Role of brand experience in shaping brand love
Authors: Joshi Richa , Garg Prerna 
Published: September 2020

AbstractConsumer–brand relationships are witnessing a tremendous upheaval from the past few years, with emotions becoming a predictor of a brand's fate. Brand love is a construct that reflects the passionate emotional attachment of a consumer with a brand, thus, it has captured the attention of practitioners around the globe. Moreover, Gen Z consumers of countries like India have also shown huge emotional sensitivity while purchasing fashion apparel brands since these brands intensify their social image. The marketers, therefore, are looking out for strategic alternatives to engage the consumer and stimulate their emotions. In view of this, the present study adds to the existing body of literature by introducing novel linkages in branding by examining the mediating role of brand engagement in shaping loyalty intentions. The study also recognizes the moderating role of experience with several proposed relationships concerning brand love. For this purpose, cross‐sectional research was carried out by collecting responses from Gen Z consumers. The results reveal the significant mediating role of brand engagement between brand love and loyalty intention and confirms the moderating role of brand experience in two relationships (i.e., brand trust and brand image) with brand love while insignificant with brand satisfaction. It has also observed direct and indirect effects of brand love, thus, extending existing models and proposed theories. Emerging markets like India have massive potential for marketers in almost all product categories. However, the fashion apparel category has come out as an attractive industry due to the emergence of fashion‐conscious generation, that is, gen Z. The marketers today focus on the loyalty of the customer therefore, a study articulating loyalty intention and its precursors would help in constituting several branding strategies.
Consumption and life satisfaction: The Korean evidence
Authors: Choung Youngjoo , Pak Tae‐Young , Chatterjee Swarn 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThis study examines the association between consumption expenditure and life satisfaction among older Koreans (aged 50 or older). We estimate a series of individual fixed effects regressions that link life satisfaction to various types of household consumption using data drawn from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging. The results show that leisure consumption is positively related to life satisfaction and that this association is driven largely by uncommon and infrequent leisure activities, like travel and entertainment. Expenditures for leisure that provides more ordinary experiences, such as recreation and self‐development programs, were generally uncorrelated with life satisfaction, despite being consumed by a large fraction of older Koreans. Finally, the evidence on whether material purchases or status‐enhancing purchases were positively correlated with life satisfaction is mixed. On the one hand, our findings reaffirm the conventional wisdom that people feel more satisfied when spending money on experiences than on material possessions. On the other hand, we provide the novel finding that consumption directed towards extraordinary and memorable experiences that go beyond everyday life tends to generate greater life satisfaction.
Children of the Sun: a historical look at how pediatric light therapy shaped attitudes and behaviors toward sunbathing
Authors: Bax Christina E. , James William D. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractToday, parents are warned to protect their children from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, the most preventable and leading cause of skin cancer. Yet, during the first half of the 20th century, the medical community widely extolled the health benefits of daily sunbaths for babies and children. What initially had begun as evidence‐based medical therapies to prevent pediatric diseases, specifically tuberculosis and rickets, soon took on a life of its own as physicians, public health experts, and the general public embraced sunbathing and tanning as a means to ensure health and wellbeing for children and families. Here, we trace how specific medical therapies entered mainstream pediatric medicine and, converging with societal and cultural forces, shaped attitudes and behaviors towards sunbathing that still exist today. Understanding our complex history with the sun may shed light on the current peak of skin cancer incidence and future disease development. Moreover, it may help improve how we educate parents and children about sun safety by taking into account the current social and cultural context of medical practice and health communication.

AbstractBackgroundTemporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a condition, in which multiple factors act synergistically to determine the outcome of the disorder.AimA systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between genetic polymorphisms in catechol‐O‐methyltransferase (COMT) and TMD.DesignObservational studies that investigated this association were included. The risk of bias and study quality were evaluated according to the Newcastle‐Ottawa tool. The meta‐analysis was performed for each polymorphism associated with TMD signs and symptoms.ResultsA total of 1903 articles were identified. Ten remained in the qualitative analysis: six were classified as low risk of bias and four with moderate risk of bias, and three were included in the meta‐analysis. The polymorphism rs6269, in the genotypic model (0.65; CI = 0.44‐0.97; P = .04) and in the allelic model (0.73; CI = 0.54‐0.98; P = .04), was associated with myofascial pain. The rs9332377 was associated with myofascial pain in the genotypic model (2.69; CI = 1.51‐4.76; P = .0007) and in the allelic model (1.46; CI = 1.01‐2.13; P = .05) and with painful TMD in the genotypic model (2.08; CI = 1.27‐3.40; P = .004) and in the allelic model (1.34 CI = 0.98‐1.82; P = .06).ConclusionThe polymorphisms in COMT were significantly associated with TMD.

