Adoption Factors and Implementation Strategies of on-Premise and Cloud Based ERP Systems by SMEs in Thailand

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract Over the past years, Thai small and medium enterprises (SME) had to deal with changing economic situations and had to adapt to new technological evolutions, representing new challenges as well as new opportunities for doing business. With the forthcoming ASEAN Economic Community 2015, Thai SMEs will face an increase in competition and, as a possible solution, may have to adopt new information systems to remain competitive. The objectives of this study are (1) to identify the factors facilitating or hindering the adoption of cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems by Thai SMEs and to (2) provide an analysis of the adoption and the implementation strategies. The research is based on a qualitative exploratory approach, relying on semistructured interviews with IT experts, IT managers and business owners to collect data, and on the template analysis method to analyze the data. Respondents have identified trust, cost control and the security of financial data as the most important factors for the adoption and selection of on-premise and cloud-based ERP systems. The adoption rate of cloud-based solutions appears to be low and local ERP providers face the challenge to discover the reasons why business owners do not adopt their solutions. First generation business owners prepare the transition to the next generation and want to better organize and structure how their businesses operates, but their own confidence in the technology still limit the adoption pace and the decision process. SMEs' strategies usually consist in a step-by-step implementation, consolidating the changes and readjusting the goals in case of setbacks, minimizing the consequences. ERP providers' strategies focus on new offerings with enhanced features and slowly integrate change management and extended support.

Aerobic training and hydroalcoholic extracts of green tea improve pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance and histopathological score in the N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced prostate cancer model of rat

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Green tea is a main resource for catechins. Catechins as antioxidant compounds reduce the production of reactive oxygen species and they have a protective role in the development of cancer. As well as, aerobic exercise change free radicals with two contradictory mechanisms. Aerobic training promotes excessive production of free radicals resulting in oxidative stress. In contrast, it increases the total antioxidant capacity. In this study, effect of aerobic training and hydroalcoholic extract of green tea (HEGT) on the pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and histopathological score of cancerous tissue in the N-methyl-N-nitrosourea–induced prostate cancer was investigated. A rat model of prostate cancer was induced by hormonal change and N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU). HEGT 0.1 % and 45 min of aerobic exercise in 5 days a week for eight weeks were scheduled. The presence of major catechins was approved using GC-MS. Histological study, PAB and PSA levels were used to monitor the preventive role of treatments. The prostate weights of cancerous rats were significantly higher than healthy controls (P<0.05). The PAB was only significantly higher in cancerous rats and cancerous rats receiving aerobic exercise (P<0.05). The mean of histological score of cancerous tissue was reduced in rat receiving HEGT and both HEGT and aerobic exercise. The amounts of PSA level did not significantly differ between the groups of this study (P>0.05). Our results provided laboratory and histological documentation for the preventive role of green tea extract in developing prostate cancer via its potential to re-establish the pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance.
Dynamic and steady state analysis of a three phase buck rectifier

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Current source rectifiers among other alternatives, offer several advantages over line commutated rectifiers. Advantages include displacement power factor control and reduced line current harmonic distortion. This paper analyzes the current source rectifier (CSR) in transient and steady state, the models are developed in a synchronous reference frame. The load behavior is characterized for two load conditions, resistive load or, in general, increasing current for increasing voltage, and constant output power, decreasing output current for increasing voltage. Constant power operation can occur for a converter system supplying a pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter with high dynamics. Several static converter characteristics such as power factor, real and reactive power are analyzed for both types of load. Transient characteristics are analyzed for both types of load by exact small-signal model with full set of equations.

