Chinese Customers' Perception of Korean Foods and Satisfaction and Revisit Intentions to Korean Cuisine Restaurants - A Focus on Visiting Experience and Frequency of Visits -

The purpose of this study was to investigate Chinese customers' perceptions of Korean foods and their satisfaction toward Korean cuisine restaurants. The subjects of this study were 202 Chinese individuals who visited Korean cuisine restaurants in Shanghai, China. The subjects viewed Korean foods as favorite foods and perceived them as fresh and seasonal, and mostly composed of cereals and vegetables however they did not view Korean cuisine as good for health. As compared to customers visiting a Korean restaurant for the first time, those who had visited Korean restaurants previously agreed more strongly with the following items: 'Korean food has a beautiful color', 'Korean food is familiar', 'Korean food smells good', 'Korean food is healthy', 'Korean food is nutritious', and 'Korean food is salty and spicy'. In addition, as compared to occasional visitors, frequent visitors of Korean cuisine restaurants more strongly agreed with the followings: 'Korean food has a beautiful color', 'Korean food is expensive', 'Korean food is healthy', 'Korean food is nutritious', 'Korean food is salty and spicy', and 'Korean food includes many fermented foods'. The subjects considered 'appearance of menu', 'variety of menu', 'nutrition of menu', and 'Chinese characters for menu and ingredients' as the most important attributes when choosing Korean cuisine restaurants. The frequent customers of Korean cuisine restaurants considered 'kind service', 'employee knowledge of Korean foods', 'operation hours of restaurant', and 'cleanliness of restaurant' as the most important restaurant attributes. In addition, the frequent customers of Korean cuisine restaurants were more satisfied than the occasional customers with the followings: 'nutritional quality of menu', 'quick service', 'cleanliness of restaurant', 'appearance and signboard of restaurant', and 'image of restaurant'. The implications of the data are discussed.
Shared sanitation facilities versus individual household latrines: use, pathogen exposure and health

A large and growing proportion of the world’s population rely on shared sanitation facilities. These have historically been excluded from international sanitation targets due to concerns about acceptability, hygiene and access. With the development of new targets and indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals, it has been proposed to include shared facilities as ‘improved’ sanitation based on the number of users, if the facility is of an ‘improved’ technology and if the users are known to each other. The aim of this research was threefold: i) to provide an overview of the available evidence on shared sanitation and outcomes related to health, access, use, operation and maintenance, gender and cost, ii) to describe the geographic and demographic scope of shared sanitation globally, and iii) to develop and pilot methods exploring factors that may explain any increased risk of adverse health outcomes associated with shared sanitation. Results from a systematic literature review on shared sanitation and health showed that households accessing shared sanitation facilities were more likely to suffer from ill-health, specifically diarrhoea. However, the methodological quality of the available studies was limited. The global analysis of household survey data showed that households sharing sanitation facilities were poorer, less educated and more likely to live in urban areas. The majority of households accessing shared sanitation were found in Africa and South-East Asia. The results from the literature review and household survey data led to the development of a cross-sectional study in Orissa, India. This study aimed to assess differences in shared and private sanitation access in 30 slums—both in terms of the users and the actual facilities. Results from this study show that households accessing shared sanitation were poorer, less educated and less likely to have water access in or near their home. In addition, significant differences in terms of cleanliness and presence of water were observed between private and shared facilities. Users of shared sanitation were more likely to continue practicing open defecation and significantly more cases of diarrhoea were reported by individuals living in these households. The underlying reasons for this potential increased risk of disease for users of shared sanitation are not clear, but the type of users, cleanliness of facilities and opportunities to practice good hygiene are all expected to play a role. As such, these factors may also be of importance, in addition to the number of users and sanitation technology, if a shared sanitation facility is expected to be considered ‘improved’ sanitation in future monitoring targets.
A comparison of the effect of two intervention regimes on coronary prone executives in the South African colliery industry

Corporate environment presently realises the importance of health promotion strategies to ensure health and productivity. In this pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental study, the effect of two intervention strategies (physical fi tness and an enriched physical fi tness programme) of 32 weeks on coronary prone colliery executives from six collieries in South Africa were studied. High risk executives volunteered to participate (availability sampling) resulting in a total of 143 participants (Group A: n = 77; Group B: n = 66). A reduction in six coronary risk factors was used to indicate the effectiveness of the intervention. The results of individuals presenting one or more coronary risk factors are reported. Statistical analysis indicated that signifi cant improvement was noted in many primary risk factors in the intra-group analysis. Regarding the inter-group changes no statistical differences occurred except for diastolic blood pressure in the pre-test. It was concluded that none of the two intervention regimes were superior to one another.

