MY EYES FOLLOW MY NEEDS: ATTENTIONAL BIASES TOWARDS PRODUCT LABELS WITHIN HIGH-AND LOW-SOCIAL-STATUS GROUPS

The relationship between social status and consumption behavior has consistently drawn attention in consumption research. Previous studies have explored the relationship between social status and consumer behavior from behavioral perspective. However, less study has explored this relationship from the viewpoint of the cognitive process to date. Therefore, two experiments were performed to explore whether highor low-social-status affects the cognitive process of consumption. We sorted products to be labeled as hedonic or utilitarian products based on spiritual needs and utilitarian needs, respectively. Study 1 demonstrates that, within low-social-status groups, attention is biased toward hedonic over utilitarian products, whereas, for high-social-status groups, this difference does not occur. Study 2 provides evidence that there is no difference in the attention bias between the two kinds of product under the condition of a non-status start-up. The results suggest that within highand low-social-status groups, early cognitive processing is tuned toward different attributive products, which then influences consumer behavior. This study explored the relationship between social status and consumption behavior from the cognitive process perspective, which will help in further revealing the relationship between human needs and social status from an evolutionary perspective.
Effects of Mobile Phone Usage Behavior and Mobile Phone Addiction among Youth

Mobile phone offers several benefits which ease community socializing and communication process. Moreover, mobile phone assists them in information and entertainment seeking process while at the same time act as safety tool during emergency situation. Nevertheless, albeit benefit offered, mobile phone has created problem to the community particularly to the young one whereby addiction is most obvious one. Such social issue however, seems to attract less internet from the scholars, which eventually lead to lack of understanding on this issue. Consequently, in addiction to this, the present research aims to investigate one of the significant areas of mobile phone usage to analyze the psychological context and the relationships for young users between mobile phone addiction and mobile phone usage. Based on this problems, this study was conducted to determine the level of mobile phone usage among youths; and to find out the level of the mobile phone addiction among youths. The research was carried out on 400 youths in Klang Valley using the survey method. The finding concludes that youths mobile phone usage behavior and addiction in moderate level. A serious attention must give to this issue before the youths addicted highly. All the responsible parties such as parents, educators and policy makers must work together to combat the negative impact of mobile phone addiction.
Comparative Biology and Reproductive Performances of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) Populations Across India

Background: Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is an important biotic constraint to major grain legumes in India. Biological characterization of any pest species is critical for making effective management decisions. Thus, this study comprehensively presents the biological and reproductive demographic traits of different geographic populations of H. armigera across the country. Methods: In this field-laboratory investigation (2015-18), populations from 20 localities were evaluated for developmental period of all the life stages, survival and reproduction and growth and fitness indices. All these parameters were recorded from the maintained insect cultures of each location from second filial (F2) generation.Result: The mean developmental periods of the immature stages, as well as adult longevity, were found to be longest in the Cooch Behar population. In contrast, the populations from South Zone took significantly shorter duration over others to complete their life cycle. All the populations were found to be female-biased, but significant differences were observed for reproductive competence of female moths. Wide variations were also observed in the relative growth and fitness indices, with the highest recorded from Varanasi population. Cluster analysis differentiated studied populations into two distinct groups. Such variations seem to be due to probable genetic heterogeneity in H. armigera populations of India.
Vegetable and Nut Food Groups are Inversely Associated with Hearing Loss- a Cross-sectional Study from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

24, 2020 ABSTRACT Objectives: A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the associations between food groups and hearing loss. Methods: Data of 1,312 individuals were used from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013. Hearing loss was determined with a pure tone average (PTA) of greater than 25 dB in either ear. The PTA was measured as the average hearing threshold at speech frequencies of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz. The dietary intake was examined with a food frequency questionnaire with 112 food items. The food items were classified into 25 food groups. A weighted logistic regression was used to investigate the association. Results: Individuals in the highest tertile of vegetables and nuts food groups were less likely to have hearing loss than those in the lowest tertile [Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.58 (95% Confidence interval (CI) 0.38-0.91), P = 0.019; OR = 0.59 (95% CI 0.39-0.90), P = 0.020, respectively], after adjusting for confounding variables of age, sex, body mass index, drinking, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and physical activity. Conclusions: In this cross-sectional study, we observed that high intake of vegetables and nuts food groups revealed significant inverse associations with hearing loss, after adjusting for confounding variables among

