Managing Negative Celebrity Endorser Publicity: How Announcements of Firm (Non)Responses Affect Stock Returns
Authors: Hock Stefan J. , Raithel Sascha 
Published: March 2019

Celebrity endorsers can cause negative publicity that can spill over to the endorsed brand. However, little is known about the economic effects of firm reactions to these events. This study fills this gap and estimates how announcements of firms’ reactions (yes versus no), timing (slow versus fast), and type (maintain/suspend versus no reaction) affect daily abnormal stock returns (ARs) following negative publicity. Using 128 events of negative endorser publicity between 1988 and 2016 affecting firms in 230 cases, this study offers new and economically relevant insights. The most surprising finding is that firms can gain value depending on their response. Announcements of firms’ reactions positively affect ARs, especially if they occur quickly after negative publicity surfaces. The analyses reveal that fast (slow) announcements of firms’ reactions increase (decrease) firm value by 2.10% (−1.88%) over the next four trading weeks. Results also show that issuing statements suspending or maintaining the endorser both yield more positive ARs than not reacting at all. Further analyses identify conditions under which the stock market rewards maintaining or suspending an endorser. Firms have more positive ARs when they (1) suspend higher-blame endorsers, (2) suspend endorsers whose negative publicity is related to their occupation, (3) maintain endorsers with a high product fit, and (4) do not suspend apologetic endorsers. This study discusses implications for theory and practice and provides a strong empirical foundation for understanding the consequences of firm reaction announcements to negative celebrity endorser publicity.This paper was accepted by Juanjuan Zhang, marketing.
Construction of the Blackademic: An arts-based tale of identity in and through academia
Authors: Wilson Gloria J. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The act of making a doctoral gown is a response and metaphor to describe the construction, reinforcement and intersections of racial and academic identity within a probationary period of employment in academia known as tenure-track. A collective arts-based autoethnographic project inspired my garment-making to examine three salient racializing moments during my transition from a Ph.D. programme and into the first four years of a tenure-track position. I use concepts of garment construction – marking, pinning, measuring, pressing and stitching – as aesthetic interludes to illuminate and organize moments of intersubjective dialogue, which ultimately lead to an ascribed racialized academic identification. The construction of a Blackademic identity emerges, inspiring the creation of academic regalia. This arts-based project describes a hypervisibility of racial experience within academic spaces and acts as a visual representation of systemic and intersectional factors, which have guided my movements in academia.
Impact of the Stringency of Attendance Policies on Class Attendance/Participation and Course Grades
Authors: Zhu Liugen , Huang Edgar , Defazio Joseph , Hook Sara Anne 
Published: March 2019

The purpose of this preliminary study was to investigate the impact of three diverse attendance and participation policies in face-to-face and online courses and the effect on students’ final grades in each course. We examined nine different undergraduate courses taught between Fall 2010 and Spring 2015. The results suggest that a more stringent attendance policy significantly impacts student attendance, absences were negatively correlated with course grades, and that course delivery methods were not predictive of either attendance/participation or course grades. Additional research is needed to determine what other factors might influence attendance and participation and correlation to course grades.

PENERAPAN SAKSI PIDANA KORPORASI PADA BANK DAN IMPLIKASINYA
Authors: Ramelan Yudha 
Published: March 2019

A criminal act by corporation is criminal offense that can be asked for criminal liability to the corporation in accordance with the laws and regulations concerning the corporation. Banks as corporate legal entities can be prosecuted before the law and tried if in carrying out their business activities the bank is suspected of committing a crime that is threatened with criminal sanction, including committing a crime of money laundering or corruption. Corporation can be punished to pay fine penalties and other additional penalties such as dissolution or revocation of business licenses. As a trust-based financial institution, if a bank commits a crime, the impact caused by the crime is not only detrimental to the bank itself, damages the reputation of the bank but also harms the community of depositors and other parties responsible for handling bank resolutions. Looking at the impact, the application of corporate criminal responsibility to banks must be carried out carefully and selectively. If these sanctions happen to a large-scale bank (systemic bank), it can be multiple effects cause.

Published: March 2019

Abstract

Background
Menthol is widely used as a constituent of functional foods and chemical drugs. In the present study, we investigated changes in the expression of cytochrome P450 isoform CYP3A4mRNA after treating human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells with menthol. We also examined the effects of pretreatment with menthol on the cytotoxic activity of paclitaxel (PAC) and vincristine (VIN), which are substrates of CYP3A4, in the cells.

