The damaged environment that has been influenced by human life is now encouraging consumer behavior changes to be more aware of the environment and interested in buying green products; and through this study, we want to determine and analyze the role of attitude as mediation and the effect of green advertising, green brand trust, and attitudes towards green purchase intention. We used a questionnaire and obtained a sample of 118 respondents using the purposive sampling technique. Then, we analyze the data using PLS-SEM analysis tool with Smart PLS 3.2.8. Our results showed that green advertising, green brand trust, and attitudes towards green products had a significant and positive effect directly on green purchase intention. Green product mediation's variable attitude was full of green advertising variables, green brand on green purchase intention.

<p>The surge in demand for green products leads to rampant practice of “greenwashing”, in which marketers deceitfully try to position their brand as more eco-friendly than it actually is. Past studies on green advertisements have indicated that visual cues in the advertisements can also play a part in affecting consumers’ evaluation of the product and its eco-friendly feature. This study was conducted to examine the effect of two essential elements in a green advertisement, which are the overall visual aesthetic quality of the advertisement and verbal environmental claim. The study was conducted using an experimental vignette method. Two hundred seventy-six respondents participated in this study. Through MANOVA statistical analysis, it was found that both aesthetic quality and environmental claim type used significantly affect green brand associations, as well as the attitude respondents, have towards the brand. However, this significant effect of ads visual aesthetic quality can be concerning since it might hinder consumers to objectively evaluate the environmental claim of the product.</p>

In the era of mobile internet, newsfeed advertising, which is most applicable to consumption scenarios that involve mobile devices, has become a core driving force in advertising. The rapid advancement of technology with respect to newsfeed advertising has not only reshaped the green consumption sector but has also had significant impacts on consumer psychology and behavior. When faced with highly social green newsfeed advertising, consumers are receptive to different degrees, which ultimately affects their receptivity to new green products. Through an experiment and a questionnaire, we find the following: (1) Consumers prefer new green products advertised through high-sociality green newsfeed advertisements more than those advertised with low-sociality ads. (2) Receptivity to green advertising can mediate the impact of the sociality of newsfeed advertising on consumer adoption of new green products. (3) The aforementioned direct effect and mediating effect are also affected by consumers’ green involvement. Our paper has both theoretical and practical significance; that is, we contribute to the research on the impacts of the sociality of green advertising on the psychological mechanisms underlying consumer adoption of new green products. Additionally, we provide managerial recommendations for the future development of green newsfeed advertising and for improvements in consumer impressions of green consumption.

Indonesian people are still less involved in the practice of minimizing ecosystem damage, such as not switching to using green products to reduce plastic waste. The number of green products sold in Indonesia itself is not small, but the demand is not too much. In fact, by increasing consumer purchasing decisions for green products, it can help Indonesia become a more environmentally friendly country. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of environmental consciousness, eco-label, attitude, green advertising, and price on green product consumer buying decisions. This study uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze the hypothesis model with SmartPLS. This study used 260 samples obtained through the distribution of online questionnaires.. The results of this study indicate that environmental consciousness, attitude, and price positively and significantly affect the buying decisions of green products consumers, while eco-labels, and green advertising positively but not significantly affect the buying decisions of green products consumers.Masyarakat Indonesia masih kurang terlibat dalam praktik meminimalisir kerusakan ekosistem, seperti belum beralih menggunakan produk ramah lingkungan untuk mengurangi sampah plastik. Produk ramah lingkungan yang dijual di Indonesia sendiri jumlahnya tidak sedikit, namun peminatnya belum terlalu banyak. Padahal dengan meningkatkan keputusan pembelian konsumen terhadap green product, dapat membantu Indonesia menjadi negara yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji pengaruh dari environmental consciousness, eco-label, attitude, green advertising, dan price terhadap buying decision konsumen green product. Penelitian ini menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) untuk menganalisis model hipotesis dengan SmartPLS. Penelitian ini menggunakan 260 sampel yang didapatkan melalui pedistribusian kuesioner secara online. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa environmental consciousness, attitude, dan price secara positif dan signifikan mempengaruhi buying decision konsumen green product, serta eco-label, dan green advertising secara positif namun tidak signifikan mempengaruhi buying decision konsumen green product.

Cisplatin (cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II)) a potent antitumor agent is now available for the treatment of testicular and ovarian cancers. It is however, not free from its serious side effects including nephrotoxicity, gastro intestinal toxicity, myelosuppression, and ototoxicity. Here we now report that the drug produces peculiar bloating of the stomach in rats and induces acute ulceration.Wistar-derived rats weighing 200-250 g were administered cisplatin(9 mg/kg) ip as a single dose in 0.15 M NaCl. After 3 days the animals were sacrificed by decapitation. The stomachs were removed, the contents analyzed for pepsin and acidity. The inner surface was examined with a dissecting microscope after a moderate stretching for ulcers. Affected areas were fixed and processed for routine electron microscopy and enzyme cytochemistry.The drug treated animals kept on food and water consistently showed bloating and lesions (Fig. 1) with a frequency of 6-70 ulcers in the rumen section of the stomachs.

Cisplatin (CDDP) is currently one of the most valuable antineoplastic drugs available. However, it has severe toxic side effects of which nephrotoxicity is the major dose limiting factor in its use. It induces morphological changes in the kidney with hampered urine output. The present study is an effort to determine the influence of the drug on the neurohypophysis for any antidiuretic effects on the kidney.
