A new genus of Pulaeini (Acari: Prostigmata: Cunaxidae) from South–East Asia
Authors: KALÚZ STANISLAV , ERMILOV SERGEY G. 
Published: June 2019

A new genus Lepidocunaxoides gen. nov., with the type species Lepidocunaxoides robustus sp. nov. (Acari: Prostigmata, Cunaxidae), is described and figured from Vietnam. The general characters of the genus Lepidocunaxoides gen. nov. within the tribe Pulaeini include: palp femurogenu with 6 setae; palp tibiotarsus with 5 setae; setal formula for telofemora I–IV 5-5-4-3 sts; setae f2 absent. It differs from related genera of the subfamily Cunaxoidinae by its paired ventral plates resembling butterfly wings, separating the sternal plate from fused coxae II–IV, by three paired platelets around the genital plates, and by the basifemora I–IV setal formula 3-5–3-2. An undated identification key to the tribes and genera of Cunaxoidinae is provided.
Evaluation of complete blood count parameters, cell ratios, and cell volume indices in mushroom poisonings
Authors: Doğan M , Karahan İ 
Published: June 2019

Objective: Mushroom poisoning is still a significant health-care problem, with the potential to affect blood parameters. The present study analyses the effect of mushroom poisoning on complete blood cell parameters, cell ratios, and cell volume indices and the effect of the mentioned parameters on prognosis/hospital length of stay. Methods: The study involved the retrospective assessment of 48 patients who became symptomatic after ingesting mushrooms. Patients who were 18 years and above and who spent at least one day in hospital were included in the study. The control group comprised individuals with similar characteristics to the patient group. The complete blood cell parameters, platelet indices (mean platelet volume, plateletcrit (PCT)), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio levels were compared between the two groups, and these ratios were analyzed for any correlation with length of hospital stay. Results: NLR was significantly higher and PCT was significantly lower in the mushroom-poisoned group, while all other parameters were similar between the groups. NLR had a positive correlation and PCT had a negative correlation with length of hospital stay. Conclusion: NLR and PCT levels can provide information about prognosis and can aid in the prediction of hospital stay in mushroom-poisoned patients. Further investigations are needed to investigate effects of intoxication on hematological system elements.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background
A large number of articles examined the preventability rate of readmissions, but comparison and interpretability of these preventability rates is complicated due to the large heterogeneity of methods that were used.
To compare (the implications of) the different methods used to assess the preventability of readmissions by means of medical record review.

Methods
A literature search was conducted in PUBMED and EMBASE using “readmission” and “avoidability” or “preventability” as key terms. A consensus-based narrative data synthesis was performed to compare and discuss the different methods.

Results
Abstracts of 2504 unique citations were screened resulting in 48 full text articles which were included in the final analysis. Synthesis led to the identification of a set of important variables on which the studies differed considerably (type of readmissions, sources of information, definition of preventability, cause classification and reviewer process). In 69% of the studies the cause classification and preventability assessment were integrated; meaning specific causes were predefined as preventable or not preventable. The reviewers were most often medical specialist (67%), and 27% of the studies added interview as a source of information.

Conclusion
A consensus-based standardised approach to assess preventability of readmission is warranted to reduce the unwanted bias in preventability rates. Patient-related and integrated care related factors are potentially underreported in readmission studies.

