Influence of Altruistic Motives on Organic Food Purchase: Theory of Planned Behavior

Marketing campaigns of organic food emphasize utilitarian benefits and psychological benefits as well as consumer culture to enhance environmental sustainability. In order to study the purchase intention of organic food, the authors developed a model using antecedents like warm glow, subjective norm, attitude and perceived behavioral control. This study examines the model for the Indian and the USA samples and thus integrated using three theories: Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Pro-Social Behavior (PSB) Theory with the interaction of Consumer Culture Theory. The model is estimated using the multi-group Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique using R software with samples from India (n = 692) and the USA (n = 640). Results differ for Indian and USA samples. The expectation of the “warm glow” resulted from an environmentally friendly purchase as having a higher influence on Indian samples than that of the USA. Further, the attitude towards organic food purchase intention is stronger for US samples than the Indian, and the group difference is significant, while all the relationships that take warm glow as an antecedent have higher β for Indian samples. Moreover, the study found that attitude towards organic food is a major element for US subsamples, whereas subjective norm plays a major role in Indian samples to adopt organic food. Managerially, the present study suggests that a firm marketing its organic food must concentrate more on “warm glow” for Indian consumers in order to improve their market share

A interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy multi criteria decision making

The limitations and disadvantages of the available intuitionistic fuzzy set scoring functions are investigated. Two improved methods for handling multi-criteria fuzzy decision-making problems are provided. They are based on the two theories of intuitionistic fuzzy set and cross entropy, with the adoption of cross entropy of the degree of membership from the degree of non-membership handling the effect of hesitancy degree. Score function method and weighted score function method are their names. This study presents and investigates a novel strategy for ranking interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Examples using numbers are used to demonstrate the technique

We examined the effect of atorvastatin (ATR) pretreatment on myocardial "1-adrenoceptor ("1-AR) expressions and postYreceptor signaling in a mouse model of sepsis (cecal ligation and puncture [CLP]). After 20 T 2 h of surgery, hearts were isolated for the measurement of left ventricular functions (left ventricular developed pressure, dp/ dtmax and dp/dtmin) using Langendorff setup. Western blot was used to determine "1-AR and G proteinYcoupled receptor kinase 2 protein expressions. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was done to determine "1-AR mRNA expression. Atorvastatin prevented sepsis-induced decrease in left ventricular functions, such as left ventricular developed pressure (CLP 75.90 T 0.53 vs. ATR 100.24 T 1.64 mmHg), dp/dtmax (CLP 3,742 T 71 vs. ATR 4,291 T 88 mmHg/s), and dp/dtmin (CLP j1,010 T 24 vs. ATR j1,346 T 84 mmHg/s). Associated with functional impairments, sepsis decreased both myocardial "1-AR protein and mRNA expressions by 52% T 9% and 62% T 7%, respectively. However, ATR treatment of CLP mice (ATR) preserved "1-AR protein (96% T 11%) and mRNA (88% T 14%) expressions comparable to sham-operated level. Furthermore, it not only attenuated sepsis-induced decrease in basal cardiac adenosine 3¶,5¶-cyclic monophosphate content (CLP 1.30 T 0.27 vs. ATR 6.30 T 0.67 pmol/mg protein), but also prevented its refractoriness to dobutamine stimulation (CLP 1.72 T 0.27 vs. ATR 10.83 T 1.37 pmol/mg protein). Atorvastatin also inhibited sepsis-induced increase in cardiac G proteinYcoupled receptor kinase 2 protein expression (CLP 1.73 T 0.18-fold vs. ATR 1.10 T 0.18-fold), protein kinase A activity (CLP 1.12 T 0.14 vs. ATR 0.66 T 0.08 U/mg protein) and plasma catecholamines (CLP 138 T 22 vs. ATR 59 T 2 pg/mL). In conclusion, ATR seems to improve left ventricular functions in vitro through the preservation of "1-AR signaling in sepsisNot Availabl

Room and High Temperature Tensile Responses of Tib2-Graphene Al 7075 Hybrid Composite Processed through Squeeze Casting

The development of aluminium composite with the inclusion of advanced materials is a continuous research process due to the increasing industrial demand for advanced hybrid materials. To cater for this need, this research work focuses on the development of Al 7075 alloy reinforced with TiB2 and graphene and on the evaluation of its strengthening mechanism. Two different modes of improving the strength of the hybrid composite have been followed; one is by the inclusion of graphene at three levels of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%, and another by the processing route, squeeze casting technique by compression of the molten hybrid composite slurry before casting. The microstructure and characterisation of the composite material are examined and analysed with the help of XRD, SEM, EDAX and chemical spectroscopy. A microstructure evaluation is employed to justify the homogenous dispersal and the existence of reinforced particles. A tensile test is conducted at room temperature and high temperature environments to assess the tensile strength. The research outcome affirms that a significant improvement in tensile and hardness has been noted in comparison with base alloy. The fracture-morphology results affirm the change in fracture mode from brittle to ductile when the tensile testing environment changes from room temperature to high temperature. Finally, the dispersion strengthening mechanism is validated with an empirical approach
