The Relationship between Customer Satisfaction and Customer Trust on Customer Loyalty

Furious competition among the banks induces the owners to find out the ways to ensure the sustainability in the market and to gain competitive advantage even among competition. Thus, focus towards the customer loyalty has increased more than ever before which drew the attention of the researchers en route for the identification of the antecedents of customer loyalty. In this regard, the relationship between customer satisfaction and trust on customer loyalty has investigated in the commercial banks of Sri Lanka. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between customer trust and loyalty; customer satisfaction and loyalty; and customer satisfaction and trust. Customer satisfaction has identified as an important influencer on customer loyalty. Further, customer trust impacted by customer satisfaction which proved that customer satisfaction is an antecedent of customer trust. Moreover, an indirect relationship between customer satisfaction and loyalty through customer trust was observed. The future studies may replicate in other service contexts and comparison of models of government and private banks will give more understanding.

Min Wang Jinxue Wei Xiao Yang Peiyan Ni Yingcheng Wang Liansheng Zhao Wei Deng Wanjun Guo Qiang Wang Tao Li Xiaohong Ma 1Mental Health Center and Psychiatric Laboratory, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, People’s Republic of China; 2Huaxi Brain Research Center, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, People’s Republic of China Purpose: Major depression disorder (MDD) was associated with inflammatory processes, but association results of inflammatory syndrome and MDD were inconsistent. To provide more evidence, we measured the plasma levels of IL-1β, IL-6, interferon (INT)-α2, INT-γ, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in patients having MDD and explored correlations between the five proinflammatory cytokines and specific depressive symptoms. Patients and methods: Plasma concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, INT-α2, INT-γ, and TNF-α were measured using ELISA for 44 MDD patients and 54 healthy controls. Patients with MDD were assessed on the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17), and a total score and five syndrome scores were acquired. Results: IL-6 levels in depressed patients were significantly elevated than in healthy controls, but no significant differences were observed in the levels of INF-α2, INF-γ, IL-1β, or TNF-α. In addition, correlation analysis revealed that sleep disturbances positively correlated with IL-6. Although there was no significant difference between the two groups in the levels of INF-α2, a significant positive correlation between IFN-α2 and retardation was observed. Conclusion: Elevated IL-6 levels were observed in MDD patients and IL-6 may correlate with sleep disturbances.
www.econstor.eu Friends’ Networks and Job Finding Rates

We investigate the effect of social interactions on labor market outcomes using a direct measure of social contacts based on information about individuals’ three best friends and their characteristics. We examine the effect of the number of employed friends on the transition from non-employment to employment, and we find the existence of significant network effects at the individual level. An additional employed friend increases the probability of finding a job by 3.7 percentage points. This finding is robust to specifications that address the endogeneity of friends’ employment status, which may be induced by correlation with unobserved individual attributes and feedback effects. Considering labor market outcomes, we find evidence of higher wages and employment stability for those with more employed friends, which is consistent with networks acting as an information transmission mechanism.

Measuring Trait Systems Intelligence: First steps towards a Trait-SI scale (TSIS)

This research article reports first steps towards a scale that aims at measuring systems intelligence as a trait-like construct (Trait-SI, Systems Intellect). After describing the process of item generation and the item content of the Trait-SI Scale (TSIS), psychometric properties of the scale are investigated. Students (N = 408) provided self-reports on socio-emotional skills (Riggio, 1989), selfmonitoring (Laux and Renner, 2002), self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1965), and the Big Five (Schupp and Gerlitz, 2008), as well as on a German 30-item version of the TSIS in an online-study. The scale’s reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) and construct validity are investigated. Further, the scale’s factor structure is explored. Results show good psychometric properties of the TSIS and its four retained factors. SI factors are mostly positively related to the other scales. Relationships are discussed with respect to how Trait-SI might be linked to other constructs in a nomological network. Future lines of research, especially concerning improvement of the TSIS as well as measurement of (Trait-)SI in general, are discussed.

