Impulsive buying is a dream segment for retailers and marketers. Stimulants in retail environment evoke a sudden urge for the acquisition of products spontaneously. This desire for immediate possession and instant gratification may get an effect from the religious orientation and various beliefs of an individual. This study seeks to examine the influence of religiosity on impulsive buying behavior through various beliefs. Based on the theoretical assumption underpinning Values-Attitudes-Behavior (VAB) hierarchy and theory of consistency, this study examines religiosity as an antecedent of materialism, risk aversion, life satisfaction which ultimalty drive impulsive buying tendencies. A self-administrated survey questionnaire was used to collect the data by using mall-intercept approach. The sample size consisted of 272 consumers of apparel products. Structural equation modeling technique was carried out to establish the reliability, validity of measures and to examine the relational paths. In general, results are in support of propositions that the religiosity precedes various types of beliefs that turn into impulsive buying tendencies. Inner individual spiritual meanings and exterior social meaning of religious values condemn materialistic beliefs and enhance the risk aversion and life satisfaction of customers. Furthermore, customers with higher-level materialistic beliefs are more inclined towards impulsive tendencies, while the less risk-takers and satisfied with their life have lower impulsive tendencies. It requires incorporating the aspect of religious beliefs with behavioral outcomes. The findings of the study have significant implications for retailers of developing countries.

TÜKETİCİ SOSYALİZASYONU SÜRECİNDE ÇOCUKLAR VE ÇİZGİ FİLMLERDE KULLANILAN BİLİNÇALTI (SUBLİMİNAL) MESAJLAR
Authors: KADIOĞLU Zeynep Yelda
Published: August 2020

Tüketici sosyalizasyonu sürecinde çocukluk dönemi çok önemlidir. Bireyin tüketim algısında ve tüketici olarak davranışlarında çocukluk döneminde edindiği yargılar belirleyici olur. Çocukluk döneminde çizgi filmler sürekli tekrarlarla izlenir. Bu yüzden hem geçirilen zaman hem de içeriklerin etkisi bakımından önemlidir. Son yıllarda çoğunlukla yabancı yapımlarda olmak üzere çizgi filmlerde bilinçaltı yerleştirilmeler sıklıkla görülmektedir. Bilinçaltı mesajlar bireylerin farkındalık eşiklerinin altında hazırlanan iletilerdir. Ayrıca bu mesajların çocuklar üzerindeki etkileri yetişkinlerden daha belirgindir. Bilinçaltının bireyin üst bilincini dolayısıyla kararlarını ve davranışlarını yönlendirebileceği öngörüsü, bireylerin davranışları üzerinde etki sahibi olmak isteyenler için müdahale alanı sunar. Bir rıza üretimi ve kaçınma imkanı olmaksızın maruz kalınan bu mesajlar dikkat çekici sıklıklarla çizgi filmlerde kullanılmaktadır. Bu filmlere gizlenen bilinçaltı mesajlar filmlerin, çocukların farkındalıklarında yer bulma, hayal dünyalarına kahramanları yerleştirme ve böylelikle filmin tüm ürünlerinin tüketicisi olma çabalarını destekler. Bu çalışmada öncelikle bilinçaltı mesajlar ve tüketici sosyalizasyonu kavramları ortaya konmuş ve birçok çizgi filmin içine kasıtlı yerleştirilen bilinçaltı mesajlarla beklenen olası etkiler ele alınmıştır.

The Effect of Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) with Recruitment Maneuvers on Atelectasis in Obese Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery: A Systematic Review
Authors: Cerami Jon
Published: August 2020

