Pengaruh Kualitas Produk, Promosi Dan Desain Terhadap Keputusan Pembelian Perumahan Minimalis Di Solo Raya

This study aims to analyze the effect of promotional strategies on purchasing decisions. Analyzing the effect of product quality on purchasing decisions. Analyze the influence of design on purchasing decisions. The population in this study is the entire community in making purchasing decisions and the sample to be taken is 150 respondents. The results showed that the product quality variable had a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. The promotion variable has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. The design variable has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. Thus, the first, second and third hypotheses proposed are proven true

Nature meets nurture: molecular genetics of gastric cancer

The immensity of genes and molecules implicated in gastric carcinogenesis is overwhelming and the relevant importance of some of these molecules is too often unclear. This review serves to bring us up-to-date with the latest findings as well as to look at the larger picture in terms of how to tackle the problem of solving this multi-piece puzzle. In this review, the environmental nurturing of intestinal cancer is discussed, beginning with epidemiology (known causative factors for inducing molecular change), an update of H. pylori research, including the role of inflammation and stem cells in premalignant lesions. The role of E-cadherin in the nature (genotype) of diffuse gastric cancer is highlighted, and finally the ever growing discipline of SNP analysis (including IL1B) is discussed

Longevity results of modified Hughes procedure in reconstructing large lower eyelid defects

Adel Galal Zaky, Hesham Mohamed Fouad Elmazar, Mohamed Samy Abd Elaziz Ophthalmology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University, Shebin El-Kom, Menoufia, Egypt Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the longevity results of modified Hughes procedure in reconstructing large lower eyelid defects. Background: The modified Hughes procedure was used to reconstruct large full-thickness lower eyelid defects. Meanwhile, the functional results indicated that ocular surface health in the treated eyes may be affected. Patients and methods: Noncomparative, case series retrospective study was designed after obtaining the approval of the institutional review board at the Ophthalmology Department, Menoufia University, Egypt, where the results of cases who underwent surgery with the modified Hughes procedure during a 7-year interval were evaluated. Results: Eleven patients (seven males and four females) in the age range 59–77 years (mean age 67±5 years) were identified. The follow-up ranged from 12 months to 48 months. Cosmetic, functional, and postoperative results were analyzed. Conclusion: Despite the favorable cosmetic results of the Hughes tarsoconjunctival flap, the procedure has its own limitations. The results indicated that it does affect the functions and tear film stability in the treated eyes. Keywords: modified Hughes procedure, lower eyelid reconstruction, tarsoconjunctival fla

Decentralized adaptive suboptimal LQ control in Microsoft Excel VBA

Suboptimal linear quadratic (LQ) control has been popular very much because of its very good results in several tasks of control. It allows us to implement it on many systems even on unstable systems which it stabilizes. Adaptation enlarges the area of the usage especially in the case when standard controllers with fixed parameters gives unsatisfactory results. In this paper, the main attention is dedicated to the usage of the modified instrumental variable technique as the identification part of the self-tuning controllers, and to the implementation in Microsoft Excel. So this approach was verified by simulation in Microsoft Excel Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) on two input two output (TITO) systems. © 2019, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature
