Does eWOM affect Guests’ Experience Expectation? An Empirical Analysis within the Hotel and Tourism Sector

Nowadays, progressive developments in information technology and latest communication techniques have brought about increasingly significant variations in consumer behaviour. These changes have created a focused shift in companies’ business and marketing strategies. The hotel and tourism industry in particular, has been histrionically influenced by an electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM) form of communication. This study aims to examine the extent to which e-WOM influences customer experience in a resort hotel setting. Using purposive sampling technique, a total of 135 usable online survey questionnaire feedbacks were collected from targeted respondents and subsequently used for data analyses. The data were analysed using SmartPLS software. Empirical results have revealed positive and significant relationships between e-WOM and all four dimensions of customer experience. The results emphasized the importance of e-WOM in the resort hotel industry and provided practical implications for the resort operators to enhance their guests’ level of expected experience.
Vitamin D deficiency and Tuberculosis in Basrah: The Effect of Anti-tuberculosis Drugs

Low vitamin D levels had been reported to be associated with a wide range of health problems, one of them is tuberculosis. Aims To estimate vitamin D serum concentration among patients with tuberculosis and their matched controls at baseline, and for TB patients at 2 and 5 months after starting anti-tuberculosis treatment. Methods: The study was carried out at the TB Center and College of Medicine in Basrah (Iraq), during the period from September 2018 to June 2019. Participants were newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients, and their matched apparently healthy controls. Total 25-hydroxy vitamin D in serum was estimated using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, and others were also measured. Results: There were no statistically significant difference in the mean levels of vitamin D between tuberculosis patients at baseline (n=56) and control subjects (n=57). The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was high in patients and their controls at baseline where more than 80% of them had a vitamin D level below 20 ng/ml. When patients were followed two months after starting anti-tuberculosis treatment, the mean serum vitamin D level was significantly lower than that at baseline. Despite the widespread vitamin D deficiency among TB patients, all smear-positive pulmonary TB patients, except 3, had sputum conversion after 2 months of treatment. Conclusion: The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is high with no significant difference between tuberculosis patients at baseline and their matched normal controls. Vitamin D deficiency did not seem to affect the response of patients to anti-TB treatment.
EXAMINING POWER, GHG EMISSION AND FINANCIAL SAVING IN GREEN BUILDINGS: A CASE STUDY OF JORDAN

The purpose of this research is to explore the effect of reducing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions in a case study of green buildings in Jordan through the use of photovoltaic solar panels to generate electricity. It also examines the use of photovoltaic solar cells to generate electricity and supplement Jordan’s national grid. The emission analysis is used to determine the case framework and the project’s GHG emissions, which is the CO2 project. The study’s findings demonstrate that implementing photovoltaic (PV) plans is economically feasible for Jordan’s electricity production. The annual energy savings are estimated to be 9315.61 kWh, which equates to a savings of over 3200 USD per year on the electricity bill. This is in addition to the annual reduction of GHG emissions by 920.7 tCO2, indicating that the case study initiated a beneficial event. The study contributes to filling a gap in the existing literature on the energy savings and environmental benefits of green buildings, which is deficient in developing countries due to a lack of applied research. The findings are not unique to Jordan; they could easily be applied to other developing countries as well.
The Effect of Innovative Work Behaviour on the Performance of Service Sector SMEs in Sabah

Innovation is often associated with the introduction of new products or services in the business. Moreover, it can also be about changing the way business is conducted. Innovation embraces new technologies, improves industry methods, meets changing customer demands or needs, and creates better systems and processes. The organisation relies heavily upon its stakeholders, especially the employees, when it wants to develop or create an innovative environment in the workplace, either in terms of operations, processes, or methods. In line with employees' innovative spirits, innovation is deemed more critical for Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs). As the backbone of Malaysia's economy, SMEs' competitive ability is often measured through its innovative capacity. In essence, SMEs and innovation are synergistically integrated as innovative efforts are regarded as the source of economic competitiveness. However, the means for the firms to be innovative remain questionable (Makanyeza & Dzvuke, 2016). In the current scenario, to achieve long-term success, an organisation needs to support and enhance its employees' innovative potential rather than focusing solely on research and development (R&D) professionals, scientists, or specialists. Thus, this study is conducted to examine the effect of innovative work behaviour on Sabah's SMEs' performance in the Service Sector. This is a quantitative research in which a total of 300 questionnaires were distributed to the managers of Service Sector SMEs in Sabah and 219 responses were received. The data collected was then analysed using PLS-SEM. This study found that the innovative work behaviour (β = 0.393, p =0.000) were positively related to organisation performance. Hence, innovative work behaviour is crucial to be embraced by the employees of the organisation itself to enable organisations to stay relevant in the industry and keep pace with the environment's rapid changes.
Service Exports and Productivity: Evidence from OECD Panel Data