General anesthesia has a profound effect on respiratory dynamics in the obese population. Obesity can contribute to a decreased functional residual capacity, reduced lung volumes, and an increased closing capacity. Positioning and procedural requirements can further complicate the respiratory status of the obese patient. Surgical procedures in the obese population have an increased risk for the formation of atelectasis. Ventilation can be compromised due to atelectatic lung tissue and may result in post operative complications such as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress, hypoxia, a prolonged hospital stay, and the need for prolonged mechanical ventilation. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is utilized in the operating room to increase arterial oxygenation, prevent airway collapse and expand alveoli during each breath. Alveolar recruitment maneuvers can be supplementary throughout surgical procedures to recruit and restore atelectatic lung tissue and prevent further formation of atelectasis. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of PEEP with recruitment maneuvers in obese patients undergoing abdominal surgery with general anesthesia. The theoretical framework that guided this systematic review was the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta- Analysis (PRISMA) Statement. Randomized control trials included in this systematic review were appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) to evaluate reliability. Alveolar recruitment maneuvers increase lung compliance, arterial oxygenation, and decrease complications associated with atelectasis formation. The use of PEEP with alveolar recruitment maneuvers should be employed for obese patients that undergo abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.
Nurses' Perceptions of the Barriers to Using Nonpharmacological Methods to Relieve Patients' Pain in the Adult Care Setting
Authors: Ethier Alyssa
Published: August 2020

Managing patients’ pain is a challenge that many caregivers face as they balance adequate pain management with minimal drug side effects. Nonpharmacological pain management techniques exist that literature has shown to be effective. Although caregivers may be aware that nonpharmacological pain relief options exist, pharmacological pain management still remains the primary, and often the sole form of pain intervention. The purpose of this project was to identify nurses’ perceptions of barriers to using nonpharmacological methods to manage their patients’ pain in the inpatient hospital setting. A modified survey was created using the Nurses’ Perceived Obstacles to Pain Assessment and Management Practices questionnaire by Coker et al (2010). The modified survey included 19 questions that were relevant to nonpharmacological pain management of an adult patient in the hospital setting. The participants’ years of nursing experience was also collected with this tool. A total of 19 nurses that work in the Intensive Care Unit of Newport Hospital, a 129-bed community hospital in Newport, RI were surveyed. The results of the survey showed that over half of all respondents perceived they had inadequate time to educate their patients on the use of nonpharmacological pain management and that their institution did not have clear policies or guidelines of best practices regarding nonpharmacological pain management. Over 45% of all respondents found a lack of system support and education and patient attitude to be barriers. This project identified that both nurses and patients would benefit from further guidance by the institution with the use of guidelines and policies to enhance their knowledge, confidence, efficiency, and skills to manage their patients’ pain with nonpharmacological options.
Does Nurse Management Effect Continuous Renal Replacement Downtime?
Authors: Gardner Lisa
Published: August 2020

Acute kidney failure (AKI) is common among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and can have a mortality rate of up to 70%. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) provides constant dialysis treatment and is the recommended treatment for hemodynamically unstable AKI patients. Delay in CRRT delivery and interruptions of therapy are associated with negative outcomes such as fluid overload, electrolyte imbalance, acid-base imbalance and death. To reduce CRRT downtime, there has been a trend for the critical care nurse to be autonomous with the set-up, management and\ trouble-shooting of treatment instead of a collaboration between the critical care nurse and dialysis nurse. The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in CRRT therapy downtime with critical care nurse management compared to collaborative management performed by the critical care nurse and dialysis nurse. This research was guided by Benner’s Novice to Expert Model as it best represents the trajectory for nurses attaining the clinical competence to master total management of CRRT. A retrospective chart review was conducted with a total of 43 downtime incidences managed autonomously by the critical care nurse and a total of 48 CRRT downtime incidences managed by a collaboration between the critical care nurse and dialysis nurse. Results demonstrated that the mean CRRT downtime managed autonomously by the critical care nurse, 7,728.8 seconds was significantly less than the CRRT downtime managed by a collaboration between the critical care nurse and dialysis nurse, 13,915 seconds (p =0.01). Further research is indicated to determine the best nursing management of CRRT to reduce treatment downtime.

