Pricing of brand extensions based on perceptions of brand equity
Authors: Arsenos Panagiotis , Charamis Dimitrios , Garefalakis Alexandros
Published: April 2018

The paper explores the role of brand equity when pricing hypothetical brand extensions. Companies tend to use different pricing techniques for their products, and their pricing decisions are based on many factors, including image and category fit of the product with the existing image and products of the company. Brand extensions are usually investigated from a consumer perspective, focusing on the extension attitude, however, it is essential to understand the corporate decision-making process regarding pricing. Exploring this matter using quantitative research methods, the study provides empirical evidence that companies that have invested heavily in marketing actions in the past and have built strong brand equity over-time, show flexibility in the mark-up during the cost decision-making process of a hypothetical brand extensions. Variations in mark-up percentages are also observed when there is a difference in image and category fit of the extension to the original brand. However, companies characterized by greater brand equity exhibited greater flexibility in the mark-up percentages, even for low fit extensions.
Effects of increased proliferation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells by sphingosylphosphorylcholine on the survival of cryopreserved fat grafts
Authors: Bae Yong , Song Ji , Nam Kyeong , Kim Joo , Nam Su
Published: April 2018

The use of cryopreserved adipose tissue for soft-tissue augmentation is common, but the unpredictability of fat graft viability remains a limitation. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC) have been introduced to enhance viability and improve the survival of transplanted fat tissue. Sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) is a bioactive lipid molecule involved in various cellular responses. SPC stimulates the proliferation of various cell types such as hADSC. We demonstrated the effects of hADSC and SPC on the survival of cryopreserved fat grafts in nude mice. The cryopreserved fat grafts were treated with hADSC or hADSC+SPC, and a normal saline (control) mixture in BALB/c male nude mice. We examined the weight and volume of the mice in each group (n=11) at 8 weeks after transplantation to evaluate the survival of the fat tissue. The hADSC group showed increased weight and volume compared with the control group. The hADSC+SPC group showed a higher survival rate in terms of weight and volume than the control or hADSC group. In addition, the hADSC+SPC treatment significantly increased the expression of angiogenic factors. These results suggest the potential clinical utility of hADSC+SPC.

In this paper we study the horoball packings related to the hyperbolic 24
cell honeycomb by Coxeter-Schl?fli symbol {3,4,3,4} in the extended
hyperbolic 4-spaceH 4 where we allow horoballs in different types centered at
the various vertices of the 24 cell. Introducing the notion of the
generalized polyhedral density function, we determine the locally densest
horoball packing arrangement and its density with respect to the above
regular tiling. The maximal density is ? 0:71645 which is equal to the known
greatest horoball packing density in hyperbolic 4-space, given in [13].

Introduction

ParticipACTION is a Canadian physical activity communications and social
marketing organization relaunched in 2007. This study assesses the capacity of
Canadian organizations to adopt, implement, and promote physical activity initiatives.
The four objectives were to compare findings from baseline (2008) and follow-up (2013)
with respect to: (1) awareness of ParticipACTION; (2) organizational capacity to adopt,
implement and promote physical activity initiatives; (3) potential differences in capacity
based on organizational size, sector, and mandate; and (4) assess perceptions of
ParticipACTION five years after relaunch.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, representatives from local, provincial/territorial,
and national organizations completed an online survey assessing capacity to adopt,
implement, and promote physical activity. Descriptive statistics and one-way analyses
of variance were conducted to examine the objectives.

Results

Response rate for opening an email survey invitation and consenting to participate
was 40.6% (685/1688) and 540 surveys were completed. Awareness of ParticipACTION
increased from 54.6% at baseline to 93.9% at follow-up (Objective 1). Findings at both
baseline and follow-up reflected good organizational capacity to adopt, implement and
promote physical activity (Objective 2) although some varied by organizational sector
and mandate (Objective 3). Most respondents reported that ParticipACTION provided
positive leadership (65.3%), but there was less agreement regarding ParticipACTION’s
facilitation of infrastructure (44.0%) or organizational will/motivation (47.1%)(Objective 4).

Conclusion

Canadian organizations continue to report having good capacity to adopt,
implement, and promote physical activity. There was no discernible change in capacity
indicators five years after ParticipACTION’s relaunch although its broader contribution
to the physical activity sector was endorsed.
Application of ensemble of recurrent neural networks for forecasting of stock market sentiments
Authors: Maknickiene Nijole , Lapinskaite Indre , Maknickas Algirdas
Published: April 2018

Research background: Research and measurement of sentiments, and the integration of methods for sentiment analysis in forecasting models or trading strategies for financial markets are gaining increasing attention at present. The theories that claim it is difficult to predict the individual investor?s decision also claim that individual investors cause market instability due to their irrationality. The existing instability increases the need for scientific research.  

Purpose of the article: This paper is dedicated to establishing a link between the individual investors? behavior, which is expressed as sentiments, and the market dynamic, and is evaluated in the stock market. This article hypothesizes that the dynamics in the market is unequivocally related to the individual investor?s sentiments, and that this relationship occurs when the sentiments are expressed strongly and are unlimited.

