Modeling Luxury Wine Preference, A Study of Business Travelers from China
Creators: name: Keene, Mark Mark
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Tourism economics

description: The purpose of this study was twofold: Part 1, to empirically develop and statistically analyze a new model that measures the culture-based motivators to consume luxury wine by business travelers that identify as culturally-Chinese; and Part 2, to validate the new model. Luxury wine stakeholders may often have issues accessing luxury wine and providing the ideal choices that appeal to the business traveler from China, and yet there is a larger concern. In a field with a significant lack of research, it is a challenge for global stakeholders to gather information, acquire and implement cross-cultural competence, and remain knowledgeable of the most important motivators for Chinese consumers to pursue luxury wine in an environment of accelerated consumption. The intent of developing and validating this model was so that the resulting developmental process might be adopted by other researchers who wish to explore the psychological, culture-based motivators to consume luxury products by those that identify as culturally-Chinese, including, but not limited to, wine. The model provides stakeholders with culture-based knowledge to meet, or transcend, their consumers’ luxury wine purchasing, tasting, and presenting needs. It also addresses gaps in research literature surrounding luxury product consumption, such as emerging markets, global affairs, Chinese (Eastern) versus Euro-American (Western) perspectives, and consumer sociodemographics. Interdisciplinary scale development and inventory tests followed by hospitality-specific, culture-based scale development and item development literature were reviewed and deduced for model development. The scale underwent validity and reliability tests; through a rigorous scale development procedure that tested theory, the scale became a model. The findings and implications are discussed and recommendations for future research are offered.

description: Background: The KIDSCREEN-52 is a worldwide instrument for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents. The aim of this study is to assess reliability and validity of the Greek version of KIDSCREEN. Methods: Questionnaires were collected from a representative nationwide sample of 1,194 adolescents aged from 11 to 17 years. Internal consistency reliability was determined by calculation of the Cronbach a coefficient. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted in order to test the construct validity of the questionnaire. Validity was further examined by investigating the correlation of KIDSCREEN with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and its association with socioeconomic and health-related factors. Results: Internal consistency reliability was accepted with a Cronbach a above 0.73 for all KIDSCREEN dimensions. CFA showed that the ten-dimensional model fitted the data well (root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.048, comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.971 and goodness of fit index (GFI) = 0.965). Correlation coefficients between KIDSCREEN and SDQ dimensions were significant. Adolescents of low socioeconomic status reported lower scores in the majority of KIDSCREEN dimensions. Also, adolescents with chronic health problem had poorer quality of life concerning physical well-being and other dimensions of KIDSCREEN. Conclusions: The Greek version of KIDSCREEN-52 was found to have satisfied psychometric properties and could be suitable for assessing HRQoL in Greek adolescents.

Teacher education and professional development of educators

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the factors attributed to teacher candidates’ perceptions of self-efficacy throughout their student teaching semesters. This study used a narrative inquiry methodology to enhance the researcher’s understanding of variables attributed to teacher self-efficacy among a group of secondary content area teacher candidates. In this study, the purpose of using a narrative inquiry methodology was to share the stories of content area teacher candidates’ student teaching experiences and inform teacher educators about the extent to which teacher education preparation affects the self-efficacy of beginning content area teachers, as well as which recurrent elements of teacher education affect the self-efficacy of beginning teachers, regardless of their respective content areas. The findings of this study suggest that teacher education preparation affects the self-efficacy of secondary teacher candidates across the content areas; accordingly, the findings of this study provide insight for teacher educators to consider the areas where teacher education programs are failing to provide adequate preparation. The 10 teacher candidates who participated in this study emphasized the value of adequate preparation throughout their teacher education programs to help inform their student teaching experiences. In order to feel prepared for student teaching and effective as teacher candidates, the 10 participants referenced the following areas as requiring further implementation within teacher education curricula: increased opportunities to apply the practical application of their teaching skills prior to the student teaching experience, the incorporation of classroom management strategy coursework into their curriculum, and opportunities to explore the extensive demands of the teaching profession ranging from time management to dealing with difficult parents, to name a few.