AbstractContextPrimary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of endocrine hypertension (HT). HT remission (defined as blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg without antihypertensive drugs) has been reported in approximately 50% of patients with unilateral PA after adrenalectomy. HT duration and severity are predictors of blood pressure response, but the prognostic role of somatic KCNJ5 mutations is unclear.ObjectiveTo determine clinical and molecular features associated with HT remission after adrenalectomy in patients with unilateral PA.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated 100 patients with PA (60 women; median age at diagnosis 48 years with a median follow-up of 26 months). Anatomopathological analysis revealed 90 aldosterone-producing adenomas, 1 carcinoma, and 9 unilateral adrenal hyperplasias. All patients had biochemical cure after unilateral adrenalectomy. KCNJ5 gene was sequenced in 76 cases.ResultsKCNJ5 mutations were identified in 33 of 76 (43.4%) tumors: p.Gly151Arg (n = 17), p.Leu168Arg (n = 15), and p.Glu145Gln (n = 1). HT remission was reported in 37 of 100 (37%) patients. Among patients with HT remission, 73% were women (P = 0.04), 48.6% used more than three antihypertensive medications (P = 0.0001), and 64.9% had HT duration <10 years (P = 0.0015) compared with those without HT remission. Somatic KCNJ5 mutations were associated with female sex (P = 0.004), larger nodules (P = 0.001), and HT remission (P = 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, only a somatic KCNJ5 mutation was an independent predictor of HT remission after adrenalectomy (P = 0.004).ConclusionThe presence of a KCNJ5 somatic mutation is an independent predictor of HT remission after unilateral adrenalectomy in patients with unilateral PA.
A Chiral Picolinic Acid Ligand, Cl-Naph-PyCOOH, for CpRu-Catalyzed Dehydrative Allylation: Design, Synthesis, and Properties
Authors: Tanaka Shinji , Suzuki Yusuke , Kimura Takahiro , Kitamura Masato 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
A CpRu/Brønsted acid-combined catalyst, CpRu(II)/picolinic acid (PyCOOH), acts as an efficient catalyst for the allyl protection/deprotection of alcohols. This discovery has resulted in the development of a new axially chiral ligand, Cl-Naph-PyCOOH (2a; 6-(2-chloronaphthalen-1-yl)-5-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid) through an investigation on the ligand structure-reactivity relationship in the CpRu-catalyzed dehydrative cyclization of (E)-hept-2-ene-1,7-diol (5) to 2-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran (6). A large-scale synthetic procedure for 2a and the allyl esters 2b has been established. The activation energy ΔG‡ of the stereoinversion and the half-life time of (R)-2b racemization have been determined to be 33.7 kcal mol−1 and 16,000 years at 25 °C, respectively. The CpRu(II)/(R)-Cl-Naph-PyCOOH catalyst exists as a 1:1 diastereomeric mixture of (R,RRu)-3 (AR) and (R,SRu)-3 (AS) because of the axial chirality of 2a and the Ru stereogenic center. The epimerization rate of the Ru center is 19.5 s−1 at 30 °C with an energy barrier ΔG‡ of 16.0 kcal mol−1. Both AR and AS have their own reactivity and enantioselectivity. Nevertheless, an enantiomer ratio of up to &gt;99:1 can be realized in the allylative cyclization of E-allylic alcohols possessing a protic nucleophile, OH, NHCOR, NHSO2R, or COOH, at the terminal position. Questions about the mechanism have been raised as progress is being made towards a mechanistic investigation.

Published: June 2019

Background: There are limited psychometric reports of construct validity following adaptation of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development 3rd edition (Bayley III). This paper aims to demonstrate a process of assessing reliability, validity, and gender equivalence of the adapted tool for Vietnamese children. Methods: We evaluated cognitive, fine motor, gross motor, expressive communication and receptive communication subtests of the adapted tool in 267 healthy urban Vietnamese children. Subsets of participants were used to evaluate inter-observer and test-retest reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out to evaluate construct validity and measurement invariance between genders. Results: The adaptation demonstrated good inter-observer and test-retest reliability. CFA indicated that a construct representing a single underlying factor showed the best fit, although relationships between the observed scores and the latent traits underlying the scores varied between age groups. Within age groups, relationships between observed scores and these factors were not significantly influenced by gender. Conclusions: The Vietnamese Bayley III demonstrated good internal consistency and reliability. A latent structure with one general factor and additional residual correlations that change with age is supported by the theoretical understanding of child development. This is the first study to demonstrate gender invariance by age group. This adaptation is suitable for further research studies in urban Vietnamese children, but further work is needed to extend its applicability more broadly across Vietnam.