Methods: The research was carried out invoking the method of Evolino RNN-based prediction model. The data for the research from AAII (American Association of Individual Investors), an investor sentiment survey, were used. Stock indices and sentiments are forecasted separately before being combined as a single composition of distributions.

Findings & Value added: The novelty of this paper is the prediction of sentiments of individual investors using an Evolino RNN-based prediction model. The results of this paper should be seen not only as the prediction of the connection and composition of investors? sentiments and stock indices, but also as the research of the dynamic of individual investors? sentiments and indices.
Intra-industry trade in differentiated and homogenous commodities: Brander and Krugman models unified
Authors: Cieślik Andrzej , Wincenciak Leszek
Published: April 2018

Research background: This paper extends the early papers by Brander (1981) and Brander and Krugman (1983) who used a simple partial equilibrium Cournot duopoly to a full general equilibrium setting. The explanations of intra-industry trade can be based either on oligopolistic reciprocal dumping idea (Brander, 1981) or product differentiation (Dixit and Norman, 1980; Krugman, 1979, 1980, 1981; Lancaster, 1980; Helpman, 1981). In this paper we combine both explanations in a unified general equilibrium model.

Purpose of the article: We develop a two-sector, one-factor general equilibrium model, in which the first sector produces a differentiated good under monopolistic competition and the second sector produces a homogenous good under Cournot oligopolistic competition. In this paper, we study how competition between domestic and foreign firms resulting from trade liberalization affects intra-industry trade in both sectors.

Methods: The paper develops a two-sector model based on several assumptions. Consumers have a two-tier utility function of the Cobb-Douglas-Spence-Dixit-Stiglitz form. Firms operate in two sectors and produce goods under increasing returns to scale resulting from the existence of fixed costs. One sector produces homogenous good under Cournot competition, and the second one produces a differentiated product in under Chamberlinian monopolistic competition. Free entry is assumed in both sectors. Labor is assumed to be the only factor of production with perfect mobility and full employment.

Findings & Value added: In contrast to previous papers, our study is based on a full general equilibrium Cournot oligopoly framework with many firms. Moreover, we endogenize the number of firms and study the resulting trading equilibria. Therefore, this paper can be regarded as the extension and unification of the early papers by Brander (1981), Brander and Krugman (1983) and Krugman (1979, 1980).
Import and FDI as channels of international TFP spillovers
Authors: Pietrucha Jacek , Żelazny Rafał , Kozłowska Magdalena , Sojka Oliwia
Published: April 2018

Research background: In existing studies two main channels of international technology spillovers are extensively discussed ? trade and FDI. Nevertheless empirical studies give mixed results regards the nature and extent of trade and FDI spillovers.

Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to study import and foreign direct investments (FDI) as channels of international TFP spillovers.

Methods: We employ dynamic spatial autoregression (SAR) methods. Our panel comprises data for 41 developed and upper mid-developed countries over the period 1995?2014.

Findings & Value added: Our preliminary results show that (1) the trade and investment channels are both important for technology transfer, (2) the degree of their significance depends on the absorptive capacity such as good quality of the institutions.
Entrepreneurial activity drivers in the transition economies. Evidence from the Visegrad countries
Authors: Zygmunt Justyna
Published: April 2018

Research background: Entrepreneurship issues in the transition economies have attracted growing attention from scholars in recent years. However, the debate over the value of entrepreneurship in reinforcing structural change is still incomplete. The need for a more thorough approach is noticeable, taking into account drivers which determine entrepreneurial activity in the transition economies. The findings may be useful for recognising opportunities and threats of the development of these economies.
Purpose of the article: This paper extends research on entrepreneurship in the transition economies by considering drivers of entrepreneurial activity. The aim of the paper is to investigate what drivers have their consequences for entrepreneurial activity in the Visegrad countries. As the Visegrad countries represent a unique context, because they faced a similar structure at the beginning of the transition process, a valuable insight can be gained by focusing on them.
Methods: Hypothesis development is based on the literature review. Fixed effects panel regression was employed for hypothesis testing. Panel data consists of 440 observations for the Visegrad countries for the 2004?2014 period. To control for autocorrelation and hetero-scedasticity, Durbin-Watson test and Wald statistic were used, respectively.
Findings & Value added: This paper contributes to the existing literature by pre-senting an analysis of drivers having their impact on entrepreneurial activity in the Visegrad countries. It provides new insights on understanding of the entrepreneur-ship issues in the transition economies. The main finding is that entrepreneurial activity in the Visegrad countries is determined significantly by the economy struc-ture and human capital. However, the signif-icance and the intensity of these effects are different. The findings may be interesting for policymakers in particular. Shifting from general entrepreneurship support towards a focus on promoting entrepreneurial behaviour among high-skilled workers should be considered. Fostering networking, collaboration and internalisation should be regarded for knowledge transfer and spillover enhancement.
Information infrastructure as a pillar of the knowledge-based economy ? an analysis of regional differentiation in Poland
Authors: Wierzbicka Wioletta
Published: April 2018

Research background: Information infrastructure is a very important pillar within a knowledge-based economy. The widespread use of information and communication technologies facilitates effective communication, dissemination and processing of information and knowledge. It also creates new opportunities for the effective use of knowledge and information in building competitive advantage. Information infrastructure is also a significant determinant in the development of  territorial units, and therefore it affects the regional dimension of building the knowledge-based economy in Poland.

