Authors: Rawie Yasserina , Samputra Palupi Lindiasari
Published: July 2023

This article discusses the feasibility of the Program Kartu Prakerja as a social security program in dealing with the problem of unemployment in Indonesia. As a form of social security program, Suharyadi et al (2015) stated that the pre-employment card program is possible to overcome the problem of unemployment and poverty in Indonesia. However, other research conducted by Shomad (2010) explains that social security cannot overcome poverty. An example is the Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) program in the era of former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who faced a number of obstacles in realizing social welfare. This research is a recommendation research as a procedure in the analysis of the Workers Card policy to see the feasibility of the program. This research uses a quantitative approach with cost and effective analysis. Cost and effectivity analysis is done by making a comparative picture related to the cost and effectiveness of Program Kartu Prakerja. Based on the results of the analysis of cost effectiveness in this study, it was found that the most effective was alternative 2 (ratio 15: Rp. 11,207,402,000,000), namely only by providing training to the unemployed. Therefore, based on the results of the analysis in this study, Program Kartu Prakerja is feasible, but there are things that need to be reconsidered, namely the provision of incentives for the unemployed.

This study aims to analyze the existence of the human resource dimension in the implementation of the healthcare facility licensing policy implemented by the Medan City Investment and One Stop Service (DPMPTSP) in 2020. This study uses a qualitative approach by utilizing in-depth interviews and observations as the main data sources. The results of the study indicate that the transition of facility licensing services from conventional methods to online-based services or e-government is a challenge in policy implementation, especially related to the human resource dimension. The human resources for implementing the online licensing service policy in quantity are seen as still inadequate in addition to the technical competence of existing employees who have not fully supported the implementation of the electronic and online-based services.

Study on the risk of seepage field of Qiantang River underground space excavated in water-rich rheological rock area
Authors: Zhang Tianjiao
Published: July 2023

With the rapid development of underwater space construction, the theoretical research is at the initial stage. At present, the theoretical research methods mainly include mirror image method and conformal transformation method. At present, almost all the research objects in analytical research are homogeneous soil layers. However, in practical engineering, soil layers are often distributed in layers. In this study, the seepage field of layered soil layers is analyzed, and the analytical derivation method of seepage field in heterogeneous media based on traditional conformal transformation method is given, which is verified by numerical simulation. The hydraulic head loss of the medium with better permeability in shallow layer is very small, and the streamline is vertically distributed. In the weak interlayer, the hydraulic head loss is huge, and the streamline bends greatly, showing a strong horizontal distribution and converging towards the center. It can provide theoretical basis for the design of water and soil pressure in practical engineering.

The Gender Incongruency Effect in L3 Swedish due to Imperfect Gender Acquisition in L2 German
Authors: Długosz Kamil
Published: July 2023

The study examines gender incongruency effects during gender retrieval in L3 Swedish learners, which are due to gender misassignment in L2 German. Twenty learners of L3 Swedish who had previously acquired two gender systems; one in their L1 Polish and the other in their L2 German, completed a speeded Gender Decision Task in Swedish and an untimed Gender Assignment Task in German. All noun stimuli were congruent in gender across the three languages (neuter → neuter, masculine and feminine → uter). Learners who erroneously assigned neuter gender to feminine but not to masculine nouns in L2 German showed higher error rates and longer response latencies in their attempts to retrieve uter gender in L3 Swedish. No interference was observed for neuter nouns. The present study thus demonstrates that incorrect gender representations in L2 German compete for selection with the target gender representations in L3 Swedish and that this cross-language interference is not always successfully resolved. Based on these findings, it is suggested that in the multilingual lexicon the connection of the uter gender node to the feminine gender node is weaker than to the masculine gender node.

