The Influence of Streamer’s Characteristics on Consumer Purchase Intention Through Live Streaming

This study conducted in Malaysia aimed to investigate the factors influencing consumers intentions to make purchase through live streaming. The research focused on streamer’s characteristics, specifically attractiveness, trustworthiness, expertise, and interactivity, to determine their impact on consumer purchase intention. The survey involved 150 respondents randomly chosen among Malaysian, who answered a questionnaire distributed through platforms live WhatsApp, Instagram and Twitter. Multiple regression analysis revealed that two streamer characteristics, trustworthiness and expertise, exhibited a strong association with customer intention to purchase through live streaming. However, streamer’s attractiveness and interactivity were not found to be significantly related to customer purchase intention. This findings offer valuable insights for both aspiring live streamers and marketers. Trustworthiness and expertise emerged as crucial attributes for streamers looking to influence consumer purchase intentions. This information serves as a practical guide for individuals aspiring to become live streamers, emphasizing the importance of building trust and showcasing expertise. Additionally, marketers seeking suitable candidates for live streaming partnerships can use this study as a reference to identify streamers who possess the key characteristics that positively impact consumer behavior. Overall, this study provides nuanced understanding of the dynamics between streamers characteristics and consumer preferences in the context of live streaming in Malaysia.
Molecular Evaluation of HIV-1 HAART Efficacy, Comparison of TDF+3TC+EFV and AZT+3TC+NVP Regimens

Context: The UNAIDS goal of ending the HIV epidemic by 2030 will be achieved primarily through the success of the three “95s” by 2030, and in particular the third “95 », which consists of achieving an undetectable viral load thanks to effective antiretroviral treatment. Achieving and maintaining viral suppression is the goal of ART and a good knowledge of the effectiveness of triple ARV therapies can help national HIV programs. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the two ARTs, Tenovofir + Lamivudine +Efavirenz (TDF+3TC+EFV) and Zidovudine+Lamivudine+ Efavirenz (AZT+3TC+NVP) in their abilities to make the plasma viral load of HIV+ patients under treatment undetectable. Material and method: This is a retrospective study of the management of HIV-1 seropositive patients, followed at the Military Hospital of Ouakam (HMO) Molecular Biology laboratory from 2014 to 2021. The main criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment was the proportions of patients whose Viral load values were undetectable, VL< 50 copies/ml depending on duration of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Plasma viral load tests were carried out on Abbott Real Time HIV-1® (m2000sp/rt) and COBAS®AmpliPrep/COBAS®TaqMan® (Roche) version 2.0. Variables with p<0.05 were considered statistically significant for all comparisons between groups. Results: 3,335 patients met the inclusion criteria, including 2,078 on TDF+3TC+EFV, 445 on AZT+3TC+NVP and 812 were excluded due to death, transfer or loss to follow-up. At 6 months of ART, VL was undetectable in 7.3% of patients on TDF+3TC+EFV and 6.7% of patients on AZT+3TC+NVP (P=0.67). 78.2% versus 73.4% of patients had an undetectable VL respectively for TDF+3TC+EFV and AZT+3TC+NVP at 12 months of ART (p=0.03). TDF+3TC+EFV had significantly higher virological success rates than AZT+3TC+NVP (85.7% versus 80.2%) and virological failure (VL>1000 copies/ml) was significantly greater in patients taking AZT+3TC+NVP (13% versus 7.2%) after 18 months (P=0.001). Gender and age had a significant relationship in treatment success. Conclusion: TDF+3TC+EFV was superior in terms of virological suppression at the end of the study period. These results support the WHO recommendation to use TDF+3TD+EFV as an alternative first-line regimen.
Prognostic Significance of Measurable Residual Disease Detection by Flow Cytometry in Autologous Stem Cell Apheresis Products in AML