The Medieval Chinese Gāthā and Its Relationship to Poetry

subject: Chinese literature

description: Abstract: This paper investigates the shifting definitions of the term gāthā (Ch. ji) over an 800-year period, from the earliest sūtratranslations into Chinese until the mid-tenth century. Although the term originally referred to the verse sections of scriptures, gāthās soon began to circulate separately, used in ritual, contemplative, and pedagogical practices. By the late sixth century, it began to mean something like “Buddhist verse.” Over the course of the Tang, gāthās came to take on the formal features of poetry, eventually becoming all but indistinguishable from elite verse. However, the word gāthā was always seen as something inferior to real poetry, and, by the late Tang, we find poet-monks belittling other monks’ didactic verses so as to distinguish their own work and avoid the taint of the word gāthā. Résumé: Cet article explore l’évolution du sens du terme gāthā (ch. ji) sur une période s’étendant sur plus de huit cent ans, depuis les premières traductions des sūtra en chinois jusqu’au milieu du dixième siècle. Bien que ce terme désignât à l’origine les parties rimées des textes sacrés bouddhiques, les gāthās très tôt commencèrent à circuler indépendamment et à être employées dans les pratiques rituelles, contemplatives et pédagogiques. Vers la fin du sixième siècle, il devint synonyme de « poésie bouddhique ». Au cours de la dynastie des Tang, les gāthās adoptèrent les règles formelles de la poésie, si bien qu’ils devinrent quasiment identiques aux autres formes d’expression poétique des élites. Le mot gāthā cependant continua à évoquer un style inférieur à celui de la « vraie » poésie, et à la fin des Tang des moines-poètes moquèrent les vers didactiques composés par d’autres moines dans le but de distinguer leur propres compositions et de se démarquer des connotations peu flatteuses du terme gāthā.

description: The present study evaluated the feasibility and social validity of using a wearable technology to detect anxiety for educational purposes. Twenty college student who planned to take a Graduate Study Exam (GRE) for attending graduate school were recruited to participate in the study. Each participant completed a practice GRE with quantitative and verbal reasoning sections. The participants were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire and State and Trait Anxiety Inventory before the practice exam. An acceptability questionnaire was administered after the practice exam to collect data on the social validity of the wearable technology. During the practice exam, the participants were asked to tap a button on the wearable device to report stressful incidents (SI) when they felt the exam questions were causing them to feel stressed. The participants’ heart rate and skin conductance data were collected and analyzed with the timing of their self-reported SI. The data indicated that significant heart rate changes were detected in 66% and 70% of the self-reported SI in the quantitative and verbal reasoning sections, respectively. The results indicated heart rate data could be used for short-term anxiety monitoring for educational purposes in the real classrooms. The social validity data indicated polarized results for the acceptance of an anxiety monitoring technology for educational purposes. Participants with higher familiarity with wearable devices in general reported the wearable device used in the study less distracting during the practice exams. Participants with higher levels of anxiety reported being less comfortable with their physiological signals monitored during the practice exams. Implications and suggestions for future research studies are discussed.

description: From December 2008 to June 2009 a measles outbreak occurred in the Federal State of Hamburg, Germany. The outbreak affected 216 persons and was caused by a new measles strain termed D4-Hamburg which led to consecutive outbreaks between 2009 and 2011 in at least 12 European countries. Here, we describe epidemiological characteristics of the outbreak and evaluate the control measures taken in Hamburg. In one of the seven boroughs of Hamburg a local Roma community comprised more than 50% of the notified cases. We compared in a stratified analysis the age distribution of these cases with cases of fellow citizens who did not belong to the Roma community. The age group of infants (0-11 months) comprised 33% among the non-Roma measles cases, while in the Roma community only 4% belonged to this stratum. In the stratum of 5-17 year-olds only 8% were affected among the non-Roma cases, whereas in the Roma community 50% belonged to this age group. We discuss the influencing factors that might have led to this difference in age distribution between the two groups.

description: Histories of colonial Latin American mining have cemented the image of a scientifically backward society whose pursuit of easy wealth sacrificed the lives of indigenous and African miners in places like Potosí. By examining a mid seventeenth-century mine dispute between an Andean woman and a Spanish man, this article suggests how legal archives can reveal indigenous women’s contributions to the history of colonial silver. It also provides an appendix with one hundred cases of indigenous, creole, and Spanish women miners, refiners, and managers in Alto Perú, 1559–1801, suggesting how women of different socioeconomic and technical backgrounds participated in the silver industry.

