Trust and loyalty in online brand communities

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effects of brand trust and online brand community (OBC) trust on consumer repurchase intention and the positive electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) intention of OBC members. Design/methodology/approach The research model was assessed using data from a sample of 628 OBC users using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings The results show that brand trust positively affects repurchase intention and positive eWOM intention, both directly and indirectly through OBC trust. The total effect of brand trust on the results is greater than that of OBC trust. Originality/value This research contributes to marketing theory and practice by analysing the combined effect of OBC trust and brand trust on the consumer–brand relationship in the context of OBCs.
Zirconia-Based Aerogels for Sorption and Degradation of Dimethyl Methylphosphonate

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Inspired by recent breakthroughs with Zr(OH)4-type materials that decompose chemical warfare agents (CWAs), we explore aerogel forms of zirconium oxyhydroxide (ZrOxHy) as reactive sorbents for dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), a common simulant for organophosphorous CWAs. Zirconia gels were synthesized using propylene oxide and aqueous ZrCl4, followed by supercritical-CO2 extraction to yield monolithic ZrOxHy aerogels. Subsequent calcination at temperatures ≥350 °C removes organic byproducts of the epoxide-based synthesis while preserving high specific surface area (up to 234 m2 g–1) and the aerogel-like, cocontinuous pore-solid structure. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy confirm that ZrOxHy aerogels retain a high concentration of surface hydroxyls, even when heated to 600 °C and converted to nanocrystalline cubic/monoclinic ZrO2. We used in situ IR spectroscopy to probe the interactions of DMMP with a series of ZrOxHy aerogel powders, showing that DMMP rapidly decomposes by reacting with the hydroxyl-rich aerogel to form surface-bound Zr–OCH3 and bridging O–P–O species. We compare these results to those of related zirconia-type materials and discuss prospects and advantages of ZrOxHy aerogels for CWA mitigation.
Bunch Ash as Source of Potassium and Soil pH Improvement in Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa L.)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Two consecutive field studies were conducted to evaluate the use of bunch ash of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) empty fruit bunch as source of fertilizer and soil amendment to increase soil pH in the cultivation of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). In the first trial, alfalfa was given two sources of K, either muriate of potash (MOP, 60% K2O) or bunch ash (BA, 30% K2O). Four rates of K2O were applied: 0 (control), 100, 200 and 400kg K2O per hectare. The trial was carried out using the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. In addition to K, equal rates of nitrogen at 17 N kg/ha and phosphate 56 kg P2O5 per hectare were applied as basal fertilizers. Initial soil pH was 4.57 and the soil was limed at the rate of 13 t/ha to raise pH to 6.85, the optimum pH for alfalfa. The results showed that BA and MOP gave the same yield and quality of alfalfa at all rates of K2O. Both sources of fertilizers gave dry matter yield of between 3.4 t ha-1 to 7.7 t ha-1, crude protein of leaf between 18.67% - 24.27% and crude protein of stem between 13.31% - 19.26%. The mineral concentration and fibre concentration were also not significantly different between alfalfa applied with MOP and BA. Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) of leaves were 72.56% and 72.25%, NDFof stem were 66.5% and 68.0%, respectively for MOP and BA treated alfalfa. Similarly, acid detergent fiber (ADF) of leaves were 15.38% and 20.00%, ADF of stem were 39.31% and 39.34% respectively, while acid detergent lignin of leaves were 12.31% and 12.13%, respectively for MOP and BA. Yield and crude protein increased linearly with increasing rates of K2O with the maximum values obtained at 400 kg K2O per hectare. A second experiment was done to determine whether lime application will affect yield and quality of alfalfa when the optimum rate of BA at 400 kg/ha was used. The treatments comprised of four rates of lime: 0 (control), 1000, 2000 and 4000 kg/ha of GML. The initial acidity of the soil was 5.57. The hypothesis is that lime will not affect alfalfa growth as BA at 400 kg/ha is sufficient to increase pH to optimum level for alfalfa. Soil pH without lime application was raised to 6.05 and it increased linearly up to 7.76 at the highest rate of lime. There was no significant difference in soil pH between control and 1 tonne of lime in two months period of treatment. Dry matter yield, crude protein of leaf and stem, NDF, ADF, ADL, mineral K, P, Ca and Mg in both leaves and alfalfa stem increased with increasing lime applications. This shows that liming is beneficial even when BA is used at optimum level. In conclusion, BA can supply K to alfalfa and increase soil pH, but the use of lime with BA gave better performance of alfalfa than the use of BA alone.
Learning Psychology and Becoming Psychologists: Developing Professional Identity through Group Experiential Learning