1 This study aims to investigate the relationship between service exports and productivity in 27 OECD countries by using a panel dataset for the years 1995-2018. In the theoretical context, this relationship is basically handled by the learning-by-exporting and selfselection mechanisms. Additionally, product life cycle and technological gap theories also have implications related to the export and productivity association. In the study, after detecting the cross-sectional dependence, the stationarity characteristics of the exports and productivity series were investigated by Pesaran’s (2007) panel unit root tests. The findings of Westerlund (2007) panel co-integration test indicated that there is a longrun equilibrium relationship between service exports and productivity. Common correlated effects estimators also supported this finding and showed that productivity affects exports positively in both short and long run. Finally, Dumitrescu and Hurlin’s (2012) heterogeneous panel causality tests showed that there is a unidirectional causal relationship running from productivity to service exports. The findings support the predictions of product life cycle theory and technological gap theory regarding the exports and productivity linkage and indicate the validity of the self-selection mechanism for OECD countries’ service exports.

Political party elite and election-related violence in Nigeria: The nexus and implications for democracy and governance

Failure to conduct violence-free elections in Nigeria has frequently reflected in the writings of local and foreign election observers and monitoring groups. Previous studies have devoted much attention to the consequences of electoral violence on sustenance and consolidation of democracy but less attention has been paid to the role political party elite play in this violence. This study examined the role of political party elite in election-related violence in Nigeria, 2011-2019. It equally assessed its nexus and implications for democracy and governance. The study utilized documentary research method using qualitative documentary analysis to analyze the data obtained from secondary sources following four-step approach. Findings revealed that political party elite exerted greater influence on politically-sponsored thugs, who were utilized to perpetrate election-related violence due to zerosum game, winners-takes-all syndrome, and non-punishment of electoral offenders with far-reaching implications for popular participation, free, fair and credible election, party politics, leadership legitimacy and stable polity. The study submitted that curbing party elite-sponsored electoral violence requires that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the National Assembly wake up to their responsibility of ensuring strict enforcement of laws for electoral offences as this would deter both sponsors and perpetrators from engaging in violence during election.
Analgesic effect of music during laser retinal photocoagulation in diabetics: A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial

Objective: To prospectively evaluate the analgesic effect of self-selected music for patients with diabetic retinopathy who underwent laser retinal photocoagulation (LRP). Methodology: This is a controlled, randomized, blinded, twoperiod crossover clinical trial. Twenty patients (40 eyes) with proliferative diabetic retinopathy who underwent LRP was enrolled. Listening to the patient's favorite music before and during the LRP was the non-pharmacological intervention. The control group (CG) was composed of patients who received only standard pharmacological treatment and the experimental group (EG) of those who received the intervention associated with standard pharmacological treatment. Pain was measured using the Numerical Verbal Scale. Differences in pain scores were tested using Aligned Rank Transformed ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests. The effect size of the differences was assessed using Rank Bisserial and Partial Square Effect Sizes. Results: Participants were Research, Society and Development, v. 10, n. 6, e52610616181, 2021 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi. org/10.33448/rsd-v10i6.16181 2 predominantly male (60%), adults (57.4±9.1 years), with comorbidities (65%), with visual impairment ≥ 1 year (65%). Participants who heard music had lower pain scores (EG: 4.80±2.46) compared to those who did not (CG: 6.75±1.59; p=0.013). The application of self-selected music showed a large size of the analgesic effect (η2=0.189). Conclusion: Listening to the patient's favorite music, associated with standard analgesia, is effective in relieving acute LRP-related pain and should be incorporated into clinical practice for the multimodal treatment of pain in this procedure.
Identification of Chain Scission Products Released to Water by Plastic Exposed to Ultraviolet Light

