Adoption of Home Service Robots: Exploring Household Differences in Perceived Usefulness by Minjun Kim

“…An online survey of 400 participants was analyzed using partial least-squares structural equation modeling. The results indicate that the perceived usefulness of robots in performing basic household chores (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\beta =0.34$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, p-value &#x003C;0.01) and leisure and companionship tasks (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\beta =0.32$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, p-value &#x003C;0.01) significantly affects intention to adopt across household types, whereas their perceived usefulness in handling complex household chores (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\beta = -0.33$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, p-value &#x003C;0.01) and healthcare tasks (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\beta =0.24$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, p-value &#x003C;0.05) varies depending on household composition. …”

Virus-induced perturbations in the mouse microbiome are impacted by microbial experience by Shanley N. Roach, Wendy Phillips, Lauren M. Pross, Autumn E. Sanders, Mark J. Pierson, Ryan C. Hunter, Ryan A. Langlois

“…Altogether, these results highlight the differential impact of housing, infection, and interaction between the two in dictating community composition across the gastrointestinal microbiome.IMPORTANCETraditionally housed pathogen-free mouse models do not fully capture the natural variability observed among human microbiomes, which may underlie their poor translationally predictive value. …”