Published: September 2020

AbstractBackgroundDentists should assess pathways influencing the increment of dental caries among children to guide the prevention and treatment of the disease.AimEvaluate the pathways that influence the increment of carious lesions in pre‐school children.DesignThis is a 2‐year cohort study was conducted with a random sample of 639 pre‐school children in southern Brazil. Caries experience, socioeconomic status (SES), social capital, and psychosocial characteristics were obtained at baseline. Increment of dental caries was assessed at 2 years follow‐up in 467 children (cohort retention rate of 73.1%). Previously calibrated examiners assess the caries through the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to test the pathways influencing dental caries increment.ResultsDental caries at baseline was heavily influenced by children's age (SC: 0.381, P < .01), tooth plaque (SC: 0.077, P = .02), parent's perception child oral health (SC: 0.295, P < .01), and household (SC: 0.148, P < .01). Increment of dental caries was directly affected by dental caries at baseline (Standardized Coefficients [SC]: 0.377, P < .01). Indirect paths were not significant.ConclusionsDental caries experience was the main factor of direct influence on the increment of caries, reinforcing the theory of risk accumulation over time.

Authors: Zheng Yu , Luo Xudong , You Jiegang , Li Ting , Hou Qingdong 
Published: September 2020

AbstractCeramic foam materials with highly porous microstructure are playing vital role in increasing areas, especially for those with requirements for open channels and superior specific surface area. In this work, a simple and versatile approach to prepare ceramic foams with open pores has been proposed, that is gelation of boehmite nanoparticle‐assembled emulsions. Notably, hierarchical porous microstructure with open channels and uniform pore structure has been built. High specific surface area up to389.4 m2/g is attainable, making it excellent adsorption material when combining the merit of hierarchical pore structure. Furthermore, lattice‐shaped ceramics are prepared via direct ink writing gelled emulsion, displaying the potential of forming lightweight material with complex shape and designable macrostructure. The three‐dimensional (3D) printed foams exhibit multiple open pores, which cover length scale from mm scale, to μm scale and nm scale, making them promising materials in several fields like adsorption and gas filtrations, etc.

Authors: Daniel Barros Marcelo , Jelitto Hans , Hotza Dachamir , Janssen Rolf 
Published: September 2020

AbstractTapes of TiO2‐MnO‐doped alumina (d‐Al2O3) and pure alumina (Al2O3) were shaped via tape casting. Laminates with three different layer numbers and respective thicknesses were produced and sintered at 1200°C. The microstructure and mechanical behavior of laminates were investigated and compared to the respective monolithic references (d‐Al2O3 and Al2O3). The use of dopants in alumina decreased the initial sintering temperature, leading to higher densification at 1200°C (~98% theoretical density (TD)) when compared to Al2O3 (~73% TD). The higher density was reflected in a higher Young's modulus and hardness for doped alumina. A region of diffusion of dopants in pure alumina layers was observed along the interface with doped layers. The mechanical strength of d‐Al2O3 samples sintered at 1200°C was not statistically different from Al2O3 samples sintered at 1350°C. The strength of laminates composed of doped layers with undoped, porous interlayers did not change. Nevertheless, as the thickness of these porous interlayers increases, a loss of strength was observed. Monolithic references showed constant values of fracture toughness (KIC), ~2 MPa·m1/2, and linear crack path. On the other hand, KIC of laminates increases when the crack propagates from weak Al2O3 layers to dense d‐Al2O3 layers.

AbstractIntroductionAlthough the presence of left atrial low‐voltage areas (LVAs) is strongly associated with the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after ablation, few methods are available to classify the prevalence of LVAs. The purpose of this study was to establish a risk score for predicting the prevalence of LVAs in patients undergoing ablation for AF.MethodsWe enrolled 1004 consecutive patients who underwent initial ablation for AF (age, 68 ± 10 years old; female, 346 (34%); persistent AF, 513 (51%)). LVAs were deemed present when the voltage map after pulmonary vein isolation demonstrated low‐voltage areas with a peak‐to‐peak bipolar voltage of <0.5 mV covering ≥5 cm2 of the left atrium.ResultsLVAs were present in 206 (21%) patients. The SPEED score was obtained as the total number of independent predictors as identified on multivariate analysis, namely female sex (odds ratio [OR], 3.4 [95% confidence interval {CI} 2.2–5.2], p < .01), persistent AF (OR, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.1–3.0], p = .02), age ≥ 70 years (OR, 2.3 [95% CI, 1.5–3.4], p < .01), elevated brain natriuretic peptide ≥100 pg/ml or N‐terminal probrain natriuretic peptide ≥400 pg/ml (OR, 1.7 [95% CI, 1.02–2.8], p = .04), and diabetes mellitus (OR, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.1–2.8], p = .02). LVAs were more frequent in patients with a higher SPEED score, and prevalence increased with each additional SPEED score point (OR, 2.4 [95% CI, 2.0–2.8], p < .01).ConclusionThe SPEED score accurately predicts the prevalence of LVAs in patients undergoing ablation for AF.

