The effects of relational benefits on customers&apos; perception of favorable inequity, affective commitment, and repurchase intention in full-service restaurants

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study is to investigate how relational benefits (including confidence benefits, social benefits, and special treatment benefits) affect customers ’ perceptions of favorable inequity and affective commitment, and thus ultimately affect customer reten-tion. The study first develops and presents a conceptual model of the relationships that exist between the constructs of “relational benefits, ” “favorable inequity, ” “affective commitment, ” and “repurchase intention. ” This model is then empirically tested using 411 sample long-term customers of full-service restaurants. The results indicate that relational benefits trigger customers ’ perceptions of being favorably treated and that these perceptions, in turn, induce customers to form an affective commitment and repur-chase intention with respect to particular restaurants. The study confirms the strategic importance of relational benefits in fostering relationships with long-term customers in the context of full-service restaurants.

Review on RCT Research Papers Related Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy - Focusing on Acupoint Treatment -

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives: To observe randomized controlled trials(RCTs) related to investigating the effects of acupoint treatments on nausea and vomiting in pregnancy to establish the basis of korean medical treatments, and suggest the problems of future clinical research. Methods: After searching for national and international papers published after 2000 and restricting the parameters to 'clinical trial', 'controlled clinical trial', 'randomized controlled trial', then comparing the subjects, methods, research tools, and results to understand the effects and re-comparing the conflicting results to assume the cause. Results: Of the 9 research papers that applied acupressure, four of them used control and experimental groups, and three(75%) research papers indicated significant reduction in vomiting and nausea, and of the seven research papers that utilized the experimental and placebo groups, five(71.4%) reported significant reducing effects. Of the four research papers the used acupuncture treatments, four research papers using control and placebo groups, two showed improvements in symptoms but did not have significant results compared to sham acupuncture groups, and two showed significant reduction of symptoms compared to the control groups. The one research paper that used electrical stimulation showed significant results in the reduction of vomiting and nausea compared to the control group. Conclusions: Acupressure and electrical stimulation showed efficacy reducing the symptoms. Acupuncture treatments did not indicate efficacy some experiments. Therefore it is thought that future acupuncture treatments should use methods that resemble actual clinical medicine to establish efficacy to produce significant results.
Metformin prevents age-associated ovarian fibrosis by modulating the immune landscape in female mice

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Ovarian fibrosis is a pathological condition associated with aging and is responsible for a variety of ovarian dysfunctions. Given the known contributions of tissue fibrosis to tumorigenesis, it is anticipated that ovarian fibrosis may contribute to ovarian cancer risk. We recently reported that diabetic postmenopausal women using metformin had ovarian collagen abundance and organization that were similar to premenopausal ovaries from nondiabetic women. In this study, we investigated the effects of aging and metformin on mouse ovarian fibrosis at a single-cell level. We discovered that metformin treatment prevented age-associated ovarian fibrosis by modulating the proportion of fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, and immune cells. Senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)–producing fibroblasts increased in aged ovaries, and a unique metformin-responsive subpopulation of macrophages emerged in aged mice treated with metformin. The results demonstrate that metformin can modulate specific populations of immune cells and fibroblasts to prevent age-associated ovarian fibrosis and offers a new strategy to prevent ovarian fibrosis.
Prolonged Grief in African contexts: Scale validation, prevalence rates and risk factors among young adults in Kenya, Namibia, and South Africa

