This study examined effects of Facebook reaction icons and user comments on brand attitude, trust, information seeking, purchase intention, and eWOM intention towards a health brand, as well as potential moderating effects of SNS use. Results of a 3 (reaction icons: positive/neutral/negative) × 3 (valence of comments: positive/neutral/negative) between-subjects experiment ( = 306) indicated that positive Facebook reaction icons significantly influenced brand attitude, trust, purchase intention, and eWOM intention, while neutral comments significantly impacted brand attitude and trust. The degree of SNS use also negatively moderated between reaction icon valence and eWOM intention. Implications for health marketing communication are discussed.

The increase of coal seam mining depth leads to the increase of ground temperature stress, which affects the fracture development and spontaneous combustion characteristics of coal samples. Taking anthracite as the research object, scanning electron microscopy, low-temperature N adsorption, temperature- programmed experiments and infrared spectroscopy tests were carried out to analyze the mechanism of the influence of pore structure and the number of oxygen-containing functional groups on the spontaneous combustion characteristics of coal samples from the physical and chemical perspectives. The results show that the connection between pores and fractures is enhanced and the scale of micro-fractures is also increased after the thermal and mechanical coupling.

Front-of-package labeling (FOPL) policies are a useful strategy to inform consumers about foods high in nutrients of concern, but little is known about what type of label works best in Bangladesh, a country with increasing levels of unhealthy food intake and diet-related diseases. We conducted 10 focus groups with men and women in rural and urban Bangladesh ( = 76). Using a semi-structured discussion guide, we asked consumers for their perceptions of the healthfulness of nutrients and foods, two common FOPLs (a color-coded guideline daily allowance [GDA] label and a warning label), and different visual elements of the warning label (e.

Background: Domoic acid (DA) is a neurotoxic compound causing amnesic shellfish poisoning, secreted by red algae and diatoms. As a glutamate analogue, DA accumulates in filter-feeding marine organisms, posing significant health risks to humans upon consumption. Detecting DA in marine environments remains challenging due to its low concentration and interference from complex matrices.

We review an iconic class of chemical oscillators driven by phase transition instabilities, namely Gas Evolution Oscillators (GEOs). These systems show oscillatory dynamics in the delivery of gas sustained simple reactions yielding gaseous products in a liquid mixture, due to nucleation and supersaturation phenomena. After presenting the main features and properties of these systems, we deepen the underlying mechanism through a unified picture of the various models that have been proposed to describe this kind of oscillations.

In the present study, an attempt was made to replicate results found about the influence of valence on prioritisation and decay in iconic memory. Hereby, the evaluative conditioning effect was used to induce valence for formerly neutral stimuli. The effect is gained by pairing neutral stimuli with either positive, negative, or neutral images in a conditioning phase.
