Abstract:

Presented are cost-effective paid media strategies to educate Californians to advocate for stronger smoke-free multiunit housing (SF-MUH) policies between 2006 and 2008. Included is a summary of general market and specific ethnic market costs that correspond to SF-MUH attitudes and home smoking bans. Statewide questionnaires indicated that half of the intended general market saw an antitobacco TV ad and half of the intended ethnic markets heard radio ads. Analyses indicated that it cost $0.67 and $0.78 per person to see Caution Tape and Apartment TV ads, respectively. Slightly higher per capita costs corresponded with positive attitudes toward SF-MUH: $0.87 for Caution Tape and $1.00 for Apartment. Lessons learned from this campaign included effectiveness of specific ads in ethnic markets, impact on SF-MUH work plan policy objectives, and the need for collaborations among state and local partners throughout the message development process.

Abstract:

This study was undertaken to discover a feasible transport media for the transportation of ocular microbiological material from the periphery to the central laboratory. A total of 94 cases of ocular infection with clinical diagnosis of conjunctivitis and keratitis were studied. In all cases, two representative microbiological samples were collected, and sent by filter paper strip (FPS) kit as well as by direct culture technique. The isolated organisms by both the methods were analysed. Of the total 94 cases studied, bacteria were isolated in 48 cases by direct culture and in 45 cases by FPS kit, whereas, fungus were isolated in 13 cases by each method. FPS kit appears to be an alternative, feasible, and cost-effective technique for transportation of ocular microbiological material from periphery to the central laboratory.

Abstract:

In the diversification of the world's energy portfolio, microalgae biofuels have gained particular attention as a means of providing carbon-neutral hydrocarbon-based fuels. The progress on this front has been hindered because of expensive and unreliable microalgae cultivation systems, where the preparation of synthetic culture media poses a monetary strain. This study aims to investigate a new microalgae growth media that is readily available and cost-effective. The new microalgae fertilizerbased media (FBM) were designed and compared with Bold Basal media (BBM) in terms of growth parameters, production of lipid and value-added algal by-products (carotenoid and phycobiliprotein). The growth parameters such as cell count and specific growth rate were investigated for FBM and BBM. FBM showed a significant growth rate of 7 million/mL-per day as compared to 2 million/ml per day. A similar growth trend was observed for chlorophyll (a), (b) and carotenes which increased to the values of 5microgram/gram formula weight (µg/gfw), 3 µg/gfw and 2 µg/gfw for FBM. On the other hand, lipid and phycobiliprotein showed a decrease of 18.75 % and 16.66 %, respectively, compared to BBM. Even though some growth parameters are negatively affected by fertilizer-based media, the cost reduction is substantial to allow this drawback to be overlooked. The medium's cost is reduced by a factor of 7 and provides ground for the use of the FBM in the large-scale cultivation of algae for biomass production.

Abstract:

Recruitment has changed over the years. Organisations have started searching for an easy and cost effective platform for personality mining. With the explosion of social networking sites, candidates are now able to choose where they could spend their time online. This has encouraged many recruiters to start using social networking as part of a new cost-conscious approach to personality mining. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. Popular online sites include LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. They are growing at an exponential rate, with most of the sites being free to join and, importantly, giving organizations an effective means of attracting today's Generation Y workforce. The purpose of this article is to contribute to emerging theory about the role of social networking sites in the process of personality mining.

Abstract:

Digital transformation makes social media one of the infrastructures that introduces effective performance changes for MSMEs. Referring to the concept of the research model built based on the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) theory, tThere are three basic factors that need to be considered by MSMEs in adopting social media, namely compatibility, cost-effectiveness and interactivity. This study aims to compare the effects of compatibility, cost-effectiveness, and interactivity on SME performance between the social media platforms Instagram and TikTok. A comparative study was utilized in this research to examine the impact of variables on the Instagram and TikTok social media platforms. The sample consisted of 200 SMEs was selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Multigroup Analysis (PLS-MGA). The study's results indicate that compatibility and interactivity significantly influence the adoption of both Instagram and TikTok social media platforms. On the other hand, the cost-effectiveness variable only affects the adoption of the TikTok social media platform but does not significantly affect the adoption of Instagram. This study also found that only interactivity significantly differs in adopting social media platforms between Instagram and TikTok. The results showed that Instagram social media provides greater interactivity than TikTok. The other two variables, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness do not significantly differ. Furthermore, the study also found a positive influence of using both Instagram and TikTok social media platforms on SMEs' performance.