description: Recently, the diversity of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) population structure has been described in detail. Based on geographical separation and specific host pathogen co-evolution shaping MTBC virulence traits, at least 20 major lineages/genotypes have evolved finally leading to a clear influence of strain genetic background on transmissibility, clinical presentation/outcome, and resistance development. Therefore, high resolution genotyping for characterization of strains in larger studies is mandatory for understanding mechanisms of host-pathogen-interaction and to improve tuberculosis (TB) control. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) represent the most reliable markers for lineage classification of clinical isolates due to the low levels of homoplasy, however their use is hampered either by low discriminatory power or by the need to analyze a large number of genes to achieve higher resolution. Therefore, we carried out de novo sequencing of 26 genes (approx. 20000 bp per strain) in a reference collection of MTBC strains including all major genotypes to define a highly discriminatory gene set. Overall, 161 polymorphisms were detected of which 59 are genotype-specific, while 13 define deeper branches such as the Euro-American lineage. Unbiased investigation of the most variable set of 11 genes in a population based strain collection (one year, city of Hamburg, Germany) confirmed the validity of SNP analysis as all strains were classified with high accuracy. Taken together, we defined a diagnostic algorithm which allows the identification of 17 MTBC phylogenetic lineages with high confidence for the first time by sequencing analysis of just five genes. In conclusion, the diagnostic algorithm developed in our study is likely to open the door for a low cost high resolution sequence/SNP based differentiation of the MTBC with a very high specificity. High throughput assays can be established which will be needed for large association studies that are mandatory for detailed investigation of host-pathogen-interaction during TB infection.

description: Increasing 2-dose vaccination coverage has led to an interruption of endemic measles virus circulation in Germany. However, outbreaks after virus importation still occur and contribute to international transmission chains. Between 2003 and 2009, annual measles incidence ranged between 0.2 and 2.8 per 100,000 population. Immunization gaps have been identified especially in secondary-school students and young adults, which is also reflected by a shift in age distribution of reported measles cases toward older age groups. Stronger political commitment and standardized guidelines for outbreak containment were put in place in Germany in the past years, but the last step toward measles elimination cannot be made until the number of susceptible individuals has been further reduced. In addition to routine childhood vaccination, supplementary immunization activities are needed targeting school students and young adults to close critical immunization gaps. Intensification of public awareness and sound information on vaccinations are necessary to convince skeptics and remind the forgetful.

description: Hermetic storage systems represent viable pest control methods for postharvest crop storage. Nevertheless, there is limited understanding of how insect respond to hypoxic conditions inside hermetic storage. This study was conducted to investigate: i) the oxygen consumption behavior of T. castaneum under hermetic conditions, and effects of hypoxia exposure on: ii) the survival of different life stages after hypoxia iii) their feeding and movement (activity), and iv) the cellular energy as a measure of adenylate energy charge (AEC). T. castaneum consumed 6.80 ± 0.45 mL of oxygen during egg-to-adulthood while adults consumed 5.37 ± 0.30 mL of oxygen during 21-d at 27°C. The daily rate of oxygen utilization increased with increasing temperature and in larger volume containers. Eggs and young larvae were the most susceptible stages, experiencing total mortality when exposed to 2% oxygen level for 3d compared to larvae and pupae (required ≥10 d), and adults (required ≥15 d). At 4% oxygen level, total mortality was achieved for eggs and other life stages at 5 d and ≥15 d, respectively. By contrast, the 8% oxygen level was not lethal except for eggs, but it caused significant developmental delays in immatures. Likewise, the ultrasonic device revealed that hypoxia exposure could affect insect activity within the first 30 minutes of treatments. Furthermore, the AEC index of T. castaneum adults at normoxia control was 0.70 ± 00, while the AEC at <1%, 2, 4, 8% oxygen levels were 0.18 ± 0.0, 0.19 ± 0.01, 0.25 ± 0.02, and 0.58 ±0.01, respectively suggesting that hypoxia diminish energy production in insect cells. Complete mortality of T. castaneum adults was achieved when exposed to <1% oxygen levels for 96 h. In conclusion, exposing T. castaneum to <2% oxygen levels for 15 d produce total mortality; however, even the higher levels of oxygen at 4-8% can subtly affect insect population development.

