Willingness to Pay for Sustainable Food in the Meeting Planning Sector
Susan L Slocum,진내현,조인숙 (사)한국조리학회 2018 한국조리학회지 Vol.24 No.7
This paper explores the growth of sustainable food in the meetings, conventions, incentives, and exhibitions (MICE) industry. Using a survey of meeting planners in 24 conference cities in the United States, this research investigates willingness to pay (WTP) for a variety of sustainable food options and the characteristics of the organizations that support price premiums for these foods. The results indicate that there is no significant difference between service areas, however private companies and those that promote themselves as ‘green’ are willing to pay more for sustainable food menus. This paper explores the growth of sustainable food in the meetings, conventions, incentives, and exhibitions industry. Using a survey of meeting planners in key conference cities in the United States, this research looks at willingness to pay for a variety of sustainable food options and the characteristics of the organizations that support price premiums for these menu items. The results provide interesting points which future scholars should continue to investigate. In particular, it shows that meeting planners are still reluctant to choose sustainable food options. Instead, consumer eating habits appear to be more important, such as vegetarian, gluten-free and healthy food options.
STRATEGIC ALLIANCES: ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL INFLUENCES
John W Slocum,David Lei,Robert A Pitts 사람과세계경영학회 1996 Global Business and Finance Review Vol.1 No.1
The role of strategic alliances in shaping a firm's competitive advantage is examined. Economic and cultural forces that influence the stability and learning potential of alliances are reviewed. A framework for integrating both economic and cultural forces is suggested.
Regulation of Notch1 Signaling by Nrf2: Implications for Tissue Regeneration
Wakabayashi, N.,Shin, S.,Slocum, S. L.,Agoston, E. S.,Wakabayashi, J.,Kwak, M.-K.,Misra, V.,Biswal, S.,Yamamoto, M.,Kensler, T. W. American Association for the Advancement of Scienc 2010 Science signaling Vol.3 No.130
<P>The Keap1-Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway elicits an adaptive response for cell survival after endogenous and exogenous stresses, such as inflammation and carcinogens, respectively. Keap1 inhibits the transcriptional activation activity of Nrf2 (p45 nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-related factor 2) in unstressed cells by facilitating its degradation. Through transcriptional analyses in Keap1- or Nrf2-disrupted mice, we identified interactions between the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE and the Notch1 signaling pathways. We found that Nrf2 recognized a functional antioxidant response element (ARE) in the promoter of Notch1. Notch1 regulates processes such as proliferation and cell fate decisions. We report a functional role for this cross talk between the two pathways and show that disruption of Nrf2 impeded liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy and was rescued by reestablishment of Notch1 signaling.</P>

Background: Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is uncommon, but growing in incidence. Traditionally an inpatient operation, a growing number are performed outpatient, consistent with general trends in orthopedic surgery. The aim of this study was to compare TEA outcomes between inpatient and outpatient surgical settings. Secondarily, we sought to identify patient characteristics that predict the operative setting. Methods: Patient data were collected from the American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program. Preoperative variables, including patient demographics and comorbidities, were recorded, and baseline differences were assessed via multivariate regression to predict operative setting. Multivariate regression was also used to compare postoperative complications within 30 days. Results: A total of 468 patients, 303 inpatient and 165 outpatient procedures, were identified for inclusion. Hypoalbuminemia (odds ratio [OR], 2.5; P=0.029), history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder or pneumonia (OR, 2.4; P=0.029), and diabetes mellitus (OR, 2.5; P=0.001) were significantly associated with inpatient TEA, as were greater odds of any complication (OR, 4.1; P<0.001) or adverse discharge (OR, 4.5; P<0.001) and decreased odds of reoperation (OR, 0.4; P=0.037). Conclusions: Patients undergoing inpatient TEA are generally more comorbid, and inpatient surgery is associated with greater odds of complications and adverse discharge. However, we found higher rates of reoperation in outpatient TEA. Our findings suggest outpatient TEA is safe, although patients with a higher comorbidity burden may require inpatient surgery. Level of evidence: III.
