THE IMPACT OF SALES MANAGERS’ MARKET ORIENTATION ON MARKETING-SALES CONFLICT AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE
Konstantinos Lionakis,George J. Avlonitis 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2014 Global Marketing Conference Vol.2014 No.2
This paper is exploring the role of market orientation adoption by the Sales managers in the creation of effective cross functional relationship between Marketing and Sales and in company performance. Based on data collected from both Marketing and Sales managers in 132 consumer packaged goods companies, the study shows that higher levels of market orientation by the Sales managers are reducing the level of Marketing-Sales conflict as perceived by the Marketing managers and enhancing important performance metrics. The implications of the study for both theory and practice are discussed.
The Elasticity of Substitution across Maturities in International Capital Markets: A Simple Test
( Konstantinos Drakos ) 세종대학교 경제통합연구소 (구 세종대학교 국제경제연구소) 2005 Journal of Economic Integration Vol.20 No.4
The paper tests the hypothesis of a maturity-independent foreign exchange risk premium or equivalently of a constant elasticity of substitution of international assets across the maturity spectrum. The empirical findings indicate that elasticity of substitution is indeed a function of maturity. In addition, the premia are found to be a monotonic function of the maturity distance between assets.

Objective: The aim the study was to calculate remission, recovery and relapse rates in first episode patients with schizophrenia (FES) vs. patients at a later phase (non-FES). Methods: Thirty-two FES and 101 non-FES patients took part in the study. The assessment included testing at baseline and at 1 year with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Calgary Depression scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Udvalg for Kliniske Undersøgelser (UKU) scale, Simpson Angus, and General Assessment of Functioning (GAF) subscale. The statistical analysis included chi-square test and analysis of covariance. Results: At baseline 15.62% FES vs. 10.89% non-FES patients were in remission; none of FES vs. 2.97% non-FES patients were in recovery. At endpoint, the respective figures were 12.50% vs. 25.00% and 3.12% vs. 3.96%. None of the differences in rates was significant between the two groups except from the percentage of patients being under medication (higher in the non-FES group). Baseline PANSS negative subscale (PANSS-N) was the only predictor of the outcome at endpoint. Conclusion: The current study reported very low rates of remission and recovery of patients with schizophrenia without any differences between FES and non-FES patients. One possibility is that the increased antipsychotic treatment compensates for the worsening of the illness with time. An accumulating beneficial effect of antipsychotic treatment suggested that early lack of remission is not prognostic of a poor outcome.
Review : Methanogens, Methane and Gastrointestinal Motility
( Konstantinos Triantafyllou ),( Christopher Chang ),( Mark Pimentel ) 대한소화기기능성질환·운동학회(구 대한소화관운동학회) 2014 Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility (JNM Vol.20 No.1
Anaerobic fermentation of the undigested polysaccharide fraction of carbohydrates produces hydrogen in the intestine which is the substrate for methane production by intestinal methanogens. Hydrogen and methane are excreted in the flatus and in breath giving the opportunity to indirectly measure their production using breath testing. Although methane is detected in 30%-50% of the healthy adult population worldwide, its production has been epidemiologically and clinically associated with constipation related diseases, like constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome and chronic constipation. While a causative relation is not proven yet, there is strong evidence from animal studies that methane delays intestinal transit, possibly acting as a neuromuscular transmitter. This evidence is further supported by the universal finding that methane production (measured by breath test) is associated with delayed transit time in clinical studies. There is also preliminary evidence that antibiotic reduction of methanogens (as evidenced by reduced methane production) predicts the clinical response in terms of symptomatic improvement in patients with constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome. However, we have not identified yet the mechanism of action of methane on intestinal motility, and since methane production does not account for all constipation associated cases, there is need for high quality clinical trials to examine methane as a biomarker for the diagnosis or as a biomarker that predicts antibiotic treatment response in patients with constipation related disorders.

Common Factors in Eurocurrency Rates: A Dynamic Analysis
( Konstantinos Drakos ) 세종대학교 경제통합연구소 (구 세종대학교 국제경제연구소) 2002 Journal of Economic Integration Vol.17 No.1
The paper explores the issue of integration in the Eurocurrency market. In particular, by using information from the short end of the Eurodollar, Euromark and the Eurosterling term structures we focus on their multivariate correlation structure decomposing it into common (systemic) and idiosyncratic components. The empirical analysis employs the Johansen Multivariate Cointegration methodology and the Principal Components Analysis in order to test for the presence of any dynamic common factors among the selected Eurocurrency interest rates. The findings provide evidence in favour of an integrated market.

The effects of different solvents on the recovery of (i) extractable solids (ES), (ii) totalphenolic compounds (TPC), (iii) total flavonoid content (TFC), (iv) vitamin C, and (v) antioxidant activityfrom lemon pomace waste were investigated. The results revealed that solvents significantly affectedthe recovery of ES, TPC, TFC, and antioxidant properties. Absolute methanol and 50% acetone resultedin the highest extraction yields of TPC, whereas absolute methanol resulted in the highest extraction ofTFC, and water had the highest recovery of vitamin C. 50% ethanol, and 50% acetone had higherextraction yields for TPC, and TFC, as well as higher antioxidant activity compared with their absolutesolvents and water. TPC and TFC were shown to be the major components contributing to theantioxidant activity of lemon pomace.

The construction of Reinforced Concrete (R/C) buildings with unreinforced masonry infills is part of the traditional building practice in many countries with regions of high seismicity throughout the world. When these buildings are subjected to seismic motions the presence of masonry infills and especially their configuration can highly influence the seismic damage state. The capability to avoid configurations of masonry infills prone to seismic damage at the stage of initial architectural concept would be significantly definitive in the context of Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering. Along these lines, the present paper investigates the potential of instant prediction of the damage response of R/C buildings with various configurations of masonry infills utilizing Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). To this end, Multilayer Feedforward Perceptron networks are utilized and the problem is formulated as pattern recognition problem. The ANNs’ training data-set is created by means of Nonlinear Time History Analyses of 5 R/C buildings with a large number of different masonry infills' distributions, which are subjected to 65 earthquakes. The structural damage is expressed in terms of the Maximum Interstorey Drift Ratio. The most significant conclusion which is extracted is that the ANNs can reliably estimate the influence of masonry infills’ configurations on the seismic damage level of R/C buildings incorporating their optimum design.

A typical bile duct branching patterns represent one of the major causes of bile duct injury (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The most common classified variations of bile duct branching, involve the right posterior sectoral duct (RPSD) and its joining with the right anterior or left hepatic duct. Variant bile duct anatomy can rarely be extremely complex and unclassified. This report describes an extremely rare case of an isolated injury to an aberrant right hepatic duct formed by the joining of ducts from segments V, VII, and VIII draining into the cystic duct (cysticohepatic duct) during LC, associated with an inferior RPSD opening to left hepatic duct. Detailed evaluation of both endoscopic and magnetic cholangiograms established the diagnosis. Bile duct injury was subsequently managed surgically by a demanding Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. This extremely rare case aims to serve as a useful reminder of the consistent inconsistency of biliary anatomy, alerting surgeons to beware of variant bile duct branching patterns during open or LC that constitute a dreadful pitfall for severe and life-threatening bile duct injuries.
