Lärmschwerhörigkeit (BK-Nr. 2301) – Eine retrospektive Analyse von 100 konsekutiven Fällen
Authors: Reiter R. , Brosch S. 
Published: April 2016

Zusammenfassung
Einleitung: Bei der Begutachtung einer Lärmschwerhörigkeit als Berufskrankheit nach Nr. 2301 muss überprüft werden, ob die berufliche Lärmexposition die wesentliche Ursache für die Schwerhörigkeit darstellt. Mit dieser Arbeit sollte die Gruppe der zu Begutachtenden, bei der die Voraussetzungen für eine BK-Nr. 2301 vorlagen (BKE), mit denjenigen, die diese nicht erfüllten (BKNE) hinsichtlich des Vorliegens von Charakteristika einer Lärmschwerhörigkeit verglichen werden.
Methode: In einer retrospektiven Analyse von 100 konsekutiven Lärmgutachten der Autoren wurden Audiometrie, Tinnitus, Vorliegen einer adäquaten Lärmexposition, Vor-, Nachschaden, Anwendung von Gehörschutz, und Minderung der Erwerbsfähigkeit (MdE) erfasst und die geforderten Charakteristika einer Lärmschwerhörigkeit mit einem maximalen Score von 7-Punkten versehen.
Ergebnisse: Im Gesamtkollektiv erfüllten 67% die Voraussetzungen einer Lärmschwerhörigkeit, und 9% waren entschädigungspflichtig. 82% aus der BKE-Gruppe zeigten bei der aktuellen Begutachtung reintonaudiometrisch typische Merkmale einer Lärmschwerhörigkeit und erfüllten in 75% mindestens 6 Kriterien einer BK-Nr. 2301. Lärmtypischer Tinnitus wurde von gut einem Viertel (26 Personen) angegeben.
Diskussion: Ein 7-Punkte Score kann zukünftig bei der Abgrenzung lärmabhängiger Faktoren bei der Begutachtung der Lärmschwerhörigkeit, ggf. mit Begleittinnitus, hilfreich sein.
A Review of Carbohydrate Nutrition and Metabolism in Crustaceans
Authors: Wang Xiaodan , Li Erchao , Chen Liqiao 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Carbohydrates are the primary energy source in all animal diets and are the least expensive energy source in the diets of aquatic animals. However, the utilization of carbohydrates by aquatic animals is relatively low relative that of terrestrial animals. Compared with those in fish, few studies have examined the nutrition or metabolism of crustacean species. This lack of information is a bottleneck for current research of crustacean physiology, especially that which focuses on nutrition. Specifically, there is a deficiency of research that focuses on glucose transporter proteins (except for glucose transporter (GLUT) family protein), regulators involved in carbohydrate metabolism, and the interaction of different hormones. This paper summarizes the dietary carbohydrate requirements of various crustacean species and reviews the progress of research on carbohydrate utilization and metabolism, with an aim to providing clearer insight into carbohydrate metabolism and laying a theoretical foundation for crustacean physiological research.
The influence of seasonal migrations on fishery selectivity
Authors: O'Boyle Robert , Dean Micah , Legault Christopher M. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Based on previous work, dome-shaped fishery selectivity patterns are expected in place of asymptotic patterns when one-way fish movements among areas are considered. It is less clear if this occurs when the “round-trip” seasonal movements are considered. A simulation of a long-distance migrating fish stock (Atlantic menhaden) was used to study the influence of life history and fishery processes on selectivity, under an “areas as fleet” stock assessment context. When age-constant two-way migration was assumed to occur at a low rate, a domed selectivity pattern in the area experiencing the highest fishing mortality was produced, consistent with previous work. However, as the two-way migration rate increased, the domed selectivity pattern diminished and eventually disappeared. When age-varying migration was introduced, with a higher movement probability for older fish, domed selectivity prevailed in the source (i.e. spawning) area. If movement away from the spawning area occurs at younger ages than are selected by the fishing gear, the extent of the dome in this area is reduced. When movement away from the spawning area occurs at ages that are already available to the fishing gear, the dome in the spawning area is exaggerated. The area in which domed selectivity occurred was primarily determined by whether the probability of movement increased or decreased with age. In contrast to previous work that considered one-way or diffusive movement, the temporal or spatial distribution of recruitment and overall fishing mortality did not have a significant influence on selectivity. Building simulations that reflect the life history of the stock can guide assessment efforts by placing priors and constraints on model fits to selectivity patterns and be used to explore trade-offs between model complexity and the ability to produce reasonable management advice. Their development is encouraged as a standard feature in the assessment of migratory fish stocks.
Capital Markets Union: A Vision for the Long Term
Authors: Véron Nicolas , Wolff Guntram B. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Capital Markets Union (CMU) is a welcome economic policy initiative. If well designed and implemented, it can improve access to funding, the allocation of capital, prospects for savers, and financial stability in the European Union. But since financial ecosystems only change slowly, CMU cannot be a short-term cyclical instrument to substitute for subdued bank lending. Shifting financial intermediation towards capital markets will require persistent action on multiple fronts. The policy agenda should aim to enhance both capital markets development and cross-border financial integration, two distinct but mutually reinforcing aims; to increase the transparency, reliability, and comparability of information, a key enabler of trust in financial markets which always involve information asymmetries; and to adequately address financial stability concerns. We propose a staged process to sustain the momentum and make Europe’s CMU fully worthy of its 'union' label.
Images