Dexmedetomidine and Postoperative Delirium in the Adult Cardiac Surgical Population: A Systematic Review
Authors: Custodio Joanne
Published: August 2020

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a major complication following surgery and is considered the most common complication among older adults following cardiac surgery; with up to 87% of patients being affected (Whitlock, Vannucci, & Avidan, 2011). Dexmedetomidine, a highly selective α2 agonist, inhibits the release of norepinephrine presynaptically causing analgesia and inhibits central nervous system stimulation in the postsynaptic neurons causing decreased blood pressure and heart rate; together, contributing to the effects of analgesia, anesthesia, and sedation (Naaz & Ozair, 2014). The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze the current literature and examine the effects of dexmedetomidine on POD in the adult cardiac surgical population. A comprehensive literature review was completed using CINAHL, PubMed, and Medline focusing on the pathology of postoperative delirium, the physiology of cardiac surgery, and the pharmacodynamics of dexmedetomidine. Guidelines set forth by PRISMA and Inouye and Charpentier’s multifactorial model were utilized to assist in the identification of eligible studies. Study analysis was completed by creating study specific and data outcome tables. Critical appraisal of individual RCTs was performed utilizing the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist. A cross study analysis table was also created comparing the results of all eligible studies against one another. The findings of this systematic review determined that in the adult cardiac surgical population, dexmedetomidine was associated with a decreased incidence of POD; however, the results for time to extubation, ICU LOS (length of stay), and hospital LOS varied amid the studies examined.

Measurement and clinical significance of gingival biotype in anterior teeth
Authors: Li Lan
Published: August 2020

Abstract:The morphological characteristics of periodontal tissue and tooth tissue in gingival biotype are one of the indicators reflecting the individual differences of periodontal tissue in patients. Gingival biotypes of anterior teeth are often related to the prognosis of smile aesthetic treatment, which is one of the reference indexes for predicting the success rate of aesthetic treatment such as restoration, implant, periodontal, orthodontic and so on. Gingival biotypes have individual differences, so different gingival biotypes have different responses to different external stimuli. In the current clinical work, the correct evaluation of gingival biotype, especially the accurate measurement of gingival thickness, is the basis of reasonable choice of treatment and prognosis evaluation.

Evolution and Heterogeneity of Social Preferences
Authors: Ayoubi Charles , Thurm Boris
Published: August 2020

Why do individuals take different decisions when confronted with similar choices? This paper investigates whether the answer lies in an evolutionary process. Our analysis builds on recent work in evolutionary game theory showing the superiority of a given type of preferences, homo moralis, in fitness games with assortative matching. We adapt the classical definition of evolutionary stability to the case where individuals with distinct preferences coexist in a population. This approach allows us to establish the characteristics of an evolutionarily stable population. Then, introducing an assortment matrix for assortatively matched interactions, we prove the existence of a heterogeneous evolutionarily stable population in 2×2 symmetric fitness games under constant assortment, and we identify the conditions for its existence. Conversely to the classical setting, we find that the favored preferences in a heterogeneous evolutionarily stable population are context-dependent. As an illustration, we discuss when and how an evolutionarily stable population made of both selfish and moral individuals exists in a prisoner’s dilemma. These findings offer a theoretical foundation for the empirically observed diversity of preferences among individuals.

Regularity ≠ symmetry: A comment on Makin, Rahman, and Bertamini (2020)
Authors: Sasaki Kyoshiro , Yamada Yuki
Published: August 2020

Previous studies have shown that the perceived duration of symmetrical visual patterns is longer than that of asymmetrical ones. In a different context, regular visual stimuli have been found to be judged as lasting longer than irregular ones. A recent replication study reported that the effect of symmetry on time perception might not be robust; however, the study jumbled the effects of regularity and symmetry. The stimuli used in our previous study on the effect of regularity were qualitatively and quantitatively different from those used in the study addressing symmetry. Moreover, the hypothesized underlying mechanisms involved in the effects of regularity and symmetry were completely different. Taken together, the present commentary claims that combining these findings based on the superficial similarity of these phenomena would lead to flawed scientific discussions.
Two-generational reports of parenting in Hong Kong and England: Beyond autonomy support and psychological control
Authors: Hughes Claire , Wang Qian , Ng Florrie , Wong Keri Ka-Yee , Ellefson Michelle Renee
Published: August 2020

Understanding parents’ roles in shaping child development necessitates studies including parents and children across different cultures. Here, we use a multi-dimensional, multi-informant approach to investigate parenting across two different cultures: Hong Kong and England. Participants from late childhood to early adolescence (ages 9 to 16 years) and their parents (N = 1410) answered questions on six parenting dimensions: autonomy support, psychological control, warmth, rejection, structure and chaos. Differential item functioning occurred across sites and generations. Generation effects were stronger than site effects, with parents being more positive. Consistent correlations across sites indicated that children had a unidimensional view of their parents. In contrast, parents seem to hold a more multi-dimensional view that is not fully consistent across sites.