CpG oligodeoxynucleotides inhibit tumor growth and reverse the immunosuppression caused by the therapy with 5-fluorouracil in murine hepatoma

AIM: To investigate the effect of CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODN) alone or in combination with the chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on tumor growth and whether CpG ODN can reverse the immunosuppression caused by the chemotherapy with 5-FU in murine hepatoma model.METHODS: Hepatoma model was established by subcutaneous inoculation with hepatoma-22 (H22) cells into the right flank of BALB/c mice. Mice with tumor were treated by peritumoral injection of CpG ODN alone or in combination with subcutaneous injection of 5-FU. Tumor size was quantified regularly. Serum levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ in mice were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The lytic capacity of splenic NK cells was tested by lactate dehydrogenase release assay.RESULTS: Peritumoral injection of CpG ODN alone or in combination with subcutaneous injection of 5-FU, and the treatment with 5-FU alone all led to significant inhibition of hepatoma growth. The mean tumor volumes fell by 46.66% in mice injected with CpG ODN, 68.34% in the 5-FU treated mice, and 70.23% in mice treated with the combination of CpG ODN and 5-FU than in controls. There was no significant difference in tumor size between 5-FUtreated mice and mice treated with the combination of 5-FU and CpG ODN (P＞0.05). The serum levels of IL-12and IFN-γ of mice treated with CpG ODN alone (IL-12:464.50±24.37 pg/mL; IFN-γ:134.20±25.76 pg/mL) or with the co-administration of CpG ODN and 5-FU (IL-12:335.83±28.74 pg/mL; IFN-γ:111.00±5.33 pg/mL)were significantly higher than that of controls (IL-12:237.50±45.31 pg/mL; IFN-γ: 56.75±8.22 pg/mL). The production of IL-12 and IFN-γwas suppressed moderately in 5-FU-treated mice (IL-12:166.67±53.22 pg/mL;53.33±16.98 pg/mL) compared to control mice (P＞0.05),whereas the combination of CpG ODN and 5-FU significantly increased the serum levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ compared to 5-FU alone (P＜0.05). The NK cell killing activity in CpG ODNtreated mice (44.04±1.38%) or the mice treated with CpG ODN combined
NASAL CARRIAGE RATE OF COMMUNITY-AND HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS IN CHILDREN, KERMANSHAH, IRAN

Background : Staphylococcus aureus ( S.aureus ) is an importantpathogen in human infections.Some strains of S. aureus are methicillin-resistant (MRSA) andcause hospital- and community-acquired infections in children. The aims of this study were to determine nasalcarriage rate of S. aureus and susceptibility pattern of this organism to some antibioticsamong children in Kermanshah province, Iran. Methods : This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Kermanshah province, Iranfrom 2007 to 2008.Nasal swabs were obtained from 274 children who were hospitalized in our university hospital at the time of admission and 219 children upon dischargetime.If result of nasal culture was positive at admission time they considered community acquired and if result at admission time was negative but positive at discharge time they considered hospital acquired. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns of S.aureus were done by disk diffusion method and results were compared between them. Results : In 55 patients out of 274 cases (20.07%), S. aureus was demonstrated upon admission (community-acquired). In the remaining 219 cases, S. aureus was detected in 46 cases (21%) at discharge time (hospital-acquired). The rate of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in community- and hospital-acquired infections were 96.4% and 95.7%, respectively.We observed no statistical significance different in antibiotic resistance pattern between community acquired and hospital – acquired S.aureus except for co-triomoxcazol (P=0.034). Conclusion: A high rate of MRSA in both community- and hospital-acquired infections were observed. Keywords: Methicillin-resistant S. aureus; Child; MRSA; Nasal carier.
Biteprint: reconocimiento semiautomático de marcas dentales y comparación con moldes 3D