cute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease both in terms of genetics and clinical outcome. 1 Patients can be subdivided into 3 risk groups using the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) prognostic risk classification with significantly different cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) and overall survival (OS) rates. 2 Induction therapy for patients considered fit for intensive therapy commonly starts with 2 cycles of high-dose chemotherapy. The choice of postremission therapy is based on the risk classification and measurable residual disease (MRD) status. 3,4 It consists of consolidation with nonmyeloablative chemotherapy, myeloablative chemotherapy followed by an autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-SCT), or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-SCT). 5 Due to good tolerability, myeloablative chemotherapy (busulfan and cyclophosphamide) followed by an auto-SCT can be considered as a consolidation therapy for ELN favorable-and intermediate-risk patients who are in first complete remission and MRD negative in bone marrow (BM). 6–9 While MRD assessment in BM is the standard practice, alternative sources such as autologous hematopoietic cell apheresis products (ASCAPs) are of interest, particularly when BM samples
SHRIMP Zircon UPb Age of the Granite at Baizhangzi Gold Field in Lingyuan, Liaoning Province

The zircons of ore-bearing granite at Baizhangzi gold field in Lingyuan, Liaoning Province yield a SHRIMP U-Pb age of (222± 3)Ma, the same with the ages of Dushan granic batholith in the same region and the granite-porphyry in Sanjia gold field.It is suggested that the granites belong to post-collision granites of Indo-Chinese epoch. This age may be the lower limit of the gold ore formation, which means the mineralization time is not earlier than Indo-chinese epoch. According to the associated features of the gold veins and late-aged dikes, the mineralization probably took place during the Yanshan epoch in Mesozoic era.
Unified New Techniques for NP-Hard Budgeted Problems with Applications in Team Collaboration, Pattern Recognition, Document Summarization, Community Detection and Imaging

: This paper introduces new techniques for any NP-hard problems formulated as monotone integer programming (IPM) with a budget constraint “budgeted IPM”. Problems of this type have diverse applications, including maximizing team collaboration, the maximum diversity problem, facility dispersion, threat detection, minimizing conductance, clustering, and pattern recognition. We present a unified framework for effective algorithms for budgeted IPM problems based on the Langrangian relaxation of the budget constraint. It is shown that all optimal solutions for all values of the Lagrange multiplier are generated very efficiently, and the piecewise linear concave envelope (convex, for minimization problems) of these solutions has breakpoints that are optimal solutions for the respective budgets. This is used to derive high quality upper and lower bounds for budgets that do not correspond to breakpoints. We show that for all these problems, the weight “perturbation” concept, that was successful for the problem of maximum diversity in enhancing the number and distribution of breakpoints, is applicable. Furthermore, the insights derived from this efficient frontier of solutions, lead to the result that all the respective ratio problems have a solution at the “first” breakpoint, which generalizes the concept of maximum density subgraph.
Flood vulnerability assessment in the mountain–plateau transition zone: a case study of Marginea village (Romania)

The Sucevita catchment is affected by heavy rains, which produce annual floods with catastrophic effects. Among them, the material damages caused to the dwellings of Marginea village stand out. The present study examines the vulnerability of the population and buildings of a village situated in the eastern part of the Eastern Carpathians. By applying the multicriteria method, areas with high flood vulnerability were pointed out in the Sucevita catchment. Hydraulic modelling was carried out using the HEC‐RAS software and revealed that 58 dwellings with high vulnerability will be affected in the case of a flood with an exceedance probability of 1% and 17 buildings in the case of a flood with an exceedance probability of 5%. By knowing the flood vulnerability zones, the appropriate measures can reduce the damages of a hydrological event. Moreover, the proper delimitation of the floodplain leads to adequate economic management and ensures the security of the population.
Unlocking New Avenues in Breast Cancer Treatment: The Synergy of Kinase Inhibitors and Immunotherapy

