The Millennial Generation Purchase Intention Toward Green Residential Building

Millennial homebuyers are influenced by a number of internal and external factors in their decision to buy a green residential building. Empirical findings from previous studies indicate that environmental knowledge and attitudes affect consumer behavioral intention in purchasing environmentally-friendly products. Thus, this study aimed at finding out whether the millennial generation‘s environmental knowledge influences their purchase intentions mediated by attitudes toward green residential buildings. A quantitative approach was employed using survey design by distributing questionnaires to 250 prospective millennial generation buyers residing in Surabaya and Malang. It was found that environmental knowledge positively shared with attitude influences the purchase intention of a green building. Furthermore, the results of the analysis show that attitude is a partial mediating factor of environmental knowledge. Overall, this study provides empirical evidence that attitude toward green residential buildings had less effect on millennial generation compared to environmental knowledge on purchase intention. This demonstrates that the millennial generation has not gained positive benefits from a green residential building.
Systemic Steroids, Clarithromycin and Metronidazole in the Trea tment of Rosacea during Pregnancy

Rosacea is a common skin disease with a predilection for the face. Patients suffer from symptoms like flushing, redness of the face, telangiectasia, pustules, or papules. A more acute form is rosacea fulminans that occurs preferentially in women. Hormonal fluctuations as during a pregnancy can aggravate existent rosacea. The case of a female patient is presented, who was in the 26th week of her pregnancy. She discontinued her usual rosacea medication when she became pregnant. The patient developed rosacea fulminans, which was treated with systemic corticosteroids as recommended. She responded well to clarithromycin 250 mg for three times a week in combination with topical treatment using metronidazole 0.75% creme, continuing this regimen until a stable result was obtained. Based on the observations in this case study the therapy of rosacea fulminans with clarithromycin can help to reduce the symptoms, especially since treatment with systemic isotretinoin and doxycycline is contraindicated during pregnancy.
METHODS OF METOPROLOL ANALYSIS IN DRUGS AND BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS: REVIEW AND SUGGESTIONS

Background. Analytical method is increasingly implemented into fundamental pharmaceutical chemistry and analysis, considering their high sensitivity, accuracy, specificity and expressiveness. Objective. Metoprolol’s analytical method development was the research goal. Methods. The sources were world recognized journals (1990-2019) and key words used as filter were “metoprolol”, “spectrophotometry” “high-performance liquid chromatography, HPLC”, “quantitative analysis”, “validation”. Results. Chromatographic methods of analysis have the highest specificity and objectivity and allow qualitative and quantitative determination of Active Pharmaceutic Ingredient (API) in combined dosage forms and biological fluids without prior components separation. The main disadvantage of the described API analysis methods is long terms from the beginning of chromatography to API release and specific solvents used as the mobile phase in HPLC. New methods development and selection such chromatographic conditions that provide high speed and high efficiency at lower pressure of the system are essential. Also, the reduction of analysis time is achieved by simplifying the conditions for sample preparation. Conclusions. Analysts are constantly working on developing new analysis methods and their optimization in order to save time and consumables, which also ensures the efficiency of the developed method. There is no monograph on the substance or dosage forms of metoprolol in SPhU. Therefore, some of the developed methods should be suggested for the SPhU monograph, which is important for ensuring pharmacopoeial quality control of medicines in Ukraine.

The study concluded thatregular board meetings and board independenceplay significant roles in timely decision makingsthat affect the overall firm’s objective. Hence,the study recommended a regular boardmeetings and board independence that will beefficient in taking vital decisions that affect thefirm’s overall performance.
The effect of different funding partners on exit strategies.

Past research shows low consistency on outcome of exit strategies for new ventures and different types of funding relationships. Also; the funding landscape is changing rapidly and the call for applicable theory grows. Which funding relationship should the entrepreneur consider in getting the most favorable exit strategy? The author postulates that the underlying institutional logics of the corporate funding partner inhibit the new venture in getting a speedy and desired exit strategy for the founding entrepreneur. Drawing on a sample of 728 US located new firms, results of a quantitative analysis reveal that the combination of Corporate Venture Capital and Independent Venture Capital funding negatively relates to getting an exit strategy.
Anti-proliferative and Apoptotic Effects of Basella rubra (Lin.) Against 1,2-DMH-induced Colon Carcinogenesis in Rats

Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer and it is a prime cause of morbidity and mortality in worldwide (Gellad et al., 2010; American Cancer Society, 2014). The occurrence of colorectal cancer is alarmingly increasing in Asian countries (Kirati et al., 2015). According to the epidemiological survey12 million cancer cases were diagnosed so far, among those 7 million deaths occurred worldwide and these would be doubled by the end of the year 2030 (Burali Sanganna et al., 2013). The etiological factors for colon cancer development include both environmental and genetic factors (Juozas et al., 2014). Humans exposed to hydrazine derivatives through environmental pollution and food contamination in day to day life (Ratasark et al., 2014). 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) is an environment pollutant and eminent experimental model to study the pathogenesis of colon
Shear Bond Strength of Composite Repair Material to Ceramo-metallic and zirconium Restorations Using A New Adhesive System

Introduction: success of ceramic repair system is dependent on integrity of bond between ceramic and resin composite. Aim: evaluate shear bond strength (SBS) of composite repair material to ceramo-metallic and zirconium restorations using new adhesive system after thermocycling. Materials and methods: 28 square specimens of metal , zirconia , veneering porcelain for metal (VMK95) and veneering porcelain for zirconia (VM9) were prepared (1 x 1 x 0.5 cm) and divided into 4 groups: 1)metal (M) group , 2)zirconia (Z) group , 3)veneering porcelain for metal (VPM) group , 4)veneering porcelain for zirconia(VPZ) group). Then M and Z groups were sandblasted while VPM and VPZ groups were subjected to HF acid. Single bond universal adhesive were applied to exposed surface of all groups then repair composite material was built up incrementally over center of exposed surface using cylindrical teflon mold ( 3 x 5 mm), stored for 7 days in distilled water followed by 1000 thermocycles then SBS was tested. Results: Highest SBS value between composite repair material and M group followed by Z group and composite repair material then VPM group and composite repair material then VPZ group and composite repair material. Conclusions: Sandblasting and application of single bond universal adhesive containing MDP can be recommended for repair metal and zirconium surfaces with composite material. HF acid etching and application of single bond universal adhesive containing MDP can be recommended for repair VPM and VPZ with composite repair material. Keywords: single bond universal adhesive, veneering porcelain, zirconia
Removal of Metanil Yellow by Batch Biosorption from Aqueous Phase on Egg Membrane: Equilibrium and Isotherm Studies

The biosorption of metanil yellow on hen egg membrane from aqueous solution in a batch process was investigated at 29oC with a view to determine the potential of the membrane in removing metanil yellow from aqueous solution. The effects of contact time, initial biosorbate concentration, biosorbent dosage and initial biosorbate pH were determined. Various isotherm models were used to analyze experimental data. The highest experimental equilibrium biosorption capacity obtained was 129.88 mg/g. The optimum pH was 3. Adsorption capacity increased with increase in initial solution concentration but decreased with increase in time. The isotherm models applied were good fits based on correlation coefficients. Flory-Huggins isotherm was the best fit (R2 0.986). The biosorption was endothermic, good, physisorptive and spontaneous. This work shows that hen egg membrane is a potential biosorbent for the removal of metanil yellow from aqueous solution.
Collaborative, co-operative and collective business models in the ‘new’ music industries: a literature review

This literature review takes as its starting point that the challenge facing the music industries – an example of what Christensen and Raynor (2003) call ‘disruptive innovation’ – is primarily one of business models, rather than technology. After all, the shift to MP3 has surely had a far more profound impact than that to cassette or CD. Rather than attempting to cover all aspects of the music industries, I limit my focus to the effects of digital technologies on musicians themselves, specifically in terms of recordings, and their responses in terms of business models – in particular, models that could be seen as somewhere between the traditional label and the fully DIY approach. In reviewing the literature on collaborative, co-operative and collective business models, I aim to identify and define key terms; to cite the various collective, co-operative and collaborative models in the music industries that have been cited by journalists; to analyse their underlying business models as far as possible; and to define the parameters of future research.
Company’s Supply Chain Strategy in Internal Factors to Predict Capital Structure and Profitability on Manufacturing Sector

