The role of university switching costs, perceived service quality, perceived university image and student satisfaction in shaping student loyalty

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

While majority of earlier studies have examined service quality, student satisfaction, and university image as determinants of student loyalty, university switching costs have largely been ignored. This study includes university switching costs with perceived service quality (perceived academic quality, perceived administrative quality, and perceived physical facilities), student satisfaction, and perceived university image as determinants of student loyalty. Data was gathered through purposively sampling undergraduate business students from five universities in Karachi. Using exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling, a significant impact of student satisfaction, university image, and university switching costs on student loyalty was established. Universities may provide monetary and non-monetary incentives to increase university switching costs and, consequently, help retain students. This study contributes to student loyalty literature by adapting the customer loyalty definition to educational context, examining the role of university switching costs in retaining students, and presenting an empirical model depicting interrelations among determinants of student loyalty.

Deferred and Immediate Indefeasibility: Bijural Ambiguity in Registered Land Title Systems

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Most countries now have land registration systems, based either upon deeds registration or, more commonly, on title registration. Since there are many variants of each system, commentators often prefer to employ Norman's distinction between positive and negative systems of land registration. On this terminology, a positive system is one in which the state warrants that the rights shown on the register are valid and effective according to their terms. This is an authoritative system, a register of conclusions, which allows purchasers to transact safely in reliance on the registered title even if it turns out to have been procured by defective means. In a negative system, registration does not confer or guarantee title, with the result that purchasers must examine the deeds and draw their own conclusions. The positive system is the most essential feature that distinguishes a system of registered title from one of deeds registration. The issue for all systems of registered title is how to deal with bijural inaccuracies. Statutes based on the UK or the Australian Torrens models adopt divergent approaches to this problem. The UK model provides a remedy of rectification whereby a court or the registrar may alter the register to correct an entry that was void under the ordinary rules. This may be moulded to protect 6the rights of certain registered owners, such as proprietors in possession of the land who have not caused or substantially contributed to the mistake by their fraud or carelessness.
Rapid Assessment of Mitochondrial Complex I Activity and Metabolic Phenotyping of Breast Cancer Cells by NAD(p)H Cytometry

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

Abstract Cancer cells are known to display a variety of metabolic reprogramming strategies to fulfill their own growth and proliferative agenda. With the advent of high resolution imaging strategies, metabolomics techniques, and so forth, there is an increasing appreciation of critical role that tumor cell metabolism plays in the overall breast cancer (BC) growth. In this report, we demonstrate a sensitive, flow‐cytometry‐based assay for rapidly assessing the metabolic phenotypes in isolated suspensions of breast cancer cells. By measuring the temporal variation of NAD(p)H signals in unlabeled, living cancer cells, and by measuring mitochondrial membrane potential {Δψ m } in fluorescently labeled cells, we demonstrate that these signals can reliably distinguish the metabolic phenotype of human breast cancer cells and can track the cellular sensitivity to drug candidates. We further show the utility of this metabolic ratio {Δψ m /NAD(p)H} in monitoring mitochondrial functional improvement as well as metabolic heterogeneity in primary murine tumor cells isolated from tumor biopsies. Together, these results demonstrate a novel possibility for rapid metabolic functional screening applications as well as a metabolic phenotyping tool for determining drug sensitivity in living cancer cells. © 2018 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry

Effect of Certain Pesticides on Spore Germination and Mycelial Growth of the Entomogenous Fungus Aschersonia aleyrodis

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The entomogenous fungus Aschersonia aleyrodis is a promising whitefly and scale insect control agent. Six widely used pesticides were assessed at the recommended concentrations for compatibility in vitro with A. aleyrodis. The effects of these pesticides on spore germination (during )the whole test periods (12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 h) and mycelial growth after 5 days of (incubation) at 25℃ were quantified. Generally, fenpropathrin and propargite had pronounced (adverse) effects on the fungus. These two pesticides either heavily impaired the development of the fungus or strongly inhibited its spore germination at 25℃ and resulted in fungistasis,which indicated that they were mostly incompatible. Imidacloprid, isocarbophos and amitraz had a (stimulating) effect on spore germination and the latter two showed a reversible inhibitory effect on the growth of fungus in the tests. However, carbendazim conducted a temporary stimulatory (performance) on spore germination but performed an inhibitory influence on hyphal development.

Association of serum uric acid with right cardiac chamber remodeling assessed by CMR-feature tracking in patients with connective tissue disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Motivation: To explore a common and low-cost indicator in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) to determine the subclinical right cardiac chamber remodelingGoal(s): Investigated the association of Serum uric acid (SUA) with right cardiac chamber remodeling assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance feature-tracking (CMR-FT) in CTD patients. Approach: All individuals underwent CMR examinations and their SUA levels were recorded. CMR-FT was used to evaluate the right atrial and ventricular strain parameters. Results: CTD patients had significantly right cardiac chamber remodeling and elevated SUA levels compared with controls. SUA may be a potential risk factor of right cardiac chamber remodeling in CTD patients. Impact: Right heart remodeling is widespread in CTD patients. SUA is considered a potential independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and elevated SUA levels are often observed in CTD patients.