Published: September 2020

AbstractCholine is an important nutrient involved in multiple biosynthesis pathways. However, whether circulating choline levels are associated with the risk of hypertension (HTN) and artery stenosis in HTN remains unknown. We investigated the correlations of plasma choline with HTN and coronary artery injury and explored the utility of plasma choline as a diagnostic biomarker for HTN and artery stenosis. 193 HTN patients and 154 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy controls (CON) were recruited in this study. Fasting plasma choline was detected using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Choline levels were significantly higher in HTN without artery stenosis (HTN‐AS) than CON (8.07 [7.19‐9.24] μM vs 7.03 [6.21‐8.13] μM, P < .01) group and were further upregulated in HTN with artery stenosis (HTN + AS) (8.63 [7.09‐10.59] μM, P < .01) group. Patients with multivessel disease (MVD) also exhibited higher choline levels than those with single vessel disease (SVD) (8.64 [7.16‐10.55] μM vs 8.04(6.74‐9.38) μM, P < .01). Increased choline levels were independently associated with the risk of HTN (OR = 1.2, 95% CI: 1‐1.45, P = .05), HTN + AS (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.09‐1.48, P < .01), and MVD (OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.02‐1.31, P = .02) after adjustment for multiple risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that choline had an area under curve (AUC) score of 0.69, 0.67, and 0.63 in determining HTN, HTN + AS, and MVD. In conclusion, higher choline levels were associated with increased risk of HTN and artery stenosis in hypertensive patients.

Published: September 2020

AbstractWe aimed to investigate myocardial performance using pressure‐strain loops in hypertensive patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). This cross‐sectional study included 165 subjects (55 controls, 60 hypertensive patients without DM, and 50 hypertensive patients with DM) who underwent complete two‐dimensional echocardiographic examination (2DE) including two‐dimensional speckle‐tracking echocardiography. Pressure‐strain curve was used to determine global myocardial work index, constructive work, wasted work, and work efficiency in all study participants. Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal and circumferential strains gradually reduced from controls throughout hypertensive subjects to patients with DM and hypertension. Global myocardial work index gradually increased from controls, throughout hypertensive patients to subjects with hypertension and DM (1887 ± 289 vs 2073 ± 311 vs 2144 ± 345 mm Hg%, P = .001). Constructive work increased in the same direction (2040 ± 319 vs 2197 ± 344 vs 2355 ± 379 mm Hg%, P < .001). Work efficiency and wasted work did not differ between three observed groups. Glycosylated hemoglobin and systolic blood pressure were associated with global myocardial work and constructive work independently of age, body mass index, LV structural and functional parameters in all hypertensive participants. In conclusion, pressure‐strain curve showed that myocardial work was significantly affected by hypertension and diabetes. Diabetes demonstrated an additional negative effect on myocardial work in hypertensive patients.

Published: September 2020

AbstractN6‐methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation, the most prevalent internal chemical modification of mRNA, has been reported to participate in the progression of various tumours via the dynamic regulation of m6A RNA methylation regulators. However, the role of m6A RNA methylation regulators in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has never been reported. This study aimed to determine the expression and potential functions of m6A RNA methylation regulators in COPD. Four gene expression data sets were acquired from Gene Expression Omnibus. Gene ontology function, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses, weighted correlation network analysis and protein‐protein interaction network analysis were performed. The correlation analyses of m6A RNA methylation regulators and key COPD genes were also performed. We found that the mRNA expressions of IGF2BP3, FTO, METTL3 and YTHDC2, which have the significant associations with some key genes enriched in the signalling pathway and biological processes that promote the development progression of COPD, are highly correlated with the occurrence of COPD. In conclusion, six central m6A RNA methylation regulators could contribute to the occurrence of COPD. This study provides important evidence for further examination of the role of m6A RNA methylation in COPD.

