title: A study of factors that influence consumer behavior of gold saving toward online platforms

description: With the divergence in global economy and a rising digital platform, individual investors need to consider all kinds of saving and investment instruments, such as equity stock trading, mutual fund, and commodity, on different platforms, from offline to online, to give as much return possible. As gold is a haven for political risk, economic risk, and war, to hedge and reduce risks from other investments, this independent study was focused mainly on the factors that influence consumer behavior of gold saving toward online platforms. This study was a contemporary topic in applied marketing focusing on technology, specifically on how to influence Thai people to start saving more gold using online applications. The objectives were (1) to understand the criteria that people choose when they decide to invest in particular product/service, (2) to identify critical factors influencing saving concern toward online services and (3) to evaluate the saving value consumers willing to trade off with other services with online services and (4) to identify segments based on consumer attitudes, behaviors and trade-off value. The research duration was 12 weeks, starting from 10th January 2020 until 5th April 2020.The literature reviews covered the background of saving in Thailand, the concept of saving and investment, individual saving and investment, the principle of investment, and the gold industry in Thailand. Both primary and secondary research methodologies were conducted. Secondary sources came from the government agency’s website and published information, gold online platform community and online articles. The primary approach consisted of seven in-depth interviews, and 135 surveys of people who invested in at least one form of investments and performed online monetary transactions. The gathered data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).In terms of saving and investment, people allocated the saving and investing amount into almost half. The average expected return was 13 percent annually. They also understood the concept of high risk and high return well, and, on average, diversified into four different types of investment. In terms of online investment factors, they gave highest priority on security and credibility. More than half of the respondents showed interest in trying the gold online platform giving convenience as the key reason. The results showed that interested respondents in gold online platforms could be classified into two groups: information seeker (50.5%) and convenience seeker (49.5%) based on online investment behavior. The conclusion was that gold service providers should focus mainly on people with age ranging between 26 to 35 years old because other demographic factors had little to no impact on the investment decision.

title: A study of motives influencing Thais to purchase eyeglasses frames online

description: Thailand’s optical market is a stable market with a relatively small growth. Recently however, the industry itself is undergoing a critical change in business perspectives. In order to stay healthy, it is important for shop owners to adapt and innovate. “A STUDY OF MOTIVES INFLUENCING THAIS TO PURCHASE EYEGLASSES FRAMES ONLINE” aims to analyze market opportunities, consumers segments, consumer’s desired online journeys, and motivations for further online purchasing. The resulting analysis would provide invaluable insights and business suggestions for optical shop owners and eyewear distributors.Data were obtained through both primary and secondary sources. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used. In-depth interviews were conducted on 8 eyeglasses users who were interested in online purchasing or have purchased eyeglasses online. A questionnaire was deployed with a target response of 200 eyeglasses users. Non-probability sampling method was used to recruit all respondents. The results of this study show that there are three segments of online eyeglasses buyers - The Functional users, The Social users and The Selective users. The most preferred customer journey is the one with online purchasing of the frame(s), followed by a visit to an optical shop to receive the frame(s) and have an eye examination for prescription lenses. Three significant motives for online purchasing are frame design, frame quality, and frame price.Overall, a better understanding of online purchase by eyeglasses frame buyers yields further insights for the eyewear industry. This study, therefore, provides practical suggestions for business managers and helps entrepreneurs as well as others associated with eyewear industry to create and develop their marketing strategies.

title: Thai consumers’ perception and behavior toward environmentally friendly food and beverage packaging

