THE ROLE OF SUSTAINABILITY IN ONLINE CUSTOMER THE ROLE OF SUSTAINABILITY IN ONLINE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES : A QUALITATIVE STUDY ON FEMALE FASHION EXPERIENCES : A QUALITATIVE STUDY ON FEMALE FASHION SHOPPERS SHOPPERS

This qualitative study aims to understand sustainability’s role in responsible consumers’ Online Customer Experiences (OCEs). In this study, we focus on female fashion shoppers, and study three dimensions of their OCE: cognitive, affective, and social. Although online shopping and responsible consumer behaviour have increased tremendously, sustainability’s role in OCE has not been studied before from the customer’s perspective. The data consists of nine semi-structural interviews of Finnish female self-proclaimed responsible consumers and is analyzed with qualitative content analysis. The findings show that sustainability issues are present in all OCE dimensions, which are also all interconnected. In short, we find that OCE’s cognitive dimension includes customers’ evaluation of the online store’s social and environmental sustainability as well as the product’s sustainability, necessity, and longevity. The affective dimension of OCE includes a wide range of feelings arising from perceived sustainability and one’s consumption choices. The social dimension includes one’s self-presentation, social channels, and the socio-technical implementation of online stores and their social features. The findings are beneficial for online store providers and academics interested in studying sustainability and OCE from the information systems perspective.
The tell-tale heart: Self-esteem, arousal, and relationship initiation

ABSTRACT Drawing upon risk-regulation theory and classic theories of interpersonal attraction, two experiments (N = 117 and N = 401) tested the hypothesis that self-esteem and arousal interact to regulate the desire to connect with new social partners. A mini-meta-analysis confirmed that when arousal (or its influence) was stronger, self-esteem was strongly and positively associated with connection motivation (d = .53), but when arousal (or its influence) was weaker, self-esteem was unrelated to connection motivation (d = −.05). Furthermore, stronger (vs weaker) arousal decreased lower self-esteem individuals’ connection motivation (d = -.23) but increased higher self-esteem individuals’ connection motivation (d = .36). These results suggest that self-esteem is an important moderator of the link between arousal and social motivation.

The Relationship between ESR/CRP Ratio, Platelet Indices and The Relationship between ESR/CRP Ratio, Platelet Indices and Rheumatoid Disease Activity Rheumatoid Disease Activity

Background : Measurement of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity helps guide therapeutic decision and follow-up. Several disease activity scores (DAS) have been developed. DAS28 is the most frequently utilized score and the backbone for the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria. Objective : To evaluate the possible association between erythrocyte sedimentation rate/C-reactive protein (ESR/CRP) ratio, MPV, and PDW and rheumatoid disease activity. Patients and methods : Ninety individuals were included and subdivided into three age and gender matched groups: group A: 30 RA patients who received conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), group B: 30 RA patients who received biological DMARDs, Group C: 30 healthy volunteers as a controls. Each participant was subjected to history taking, musculoskeletal examination, disease activity score by DAS 28, laboratory tests including complete blood count (CBC), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), ESR, and CRP. Results : DAS28-CRP was more signi ﬁ cantly reduced in biological DMARDs group than in conventional group at 6 months from baseline ( P < 0.001) as well as at one year from baseline ( P < 0.001) and at 12 months from 6 months ( P ¼ 0.003). Signi ﬁ cant positive associations were reported between MPV, PDW and DAS28-CRP all through study duration in conventional group as well as a biological group. A non-signi ﬁ cant relationship was reported between DAS28-CRP and ESR/CRP ratio in conventional group as well as biological group. Conclusion : MPV and PDW were signi ﬁ

Preferred feeding habitat of skipjack tuna in the eastern central Atlantic and western Indian Oceans: relations with carrying capacity and vulnerability to purse seine fishing