The main research questions and objectives were listed out for guiding the analysis process, many quality literature reviews were used to support the research findings. The initiative of “One Belt One Road” proposed by China has active meaning and significant role for development of ASEAN countries. The “Belt and Road Initiative” has played a positive and practical role in the development strategy of ASEAN countries. The “Belt and Road” initiative and the China-ASEAN connectivity initiative can win numerous opportunities, but the obstacles and challenges will also exit at same time. Under OBOR initiative, both ASEAN and China would get better development, promoting relationships and benefit for people in ASEAN and China.
Prisoners’ criminal backgrounds and proven re-offending after release: results from the Surveying Prisoner Crime Reduction (SPCR) survey

Analytical Services exists to improve policy making, decision taking and practice by the Ministry of Justice. It does this by providing robust, timely and relevant data and advice drawn from research and analysis undertaken by the department’s analysts and by the wider research community. Prisoners’ criminal backgrounds and proven re-offending after release: results from the Surveying Prisoner Crime Reduction (SPCR) survey Richard Boorman and Kathryn Hopkins Ministry of Justice This paper complements the range of Surveying Prisoner Crime Reduction (SPCR) papers already published, based on a longitudinal cohort study of up to 3,849 prisoners sentenced in England and Wales in 2005 and 2006. Other papers focused on the SPCR prisoners’ childhood circumstances and backgrounds prior to custody including education, employment and accommodation, and demonstrated how many of these factors were associated with re-offending on release from prison. This paper is important to set these findings in context as this research confirms previous studies which have shown that previous offending is the factor most strongly associated with further re-offending, when all factors are considered together.
S0033291717003555jra 1..11

Background. Prior optical coherence tomography (OCT) studies of schizophrenia have identified thinning of retinal layers. However, findings have varied across reports, and most studies have had serious methodological limitations. To address unresolved issues, we determined whether: (1) retinal thinning in schizophrenia occurs independently of comorbid medical conditions that affect the retina; (2) thinning is independent of antipsychotic medication dose; (3) optic nerve parameters are abnormal in schizophrenia; and (4) OCT indices are related to visual and cognitive impairments common in schizophrenia. Methods. A total of 32 people with schizophrenia and 32 matched controls participated. Spectral domain OCT generated data on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), macula, and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCL-IPL) thickness, in addition to cup volume and the cup-to-disc ratio at the optic nerve head. Subjects with schizophrenia also completed measures of symptoms, visual processing, and IQ. Results. The groups did not differ on RNFL, macula, or GCL-IPL thickness. However, thinning of these layers was related to the presence of diabetes or hypertension across the sample as a whole. The schizophrenia group demonstrated enlarged cup volume and an enlarged cupto-disc ratio in both eyes, which were unrelated to medical comorbidity, but were related to increased cognitive symptoms. Conclusions. Past reports of retinal thinning may be artifacts of medical comorbidity that is over-represented in schizophrenia, or other confounds. However, optic nerve head abnormalities may hold promise as biomarkers of central nervous system abnormality, including cognitive decline, in schizophrenia.

Domestication of pasture and forage legumes for Australian Farming Systems; a personal perspective

Domesticated pasture legumes have played an important role in shaping broadacre farming systems in Australia. Past efforts have not only delivered novel plants species and cultivars but also substantial knowhow about the processes of domestication that allows current efforts to be targeted and effective. This paper outlines these proven processes and provides a reminder of the range of resources and skills that are needed when embarking on such initiatives. The range and complexity of component activities involved in pasture legume domestication and the time scale over which these efforts occur distinguish this from most other agricultural research and development. This has important implications for the extent, resourcing and organisational structure that is required for future efforts.
A Study of the Relationship between Organizational Culture and Organizational Effectiveness of the Electronic Industries in Taiwan (最適化数理の手法と実際 RIMS研究集会報告集)