Buoyant plastic in the marine environment is exposed to sunlight, oxidants, and physical stress, which may lead to degradation of the plastic polymer and the release of compounds that are potentially hazardous. We report the development of a laboratory protocol that simulates the exposure of plastic floating in the marine environment to ultraviolet light (UV) and nontarget analysis to identify degradation products of plastic polymers in water. Plastic pellets [polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and poly(ethylene terephthalate)] suspended in water were exposed to a UV light source for 5 days. Organic chemicals in the water were concentrated by solid phase extraction and then analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry using a nontarget approach with a C18 LC column coupled to a Q Exactive Orbitrap HF mass spectrometer. We designed a data analysis scheme to identify chemicals that are likely chain scission products from degradation of the plas.
THE NIGERIAN JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY

The study investigated psychological stress and its associated factors among in-school adolescents in Ibadan, Nigeria. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study that employed a multi-stage sampling to select and assess 400 students from ten secondary schools in Ibadan on their socio-demographic profile, knowledge, prevalence, coping mechanisms and associated factors of psychological stress. Brief-COPE and General Health questionnaires were adopted to assess the prevalence and coping mechanisms of psychological stress among the respondents. Findings revealed that more than half of the respondents (55.8%) had poor knowledge of psychological stress and only a few (6%) had a high level of being psychologically stressed among the in-school adolescents. The most common coping mechanism observed among the respondents was avoidance coping mechanism, specifically “going to the movies” (49.1%); and the factors significantly associated with the prevalence of psychological stress were school, family, physical factors, peer-pressure as well as romantic factors. Binary logistic regression analysis results showed that “Not supported by parents financially (OR: 2.681, 95% CI 1.0-7.1) and finding it difficult to keep up with school work (OR: 0.202, 95% CI 0.04-0.8)” was positively associated with the prevalence of psychological stress among in-school adolescents. The poor knowledge and prevalence of psychological stress observed among the in-school adolescents suggest constant sensitisations among students, parents, teachers and school counsellors.
Special issue-Agribusiness in times of planetary collapse: critical approaches

The benefits that bees offer the ecosystem are increasingly recognized, but not met by actions designed to conserve these pollinators. Therefore, the present work aims to describe the impact of three key characteristics of agroindustry that are currently damaging bees in Brazil: deforestation, use of pesticides and large-scale cultivation of genetically modified (GM) varieties. We hear of mass mortality and weakening and damage to hives, but no conclusive causes are announced. In particular, studies indicate that fungicides, herbicides and GM plants, even when considered harmless to bees, still promote physiological and behavioral changes in these insects. However, most of these studies do not indicate the real damage to the hives, which can only be observed in long-term studies carried out in the field. Even when risk assessments of fungicides and herbicides are conducted in the field on non-targeted organisms, the tests are considered valid for isolated individuals without regard to the eusocial behavior of bees in their colonies. Some studies present results from experiments performed on individuals in the lab, again not necessarily reflecting hive activity. Results of trials that consider the complexity of interactions among castes and different generations of bees are very scarce. Therefore, we herein take a comprehensive and detailed approach to three practices of Brazilian agribusiness that directly affect bee and colony health and survival, as well as their ecoservices.
Polymorphisms in coding and non-coding regions of rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) myogenin (MyoG) gene

