Reexamining brand loyalty and brand awareness with social media marketing: A collectivist country perspective

: Purpose : This study seeks to advance the literature by examining the mediating role of brand loyalty and the moderating impact of brand awareness in the relationships between social media marketing and collectivist Chinese behavior in the hospitality service context. This exploration is grounded in brand commitment and expectancy disconfirmation theories. Methods :Empirical testing was conducted on survey data gathered from 150 collectivist Chinese customers in Hong Kong, utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results :Brand loyalty plays a partial mediating role in the relationships between social media marketing and purchase intention as well as word-of-mouth. Additionally, brand awareness exerts a negative moderating influence on social media marketing-brand loyalty link. Implications :Recommendations are provided for front-line staff tasked with addressing communication challenges by effectively managing the hotel’s social media account. They are strongly advised to steer clear of creating face-threatening situations and to demonstrate respect for the loyalty of Chinese collectivist customers. Furthermore, a negative brand awareness effect emerges when collectivist Chinese customers compare hotel brands with online travel agents.
DATA TRANSPARENT AUTHENTICATION USING QOD IN HYBRID NETWORKS

— Hybrid networks are next generation of wireless networks that could be a combination of Mobile wireless adhoc (MANET) networks and Wireless Infrastructure networks. They are increasingly utilized in wireless communications that are extremely supporting real time transmission with restricted Quality of Service. Invalid reservation and race condition issues happens in MANET. In existing system, QoS-Oriented Distributed routing protocol (QOD) is employed to boost the QoS support capability of hybrid networks, it transforms the packet routing problem to resource scheduling problem that has 5 algorithms. They are, QoS guaranteed neighbor selection algorithm, Distributed packet scheduling algorithm, Mobility based segment resizing algorithm, Traffic redundant elimination algorithm and Data redundancy elimination based transmission algorithm. The main drawback of hybrid networks is so far examined in minimum transmission hops and has less beneficial feature with restricted number of mobile access points, mobility speeds, and mobile workloads and with different network sizes. It will extremely perform on random way point model and less in real mobility model. This paper present Data Transparent Authentication to authenticates data streams by adjusting interpacket delay. Data Transparent Authentication while not Communication overhead is an approach which reduces breakdown of original information or sends out of band authentication data. ___________________________________________________________________________

Influence of Preparation Methods and Nanomaterials on Hydrophobicity and Anti-Icing Performance of Nanoparticle/Epoxy Coatings

Despite their effectiveness in preventing icing, hydrophobic coatings possess drawbacks such as susceptibility to detachment and limited wear resistance, leading to inadequate longevity in melting ice/snow. To enhance the surface stability and durability of superhydrophobic coatings, nanoparticle/epoxy formulations were developed using three types of nanoparticles, two dispersion techniques, three application methods, and two epoxy resin introduction approaches. Testing encompassed water contact angle measurements, assessment of ice adhesion force, and determination of icing rates on asphalt concrete coated with these hydrophobic formulations. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was employed to analyze the molecular structures of the coatings, while scanning electron microscopy facilitated observation of the surface morphology of the hydrophobic coatings. The findings indicated that nano-ZnO, TiO2, and SiO2 particles could be modified into hydrophobic forms using stearic acid. Application of the hydrophobic coating improved the concrete’s hydrophobicity, reduced ice adhesion strength on both concrete and asphalt, and delayed the onset of icing. Furthermore, optimal dosages of stearic acid, nanoparticles, and epoxy resin were identified as crucial parameters within specific ranges to ensure the optimal hydrophobicity and durability of the coatings.
Toxic Relationships Described by People With Breast Cancer on Reddit: Topic Modeling Study