A single Ecological Niche model was developed for skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the eastern central Atlantic Ocean (AO) and western Indian Ocean (IO) using an extensive set of precise spatial occurrence data from the European purse seine fleet during 1998-2014. Productive fronts of chlorophyll-a were used as proxy for food availability while mixed layer depth, sea surface temperature, oxygen concentration, salinity, current velocity and sea surface height anomaly were selected to define skipjack physical oceanographic preferences. The common environmental feeding niche identified for skipjack emphasized highly contrasted oceanographic regimes between oceans with seasonal occurrence of gyre-type productive features at mesoscale in the IO and large scale upwelling systems that seasonally shrink and swell in the AO. About 60% of free-school (FSC) sets and 46% of fishing aggregating device (FAD) sets were found within favourable feeding grounds for skipjack. About 34% of FAD sets in the AO were however found to occur at a distance further than 100 km from favourable feeding conditions, mostly in the poor environment of the Guinea Current, and 10% for the FAD sets observed in the IO, as compared to 8% for all FSC sets. The ecological role of the Guinea Current remains unclear as regards to feeding and spawning since this particularly poor environment is remote from upwelling-rich areas while skipjack is known to spawn nearby feeding grounds (income breeding strategy). The results also emphasized in the IO a higher exposure of schools to purse seiners in months where preferred feeding habitat is reduced which may result in a geographic concentration of skipjack populations at the habitat scale. Finally, the significant positive correlation observed between the annual size of favourable habitat for feeding, the annual nominal catch rates and the total catches of skipjack in the IO i) agrees with the near full exploitation of skipjack in the IO since the 2000s and in the recent years for the AO, and ii) suggests to interpret the size of favourable habitat for feeding as an indicator of carrying capacity of the environment to sustain populations of this fast-reproducing species.
ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ATTACHMENT STYLES AND THE DARK TRIAD (MACHIAVELLIANISM, NARCISSISM AND PSYCHOPATHY)

This study aims to test whether there is a relationship between attachment style and the Dark Triad personality traits. A bivariate correlational design and a mean difference analysis were used to determine differences by sex. The sample consisted of 303 Spanish participants over 18 years of age. They were administered the Attachment Questionnaire (CaMir-R) and the Short Dark Triad (SD3). A negative relationship was obtained between secure attachment style and Dark Triad psychopathy and a positive relationship between insecure attachment and dark personality, highlighting disorganized attachment with Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy personality traits. In addition, the male group scored higher on these traits. It is important to establish secure attachments in childhood, as dark personality traits are characterized by the inability to emotionally bond with others and are a key predictor of insecure attachment and, therefore, comprise socially aversive personality dimensions.
Active tectonic and palaeoseismological features of the western section of Mustafakemalpaşa Fault; Bursa, NW Anatolia

The Mustafakemalpaşa Fault (MF), located among Manyas, Ulubat and Orhaneli faults, is a right lateral strike-slip and 47 km in length. The MF begins with a pressure ridge at the west and exhibits complex jog terminations at east ends in restraining left stepovers. The western section of the fault bounds Miocene and Quaternary units and continues towards İlyasçılar. The central segment of the fault, starts with approximately 750-m leftward stepover, exhibits a sinusoidal geometry between Kapaklıoluk and Kabulbaba. In this section, MF traverses mountainous terrain and cuts Ophiolite, Jurassic limestones and Miocene detritals, forming dextral faulting features and gaining reverse component. The eastern section exhibits left stepping en-echelon pattern and consists 2.5-km offset on the Orhaneli River. In this study, palaeoseismological findings related to the Holocene activity and active tectonic properties of the MF are presented. The trenches exposed mismatched stratigraphy, demonstrating evidence of events across the fault. We identified three events (before BC 2190, later AD 1425 and 1850) that have occurred during the past 4000 years. We suggest a long non-characteristic recurrence interval and ~0.7 mm/y slip-rate for MF, based on trench data and offset of the Late Pliocene drainage of Orhaneli River.
Role of Oceanic and Land Moisture Sources and Transport in the Seasonal and Interannual Variability of Summer Monsoon in India

