The apparel market in India is swiftly developing with a change in consumer tastes towards branded apparel. Indian apparel consumers have become highly brand conscious. The focus of this research was on women apparel buyers because women are becoming increasingly independent in making their choices due to their increased education levels, increased purchasing power, their relative freedom from parental or spouse intervention in exercising their shopping style. The main objective of the research was to find out if there was any significant difference on the overall shopping experience of apparels among and within the different groups of women respondents with respect certain demographical aspects such as age, education level, occupation, marital status, frequency of purchase and perceptual aspects such as perceived store atmosphere and perceived brand image that may influence the overall shopping experience of women apparel buyers are examined. In order to examine and compare the group differences between the respondents, a univariate GLM was used and to find where the differences lie between the individual groups, Fisher’s Least Significant Difference (LSD) post hoc test was carried out using IMB® SPSS Statistics®. It was found from the analysis that there is be a significant difference in the satisfaction among different age groups of women on the overall shopping experience of apparels buying and it was also found that there is be a significant difference on shopping experience among women in different professions.The findings of this research can be strategically implemented into apparel marketing scheme by apparel manufacturers and retailers.

This article describes burials of women at a Middle Bronze Age cemetery of Maytan—the only completely excavated Andronovo burial ground in the steppes of central Kazakhstan. On the basis of the location of ornaments in burials, an attempt is made to reconstruct details of costume with regard to age groups. The composition and arrangement of the individual elements of the costume indicate several decoration areas such as head; neck and chest; hands and feet. Exceptional areas are accessories (bags and boxes), belt, and lap of dress. Most ornaments mark the age category of women. There are two age groups: girls and adult women. Though many graves have been looted, a tentative reconstruction of the costume with regard to these groups is possible. Such a reconstruction is relevant to cultural tradition, ideas of beauty, and social status.

Green banking is different from traditional banking, as green banking focus on promoting environment friendly banking. Green banking is also known as ethical banking. This paper attempts to analyze the adoption of green banking products among customers with different age groups. ANOVA and post hoc tests are applied for analyzing the objectives. This paper finding explains that there is significant difference in the usage of green banking products across various age groups individuals, as young generation is more inclined towards green banking products than middle age and senior age groups. Therefore, more awareness is need to be created among the middle and senior age groups individuals.

The paper examines the motivational drivers behind the participation of Hungarian consumers on a special shopping event, also known as Glamour Days. The study encompasses a variety of related conceptualizations such as hedonic/utilitarian shopping values, self-gifting as well as impulsive buying practices. After the introduction of relevant consumer behaviour concepts and theoretical frameworks, the paper presents a qualitative research on adult and adolescent female consumers’ shopping experiences during Glamour Days. By building on phenomenological methodology, this study also portrays the ways this shopping event has changed consumer society within an originally strongly utilitarian attitude driven Hungarian culture. The phenomenological interview results highlight differences within the motivational drivers of pleasure-oriented shopping for the two age groups. For teenagers, the main motivation was related to the utilitarian aspect due to their financial dependence and the special opportunity to stand out of their peer group by joining an event that is exclusively held for adult women. On the other hand, adult women are motivated by combined hedonic and utilitarian values manifested in self-gifting and impulse buying within an effectively planned and managed shopping trip. Based on the results, retail specific strategies are provided along with future research directions.

Abstract Background The Cognitive Reserve (CR) is a concept used to represent the individual differences in processing cognitive tasks, allowing to cope with the pathology of the brain. CR describes the individual brain potential as a result of various activities during the lifespan. The study of this construct could open one more “door” on the path to the prevention of diseases associated with cognitive dysfunctions in human aging. The objective of this pilot study was to assess the CR as a part of a project aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various options for stimulating active aging. Methods The Cognitive Reserve Index Questionnaire (CRIq) was translated into Bulgarian and was administered to 114 healthy participants (84,2% female and 15,8% male), aged 23 to 84 years (M = 52,40 SD = 16.81), divided into three age groups (up to 44, 45- 69 and over 70 years old). An individual CRI-level was calculated based on the subscores for education, working activity and leisure time. Non-parametric tests (Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Kruskal-Wallis test) were used for statistical analysis. Findings The CRI-level depends significantly on age (χ2=31.834, (df = 6), p < 0.001) but does not depend on gender (p = 0.257). Significant difference was found in three age groups for the total CRI-score (p < 0.001), CRI-Education (p < 0.001) and CRI-WorkingActivity (p < 0.001) except for CRI-LeisureTime score (p = 0.547). The total CRI-score significantly correlate with CRI-Education (r = 0.863), CRI-WorkingActivity (r = 0.809) and CRI-LeaisureTime (r = 0.414). Key messages The CRIq is an easy to administer instrument that could help the assessment of the cognitive reserve in Bulgarian population. The cognitive reserve depends on human behavior through the life span and this fact gives new opportunities for prevention of diseases associated with cognitive dysfunctions in human aging.