Abstract:

Background Stroke is a major global health problem and was the second leading cause of death worldwide in 2020. However, the lack of public stroke awareness especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as Nepal severely hinders the effective provision of stroke care. Efficient and cost-effective strategies to raise stroke awareness in LMICs are still lacking. This study aims to (a) explore the feasibility of a social media-based stroke awareness campaign in Nepal using a cost-benefit analysis and (b) identify best practices for social media health education campaigns. Methods We performed a stroke awareness campaign over a period of 6 months as part of a Stroke Project in Nepal on four social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok) with organic traffic and paid advertisements. Adapted material based on the World Stroke Day Campaign and specifically created videos for TikTok were used. Performance of the campaign was analyzed with established quantitative social media metrics (impressions, reach, engagement, costs). Results Campaign posts were displayed 7.5 million times to users in Nepal. 2.5 million individual social media users in Nepal were exposed to the campaign on average three times, which equals 8.6% of Nepal’s total population. Of those, 250,000 users actively engaged with the posts. Paid advertisement on Facebook and Instagram proved to be more effective in terms of reach and cost than organic traffic. The total campaign cost was low with a “Cost to reach 1,000 users” of 0.24 EUR and a “Cost Per Click” of 0.01 EUR. Discussion Social media-based campaigns using paid advertisement provide a feasible and, compared to classical mass medias, a very cost-effective approach to inform large parts of the population about stroke awareness in LMICs. Future research needs to further analyze the impact of social media campaigns on stroke knowledge.

Abstract:

Abstract— Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was prevalent in many species of aquatic plants grown in Green Farms. This study was carried out to understand the production of Bacillus thuringiensis aizawai (Bta) using cost effective method to manage the pest biologically. Bta is being widely used in pest control programs. However, the production of this Bta is expensive due to the high cost of the production medium. In this study, an attempt has made to develop a cost-effective medium, based on a locally available raw materials namely coconut water which is available in plenty as waste product from coconut oil industry, coconut poonac, rice bran and coir dust. A standard conventional Luria Bertani medium was included in the assay for comparison. Media were assessed for the growth, sporulation and production of insecticidal properties of Bta. Coconut poonac extract and coconut water media produced higher spores than compare with conventional LB medium. Maximum spore count of 25.0×1013 spores/mL was obtained with a 72 h old culture of this bacterium grown in coconut poonac extract. Larvicidal activity (LC50) of 8 ×106 spores/mL (coconut poonac extract) against early second-instar larvae of S.litura were obtained. This is almost similar to that obtained with LB (9 × 106 spores/mL) medium. Hence, coconut based culture medium is economical for the production of Bta and compared favorably with the standard. Cost-effective analyses have revealed that production of Bta from test media is highly economical. The cost of production of Bta with local media was significantly reduced by 88-293 fold. The use of nonconventional sources has yielded a new knowledge in this area as the process development aspects of small scale production have been neglected as an area of research. These studies are very important from the point of media optimization for economic production of Bta based agents in pest management programs.