Abstract - Supply chain is crucial in the current highly competitive and fast-changing business environment, in which the optimisation of all resources matters, creating an ef? cient. Capital structure based on the supply chain strategy is one of the important decisions for financial managers who are able to describe the overall cost of capital and have an impact on increasing the profitability of the company. The aim of this research was (1) to analyze the influence of internal factors including company size and tangibility on capital structure and profitability and (2) to analyze the influence of internal advertising factors on profitability. This study’s samples were 117 manufacturing companies in Indonesia Stock Exchange for period 2010-2016. The data were analyzed by using path analysis with SmartPLS 3.0. The results of the research stated that firm size had a significant effect on capital structure and profitability, tangibility did not have a significant effect on capital structure but had a significant effect on profitability. Meanwhile, advertising did not have a significant effect on profitability. Furthermore, there is a positive influence between capital structure and profitability. This result is in accordance with signalling theory which states that the addition of corporate debt supported by the achievement of high corporate profits will be a positive signal for investors.
The Populist Radical Right in the US: New Media and the 2018 Arizona Senate Primary

This article analyzes the appeal of populist radical right (PRR) politics in the US after the election of Donald Trump. Specifically, I seek to explain how new media helps politicians representing the PRR secure support in Republican primaries. Using an online survey of 1052 Arizona Republicans in the lead-up to the August 2018 Senate primary, I evaluate support for three candidates: Rep. Martha McSally, former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and Kelli Ward, a physician. The findings highlight a bifurcation in the drivers for support of PRR candidacies: Skepticism of immigration drives the Arpaio vote, while use of social media news and belief in party convergence mobilize Ward’s support. The results demonstrate that support for PRR politicians in the Arizona primary is concentrated in two groups, anti-immigrant and anti-establishment, and that the anti-establishment voters are more likely to access news on social media. These findings indicate that social media news consumption does shape voter perceptions about mainstream parties favorably for the PRR.
The Influence Of Dividend Policy, Investment Opportunity And Capital Adequacy To Firm Value: Evidence In Indonesia Banking Companies

Dividend Policy is a policy of the company's management in determining the profit available to shareholders in the form of dividends or profits needed to finance future investments. There is a lot to consider regarding how dividend policy affects the value of the company. According to the bird in the hand theory, shareholders prefer high dividends compared to dividends that will be distributed in the future, because high dividends will increase the value of the company. the results of the study using the PLS-SEM analysis tool with the WarpPLS 5.0 application show that dividend policy has a negative effect on firm value with a coefficient value of -0.172. This is consistent with the first view that dividend policy does not affect the value of the company that is supported by the theory of dividend irrelevance.
Motivating Students to Learn Chemistry by Programmed Instruction: The case of Kenyan Secondary Schools

This study investigated how students‟ motivation in Chemistry is affected through the use of Programmed Instruction in abstract topics. The research location was Butere sub-county, Kakamega County, Kenya. Quasiexperimental research design was used to implement the study, using Solomon four-group as a model. A group of 300 form two students, who were purposively sampled from a target population of 841 students, was used. Those who were assigned into experimental groups received their instruction using Programmed Learning Software, while their counterparts in control groups were taught conventionally. Focus was on the topic “structure of the atom and the periodic table” because it is abstract in nature and many students perform dismally in it during national examinations. The Students‟ Motivational Level Determination Questionnaire (SMLDQ) was designed by the researcher and assessed for its validity and reliability, then used to collect raw data, which was analyzed both descriptively (using mean and standard deviation) and inferentially using one-way ANOVA at α=0.05. Results revealed that Programmed Instruction was superior to the conventional approaches because the sampled students‟ pre-test motivation scores were statistically similar (ME2=56.8, SD=14.2, MC1=53.7, SD=14.8, t(299)=-4.13, p=. 272] but significantly different in the post-test, in favour of the experimental groups [ME1=66.8, SD=11.9, ME2=66.8, SD=13.8, MC1=56.0, SD=16.3, MC2=56.3, SD=14.9, F(3,296)=15.8, p<. 001]. These findings have instructional implications in science education.
Deadly Variation: The Effect of Temperature Variability on Mortality

In addition to increasing mean temperatures, global warming can also affect the variability of temperatures. This is the first paper to estimate the causal effect of temperature variability on mortality. Using monthly state level data for the US in the period 1969-2004, I offer three main results: (1) Increased monthly temperature variability causes increased mortality, (2) omitting the effect of temperature variability on mortality can severely bias our predictions on the number of temperature-induced fatalities caused by global warming, and (3) adaptation to increased temperature variability is more difficult than adaptation to increased mean temperatures.
Neutral Models of Sound Change

