Social media research in the context of emerging markets: an analysis of extant literature from information systems perspective
YesPurpose: Despite the potential of social media in emerging markets (EMs), only few studies
published in high quality information systems (IS) journals that have addressed issues related
to social media in the context of EMs. This study aims to analyse existing research related to
social media published in high quality IS journals for exploring initial research trends,
emerging themes, limitations and future research directions in the context of emerging markets.
Design/methodology/approach: This study conducted systematic review of 22 articles on
social media, which were published in the “Senior Scholars Basket of IS Journals and
Information Systems Frontiers” from 1997 to 2017. Manual literature search approach (i.e.
screening through table of contents of each journal) was employed to identify relevant articles.
The content of relevant articles was systematically analysed and synthesised along with
keyword analysis to understand research trends on social media related issues in the emerging
markets context.
Findings: The study identified four major themes from existing research on the social media
in the context of emerging markets, namely: 1) Social media frameworks; 2) Social media and
consumers; 3) Social media and organisations; and 4) Social media and society with majority
of the studies focusing on consumers. Single Subject was found as the major limitation with
studies analysed focusing on single platform/country/domain hindering the generalizability
whereas including new exogenous variable to improve the validity of existing studies emerged
as main future research direction.
Originality/value: This study conducted literature review on social media in EMs, which has
not been undertaken yet. Moreover, it employed manual search (an effort and time intensive
approach) to overcome the shortcomings of keyword search to identify, locate, select and
analyse the social media literature in the context of emerging markets
Hydrogen bond stabilization in Diels–Alder transition states: The cycloaddition of hydroxy-ortho-quinodimethane with fumaric acid and dimethylfumarate
DFT investigations on the mechanism of Diels–Alder reactions of a hydroxy-ortho-quinodimethane with fumaric acid derivatives were performed to understand the origin of the syn or anti configuration of the adducts. The diene hydroxyl group and the dieneophile carboxyl group show hydrogen bonding in the transition state, significantly favouring the syn product. This reaction is poorly diastereoselective for R = CO₂Me (ratio syn/anti = 57:43) and significantly improved for R = CO₂H (ratio syn/anti = 71:29). The stereoselectivities are properly predicted from transition structures calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level
Consumer acceptance and use of information technology: A meta-analytic evaluation of UTAUT2
YesDespite being regarded as the most comprehensive theory in understanding individual technology adoption – UTAUT2 theory with growing number of citations and impetus beyond IS domain face strong criticism on usage of the model in its entirety. This study located UTAUT2 based empirical studies in the Scopus and Web of Science bibliographic database through citied reference search in order to evaluate appropriate usage of UTAUT2 constructs. The meta-analysis results spanning across 60 studies with more than 122,000 cumulative observations found BI→UB as the strongest path with all significant values. PE→BI emerged as the most utilized path with most significant values underscoring the emphasis placed by consumers on utilitarian value. Meanwhile, with most non-significant path values the future usage of EE→BI path is been cautioned and questioned. Finally, trust, personal innovativeness, perceived risk, attitude, and self-efficacy were found as the five topmost UTAUT2 extensions

The Mandapam Regional Centre of ICAR-CMFRI selected
Puthukudi village, Thondi in Ramanathapuram district of
Tamil Nadu for implementation of Scheduled Caste Sub-
Plan (SCSP) a programme fully funded by Government
of India. This village has 97 per cent of SC families in the total village population and majority of them are involved in fishing. Moreover, this village is located near to the sea shore and mariculture activities like cage farming, marine ornamental fish seed rearing and seaweed farming can be easily adopted by them
Report on a stranded sea cow, Dugong dugon in the Gulf of Mannar coast
On 31 March 2019, an adult dead female sea cow (Dugong dugon) measuring more than three meters of total length got stranded along the Gulf of Mannar coast at Gandhi Nagar, Mandapam, Ramanathapuram district, Tamil Nadu (09º 27' 6658'' N; 79º 15' 0459'' E). The morphometric details of the female whale that was weighing approximately 350 kg is given in Table 1. The specimen had relatively robust body with loss of almost one third of the ventral skin along with blubber from the thoracic and abdominal region of the body. There were significant cut wounds present on the dorsal as well as lateral sides of the body. The internal organs did not reveal any significant abnormalities for the cause of death. Based on the body condition and external injuries it can be concluded that the cause of death might be due to attempted hunting. Dugongs fall in schedule 1 of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act whose hunting is banned and poachers are liable for punishment
Necropsy findings and observations on marine mammals stranded in Gulf of Mannar coast
A dead female dolphin was washed ashore on 19
April 2016 at Singhivalaikuchu, near Vedhalai,
Ramanathapuram district, Tamil Nadu along the
coast of Gulf of Mannar (N.09.260700; E.79.084858).
Based on morphological features and teeth pattern,
the specimen was identified as Indo-pacific
bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops aduncus. A total of 26
morphometric parameters were recorded
Concurrent Development and Certification of SOFTCOMAG 49AA Alloy for Aeronautical Applications
Softcomag 49AA alloy consisting of 49 wt per cent Fe, 49 wt. per cent Co and 2 wt per cent V is a soft magnetic alloy with a combination of very high saturation magnetisation and high magnetostriction and used for several aeronautical applications such as generators (stators and rotors), fixed iron moving armature units etc. Though this alloy is brittle in nature, it can be formed into hot rolled bars and cold rolled sheets by adopting suitable thermo mechanical treatments. In order to indigenise and subsequent type certification for aeronautical applications, the alloy was produced using 100 per cent virgin raw materials in a vacuum induction melting (VIM) furnace which not only ensures substantial reduction of inclusions, but also the production of homogeneous alloy as a result of induction stirring. The chemical composition was examined and hot working parameters of the alloy were so optimised that they would result in the best combination of magnetic, physical and mechanical properties for the end use, which forms the central theme behind the developmental activity that was simultaneously covered by a comprehensive certification process. The material thus produced is subjected to stringent quality control checks in accordance with stipulated airworthiness norms. The paper discusses in detail the indigenisation efforts and airworthiness certification of the alloy Softcomag 49AA and its comparison with equivalent grades, namely PERMENDUR 49 and VACOFLUX 50.Defence Science Journal, 2012, 62(1), pp.67-72, DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.62.1093

Stranding of the Risso’s dolphin in the Gulf of Mannar
The specimen was relatively robust with unique body,
head was blunt without distinct beak. Compared to
other dolphins the forehead was bulging with relatively
more squarish profile than the rounded melon. A
prominent vertical crease on the front side of the
melon was noticed. The dorsal fin was relatively tall and
slender with a pointed tip. The flippers were relatively
long. The upper jaw had only one pair of worn teeth
and the lower jaw had six pairs of worn-down teeth.
With the available morphometric information including
the absence of beak, blunt-head and its overall size,
with its bulk ahead of the dorsal fin, it was identified as Grampus griseus
