Factors Affecting Chinese Consumers’ Impulse Buying Decision of Live Streaming E-Commerce

From the perspective of consumers, this research studied four factors including price promotion, time pressure, interpersonal interaction and visual appeal influencing the impulse buying decision of live streaming e-commerce consumers in China. This research used a quantitative design by developing questionnaires to collect data through the convenience sampling approach from 477 Chinese users who has live streaming shopping experience in social commerce platform Taobao.com. within the past 1 year in Kunming, City. Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to analyze the data and the hypotheses accordingly. The results confirmed that price promotion, time pressure (promotional time limit, perceived opportunity cost), interpersonal interaction (consumer-streamer interaction, consumer-consumer interaction) and visual appeal these six factors have a significantly positive effect on consumer impulse buying decision. Meanwhile, perceived risk was found negatively related to consumer impulse buying decision. Besides, price promotion and visual appeal played the most important role in influencing consumer impulse buying decision of live streaming than any other factors. Additionally, the results also show that the promotion, the perception of opportunity cost, the interpersonal interaction (the interaction between consumers and streamers, the interaction between consumers), and the visual appeal all have a significant negative impact on consumers' perceived risk. However, for time limit of time pressure, our research hypothesis that promotion time limit has a significant negative effect on consumers' perceived risk has not been verified. Finally, perceived risk was found plays a mediating role in the relationship between price promotion, perceived opportunity cost, interpersonal interaction, visual appeal and impulse buying decision. However, it did not play a mediating role in the effect of promotion time limit on impulse buying decision. The findings suggest that managers and merchants of live streaming e-commerce should make a reasonable price promotion plan and provide good visual experience for consumers, at the meantime, strengthen interpersonal interaction and try to reduce the purchase risk of consumers.
Bioremoval of Cu2+ from CMP wastewater by a novel copper-resistant bacterium Cupriavidus gilardii CR3: characteristics and mechanisms

Bacteria of the genus Cupriavidus are known for the ability of resistance to various heavy metals and metal-binding capability. Herein, we investigated the bioremoval of Cu2+ from synthesized chemical–mechanical polishing (CMP) wastewater by living cells of Cupriavidus gilardii CR3, a novel copper-resistant bacterium isolated in our previous study. The surface topography changes of strain CR3 were observed by SEM-EDX, where images showed that binding took place on the bacterial cell surface. FTIR spectra provided evidence that carboxyl, hydroxyl, amino, and phosphate groups on the surface of strain CR3 could be available for characteristic coordination bonding with Cu2+. Zeta potential confirmed that electrostatic interaction was involved in Cu2+ binding. The biosorption and bioaccumulation of Cu2+ by strain CR3 was highly pH-dependent, and the optimum pH value was 5.0. The maximum binding capacity for Cu2+ was 18.33 mg g−1 and the bioremoval efficiency was 27% under optimal conditions. The Cu2+ binding process obeyed the Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.99). Kinetic data were properly fitted with both pseudo-second order kinetic model (R2 = 0.99) and an intraparticle diffusion model (R2 = 0.98). It can be concluded that living cells of C. gilardii CR3 have the potential to be utilized for the removal of Cu2+ from CMP wastewater.
PHYSIOLOGICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF GIMMIZAH COCKERELS TO GNRH INJECTION

This study was conducted to study the neuroendocrine control of spermatogenesis of Gimmizah Cocks. A total of 300 Gimmizah cockerels aged 5 weeks were selected according to their configuration. Birds were individually weighted and then randomly distributed into 4 experimental groups with 75 males of each. The first group of cockerels (T1) was injected with saline solution for the whole period (6 – 14 wk.) and was considered as a control group. The other 3 groups were injected with a synthetic (Receptal) gonadotropic releasing hormone (GnRH) during the periods from 6 -10 (T2), 8-12 (T3) and 10-14 (T4) weeks of age for the second, third, and fourth groups, respectively.The cockerels of the treated groups were divided into two subgroups the first one (R1) injected with 0.1 ml Receptal / kg of body weight, while the second (R2) injected with 0.2 ml Receptal / kg of body weight. Data obtained illustrated that at 12 weeks of age, the plasma level of LH, FSH and testosterone were insignificant. LH and FSH values of T2 group at 14 weeks of age were lower than that recorded for the other treated or control groups. At 16 weeks of age, the plasma concentrations of all hormones were comparable to those obtained at 14 weeks of age. Semen quality traits were significantly improved by injecting GnRH regardless the injected dose. These results suggested that the precocious puberty in Gimmizah males could be achieved by GnRH injection starting from 8 or 10 weeks of age as a result of increasing the spermatogenic activity.
Lymphatic Drainage Mapping with Indirect Lymphography for Canine Mammary Tumors

