Failure of Value Co-creation; Co-destruction of Brand Value in Social Media by Ghazale Taheri, Azim Zarei, Davood Feiz, Mehdi Dehghani soltani

“…Conclusion The findings indicate that the co-destruction of brand value arises from the reciprocal and concurrent negative participation of both customers and companies. In such a way that if during the process of value formation, one of the parties refuses to share resources or abuses them, it increases the possibility of hatred, rejection, and ultimately the destruction of the brand. …”

Expression and delivery of HA1-M2e antigen using an innovative attenuated Salmonella–mediated delivery system confers promising protection against H9N2 avian influenza challenge by Ram Prasad Aganja, In-Shik Kim, Hyun-Jin Tae, John Hwa Lee

“…Post-challenge, birds immunized with vaccine candidates or the commercial vaccine exhibited minimal to no clinical signs, reduced lesions, lower lung viral titers, and negligible impacts on egg production compared to controls. In conclusion, both plasmids successfully delivered HA1-M2e immunogens through the engineered SG strains, eliciting strong humoral, mucosal, and cell-mediated immune responses and co-stimulating MHC class I and II antigen presentation pathways to provide effective protection against H9N2 AIV with minimal adverse effects.…”
