This paper proposes a technology adoption model called TAM 4, based on the TAM model considering the trust and perceived risk factors to the adoption of technology in response to governments' concern to achieve competitiveness in the most important economic activities. The methodology used considers the predictive method. The sample was selected from 67 companies related to foreign trade that carry out agro export tasks, with a confidence level of 90% and an error percentage of ± 10% and the 0.787 of Cronbach's Alpha obtained for the instrument's validation. In conclusion, 97% of the companies informally adopt technology. This shows that 68% of the companies surveyed in the sector would be willing to adopt the model.

In the present study we analyze the farmers’ perception towards adoption of technology such as technology adoption for better productivity in farming. The considered constructs are adopted from Technology adoption model (TAM). A total sample of 165seasonal farmers who grow millets from the Guntur district are considered through simple random technique and out of which survey respondents irregular responses are eliminated finally 150 samples are determined for statistical analysis. Factor analysis was performed to determine the latent factors and their dependent association with intention for adoption was observed with regression analysis. Results are reported and discussions are made as per the results and in correlation between results and previous literature and finally, suggestions and future indication for extension of the study are proposed.

Practice Variations

Background: Venous thrombosis, the leading cause of free flap failure, may have devastating consequences. Many anti-thrombotic agents and protocols have been described for prophylaxis and treatment of venous thrombosis in free flaps. Methods: National surveys were distributed to microsurgeons (of both Plastics and ENT training) and hematology and thrombosis specialists. Data were collected on routine screening practices, perceived risk factors for flap failure, and pre-, intra-, and post-operative anti-thrombotic strategies. Results: There were 722 surveys distributed with 132 (18%) respondents, consisting of 102 surgeons and 30 hematologists. Sixty-five surgeons and 9 hematologists routinely performed or managed patients with free flaps. The top 3 perceived risk factors for flap failure according to surgeons were medical co-morbidities, past arterial thrombosis, and thrombophilia. Hematologists, however, reported diabetes, smoking, and medical co-morbidities as the most important risk factors. Fifty-four percent of physicians routinely used unfractionated heparin (UFH) or low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) as a preoperative agent. Surgeons routinely flushed the flap with heparin (37%), used UFH IV (6%), or both (8%) intra-operatively. Surgeons used a range of post-operative agents such as UFH, LMWH, aspirin, and dextran while hematologists preferred LMWH. There was variation of management strategies if flap thrombosis occurred. Different strategies consisted of changing recipient vessels, UFH IV, flushing the flap, adding post-operative agents, or a combination of strategies. Conclusions: There are diverse practice variations in anti-thrombotic strategies for free tissue transfers and a difference in perceived risk factors for flap failure that may affect patient management.

Abstract Skull base chondrosarcomas are often low grade tumors that do not metastasize, but are locally invasive and often recur locally. Thus, when patients with these tumors re-present with new onset symptoms, even decades later, recurrent tumor is presumed. A 50 year old woman with skull base chondrosarcoma initially diagnosed 30 years prior developed the subacute onset of worsening confusion and vision, with progressive blindness. Imaging disclosed a bony-erosive skull base mass without associated sinusitis/sinus opacification; additional small cerebral infarcts were identified. She had been on physiologic replacement therapy for panhypopituitarism since the original surgery, but had not received recent radiation therapy or chemotherapy and did not have neutropenia. RESULTS: Biopsy disclosed a chronic inflammation and necrotic debris; only on permanent sections were septated, 45-degree angle-branching fungi identified in one area. These had morphological features of, and were polymerase chain reaction-proven, Aspergillus fumigatus. No recurrent tumor was present. Given the lack of perceived risk factors, further questioning of the patient and her mother disclosed that precisely 1 year prior to surgery she and her family had participated in “cleaning out an old very dirty and dusty barn” in southern Colorado without the use of face masks; only the proband experienced sequelae. Anti-fungal therapy (voriconazole) was recommended although patient use was intermittent and symptoms have progressed. CONCLUSION: Community-acquired Aspergillus infections due to exposure to silage or barn detritus contaminated by fungal hyphae is almost never seen today, in comparison to opportunistic infections due to known risk factors of neutropenia and/or steroid usage. Replacement therapy may have added to this patient’s risk. Infections all too often mimic recurrent tumor.

Aims: This study aimed to identify the risk factors of using DSM to provide an insight into the inherent implications this has on dental professionals in practice and trainee professionals’ education. Materials and methods: Twenty-one participants (10 dental professionals and 11 undergraduate and postgraduate dental students) participated in this qualitative study using semi-structured interviews in a dental school in the UK. The interviews were analysed and categorised into themes, some of which were identified from previous literature (e.g., privacy and psychological risks) and others emerged from the data (e.g., deceptive and misleading information). Results: The thematic analysis of interview transcripts identified nine perceived risk themes. Three themes were associated with the use of DSM in the general context, and six themes were related to the use of DSM in professional and education context. Conclusions: This study provided evidence to understand the risk factors of using DSM in dental education and the profession, but the magnitude of these risks on the uptake and usefulness of DSM needs to be assessed.

Tam Model

This study aims to examine the factors influencing consumers' behavior intention to adopt mobile banking apps. The research uses the TAM model with additional variables such as social influence and perceived risk to evaluate how these factors impact the behavior intention of young customers toward adopting mobile banking services. PLS-SEM was used as the main research method. The findings from this paper reaffirmed that perceived usefulness and social influence are the most influential factor in behavior intention, but perceived ease of use and perceived risk showed insignificant impacts on young consumers' behavior intention in Vietnam. This paper also found that perceived ease of use had no direct impact on behavior intention but an indirect impact through facilitating perceived usefulness. This subject makes a practical and academic contribution in the context of a developing country where is lacking research in mobile banking apps.

As the development of refrigerated container, transportation of aquatic products is growing rapidly in recent years. It is very important to avoid cargos damages for aquatic products of refrigerated containers, while the shipping operators are running this scope of business. Hence, the risk issue of adopting various improvement strategies would be important for the container shipping operators. In the light of this, the main purpose of this paper is to analyze the risks of cargos damages for aquatic products of refrigerated containers based on the container shipping operators’ perspective in Taiwan. We use four risk assessment procedures - risk identification, risk analysis and evaluation, risk strategies, and risk treatment - as the research method in this paper. The risk factors are generated from literature review and experts interviewing. Then, three dimensions with nineteen risk factors are preliminary identified. We used these risk factors to proceed with the empirical study via questionnaires. Three points of empirical results are presented. At first, the top factor of perceived risk as well as of risk severity is ‘container data setting errors.’ Secondly, the top factor of risk frequency is ‘lack of the goods’ pre-cooling themselves.’ Thirdly, three risk factors are classified into the low-risk area, whereas sixteen risk factors are placed on the medium-risk area. There is no risk factor fix on the high-risk area. Furthermore, three risk strategies - risk prevention, risk reduction, and risk transfer - are suggested to adopt by different risk factors.
