In this paper we introduce a novel, unified, open-source model interpretability library for PyTorch [12]. The contains generic implementations of number gradient and perturbation-based attribution algorithms, also known as feature, neuron layer importance well set evaluation metrics these algorithms. It can be used both classification non-classification models including graph-structured built on Neural Networks (NN). give high-level overview supported algorithms show how to perform...

Purpose – Although the increase in point-of-purchase decisions heightens communication potential of food product packaging, empirical research on understanding how visual packaging affects consumers' subsequent and brand evaluations perceptions is scant. This study seeks to develop a theoretical model show effects consumer attitudes toward perceived quality, value, preference. Design/methodology/approach A self-administered questionnaire developed from literature was conducted, 315...

Abstract Context.—The National Kidney Disease Education Program recommends calculating glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine concentration. Accurate measurements are necessary for this calculation. Objective.—To evaluate the state of art in measuring creatinine, as well ability a proficiency testing program to measure bias individual laboratories and method peer groups. Design.—A fresh-frozen, off-the-clot pooled specimen plus 4 conventional specimens were sent participants...

The effectiveness of an exercise training program for 52 adults with Down syndrome (M age = 39.4 years) was evaluated. consisted cardiovascular (30 minutes) and strength (15 12 weeks, 3 days a week 45-minutes per session. Compared to control subjects, the group improved significantly in fitness muscular endurance had slight but significant reduction body weight. Greater effort must be made promote increases physical activity participation among persons developmental disabilities order reduce...

The Association of American Medical Colleges' Institute for Improving Education's report entitled 'Effective Use Educational Technology' called on researchers to study the effectiveness multimedia design principles. These principles were empirically shown result in superior learning when used with college students laboratory studies, but have not been studied undergraduate medical as participants.A pre-test/post-test control group was used, which traditional-learning received a lecture shock...

Numerous location-based services (LBS) studies have suggested that the risk of disclosing personal privacy hinders consumers from adopting LBS, whereas scant attention has focused on clarifying how to mitigate perceived using LBS. This quantitative study focuses effects consumer quality perceptions (i.e. information quality, system and service quality) their trust in which consequently affects continued usage intention towards Research data were collected through a market survey website;...

This research examines consumer attitudes towards four sub-types of interactive digital advertising: internet-based e- and email advertising, mobile-phone-based SMS- MMS-type advertising. The differences in among these advertising are also compared. Data collected from three universities Taiwan. analysis extracts attitudinal forms (common factors) namely, 'informative', 'entertaining' 'irritating'. Consumer e-advertising m-advertising both similar positive (i.e. informative less irritating...

Purpose – Green consumer behavior has recently attracted the attention of academic researchers. To address a lack relevant research, effects that characteristics (i.e. external locus control and collectivism) social influence factors environmental visibility subjective norms) exert on green purchasing intentions are investigated in this study. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through quantitative online survey 1,866 participants Taiwan,...

This study explores the relationship between social support and interaction ties on Internet addiction by integrating both online offline encounters. A total of 1,642 members communities participated in this research, for which structural equation modeling was used analysis. The findings show that is positively associated with contexts. In addition, are addiction, whereas negatively associated. finding has important implications not only understanding cause but also diminishing due to ties.

Objectives In line with a recent report entitled Effective Use of Educational Technology in Medical Education from the Association American Colleges Institute for Improving (AAMC‐IME), this study examined whether revising medical lecture based on evidence‐based principles multimedia design would lead to improved long‐term transfer and retention Year 3 students. A previous yielded positive effects an immediate test, but did not investigate effects. Methods pre‐test/post‐test control design,...

Findings findings indicate that consumers form...

Weight reduction programs are not generally designed or adapted for people with physical disabilities. This study examined the effect of a 9-months remote, telephone-based weight management program disabilities using Web-based system (Personalized Online and Exercise Response System [POWERS]).A total 102 participants (mean ± SD age, 46.5 12.7 yrs; body mass index, 32.0 5.8 kg/m(2)) disability (spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, stroke, lupus) were...

Purpose Increasing followers' positive word-of-mouth (PWOM) is a critical means through which social media influencers (SMIs) marketers can increase SMIs' follower count. Studies have reported that authenticity and credibility PWOM identified the dimensions of (i.e. originality, naturalness continuity) attractiveness, trustworthiness expertise). However, mechanisms underlying associations among these are unclear. Drawing from exchange theory, authors developed an integrated conceptual model...

Level of acculturation has been linked to depressed mood in studies across culturally diverse immigrant groups.