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In this paper, we describe the advantages of an experiential training group, specifically conceived for psychology students, in which the goal was to activate reflection on the internalized social representations of professional identity. Our study showed the results of a pre-post comparison of a one-group intervention. It was aimed to demonstrate that group experiential learning is particularly useful in changing the basis of social representations and may contribute to the construction of a realistic image of both the profession and the professional identity. The research involved 88 students enrolled in a graduate program in clinical psychology. Before and after the experiential groups, students were asked to write a text starting from the prompt “becoming a psychologist.” These 176 texts provided the data used for this study. We carried out a text analysis using automatized software that provided hierarchical classification and factorial analysis of correspondences. The changes in the students’ representations of psychologists underline how participation in group experiential learning has allowed students to build a more realistic, less stereotypical and idealized vision of their future profession and created greater awareness of the limits of a training program based solely on the acquisition of theoretical notions. The data suggest the possibility of usefully practicing such learning activities in order to help students to reflect on their professional representations.
Age Dependent Concentration of 226Ra in Human Bone and Some Transfer Factors from Diet to Human Tissues

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The concentration of 226Ra in more than 1000 human bone samples, still born infants, fetuses, blood, mixed diet, drinking water and mineral water has been measured. An age dependence of 226Ra concentration in human bone could be demonstrated. Up to an age of 20 yr two maxima of 226Ra concentration in bone occur, coinciding with the increased velocity of skeleton growth. Normally, the main source for uptake of radium by man is food. In Germany the transfer factor from diet to bone is about 0.098. Compared with data from literature for other countries, mainly the U.S.A., the German value is higher by a factor of about 1.5. This difference may be due to the lower calcium uptake in Germany which leads to higher resorption of radium. Two methods for measuring natural radium concentrations in biological material and water samples are briefly described: a gamma-gamma-coincidence method for indirect measurement of 226Ra via the short lived 214Bi (RaC) and an alpha-spectrometric method for direct measurement of the alpha-emission of 226Ra.

ESG Rating Disagreement and Corporate Total Factor Productivity:Inference and Prediction

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper examines how ESG rating disagreement (Dis) affects corporate total factor productivity (TFP) in China based on data of A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2022. We find that Dis reduces TFP, especially in state-owned, non-capital-intensive, low-pollution and high-tech firms, green innovation strengthens the dampening effect of Dis on TFP, and that Dis lowers corporate TFP by increasing financing constraints and weakening human capital. Furthermore, XGBoost regression demonstrates that Dis plays a significant role in predicting TFP, with SHAP showing that the dampening effect of ESG rating disagreement on TFP is still pronounced in firms with large Dis values.
<b>Synthesis, characterization, thermal degradation and electrical conductivity of poly-4-[(pyridin-2-yl-imino)methyl]benzene-1,3-diol and polymer-metal complexes</b>

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Poly-4-[(pyridin-2-yl-imino)methyl]benzene-1,3-diol (P-4-PIMBD) was synthesized via the oxidative polycondensation reaction by using sodium hypo chloride (NaOCl) oxidant in an aqueous alkaline medium at 70 oC. The yield of the polymer was found to be 68 %. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by FT-IR, UV-Vis, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were characterized by TGA-DTA and solubility tests. 1H and 13C NMR data shows that the polymerization proceeded by the C-C coupling of ortho and para positions according to –OH groups of 4-[(pyridin-2-yl-imino)methyl]benzene-1,3-diol (4-PIMBD). According to size exclusion chromatography (SEC) measurements, the number-average molecular weight (Mn), weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersity index (PDI) values of P-4-PIMBD were found as 9400, 12800 g mol-1 and 1.362, respectively. The polymer-metal complex compounds were synthesized with acetates salts of Cd, Co, Cu, Zn and Ni. Thermal analyses of these metal-complex compounds investigated in N2 atmosphere between 15-1000 °C. Also, FT-IR spectra and electrical conductivities of polymer-metal complexes were measured by four-point technique.

