Word-of-Mouth Escalation Levels
Authors: Mücksch Janek , Ziemann Markus , Siems Florian U.
Published: March 2024

A huge amount of marketing literature focuses on communication among customers about products, services, or providers, which is referred to as Word-of-mouth (WoM). However, only a small part of the literature discusses in which situations and between which individuals WoM occurs. This article derives theoretically that the tie strength and the contextual reference between individuals can be regarded as important predictors for the occurrence of WoM: More precisely, we suggest that a higher tie strength and a contextual reference has an association with the likelihood that WoM occurs. We apply several scenarios with different levels of disconfirmation of expectations – which are regarded as escalations levels. Afterwards, a quantitative empirical study proves that individuals are more likely to tell others about certain events if these people have a higher tie strength. Also, we provide evidence that the contextual reference has an impact. The article underlines the importance of WoM for businesses and contributes to the existing literature.

Anti-cancer treatments can result in various adverse effects, including infections due to immune suppression/dysregulation and drug-induced toxicity in the lung. One of the major opportunistic infections is
Pneumocystis jirovecii
pneumonia (PCP), which can cause severe respiratory complications and high mortality rates. Cytotoxic drugs and immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can induce interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Nonetheless, the differentiation of these diseases can be difficult, and the pathogenic mechanisms of such diseases are not yet fully understood. To better comprehend the immunophenotypes, we conducted an exploratory mass cytometry analysis of immune cell subsets in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with PCP, cytotoxic drug-induced ILD (DI-ILD), and ICI-associated ILD (ICI-ILD) using two panels containing 64 markers. In PCP, we observed an expansion of the CD16

Deep learning for rapid analysis of cell divisions in vivo during epithelial morphogenesis and repair
Authors: Turley Jake , Chenchiah Isaac V. , Martin Paul , Liverpool Tanniemola B. , Weavers Helen
Published: March 2024

Cell division is fundamental to all healthy tissue growth, as well as being rate-limiting in the tissue repair response to wounding and during cancer progression. However, the role that cell divisions play in tissue growth is a collective one, requiring the integration of many individual cell division events. It is particularly difficult to accurately detect and quantify multiple features of large numbers of cell divisions (including their spatio-temporal synchronicity and orientation) over extended periods of time. It would thus be advantageous to perform such analyses in an automated fashion, which can naturally be enabled using Deep Learning. Hence, we develop a pipeline of Deep Learning Models that accurately identify dividing cells in time-lapse movies of epithelial tissues
in vivo
. Our pipeline also determines their axis of division orientation, as well as their shape changes before and after division. This strategy enables us to analyse the dynamic profile of cell divisions within the
Drosophila
pupal wing epithelium, both as it undergoes developmental morphogenesis and as it repairs following laser wounding. We show that the division axis is biased according to lines of tissue tension and that wounding triggers a synchronised (but not oriented) burst of cell divisions back from the leading edge.Accurate and efficient detection of epithelial cell divisions can be automated by deep learning of dynamic time-lapse imaging dataOptimal division detection is achieved using multiple timepoints and dual channels for visualisation of nuclei and cell boundariesEpithelial cell divisions are orientated according to lines of global tissue tension after post-division shufflingSpatio-temporal cell division analyses following wounding reveal spatial synchronicity that scales with wound sizeAdditional deep learning tools enable rapid analysis of cell division orientation
The impact of sprint interval trainingversusmoderate intensity continuous training on blood pressure and cardiorespiratory health in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Liang Weibao , Liu Chuannan , Yan Xujie , Hou Yu , Yang Guan , Dai Jianmin , Wang Songtao
Published: March 2024

Background

Although aerobic exercise is the primary modality recommended for the treatment of hypertension, it remains unclear whether high-intensity all-out sprint interval training (SIT) can result in greater reductions of blood pressure (BP) and cardiorespiratory health. This systematic review aims to compare the impact of SITversusModerate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on improvements in resting systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) among adults.

Methods

We conducted a systematic search of three online databases (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) from January 2000 to July 2023 to identify randomized controlled trials that compared the chronic effects of SITversusMICT on BP in participants with high or normal blood pressure. We extracted information on participant characteristics, exercise protocols, BP outcomes, and intervention settings. Furthermore, the changes in VO2max between the two groups were analyzed using a meta-analysis. The pooled results were presented as weighted means with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results

