Effects of attitude and destination image on association members&apos; meeting participation intentions: Development of meeting participation model

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Understanding association members ’ meeting participation behaviors is the key to the well-attended meeting, which is a common goal of both associations and host destinations. However, little research has contributed to theoretical development in this area, and the lack of a theoretical framework has negatively influenced the validity of existing research. Thus, this study attempted to explain association members ’ meeting participation behaviors, using a conceptually sound model of meeting participation, which was developed based on existing human behavior theories: the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Another main objective of this study was to test the validity of the meeting participation model (MPM). By comparing the utility of three competing models (TRA, TPB, and MPM), this study confirmed the effectiveness of the meeting participation model (MPM) in explaining association members ’ intentions to attend the annual meeting. The proposed meeting participation model was empirically examined using the data collected from 245 members of the International Council on Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education (CHRIE). The results of model development revealed that the MPM fits the data very
Parent-child communication about marriage and the displacement of marital myths

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Marriage and divorce are common in the U.S. today, and the question of "why is the divorce rate so high?" lingers in popular culture. The purpose of this study is to examine the need for parent-child communication about marriage to determine if it can help to dispel marital myths that abound in U.S. society. This study takes a qualitative approach to the communication between parents and their children about the topic of marriage. Three research questions are asked regarding what messages were transmitted between parents and their (now adult) children about marriage, how accurate the children perceive these messages to be, and whether these messages have displaced or reinforced existing marital myths for these individuals. An inductive analysis revealed that several themes and sub-themes of messages were transmitted from parent to child about what marriage is, generally these messages were perceived to be accurate by the children, and largely, these messages appear to displace marital myth. Implications and limitations of this study, as well as future avenues for research on this topic, are discussed.
Author manuscript, published in &quot;3rd Junior Researcher Workshop on Real-Time Computing (JRWRTC 2009) (2009)&quot; Toward a TLM to RTL refinement: a formal approach

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Due to increasing complexity of SoC and shortening life time cycle of product, time to market becomes a major challenge in SoC design. To overcome this problem, an abstract representation of the platform under development can be used by software developers at the early stage of the development. This abstracted platform is then refined until its complete specification. For now, it remains difficult to implement and simulate a system that mixes TLM and RTL code. In this paper, we proposed a first step to bridge this gap by using CCSL as a mean to synchronize the system interfaces independently of their abstraction level. We describe a potential way to logically specify transaction at different levels of abstraction. 1.
Remisi Hukuman Koruptor dalam Konstruksi Media: Analisis Framing Program Talkshow Mata Najwa dan Satu Meja The Forum

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Discounts on punishment for corruptors are rife in Indonesia. Djoko Tjandra and Pinangki Sirna Malasari, who were caught in corruption and bribery cases, received a reduced sentence in the appeal stage at the DKI Jakarta High Court. Meanwhile, Juliari Peter Batubara, a former social minister who was caught in a corruption case involving social assistance funds (bansos) received leniency and was only sentenced to 11 years in prison by the KPK. News about corruption in Indonesia has a high news value in society. Therefore, various media provide their own portion in reporting discounts on corruptor punishments. In providing information to the public, the media select the facts of an event that they believe is important according to the interests of the media themselves. This study discusses how the media framed the discount case for corruptors' punishment in the talkshows Mata Najwa and Satu Meja The Forum. The purpose of this study is to find out how the two media perceive, understand, construct and frame these socio-political problems. This study uses Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki's framing analysis with syntactic, script, thematic, and rhetorical analysis structures. The results of this study indicate that there are differences in the construction of reality between the talkshow Mata Najwa and Satu Meja The Forum in reporting the same event. Mata Najwa shows his alignment with the community by emphasizing reporting on the human interest side. Meanwhile, Satu Meja The Forum seeks to create a balanced discussion by focusing on the political side and legal issues.

Attitude Dynamics and Control of Liquid Filled Spacecraft with Large Amplitude Fuel Slosh

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This paper focuses on the attitude dynamics and control of liquid filled spacecraft, and the large amplitude fuel slosh dynamics is included by using an improved moving pulsating ball model. The moving pulsating ball model is an equivalent mechanical model that is capable of imitating the whole liquid reorientation process, specifically for the occurrence of large amplitude slosh. This model is improved by incorporating a static capillary force and an effective mass factor. The improvements on this model are validated with previously published experiment results. The spacecraft attitude maneuver is implemented by the momentum transfer technique, and the feedback control strategy is designed based on Lyapunov theory. The effects of liquid viscosity, tank location and desired steady time on sloshing torque and control torque are investigated. The attitude control strategy applied in this paper is proved to be applicable for the coupled liquid filled spacecraft system. The obtained conclusions are useful to aid in liquid filled spacecraft overall design.