Simple Summary Mammary gland tumours are the most common canine neoplasms. They account for 25–50% of all tumors diagnosed in bitches. Metastases and recurrences develop in about 35–70% of bitches following excision. The presence of regional lymph node metastases is a relevant factor affecting prognosis and treatment in cases of mammary gland tumors. The sentinel lymph node (SLN) is the first lymph node (or nodes) in the regional lymphatic basin that receives lymphatic flow from the primary neoplasm. As mammary gland tumors mainly spread by lymphatic vessels invasion, conceptually, distant metastasis should not be present if the SLN does not have evidence of a tumor burden. In the present study, an indirect lymphography was used for sentinel lymph node mapping in a cohort of 14 adult female dogs with 24 mammary tumors involving the third to the fifth mammary gland. Contrast was injected around the mammary tumor, and lymph nodes that picked up the contrast were visible after 24 h. The results of this study indicate that the lymph drainage pattern of the neoplastic mammary gland may be different for each tumor. The knowledge of the SLN of the neoplastic mammary glands should be of high importance for the surgeon not only for performing the most adequate surgical excision but also for determining an accurate post-surgical prognosis.

The aim of this study is to investigate the SLN with indirect lymphography for a mammary tumor in dogs. The knowledge of the precise drainage pattern and SLN of the neoplastic mammary glands would provide clinically relevant information to the surgeon and to the oncologist, and it would be of high importance for the surgeon not only for performing the most adequate surgical excision but also for determining an accurate post-surgical prognosis.
SemEval-2021 Task 2: Multilingual and Cross-lingual Word-in-Context Disambiguation (MCL-WiC)

In this paper, we introduce the first SemEval task on Multilingual and Cross-Lingual Word-in-Context disambiguation (MCL-WiC). This task allows the largely under-investigated inherent ability of systems to discriminate between word senses within and across languages to be evaluated, dropping the requirement of a fixed sense inventory. Framed as a binary classification, our task is divided into two parts. In the multilingual sub-task, participating systems are required to determine whether two target words, each occurring in a different context within the same language, express the same meaning or not. Instead, in the cross-lingual part, systems are asked to perform the task in a cross-lingual scenario, in which the two target words and their corresponding contexts are provided in two different languages. We illustrate our task, as well as the construction of our manually-created dataset including five languages, namely Arabic, Chinese, English, French and Russian, and the results of the participating systems.

Side to side-Balancing paradoxical tensions within product innovation

Modern organisations are constantly faced with a plethora of paradoxical tensions, especially during the process of product innovation. For example, the development of incremental innovations must be balanced with radical ones to ensure that an organisation remains relevant in the short and long-term. Organisations balance such tensions through the capability of ambidexterity, a concept which has attracted a proliferation of scholarly interest. However, ambidexterity research to date has primarily focused on the capability from a macro and organisational perspective. Additionally, although product innovation tensions represent an innate aspect of creative industry organisations’ (CIOs) daily business, these organisations have been widely ignored by ambidexterity scholars. The purpose of this study is to understand how product innovation tensions are managed on a micro or individual level within the empirical context of the Swedish music industry. This study investigates specific managerial mechanisms, or antecedents to ambidexterity, which allow individual managers to balance the tensions between creativity and commerciality, and incremental and radical innovation. To achieve this, we adopted a qualitative paradigmatic case study design and interviewed 12 managers working in Swedish record labels and music publishers. We find six distinct managerial mechanisms used by managers to balance the tension between creativity and commerciality and two mechanisms used to balance the tension between incremental and radical innovation. Three of these mechanisms, organisational role, sequential shifting on the individual level and focus on identity have not been explored in previous ambidexterity research. The nature of the managerial mechanisms and their descriptions found in this study also provide deeper insights into literature within product innovation and its sub-streams such as real options theory.
Assessing heating and cooling demands of closed greenhouse systems in a cold climate

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by providing non‐fossil fuel energy sources is imminently necessary. The area of particular interest in this paper is the agricultural greenhouse industry. In these structures, significant heating demands are present, especially in cold climates, and are typically met by combusting fossil fuels. In an effort towards a sustainable energy supply, the potential of closed greenhouse systems in a cold climate is explored. In these systems, natural ventilation for cooling and dehumidification is replaced with active systems, and the thermal energy removed can be re‐used, reducing the overall heating demand. A transient greenhouse model is created using TRNSYS software and validated with natural gas usage data from a reference greenhouse. The annual heating and cooling demands, effect of varying cover materials and potential for heat recovery ventilation are explored for the most concentrated greenhouse areas in Canada.