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Although grief is a universal part of the human experience, for some it may become a debilitating mental health disorder. Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) has recently been included in diagnostic guidelines worldwide, but there is little research on global applicability. This is the first study to examine PGD rates, risk factors and psychometric validity of the international prolonged grief disorder scale (IPGDS) concurrently across multiple African countries. It is also the first study to examine probable PGD in young adults anywhere, and importantly, in a context where bereavement is often experienced earlier and more often. Psychometric validity and reliability of the IPGDS was confirmed and exploratory factor analysis supported a one factor structure. Despite significantly higher exposure to loss and death than in the Western samples, prevalence rates for probable PGD were similar (Kenya 9.63%, South Africa 6.85%, and Namibia, 5.34%, vs. global average of 9.8%). Risk factors identified in all three samples include a close relationship to the deceased and a violent death. Gender differences were seen in Kenya and Namibia, with higher rates of probable PGD for women. Financial difficulties increased disorder-level risk in Kenya and South Africa. Overall, results suggest the presence of protective factors, perhaps related to high religiosity and traditional practices.
Some issues relevant to propagation of lightwave signals in optical fibers

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Fiber optics is a promising technology that can enable the high bit rates and long spans that are on increasing demand. Although the fiber bandwidth is as large as several terahertz, there are several phenomena, related to both intrinsic fiber properties and characteristics of the state-of-the-art transmitters and receivers, which seriously degrade the performance of fiber communication systems, imposing limits on the transmission bandwidths and distances that can be achieved.

In this thesis, some of the issues affecting linear and nonlinear propagation in optical fiber will be theoretically and experimentally studied. Schemes for compensation of some of these phenomena or amelioration of their effects will be presented.
European Union telecommunications law reform and combating online non-commercial infringements of copyright: seeing through the legal fog.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Discusses why the EU's reform of its regulatory framework on telecommunications encompassed copyright enforcement for online infringements, and reviews key features of the "internet freedom provision" to be inserted into Directive 2002/21, including whether it extends the competence of the EU beyond that authorised by the EC Treaty. Assesses whether the provision should have been introduced via the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union art.114 or by Directive 2000/31, and considers its compatibility with the Digital Economy Act 2010.
Visual Logging for Inspection and Troubleshooting

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT The waterwell industry has been using submergible television cameras for years to aid them in casing inspections and troubleshooting wells. Their success ratio has been outstanding but the oil industry and others have only had limited success. The reason is usually the lack of clarity in the drilling or work-over fluid. Displacement of these fluids is generally affected by fluid density, fluid velocity, temperature and the size pipe in which the displacement is being made. This large number of variables indirectly affects water clarity in that you must displace the dirty drilling or completion fluid before a television camera can be used. Field tests have been conducted on the effects of these variables and the results offer suggestions for the solution of these associated problems. Downhole pictures are presented showing the effects of the aforementioned variables as well as unique failures of casing and the positions of various types of lost equipment. Some open hole logging is also presented.
Ultrasound Guidance Improves the Success of Sciatic Nerve Block at the Popliteal Fossa

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background and Objectives: Real time ultrasound guidance is a recent development in the area of peripheral nerve blockade. There are limited data from prospective randomized trials comparing its efficacy to that of traditional nerve localization techniques. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that ultrasound guidance improves the success rate of sciatic nerve block at the popliteal fossa when compared with a nerve stimulator-guided technique. Methods: After Institutional Research Ethics Board approval and informed consent, 74 patients undergoing elective major foot or ankle surgery were randomly assigned to receive a sciatic nerve block at the popliteal fossa guided by either ultrasonography (group US, transverse view, needle in plane approach above the sciatic nerve bifurcation), or nerve stimulation (group NS, single injection, 10 cm proximal to the knee crease). A standardized local anesthetic admixture (15 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine and 15 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine) was used. Sensory and motor function was assessed by a blinded observer at predetermined intervals for up to 1 hour. Block success was defined as a loss of sensation to pinprick within 30 minutes in the distribution of both tibial and common peroneal nerves. Results: Group US had a significantly higher block success rate than group NS (89.2% vs. 60.6%, P = .005), while the procedure time was similar. Conclusions: Ultrasound guidance enhances the quality of popliteal sciatic nerve block compared with single injection, nerve stimulator-guided block using either a tibial or peroneal endpoint. Ultrasound guidance resulted in higher success, faster onset, and progression of sensorimotor block, without an increase in block procedure time, or complications.
The road to internet banking: understanding emerging customer issues

