The aim of this research is to determine the impact of property management services on tenants’ satisfaction with the three identified variables. Structural equation modelling (SEM) is applied to build constructs and test the hypotheses with the collected survey samples. Of the three variables, facility management is the most influential factor that leads to tenant satisfaction with industrial buildings. Next, perceived quality is another important factor that contributes to tenants’ pleasure. Compared with these two, lease management fares worse, having the least extensive effect on tenant satisfaction, and could be disregarded. The ultimate impact of tenant satisfaction is about tenant retention and recommendation. The overall findings of this research will potentially help real estate developers to develop a better property management system, leasing program and tenant retention strategy.

This study investigated the effects of (10Z)-1-[(5Z,8Z)-tetradeca-5,8-dienoyloxy]-3-[(Z)-tetradec-8-enoyloxy]propan-2-yl hexadec-10-enoate (TTPH) from garlic on the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2)systems in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. The TTPH dose-dependently reduced nitriteaccumulation and production of prostaglandin E2 in the supernatants of LPS-stimulated macrophages. Markedly reducediNOS and COX-2 enzyme activities were observed in Western blots. In addition, a dose-dependent change in mRNAexpression was recorded using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses. Moreover, TTPH exerted antiinflammatoryactivity by inducing heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression; this was supported by the use of the HO-1inhibitor protoporphyrin IX, which abolished the inhibitory effect of TTPH on the production of nitric oxide, tumornecrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated macrophages. These observations indicate thatTTPH inhibits the expression of iNOS and COX-2, and up-regulates HO-1 in activated macrophages. The possiblelink of this effect to the beneficial features attributed to garlic is discussed.

In the current competitive marketplace of real estate business, tenant satisfaction measurement is one of the important indicators to monitor competitiveness in industrial property development. It has become an industry standard to measure tenant satisfaction, commonly called customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction has become the widely used metric to manage customer loyalty (Keiningham, Gupta, Aksoy, & Buoye, 2014). The aim of this research is to determine the impact of property management services on tenants’ satisfaction with the three identified variables i.e. facility management, perceived quality and lease management. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is applied to build constructs and test the hypotheses with the collected survey samples. Of the three variables, facility management is the most influential factor that leads to tenant satisfaction with industrial buildings. Next, perceived quality is another important factor that contributes to tenants’ pleasure. Compared with these two, lease management fares worse, having the least extensive effect on tenant satisfaction, and could be disregarded. The ultimate impact of tenant satisfaction is about tenant retention and recommendation. The overall findings of this research will potentially help real estate developers to develop a better property management system, leasing program and tenant retention strategy.

A. Seetharaman,Nitin Patwa,Indu Niranjan,Srinivas Phani Kavuri 한국유통과학회 2016 The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Busine Vol.3 No.4

The research aims to help merchant acquiring institutions gain a better insight on what merchant establishments in the Singapore market perceive of the costs they incur due to credit card acceptance. The research attempts to study the Singapore market and establish if increased credit card usage does increase costs for the merchant establishments that accept credit cards, this will help to acquire institutions in Singapore have a better understanding of merchant perceptions and what drives or deters credit card acceptance in the Singapore market. The survey was based on an interview of merchant establishments and the views of the merchants and was not based on their financial data. As a first step, the variables used in the survey were tested for interdependence using Chi-square tests; subsequently data reduction using factor analysis was performed and finally linear regression to establish a relation between dependent and independent variables. Merchant establishment believe accepting credit cards and increasing volume is costlier compared to another form of payment, but have mixed awareness about interchange fee. It also indicated that interchange fee and cardholder benefits are independent of the merchant establishments. The study only broadly attempts to gauge merchants view if increased credit card usage has increased costs for them.

마늘(Allium sativum)의 주요 생리활성 성분들은 다양한 종류의 암에 대해 항암효과가 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 활성추적분리방법(activity-guided purification)을 이용하여 마늘의 항암성분을 발굴하고자 하였다. 마늘 에탄올 추출물을 칼럼크로마토그래피로 얻은 각각의 분획물에 대해서 AGS세포의 증식 억제율을 검증하여 가장 효과가 좋은 분획물로부터 물질을 순수분리하여 구조를 동정한 결과 N-benzyl-N-methyldecan-1-amine (NBNMA)로 밝혀졌다. NBNMA의 암생장 억제효능을 검증하기 위해서 CT-26, AGS, HepG2, HCT-116, MCF7, B16F10 및 Sarcoma-180 세포에 대한 in vitro 효과와 CT-26 결장암 세포를 마우스에 이식한 다음 in vivo 효과를 조사하였다. NBNMA는 Bcl-2의 down-regulation과 Bad의 up-regulation을 유도하여 CT-26 세포의 세포사멸 촉진시켰다. 또한, NBNMA는 세포사멸의 외적 및 내적 경로에서 caspases 억제자인 caspase 3과 caspase 9의 활성을 약간 증가시켰다. CT-26세포를 이식한 쥐에 19.13μM/kg의 NBNMA를 21일 동안 경구투여한 결과 암종의 크기가 43% 감소하였다. NBNMA는 in vitro 및 in vivo에서 항암 효과를 나타내었는데, 이러한 결과는 마늘로부터 순수분리한 NBNMA가 대장암치료를 위한 항암제 후보물질로서 활용 가능성이 있을 것으로 기대된다. A components of garlic (Allium sativum) have anti-proliferative effects against various types of cancer. We aimed to investigate the capacity of garlic compounds to anti-tumor on a various cancer cell lines. Fractionation of garlic extract, guided by antiproliferative activity against human gastric cancer (AGS) cells, has resulted in the isolation of N-benzyl-N-methyldecan-1-amine (NBNMA). We investigated the effect of newly isolated NBNMA from garlic cloves on the inhibition of the growth of CT-26, AGS, HepG2, HCT-116, MCF7, B16F10, and Sarcoma-180 cells for in vitro and CT-26 colon carcinoma cells in vivo. NBNMA exhibited an antiproliferative effect in CT-26 cells by apoptotic cell death. NBNMA exhibited down-regulation of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins and up-regulation of apoptotic Bad protein expression in western blot analyses. In addition, NBNMA meagre activated caspase 3 and caspase 9, initiator caspases of the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of apoptosis. NBNMA treatment at a dose of 10 mg/kg for 21 days in experimental mice implanted with tumors resulted in significant reduction of the tumor weight (43%). NBNMA exhibited both in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity. These results indicate that NBNMA has promising potential to become a novel anticancer agent from garlic cloves for the treatment of colon carcinoma cancer.
