Effects of Atmospheric Stimuli on Building Merchant Website Relational Loyalty

Purpose: This research paper attempts to provide an idea about the impact of merchant website atmosphere on cyber consumers’ relational loyalty.Design: An abductive reasoning is adopted in this research paper whereby we begin with a qualitative approach then a questionnaire is used to test the hypotheses.Findings: Results support the positive impact of the atmosphere of a merchant website through the components of the perceived quality on the emotional states of cybercustomer which in turn had a significant positive influence on purchase intention. The results also showed that cyberconsumer purchase intention influences word of mouth communications and repurchase intention.Research limitations: The merchant website atmosphere stills a new concept in the Tunisian context which restricts our sample; several variables which were excluded from the analysis may be relevant to the study of the influence of the merchant website atmosphere on the cyberconsumer behavior.Practical implications: This paper extends managers knowledge and helps them to shape the most appropriate marketing strategies and to enhance relational loyalty.Originality/value: This research aims to contribute to the advancement of marketing work related to understanding customer behavior on a merchant website. It is a part of the few works that have attempted to examine the relationship between the stimuli of the atmosphere and the customer behavior and integrate a set of variables that have so far been studied separately.
Money Printing and Inflation: Fundamentals and Causal Relationships

Central banks or monetary authorities are usually responsible for printing money, which means releasing new money to the economy. Such new money issued by the central bank is reflected by the changes in ‘reserve money’ stock of the central bank. Money printing process is entirely based on fundamental economic reasons and it is fundamentally different from the monetization of government budget deficits. Theoretically and empirically, there is a causal relationship between money and inflation as long-term underlying inflation is driven by the changes in money supply. This study focuses on the relationship between credit to government and inflation in a selected sample of countries, which is examined using descriptive and statistical techniques such as correlation analysis, cointegration analysis and causality tests. Accordingly, this study finds that a significant one-to-one relationship or causality between credit to government and inflation could not be observed although strong and robust relationships between money and inflation could be observed with considerable time lags. Hence, the study concludes that it is not accurate to establish one-to-one causal relationship between components of money supply like credit to government by the central bank and inflation.
Checklist completed? An examination of checklist design in shipping

The checklist is a widely used tool for improving safety in aviation and maritime operations as well as improving surgical care. In aviation checklists have been used with great success for decades. While they have become more common in the maritime industry as well, there is still some resistance towards the procedure. The purpose of this review was to find whether or not there is a systematic approach to creating checklists in shipping or in other fields, and if there is knowledge in other fields that could be utilized to improve the design of maritime checklists. To answer these questions, a systematic literature study was conducted. It investigated earlier research related to checklists that have been made in various areas. To make the study as systematic as possible the PRISMA method was used combined with conversations with certain persons with insight in the shipping industry and how checklists implemented. The review did not find any research published on maritime checklists, however, that does not disprove that there is a systematic approach to the design of checklists in shipping. It did find a significant amount of research concerning aviation and medicine, indicating that there is a systematic approach in those fields. Design recommendations based on human factors research were presented.
Utility of polymerase chain reaction technique in the diagnosis of tubercular meningitis in Indian children

: Purpose: Despite tremendous advancement, tuberculosis remains a major global health problem due to multidrug resistance and HIV infection. In children's, tubercular meningitis (TBM) is the main presentation than that of pulmonary as after disease neurological problems, are more serious. Timely and accurate diagnosis is important for correct treatment and better outcome. The conventional methods (microscopy and culture) are reported either to give false results or fail to respond at early stage. The molecular biology techniques have offered a ray of hope over it. Methods: In the present study, 30 suspected cases of TBM along with 15 controls representing other forms of meningitis and of pediatric age group were diagnosed using PCR and conventional methods. Results: Only two samples showed positivity by microscopy and six samples showed positivity by culture. On the other hand by PCR, a significantly higher number (17, including microscopy and culture positive) were positive for the presence of TBM. All the control samples were negative by both the methods. Conclusions: PCR was able to detect additional 11 cases reportedly negative by culture and microscopy. It shows that a big quantum left undiagnosed and hence untreated. These results suggest that PCR definitely have an advantage over conventional methods especially in case of TBM where non-treatment due to poor diagnosis may lead to high morbidity and mortality. More emphasis needs to be given to the adoption of such rapid diagnostic methods in case of infections where the start of treatment may affect the infection outcome.
Designing a Study of Adult Accomplishment and Life Quality: A Report on Phase I of the Project TALENT 17-Year Follow-up Survey and TALENT Data Bank Maintenance Activities.