description: At present, many natural disasters and incidents occur from environmental destruction. Many countries are trying to raise consumer awareness about environmental conservation. Plastic pollution is still a major issue that contributes to the global warming situation. This research is a contemporary topic in applied marketing and the area of social issues. The purpose of the research is to determine the perception and attitudes of Thai consumers toward environmentally friendly packaging in the food and beverage industry. Furthermore, it will attempt to identify factors that act as triggers or barriers for consumers in their decision toward using or not using environmentally friendly food and beverage packaging. This study focuses on a group of Thai consumers who are millennials and live in the Bangkok metropolitan area and purchase food and beverages on their own. The research used qualitative and quantitative analysis and involved both exploratory and descriptive research. The exploratory research included secondary data and in-depth interviews while the descriptive research was carried out using an online questionnaire. The qualitative research explored customer insights to identify factors that act as triggers or barriers on consumer decision making toward using or not using environmentally friendly packaging of food and beverages. Additionally, the questionnaire measured the current perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of consumers toward environmentally friendly packaging. SPSS was used to analyze the data. Results revealed that the most popular environmentally friendly packaging for on the go consumption are shopping bags, reusable cups or tumblers. Furthermore, an important factor that promotes the use of environmentally friendly packaging is whether or not it has ‘a long lifetime of use’. On the other hand, a barrier that affects the decision not to use them is ‘unreasonable price’. Moreover, data regarding social influences reveal that family members have a statistically significant influence on the individual’s decision toward using such packaging. As for the marketing mix, the factor that was most selected by the respondents and has the highest mean compared with others, is price discount. Furthermore, a point collection to redeem reusable packaging is a statistically significant factor that affects the decision to use environmentally friendly packaging. In terms of influencing factors, data results indicate that price discounts and point of collection for redeeming free reusable packaging play a role in affecting customers’ intention to use environmentally friendly food and beverage packaging. Apart from receiving a normal price discount, the marketing initiative should offer a special day for customers to receive extra price discounts, such as on the customer's birthday. Moreover, since customers are concerned with environmental issues, conducting a campaign for social and environmental causes would result in a good brand image for the company.

title: A study of millennials’ behavior toward credit card selection with and without promotion

description: A study of Millennials' behavior toward credit card selection with and without promotion is a contemporary topic in Applied Marketing related to the technology subject area. It consists of five research objectives. First is to identify all segmentations among credit card users, e.g. Promotion-driven, Prestigious-addicted or Installment master. Second is to understand and develop the credit card customer journey for each segment. Third is to identify promotion sensitivity towards each merchant category in each segment. Fourth is to find which credit card is the most frequently used and why. Fifth is to determine the deciding factor(s) that make credit card users select a certain credit card to use given there is no promotion offered.This study focused on Millennials (those born from 1981 to 1996) who used a credit card at least once in the past 30 days. The study was conducted through two research methods, including exploratory (in-depth interviews) and descriptive (online questionnaire). The majority of the findings were gained by using quantitative data with SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).The results were summarized in a descriptive way that provides insightful findings that can be converted into action. The potential companies that might benefit from this study are those that issue credit cards, acquiring banks, as well as international payment brands. The study will help shape their understanding of target customers, what they are looking for, and how they select a card to be the one that they use the most. By understanding more about their customers, issuing organizations will eventually enhance the experience between brands and target customers as well as increase customer lifetime value.

title: Global warming awareness, attitudes and purchase intention toward hypermarkets/supermarkets without free plastic bags in Bangkok

description: The use of single-use plastic bags around the world is accelerating climate change and climate change is one of the key environmental health issues of Thailand. Low-value plastic waste including plastic shopping bag is less likely to be collected by Thai waste picker individuals, thus they contributed into the ocean as 80% of plastic-waste. To achieve the goal of keeping the global average temperature below 2 °C above pre-industry levels and putting in effort to limit the temperature increases to 1.5 °C this century, starting from January 2020, Thailand is banning single-use plastic bags in hypermarkets and supermarkets. This research study used both qualitative and quantitative researches to understand the awareness of Thai consumers have on different causes of global warming including plastic bags, their awareness and attitudes toward hypermarkets/supermarkets banning the use of single-use plastic bags in 2020, and their purchase intention towards hypermarkets/supermarkets that do not give out free plastic bags. The data were collected from five in-depths interviews and 200 survey questionnaires in which the sampling method was non-probability sampling. All data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) program. The research results showed that most people (99.7%) were aware of global warming. Younger age people and those with high education level knew more about different causes of global warming. 99% of people in Bangkok knew about Thailand’s new regulation of banning single-use plastic bags in hypermarkets/supermarkets and they were positive about the regulation. Females were more positive toward the regulation than males and they are more likely to bring their own bags to shopping. Everyone believed that it is their responsibility as a citizen to take care of the environment and fight global warming. People felt inconvenient with no free plastic bags given in hypermarkets/supermarkets, some did not see single-use plastic bag as trash because they normally reuse it at home, and they were not willing to pay for a plastic bag. However, these negative attitudes did not affect the purchase intention they had toward hypermarkets/supermarkets that do not give out free plastic bags.