Fight for Cancer Diseases using Natural Compounds and Their Semisynthetic Derivatives

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Cancer stands as one of the deadliest diseases afflicting contemporary human societies, encompassing over 100 distinct forms, including oral, salivary glands, oropharynx, nasopharynx, hypopharynx, colorectal, liver, pancreas, lung, skin, breast, cervix, ovary, prostate, kidney, brain, thyroid, and leukemia cancers. At the cellular level, the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells can disrupt the body's normal functions. Chemotherapy, a widely recognized cancer treatment, utilizes anticancer agents to target specific cancer cell lines effectively. Natural compounds are favored for their compatibility with the body, minimal harm to healthy cells, and easy extraction from natural sources. These natural compounds and their derivatives hold promise for cancer therapy, boasting diverse structural and pharmacological characteristics. Additionally, chemical modifications can enhance their anticancer properties. This review explores the anticancer potential of terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, xanthones, and epoxides, as well as elucidates their molecular mechanisms, such as their antiproliferative, apoptotic, antiangiogenic, and antimetastatic actions. Furthermore, the effect of the functional group on the anticancer activity through the structure-activity relationship will be discussed in detail, supported by molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations. Combining experimental in vitro and in vivo assays with computational in silico assays significantly helps us understand how we shall fight cancer diseases in the modern era.
Smyrna Agorası Mozaikli Yapı Mozaikleri

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

It is envisaged that the Mosaic Building, which is adjacent to the west side of the Agora, has been designed and built at the same time with the Bouleuterion. The plan of the building, which is of 15 meters length and 25 meters width as of today, consists of five galleries extending in the north-south direction. It is confirmed that the building was damaged after a fire and therefore a second layer of mosaics must be replaced just onto the first mosaic floor. The first mosaic floor, which is dated as the end of the 2nd or the beginning of the 3th century A.D., is composed of panels made up of circles linked to each other by lines. The second layer of mosaics consists of circular or rectangular panels placed in the north-south direction. Different geometric shapes or floral decorations exist in the center of the panels. It is envisaged that the second layer of mosaics was built in the 4th century A.D. There is limited data about the function of the building with a basilical plan. Nonetheless it is thought that the mosaic building shared some of Bouleuterion political and administrative functions

Barriers to healthcare seeking among medical students: a cross sectional study from South India

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Objective To determine the barriers to seeking help from healthcare services reported by medical students at an Indian medical school, and to compare the barriers for using physical health services with those for using mental health services. Methods In 2014, we invited all medical students across the nine semesters of training at a government medical college in Puducherry, India, to complete a 28 item questionnaire about perceived barriers to seeking healthcare services. The questionnaire enquired about barriers to using physical and mental healthcare services separately. Results Completed responses were available from 461 of 509 students (response rate 90.6%). Stigma, confidentiality issues, lack of awareness about where to seek help and fear of unwanted intervention were more commonly reported for mental healthcare seeking (OR 4.21, 4.01, 3.19 and 2.43, respectively), while issues relating to cost, lack of time and fear of side effects were observed less frequently (OR 0.45, 0.46 and 0.57, respectively) compared with physical healthcare seeking. In comparison with physical health, students were more indifferent to their mental health issues and preferred self-diagnosis and informal consultations over formal documented care. Conclusions Barriers to seeking healthcare services differ for mental and physical health issues. Many system based barriers such as stigma, confidentiality issues and poor awareness of service location were reported by students. Institutional programmes should use this information for improving the usage, satisfaction and effectiveness of healthcare delivery systems for medical students.
Mapping the UK thesis landscape: Phase 1 project report for Unlocking Thesis Data

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This report details the work (April-July 2015) of Unlocking Thesis Data, where the project carried out a survey of EThOS institutions, interviewed staff at six universities for more in-depth case studies, and synthesised the findings. Overall, there is much appetite for applying DOIs to theses and their data (which includes datasets, software components and other non-textual supplementary files) and ORCiDs to research students. Glasgow, Southampton and East London universities each minted a DOI for an existing thesis, demonstrating the viability of our intent, but the case studies showed there are constraints in both processes and technologies to be addressed before persistent identifiers (PID) for theses can be a nationwide reality in the UK. The project makes five recommendations for further work in a second phase: 1. Hold at least three thesis “clinics” to investigate opportunities and barriers to assigning DOI and ORCiD identifiers in UK universities 2. Engage with system suppliers/vendors to identify opportunities for enhancing software with required PIDs 3. Consult with EThOS formally to understand what needs to change in EThOS systems and processes to harvest and display PIDs and related metadata for theses and their data 4. Evaluate approaches to updating UKETD profile, initially in EPrints, before planning software enhancements 5. Investigate requirements and solutions for those institutions that use EThOS as their first-point repository.
Position control of linear induction motor using cascaded sliding mode controller

