Neutrophils participate in the maintenance of host integrity by releasing various cytotoxic proteins during degranulation. Due to recent advances, a major role has been attributed to neutrophil-derived cytokine secretion in the initiation, exacerbation, and resolution of inflammatory responses. Because the release of neutrophil-derived products orchestrates the action of other immune cells at the infection site and, thus, can contribute to the development of chronic inflammatory diseases, we aimed to investigate in more detail the spatiotemporal regulation of neutrophil-mediated release mechanisms of proinflammatory mediators. Purified human neutrophils were stimulated for different time points with lipopolysaccharide. Cells and supernatants were analyzed by flow cytometry techniques and used to establish secretion profiles of granules and cytokines. To analyze the link between cytokine release and degranulation time series, we propose an original strategy based on linear fitting, which may be used as a guideline, to (i) define the relationship of granule proteins and cytokines secreted to the inflammatory site and (ii) investigate the spatial regulation of neutrophil cytokine release. The model approach presented here aims to predict the correlation between neutrophil-derived cytokine secretion and degranulation and may easily be extrapolated to investigate the relationship between other types of time series of functional processes.

The present study aims to grasp the car ownership characteristics of households in the sub-urban area in Makassar City, Indonesia. The study considers some exogenous characteristics of the households, such house types, family size, income, motorcycle ownership, trip number, and worker number. To construct the relationship between those characteristics and the car ownership, we applied the multinomial logit model approach. This study surveyed seven residential areas in the sub-urban area of the city. The survey conducted an interviewing method using a questionnaire sheet. The survey respondents as representative of the households, which selected randomly from the residential areas. The results show that the goodness of fit of the car ownership model is acceptable enough. Further, all of the exogenous variables significantly influence the households in car ownership. We expected that the results provide a basis for further studies such time valuation of car riders, mode choice model of the households, etc.

The main purpose of the current study is to examine customer satisfaction, atmospheric and customer behaviour using SOR model. In addition to that, the study has examined the mediating role of customer satisfaction in the relationship between Atmospherics on Customer Behaviour. In recent Past, the main focus for the organizations was to identify the factors that can help in enhancing the loyalty of the customers. Additionally, their focus is also on delivering superior services by which they can keep the customers loyal. The study is of the view that the organizationsmake these efforts with desires to keep these customers retain, which will help them in increasing the profits and revenues. However, the current study has filled this gap. However, this study is among the pioneering studies on this issue Employing the survey-based methodology; the SEM-PLS technique is used to test the hypothesized relationships. So, the current study has used SEM-PLS as a statistical tool to answer the research questions raised in this study and research objectives envisaged in the current study. The data is collected from the SPA customers in Thailand. The findings of the study have provided support to the theoretical foundation and the proposed hypothesis of the current study. The current study will be helpful for policymakers and practitioners in understanding the issues work customer satisfaction, atmospheric and customer behaviour using SOR model. In author knowledge, this is among very few pioneering studies on this issue.

Investigations of relationship-induced self-concept change and relationship quality have generally been limited to intraindividual effects (i.e., actor effects). In the current study, we examined whether self-changes influence romantic partners’ perceptions of relationship satisfaction and commitment (i.e., partner effects). Using the actor–partner interdependence model, we tested how four self-concept change processes—self-expansion, self-pruning, self-contraction, and self-adulteration—are associated with relationship satisfaction and commitment. Results revealed robust actor effects across all self-change processes and partner effects on satisfaction for degradation processes only (i.e., self-contraction and self-adulteration), suggesting that self-changes differentially predict individuals’ and partners’ perceptions of the relationship.

Abstract Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the relationship between dry matter content (DMC) and maturity index of ‘Fuji’ apple fruit sports (‘Mishima’, ‘Fuji Select’ and ‘Fuji Suprema’) during the final stage of fruit growth, and the relationship between DMC at harvest and the post-harvest fruit quality. Fruit were harvested from orchards of three regions (Caçador, São Joaquim and Vacaria), on two rootstocks (M9 and Marubakaido with M9 interstock). In experiment 1 (2014), fruit were periodically sampled beginning 83 days before the commercial harvest period. In experiment 2, fruit were harvested at optimum maturity for long-term storage and stored in air at 0.5 ºC (2014) or after optimum maturity for long-term storage and stored in controlled atmosphere at 0.7 ºC (2014 and 2015). Apple fruit maturity on the tree was characterized by decreased flesh firmness and increased starch index and soluble solids content (SS) and by a small change in DMC. DMC at harvest was correlated with flesh firmness and SS in one of two years, but DMC was not correlated with the incidence of disorders after storage. The results show that DMC at harvest is not suitable as a maturity index of ‘Fuji’ apples, and its use as a post-harvest quality predictor is not consistent between crop years.

This study aims to detect the determinants of plywood exports in Indonesia based on the Gravity model. Problems that occur are related to inefficient and effective exports. The analytical method uses Vector Autoregression with a single equation using a gravity model to analyze the factors that influence the flow of Indonesian plywood trade. The assumption results using Vector Autoregression (VAR), shows the results of the relationship between GDP, POP, ER, P, Dt and Vol with lag 1, this can be concluded that by observing the t-statistics of each coefficient, the reciprocal relationship between the variables GDP, POP, ER, P, Dt and Vol are statistically significant. Another variable besides the variable itself that has the most significant contribution to GDP is the distance t-1. The variable that has the most significant contribution to the population other than the population itself is Price (P) t-1. The variable that has the most significant contribution to ER besides the ER variable itself is Population. The variable that has the most significant contribution to Price (P) is the GDP variable. Other variables that have the most significant contribution to Distance (Dt) other than the Distance variable itself are variables of Indonesian Plywood Export Volume. Other variables that have the most significant contribution to Indonesia Plywood Export Volume in addition to the Indonesian Lapis Wood Export Volume variable itself are Population.
