Identifying stakeholder preferences for communicating impact from medical research: a mixed methods study

BackgroundDocumentation of research outcomes using impact case studies (ICS) is increasingly required to demonstrate the wider societal benefits of research. However, there is limited evidence of the best way to communicate research outcomes using ICS, especially when highlighting research impact that is not part of a research assessment programme. This study aims, for the first time, to analyse expectations, and methods of communicating impact from medical research across a varied set of stakeholders relevant to the Medical Research Council (MRC).MethodsImpact narratives about outcomes and impact from MRC research were evaluated using an online survey and in depth semi-structured interviews. Participants were recruited from internal MRC databases and included early career and senior management academics as well as representatives from industry, healthcare, charities, and the government. Informed consent was gained prior to data collection and the study was approved by the university’s research ethics committee. Qualitative and quantitative analysis determined stakeholder preferences for ICS content, language and presentation as well as capturing themes and perspectives on the concept of research impact.Results193 participants responded to the online survey exploring definitions of impact and methods of communicating medical research outcomes. The work uncovered expectations of improved health and wellbeing as well as knowledge generation via publications and citations. In depth interviews with sixteen participants demonstrated preferences for clear, easy to read content that focused on facts and evidence and avoided both academic and hyperbolic language. Emergent themes from this work revealed that ICS need to quickly capture imagination and grab attention, while the views and expectations are quite different to press releases and are audience specific.ConclusionsThe content of ICS often focuses on non-academic impacts; however this work highlighted that evidence of academic impacts were outcomes highly valued by stakeholders relevant to the MRC. This work examined a new typology of ICS attributes, which emphasised that the language and presentation of impact narratives can influence the perception of research outcomes, providing useful information for individuals and organisations using ICS to showcase their research. It also shows that if ICS attempt to communicate challenges and issues around achieving impact from research, they may be more credible and useful to their intended audience.

The Role of the Aesthetic Function in Printed Ecological Advertising

The aesthetic dimension in ecological advertising plays a crucial role in establishing an emotional connection between the audience and environmental issues, stimulating involvement and commitment to conservation efforts. The aesthetic function embedded in ecological advertising serves as a foundation for raising awareness and mobilizing the public regarding environmental issues. This aesthetic approach fosters deep emotional connections, motivating active involvement in environmental initiatives and significantly contributing to leaving a lasting impression and focusing attention on the ecological message conveyed. The use of visually captivating imagery, including landscapes and vibrant colors, grabs attention and sparks curiosity among viewers. Their distinctive style, together with origindesign elements, elevates them to an artistic level, enriching their impact and resonance. Ecological advertising draws inspiration from diverse aesthetic influences, similar to those found in fine art, with deliberate reinterpretations and realignments to serve its purpose. Adherence to fundamental design principles ensures impactful and memorable ecological advertising campaigns. By presenting aesthetic means, namely disturbing aspects of environmental degradation, ecological ads can evoke a strong emotional response among the audience, prompting them to take action or support initiatives for nature conservation. However, it is essential for such imagery to be used judiciously and accompanied by messages/texts that provide solutions or inspire hope and positive action in the face of environmental issues. We will observe how techniques like unity, harmony, and balance, along with intentional emphasis and contrast, enhance the effectiveness of ecological advertising in conveying its message to the public.

Graphene-based field-effect transistors for biosensing: where is the field heading to?

Two-dimensional (2D) materials hold great promise for future applications, notably their use as biosensing channels in thefield-effect transistor (FET) configuration. On the road to implementing one of the most widely used 2D materials, graphene, in FETs for biosensing, key issues such as operation conditions, sensitivity, selectivity, reportability, and economic viability have to be considered and addressed correctly. As the detection of bioreceptor-analyte binding events using a graphene-based FET (gFET) biosensor transducer is due to either graphene doping and/or electrostatic gating effects with resulting modulation of the electrical transistor characteristics, the gFET configuration as well as the surface ligands to be used have an important influence on the sensor performance. While the use of back-gating still grabs attention among the sensor community, top-gated and liquid-gated versions have started to dominate this area. The latest efforts on gFET designs for the sensing of nucleic acids, proteins and virus particles in different biofluids are presented herewith, highlighting the strategies presently engaged around gFET design and choosing the right bioreceptor for relevant biomarkers.

