An Exploration of Critical Success Factors for Enterprise Resource Planning System Implementation

Enterprise resource planning System (ERPS) is a standout amongst the most complicated frame-works in data framework field. Its usage is exorbitant and more confounded. Also, vast numbers of ERPS usage have been unsuccessful. Hence, the critical success factors (CSFs) of ERPS execution still are among the most critical research zone throughout the years with a specific end goal to conquer the issue of fizzled ERPS usage. Consequently, this paper summarizes the earlier efforts to collect these CSFs and evaluating them through a literature review. Our work proposed to move back to the first meaning of CSFs of ERPS execution with a specific end goal to locate the common factors that have similar importance and after that, maintaining a strategic distance from the issue of making a perplex of them. What is more is that this paper proposes an examination zone to explain those CSFs profoundly by considering numerous factors like tracking CSFs of ERPS execution over the time, technology evolution, and qualities of the nations.
Technology-Organization-Environment Model and Technology Acceptance Model in Adoption of Social Media Marketing on SMEs Tourism

This study aims to analyze the model of social media adoption in SMEs tourism in Special Region of Yogyakarta, with antecedents’ managers innovativeness, pressure from competitors, barrier to adoption, Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEU) and attitude. Two theoretical approaches are used, namely Technology Acceptance Model and Technology-organization-environment (TOE) models. This research is a survey research. Respondents in this study are managers of SMEs tourism. The social media adoption model was tested empirically using 200 respondents. Structural Equation Model is used to analyze research data. This study analyzes the social media adoption of tourism SMEs in developing countries, because although there are many studies on social media adoption in developing countries, very few focus on social media adoption in the small-scale tourism industry. This research integrates TAM and TOE in exploring the adoption of social media marketing on SMEs tourism by adding a barrier to adoption. The results of this study indicate that the TAM model combined with TOE supports the social media adoption model. Most of the variables studied were largely significant, but this study could not justify the influence of barriers on social media adoption.
Impact of Security on Rental Price of Residential Properties: Evidence from South Africa

The property market plays a vital role in the economy through the provision of constructed space for productive activities and employment opportunities. Evidence gleaned from the literature suggests that the level of security within an area affects property prices. In the current study, the distance between a property and the police station was used as a proxy variable for measuring the perceived level of security. The data on rental prices of residential properties and its attributes were retrieved from a reliable property source (www.property24.com). A Neural network model was used for evaluating the impact of the presence of a police station on rental prices of residential properties within Cape Town, South Africa. Experimental results showed that the developed model is 77.27% accurate when used to predict the rental prices of residential properties. Floor area, number of bathroom, number of bedroom and proximity of a police station have the most significant impact on the rental price of residential properties. Greater efforts are needed to provide insights into the effect of sustainability on rental prices of residential properties. This information would serve a justification for embedding sustainability into residential construction projects.
One Year Follow-up Results after Sleeve Gastrectomy in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with Morbid Obesity

Abstract Background and aims: Bariatric surgery has been shown to be superior to nonsurgical approaches in terms of weight loss and remission of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome. This prospective, single-center, follow-up study assessed percentage of excessive weight loss (%EWL), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, prescribed antidiabetes drugs and diabetes remission rates in obese T2DM patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Materials and methods: 81 patients were selected and data recorded preoperatively, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Results: We recorded - 69.3% EWL at 12 months (p<0.0001 compared to baseline) and a fall of HbA1c from 8.1±2.6% to 6.7±2.8% at 12 months postoperatively (p<0.0001). The percentage of patients with HbA1c<6.5% showed an increase to 40.7% (p=0.0004) and the one year T2DM remission rate was 20.9% (p=0.0012). Conclusions: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can significantly reduce the BMI, with near 70% EWL and near 21% T2DM remission rate in 1 year.
Implications of strategic flexibility in small firms: the moderating role of absorptive capacity

Purpose Guided by the theory of dynamic capabilities and the knowledge-based view of an organization, the purpose of this paper is to examine the crucial role played by entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity in the relationship between strategic flexibility and firm performance, with a specific focus on small firms. Design/methodology/approach The study uses survey data collected from owners of 272 small businesses in India and follows the linear regression method to establish the link between strategic flexibility and firm performance. It hypothesizes that the strategic flexibility of a small firm impacts entrepreneurial orientation, and subsequently its performance, while absorptive capacity further enhances this relationship. Findings The conclusions drawn from the study provide empirical evidence on the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation in the relationship between strategic flexibility and firm performance. The findings also point out that the potential absorptive capacity of a firm strengthens the relationship between its strategic flexibility and entrepreneurial orientation. Research limitations/implications The empirical findings of the study are limited to small firms from the automotive service industry. Practical implications The study contributes to the existing knowledge on managerial practice by pointing out the importance of strategic flexibility as a dynamic capability and illustrating its impact in the case of a small firm’s performance. Originality/value As yet, there is a dearth of empirical evidence derived from large samples of small firms. The study supplements available literature on dynamic capabilities and knowledge management.
The Use of Social Media in Enterprises for Communication, Collaboration, and Knowledge Management

