The present study explores the business development, revenue generation, minimization of cost and reaching the customers. The paper explains the gaps between tourism business and ICT influence and suggests measures to fill the gaps in tourism enterprises. The strategic goal is to integrate ICT with tourism that will enable more accessibility, visibility of information, availability of variety of products and satisfaction.
Paper based large area Graphene/MoS2 visible light photodetector

The paper describes an approach to fabricate large area Graphene (Gr)/MoS2 on paper using simple, cost effective solution processed hydrothermal method. Gr was deposited on paper using dip coating method followed by hydrothermal growth of 2D MoS2 on Gr. Raman analysis confirmed the growth of few layer MoS2. IV characteristic of MoS2, MoS2/Gr revealed higher conductivity for Gr/MoS2. Under illumination 31.84 % and 55.33 % decrease in resistance was observed for MoS2 and Gr/MoS2 based devices respectively indicating that Gr/MoS2 based devices are more sensitive compared to MoS2. Successful fabrication of flexible paper based Gr/MoS2 photodetector is a step ahead in large area, low cost electronic applications.
Controversies in Acral Lentiginous Melanoma

BACKGROUNDAcral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is a subtype of melanoma initially described only two and half decades ago, but well-recognized by dermatologists today. However, several areas of controversy surround this entity. OBJECTIVEThe primary aims of this article are to review the literature, highlight recent advances, and review some of the ongoing controversies in ALM. METHODSA review of the English language literature was performed. RESULTSControversy continues to surround ALM, particularly in regard to diagnostic histologic and clinical criteria. This leads to difficulties when reviewing studies that evaluate the epidemiology, etiology, and prognosis of ALM. CONCLUSIONProgress in understanding ALM requires the development of standardized diagnostic criteria.
A single mismatch in the DNA induces enhanced aggregation of MutS

Changes in the oligomeric status of MutS protein was probed in solution by dynamic light scattering (DLS), and corroborated by sedimentation analyses. In the absence of any nucleotide cofactor, free MutS protein [hydrodynamic radius (Rh) of 10–12 nm] shows a small increment in size (Rh 14 nm) following the addition of homoduplex DNA (121 bp), whereas the same increases to about 18–20 nm with heteroduplex DNA containing a mismatch. MutS forms large aggregates (Rh>500 nm) with ATP, but not in the presence of a poorly hydrolysable analogue of ATP (ATPγS). Addition of either homo‐ or heteroduplex DNA attenuates the same, due to protein recruitment to DNA. However, the same protein/DNA complexes, at high concentration of ATP (10 mm), manifest an interesting property where the presence of a single mismatch provokes a much larger oligomerization of MutS on DNA (Rh>500 nm in the presence of MutL) as compared to the normal homoduplex (Rh≈ 100–200 nm) and such mismatch induced MutS aggregation is entirely sustained by the ongoing hydrolysis of ATP in the reaction. We speculate that the surprising property of a single mismatch, in nucleating a massive aggregation of MutS encompassing the bound DNA might play an important role in mismatch repair system.
Conditional models for detecting lambda-functions in a spoken language understanding system

In this paper 1 , methods are proposed for hypothesizing lambda-expressions of referred objects in telephone dialogues. Relations between words, semantic constituents and their composition into lambda-expressions are modeled by conditional random ﬁelds (CRF), in which functions integrate manually derived template patterns with words and concept hypotheses. Substantial error reductions are obtained using these functions instead of just using words and concept n-grams. Manually derived patterns and models appear to be very useful and not difﬁcult to obtain by generalizing signiﬁcant examples fetched by the presence of speciﬁc semantic constituents.
Serostatus surveillance testing of HIV-I infection among Zimbabwean psychiatric inpatients, in Zimbabwe.

OBJECTIVE To investigate seroprevalence rates of HIV infection among Zimbabwean psychiatric inpatients. DESIGN An identity-unlinked procedure, for ELISA and Western blot HIV testing of consecutively admitted psychiatric patients, was used during the four month period of the study. The seropositive groups were further categorized along the WHO case definition of HIV/AIDS infection criteria. The blood results were coded and linked to various demographic variables and risk factors. All data were measured at either nominal or ordinal levels. Comparisons between variables were made by chi-square test for proportion and independence. SETTING Harare Central Hospital Psychiatric Unit, Harare, Zimbabwe. SUBJECTS A total of 143 inpatients (60.8 pc males and 39.2 pc females), mean(SD) age 32.5 (10.5) years and the mean(SD) duration of psychiatric illness of 4.21 (1.7) years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Prevalence of HIV/AIDS infection among psychiatric patients. RESULTS The seroprevalence rate of HIV infection was 23.8pc and was significantly related to high education attainment (p < 0.03) and unemployment status of the patients (p < 0.03). CONCLUSION There is an urgent need to develop and apply preventive interventions for HIV infected psychiatric patients.