Darwinian Bases of Religious Meaning: Interactionism, General Interpretive Theories, and 6E Cognitive Science

Abstract Interactionism holds that explanatory and interpretive projects are mutually enriching. If so, then the evolutionary and cognitive science of religions’ explanatory theories should aid interpretive projects concerning religious meaning. Although interpretive accounts typically focus on the local and the particular, interpreters over the past century have construed Freud and Marx as offering general interpretive theories. So, precedent for general interpretive theorizing exists. 4E cognitive science, which champions how cognition is embedded in natural and cultural settings, extended into external structures, enacted via motor routines, and embodied via representations rooted in human bodily form, has encouraged interpretive researchers. Theories of embodied cognition especially have embraced a sweeping view of meaning that attends to the emotions’ role and to their evolutionary origins. That inspires a 6E cognitive science that attends to the emotional and evolved dimensions of cognition too and opens up the possibility of general interpretive theories of broadly Darwinian character. Evolved cognitive systems qualify as maturationally natural cognition, which exhibits a distinctive constellation of features. The by-product theory holds that religious representations’ engagement of maturationally natural cognition fosters religions’ success. Representations with some minimal violation of intuitive expectations concerning some ontological category grab attention, stick in memory, and preserve the many automatic inferences accompanying the category. The empirical evidence for this and other elaborations of the by-product view suggests that it discloses dynamics of evolved cognition and associated emotions that tend to guide the pursuit of religious meanings systematically toward well-worn grooves in the semantic landscape.

Attention Trajectories Capture Utility Accumulation and Predict Brand Choice

Trajectories of attention capture the accumulation of brand utility during complex decision-making tasks. Thus, attention trajectories, as reflected in eye movements, predict the final brand choice of 85% of consumers before they implement it. Even when observing eye movements in only the first quarter of the decision process, attention already predicts brand choice much better (45%) than chance levels (20%). This superior prediction performance is due to a “double attention lift” for the chosen brand: The chosen brand receives progressively more attention toward the moment of choice, and more of this attention is devoted to integrating information about the brand rather than to comparing it with other options. In contrast, the currently owned brand grabs attention early in the task, and its attention gain persists for brand-loyal consumers and shifts for brand-switching consumers. A new attention and choice model used in tandem with the Bayesian K-fold cross-validation methodology on eye-tracking data from 325 representative consumers uncovered these attention trajectory effects. The findings contribute to closing important knowledge gaps in the attention and choice literature and have implications for marketing research and managerial practice.

Atomic-level tailoring ZnxCd1-xS photocatalysts: a paradigm for bridging structure-performance relationship toward solar chemical production

Photocatalysis is deemed to be a prominent route to achieve sustainable energy production and promote environmental remediation through solar-to-chemical reactions, such as water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction. However, the large-scale photocatalysis is yet to be realized as photocatalysts are typically restrained by severe photocorrosion and limited light absorption ability. In the recent five years, zinc cadmium sulfide (ZCS) grabs attention of the researchers due to its fascinating flexibility in tuning its electrical and optical properties through structural modifications and morphology alterations. Efforts were put into identifying feasible modifications to further strengthen its light harvesting property and appropriate band structures. Herein, the refinement strategies are reviewed in detail, with the focus on pristine ZCS modifications and heterojunction formation through the coupling of various semiconductors or cocatalysts that endow improved light responses, band alignments and stability. Insights into the structure-function relationship of the ZCS photocatalysts will be unraveled to determine the key improvements of the performances. Challenges and new perspectives in the realm of photocatalysis are also revealed to propel the advancement of light-driven reactions in parallel to the effort of establishing global sustainable goals for a greener future.

