ABSTRACT
Researchers believe that word of mouth communication carried out online can influence employee purchasing decisions because it can attract the enthusiasm of other consumers and has broad, even infinite boundaries. Apart from that, researchers also believe that this influence will be more significant if it is accompanied by good customer reviews. Therefore, the research aims to analyze the influence of the Electronic-Word of Mouth variable on Purchasing Decisions with Customer Reviews as a moderating variable. This research is quantitative research with an explanatory approach. The data used in this research was distributed using an online questionnaire method to 100 sellers on TikTok and 200 consumers on TikTok with the minimum criteria of having shopped once. The questionnaire contains 14 question items containing statements of agree, strongly agree, normal, disagree, and strongly disagree on a number of questionnaires asked. This data can also be called primary data. The collected data was analyzed using the smart PLS 4.0 analysis tool. The result in this this research show word of mouth communication using the internet has its own advantages in increasing consumer purchasing decisions due to its wide reach, as informative material for consumers who are not familiar with the product, and increasing consumer enthusiasm. In line with this, the results of the first researcher's hypothesis and beliefs show that the Electronic Word of Mouth variable has a positive relationship and has a significant influence on purchasing decisions because the P-Values value is positive and is below the significance level of 0.05, namely 0.002. The second belief and also the second hypothesis in this research shows that good reviews from consumers can increase the influence of Word of Mouth Communication via the internet on Consumer Purchasing Decisions due to Word of Mouth Communication with quality product information, a comfortable place, and good service. from Consumer Reviews can make that influence even more significant. This can be proven from the results of the second hypothesis which shows the direction of the relationship is positive and the influence is more significant, namely 0.000 below 0.05, which is more significant than direct testing, namely 0.003. Thus, the first and second hypotheses in this research can be proven and accepted.

Authors: Zadworna Magdalena , Brudek Paweł Jan , Laidlaw Ken 
Published: January 2024

BackgroundThe Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire (AAQ) is a measure designed for cross-cultural comparisons of attitudes to ageing from the perspective of older adults. The article presents a cultural and linguistic adaptation of the AAQ for use with Polish-speaking people.Participants and procedureThe Polish translation of the AAQ-24, Personal Wellbeing Index, Geriatric Depression Scale and demographic and health survey were administered to 500 older adult participants living in Poland: 269 women (53.8%) and 231 men (46.2%), aged 60 to 86 (M = 66.75, SD = 5.10).ResultsSimilar to other translations of the AAQ, analyses confirmed a three-factor structure for the AAQ. Factor structure was confirmed as: psychosocial loss, physical change, and psychological growth. The tool was found to have good validity based on confirmatory factor analysis, as well as satisfactory latent construct reliability and internal consistency (Cronbach’s α and H coefficient > .70 for all subscales). Test-retest reliability in a three-week interval was good (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) ranged between .86 and .91, p < .01, for all subscales). The AAQ-24-PL shows appropriate con-vergent and divergent validity. Demographic differences in AAQ-24-PL were also found.ConclusionsThe results confirm the validity and reliability of the AAQ-24-PL, and this useful tool demonstrates acceptable psychomet-ric performance. Researchers and practitioners working with older adults can benefit from using this tool to assess losses and gains with ageing.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: This paper’s purpose is to deepen our understanding of what drives bottom-up operations strategy formation – that is, continuous improvement activities at the front line – with a particular focus on operations strategy understanding. That way, it aims to contribute to the awareness of management quality in manufacturing – a cornerstone of national competitiveness.
Methodology: We examine the antecedents of individual Kaizen generation by frontline employees, drawing on the well-established Motivation-Opportunity-Ability framework and focusing on the dimension of ability – that is, understanding operations strategy. Survey data on 217 frontline employees, working in 17 teams on 11 different production lines, were “triangulated” with their team leader assessments and the plant’s archival records. We tested the hypothesized relationships via analyses that incorporate both structural equation modeling and multiple regression techniques.
Findings: Our results suggest that employees typically overestimate their understanding of the plant’s operations strategy and that productivity is driven more by an objective than a subjective understanding of that strategy. We also find that incremental innovation is facilitated by supervisor support, employee engagement, and an employee suggestion scheme; in contrast, neither autonomy nor selected control variables (e.g., age or seniority) has a significant effect.
Originality: Our findings and the unique metrics we developed for better management of strategy understanding should help managers increase the productivity of their operations and thus the competitiveness of their respective firms.

