Examining the Impact of Contextual Factors in Brand Relationship Initiation and Maintenance: Evidence from Bottom of Pyramid Markets
Authors: Banerjee Shubhomoy , Shaikh Ateeque 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThis study examines the impact of contextual factors on brand trust, brand loyalty and cross-buying from the perspective of the bottom of pyramid rural consumers in India. Two important contextual factors – distribution intensity and outshopping orientation – were used as the contextual factors. Effects of distribution intensity in the initiation and maintenance of consumer–brand relationships are first examined. Further, it explores the moderating role of in versus outshopping orientation in the formation and maintenance of long-term relationships between consumers and brands in bottom of pyramid markets. Data collected from 478 consumers in three villages in Gujarat, India, were analysed using structural equation modelling technique to test the hypothesized relationships using IBM AMOS 23 software. Distribution Intensity was found to positively influence brand trust. Brand trust was found to mediate the relationships between distribution intensity and brand loyalty and distribution intensity and cross buying. The importance of distribution intensity in relationship initiation was more pronounced for consumers who shopped from local retailers than those who did not. The study underlines the importance of distribution intensity of brands a relationship-based marketing strategy, especially in those products, where the switching costs are low. This study establishes the role of contextual factors in the formation and maintenance of consumer–brand relationships in the bottom of pyramid markets.

Abstract
The present study addresses the mechanical behavior of polypropylene self-reinforced composites (SRC’s) considering polymeric structural changes after cutting. Self-reinforced polypropylene composite is fabricated using the HOT compaction method by maintaining the processing temperature at 164∘C. Conventional and unconventional cutting methods were used to cut the samples of standard dimensions. FTIR images revealed the formation of C=C, C-F, Halogen bonds after AWJ cutting initiated a decrease in the surface roughness value to 4.5μm (R
a
). SEM analysis is performed to analyse structural integrity and damage of SRC’s. Structural changes formation after AWJ cutting leads to improve the ultimate tensile strength of the laminate by 20% compared to conventional cut samples. A similar trend is noticed for flexural properties and Shore –D hardness values for the SRC composite laminate correlated to polymeric changes with Conventional cutting due to the formation of C-N bond is observed after Laser cutting.
Thenãointerpolation in Classical and early Modern European Portuguese and the mapping between syntactic and phonological structures: An empirical study
Authors: Nkollo Mikołaj , Fiéis Alexandra 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThe central topic of the paper is clitic-verb non-adjacency (interpolation) in Classical and early Modern European Portuguese (EP). Throughout that period, the negative markernãowas the only expression likely to disrupt the continuity of clitic-verb sequences. The aims of the study are twofold. First, previous assumptions on the syntax of this pattern are matched against data retrieved from the texts stored in theBiblioteca Nacional Digital. The present analysis demonstrates, first, that clitic-verb adjacency and non-adjacency had divergent distributions depending on whether they occurred in obligatory proclisis contexts or in X-V-cl/X-cl-V variation ones. Whereas interpolation was the default choice in the former, clitic-verb adjacency was prevailing in the latter in the period under discussion. The second aim is to account for the overrepresentation, underpinned by corpus data, of 3rd person accusative pronouns in clauses with interpolation. In previous works, the origin of clitic-verb non-adjacency was couched either in semantic terms (the contribution ofnãoto the meaning of the VP) or in terms of clitic movement and increasing constraints on the status of Neg (Neg and clitic are both assumed to be affixes). In the present paper, interpolation is shown to have had an interface nature, with phonological factors playing a central role. The discontinuity of clitic-Verb sequences is thought to have helped speakers to get rid of the affixal attachment of theo,a,os,asseries to the preceding non-verbal sound material (nasal diphthongs innão,quem,ninguém, etc, coercing preverbal pronouns into taking a nasal onsetquem no,não no, etc.). As a consequence, in present day standard EP, clitic-specific allomorphy has become earmarked for enclisis.
Opioid tapering after surgery: a qualitative study of patients’ experiences
Authors: Uhrbrand Peter , Phillipsen Anne , Dreyer Pia , Nikolajsen Lone 
Published: May 2020

Abstract

Background and aims
Patients usually receive a prescription for morphine or another opioid at discharge after surgery. Several studies have shown that many patients do not step down but develop persistent opioid use following surgery. The purpose of this study was to gain insight of patients’ experiences with opioid tapering after surgery and to propose recommendations for clinicians to assist patients in opioid tapering.

Methods
Using a qualitative study design, 15 adult patients who took opioids before surgery and still had a daily consumption of opioids 6 months following spine surgery were interviewed.