Out of the 1,874 studies initially were found, eight were included in this review, totaling 169 participants. A significant decrease in SBP (MD = −2.82 mmHg, 95% CI [−4.53 to −1.10],p = 0.08,I2=45%) was observed in the SIT group compared to before the training, but no significant decrease in DBP (MD = −0.75 mmHg, 95% CI [−1.92 to 0.42],p = 0.16,I2= 33%) was observed. In contrast, both SBP (MD = −3.00 mmHg, 95% CI [−5.31 to −0.69],p = 0.68,I2= 0%) and DBP (MD = −2.11 mmHg, 95% CI [−3.63 to −0.60],p = 0.72,I2= 0%) significantly decreased in the MICT group with low heterogeneity. No significant difference was found in resting SBP and DBP between SIT and MICT after the intervention. Both SIT and MICT significantly increased VO2peak, with SIT resulting in a mean difference (MD) of 1.75 mL/kg/min (95% CI [0.39–3.10],p = 0.02,I2= 61%), and MICT resulting in a mean difference of 3.10 mL/kg/min (95% CI [1.03–5.18],p = 0.007,I2= 69%). MICT was more effective in improving VO2peak (MD = −1.36 mL/kg/min, 95% CI [−2.31 to 0.40],p = 0.56,I2= 0%). Subgroup analysis of duration and single sprint time showed that SIT was more effective in reducing SBP when the duration was ≥8 weeks or when the sprint time was <30 s.

Conclusion

Our meta-analysis showed that SIT is an effective intervention in reducing BP and improving cardiorespiratory fitness among adults. Consequently, SIT can be used in combination with traditional MICT to increase the variety, utility, and time efficiency of exercise prescriptions for different populations.

Levels of Phthalate Acid Esters in Carbonated Soft Drinks Bottled in Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Bottles Kept under Various Storage Conditions in Mwanza City, Tanzania
Authors: Mrema, Evarist E.  , Chaula, D. N  , Chove, B. E
Published: March 2024

Background: Carbonated soft drinks (CSD), packaged in PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles, are among the most widely consumed non-alcoholic beverage globally. People of all ages enjoy CSDs for their flavour, mouthfeel, crispness, freshness, and capacity to both quench thirst and provide mental refreshment. Terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, and other additives such as phthalates are the materials used to make these PET bottles. Several studies have demonstrated that phthalates may migrate into packaged goods and, when consumed, can cause several ill-health conditions to humans. Type II diabetes, obesity, asthma, male and female reproductive disorders, tumours (including breast cancer), pituitary, hypothalamic, and peripheral hormone disorders, behavioral issues, and neurodevelopmental disorders are among the health issues reported to be associated with phthalates.
Objective: This study aimed to ascertain the presence and concentration of phthalates in PET bottled carbonated soft drinks produced in Mwanza City, and to examine the effects of various storage conditions on the migration of these contaminants into the product.
Methods: Liquid-liquid extraction, clean-up techniques, and chromatographic analysis were used as the methods of determination to identify and quantify the specific phthalates compounds.
Results: The findings demonstrated that after being stored outdoors for four to six months, the migration, especially for dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di [2-ethylhexyl] phthalate (DEHP), became more apparent. After two, four, and six months of indoor storage, there was no appreciable change in the mean concentrations of DMP (dimethyl phthalate), DEP (diethyl phthalate), DBP (dibutyl phthalate), and DEHP for either brand in this study. Compared to indoor storage, the DBP and DEHP migration increased by up to 24-fold when the two brands were kept outdoors for four and six months. Thus, the safety and quality of carbonated soft drinks were seriously compromised by the phthalate compounds from the PET bottles that these companies were using.
Conclusion: The study's conclusions show that PET packaging, which is influenced by the bottle manufacturing process and raw material formulations for packages of the studied CSDs, are responsible for the migration of phthalates into the products. The storage conditions and time are established to be the primary causes of phthalates migration in bottled carbonated soft drinks. Though the migration figures in this study are lower than those of the other studies from different locations that were compared, it is important to remember that these compounds may interfere with hormones even in small quantities.

Studying the effects of multiple batches of stripped eggs contributes to the sustainability and viability of aquaculture practices by improving our understanding of reproductive performance and informing best practices in breeding programs, hence, the need to investigate on the effects of multiple batches of stripped egg on reproductive performances of Heterobranchus logifilis became necessary. The aim was to provide valuable information for decision-making processes in aquaculture operations. Nine brood stocks of H. longifilis (6 male & 3 female) with average body weight of 2.3 kg and average length of 64.2 cm where carefully selected for the study. Six matured males were sacrificed for the removal of testis without hormonal inducements. The milt collected from the six males were pulled together and divided into twelve portions each diluted with 2ml of normal saline solution. Three female brood stocks where separately induced at single dosage of 0.5ml/kg body weight and allowed for a period of 10 hours before stripping.  Stripping of eggs from each brood stock where in four batches, each batch measured 50g and labeled A, B, C & D. 3g of eggs containing approximately 2000 oocytes (eggs) where measured out from each batch and mixed with the diluted milt and incubated in a 2 x 1 x 10cm3 of water in a concrete pond at temperature of 26oC in three replicates. The result revealed that the reproductive performances considered in this study decreased as the batches of stripped eggs increased from 1- 4 batches. The first batch of stripped eggs produced 90.17 ± 0.44%, 97.78±0.86%, 89.48 ±1.08% fertilization, hatchability and survival respectively, while the least batch of stripped eggs (batch 4) produced the least value of fertilization (5.83 ± 1.69%); 45.00±4.90% hatchability and survival value of 5.59 ± 0.61%.  Sequel to the findings of the present study, the least batch of stripped eggs should be avoided for use in fertilization since the unhatched or dead eggs has some detrimental effects on the fertilized eggs including fry at the hatchery level.

