The Effect of a Plant-Based Supplement on Hypertension and Other Indicators of Cardiovascular Disease

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of a nutritional supplement on hypertension. Thirty subjects between 30 and 78 years of age were randomized to receive either a whole-food, plant-based supplement (n=15) or a multi-vitamin supplement (n=15). Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate were assessed at baseline and at 30, 60 and 90 days. At baseline and 90 days, subjects were also tested on body composition, lipids, homocysteine, C-reactive protein, ALT/AST, urine albumin, mental and physical functioning and exercise habits. The results of the study indicated that participants on the whole-food, plant-based supplement experienced a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic BP within the first 30 days of the trial. The effect was also significant at 60 and 90 days, but tended to plateau after 60 days. Subjects taking the multi-vitamin also showed improvements in their BP response, but the responses were only slightly less different after the 60-day follow-up period. None of the other associations demonstrated significance. These findings suggest that a whole-food nutritional supplement may offer an alternative strategy for persons with hypertension for improving BP within 60 days. However, future studies are needed with a larger sample and a longer follow-up period to determine if the improvements persist over time.

The online health care revolution: how the web helps americans take better care of themselves

The online health care revolution: How the Web helps Americans take better care of themselves Analyst Zoe Hudson were very helpful in the drafting of several survey questionnaires and the analysis of the results. The sections of this report that deal with privacy issues were written with their assistance. Our two projects will also issue a joint report in the coming months that will assess the implications for the Internet health community – both consumers and companies – of the health-privacy rules that will soon be issued by the federal Department of Health and Human Services. The Internet's powerful influence on " health seekers " Fifty-two million American adults, or 55% of those with Internet access, have used the Web to get health or medical information. We call them " health seekers " and a majority of them go online at least once a month for health information. A great many health seekers say the resources they find on the Web have a direct effect on the decisions they make about their health care and on their interactions with doctors. • 48% of these health seekers say the advice they found on the Web has improved the way they take care of themselves; and 55% say access to the Internet has improved the way they get medical and health information. • 92% of health seekers say the information they found during their last online search was useful; 81% said they learned something new. • 47% of those who sought health information for themselves during their last online search say the material affected their decisions about treatments and care. Half of these health seekers say the information influenced the way they eat and exercise. • 36% of those who sought health information for someone else during their last online search say the material affected their decisions on behalf of that loved one. For the 21 million health seekers who say they were swayed by what they read online the last time they sought health information, the impact was as follows: • 70% said the Web information influenced their decision about how to treat an illness or condition. • 50% said the Web information led them to ask a doctor new questions or get a second opinion from another doctor. • 28% said the Web information affected their decision about whether or not to visit a doctor. The Internet is a tool …
Contextualized Property Market Models vs. Generalized Mass Appraisals: An Innovative Approach

The present research takes into account the current and widespread need for rational valuation methodologies, able to correctly interpret the available market data. An innovative automated valuation model has been simultaneously implemented to three Italian study samples, each one constituted by two-hundred residential units sold in the years 2016–2017. The ability to generate a “unique” functional form for the three different territorial contexts considered, in which the relationships between the influencing factors and the selling prices are specified by different multiplicative coefficients that appropriately represent the market phenomena of each case study analyzed, is the main contribution of the proposed methodology. The method can provide support for private operators in the assessment of the territorial investment conveniences and for the public entities in the decisional phases regarding future tax and urban planning policies.

The Effect of Using Mobile Banking Services Applications on Electronic Word of Mouth: The Mediating Role of Perceived Trust

The objective of this study is to examine selected dimensions of mobile banking, (such as Ease of Navigation, Personalization Level, Information Quality, Rewards) on e-wom through the mediating role of perceived trust. Self-structured questionnaire is used to collect data which is then shared via Google forms online and targeted only to the users of mobile banking services application in Jordan. Quantitative and analytical methods were used to analyze the data. 499 questioners were returned, 30 of which were rejected as they were not using mobile banking service applications. 469 of the questionnaires were accepted and analyzed using reliability test analysis, descriptive statistics and regression process. The findings of the study indicate that there is a statistically significant effect of mobile banking (Ease of Navigation, Personalization Level, Information quality, Rewards) through the mediation role of perceived trust on relationships between using mobile banking services and e-wom. It is recommended that banks pay more attention to mobile banking and build powerful and good E-WOM in order to spread the use of mobile banking rapidly.
Global infectious disease surveillance and detection : assessing the challenges, finding solutions : workshop summary

Early detection is essential to the control of emerging, reemerging, and novel infectious diseases, whether naturally occurring or intentionally introduced. Containing the spread of such diseases in a profoundly interconnected world requires active vigilance for signs of an outbreak, rapid recognition of its presence, and diagnosis of its microbial cause, in addition to strategies and resources for an appropriate and efficient response. Although these actions are often viewed in terms of human public health, they also challenge the plant and animal health communities. Surveillance, defined as "the continual scrutiny of all aspects of occurrence and spread of a disease that are pertinent to effective control", involves the "systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of health data. " Disease detection and diagnosis is the act of discovering a novel, emerging, or reemerging disease or disease event and identifying its cause. Diagnosis is "the cornerstone of effective disease control and prevention efforts, including surveillance. " Disease surveillance and detection relies heavily on the astute individual: the clinician, veterinarian, plant pathologist, farmer, livestock manager, or agricultural extension agent who notices something unusual, atypical, or suspicious and brings this discovery in a timely way to the attention of an appropriate representative of human public health, veterinary medicine, or agriculture. Most developed countries have the ability to detect and diagnose human, animal, and plant diseases. Global Infectious Disease Surveillance and Detection: Assessing the Challenges -- Finding Solutions, Workshop Summary is part of a 10 book series and summarizes the recommendations and presentations of the workshop.