Results
Analyses of the transcripts identified three major themes and eight subthemes. The major themes were as follows: (1) The patients’ experienced that their whole life revolved around pain and opioids and felt stigmatized and suspected of being drug addicts by their social circle and health care professionals (2) Barriers for opioid tapering were increased pain, opioid dependency and fear of withdrawal symptoms (3) Motivational factors for opioid tapering were fear of dependency, the prospect of a better health, patient involvement in opioid tapering and a trusting relationship between patient and clinician.

Conclusions
The results of this study highlight that opioid tapering is challenging and may be influenced by many different factors. Some patients find opioid tapering particularly difficult and therefore need additional assistance in order to taper off successfully.

Implications
For opioid tapering to succeed, it is highly important to establish a trustful relationship with the patients, to take each patient’s personal circumstances into account and to address fears of increased pain and withdrawal symptoms. Clinicians should also focus on patient involvement in opioid tapering and consider to offer a follow-up after discharge to patients at risk for prolonged opioid use.
The Archive Iris Meder in Vienna, Austria
Authors: Feiersinger Elise 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Iris Meder (1965–2018) was a Vienna-based art historian. A large portion of her work and library is dedicated to the Danube region. On 15 November 2019, the Österreichische Gesellschaft für Architektur (Austrian Society for Architecture, ÖGFA) inaugurated the Archive Iris Meder. The author examines how Iris Meder, who grew up on the western border of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, became an expert in her field. Historical chronicles and the experience of the present are in accord: seldom can a private library’s books be preserved as a coherent and recognizable collection. The author gives a glimpse into the inner workings of an impressively versatile, highly knowledgeable independent scholar, and the journey undertaken by the ÖGFA to make her archive available to the public.

Published: May 2020

Abstract

Objective
Deltamethrin, synthetic pyrethroid, is a suspected endocrine disruptor contaminating ecosystems as toxic pollutant via agricultural activities and vector controls. The objective of the study is to determine the possible effects on human by evaluating antioxidant enzyme levels and total antioxidant status (TAS) of invertebrate model organism crayfish exposure to sublethal deltamethrin.

Materials and methods
Crayfish were exposed to 0.05 μg/L deltamethrin for 48 h and 7 days. Hemolymph samples were taken for TAS and total haemocyte counts (THCs). Gill, hepatopancreas and muscle tissues were examined for superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathion peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) enzyme activities.

Results
THCs were decreased (p < 0.05) and hemolymph TAS levels were increased according to control groups. Gill SOD, CAT and GPx enzyme activities were significantly rised. Hepatopancreas SOD activities unchanged. Hepatopancreas CAT activities were increased significantly after 48 h (p < 0.05), but returned back to controls after 7 days. Hepatopancreas GPx and muscle SOD activities were rised (p < 0.05), while muscle CAT and GPx values did not affect from deltametrin.

Conclusion
Deterioration of ecosystems are directly affect the humans. The toxic effects of deltamethrin for different stages of organisms on the food web will provide basic data to understand and estimate the effects on the human beings.
Lipidomics and cognitive dysfunction – A Narrative review
Authors: Chakraborty Arpita , Praharaj Samir Kumar , Prabhu R. V. Krishnananda , Prabhu M. Mukhyaprana 
Published: May 2020

Abstract

Background
More than half portion of the brain is formed by lipids. They play critical roles in maintaining the brain's structural and functional components. Any dysregulation in these brain lipids can lead to cognitive dysfunction which are associated with neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, vascular dementia etc. Studies have linked lipids with cognitive impairment. But not much has been studied about the complex brain lipids which might play a pivotal role in cognitive impairment. This review aims to highlight the lipidomic profiles in patients with cognitive dysfunction.

Results
Forty-five articles were reviewed. These studies show alterations in complex lipids such as sphingolipids, phospholipids, glycolipids and sterols in brain in various neurological disorders such as vascular dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. However, the classes of fatty acids in these lipids involved are different across studies.

