The Determinants of Households' Adoptions of Solar Power in Bien Hoa City, Dong Nai Province, Vietnam

Solar power is becoming more and more popular around the world and Vietnam. This article applied the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) of Davis (1989) and in order to analyze the determinants affecting households’ adoptions of solar power in Bien Hoa city, Dong Nai province, Vietnam. The study used mixed methods with qualitative and quantitative analysis methods including group interviews, and surveys with questionnaire under 5-point Likert scale. The data was analyzed by SPSS software (Cronbach’s Alpha, EFA, correlation, regression). Results showed that the factors affecting the households’ willingness to use solar power involved (1) Perceived Usefulness; (2) State Policies; (3) Perceived Ease of Use; (4) Perceived Costs; (5) Household Trusts. These determinants helped the author propose policies for the government to promote solar power development.
Acceptance of Seasonal Influenza Vaccination by Healthcare Workers in Primary Health Care Workers Centers- Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Background: Seasonal influenza disturbs work fluency and jeopardizes patients’ safety. Influenza vaccination uptake among Healthcare Workers (HCWs) is suboptimal all over the globe. This study aimed to study the influenza vaccination acceptance and uptake among HCWs in Wazarat Health Care Center (WHC) at Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Method: Two hundred out of randomly selected 240 HCWs working at WHC-PSMMC, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were surveyed between May and June 2017. A validated 25-items self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The collected data included sociodemographic, work and health related data, and beliefs towards influenza and its vaccine. Scoring system was used for transformed categorical data. The mean scores, median and Interquartile (IQR) were estimated and compared. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to study the associations of the influenza vaccine uptake with those covariates. IBM® SPSS®16 Statistics software was used for data analysis. Ethical aspects including confidentiality, informed consent, and approval were carefully considered. Results: With a response rate of 83% to the survey, only 41% of the participants found have received the 2016 influenza vaccine. On univariate analysis gender, nationality, occupation, level of education, work nature, work experience, past infection, and previous vaccination were associated with vaccination uptake. The vaccinated HCWs were more likely to perceive themself susceptible to influenza and its complications and to perceive the influenza vaccine as safe and effective compared to unvaccinated HCWs. On Multivariate analysis, HCWs perceived influenza vaccine as beneficial, HCWs doing clinical works and non-Saudi HCWs were (Odd Ratio (OR):1.25 (95% Confidence Interval (CI); 1.10, 1.42) P=0.001), (OR: 2.83 (95% CI; 1.10, 7.28) P=0.03), and (OR: 3.81(95% CI; 1.24, 11.67) P=0.03) times more likely to vaccinate against influenza, respectively. Conclusion: Despite rigorous recommendation influenza vaccination uptake was suboptimal. Mandatory influenza vaccination policy may need to be adopted to achieve a vaccination coverage above 80% as recommended by the world health organization (WHO). This could be combined with interventions that address the associated factors to guarantee the maintenance of the desirable acceptance level and minimize the declination rate.

Extended Theory of Planned Behavior on Zhejiang Chinese Consumers' Organic Food Purchase Intention

This study aims to identify the factors that influence Chinese consumers' purchase intention of organic food, study their organic food buying behavior, and develop strategies to increase their organic food purchase intention. By using the extension of the Theory of Planned Behavior, the researcher can identify the factors of this study, which are attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and moral norms. The researcher collected 417 online survey data from consumers living in Zhejiang Province, China, who have organic food purchase intention. A non-probability sampling method, including convenience sampling and snowball sampling, was used in the sampling process. The analysis results by SPSS multiple regression indicated that all four independent variables influenced the dependent variable, purchase intention toward organic food. In response to the findings, the researcher suggests some critical recommendations for strategic development.
Experimental Aortic Fluid and Solute Transport Measurement System Independent Study

This paper details the design, development, and preliminary experimental results of a device capable of measuring diffusion through aortic wall samples over time to determine permeability. Initial sketches and 3D CAD designs provided proof of concept. Initial trials showed effective waterproofing of inner and outer drum design in conjunction with the specified O-ring. Overall, the system was effective in measuring the diffusion across aortic membranes, but improvements to materials as well as experimental procedure would produce more accurate experimental results.
anthropometric, physiological and performance profiles of elite and sub-elite Canoe slalom athletes