description: This article uses pronominal resilience to suggest how we can identify women's contributions to the colonial silk industry. By comparing different editions of silkworm treatises, all of which were published between 1650-1655 and circulated within the Hartlib Circle's circum-Atlantic network of readers (Bermuda, Germany, England, Ireland, Virginia), I find a pattern in the gendered language of the texts. Books that describe worms grown by women use feminine pronouns (she/her) to classify worms throughout the lifecycle, while books that describe worms grown by men begin with masculine pronouns (he/his) and become feminine (she/her) when the worms become reproductive in the third stage of the lifecycle.

description: The H5N1-clade 1 influenza vaccine strain NIBRG-14 produces exceptionally low amounts of antigen, a problem recently encountered also for initial pandemic H1N1-2009 vaccine seeds. Here, we report on a strategy that may contribute to overcome this obstacle. Influenza vaccine viruses usually consist of two segments coding for the antigenic HA and NA proteins of a wild-type strain and the six residual internal gene segments of the vaccine donor strain A/PR/8/34 (PR8). To enhance the antigen yield from H5N1 vaccine virus we generated by reverse genetics a set of PR8-based reassortant viruses expressing the HA and NA segments of the prototypic strain A/Vietnam/1203/2004 and additional replacements of the internal M or PB1 genes of PR8. The reassortants were compared to the parental PR8 and H5N1 viruses in terms of growth in embryonated chicken eggs and the amount of incorporated antigenic HA protein. Compared to NIBRG-14, three out of six viruses displayed an increased replication in embryonated chicken eggs and higher HA content that was also maintained after ether/detergent extraction of virions. Electron microscopic analysis showed that the reassortment hardly affected particle shape and size. Two selected H5N1 reassortant viruses were investigated concerning their pathogenicity in ferrets and found to behave as low pathogenic as the PR8 donor strain. In conclusion, this study shows that replication and antigen content of PR8-derived H5N1 influenza vaccine viruses can be improved by incorporation of heterologous internal gene segments without compromising their attenuated character.

Un método linguístico-discursivo que nos permite recuperar los saberes silenciados de los mineros andinos y entender mejor la relación entre el color, la raza y la ciencia colonial. Ya que el lenguaje marca en su gramática, vocabulario y léxico los rasgos e influencias del contacto linguístico-epistemológico podemos precisar las contribuciones intelectuales de los mineros andinos a través de la traducción y mala traducción en las ediciones inglesa (1670), alemana (1676) y francesa (1730) de la obra del padre Barba, tanto en los términos técnicos derivados del quechua y aimara, como conchos (qunchu/sedimento) y paco (ppaqu/bermejo), como en la racialización de los nombres de especies argentíferas, como las “castas de metales”: pacos, mulatos y negrillos.

description: Yersinia are Gram-negative, rod-shaped facultative anaerobes, and some of them, Yersinia enterocolitica, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Yersinia pestis, are pathogenic in humans. Rapid and accurate identification of Yersinia strains is essential for appropriate therapeutic management and timely intervention for infection control. In the past decade matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) in combination with computer-aided pattern recognition has evolved as a rapid, objective, and reliable technique for microbial identification. In this comprehensive study a total of 146 strains of all currently known Yersinia species complemented by 35 strains of other relevant genera of the Enterobacteriaceae family were investigated by MALDI-TOF MS and chemometrics. Bacterial sample preparation included microbial inactivation according to a recently developed mass spectrometry compatible inactivation protocol. The mass spectral profiles were evaluated by supervised feature selection methods to identify family-, genus-, and species-specific biomarker proteins and--for classification purposes--by pattern recognition techniques. Unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis revealed a high degree of correlation between bacterial taxonomy and subproteome-based MALDI-TOF MS classification. Furthermore, classification analysis by supervised artificial neural networks allowed identification of strains of Y. pestis with an accuracy of 100%. In-depth analysis of proteomic data demonstrated the existence of Yersinia-specific biomarkers at m/z 4350 and 6046. In addition, we could also identify species-specific biomarkers of Y. enterocolitica at m/z 7262, 9238, and 9608. For Y. pseudotuberculosis a combination of biomarkers at m/z 6474, 7274, and 9268 turned out to be specific, while a peak combination at m/z 3065, 6637, and 9659 was characteristic for strains of Y. pestis. Bioinformatic approaches and tandem mass spectrometry were employed to reveal the molecular identity of biomarker ions. In this way, the Y. pestis-specific biomarker at m/z 3065 could be identified as a fragment of the plasmid-encoded plasminogen activator, one of the major virulence factors in plague infections.