Taxonomic and functional profiling of Indian smokeless tobacco bacteriome uncovers several bacterial-derived risks to human health.

Smokeless tobacco (ST) consumption keeps human oral health at high risk which is one of the major reasons for oral tumorigenesis. The chemical constituents of the ST products have been well discussed; however, the inhabitant microbial diversity of the ST products is less explored especially from south Asian regions. Therefore, the present investigation discusses the bacteriome-based analysis of indigenous tobacco products. The study relies on 16S amplicon-based bacteriome analysis of Indian smokeless tobacco (ST) products using a metagenomic approach. A total of 59,15,143 high-quality reads were assigned to 34 phyla, 82 classes, 176 orders, 256 families, 356 genera, and 154 species using the SILVA database. Of the phyla (> 1%), Firmicutes dominate among the Indian smokeless tobacco followed by Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria (> 1%). Whereas, at the genera level (> 1%), Lysinibacillus, Dickeya, Terribacillus, and Bacillus dominate. The comparative analysis between the loose tobacco (LT) and commercial tobacco (CT) groups showed no significant difference at the phyla level, however, only three genera (Bacillus, Aerococcus, and Halomonas) were identified as significantly different between the groups. It indicates that CT and LT tobacco share similar bacterial diversity and poses equal health risks to human oral health. The phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt 2.0) based analysis uncovered several genes involved in nitrate/nitrite reduction, biofilm formation, and pro-inflammation that find roles in oral pathogenesis including oral cancer. The strong correlation analysis of these genes with several pathogenic bacteria suggests that tobacco products pose a high bacterial-derived riskto human health. The study paves the way to understand the bacterial diversity of Indian smokeless tobacco products and their putative functions with respect to human oral health. The study grabs attention to the bacterial diversity of the smokeless tobacco products from a country where tobacco consumers are rampantly prevalent however oral health is of least concern.

Incivility Diminishes Interest in What Politicians Have to Say.

Incivility is prevalent in society suggesting a potential benefit. Within politics, theorists and strategists often claim incivility grabs attention and stokes interest in what a politician has to say. In contrast, we propose incivility diminishes overall interest in what a politician has to say because people find the incivility morally distasteful. Studies 1a and 1b examined the relationship between uncivil language and followership in the Twitter feeds of Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden, finding incivility reduced their following on the platform. In Studies 2-3, we manipulated how uncivil a number of politicians were and found that incivility consistently depressed interest in what they had to say. These effects of incivility are generalized to both political allies and opponents. Observers' moral disapproval of the incivility mediated the diminished interest, suppressing the attention-grabbing nature of incivility. Altogether, our findings indicate that the public reacts more negatively to political incivility than previously thought.

Economic Results of The Karabakh War: Plundering in The Territories of Azerbaijan During The Occupation Period

Among the causes of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, economic interests are as important as political motives. The economic damage caused by Armenia to Azerbaijan from 1991 to 2020 is examined in the article "The economic consequences of the Karabakh war - plundering of Azerbaijani lands during the occupation". The article covers the fact of looting of energy, mining and agriculture resources in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan by the administrators of the official Yerevan and the fictional Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. At the same time, during the 29-year occupation period, companies affiliated to the Armenian stade operating outside the country have gained unfair profits in high amountsby colonizing the lands in Nagorno-Karabakh. Colonial activities of Armenia in Karabakh were not limited to this, at the same time, they used Azerbaijan's airspace illegally by resorting to demographic changes. As a result of the transfer of Azerbaijani resources to foreign business owners, conditions were provided for countries such as Russia, USA, India, Sweden, Lebanon, England, Germany and France to position their companies in Karabakh. During and after the occupation period, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev repeatedly called the relevant authorities for a legal assessment within the relevant international authorities and mechanisms, and grab attention to the plundering and illegal use of the occupied Azerbaijani lands. The aim of the article is to convey the above-mentioned facts to the world public opinion and to create a bibliography so that scholars can make a legal assessment of the regular and endless crimes committed by Armenia. As a result of the investigation, an attempt was made to bring together Armenia and allied companies which are doing business in Karabakh during the occupation process.