Background Social support is essential to promoting optimal health outcomes for women with breast cancer. However, an estimated 12% of women with breast cancer simultaneously experience intimate partner violence (IPV; physical, psychological, or sexual abuse by an intimate partner). Women who experience IPV during breast cancer may lack traditional social support, and thus seek out alternative sources of support. Online community forums, such as Reddit, can provide accessible social connections within breast cancer–specific communities. However, it is largely unknown how women with breast cancer use Reddit to describe and seek support for experiences of IPV. Objective This study aims to explore how patients with breast cancer describe toxic relationships with their partners and immediate family members on Reddit. Methods This exploratory, cross-sectional, topic-modeling study analyzed textual data from 96 users in the r/breastcancer subreddit in February 2023. The meaning extraction method, inclusive of principal component analysis, was used to identify underlying components. Components were subjected to sentiment analysis and summative content analysis with emergent categorical development to articulate themes. Results Seven themes emerged related to toxic relationships: (1) contextualizing storytelling with lymph nodes, (2) toxic behavior and venting emotions, (3) abandonment and abuse following diagnosis, (4) toxic relationships and social-related fears, (5) inner strength and navigating breast cancer over time, (6) assessing social relationships and interactions, and (7) community advice and support. Toxic relationships were commonly characterized by isolation, abandonment, and emotional abuse, which had profound emotional consequences for patients. Reddit facilitated anonymous venting about toxic relationships that helped patients cope with intense feelings and stress. Exchanging advice and support about navigating toxic relationships during breast cancer were core functions of the r/breastcancer community. Conclusions Findings emphasized the value of Reddit as a source of social support for patients with breast cancer experiencing toxic relationships. Clinicians who understand that many patients with breast cancer experience toxic relationships and considerable psychological sequelae are better prepared to support their patients’ holistic well-being. Further investigation of Reddit as a possible resource for advice, information, and support has the potential to help inform clinical practice and subsequently, patient health outcomes.
THE PROTECTIVE ROLE OF THYMOL AGAINST METHOMYL- INDUCED TOXICITY IN MALE RATS: CLINICO-BIOCHEMICAL, HISTOPATHOLOGICAL AND IMMUNO-HISTOCHEMICAL STUDIES

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the presumptive protective effect of thymol (T) against methomyl (M) - induced toxicity in male albino rats. Therefore, forty adult healthy male albino rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups as follow: control group, intoxicated group received methomyl (4 mg/kg b.wt./day), treated group received thymol (100 mg/kg b.wt.), and co-treated group received both methomyl and thymol with the previous doses. The treatment regimens were given orally three times a week, day after day, for eight weeks. Biochemically, the M- intoxicated rats revealed a significant increase in the serum aminotransferases (ALT& AST) and gamma glutamyle transferase (GGT) activities, total, direct and indirect bilirubin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), urea, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, in addition to a significant decrease in serum albumin and testosterone levels with a significant increase in the percentage of sperm abnormalities in comparison with the control rats. Regarding to the histopathological examination, M- intoxicated group showed degenerative and necrotic lesions in the hepatic, renal and testicular tissues. But, the co- treatment with thymol ameliorated the M- induced biochemical alterations, oxidative stress and apoptosis and improved tissues architecture. It could be concluded that co-treatment with thymol may provide a prolonged remedy against methomyl -induced toxicity.
Corrugator Muscle Activity Associated with Pressure Pain in Adults with Neck/Shoulder Pain

Background and Objectives: No studies have reported corrugator muscle activity associated with pain in people with pain. This study aimed to develop an objective pain assessment method using corrugator muscle activity with pressure pain stimulation to the skeletal muscle. Methods: Participants were 20 adults (a mean ± SD age of 22.0 ± 3.1 years) with chronic neck/shoulder pain. Surface electromyography (sEMG) of corrugator muscle activity at rest (baseline) and without and with pressure pain stimulation applied to the most painful tender point in the shoulder was recorded. Participants evaluated the intensity of the neck/shoulder pain and the sensory and affective components of pain with pressure stimulation using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The percentages of integrated sEMG (% corrugator activity) without and with pressure pain stimulation to the baseline integrated sEMG were compared, and the relationships between the % corrugator activity and the sensory and affective components of pain VAS scores were evaluated. Results: Without pressure stimulation, an increase in corrugator muscle activity due to chronic neck/shoulder pain was not observed. The % corrugator activity with pressure pain stimulation was significantly higher than that without stimulation (p < 0.01). A significant positive correlation between corrugator muscle activity and the affective components of pain VAS scores with pressure stimulation was found (ρ = 0.465, p = 0.039) and a tendency of positive correlation was found for the sensory component of pain VAS scores (ρ = 0.423, p = 0.063). Conclusions: The increase in corrugator muscle activity with pressure pain stimulation to the tender point in adults with chronic neck/shoulder pain was observed, although increased corrugator muscle activity resulting from the chronic neck/shoulder pain was not. These findings suggest that corrugator muscle activity with pressure pain stimulation can be a useful objective indication for tender point sensitivity assessment in the skeletal muscle with pain.
Pentraxin 3 Detects Clinically Significant Fibrosis in Patients with Chronic Viral Hepatitis C