Abstract:

Social media is everywhere and used in many business and personal situations. There is no indication that social media use is declining; rather, social media use is constantly expanding into new realms and taking on new forms. Social media launches political campaigns, international pop stars, and new businesses to heightened levels of success or failure with just a few mouse clicks. Because social media information has the ability to spread rapidly, not addressing social media or hoping it will not affect the employer's business is a dangerous practice. Currently, few employers have a Social Media Policy ("Policy"). By not having a Policy, the employer and its business are left vulnerable to the whims of its employees' social media actions and cannot guide employees toward using social media to protect and further the employer's business purpose. A Policy's existence makes the employer proactive rather than reactive. Further, establishing a Policy provides employees with clear expectations about when social media can be used, for what purposes, and what level of privacy an employee should expect regarding personal use. Finally, the employer needs a Policy to promote consistent enforcement among all employees. Inconsistent actions by supervisors for similar employee actions could open the employer up to potential employment discrimination lawsuits. Once the employer understands that it needs a Policy, the next step is deciding what type to implement. The employer must create a Policy that furthers the employer's business purposes. Regardless of whether the employer decides to ban social media or freely allow its use, the employer should always spell it out in a Policy that defines the parameters of social media use. However, before the employer establishes a Policy it should conduct a cost-benefit analysis of social media uses and benefits for the employer versus the cost and resources required to enforce such a Policy. The employer should consider the Policy's monitoring and enforcement costs and the employee productivity costs depending on the level of allowed social media use. Taking into account these considerations, this Article will instruct an employer or employer's counsel on how to best draft an effective Policy that will meet all of the employer's objectives.

Abstract:

The costs of treatment of children with otitis media with effusion comprise a substantial part of the total health care expenditure. However, there is little information about the value of therapy expressed in cost-effectiveness terms, and disagreement still exists about optimal therapy. This article considers the elements of cost-effectiveness analysis as they pertain to treatment of young children with otitis media with effusion and develops a first approximation model using data from several sources. The assumptions on which this model is based need to be validated by additional research. Otitis media with effusion treatment costs are high because of the large, and apparently increasing, number of symptomatic cases. Medical therapy, which is the primary treatment modality, consumes two thirds of the expenditures for otitis media with effusion. Surgical therapy is a cost-effective treatment for children in whom medical therapy for otitis media with effusion fails. Medical and surgical therapy are complementary, and each should be included in the analysis of cost-effectiveness.

Abstract:

The paper conceptualized a B2B Social Media Marketing Optimization Model by using Linear Programming mathematical technique. Social Media Marketing as part of digital marketing mix is seen as an effective one-to-one communication and an interactive media. But Social Media Marketing channels suffers from its poor reach compared to other digital media. As a practice, social media marketing is chosen as per ease of operation, lower cost and not on any quantitative measurements. The optimization model is first of its type since it uses media effectiveness (reach), media efficiency (Cost) and media quality (engagement) as the basis for building the optimization model. The concept presented takes into account complete cost of social media marketing that includes operations cost, production cost and design cost. The other model limits cost of Social Media Marketing to media cost only and usually account for production cost and design cost as a common marketing support cost, which in social media cases may consume a large portion of resources and cost. This also create problems to ascertain the cost in case of owned media or earned media where paid media cost is zero. The model also present a case that if Social Media Marketing Mix is chosen on basis of mathematical calculation, the outcome can be enhanced.

Abstract:

BackgroundTobacco control mass media campaigns are cost-effective in reducing tobacco consumption in high-income countries, but similar evidence from low-income countries is limited. An evaluation of a 2009 smokeless tobacco control mass media campaign in India provided an opportunity to test its cost-effectiveness.MethodsCampaign evaluation data from a nationally representative household survey of 2898 smokeless tobacco users were compared with campaign costs in a standard cost-effectiveness methodology. Costs and effects of the Surgeon campaign were compared with the status quo to calculate the cost per campaign-attributable benefit, including quit attempts, permanent quits and tobacco-related deaths averted. Sensitivity analyses at varied CIs and tobacco-related mortality risk were conducted.ResultsThe Surgeon campaign was found to be highly cost-effective. It successfully generated 17 259 148 additional quit attempts, 431 479 permanent quits and 120 814 deaths averted. The cost per benefit was US$0.06 per quit attempt, US$2.6 per permanent quit and US$9.2 per death averted. The campaign continued to be cost-effective in sensitivity analyses.ConclusionThis study suggests that tobacco control mass media campaigns can be cost-effective and economically justified in low-income and middle-income countries. It holds significant policy implications, calling for sustained investment in evidence-based mass media campaigns as part of a comprehensive tobacco control strategy.