A fundamental question regarding language is whether it has evolved through adaptation (Pinker & Bloom, 1990, Jackendoff & Pinker, 2005, Pinker & Jackendoff, 2005) or is a byproduct of a single genetic mutation (Hauser et al., 2002, Fitch et al., 2005, Chomsky & Berwick, 2015). The analogy between language evolution and biological evolution goes back to Darwin and has been applied frequently to this domain, in particular as an explanation of language change (e.g. Yang, 2000, Niyogi & Berwick, 2009). However, while there have been many attempts to build evolutionary models that model language change in terms of selection, fewer attempts have been made to formalize neutral models of evolution (cf. Baxter et al., 2009, Kauhanen, 2017, Newberry et al., 2017). In this work, I address the question of whether sound change is better explained in terms of adaptation for communication purposes or in terms of stochastic processes. The starting points of my dissertation are the last three chapters of Labov (1994), where functionalist explanations of sound change are ruled out on the basis of empirical investigations: as the Neogrammarians put it, sound change is essentially a mechanical and phonetically determined process. The need to write a dissertation on a scientific debate which appeared settled after Labov’s contributions arises after the emergence of a new ‘functionalist’ wave, inspired by information theory and by mixed-effect regression models. The recent works of Piantadosi et al. (2011), Kaplan (2011), Cohen Priva (2012), Graff (2012), Wedel et al. (2013), Bouchard-Côté et al. (2013), Dautriche et al. (2017), and Mahowald et al. (2018) provide arguments in favor of functional pressures on language change, which in some cases (Sóskuthy, 2013, Cohen Priva, 2017) are presented as solutions to the actuation problem in Weinreich et al. (1968). Two parallel strategies will be adopted to address this question. On the one hand, I will use historical data in every circumstance in which they are needed to determine the behavior of a model of sound change and to test the predictions of existing models. On the

Social, health and lifestyle predictors of sleep during pregnancy

The aim of this thesis was to strengthen understanding of self-reported sleep in pregnancy by drawing together evidence from: previously published research; de novo analyses of existing and novel datasets; and the lived experience of pregnant women themselves. This mixed- methods approach found that: a lack of standardisation and potential flaws in the design of previous studies do not yet permit a formal meta-analysis to be performed; and previous findings remain vulnerable to error and publication bias. The three de novo quantitative analyses of self-reported sleep conducted for this thesis sought to address many of the flaws in previous research. These analyses indicate that: several pre- existing/pre-pregnant sociodemographic and health characteristics contribute to the less favourable sleep commonly reported by pregnant women (as compared to age-matched non- pregnant women); and that variation in these and (un)related lifestyle and behavioural factors during pregnancy also contribute to variation in self-reported sleep amongst pregnant women. However, the last of these analyses provides evidence that variation in a commonly experienced phenomenon (glucose intolerance and, at its extreme, gestational diabetes) is associated with less favourable sleep in what appears to be a dose-response relationship. Analysis of posts to web-based forums by women with first-hand experience of sleep in pregnancy confirm that pregnancy-specific somatic changes were experienced/understood to be the principal causes of less favourable sleep; although the advice offered to others facing similar problems tended to focus on behavioural and situational factors as suitable avenues for intervention. On the basis of this evidence, it is clear that none of the self-administered sleep instruments/items available, and used, to-date are capable of comprehensively assessing the sleep of pregnant women. Future research must develop/use a dedicated sleep instrument to improve our understanding of the range, prevalence and likely determinants of the less favourable sleep more commonly reported by pregnant women.
The Nonlinear Effect of Debt on Firm Performance: The Evidence from Indonesia

This research posits the nonlinearity model of capital structure in Indonesia by examining the rate of debt acquisition and its effect on firms’ performance. It uses the total debt and earnings after tax (EAT) as proxies of firms' performance from a sample of 2,064 as listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) from 1999 to 2018. To analyse the nonlinear effect, it uses the polynomial regression analysis. The results established the positive quadratic impact of debt on firms’ performance which predicts that increasing debt will trigger such high performance. It is conceived that increasing debt use in financing decisions will cause the company performance to go down in the future. This research provides a new perspective to the field of capital structure theory, especially to the classical trade-off theory. For future research, introducing other proxies in gauging firms’ performance may strengthen the validity of this study. It should also explain and elaborate on the nexus between debt increment and positive quadratic effect on firms’ performance, and also provide solutions to practical issues in the economy.