Published: July 2023

It is essential to analyze the dynamic characteristics of regional groundwater levels and their driving factors for the rational development of groundwater in irrigated areas. This article explores the spatial distribution characteristics of the amplitude of groundwater level change in the Shihezi irrigated area by using the ArcGIS interpolation method and contrast coefficient variance method and analyzes the influence factors of dynamic change of groundwater levels by integrating the grey relational degree and path analysis methods and obtaining the sensitivity of each influencing factor to changes in groundwater levels and the relative importance of the influencing factors. The following results are obtained: (1) the groundwater level of the Shihezi irrigated area showed an overall increasing trend from 2012 to 2019, with a fluctuation range of 12.26–14.14 m. The groundwater level in the southeast of the irrigated area showed an upward trend, while the groundwater level in the northwest area showed a downward trend. (2) The groundwater level in the irrigated area first increased, then decreased, and then increased again. The variance of the contrast coefficient in the irrigated area ranged from 0.04 to 11.31, and the fluctuation range of the groundwater level in the central area was higher than that in the northern and southern areas. (3) The irrigated area of cultivated land and evaporation are the main factors affecting groundwater level change in the Shihezi irrigated area. The grey relation analysis shows that the irrigated area of cultivated land has the highest grey correlation degree with the evolution of the groundwater level, which is 0.947, and the average grey correlation index is between 0.74 and 0.95. Path analysis showed that the irrigated area of cultivated land, surface water usage, and evaporation were the main factors affecting groundwater levels. Human activities are one of the main driving forces of groundwater level change, and the research results provide a theoretical basis for the rational utilization and sustainable development of groundwater resources in the Shihezi irrigation area.

Authors: Healy Amber M. , Faherty Mallory , Khan Zeryab , Emara Naveen , Carter Cody , Scheidemantel Andrew , Abu-Jubara Musa , Young Robert
Published: July 2023

Context

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an endocrine emergency that can occur in people with diabetes. Its incidence is estimated to be 220,340 hospital admissions each year. Treatment algorithms include fluid resuscitation, intravenous (IV) insulin infusion, and scheduled electrolyte and glucose monitoring. The misdiagnosis of DKA in the setting of hyperglycemic emergencies results in overtreatment and unnecessary increases in healthcare utilization and costs.

Objectives

The aims of this study were to determine how often DKA is overdiagnosed in the context of other acute hyperglycemic emergencies, to describe the baseline characteristics of patients, to determine the hospital treatments for DKA, and to identify the frequency of endocrinology or diabetology consultation in the hospital setting.

Methods

A retrospective chart review was conducted utilizing charts from three different hospitals within a hospital system. Charts were identified utilizing ICD-10 codes for admissions to the hospital for DKA. If the patient was over 18 and had one of the diagnostic codes of interest, the chart was reviewed for further details regarding the criteria for DKA diagnosis as well as admission and treatment details.

Results

A total of 520 hospital admissions were included for review. DKA was incorrectly diagnosed in 28.4 % of the hospital admissions reviewed, based on a review of the labs and DKA diagnostic criteria. Most patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and treated with IV insulin infusion (n=288). Consultation of endocrinology or diabetology occurred in 40.2 % (n=209) of all hospital admissions, and 128 of those consults occurred in ICU admissions. The diagnosis of DKA was incorrect in 92 of the patients admitted to the medical surgical unit (MSU) and in 49 of patients admitted to the ICU.

Conclusions

Almost one third of hospital admissions for hyperglycemic emergencies were misdiagnosed and managed as DKA. DKA diagnostic criteria are specific; however, other diagnoses like hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS), hyperglycemia, and euglycemic DKA can make an accurate diagnosis more complicated. Education directed at improving the diagnostic accuracy of DKA among healthcare providers is needed to improve diagnostic accuracy, ensure the appropriate use of hospital resources, and potentially reduce costs to the healthcare system.

Authors: Gragnaniello Vincenza , Gueraldi Daniela , Puma Andrea , Commone Anna , Loro Christian , Cazzorla Chiara , Häberle Johannes , Burlina Alberto B.
Published: July 2023

Objectives

Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency is a severe urea cycle disorder. Patients can present with hyperammonemic coma in the first days of life. Treatment includes nitrogen scavengers, reduced protein intake and supplementation with L-arginine and/or L-citrulline. N-carbamoyl glutamate (NCG) has been hypothesized to stimulate the residual CPS1 function, although only few patients are reported.

Case presentation

We report a patient with neonatal-onset CPS1 deficiency who received NCG in association with nitrogen scavenger and L-citrulline. The patient carried the novel variants CPS1-c.2447A>G p.(Gln816Arg) and CPS1-c.4489T>C p.(Tyr1497His). The latter is localized in the C-terminal allosteric domain of the protein, and is implicated in the binding of the natural activator N-acetyl-L-glutamate. NCG therapy was effective in controlling ammonia levels, allowing to increase the protein intake.