Published: August 2020

Chinese citrus fly, Bactrocera minax (Enderlein), is one of the most important pests of citrus. The pest is more problematic in the eastern part of the country, Nepal. Because of the difficulties associated with the control of this pest by chemical insecticides, farmers had experienced great losses in Sweet Orange. Therefore, a participatory field survey was conducted under farmer field conditions to assess losses and measure the efficacy of different local and recommended management options to address the problem of this pest. Study consisted of two major parts: monitoring of pest population and farmer’s survey. For monitoring three orchards were selected located at different altitude i.e. 1200 masl, 1300 masl and 1400 masl. Great Fruit fly Bait (25% protein hydrolysate and 0.1% abamectin) in McPhail traps were used for monitoring. Monitoring was done in every 7 days interval and lures were changed in every 15 days for the effectiveness. Only 18.3% farmers were using protein bait for the management of fruit fly. B. minax had peak population intensity at May and was found decreasing after June so the management practices should be adopted before June to prevent the loss by fruit fly. However, for best effective control attention for monitoring and management procedures has to take place throughout the life cycle of the insect.
Gender Gap in Housework: Couples’ Data Analysis in Kyrgyzstan
Authors: Kolpashnikova Kamila , Kan Man-Yee
Published: August 2020

We analyze couples’ time-use diaries from the 2012–2013 Life in Kyrgyzstan data. Using the pooled Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition method, we test the relative resources, time availability, absolute resources, and gender-centered frameworks in their ability to explain gender differences in housework participation among Kyrgyzstani women and men. The results show that among the three resource-based approaches, the time availability models are the most potent in accounting for the gender gap in housework, followed by the relative resources framework. Both frameworks emphasize household bargaining processes and power differentials between spouses. The findings suggest that among Kyrgyzstani couples, partners’ time availability and, with it, bargaining power play an important role in the division of housework tasks. In contrast, absolute resources can account only for a small portion of the gender differences in housework participation.
Democratic Representation and Legislative Theatre
Authors: Dalaqua Gustavo H.
Published: August 2020

This article seeks to contribute to the debate on how political representation can promote democracy by analysing the Chamber in the Square, which is a component of legislative theatre. A set of techniques devised to democratise representative governments, legislative theatre was created by Augusto Boal when he was elected a political representative in 1993. After briefly reviewing Nadia Urbinati’s understanding of democratic representation as a diarchy of will and judgement, I partially endorse Hélène Landemore’s criticism and contend that if representation is to be democratic, citizens’ exchange of opinions in the public sphere should be invested with the power not only to judge but also to decide political affairs. By opening up a space where the represented can judge, decide, and contest the general terms of the bills representatives present in the assembly, the Chamber in the Square harnesses political representation to democracy.

Published: August 2020

The agricultural industry is very important part of each economy. The main driver of global demand for agricultural products over the next decade will be increasing of population. The fact that the agriculture has to meet the growing needs of food production makes this sector very essential. However, intensifying of food production is more difficult nowadays because of the great impact of climate change, water scarcity and enlarging of land deficiency. The urgent need for increased farm production on less land with less water through further intensification is, therefore, very important. The research related to the acceptance of ICT in Agricultural Sector in Macedonia was done using literature review and semi structured interviews. A total of 40 (forty) Macedonian agricultural companies were invited to participate on this study. The results from this study revealed that three different components such as lack of awareness about the benefits, maturity of new technology including costs and lack of trainings and operational knowledge have been identified as challenges for the acceptance of ICT in Agriculture in Macedonia. For each component, the critical factors that are influencing the acceptance of ICT were identified. In conclusion, based on the research findings, a groundwork structure for ICT acceptance has been developed for Macedonian agricultural sector, which will help the agricultural stakeholders and ICT providers to determine the best way to move forward