Molecular characteristics of early-onset versus average-onset gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

496 Background: Incidence of early-onset gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (eoGEA, ages <50 years) has been increasing in the United States since the 1990s, the etiology of which is still unclear, and limited data exists on molecular drivers. This study evaluates somatic and germline profiles in eoGEA compared to average-onset GEA (aoGEA, ages≥ 50 years). Methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study utilizing data from de-identified records of GEA (esophageal, gastroesophageal junction and gastric adenocarcinomas) patients who underwent somatic NGS testing via the Tempus xT assay (595-648 gene DNA panel) from 12/2017 to 07/2024. This assay assesses somatic tumor mutations (including SNVs, Indels, CNVs, and select SVs), MSI, TMB, and incidentally detected germline SNVs and small indels in matched normal tissue. Clinical characteristics and immunotherapy markers were compared between eoGEA and aoGEA by Wilcoxon Rank Sum or Chi-squared test. Somatic and germline mutations were compared between two age groups with false discovery rate adjustments. Results: We compared the demographic, clinical, and molecular features of a total of 5863 patients with eoGEA (n=785, median age 43) and aoGEA (n=5078, median age 68). Over 80% of patients were diagnosed with stage IV disease. The eoGEA group had a higher proportion of females, non-white, and Hispanic or Latino patients compared to the aoGEA group (p<0.001). Prevalence of MSI-H/ dMMR, and TMB-H was lower in eoGEA vs aoGEA (p<0.001), while PD-L1 expression was similar. Prevalence of somatic CDH1 , CDKN2A , and TP53 SNVs, and FGFR2 and KRAS CNAs were higher in eoGEA vs aoGEA (q<0.001). In a subset of 3286 patients with tumor/normal match testing (eoGEA=464 and aoGEA=2822), eoGEA also had a higher prevalence of germline CDH1 mutations (q<0.001). Conclusions: eoGEA has a unique somatic and germline mutation profile compared to aoGEA; further study evaluating the molecular landscape including epigenetic changes could shed light on underlying mechanisms responsible for the rising incidence of eoGEA. eoGEA (n=785) aoGEA (n=5078) p-value/q-value* Baseline characteristics Median age at diagnosis (IQR) 43 (38, 47) 68 (61,74) <0.001 Gender: male 509 (65%) 3798 (75%) <0.001 Race (white) 280 (69%) 2347 (80%) <0.001 Ethnicity (not hispanic or latino) 206 (60%) 1768 (86% <0.001 Stage IV 495 (85%) 2883 (81%) 0.073 Immunologic markers TMB ≥ 10 25 (3.2%) 519(10%) <0.001 MSI-H 13 (1.7%) 261 (5.1%) <0.001 dMMR 7 (2.2%) 120 (5.9%) 0.007 Somatic mutations profiles * CDH1 126 (16%) 334 (6.6%) <0.001 TP53 515 (66%) 3764 (74%) <0.001 CDKN2A 101 (13%) 1011 (20%) <0.001 KRAS 92 (12%) 931 (18%) <0.001 NOTCH1 12 (1.5%) 228 (4.5%) 0.002 Germline mutation profiles * eoGEA (N=464) aoGEA (N= 2,822) Overall prevalence 46 (9.9%) 207 (7.3%)