Buddhism appears to have spread slowly at first from its birthplace in northern India after the death of the historical Buddha. With the territorial expansions of King Aśoka—a supporter of Buddhism—in the 3rd century BCE, however, it began to spread more rapidly, first reaching other parts of India, and eventually reaching Sri Lanka, Cambodia, and Thailand to the southeast, and Gandhara (in present-day Pakistan and Afghanistan) to the northwest. From there, it gradually traveled through Central Asia to China, Korea, and Japan. The various sutras containing the teachings of the Buddha were certainly a central element of this enterprise, but a wide array of Buddhist images also played a crucial role in this transmission. In China, for example, Buddhism was even dubbed the “teaching of images” (xiangjiao) and although this term was meant as a slur it clearly reflects the prominent place of images in Buddhist practice. This prominence persists today, and rituals of bowing, burning incense, and making offerings to images is a characteristic feature of virtually every branch and school of Buddhism. The formal study of Buddhist images, however, is a relatively recent field that only emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since many early historians of Buddhism tended to dismiss the ritual use of images as popular superstition, focusing instead on texts and doctrine, the first scholars to take an active interest in studying Buddhist image traditions tended to be art historians, whose concerns were mainly iconographic and stylistic. More recently, though, this situation has changed, as many Buddhologists have turned their attention to the critical study of images in creative and fruitful ways, while many art historians have stopped approaching images merely as art objects or as iconographic embodiments of Buddhist doctrine. Thus, the study of Buddhist images today is no longer only, or even mainly, the preserve of art historians, and many of the art historians who do focus on Buddhist images tend to be interested in issues that go far beyond matters of style.
Derivational Morphology
Authors: Lieber Rochelle 
Published: April 2016

Derivational morphology is concerned with forming new lexemes, that is, words that differ either in syntactic category (part of speech) or in meaning from their bases. Derivation is typically contrasted with inflection, which is the modification of words to fit into different grammatical contexts. Words formed by derivation are complex in the sense that they typically have a base or root that has been modified in some systematic way to form a new word. The most widespread of techniques for derivation is affixation, the addition of prefixes, suffixes, infixes, circumfixes, and so on, but new words are often formed by other means such as reduplication, internal modification or rearrangement of consonants and vowels, or by subtraction of segments. Languages frequently have means of derivation that form agents, patients, or locations from verbs or other syntactic categories, or verbs of various sorts from nouns or adjectives. Adjectives may be formed from either nouns or verbs. Words may also undergo derivation that does not change their category but rather modifies their meaning, maintaining category. So, adjectives, nouns, or verbs may be negated, concrete nouns can be made abstracts or collectives, verbs may be made transitive or causative. Most general reference works on morphology treat derivation alongside inflection, so the reader is referred for additional resources to the Oxford Bibliographies in Linguistics article Morphology.
Amoeboma in a Saudi resident: a case report
Authors: Al Rehily Sanaa , Kaki Reham , Al Ghamdi Fahad , El-Hossary Dalia 
Published: April 2016

Introduction:
Amoebiasis is the third most frequent cause of mortality after malaria and schistosomiasis. In developed countries, amebiasis is also seen in migrants who have travelled to endemic areas. The factors responsible for its progression from intestinal amebiasis to an amebic liver abscess are not fully understood.

Case presentation:
A 54-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, fever and diarrhoea. Laparotomy confirmed an inflammatory mass involving the right colon, and he underwent a right hemicolectomy. He later developed abdominal distenstion due to an amoebic liver abscess and died from secondary nosocomial bacterial infection and surgical complications.