Abstract:

The newly developed non-woven filter media are composed of randomly oriented fibrous fibers from lignocellulosic biomass. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of incorporating chitosan solution in fibrous filter media made from lignocellulosic biomass. The wet lay-up method was adopted for filter media fabrication. Diluted acetic acid was used as medium to dissolve the chitosan powder. Chitosan solution was applied to the fiber using two different deposition techniques, namely, spray method and addition method. The tensile test demonstrated that the filter media using spray method outperformed a filter media made from by addition technique. From the FT-IR spectrum, when the chitosan was added to empty fruit bunches fibers, the absorption peaks at around 1642 cm-1 are clearly identified that showing the presence of amine group in the fibers. The changes observed in the spectra indicated the possible interaction of functional groups between chitosan and cellulose in the fibers. The newly developed non-woven filter media integrates the functions for both the deep filtration and mechanical screen, thus it will be an alternative medium in oily wastewater treatment industry.

Abstract:

Cost effective campaigning method to attract people to an awareness program need to be identified. Conventional Pamphlet Campaign remain popular despite the expanding range of Social Media Campaign that have potential to reach large number of people at low cost. Two different methods of awareness campaigns were used to attract people to an awareness program. The Conventional Pamphlet was distributed manually and Social Media Campaign was done in Facebook as a paid promoted post. The budget was fixed to Rs.1200/-for each group. People with interest are invited to scan the provided QR code which directs to an Electronic form (e- form). The number of sign up were estimated in each method. A total of 17 people signed up to participate in awareness program. Of which Conventional Pamphlets Campaign showed 6 sign up and Social Media Campaign showed 11 sign up. The cost per sign up for Conventional Pamphlet Campaign and Social Media Campaign are Rs.200/- and Rs. 109.09 respectively. The Social Media Campaign was the cost effective method and reached larger number of sign ups when compared to Conventional Pamphlet Campaign. Overall, our results demonstrate that Social Media Campaigning is the cost-effective method in attracting people than Conventional Pamphlets Campaigning.

Abstract:

Cost effective campaigning method to attract people to an awareness program need to be identified. Conventional pamphlet campaign remain popular despite the expanding range of social media campaign that have potential to reach large number of people at low cost. Two different methods of awareness campaigns were used to attract people to an awareness program. The conventional pamphlet was distributed manually and social media campaign was done in Facebook as a paid promoted post. The budget was fixed to Rs.1200/-for each group. People with interest are invited to scan the provided QR code which directs to an electronic form (e-form). The number of sign up were estimated in each method. A total of 17 people signed up to participate in awareness program. Of which conventional pamphlets campaign showed 6 sign up and social media campaign showed 11 sign-ups. The cost per sign up for conventional pamphlet campaign and social media campaign are Rs.109.09 and Rs.200 respectively. The social media campaign was the cost-effective method and reached larger number of sign-ups when compared to conventional pamphlet campaign. Overall, our results demonstrate that social media campaigning is the cost-effective method in attracting people than conventional pamphlets campaigning.

Abstract:

The cost of commonly available culture media is a source of concern for many researchers, highlighting the need to explore more cost-effective alternatives or reduce the use of additives. Despite limited research in this area, efforts have been made to identify alternative culture media that are economically viable for cultivating microorganisms. This study explored the potential of beetroot extract as a cost-effective medium with col-or-inducing properties for fungal growth and as a chromogenic medium for testing lipase enzyme production efficiently as one of the rapid differential tests. The results indicated that Beetroot Agar Medium (BAM) offered significant cost savings in fungal cultivation while facilitating rapid fungal growth compared to other expensive and time-consuming media. Within a 3-4 day incubation period at a temperature range of 25-27 ˚C, all isolated fungi exhibited robust growth. Furthermore, the medium successfully served as a chromogenic differentiating medium by inducing fungi to produce lipase. These findings have broad implications for bio-technology and industrial applications, providing a sustainable and efficient alternative for microbial cultivation.