APPLICATION OF HYBRID SFLA AND ACO ALGORITHM TO OMEGA PLATE FOR DRILLING PROCESS PLANNING AND COST MANAGEMENT

<p>Tool traveling and tool switching time constitute almost seventy percent (70%) of the total time<br />consumed in drilling process. This fact that 70% of the total time is nonproductive and does not add any value to the job, grabs attention of the researchers and the industrialist for optimization. A literature on drilling process revealed that very few studies have been done on hybridization of metaheuristics for optimization of tool travel time. This research gap is the motivation of the present study. In this study, two metaheuristic approaches – the shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) and ant colony optimization (ACO) were hybridized. With respect to hybridization of SFLA and ACO, this study signifies its originality and novelty in which main objective is to minimize the tool travel time. The literature review also revealed that the shortest path generated through commercially available software is not optimal all the time. This aspect emphasizes the application of metaheuristic algorithms on the real-world industrial problems. In this study, the proposed hybrid algorithm was applied to drilling of omega plate which is used in automobile manufacturing industry. The results of the proposed hybrid algorithm were compared with those of manual drilling path and software generated path. The results obtained through proposed hybrid algorithm were improved by 11.1% when compared to results of manual drilling path. The results of proposed algorithm were also better than results of commercial software Creo 6.0 and Siemens NX by 5.9% each. This showed that hybrid algorithm outperformed the commercially available software. This not only validates the efficacy of proposed hybrid algorithm, but also indicates the significance of the metaheuristic algorithm applications in industrial optimization problems.</p>

Exploring the Impact of Economic Structure on Carbon Emissions: A Case Study of Pakistan

Climate change has marked its effects on Pakistan in form of different problems like floods, droughts, change in crop patterns, heat waves, changes in weather conditions and health issues. One of the reason of climate change is environmental degradation that’s why several studies are conducted in case of Pakistan to examine the factors of environmental degradation. This study also explores the factors of environmental degradation for Pakistan and is unique study as so for none of the empirical studies conducted in context of Pakistan analyzed the effect of economic structure on environmental degradation. So, the prime objective of this study is to explore the impact of economic structure on environmental degradation. The economic structure for Pakistan’s economy is being captured through agriculture, industrial and service sector over the years. As energy and trade openness grab attention from researchers in examining factors of environmental degradation thus; energy consumption and trade openness are introduced in the study model as control variables. Once order of integration of time series data is determined, long run relationship is found through bound testing approach. Agricultural and service sector are found to have negative impact on environmental degradation but; service sector has insignificant effect on environmental degradation. The industrial sector is aggravating environmental degradation in long run but; is abstaining environmental degradation in short run. Hence; the different effect of industrial sector on environmental degradation in long run and short run is providing the opportunity for policy makers to come up with different policy measure for long run and short run. Energy is found to have positive and significant effect on environmental degradation in both time spans whereas trade openness has negative and significant effect on environmental degradation in long run. Policy implications are suggested on basis of findings of this study for Pakistan.

The aggregation of 1,3,4-thiadiazole based Hockey stick shaped Mesogen in Langmuir-Blodgett thin film in comparison to that of 1,3,4-oxadiazole

Bent Core Mesogens are remarkably interesting achiral Liquid Crystals. These grab attention for their utility. The compound, taken for investigation, is a Schiff base addition product, composed of 2-(4β-aminophenyl)-5-(4?β-butyloxyphenyl)-1,3,4- thiadiazole and 4-n-hexadecyloxy salicylaldehyde. The property of this imine derivative is in accordance with liquid crystal and is a Bent Core Mesogen (BCM). The thin layers were prepared with the help of Langmuir-Blodgett apparatus. The morphology and photo-physical characteristics of thin films were examined in comparison to similar BCM derivative of 1,3,4-Oxadiazole. The expectation was the formation of monolayer of molecules on the substrate. Practically there were layer of clusters on the substrate. Both molecules form nano clusters. The typically different aggregates by the thiadiazole moiety in comparison to oxadiazole moiety are revealed. Cluster formation is also supported by the Atomic Force Microscopic (AFM) images.