Project TALENT is an ongoing longitudinal study of how individuals develop and use their talents and, in particular, how their educational experiences as youth and adults contribute to this process. The project has developed an extensive base of data on the abilities and characteristics in high school and the subsequent educational, career, and personal experiences through age 29 of over 400,000 men and women who were in high school in 1960. The current report discusses activities carried out under a grant from the National Institute of Education to (1) develop plans for a fourth follow-up of Project TALENT participants during their mid-30s and (2) facilitate user access to the data base for secondary analysis. The design for the l7-year follow-up survey calls for collecting data on the activities, accomplishments, values, and satisfactions as adults of the TALENT participants. These data will be used to assess the long-term outcomes of these individuals' earlier educational experiences and to determine the extent to which their continuing educational experiences further enhance their ability to develop productive and personally satisfying lives. Project TALENT is uniquely suited to such analyses as it is the only data base possessing both the necessary background data on individuals' abilities and other characteristics in high school and (with the completion of the l7-year follow-up) also sufficient information on the same individuals' experiences and accomplishments as adults. The survey plans provide for following-up approximately 128,000 of the original 400,000 TALENT participants. The report contains a detailed description of the objectives and rationale for the survey and the characteristics of the sample selected and also a copy of the questionnaire to be used in the first year of the survey. Plans for analysis and reporting of the data, protecting individuals' privacy, and maintaining up-to-date addresses for the sample are also discussed. Several other activities were carried out to enhance researchers' awareness of the data base and to facilitate their use of TALENT data in
TILT PROP-ROTOR COMPOSITE RESEARCH AIRCRAFT

Abstract : A preliminary design study for a composite research aircraft was conducted. The primary objectives were to define the optimum design and to prepare a program for the follow-on development of a VTOL rotary-wing composite research aircraft embodying the low disc loading and low-speed maneuverability of the helicopter and the high speed and lift/drag ratios of fixed-wing aircraft. The D266 Composite Research Aircraft design that resulted is based on the demonstrated and proved tilting-rotor concept. Design gross weight of the D266 is 23,000 pounds. Power is provided by two General Electric T64-GE-12 free-turbine engines. Design complexity is no greater than that of a twin- engine dual-rotor helicopter. All flight procedures are simple and straightforward and may be performed by one pilot. The cargo compartment, which exceeds the requirements, provides space for 24 troops.
Low Cost, Low Complexity Sensor Design for Non-Cooperative Geolocation via Received Signal Strength

Abstract : Obtaining accurate non-cooperative geolocation is vital for persistent surveillance of a hostile emitter. Current research for developing a small, cheap and energy efficient sensor network for non-cooperative geolocation measurements via received signal strength (RSS) is limited. Most existing work focuses on simulating a non-cooperative network (NN) and in doing so, simulated models often ignore localization errors caused from the hardware processing raw RSS data and often model environment-dependent errors as random. By comparing real-time measured non-cooperative geolocation data to a simulated system a more accurate model can be developed. This thesis discusses the development and performance of a small, low cost, low complexity, and energy efficient sensor network that can locate a NN via RSS. The main focus of this research effort is designing a Poor Man's Spectrum Analyzer (PMSA) to locate a wireless device in a non-cooperative network (NN) that is transmitting in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio band of 2.403 GHz to 2.48 GHz by measuring the emitter's received signal strength (RSS).
Will Debt Relief Make a Difference? Impact and Expectations of the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative

The Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) is the latest phase of debt reduction for poor countries from the World Bank, the IMF, and the African Development Bank. The MDRI, which will come close to full debt reduction for at least 19 (and perhaps as many as 40) qualifying countries, is being presented as a momentous leap forward in the battle against global poverty. However, the analysis in this paper suggests that the actual gains may be more modest and elusive. This is not because, as some anti-debt campaigners fear, that the initiative is a mere accounting trick. Rather, the limited short-term financial impact of the MDRI on affected countries is because the debt service obligations being relived were themselves relatively insignificant. For example, in 2004 the average African country in the program paid $19 million in debt service to the World Bank, but received 10 times that amount in new Bank credit and more than 50 times as much in total aid. Just as importantly, finances are rarely the binding constraint on poverty and other development outcomes. This is not to say that the MDRI is futile. Indeed the impact could be considerable over the long-term, especially on the ability of creditors to be more selective in the future. But most of the impact of the MDRI will be long-term and difficult to measure. As such, expectations of the effect on indebted countries and development indicators should be kept modest and time horizons long.
Relationship between Entrepreneurial Orientation and Business Performance: A Review of Literature

The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of literature on developments in entrepreneurship theory and emergence of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) construct. It also explores and presents the literature on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and business performance. Three models — the construct model, the EO-Strategy model and the performance model — were identified as the lines of research on EO. The paper reviews a range of publications describing the methodology, findings and alternative approaches to study the performance model. It suggests that a strong entrepreneurial orientation results in high business performance. EO is a multidimensional construct operationalized in terms of variables ‘innovativeness’, ‘risk-taking’, ‘proactiveness’, ‘autonomy’ and ‘competitive aggressiveness’. A combination of subjective and objective measures of performance should be used for accurate measurement of performance. Various organizational and environmental elements should be introduced as moderating and mediating variables while studying the relationship of EO with performance.
Structural Changes in the Digestive Tract of Broilers when Introducing a Probiotic