AbstractBackgroundFollowing the first investigational study on the use of extracorporeal photopheresis for the treatment of cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma published in 1983, this technology has received continued use and further recognition for additional earlier as well as refractory forms. After the publication of the first guidelines for this technology in the JEADV in 2014, this technology has maintained additional promise in the treatment of other severe and refractory conditions in a multidisciplinary setting. It has confirmed recognition in well‐known documented conditions such as graft‐vs.‐host disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, systemic sclerosis, solid organ transplant rejection including lung, heart and liver and to a lesser extent inflammatory bowel disease.Materials and methodsIn order to further provide recognized expert practical guidelines for the use of this technology for all indications, the European Dermatology Forum (EDF) again proceeded to address these questions in the hands of the recognized experts within and outside the field of dermatology. This was done using the recognized and approved guidelines of EDF for this task. All authors had the opportunity to review each contribution as it was added.Results and conclusionThese updated 2020 guidelines provide at present the most comprehensive available expert recommendations for the use of extracorporeal photopheresis based on the available published literature and expert consensus opinion. The guidelines were divided into two parts: PART I covers Cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma, chronic graft‐vs.‐host disease and acute graft‐vs.‐host disease, while PART II will cover scleroderma, solid organ transplantation, Crohn’s disease, use of ECP in paediatric patients, atopic dermatitis, type 1 diabetes, pemphigus, epidermolysis bullosa acquisita and erosive oral lichen planus.

Published: September 2020

AbstractIn this study, we proposed deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) combined with image processing to classify cashew kernels in five categories based on the adulteration of first‐class fancy whole cashew kernels with butts and pieces. Four DCNN models, including Inception‐V3, ResNet50, VGG‐16, and a custom model were implemented, and their performances were compared using model evaluators, such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, and F1‐score. Overall, all the models showed a high performance with a minimum accuracy of 95.1% and the training and validation data curves demonstrated a good fitting of the models. Although all the models demonstrated promising potential for cashew classification, Inception‐V3 and ResNet50 neural networks delivered the most promising outcome with the highest accuracies (each 98.4%) and F1‐scores (each 96%). Custom‐built model showed the least accuracy (95.1%) and F1‐score (87.9%). The findings of current work indicate that the developed DCNN models are capable of achieving automatic, fast, and accurate cashew classification.Practical applicationCurrently, the sorting and grading of cashew kernel are mostly manual and time‐consuming process and the deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) or Deep Learning implemented in this study can facilitate a speedy and automated cashew classification in cashew industry worldwide.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESHospitalization is common among older adults with disability, many of whom receive help from a caregiver and have dementia. Our objective was to evaluate the association between caregiver factors and risk of hospitalization and whether associations differ by dementia status.DESIGNLongitudinal observational study.SETTINGThe 1999 and 2004 National Long‐Term Care Survey and the 2011 and 2015 National Health and Aging Trends Study, linked caregiver surveys, and Medicare claims.PARTICIPANTSA total of 2,589 community‐living Medicare fee‐for‐service beneficiaries, aged 65 years or older (mean age = 79 years; 63% women; 31% with dementia), with self‐care or mobility disability and their primary family or unpaid caregiver.MEASUREMENTSSelf‐reported characteristics of older adults and their caregivers were assessed from older adult and caregiver survey interviews. Older adult hospitalization over the subsequent 12 months was identified in Medicare claims. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for older adult characteristics and were stratified by dementia status.RESULTSIn this nationally representative cohort, 38% of older adults with disabilities were hospitalized over 12 months following interview. Increased hospitalization risk was associated with having a primary caregiver who helped with healthcare tasks (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.22; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.05–1.40), reported physical strain (aHR = 1.21; 95% CI = 1.04–1.42), and provided more than 40 hours of care weekly (aHR = 1.26; 95% CI = 1.04–1.54 vs ≤20 hours). Having a caregiver who had helped for 4 years or longer (vs <1 year) was associated with 38% lower risk of hospitalization (aHR = 0.62; 95% CI = 0.49–0.79). Older adults with and without dementia had similar rates of hospitalization (39.5% vs 37.3%; P = .4), and caregiving factors were similarly associated with hospitalization regardless of older adults' dementia status.CONCLUSIONSelect caregiving characteristics are associated with hospitalization risk among older adults with disability. Hospitalization risk reduction strategies may benefit from understanding and addressing caregiving circumstances.
