Transparency of Behavior-Based Pricing

Behavior-based pricing (BBP) refers to the practice in which firms collect consumers’ purchase history data, recognize repeat and new consumers from the data, and offer them different prices. This is a prevalent practice for firms and a worldwide concern for consumers. Extant research has examined BBP under the assumption that consumers observe firms’ practice of BBP. However, consumers do not know that specific firms are doing this and are often unaware of how firms collect and use their data. In this article, the authors examine (1) how firms make BBP decisions when consumers do not observe whether firms perform BBP and (2) how the transparency of firms’ BBP practice affects firms and consumers. They find that when consumers do not observe firms’ practice of BBP and the cost of implementing BBP is low, a firm indeed practices BBP, even though BBP is a dominated strategy when consumers observe it. When the cost is moderate, the firm does not use BBP; however, it must distort its first-period price downward to signal and convince consumers of its choice. A high cost of implementing BBP serves as a commitment device that the firm will forfeit BBP, thereby improving firm profit. By comparing regimes in which consumers do and do not observe a firm’s practice of BBP, the authors find that transparency of BBP increases firm profit but decreases consumer surplus and social welfare. Therefore, requiring firms to disclose collection and usage of consumer data could hurt consumers and lead to unintended consequences.
The association between residential arrangements and academic performance in UK university students

ABSTRACT In contrast with many European nations, university students in the United Kingdom have traditionally relocated for their higher education (HE). However, with rising fees and diversification of the student body, an increasing number are remaining in their parental or own home whilst they attend a local university or commute to a HE provider. For these students, evidence suggests that future employability and earning potential may differ, relative to course mates who relocated. The impact of commuting and/or living at home on other key outcomes has received only limited attention amongst researchers, practitioners and policymakers. The current study draws on academic performance data from over 14,000 students attending a UK University. Using postcode information, we identified students who had relocated in order to study. In a novel approach, we further divided the remaining students into those who lived in an existing home close to the University, or those who commuted from afar to attend. Results indicate that students’ residential profile does not impact their chances of passing modules but may influence whether they achieve the highest grades. Lower grades were consistently observed amongst commuter students. Of additional importance, a gender effect emerged, whereby the established trend for male under performance was not observed for young men who remained in an existing home.

Effect of surgical trauma on serum magnesium levels in the early postoperative period

In around 300 enzymes, magnesium acts as a cofactor. These enzymes are involved in many biological reactions. These reactions are vital in cell metabolism, they regulate the blood glucose levels, useful in the synthesis of the proteins, also maintain the health of cardiovascular system etc. Bone contains around fifty percent of total body magnesium. And remaining quantity is found in soft tissues. As for other minerals, the levels of magnesium in the body are governed by excretion rate and absorption rate of the magnesium. ABSTRACT
Polygenic Risk for Depression is Associated with the Severity and Rate of Change in Depressive Symptoms Across Adolescence

Adolescence marks a period where depression will commonly onset and previous research using twin studies has suggested that genetic influences play a role in how depression develops and changes across adolescence. Recent genome-wide association studies have also shown that common genetic variants – which can be combined into a polygenic risk score (PRS) – are also implicated in depression. However, the role of PRS in adolescent depression and changes in adolescent depression is not yet understood. We aimed to examine the association between a PRS for depressive symptoms and depressive symptoms across adolescence and young adulthood, and how polygenic risk is associated with changes in depressive symptoms using two methods: cross-sectional analysis and multilevel growth curve modelling to examine the rate of change over time. Using data from over 6000 participants of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) we examined associations between genetic liability to depressive symptoms (PRS for depressive symptoms) and self-reported depressive symptoms (short mood and feelings questionnaire over 9 occasions from 10-24 years). We examined cross-sectional associations at each age and longitudinal trajectories of depressive symptoms in a repeated measures framework using growth curve analysis. The PRS was associated with depressive symptoms throughout adolescence and young adulthood in cross-sectional and growth curve analyses, though associations were stronger in the latter analyses. Growth curve analyses also provided additional insights, demonstrating that individuals with a higher PRS had steeper trajectories of depressive symptoms across adolescence with a greater increasing rate of change. These results show that common genetics variants as indexed by a PRS for depressive symptoms influence both the severity and rate of change in adolescent depressive symptoms. Longitudinal data that make use of repeated measures designs have the potential to provide greater insights into the factors that influence the onset and persistence of adolescent depression.
Faunistic analysis of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) in a guava orchard and semideciduous forest fragment in Central-West Region of Brazil

The fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritoidea), are the dipteran with greater economic importance, including pest species of various fruit crops such as guava. For the management of these pests, it is essential to know what species are present in the culture, as well as in the surrounding native vegetation, which may serve as a reservoir for these species. The objective of this research was to characterize and compare through faunistic analysis (frequency, abundance, constancy, equitativity, richness and diversity) populations of Anastrepha Schiner and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) and a commercial guava orchard in a fragment of adjacent native semideciduous forest in Central-West Region of Brazil. The fruit flies were collected from January 2008 to March 2009, through McPhail traps containing 5% solution of corn syrup. A total of 4,180 fruit fly specimens were collected in the forest fragment, and 20,108 in the guava orchard. Besides C. capitata, nine species of Anastrepha were found in the forest, with A. undosa Stone occurring exclusively in this ecosystem. In the orchard, C. capitata and eleven Anastrepha species were collected, three of them exclusively found in this ecosystem: A. amita Zucchi, A. zenildae Zucchi, and A. distincta Greene. The species A. sororcula Zucchi and A. fraterculus (Wiedemann) were classified as superabundant, constant, superdominant and superfrequent in both ecosystems. The species richness and abundance were higher in the guava orchard than in the forest fragment.
Protest voting in the laboratory

Formal analysis predicts that the likelihood of an electoral accident depends on the preference intensity for a successful protest, but not on the protest's popularity: an increase in protest's popularity is fully offset by a reduction in the individual probability of casting a protest vote. By conducting the first laboratory experiment on protest voting, we find strong evidence in favor of the first prediction and qualified support for the latter. While the offset effect is present, it is not as strong as the theory predicts: protest candidates gain both by fanaticising existing protesters and by expanding the protest's popular base.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) utilizing a high-sensitivity panel to detect minimal residual disease post liver hepatectomy and predict disease recurrence.

3522Background: Preliminary data suggests that ctDNA can serve as a marker of minimal residual disease following colorectal cancer (CRC) tumor resection. Applicability of current ctDNA testing is limited by the requirement of sequencing known individual tumor mutations. We explored the applicability of a multi-gene panel ctDNA detection technology in CRC. Methods: Plasma was prospectively collected from CRC patients (pts) undergoing hepatic resections with curative intent between 1/2013 to 9/2016. In a blinded manner 5ml of preoperative (preop) and immediate post-operative (postop) plasma were tested using a novel 30kb ctDNA digital sequencing panel (Guardant Health) covering SNVs in 21 genes and indels in 9 genes based on the landscape of genomic alterations in ctDNA from over 10,000 advanced cancer pts with a high theoretical sensitivity (96%) for CRC. Median unique molecule coverage for this study is 9000 for cfDNA inputs ranging from 10 – 150 ng (media input preop = 27 ng, median input postop = 49 ng).
Conflicting signal in transcriptomic markers leads to a poorly resolved backbone phylogeny of chalcidoid wasps

Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) are a megadiverse superfamily of wasps with astounding variation in both morphology and biology. Most species are parasitoids and important natural enemies of insects in terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, we present a transcriptome‐based phylogeny of Chalcidoidea; we found that poorly resolved relationships could only be marginally improved by adding more genes (a total of 5591) and taxa (a total of 65), proof‐checking for errors of homology and contamination, and decreasing missing data. Concatenation analyses consistently place Mymaridae and Trichogrammatidae sister to remaining Chalcidoidea. However, our coalescent analyses provide a different hypothesis with a grouping of (Mymaridae (((Trichogrammatidae, Eulophidae), (Encyrtidae, Aphelinidae)), remaining Chalcidoidea)). This hypothesis complicates our hypothesis of egg parasitism as being the ancestral state in Chalcidoidea. At the deeper nodes, the results uncovered a wide spectrum of gene discordance in the transcriptomic markers and identified a strong signal of functional bias in genes supporting alternative phylogenies. These deeper nodes of the phylogeny are thus strongly influenced by biased support from different functional gene complexes. Shallower nodes showed similar gene discordance, but without strong functional bias. Understanding and identifying mechanisms that result in gene tree discordance may be beneficial and even essential for elucidating deeper relationships, especially for groups that have undergone extremely rapid radiation.
CEO Tenure, Corporate Social Performance, and Corporate Governance: A Korean Study

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between Chief Executive Officer (CEO) tenure and corporate social performance with the moderating effect of governance. We investigated whether new CEOs and CEOs in their last year of service were more focused on short-termism than CEOs of other periods. Specifically, we tested whether these CEOs reduced social performance that demands immediate expenditure and expect payoffs in the long run. We also tested whether good governance can mitigate such behaviors, because not all CEOs of the same tenure will act the same, depending on the monitoring environments surrounding them. We employed ordinary least squares (OLS) method and the moderator models using data from the Korean listed companies from 2012 to 2016. Test results showed that only the CEOs of their last year reduced social performance. However, when we considered corporate governance, we found that both groups of CEOs reduced social performance, and that good governance mitigated the adverse effects of the two periods on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Specifically, we tested board independence, board frequency, CEO duality, and board diversity, and found that, for all but board independence, the negative effects of the two periods on social performance were decreased.
What’s in a post? How sentiment and issue salience affect users’ emotional reactions on Facebook

ABSTRACT We investigate the effects of sentiment and issue salience on emotionally labeled responses to posts from political actors on Facebook (i.e., Reactions). We use an automated content analysis of Facebook posts and voter survey data in a multilevel negative binomial regression approach. Findings show that the sentiment of a post relates to the number of “Love” and “Angry” Reactions. Furthermore, if a post addresses an issue that constituents perceive as salient, this positively influences the number of “Angry” Reactions only. We also find that the effect of sentiment on “Angry” Reactions is highest when issue salience is low.
THE LINKS BETWEEN SUICIDAL BEHAVIOUR AND ENDORSEMENT OF MYTHS ABOUT SUICIDE IN YOUNG PEOPLE

For many years in Lithuania the rate of suicide mortality has been remarkable in magnitude, especially in the young population. Social and public health determinants, risk behaviour issues, prevention and control of suicide in teenagers and young people needs urgent attention. The aim of the study was to investigate the self-reported perception of young people - the university students concerning suicide, the myths and reality on this phenomenon, and the links between suicidal behaviour and endorsement of myths about suicide. The self-reported survey was conducted in the university settings. The results of the survey showed that young people lack knowledge about the phenomenon of suicide and suicidal behaviour, and they still believe myths about suicide. The study revealed that one-fifth of young people had suicidal thoughts, and boys along with urban residents and suicidal family were at higher risk. Half of the students surveyed self-reported suicidal peers in their environment. Young people lack knowledge on suicide prevention, and preventive events. The study revealed that raising awareness, obtaining knowledge, and providing information to young people on the phenomenon of suicide, suicidal behaviour, and warning signs of possible attempt and suicide risk are the priority issues. Suicide prevention activities on individual, community, local and national levels need to be addressed.
Understanding Infidelity Forgiveness: An Application of Implicit Theories of Relationships