Authors: Serajnik Sraka Nada
Published: August 2020

Digitalne tehnologije vnašajo velike spremembe v vse oblike komuniciranja, tudi na polje pisnega komuniciranja, ki velja za eno najpomembnejših kompetenc, ki jih praktiki odnosov z javnostmi potrebujejo pri vsakdanjem delu. Zanimalo nas je, kako spletne tehnologije vplivajo na pripravo sporočil za javnost, enega od najpogostejših komunikacijskih orodij in obenem najpogostejših pisnih žanrov odnosov z javnostmi ter kako se odražajo v praksi odnosov z javnostmi. Z raziskavo smo želeli ugotoviti, kako digitalne tehnologije vplivajo na proces priprave sporočil za javnost, zlasti z vidika strukturiranja in oblikovanja pisanja. Raziskovalni vzorec so sestavljala sporočila za javnost štirih vlad (angleške, kanadske, nemške in slovenske), skupaj 40, ki so jih navedene vlade objavile v obdobju enega meseca (marec 2018).
AVALIAÇÃO AMBIENTAL DAS MICROBACIAS DOS RIBEIRÕES BONITO E CUIABÁ, PONTAL DO PARANAPANEMA/SP: ANÁLISE DAS CARACTERÍSTICAS DOS REMANESCENTES DE FRAGMENTOS FLORESTAIS.
Authors: Santori Alisson Rodrigues
Published: August 2020

O desenvolvimento deste estudo se orientou na possibilidade de contribuir para a avaliação e condicionamento das características ambientais de recortes específicos do espaço geográfico brasileiro, nesse sentido, o trabalho proposto fornece condições para avaliar e refletir sobre as questões e problemáticas ambientais da região do Pontal do Paranapanema. A execução deste estudo organizou e produziu informações e dados relativos às características ambientais da vegetação remanescente de duas microbacias localizadas nos municípios de Teodoro Sampaio/SP e Mirante do Paranapanema/SP no interior do estado de São Paulo. O objetivo principal deste trabalho não se delimita apenas a produzir um relato ou caracterização geral do meio físico e das condições ambientais, mas pretende também colaborar de forma teórica e técnica na possibilidade de recuperação e restauração ambiental das áreas que sejam mais interessantes dentro do recorte observado Os resultados obtidos foram conquistados a partir da construção de uma metodologia que compilasse de forma organizada diversas informações preliminares e dados de base que contribuíram para a realização das etapas de analise ambiental da área em gabinete e nos trabalhos de campo, e também ao posterior mapeamento temático da área com diferentes técnicas de geoprocessamento. O entendimento teórico deste trabalho se baseou na apropriação da ideia de que as atividades desenvolvidas no âmbito da microbacia afetam de forma direta e indireta as características e, por consequência, a qualidade ambiental da área; e que determinados usos produzem supressões, impactos e derivações muito nocivas ao ambiente.

O advento das geotecnologias tem trazido diversas potencialidades para o monitoramento dos espaços geográficos. A possibilidade de obtenção de uma ampla base de dados, do compartilhamento e cruzamento de informações e a geração de produtos cartográficos de fácil compreensão fazem com que ferramentas como o sensoriamento remoto e os SIG’s sejam essenciais para gestão dos territórios, sobretudo das áreas protegidas. O monitoramento espacial e temporal das unidades de conservação assegura a validação desta importante política pública na área da proteção ao meio ambiente, sobretudo nas grandes cidades. Contudo, apesar da relevância para gestão territorial, em muitos estados do país há uma escassez de informações espaciais referentes as unidades de conservação. Sendo assim, este trabalho objetivou avaliar a cobertura da terra de seis unidades de conservação do município de São Luís, capital do Maranhão, como vistas a compreender as mudanças ocorridas no espaço geográfico ao longo de vinte anos. Para isso foi realizada o mapeamento das unidades de conservação segundo classes de cobertura da terra com auxílio de software SIG. Os dados obtidos mostraram que a maior parte das unidades de conservação avaliadas obtiveram melhorias relacionadas à qualidade da vegetação e manutenção dos corpos hídricos ao longo da série temporal avaliada, mostrando que as políticas ambientais voltadas para conservação desses espaços apresentam algum grau de efetividade, pelo menos no que se refere a recomposição da cobertura vegetal e contenção no avanço da ocupação humana desordenada.
