Examining consumers' intention, behavior, and beliefs in mobile banking adoption and continuous usage

2016

Changing consumer behavior continues to have a profound impact on digital banking adoption and prolonged usage in developed and emerging markets. Several factors influence the consumer decision journey when choosing any specific digital channel or combination of channels. Among a variety of digital banking channels, this dissertation research seeks to contribute to the mobile banking (m-banking) literature by examining consumer behavior in m-banking services as well as technology (application) adoption and continuous usage, especially after considering the fact that financial service institutions have entered a time when offering mobile-based services is no longer a novelty but a necessity.…

Adrb3 adrenergic receptor is a key regulator of human myometrial apoptosis and inflammation during chorioamnionitis1

2008

The pathophysiology underlying preterm labor triggered by inflammatory conditions such as chorioamnionitis remains largely unclear. It has already been suggested that beta-3 adrenergic (ADRB3) agonists might be of interest in the pharmacological management of preterm labor. Although there is evidence implicating ADRB receptors in the control of inflammation, there are minimal data relating specifically to ADRB3. To explore the cellular consequences of chorioamnionitis and detect apoptosis, we first performed immunostaining and Western blot experiments on human myometrial samples obtained from women with confirmed chorioamnionitis. We then developed an in vitro model of chorioamnionitis by i…

Quali sono le specie arboree a rapido accrescimento per la Sicilia?

2018

A dispetto dell’uso diffuso massiccio della locuzione “specie a rapido accrescimento”, riferita a specie utilizzate per la produzione di biomassa, mancano ad oggi riferimenti certi che servano a definire le suddette specie. Si consideri, inoltre, che la locuzione è utilizzata, oltre che in articoli e testi tecnici, anche in testi che hanno carattere applicativo e/o costituiscono norme di riferimento come, ad esempio, le misure dei Piani di Sviluppo Rurale. Una definizione ormai datata della FAO (1967), riferita ai paesi in via di sviluppo, riporta: “Fast-growing species are considered as those capable of a mean annual increment of at least 10 cubic meters per hectare”. Nel frattempo, da qua…

Effect of an insect growth regulator (halofenozide) on the cuticular hydrocarbons of Culex pipiens larvae

2013

The cuticular hydrocarbons of the fourth-instar larvae of Culex pipiens aged one and six days were analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The effect of an insect growth regulator (halofenozide = RH-0345) on the cuticular hydrocarbons was evaluated using newly moulted fourth-instar larvae of C. pipiens, at the lethal concentrations (LC50 = 12.58 and LC90 = 28.58 mu g/l). A previous study revealed that RH-0345 is toxic to larvae of C. pipiens by induction of precocious larval moulting. Several cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) were identified and many of the other compounds remained unknown. Our data show that the CHC classes consisted of n-alkanes (C23-C29) and …

Yliopistojen kieli-ideologiat korkeakoulupolitiikan kuvaajina

2022

Yliopistojen kielikäytänteet ja -ideologiat eivät elä tyhjiössä, vaan kytkeytyvät erilaisin kierteisin tavoin yhteiskunnan poliittisiin, taloudellisiin, sosiaalisiin ja kulttuurisiin kerrostumiin ja kehityksiin. Tarkastelen tässä artikkelissa näitä kerrostumia korkeakoulupolitiikan näkökulmasta: miten puhe ”kielestä” kytkeytyy näihin yhteiskunnallisiin teemoihin ja eri politiikkasektoreihin. Käytän kirjoituksessa ”kierrätettyjen diskurssien” käsitettä, jolla tarkoitan niitä historiallisesti muotoutuneita tapoja, joilla erilaisia kielipoliittisia puhetapoja nostetaan esille ja muunnellaan erilaisissa poliittisissa tilanteissa. nonPeerReviewed

The effect of a temperature-sensitive prophage on the evolution of virulence in an opportunistic bacterial pathogen.

2022

https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16638 Abstract Viruses are key actors of ecosystems and have major impacts on global biogeochemical cycles. Prophages deserve particular attention as they are ubiquitous in bacterial genomes and can enter a lytic cycle when triggered by environmental conditions. We explored how temperature affects the interactions between prophages and other biological levels by using an opportunistic pathogen, the bacterium Serratia marcescens, that harbours several prophages and that had undergone an evolution experiment under several temperature regimes. We found that the release of one of the prophages was temperature-sensitive and malleable to evolutionary changes. We furthe…