Identification of a Variety of Staphylococcus Species by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Whole-cell fingerprinting by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in combination with a dedicated bioinformatic software tool (MALDI Biotyper 2.0) was used to identify 152 staphylococcal strains corresponding to 22 staphylococcal species. Spectra of the 152 isolates, previously identified at the species level using a sodA gene-based oligonucleotide array, were analyzed against the main spectra of 3,030 microorganisms. A total of 151 strains out of 152 (99.3%) were correctly identified at the species level; only one strain was identified at the genus level. The MALDI-TOF MS method revealed different clonal lineages of Staphylococcus epidermidis that were of either human or environmental origin, which suggests that the MALDI-TOF MS method could be useful in the profiling of staphylococcal strains. The topology of the dendrogram generated by the MALDI Biotyper 2.0 software from the spectra of 120 Staphylococcus reference strains (representing 36 species) was in general agreement with that inferred from the 16S rRNA gene-based analysis. Our findings indicate that the MALDI-TOF MS technology, associated with a broad-spectrum reference database, is an effective tool for the swift and reliable identification of Staphylococci .

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for a high mortality rate globally. Precision medicine has emerged as an essential tool for improving cardiovascular disease outcomes. In this context, using advanced imaging exams is fundamental in cardiovascular precision medicine, enabling more accurate diagnoses and customized treatments. This review aims to provide a concise review on how advanced cardiovascular imaging supports precision medicine, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and future directions. Methods A literature review was carried out using the Pubmed and Google Scholar databases, using search strategies that combined terms such as precision medicine, cardiovascular diseases, and imaging tests. Results More advanced analysis aimed at diagnosing and describing cardiovascular diseases in greater detail is made possible by tests such as cardiac computed tomography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and cardiac positron emission tomography. In addition, the aggregation of imaging data with other omics data allows for more personalized treatment and a better description of patient profiles. Conclusion The use of advanced imaging tests is essential in cardiovascular precision medicine. Although there are still technical and ethical obstacles, it is essential that there is collaboration between health professionals, as well as investments in technology and education to better disseminate cardiovascular precision medicine and consequently promote improved patient outcomes.
Media, pluralism and democracy: what’s in a name?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Media pluralism has become a buzzword in public, political, and academic discourses. However, it is generally unclear what is meant by referring to pluralistic media content or how pluralistic media should operate within democratic societies. The goal of this article is to distinguish between different conceptual and normative assumptions about media, pluralism, and democracy that demarcate the limits of analysis on media pluralism. Based on a discussion of three different schools of democracy with their corresponding media roles (the liberal, deliberative, and agonistic democracy schools), we derive two fault lines which allow us to distinguish four approaches to media pluralism. These approaches imply a different interpretation of its meaning and the standards by which it should be researched.
Tourist Experiences in Creative Cultural Attractions: A Demographic Perspective

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Creative tourism is one of the sectors that is predicted to grow significantly in the future. Saung Angklung Udjo (SAU) is a creative cultural attraction that presents various Sundanese cultural performances typical of West Java, Indonesia. This study aims to determine the differences in tourist experiences with cultural attractions from SAU based on demographic factors. The self-administered questionnaires were distributed directly to tourists who had watched Sundanese cultural performances at SAU. The data collected within a period of 31 days were 419 respondents. This number consists of local, domestic and international tourists. The data obtained in this study were processed using descriptive analysis, ANOVA and T-test to examine the difference of perception between the tourists. The results reveal that there is a difference of perception among tourists based on tourist education on escape, peace of mind, involvement and interactivity dimension. Moreover, there are differences in perceptions between tourists based on the origin of the region. The results of this study give an input for creative tourism industry companies in making marketing strategies based on an understanding of the tourist experience with the creative cultural attractions.
Flexible bronchoscopy as the first-choice method of removing foreign bodies from the airways of Children

