Pathway of Online Impulsive Buying Tendency Research (2007-2024): Bibliometric Analysis

The goals of this study were to assess the body of knowledge about the propensity for online impulsive purchasing, to rectify the shortcomings of past reviews, and to provide academics and industry professionals with an up-to-date, thorough overview of the state of research in the field of online impulse buying tendency. We employed bibliometric analysis approaches to analyze the body of literature on online impulsive purchasing propensity. It was useful for summarizing data through significant contributions, the most prolific writer, the most powerful organization, output within a specific time frame, the rise of keywords, and so on. Article searches were conducted using the Scopus database from 2007 until 2024. The number of studies undertaken in this sector has significantly increased in recent years, as evidenced by bibliometric studies, with China and the United States being the leading contributors. The literature frequently mentioned hedonistic consumption habits, the impact of social media, website design, and promotion. Future studies should look more closely at how emerging technologies like virtual reality and artificial intelligence affect impulsive purchasing behaviour. More comprehensive insights could also be obtained by conducting in-depth studies on cultural variations and the ways in which cultural elements influence impulsive internet purchases.

6469 Supplement Misadventures: A Case Of Acute Heart Failure, Cardiogenic Shock, And Hormonal Dysregulation Secondary To Surreptitious Use Of Multiple Hormonal Supplements

Abstract Disclosure: K.N. Grennan: None. S. Thota-Kammili: None. A.L. McKenna: None. C.G. Coyle: None. S.L. Samson: None. Introduction: Supplement misuse in the bodybuilding community is prevalent. With the availability of internet ordering and purchasing, patients have access to hormonal supplements without prescription or regulation. Here we present the case of a patient on self-administered hormonal supplements who presented in acute heart failure leading to cardiogenic shock in the setting of concurrent thyroid, adrenal, and gonadal axis dysfunction. Case Description: A 28-year-old male with no significant medical history was transferred to our hospital after presenting to an outside emergency room with dyspnea, cough, nausea, and a subjective fever. He developed acute hypoxic respiratory failure requiring intubation. Echocardiogram performed showed an ejection fraction (EF) of 10%. He was started on two vasopressors and methylprednisolone 1 g daily for two days, due to concern for myocarditis versus giant cell arteritis. Hormonal work-up showed TSH 0.02 mIU/L (normal range 0.3-4.2), free T4 0.4 ng/dL (0.9-1.7), total T3 48 ng/dL (80-200), FSH <0.3 IU/L (1.2-15.8), LH <0.2 IU/L (1.3-9.6), ACTH <5.0 pg/mL (7.2-63), cortisol 1.7 mcg/dL (2.5-12), estradiol 171 pg/mL (8.0-35), total testosterone 1730 ng/dL (240-950), and prolactin 47 ng/mL (4.0-15.2). He received 10 mg dexamethasone at the outside facility. A medication bag found by his family included online purchases of non-prescribed testosterone cypionate and enanthate, liothyronine, anastrozole, and clomiphene. None were medical grade. He was also taking the anabolic steroid clenbuterol for 3 days prior. Echocardiogram on day 3 of admission showed an improved EF of 36%. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a papillary fibroelastoma and myocarditis. Patient was weaned off vasopressors and the ventilator. He was discharged on levothyroxine 50 mcg daily and hydrocortisone 10 mg twice daily for outpatient reassessment. Transesophageal echocardiogram confirmed diagnosis of papillary fibroelastoma. One month Endocrinology clinic follow-up showed no evidence of posterior pituitary, thyroid, or adrenal axis dysfunction or growth hormone excess, but he continued to have gonadal axis suppression with elevated prolactin and estradiol, the latter thought to be secondary to conversion from testosterone. Pituitary MRI showed no micro or macroadenoma. His EF recovered to 50%. He is pending surgical removal of the aortic valve fibroelastoma. Discussion: With hormonal supplements easily accessible online, it is important for physicians to counsel patients about the dangers of misuse. This case highlights a previously healthy 28-year-old man who presented in critical condition with cardiogenic shock and hypothalamic-pituitary axis dysfunction from supplements he purchased online. There should be targeted educational interventions regarding the harm of supplements aimed at the bodybuilding community to prevent similar cases. Presentation: 6/2/2024

Understanding Zillennials Consumer Green Behavior of Reducing Plastic Bag Use through the Theory of Planned and Interpersonal Behavior

Adopting cloth bags over single-use plastic bags is a significant consumer behavior. Employing the theory of of planned and interpersonal behavior, this study aimed to understand the relationship between customers' intentions to use cloth bags and their awareness of the environmental impact of plastic bags. Through purposive sampling, 277 individuals born after 1980 and making at least one to three in-person retail and Internet purchases each month were selected as participants. The data were processed using descriptive and quantitative analysis tools using SEM (Structural Equation Model) analysis. The findings reveal that creating the next generation of habit bags can significantly enhance social awareness of plastic bag usage and the environment. However, no evidence suggests that the EAPB increases the intention to use cloth bags. The more the SP and SBPB intervene, the more the IUCB contributes to changing consumer behavior to use fewer plastic bags. Therefore, Habit Bag Use can positively influence pro-environmental behavior, as this study combined the theory of Interpersonal Behavior and the theory of Planned Behavior. These results contribute to the theoretical framework for understanding how the millennial generation's interpersonal conduct, reflected in their bag-using behaviors, influences their behavior in minimizing plastic bag usage. These findings imply that the adoption of single-use or non-plastic bag habits can motivate people to reduce their usage of plastic bags, a behavior that is further encouraged by laws prohibiting the use of plastic bags.

