Published: February 2023

Brand loyalty has always been a complex phenomenon and the presence of digital technology is making it more challenging as consumers are well informed and demanding than ever. In such dynamic and challenging environment business firms should include the factors that help creating the brand loyalty. Little consideration has been made to “a detailed model” of brand loyalty, most of the earlier researches while examining the antecedents of brand loyalty have pin pointed few variables to explain the whole phenomenon. This research is an effort to investigate and overcome this vacuity. The reason of conducting this study is to inspect brand loyalty in depth and suggesting a detailed model of brand loyalty along with all of its possible antecedents and mediator. Both distinct elements of Brand loyalty are investigated together that is “attitudinal brand loyalty and behavioral brand loyalty”. All the antecedents of brand loyalty are adopted from existing marketing research literature, which included “Brand Commitment, Customer Satisfaction and Brand Perceived Risk”. Most important findings of this study are a) attitudinal brand loyalty impact positively on behavioral brand loyalty b) the effect of Brand Perceived Risk on behavioral brand loyalty is not direct, that is it effect through attitudinal brand loyalty. c) Attitudinal Brand loyalty mediates the impact among brand commitment and customer satisfaction on behavioral brand loyalty. All the findings are consistent with the proposed model. 450 questionnaires were circulated amongst the Karachi residents, out of which 389 responded. Data is examined with the help of SPSS. The study concluded the potential antecedents Customer Satisfaction and Brand Commitment as significant construct in brand loyalty as they have strong relation with attitudinal and behavioral brand loyalty. Results show a strong relationship among attitudinal brand loyalty and behavioral brand loyalty. This proposed brand loyalty model will be helpful for the Business firms.

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi tomar a decisão de comprar um carro no Brasil. Este é um estudo de campo, utilizando métodos quantitativos, descritivos e envolvendo clientes de seis concessionárias de automóveis nas cidades dos estados brasileiros. Método: Trata-se de um estudo de campo, utilizando métodos quantitativos, descritivos e envolvendo clientes de seis concessionárias de automóveis das cidades dos estados brasileiros cobertas na Tabela 5 que adquiriram veículos entre 2011 e 2018. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário eletrônico, que foi o questionário foi tomado como critério de aceitação para participar do estudo. Quatrocentos e vinte e sete pessoas responderam ao questionário, o que é feito na compra de um carro. Para os propósitos deste estudo, foram analisados apenas questionários completos (n = perfil demográfico: idade entre 32 e 73 anos; sexo masculino; pertencentes aos estratos sociais B1, B2 e C1; com experiência limitada de financiamento; e indicando a família como o principal fator na decisão de comprar o carro. Originalidade / Relevância: Com base nas informações obtidas, conclui-se que, ao confirmar a compra de um automóvel quase que imediatamente, muitas vezes impulsivamente, os consumidores podem acabar com dívidas desnecessárias, o que geralmente é exacerbado pela falta de informações precisas fornecidas ao consumidor no momento o prazo é obtido. Resultados: As informações obtidas no estudo mostram uma série de fatores que influenciam a decisão de comprar um carro por meio de financiamento. Os principais fatores foram: idade, renda média, experiência anterior de financiamento como meio de aquisição de ativos, influência da família ou do trabalho, tempo necessário para confirmar a compra após a aprovação do empréstimo, desejo de possuir o carro, euforia e felicidade após a compra, fácil acesso ao financiamento, nível de endividamento após a compra e grau de satisfação com a compra.

Objetivo: O objetivo desse estudo foi examinar a relação entre emoções, percepção de risco, valor percebido e lealdade à marca durante uma crise global para entender como as emoções incidentais, ou seja, emoções não relacionadas à decisão, podem influenciar as percepções do consumidor sobre valor de bens e lealdade à marca.Metodologia/abordagem: Usando dados coletados de 290 brasileiros durante a pandemia da Covid-19, um modelo estrutural baseado na percepção de risco, emoções positivas e negativas, valor percebido e lealdade à marca foi proposto e testado empiricamente.Originalidade/valor: Esta pesquisa confirma que emoções incidentais podem impactar o valor percebido. Sendo assim, a pesquisa aumenta a compreensão do papel das emoções na relação consumidor-produto-marca. Em segundo lugar, o estudo faz uma contribuição metodológica ao analisar as relações entre percepção de crise, emoções positivas e negativas, valor percebido e lealdade à marca em uma situação real. Vale ressaltar que estudos sobre emoções incidentais no comportamento do consumidor são geralmente induzidos por experimentos.Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que os respondentes se sentiram alertas e atentos, e estas emoções desempenharam uma função significante na relação entre emoções e valor percebido durante a pandemia. Observou-se que a percepção de risco influencia as emoções negativas e positivas, mas não influencia diretamente a lealdade à marca.Contribuição teórica e prática: Os resultados fornecem suporte para o modelo, onde as emoções incidentais influenciam o valor percebido. Sendo assim, o estudo contribuiu para a literatura examinando e confirmando a relação entre emoções incidentais e valor percebido. No entanto, a percepção de risco e as emoções não influenciam diretamente a lealdade à marca. Desenvolver produtos e serviços que resolvam os problemas oriundos das emoções vivenciadas durante uma crise podem despertar o interesse do consumidor. Como contribuição social, a pesquisa apresenta que bens e serviços podem auxiliar na regulação emocional.

