The Influence of Business Location and Word of Mouth on Purchasing Decisions

A strategic business location that is close to the target market is one of the factors that researchers believe can influence consumer purchasing decisions. This close location will make consumers decide to purchase, be satisfied, and communicate with other consumers to encourage enthusiastic other consumers to share purchasing decisions with producers who have sales points in strategic locations. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the influence of business location and word of mouth on consumer purchasing decisions. This research is quantitative research with an explanatory approach that uses a questionnaire method in collecting data. The questionnaire was distributed to Indomaret and Alfamart consumers spread throughout Indonesia with the criteria of having shopped at least 3 times. The questionnaire contains statements of agree, strongly agree, disagree, strongly disagree, and neither agree nor the same on the 16 question items asked. The result thi research show the Business Location variable can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on Purchasing Decisions because the P-Values value is positive and is below the significance level of 0.036. This is in line with the researcher's statement and the direction of the questionnaire questions above which shows that a strategic business location can increase purchasing decisions because it is easy to reach, close, and does not take a lot of time. Thus, the first researcher's hypothesis and beliefs can be justified and accepted. Apart from that, the results of the second research hypothesis and beliefs also show the same results if the Word of Mouth variable has a positive relationship and a significant influence on Perchase Decision because the P-Values value is positive and is below the 0.05 significance level, namely 0.029. It is reasoned that word of mouth or word of mouth communication between consumers can increase purchasing decisions and enthusiasm between consumers.

The fully integrated circuit of the RFEH system with the ultralow power consumption is designed and implemented in this article, including the receiving antenna, matching circuit, RF-dc rectifier circuit, and power management unit. The key parameters are calculated and simulated, and the power consumption model of the system is established. Optimization of the power consumption is conducted. The overall power conversion efficiency of the microwatt-level RFEH system is 31.77%, which has potential application in fields, such as wireless energy transmission and portable device power supply. The circuit is designed and implemented based on Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company limited (TSMC) CMOS 0.18-μm technology.
Basement composition and basin geometry controls on upper-crustal deformation in the Southern Central Andes (30–36°S)

Abstract Deformation and uplift in the Andes are a result of the subduction of the Nazca plate below South America. The deformation shows variations in structural style and shortening along and across the strike of the orogen, as a result of the dynamics of the subduction system and the features of the upper plate. In this work, we analyse the development of thin-skinned and thick-skinned fold and thrust belts in the Southern Central Andes (30–36°S). The pre-Andean history of the area determined the formation of different basement domains with distinct lithological compositions, as a result of terrane accretions during Palaeozoic time, the development of a widespread Permo-Triassic magmatic province and long-lasting arc activity. Basin development during Palaeozoic and Mesozoic times produced thick sedimentary successions in different parts of the study area. Based on estimations of strength for the different basement and sedimentary rocks, calculated using geophysical estimates of rock physical properties, we propose that the contrast in strength between basement and cover is the main control on structural style (thin- v. thick-skinned) and across-strike localization of shortening in the study area.
A Genetic Approach to the Management and Conservation of the Hartebeest (Alcelaphus Buselaphus) in Kenya

A lot of effort is put on 'proximate' threats to conservation, overlooking the 'ultimate' conservation goals in the process. Ultimately, attempts need to be made to conserve not just individuals or populations, but processes that have been on-going over vast geographical space and long evolutionary time, such as gene flow and natural selection. So far, little is known about these historical processes that decisions affecting the management of species in fragmented landscapes are always made without any systematic information. Fortunately, these processes can be largely reconstructed from natural patterns of DNA sequence variation that persist to the present day within and among populations. Adopting genetic tools, a suite of evolutionary issues critical to the conservation of hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus) in Kenya was addressed. This species is naturally subdivided, but is declining over much of its range in Africa or has already gone locally extinct. Active management is required to restore and conserve the natural population structure of this species. However the genetic information needed to form the basis of these important processes is still lacking. The objectives of this study were to elucidate the phylogeography and the genetic structure of hartebeest populations in Kenya, using cytoplasmic (mitochondrial DNA) markers. The genetic history of Alcelaphus buselaphus lelwel (A.b. lelwel) and A.b. cokii, and the focal Laikipia population of central Kenya, were emphasized. A minimum of 489 base pairs in the mitochondrial D-Ioop region were sequenced in 75 individuals, representing 6 localities in Kenya and northern Tanzania, and including two of the 7 extant hartebeest 'subspecies' (A.b. cokii and A.b. lelwel). Samples were obtained from Laikipia, Ruma National Park (NP), Naivasha (Kongoni Sanctuary), Nairobi NP, Serengeti NP and
Prognostic significance of serum dynamin‑related protein 1 in patients with heart failure: Findings from a prospective observational study

Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a critical role in the development and exacerbation of heart failure (HF). Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), a key regulator of mitochondrial fission, influences cardiac energy metabolism. The present study investigated the relationship between serum Drp1 levels and the prognosis of patients with HF across a broad spectrum. Serum Drp1 concentrations were measured using ELISA. The primary outcome was the risk of composite major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), which included instances of cardiac death and HF-related readmissions. To assess the prognostic significance of serum Drp1, a receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed to predict MACE-free survival. Additionally, an optimal threshold value for Drp1 was determined and was used to stratify patients into different risk categories. A total of 256 HF patients were finally included and categorized into two groups based on their serum Drp1 levels, labeled as the low (Drp1 ≤2.66 ng/ml, n=101) and high group (Drp1 >2.66 ng/ml, n=155). Patients with low serum Drp1 concentrations showed impaired heart structure and function, as assessed by echocardiography. The 6-month follow-up results indicated that patients with reduced Drp1 concentrations faced a substantially increased risk of MACEs (21.1% vs. 2.8%; P<0.001). The present study revealed that diminished serum Drp1 concentrations could potentially act as a predictive marker for the prognosis of HF in a broad patient population.
Influence of Phytohormones on Growth, Yield and Quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicon L.) in irrigated ecosystems of Punjab, India

The present study was conducted at the research farm and Horticulture lab of Sant Baba Bhag Singh University, Punjab during the year 2020 and 2021. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design comprising of 9 treatments (T0 - Control, T1 - GA3 @ 20 ppm, T2 - GA3 @ 30 ppm, T3 - GA3 @ 40 ppm, T4 - NAA @ 15 ppm, T5 - NAA @ 20 ppm, T6 - NAA @ 25 ppm, T7 - GA3 @ 30 ppm + NAA @ 20 ppm, T8 - GA3 @ 40 ppm + NAA @ 25 ppm) with three replications. Findings of the present study revealed that treatment T8 - GA3 @ 40 ppm + NAA @ 25 ppm resulted in highest number of leaves per plant (56), plant height (82.46 cm), number of flowers per plant (44.8), number of fruits (22.9), fruit diameter (5.83 cm), fruit weight (50.27 g), TSS (5.32 o Brix), fruit yield per plot (20.68 kg/plot) and fruit yield per hectare (344.69 q/ha). Hence, it is successfully established that the application of GA3 + NAA can be helpful in enhancing the yield and quality parameters of tomato crop thereby, improving the socio-economic status of the tomato growers.
Electromagnetic High-Frequency Transients Measurements of Some Household Devices

Voltage Transients are generated in power lines and emit both low-frequency electromagnetic fields and radio-frequency radiation. This study aims to highlight its existence and detrimental effects on human health. A comprehensive literature review is presented, encompassing studies by multiple authors exploring the topic of dirty electricity, its impact on well-being, and preventative measures. The electromagnetic spectrum analysis and measurements of both electric and magnetic fields are performed on various household appliances such as hair dryers, old televisions, blenders, heaters, toasters, vacuum cleaners, and microwaves. The findings indicates that microwaves and compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) bulbs exhibit similar spectral characteristics, with high-frequency voltage transients primarily originating from these two devices. Conversely, other appliances do not generate significant high-frequency voltage transients (HFVT). Overall, dirty electricity poses a substantial risk to human health and necessitates attention to minimize its adverse consequences.
Was marine faunal diversity in the Pleistocene affected by changes in sea level?

We have investigated whether changes in marine faunal diversity during the Pleistocene would have been affected by changes in sea level. Our estimate of changes in area of shallow marine seas between low stand and high stand of sea level (approximately 200 m) leads to a prediction of approximately a 25% change in species diversity, 10% change in generic diversity and less than a 5% change in familial diversity. This agrees with the observation that large scale generic or familial changes have not been widely noted for the Pleistocene. As in other intervals of geologic time, changes in the sizes of faunal provinces owing to changes in sea level are less likely to be the significant factor in changing marine diversity than are changes in the number of faunal provinces.
High-throughput determination of Hubbard U and Hund J values for transition metal oxides via linear response formalism

