Understanding the Choice of Online Resale Channel for Used Electronics

Each year, global consumers dispose of 20 million to 50 million tons of electronic products, including laptops, tablets, and, most commonly, cell phones. Realizing the residual value in used electronics, consumers frequently look for ways to sell their devices, while independent parties (IPs) such as Gazelle and NextWorth and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as Apple compete in acquiring them. These firms also compete with online marketplaces such as eBay, which offer a channel for individuals to sell used devices to others. To succeed in this highly competitive market, buying firms (i.e., OEMs and IPs) must understand factors that influence sellers' estimated utility and their decisions in a resale process. We conduct laboratory experiments with a two-stage resale process, where subjects in the first stage choose a resale channel to sell their used cell phone. In the second stage, subjects evaluate a potential counteroffer decision, i.e., post-choice decision. Our results from the resale-channel choice stage show that individuals have a higher sensitivity to price, time until payment, and online ratings when selling to an IP than when selling to an OEM or through an OM. No significant difference exists, however, in their sensitivity to IP or OEM data security policies. Our results from the post-choice decision stage show that a seller's share in the counteroffer increases the likelihood of acceptance in all resale channels, whereas higher online ratings might increase or decrease the likelihood of accepting a counteroffer depending on the resale channel. Our laboratory experiment results generally are consistent, with some differences, when replicated on Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk).
Intra‐Organizational User‐Centred Design Practices: The Impact of Design Research Departments at Design Consultancies

The user is a critical factor in design and innovation. Firms experiment with different approaches to involving the user in design processes, which results in new forms of intra‐ and extra‐organizational collaboration. The establishment of in‐house design research units within design consultancies is one such intra‐organizational user‐centred design practice that targets designer‐researcher collaboration. This paper addresses this issue and reports on the findings from multiple case study research exploring the impact of in‐house design research teams on designers' user knowledge construction. We utilized constructivist learning theory to assess major aspects of these intra‐organizational user‐centred design practices. Ethnographically informed field studies were conducted at six design consultancies representing three design fields (i.e., architecture, industrial design and interaction design) in the Northwestern United States. Three of the consultancies have design research departments and three do not. The findings indicate that in‐house design research units play a role in designers' user knowledge construction via their results, processes and human resources. Among these, the active participation of designers in the research process was observed to have the largest impact because of its contribution to designers' contextual and collaborative learning about users.
Survival Following Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Recurrent High Grade Gliomas

We aimed to report our stereotactic radiotherapy experience with Cyberknife (Accuray, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) for patients with recurrent high grade glial tumor. Forty-two patients with histologically proven malign glioma (30 glioblastoma, 12 anaplastic astrocytoma) and also treated with previous conventional fractioned radiotherapy underwent stereotactic radiotherapy via Cyberknife for their recurrent tumor in Ankara Oncology Hospital between July 2009-and September 2012. The median follow up time was 30 months (range, 8-144 months) after diagnosis and 10 months (range, 1-38 months) from stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). The median survival from SRT are 8 months for glioblastoma patients and 11 months for grade 3 malign glioma patients (p= 0.157). The median survival from SRT are 9 months and 11 months in patients given chemotherapy and not given, respectively (p= 0.436). The median survival from SRT are 10 months in patients reoperated and 9 months not reoperated ( p= 0.827). Stereotactic radiotherapy is an effective treatment modality in patients with recurrent glial tumor.
Developing a Historical Phenology Dataset through Community Involvement for Climate Change Research

There has been an increased effort to utilize untapped sources of historical phenological data such as museum specimens, journals written by nature-minded citizens, and dated photographs through local phenology projects for climate change research. Local phenology projects have contributed greatly to our current understanding of phenological changes over time and have an important role in the public’s engagement with natural history, but there are also significant challenges in finding and analyzing historical data. The West Virginia Climate History Project collected historical phenology data (1890-2015) from citizens in West Virginia with scientific and cultural results. We discuss the development of the project, issues we overcame, recommendations for future projects, and the conservation value of local phenology projects. Local phenology projects lend value to climate change research and conservation education. Policy directed towards supporting humanities grants and museum collections, including herbariums, is crucial in the success of these projects.
Thrombocytopenia in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