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

\n\t\t\t\t\tThis paper presents findings from an empirical study of banking customer experiences with the adoption of Internet banking. Using a qualitative, interpretive grounded theory approach and single and group interviews, the study explores customer perceptions and experiences and provides an understanding of how and why specific factors affect their decision whether or not to bank on the Internet in the current era. The findings are used to develop a theoretical framework which conceptualizes and links consumer issues influencing the adoption of this application, and we also provide a set of recommendations for banks. Specifically, the findings suggest that convenience &ndash; in particular, time savings &ndash; is the major motivator to bank on the Internet, while there are a range of other influential factors which could be modulated by banks. The results also highlight increasing online risk acceptance by customers and the growing importance of deep levels of customer support for online services. Key gender differences in attitudes to Internet banking are highlighted. This study suggests that organizations will improve their management of customer attitudes to new Internet service applications by understanding the need to proactively address customer fears and misconceptions about the technologies involved.<br />\n\t\t\t\t
Contemporary Anti-Colonial Self-Determination Claims and the Decolonisation of International Law

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The most prominent engagement of self-determination was in the decolonisation era, when the right facilitated the emergence to independence of formerly colonised ‘peoples’. The newly decolonised states met the ‘salt-water’ test of colonialism. Some contemporary commentators argue that self-determination’s mission of decolonisation is now complete. Self-determination is less frequently asserted today; however, contemporary ‘hard cases’ remain. Some of these cases involve peoples who can demonstrate a continuing colonial experience. For varying reasons, these claimants do not pass the ‘salt-water’ colonial test, and their claims have not adequately been addressed by the international community. Instead, claimant groups are abandoned to the political whims of their administering states. This article examines the significance of the colonial experience for two contemporary claimant peoples; Indigenous peoples in Australia and Irish nationalists in the North of Ireland. Data gathered through qualitative research interviews, and analysed according to a grounded theory approach, demonstrate that the self-determination claims of these peoples are stifled by the denial of their contemporary colonial experiences. The current failure of international law to consider these claims through a colonial lens is inhibitive of creative self-determination solutions in multi-ethnic states. Self-determination, as a universal human right, retains the potential to meet the needs of these contemporary, anti-colonial claimants. In this article, I demonstrate how international legal approaches to self-determination may be decolonised in order to facilitate the full and fair evaluation of contemporary anti-colonial claims.
GM-CSF and IL-3 activities in schistosomal liver granulomas are controlled by stroma-associated heparan sulfate proteoglycans

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

Abstract Connective tissue cells (myofibroblasts) from liver inflammatory granulomatous reactions to schistosome eggs are able to sustain a long-term proliferation of myeloid cells, both in vivo and in vitro. We have addressed the question of the molecular mechanisms involved in control of this extramedullar stroma-dependent production of inflammatory cells. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) were purified from granuloma-derived connective tissue cells and bound to plastic or collagen substrate. Their ability to bind recombinant murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-3 (IL-3), to stimulate proliferation of the FDC-P1 myeloid cell lineage, and to modify growth factor activity was monitored. The specificity of this stroma cell-derived glycosaminoglycan interaction with the myeloid growth factors was analyzed by comparing other glycosaminoglycans and sulfated polysaccharides. HSPGs could act as an artificial myelopoietic stroma; they were both required and sufficient for binding and presenting GM-CSF and IL-3 in a biologically active form. Moreover, they were able to mediate an increase in the specific growth-promoting activity of GM-CSF and IL-3. This was specific for stroma-derived heparan sulfate and heparin, since heparan sulfate derived from other cells, other glycosaminoglycans, and related molecules had no effect. These results indicate that HSPGs can stimulate and control the in situ proliferation of myeloid cells, modifying in both quantitative and qualitative terms the composition of inflammatory cell infiltrates in hepatic granulomas.

