The Market Maven, a new ally in the diffusion of innovations process
No full textThe initial motive for undertaking this research, was a desire to better understand those
factors which were said to affect the diffusion of ethnic foods. In attempting to develop
the general methodology for this study, the author revisited seminal studies on
diffusion of innovations, word-of-mouth, opinion leadership, and innovator / early
adopter influence. During this process, the author discovered Feick and Price's (1987),
emergent "Market Maven", theory. Said to be distinctly different from opinion leaders
and early adopters, market mavens were not only believed to have a higher awareness
of general marketplace information, but also more source credibility than other word-
of-mouth influencers. Employing a replication study approach, a telephone survey of
400 households in urban, suburban and rural north Bedfordshire was undertaken. The
author found that the market maven construct was not a purely US phenomenon, but
was also present in the UK. Developing further Feick and Price's (1987) preliminary
investigations, this study confirmed that (in common with related opinion leadership
studies), it had not been possible to identify market mavens using demographic / socio-
economic variables. VAiilst classifying market mavens remained problematic, the
author was nonetheless able to confirm Feick and Price's (1987) earlier findings, that
market mavens had an inherently increased propensity for general marketplace
information gathering. As this behaviour was considered by the author to be unique to
market mavens, the construct was employed to test those factors, said to affect ethnic
food diffusion, with interesting, if largely inconclusive results.
The author concluded, that the potential of the market maven construct in the diffusion
of innovations process was significant, particularly as a conduit for internal word-of-
mouth information in the business-to-business / industrial marketing context. In that
situation, market mavens' heightened awareness of, and active search for, general
marketplace information, would make them ideal targets for the type of marketing
communication message that innovators and opinion leaders alike, reputedly ignore

Pancreas – Non-Alcoholic Constituents and Their Effects
No full textAlcoholic beverages contain numerous non-alcoholic compounds that could have beneficial or pathological effects. For example, up to now in beer more than 2,000 and in wine more than 1,000 organic and inorganic constituents have been identified. Whereas the role of alcohol (ethanol) in the development of pancreatic diseases – in particular acute and chronic pancreatitis – has been intensively investigated, only little is known about the effects of non-alcoholic compounds in this context. Some of the non-alcoholic constituents have been shown to be biologically active, although discussions of the results in appropriate publications were often not performed with regard to their consumption as a mixture in alcoholic beverages. In this article we provide an overview about the newest data concerning the effect of non-alcoholic constituents of alcoholic beverages, especially of beer, on pancreatic secretion and their possible role in alcoholic pancreatitis. The data indicate that non-alcoholic constituents of beer stimulate pancreatic enzyme secretion in humans and rats, at least in part, by direct action on pancreatic acinar cells. However, there is accumulating evidence that non-alcoholic compounds of alcoholic beverages exert different effects on the pancreas. The effects and mechanisms of most single compounds and their combinations are still unknown and thus caution is required in attempting to draw firm conclusions on the effect of non-alcoholic compounds of alcoholic beverages on defining alcoholic etiology of pancreatitis.</jats:p
Schulatmosphäre - Lernlandschaft - Lebenswelt
No full textIn der Ganztagsschule verbringen Kinder und Jugendliche den größten Teil des Tages. Deshalb kommt der Gestaltung des Lebens- und Lernraums in der Schule gepaart mit einer anregenden Schulatmosphäre ein hoher Stellenwert zu. Ein gutes Schulklima wirkt sich positiv auf die Leistungen aus. Lernräume oder Lernlandschaften sollen zu ganztägig und multifunktional nutzbaren Lebensräumen werden, die eine hohe Aufenthaltsqualität besitzen. Der Raum als dritter Pädagoge hat eine gewachsene Bedeutung in der Ganztagsschule. Diese Aspekte werden in der vorliegenden Ausgabe des Jahrbuchs besonders in den Blick genommen. Der Band versammelt grundlegende Beiträge und Praxisbeispiele. Daneben werden u.a. aktuelle Forschung und neuere Literatur vorgestellt.

Through the gateway: reporting on collections
No full textLibrarians are frequently required to support collection and broader management decisions. Line staff and managers need clear and complete data that can be easily accessed and manipulated in order to understand current and historic situations and trends. Presentation of that data must be visually compelling and easily used to support reporting to administrators, funders, and accrediting bodies. The presenters discussed the reports development process, the need for dialogue amongst stakeholders not only to retrieve useful data but also to analyze it, and provided examples of a variety of collections-related reports