Organizational culture has been shown to influence organizational effectiveness. This study defined the eight dimensions of organizational culture as: (1) $\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{t}/$ staff-oriented; (2) achievement-oriented; (3) innovative; (4) analytical; (5) social relationships; (6) rewarding staff; (7) stable work environment; (8) demanding. These eight dimensions of organizational culture showed generally sufficient characteristic. This study also suggested three dimensions of organizational effectiveness: (1) structural $\mathrm{f}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{x}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{y}/$ control; (2) focus $\mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{l}/$ external; (3) strategy $\mathrm{m}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{s}/$ ends. These three dimensions of organizational effectiveness presented the mainly ample characteristic. This study adopted the listed, over the counter (OTC) and emerging electronic companies only operating in Taiwan as the research objects. Consequently, 144 effective responses (21.18%) were collected. Then, this study tested the fit of this framework by LISREL (Linear Structure Relation) and found that the eight dimensions of organizational culture had a positive influence on organizational culture; the organizational culture positively influenced organizational effectiveness; the three dimensions of organizational effectiveness had a positive influence on organizational effectiveness. Surveys were contributed in the research objects. It found different impacts in each culture by DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis). Finally, to find a more objective relationship between organizational culture and organizational effectiveness, this study adopted a multi-organizational culture and multi-organizational effectiveness variables to do a pairwise comparison. This study understood the different and optimal influence among the variables in organizational culture and organizational effectiveness. It was supported by finding from the current literature. The implications for practice and for ffiture research are also discussed.
CONTRACTION, GRAMMATICALIZATION AND THE PHONOLOGY/SYNTAX INTERFACE: PROGRESSIVES IN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE

Using recently collected data, this paper presents a new analysis of the process of grammaticalization of the periphrasis referred to as estar + gerúndio, in Brazilian Portuguese. This periphrasis is morphologically equivalent to the English progressive be +gerund, but its usage is somewhat different. Aside from semantic differences, there is an interesting morph-syntactic distinction in the comparison between the Brazilian estar + gerúndio and the English be + gerund, in that the contracted auxiliary verb may be pronounced as a clitic not to the verb subject, but to the gerund. The main goal of this paper is to show that such a cliticization (Heine 1993, Heine et al. 1991) is variable. It may or may not occur, when the auxiliary estar is pronounced in its phonetically reduced version. Furthermore, there is a correlation between the phonetic reduction of the auxiliary and the insertion of other syntactic elements (such as adverbials) between estar and the gerund.
A feasibility study of carbohydrate counting and flexible insulin dosing in adults with type 2 diabetes: MATCH IT (MAtching Treatment to CarboHydrate in Insulin-treated type Two diabetes

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition which is associated with serious microvascular and macrovascular complications and diminished quality of life. Intensive glycaemic control has been shown to reduce the incidence of diabetes-related complications in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) but can further decrease quality of life. Carbohydrate counting and flexible insulin dosing is known to improve glycaemic control and quality of life in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Limited evidence suggests that this diabetes management method can also reduce glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) using prandial insulin (Bergenstal et al., 2008) but this has not been investigated rigorously and no studies have investigated the impact on psychosocial outcomes. Research questions: Does insulin dose adjustment in line with mealtime carbohydrate intake in adults with T2DM using prandial insulin improve the primary outcomes HbA1c and quality of life? Impact on secondary outcomes including treatment satisfaction and vascular risk factors was also assessed. Method: A feasibility study, using a randomised controlled delayed start (waiting list) trial design, was conducted. Adults with T2DM using prandial insulin were trained to count carbohydrates and adjust insulin doses through group education sessions. Results: Carbohydrate counting and flexible insulin dosing in adults with T2DM was found to be non-inferior to static dosing insulin regimes, and was associated with improved quality of life and reduced perception of hypoglycaemia. This was associated with non-significant reductions in body weight, waist circumference and total daily insulin dose and was achieved despite increased dietary freedom, and without significant deterioration in other vascular risk factors. Conclusions: This management method has the potential to improve quality of life whilst maintaining or optimising glycaemic control in individuals with T2DM who require a variable insulin regime. The rising incidence of T2DM, its economic and health burden, and the increasingly younger patient profile make these findings particularly pertinent. Further research is warranted to explore these initial findings. Declaration of original work I hereby declare that work contained herewith is original and is entirely my own work.

