The shift of consumers buying preference toward green beauty products can alleviate environmental degradation to a certain extent. This study investigated the factors that could affect non-green purchase intention products. Through lens products, norm activation theory was employed as underpinning in this paper. A quantitative method, based on partial least squares structural equation modelling...

Partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) has been used as a popular research method in various disciplines, including knowledge management (KM). This paper reviews how PLS-SEM KM studies, which focus on sharing the context of virtual community (VC). The review includes 30 articles published from 2007 to 2019. discusses reasons behind use PLS-SEM, data and model characteristi...

Programming concepts are important and challenging to novices who are beginning to study computer programming skills. In addition to the textbook content, students usually learn the concepts of programming from the web; however, it could be difficult for novice learners to effectively derive helpful information from such non-structured open resources. Few studies have addressed this issue by pr...

Effective connectivity in functional neuroimaging studies is defined as the time dependent causal influence that a certain brain region of interest (ROI) exerts on another. A new method of structural equation modeling (SEM) is proposed for analyzing common patterns among multiple subjects’ effective connectivity. The proposed method, called Dynamic GSCANO (Generalized Structured Canonical Corre...