description: Execution comparison techniques compare multiple executions from the same program or highly similar programs to identify state differences including control flow differences and variable value differences. Execution comparison has been used to debug sequential, concurrent, and regression failures, by reasoning about the causality between execution differences and input differences, thread scheduling differences, and syntactic differences among program versions, respectively. However, execution comparison techniques have several limitations. First, executions may have benign differences, which are not related to the behavior differences that the user can observe. Second, huge storage spaces are required to record two independent executions. Third, the techniques can only compare executions from the same or similar programs.
In this dissertation, we present an execution comparison technique that (1) removes benign differences, (2) requires less space, and (3) can compare two different programs implementing similar algorithms. Also, we present that the execution comparison technique can be used in identifying and extracting a functional component out of a binary. First, we present a dual execution engine that executes multiple executions at the same time and only introduces the desired differences. Also, the engine compares the executions on-the-fly and stores the differences only. Second, we present a technique to compare two programs written by two different programmers. Especially we will show that this technique can compare the buggy program from a student and the correct from the instructor and can reason about the errors.

description: CD200 is a cell surface glycoprotein that binds an inhibitory receptor (CD200R) on myeloid cells. CD200 orthologues are present in many species of virus, and we show that the rat cytomegalovirus CD200 orthologue (e127) is expressed at the cell surface on infected cells. It binds the host CD200R with the same affinity as that of the host protein, and thus this protein acts as a close mimic of the host protein and has the potential to downregulate immune responses to the virus.

description: Seit vielen Jahren ist die Krebssterblichkeit (Krebsmortalität) insgesamt bei Männern und Frauen in Deutschland erfreulich rückläufig und wird sich dieser Schätzung zufolge auch in den nächsten Jahren so weiterentwickeln. Dennoch weisen einige Krebsarten ansteigende Sterberaten auf, wie beispielsweise Lungenkrebs bei Frauen, der sich zukünftig zur häufigsten Krebstodesursache bei Frauen entwickeln könnte. Außerdem wird durch den zu erwartenden demografischen Wandel die absolute Zahl an Krebssterbefällen bis 2015 voraussichtlich leicht ansteigen auf dann jährlich rund 220.000 Fälle.
description: For many years, the total cancer mortality among men and women in Germany has been declining and it is expected that this trend will continue in the next few years. However, some cancer sites show increasing death rates, such as lung cancer in women who might become the leading cancer mortality site among women in the near future. Due to the demographic changes in Germany the absolute number of cancer deaths is expected to increase slightly till 2015 to roughly rounded 220,000 cases.

Glycine

description: Evaluation of perennial Glycine species for resistance to P. penetrans   The Bartlett test for homogeneity of variance was significant (P <0.05) between trials so data were analyzed separately (Table 4). For both trials, none of the perennial Glycine species showed reduced infection compared with the soybean varieties. For trial 1, G. clandestina PI 440960 and G. tomentella PI 339655 had significantly more nematodes per gram of root than cv. Lee 68, which had an average of 8 nematodes per gram of root. For trial 2, no accessions were significantly different from cv. Lee 68.

description: In Baden-Wuerttemberg, a federal state in south-west Germany, a large outbreak of 1089 laboratory-confirmed human Puumala virus (PUUV) infections occurred in 2007. We conducted a survey to describe the disease burden and a case-control study to identify risk factors for acquiring PUUV. Case-patients were interviewed about clinical outcome and both case-patients and randomly recruited controls were interviewed about exposure. We calculated matched odds ratios (mOR) using a conditional logistic regression model. Multivariable analysis of 191 matched case-control pairs showed that case-patients were more likely than controls to have seen small rodents/their droppings (mOR 1·9, 95% CI 1·2–3·0), cleaned utility rooms (mOR 1·8, 95% CI 1·0–3·4) and visited forest shelters (mOR 3·9, 95% CI 1·1–14·3). Two thirds of case-patients required hospitalization. During PUUV epidemics rodent control measures and use of protective equipment should be considered in utility rooms and shelters.