Methods
HepG2 cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium. Expression of CYP3A4 was examined by the real-time polymerase chain reaction. Survival rate of HepG2 cells was evaluated by the MTT assay.

Results
The gene expression level of CYP3A4 in HepG2 cells was significantly reduced by treatment with menthol for 1 day. The viability of HepG2 cells was not affected by treatment with menthol alone once a day for two consecutive days. The degree of reduction in cell viability by PAC or VIN in HepG2 cells was significantly increased by menthol treatment for 24 h prior to exposure to these anti-cancer drugs.

Conclusions
These results demonstrate that menthol enhanced the anti-tumor effects of PAC and VIN through the downregulation of CYP3A4 in HepG2 cells without exerting cytotoxic activity.

Authors: Ding Xiaoming , Sun Liyuan , Huang Xu , Zhao Zhiwei 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The effects of both the microstructure and the original grain size on three-roll screw rolling process of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy bar were studied in the present work. The microstructure of Ti6Al4V titanium bar had a great influence on the mechanical properties of the rolling bar. When the original size was large, the grains were apparently refined but the microstructure was uneven. But for semi-finished titanium bar composed of fine equiaxed grains, the grains after rolling were fine and uniform. During the rolling process, the Ti6Al4V titanium alloy microstructure changed from equiaxed structure to the basket-weave one. After annealing at 800℃ for 1.5 hours and then cooling in air, the average tensile strength decreased from 984 MPa to 964 MPa; while after annealing at 950℃ for 1.5 hours and then cooling by water, and aging at 540℃ for 6 hours then cooling by air, the average tensile strength increased from 979 MPa to 1107 MPa.

Authors: Zhu Zhongliang , Khan Hasan Izhar , Cao Qi , Zhang Naiqiang 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The oxidation tests of Ferritic Steel T22 exposed to supercritical water (SCW) at 540–620°C and 25 MPa was performed for up to 1000 h. The oxidation rate increased with increasing exposure temperature and time. Oxide films formed on T22 have a double-layered structure with an outer layer consisting of iron oxide and an inner layer consisting of spinel oxide. Numerous pores on the surface can be observed at the initial oxidation stage while they seemed to heal with increasing exposure time at 620°C. Cracks occurred along grain boundaries in the oxide scale when T22 exposed for 200 h at 620°C. The influence of time and temperature on the oxidation of Ferritic Steel T22 was discussed.

Published: March 2019

Abstract

Background and aim
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses a threat to the mother and child. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of acupressure on the glycemic control and insulin requirement of GDM females.

Materials and methods
Thirty GDM female patients were randomized to either the study group (SG; n=15), which was treated with acupressure and the standard antenatal care, or the control group (CG; n=15), which was treated with the standard antenatal care. Fasting and 2-h post-prandial blood glucose levels, requirement for insulin and insulin resistance were measured at 24 and 36 weeks’ gestation (WG). Also, neonatal outcomes were registered at delivery.

Results
The pre intervention showed no statistically significant differences between SG and CG for baseline characteristics of participants (p>0.05). Within group analyses, after 12 weeks intervention had shown that 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), insulin resistance, number of required insulin and measure of utilized insulin were significantly reduced (p<0.05), with significant increase in body mass index (BMI) (p<0.05) in both groups. All outcome measures were not significantly changed (p>0.05) between both groups at 24 and 36 WG. No significant differences (p>0.05) in pregnancy and neonatal outcomes between both groups at labor.

Conclusions
Acupressure may help to reduce gestational diabetes or insulin treatment for overweight female patients with GDM.

Authors: Bogavac Mirjana , Jakovljević Ana , Nikolić Aleksandra , Milošević Tošić Mirjana , Perić Tamara , Belopavlović Zoran 
Published: March 2019

Abstract

Background
The aim of this study was to evaluate the markers of oxidative stress (OS), as well as the magnesium (Mg) concentration, pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) values in patients with previous recurrent miscarriages, with the purpose of comparing the level of OS with normal pregnancy.

Methods
The study was conducted as a prospective study, which included a total of 95 pregnant women divided into two groups. In the study group (n = 35), there were women with at least three consecutive previous miscarriages. The control group (n = 60) consisted of healthy pregnant women without previous miscarriages and complications in pregnancy. Blood samples were taken between the 11th and 14th weeks of gestation, and the values of superoxide dismutase (SOD-1), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and total antioxidant status (TAS) in the serum, as well as the Mg concentration, PAPP-A and β-hCG values were determined.