Conclusions

Our data show that the response to NCG can be indicated based on the protein structure. We hypothesize that variants in the C-terminal domain may be responsive to NCG therapy.

Published: July 2023

Natural plant fiber-reinforced polymer composites (PFRP) have emerged as an environmental-friendly material in the construction industry, but their creep behavior is a critical concern for load-bearing structures. This study investigates the creep behavior of flax fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FFRP) using the time–temperature superposition principle (TTSP). Due to the application of TTSP on the tensile creep behavior of FFRP is not fully understood, three potential methods for calculating the critical parameters during TTSP are compared to obtain an efficient application method to build the creep master curve. A 2,000-h long-term creep test is conducted parallelly on the same sample to validate the accuracy of the creep analysis results. The study proposes an ideal method to determine the key parameters in TTSP, providing valuable insights for the practical application of PFRP in the construction industry. Meanwhile, the research results in this study would be helpful in better understanding the creep behavior of FFRP via short-term accelerated tests.

Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) is an HIV prevention intervention that has predominantly targeted adolescent and young men, aged 10–24 years. In 2020, the age eligibility for VMMC shifted from 10 to 15 years of age. This report describes the VMMC client age distribution from 2018 to 2021, at the site, national, and regional levels, among 15 countries in southern and eastern Africa. Overall, in 2018 and 2019, the highest proportion of VMMCs were performed among 10–14-year-olds (45.6% and 41.2%, respectively). In 2020 and 2021, the 15–19-year age group accounted for the highest proportion (37.2% and 50.4%, respectively) of VMMCs performed across all age groups. Similarly, in 2021 at the site level, 68.1% of VMMC sites conducted the majority of circumcisions among men aged 15–24 years. This analysis highlights that adolescent boys and young men are the primary recipients of VMMC receiving an important lifetime reduction in HIV risk.

The study of confined quantum systems exhibit distinct behavior compared to that in bulk solids. This enables the design of materials with tunable chemical, physical, electrical and optical properties. In this paper, the effect of quantum confinement energy on the optical properties (gap energy, refractive index) of semiconductors gallium nitrate (GaN) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) is studied. The study is done using the MATLAB computer program (20a). This software is based on the Brus model and the particle in-a-box model. The results indicate that the optical properties depend on the quantum confinement energy, with an increase in quantum confinement energy corresponding to an increase in the energy gap and a decrease in refractive index.
Use of artificial neural networks to identify and analyze polymerized actin‐based cytoskeletal structures in 3D confocal images
Authors: Park Doyoung
Published: July 2023

We propose an artificial neural network (ANN) as a kernel function of the recognizer of legitimate CABs from candidate CABs, that does not need human interventions. The performance of the recognizer shows noticeable recognition accuracy and addresses shortcomings of previous methods, including the need for human visual validation to recognize CABs from candidate CABs. Further, it helps to find and reduce errors resulting from human visual validation, which in turn would provide biologists/biophysicists a more comprehensive. understanding of a CAB.

Background

Living cells need to undergo subtle shape adaptations in response to the topography of their substrates. These shape changes are mainly determined by reorganization of their internal cytoskeleton, with a major contribution from filamentous (F) actin. Bundles of F‐actin play a major role in determining cell shape and their interaction with substrates, either as “stress fibers,” or as our newly discovered “Concave Actin Bundles” (CABs), which mainly occur while endothelial cells wrap micro‐fibers in culture.

Methods

To better understand the morphology and functions of these CABs, it is necessary to recognize and analyze as many of them as possible in complex cellular ensembles, which is a demanding and time‐consuming task. In this study, we present a novel algorithm to automatically recognize CABs without further human intervention. We developed and employed a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network (“the recognizer”), which was trained to identify CABs.

Results

The recognizer demonstrated high overall recognition rate and reliability in both randomized training, and in subsequent testing experiments.

Conclusion

It would be an effective replacement for validation by visual detection which is both tedious and inherently prone to errors.

