With the ever-growing popularity of live-streaming commerce, it is crucial for marketers to understand how live-streaming contributes to sales. While prior studies mainly focused on customer motivations for using live-streaming commerce, few studies, to date, elucidate consumers' decision-making process in this context. Addressing this gap, we adopt the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) of persua

The Warburg effect is ubiquitous in proliferative mammalian cells, including cancer cells, but poses challenges for biopharmaceutical production, as lactate accumulation inhibits cell growth and protein production. Previous efforts to eliminate lactate production via knockout have failed in mammalian bioprocessing since lactate dehydrogenase has proven essential. However, here we eliminated the Wa

Decadal trends in the atmospheric abundances of carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) have been well characterised and have provided a time series of global total emissions. Information on locations of emissions contributing to the global total, however, is currently poor. We use a unique set of measurements between 2008 and 2015 from the Gosan station, Jeju Island, South Korea

Considering that the number of wheelchair users is on the rise at the global level due to population aging, it is crucial to secure their rights to have adequate access to healthcare services. Spatial accessibility to healthcare services has been well recognized to influence people's health. However, research on healthcare accessibility of wheelchair users is scarce. This study proposes a barrier-

Buddhists are more frequent in urban than in rural Taiwan - this statistical discovery of the present volume leads to an investigation into the motivations of people who denote themselves as Buddhists. Nine biographical narrative interviews stand central to an analysis following Structural Hermeneutics - a sociological method applied for the first time in an Asian context.Guggenmos analyses why it

The hedging effectiveness of currency forward contracts and currency put option for three different portfolios—Portfolio of Emerging Markets, Portfolio of Developed Countries, and the International Portfolio—are examined from the viewpoint of European investors. European Union (EU), United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland (SF), Sweden (SE), Denmark (DK), Norway (NK), and Japan (JAP) a

Uppsatsen avser att undersöka den gränsdragningsproblematik som kan uppstå när avtalsparter lämnar en klausul öppen för att den vid ett senare tillfälle ska fyllas med innehåll av en tredjeman. Skillnaden mellan dessa värderingsklausuler och skiljeklausuler samt metoder för att undvika problematik med gränsdragningen är centrala frågor. Värderingsklausuler behandlas endast i samband med företagsövThis thesis intends to distinguish the demarcation problems that may arise when two parties leave an open clause, in a contract, to later be filled with content by a third party. The difference between expert valuation clauses and arbitration clauses, and how to avoid problems with demarcation are the key issues of the thesis. Expert valuation clauses will only be considered in the area of mergers

This study focuses on establishing the existence of volatility spillover effects between stock indices that represent developed and emerging markets. We employ a CGARCH(1,1) model, which distinguishes between the short-term (transitory) and long-term (permanent) conditional variance, allowing us to simultaneously examine the time trends of changes in volatility and spillover effects between develo

Previous research on hydropower projects impact on people’s socio-economic development has mainly focused on relocated people, immediately after they were relocated, arguing that relocation result in underdevelopment of people´s livelihoods. Henceforth, this research contribute to the literature through including a long-term perspective to highlight immediate and long-term impacts on relocated and

For a long time debate has taken place regarding the trends and extinction rates associated with the Cretaceous- Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event on land. While mainly focussed on vertebrates and more especially non-avian dinosaurs, the dynamics of the plant cover remains nonetheless a major component for the understanding the biological response across the K-Pg interval and associated ecosy

It is not unusual that women and children fall behind in development countries. It is not even unusual that these groups are exposed to all forms of discrimination due to the countries lack of capacity to erase poverty. We also know that women and children in a larger extent suffers from the shortage of proper health conditions. India is one of these countries. It is a country where women even bef

It is frequently claimed that what is known as the “flying geese model” of dynamic comparative advantage has with few mistakes explained the East Asian catching up process. This paper offers a critical study on, especially from the prospect of South Korea, whether the flying geese model is acceptable to explain the economic relations among the three Northeast Asian countries, South Korea, Japan, a

Full-scale experiments have been carried out to adapt the activated sludge model ASM2d to include the influence of metal dosage (Fe3+ and Al3+) for phosphorus removal. Phosphorus removal rates, nitrification rates, as well as pH and sludge settling performance, were evaluated as functions of the metal dosages. Furthermore, models relating certain parameters to the dosage of chemicals have been der

The out of Africa hypothesis (OOAH) has been a mainstay in the discussion of human evolution since its presentation in the 1980's. However, recent advances in palaeontology and molecular genetics have made it possible to examine the hypothesis in a manner that was inconceivable at the time of its proposal. The palaeontological progress relates to early Homo finds in the Caucasus, Denisova finds in

Most question answering systems feature a step to predict an expected answer type given a question. Li and Roth \cite{li2002learning} proposed an oft-cited taxonomy to the categorize the answer types as well as an annotated data set. While offering a framework compatible with supervised learning, this method builds on a fixed and rigid model that has to be updated when the question-answering domai

Although many studies on mental health have been conducted among various populations during the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies have focused on post-traumatic growth (PTG) in the general population. The current study aimed to explore whether perceived social support, personality, and coping strategies are associated with PTG in the COVID-19 pandemic period. The study also investigated whether copin