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) plays a pathogenic role in experimental models of chronic liver injury and contributes to the progression of fibrosis. The detection of advanced fibrosis (METAVIR F≥3) is important to identify patients who are in urgent need of antiviral treatments versus those whose treatment could be deferred (F≥2). The aim was to assess the diagnostic value of PTX3 as a potential biomarker for clinically significant and advanced fibrosis. PTX3 associations with biochemical and histological parameters of inflammatory activity and fibrosis were investigated in 138 patients with chronic viral hepatitis C (HCV) before antiviral treatment. METAVIR histological scores of activity and fibrosis were obtained. PTX3 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The diagnostic accuracy of serum PTX3 levels was compared to that of other fibrosis markers, including transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF-β1), hyaluronic acid (HA), aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index (APRI), fibrosis score based on four factors (FIB4), gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase to platelet ratio (GPR), and the liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (FibroScan®). In HCV patients the PTX3 level increased in parallel with the METAVIR histological score of activity, being independently associated with the METAVIR fibrosis score (P < 0.001). Using the receiver operating characteristics analysis, the best marker for detecting F≥2 and F≥3 was PTX3 with AUC = 0.802 and AUC = 0.867, respectively. The area under the curve of PTX3 for predicting significant fibrosis (F≥2) was significantly greater than those for the GPR ratio (AUC = 0.648) and FIB-4 score (AUC = 0.770) and similar to that for APRI index (AUC = 0.831). PTX3 provided clinically relevant diagnostic accuracy as a single marker of significant fibrosis.
Asynchronous Pattern of MAPKs’ Activity during Aging of Different Tissues and of Distinct Types of Skeletal Muscle

The MAPK p38α was proposed to be a prominent promoter of skeletal muscle aging. The skeletal muscle tissue is composed of various muscle types, and it is not known if p38α is associated with aging in all of them. It is also not known if p38α is associated with aging of other tissues. JNK and ERK were also proposed to be associated with aging of several tissues. Nevertheless, the pattern of p38α, JNK, and ERK activity during aging was not documented. Here, we documented the levels of phosphorylated/active p38α, Erk1/2, and JNKs in several organs as well as the soleus, tibialis anterior, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, and EDL muscles of 1-, 3-, 6-, 13-, 18-, and 24-month-old mice. We report that in most tissues and skeletal muscles, the MAPKs’ activity does not change in the course of aging. In most tissues and muscles, p38α is in fact active at younger ages. The quadriceps and the lungs are exceptions, where p38α is significantly active only in mice 13 months old or older. Curiously, levels of active JNK and ERKs are also elevated in aged lungs and quadriceps. RNA-seq analysis of the quadriceps during aging revealed downregulation of proteins related to the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) and ERK signaling. A panel of mRNAs encoding cell cycle inhibitors and senescence-associated proteins, considered to be aging markers, was not found to be elevated. It seems that the pattern of MAPKs’ activation in aging, as well as expression of known ‘aging’ components, are tissue- and muscle type-specific, supporting a notion that the process of aging is tissue- and even cell-specific.
Identification of High Energy Gamma Particles From the Cherenkov Gamma Telescope Data Using a Deep Learning Approach

Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes have enabled recent breakthroughs in gamma-ray astronomy, enabling the study of high-energy gamma particles in over 90 galactic and extragalactic regions. The significance of this work arises from the complexity of the data captured by the telescope. Traditional methods may struggle to effectively distinguish between gamma (signal) and hadron (background) events, due to intricate temporal relationships inherent in the data. The dataset used for this research, sourced from the UCI ML repository, simulates the registration of gamma particles. The challenge is to develop a classification model that accurately identifies these gamma events while handling inherent data complexities and normalizing skewed distributions. To address this challenge, a classification model is developed using ten features from the MAGIC gamma telescope dataset. This research introduces the innovative application of deep learning techniques, specifically Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and Bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM), to the field of gamma-ray astronomy to classify high-energy gamma particles detected by the Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Furthermore, the research introduces the application of square root transformation as a method to address skewness and kurtosis in the dataset. This preprocessing technique aids in normalizing data distributions, which is crucial for accurate model training and classification. By leveraging the power of deep learning and innovative data transformations, the best accuracy of 88.71% is achieved by the LSTM+ReLU model with three layers for gamma and hadron particle classification. These findings offer insights into fundamental astrophysical processes and contribute to the advancement of gamma-ray astronomy.
The application of gene-editing technologies in plants

In recent years, we have witnessed a spurt of progress in modern molecular biology, thus enabling the perfection of genome sequencing. As a result, research into gene function has gained popularity among scientists. Since gene editing has served as an essential tool for the exploration of plant gene function, the utilization of genome editing technology contributes most to the genetic upgrading and crop breeding through modification on plant genome. Typical cases where CRISPR/Cas system has been applied to model species including Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana tabacum and Oryza sativa to alleviate salinity stress and figure out the gene behind traits relative to their architecture and yield. The modified CRISPR/Cas9 system requires only simple cloning compared with the other two types of gene editing tools and the design of target sequences is easy, the construction of backbone vectors is simple, and the cost is relatively low. The CRISPR/Cas9 system, which was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, has transformed the molecular life sciences by enabling researchers to accurately modify the DNA of animals, plants, and microorganisms. This review thoroughly introduced gene editing technologies currently applied in plants, including map cloning, RNAi technology and targeted genome editing technology, containing ZFNs, TALEN, CRISPR/Cas9. The review revealed the difficulties and potential uses of genome editing technology in plants while concentrating on its theory and viability.
A Multi-Agent Model Based on Rooted Leadership Structure and General Dynamics and Self-Adaptive Mechanism

This paper proposes a first-order multi-agent model that overcomes the limitations of previous models by incorporating rooted leadership structure, general nonlinear dynamics, and self-adaptive feedback mechanisms. The model consists of multiple agents positioned in a multidimensional space and a virtual leader with environmental perception. Each agent follows fixed general nonlinear dynamics, whereas the group’s leadership structure follows an asymmetric fixed-coupling topology. The model is stable if certain mild assumptions about the agents’ dynamics and group coupling topology are satisfied, as proven using the Lyapunov function method. In order to verify the effectiveness of this model in group outdoor motion, simulation results demonstrate that all agents ultimately dynamically form a cohesive swarm and follow the virtual leader’s movement toward the destination, even in cases where the movements of all agents have a certain degree of randomness or in cases that the model scaled up to a much higher number of agents.
Modified RCTU Score: A Semi-Quantitative, Visual Tool for Predicting Alzheimer’s Conversion from aMCI

This research evaluated the modified RCTU score, derived from amyloid PET scans, for predicting the progression from amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). aMCI patients underwent baseline evaluations, including amyloid PET. AD conversion was identified through neuropsychological tests after observation. The RCTU was modified by segmenting frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes into left and right, resulting in seven areas. Scores from both modified and conventional RCTU were analyzed and compared. Among 45 patients, 12 progressed to AD (over 17.8 ± 6.8 months). AD converters showed higher scores in modified RCTU scores. Modified RCTU score had strong correlations with amyloid SUVR (r > 0.7). Modified RCTU sum score was the significant covariate of AD conversion. Modified RCTU could determine the asymmetry of amyloid deposits. We demonstrated that symmetric deposits of amyloid showed a higher risk for AD conversion when analyzed using modified RCTU. The modified RCTU score is a promising method for predicting AD conversion, correlating strongly with amyloid SUVR.