In recent years, the success of social media in the private realm has entailed an increasing awareness of opportunities that are linked to user-generated content in knowledge management systems. Alongside the benefits in terms of knowledge quantity, new quality risks arise from an unregulated knowledge contribution. Considering that, review mechanisms have been implemented to monitor the content and provide a basis to distinguish between good and poor quality knowledge assets. This paper proposes a model to uncover the role of trust in expert and peer reviews during the knowledge application process by considering its antecedents, its outcomes, and the influence of perceived risk. The model suggests that trust in expert and peer reviews is based on the ability, benevolence, and integrity of the respective group and is positively influenced by a higher trustor’s propensity to trust. Perceived risk in a particular situation influences the decision whether to apply knowledge based on trust in expert or in peer reviews. It is assumed that high-risk decisions are based on expert reviews more likely because the organizational and individual risk is perceived to be lowered, whereas peer reviews can only mitigate organizational risk.
Soil-transmitted helminthiasis among Indian primary school children in Selangor, Malaysia.

A survey ofa total of 1,157 Indian primary school children from eight schools from urbanand ruralareas in and around Kuala Lumpur showed an overall prevalence of infection with soil-transmitted helminthiasis of 89.02%. The prevalence and intensity of infection were consistently high among both school boys and girls throughout the six years of primary school. The predominant helminth was Trichuris trichiura both as single and mixed infections. The commonest type of helminthic infection among urban primary school children was mixed infections with Trichuris trichiura and Ascaris lumbricoides. Hookworm infections, both as single or mixed infections, were more common among school children from rubber and oil palm estates in the ruralareas.

Background : Bangladesh is an agro-based country. Suicide by agrochemical compounds are increasing day by day in this country. Organophosphorus compounds (OPC) are commonly used for suicide. Mostly these are used for suicidal purpose in rural areas in our country due to low cost, toxicity and availability. Objective : To find out the relationship of age and sex variation along with the causes that influenced different income group people to ingest OPC for committing suicide. Materials and Methods : This study was conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Dhaka Medical College during January to December 2010. Data were collected at the time of autopsy and from postmortem examination report of viscera. Viscera were preserved and sent to the Chief Chemical Examiner’s Office, Dhaka for toxicological analysis. Results : In this study, middle aged subjects (20–30 years) were found to commit suicide using OPC in comparison to other age groups. Among the cases male were 57% and female 43%. Poverty was found as the most common cause (20%) of OPC poisoning. Conclusion : Poverty is the leading cause of death of OPC poisoning followed by failure in love and adultery. Business failure, unhappiness in conjugal life, demand for dowry and violence against women are other causes to commit suicide by OPC. J Enam Med Col 2016; 6(2): 97-100
Do Your Ads Talk Too Fast To Your Audio Audience?

ABSTRACT Speech rate plays a critical role in understanding speech and therefore in advertising messages. Announcers tend to speak fast in radio and television commercials. Can this pace affect consumers' cognitive processing? This study analyzes the effects of different speech rates (160, 180, and 200 words per minute) on the effectiveness of commercials, physiological arousal and attention, emotional valence, and recall and recognition of information with respect to audio advertisements. The results showed that speech rate influenced cognitive processing and modified the consumer's physiological response. The commercials at a moderate rate—180 words per minute—achieved the best results. These findings suggest that the announcer's rate should be adjusted to achieve the best consumer information processing.

Physiological Parameters Associated With 24 Hour Run Performance: 3491 Board #252 May 30, 8

