Peritoneal lymphomatosis (PL) is a rare lymphoid neoplasm in dogs. A nine-year-old spayed female Labrador retriever presented with pleural and peritoneal effusions. Diagnostic imaging revealed diffuse nodular to massive lesions in the mesentery, particularly in the caudal abdomen. While the superficial lymph nodes did not show significant changes, enlargement was observed in the intra-abdominal and intra-thoracic lymph nodes. Cytological and flow cytometric analyses of the effusion indicated the presence of large B-cell lymphocytes expressing CD3-/CD5-/CD14-/CD21-/CD34+/CD45+/CD79a+. PL was diagnosed using diagnostic imaging and fluid analysis. This case report highlights the clinical and diagnostic features of canine PL.

Let’s Shop! Exploring the Experiences of Therapy Shoppers

Minjeong Kang,Kim K. P. Johnson 한국마케팅과학회 2010 Journal of Global Fashion Marketing Vol.1 No.2

Retail therapy is casually defined as shopping for the primary purpose of making oneself feel better. Individuals’desire to assuage their negative moods is an important personal need. Successful mood management affects emotional well-being and perceived quality of life. Thus, this research was designed to enhance understanding of retail therapy as a form of consumer behavior by investigating consumer’s experiences during three shopping stages: pre-shopping, shopping, and post-shopping. The following research questions were developed to achieve this goal. R1: What kinds of negative moods lead to therapy shopping? How often do people use shopping as therapy? R2: What reasons do people offer for their use of shopping as therapy? R3: What are the key components of a therapeutic shopping experience? R4: What is the profile of the therapy shopper? R5: What are the post therapy experiences of shoppers? R6: What is the role of the product purchased in alleviating mood? Retail therapy has been studied from two different approaches: mood-alleviative consumption (Kacen, 1998; Kacen and Friese, 1999; Luomala, 2002) and compensatory consumption (Woodruffe, 1997; Yurchisin, Yan, Watchravesringkan, and Chen, 2008). For the first approach, shopping and buying are considered mood-regulatory devices.Individuals experiencing bad moods shop and make purchases to repair or lighten their mood. In contrast, compensatory consumption researchers view shopping and buying as a form of compensation for perceived psychosocial deficiencies. The approach adopted in the current research was mood-alleviation consumption. Luomala (2002) emphasized the existence of qualitatively different negative moods and labeled them as irritation, stress, and dejection. Luomala also identified eight types of therapeutic power stemming from different mood-alleviative consumption activities. Shopping and purchasing were linked to three types of therapeutic powers: the ability to improve mood by distraction, by being self-indulgent, and by feeling activated (e.g., stimulation of senses) In the current study, self-identified therapy shoppers (n = 43) participated in in-depth interviews. All interviews were recorded and transcribed. To analyze the data, several cycles of analysis were conducted. Analysis began with identification of the details of each response. From the concrete level, statements were grouped together to identify themes of content. This process of interpretation was repeated for all research questions. Participants represented demographic diversity with the exception of gender. The majority of participants were women. About half of the participants were young adults between 20 and 39 years of age. Slightly less than half were middle-aged people between 40 and 59 years of age. About half of the participants were European Americans, while the other half represented Asian and African Americans. The majority of participants was employed full-time in a variety of industries and had annual incomes between $25,000 and $99,999. In the pre-shopping stage, all dimensions of negative moods (i.e., stress, dejection, anger) lead to therapy shopping. When experiencing negative moods, most participants went shopping to alleviate them more than half of the time. There was not a clear pattern exhibited linking the frequency of experiencing a negative mood with the frequency of going shopping to alleviate it. Participants provided various justifications for their behavior. Shopping provided a positive distraction, an escape, an indulgence, an elevation in self-esteem, activation, a sense of control, and a social connection. Improvement of mood stemmed from imagining consumption, experiencing retail environments, being well-treated by sales associates, shopping activity, and purchasing.

The existing online content providers have largely focused on the pay-contents such as adult magazines, music, games, sports, and other entertainment contents (Wang et al., 2005). Crosbie (2002) reported that only 12% of the U.S. population responded that they would pay for the online contents. However, as various types of media are increasing with the development of high-tech information technology like smart phones, etc, many ways to provide such contents were released. The worldwide content markets are expected to grow up to 1.87 trillion won in 2015 with the average annual growth rate of 5.7% (Seoul Economy, 2013.04.21). The annual income coming from the contents used for mobile handsets and tablets is expected to increase by almost $25 billion in the next three years, reaching $65 billion by 2016, a new report from Juniper Research. This study examines the infrastructure as an independent variable that may have an impact on the consumer’s purchase intention toward mobile contents. Specifically, this research confirms the impact of two infrastructure variables - ‘ease of accessibility with the mobile contents’ and ‘community’ on consumer’s purchase intention on mobile contents, select ‘perceived interactivity’ as a moderating variable that may add to this positive impact, and identify if ‘perceived interactivity’ can moderate the relationship between each independent variable and consumer’s purchase intention on mobile contents, which is a dependent variable. As a result, it was found that ‘perceived interactivity with the mobile contents moderate the relationship between each independent variable (‘ease of accessibility with mobile contents’ or ‘community’) and the consumer’s purchase intention on the mobile contents.