Conclusions
There is a need for targeted lipidomics analysis, specifically including sphingolipids in patients with neurodegenerative disorders so as to improve diagnostics as well as management of these disorders.
How to Justify Principles of Justice
Authors: Guoqing Zhang 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
John Rawls assumes that in the original position, under the veil of ignorance, after bargaining amongst each other, free, equal, moral and rational persons would make a rational decision to accept the principles of justice as fairness and thus the principles are established. Critics, however, question the authenticity and validity of this justification strategy. When rational individuals take the principles of justice as an original agreement, it is not a real contract. Rawls’s conception of justice as fairness is just a personal notion, some individuals may accept it, but it is impossible to be accepted by all human beings in a real world. Therefore there is a justification/acceptance paradox of those principles which are the core of his political philosophy. So how should we justify those principles? Its answers may be provided not in the light of a philosophical justification but of a scientific one.
Rethinking Progress Today
Authors: Xingfu Wang , Siming Li 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Historical progress is a core belief of the Enlightenment and modernity, also a spiritual catalyst of human emancipation in the past centuries. However, due to the naive understanding of scholars and its misuse by political power, the idea of progress has fallen from a realistic political belief in the pursuit of liberty and democracy to a metaphysical faith and a one-sided ideology. Instead of abandoning the concept itself, this paper will provide a new version for progress. In this version, supported theoretically with ideas from a Marxian critique of the paradox of progress in capitalist society and a Habermasian reconstruction of social evolution and progress, progress shall not be understood as an intrinsic trend of history itself, but a “historical-practical project” of humanity. The intent of rewriting progress is to transcend the dilemma between progressivism and catastrophism while at the same time preserving its positive meaning.
Heideggerian Existence after Being and Time: In the Nameless ─ and a Brief Comparison of Namelessness and the Underlying Philosophy of Language between Heideggerian and Buddhist Perspectives
Authors: Po-shan Leung 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
In this article, the importance of the namelessness of language will be firstly explained through an analysis of authenticity in Heideggerian philosophy, and will be further clarified by way of the phenomenon of “profound boredom” from his Freiburg lecture. As the exploration of namelessness in Heideggerian philosophy plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between East and West, a brief comparison concerning the idea of namelessness and its underlying philosophy of language between the Heideggerian and the madhyamaka Buddhist tradition will also be discussed.
Forschungsthema Sakralarchitektur – zur Einleitung
Authors: Bräunlein Peter J. , Weiß Sabrina 
Published: May 2020

ZusammenfassungDer einleitende Beitrag der Schwerpunktausgabe behandelt die Konjunkturen des Themas Religion und Architektur innerhalb der religionswissenschaftlichen Forschung der vergangenen Jahrzehnte. Ausgangspunkt ist die Beobachtung, dass Architektur in der religionswissenschaftlichen Fachgeschichte zwar immer wieder Gegenstand theoretischer Ansätze und methodischer Überlegungen war, aber bisher keine umfassende religionswissenschaftliche Methodologie zu diesem Gegenstand entwickelt worden ist und Architektur als solche nach wie vor als religionswissenschaftliche Quelle ein Desiderat darstellt. Vielmehr fungierte religiöse Architektur in den jüngsten Debatten zu raum- oder migrationsbezogenen Themen als Blaupause. Religiöser Architektur wird zwar oftmals Bedeutung zugesprochen, z. B. als Kontaktzone oder in ihrer raumbildenden und strukturierenden Funktion,wiesie jedoch Bedeutung erzeugt, stellt nach wie vor eine zentrale Frage dar, die noch nicht hinreichend und religionswissenschaftlich vergleichend untersucht worden ist. An der Schnittstelle zwischen Material Turn und Spatial Turn gerät religiöse Architektur nun wieder zunehmend in den Fokus aktueller religionswissenschaftlicher, soziologischer, kunsthistorischer und architekturtheoretischer Forschungsvorhaben. Die Einleitung führt exemplarisch in ausgewählte Disziplinen ein, die zur Beschäftigung mit religiöser Architektur Anregungen bieten, und versteht sich als Anstoß, die religionswissenschaftliche Debatte zu diesem Gegenstand voran zu treiben. Die Schwerpunktausgabe führt entsprechend religionshistorische wie systematische Beiträge zusammen, die sich auf unterschiedliche Weise diesem breiten Gegenstand nähern.
Das Potenzial eines Lieferkettengesetzes einen Beitrag zur Optimierung bestehender sozial-ökologischer Konditionen zu leisten
Authors: Siakala Sara , Müller Martin 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
This paper analyses the question whether, and if so, under what conditions, a supply chain law could have a positive impact on the existing social and ecological conditions. Since supply chains represent one of the most important levers for business to create positive impact in the world, a supply chain law generally has great potential to make a positive contribution. Compared to voluntary commitments it can be assumed that a law would increase the willingness of companies to implement sustainable supply chain measures. Furthermore, it can be assumed that a regulation or at least a directive at the EU level would mitigate the risk of a competitive disadvantage of companies that are investing in sustainable supply chain measures compared to those companies that are not taking comparable steps. The real potential of a supply chain law, however, depends on the specific regulation, influenced essentially by the concrete provisions, the responsibility scope, the implementation flexibility and the penalty mechanisms.
Predicting Imperfect Echo Dynamics in Many-Body Quantum Systems
Authors: Dabelow Lennart , Reimann Peter 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Echo protocols provide a means to investigate the arrow of time in macroscopic processes. Starting from a nonequilibrium state, the many-body quantum system under study is evolved for a certain period of time τ. Thereafter, an (effective) time reversal is performed that would – if implemented perfectly – take the system back to the initial state after another time period τ. Typical examples are nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and polarisation echo experiments. The presence of small, uncontrolled inaccuracies during the backward propagation results in deviations of the “echo signal” from the original evolution and can be exploited to quantify the instability of nonequilibrium states and the irreversibility of the dynamics. We derive an analytic prediction for the typical dependence of this echo signal for macroscopic observables on the magnitude of the inaccuracies and on the duration τ of the process, and verify it in numerical examples.
Modulations in Self-Organization Properties of Surfactant in Aqueous Ionic Liquid Media
Authors: Kumar Harsh , Katal Arjuna , Rawat Naval Kishor 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) give a wide scope of favorable applications due to their much-upgraded properties. The strong electrostatic interactions between the cationic moiety of IL and the anionic surfactant play a very important role in the assembly of the large aggregates. We have investigated the aggregation behavior of anionic surfactants and IL in aqueous solution. Different temperatures and concentrations of IL have been taken to study the effect on critical micelles concentrations of surfactant. The critical micelle concentration values obtained by conductivity measurements are further confirmed by the fluorescence studies. The method is based on the fit of the experimental obtained raw data of fluorescence spectroscopy to a simple nonlinear category of a Boltzmann type sigmoidal function.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has required rapid transformation and adaptation of healthcare services. Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are one of the largest high-risk groups accessing antenatal care. In reformulating the care offered to those with GDM, there is a need to balance the sometimes competing requirement of lowering the risk of direct viral transmission against the potential adverse impact of service changes. We suggest pragmatic options for screening of GDM in a pandemic setting based on blood tests, and risk calculators applied to underlying risk factors. Alternative models for antenatal care provision for women with GDM, including targeting high-risk groups, early lifestyle interventions and remote monitoring are provided. Testing options and their timing for postpartum screening in women who had GDM are also considered. Our suggestions are only applicable in a pandemic scenario, and usual guidelines and care pathways should be re-implemented as soon as possible and appropriate.
Österreichische Gerichtsentscheidungen zur Ad-hoc-Publizität als zusätzliche Orientierungshilfe für den deutschen Kapitalmarkt
Authors: Rathammer Matthias , Sam Markus 
Published: May 2020