Published: January 2024

Nowadays, due to rising environmental degradation and declining use of traditional energy sources. Renewable energy sources were the finest alternative and solution because it is currently necessary to produce energy from sources that are environmentally friendly and don't deplete. Among them, the wind and sun are well-known energy sources. However, solar is the finest option because of its advantages over other sources, such as its enriching energy source and abundance. This research focuses on standalone PV systems that employ batteries as a backup power source. To overcome this unpredictability and make the system linear for this purpose, we used nickel metal hydride batteries. As we know, the PV system is extremely reliant on the outside environment and climate, thus it can provide less electricity during the night or in cold weather. It is the greatest since it is widely available, inexpensive, and used in air and solar power systems as well as high-powered appliances. For managing a standalone PV system, the Simulink model is crucial. Batteries and a PV system that correspond to one another are employed. To get the most power out of the solar panel under the circumstances, algorithms like MPPT are applied. MPPT also regulates the current supplied to the battery. By boosting the PV panel's duty cycle, a boost converter is utilized to raise the level of DC voltage it produces. To run the single-phase appliances, a suitable AC output with an equivalent frequency and amplitude is provided by an inverter. The model was created using MATLAB and Simulink, and the results demonstrate that it achieves the goals of a PV standalone system.

Abstract. The presented study investigates the efficiency of heterogeneous ice formation in natural clouds over Lauder, New Zealand / Aotearoa. Aerosol conditions in the middle troposphere above Lauder are subject to huge contrasts. Clean, pristine air masses from Antarctica and the Southern Ocean arrive under southerly flow conditions, while high aerosol loads can occur when air masses are advected from nearby Australia. This study assesses how these contrasts in aerosol load affect the ice formation efficiency in stratiform midlevel clouds in the heterogeneous freezing range (−40 to 0 ∘C). For this purpose, an 11-year dataset was analyzed from a dual-wavelength polarization lidar system operated by National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), Taihoro Nukurangi, at Lauder in collaboration with the National Institute for Environmental Studies in Japan and the Meteorological Research Institute of the Japan Meteorological Agency. These data were used to investigate the efficiency of heterogeneous ice formation in clouds over the site as a function of cloud-top temperature as in previous studies at other locations. The Lauder cloud dataset was put into context with lidar studies from contrasting regions such as Germany and southern Chile. The ice formation efficiency found at Lauder is lower than in polluted midlatitudes (i.e., Germany) but higher than, for example, in southern Chile. Both Lauder and southern Chile are subject to generally low free-tropospheric aerosol loads, which suggests that the low ice formation efficiency at these two sites is related to low ice-nucleating-particle (INP) concentrations. However, Lauder sees episodes of continental aerosol, more than southern Chile does, which seems to lead to the moderately increased ice formation efficiency. Trajectory-based tools and aerosol model reanalyses are used to relate this cloud dataset to the aerosol load and the air mass sources. Both analyses point clearly to higher ice formation efficiency for clouds which are more strongly influenced by continental aerosol and to lower ice formation efficiency for clouds which are more influenced by Antarctic/marine aerosol and air masses.

Abstract. Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) continue to demand attention due to their widespread presence and well-established health implications. Given that incomplete combustion is a major contributor to PACs and inhalation constitutes a crucial human exposure pathway, a comprehensive understanding of the concentrations, spatial distributions, and fates of a broad range of PACs in the atmosphere is important. Passive air samplers (PASs) are a commonly utilized technique for PAC sampling and monitoring. In this study, we present the results from two 1-year calibration experiments, one starting in summer and the other in winter, using a passive air sampler equipped with XAD resin as the sorbent (XAD-PAS). Throughout both experiments, PACs were consistently sorbed during the initial 6-month period. However, the sorbed amounts for many PACs exhibited a decrease after half a year of deployment. Three hypotheses to explain this phenomenon were explored, including the uptake of atmospheric particles, evaporation from the sorbent, and reactions with photo-oxidants. All had to be rejected based on the obtained data, additional laboratory experiments, and model results. Model simulations were further used to (i) confirm that a loss process must be invoked to explain the observed uptake behavior and (ii) estimate the kinetics of that loss process for different PACs. Sampling rates (SRs) for 28 PACs derived from the linearized uptake curves during the first 6 months of deployment were comparable to those of other semi-volatile organic compounds obtained during the same calibration experiment, and they also demonstrate a consistent negative correlation with volatility.

