This study examines the relationship between social media marketing and brand loyalty through brand trust. Respondents were drawn from customers of McDonald's, Malang City, East Java Province, Indonesia. For this study, 130 questionnaires were distributed and data were analyzed using the Structure Equation Model (SEM) version 22 of the AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structure) application. The results showed that social media marketing had an impact on increasing McDonald's brand trust and brand loyalty. Brand trust influences brand loyalty and brand trust can mediate the influence of social media marketing on McDonald's brand loyalty. The findings prove that brand trust can mediate the effect of social media marketing on customer loyalty to McDonald's brand. These results can be explained by the fact that marketing strategies through social media marketing, such as making it easy for customers to get information related to McDonald's on social media, can contribute to customer trust and that trust is formed because McDonald's always pays attention to the quality of the products offered. Brand trust can mediate the influence of social media marketing on customer loyalty to McDonald's brand. This means that information related to McDonald's on social media is proportional to the quality of the product offered.

As many people all over the world increasingly take more time in exchanging with other people or acquiring information on the internet, use of social media becomes a part of their daily lives. A lot of changes of consumer culture, which have been occurring through social media, have significant effects on corporate marketing activities. Since social media's importance to airlines has been continuously increased, this study attempts to examine effects of passengers' uses of social media, who plan to select an airline, on dependence on reliance of electronic word-of mouth(EWOM) and EWOM acceptance. To this end, a questionnaire survey of passengers who use airlines and the airline's social media was conducted, and then effective data of 302 copies were analyzed by using the structural equation modeling. The findings show that social media use intensity has a significant effect on Acceptance of EWOM via reliance of EWOM, while a direct effect of social media use intensity on Acceptance of EWOM is not significant. From this study, it is found that control and management of social media and only EWOM are effective tools for marketing of airline businesses, suggesting that innovative strategies are required to preemptively cope with changes in consumers' behaviors and markets, which continue to evolve.

There are many design parameters affecting filtration efficiency such as filteration rate, media packing depth, size distribution, and so on. The sphericity, the ratio of the surface area of an equal volume sphere to the real surface area of the particles, is one of major physical characters of media. The effect of sphericity on the performance of anthracite filter has been investigated. Media from eight water treatment plants have been collected. The sphericity of each media has been calculated by using well known headloss equations such as Kozeny equation, Dahmarajah equation etc.. Columns packed with anthracite media having different sphericity have been used to compare headloss development, floc accumulation in the bed, particles in bed water, filtrate turbidities after backwash and so on. The repeated experiments have indicated that the sphericity of anthracite media may not have remarkable influence on the filter performance as it has been suspected. It also has been prospected in the experiment that the media of higher sphericity would store more particles in the bed and give better filtrate quality, if provided that the effective size and the size distribution of media would be the same.

Purpose: This study aims at investigating how high-tech SMEs can enhance innovation performance through the application and distribution of social media strategic capability and whether entrepreneurial orientation moderates the relationship between social media strategic capability and innovation. Research design, data, and methodology: The study followed a deductive approach based on the quantitative design in investigating the proposed relationships. The data was collected using a questionnaire, and the proposed relationships were examined based on a sample of 221 high-tech SMEs through the application of structural equation modeling (SEM). By applying SEM, this study accounted for hidden and unobservable factors as well as reconciled the potential measurement errors. Results: As hypothesized, it was confirmed that social media strategic capability positively influences innovation performance. Besides, the findings supported the moderating effect of three dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation (innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking) toward the relationship between social media strategic capability and innovation performance. Conclusions: According to the results, high-tech SMEs can enhance their innovation performance through social media by distributing and applying social media strategic capability along with entrepreneurial orientation. This study thereby enriches the literature of innovation on high-tech SMEs for implementing social media strategies as well as stimulating future social media research for entrepreneurship.

최근 소셜미디어 이용이 심리적 웰빙에 미치는 영향이 부각되고 있으나 어떤 요소가 소셜미디어 상에서의 관계의 질을 예측할 수 있는지에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 드물다. 본 연구는 머신러닝 기법을 이용하여 COVID-19로 인한 자가격리 동안 인스타그램 활동과 외로움, 우울 등의 심리 상태가 소셜미디어 상에서의 관계의 질을 예측할 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 성인 95명을 대상으로 자가격리 중과 자가격리 해제 후 시점에서 외로움, 인스타그램 활동, 소셜미디어 상에서의 관계, 우울 등에 대해 자기보고식 설문에 응답하도록 하였다. 그 후, 다차원 척도법과 표상유사성분석, 분류분석을 각 시점에 대해 수행하였다. 다차원척도법 결과, 1차원에서 인스타그램 이용 시간과 우울이 다른 변인들과 구별되었으며, 2차원에서 외로움과 수동적 이용이 다른 변인들과 구별되었다. 그 후 소셜미디어 상에서의 관계의 질의 고,저 집단에 대해 표상유사성분석을 실시한 결과, 소셜미디어 상에서의 관계의 질이 높은 집단은 낮은 집단보다 자가격리의 영향을 더 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 분류분석 결과에서도 소셜미디어 상에서의 관계의 질 예측 변인이 사회적 고립의 여부에 따라 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 사람들이 사회적 고립 상황에 있지 않을 때 인스타그램 이용 변인과 심리적 변인이 소셜미디어 상에서의 관계를 더 잘 예측할 수 있음을 시사한다.