Conclusion:
Amoeboma is an uncommon manifestation of amoebiasis, and can mimic both carcinoma and inflammatory bowel disease; so, distinguishing between these two conditions is the key to providing appropriate therapy. Hepatic amoebiasis is the most common extraintestinal disease of invasive amoebiasis. This clinical report presents a case of an uncommon parasitic disease in Saudi Arabia and discusses the difficulties encountered while attempting to establish the correct diagnosis. Hence, a high index of suspicion is crucial for diagnosing Entamoeba histolytica to avoid unnecessary surgery and further complications.
MOGSA: integrative single sample gene-set analysis of multiple omics data

Published: April 2016

AbstractGene set analysis (GSA) summarizes individual molecular measurements to more interpretable pathways or gene sets and has become an indispensable step in the interpretation of large scale omics data. However, GSA methods are limited to the analysis of single omics data. Here, we introduce a new computation method termed multi-omics gene set analysis (MOGSA), a multivariate single sample gene-set analysis method that integrates multiple experimental and molecular data types measured over the same set of samples. The method learns a low dimensional representation of most variant correlated features (genes, proteins, etc.) across multiple omics data sets, transforms the features onto the same scale and calculates an integrated gene set score from the most informative features in each data type. MOGSA does not require filtering data to the intersection of features (gene IDs), therefore, all molecular features, including those that lack annotation may be included in the analysis. We demonstrate that integrating multiple diverse sources of molecular data increases the power to discover subtle changes in gene-sets and may reduce the impact of unreliable information in any single data type. Using simulated data, we show that integrative analysis with MOGSA outperforms other single sample GSA methods. We applied MOGSA to three studies with experimental data. First, we used NCI60 transcriptome and proteome data to demonstrate the benefit of removing a source of noise in the omics data. Second, we discovered similarities and differences in mRNA, protein and phosphorylation profiles of induced pluripotent and embryonic stem cell lines. We demonstrate how to assess the influence of each data type or feature to a MOGSA gene set score. Finally, we report that three molecular subtypes are robustly discovered when copy number variation and mRNA profiling data of 308 bladder cancers from The Cancer Genome Atlas are integrated using MOGSA. MOGSA is available in the Bioconductor R package “mogsa”.
The mediating role of customer satisfaction: evidence from the airline industry
Authors: Hussain Rahim 
Published: April 2016

PurposeThis study examines the mediating effects of customer satisfaction in the context of the airline industry in the United Arab Emirates through three distinct models. The first model examines the impact of service quality on brand loyalty as mediated by customer satisfaction; the second model investigates the impact of corporate image on brand loyalty as mediated by customer satisfaction; and the final model examines the impact of perceived value on brand loyalty as mediated by customer satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThree conceptual models are developed based on the existing literature. These models were validated via a quantitative approach, whereby data from 253 questionnaires were analyzed employing regression analysis.FindingsThe results confirm the mediating role of customer satisfaction in the three proposed models, implying that customer satisfaction is vital for an airline to thrive in such a highly competitive market, as well as for it to retain existing passengers, acquire new ones and eventually convert them into brand loyal customers.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the research models proposed in this research have been developed based on theoretical grounds, the generalizability of the result is limited to the airline industry.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the literature by being the first to study the mediating effect of customer satisfaction on corporate image, perceived value and service quality, as well as examining their relationship with brand loyalty in the context of the UAE airline industry.
Permission email marketing and its influence on online shopping
Authors: Reimers Vaughan , Chao Chih-Wei , Gorman Sarah 
Published: April 2016

PurposeWhile the Internet has emerged as a retail force to be reckoned with, its’ success is dependent, at least in part, on other promotional tools. One such tool is permission email marketing (PEM). Operating within the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study explores the influence of PEM on the perceived value derived from Internet shopping.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through an online survey in Melbourne, Australia. Utilising a sample of 338 consumers, the resulting data was analysed using structural equation modelling.FindingsThe results of the study indicate that PEM positively influences the perceived usefulness, ease of use and enjoyment derived from shopping online. Furthermore, it also serves to reduce the perceived risk. PEM serves as an important extension of the TAM, with the findings from this study highlighting not only what the sources of online shopping value are, but also how they can be influenced.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitation applies to the research context in which the study was carried out – fashion shopping.Practical implicationsThe study confirms the importance of PEM and highlights to retailers that they have another important tool at their disposal.Originality/valueThis study highlights the importance of PEM and support the proposition that its key source of value lies in providing information that the consumer wants. Such relevance is the key of distinction between PEM and SPAM. Despite the rapid growth of Internet shopping in Australia, very few online shopping studies have been conducted in an Australian context. This study helps to address such an oversight.
The impact of ethnicity on luxury perception: the case of Singapore’s Generation Y
Authors: Timperio Giuseppe , Tan Kay Chuan , Fratocchi Luciano , Pace Stefano 
Published: April 2016

