Grocery Shopping for America
No full textPeople demonstrate indirect support for a nation’s identity by consuming products representing their nationality. In such context, this paper focuses on how people react toward brands with national associations when the nation faces threats perpetrated by institutions. Institutions are important as they are one of the core elements defining national identity. Institutional threats to national identity can come from within the nation (internal threat) and from outside (external threat).
Weekly supermarket scanner data from 2004 showed that sales of American-sounding brands declined in counties that saw higher coverage of the Abu Ghraib torture scandal (internal threat), and sales of American-sounding brands increased in counties with more war casualties (external threat). Seven additional experiments demonstrated that: (a) self-enhancement derived from national identity mediates these main effects, (b) advertisements that refocus attention on how the brand helps to cope with external threats mitigate the negative effects of internal threats for American brands, and (c) such advertisements do not mitigate the negative effects of internal threats for non-American brands. Qualitative surveys (N=218), surveys (N=1603), experiments (N=3123), and secondary data analyses (encompassing sales of over 8,000 brands across more than 1,100 US stores), were used to triangulate the results
Circulating levels of inhibin in cancer
No full textStudy on frequency distribution of serum inhibin levels - a peptide hormone involved in suppression of follicle stimulating hormone - was carried out using a specific radioimmunoassay developed in this laboratory, on 237 sera from normal men and women, from male and female patients with cancer prostate, lung, stomach and breast, and from patients with non-malignant disease of the respective organ. The mean serum inhibin levels in patients with malignant and non-malignant disease of prostate (90 ± 19 ng/ml and 54 ± 8 ng/ml) were significantly higher than found in normal men (31 ± 9 ng/ml). However, the levels in cancer of stomach (70 ± 9 ng/ml) and lung (45 ± ng/ml) were higher than those in normal as well as benign condition of stomach and lung. The mean serum inhibin in case of women with cancer of breast (27 ± 5 ng/ml) and lung (53 ±16 ng/ml) were significantly higher than those found in normal women (15 ± 2 ng/ml) and in women with benign disease of breast (10 ± 3 ng/ml) and lung (21 ± 4 ng/ml). Considering the levels in individual patient basis, 66% of the patients with cancer of stomach had higher inhibin concentration than the uppermost limit of inhibin found in normal men and in contrast none in benign disease of stomach