Impact of The Information System of The Internet Contents on Consumers’ Willingness to Pay for The Internet Contents : -The Mediating Effect of The Perceived Quality on The Internet Contents-

Internet Contents’ Magnetization has become an important issue. This study finds the factors that affect the consumer's willingness to pay for the internet contents. Therefore, this study shows ways to increase the competitiveness of the internet contents. Specifically, this research analyzes the impact of the information quality and system quality of the internet contents on the consumer’s willing to pay for the internet contents and verifies the mediating role of the consumer’s perceived quality on the internet contents between the information quality (the system quality) and the consumer’s willingness to pay for the internet contents. The information quality of the internet contents is classified as informativeness and security on the basis of Lin (2007). As a result, each of the two variables(informativeness, security) has a positive impact on the consumer’s willing to pay for the internet contents. Also, system quality has a positive impact on the consumer’s willing to pay for the internet contents. Lastly, the results also revealed that the consumer’s perceived quality on the internet contents mediated the effect of these three variables (informativeness, security, system quality) on the consumer’s willingness to pay for the internet contents.

특허 소송은 혁신 혹은 지적 재산권의 보호 수단으로서 알려져 있다. 그러나 특허 시장이 증대됨에 따라 경쟁사의 진입을 방해하기 위한 전략적 수단으로 특허 소송의 활용 범위가 증대되었다. 특허 소송에 연루될 가능성은 기업이 가지고 있는 특허의 양질이 증대할수록 높아진다고 밝혀져 왔다. 그러므로 혁신을 추구하는 기업의 입장에서는 특허 소송에 연루될 가능성을 최대한 낮출 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 인쇄 전자 산업 내 기업의 과거 제휴 활동이 특허품질과 특허 소송의 관계에 미칠 수 있는 영향력에 대해 분석하였다. 특허 품질과 특허 소송의 관계에 대한 기존 연구결과를 재 입증함과 더불어 피고인 관점의 특허 소송에 대한 연구를 진행하여 기업의 제휴 활동이 특허 소송을 낮춘다는 결과를 도출하였다. 예컨대, 평균치의 특허를 지닌 기업에 대해 과거 제휴 활동의 유무가 연간 특허 소송률을 약 33% 낮추는 것을 실증적으로 입증하였다. 본 연구가 특허 소송과 전략적 제휴에 관한 기존 문헌에 기여하는 바는 다음과 같다. 기업의 과거 전략적 제휴가 평판으로서의 역할을 하여 특허 소송을 감소시킴을 확인함으로써 기존 전략적 제휴 관련 문헌에 기여한다. 또한, 특허 품질이 특허 소송에 미치는 영향력에 대한 새로운 조절 변수를 밝혀냄으로써 기존 특허 소송 관련 문헌에 기여한다. 더불어, 본 연구는 특허 소송을 피고인 관점에서 분석한 최초의 연구라는 점에서 매우 의미가 있다. Patent litigation has been considered as a tool to protect and facilitate innovation. Ironically, yet, the misguided uses of patent litigation as a strategic tool for vigilance against competitors are acting as a hindrance for innovation. Previous studies show that the better the quality of a patent, the higher the chance of the patent being litigated. Therefore, it is particularly important for the innovating firms to take strategic precautions to minimize the risk of patent litigation. This study investigates the moderating role of firms’ past alliance experiences on the relationship between patent quality and patent litigation from the perspective of a defendant. A unique dataset on patents, infringement lawsuits, and firm performances in the printed electronics industry confirms that firms’ previous alliance experiences mitigate the impact of patent quality on infringement litigation. For instance, the results confirm that the presence of past alliance experience reduces the litigation rate by 33% for firms with median-quality patents. This paper makes two major contributions. First, it contributes to the literature on alliance experience by confirming its role as a reputation in mitigating future litigations. Second, this paper contributes to the literature on patent litigation by identifying a unique moderator, i.e., alliance experience, on the linkage between patent quality and litigation. An innovating firm is likely to become an alleged infringer under a false accusation. Therefore, this paper focuses on firms that partake in infringement lawsuits unwillingly. Despite the importance, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate patent litigations from the perspective of defendants.
