Research on Consumer Willingness to Purchase Time-honored Brand Products Based on TPB Theory in the New Media Environment
Authors: Zhang Qiongqiong
Published: April 2024

In the context of the digital economy, utilizing new media for marketing and brand promotion has become the direction of digital transformation for China’s time-honored brand enterprises. This paper takes consumer research data as a sample and based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), establishes a mechanism model for the impact of consumer willingness to purchase China’s time-honored brand products in the new media environment. The conclusion of this paper is as follows: First, subjective norms become the most important factor influencing consumer attitudes. Secondly, the level of new media marketing for time-honored brands can significantly influence consumer attitudes and promote the conversion of consumer purchase intention. Finally, perceived behavioral control can significantly influence the attitude of consumers, but it cannot significantly affect their behavior. This paper provides policy recommendations for improving the competitiveness and marketing level of China’s time-honored brands in the new media environment from the aspects of social media construction, new media operation, promoting product innovation and model innovation.

Published: April 2024

At the time of the transformation of old and new driving forces for economic growth, green technology innovation enabled by the digital economy has gradually become a powerful driving force for scientific and technological innovation and the improvement of the development level of green economy in the Yangtze River Delta region. This paper takes 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta region as the research object, and empirically analyzes the spatial correlation degree and the spillover effect of green technology innovation in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2016 to 2020 by constructing the spatial Dubin model. The results show that: (1) Digital economy has a strong positive impact on green technology innovation and development, and has an empowering effect on regional green technology innovation and development. (2) The development of green technology innovation in the Yangtze River Delta showed a significant positive spatial autocorrelation, and the spatial autocorrelation decreased with the increase of years, and the trend of unbalanced development of green technology innovation increased. (3) The level of digital economy, the level of opening up to the outside world, the rate of urbanization and the level of scientific and technological development have a spatial spillover effect on regional green technology innovation and development. Based on the above conclusions, the paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions to promote the innovation and development of green technology enabled by digital economy in Yangtze River Delta region.

Beijing and Shanghai’s Urbanization Differences through Analysis of the Northam Curve and Social Factors
Authors: Wang Yehao
Published: April 2024

This paper aims to track and explain the spatiotemporal differences between Beijing and Shanghai’s urbanization development after 1978. By using the Model of Social Factors and the Northam Curve, the paper compares the urbanization difference between Beijing and Shanghai and why Shanghai is metropolitan while Beijing is nonmetropolitan. The paper also indicates that Shanghai will not “re-urbanize” after reaching the inflection point of the Northam Curve. A future topic would be the prediction of both cities’ urbanization during the upcoming decades.

As the Journal of Medical Optometry grows, I’m struck by the desire of so many of us to publish our work for the benefit of our peers. There is no shortage of submissions for publication; there is a demand by medical optometrists to have a space to call our own. I think we all benefit from this. The author benefits from being motivated to dig deeper into a case, into a disease. The reader benefits by being able to take away a better understanding of a condition they could easily see in their chair tomorrow. And, of course, the patient benefits when the field increases its shared knowledge.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of organ donation among undergraduate medical students and explore potential variations based on demographic characteristics.
Methodology: A Cross-Sectional Study was conducted from June to September 2023; participants were recruited from Punjab medical, dental, and paramedic colleges. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire, which was pre-tested prior to the study. The online data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 28. Qualitative variables were reported in frequencies and percentages, and the Chi-square test assessed associations among study variables and sociodemographic traits.
Results: The study enrolled 152 students, predominantly from the MBBS program (80%). Inconsistencies were observed in knowledge, attitude, and practice domains. Approximately 55.6% of students were aware of organ donation, while only 45.5% exhibited a positive attitude, particularly in donating under exceptional circumstances. The group below 18 years demonstrated a high percentage (45.5%) of willingness to become organ donors. Notably, a significant portion of participants expressed comfort and positive feelings about posthumous organ donation.
Conclusion: The data revealed various perspectives and challenges associated with organ donation. Some participants mentioned issues like religious constraints, family opposition, and concerns about physical appearance or mortality. Moreover, a variety of "Other" barriers were identified, indicating a wide range of reservations. Nevertheless, the majority clearly grasped the selfless intent behind organ donation, with the main drive being to preserve and prolong human life. The results highlight the necessity for continuous efforts to enhance awareness, educate the public, and address reservations in order to encourage organ donation and ultimately save lives.