Simple Summary Recent research has revealed a possible synergy between kinase inhibitors and immunotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer. Kinase inhibitors can modulate the tumor microenvironment, making it more receptive to the infiltration and activation of immune cells. This modulation increases the efficacy of subsequent immunotherapeutic interventions, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors. Moreover, targeting specific kinase pathways may reverse the immune evasion mechanisms employed by tumor cells, making them more susceptible to immune recognition and destruction. This dual approach promises to improve response rates and outcomes in breast cancer patients, particularly in kinase-disrupted subtypes. The convergence of kinase inhibitors and immunotherapy represents an exciting frontier in breast cancer treatment. Thus, in this review, we will examine these combinations and their potential impact on the efficacy of responses to these treatments. Abstract Cancer is one of the world’s most significant health problems today. Currently, breast cancer has globally surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. In 2020, an estimated 2,261,419 new cases were diagnosed in women worldwide. Therefore, there is a need to understand the processes that can help us better treat this disease. In recent years, research in the fight against cancer has often been based on two treatment modalities. One of them is the use of protein kinase inhibitors, which have been instrumental in the development of new therapeutic strategies. Another crucial route is the use of immunotherapy, which has been touted as a great promise for cancer treatment. Protein kinase alterations can interfere with the effectiveness of other treatments, such as immunotherapy. In this review, we will analyze the role played by protein kinase alterations in breast cancer and their possible impact on the effectiveness of the response to immunotherapy treatments.
Using Video Activity Reports to Support Remote Project-Based Learning

Distance learning has been expanding. Learner engagement is particularly important in project-based learning (PBL), but the interaction between teacher and learner and the understanding of learner status, including engagement, is not easy. This study aims to support teacher-learner communication based on learner engagement for remote PBL. In this paper, we propose the use of video activity reports by learners to estimate and understand learner engagement and to demonstrate its feasibility on the basis of the relationship between verbal and nonverbal information that can be obtained from video activity reports and learner engagement. Analysis of 232 video activity reports submitted by eight graduate students while working on remote research-based PBLs reveals that learner engagement decreases (1) when the report contained negative words, (2) when filled pauses were frequent or long, and (3) when silent pauses were infrequent or short. Furthermore, the feasibility of an AI-based support system is demonstrated through the design and implementation of a prototype.
The Role of Biochar and Perlite in Improving some Physical Properties of Clay Loam and Sandy Loam Soil

A laboratory experiment was carried out in the laboratory of the Department of soil sciences and Water Resources, College of Agriculture – the University of Diyala, where the experimental factors was the soil type factor (clay loam and sandy loam) and the soil conditioners agent by adding biochar at the level of 1 and 2% and symbolized by B1 and B2 and perlite at the level of 1 and 2% and symbol it has P1 and P2, and it was added according to the soil dry weight, with three replications, CRD design, and plastic tubes were used to incubate the treatments for 14 weeks. The results showed an increase in the water infiltration in the clay loam soil by an increase of 23% when using biochar ratios 1 and 2%, while the infiltration decreased in the sandy loam soil by a decrease of 16 and 31% when using biochar 1 and 2%, while the use of perlite in the proportions of 1 and 2% increased the infiltration. In the sandy loam soil. This applies to the saturated hydraulic conductivity values. The Bulk density soil decreased when using biochar ratios 1 and 2% in the clay loam soil with decrease rates of 13 and 26%, and it also decreased when using perlite ratios 1 and 2% with decrease rates of 10 and 13%, and it also decreased when using ratios 1 and 2% biochar with sandy loam soil with decrease rates of 11 and 17%. The soil porosity increased when 1 and 2% biochar was used in the clay loam soil with an increase of 15 and 7%, and it increased when 1 and 2% perlite was added in the same soil with an increase of 5 and 6%.
Dental ecomorphology and macroevolutionary patterns of North American Late Cretaceous metatherians

Metatherian mammals were taxonomically rich and abundant in Late Cretaceous faunas of North America. Although much attention has been paid to metatherian taxonomy, a comprehensive, quantitative study on the ecomorphology of this clade is lacking. Here, we predict the diets of a large sample of metatherians using three-dimensional dental topographic analysis, with the aim to better understand macroevo-lutionary patterns in dental morphology and dietary diversity. Contrary to their taxonomic diversity patterns, our results show that dental disparity and dietary diversity did not significantly change throughout the Late Cretaceous and that most metatherians were invertivorous (diets of insects and soft-bodied invertebrates). Nevertheless, we also found that metatherians occupied a wide range of dietary niches and were arguably the most dietarily diverse of any mammalian clade of the Late Cretaceous. Regarding the timing of metatherian ecomorphological diversification
Comment on: Piezometric response in shallow bedrock at CB1: Implications for runoff generation and landsliding. Authors' reply