Background: Thrombocytopenia is defined as a platelet count of less than 150×10 μl. It is commonly diagnosed and has attracted more interest from researchers during recent years, especially in Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. This study was done to estimate the incidence of thrombocytopenia in pregnant women diagnosed with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and to correlate its severity with the degree of thrombocytopenia. Methods: In the study 150 women admitted in the OBG Department at Rajarajeswari Medical College and Hospital, Bengaluru during August 2015-August 2016 were included. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy cases were classified into: Gestational hypertension, mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia, haemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and low platelet levels (HELLP) syndrome and eclampsia. The incidence and severity of thrombocytopenia along with maternal and foetal complications encountered in the five groups were analysed. Data were arranged in Microsoft Excel version 2010, and statistically analysed by SPSS version 23. Results: Preeclampsiamild (29.25%) and severe (22.5%), accounted for most of the cases followed by eclampsia (3%) and gestational HTN (1.5%). Among these hypertensive patients, mild thrombocytopenia was noted in 60 cases (40%), moderate thrombocytopenia 48 (32%), severe thrombocytopenia 12 (8%), and normal platelet counts 30 (20%) were noted. Poor maternal outcome was seen 10.67% cases due to HELLP syndrome and postpartum haemorrhage. Poor foetal outcome was seen in 16% cases due to intrauterine growth restriction and perinatal mortality. Conclusions: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is recognized as a major cause of gestational thrombocytopenia. Careful follow up during and after pregnancy is recommended.
Étude multicentrique, française comparant les résultats à long terme de la transplantation rénale selon l’adhérence des patients aux immunosuppresseurs mesurée de façon prospective et répétée

Introduction : En transplantation renale, la non-adherence (NA) est associee a une augmentation du risque d’echec de greffe mais peu d’etudes prospectives avec mesure de NA par pilulier electronique ou questionnaire ont ete realisees et des resultats divergents ont ete retrouves. Le but de cette etude prospective multicentrique etait de determiner si la NA mesuree de facon repetee avec un questionnaire etait associe a un sur-risque de perte de greffon. Methodes : La NA etait mesuree a 3, 6, 12 et 24 mois apres la greffe par l’echelle de Morisky chez des adultes transplantes renaux precedemment inclus dans une etude multicentrique Francaise. L’impact de la NA sur l’echec de greffe defini comme le premier evenement parmi le deces, le retour en dialyse ou une nouvelle transplantation a ete etudiee selon plusieurs modeles de Cox (un modele par definition de NA). Nous avons aussi etudie par des modeles de Cox l’impact de la sous-immunosuppression definie par des residuelles basses d’anticalcineurine et un switch des anticalcineurines sur le risque d’echec de greffe. Resultats : Nous avons inclus 301 patients, dont 195 (64,7%) avec des donnees completes. Le suivi etait de cinq ans apres la greffe, si l’echec de greffe ne survenait pas avant. Le risque d’echec de greffe n’etait pas augmente chez les patients non-adherents compares aux patients adherents, quelque soit la definition de la NA. Apres ajustement sur l’âge du receveur et du donneur, la presence de donneurs a criteres elargis et le statut de NA, le risque d’echec de greffe etait augmente chez les patients ayant une sous-immunosuppression a 12 et 24 mois par rapport aux autres patients (RR a 12 mois 2,68;IC95% 1,01-7,10;p=0,048 / RR a 24 mois 8,18;IC95% 2,73-24,54;p=0,0002). Conclusion : La survie de la greffe n’est pas impactee par la NA estimee par des auto-evaluations repetees dans le temps mais est diminuee chez les patients presentant une sous-immunosuppression, quelque soit le statut d’adherence des patients.
DESCRIPTION OF NEW SPECIES OF METARHABDITIS LONGICAUDATUS (NEMATODA: RHABDITIDAE) WITH THREE NEW RECORDS FROM SINDH, PAKISTAN

Many rhabditid nematodes like Metarhabditis belonging to the bacteriophage group are considered to be necromenic associates of insects and used to be facultative entomopathogenic nematodes or as biocontrol agents. These nematodes can be safely used against insect pests of different crops and vegetables. In the present study, nematode specimens of new and known species were collected from different areas of Sindh and isolated from soil samples by baiting technique using last instar Galleria mellonella. One new nematode species Metarhabditis longicaudata n. sp. and three new records of M. adenobia, M. amasactae, and M. rainai (Nematoda: Rhabditidae) were found from Sindh. M. longicaudata n. sp. differed from the species of the genus Metarhabditis by having long un-covered tail spike. It was also characterized by a large sized male 1286 (1154-1325) µm; longer male tail 69.5 (62-76) µm; longer spicule 43 (40-46) µm; leptoderan bursa; longer gubernaculum 27 (20-34) µm. The female was also of large size of 1507 (1366-1684) µm with larger tail 102 (94-112) µm and longer pharynx 231 (206-265) µm. The genus Metarhabditis is reported for the first time from Sindh, Pakistan.
Use of models to evaluate carbon sequestration in agricultural soils