La naturaleza de las ganancias obtenidas en el juego de lotería por uno de los cónyuges constante la sociedad de gananciales
Authors: López Suárez Marcos A.
Published: April 2024

El presente trabajo tiene por objeto dilucidar el carácter ganancial o privativo del premio de lotería obtenido por uno de los cónyuges constante la sociedad de gananciales. En este sentido, a la luz de lo dispuesto en el artículo 1351 del CC el análisis propuesto pudiera suscitar cierta perplejidad. Sin embargo, es posible que el desconcierto inicial se torne en expectación si se toman en consideración aquellos casos en los que el premio o ganancia en el juego trae causa de un décimo «regalado» exclusivamente a uno sólo de los cónyuges. A partir de estos presupuestos, se examinará el ámbito de aplicación del artículo 1351 CC, la naturaleza jurídica del acto de regalar a los efectos de reputarlo como una verdadera donación o, en su caso, como una mera liberalidad de uso y las consecuencias jurídicas que se derivarían de esta última calificación.
Medicina personalizada y uso secundario de datos de salud para fines de investigación: algunas cuestiones
Authors: Luquin Bergareche Raquel
Published: April 2024

El trabajo aborda el dilema jurídico que plantea el nuevo paradigma de la medicina personalizada, cuyo desarrollo requiere disponer de ingentes cantidades de datos de salud, sin merma de su protección como derechos especialmente sensibles conforme al RGPD y de la LOPDPGDD. Se analiza de forma crítica el vigente marco normativo, fragmentado y deficiente, en lo que respecta al uso secundario de los datos de salud para fines de investigación, que culmina en el RPD y trata de conciliar los intereses en conflicto regulando como bases legitimadoras el consentimiento y otras fundamentadas en el interés social o general. Entre otras soluciones, se propone el refuerzo de los mecanismos de garantía para los derechos del titular y el interesado (singularmente: anonimización y seudonimización), a fin de evitar o minimizar en lo posible la materialización de riesgos para los derechos individuales de las personas.

Authors: Naltan Chrystal Uohna , Boonmoh Atipat
Published: April 2024

The motivation of in-service English language teachers in Thailand was examined through the lens of possible language teacher selves. With English as a lingua franca and Thailand's emphasis on English proficiency, understanding teacher motivation is crucial. The qualitative narrative approach was adopted, involving semi-structured interviews with three participants having a minimum of three years of teaching experience. The study addressed the gap in literature regarding English teachers' possible selves and retention. The findings revealed the interplay of intrinsic and altruistic motives, self-concept, and career aspirations. Participants' motivations aligned with their ideal, actual, ought-to, and feared possible selves. Their reasons for teaching were in harmony with their aspirations, current self-perception, perceived obligations, and the desire to avoid negative outcomes. The findings have relevance for tailored professional development, student-centered approaches, recognition of non-native speaker strengths, and strategies to enhance teacher well-being. While limited by sample size and design, this research contributes to understanding teacher motivations and their implications for educational institutions.

Authors: Balraj Noah Anburaj
Published: April 2024

Acculturation is the process of signifying the human potential to adapt and grow for productive living. What implications does acculturation have on Generation Z consumer’s willingness to explore new cultural goods and services? Gen Z consumers’ receptivity to cultural products and services comes via acculturation benefiting marketers utilizing transformants to achieve success of a firm. The purpose of this research was to comprehend the process by which Gen Z adjusts to and embraces various cultures in a diversified setting, and to establish a framework that relates this acculturation with consumer enthusiasm for cultural products and services. Twelve respondents in a multicultural setting who were going through the process of acculturation were surveyed. Ideas about how acculturation affects consumer readiness for new experiences were developed through a qualitative approach that employed grounded theory analysis techniques. The level of Gen Z individuals’ openness to seek new experiences offered by other cultures (appreciating new goods, different value systems, and approaches to life), to learn new languages, and travel were significant findings of the study. A model termed the “Hierarchy of Acculturation-Needs Cycle” was constructed with the aim of advancing research and discussion on the topic of acculturation.