Deep Next Generation Sequencing Identifies Somatic Mutational Signature in Egyptian Colorectal Cancer Patients

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is progressively increasing in Egypt. Unfortunately, there is inadequate knowledge of the acquired somatic mutations in Egyptian CRC patients which limit our understanding of its progression. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to sequence multiple-gene panel to identify the somatic mutation pattern associated with CRC disease progression in a cohort of Egyptian patients. Custom 72 genes, which are frequently associated with CRC, were sequenced using Qiaseq UMI-based targeted DNA panel in 120 fresh tissues classified into; inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; n=20), colonic polyp (CP; n=38) and CRC (n=62) as well as 20 biopsies with non-specific colitis served as a control group (n=20). Results: Using Ingenuity Variant Analysis (IVA), we revealed that APC, TP53 & ATM genes harbored the highly frequent CRC-specific somatic mutations (15, 11 & 6, respectively). We also identified common somatic mutations (predictors) that were associated with disease progression from colitis to CRC; APC (c.1742delA (65%)), TP53 (c.121delG (58%), c.215C>G (52%)), ATM (c.640delT (16%)), IGF2 (c.677delG (56%)), RET (c.2071G>A (37%)), ACVR2A (c.1310delA (26%)), PIK3CA (c.1173A>G (16%)) & KIT (c.1621A>C (13%)). Furthermore, pathway analysis using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) showed that Wnt/βcatenin, ATM signaling, RTK-RAS and TGF-β were the most altered pathways in the CRC group (73%. 72%, 40% & 36%, respectively). Conclusion: In this data set, we shed the light on the most frequent somatic mutations and the most altered pathways that are crucial for understanding colorectal cancer predisposition and developing personalized therapies for the Egyptian CRC patients.

From the study, it was concluded that workers require a high degree of autonomy and independence on their jobs to perform more efficiently and effectively in order to improve their performance. It was recommended amongst others that organization should provide a flexible job design and structure as well as interpersonal relationship for its employees’ so as to enable them to better perform on the task and create organizational citizen behavior among the employees.
PSYCHOSOCIAL DYNAMICS OF LGBT YOUTH AFTER GLOBAL POLITICAL EQUALITY IN PORTUGAL

Uncovering the psychosocial dynamics of LGBT youth after global political equality in Portugal is the primary goal of this study. With qualitative research methodology, this study used purposive sampling techniques to recruit a final sample of 29 LGBT youth from 16 to 27 years of age. The methodological bases for this study was the identification of sources of oppression and the interpretation of content related to what it means to be young and nonheterosexual or transgender. Nine overarching themes (categories) encompassing 22 subcategories were reveled: Discrimination, Coming-out Issues, Values, Lack of Social Openness, Political Environment, Mental Health, Support System, Dating and Relationships, and Societal Characteristics. Despite global political equality, it is consistently documented the presence of high levels of perceived discrimination against LGBT youth in Portugal, indicating the need for further studies and social/political measures that really eradicate homophobia and transphobia from Portuguese society.
Sleep Disorders Among Undergraduate Health Students in Bristol, United Kingdom