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper studies position control of a linear induction motor drive using three cascaded sliding mode controllers. First, the indirect field oriented control of the LIMs is derived, and then cascaded sliding mode controllers design for indirect field oriented control is applied to compensate the uncertainties, which occur with conventional control techniques. The performance of the LIM drive is investigated for cascaded sliding mode controllers of position, speed, and primary current. The effectiveness of the proposed cascaded sliding mode controllers is verified by simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The performance of the proposed controller is compared with conventional PI-controller at different operating conditions.
Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of [3H]HS665, a Novel, Highly Selective Radioligand for the Kappa Opioid Receptor

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Herein we report the radiolabeling and pharmacological investigation of a novel radioligand, the N-cyclobutylmethyl substituted diphenethylamine [(3)H]HS665, designed to bind selectively to the kappa opioid peptide (KOP) receptor, a target of therapeutic interest for the treatment of a variety of human disorders (i.e., pain, affective disorders, drug addiction, and psychotic disorders). HS665 was prepared in tritium-labeled form by a dehalotritiated method resulting in a specific activity of 30.65 Ci/mmol. Radioligand binding studies were performed to establish binding properties of [(3)H]HS665 to the recombinant human KOP receptor in membranes from Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing human KOP receptors (CHOhKOP) and to the native neuronal KOP receptor in guinea pig brain membranes. Binding of [(3)H]HS665 was specific and saturable in both tissue preparations. A single population of high affinity binding sites was labeled by [(3)H]HS665 in membranes from CHOhKOP cells and guinea pig brain with similar equilibrium dissociation constants, Kd, 0.45 and 0.64 nM, respectively. Average receptor density of [(3)H]HS665 recognition sites were 5564 and 154 fmol/mg protein in CHOhKOP cells and guinea pig brain, respectively. This study shows that the new radioligand distinguishes and labels KOP receptors specifically in neuronal and cellular systems expressing KOP receptors, making this molecule a valuable tool in probing structural and functional mechanisms governing ligand-KOP receptor interactions in both a recombinant and native in vitro setting.
Antibiotic Korormicin A Kills Bacteria by Producing Reactive Oxygen Species