El cuestionamiento a diario de las ciencias sociales y en especial la jurídica, sobre la apertura de sus campos de investigación y su planteamiento metodológico orientado a la solución de los problemas acuciantes de la sociedad actual, son realmente trascedentes. Temas como la democracia, el hambre, la emigración, los modelos económicos, la globalización, los valores, los derechos: a la libertad, a la vida y a la salud, por solo citar algunos, aparecen en el tintero de las disciplinas que se interrelacionan con el comportamiento humano y la sociedad.
De esta manera, la necesaria reformulación epistemológica de cuestiones relacionadas con la enseñanza del derecho y otras ciencias sociales se hace cada día más importante, originado por los niveles de inmovilidad, de superioridad al ser humano y de sobredimensionamiento de las normas jurídicas que suelen aparecer.  El derecho a través de sus normas deberá reflejar permanentemente la perspectiva social, con la finalidad de regularizar comportamientos que conlleven a sociedades estables y convivientes, tareas prioritarias y pendientes desde las investigaciones jurídicas.
Por último, es imperativo en este siglo XXI, intensificar y profundizar en las investigaciones sociales por medio de la interdisciplinariedad y la sistematicidad, que nos permita conocer el ser social y sus áreas de incidencias.

Published: April 2024

The chicken sector is more vulnerable to antimicrobial resistance, the buildup of toxic or dangerous residues in meat and eggs and environmental contamination as a result of the widespread and careless use of antibiotics in most nations. Natural solutions, such as medicinal plants, are required to address these issues. These plants have been shown to contain a variety of phytochemicals, including phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, alkaloids and saponins. These chemicals endow plants with a multitude of medicinal qualities. One of the many alternatives to antibiotics is Prosopis africana extract, which includes stem bark, leaves, roots and their essential oils. Antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-helminthic, antiviral, hepatoprotective, immune-stimulatory and antimicrobial properties are among the many pharmacological activity of P. africana preparations. They are also an abundant supplier of vital minerals and amino acids that support enzyme function and provide defense against the effects of oxidative stress. Using extracts from Prosopis africana is the way forward for effective chicken production, environmental sustainability and food hygiene.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT Objective To provide insights into the potential benefits of goal-directed therapy guided by FloTrac in reducing postoperative complications and improving outcomes. Methods We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to evaluate goal-directed therapy guided by FloTrac in major surgery, comparing goal-directed therapy with usual care or invasive monitoring in cardiac and noncardiac surgery subgroups. The quality of the articles and evidence were evaluated with a risk of bias tool and GRADE. Results We included 29 randomized controlled trials with 3,468 patients. Goal-directed therapy significantly reduced the duration of hospital stay (mean difference -1.43 days; 95%CI 2.07 to -0.79; I2 81%), intensive care unit stay (mean difference -0.77 days; 95%CI -1.18 to -0.36; I2 93%), and mechanical ventilation (mean difference -2.48 hours, 95%CI -4.10 to -0.86, I2 63%). There was no statistically significant difference in mortality, myocardial infarction, acute kidney injury or hypotension, but goal-directed therapy significantly reduced the risk of heart failure or pulmonary edema (RR 0.46; 95%CI 0.23 - 0.92; I2 0%). Conclusion Goal-directed therapy guided by the FloTrac sensor improved clinical outcomes and shortened the length of stay in the hospital and intensive care unit in patients undergoing major surgery. Further research can validate these results using specific protocols and better understand the potential benefits of FloTrac beyond these outcomes.
A check on the 28 factor clinical analysis questionnaire structure on normal and pathological subjects
Authors: Cattell, 1905-1998 Raymond B. (Raymond Bernard)
Published: April 2024