Purpose To assess digital patient briefing as an alternative to conventional paper documentation. Materials and Methods 502 patients with a planned computed tomography (CT) examination were selected for digital patient briefing using the E-ConsentPro software from Thieme Compliance on an iPad by Apple (Cupertino, California, USA). For the analysis, three age groups were formed. The time required for the patient briefing, the number of open questions as well as the time needed for discussion with physicians were determined. Student’s t-test was performed to assess statistical significance. Results There was no significant difference between patient age and briefing time which was about 20 minutes on average. The number of open or unclear questions increased with patient age. While patients younger than 30 years of age had about 2 open questions, patients over 30 and 60 years had about 4 and 5 questions, respectively. The total time needed for discussion with physicians was less than 2 minutes on average. A significant difference in the time required for discussion with physicians could not be observed between the individual age groups. Conclusion Tablet-based digital briefing allows the storage of patient documents with reasonable time and effort. Furthermore, it minimizes the risk of data loss. Key Points  Citation Format

Purpose Velopharyngeal (VP) ratios are commonly used to study normal VP anatomy and normal VP function. An effective VP (EVP) ratio may be a more appropriate indicator of normal parameters for speech. The aims of this study are to examine if the VP ratio is preserved across the age span or if it varies with changes in the VP portal and to analyze if the EVP ratio is more stable across the age span. Method Magnetic resonance imaging was used to analyze VP variables of 270 participants. For statistical analysis, the participants were divided into the following groups based on age: infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Analyses of variance and a Games–Howell post hoc test were used to compare variables between groups. Results There was a statistically significant difference ( p < .05) in all measurements between the age groups. Pairwise comparisons reported statistically significant adjacent group differences ( p < .05) for velar length, VP ratio, effective velar length, adenoid depth, and pharyngeal depth. No statistically significant differences between adjacent age groups were reported for the EVP ratio. Conclusions Results from this study report the EVP ratio was not statistically significant between adjacent age groups, whereas the VP ratio was statistically significant between adjacent age groups. This study suggests that the EVP ratio is more correlated to VP function than the VP ratio and provides a more stable and consistent ratio of VP function across the age span.

Back pain is a common symptom that affects all age groups across the globe, when left untreated may eventually lead to disability. A convenient sample selection method was used in this study due to the global Covid-19 pandemic lockdown which was effective in Turkey during the investigation period. Thus, virtual data collection and health education including some health risks were employed. A total population of two hundred adult women was involved in the study but one hundred and twenty-one responses were collected. Findings show that, for socio-demographic characteristics, the pain was found highest in women between the ages of 41-50 and obese/overweight individuals. Although, there was no significant difference recorded in the marital status category. Moreover, statistical mean differences were detected between the scales for ODI (4.18) and BPFS (6.09). Also, p&lt;0.05, paired sample t-test was 0.001 ODI and 0.001 BPFS after the training exercise. This suggests that exercise training is inversely correlated with pain severity which implies that training has a significant influence on pain intensity. Thus, it could be concluded that there is a relationship between the training exercise and ODI/BPFS.

SUMMARY Purpose To study the effect of dentin age and adhesive composition on the microtensile dentin bond strengths (μTBS) of five dentin adhesives. Materials and Methods Sixty extracted caries-free human teeth were assigned to the appropriate age group: less than 21 years of age (&lt;21), 21–40 years of age (21–40), and greater than 40 years of age (&gt;40). For each age group, specimens were randomly divided into five dentin adhesives: (1) Adper Easy Bond (EB, 3M ESPE), a one-step self-etch adhesive; (2) Experimental Adper Easy Bond without the Vitrebond Co-polymer (CP) (EBnoCP, 3M ESPE); (3) Adper Single Bond Plus (SB, 3M ESPE), a two-step etch&rinse adhesive; (4) Experimental Adper Single Bond Plus without CP (SBnoCP, 3M ESPE); and (5) Adper Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (MP, 3M ESPE), a three-step etch&rinse adhesive, as the control group. Specimens were sectioned in X and Y directions and the resulting beams were tested to failure in tension mode at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Statistical analysis was computed using t-test and two-way analysis of variance followed by Fisher least significant difference multiple comparison post hoc test at p &lt; 0.05. Results The highest mean μTBS values were obtained in the control group (MP) for all age groups. EB resulted in statistically similar mean μTBS compared to EBnoCP for all age groups: p = 0.538 for (&lt;21); p = 0.974 for (21–40); and p = 0.909 for (&gt;40). SB resulted in statistically higher mean μTBS than SBnoCP for all age groups [p&lt;0.009 for (&lt;21); p&lt;0.028 for (21–40); and p&lt;0.041 for (&gt;40)]. MP, the control group, resulted in statistically lower mean μTBS when applied to the oldest age group (&gt;40) compared to the youngest age group (&lt;21), at p &lt; 0.04. When means were pooled for the variable ‘age group,' SB resulted in significantly higher mean μTBS than SBnoCP at p &lt; 0.009, while EB resulted in statistically similar mean μTBS compared to EBnoCP (p=0.9). MP resulted in statistically higher mean μTBS than all other adhesives—SB (p&lt;0.0001), SBnoCP (p&lt;0.0001), EBnoCP (p&lt;0.022), and EB (p&lt;0.046). Conclusions The substrate age influenced the bonding ability of the three-step etch&rinse adhesive. The presence of a carboxylic-based polymer (CP) enhanced the bonding ability of the two-step etch&rinse adhesive.