ABSTRACT The Rothamsted Carbon (RothC) model, which is one of widely used soil carbon (C) models, was validated against long-term experimental datasets in Japan and modified to suit Andosols and paddy soils reflecting unique soil C turnover mechanisms in these soils. Nationwide soil C calculation system was developed by combining these modified models and spatial model input data such as weather, soil type, land use, and agricultural activities. The model was validated in China and Thailand by using long-term field experimental datasets, too. Further studies especially in tropical Asia will be needed. Matching conceptual model C pools with measurable fractions have been big challenges. Using various plant materials, two conceptual pools of plant litter, decomposable plant material (DPM) and resistant plant material (RPM), in the RothC were successfully identified. It was achieved by comparing the default proportions of DPM and RPM pools in the RothC and proportions in plant material fractions determined by two-step acid hydrolysis with H2SO4. The trial to match all of five C pools in the model, however, remains unachieved though a study was conducted comparing not only the size of C pools but mean residence time of the pools. A web-based decision support tool called ‘Visualization of CO2 absorption by soils’ was developed. This allows users to easily calculate changes in soil C, CH4 and N2O emissions, and fossil fuel consumption. With this tool, farmers can see how to improve the environmental sustainability of their products and this tool may help spread mitigation options widely. Soil C sequestration can help achieve climate change mitigation and sustainable agricultural production. Importance of long-term field observations should be more highlighted because long-term experiments have supported the development of modeling approaches. I hope models will be more widely used by decision makers. Collaboration between modeling and monitoring studies is important.
Revised Small Macro-Econometric Model Of The Nigerian Economy

The first operational small-scale macro-econometric model of the Nigerian Economy was developed in 2013. Ever since, the country has witnessed significant changes owing to oil price shock which culminated in internal and external imbalances. Addressing these challenges among others, informed the revision of the model. Thus, in the revised model, provisions are made for unemployment and the role of expectations and uncertainty surrounding the oil and foreign exchange markets. By simulating three alternative policy scenarios using oil price, monetary policy rate and cash reserve ratio, some striking results are obtained with implications for monetary policy in Nigeria. Alternative method was applied in the disequilibrium model of demand and supply of primary and intermediate inputs by Guisan (2011, 2013), this further supports the potential of monetary policy in addressing macroeconomic variables through interest rate channel.
Associations between the Presence of Type 2 Diabetes and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among US Hispanic Population

Introduction: Very few studies have captured the association in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by the presence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) among the US Hispanic population. Aim: This study was to examine the association of the presence of T2D on HRQoL measure in the US Hispanic population. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study analyzing data from the 2014-2015 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). This data comprised of the Hispanic population of 13,933 members (estimated population size: 36,440,400) with T2D in the US. Two multivariate regression models were used to predict HRQoL (Short Form 12) by the presence of T2D among the Hispanic population. Results: Results showed 89.1% did not have T2D condition (n=12,423), while 10.9% had T2D conditions (n=1,510). SF-12 PCS scores were 45.85 (95% CI; 44.65, 47.05) in Hispanic population with T2D and 51.23 (95 % CI; 50.77, 51.68) in Hispanic population without T2D. SF-12 MCS scores were 52.52 (95% CI; 51.98, 53.05) in patients without T2D and 49.59 (955 CI; 48.34, 50.76) in Hispanic population with T2D conditions. Conclusion: The study suggests that the presence of T2D worsens HRQoL measured by individuals' physical and mental health status among the US Hispanic population compared with non-T2D Hispanic population. Psychiatric assessment and management of T2D minority population may improve patient HRQoL.
The Influence of Antiepileptic Drugs Alteration as Adjunctive Therapy of Drug Induced Gingival Enlargement among Epileptic Patients in Aseer Region, Saudi Arabia

Background: Drug induced gingival enlargement is a common clinical finding among epileptic patients who are under medical care. This gingival enlargement is generally managed by different methods as scaling and polishing, surgical or substitution of drugs etc. So this study was designed to evaluate the influence of antiepileptic drugs alteration as adjunctive therapy of drug induced gingival enlargement among epileptic patients in Aseer region, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: The present study was done on thirty epileptic patients (10 patients per group) between the ages of 15 and 52 years with gingival enlargement which were treated using Original Research Article Al-Abdaly et al.; IJTDH, 28(3): 1-12, 2017; Article no.IJTDH. 39039 2 scaling and polishing (SP) alone in group I addition chlorhexidine digluconate 0.2% in group II and alteration of drugs in group III. Plaque index (PLI), gingival index (GI) and gingival overgrowth (GO) scores were evaluated at baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after therapy, then tabulated and compared statistically using SPSS and the various in proportions was calculated using Chi-square test. Statistical significance (P < 0.05) was detected in PLI, GI, GO score between baseline, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks. Friedman Test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test were carried out to account the significant differences. Results: There were improvement in all clinical findings among epileptic patients in all study groups in the 1, 2 and 3 visit, but the improvement was most evident among the patients of group III that were treated by SP and alteration of anti epileptic drugs. Conclusions: Professional and self-plaque control also the alteration of antiepileptic drugs might be a useful in the management of drug induced gingival enlargement, consequently diminishing the necessity of surgical therapy.
Relationship between thyroid stimulating hormone and metabolic syndrome in overweight/obese children