Purpose of the article: The purpose of the study was to evaluate regional differentiation of the level of information infrastructure in Poland, and changes which occurred in this respect between 2010 and 2015. An attempt was made to provide an answer to the following question: Are regional differences in the level of information infrastructure in Poland increasing or decreasing, i.e. is a regional divergence or a regional convergence process taking place in this respect?

Methods: Taxonomic methods were used, including linear ordering based on a synthetic variable and a method of grouping linearly-ordered objects.

Findings & Value added: The regional differentiation of the level of information infra-structure in Poland has slightly decreased, which means, that a slow convergence process has taken place in this respect. This fact is confirmed by the value of the variation coefficient, which fell from a level of 17.6% in 2010 to a level of 14.4% in 2015. Convergence processes were observed in twelve provinces. In the case of seven of them, they had the nature of a catching-up effect, and in the case of the remaining five ? a lagging-behind effect. Divergence processes were observed in four provinces. The Dolnośląskie and Mazowieckie Provinces distanced themselves from other areas of the country. In the Małopolskie and Opolskie Provinces a marginalisation effect was observed.

This research meant to obtain a description on how much was the influence of the Indonesian’s Local Governments forwardness on the accrual-based Government Accounting System implementation to the quality of Local Government Financial Statements at the early stage of accrual basis execution in 2015. This research develops data from the Indonesian State Audit Institution’s Performance Audit Report on the Local Governments' Efforts in Implementing the Accrual-Based Government Accounting System by using three variables namely the commitment on regulation and policy; the Human Resource Management (HRM) in financial, assets, and Information Technology (IT); and the IT governance. Subsequently, examines the influence of those variables on the quality of 2015 Local Governments' Financial Statements. The results of this study indicate that the human resources on financial, asset and IT management have a positive influence on the quality of the accrual-based Local Governments' Financial Statements. Conversely, the commitment to regulation and policies and the IT management did not have a sufficient effect on the improvement of the accrual-based Local Governments' Financial Statements quality. Thus, this research provides a recommendation for Local Governments, especially for those who have not achieved unqualified opinion, to improve their HRM in financial, asset and IT management in the benefit of escalating their accrual-based financial statements quality.

Rutin is a flavanoid with many biological activities including antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and ant carcinogenic properties. Rutin along with Vitamin C and K combination are used as neutraceuticals in the treatment of Cancer, Haemorrhoids, Vit K deficiency, varicose veins, Wound healing, Scurvy e.t.c. The present study evaluates the anticancer effect of Rutin, Ascorbic acid and Menindione (RAM) combination against two cell lines, one cancer and one normal cell line using Hep G2 (Human liver carcinoma cells) and L929 (fibroblast) cells by MTT assay. Morphological changes after exposure with RAM were studied under phase contrast microscope in a dose dependent manner. RAM shows an IC 50 value of 47.99 µg/ml against Hep G2 and 23.612 against L929 respectively. This shows that the combination is more cytotoxic than promising anticancer activity which is contrary to the beneficial effects claimed by these formulations.

Published: April 2018

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a lovely tropical and subtropical fruit that originates in Mexico, Central America, and then taken to other distant and near parts around the world. In Sudan this popular fruit is produced in orchards and household and is so profitable but yet attacked by a lot of fruit fly species of the Genera Ceratitis and Bactrocera and the result is a loss of more than 70%. This research aimed at evaluating the effect of Gum Arabic coating (GAC) in extending the shelf life of guava fruit and disinfesting it from these notorious pests. Guava fruits from Kadaro orchards, Khartoum North, were tested using seven concentrations of Gum Arabic solutions. The results reflect that 1: 4 (25%) and 1: 8 (12.5%) (GA: water) concentrations attained 56 and 40% disinfestation, respectively whereas the other lower concentrations effected corresponding results in a range from 20 – 08%. The reduction in maggots per test fruit reached upto 188% as compared to the control.  The highest concentrations (1: 4 & 1: 8) effected a sustainability of 52% in fruit firmness (FF) with an average of medium (3) FF compared to soft FF (4) in the control. The corresponding results in other lower concentrations (1: 16; 1: 32; 1: 64; 1: 72 & 1: 96) were 36, 24, 24, 20 and 16%, respectively. In addition to an average FF of 4 (soft) for all these concentrations and 5 (very soft) for all the corresponding controls. Nevertheless, the sustainability of fruit color (FC) effected by the test concentrations was 52, 44, 24, 22, 24, 20, and 24%, respectively. Regarding these results, the two highest test concentrations effected a sizeable disinfestation and control of fruit flies and a good extension of shelf life of guava in Khartoum State. These findings support using this treatment as an effective IPM tool to extend guava fruit shelf life and upgrading its postharvest quality.