A Study of the Effectiveness of Sponsored Ads on Social Media Platforms

Surviving in the cut-throat marketing strategies is a challenging task for the marketers. Not only theoretically but also in practice social media networks are every second changing platforms. Every second the news get updated so as the people. In such a fast changing environment and among a great competition it is the pro-activeness of the company to advertise the company’s product and grab attention through social media as well with other marketing tools. Almost 3 out of 5 person use social media on daily basis and creativity factors gave an incredible contribution for the grabbing attention of the users towards the ads. Research paper suggests the ways of creative elements that will contribute to generate the presence of the brand and its identification on social media platform. A relation between the demographic variables and their impact on the effectiveness of such ads. There is a brief description about the findings which shows that there no much impact of demographic factors on the opinion about the effect of sponsored ads and its impact. An initiative of this paper to make designers understand the preference of the social media users and the various findings help them to make their design more compatible for social media\ frequency analysis and chi-square test are used to get these findings.

Stability Efficiencies of POSS and Microalgae Extracts on the Durability of Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Monomer Based Hybrids.

The EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer) hybrids with improved thermal and radiation strengths containing 1 and 5 phr of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (vinyl-POSS, Ov-POSS) and/or 2 phr of microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris (CV) and Spirulina platensis (SP)) powders were investigated in respect to their thermal stability after γ-irradiation. The material durability under accelerated degradation was qualified by chemiluminescence and gelation, which prove the contribution of inorganic filler and microalgae extracts on the increase of hybrid thermal stability, as well as the interaction between added components (POSS and CV or SP). The activation energies and the durabilities under accelerated degradation were calculated, indicating their suitable usage as appropriate materials in various applications. The reported results indicate the improvement effect of both microalgal powders on the oxidation strength, but the contribution of Spirulina platensis grabs attention on its efficient effects upon the prevention of degradation under accelerated aging conditions. The thermal performances of the tested EPDM based hybrids are remarkably ameliorated, if the certain formulation includes Ov-POSS (5 phr) and Spirulina platensis (2 phr), certifying its suitability for the pertinent applications.

Visual cues associated with sweet taste increase short-term eating and grab attention in healthy volunteers

Most studies that examine responses to food cues use images of actual foods as stimuli. Since foods are rewarding in multiple ways, it then becomes difficult to try and partial out the role of the importance of different aspects of food reward. Here we aimed to evaluate the impact of novel visual cues specifically associated with the immediate sensory reward from a liked sweet taste. In the training phase, one visual cue (CSsweet) was associated with the experience of sweet taste (10%sucrose) and a second, control cue (CSneutral) with a neutral taste (artificial saliva) using a disguised training procedure. In Experiment 1, participants (n = 45) were given an ad libitum snack intake test 30 min post-training, either labelled with CSsweet or CSneutral. Total caloric consumption was significantly higher in the CSsweet (650 ± 47 kcal) than CSneutral (477 ± 45 kcal) condition, but ratings of liking for the snacks did not differ significantly between conditions. In Experiment 2, participants (n = 80) exhibited an overall attentional bias (22.1 ± 9.9 ms) for the CSsweet relative to CSneutral cue (assessed using a dot-probe task), however rated liking for the CSsweet did not change significantly after cue-sweet training. Likewise, measures of expected satiety for drinks labelled with CSsweet did not differ significantly from CSneutral. Overall these two experiments provide evidence that associations between neutral visual cues and the experience of a liked sweet taste leads to cue-potentiated eating in the presence of the CSsweet cue. With no evidence that cue-sweet training altered rated liking for the visual cues, and in keeping with extant literature on the dissociation of hedonic and rewarding properties of food rewards, we propose this potentiation effect to reflect increased incentive salience.

