) (1/2 K, (K + 1)/2K, (K + 2)/2K, (2K 4)/2K) where N = 2K, (iv) (173K, (K + 1)73K, (2K + 1)73K, (3K 3)73K) where N = 3K, (v) one of 101 "exceptional quadruples" listed in [6]: each has (N, 6) / 1 and N < 180.

Contralateral versus ipsilateral neural mobilization of median nerve in patients with unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of contralateral neural mobilization, ipsilateral neural mobilization of the median nerve and conventional treatment on (CTS). Methods: forty-five patients from both genders diagnosed as unilateral mild or moderate CTS were randomly assigned into three equaled study groups, each one included 15 patients, each group received conventional treatment in the form of TENS, U.S and infra-red. The first group received contralateral neural mobilization in the form of upper limb tension test 1 (ULTT-1) plus conventional treatment, the second group received ipsilateral neural mobilization in the form of (ULTT-1) plus conventional treatment and the third group received only conventional treatment. Treatment in all groups was conducted for 3 sessions per week for 2 weeks. Pain level and functional level were measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) and Upper Extremity Functional Scale (UEFS), respectively. Results: The comparison between pretreatment and post-treatment results in all groups reported significant differences within each group and non-significant differences among the 3 groups. Conclusions: conventional treatment (TENS, U.S and infra-red) has the upper hand in treating CTS symptoms and both ipsilateral and contralateral neural mobilization have only a complementary effect to the conventional treatment effect.
Predictors of Viewing YouTube Videos on Incheon Chinatown Tourism in South Korea: Engagement and Network Structure Factors

YouTube has become an increasingly popular source of tourism information. The purpose of this study is to explore the network structures of YouTube videos about Incheon’s Chinatown in South Korea and investigate the potential factors that can predict the viewing of these videos. The analysis of 104 videos about Incheon Chinatown revealed that the engagement factors assessed by the number of comments and likes, and the running time of content, were significant predictors of viewing. However, network structure factors did not predict viewing. These findings make valuable contributions to sustainable tourism research and provide practical guidance for tourism management.
