The impact of mobile hotel reservation system on continuous intention to use in Jordan

Although Technology-Organization-Environment framework has been commonly used by several researchers for organizational adoption of digital business technologies, there is a lack of academic research tackled the Technology-Organization-Environment in developing countries. This article attempts to fill this gap by investigating the relations among several Technology-Organization-Environment variables at Aqaba five star hotels located in Jordan namely relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, top management support, firm size, technology competence, competitive pressure, critical mass, information intensity, age, gender, educational level, personal income, and work position in enhancing perceived usefulness, and the latter on continuous intention to use mobile hotel reservation system of five star hotels in Aqaba, Jordan. An empirical study among 390 usable responses containing 36 items was analyzed using multiple regression analysis and machine learning techniques to test the research hypotheses. Results expose a positive effect of relative advantage, information intensity, gender, age, and personal income on perceived usefulness, and the latter on continuous intention to use mobile hotel reservation system. This research will enable decision makers to identify which variables should be emphasized in order to impact hotels’ perceived usefulness of adopting mobile hotel reservation system, and in turn on continuous intention to use mobile hotel reservation system in service companies, especially in the hotel sector.
Preliminary Numerical and Experimental Investigations of 9 MM Pistol Bullet and Barrel Interaction

The paper presents results of numerical modeling of interaction between projectile and 9 mm pistol barrel. During the investigations, numerical results in quasi-static and dynamic conditions were obtained. Simulations in the first case allowed for validation of the model using the direct comparison of the theoretical results with resistant force courses obtained applying the experimental stand. The mechanical properties of projectile jacket were described based on the bilinear and Johnson – Cook model. For the dynamic case considerable differences between obtained results and results provided by simplified relationships proposed by Serebryakov were observed (over one order of magnitude). These discrepancies can be an effect of neglecting engraving process in the simplified approach. Applied approach to modeling the interaction between the bullet and the barrel, allows for implementation of obtained results in modeling of interior ballistics phenomena.
Restatements, Managerial Learning, and Optimal Reporting Bias

Financial restatements are costly, but frequent, events and many firms restate several times. This paper asks why rational managers engage in misreporting, in spite of the costly consequences. We present a simple extension to the Fischer and Verrecchia (2000) model, which provides testable predictions regarding the relation between the cost of restatements and reporting bias. In our model, the observed cost of a restatement conveys information to the manager about the true reputation cost of biasing financial statements, which he incorporates into his optimal choice of bias. A restatement hence offers the manager an opportunity to learn about the true cost of reporting bias, and he only updates his biasing strategy if the observed cost differs from his expectation. Consistent with this prediction, we find that firms' reporting bias is decreasing in the reputation costs observed after a restatement, such that managers only reduce future bias if the observed cost of restating was larger than expected. This effect seems stronger when we allow firms to update the expected cost of restatement based on more restatements. Our results indicate that rational managers use the insights from prior restatements to improve their future bias strategy.
The different prognostic impact of age according to individual molecular subtypes in breast cancer

Purpose Young age at diagnosis has been considered a poor prognostic factor. However, considering young age itself as an independent poor prognostic factor for all breast cancers is unwarranted. We analyzed the different prognostic effects of age as a prognostic factor according to molecular subtype. Methods We retrieved data from 1,819 patients with primary breast cancer at the breast cancer center between 2007 and 2012. We classified each molecular subtype in 3 age cohorts (<40, 40–50, and >50 years). The associations of age and molecular subtypes with relapse-free survival (RFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were assessed. Results Patients aged <40 years showed a poor histologic grade, hormone receptor negative expression than older patients, and had a higher proportion of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) (P < 0.001). This was thought to have led to a significantly shorter RFS than that of older patients (P < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis according to molecular subtypes, the poorer RFS was observed only in patients aged <40 years with luminal type breast cancer (P < 0.001). Age was an independent prognostic factor of RFS in luminal-type breast cancer (P = 0.001). However, no difference in RFS between age groups was found for patients with other subtypes (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 overexpression, TNBC). No significant effect between age groups was found in DSS for patients with all molecular subtypes. Conclusion Age at diagnosis of breast cancer affected prognosis differently according to molecular subtype. Age itself is not an independent prognostic factor. Age of <40 years showed a limited worse prognostic impact of recurrence in luminal type breast cancer only.