The Relationship Between Organizational Justice Perception and Job Satisfaction in Small and Medium Enterprises

Employee performance is always the direct factor that would affect the performance of a company. Hence, managing people effectively is crucial to ensure organization’s success. In line with this view, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between organizational justice perception and job satisfaction in small and medium enterprises in Johor manufacturing sector and to identify the type of organizational justice (distributive, procedural and interactional) perception which influences the most on job satisfaction. The data were collected from a sample of 60 non-managerial employees whom are working in the manufacturing sector in SME’s in Johor. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 26.0 and Partial Least Squares (PLSSEM) with SmartPLS version 3 was used to analyze the data collected. Findings from the study revealed that only distributive justice has a significant relationship with job satisfaction whereas procedural and interactional justice does not have a significant relationship with job satisfaction. This study also indicated that distributive justice contributes the most on job satisfaction of employees working in the manufacturing sector in SME’s.
ANTIBACTERIAL EFFECTS OF LEAVES AND ROOT EXTRACT OF CALOTROPIS PROCERA LINN

The analysis of antimicrobial activity of aqueous and ethanolic extract of root and leaves of Calotropis procera Linn, against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogen, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was carried out in disc method. The zone of inhibition produced by the crude ethanol and aqueous extracts against sensitive bacteria were examined. The results obtained showed that both ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Calotropis procera Linn, had inhibitory effect on the growth of isolates. The effect exhibited by ethanolic extract of leaves and roots was significantly greater than the aqueous extract of leaves and roots. The obtained results provide a support for the use of Calotropis procera Linn, in traditional medicine and suggest its further advance investigation.
KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND PRACTICE TOWARDS UNSAFE ABORTIONS AMONG TERTIARY EDUCATION FEMALE STUDENTS IN KITWE, ZAMBIA

Background: The World Health Organisation estimates that at least 33% of all women seeking hospital care of complications related to abortions are under the age of 24. We conducted a cross-sectional study to describe knowledge, attitude and practice regarding unsafe abortions among tertiary education female students in Kitwe, Zambia. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted among 238 randomly selected female students in tertiary education institutions in Kitwe. Using cluster sampling, three (3) government institutions were selected for inclusion in this study. A pre-tested self-administered questionnaire was used. Responses regarding knowledge, attitudes and practices were scored and graded. Pearson’s chi-square was used to ascertain the associations of knowledge, attitudes, practices and age. Results: The majority of the respondents (69.2%) had good knowledge on unsafe abortion. More than three quarters of the respondents (78.6%) had negative attitude towards the practice of unsafe abortion. Age was significantly associated with knowledge (p<0.005). Death (65.5%) was the most reported complication of unsafe abortion. Others were bareness (52.9%), womb damage (34.0%), haemorrhage (17.2%) and infections (11.8%). Among the reasons reported to lead to unsafe abortions among female students, unpreparedness (43.7%) of bearing the child was the most common. 9.2% of the students reported having had an abortion before and 14.7% reported that they would abort if they fell pregnant. More than half (58%) indicated that they were aware about the Termination of Pregnancy Act. Out of those who had an abortion, the majority (54%) reported having used traditional herbs to terminate the pregnancy while about 2.7% reported having terminated the pregnancy at the hospital. Conclusion: Our findings show that abortions are endemic among females in institutions of higher learning in Kitwe district. Public health interventions should be centred on increasing awareness on safe abortion methods and improve female student’s access to safe abortion services in health centres.
Quality of Different Brands of Metronidazole Benzoate Oral Suspensions Available at Jimma Town, Southwest Ethiopia: Pharmaceuticals Quality Study

Background: Poor quality drugs include substandard and counterfeit medicines. Poor quality antibiotics selectively kill the susceptible strain and leaves resistant strain to multiply. Metronidazole is a broad spectrum antibiotic whose effectiveness depends up on a dose administered to the patient. Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the quality of different brands of metronidazole Benzoate oral suspension available in Jimma town, West Ethiopia. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted in Jimma town, West Ethiopia from Feb 08 – Mar 28, 2018. The assay result of all the seven brands of Metronidazole Benzoate oral suspensions was entered to statistical package for social sciences software version 24.0 for windows. Then, one way analysis of variance was performed using Tukey test to determine whether there exists significant difference in assay result of the brands (p<0.05).