Zusammenfassung
Unternehmen, die an einer europäischen Börse gelistet sind, müssen Insiderinformationen, die sie unmittelbar betreffen, unverzüglich veröffentlichen. Solche Veröffentlichungen werden auch als Ad-hoc-Meldungen bezeichnet. Die Ad-hoc-Publizität spielt in der Rechtspraxis eine große Rolle und ist von wesentlicher Bedeutung, um Insidergeschäften und der Irreführung von Anlegern vorzubeugen Die Einschätzung, ob Sachverhalte im unternehmerischen Alltag als Insiderinformation einzustufen sind sowie in weiterer Folge die Frage nach dem richtigen Zeitpunkt für deren Veröffentlichung, stellt für Emittenten oftmals eine Herausforderung dar.
Diesen Schwierigkeiten für Emittenten bei der Beurteilung von Sachverhalten im täglichen Arbeitsablauf begegneten die Autoren in den letzten Jahren verstärkt. Speziell vor dem Hintergrund der weitreichenden gesetzlichen Verpflichtungen sowie des deutlich erhöhten Strafrahmens von bis zu 2,5 Mio. € oder 2 % des jährlichen Gesamtumsatzes des Unternehmens für juristische Personen und 1 Mio. € für natürliche Personen seit in Kraft treten der Marktmissbrauchsverordnung (MAR) im Jahr 2016 soll dieser Artikel eine Hilfestellung zur Einschätzung derartiger Sachverhalte geben. Dazu bietet der Beitrag einen komprimierten Blick auf Entscheidungen österreichischer Gerichte, die sich mit der Ad-hoc-Publizitätspflicht befasst haben. Die gerichtlichen Erkenntnisse werden zusammengefasst dargestellt und praxisorientierte Kernaussagen für den Umgang mit Insiderinformationen bei börsennotierten Unternehmen (Emittenten) herausgearbeitet.