PurposeThis study investigates Singaporean millennials’ attitudes toward luxury brands. The research focuses on the financial, functional, individual, and social dimensions of luxury value perception and whether ethnicity influences these dimensions.Design/methodology/approachThe research measures luxury value perception among millennials of the three main ethnic groups in Singapore (Chinese, Indians, and Malays) via more than 200 questionnaires. Data were analyzed through Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric ANOVA and cluster analysis.FindingsLuxury value perception does not vary across ethnicity, with the exception of the financial value dimension. Four market segments of young luxury consumers in Singapore are identified and profiled. These segments do not differ in terms of ethnicity.Research limitations/implicationsMillennials are an evolving and moving population segment, and thus longitudinal analyses would be useful to develop a more comprehensive understanding of this segment.Practical implicationsEthnicity does not affect luxury value perception. The results of the cluster analysis suggest that luxury companies should address the millennials as a global target sharing the same luxury value perception. At the same time, luxury companies can emphasize some different aspects (i.e., the financial dimension) of their value offer.Originality/valueThe research studies the most interesting market for luxury brands—millennials—in a fast-growing luxury market. It adds knowledge to the previous literature on luxury value perception. This research can guide managers to devise suitable marketing strategies addressing the millennials segment as a global market that has the same set of luxury values worldwide.
Customer online shopping anxiety within the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Technology (UTAUT) framework
Authors: Celik Hakan 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
Few studies have investigated how anxiety operates within the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) Framework. Consequently, this investigation explores the influence of anxiety on the customer adoption of online shopping based on the UTAUT.

Design/methodology/approach
The UTAUT's framework was extended by proposing new casual pathways between anxiety and its existing constructs (e.g. effort expectancy, performance expectancy and behavioural intentions) within the contingencies of age, gender and experience. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique was employed to evaluate the statistical significance of the proposed pathways by analysing 483 sets of self-administrated survey responses.

Findings
The results indicate that anxiety simultaneously exerts negative direct influences on performance expectancy, effort expectancy and behavioural intention constructs. While the moderating effects of age, gender and experience on the anxiety-intention link were found to be significant, there was no evidence suggesting that they moderate anxiety-performance expectancy and anxiety-effort expectancy relationships.

Research limitations/implications
The limitations of the current study are inherent in its design and methodology, providing some directions for future research.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the theory by including anxiety in the UTAUT and applying it to the online shopping context. The evidence about the significance of anxiety, with contingencies regarding age, gender and experience, supplies practical implications for online marketing strategies.
A network perspective and value added tasks: the case of agri-food value chain
Authors: Jraisat luai 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how network perspective can be used to determine the importance of key dimensions of network in driving firm's performance within an Agri-Food Value Chain (AFVC). It aims to analyze how factors of network and value added tasks have an impact on firm’s performance in the context of agri-food sector

Design/methodology/approach
This research employs a quantitative method. Based on an illustrative empirical case, the research tests a simple variance-based reflective Structural Equation Model (SEM) with main effects based on a sample of 200 firms within AFVC in Jordan.

Findings
The results identify the high-order factors of business networks and demonstrate the role of network perspective on firm’s performance, acting as the main strategy to improve long-term business in AFVC. The results show that firm's performance is mostly driven by the three key factors of network (actors, resources and activities), as well as by the four levels of value added tasks (form, time, place and possession).

Research limitations/implications
This research has important implications for different level managers at firms. By understanding the various factors that are most important between partners at the firm level and between firms in a network, managers can focus their efforts on these factors in order to foster successful long term businesses and their performances. We further provide some managerial recommendations for more effective management of AFVC in terms of leveraging firm's performance.

Originality/value
This is one of few studies that investigate factors of network in value chain firms. The results show that the network perspective can link both the key factors of network and the levels of value added tasks for better firm's performance in AFVC.
SMS advertising the Hallyu way:
drivers, acceptance and intention to receive
Authors: Dix Steve , Jamieson Kyle , Shimul Anwar Sadat 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
This paper examines the drivers of the acceptance of SMS advertising and how it is still relevant and active in South Korea.

Design/methodology/approach
An exploratory approach was applied with convenience sample of 206 valid responses. Existing scales were used to measure consumer’s acceptance of SMS advertising, intention to receive SMS advertising and responses to SMS advertising.

Findings
The findings of this study show that the utility and context of the SMS advertising as well as consumers’ trust and attitude toward the advertising are the key drivers of consumers’ acceptance of SMS advertising in South Korea. Moreover, acceptance of SMS advertising is positively associated with intention to receive the message and further behavioural responses.

Research limitations/implications
The outcomes of this study would be critical for practitioners to build strategies and conduct effective and creative SMS advertising campaigns in future. Mobile marketers should emphasize on the utility and context of the message that match with the consumers’ taste and preferences. Furthermore, consumers’ personal information needs to keep private and confidential which will create trust toward the SMS advertiser and in turn generate acceptance of SMS advertising.

Originality/value
This study focuses on the consumer’s willingness to receive SMS advertising and behavioural responses to SMS advertising in South Korea which has not been explored by earlier studies.