Hubbard U and Hund J values provide a measure of the self-interaction between correlated electrons, and are crucial parameters in the formalism of density functional theory with a “plus U” correction, known as DFT+U and DFT+U+J . The linear response (LR) methodology has proven to be a computationally effective and self-contained method for computing accurate U and J values. This study provides a high-throughput computational analysis of the U and J values applied to transition metal d-electron states in a representative set of magnetic transition metal oxides (TMOs). In a less conventional pursuit, over two hundred system-specific U and J corrections are calculated for oxygen 2p on-site occupations. The distributions of values are analyzed for structures containing manganese, iron and nickel-containing compounds, with sample sizes of over 150 for each species. In addition, periodic tables of U and J values are presented for transition metal and oxygen species from a combined data set of over 800 TMO compounds. Our work provides a frame of reference for researchers who utilize DFT+U to study TMO materials, and to gain insight into the distribution of U values that may be relevant to their applications. An atomate workflow is presented for calculating U and J values automatically on massively parallel supercomputing architectures. To validate this method, the spin-canting magnetic structure and unit cell parameters of a known multiferroic, olivine LiNiPO4, are predicted using the computed Hubbard U and Hund J values for Ni-d and O-p on-site occupancies, and are compared with experiment. It was confirmed that in addition to Ni-d U values, applying a separate Hund J to Ni-d has a strong effect on Ni-moment canting angle. Additionally, including a O-p U value results in a significantly improved agreement between DFT-computed lattice parameters and experiment.
Metrology in sEMG and movement analysis: the need for training new figures in clinical rehabilitation

A new educational curriculum for the next generation of physical and occupational therapists is urgent in order to manage the recent fast advances in sensors, measurement technologies and related instrumentation. This is required by the growing role of STEM in rehabilitation, kinesiology, and sport sciences. Surface EMG technology is used in this work as a representative example of similar problems present in movement analysis, exoskeletons, and many other fields. A review of the most relevant articles and international projects in the field of interfacing physical therapy with measurement technology for quantitative assessment of outcome is presented. It is concluded that a new generation of educators is needed as well as a Ph.D. and/or a clinical doctorate degree in physical therapy, still lacking in many countries. It is urgent to consider knowledge translation since it will take many years before any recommended change in teaching will be accepted and show some effect. A call for a “white paper” on rehabilitation metrology is highly auspicable.
Feeding kinematics of a surgeon ﬁ sh reveal novel functions and relationships to reef substrata

Biting to obtain attached benthic prey characterizes a large number of ﬁ sh species on coral reefs, and is a feeding mode that contributes to important ecosystem functions. We use high-speed video to reveal the mechanisms used by a surgeon ﬁ sh, Acanthurus leucosternon , to detach algae. After gripping algae in its jaws, the species pulls it by ventrally rotating both the head and the closed jaws, in a novel use of the intra-mandibular joint. These motions remain in the plane of the ﬁ sh, reducing the use of a lateral head ﬂ ick to detach the algae. The novel ability to bite and pull algae off the substrate without bending the body laterally minimizes exposure to high water ﬂ ows, and may be an adaptation to feeding in challenging reef habitats such as the crest and ﬂ at. Therefore, our results could potentially represent a key milestone in the evolutionary history of coral reef trophodynamics
The State-of-art Searching Scenarios for Dark Matter Candidate: Evidence from Axion and WIMPs

In recent years, the dark matter still remains a mysterious in astrophysics and cosmology. So far, none of the candidate of dark matter is searched, even based on the state-of-art detection scenarios and facilities. With this in mind, this study comprehensively discusses dark matter's historical origins, research significance, and an overview of recent developments in this field. To be specific, the focus is placed on two candidate particles for dark matter: axions and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The ADMX project is discussed in detail concerning axions, emphasizing the utilization of susceptible detectors and instruments for large-scale searches across various mass ranges. Additionally, experiments such as XENON and LZ are examined to provide deeper insights into the existence of WIMPs. The article also addresses the limitations of current investigations and offers prospective directions for future research endeavors in dark matter. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of dark matter searching.
The effects of social media on second language learning: a case study of five selected secondary schools in Chilanga district

As a product of technological advancements, social media has come with it a significant change of the way people live and share information. The primary purpose of this study is to find out the effects of social media on second language learning. It is unquestionable that social media influence the writing and speaking of English. With the aim of exploring the effects of social media on second language learning: how it is affecting writing and speaking of English as second language among secondary school learners, this research was conducted at 5 selected secondary schools in Chilanga District of Lusaka urban. A sample of thirty (30) teachers and forty (40) pupils were respectively selected from Three public school in Lusaka. Qualitative method was applied during data analysis. The results of the study indicated that social media has several and immense effects on second language learning on the writing and speaking of secondary school pupils with the negative effects outweighing the positive effects. Through the findings of the study, it was established that social media also has negative influence on the learner’s ability to distinguish formal and informal language as is the case with the current situation. The students use short form of words, incorrect grammar and sentence structure in their formal writing and speaking unconsciously, which are the effects of social media as students are now much more familiar with those types of language.
Aliasing in InSAR 2-D Phase Unwrapping and Time Series