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

As multidrug antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria continues to rise, there is a critical need for novel antimicrobial agents. An essential requirement for a useful antibiotic is that it selectively targets bacteria without significant effects on the eukaryotic hosts. Korormicin is an excellent candidate in this respect because it targets a unique respiratory enzyme found only in prokaryotes, the Na + -pumping NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Na + -NQR). Korormicin is synthesized by some species of the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas and is a potent and specific inhibitor of Na + -NQR, an enzyme that is essential for the survival and proliferation of many Gram-negative human pathogens, including Vibrio cholerae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa , among others. Here, we identified how korormicin selectively kills these bacteria. The binding of korormicin to Na + -NQR promotes the formation of reactive oxygen species generated by the reaction of the FAD and the 2Fe-2S center cofactors with O 2 .
S2203 A Rare Case of Amyloid-Induced Colonic Pseudo-Obstruction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Colonic pseudo-obstruction is a rare complication of AL Amyloidosis that is described as a diffuse colonic dilation without underlying mechanical cause. In AL Amyloidosis, extracellular protein deposits disrupt tissue structure and function. Manifestations of colonic involvement of AL Amyloidosis include chronic diarrhea, weight loss, abdominal pain, and pseudo-obstruction. Here we present a patient with worsening abdominal pain and distention, found to have colonic pseudo-obstruction likely from AL Amyloidosis. Her symptoms improved with colonic decompression and with the utility of prokinetic agents. Case Description/Methods: A 79-year-old female presented with 3 days of progressively worsening abdominal pain and distention, with associated constipation. Her past medical history was significant for anemia, AL-Amyloidosis diagnosed 4 months prior to arrival, and PEG placement 3 weeks prior to arrival due to worsening dysphagia secondary to macroglossia. Vital signs were normal. She did not appear in acute distress and was hemodynamically stable. Pertinent examination findings included abdominal distention, decreased bowel sounds, and diffuse abdominal tenderness. Pertinent labs included WBC 5.6 k/uL, albumin 2.1 g/dL, AST 39 U/L, ALT 43 U/L, ALP 196 U/L, and total bilirubin 0.3 mg/dL. Clostridium difficile, giardia lamblia, salmonella, and stool occult blood were negative. CT abdomen and pelvis revealed gaseous distention of the transverse colon and diffuse colonic wall thickening, as displayed in figure 1. Colonoscopy revealed diffuse dilation of the transverse colon, with components of inflammation including friability and loss of vascularity. Decompression was successfully performed through the colonoscope. The patient tolerated the procedure well and had marked improvement of abdominal distention and pain. Her percutaneous tube feeds were reinitiated and tolerated well. (Figure) Discussion: Colonic pseudo-obstruction is a rare complication of AL Amyloidosis that is caused by deposits of protein in extracellular tissue. AL Amyloidosis is a multisystem disease that rarely presents with colonic manifestations. However, colonic manifestations may be the sole presentation of AL Amyloidosis. Colonic pseudo-obstruction remains a clinical challenge and can lead to bacterial overgrowth and malnutrition. Here we demonstrate successful air decompression of a colonic pseudo-obstruction due to AL Amyloidosis. We hope to increase awareness of AL Amyloidosis as an etiology colonic pseudo-obstruction.Figure 1.: CT Abdomen Pelvis reveals diffuse gaseous distention of the transverse colon with bowel wall thickening.
Do psyhiatric out-patients take their drugs?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

It is common clinical experience that there are patients who do not take the drugs prescribed for them. Less is known of the frequency with which this occurs, but a number of studies have indicated that the failure rate may be surprisingly high?up to 50% (Benstead and Theobald, 1952 ; Haler, 1952 ; Mohler et al, 1955 ; Simpson, 1956 ; Dixon et al., 1957 ; Luntz and Austin, 1960). The present study was undertaken to determine the propor tion of psychiatric out-patients who do not take their drugs, and to examine some factors possibly associated with this.
Faculty Opinions recommendation of Bone microenvironment specific roles of ITAM adapter signaling during bone remodeling induced by acute estrogen-deficiency.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) signaling mediated by DAP12 or Fcepsilon receptor Igamma chain (FcRgamma) have been shown to be critical for osteoclast differentiation and maturation under normal physiological conditions. Their function in pathological conditions is unknown. We studied the role of ITAM signaling during rapid bone remodeling induced by acute estrogen-deficiency in wild-type (WT), DAP12-deficient (DAP12-/-), FcRgamma-deficient (FcRgamma-/-) and double-deficient (DAP12-/-FcRgamma-/-) mice. Six weeks after ovariectomy (OVX), DAP12-/-FcRgamma-/- mice showed resistance to lumbar vertebral body (LVB) trabecular bone loss, while WT, DAP12-/- and FcRgamma-/- mice had significant LVB bone loss. In contrast, all ITAM adapter-deficient mice responded to OVX with bone loss in both femur and tibia of approximately 40%, relative to basal bone volumes. Only WT mice developed significant cortical bone loss after OVX. In vitro studies showed microenvironmental changes induced by OVX are indispensable for enhanced osteoclast formation and function. Cytokine changes, including TGFbeta and TNFalpha, were able to induce osteoclastogenesis independent of RANKL in BMMs from WT but not DAP12-/- and DAP12-/-FcRgamma-/- mice. FSH stimulated RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation from BMMs in WT, but not DAP12-/- and DAP12-/-FcRgamma-/- mice. Our study demonstrates that although ITAM adapter signaling is critical for normal bone remodeling, estrogen-deficiency induces an ITAM adapter-independent bypass mechanism allowing for enhanced osteoclastogenesis and activation in specific bony microenvironments.
