Predictors of frequency of CF care in the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry. by Alexandra C Hinton, Edmund H Sears, Jonathan B Zuckerman, Sara Lopez-Pintado

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>Frequent visits in those with CF-complications likely reflects higher need, while less frequent visits in male, non-white, and uninsured individuals may reflect patient-preference or structural barriers to care. Risk factors for gaps in care should inform changes to CF care recommendations going forward.…”

Who are MaaS avoiders, wanderers or enthusiasts and what drives their intentions to adopt MaaS? by Zuoxian Gan, Wentao Li

“…To mitigate the confounding effect of group heterogeneity on the MaaS acceptance mechanism, the latent class clustering method was employed to naturally categorize respondents into three distinct groups: MaaS avoiders, wanderers and enthusiasts. A structural equation model was then developed to delineate the path of influence of users' intention to use and to contrast the differences in path coefficients between the different groups. …”

Advancing Self-Social Engineering in Tourism-Related Environmental Management: Integrating Environmental Psychology, Planned Behavior, and Norm Activation Theories by Laila Refiana Said, Fifi Swandari, Sufi Jikrillah, Sausan Sausan, Fathia Azizah

“…By integrating psychological theories such as Environmental Psychology Theory, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and Norm Activation Theory, the purpose of the investigation was to determine the extent of the direct influence of independent variables of perceived environmental quality (PEQ), attitude, subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) on self-social engineering (SSE) and their indirect influence through intention to engage in environmentally responsible behavior (ERB). The structural analysis results from a sample of 191 visitors indicated that the unified model demonstrates a satisfactory predictive capability for SSE. …”

Unpacking the fitness consequences of a warmer spring on an overwintering butterfly by Richard J Walters, Kajsa Karlsson, Filip Beckman, Henrik G Smith, Magne Friberg

“…The full consequences of a warmer post-diapause treatment were partially obscured by an elevated rate of egg laying during the first week, presumably due to a preceding effect of temperature on metabolic rate. Structural equation modelling suggests that the direct and indirect benefits of feeding on nectar as an adult double lifetime fecundity. …”