A STUDY ON PREWEANING POSTURAL BEHAVIOUR OF LARGE WHITE YORKSHIRE PIGLETS

A study was carried out to understand the behavior of piglets during preweaning period. Various behavioural traits viz., sleeping, ear twitch, body twitch, sleeping in contact, lying, sitting, standing and moving were recorded from birth to weaning at different hours in a day from morning 6 A.M to evening 6 P.M at 60 minutes interval for a continuous period of 56 days using thirty piglets for the study. The data was subjected to statistical analysis to arrive at conclusions. Highest mean proportion of piglets (42.44%) were found sleeping at 5 P.M and least at 4 P.M. and significant differences (P<0.001) were observed between most of the hours. Ear twitch and body twitch were expressed by majority of the pigs between 8 -10 A.M, while very few exhibited during the later hours of the day. Significant differences were noticed for ear twitch (P<0.001) between different hours while the body twitch did not differ significantly (P=0.004) between hours of observation. Maximum number of piglets were found to be sleeping in contact with each other at 5 P.M (8.93 %) and minimum number were at 3P.M (1.43%) and significant differences (P<0.001) were seen between certain hours. 19.82 percent of piglets were lying at 6 A.M. whereas, this behaviour reduced as the day advanced and a significant difference was observed (P<0.001) between morning and evening hours only. Highest percent of piglets (8.21%) were standing at 7 A.M. and least proportion of piglets at 11 A.M. and values differed significantly (P<0.001) between few hours. Highest proportion of piglets was sitting (6.31%) and moving (34.23 %) at 6 A.M. and least proportion of piglets were sitting at 8 A.M (0.48 %) and moving at 2 P.M (3.21 %) on an average during a day. The values were significantly different (P<0.001) between morning and evening hours. The piglet behavior appeared to vary from birth to weaning as the age advanced.
Pupil Function in Pseudophakia: Proximal Miosis Behavior and Optical Influence

The pseudophakic eye lacks the ability to produce a refractive change in response to object proximity. Thus, individual anatomical features such as the pupil size play an important role in achieving functional vision levels. In this work, the range of pupil sizes at varying object distance was measured in pseudophakic participants. Furthermore, the impact of the measured values on eye optical quality was investigated using a computer simulation model. A binocular eye-tracker was used to measure the participants’ pupil sizes at six object distances, ranging from 0.33 m (i.e., vergence of 3.00 D) to 3.00 m (i.e., vergence of 0.33 D), while observing a Maltese cross with a constant angular size of 1 ∘ . In total, 58 pseudophakic participants were enrolled in this study (age mean ± standard deviation: 70.5 ± 11.3 years). The effects of object distance and age on pupil size variation were investigated using linear mixed effects regression models. Age was found to have a small contribution to individual variability. The mean infinite distance pupil size (intercept) was 4.45 ( 95 % CI: 2.74, 6.17) mm and the mean proximal miosis (slope) was − 0.23 ( 95 % CI: −0.53, 0.08) mm/D. The visual acuity (VA) estimation for a distant object ranged from − 0.1 logMAR (smallest pupil) to 0.04 logMAR (largest pupil) and the near VA ( 0.33 m) when mean proximal miosis was considered ranged from 0.28 logMAR (smallest pupil) to 0.42 logMAR (largest pupil). When mean distance pupil was considered, proximal miosis individual variability produced a variation of 0.04 logMAR for the near object and negligible variation for the distant object. These results support the importance of distance pupil size measurement for the prediction of visual performance in pseudophakia, while suggesting that proximal miosis has a negligible impact in VA variability.
Ribaxamase, an orally administered β-lactamase, protects the gut microbiome in patients treated with ceftriaxone

The gut microbiome is important to human health and provides colonization resistance against opportunistic pathogens like Clostridium difficile [1-3]. When the balance of the gut microbiome is perturbed, colonization resistance can be lost allowing overgrowth of pathobionts, potentially leading to infection [1,4]. The mechanism of colonization resistance has been well documented for C. difficile as strains of gut bacteria metabolize primary bile salts to secondary bile salts, which, in turn, inhibit germination of C. difficile spores [5]. When these beneficial bacteria, most of which are obligate anaerobes, are lost, so too is the inhibition of C. difficile germination. Thus, alterations to gut microbiome composition in the presence of C. difficile spores can result in fulminant C. difficile infection (CDI) [6].