Results
The values of SOD and GHS-Px were statistically higher in the study group, while the values of TAS were statistically significantly higher in the control group. The values of the Mg concentration were statistically significantly higher in the control group, while the values of β-hCG were statistically significantly higher in the study group. When the study group was divided into subgroups according to the outcome of pregnancy, there were statistical differences in the level of GSH-Px, SOD between miscarriages and the term delivery group, as well as in the Mg concentration between miscarriages and the term delivery group and between the term and preterm delivery groups. Higher values of SOD and GHS-Px, and lower values of TAS and Mg concentration could be used as markers for the prediction of spontaneous miscarriages.

Conclusions
The results of this research indicated higher OS and exhaustion of antioxidant mechanisms in early pregnancy in a group with recurrent miscarriages. Also, lower values of serum Mg concentration could be one of the markers for the prediction of spontaneous miscarriages.
A Law-and-Economics Perspective on Cost-Sharing Rules for a Condo Elevator
Authors: Crettez Bertrand , Deloche Régis 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
How to enhance the maintenance, repair and improvement of condo buildings? We address this issue by focusing on the case of an elevator installation whose benefits are not uniform across units. We examine the link between majority approval and cost sharing. Relying on a cooperative game theory approach, we prove the coalitional stability of any cost allocation which is such that the unit shares are a non-decreasing function of the floor level. Second, we show that the two surplus allocations induced, respectively, by the de facto cost-sharing rule used in France and the equal cost-sharing rule may fail to be coalitionally stable. By insisting that the cost sharing must depend on the relative individual advantages provided by an improvement, French law increases the risk of disputes between neighbors, compared to other sharing rules.

Published: March 2019

AbstractIn the post-genomic era of big data in biology, computational approaches to integrate multiple heterogeneous data sets become increasingly important. Despite the availability of large amounts of omics data, the prioritisation of genes relevant for a specific functional pathway based on genetic screening experiments, remains a challenging task. Here, we introducenetprioR, a probabilistic generative model for semi-supervised integrative prioritisation of hit genes. The model integrates multiple network data sets representing gene–gene similarities and prior knowledge about gene functions from the literature with gene-based covariates, such as phenotypes measured in genetic perturbation screens, for example, by RNA interference or CRISPR/Cas9. We evaluatenetprioRon simulated data and show that the model outperforms current state-of-the-art methods in many scenarios and is on par otherwise. In an application to real biological data, we integrate 22 network data sets, 1784 prior knowledge class labels and 3840 RNA interference phenotypes in order to prioritise novel regulators of Notch signalling in Drosophila melanogaster. The biological relevance of our predictions is evaluated usingin silicoandin vivoexperiments.

“The helm is lost!”: Reframing psychological matters in non-routine technologically mediated interaction in a maritime context
Authors: Froholdt Lisa Loloma 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThe maritime industry is a dangerous and highly technologically saturated sector. Unfortunately, advancement in automation and technology have not minimised human error as intended. Interaction between humans and technology in the industry is also overtly pre-scripted. The main reason for this is to reduce human error by ensuring predictability in interaction. Ultimately, investigations of non-routine interaction are often based on a hindsight view of what went wrong in a given situation. This article analyses a collection of non-routine interactions that derive from a larger data corpus, using Discursive Psychology and Conversation Analysis. It argues that such a study can capture what is missing from some investigations, namely, what makes sense for crews in the context of a given non-routine situation. Despite the constraints and the challenges of technological complexity, this article argues that reframing psychological matters in non-routine technologically mediated interaction can be a new way of showing how such matters are dynamic, visible and manageable. This can inform the general debate of how to minimise human error, and more specifically, provide insight into the increasing inclusion of technology and as a consequence, the equally increasing amount of technologically mediated interaction that we will see in the future.
Writing Disability | Disabling Writing: E.T. Russian and the Fragmentation of Texts and Textures
Authors: Tarapata Olga 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
This paper focuses on the US-American queer disability artist E.T. Russian and the question of how the experience of disability can be translated into artistic experience and practice. Russian’s The Ring of Fire Anthology (2014) draws attention to the insufficiency of words and language and deploys a form of literary collage that presents an empowering testimony to her life as an amputee. While the author’s account of the pitfalls entailed in prosthetics as well as gender and class struggles is captivating in itself, the force of her work resides elsewhere: the reader cannot escape the ecstasy of fragmentation and intertextuality provoked by the arrangement, or derangement, of image and text. It is Russian’s palimpsest of essays, comics, interviews, dictionary entries, erotica, lonely hearts ads, poems, and technical drawings that offers an entryway into the multiplicity and fluidity of disability experience.
Deafness and Ethnic Identity: The Idea of a Deaf State and its Resonances with American Exceptionalism and Frontier Ideology
Authors: Rana Marion 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
This article focuses on the nineteenth century as a pivotal time for the development of a Deaf identity in the United States and examines the way John Jacob Flournoy’s idea of a “Deaf-Mute Commonwealth” touches upon core themes of American culture studies and history. In employing pivotal democratic ideas such as egalitarianism, liberty, and self-representation as well as elements of manifest destiny such as exceptionalism and the frontier ideology in order to raise support for a Deaf State, the creation and perpetuation of a Deaf identity bears strong similarities to the processes of American nation-building. This article will show how the endeavor to found a Deaf state was indicative of the separationist and secessionist movements in the United States at that time, and remains relevant to Deaf group identity today.
Whose Spirit is Eager? The Referent of Πνεῦμα in Mark 14,38 and the Intended Comparison
Authors: Bennema Cornelis 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Scholarship is divided on the referent of πνεῦμα in Mark 14,38. Most scholars (mainly English and French) favour an anthropological referent while a minority (some English and most German scholars) supports a divine referent. This study proposes that 14,38 refers to the divine spirit and that, in the broader context of Mark 13, the intended comparison is not of an inner human struggle but the contrast between two kinds of human existence. Members of the Jesus group can rely on divine assistance in testing situations while non-members have no access to this divine resource.
Laboratory Characterization of Asphalt Binders Containing a Chemical-Based Warm Mix Asphalt Additive