The purposes of this study were to determine the anthropometric, physiological and performance characteristics of elite and sub-elite canoe slalom athletes and to determine the relationship between these characteristics and performance in selection races for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro 2016. Eighteen male single-canoe (C1) slalom athletes (20.9±5.1yr) performed a battery of tests including anthropometric parameters and somatotypes, upper-body anaerobic power (Wingate test), maximal muscular strength (bench-press, bench-pull, handgrip dynamometry), aerobic power (treadmill running test), and specific on-water tests (40m and 200m sprints with spins). Additionally, Spearman’s correlation were conducted and multiple regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between the results of on-water tests and the final race rankings. Canoe slalom athletes were 180.6±4.1cm tall and 74.4±4.6kg with an ectomorphic mesomorph somatotype (1.6-4.9-2.8). They are further characterized by a treadmill VO2max of 62.7±3.0ml∙kg∙min-1 and high values of anaerobic upper-body peak power (9.4±1.1W∙kg-1) and mean power (7.4±0.7W∙kg1). Their bench-press 1 repetition maximum (1RM) was 95±15kg, bench-pull 1RM was 93±9.5kg, and handgrip strength was 49.3±7.5kg. Race performance was significantly correlated (p<0.01) with bench-press 1RM (rs=0.60), normalized upper-body peak and mean anaerobic power (rs=0.57), and on-water tests (rs=0.62 to 0.85). By multiple regression analysis, it was possible to predict race ranking based on water performance tests (R2=0.78; SEE=2.75). The results of this study can assist coaches, and trainers in racionalization of training programmes for canoe slalom athletes.
THE ROLE OF REPORTING INSTITUTIONS AND IMAGE MOTIVATION IN TAX EVASION AND INCIDENCE

We investigate effects of tax reporting mechanisms on evasion and incidence in experimental double auction markets where counterfactual reporting and market outcomes can be studied after convergence. There are two control conditions: (i) markets without taxes and (ii) markets where taxes are automatically levied. These are compared to (iii) markets with seller-reporting only and fines paid if low-probability audit discovers evasion, to (iv) markets with both sellerand buyer-reporting and a higher audit probability due to any gap in the numbers reported by the seller and her customers, and to (v) markets where, in addition, buyer-reporting is costly. The latter two mimic varying reporting incentives in the so called third-party reporting in tax enforcement. We find that 20% of the sellers are truthful when only sellers report, but that 80% and 66% of them are truthful under costless and costly third-party reporting, respectively. Pricing, incidence, and reporting patterns in all treatments can be explained by a model of lying costs with image concerns based on Gneezy et al. (2018). JEL Codes: H21, H22, H26, D40, D44, D91
Time Will Tell

This book is about time and synchrony and the roles these constructs play in our everyday encounters with events in our world. It focuses on auditory events in music and speech with the aim of demonstrating the potential of concepts such as entrainment and resonance for explaining how we interact, in real time, with these events. The book is divided into two parts. Part I is devoted to introducing basic theoretical concepts such as entrainment and resonance as they apply to rhythmical properties of fast and slow environmental events. Part II applies these concepts to events in music and speech. An overarching theme holds that similar dynamic attending concepts underlie the way we attend to and perceive communicative time patterns in domains of music and speech.
Successful Endovascular Treatment of Inadvertent Subclavian Artery Cannulation in a Patient with Multiple Sclerosis and Coagulopathy in Two Simple Steps

The subclavian vein is the most frequently chosen site for central venous catheter insertion because of the low infection rate compared with the rate associated with the jugular and femoral veins, especially for immunocompromised patients. However, inadvertent subclavian artery cannulation could lead to life-threatening complications. The treatment choice includes surgical repair, endovascular therapy, or combined methods. The treatment choice is limited in patients with coagulopathy. We report the successful endovascular treatment of inadvertent subclavian artery cannulation in a patient with multiple sclerosis and subsequent coagulopathy after pneumonia and sepsis.
Mobile Payments from Merchants’ Perspective: An Empirical Study Using the TAM Model in Saudi Arabia

