The Effect of Trustworthiness, Attractiveness, Expertise, and Popularity of Celebrity Endorsement

This study aims to determine the impact of trust, attractiveness, expertise, and popularity (Suhay Salim) celebrity endorsement on the purchasing decisions of Korean skincare brand "Some By Mi" in Indonesia. The research method used in this research is quantitative research. Data was collected through an online questionnaire. This study involved 250 respondents who had bought and tried several skincare products "Some By Mi". Purposive sampling is used as a sampling strategy in this study, which uses a non-probability sampling methodology. Data collected from online questionnaires were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression using SPSS 21.0 for Windows. The findings reveal that the trustworthiness, attractiveness, expertise, and popularity of celebrity endorsement Suhay Salim significantly and positively influence the public purchasing decision of Korean skincare brand ““Some By Mi”” partially.

The Ups and Downs of Being Us: Cross-Relationship Comparisons in Daily Life

Cross-relationship comparisons are an integral part of relationship processes, yet little is known about the impact of these comparisons in daily life. The present research employed a dyadic experience-sampling methodology ( N = 78 couples) with end-of-day surveys, end-of-week follow-up, and a 6-month follow-up to examine how individuals make cross-relationship comparisons in daily life, the cumulative impact of these comparisons over time, and the dyadic consequences of such comparisons. Participants made more downward than upward comparisons; however, upward comparisons had a more lasting impact, resulting in decreased satisfaction and optimism, and less positive self-perceptions and partner perceptions, at the end of each day and the week. Individuals who made more upward comparisons were also less satisfied 6 months later. Individuals were also affected by their partner’s comparisons: On days when partners made more upward comparisons, they felt less satisfied and optimistic about their relationship and less positive about themselves and their partner.

P-L13 Proposed sampling methodology for improved accuracy of hepatic burden assessment in neuroendocrine tumours

Background Hepatic burden is a significant confounder in the assessment of impact of primary tumour resection in metastatic small bowel neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NET). For SI-NET metastatic hepatic burden >10% disease replacement or > 5 hepatic metastases are known prognostic markers, though nomograms and scores do not adequately account for this. Most trials do not adequately account for hepatic burden when assessing the survival difference between SI-NET primary tumour resection and no resection. We propose a sampling methodology to more accurately assess metastatic liver burden in SI-NET and correlate with delayed resection vs. upfront primary tumour resection at a specialist NET surgical unit. Methods Patients referred for metastatic SI-NET between January 2003 and February 2020 were identified from a prospective dataset. The earliest CT scan after diagnosis was used. The axial, coronal and sagittal slice position limits of the whole liver were recorded. These limits allowed equitable slice position of the liver, with 8 equally distributed axial, 4 equally distributed coronal and 4 equally distributed sagittal slices. Each slice was used to define the liver and metastatic area as assessed using liver CT windows. Liver burden was estimated as percentage total metastatic area summed from all 8 axial, 4 coronal and 4 sagittal slices. Results 157 total patients were on the collated data base and 46 patients were identified with an appropriate CT. Liver burden was positively skewed. Liver burden was significantly higher for delayed resection vs. upfront resection in all planes of assessment (axial: 11.61% vs. 0.14%, p = 0.003; coronal: 13.46% vs. 0.33%, p = 0.006; sagittal: 10.46% vs. 0.16%, p = 0.008). All planar assessments correlated well with one another (all Kendall’s tau ≥0.851, all p < 0.001). Liver metastatic burden correlated with total liver volume (Kendall’s tau 0.549-0.573, all p < 0.001). Conclusions Hepatic burden differs between resection groups in a small sample at our centre, highlighting the unmeasured confounders favouring primary tumour resection via positive bias. Therefore, hepatic burden needs quantifying in prospective studies that assess primary tumour resection in SI-NET. This is to ensure comparable groups after randomisation. Our method provides an assessment of this metastatic SI-NET liver burden.

PENGARUH WORK FROM HOME TERHADAP KINERJA KARYAWAN DI MASA PANDEMI COVID 19

Working from home (WFH) has been implemented at PT. Sakti Mandiri Gifari Makassar in order to investigate the impact of WFH on employee performance and employee performance procedures during the influenza epidemic. The descriptive quantitative methodologies were used in this study, and a sample of 113 respondents from PT. Sakti Mandiri Gifari Makassar was selected using a random sampling methodology for the study. On the basis of the findings of the descriptive statistical test analysis, the data validity test, and the regression analysis, it can be concluded that Work from Home (WFH) has a high link with employee performance (t = 4.757) and has a statistically significant effect (p = 0.000). As a result, in this analysis, we accept Ha and reject HO, which indicates that the WFH variable (X) has a statistically significant effect on the employee performance variable (Y).