The purpose of this study is to examine the leadership characteristics of amateur soccer players in terms of positions and some variables. 300 amateur soccer players playing in different clubs in the districts and the city centre of the province of Samsun were included in the study. A personal information form was given to subjects to find out their positions and some variables and Leadership Scale for Sport which was developed by Chelladurai and Saleh (1980) and which included 40 items and five subscales (training and instruction, democratic behaviour, social support, positive feedback and autocratic behaviour) was used to find out leadership levels. SPSS 22.0 program was used in the statistical analysis of the study. When the results of the study were examined, statistically significant difference was found only in positive feedback subscale when the subjects’ leadership levels were compared according to age groups and education levels (p<0.05), while no significance was found in other subscales (p>0.05). When leadership levels were compared in terms of the total period of time they played soccer, their positions, the number of clubs they played for and the state of being the captain, no statistical significance was found in all of the subscales (p>0.05). As a conclusion, it can be seen that leadership levels of soccer players did not differ according to positions, the state of being the captain, the total period of time they played soccer and the number of clubs they played for, while positive feedback was found to develop positively only as age and the state of education increased.

Abstract Background In this study, we retrospectively summarized the differences of molecular gene mutations between MDS and AML patients, as well as the young and older age groups of MDS and AML patients. We also analyzed the response of newly diagnosed AML patients to standard DA or IA induction chemotherapy and the relationship between the chemotherapy outcome and the frequency of different gene mutation abnormalities. Methods NGS assay covering 43 genes was studied in 93 de novo MDS and 325 non-M3 AML patients. Bone marrow samples from all patients underwent gene mutational analysis by NGS. Results At least one non-synonymous gene mutation was detected in 279 AML patients (85.8%) and 85 MDS patients (91.4%). Contrary to 59 years and younger AML patients, there was a significantly higher incidence of gene mutation in 60 years and older AML patients (2.37 vs 1.94, p = 0.034). Gene mutation incidence in 60 years and older MDS patients increased, but no statistical significance was present (1.95 vs 1.64, p = 0.216). AML patients had a significantly higher gene mutation incidence compared with MDS-MLD patients (2.02 vs 1.63, p = 0.046). Gene mutation incidence was higher in patients with MDS-EB1/EB2 compared with patients with MDS-MLD but there was no statistical significance present (2.14 vs 1.63, p = 0.081). AML patients had significantly higher incidences of CEBPA, FLT3-ITD, DNMT3A, NPM1 and IDH1/2 gene mutations (p = 0.0043, 0.000, 0.030962, 0.002752, and 0.000628, respectively) and a lower incidence of TET2 and U2AF1 gene mutations (p = 0.000004 and 0.000, respectively) compared with MDS patients. Among the individual genes in different age groups, there were significantly higher incidences of RUNX1, IDH2, TP53 and SF3B1 gene mutations (p = 0.0478, 0.0028, 0.0024 and 0.005, respectively) as well as a trend of higher ASXL gene mutation (p = 0.057) in 60 years and older AML patients compared to 59 years and younger patients. There was no statistically significant difference in MDS patients with the different age groups and among the individual genes. Between AML patients and MDS patients among the different gene functional groups, AML patients had a significantly higher incidence of transcriptional deregulation (27.4% vs 15.1%, p = 0.014963), activated signalling (36.3% vs 10.8%, p = 0.000002) related gene mutations as well as a significantly lower incidence of RNA spliceosome (6.15% vs 60.1%, p = 0.000) related gene mutations. Furthermore, among the patients who received either IA or DA regimen for induction chemotherapy, patients with IA regimen had a significantly better CR rate than those with DA regimen (76.6% vs 57.1%, p = 0.0228). Conclusions Different gene mutations had been found in majority of MDS and AML patients. MDS and AML patients had different gene mutation patterns. AML patients with fewer or no gene mutations had a better chance of achieving CR when treated with IA and DA regimen induction chemotherapy.
