Intracranial teratomas represent a rare lesion accounting for 0.1%–0.7% of all intracranial tumors. Those in the fourth ventricle have rarely been reported. The present case is that of a 28-year-old man with occipital headache for two months. MRI examination revealed a well-defined extra-axial cystic lesion in posterior fossa in the midline herniating through the foramen magnum. Pre operatively, the mass was seen to be occupying the whole of the posterior fossa and arising from the roof of the fourth ventricle. On gross examination, the lesion had both solid and cystic components. Histopathological examination showed multiple cystic areas lined by brain tissue admixed with islands of cartilage and salivary gland elements and intestinal type glands. A diagnosis of mature cystic teratoma was made.
PurposeThe current study employs a modified framework of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to predict students' intention to adopt online learning in India. The moderating role of openness to change in influencing the proposed relationships is also assessed.Design/methodology/approachA structured questionnaire was emailed to 650 students enrolled in various courses in public and private universities in India. In total 424 responses were considered for analysis using structural equation modeling (SEM). Moderation analysis was carried out with multi-group SEM and chi-square difference tests.FindingsThe results reveal that there is a significant impact of performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FS) and perceived security (PS) on students' intention to adopt online learning. Further, openness to change moderates the impact of PE, FS and PS on intention of students to opt for online learning.Originality/valueThis study is one of the initial efforts to examine the factors affecting students' intention to adopt online learning at the onset of third wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in India. Besides the factors of the UTAUT model, this study highlights the importance of PS and openness to change in influencing students' intention to opt for online learning.
Marketing sector has undergone a paradigm shift in its practices which results in shifting of power from firms to customers.