Connecting the Dots: Links Between Teacher Knowledge, Print Exposure and Planning for Instruction

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

To deliver high quality English Language Arts Instruction, teachers must possess specific content knowledge in order to develop a well-rounded instructional program. The aim of the present study was two-fold; first, to investigate correlations between pre-service teachers’ print exposure, their knowledge of print exposure, and how they plan for instruction (N = 35); second, to deepen knowledge of print exposure through a two-week intervention and determine if successfully deepening knowledge affects a change in planning for instruction. The first experiment revealed correlations between participants’ print exposure, their knowledge of print exposure and related concepts, and how much time they allocate for student reading. The second experiment employed an experimental design with participants randomly assigned into an experimental group (n = 17) or a control group (n = 18). The investigation showed that knowledge of print exposure can be significantly increased through a two-week intervention, and that this knowledge had a significant effect on how much time participants allocated for student reading when planning for instruction.
Correction: Following a Foraging Fish-Finder: Diel Habitat Use of Blainville's Beaked Whales Revealed by Echolocation

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Simultaneous high resolution sampling of predator behavior and habitat characteristics is often difficult to achieve despite its importance in understanding the foraging decisions and habitat use of predators.Here we tap into the biosonar system of Blainville's beaked whales, Mesoplodon densirostris, using sound and orientation recording tags to uncover prey-finding cues available to echolocating predators in the deep-sea.Echolocation sounds indicate where whales search and encounter prey, as well as the altitude of whales above the sea-floor and the density of organisms around them, providing a link between foraging activity and the bio-physical environment.Tagged whales (n = 9) hunted exclusively at depth, investing most of their search time either in the lower part of the deep scattering layer (DSL) or near the sea-floor with little diel change.At least 43% (420/974) of recorded prey-capture attempts were performed within the benthic boundary layer despite a wide range of dive depths, and many dives included both meso-and bentho-pelagic foraging.Blainville's beaked whales only initiate searching when already deep in the descent and encounter prey suitable for capture within 2 min of the start of echolocation, suggesting that these whales are accessing prey in reliable vertical strata.Moreover, these prey resources are sufficiently dense to feed the animals in what is effectively four hours of hunting per day enabling a strategy in which long dives to exploit numerous deep-prey with low nutritional value require protracted recovery periods (average 1.5 h) between dives.This apparent searching efficiency maybe aided by inhabiting steep undersea slopes with access to both the DSL and the sea-floor over small spatial scales.Aggregations of prey in these biotopes are located using biosonarderived landmarks and represent stable and abundant resources for Blainville's beaked whales in the otherwise food-limited deep-ocean.
Microbiological fertilizers in the production of bean, pea and alfalfa

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The family Leguminosae includes a variety of species which are important not only as food and feed but also as indispensable component in crop rotations. In association with bacteria from the genera Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Sinorhizobium and Azorhizobium, leguminous species fix the atmospheric nitrogen, using it primarily for the synthesis of their own proteins. There are several reasons which justify the use of inoculation in the production of bean, pea and alfalfa. Nodular bacteria of bean and alfalfa are scarce in the local soils, especially in those exhibiting the acid reaction. The incorporation of effective and acid-resistant bacterial strains during bean and alfalfa sowing increases their nitrogen fixation allowing their growing on less fertile soils. Nodular bacteria of the pea are abundant in the agricultural soils. However, the native strains are frequently insufficiently active as demonstrated by numerous but small and light-colored nodules on pea roots. The application of effective strains increases the yield and nitrogen content in pea grains. Large, reddish nodules are formed on the roots of inoculated plants. The inoculation practice reduces the use of mineral fertilizers, which is important both economically and ecologically. Excessive use of mineral fertilizers is not only uneconomical but it also tends to cause soil pollution. Conversely, microbiological fertilizers containing specific modular bacteria improve soil quality, i.e., soil fertility as well as the ecological situation.