Statistically significant differences were found between Erbil city and Koy-Sanjaq city; between Shaqlawa city and Koy-Sanjaq city concerning mothers’ practices respectively, with non-statistically differences between Erbil and Shaqlawa mothers, also non-statistically significant differences between mothers’ practices in Erbil and Shaqlawa city. There are statistically differences between mothers in Erbil, Koy-Sanjaq, and between Erbil and Shaqlawa with no statistical difference between Koy-Sanjaq and Shaqlawa mothers regarding knowledge. Conclusions: The mothers in Shaqlawa city had better knowledge and all three districts were having poor practices regarding colostrum feeding.
Use of yacon in the technology of bread of graded wheat flour

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Expanding the range of raw ingredients with high concentration of nutrients that are deficient in the diets of the population is in line with modern trends in the field of healthy nutrition. These raw materials include yacon, which is known for its high inulin content, which, during storage or hydrolytic cleavage, is converted to fructose and other compounds in the form of fructans. The rationale for the choice of recipe composition of bread from graded wheat flour with the addition of yacon powder was carried out according to the results of studying the dynamics of the biotechnological characteristics of the dough and the quality of finished products. As it was shown by the results of the study, the introduction of 3.5% by weight of flour of powdered semi-finished product from yacon into the recipe composition improves the texture, taste, and aroma of bread made from graded wheat flour. 7% addition equates the sample to the control in terms of the structure of porosity, volume and shape, but darkens the crumb and makes the color of the crust more pronounced. 10.5% addition of yacon powder leads to the decrease in the sensory perception of bread
Global effects of tree planting on soil fauna communities depend on former ecosystem types

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Tree planting is widely recognized as an effective strategy for enhancing terrestrial carbon sequestration, playing a crucial role in mitigating global climate change. However, our understanding of how it may affect soil fauna communities still remains scarce. Here, we performed a global scale meta-analysis with 14281 paired observations to evaluate tree planting effects on soil fauna abundance, biomass, and diversity across multiple former ecosystem types. Results suggested that (1) tree planting had limited overall effects on soil fauna communities, only increasing Acari abundance, Protozoa abundance, and Arthropod biomass by 36.9, 56.9, and 777.3%, respectively, and decreasing the taxonomic richness of Collembola, the Pielou index of earthworm, and the Simpson index of Protozoa by 17.9, 38.7, and 77.1%, respectively; (2) afforestation in non-forest lands showed strong positive effects on soil fauna abundance and diversity, especially in deserts where the abundance and Shannon-Wiener index of total soil fauna were increased by 92.5 and 65.8%, respectively, while reforestation in former forest lands generally had negative impacts; and (3) tree planting effects on soil fauna were controlled by stand characteristics (e.g. stand age, canopy density, tree diameter) and pre-planting soil properties (e.g. bulk density, pH, carbon, nitrogen), but not by tree species type (leaf type or mycorrhizal association). These results clearly show the contrasting effects of tree planting on soil fauna communities among different former ecosystem types, highlighting the importance of considering the legacy of former ecosystems when designing tree planting policies to restore/enhance carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation under global environmental change scenarios.
Assessing the impact of the European resilience curriculum in preschool, early and late primary school children

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Resilience is an individual’s ability to adapt successfully to and persevere during and after significant challenges. Resilience programmes based on a socioemotional learning approach have been associated with an increase in protextive factors (e.g., prosocial competencies), improvements in physical and mental health, and a decrease in internalised and externalised symptoms. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of the RESCUR curriculum implemented in Portuguese schools on students’ academic, behavioural, and socioemotional outcomes, based on child and teacher reports. Participants included 1,084 children (53.2% male) aged 3-15 ( M = 7.24, SD = 2.31). A quasi-experimental study compared outcomes for an experimental intervention group (AIG) with a waiting list control group (WG). The results showed the RESCUR programme decreased mental health difficulties while increasing both prosocial behaviours and well-being. In addition, academic performance increased for those in preschool after implementation. Both teachers and children consistently reported positive behavioural changes in resilience-related competencies after implementing RESCUR. Our findings contribute to the recent research on the potential of RESCUR to address key socioemotional competencies and improve relevant protextive factors. Study limitations and future recommendations are addressed.

A framework for multiscale and hybrid RKHS-based approximators

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

A generalized framework for deriving multiscale and hybrid functionally expanded approximators that are linear in the adjustable weights is presented. The basic idea here is to define one or more appropriate function spaces and then to impose a geometric structure on these to obtain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs). The weight identification problem is formulated as a minimum norm optimization problem that produces an approximation network structure that comprises a linear weighted sum of displaced reproducing kernels fed by the input signals. Examples of the application of this framework are discussed. Results of numerical experiments are presented.