"Good things in Life begin small.................... SMEs (Something More for Everyone)"
The small businesses in India are big nowadays. The small and medium enterprises (SME) sector in India is undergoing a 'Big Transformation' riding on the government's recognition of its significance, in terms of its contribution to the GDP and its huge potential for employment generation. A significant observation indicates that during the last 14 years of a liberalized regime, the country has seen phenomenal growth in the SME sector. Developing and venturing into the new products, diversifying their businesses and services by adopting new technical skills and thereby improving productivity has been the overall action plan for this ever multiplying closet.
Over the years, the SSI sector in India has continued to remain an important sector of the economy with its noteworthy contribution to the gross domestic product, industrial production, employment generation and exports. As per the Third All India Census of SSIs (2001-02), there were 10.52 million SSI units in the country, of which
1.37 were registered and 9.15 unregistered units. For the year
March 2004, the said number increased to 11.52 million, providing employment to 27.40 million persons and contributing an output of over Rs.3, 480 billion in FY2004.
As a result of globalization coupled with the WTO regime, Indian SMEs are beginning to show a sign of steady transformation with the industry undergoing a sweeping change in its entirety.The SME sector in India is highly hetero geneous comprising of tiny unorganized enterprises to modern and more organized factories at the higher end of the spectrum.
The rapidly increasing globalization of the Indian economy has been providing enormous opportunities for the small and medium enterprises in India to enhance their business.
This paper attempts to find how SMEs could capitalize on such opportunities and the need to grapple with fierce competitionino verseas markets increasingly, which is becoming more challenging with realignment and coming together of global markets after liberalization.

Authors: Vincent Nithila 
Published: June 2019

Children today are extremely aware of the various brands in the market and are conscious of the products they use or consume. They pick and choose carefully according to their needs, style preference etc. They also exercise a lot of independence in decision-making and influence the family buying behaviour.
This study is an attempt to examine the level of brand consciousness among Indian children. Few specific studies on brand consciousness among Indian children have been conducted so far. Further this study also analyses the effect of such brand consciousness in children on the family buying behaviour.
This study is based on the findings of a survey of 222 children and 222 parents spread over the south of Bangalore City. The children were in the age group of 8 to 16 years, both boys and girls selected at random within the age group mentioned, using convenience sampling method without any stratification to obtain a uniform size of respondents in each age / sex category.

Published: June 2019

Companies are using sports-sponsorship to enhance the image of their products and to create competitive advantage in the market in-terms of uniqueness. Considering the example of competitive advantage, Nike in design, FedEx in quick delivery, and Wal-Mart in low price, the objective of the study is to investigate the effect of sport-sponsorship technique on brand image and the competitive advantage. In addition, the study will identify the relationship between celebrity endorsements and how the endorsements have an impact on buying behavior. The study covers both the primary investigation and secondary literature review. Data was collected with help of structured questionnaire and analyzed by using several statistical techniques such as Chi-Square test, Paired t-Test and Regression analysis (used to identify the relationship between sports celebrity endorsements and buying behavior).Research has indicated that live broadcast of sport sponsorship gets the favour of the respondent. Research has revealed that companies should prefer advertising as a sport-sponsorship technique to increase the brand awareness. Findings of the study indicate that for advertising, companies need to be cautious while selecting other medium of sponsorship. The study concludes that there is a relationship between sports celebrity endorsement and consumer buying behavior.
Influence of Product Involvement, Post Purchase Service and Consumer Personality on Dimensions of Brand Resonance for Yamaha Motor Bikes
Authors: Justus T Frank Sunil , Ali M Sadiq 
Published: June 2019

Branding is the process of creating an association between a symbol, object, emotion, perception and a product or company with the goal of driving loyalty and creating differentiation. This paper takes a look at the influence of product involvement, post purchase service and consumer personality on the dimensions of brand resonance that includes brand loyalty, brand attachment, brand engagement and brand community. Companies should endeavor to create a relationship between the customer and the brand and ensure the customers are in sync with the brand. Companies should communicate with respondents even after they have purchased the vehicles and through brand communities ensure a sort of kinship with other people associated with the brand. The influence of the brand and its eventual value to the company dwell with the customers and hence companies should leave no stone unturned in their quest to develop brand feelings of loyalty, attachment, engagement and community among its customers. Further studies can be had on a pan India basis or across different states and should also involve other motor cycles sold in the country.
Work Culture in Indian Organizations
Authors: Kapoor Deep 
Published: June 2019

Work is a source of sustenance to human beings. The environment where the person works has a lot of effect on the efficiency and effectiveness. In a layman's language we can call this environment along with the processes working in it as the 'Work Culture'.
With the opening up of Indian economy and the flourishing of knowledge based industries in India, this environment of work has considerably changed and it has a marked influence on the social lives of the people working in these kinds of industries. As these industries are located mostly in big/metropolitan cities and affects educated urban middle/upper class generally, this paper will be somewhat skewed towards these class of people working mostly in large organizations. I will also concentrate on defining work culture, on types of work culture, on the impact of society on work culture, on emerging work culture and finally focussing on the knowledge based industries.