Findings – To adopt a “Sustainable Packaging Logistics” approach allows for a proactive integration of the efficiency and sustainability in supply chains. The proposal to implement “sustainable packaging logistics”, based on four cornerstones and three stages of evolution is.
Focal Nodular Hyperplasia in Identical Twins

A unique case of a focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) in identical twins is presented. The computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen demonstrated in both twins a mass of identical size in the same segment of their liver. Histopathologic examination of both masses confirmed the diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia. This case report strongly supports the theory of a congenital vascular anomaly playing a major role in the etiology of focal nodular hyperplasia.
Design of dual-band substrate integrated waveguide filter using frequency transformation method

A dual-band substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filter is designed in this paper. This design is based on the frequency transformation from the normalized frequency domain to the actual frequency domain, which can calculate the coupling coefficients and the external quality factors analytically. In the realization, the dual-band resonator is utilized to replace each capacitance in the low-pass prototype circuit as the building block of the dual-band filter. To validate the method, a practical SIW dual-band filter is designed and fabricated with passbands at 5.85–5.95GHz and 6.05–6.15GHz, respectively, which has a maximum return loss of 15 dB in each passband.
Attitude towards Using Mobile Banking in Malaysia: A Conceptual Framework

Despite various researches has been carried out on mobile banking adoption but only a small quantity of studies were conducted in Malaysia. As a result, literature on the key determinants of the intention to a dopt mobile banking within Malaysia is insufficient. Therefore, there is a need to comprehend the factors influencing the intention to adopt mobile banking services in the Malaysian market. This research fills the gap by integrating Technology Acceptance M odel (TAM) with perceived risk and perceived cost. The main objective of the study is to determine the factors that influences the intention to adopt mobile banking services. This conceptual study reviews the past literatures and proposes eight research hy potheses interlinking eight variables that are Usefulness, Easefulness, Relative advantage, Perceived risk, Attitude Towards Using, Perceived Cost, Age, Education and Intention to Adopt Mobile Banking. The paper concludes with a discussion of the future of mobile banking in Malaysia.
A Game Theory Approach to Antifraud Legislation in China's Social Insurance Funds

Social insurance fraud is a worldwide phenomenon; the deterrence of it is one of the most important tasks for governments and social insurance agencies. This paper develops a mixed strategy Game model of regulators and the regulated beneficiaries (regulatees) in the disbursal of social insurance benefits, and establishes each side’s best strategies during the game process. Based on China’s civil law, criminal law and social insurance law, using the results of mixed strategy Nash Equilibrium analysis, it is possible to conclude that fraud punishment should be specified by law and regulations when regulatees commit malpractices; regulators should pursue low-cost offsite regulation in the mean time use the rules of rewards and punishments according to work efficiency. Based on the analysis of game theory, legislative suggestions should be provided to develop laws and regulations in China, such as social insurance funds supervision and management regulation, and social insurance antifraud regulation.
More than Meets the Eye: A Primer for “Timing of Locomotor Recovery from Anoxia Modulated by the white Gene in Drosophila melanogaster”

Summary A single gene might have several functions within an organism, and so mutational loss of that gene has multiple effects across different physiological systems in the organism. Though the white gene in Drosophila melanogaster was identified originally for its effect on fly eye color, an article by Xiao and Robertson in the June 2016 issue of GENETICS describes a function for the white gene in the response of Drosophila to oxygen deprivation. This Primer article provides background information on the white gene, the phenomenon of pleiotropy, and the molecular and genetic approaches used in the study to demonstrate a new behavioral function for the white gene.
Calculation of the 1RSB transition temperature of spin glass models on regular random graphs under the replica symmetric ansatz

We study p-spin glass models on regular random graphs. By analyzing the Franz–Parisi potential with a two-body cavity field approximation under the replica symmetric ansatz, we obtain a good approximation of the 1RSB transition temperature for p = 3. Our calculation method is much easier than the 1RSB cavity method because the result is obtained by solving self-consistent equations with Newton’s method.
Development of a doorway occupancy counter based on thermal array sensing technology