Objectives: Few studies have examined the relationship between physiological variables and ultra-marathon performance. Accordingly, we assessed the physiological parameters of male and female ultra-marathon runners of various talent levels and determined if these parameters were associated with race performance during a 24 h ultra-marathon. Methods: Participants (n=9, maximal oxygen uptake; VO2max=52.86±8.78 ml·kg· -1 ·min -1 ) with previous ultra-marathon running experience were tested for body fat percentage (BF%), VO2max, ventilatory threshold (VT) and running economy (RE) within one month of competing in a timed ultra-marathon. After completion of the race, Pearson product correlations were run against mean running speed and total distance completed, while gender differences were assessed using an independent t-test. Statistical significance was accepted as p≤0.05. Results: Males had significantly lower BF% and higher VO2max values compared to females. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was significantly correlated with mean running speed (r=0.78), but not total distance (r=-0.38). Total distance was found to be positively related with RE at both 2.67 (r=0.87, p=0.012) and 3.56 m·s -1 (r=0.81, p=0.026), while no relationship was observed with RE and mean running speed (r≥-0.53). Conclusions: Less efficient runners, defined as those with higher VO2 during the RE trials, covered greater distances over the 24 h race compared to runners with better RE (i.e., lower VO2 during the RE trials). Further, VO2max did not determine total race distance. In closing, a high VO2max may allow runners to maintain faster mean running speeds throughout the race; however numerous other variables such as pacing, nutrition and motivation may limit its ability to be an accurate predictor of 24 h race performance.
The Roles of Accounting Valuations and Earnings Management in the Survivorship of Technology Firms during the Global Financial Crisis

This study examines the survivorship of technology firms listed on the NASDAQ market during the immediate and post-2008 global financial crisis period. Underpinned by contingency theory, this study demonstrates the varying roles of accounting valuation and earnings management metrics in the technology industry. Findings in this chapter show during the global financial crisis periods, technology firms have greater survivorships when they are undervalued, and possess a lesser degree of discretionary earnings (DA). The DA factor is a double-edged sword for technology firms since it has positive and negative effects on the returns and survivorships, respectively. The research and development (R&D) variable remains a positive component for both returns and survivorships of these firms.

An Exploratory Study Based on a Questionnaire Concerning Green and Sustainable Finance, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Performance: Evidence from the Romanian Business Environment

Green and sustainable finance, corporate social responsibility and financial and non-financial performance are attracting widespread interest due to the challenging times that the business environment is currently facing. Moreover, green and sustainable finance, corporate social responsibility, and intellectual and human capital have become central issues in measuring organizations’ success, competitive advantage and influence on the marketplace. This scientific paper seeks to address the relationship between corporate social responsibility, intellectual capital and performance, providing valuable insights and relevant evidence from a Romanian business environment. The questionnaire method was used for the targeted research objectives, which referred to: (a) Romanian organizations and local community understanding of green and sustainable finance, corporate social responsibility and intellectual capital; (b) corporate social responsibility actions taken by Romanian organizations and the local community; (c) main drivers of corporate social responsibility and intellectual capital in Romanian organizations; and (d) ways to enhance financial and non-financial performance of Romanian organizations with the aid of corporate social responsibility and intellectual capital. The findings support the idea of a strong relationship between corporate social responsibility, intellectual capital and performance in the Romanian business environment. Our work shows that, broadly speaking, Romanian entities operate on a socially responsible level, being aware of the importance and the advantages brought by both corporate social responsibility and intellectual capital when it comes to enhancing profit, productivity and performance. Our results are highly encouraging and may be validated by a larger sample size.
Prospective phase II study of preoperative chemoradiation with capecitabine in locally advanced rectal cancer.

PURPOSE Capecitabine is an attractive oral chemotherapeutic agent that has a radiosensitizing effect and tumor-selectivity. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of preoperative chemoradiation therapy, when used with oral capecitabine, for locally advanced rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective phase II trial of preoperative chemoradiation for locally advanced adenocarcinomas of the lower two-thirds of the rectum was conducted. A radiation dose of 50 Gy over five weeks and a daily dose of 1650 mg/m(2) capecitabine in two portions was administered during the entire course of radiation therapy. Surgery was performed with standardized total mesorectal excision four to six weeks after completion of the chemoradiation. RESULTS Between January 2002 and September 2003, 61 patients were enrolled onto this prospective phase II trial. The pretreatment clinical stages were T3 in 64% (n=39), T4 in 36% (n=22) and N1-2 in 82% (n=50) of these patients. Fifty-six (92%) patients completed the chemoradiation as initially planned and a complete resection performed in 58 (95%). Down-staging was observed in 45 patients (74%) and a pathologic complete response in 6 (10%). Among the 37 patients with tumors located within 5 cm from the anal verge on colonoscopy, 27 (73%) underwent a sphincter-preserving procedure. No grade 3 and 4 proctitis or hematological toxicities were observed. CONCLUSION Preoperative chemoradiation therapy with capecitabine achieved encouraging rates of tumor downstaging and sphincter preservation, with a low toxicity profile. This combined modality can be regarded as a safe and effective treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer.
The Research Excellence Framework (REF) in the UK: processes, consequences and incentives to engage