Published: March 2019

Abstract
Different technologies, namely foamed asphalt, synthetic waxes, zeolites, and chemical additives, are used to produce warm mix asphalt (WMA). This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of using different amounts of an amine-based chemical WMA additive on the rheology, performance grade (PG), and moisture-induced damage potential of an asphalt binder (PG 58-28). Superpave specifications were used to evaluate the rheological properties and PG of the asphalt binder. Also, a mechanistic approach-based on the surface free energy (SFE) method was used to evaluate the moisture-induced damage potential of the asphalt binder combined with commonly used aggregates in an asphalt mix. It was found that the dynamic viscosity of the asphalt binder was not significantly affected after blending it with the WMA additive. It was also observed that the Superpave high-temperature PG and the rutting factor did not reduce by an increase in the WMA additive content. However, the continuous low-temperature PG of the asphalt binder decreased with an increase in the amount of WMA additive. Furthermore, it was found that the fatigue resistance increased after blending the binder with the WMA additive. The SFE results of the asphalt binder revealed that the WMA additive used in this study reduced the moisture-induced damage potential of the asphalt mixes. However, the extent of this improvement was found to largely depend on the aggregate type. The outcomes of this study are expected to help better understand the influence of amine-based chemical WMA additives on rheological and long-term performance of asphalt mix.
Adatok Hekler Antal pályakezdéséhez levelek Hampel Józsefhez, legifj. Szász Károlyhoz és Koronghi Lippich Elekhez (1904–1909)
Authors: Mikó Árpád 
Published: March 2019

Antal Hekler (1882-1940) was one of the central figures of Hungarian classical archaeology and art historiography in the first half of the 20th century. He began his career at the Hungarian National Museum and continued at the Museum of Fine Arts (where he laid the foundation for the Antique Collection), he organized the short-lived Hungarian Scientific Institute in Constantinople (1916-1918) and from 1918 until his death he headed the Art History Department at the Pázmány Péter University. The work of his pupils determined 20th century Hungarian art historiography.
The presented letters shed light on the start of Hekler’s career. After graduation in law, he changed professions. Upon his personal encounter with the art of classical antiquity he began studying classical archaeology; he was encouraged to do so by his family and friends, too. He enrolled at the university of Munich where he became one of Adolf Furtwängler’s favourite students. He obtained his doctoral degree under his supervision in 1907. During his studies he pursued correspondence with his patron in Budapest, József Hampel (curator of the Old Collection in the National Museum), informing him of the academic life in Munich, his researches, travels, forming scholarly contacts all over Europe. In Munich, then Paris, London, Italy he met the leading researchers, curators of leading museums. He did not only publish his research finding in German at that time, but the Archaeologiai Értesítő in Budapest edited by Hampel also carried writings by him. Back home Hampel took him on in the National Museum. (He participated in the excavations in Dunapentele [the ancient Intercisa] where he also wrote letters.) In addition to letters addressed to Hampel, some others written in Munich add information about the beginnings of Hekler’s career.
