This paper reports on an empirical study that investigates the information disclosure behavior on Social Network Sites (SNS) focusing on undergraduate University students as our population. Although much have been reported on the issue of information privacy or privacy leakage on SNS, very few have employed the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) as

For someone to be acknowledged in Social Network Sites (SNS), he/she needs to reveal his/her identity. How far personal information SNS users want to disclose is determined by their assessment of threat and ability to control the information. By adopting protection motivation theory (PMT) as a framework, incorporated with trust and risk factor, thi

This case details the characteristics of a bossy, authoritative, prejudiced, close-minded, and destructive critical leader whose approach to de

Effect of different coupling agents; silane (APS) and maleic anhydride grafted PP (MAPP) on the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) composites were determined and compared. The composites with low filler loadings; up to 12wt%, were prepared via melt mixing in a twin screw extruder followed by injection mould

Introduction: We aim to investigate the effect of vasectomy on the histology of the testis as well as to evaluate DNA fragmentation in testicular tissue of male mice. Methods: Bilateral vasectomy was performed on 20 mature male mice; 10 control mice underwent sham-operation. After 6 weeks, the testes were evaluated for histological changes and DNA

The effects of treated nano-sized aluminum tryhidrate (ATH) inclusion on the mechanical and flame retardancy properties of rigid polyvinyl (chloride) (PVC) have been studied. PVC-ATH nanocomposites were fabricated using two-roll mills and compression moulding with different concentration of ATH, ranging from 5 – 30 phr. A silane coupling agent wa