Abstract:

The aim is to find a cost-effective method of identifying nutrient media producing identical plants with maximum performance in terms of the bioactive substances contained in them. An adaptation of QSAR is used. The "spatial structure of the chemical component" is replaced with "the multidimensional structure of the nutrient medium" or with the treated day schemes. For each process, a separate forecast is made. All nutrition media produced in silico are based on the ranges of phytonutrient hormones in biotechnological experiments. We found 43 theoretical combinations of media with more than 80% success under conditions of limited resources in the price range of [0-1,5] euro/liter. The obtained results can be used as: a theoretical guideline for determining the optimal nutrient media and combinations; to the study of other medicinal plants in order to establish effective biotechnological schemes for growth and rooting that are also cost-effective; using ANN, taking into account the species and the ecotype.

Abstract:

Development of a Cost Effective Medium for Production ofBacillus ThuringiensisBioinsecticide Using Food BarleyGenetically manipulated food barley,Hordeum vulgareL. var.valfajr, was compared to commercial-grade starch as carbon sources in groundnut and soybean based media for supporting growth, sporulation and delta-endotoxin production byBacillus thuringiensisBerlinerB. thuringiensiskurstaki HD-1 and a promising newly isolatedB. thuringiensisstrain (referred to as BTA) were used. MgCl2, CaCl2, and MnCl2were used as trace-elements. Culture media were compared in shaken flasks and then in 5 l Fermentors. Biomass, delta-endotoxin levels and the number of spores as colony forming units (CFU) were evaluated. For each of the two strains, biomass and delta-endotoxin synthesis were not significantly different in soybean-based media after substitution starch by barley flour. There were significant differences between the two strains with respect to biomass and toxin production. Evaluated costs of media preparation showed that food barley is an economical alternative to commercial-grade starch in the production of BTA bioinsecticide.

Abstract:

This study mainly focuses on the insights of a private school’s head pertaining to the use of digital media in educational marketing. The qualitative research paradigm was chosen for this study and in depth phenomenological interview was conducted from a head of a private school. Two themes were extracted from the data: Marketing educational services through digital media and its challenges, and digital media tool for marketing education services. The study revealed that the school head perceived the digital media to be cost-effective marketing strategy that was multidimensional and value-driven, but due to lack of awareness, skills, attitude, and sense of maturity among stakeholders, digital media was ignored and was not much used as a cost-effective marketing tool. Nevertheless, it is proposed that by hiring marketing personnel to promote services professionally, by aligning their strategies according to the demands of their customers, and by inviting customers’ voice on digital platforms, digital media can become a cost-effective and a valuable tool for mercerization of education.

Abstract:

The industrial production of marine bacteria with probiotic properties is limited by the excessive cost of the culture media adequate for their growth. The present work aimed to study the suitability of 30 marine media formulated with nitrogen sources (fish peptones) from different fish discards and seawater, for the growth of two marine probiotic bacteria (MPB), namely Phaeobacter sp. and Pseudomonas fluorescens. These fish peptones were produced from several discarded fish and by-products (heads, skins, and whole individuals of megrim, mackerel, gurnard, hake, etc.). In all cultivations, no significant differences were found on cell viability when the microorganism grew on commercial or alternative media. In relation to the biomass production, the growth of Phaeobacter sp. on waste media was commonly similar or a 20% lower than observed in the control cultures. For P. fluorescens, various peptones (skin peptones of pouting and blue whiting) showed even higher productive ability than commercial peptones. An initial economical evaluation revealed that low-cost media reduced until 120 times the cost of production of MPB.

Abstract:

To determine the efficacy of and need for patient education methods and media, a needs assessment was sent to 816 members of the American Association of Diabetes Educators. Respondents (n=325, 40%) included 62% RNs, 36% RDs, 1% other; 62% CDEs. Their mean number of years experience in diabetes education was 8.5, and 99% routinely provided patient education. Respondents indicated that videotapes and slide tapes were the most educationally effective media and books and audiotapes were the least effective. Booklets and videotapes were the most cost-effective and computer-assisted instruction the least effective. While respondents perceived one-to-one counseling, skills training, and diabetes content sessions to be the three most educationally effective methods, support groups and large and small discussion groups were seen as the three most cost-effective educational methods. Among nine potential barriers to quality patient education listed, educators rated lack of third-party reimbursement as a major barrier most frequently and national availability of quality education materials as a barrier least frequently.