Abstract. The spatial-temporal distribution of aerosol particles in the atmosphere has a great impact on radiative transfer, clouds, and air quality. Modern remote sensing methods as well as airborne in-situ measurements by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or balloons are suitable tools to improve our understanding of the role of aerosol particles in the atmosphere. To validate the measurement capabilities of three relatively new measurement systems and to bridge the gaps that are often encountered between remote sensing and in-situ observation as well as to investigate aerosol particles in and above the boundary layer, we conducted two measurement campaigns and collected a comprehensive dataset employing a scanning aerosol LIDAR, a balloon-borne radiosonde with the Compact Optical Backscatter Aerosol Detector (COBALD), an optical particle counter (OPC) on a UAV, as well as a comprehensive set of ground-based instruments. The extinction coefficients calculated from near-ground-level aerosol size distributions measured in-situ are well correlated with those retrieved from LIDAR measurements with a slope of 1.037 ± 0.015 and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.878, respectively. Vertical profiles measured by an OPC-N3 on a UAV show similar vertical particle distributions and boundary layer heights as LIDAR measurements. However, the sensor, OPC-N3, shows a larger variability in aerosol backscatter coefficient measurements with a Pearson correlation coefficient of only 0.241. In contrast, the COBALD data from a balloon flight are well correlated with LIDAR-derived backscatter data from the near ground level up to the stratosphere with a slope of 1.063 ± 0.016 and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.925, respectively. This consistency between LIDAR and COBALD data reflects a good data quality of both methods and proves that LIDAR can provide reliable and spatial distributions of aerosol particles with high spatial and temporal resolutions. This study shows that the scanning LIDAR has the capability to retrieve backscatter coefficients near ground level (from 25 m to 50 m above ground level) when it conducts horizontal measurement which isn't possible for vertically pointing LIDAR. These near-ground-level retrievals compare well with ground-level in-situ measurements. In addition, in-situ measurements on the balloon and UAV validated scanning LIDAR retrievals within and above the boundary layer. The scanning aerosol LIDAR allows us to measure aerosol particle distributions and profiles from the ground level to the stratosphere with an accuracy equal or better than in-situ measurements and with a similar spatial resolution.

Abstract. During the EUREC4A field study, microwave radiometric measurements were performed at Barbados Cloud Observatory (BCO) and aboard RV Meteor and RV Maria S Merian in the downstream winter trades of the North Atlantic. We present retrieved integrated water vapor (IWV), liquid water path (LWP), and temperature and humidity profiles as a unified, quality-controlled, multi-site data set on a 3 s temporal resolution for a core period between 19 January and 14 February 2020 in which all instruments were operational. Multi-channel radiometric measurements were performed at BCO and aboard RV Meteor between 22 and 31 GHz (K-band) and from 51 to 58 GHz (V-band). Combined radar–radiometer measurements of a W-band Doppler radar with a single-channel radiometer instrument were conducted at 89 GHz aboard RV Meteor and RV Maria S Merian. We present a novel retrieval method to retrieve LWP from single-channel 89 GHz measurements, evaluate retrieved quantities with independent measurements, and analyze retrieval uncertainties by site and instrument intercomparison. Mean IWV conditions of 31.8 kg m−2 match independent radiosoundings at BCO with a root-mean-square difference of 1.1 kg m−2. Mean LWP conditions in confidently liquid cloudy, non-precipitating conditions ranged between 63.1 g m−2 at BCO and 46.8 g m−2 aboard RV Maria S Merian. Aboard the ships, 90 % of LWP was below 120 g m−2 with a 30 % uncertainty for LWP of 50 g m−2. Up to 20 % of confidently liquid cloudy profiles ranged below the LWP detection limit due to optically thin clouds. The data set comprises of processed raw data (Level 1), full quality-controlled post-processed instrument data (Level 2), a unified temporal resolution (Level 3), and a ready-to-use multi-site time series of IWV and LWP (Level 4), available to the public via AERIS (https://doi.org/10.25326/454##v2.0; Schnitt et al., 2023a). The data set complements the airborne LWP measurements conducted during EUREC4A and provides a unique benchmark tool for satellite evaluation and model–observation studies.

Published: January 2024

People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an elevated risk of suicidal ideation and death by suicide compared with the general population. The aim of the present article is to provide updated and evidence-based knowledge about the association between T1D and suicide. A further aim is to discuss how specific psychological aspects of T1D may contribute to a heightened risk of suicide. We emphasize the importance of closeness to death, responsibility, stigmatisation, loneliness, shame, burnout, unpredictability and lack of control. Daily self-management is highly demanding. The illness is associated with a risk of severe somatic complications such as visual impairment, dementia, cardiovascular disease, impaired renal function and premature death. Type 1 diabetes also increases the risk of neuropathy, other types of painful conditions and fatigue. Finally, we suggest approaches that may help psychologists address these issues.