Una de las grandes dificultades con las que hay que lidiar frecuentemente en procesos judiciales en los que el agresor ha dado una o varias mordeduras a la victima es la dificultad para la identificacion objetiva del agresor a partir de un molde de la dentadura del sospechoso y una fotografia tomada por la Policia, la Guardia Civil o los Medicos Forenses de la marca dental que ha dejado la mordedura sobre la piel de la victima. La importancia del analisis de las marcas dentales en procesos judiciales se debe a la unicidad de la dentadura humana, y a que esta puede marcarse en la piel u objetos de forma que permitan identificar al sujeto causante de una mordedura. Actualmente, el proceso de comparacion es complejo y subjetivo, dando lugar en muchas ocasiones a la perdida de fuerza legal de este tipo de pruebas. Con intencion de minimizar esta problematica, se ha desarrollado un programa, Biteprint®, capaz de realizar un reconocimiento semiautomatico de marcas dentales humanas sobre una fotografia con la intencion de extraer una serie de parametros que identifiquen adecuadamente una dentadura y que nos permitan establecer una comparacion con el molde dental de uno o varios sospechosos. Los resultados obtenidos en el trabajo han sido aceptados como buenos por nuestros expertos en la materia, realizandose ademas un estudio estadistico para la validacion de los parametros elegidos como identificativos de una dentadura en el que se han obtenido resultados interesantes.
Rastreamento universal para cervicite clamidiana: uma revisão sistemática

A revisao sistematica teve como objetivo avaliar a efetividade dos testes de acido nucleico no rastreio da C. trachomatis. A maioria dos estudos foi localizada via internet, entretanto, alguns deles foram encontrados em revistas que abordavam o tema e mediante contato com especialistas. Os artigos foram selecionados apos criteriosa avaliacao critica da forca de evidencia cientifica, obedecendo as regras da Associacao Medica Brasileira e do Conselho Federal de Medicina, alem dos criterios de Irwig, para analise qualitativa dos artigos. A revisao incluiu todos os estudos publicados a partir de 1990 que avaliavam testes de acido nucleico em mulheres sexualmente ativas, assintomaticas e que tivessem sido submetidas a avaliacao clinica e a testes moleculares. Os testes de acido nucleico que utilizavam sondas de RNA e amplificacao de DNA (PCR) foram comparados a cultura (padrao-ouro) com o intuito de determinar se seriam metodo de diagnostico adequado para o rastreio da infeccao. Apos analise qualitativa, foram selecionados 12 estudos, mas nao foi possivel realizar avaliacao quantitativa dos mesmos devido a heterogeneidade dos dados. A efetividade e os beneficios dos testes de acido nucleico justificam estudos de custo-efetividade, com o intuito de avaliar o impacto do rastreio universal na reducao das complicacoes advindas da infeccao clamidiana (AU) This systematic review aims at evaluating the effectiveness of the nucleic acid test for detection of C. trachomatis. Most of the studies were searched electronically and key journals were hand-searched. Further studies were identified in the internet and by contacting experts in the field. The articles were selected after careful critical evaluation of the strength of scientific evidence, according to the rules of the Brazilian Medical Association and the Federal Council of Medicine, besides the Irwig's criteria for qualitative analysis of article The review included all studies published from 1990 onward that evaluated nucleic acid tests in asymptomatic, young and sexually active women that have been subjected to clinical evaluation and molecular testing. The nucleic acid tests taken with the use of probes of RNA and amplification (PCR) were compared to culture (gold standard) in order to determine if a method of diagnosis would be appropriate for screening of infection. After the qualitative analysis, we selected 12 studies; it has not been possible to perform their quantitative evaluation due to the heterogeneity of data. The effectiveness and benefits of DNA testing justify the cost-effectiveness studies in order to assess the impact of universal screening in reducing the complications that arise from chlamydial infection (AU)
Examination of Comedy Through a Television Serial: Case of Çocuklar Duymasin