All the brands passed the assay test and total aerobic microbial count specification United States Pharmacopoeia 2015. The highest percentage of drug content was obtained for Metrolag, 105.56%, while the least content for Mizel, 93.12%. However, statistical comparison of drug contents at 95% confidence interval indicates that there is significant difference in drug content within and among the seven brands of Metronidazole benzoate oral suspensions (p<0.05). The pH of all the brands was with in United States Pharmacopoeia 2015 specification limit.
Does Earnings Management Influence Dividend Policies? An Approach with Unlisted Firms

The goal of this paper is to analyze whether the firms’ dividend policy is influenced by the existence of earnings management practices, particularly under different ownership contexts. In the paper, three well-known discretionary accruals methodologies are applied to measure earnings management. The empirical study relies on an innovative set of 4,258 unlisted private companies, representing a panel of around 20 thousand observations distributed over the period 2013-2017. The study is focused only in one European country to avoid different institutional and country characteristics that could bias the findings. Our firs result reveals a positive statistically significant relationship between the earnings management and dividend policy, meaning that private non-listed companies managing earnings are more likely to distribute a higher level of dividends. However, a deeper analysis shows that the ability of earnings management practices to predict the dividend policy is driven by ownership concentration. Spliting the sample, we find that the positive influence of earnings management on dividend policy in non-listed private companies is statistically significant only in companies whose shareholders have control (more than 50% of share capital) as opposed to firms with non-concentrated ownership. Our results contribute for the literature around the quality of financial reporting, lengthening these thematic to include non-listed companies.
“Enthusiastic Admiration Is the First Principle of Knowledge and Its Last”: A Qualitative Study of Admiration for the Famous

The concept of fame has been associated with celebrities, wealth, attractiveness, and social recognition. Nevertheless, people have admiration for the famous who may not be celebrities. Admiration is regarded as one of the emotions of appreciation, or moral emotions, triggered by positive appraisals of excellence. It is present when seeing extraordinary displays of skills talent or achievement. However, theoretical and empirical research on admiration and its psychological effects on people are scarce. In this article, we discuss a qualitative study that explores a collection of experiences of admiration for the famous. Based on 26 in-depth interviews with residents in southern England, we explored why people admire famous individuals and how the experience may produce positive attitudes and behaviors. We found that through admiring famous individuals who are perceived to share similar interests and attributes, people may develop positive thinking about their own lives and may be more active in seeking new opportunities or engaging in self-growth. We also discuss the potential problems of admiration. This exploratory research contributes to the literature of positive psychology and has implications for furthering the understanding of people’s well-being.
THE RISK OF SYSTEMATIC OF STOCK BANKING VERSUS MANUFACTURING IN INDONESIAN STOCK EXCHANGE

The beta market has been widely observed by researchers. Because of beta very important to be excuse for investment criteria decision. Furthermore, relevance concept of beta is still feasible, but the result of beta estimed still mixed (some are rejected and supported). This cause not from theoretical problems, but from methodological problems concerning errors in the method of estimating beta. In the sequal, this study intend to knows about the relationship of systematic risk (beta) within securities of banking versus manufacturing in Indonesian Stock Exchange. The data used is both of Jakarta Stock Index (JKSE) rate and return stock wich has been meausered (raw return and excess return) from banking and manufacturing with some criteria. It is used the big third firms have been based on asset into three observation periods (2010-2013). For measurement beta (CAPM) with single factor models, and then linked beta to return stock testing is done using OLS method and perform test for equality. The results showed that beta correction which considers to positive sigfinicance relationship within return stock banking and manufacturing. Furthermore, beta is difference between stock banking and manufacturing either no lead lag times or any lead lag times. The beta has been all correction positive, although not significane in lead lag 1 times.
Comprehensive Review on Honey: Biochemical and Medicinal Properties

Honey has been extensively used as healing agent throughout the human history in addition to its widespread usage as popular food. Honey is a sweet substance produced as a food source mainly from the nectar and secretions of plants by honey bees. Honey is used to feed bees during the winter. For centuries, honey has been used as food and as natural medicine, being prescribed by physicians of many ancient cultures for the treatment of a wide variety of ailments. The honey has been used from ancient times as a method of accelerating wound healing, and the potential of honey to assist with wound healing has been demonstrated repeatedly. Honey is gaining acceptance as an agent for the treatment of ulcers, bed sores and other skin infections resulting from burns and wounds. The healing properties of honey can be ascribed to the fact that it offers antibacterial activity, maintains a moist wound environment that promotes healing and has a high viscosity which helps to provide a protective barrier to prevent infection. There are many reports of honey being very effective as dressing of wounds, burns, skin ulcers and inflammations; the antibacterial properties of honey speed up the growth of new tissue to heal the wounds. The honey has been shown to have in vivo activity and is suitable for the treatment of ulcers, infected wounds and burns. In this review we provide some of the biochemical and medicinal attributes of honey in detail.