One of the primary requirements for a futsal referee is the minimum of incorrect decisions in a match. An important starting point for the possibility of the correct decision of the referee is his position on the court when deciding. The aim of the thesis is to find out whether the error rate of the futsal referee changes when assessing game situations (leading to a direct free kick) in connection with his position. The research group consisted of referees of the 1st futsal league in the Czech Republic (n = 15); average age 39.4 (SD = 6.2). A total of 685 game situations were assessed from 42 matches in the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons. The methods of work were: indirect observation of video recordings, notation analysis, expert assessment of game situations by an expert group (n = 5). Results: the error rate in the decisions of referees is 7%; inadequate positions detected 3%; A statistically significant relationship was found between the degree of error rate in the referees' decisions and the quality of the position (rs = .32, p < .001) but no material significance was found. We recommend a more detailed research solution to this issue.
Determinants of Reactive Agility Performance in Table Tennis Players
Authors: Horníková Henrieta 
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Table tennis is considered as a reaction sport, in which reaction speed is the key factor of sports performance. However, in addition to the quality of sensory (or cognitive) functions, it also requires a rapid motor response. Reactive agility is one of the most important qualities of table tennis performance. It comprises both sensory and motor components. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find the relationship between reactive agility performance and reaction speed (sensory part), sprint and change of direction speed, and muscle strength parameters (motor part) and thus to identify determinants of reactive agility in table tennis players. METHODS: Fifteen male competitive table tennis players (26.3 ± 4.0 years, 179.4 ± 6.0 cm, 77.2 ± 6.4 kg) performed the Reactive Agility Test (RAT), three reaction time tests (simple and choice reaction, reaction to four visual stimuli), sprint for 5 m, 505 Agility test, countermovement and drop jumps. RESULTS: Pearson correlation coefficient revealed a significant relationship between RAT performance and reaction time to four visual stimuli (r = 0.801, p < 0.001). Nonsignificant, but the medium correlation was found between RAT performance and choice reaction time (r = 0.404) and decision-making time, which was calculated as a difference between choice and simple reaction time (r = 0.410). These results showed that reactive agility is determined by the cognitive component (reflected by the reaction time) in table tennis players. CONCLUSION: It seems that fast reactions associated with hand movements are more important than explosive strength and speed abilities in table tennis performance. Therefore, the trainers should focus primarily on the development of reaction-speed abilities in their training program. Secondary, they should focus on more specific movements (e.g., lateral change of direction or speed of first steps) rather than linear sprint speed or changing of direction under angles higher than 90°. Additionally, it seems that explosive strength training has only supportive character in relationship to the sports performance.

Authors: Štefan Andro 
Published: February 2023

The main purpose of the study was to explore whether gait velocity predicts the level of separate and overall physical fitness. In this study, we asked one hundred and twenty older adults over the age of 60 (mean ± SD age 71 ± 7 38 years, height 159 ± 21 cm, weight 70 ± 13 kg) to complete a Senior Fitness Test battery to assess the level of physical fitness and walked across the Zebris pressure platform (Munich, Germany) to measure gait velocity. To calculate overall physical fitness, we summed z-score values of each physical fitness test. Pearson’s coefficient (r) was used to determine the level of correlation and coefficient of determination (r2) for variance explained between gait velocity and physical fitness. Respondents conducted a battery of six tests: “chair stand in 30 s”, “arm curl in 30 s”, “2–minute step test”, “chair sit-and-reach test”, “back scratch test” and “8-feet up-and-go test”. Gait velocity was significantly correlated with chair stand in 30 sec (r=0.45, r2=20%, p<0.001), arm curl in 30 sec (r=0.56, r2=31%, p<0.001), 2-minute step test (r=0.44, r2=19%, p<0.001), chair sit-and-reach test (r=0.46, r2=21%, p<0.001), back scratch test (r=0.30, r2=9%, p<0.001) and 8-feet up-and-go test (r=-0.23, r2=5%, p=0.011). Gait velocity was not significantly correlated with waist circumference (r=0.12, r2=1%, p=0.189). Overall physical fitness was strongly correlated with gait velocity (r=0.75, r2=56%, p<0.001). In conclusion this study shows that gait velocity may be an easy and quick screening tool to predict the level of separate and overall physical fitness in a sample of older adults.