[1] Piezometric responses to rainfall on hillslopes commonly dictate the timing of landsliding. Insight to this phenomenon can be gained by evaluating the timescales for pore pressure perturbations to propagate normal and parallel to the ground surface, and these timescales can be estimated using characteristic values of hydraulic diffusivity [Iverson, 2000]. However, Montgomery et al. [2002] employed an erroneous definition of hydraulic diffusivity, leading to flawed assessment of the piezometric response timescales identified by Iverson [2000]. This comment aims to rectify the errors of Montgomery et al. [2002] and clarify the methods used by Iverson [2000] to estimate piezometric response timescales at the CB1 field site studied by Montgomery et al.
Pore Pressure in Montmorillonite During Frictional Sliding

Earth's shallow crust is pervasively breached by fractures and faults that are often filled with saturated clays such as montmorillonite. Pore pressure in montmorillonite is difficult to measure due to its extremely low permeability, resulting in large uncertainties in its friction, which, in turn, may impact our understanding on the mechanical behaviors of the shallow crust. This difficulty motivates us to investigate pore pressure in montmorillonite during frictional sliding. Here we provide a first order understanding on the evolution of pore pressure in montmorillonite during frictional sliding by combining experimental data with an analytical consolidation model. Our result shows large variations in pore pressure in montmorillonite during frictional sliding, which need correction for the evaluation of friction of montmorillonite. We re‐visit this problem with the measured stresses at the end of our slow loading experiments where the modeled pore pressure approaches zero and obtain a new relation that shows a significant cohesive strength. The new relation may be united with our modeled pore pressure with a Biot‐Willis effective stress coefficient of α ∼ 0.5. X‐ray powder diffraction analysis of our samples shows evidence that intense deformation occurred during the frictional sliding with strain‐hardening, consistent with the occurrence of shear localization in the clay matrix following extended frictional sliding (Tembe et al., 2010, https://doi.org/10.1029/2009JB006383). These results suggest that our new relation may represent a constitutive relation for an intensely sheared, saturated montmorillonite in frictional sliding. Our result also suggests that substantial cohesion may appear on some natural clay‐rich faults.
An Intersection of Oceanic Waveguides: Variability in the Indonesian Throughflow Region

Abstract Temperature and sea level variability within the Indonesian seas and southeast Indian Ocean are described based on expendable bathythermograph deployments along volunteer merchant shipping lines under way since 1983. These data resolve variability at time scales ranging from the intraseasonal to the interannual. A lagged partial regression technique reveals that anomalies from a mean seasonal cycle of temperature and sea level for seasonal to interannual time scales can be largely understood in terms of free Kelvin and Rossby waves generated by remote zonal winds along the equator of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, with local wind forcing appearing to play a minor role. About 60%–90% of sea level variability and 70% of thermocline temperature variability can be accounted for in this way. Variations in zonal Pacific equatorial winds force a response along the Arafura/ Australia shelf break through Pacific equatorial Rossby waves exciting coastally trapped waves off the western tip of New Guinea, wh.
Response of Three Barley Cultivars Hordeum vulgare L. to Water Stress Under Field Conditions