Accordingly, this paper aims to clarify the intellectual structure of business model through identifying the research clusters and their sub-clusters, the prominent relations and the dominant research trends.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses some common text mining methods including co-word analysis, burst analysis, timeline analysis and topic modeling to analyze and mine the title, abstract and keywords of 14,081 research documents related to the domain of business model.FindingsThe results revealed that the business model field of study consists of three main research areas including electronic business model, business model innovation and sustainable business model, each of which has some sub-areas and has been more evident in some particular industries. Additionally, from the time perspective, research issues in the domain of sustainable development are considered as the hot and emerging topics in this field. In addition, the results confirmed that information technology has been one of the most important drivers, influencing the appearance of different study topics in the various periods.Originality/valueThe contribution of this study is to quantitatively uncover the dominant knowledge structure and prominent research trends in the business model field of study, considering a broad range of scholarly publications and using some promising and reliable text mining techniques.
Analyzing Student Satisfaction in the Technical and Vocational Education System through Collaborative Teaching

The sustainable development of science and environmental education is a core mechanism in the world education system. The implementation of the goal of establishing science and environmental education comprehensively in higher education, especially in vocational education, poses a challenge. Basic vocational education is a category of the education system, as well as sustainable development, which involves the technical and vocational education (TVE) system (20–30 general/compulsory/elective credits required). Awareness of the sustainable development in science and environment is getting more and more emphasized by educators. For students’ learning to use, it was recommended that universities use education for sustainable development (ESD) in TVE programs. This study proposes clarifying whether anticipating the needs of TVE university students is more conducive for them. Also, for the global understanding about innovative education, the “awareness of the sustainable development in science and environment” was involved in our experimental items. The learning satisfaction derived from students from the collaborative teaching of the industry experts in the TVE system is another point of focus. Students who take the course attend six weekly three-hour periods in class. An e-learning system is utilized so that learning resources created by industry experts can be provided. The deployment facilitates the evaluation of basic vocational education because teaching is not only performed in a traditional class but also prompted via a valuable e-learning system. The results showed that “Level of respect during the collaborative teaching of industry experts” (mean = 3.93; S.D. = 0.751) was rated by students as satisfactory and “Overall efficiency of teaching materials” (mean = 3.47) was rated as the lowest of the items. “Awareness of the sustainable development in science and environment” (mean = 3.86; S.D. = 0.752) was rated by students as highly satisfactory. To verify the result, an analysis of the improvement of learning satisfaction is discussed. Practical implications and future work are also discussed.
Using the Same Provider for Financial Statement Audit and Assurance of Extended External Reports: Choices and Consequences

Independent assurance of extended external reports (EER) is one of the most significant trends in today’s global assurance profession. When companies decide to purchase third-party assurance on EER, they need to decide whether to engage their financial statement auditor or a different assurance provider. We examine factors that impact this decision, and the consequences of this decision on financial statement audit quality and cost. We find that independence concerns are associated with companies choosing different EER assurance providers from their incumbent financial statement auditors, while providers’ expertise in EER assurance and the recent trend of integrating non-financial information into the annual report promote the use of the same provider. We further find some evidence that companies with the same provider attesting to both financial statements and EER benefit from having higher financial statement audit quality without paying significantly different audit fees.
The Role of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in the Immunotherapy of HER2/neu-Positive Breast Carcinomas

Abstract : We have found myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) to be the major inhibitors of adoptively transferred anti-HER2/neu T cells in vivo. Depletion of these cells results in tumor inhibition coupled with increased anti-HER2/neu antibody titers. Significantly, we have found that the combination of the chemotherapeutic drug gemcitabine, which selectively inhibits MDSC, with adoptive immunotherapy results in complete tumor rejection, elevated antibody titers, and immunological memory capable of rejecting further tumor challenge. Additionally, the generation of de novo MDSC from the bone marrow is dependent on GM-CSF, which is frequently used as an adjuvant in the immunotherapy setting. Based on these findings, we propose that the use of GM-CSF with immunotherapies be re-evaluated and suggest that immunotherapy should be administered in conjunction with gemcitabine for the inhibition of MDSC.

Safety Climate Assessment of Furniture Industry: A Case Study

Lack of safety awareness has caused many losses including accidents cost, insurance cost as well as indirect costs. Most of work accidents occurred due low perception of work safety. A measurement of safety climate for workers and head department should be considered to figure the condition of safety climate out. The assessment of safety climate is using Nordic Safety Climate Questionnaire (NOSACQ-50). The significance of differences in the safety climate between workers and head department is determined by Mann-Whitney test. The study was conducted on 100 worker samples spread across 10 production departments and 10 head departments in a furniture manufacture. The result shows that the safety climate level is quite low at the management safety justice, workers’ safety priority and risk non-acceptance dimensions. The safety climate of head departments shows a good enough result on the 4 dimensions and need an improvement on the 3 other dimensions. There are differences in perceptions between workers and head departments on commitment and competence of management, the management safety justice, workers’ safety priority and risk non-acceptance dimensions.