Published: February 2023

Background
Global shifts in climatic patterns have been recorded over the last decades. Such modifications mainly correspond to increased temperatures and rainfall regime changes, which are becoming more variable and extreme.

Methods
We aimed to evaluate the impact of future changes in climatic patterns on the distribution of 19 endemic or threatened bird taxa of the Caatinga. We assessed whether current protected areas (PAs) are adequate and whether they will maintain their effectiveness in the future. Also, we identified climatically stable areas that might work as refugia for an array of species.

Results
We observed that 84% and 87% of the bird species of Caatinga analyzed in this study will face high area losses in their predicted range distribution areas in future scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively). We also observed that the current PAs in Caatinga are ineffective in protecting these species in both present and future scenarios, even when considering all protection area categories. However, several suitable areas can still be allocated for conservation, where there are vegetation remnants and a high amount of species. Therefore, our study paves a path for conservation actions to mitigate current and future extinctions due to climate change by choosing more suitable protection areas.
[K2PbX][Ga7S12] (X = Cl, Br, I): The First Lead‐Containing Cationic Moieties with Ultrahigh Second‐Harmonic Generation and Band Gaps Exceeding the Criterion of 2.33 eV

AbstractIn contrast to anionic group theory of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials that second‐harmonic generation (SHG) responses mainly originate from anionic groups, structural regulation on the cationic groups of salt‐inclusion chalcogenides (SICs) is performed to make them also contribute to the NLO effects. Herein, the stereochemically active lone–electron‐pair Pb2+ cation is first introduced to the cationic groups of NLO SICs, and the resultant [K2PbX][Ga7S12] (X = Cl, Br, I) are isolated via solid‐state method. The features of their three‐dimensional structures comprise highly oriented [Ga7S12]3− and [K2PbX]3+ frameworks derived from AgGaS2, which display the largest phase‐matching SHG intensities (2.5−2.7 × AgGaS2 @1800 nm) among all SICs. Concurrently, three compounds manifest band gap values of 2.54, 2.49, and 2.41 eV (exceeding the criterion of 2.33 eV), which can avoid two‐photon absorption under the fundamental laser of 1064 nm, along with the relatively low anisotropy of thermal expansion coefficients, leading to improved laser‐induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) values of 2.3, 3.8, and 4.0 times that of AgGaS2. In addition, the density of states and SHG coefficient calculations demonstrate that the Pb2+ cations narrow the band gaps and benefit SHG responses.

AbstractCovering material is an important tool to reduce damage from extreme weather events, especially in horticultural species. However, physiological and biochemical responses to covering material are still limited in woody plants. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate covering material effects on photosynthetic and antioxidant performance in blueberry cv. Legacy to high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) and low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) covering treatments under field conditions during two consecutive seasons. Our results showed that net photosynthesis (Pn) was reduced in LDPE compared to uncovered treatment during the first season. Interestingly, Pn increased 10% in HDPE compared to uncovered and LDPE treatments. Stomatal conductance (gs) was not affected by covering material; meanwhile, the transpiration (E) only showed a 22% increment in LDPE. HDPE exhibited the highest chlorophyll a in the 2018/2019 season compared to the uncovering treatment, as well as chlorophyll b and chlorophyll a/b ratio, but during the 2017/2018 season. A tendency to decrease chlorophyll a level in uncovered plants and LDPE treatment was observed during the 2018/2019 season. Antioxidant activity showed no differences among covering materials. By contrast, phenols increased in LDPE treatment followed by control plants, showing HDPE treatment the lower values during 2018/2019. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that blueberry plants subjected to HDPE treatment showed better Pn and chlorophyll levels than uncovered and LDPE treatments, which could be associated with the diffuse transmittance in HDPE, whereas a high E and phenols were observed in LDPE, whereas intrinsic water use efficiency was lower, which is related to high direct transmittance in this covering material during the summer season.