Background: Background: Obesity, especially central obesity is related to many endocrine abnormalities, such as thyroid dysfunctions. Elevated levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is common in obese children, however, it is not clear if such condition is associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors. The study aimed to determine the association between levels of TSH in overweight and obese children with components of metabolic syndrome (Mets). Methods: The study sample included 197 overweight/obese 6-7 year old children in Tehran, Iran. Anthropometric (weight, waist circumference and height), metabolic (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and fasting blood glucose) and hormonal (TSH) variables, as well as blood pressure were measured. Mets was defined according to Cook definition. Results: Totally, 20.3% and 79.7% of children were overweight and obese, respectively. Elevated levels of TSH were diagnosed in 10 subjects (5.1%), while Mets was seen in 35.4%. The most frequent component of Mets was abdominal obesity (72.5%). A weak positive correlation between BMI for age, Z scores and TSH level (r =0.11, P value= 0.123) was observed only in girls (r=0.2, P value= 0.034). TSH was not associated with components of Mets. Conclusion: Elevated TSH levels may be found in obese children; however, the association between TSH elevation and cardiovascular disease risk factors, including components of metabolic syndrome needs further investigation.
Development of an Instrument to Measure Academic Resilience Among Pharmacy Students

Objective. To develop a valid and reliable academic resilience scale for use in the didactic portion of the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum to identify those pharmacy students who have greater capacity to overcome academic adversity. Methods. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among first-year, second-year, and third-year pharmacy students to assess psychometric properties of a 30-item adapted academic resilience scale. Data were also collected using the Short Grit Scale (Grit-S). Demographic characteristics were collected from student records. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to determine the number of underlying factors responsible for data covariation. Principal components analysis was used as the extraction method. Varimax rotation method was used, and the Cronbach alpha was estimated. Validity testing was conducted by calculating Pearson’s r correlations between the adapted academic resilience scale and Grit-S. Results. The survey response rate was 84%. The final version of the scale, the Academic Pharmacy Resilience Scale (APRS-16), had four subscales and 16 items (14 items failed to load on any of the factors and were deleted). The Cronbach alpha was . 84, indicating strong internal consistency. The APRS-16 and its subscales were significantly correlated to the Grit-S and its subscales, providing evidence of effective convergent validity. Conclusion. Evidence supports the reliability and validity of the APRS-16 as a measure of academic resilience in pharmacy students. Future studies should use the APRS-16 to investigate the relationship between academic resilience and performance outcomes among pharmacy students.
Paleomagnetic and magnetic fabric data from Lower Triassic redbeds of the Central Western Carpathians: new constraints on the paleogeographic and tectonic evolution of the Carpathian region

In the Central Western Carpathians (CWC), most published paleomagnetic results from Permo-Mesozoic rocks document extensive remagnetizations and come from thin-skinned thrust units that have undergone multistage deformation. We present results from lower Triassic redbeds from the autochthonous cover overlying the basement that carry a primary magnetization. Petromagnetic results indicate that the dominant ferromagnetic carrier is hematite, while magnetic susceptibility and its anisotropy are controlled by both ferromagnetic and paramagnetic minerals. Magnetic fabrics document weak deformation related to Late Cretaceous shortening. The directions of the high unblocking temperature remanence components pass both reversal and fold tests, attesting to their primary nature. Paleomagnetic inclinations are flatter than expected from reference datasets, suggesting small latitudinal separation between the CWC and stable Europe. Paleomagnetic declinations are mostly clustered within individual mountain massifs, implying their tectonic coherence. They show only minor differences between the massifs, indicating a lack of significant vertical-axis tectonic rotations within the studied central parts of the CWC. The paleomagnetic declinations are therefore representative of the whole of the CWC in terms of regional paleogeographic interpretations, and imply moderate counterclockwise rotations (c. 26°) of the region with respect to stable Europe since the Early Triassic.