This papers discusses current methodologies of determining occupancy count as well as current development progress of an embedded thermal array sensor capable of tracking motion within a sensing area. The proposed algorithm counts the net occupancy count by logging each entry and exit through a doorway of a room. Results show that net occupancy count has been found to be accurate for a one person case in each pass. The findings are promising which is why further development is needed to extend the scenario to multiple person case and perform actual experiment in a real world scenario to assess the system's accuracy in determining occupancy count for longer period of time.
The relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship : easy definition, hard policy

The paper argues that innovation is the combination of an inventive process and an entrepreneurial process to create new economic value for defined stakeholders and focuses on the policy implications of this duality. Attention is concentrated on summarising the entrepreneurial process and its importance to innovation policy and avoids any detailed elaboration of the invention process. A very brief overview of the invention process is followed by a moderately detailed summary of Hindle's (2008) model of entrepreneurial process. With an understanding and formal articulation of entrepreneurial process it becomes possible to focus on the key issues that ought to inform the development of innovation policy. These key issues are discussed and the paper concludes where it began by emphasising the need to build innovation policy on the explicit recognition that innovation results from the blending of two processes, invention and entrepreneurship, and that viable innovation policy can never be created unless entrepreneurial process is properly understood and addressed.
Leveraging External Sources of Innovation: A Review of Research on Open Innovation

This article reviews research on open innovation that considers how and why firms commercialize external sources of innovations. It examines both the “outside-in” and “coupled” modes of Enkel et al. (2009). From an analysis of prior research on how firms leverage external sources of innovation, it suggests a four-phase model in which a linear process — (1) obtaining, (2) integrating and (3) commercializing external innovations — is combined with (4) interaction between the firm and its collaborators. This model is used to classify papers taken from the top 25 innovation journals identified by Linton and Thongpapan (2004), complemented by highly cited work beyond those journals. A review of 291 open innovation-related publications from these sources shows that the majority of these articles indeed address elements of this inbound open innovation process model. Specifically, it finds that researchers have front-loaded their examination of the leveraging process, with an emphasis on obtaining innovations from external sources. However, there is a relative dearth of research related to integrating and commercializing these innovations.Research on obtaining innovations includes searching, enabling, filtering, and acquiring — each category with its own specific set of mechanisms and conditions. Integrating innovations has been mostly studied from an absorptive capacity perspective, with less attention given to the impact of competencies and culture (including not-invented-here). Commercializing innovations puts the most emphasis on how external innovations create value rather than how firms capture value from those innovations. Finally, the interaction phase considers both feedback for the linear process and reciprocal innovation processes such as co-creation, network collaboration and community innovation.This review and synthesis suggests several gaps in prior research. One is a tendency to ignore the importance of business models, despite their central role in distinguishing open innovation from earlier research on inter-organizational collaboration in innovation. Another gap is a tendency in open innovation to use “innovation” in a way inconsistent with earlier definitions in innovation management. The article concludes with recommendations for future research that include examining the end-to-end innovation commercialization process, and studying the moderators and limits of leveraging external sources of innovation.
Self-serving financial reporting communication : A study of the association between earnings management and impression management

Financial reporting communication involves a number of corporate disclosures, both mandatory and voluntary. In this paper, we take a comprehensi v approach to evaluating firm financial reporting communication strategy and examine the re lationship between earnings management in the audited financial statements and a number of im pression management techniques in annual results press releases. We are interested in assess ing the relationship between these two corporate self-serving reporting practices. Using a sample of Spanish quoted companies for the period 2005-2006 we first show that firms with greater ear nings management are less likely to issue an annual result press release. Amongst those that fin ally issue a press release, we find evidence that firms with greater earnings management also show gr eate impression management, indicating that managers that engage in self-serving disclosur e practices may do so at several levels of firm communication. According to this evidence, impressi on management and earnings management are complementary disclosure practices jointly used to manipulate the perception of outsiders about corporate performance.
Incident Handling Systems with Automated Intrusion Response

Incident handling, consisting of intrusion detection, alert processing and intrusion response, increases the resilience of IT systems under attack. Instead of providing a holistic solution, most existing Incident Handling Systems (IHS) focus on specific parts of this process. This work answers the question how to design, implement and integrate holistic IHSes into existing IT systems. This thesis conducts an analysis and provides an implementation of an IHS assesed with respect to applicability.
Cdc4p, a Contractile Ring Protein Essential for Cytokinesis inSchizosaccharomyces pombe, Interacts with a Phosphatidylinositol 4-Kinase*