Summary This study aims to examine the factors that affect the intention of merchants to adopt mobile payments in Saudi Arabia. The underlying model used in the study is the technology acceptance model, which includes two factors: perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The effects of trust, cost, and compatibility are also examined because these are among the common factors used based on the literature. An online questionnaire was completed by 242 merchants in Saudi Arabia who had already adopted mobile payment services. A significant relationship was identified between perceived usefulness and compatibility in terms of merchants’ intention to adopt mobile payment systems, while an insignificant relationship was identified with perceived ease of use, trust, and cost.
Performance Analysis of MIMO using Machine Learning in 5G Networks

— Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-output (MIMO) is a high-potential radio antenna technology for mobile wireless networks, such as 5 th Generation (5G). The use of hybrid analog and digital precoding to minimize the energy consumption as well as the hardware complexity of mixed signal components is an essential strategy. Machine Learning (ML) could be able to boost 5G technologies due to the rising difficulty of configuring cellular networks. More than ever, an ML computational framework focused on successfully processing the expected huge data generated normally by 5G networks with high subscriber cell density, is required. In the Ultra-Dense Networks (UDNs) of 5G and beyond high demanding networks paired with beamforming and massive MIMO technologies, ML struggles to define network traffic aspects distinctively, especially when they are projected to be much more dynamic and complicated. This paper presents a state-of-the-art analysis of the combined and multiple uses of ML along with MIMO technology in 5G Networks.

Barite formation in the ocean: Origin of amorphous and crystalline precipitates

Ocean export production is a key constituent in the global carbon cycle impacting climate. Past ocean export production is commonly estimated by means of barite and Barium proxies. However, the precise mechanisms underlying barite precipitation in the undersaturated marine water column are not fully understood. Here we present a detailed mineralogical and crystallographic analysis of barite from size-fractionated particulate material collected using multiple unit large volume in-situ filtration systems in the North Atlantic and the Southern Ocean. Our data suggest that marine barite forms from an initial amorphous phosphorus-rich phase that binds Ba, which evolves into barite crystals whereby phosphate groups are substituted by sulfate. Scanning electron microscopy observations also show the association of barite particles with organic matter aggregates and with extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). These results are consistent with experimental work showing that in bacterial biofilms Ba binds to phosphate groups in both cells and EPS, which promotes locally high concentrations of Ba leading to saturated microenvironments favoring barite precipitation. These results strongly suggest a similar precipitation mechanism in the ocean, which is consistent with the close link between bacterial production and abundance of Ba-rich particulates in the water column. We argue that EPS play a major role in mediating barite formation in the undersaturated oceanic water column; specifically, increased productivity and organic matter degradation in the mesopelagic zone would entail more extensive EPS production, thereby promoting Ba bioaccumulation and appropriate microenvironments for barite precipitation. This observation contributes toward better understanding of Ba proxies and their utility for reconstructing past ocean export productivity.

Evaluation of the Ef ﬁ cacy of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is increasingly used in breast cancer, especially for downstaging the primary tumor in the breast and the metastatic axillary lymph node. Accurate evaluations of the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy provide important information on the impact of systemic therapies on breast cancer biology, prognosis, and guidance for further therapy. Moreover, pathologic complete response is a validated and valuable surrogate prognostic factor of survival after therapy. Evaluations of neoadjuvant chemotherapy response are very important in clinical work and basic research. In this review, we will elaborate on evaluations of the ef ﬁ cacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer and provide a clinical evaluation procedure for neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Human Alloimmune Responses Proliferating T Lymphocyte Population in CD30 Expression Identifies the Predominant

CD30 is an inducible member of the TNFR superfamily that is expressed on activated T and B cells and some lymphoid malignancies. We have previously shown that human CD30 (cid:1) T cells elicited with allogeneic APC are a major source of IFN- (cid:2) and IL-5 production. In the present study we have used alloantigen, as well as anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 mAb stimulation, to further characterize human CD30 (cid:1) T cells with respect to function and the expression of other activation-dependent cell surface molecules, including the related TNFR family members OX-40 and 4-1BB (CD137). Our results indicate that human CD30 (cid:1) T cells are a subset of activated T cells that also express CD25 and CD45RO. Moreover, we observed that allogeneic APC consistently induced a greater proportion of CD30 (cid:1) cells within the activated T cell population than did stimulation with plate-bound anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 mAb or stimulation with soluble anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 and autologous APC. The enhanced induction of CD30 expression by alloantigen was not common to other inducible TNFR family members because anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 mAbs were far more effective in inducing expression of 4-1BB and OX-40. Furthermore, CD30 expression marked the predominant proliferating T cell population induced by alloantigen as determined by CFSE staining and ﬂow cytometry. These results indicate that CD30, but not 4-1BB or OX-40, is preferentially induced by alloantigen, suggesting that CD30 may be important in human alloimmune responses.