World events, the development of information technology and other factors have increased the flow of information and changed the nature of journalists’ work over the last 10 years. However, journalists, despite the transformation and increased opportunities to expand the range of news, can still cover only a certain part of the information. Media workers, due to limited space, time or human resources, select just part of the events that become news. Selected news published in the media influence how society perceives and interprets reality.

In this article content analysis and in-depth interviews were used to investigate the transformations that Lithuanian media has undergone over the last 10 years, also the aim was to identify which news media has paid and are paying the most attention to, how and why the specificity of news has changed.
Effectiveness of WHO Stress Management for Improving Insomnia Severity Index Score in Telegram’s Self-Isolated Online Group Population
Authors: Octaviani Ines Damayanti , Maharatih Gusti Ayu , Herdaetha Adriesti
Published: July 2023

Insomnia is one of the various symptoms frequently found in patients with post-covid syndrome (PCS) (19.1%). The WHO Stress Management (WSM) is an eclectic psychotherapy that combines mindfulness and relaxation which, theoretically, can be effective in treating insomnia due to PCS. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of WSM in improving the Insomnia Severity Index Score for people with PCS. This was a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test control study on 18 participants in the population of online self-isolation group in the Telegram who experienced insomnia. The intervention applied was WSM. These participants were compared to 18 controls who only received psychoeducation. Clinical insomnia symptoms were examined using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) before the intervention, then the control group was given sleep hygiene psychoeducation, and the treatment group was given WSM in 5 Zoom on-cam meetings once a week for 30-60 minutes. A re-assessment using the ISI post-test was then performed, and data were analyzed statistically. There was a change in score for insomnia symptoms in the treatment group (delta score 27.50) compared to the control group (delta score 9.50, p=0.00; OR 0.00, p=0,99, 95% CI). Thus, WSM can improve the insomnia score in the population with PCS.

Published: July 2023

Hyperinflammation in COVID-19 patients is one of the causes of the high mortality rate of COVID-19. An in vitro model mimicking the inflammatory responses in COVID-19 patients is important in the efforts of finding new drug candidates for this disease. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can increase the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 8 in response to the presence of foreign substances. This preliminary study sought to explore the use of  the A549 cells as an in vitro inflammatory model. This study was conducted from August to November 2022 at the stem cell research and development laboratory of Bio Farma Indonesia. The exposure of 100, 500, and 1000 g/mL doses of LPS administered for 24, 72, and 120 hours on the A549 cells was analyzed for cell viability, population doubling time (PDT), and the presence of  proinflammatory cytokine IL-8. The group differences were examined using one- and two-way analysis of variance in IBM SPSS Statistics Version 29, with a p-value of 0.05 considered significant. Cells exposed to a dose of 1000 g/mL LPS had a lower viability and a higher proliferation rate (p<0.05) based on the viability and PDT. Viability, PDT, and pro-inflammatory cytokines showed concentration- and time-dependent responses. Therefore, increased levels of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-8 in cells exposed to LPS at a dose of 1000 g/mL for 24 hours can be used as a mimic to study hyperinflammation in COVID-19 patients.

This article is based on research on the evolution of textile printing and its relationship with cultural and artistic memory in the 20th century in Brazil and specifically at Companhia Têxtil Ferreira Guimarães. Through the memories and objects of individual and/or collective memory, represented through images in the narratives of cultural, social and political history and those related to research in terms of textile heritage, we can rethink Ferreira Guimarães' relationship with the artistic scene and cultural history of the city of Juiz de Fora. The result of this research is the growing perception that textile design is one of the many forms of representation of personal and social history and constantly seeks its references and inspirations in works and artists enshrined in the history of art.

Published: July 2023

The subject of this paper is the exploration and study of wool fiber beyond the production of fabrics and the manufactures associated with it. We want to try a step forward in the research of the complex world of certain textile fibers applications, such as wool, in the practice of medicine and ancient magic. Pure wool was considered a natural and traditional remedy for the prevention of inflammations and irritations of the skin. These applications were already known and practiced in Antiquity. For ancient cultures, wool possessed, and medical and magical virtues, as well as pharmacological qualities.