AbstractThree key issues of moisture supply and Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) variability are discussed in the present work: identification of the oceanic and terrestrial sources of moisture; the extent to which each source affects the ISMR; and their individual contributions to the interannual variability of ISMR. The modified Dynamic Recycling Model, based on a Lagrangian trajectory approach, is used to estimate the relative contributions from 27 terrestrial and oceanic moisture source regions to the monsoon during 1979–2013. ERA-Interim data are used for the study. The results show that the ISMR is strongly influenced by the land–ocean–atmosphere interactions, and a significant fraction of atmospheric moisture to the ISMR comes from five main moisture sources: the western Indian Ocean (WIO), central Indian Ocean (CIO), upper Indian Ocean (UIO), Ganges basin (GB), and Red Sea and the neighboring gulf (RDG). The moisture flux from WIO is very high during the initial period of monsoon seasons. Fro.
Sleep and Sleep Disorders During Pregnancy and Postpartum: The Life-ON Cohort Study

Importance: sleep disorders are frequent during pregnancy and puerperium and contribute to the development of several complications. However, objective polysomnographic (PSG) studies and longitudinal sleep assessments are few and often limited in scope. Objective: to prospectively assess sleep and sleep disorders during pregnancy and postpartum in a large cohort of women. Design: first data release from the prospective Life-ON study, including home polysomnography between the 23rd and 25th week of pregnancy and sleep-related questionnaires at 11 points in time during pregnancy and one year postpartum, between 2016 and 2020. Setting: multicenter, prospective study, recruiting consecutive pregnant women from the local hospital gynecological departments. Participants: pregnant women between 18 and 55 years of age and without major morbidities, were recruited at a gestational age between 10 to 15 weeks by four sleep centers in Italy and Switzerland.
Experimental rapid and small-scale ecological population divergence in the absence of current natural selection

Adaptive divergence has long been a core topic in the field of evolutionary biology, with natural selection traditionally considered its only driver. Here we focus on the ability of matching habitat choice to generate population divergence and reproductive isolation. This alternative mechanism of divergence considers that individuals choose their habitats based on an evaluation of the ecological match between their phenotype and the available environments, which subsequently limits gene flow. To test this, we conducted experiments with captive zebra fiches equipped with transponder-tags and using transponder-operated bird feeders. We thereby created within a single aviary two areas with distinct resources, and the associated ecological traits that provided access to only one of the resources. We found that most zebra finches chose to breed in the same area as where they had access to their ecological resource, thereby creating population divergence in the absence of current natural selection on the ecological trait. This choice of breeding area indirectly resulted in assortative mating for the ecological trait. If the ecological trait were heritable, this assortative mating would carry the obtained divergence into the next generation. Our results experimentally confirm the predicted ability of matching habitat choice to drive rapid population divergence and limit maladaptive gene flow, especially at the small temporal and spatial scales where natural selection is unlikely to do so (here: one generation and one aviary). This might be increasingly relevant in a world where anthropogenic impacts create rapid environmental changes.
) GROWTH AND PRODUCTION IN MAIN SQUARE SYSTEM TREATMENT WITH LIQUID ORGANIC FERTILIZER OF GOLD SNAILS

The use of artificial chemicals as fertilizers and pesticides can endanger the health of the environment and consumers, so the potential utilization of natural materials as fertilizers and pesticides needs to be increased from local sources such as golden snails and citronella. The experiment aims to get the best interaction between golden snail Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) and citronella oil for rice growth and production. The experiment was carried out in the paddy fields of Jorong Paraman Ampalu, Gunung Tuleh District, West Pasaman Regency from September 2020 to January 2021 using an RBD of 2 factors with 3 replications. The first factor was the golden snail LOF concentration, namely: 0, 100, 200, and 300 ml/L. The second factor was the citronella oil concentration, namely: 0, 10, 20, and 30 ml/L. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and DNMRT at 5% and 1%. The experimental results showed that the interaction between golden snail LOF and citronella oil concentration accelerated flowering, increased panicle length, grain weight, and dry grain production per hectare, while the golden snail LOF concentration factor increased plant height, maximum number of tillers and productive tillers, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, and 1000 grain weight. The highest grain production was obtained at concentrations of golden snails LOF of 200 ml/L and citronella oils 20 ml/L, namely 9.18 t/ha. The frequency of attacks by ground beetles and golden snails decreased at a concentration of 30 ml/L citronella oil, while stink bug infestation frequency was reduced at a concentration of 10 ml/L.
The Economic Consequences of Legal Origins November 2007