“CUSTOMER PERCEPTION TOWARDS DIGITAL TRANSACTION’’

This study explores the aspects that impact customers' perspectives and actions about internet purchases in this dynamic economy. From a comprehensive literature review, this research synthesises crucial themes such as user experience, trust, perceived risk, convenience, socio-demographic factors, regulatory environment, cultural effects, and future developments. Results show that efficiency and convenience, rather than worries about security, are the main motivators for people to use digital transactions. Trust appears to be a crucial component as well, and it is heavily influenced by user experience and the reputation of service providers. Consumer attitudes are made more complicated by a number of socio-demographic criteria, including age, income, and digital literacy. Elements such as social shifts away from cash-based economies, technological advancements, legal frameworks, and cultural norms all have a role. Legislators and practitioners alike can utilize the study's findings to better understand how to increase the reliability, security, and adoption of digital transactions. Digital transactions are characterized by a myriad of ideas and phrases, such as user experience, ease, security, trust, demography, innovation, regulatory environment, cultural effects, and future trends.

PLATFORM WORK IN SELECTED COUNTRIES OF EASTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE

Labour markets are increasingly being organized through digital platforms. These platforms are often characterized by a systematic asymmetry of information and power in favour of platform providers. They rely on an independent workforce that receives low wages and no social security, and at the same time works for its own account and bears the risk independently. Non-standard form of business via digital platforms offers benefits such as more flexible working hours, more favourable prices, and opportunities for income generation, but it also come with challenges related to job stability, benefits, and legal protections. Since there are no official statistics on the size of platform work, a small number of literature deals with the research of the determinants of platform work. The aim of this paper is to determine how factors such as Internet purchases by individuals, GDP per capita, unemployment rate and DESI index affect the size of the platform work. The analysis was conducted on a sample of selected countries of Eastern and Central Europe (CEEC – Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Estonia) and for this purpose Eurostat and ETUI Internet and Platform Work Survey data were used. The results of analysis show that the GDP per capita and Internet purchases by individuals influence the size of platform work in selected countries.

The Views of Police Officers Toward Gun Legislation and Public Health Policies Driven by Firearm Safety Concerns.

Gun violence is a principal cause of premature death in America. It has been suggested that solutions to gun violence may be found using a public health approach, which is broader than dealing with the problem via law enforcement alone. A component of a public health approach to gun violence is the implementation of policies or laws. Unfortunately, there is a serious gap in our understanding of how street-level police officers view proposed or existing firearms legislation. This is an important omission, because it is line-level personnel who are tasked with enforcing these policies within highly discretionary contexts. We surveyed police from three jurisdictions to establish a baseline understanding of officers' views about potential gun legislation and identify possible resistance and implementation barriers of firearms laws. The findings suggest that those responsible for enforcing new laws show limited or mixed support for the same. Officers were most supportive of laws that increase the presence of trained gun owners within certain contexts and ensure that individuals with criminal backgrounds or mental health concerns do not have access to firearms. Most officers support prohibiting gun ownership following conviction of a domestic violence offense. However, officers generally opposed gun legislation banning assault weapons, large capacity magazines, and internet ammunition purchases. Finally, officers with the Buffalo Police Department-which recently had experienced an active-shooter event-were more supportive of almost all types of legislation. Respondents expressing greater concern about officer safety related to firearms were supportive of several types of firearm legislation.

Analysis of The Influence of Electronic Word of Mouth, Brand Awareness and Digital Accessibility on Purchase Decision of Sayurbox Consumers

Based on variables related to consumer behavior, the purpose of this study is to examine how brand awareness, electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), and digital accessibility affect purchase decisions.

Online Consumer Behavior: Framing Effects, Social Presence Theory and Flow Experience under E-commercial Environment

The rapid development of Internet has propelled commerce into an electronic age, changing the way of how consumers buy products and services. However, internet purchase behavior does not always resemble the traditional consumer purchase behavior as there are significant distinctions between the two that warrant a distinguishing conceptualization. In a virtual environment, the limited accessibility to comprehensive and accurate product information increases the likelihood of risky decision-making (e.g., impulsive buying) with the presentation of cognitive biases. Noticing the limited published studies focusing exclusively on online purchasing behavior, this essay intends to understand the extent of which the present psychological theories (i.e., framing effects, social presence theory, and flow theory) contribute to an understanding of online consumer behavior and the decision-making process, when taking account of the specific and distinct characteristics of the Internet. This research is helpful to theoretically understand consumer behavior under the e-commercial environment and provides insights to develop effective market strategies to promote consumptions.
