Nowadays, word-of-mouth is a very important component of e-commerce activity because consumers are very sensitive to other people’s opinions. Depending on the companies’ politics, these opinions can be incentivized or non-incentivized. One of the major dilemmas consists in establishing which kind of word-of-mouth has more influence on customers’ perceptions. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationships between perceived argument quality (PAQ) and perceived source expertise (PSE), on the one hand, and electronic word-of-mouth adoption intention on the other hand, for an incentivized message compared to a non-incentivized message. We processed answers from two different random groups by using adapted PAQ and PSE inventories of questions. The constructs, latent variables and items were analyzed in IBM Amos software, and our findings confirm the hypotheses regarding the relationship between the attributes of the message (argument quality and source expertise) and message credibility. Additionally, we found a significant positive relationship between message credibility and electronic word-of-mouth adoption intention. Our research also explores the moderating role of the message type (incentivized vs. non-incentivized) in the relationships above, and we discovered that the message type significantly moderates the relationship between perceived argument quality and credibility, but the type of message does not moderate the relationship between message credibility and eWOM adoption intention.

AbstractWe show that, as n goes to infinity, the free group on n generators, modulo {n+u} random relations, converges to a random group that we give explicitly. This random group is a non-abelian version of the random abelian groups that feature in the Cohen–Lenstra heuristics. For each n, these random groups belong to the few relator model in the Gromov model of random groups.

Resumo:  A educação inclusiva é conhecida como uma forma de trabalhar com crianças com necessidades especiais no ambiente escolar. Vista de forma mais ampla, ela tem o papel de acolher a diversidade e dar assistência a todos os estudantes, pois o objetivo da inclusão educacional é acabar com a exclusão social. O trabalho de pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar as dificuldades encontradas pelos professores apoiadores das salas de aula, saber qual o suporte e formação que recebe para atuar. Além disso, a pesquisa possibilita compreender a realidade da inclusão a partir de redes de ensino diferentes, a pública e a privada. A metodologia aplicada incluiu dados da observação da sala de aula no intuito de narrar e analisar o cotidiano do “professor apoiador escolar”. O trabalho foi realizado na Cidade de Salgueiro/PE, e em Umãs/PE, com apoiadores escolares de três escolas, os participantes foram apoiadores escolhidos em turmas aleatórias, em um total de 10 apoiadores de sala de aula.---Inclusive education is known as a way of working with children with special needs in the school environment. Viewed more broadly, it has the role of welcoming diversity and providing assistance to all students, as the objective of educational inclusion is to end social exclusion. The research work aims to assess the difficulties encountered by supportive teachers in the classroom, to know what support and training they receive to act. In addition, the research makes it possible to understand the reality of inclusion from different educational networks, public and private. The methodology applied included data from classroom observation in order to narrate and analyze the daily life of the “supporting school teacher”. The work was carried out in the City of Salgueiro/PE, and in Umãs/PE, with school supporters from three schools, the participants were supporters chosen in random groups, in a total of 10 classroom supporters.

AbstractWe consider models of random groups in which the typical group is of intermediate rank (in particular, it is not hyperbolic). These models are parallel to Gromov’s well-known constructions, and include for example a ‘density model’ for groups of intermediate rank. The main novelty is the higher rank nature of the random groups. They are randomizations of certain families of lattices in algebraic groups (of rank 2) over local fields.

This work evaluated the effect of <em>Dichrostachys glomerata </em>on the improvement of antioxidant biomarkers in obesity and type 2 diabetes participants, in an eight-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design study. The active (400 mg) or placebo formulation were administered twice daily throughout the study period to two normoglycemic and two diabetic obese random groups. Plasma levels of a total of 8 biochemical parameters were taken at the baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. No differences in urate variation were observed while the plasma phenolic content as well as the reduced glutathione level, ascorbate concentration, FRAP value and enzymatic antioxidant activities significantly increased with a concomitant reduction of MDA after 8 weeks compared to placebo (P &lt; 0.01). On the contrary to urate and ascorbate, plasma polyphenol content correlated well with FRAP level in both treated groups indicating that phenolics from the spice greatly contributed to the antioxidant activity.