A field experiment was conducted in one of the agricultural fields located in the center of Hilla/Babylon, within latitude 32°31’ north and longitude 44°21’ east. During the season 2021-2022 in a soil with a loam silty texture. The aim of the study is to know the effect of water stress on the yield of green feed and grain and its components and the water use efficiency of the barley crop. A split-plot design with RCBD arrangement was used with three replicates. The irrigation treatments that include the comparison treatment (50% depletion of the available water) were occupied and three water depletion treatments (40, 60, 80%) of the amount of water for the control treatment, the main plot, while the cultivars occupied subplot No significant differences appeared between the control treatment and the irrigation treatment, 80% of the control treatment in the yield of green feed and grains, and thus it was possible to save water by 20% without a significant decrease from the control treatment. The irrigation treatments 80 and 60% showed higher efficiency in using water for grain production than the control treatment. The cultivars showed significant differences in yield, as Bohouth 244 gave the highest yield of feed and grain, and it did not differ significantly from cultivar IPA 99. Also, Bohouth 244 showed the best water use efficiency to produce a larger amount of grain, and it did not differ significantly from IPA 99.
The magnitude of maternal near-miss cases in public hospitals of Hadiya zone, southern Ethiopia

Reducing the maternal mortality ratio below 70 per 100,000 live births for all countries by the year 2030 is one of the targets of the UNs sustainable development goals. Hence, knowing the magnitude of maternal near-miss would tell us the scope of planning to accelerate the achievement of this target as women
Combining snow drift and SNOWPACK models to estimate snow loading in avalanche slopes

Snow drift is one of the major factors influencing avalanche activity in high Alpine terrain. This concerns catastrophic avalanches as well as regularly occurring touristic avalanches. When discussing the role of snow drift in avalanche formation, four physically connected processes have to be taken into account: the windfield over steep topography, the preferential deposition of snow during snowfall events, the possible redistribution of already deposited snow, and the different developments of the snow cover at sites of ablation and accumulation. This paper presents an integrated model approach for the estimation of snow loading in steep avalanche slopes. The assessment includes an atmospheric model analysis of the high resolution wind field over topography, a novel formulation of wind transport in saltation and suspension that allows one to treat preferential deposition and redistribution, and a distributed model assessment of the snow cover characteristics. The snow cover model is important to judge the erodability of the deposited snow and yields information on the status of the snowpack on the slope that is crucial for a final estimation of slope stability. Results are presented for a drift period in January 1999. A comparison with measurements shows good agreement. Over steep Alpine terrain (up to 50 deg), the model is able to simulate snow distribution and snow cover status with a reasonable computational effort. A discussion is given of future development toward an operational assessment of snow drift for the purpose of avalanche warning. The model is the first available tool to study the atmosphere-snow-vegetation interaction and the distribution of snow water equivalent in steep Alpine terrain.
Time-Series Analysis of a Catalog of UFO Events: Evidence of a Local-Sidereal-Time Modulation

Analysis of a large database may yield patterns that are not obvious by studying individual cases. We here carry out a time-series analysis of a selection of the 1999 version of the Hatch UFO catalog, comprising 12,100 events, for which geographical and temporal data are well established. We compare our results with those of earlier analyses by Poher and Vallee on smaller datasets, and confirm that the event rate exhibits a modulation related to local sidereal time (LST). Such a modulation could in principle be simply a spurious effect due to the combined influence of a strong time-of-day modulation, and an expected time-of-year modulation. However, we develop a test to distinguish such a spurious pattern from an intrinsic pattern. This test indicates that the LST modulation is intrinsic.
Residual Effect of Herbicides on the Succeeding Crop of Rice

The residual effects of herbicides applied in the second crop of 1971 on the infestation of weeds and the growth performance of rice in the first crop of 1972 are summarized. The treatments of 2,4-D IPE, Benthiocarb, and C-288+2,4-D IPE were infested with smaller number of weeds while those of CP 53619, Benthiocarb+2, 4-D IPE, and C-290+2,4-D IPE were more heavily infested. However, the correlation between average weed control rating in the second crop of 1971 and average number of weeds per m2 in the first crop of 1972 gave r value of -0.0389 which was too small to attain significance. This indicates that application of herbicides does not affect appreciably the infestation of weeds in the succeeding crop of rice. Plant height and number of tillers per hill at 60 days after transplanting, plant height and number of panicles per hill at maturity stage, days to heading, and grain yield per ha did not differ significantly among treatments. Thus, residues from the application of herbicides in the second crop of 1971 may not persist in amounts toxic to the growth of rice in the following first crop of 1972.