Taking the widest currently possible array of items made up for various pathological behaviors, some five pioneer factorings have indicated 28 primary factors, 16 of which are the familiar normal personality factors of the 16 P.F. in partly pathological expression. A pair of scales to mark each of these factors having been developed in the experimental CAQ, a check on the factor structure of the 56 variables provided was made independently on a group of 400 normal adults, 190 clinical patients, and on the mixed group spanning the normal-pathological range. The existence of 28-29 factors is uniformly supported in all three, and the nature of the factors, at a high degree of simple structure, is essentially as hypothesized (as is also confirmed by the second order structure). However, one psychoticism factor and two depression factors show some spread into other factors, and farther progressive rectification with new items is indicated. This is in progress by Sells and Cattell in constructing equivalent forms of the CAQ for clinical practice.

The nurse: A helping personality?
Authors: Rose Lucien D. , Lawlis G. Frank
Published: April 2024

Today nursing as a profession offers a wide variety of specialties which requires varying degrees of direct nurse-patient interaction. The purpose of this study was to determine what personality factors correlated to student nurses' preferences to be more patient oriented as opposed to technique oriented in their approach to their work. It was discovered that the patient-oriented group was composed of two subgroups. One subgroup contained student nurses who were rather self-actualized while the other subgroup was motivated toward a patient orientation to nursing by a need to submit to others. Similarly, the technique oriented student nurses were also found to be composed of two subgroups. One subgroup's technique orientation sprang from a need to remain detached and reserved in social situations while the other subgroup's technique orientation was based on a need to dominate and lead others. The results of this research tend to lend credence to the thesis that behavioral functions may be motivated by a variety of personality factors.

Emergent Gameplay, Emergent Essaying
Authors: Dunlop Kirsty
Published: April 2024

Within our current post-internet landscape of Web 2.0, in which we exist as intermedial beings, I propose Emergent Essaying as a connective term, merging the milieu of game design with hybrid creative writing approaches. Emergent Gameplay is ‘a game design term that refers to video game mechanics that change according to the player’s actions’. Emergent Essaying utilises gameplay techniques to invite more open, playful, and changeable modes of thinking, encouraging multiplicity and fluidity over fixed thought. Expanding upon creative theorists Lisa Robertson and Anne Carson’s approach to the verb ‘essaying’ as an act of trying, in this digital context I conceive of Emergent Essaying as an act of playful reimagining from both writer/designer and reader/player, in which the essay is more narrative based. I combine game design techniques with the approaches to digital work adopted by indie writers to inform my own practice as a cross-form, cross-genre writer, as reflected both in this paper, and via a link to a digital-born, creative iteration of this work, enacting Emergent Essaying. In this updated version of the paper from 2021, I address the benefits of understanding Emergent Essaying through the lens of performance, and interrogate how this feeds into pedagogical approaches for creative practitioners.

The ideas that should be prioritized in character education are values such as experience, empathy for others, personal obligation, feelings of the same destiny, suffering, peaceful conflict solvers. This study aimed to determine how to integrated character education in social science learning in elementary schools. The method used in this research is a literature study using book sources and articles, both national and international journals. The study focus is to reveal models that can be used to integrate character education in social science in elementary schools. The result is that character education can be integrated with the following four models: ARCS, VC, CTL, and LVE models. These models have in common is integrating values ​​through contextual problems. These contextual problems are the main components for the development of values ​​that are integrated into character education. However, the differences between the four models can be distinguished by the nature, context and application of social science learning. The integration of character education in every subject is essential for students' readiness to face every problem in their life. Further research needs to clarify the effectiveness of these models in efforts to develop character education.

Research findings show that SDT theory prioritizes autonomy, social competence, and interpersonal relationships as key components for increasing student motivation. In education, Social Cognitive Theory emphasizes observation and modelling, while Constructivism advocates active learning and the relevance of material to students' daily lives. Especially in the digital era, connectivism emphasizes the importance of information networks and collaboration in education. Integrating key aspects of these theories can provide a foundation for responsive and holistic learning strategies, creating learning environments that are stimulating, relevant, and motivating for students across the educational spectrum.