血液透析 (HD) 患者のHCV感染率は高率で, 輸血のほか透析医療行為による感染の可能性がある. 維持透析中にC型肝炎を急性発症したため, 感染源を特定し感染経路を推測し得た症例を報告する.症例は52歳女性. 半月体形成性腎炎により持続携行式腹膜透析 (CAPD) 導入となり8年を超えたため, 2001年8月より計画的にHDに移行し間歌的腹腔洗浄のみ行っていた. 2002年1月GOT 894U/L, GPT 1,254U/Lと著しい肝機能障害を認め, 精査加療目的に入院. HCV抗体が陰性で, HCV-RNAが陽性であったため急性C型肝炎と診断した. トランスアミナーゼは順調に低下したが, T-Bilが第9病日となっても10.3mg/dLと上昇を続けたため強力ネオミノファーゲンの投与を行い退院した.本症例では透析医療行為による感染を疑い, 2001年9月-2002年1月に当院でHDを行ったHCV抗体陽性患者全員のHCV genotypeを検索し, 本症例と同じ1bの患者9例を抽出した. 次いで本症例を含めた10例で, HCV RNA E1領域中の400の塩基配列を調査した. その結果, 2001年12月に5回の透析を本例と同一日に行った1患者の塩基配列が, 本症例と98.8%の相同性をもっており, 感染源であると判明した. 5回のうち, 同一ベッドで前後して透析を行ったことはなく, 5回とも本例は感染源例より約1時間遅れて透析を開始し終了していた. また, 5回のうち1回で透析ベッドが隣り合っていた. 明らかな血液の汚染事故はなかったので, その際に行われた透析手技を再度見直したところ, 穿刺時および終了・返血時の手技, さらに注射薬のポート注入などの際に手袋やアルコール綿の汚染を介して発生した可能性が考えられた. そのためそれらに対して具体的な防御策を検討し実行した.本例は血液透析患者におけるHCV感染防御手段を検討し, 今後の感染を防ぐために非常に重要な症例であった.
Mapping of Mutational Alterations in DNA with S1 Nuclease: The Location of Deletions, Insertions and Temperature-sensitive Mutations in SV40

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

S1 nuclease from Aspergillus oryzae degrades single- but not double-stranded DNA (Ando 1966); nevertheless, superhelical SV40 (Beard et al. 1973) and polyoma (Germond et al. 1974) DNAs are converted to unit-length linear molecules by this enzyme. Presumably this occurs because unpaired, or weakly hydrogen-bonded regions, susceptible to S1 nuclease, occur or can be induced in the strained superhelical molecule. S1 nuclease can also cleave duplex DNA at or near single-strand nicks under conditions where intact duplex DNA is relatively resistant (Beard et al. 1973; Germond et al. 1974).
Organic constituents of gelatins and animal glues. II. Analytical study on the turbidity factor from a bone glue

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The turbidity factor from a bone glue has been isolated and shown to be a lipid‐gelatin‐mucoprotein complex. Evidence is provided showing that the mucoprotein is ‘osseomucoid’, a mucopolysaccharide‐protein complex from bone, and the lipid arises from depot fat. Some properties of the complex indicate that the gelatin is probably ionically bound.
Worsening of Sarcopenia After Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt in Cirrhotic Patients: Does It Correlate with Model of End-Stage Liver Disease Score?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Sarcopenia is a common complication in cirrhotic patients and adversely affects the morbidity, mortality and the development of other complications in these patients. The purpose of our study is to determine if there is any change in the psoas muscle density (PD) after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement and determine its correlation with model of end stage liver disease (MELD) score.Table 1: Overall correlation between psoas density and lab valuesTable 2: Change in psoas density and MELD score before and after TIPSFigure 1Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 84 patients who had TIPS placed between June 2005 and June 2015. We compared the PD measured in Hounsfield units (HU) on the pre and post TIPS non-enhanced CT scans. The primary endpoint was to determine if there was a significant change in PD after TIPS placement. Secondary end points were to correlate the PD with the MELD score after TIPS placement. Results: The study included 60 males (71.4%), 62 Caucasians (73.8%) with an average age of 53.9 years (SD=7.9). The main cause of cirrhosis was nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (32.1%), hepatitis C (26.2%) and alcoholic cirrhosis (16.7%). There was no significant difference between the pre-TIPS PD in the different etiologic groups (p=0.98). TIPS was performed for intractable ascites (50.9%) and for variceal bleeding (49.1%). There was a decrease in the PD (47.98 to 46.34 HU) after TIPS placement but was not statistically significant (p=0.14). The change in PD did not vary significantly based on the MELD score. There was a significant increase in the MELD score after TIPS (12 to 15, pp= 0.04). There was no significant correlation between the change in PD and MELD score (r=0.03, p=0.81) or serum albumin (r=-0.09, p=0.40). There was a statistically significant negative correlation between PD and BUN (r=-0.301, p=0.0053), Cr (r=-0.221, p=0.0446), and bilirubin (r=-0.290,p=0.0082) after TIPS. Conclusion: Contrary to what was published in the literature, PD worsens after TIPS placement in cirrhotic patients. The change in PD does not correlate with MELD score or serum albumin. Further prospective studies with larger patient population are required to assess the validity of these results.
Religion, Language and Community in the Roman Near East: Constantine to Muhammad, by Fergus Millar