Authors: Kumar J Suresh 
Published: June 2019

Colour plays an important role in marketing products. It is a powerful marketing tool that influences consumer purchases in many aspects. Marketers must explore the harmony of colours for successful marketing of products. Nearly all products sold today have colourful facades. Selecting the right colours to use has an enormous impact on product sales. While no single set of rules governs colour choices, research has established general guidelines based on the principle of associative learning, the relationship between colour and emotion. The researcher made a diagnostic study on the psychology of colour influences consumers buying behaviour. Secondary data has been extensively used in this research. Colour properties like hue, saturation and value, were discussed. Usage of colours in the packing of products, how colours earn brand image to a product, how colours help marketers to communicate the brand to customers and how to match colours with customer’s personality are extensively discussed. Conclusions were drawn based on this diagnostic study.

As people today are becoming more health-conscious, various efforts have been made to keep up one’s health, such as by consuming highly nutritious food and drinks. One of the nutritious food sources produced from bees is honey, bioactive compounds of polyphenols, glyoxal and methylglioxal. Honey could be used as a health drink by mixing with ginger. This health drink is also produced as powdered drink to simplify storing, reduce the use of plastic packaging, and to add product value to increase market share. The aim of this research was to analyze the effects of drying time for 5, 15, and 25 minutes with an addition of maltodextrin on the yield, density, and moisture content of “Sumahe” instant powdered drink, made from cow’s milk, honey, and ginger. The results showed that the longer the drying time, the lower the moisture content of the drink. Meanwhile, the longer the drying time, the higher the yield became. A taste test of “Sumahe” also indicated that from 25 minutes of drying time, most of the panelists rated the drink as tasteful and delicious.

Published: June 2019

Monel handicrafts grow and develop in Jepara district. It has characteristic that the skill of making monel art is preserved from generation to generation. Its ability to survive was influenced by how much the support of community. Community care and love for the craft can support the existance and development of monel handicraft. The process of descending monel crafts has the advantage that each family as a monel craft business unit has its own characteristics and competitiveness. On the other hand, there is no formal container for learning these skills. This makes monel crafts less open to a wider regeneration process. Even though regeneration really determines the development in the future. Looking at the current development of the craft, efforts to make a more open regeneration process seem necessary. Through this paper, the author try to find steps that can be taken by the supporting community and the Regional Government to form a formal and informal container. It is intended that interested people have access to learn about this craft. Regeneration is carried out to maintain the continuity and development of monel crafts.
Berestycki-Lions conditions on ground state solutions for a Nonlinear Schrödinger equation with variable potentials
Authors: Chen Sitong , Tang Xianhua 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThis paper is dedicated to studying the nonlinear Schrödinger equations of the form$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\triangle u+V(x)u=f(u), & x\in \mathbb{R}^N; \\ u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{array} \right. \end{array}$$whereV∈ 𝓒1(ℝN, [0, ∞)) satisfies some weak assumptions, andf∈ 𝓒(ℝ, ℝ) satisfies the general Berestycki-Lions assumptions. By introducing some new tricks, we prove that the above problem admits a ground state solution of Pohožaev type and a least energy solution. These results generalize and improve some ones in [L. Jeanjean, K. Tanka, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 54 (2005), 443-464], [L. Jeanjean, K. Tanka, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 131 (2003) 2399-2408], [H. Berestycki, P.L. Lions, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 82 (1983) 313-345] and some other related literature. In particular, our assumptions are “almost” necessary whenV(x) ≡V∞> 0, moreover, our approach could be useful for the study of other problems where radial symmetry of bounded sequence either fails or is not readily available, or where the ground state solutions of the problem at infinity are not sign definite.