Rotational stability of a new multicomponent intraocular lens

Purpose: To evaluate the rotational stability of the Precisight multicomponent intraocular lens (MCIOL) following primary implantation and after enhancement procedures. Patients and methods: Prospective, single-center study of eyes that underwent routine cataract surgery with implantation of a non-toric MCIOL, (Precisight, In ﬁ niteVision, Optics, Strasbourg, France). The axis of the MCIOL was measured with a line bisecting the two dialing holes in the front lens. Intraoperative orientation was determined using a digital surgical guidance system while the postoperative orientation was determined using slit-lamp imaging. Two populations were analyzed: eyes that only underwent cataract surgery (PRIM) and eyes that also underwent enhancement (ENH), consisting of surgical front optic exchange. Both populations had 3 observation visits: ﬁ rst implantation (P-Op); 3 months (3mo) and 6 months (6mo) after primary surgery. The ENH group had an additional fourth visit that corresponded to the enhancement surgery (E-Op). The main outcome measure was mean absolute change in MCIOL orientation (degrees). The effects of axial length (AL) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) on IOL rotational stability were examined. Results: Thirty-three eyes received MCIOL of which 29 had usable orientation images. Of these, 12 were in the PRIM group and 17 underwent ENH. Regarding the mean absolute rotation, among PRIM eyes, P-Op to 3mo was 3.03±2.45 degrees; P-Op to 6mo, 2.28±1.54 degrees; and 3 – 6mo, 2.37±1.56 degrees. Among the ENH eyes, P-Op to 3mo was 3.09±1.68; E-Op to 6mo, 2.71±3.30 and P-Op to 6mo, 3.62±3.42. There were no signi ﬁ cant differences in the IOL rotation. There were no statistical differences in rotational stability between the ENH and PRIM groups. There was no correlation between IOL rotation and AL or ACD. Conclusion: Precisight appears to be rotationally stable. The enhancement procedure does not affect rotational stability.
Expression levels of p18 INK4C modify the cellular efficacy of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors via regulation of Mcl-1 expression in tumor cell lines

Because cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) play a pivotal role in cancer progression, the development of CDK inhibitors has attracted attention in antitumor therapy. However, despite significant preclinical and clinical developments, CDK inhibition biomarkers for predicting efficacy against certain cancers in individual patients have not been identified. Here, we characterized a macrocyclic quinoxalin-2-one CDK inhibitor, compound A, and identified a gene biomarker for predicting its efficacy. Compound A showed 100-fold selectivity for CDK family proteins over other kinases and inhibited both E2F transcriptional activity and RNA polymerase II phosphorylation. Compound A treatment resulted in decreased proliferation in various tumor cell lines; however, the apoptosis induction rate differed significantly among the cell lines examined, which was consistent with roscovitine. By comparing the mRNA expression profiles of sensitive and resistant cell lines, we found that expression levels of an endogenous CDK inhibitor, p18 INK4C , showed a strong negative correlation to the sensitivity. In fact, p18 status was correlated with the response to CDK inhibitor in an independent data set of multiple myeloma cell lines and silencing p18 expression increased the susceptibility of resistant cells to CDK inhibitors. The analysis of molecular mechanisms revealed that cells with lowered p18 had aberrant CDK6 and E2F activities, which resulted in a transcriptional down-regulation of Mcl-1, a key molecule associated with flavopiridol-induced apoptosis, thereby leading to susceptibility to therapeutic intervention with CDK inhibitors. These results identified a molecular basis for CDK inhibitors to exert an antitumor effect in p18-deficient cancers and support the clinical use of CDK inhibitors. Cancer Ther 2009;8(6): 72]