The authors have studied the influence of a probiotic and a gastrointestinal adsorbent on the histostructure of the digestive tract of broilers. Day-old broilers were divided into groups of 50 heads each by the method of analog pairs in terms of live weight. Control broilers received a basic diet. Broilers of the 1st experimental group during the first three days of the experiment received probiotic Vetom-1.1 (0.006%) containing spores of Bacillus subtilis with the basic diet, and broilers of the 2nd experimental group received gastrointestinal adsorbent Enterosgel (0.008%). For histological studies, three heads of broilers were selected at day 1 of age, day 4 of age, and at the end of the experiment (after the end of feeding the preparation and before the transition to the basic diet) from the average weight of each group. Samples were excised from the middle of the crop, the glandular part of the stomach, the duodenum, the jejunum, and the proximal part of the cecum of birds. At the end of the experiment, the positive aftereffect of the preparation persisted in the crop and duodenum. At the same time, in the experimental group, the thickness of the submucous membrane of the stomach decreased, and in the cecum, the layer of villi increased.
HIGH-TECH POLICE CAR BUILDS BRIDGES BETWEEN AGENCIES

The Advanced Law Enforcement and Response Technology (ALERT) patrol car played an important role in a high-profile drama in Bryan, Texas, during the fall of 1999. During a controversial trial, video cameras positioned around the courthouse provided pictures of the immediate area, but the ALERT patrol car mobile video camera substantially widened the view. As the car cruised the vicinity, real-time images were sent back to a central command post within the courthouse, allowing nine local, state, and federal agencies to share data and coordinate response. Although the ALERT system is still in the developmental stages, a new coalition is pursuing funding together in an effort to continue to advance the state of law enforcement information technologies.
Why e-Service Development is Different:

As the importance of services in our society increases, so does the importance of systematic approaches to develop these services – commonly termed New Service Development (NSD). An increasing proportion of services are now electronic services delivered over the Internet. The purpose of this article is to derive a set of key attributes that distinguish electronic from non-electronic services and their potential influence on NSD. These key attributes are then used as a framework for analyzing NSD literature with regards to their applicability for the development of electronic services. This analysis reveals several gaps in NSD research. In particular, current NSD methods are not well equipped to address the rapidly changing nature and specific cost structure found in electronic services. Current NSD methods are also not well suited to fully exploit the various advantages that electronic services offer over non-electronic counterparts, in particular, the transparent feedback generated by service usage and potentials for continuous improvement and rapid deployment of service changes.
Socioeconomic Status and Family Structure: A Qualitative Investigation of Female Caregivers in Families Coping with Pneumoconiosis

Pneumoconiosis is the most prevalent occupational illness in China. In Chinese scholarship and media discourse, migrant workers with occupational illness are almost uniformly described as helpless and vulnerable. While this is true in many cases, this study calls attention to the roles of socioeconomic status and family structure in shaping the differential experiences of workers with pneumoconiosis and their female caregivers. Using qualitative interviews with 19 Pneumoconiosis patients from the Fujian, Shaanxi, and Henan Province in China and their family members, I show that socioeconomic status affects not only the type of medical treatment the individual patients can receive but also their wives’ coping strategies and attitudes towards the illness. Among pneumoconiosis patients with higher socioeconomic status, the patients optimistically await lung transplant surgeries, while their wives become bread-winners of the family and at the same time provide care for them. In families of less socioeconomic resources, however, husbands expect death and wives either remarry or become the only breadwinner. The latter group is also more likely to hold a pessimistic attitude toward death. This study extends the existing literature on occupational disease in China by highlighting the socioeconomic gradient in individual and family-level outcomes in the face of pneumoconiosis.
Does Education Affect the Online Impulse Buying in Millennials?

The popularity and acceptance of online medium for buying and selling has increased both in terms of popular acceptance and widespread reach in every nook and corner of the country. A similar rise has been observed in the tendency of online impulsive buying behaviour too. Impulsive or impulse buying is unplanned and often done in a fraction of second over some human stimulus that is usually uncontrollable. There is no doubt to the fact that the exposure and inclination towards online medium as a buying platform has increased significantly over the last few years amongst all and its rise is particularly noteworthy in the generation Y. Today this young and well educated group qualifies to be an important segment for marketers. This research paper explores the impact of education over online impulsive buying behaviour in millennials of today.
Travel carbon emission reduction: managing and accounting in a global company

Purpose: This case study explores how a global company does or does not adapt to climate change through changes in managerial action. Specifically, the research concerns a travel project in a global consulting company based in London, the stated aim of which was a 25% reduction of carbon emission generated by air travel in one year. The research explores the actions undertaken to achieve carbon emission reduction. Design: A case study method is employed to follow the travel project over one year to examine its contributions, if any, to carbon emission reduction. Findings: Several solutions were implemented by management aimed at reducing carbon emission by air travel. Travel incentive schemes to reduce flight travel were implemented, with a focus on new communication technology. Despite significant managerial effort, carbon was not reduced. When, at the completion of the analysis, the stated objective of achieving 25% carbon emission reduction had not been met, the company instead changed its targets to adapt to much higher levels of carbon emissions to meet its actual levels, which had increased significantly. Research limitations: This case study is limited to a branch of a global organisation, and the research focus was on air travel reduction over 12 months. Practical implications: The evidence suggests that voluntary corporate actions to reduce carbon emissions may not be workable in practice. Originality: This research examined a branch of a global company and how it tried to manage and account for a voluntary reduction of carbon.