Delayed surgery after histologic or radiologic-diagnosed clinical stage I lung adenocarcinoma

Background The impact of delayed surgery on clinical outcomes after histologic or radiologic diagnosis of clinical stage I adenocarcinoma remains controversial. We evaluated the effects of delayed surgery on outcomes of patients with early-stage lung cancer. Methods Associations between time intervals of “histologic diagnosis-to-surgery” (HDS), “radiologic diagnosis-to-surgery” (RDS), and overall survival in clinical stage I adenocarcinoma were assessed using multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis. Results A total of 561 consecutive patients with preoperative histologic confirmation of stage I lung cancer between 2006 and 2016 were included. Median time to HDS and RDS were 20 (2–267) and 58 (38–2,983) days. Higher Charlson comorbidity score, receiving brain magnetic resonance imaging screening, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery approach were significantly associated with increased risk of late HDS (>21 days). Smaller tumor size and non-radiologic solid-dominant pattern were significantly associated with increased risk of late RDS (>60 days). In the overall cohort, worse 5-year overall survival was associated with late HDS compared to early HDS (75.9% vs. 85.5%, P=0.003). No significant differences were found in later late vs. early RDS (83.7% vs. 83.3%, P=0.570). In 286 propensity-score matched patients, late HDS [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) =2.031, P=0.038], higher Charlson comorbidity score (aHR=1.610, P=0.023), larger tumor size (aHR=2.164, P=0.031), without brain magnetic resonance imaging screening (aHR=2.051, P=0.045), and tumor with angiolymphatic invasion (aHR=4.638, P=0.001) were significantly associated with lower overall survival. Conclusions In patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma, delayed surgery after a histologic diagnosis is an independent predictor of overall survival after adjusting for clinical risk factors, suggesting meaningful differences in clinical outcomes between timely vs. delayed surgeries.
POWERLIFTING SESSIONS PROMOTE SIGNIFICANT POST-EXERCISE HYPOTENSION

ABSTRACT Introduction: Powerlifting (PWL) is a worldwide method, frequently used in resistance training programs. However, the relationship between cardiovascular responses and PWL is still unclear in the literature. Objective: To evaluate acute cardiovascular overload and post-exercise hypotension (PEH) after acute powerlifting exercise session in subjects with experience in the modality. Methods: Nine powerlifting athletes (34 ± 5 years) participated voluntarily in this study. The following exercises were used in the session: squat, bench press and deadlift (95% of 1 RM, 2 to 5 repetitions). The anthropometric parameters and blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean) were evaluated immediately, 5’, 10’, 30’, 60’ and 24 hours after the exercise session with a non-invasive automatic pres-sure monitor. Results: Significant differences (p<0.05) were found between rest and immediately after exercise on systolic (135 ± 6 vs. 153 ± 10 mmHg) and mean (102 ± 3 vs. 108 ± 3 mmHg) blood pressures, but no difference was found at diastolic (85 ± 3 vs. 85 ± 4 mmHg) blood pressure. Additionally, the increase in systolic pressure did not reach values considered as a risk of cardiovascular overload. Significant PEH was found after 60 minutes (systolic: -12 ± 12%, diastolic: -5 ± 6% and mean: -7 ± 5%) and 24 hours after PWL session (systolic: -5 ± 4%, diastolic: -8 ± 4% and mean: -7 ± 3%). Conclusion: Our data demonstrated that a PWL session does not increase systolic blood pressure up to the risk range and promotes PEH after 60 minutes of exercise and that this cardiovascular response persisted after 24 hours post-exertion in powerlifting athletes.Keywords: hypotension; resistance training; exercise.
RANS Simulation of Laminar-Turbulent Transition in Separation Bubbles on Airfoils

Predicting the location of laminar-turbulent transition, and modelling the transition region inside a separation bubble are two related questions presently limiting the performance of flow simulations. Considering these questions requires both an understanding of the underlying physics and a number of improvements of the available numerical tools. Several airfoils presenting short and long laminar bubbles are considered, trying to define a common approach with an internal prediction of laminar-turbulent transition. Comparisons to existing measurements and current predictions will be presented. Two methods for transition prediction are used with the same elsA numerical platform, transition criteria and the Menter-Langtry approach.
Two-staged treatment for advanced keratoconus in children