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: The aspiration of foreign bodies into the airway (AFB) is an important cause of death in children worldwide. The incidence is higher in children aged 1-2 years. The presentation and severity depends in the degree of airway obstruction. In the event of a compatible clinical history, a bronchoscopy evaluation is needed. Methods: Retrospective study. Included pediatric patients who underwent bronchoscopy for removal of AFB at the Service of Respiratory Endoscopy in the period from January 2014 until June 2020. We reviewed medical and bronchoscopy records, collected information about the equipment used, foreign body location and nature, age, sex, success rate and complications. Results: 40 pediatric patients were treated. Children under 3 years accounted for 51% of cases with a peak incidence between 1 to 2 years accounting for 35.5% of cases. The majority of the removals were done by a flexible bronchoscopy (90%), using a basket (47,5%) or a rat tooth forceps (35%). The overall removal success rate was 100%. Complications occurred in 3 cases (7.5%). No deaths were reported. Discussion: The bronchoscopic removal of AFB in children is a complex and demanding procedure with a high potential for complications. Historically, rigid bronchoscopy has been the gold standard for the treatment of pediatric foreign body inhalation, but several authors have described flexible bronchoscopy as a diagnostic and therapeutic method for the removal of AFB. Our results show that, in most cases, flexible bronchoscopy is a safe and effective for the removal of AFB.

Majority of patients (44.5%) in TB group were in age group 10-30 while majority of patients (42%) in EPTB group were in age group 51-70. Males were seen more commonly affected. Majority (90%) of patients in EPTB group had pleural effusion. Majority of patients (71%) were smear positive by ZN staining in PTB group. Majority (90%) of PTB patients in smear negative group were BAL negative. In PTB group 8% were treatment failure while in EPTB group 2% were treatment failure. MDR was seen in 4.2% of total tuberculosis patient while XDR was seen in 0.32% of total patients. Out of treatment failure in PTB group MDR was seen in 64% followed by monoresistance to INH in 30% and XDR in 6%. In EPTB group MDR was seen in 100% of treatment failure. All patients with XDR died. Among the MDR patients majority are on treatment while 12% died, another 12% defaulter while 12% completed treatment.Conclusions: Among evaluated tuberculosis patients, maximum had PTB. Pleural tuberculosis was the most common presentation of EPTB. The study shows male preponderance in both groups. Treatment response was excellent with failure rate of 8% in PTB and 2% in EPTB. Most common cause of failure was MDR. XDR was seen in two patients and both of them died.
The collagenolytic activity of avian medullary bone: Effect of laying status and parathyroid extract

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

Synopsis The collagenolytic activity of avian medullary and cortical bone was measured by a sensitive technique employing a synthetic peptide as substrate. In all the groups considered medullary activity was greater than cortical activity. Birds which were calcifying an egg demonstrated significantly higher values of collagenolytic activity in both bone fractions as compared with non‐laying birds. Oestrogen and androgen administration significantly depressed activity. The response to PTE injection was an extremely rapid elevation in the level of activity followed by a period of 1 to 2 h during which the level was depressed.
Cytoskeletal Dynamics in Caenorhabditis elegans Axon Regeneration

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Axon regeneration after damage is widespread in the animal kingdom, and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has recently emerged as a tractable model in which to study the genetics and cell biology of axon regrowth in vivo. A key early step in axon regrowth is the conversion of part of a mature axon shaft into a growth cone–like structure, involving coordinated alterations in the microtubule, actin, and neurofilament systems. Recent attention has focused on microtubule dynamics as a determinant of axon-regrowth ability in several organisms. Live imaging studies have begun to reveal how the microtubule cytoskeleton is remodeled after axon injury, as well as the regulatory pathways involved. The dual leucine zipper kinase family of mixed-lineage kinases has emerged as a critical sensor of axon damage and plays a key role in regulating microtubule dynamics in the damaged axon.