We quantify and characterize an often-overlooked error source in interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and derived time series: aliasing from insufficiently sampled interferograms in space and time. Conditions that lead to unrecoverable aliasing, namely, when true phase gradients greater than $\pi $ rad per pixel form a closed loop, result in a biased loss in unwrapped phase magnitude that is proportional to the number of high-gradient ( $>\! \! \pi $ ) loops encircling a pixel. High-gradient interferogram loops are influenced by the radar system wavelength, its spatial resolution, imaging geometry, and the local noise level. Furthermore, spatial filtering may induce further aliasing because it decreases the spatial resolution and, consequently, the physical gradient tolerance. We show here that beyond aliasing in a single interferogram, there follows a similar loss in time series, which we demonstrate with small baseline subset (SBAS) techniques. We find that aliasing has an intimate relationship with the time between image acquisitions as the displacement field evolves; consequently, aliasing errors often increase with increasing temporal baseline, and we observe a systematic decrease in SBAS solution magnitudes and a spatiotemporal distortion of displacement patterns with increasing maximum temporal baseline. Sentinel-1 observations of three study areas (Kilauea Volcano, the Delaware Basin, and California’s Central Valley) show that some of the best time-series solutions with respect to ground truth include long-temporal baseline interferograms and others require their explicit exclusion, suggesting there is a delicate balance between aliasing and noise reduction that not only varies between study areas, but may even be unique to each pixel.
Prevalence of Lip and Palate Clefts and the Related Factors in Babies Born From 2014 to 2019 in Karaj, Iran

Background: Cleft lip and palate are the most common congenital anomalies in the head and neck region, which are affected by environmental and genetic factors. These defects can cause serious problems such as deformity, nutritional, respiratory and social interactions for patients. Objective: The current study was performed to investigate the frequency of cleft lip and palate and its related factors in infants born in Karaj’s hospitals during 2014 to 2018. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on the case of newborns. The studied population included 91,563 cases of babies born between 1993 and 1997 in Kamali, Imam Ali (AS), Maryam and Qaim hospitals in Karaj. Of these, 46 babies were identified with various types of oral clefts. The information of the files was collected and analyzed with SPSS v24 statistical software. Results: The prevalence of oral cleft was 0.5 per thousand live births. (26.08%) of infants had cleft lip, (52.17%) cleft palate, and (21.73%) cleft lip and palate (P = 0.024). 56.52% of male babies (P = 0.37), 76.08% of mothers in the age group of 20 to 30 years with an average age of 24.4 years, 58.69% of first pregnancy mothers, 13.03% of parents, history Family marriage (P< 0.001), and 37% of mothers had blood type A in the file (P = 0.11). Conclusion: The prevalence of oral clefts in Karaj is lower than the global statistics and other regions of the country.
Visual-, Olfactory-, and Nectar-Taste-Based Flower Aposematism

Florivory, i.e., flower herbivory, of various types is common and can strongly reduce plant fitness. Flowers suffer two very different types of herbivory: (1) the classic herbivory of consuming tissues and (2) nectar theft. Unlike the non-reversibility of consumed tissues, nectar theft, while potentially reducing a plant’s fitness by lowering its attraction to pollinators, can, in various cases, be fixed quickly by the production of additional nectar. Therefore, various mechanisms to avoid or reduce florivory have evolved. Here, I focus on one of the flowers’ defensive mechanisms, aposematism, i.e., warning signaling to avoid or at least reduce herbivory via the repelling of herbivores. While plant aposematism of various types was almost ignored until the year 2000, it is a common anti-herbivory defense mechanism in many plant taxa, operating visually, olfactorily, and, in the case of nectar, via a bitter taste. Flower aposematism has received only very little focused attention as such, and many of the relevant publications that actually demonstrated herbivore repellence and avoidance learning following flower signaling did not refer to repellence as aposematism. Here, I review what is known concerning visual-, olfactory-, and nectar-taste-based flower aposematism, including some relevant cases of mimicry, and suggest some lines for future research.