Apresentamos o caso de um paciente de 12 anos de idade com ceratocone avançado em ambos os olhos, que recebeu um tratamento em dois estágios no olho direito (OD) de modo a diminuir a taxa de progressão do ceratocone e reabilitar a visão do paciente. No exame clínico inicial, a acuidade visual sem correção no OD era contar dedos; refração sob cicloplegia era -22.00 7,50 x 100° = 20/400; a topografia demonstrou uma curvatura de 64,28 x 105° / 55,38 x 15°; e a tomografia (WaveLight Allegro Oculyzer) demonstrou uma curvatura de 68,1 x 114° / 63,3 x 163° Q = -2,67. Inicialmente, o paciente recebeu um segmento de anel intraestromal (210 mm /200 μm) ligeiramente fora de centro de modo a evitar a porção mais fina da córnea. Seis meses mais tarde, uma lente fácica foi implantada na câmara anterior. No acompanhamento de 13 meses após a implantação da lente fácica (19 meses após a implantação do anel), OD apresentava uma acuidade visual de 20/20 sem correção; uma refração sob cicloplegia de -0,50 -0,75 x 180o = 20/20; e a topografia da córnea demonstrou ceratometria de 63,22 x 44° / 61,10 x 134°. Os resultados demonstraram que a associação de procedimentos foi bem sucedida na diminuição do astigmatismo irregular, com uma melhora significativa da acuidade visual sem correção no OD, adiando a necessidade de transplante de córnea para uma idade mais adequada, caso necessário.

Using generalized audit software to detect material misstatements, control deficiencies and fraud

As technology integration in auditing continues to grow, it is important to understand how auditors perceive connections between use of generalized audit software (GAS) and audit benefits. ,The DeLone and McLean information systems success model (2003) is adapted with audit-related uses of GAS as antecedents to information quality. Survey data on 188 current users of GAS, who are financial and IT auditors, is analyzed with partial least squares method. ,For financial auditors, detecting material misstatements antecedent is the only significant indicator of information quality for GAS. For IT auditors, detecting control deficiencies and fraud significantly impacts information quality. Information quality influences use for both auditors; however, it only influences satisfaction with GAS for financial auditors. System quality impacts GAS satisfaction for only IT auditors and has no impact on GAS use for either type of auditor. Service quality influences use of GAS for financial, but not IT auditors. For both groups, service quality has no impact on satisfaction with GAS, and GAS use and satisfaction with GAS positively increases their perceptions of audit benefits. ,Financial and IT auditors who use GAS are both focused on matching GAS use with their primary audit objectives. Results suggest that as GAS use increases, system quality may be important to satisfaction. Training should first focus on the usefulness of GAS to the audit to increase extent of use. Lastly, the more auditors use GAS and are satisfied with it, the greater their perception GAS contributing directly to benefit the audit.
Individual variability in functional organization of the human and monkey auditory cortex

Accumulating evidence shows that auditory cortex (AC) of humans, and other primates, is involved in more complex cognitive processes than feature segregation only, which are shaped by experience-dependent plasticity and thus likely show substantial individual variability. However, thus far, individual variability of ACs has been considered a methodological impediment rather than a phenomenon of theoretical importance. Here, we examined the variability of ACs using intrinsic functional connectivity patterns in humans and macaques. Our results demonstrate that in humans, functional variability is 1) greater near the non-primary than primary ACs, 2) greater in ACs than comparable visual areas, and 3) greater in the left than right ACs. Remarkably similar modality differences and lateralization of variability were observed in macaques. These connectivity-based findings are consistent with a confirmatory task-based fMRI analysis. The quantitative proof of the exceptional variability of ACs has implications for understanding the evolution of advanced auditory functions in humans.

THE COMPETITIVE DETERMINANTS STRATEGY AND ITS IMPACT ON COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE (STUDY OF SOLAR PANEL INDUSTRY IN INDONESIA)

Several studies have reviewed New-Renewable Energy management, but very few studies focus on the study of Competitive Strategies and Competitive Advantages in the business of Renewable Photovoltaic Energy production. This study tries to fill the gap of the literature. This study uses the Structural Equation Modelling approach to data collected through questionnaires. Observations were made on the Directors who work in the company that focus on the management of Renewable Energy Photovoltaic in Indonesia. The results show that the development of competitive strategy is not influenced by external factors of the company. External factors also have no effect on competitive advantage either directly or indirectly. However, Product innovation plays a role in the formation of competitive strategies, and indirectly influences competitive advantage of Renewable Energy management company in Indonesia.
Attractor-like spatial representations in the Subicular Complex network

Distinct computations are performed at multiple brain regions during encoding of the spatial environments. Neural representations in the hippocampal, entorhinal and head direction (HD) networks during spatial navigation have been clearly documented, while the representational properties of the Subicular Complex (SC) network is rather unexplored, even though it has extensive anatomical connections with various brain regions involved in spatial information processing. Here, we report a global cue controlled highly coherent representation of the cue-conflict environment in the SC network, along with strong coupling between HD cells and Spatial cells. We propose that the attractor dynamics in the SC network might play a critical role in orientation of the spatial representations, thus providing a “reference map” of the environment for further processing at other networks.
The incidence of turnip yellows virus in oilseed rape crops (
 