The proposed function of Cdc4p, an essential contractile ring protein in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, is that of a myosin essential light chain. However, five conditionally lethal cdc4 alleles exhibit complementation in diploids. Such interallelic complementation is not readily explained if thesole function of Cdc4p is that of a myosin essential light chain. Complementation of cdc4 alleles could occur only if different mutant forms can assemble into an active oligomeric complex or if Cdc4p has more than one essential function. To search for other proteins that may interact with Cdc4p, we performed a two-hybrid screen and identified two such candidates: one similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Vps27p and the other a putative phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase. Binding of Cdc4p to the latter and to myosin heavy chain (Myo2p) was confirmed by immunosorbent assays. Deletion studies demonstrated interaction between the Cdc4p C-terminal domain and the PI 4-kinase C-terminal domain. Furthermore, interaction was abolished by the Cdc4p C-terminal domain point mutation, Gly107 to Ser. This allele also causes failure of cytokinesis. Ectopic expression of the PI 4-kinase C-terminal domain caused cytokinesis defects that were most extreme in cells carrying the G107S allele. We suggest that Cdc4p plays multiple roles in cytokinesis and that interaction with a PI 4-kinase may be important for contractile ring assembly and/or function.
Exercising Your Patient: Which Test(s) and When?

With the introduction of the stair climb test of surgical patients in the 1950s, the role of exercise-based testing as a useful diagnostic tool and an adjunct to conventional cardiopulmonary testing was established. Since then, we have witnessed a rapid development of numerous tests, varying in their protocols and clinical applications. The relatively simple “field tests” (shuttle walks, stair climb, 6-minute walk test) require minimal equipment and technical support, and so are generally available to physicians and patients. At the other end of the spectrum is the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), more complex in its equipment requirements, technical support, and with an often complex interpretive strategy. The 6-minute walk test (6MWT), in particular, has evolved into a versatile study with diagnostic utility in many disorders, including COPD, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, congestive heart failure, and in the pre-surgical evaluation of patients, among others. With the added dimensions of optional O2 saturation monitoring and calculated post-exercise heart rate recovery, the 6MWT is providing important clinical information well beyond the measure of distance walked. Is it sufficiently robust and informative to replace the more demanding and less available CPET? In many instances, the clinical applications are overlapping, with the 6MWT functioning as an adequate surrogate. However, in the initial evaluation of unexplained dyspnea, in formal evaluation of impairment and disability, in detailed evaluation of congestive heart failure, and in the selected lung cancer patient prior to resection, CPET remains superior. Investigations of portable metabolic and cardiovascular monitoring devices aiming to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of 6MWT may further narrow or close the remaining gap between these two exercise studies.
NONFAMILY EMPLOYEES' PERCEPTIONS OF PERSON-ORGANIZATION FIT AND VOLUNTARY TURNOVER IN FAMILY FIRMS.

The article investigates the employment of non-family employees by family firms. The opinions such employees hold regarding the procedures and policies of such firms, and the impact of these opinions on employee turnover, are analyzed. Theories of person-organization fit and stewardship are used to explain the effects of family influence on non-family employees' perceptions. It is said that up to two-thirds of all businesses may be owned or managed by family groups. The distinctive features of such arrangements, in terms of both facilitation and restriction, are addressed.
Impact of Brand Equity on Purchase Intention and Development, Brand Preference and Customer Willingness to Pay Higher Prices

This study presents a conceptual model that was designed by Bill and colleagues, and at the same time evaluates the creation of brand equity (perceived quality, brand awareness / brand associations, brand loyalty) and the effects on consumer responses (purchase intent, brand extension, willingness to pay a higher price, brand preference). Data collection was conducted using simple randomized method, data was collected from the stores and customers of Sony. Sampling was conducted using convenient method, with sample size being 384. Standardized questionnaire was used, whose validity was tested using content and construct validity test, and it reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha method. This was an applied research in terms of objective, a survey one in terms of data collected, and a correlation one in terms of relationship between variables. The results from test of hypotheses using LISREL (linear structural relations) and SPSS suggested that perceived quality had an effect of creation of brand equity, and brand equity had the highest effect on purchase intent.