In the last decade, economists have produced a considerable body of research suggesting that the historical origin of a country's laws is highly correlated with a broad range of its legal rules and regulations, as well as with economic outcomes. We summarize this evidence and attempt a unified interpretation. We also address several objections to the empirical claim that legal origins matter. Finally, we assess the implications of this research for economic reform. students in Ec 2470, four reviewers, and especially Louis Kaplow for extremely helpful comments.

Primary hypertension is the most prevalent type of hypertension, which is primarily attributed to genetic factors. The angiotensin-converting enzyme ( ACE ) gene has emerged as a prominent candidate among the genetic factors influencing blood pressure regulation. The ACE gene encodes the ACE, which plays a crucial role in the renin-angiotensin system. The ACE gene insertion/ deletion ( I/D ) polymorphism is a variation of the ACE gene that affects blood pressure regulation. Individuals with II, ID
Demeter: Fine-grained Function Orchestration for Geo-distributed Serverless Analytics

—In the era of global services, low-latency analytics on large-volume geo-distributed data has been a regular demand for application decision-making. Serverless computing facilitates fast function start-up and deployment, making it an attractive way for geo-distributed analytics. We argue that the serverless paradigm holds the potential to breach current performance bottlenecks via fine-grained function orchestration . However, how to configure it for geo-distributed analytics remains ambiguous. To fill this gap, we present Demeter, a scalable fine-grained function orchestrator for geo-distributed serverless analytics systems. Demeter aims to minimize the average cost of co-existing jobs while meeting user-specific Service Level Objectives (SLO). To handle the instability environment and learn the diverse function resource demands, a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) solution is used to co-optimize the per-function placement and resource allocation. The MARL extracts holistic and compact states via hierarchical graph neural networks, and then designs a novel actor network to shrink the huge decision space and model complexity. Finally, we implement Demeter and evaluate it using realistic workloads. Extensive experimental results reveal that Demeter significantly saves costs by at least 23.3%, while eliminating SLO violations by at least 27.4%, compared with the state-of-the-art baselines.
THE MEANING OF GENERATION Z ON FLEXING LUXURY BRAND ON SOCIAL MEDIA

The trend of utilizing luxury brands among Generation Z in Indonesia is on the rise. The shifting landscape of priorities among young individuals in this evolving era often results in tertiary needs taking precedence as primary necessities. Consequently, a hedonistic mindset emerges when indulging in luxury brand consumption. Furthermore, the inclination towards specific luxury brands goes beyond mere consumption; it fosters the development of a brand-focused lifestyle among the youth. Hence, a research initiative was undertaken to elucidate how Generation Z perceives luxury brands. Employing an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) within a constructivist framework, alongside a qualitative exploratory approach, the study aimed to uncover participants' interpretations of luxury brands. Data were acquired through interviews, subsequently subjected to analysis using methodologies outlined by Smith, Flowers, and Larkin. The research findings underscored that one of the catalysts for this phenomenon lies in Generation Z's aspiration for acknowledgment and acceptance within society. Financial, functional, social, and individual values collectively contribute to shaping the significance attached to luxury brands among this demographic. Generation Z holds the belief that social validation can be garnered by enhancing their standard of living or social status through the adoption of luxury brands, fostering hedonism and brand-conscious behavior.