Published: March 2024

In two distinct environments (E1 and E2), the current experiment was set up using a randomized block design with the goal of determining the extent of genetic diversity, heritability, and genetic advancement among 15 yield-related variables in brinjal. The analysis of variance results revealed that there were significant genetic variances across brinjal genotypes, indicating a significant degree of variability and boosting the opportunity for selection to improve the essential traits. There was a noticeable variance in mean values between the genotypes for several traits, from modest to wide. For most of the features under investigation, with the exception of days to 50% flowering, moderate to high genotypic coefficient of variation, moderate to high heritability, and genetic advancement as a percentage of mean were reported.
Assesment of Dangerousness in Psychiatry: What are They in the Field?

We are confronted with violence daily, through the media and social networks. This scourge brings into play the presence of several factors favouring the potential for dangerousness in some people compared to others. The distinction between criminal dangerousness and psychiatric dangerousness is essential for care. Psychiatry is often confronted with emergencies, the examination of a violent patient, assigning him the heavy task of deciding on the potential danger (for himself and others) of this patient, and the risk of recidivism. What about on the ground?

Published: March 2024

Aim: To evaluate the genetic diversity of the local and exotic accessions of this important crop.

Study Design: The experiment was laid in a Random Complete Block Design (RCBD).

Place and Duration of the Study: The pot experiment was carried in a greenhouse at the Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, BUAN, Botswana. Study was conducted during January - May 2022.

Methodology: The 49 accessions were planted in plastic bags in replications -. In each pot four seeds were sown and after emergence thinned to two plants per pot. The morphological characteristics were measured and recorded based on quantitative and qualitative traits following the International Board of Plant Genetic Resources (IPBGR) descriptors for Corchorus spp.   

Results: Results from the analysis of variance, simple correlation and multivariate analysis demonstrated high variation among the studied accessions. Accessions such as Bafia, Aziga, ExCameroon, Local big leaves, TOT6684, MLJM4, MLJM5, SUD2, SUD3 had the highest fresh leaf biomass compared to other accessions and could be used as potential parental lines for improvement in leaf yield. Amongst the studied accessions, Delele2, Delele3, Panda and Panda1 (all from Botswana) had few numbers of days to 50% flowering, therefore can be selected for early maturity, a mechanism that most of plants used to escape the abiotic stress. Significant correlation between the leaf yield and related attributes indicated the potential accessions to use for foliage yield improvement. The principal component analysis results revealed that variations in the accessions and the cluster analysis grouped the accessions based on similarities of the morphological characters and to  limited extent on their geographical origin.

Conclusions: Significant variations were found among all the accessions used in this experiment for the studied morphological characters indicating the extent of genetic variability present among them. Irrespective of origins, more diversity was observed for all the traits in the studied accessions.
Research on the Application of TOPSIS Method in EPC Risk Assessment
Authors: Yue Liu
Published: March 2024

TOPSIS method, as a relatively new comprehensive evaluation method for multi-objective decision making, makes use of the proximity between the evaluation object and its ideal target to rank the relative advantages and disadvantages, and is a comprehensive evaluation method for intra-group distance. This method is often combined with risk identification technology in the field of risk assessment, which can accurately reflect the gap between evaluation schemes, correctly identify risks, assess risks and scientifically control risks, reduce adverse effects and improve management level, so it is widely used in the engineering field. As the infrastructure construction tends to be saturated and the industry competition becomes increasingly fierce, the project construction mode is gradually changing from the traditional mode to the EPC mode. EPC projects have the characteristics of large construction scale, many personnel and mixed technologies, and are faced with complex risk factors in the construction process. Therefore, it will become a trend to explore the better integration of EPC projects and TOPSIS method. This paper mainly discusses the advantages and disadvantages of TOPSIS method, research status and applicability with EPC, proposes my own views on the improvement of TOPSIS method in EPC projects, and looks forward to its future research direct0069on in the field of risk assessment, so as to provide references for the integration and improvement of EPC projects and TOPSIS method.