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The outcome of Fergus Millar’s Schweich Lectures in Biblical Archaeology, delivered in 2010 at the British Academy, this book offers an amazingly wide-ranging image of the groups inhabiting ‘the Roman Near East’ in late antiquity, with particular attention given not only to the Syriac sources, but also to Jewish and Samaritan history and texts. Woven into this compendium is a restatement of Millar’s long-held and still controversial argument regarding the role of Greek language and culture in the Near East. Following a series of articles, as well as sections of his A Greek Roman Empire (2006), this book tackles the largely rhetorical question, ‘Was it the case that … the Greek culture, which was expressed both in public language and in architecture, should be seen as a façade, masking the continued presence of a population speaking a Semitic language inherited from the period before Alexander’s conquests?’ (pp. 14–15). The question is rhetorical because we already know Millar’s answer, which is here systematically set out in three long chapters and a short epilogue.
Partial Prior Information and Decisionmaking

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

In a desionmaking situation if prior information is vague, indecision may result. A model for partial prior information is established and from this arises the notion of a set of feasible decisions. The existence of more than one feasible decision represents the existence of indecision. In many practical situations the partial prior information may be given by linear inequalities on the prior probabilities in which case there is a computationally attractive method for determining the set of feasible decisions.
Wearables at work: preferences from an employee’s perspective

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This exploratory study aims to obtain a first impression of the wishes and needs of employees on the use of wearables at work for health promotion. 76 employ-ees with a mean age of 40 years old (SD ±11.7) filled in a survey after trying out a wearable. Most employees see the potential of using wearable devices for workplace health promotion. However, according to employees, some negative aspects should be overcome before wearables can effectively contribute to health promotion. The most mentioned negative aspects were poor visualization and un-pleasantness of wearing. Specifically for the workplace, employees were con-cerned about the privacy of data collection.

[Transferrable broad-spectrum beta-lactam resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae R-3455].

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents is a common problem observed in hospitals. We characterized a clinical isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae (R-3455) which was resistant to high concentrations of broad spectrum beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, chloramphenicol and tetracycline. Conjugation experiments showed that the multiresistance could be transferred to Escherichia coli J53-2 receptor strain. The transconjugant X-3455 was resistant to all antibacterials assayed in R-3455, except to fluoroquinolones. We found that both strains R-3455 and X-3455 produced a beta-lactamase which was sensitive to clavulanic acid. Southern hybridization and PCR analysis showed the presence of at least, a TEM type beta-lactamase gene in both strains.
A biomaterials approach to peripheral nerve repair

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Peripheral nerve injuries are a major clinical problem which currently affect over one million people worldwide. Transection injuries caused by workplace and home injuries, road traffic accidents and by intentional harm lead to debilitating and painful injuries for those afflicted. Treatments are limited and largely ineffective. The patient's own donor nerve (autograft) is the gold standard for repair but this treatment is largely unsuccessful, suffering from limited supply with donor site morbidity and pain. The use of hollow nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) is the current clinically approved alternative. However these have shown limited applicability in the clinic. Thus, the objective of this thesis was to improve and understand the use of these hollow NGCs and attempt to improve functional nerve regeneration using the concept of intraluminal guidance. Intraluminal guidance involves the incorporation of biomaterial structures (in this instance extruded collagen fibres) to replace the natural fibrin cable which forms during repair and guide regenerating axons to their distal targets. An intraluminal collagen fibre conduit was tested across both a non-critical (10 mm) and critical nerve gap (15 mm) in a rat sciatic nerve model for its ability to promote repair. Through sequential studies, it was shown that the incorporation of intraluminal structure reduced the misdirection of regenerating axons during repair and also achieved functional regeneration in a number of parameters similar to that of the gold standard. Additionally, the intraluminal fibre conduit demonstrated the ability to regenerate across, the aforementioned, critical nerve gap (a nerve gap where regeneration is minimal if not absent). Based on these results, a further understanding of the early molecular mechanisms resulting in these beneficial effects was warranted. Using proteomics analysis the effect of the biomaterial used, the incorporation of intraluminal structure and the influence of increasing gap distance were documented. From this understanding, the key molecular components governing the increased nerve regeneration seen in the intraluminal fibre conduit and the robust regeneration seen within autograft were revealed. Based on the conclusions of this study, an intraluminal fibre conduit or a hollow biomaterial conduit may be further functionalised to match the molecular profile of the gold standard for repair.