The US and the UN in Haiti: The Limits of Intervention

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Raoul Cedras allowed the multinational intervention force peacefully ashore and relinquished power to the country's elected leader, President Jean Bertrand Aristide. The creation of a police force was part of the UN mandate for the intervention, so a civilian police element, called civilian police, was part of the civilian structure of United Nations Mission In Haiti. Operations such as the intervention in Haiti differ from conventional military operations in that the desired end state is a political condition, rather than a success defined as military victory. The cause of unity on the military side was aided by the unique dual status of the Force Commander as commander of both US and UN forces in Haiti. Legitimacy, defined as the willing acceptance of and support to political authority is the single most important dimension of the model in cases such as Haiti.
Discarding Sympathy, Disrupting Catharsis: The Mortification of Indigenous Flesh as Survivance-Intervention

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This essay feels its way through several incarnations of publically performed grief in the territories now known as Canada. In each, the Indigenous “actors” of these territories feature prominently, and the wounding of these individuals and their communities is addressed, presented, intervened upon, and “reviewed” in private living rooms, in public media, and on social-media sites. Through this exercise the essay attempts to discover the mechanics and affect of those “productions” that solicit and elicit a sympathetic response from their witnesses, and to weigh these against performative interventions that reject the sympathetic response and demand from their witnesses’ empathic, effective action to engender social transformation. The examination begins with the production of truth, the performance of sympathy, and the promise of reconciliation on Canada’s national stage; it then looks to public spaces of private mourning on the municipal stage. And it visits, at last, the professional stages of contemporary performance whereupon Native artists, eschewing the narratives of victimization, artfully intervene upon the spaces of Indigenous wounding, as they reconfigure our Nations’ mourning songs into anthems of Indigenous sovereignty and reveal the “sympathy” of the settler-witness to be irrelevant, unseemly, and perhaps even dangerous.
Abstract P678: Elevated Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio Associated With Increased Risk of Recurrent Vascular Events in Older Minor Stroke or TIA Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: The risk of recurrent stroke following a minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) is high, when inflammation might play an important role. We aimed to evaluate the value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting composite cardiovascular events in patients with minor stroke and TIA. Methods: Consecutive patients with acute minor stroke or TIA admitted within 24 hours of symptoms onset during a 5-year period in a prospective stroke registry were analyzed. We calculated the NLR dividing absolute neutrophil count by absolute lymphocyte count tested within 24 hours of admission. NLR ≥ 4th quartile was defined as high NLR. A composite outcome was defined as ischemic stroke, acute coronary syndrome or vascular death within 1 year. We investigated associations between NLR and the composite outcome in univariate and multivariate analyses, among all patients and in those aged over 60 years (i.e., older patients). Results: Overall, 841 patients (median age 68 years; 60.4% males) were recruited. No significant independent association was found between NLR and the composite outcome in multivariate analysis in the overall cohort. Among the 612 older patients (median age 73 years; 59.2% males), the median NLR was 2.76 (interquartile range 1.96-4.00) and 148 (24.2%) patients had high NLR. The composite outcome occurred in 77 (12.6%) older patients, who were more likely to have a high NLR (39.0% versus 22.1%; p=0.001) than those without a composite outcome. In multivariate logistic regression, high NLR (adjusted odds ratio 2.00; 95% confidence interval 1.07-3.75; p=0.031) was independently associated with the composite outcome in older patients. Conclusions: In older patients with acute minor stroke or TIA, a higher NLR is an independent predictor of subsequent cardiovascular events, indicating inflammation as an important factor and potential therapeutic target for secondary prevention of such patients.
Endocrine Regulation of Epimorphic Regeneration

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

Abstract Studies aiming to uncover primary mechanisms of regeneration have predominantly focused on genetic pathways regulating specific stages in the regeneration process: wound healing, blastema formation, and pattern formation. However, studies across organisms show that environmental conditions and the physiological state of the animal can affect the rate or quality of regeneration, and endocrine signals are likely the mediators of these effects. Endocrine signals acting directly on receptors expressed in the tissue or via neuroendocrine pathways can affect regeneration by regulating the immune response to injury, allocation of energetic resources, or by enhancing or inhibiting proliferation and differentiation pathways involved in regeneration. This review discusses the cumulative knowledge in the literature about endocrine regulation of regeneration and its importance in future research to advance biomedical research.
Nucleic Acid and Protein Single Molecule Detection and Characterization

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

Single molecule research is progressing from pure single molecule detection (SMD), for example, by scanning microscopy or by high-resolution spectroscopy, toward true single molecule chemistry, biochemistry, or molecular biology. The last few years have seen a shift from small chromophores to (biological) macromolecules. Individual protein molecules vary in structural detail and thus may have different functional properties, even if they are, in bulk, assumed to represent the same protein. The molecule with the most pronounced individuality, however, is DNA. Theoretically, one would need oligonucleotides only 17 bp in length to assign an own sequence to each human individual. The human genome has a length of 3 billion base pairs. Such an essentially infinite variability can only be studied on a single molecule basis. Therefore, the present review article tries to give an overview on techniques for studying biophysics and biochemistry of proteins (in Sect. 3) and DNA (in Sect. 4) without aiming to be comprehensive. In most cases, recent examples of work from representative author groups are given. Patch clamp studies, for which Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann won the 1991 Nobel prize, will not be treated in the present overview since this field would justify a separate review.