Abstract:

The development of the reputation of today's tourist destinations cannot be separated from the role of technology. The use of social media that is connected to the internet as a tourism communication medium is now more flexible and profitable for all parties because the use of social media is considered easier to use and implement and has a very good effect. Its scope of influence is broad because it is not limited by space and time. In addition, the use of social media can be said to be cost-effective for disseminating various information about existing or even developing tourist sites. These things ultimately make social media more attractive to both potential and casual users. In general, the communicative nature of social media is the right strategy for service users to provide as detailed information as possible to their users. Social media is considered as the most profitable and effective marketing trend. The Internet has made marketing products more useful because it allows for more efficient, responsive and cost-effective marketing processes. In addition, fast response is also one of the advantages that is often used in social media promotions. The more routine these things are uploaded, the more familiar Instagram users are with the place so that over time the users are moved to visit tours. In this day and age, people tend to seek information through social media such as Instagram because it makes it easier for people to get information quickly and completely.

Abstract:

To equip the younger generation of the province with computing skills and provide them access to a wide variety of modern educational resources such as multimedia based on educational content in government schools and colleges to set a strong foundation at an early stage of their education. Educational Media help to empower educational institutions by altering the way of using Information Communication Technology (ICT). To put this into practice, several challenges need to be addressed. It requires a scalable technological architecture and algorithms to form a cluster in which effective resource sharing like CPU, Memory among multiple nodes, tools to monitor, assess and evaluate data under hierarchical Hadoop cluster is needed. By analyzing text, audios, videos information, Periodic reports will be generated to assist the students, teachers and Government. In this case, a software framework is required to process big data stored in hierarchical nodes. As the architecture of Hadoop, an open source software framework doesn't support processing the data stored in hierarchical nodes. This case study proposes the Hierarchical Hadoop cluster to alter the way of using ICT. The proposed work helps in monitoring, reporting the usage of ICT and also acts a help desk to address the issues of the educational institutions. This establishes a novel communication media by generating reports on text, audio, video information based on analysis.

Abstract:

Background Cost-effective, practical, and reproducible culture of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) is required for both basic and translational research. This is especially crucial for large-scale expansion of hiPSCs for cell therapy, which should be made accessible to many patients regardless of their socioeconomic background. Basal 8 (B8) has emerged as a cost-effective solution for weekend-free and chemically-defined hiPSC culture. However, homebrewing of some recombinant growth factors for B8 can be a bottleneck towards both access and reproducibility of this technology. Moreover, we found the published B8 formulation to be suboptimal in normoxic hiPSC culture, which is widely used. Lastly, the suitability of B8 for applications such as genome editing or organoid differentiation remains to be assessed. Methods We formulated B8 with commercially available, animal-free growth factors, refined its composition to support normoxic culture of the widely-used WTC11 hiPSC line, and compared it to commercial Essential 8 (E8) and a home-made, weekend-free E8 formulation (hE8). We measured pluripotency marker expression and cell cycle with flow cytometry, and investigated the transcriptional profiles by bulk RNA sequencing. We also assessed the efficiency of gene editing, single-cell sorting, and cardiac differentiation in both monolayer and organoids. Results hE8 performed similarly to commercial E8 in all the assays. Despite morphological changes, cells in B8+, our optimised variant of B8, expressed the pluripotency marker NANOG at the highest level. At the same time, cells grown in B8+ were primed towards a mesendodermal fate. B8+ outperformed other media with regard to genome editing via homology directed recombination, and was on par with other media in other assays. Conclusions Overall, optimised weekend-free media formulations promise to democratise the generation of engineered cells for a wide range of applications.