Among the TV genres, sitcoms seek to entertain the audience while raising their awareness on certain issues. One of the most popular Turkish TV serials of all times is Cocuklar Duymasin (Don’t Let Children Hear). This serial is produced by Birol Guven and started to be broadcasted in 2002. The serial has been on the air till 2014 on several TV channels. During this time, it was produced for a few years and re-appeared with a new format. The new version was on the air after 2012 till 2014. Pathos mentioned in Aristotelian rhetoric analysis is formed throughout the serial with the sound of laughter. Comedy is formed through jokes and are classified in the serial. For the present study, 60 episodes of Cocuklar Duymasin broadcasted in 2014 are examined and the types of jokes that are followed with the sound of laughter is categorized as simple and intellectuel jokes. The results suggest that number of messages based on simple-everyday life jokes is more than intellectual ones.

An hp finite element method for a singularly perturbed reaction-convection-diffusion boundary value problem with two small parameters

We consider a second order singularly perturbed boundary value problem, of reaction-convection-diffusion type with two small parameters, and the approximation of its solution by the $hp$ version of the Finite Element Method on the so-called {\emph{Spectral Boundary Layer}} mesh. We show that the method converges uniformly, with respect to both singular perturbation parameters, at an exponential rate when the error is measured in the energy norm. Numerical examples are also presented, which illustrate our theoretical findings.
Onionchain: Towards Balancing Privacy and Traceability of Blockchain-Based Applications

With the popularity of Blockchain comes grave security-related concerns. Achieving privacy and traceability simultaneously remains an open question. Efforts have been made to address the issues, while they may subject to specific scenarios. This paper studies how to provide a more general solution for this open question. Concretely, we propose Onionchain, featuring a suite of protocols, offering both traceability and privacy. As the term implies, our Onionchain is inspired by Onion routing. We investigate the principles of Onion routing carefully and integrate its mechanism together with Blockchain technology. We advocate the Blockchain community to adopt Onionchain with the regards of privacy and traceability. To this end, a case-study of Onionchain, which runs in the context of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), is proposed, providing the community a guideline to follow. Systematic security analysis and extensive experiments are also conducted to validate our secure and cost-effective Onionchain.
Local Hole revisited: evidence for bulk motions and self-consistent outflow

We revisit our mapping of the ‘Local Hole’, a large underdensity in the local galaxy redshift distribution that extends out to redshift z ≈ 0.05 and a potential source of outflows that may perturb the global expansion rate and thus help mitigate the present ‘H0 tension’. First, we compare local peculiar velocities measured via the galaxy average redshift–magnitude Hubble diagram, $\overline{z}(m)$, with a simple dynamical outflow model based on the average underdensity in the Local Hole. We find that this outflow model is in good agreement with our peculiar velocity measurements from $\overline{z}(m)$ and not significantly inconsistent with Type Ia supernova peculiar velocity measurements from at least the largest previous survey. This outflow could cause an ≈2–3 per cent increase in the local value of Hubble’s constant. Second, considering anisotropic motions, we find that the addition of the outflow model may improve the $\overline{z}(m)$ fit of a bulk flow where galaxies are otherwise at rest in the Local Group frame. We conclude that the Local Hole plus neighbouring overdensities such as the Shapley Supercluster may cause outflow and bulk motions out to ≈150 h−1 Mpc that are cosmologically significant and that need to be taken into account in estimating Hubble’s constant.
The Complexity of Reachability in Affine Vector Addition Systems with States

Vector addition systems with states (VASS) are widely used for the formal verification of concurrent systems. Given their tremendous computational complexity, practical approaches have relied on techniques such as reachability relaxations, e.g., allowing for negative intermediate counter values. It is natural to question their feasibility for VASS enriched with primitives that typically translate into undecidability. Spurred by this concern, we pinpoint the complexity of integer relaxations w.r. t. arbitrary classes of affine operations. More specifically, we provide a trichotomy on the complexity of integer reachability in VASS extended with affine operations (affine VASS). Namely, we show that it is NP-complete for VASS with resets, PSPACE-complete for VASS with (pseudo-)transfers and VASS with (pseudo-)copies, and undecidable for any other class. We further present a dichotomy for standard reachability in affine VASS: it is decidable for VASS with permutations, and undecidable for any other class. This yields a complete and unified complexity landscape of reachability in affine VASS.