Daytime Sleepiness and poor sleep quality are common among medical students. The objective of study is to determine the prevalence of daytime sleepiness and sleep quality and associated risk factors among medical students in medical college, in Bristol, United Kingdom. It was a cross-sectional study and 153 medical students were selected through stratified random sampling techniques. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess the sleep pattern and Epworth Sleepiness Scale was used to measure daytime sleepiness. Association of sleep quality and daytime sleepiness and its risk factors were determined through regression analysis. Students suffering from severe disorder of sleep quality was 21.6% and severe daytime sleepiness 3.9%. In multivariate analysis after adjustment of covariates, in daytime sleepiness, male gender (OR.1.33, CI 1.06-3.04) [p-value 0.040] and those students who smoke cigarettes [OR 4.65, (CI 1.48-5.14) [p-value 0.018] were more likely associated with severe daytime sleepiness disorder. In Sleep quality disorder, those students who had low academic score [OR 3.13(CI 1.28-4.87) [p-value 0.035] and those students who smoke cigarettes [OR 3.04 (CI 2.34-4.29) [p-value 0.010] were more than likely associated with severe sleep quality disorder. Majority of students suffered from poor sleep quality and day time sleepiness. Male gender, smoking, academic score and academic years was the major predictor for poor sleep quality and day time sleepiness. There is need for awareness and counselling among student for reduced the sleep disorder burden.
Use of Digital Games in Teaching Vocabulary to Young Learners

It has been an educational policy for the Turkish educational authorities to teach English as a foreign language from early ages of children. This research attempts to determine the role of digital games on enhancing English vocabulary and to com¬pare games with pen and paper practices. For this purpose, digital games on EBA (Education Informatics Network) platform were used for enhancing vocabulary teaching in a public primary school in Turkey. The study recruited 37 third-grade students from two separate classes. A class of 20 students was identified as the experimental group, and another class of 17 students was assigned as the control group. The data for this study was obtained by gathering information from pre and post-tests. The control group received English lessons without using games on EBA, while the experimental group used EBA while learning vocabulary. Independent sample t-test was used to measure the effect of digital games on the vocabulary learning of the experimental group. It was deduced from the findings that there were statistically significant differences in the mean scores of post-tests. The findings showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group and the statistical results were considerable in post-test. Findings indicate that digital games usage in teaching vocabulary is effective for learners to improve their vocabulary knowledge.
Australian tidal currents – assessment of a barotropic model with an unstructured grid

Abstract. While the variations of tidal range are large and fairly well known across Australia (less than 1 m near Perth but more than 14 m in King Sound), the properties of the tidal currents are not. We describe a new regional model of Australian tides and assess it against a validation dataset comprising tidal height and velocity constituents at 615 tide gauge sites and 95 current meter sites. The model is a barotropic implementation of COMPAS, an unstructured-grid primitive-equation model that is forced at the open boundaries by TPXO9v1. The Mean Absolute value of the Error (MAE) of the modelled M2 height amplitude is 9.3 cm, or 13 % of the 73 cm mean observed amplitude. The MAE of phase (11°), however, is significant, so the M2 Mean Magnitude of Vector Error (MMVE, 20 cm) is significantly greater. Results for 5 other major constituents are similar. We conclude that while the model has skill at height in all regions, there is definitely room for improvement (especially at some specific locations) before harmonic predictions based on observations are rendered obsolete. For the M2 major-axis velocity amplitude, the MAE across the 95 current meter sites, where the observed amplitude ranges from 0.1 cm s−1 to 144 cm s−1, is 6.5 cm s−1, or 20 % of the 31.7 cm s−1 observed mean. This nationwide average result is not much greater than the equivalent for height, but it conceals a larger regional variation. Relative errors on the narrow shelves of NSW and Western Australia exceed 100 %, but tidal currents are weak and negligible there compared to non-tidal currents. We show that the model has predictive value for much of the 79 % of Australia's shelf seas where tides are a major component of the total velocity variability. In descending order this includes the Bass Strait, Kimberley to Arnhem Land and Southern Great Barrier Reef regions. There is limited evidence the model is also valuable for currents in other regions across northern Australia. We plan to commence publishing unofficial tidal current predictions for chosen regions in the near future, based on both the limited number of observations, and the COMPAS model.
Demography of corneal dystrophies at a tertiary eye care centre in South India