Abstract Two studies were conducted to identify variables associated with hypothetical infidelity forgiveness and promote forgiveness by manipulating implicit theories of relationships (ITRs; destiny/growth beliefs). Study 1 assessed the relationship between the type of behaviour, sex of the forgiver, ITRs and infidelity forgiveness. Study 2 investigated the causal relationship between ITRs and infidelity forgiveness (including attachment insecurity as a moderator). Results revealed that male participants forgave a partner's infidelity to a greater extent than female participants and that solitary behaviours were rated as most forgivable, followed by emotional/affectionate and technology/online behaviours, and sexual/explicit behaviours as least forgivable. Male participants (not female participants) induced to endorse growth beliefs forgave a partner's emotional/affectionate and solitary infidelity to a greater extent than those induced to endorse destiny beliefs; attachment insecurity moderated this relationship. These results have important implications for researchers and practitioners working with couples in distress.
Prevalence of Nosocomial Infection in Different Wards of Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad

Background: The CDC defines a nosocomial infection as a localized or systemic condition caused by an adverse reaction to the presence of an infectious agent(s) or its toxin(s). It is an infection that occurs between 48 to 72 hours after admission of patients in the hospital or as soon after the hospital discharge and on the admission time, patients don’t have this infection. Objectives: This study aimed to characterize the prevalence of nosocomial infection in Ghaem hospital, Mashhad, Iran. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in all wards of the Ghaem hospital, Mashhad during the 1 year period (2013); the data were collected from the wards records and HIS system and analyzed by the SPSS software (version16). Results: In the present study, of total 35979 hospitalized patients in different wards of the Ghaem hospital was reported 1.1% of nosocomial infection. In the meantime, overall, the most prevalent organism was Acinetobacter baumannii with a prevalence of 37.2% and the minimum was linked to the Bacillus species with a prevalence 0.3%. The highest and lowest prevalence of the nosocomial infection was in the ICU and CCU with 49.9% and 0.3%, respectively. In general, among all wards of the mentioned hospital, the most frequent nosocomial infection was pneumonia (47.4%) and the lowest belonged to CSF (2.3%). Conclusions: In our study, the ICU ward was accounted for the highest rate of nosocomial infection, due to the critical importance of this ward. Preventive measures and survivelance system for reduction of nosocomial infections is needed.
EFFECT OF CAREER INFORMATION ON KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY AMONG SCIENCE STUDENTS IN SELECTED SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS IN GREATER ACCRA.

Purpose : To determine the accuracy and the source of the knowledge of physiotherapy among senior high school students. Relevance: Making an informed career choice is key to both personal and professional development in the advancement of a career. Participants: Convenience sampling method was used to select a total of 325 public and private senior high school students. Methods: The experimental study design employed convenience sampling method to select a total of 325 public and private senior high school students . A self structured questionnaire in close –question format was used to determine the student's accuracy of knowledge and the sources of information about physiotherapy, after which a lecture on physiotherapy was given to one group of students the other group received no lectures. A second questionnaire was administered after a two week period. Analysis: The SPSS version 13.0 was used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the data. Student Unpaired t-test was used to determine statistical differences between the mean of the variables. Significant level was set at 0.05 alpha. Results: 71.1% of the students had some information about physical therapy. The physiotherapy task that most students (84%) identified was "instructs a patient in exercises. " The task least familiar which the students (26%), was `works in industries. " Sources of information about physiotherapy was media (73.6%) with 54.6% being television. Significant differences were found with the public students being more accurate in their knowledge of physiotherapy (mean score of 11.1 on a scale of 0.0 -14. 0). There was no significant difference in the accuracy of knowledge of physiotherapy in gender and seniority in both groups. Conclusions: There is no significant difference between students who receive the career information and those who did not. There seems to be misconceptions about certain aspects of the profession. Implications: Periodic education of the public particularly key stakeholders to the profession is crucial to effectively market the profession in the right way.
