Effects of Customer Knowledge Management on Marketing Management and Results: Case Study in Business Companies, FARS

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of customer knowledge management on marketing management and marketing results in Fars business companies. Statistical population of the present research includes 1135 employees and managers of Fars business companies which with using formula, 290 individuals were questioned with random sampling. To collect data, standard questionnaires including Vorhies & Morgan’s (2005) marketing questionnaire, Ling-Yee’s (2005) marketing management questionnaire, Alegri’s (2011) knowledge management questionnaire were used. In order to confirm their reliability, their coefficient Cronbach's alphas are respectively 0.82, 0.79 and 0.88. For data analysis, inferential statistics, Pearson correlation test, Single variable regression, Path analysis and SPSS software version 22 were used. The results showed that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between customer knowledge management, marketing results(efficiency) and marketing management. Also, knowledge management had a positive and significant impact on marketing management and marketing results. Moreover, proposed conceptual model is supported

Spondyloenchondrodysplasia Due to Mutations in ACP5: A Comprehensive Survey

Purpose: Spondyloenchondrodysplasia is a rare immuno-osseous dysplasia caused by biallelic mutations in ACP5. We aimed to provide a survey of the skeletal, neurological and immune manifestations of this disease in a cohort of molecularly confirmed cases. Methods: We compiled clinical, genetic and serological data from a total of 26 patients from 18 pedigrees, all with biallelic ACP5 mutations. Results: We observed a variability in skeletal, neurological and immune phenotypes, which was sometimes marked even between affected siblings. In total, 22 of 26 patients manifested autoimmune disease, most frequently autoimmune thrombocytopenia and systemic lupus erythematosus. Four patients were considered to demonstrate no clinical autoimmune disease, although two were positive for autoantibodies. In the majority of patients tested we detected upregulated expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), in keeping with the autoimmune phenotype and the likely immune-regulatory function of the deficient protein tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). Two mutation positive patients did not demonstrate an upregulation of ISGs, including one patient with significant autoimmune disease controlled by immunosuppressive therapy. Conclusions: Our data expand the known phenotype of SPENCD. We propose that the OMIM differentiation between spondyloenchondrodysplasia and spondyloenchondrodysplasia with immune dysregulation is no longer appropriate, since the molecular evidence that we provide suggests that these phenotypes represent a continuum of the same disorder. In addition, the absence of an interferon signature following immunomodulatory treatments in a patient with significant autoimmune disease may indicate a therapeutic response important for the immune manifestations of spondyloenchondrodysplasia

Disease activity and disability in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis one year following presentation to paediatric rheumatology. Results from the Childhood Arthritis Prospective Study

Objective. Inflammatory arthritis in childhood is variable in terms of both presentation and outcome. This analysis describes disease activity in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) during the first year following presentation to a paediatric rheumatologist and identifies predictors of moderate to severe disability [defined using a Childhood HAQ (CHAQ) score ⩾0.75] at 1 year