 Brassica napus
 
 L.) in three different regions of England over three consecutive growing seasons and the relationship with the abundance of flying
 
 Myzus persicae

Turnip yellows virus (TuYV) is the most important virus infecting oilseed rape in the UK. The incidence and spatial distribution of TuYV in winter oilseed rape (WOSR) crops in three regions of England was determined over three growing seasons. Leaf samples were collected from three fields in each region, in autumn (November–December) and spring (April) of the three crop seasons and tested for virus presence by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Infection was detected in all fields except one. Higher TuYV incidences were recorded in the 2007–08 (<89%) and 2009–10 (<100%) crop seasons than in 2008–09 (<24%). Highest incidences were recorded in Lincolnshire (<100%), followed by Warwickshire (<88%), with lowest incidences in Yorkshire (1–74%). There was a significant increase in incidence detected between autumn and spring sampling in eight fields, a significant decrease in one field and no significant change in 18 fields. Rothamsted Insect Survey suction trap data for the aphid Myzus persicae in Lincolnshire, Warwickshire and Yorkshire revealed two peaks of flight activity in most years (2007–2009). The second peak (September–November) coincided with emergence of WOSR. The highest cumulative (August–November) trap catches in the three regions during the three crop seasons occurred in Lincolnshire and the lowest in Yorkshire; catches in autumn 2009 were highest and lowest in autumn 2008. Regression analysis revealed a highly significant association between the cumulative numbers of M. persicae caught in the suction traps closest to the crops between August and November each year and the incidence of TuYV detected in the WOSR crops in the autumn of each year. Results are discussed in the light of factors affecting the spread of TuYV and future possibilities for control.

In Sri Lanka colorecatal cancer accounts for 7% of all malignancies with about 810 new cases diagnosed annually. It is the fourth commonest malignancy in males and fifth among females [3]
Study of cardiovascular manifestation in Hypothyroidism patients admitted in tertiary care center hamidia hospital bhopal

Hypothyroidism characterized by low metabolic state because of reduced thyroid hormone which leads to reduced metabolic processes. [1] Hypothyroidism is common in that it affects 2% of adult women and 0.1-0.2% of adult men. Thyroid hormones acts directly on cellular receptors on almost all tissues of the body. Deficiency of thyroid leads to deranged multi-organ function [2]. Cardiovascular complications are some of the severe and treatable clinical findings associated with thyroid disease. Hypothyroidism is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, cardiac involvement ranges from systolic and diastolic dysfunction to heart failure and coronary heart disease. Most of These complications are reversible. Hence The aim of study is early diagnosis and aggressive treatment to prevent the complication.
Hysteresis phenomena in gravity–capillary waves on deep water generated by a moving two-dimensional/three-dimensional air-blowing/air-suction forcing

Hysteresis phenomena in forced gravity–capillary waves on deep water where the minimum phase speed $c_{min}=23~\text{cm}~\text{s}^{-1}$ are experimentally investigated. Four kinds of forcings are considered: two-dimensional/three-dimensional air-blowing/air-suction forcings. For a still-water initial condition, as the forcing speed increases from zero towards a certain target speed ($U$), there exists a certain critical speed ($U_{crit}$) at which the transition from linear to nonlinear states occurs. When $U<U_{crit}$, steady linear localized waves are observed (state I). When $U_{crit}<U<c_{min}$, steady nonlinear localized waves, including steep gravity–capillary solitary waves, are observed (state II). When $U\approx c_{min}$, periodic shedding phenomena of nonlinear localized depressions are observed (state III). When $U>c_{min}$, steady linear non-local waves are observed (state IV). Next, with these state-II, III and IV waves as new initial conditions, as the forcing speed is decreased towards a certain target speed ($U_{final}$), a certain critical speed ($U_{crit,2}$) is identified at which the transition from nonlinear to linear states occurs. When $U_{crit,2}<U_{final}<U_{crit}$, relatively steeper steady nonlinear localized waves, including steeper gravity–capillary solitary waves, are observed. When $U_{final}<U_{crit,2}$, linear state-I waves are observed. These are hysteresis phenomena, which show jump transitions from linear to nonlinear states and from nonlinear to linear states at two different critical speeds. For air-blowing cases, experimental results are compared with simulation results based on a theoretical model equation. They agree with each other very well except that the experimentally identified critical speed ($U_{crit,2}$) is different from the theoretically predicted one.