In animal breeding, selection based on growth is very often used, as this trait affects the profitability of animal production. Identification of polymorphisms within the genes affecting the growth process seems to be very important. Therefore, we decided to analyse rabbit myogenin (MyoG gene) for potential polymorphic sites and their association with growth and carcass traits in Termond White (TER), Belgian Giant Grey (BGG) and crossbred New Zealand White×Belgian Giant Grey (NZW×BGG) rabbits. We found three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) – in 5’ upstream sequence g.68679476 C>T, in exon 1 – silent mutation g.68680096 T>C and g.68680097 G>A resulting in change of GTG triplet (valine) into ATG triplet (methionine). Association analysis showed that GG genotype weaning weight was statistically higher compared to GA in TER population (P=0.005), and that the hind parts for GG genotypes were heavier compared to those of GA (P=0.024), but association analysis of dissectible parts showed this was caused by higher bone weight (P=0.015). For g.68679476 C>T in NZW×BGG population, the CC genotypes for fore (678±35) and hind part (615±29) weights were heavier compared to CT (588±16 and 549±13, respectively); moreover, association analysis of dissectible parts showed that weight of dissectible meat in hind part. Unfortunately, we did not find similar associations for other analysed breeds. For g.68679476 C>T in NZWxBGG musculus longissimus lumborum pH leg after 24 h chilling (pH24L) were statistically lower for CC genotypes compared to CT (P=0.027). For g.68680097 G>A in Termond White population L* value on the hind leg after 24 h chilling (L*24H) was higher for GA genotypes compared to GG (P=0.03), while for g.68679476 C>T for musculus longissimus lumborum L* value after 24 h (L*24L) CC genotypes had higher value compared to CT (P=0.016) in BGG population. Moreover, in BGG population CT genotypes had higher weaning weight compared to CC (P=0.018). Our results show that SNPs within the MyoG gene may influence growth traits in some rabbit breeds, but the evolutionary conserved sequence may not be favourable for changes within coding sequences. For a better understanding thereof, additional analysis is required.
V-cut twisted tape insert effect on heat transfer enhancement of single phase turbulent flow heat exchanger

Turbulator is recognized as a method to increase the performance of the heat exchanger. Turbulator in the form of V-cut twisted tape insert could help to increase the performance by enhancing the coefficient of the heat transfer. This paper proposes a new design of V-cut twisted tape insert (VTT) with different width ratio (w/W), which investigated on the heat transfer enhancement, in the form of Nusselt number (Nu) and friction factor (f) characteristics. Three different width ratios (w/W) 0.32; 0.38 and 0.48 are introduced in this experiment. The working fluid is the hot water in the inner tube and cold water in the annulus, the flow direction is counter-flow. The temperature inlet of hot water is kept constant at 60°C while the flow rate is in the range of Reynolds number 5400 - 17,350. The heat exchanger without insertion (plain tube) and typical twisted tape insert (TT) are examined for comparison. Results indicate that the proposed VTT increases the heat transfer, friction factor, and thermal performance of the heat exchanger. Under the similar condition, VTT provides the best performance in comparison with TT and plain tube. Decreasing width ratio (w/W) increases the heat transfer and thermal performance. However, when the heat transfer is increased, the friction factor is also increasing. The results also revealed that the use of the VTT and TT, the increase in the heat transfer and friction factor up to 97% and 3.48 times of the plain tube. The highest thermal performance is 1.4.

IMPACT OF GROWTH HORMONE GENE TRANSFER BY SPERM-MEDIATED GENE TRANSFER ON EGG PRODUCTIVE AND REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS OF BANDARAH LOCAL CHICKEN

The experimental was aimed to improve genetic of Bandarah Local chicken strain to insert Growth hormone gene (cGH) from (Cobb 500) broiler strain by method sperm-mediated gene transfer technique (SMGT). This study investigated for two generations. Total RNA was extracted from chicken liver tissue and the cDNA was successfully prepared. PCR Products GH, mRNA normal Length 810bp for transgenic Bandarah chickens which treated by SMGT method, the same result was found in the first and second generation. The averages of fertility percentage were 88.97% and 92.14 % for SMGT and control, respectively. The overall mean of the second generation was nearly value 90.76% of the first one 90.38%. The responses of the transgenic techniques SMGT for fertility percentage were 5.64%. The responses of hatchability for SMGT were 18.35% and 21.82% for fertile and total eggs, respectively The SMGT of transferring was decreased the age at sexual maturity ASM at the second generation by 35.01 d. Egg number which produced during the first 90 days from SMGT method significantly increased compared by the control. There was highly significant difference between treated found, the SMGT method had the heaviest egg weight 49.20 g followed by control one 48.22 g. After two generations, the SMGT technique was improved egg number by 10.62 egg, decreased egg weight by 0.9g and improved egg mass during the first 90 days of laying by 512.62 g. SMGT is an efficient method that will hopefully facilitate the implementation of strategies for securing the benefits that can be expected to arise from the introduction of transgenic chicken. Chicken cGH gene was affected in egg productive traits and reproductive traits and moved from the first generation to the second generation with the same shape and increased the effect. Growth hormone gene transfer by SMGT will save time to improve egg productive traits and reproductive