“Does Anybody Have A Map?”: The Impact of “Virtual Broadway” on Musical Theater Composition

IMPACT OF THE VISUAL DESIGN LANGUAGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA ADVERTISEMENTS ON CONSUMER PERCEPTIONS

There are plenty of ways to promote or sell a product, service, idea or an event, and only recently, there has been a surge in research that proves that visual aesthetics and design play a vital role in making an advertisement appealing or attractive to the consumer to buy or use.
 The key purpose of this paper is to establish the principles or a framework that an advertiser keeps in mind while trying to appeal to the consumer’s perception of a brand offering. It shows how important visual design and imageries are in impacting the minds of the consumer. The people in the market are smart and they are able to identify the elements and traits in a design that makes it more appealing to them. And therefore, if a product’s communication appeals to its consumers, they are bound to purchase the said offering. Hence this study becomes very important for the brands, advertisers and the marketing industry as it tells them what makes their communications more attractive to their customers. Thus, the paper investigates how a customer’s opinion impacts their perception about the visual designs presented in the study.
 The study allows the people of the sample group to pick their favoured design out of the options given based on a particular principal of design. The sample group is henceforth tested on various other principles of design theory and hence we establish the level of understanding the group possesses towards design and aesthetics of any product. 
 The findings from empirical analysis indicates that visual designs of various ads tend to play a vital role when it comes to swaying the perception of consumers. 
 In was particularly observed in research that perceptive “matching” of target segment needs (desiring product being presented in a visually pleasing manner) and visual properties utilized in adverts (verbal or visual predominately) seems to be vital. 
 The utilization of images/visual design has an impact on the consumer’s perception as it is able to uplift recall value, motivate their attitude toward company’s promoted objects, and therefore harness their psychological intentions. Visual communication grabs attention as adverts have become so meta and complex in its efforts to use design & aesthetics to persuade customers and seize their focus.

Elucidating the plasticizing effect on mechanical and thermal properties of poly(lactic acid)/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable plastic and grabs attention in several applications such as biomedical implantation, film, packaging and clothing. Instead, PLA itself has a characteristic of brittleness, resulting in poor mechanical properties, and its slow ability in degradation leads to waste disposal problem. The present research aims to develop material in such a way to have a good combination of properties and optimum degradation ability. The PLA nanocomposites were prepared via melt blending that consisted of two types of carbon nanotubes (CNTs): unmodified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and modified CNTs (mCNTs). The effect of 5 wt% poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) as plasticizer on nanocomposites with CNTs material loading at 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, 1.5 wt% and 2.0 wt% was studied. The analysis of physical properties was done using hardness testing and melt flow index (MFI). Neat PLA only gave around 69.0–77.6 Shore D in hardness test, while MFI exhibited around 36.1–39.4 g/10 min. PLA/mCNTs and PLA/PEG/mCNTs at 1.5 wt% exhibited the highest values of hardness testing which were 86.0 and 85.9 Shore D, respectively. In MFI study, the results were 70.0 g/10 min for PLA/mCNTs and 80.3 g/10 min for PLA/PEG/mCNTs. This proved that the PEG is useful in reducing the brittleness of nanocomposite. The full exfoliation of CNTs and mCNTs in the matrix observed from the X-ray diffraction analysis supported the excellent hardness and MFI properties. These nanocomposites also showed high thermal stability as obtained from differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis studies compared with neat PLA. The morphology study by field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis confirmed these findings through the existence of a smooth fracture surface, especially when PEG was loaded as evidence of good distribution of nanofiller in the matrix was established. Based on all analyses done, PLA/PEG/mCNTs were chosen as the good nanocomposite among others.