Purpose: To report the frequency of corneal dystrophies. Materials and Methods: All patients who presented to the out-patient department were examined for signs of corneal dystrophy from January 2017 to December 2019. All patients underwent a thorough evaluation for demographics, clinical presentation, history of consanguinity, family medical history, and clinical outcome of keratoplasty (in those who required it) and a clinicopathologic correlation was attempted. Complete ophthalmological examination was conducted for all patients which included vision (distance & near), slit lamp examination, retinoscopy, auto refractometer readings, dilated fundus examination, pentacam as well as anterior segment OCT. Photographic documentation was done for all dystrophy patients. Results: During this time period we had 118 patients who were included in the study. History of consanguineous marriage was noted in 62% of the study population. History of a similar problem in siblings and other members was elicited in 27 (22.88%) and 15 (12.71%) patients, respectively. 23 patients required keratoplasty. The average follow-up of each keratoplasty case was 3614 months. Among these cases, only 2 groups had graft failure, viz, CHED and macular dystrophy. Conclusion: The higher frequency of dystrophies could be due to higher consanguineous marriage, which indicates a need for counselling. Also, there is an increased need for thorough work-up before planning intraocular procedures. Keywords: Corneal dystrophy, Endothelial, Keratoplasty, Stromal.
Influences of Reference Group on Users’ Purchase Intentions in Network Communities: From the Perspective of Trial Purchase and Upgrade Purchase

Reference group is an important factor influencing users’ purchase in the network communities. The reference group’s influences involve informative influence and normative influence, and users’ purchases are divided into the trial purchase and upgrade purchase. In different purchases, users have different product information, consumer experience, and purchase attitudes, making different responses to the reference group. Thus, a research model of reference groups’ influences on users’ purchase intentions from the perspective of trial purchase and upgrade purchase is constructed. The model and hypotheses are tested by analyzing 349 valid questionnaires. The results indicate that both informative and normative influences have significant positive effects on users’ trial purchase intentions. Informative influence has a significant positive effect on users’ upgrade intentions, while the normative influence on users’ upgrade purchase intentions is not significant. Both informative influence and normative influence have significant positive effects on trust in the product. Trust in the product has a significant positive effect on trial purchase intentions, but its effect on upgrade purchase intentions is not significant. Purchase involvement positively regulates the relationship between informative influence and trial purchase intentions and negatively regulates the relationship between informative influence and upgrade purchase intentions. The results further enrich the theoretical system of users’ purchase behaviors in a virtual environment. The research can also have important implications for network communities wishing to improve online marketing.

Direct Determination of Chlorpyrifos in Honey by Neutral Desorption-Extractive Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

ABSTRACT Neutral desorption-extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was used for the direct, rapid, and quantitative determination of chlorpyrifos in honey without pretreatment. Under the optimized conditions, the limit of detection was 1.64 ng/mL with a linear dynamic range from 10 to 1,000 ng/mL and relative standard deviations from 1.97 to 6.14%. The recoveries of fortified honey samples at 50 and 500 ng/mL were 82.02 and 109.28% with relative standard deviations of 4.02 and 4.34%, respectively. This protocol offers high sensitivity, good precision, rapid analysis, and high specificity in a complex matrix.
A Face Recognition Algorithm Based on Dual-Channel Images and VGG-cut Model

In the embedded system environment, both large amount of face image data and the slow recognition process speed are the main problem facing face recognition of end devices. This paper proposes a face recognition algorithm based on dual-channel images and adopts a cropped VGG-like model referred as VGG-cut model for predicting. The training set uses the same single-layer images of the same person combined into dual channels as a positive example, and single-layer images of different people are combined into dual channels as a negative example. After model training, the trained face verification model is used as the basis of face recognition, and the final recognition result can be obtained through loop matching and similarity ranking. The experimental results on a RISC-V embedded FPGA platform show that compared with the ResNet model called in Dlib, the VGG-like model and MobileFaceNet trained by Keras, our algorithm is increased by 240×, 88×, and 19× in recognition speed, respectively without significant accuracy reduction.