Wildmeat, a traditional source of protein for local rural homes in Africa has gained increased notoriety in respect to its implications for health when consumed by Man. consumption has in recent times become a source of concern for the global community particularly. As, a food resource often traded to urbanites, who can pay higher prices as a supplement to meals. Inspite of the extant studies on this activity, its urban dimensions remain poorly understood particularly in Nigeria. The paper assessed the local insights into why Ikorudu urbanites in Lagos, Nigeria continue to consume wild meat and their awareness of the implications of its consumption on their health. It was found using a questionnaire survey that more than 70% of residents had a low awareness of the negative implications of wildmeat consumption on their health. Furthermore, 45% of residents’ view wildmeat as healthier meat carrying less germs contrary to recent findings on its parasitic content. Results indicate that taste and cultural preferences are key reasons for sustained consumption (71%), and Grasscutter (Thryonomys swiderianus) continues to be the favoured edible wildmeat. This signals a pertinent need for increased local awareness of the zoonotic potentials of such meat through advocacy and educational campaigns. Continued blithe perspectives to Wildmeat issues may engender future disease outbreaks and eventually negatively impact on the ecological wellbeing of both Man and Bush animals.
Postpartum vasculopathy as a rare cause of stroke – what every neurologist should remember
Authors: Wiszniewska Malgorzata
Published: July 2023

Stroke in pregnancy and the puerperium is a rare condition. The treatment of ischaemic stroke (IS) in pregnancy and the puerperium is difficult and requires the attending physicians to take quick decisions. Postpartum vasculopathy (PV) may be one of the causes of postpartum stroke. The aetiology of PV is not fully understood. It most often occurs in the first week after delivery. The trigger factors include vasoconstrictive substances that are present in the blood of women in the postpartum period. Most frequently, this condition occurs in a subsequent pregnancy, and the primary symptom is a very severe headache. The characteristic feature of PV is the angiographic image of the cerebral vessels, where segmental vasoconstriction and tortuous course of the vessels are visible, which resembles beads impaled on a string. This disease is a monophasic condition and, once the disease has progressed, there are no contraindications for a subsequent pregnancy. No standard management has been established, but most authors agree that acute phase treatment includes cessation of vasoconstrictors using calcium channel antagonists, magnesium intravenously, corticosteroids, and treatment of associated conditions like headache, high blood pressure, cerebral oedema, seizure. It also applies ASA, heparin when it’s needed, we present a women with an IS in the course of PV treated successfully.

Human papillomavirus (HPV)infection consists the majority of cervical precancerous lesions and cancers. Various screening programmes aim in indentifying HPV infection and preventing cervical cancer. We present a 20-year-old female patient whose first pap smear revealed atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS). Pap smear, followed by genotyping evaluation, revealed high-risk HPV 33 infiltration. Colposcopy and cervical biopsies were performed due to suspicious cervical lesions, revealing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade II and focal high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.(Grade III.) Patient underwentloop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) due to assiduous imaging findings. Histopathologic establishment revealed anatomic areas of CIN III. (Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia) Aim of our study represents proper diagnosis and therapeutic mapping of a juvenile high grade cervical intraepithelial lesion, depending always on fertility preservation.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Pediatric respiratory illnesses (PRI): asthma, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, croup, and influenza are leading causes of pediatric hospitalizations, and emergency department (ED) visits in the United States. There is a lack of standardized measures to assess the quality of hospital care delivered for these conditions. We aimed to develop a measure set for automated data extraction from administrative data sets and evaluate its performance including updated achievable benchmarks of care (ABC).

METHODS

A multidisciplinary subject-matter experts team selected quality measures from multiple sources. The measure set was applied to the Public Health Information System database (Children’s Hospital Association, Lenexa, KS) to cohorts of ED visits and hospitalizations from 2017 to 2019. ABC for pertinent measures and performance gaps of mean values from the ABC were estimated. ABC were compared with previous reports.

RESULTS

The measure set: PRI report includes a total of 94 quality measures. The study cohort included 984 337 episodes of care, and 82.3% were discharged from the ED. Measures with low performance included bronchodilators (19.7%) and chest x-rays (14.4%) for bronchiolitis in the ED. These indicators were (34.6%) and (29.5%) in the hospitalized cohort. In pneumonia, there was a 57.3% use of narrow spectrum antibiotics. In general, compared with previous reports, there was improvement toward optimal performance for the ABCs.