title: Dataset of BattLeDIM: Battle of the Leakage Detection and Isolation Methods

description: Drinking Water Distribution Networks (DWDN) are susceptible to infrastructure failures, which may lead to water losses. Typically, these water losses are due to background leakages and pipe bursts which may occur anywhere within the distribution network. Background leakages are normally difficult to detect due to their small size, whereas pipe bursts are easier to locate as they are of larger size and may appear on the surface. The early detection and localization of some leakage event is extremely important, as this would reduce the time required for accommodating the event and therefore reducing the risk of further infrastructure degradation, contamination events and consumer complaints. In previous years, a number of methodologies have been proposed to detect and isolate the location of leakage events using various types of sensor measurements. These methods were commonly evaluated on private commercial datasets, and as a result, it is not possible to objectively compare these methods in their ability to detect and isolate leaks. In the past year, a leakage detection dataset has been proposed, LeakDB, based on benchmark networks and created using the WNTR tool, using pressure-driven demands and realistic leakage modelling. Inspired by the “BATtle of the Attack Detection ALgorithms” (BATADAL), which focused on the detection of cyber-physical attacks, our team decided to organize a similar “battle” focusing on leakage events. The Battle of the Leakage Detection and Isolation Methods (BattLeDIM), aims at objectively comparing the performance of methods for the detection and localization of leakage events, relying on SCADA measurements of flow and pressure sensors installed within water distribution networks. Participants may use different types of tools and methods, including (but not limited to) engineering judgement, machine learning, statistical methods, signal processing, and model-based fault diagnosis approaches.

title: Dataset for Figure 9a from Sources and space–time distribution of the electromagnetic pulses in experiments on inertial confinement fusion and laser–plasma acceleration

description: When high-energy and high-power lasers interact with matter, a significant part of the incoming laser energy is transformed into transient electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) in the range of radiofrequencies and microwaves. These fields can reach high intensities and can potentially represent a significative danger for the electronic devices placed near the interaction point. Thus, the comprehension of the origin of these electromagnetic fields and of their distribution is of primary importance for the safe operation of high-power and high-energy laser facilities, but also for the possible use of these high fields in several promising applications. A recognized main source of EMPs is the target positive charging caused by the fast-electron emission due to laser–plasma interactions. The fast charging induces high neutralization currents from the conductive walls of the vacuum chamber through the target holder. However, other mechanisms related to the laser–target interaction are also capable of generating intense electromagnetic fields. Several possible sources of EMPs are discussed here and compared for high-energy and high-intensity laser–matter interactions, typical for inertial confinement fusion and laser–plasma acceleration. The possible effects on the electromagnetic field distribution within the experimental chamber, due to particle beams and plasma emitted from the target, are also described.This article is part of the xx ‘Prospects for high gain inertial fusion energy (Part 2)’.

title: Sex Bias in COVID-19 Data - Supplementary Table 1

description: An online search of government websites and published literature was performed for regional data reports on COVID-19 cases that included sex as a variable from 1<sup>st</sup> January 2020 up until 1<sup>st</sup> June 2020 (Search terms: COVID-19/case/sex/country/data/death/ICU/ITU). In order to ensure unbiased representation from as many regions as possible, a cross check was done using the list of countries reporting data on ‘Worldometer’, and an attempt was made to include as many regions reporting sex data as possible. Reports were translated using Google translate if they were not in English.<b>Data selection, extraction and synthesis</b>Reports were included if they contained sex as a variable in data describing case number, intensive treatment unit (ITU) admission, or mortality. Data were entered directly by individual researchers into an online structured data extraction table. For some sources, counts of male confirmed cases or male deaths were not provided, but percentages of male cases or male deaths were provided instead. To include these sources and avoid biases that might be introduced by their exclusion, we calculated counts of male confirmed cases and male deaths from the reported percentages with rounding to the nearest integer. We acknowledge that this approach assumes that the reported percentages are reflective of the true percentages. For some sources, data included confirmed cases and deaths of unknown sex. For these sources, the reported totals were used where the proportion of unknown sex was small. This approach was preferred to excluding cases of unknown sex in order to avoid bias. The estimates represent the proportion of known male infections and odds ratios for mortality associated with known male sex, and will differ slightly from what the true values would be if the sex had been reported for all cases. Data were available at the level of country or regional summary data representing distinct individuals for each report, but not at the level of covariates for all individuals within a study. Consequently, covariates such as lifestyle, comorbidities, testing method and case type (hospital vs. community) could not be controlled for.