CONCLUSIONS

The PRI report provides performance data including ABC and identifies performance gaps in the quality of care for common respiratory illnesses. Future directions include examining health inequities, and understanding and addressing the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on care quality.

First record of a potentially introduced leech, Helobdella aff. robusta Shankland, Bissen & Weisblat, 1992 (Hirudinea, Glossiphoniidae), in Japan
Authors: Kambayashi Chiaki , Nakano Takafumi
Published: July 2023

Helobdella aff. robusta Shankland, Bissen & Weisblat, 1992 is recorded for the first time from Japan. The haplotype of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequence of a specimen from Japan is identical to that of one collected in California, USA. The dorsal pigmentation pattern of the Japanese specimens is different from that of H. robusta inhabiting North America, but nonetheless, most of their morphological characteristics are con-sistent with the diagnostic features of this species. This species is considered to be of New World origin, and the Japanese population was likely established from a recent introduction.
The development of composite reinforced hybrid fiber musa acuminata stem-hibiscus tiliaceust bark with filler liquid rubber as vehicle bumper
Authors: Darmo Sujita , Sutanto Rudy
Published: July 2023

The characterized of the polyester composites reinforced of the hybrid fiber musa acuminata stem fiber (MASF)-hibiscus tiliaceust bark fiber (HTBF) with liquid rubber filler was studied. The object of research is the polyester composite material, hybrid natural fiber reinforcement and filler Carboxyl Terminated Butadiene Acrylonitryle (CTBN). The polyester composite material which is used as a vehicle bumper, is easily broken and has low heat resistance so that its shape easily changes/shrinks due to heat. This research aims to develop the tensile strength, impact toughness and heat resistance of polyester composites. The reason for using the MASF-HTBF hybrid fiber as a reinforcement for polyester composite materials is because MASF and HTBF are natural fibers that have great potential to be developed to improve the mechanical properties of polyester composites, as substitutes for synthetic fibers. In this study, the conditions of MASF and HTBF were given alkaline treatment by immersing them in 5 % NaOH solution for 24 hours then drying. The combined/hybrid ratio between the MASF and CTBF volume fractions is: 5 %:25 %, 10 %:20 % and 15 %:15 %. To increase impact toughness, CTBN filler is added with variations of 5 %, 10 %. The mechanical characteristics of the specimens were carried out by means of a tensile test and an impact test. The change in mass or shrinkage as a result is tested by TGA. The results showed that the MASF-HTBF hybrid fiber-reinforced polyester composite material with CTBN filler has better mechanical properties than single natural fibers, so it is important to develop it further as a material for making vehicle bumper
Coordinating a dual-channel supply chain with pricing and extended warranty strategies under demand substitution effects
Authors: Andriani Debrina Puspita , Tseng Fu-Shiang
Published: July 2023

With technology innovation and market complexity, this paper examines a dual-channel supply chain with one manufacturer and one retailer. A manufacturer performs the encroachment by selling products through offline retail and direct online channels. It also provides an extended warranty service with the product sold in both channels. This study identifies the best pricing and extended warranty strategies as decision variables to maximize profits for the dual-channel supply chain under the demand substitution effect. Despite the centralized scenario, a decision-making model in the decentralized scenario is also developed using Stackelberg’s game to determine optimal decision variables. The results demonstrate that the centralized scenario consistently outperforms the decentralized scenario. Thus, coordination contracts are proposed considering the profit structure, revenue-sharing and cost-sharing contracts to coordinate and promote a win-win situation for supply chain members. Furthermore, demand substitution effects are investigated for channel parameters represented in the initial market size, price sensitivity coefficient, and warranty length sensitivity coefficient on optimal decision variables. From the sensitivity analysis, these parameters have a different substitution effect on the optimal decision in each channel. The price and extended warranty length offered in a dual channel positively correlate with the market size and warranty length sensitivity coefficient of the corresponding channel. However, they negatively correlate with the price sensitivity coefficient. Accordingly, a similar situation occurs for the profit of each channel. Last, the discussion supports the theoretical results and generates managerial insights for practical decision-making
