Article Abstract

This study tries to find evidence that points towards the best typeface to use in e-commerce websites to maximize usability, trust, loyalty, appearance and overall user satisfaction. We tested the difference between serif and sans serif inside the same font family. A total of 246 volunteers participating in the experiment were asked to complete a set of tasks and a questionnaire on an e-commerce website prototype. We measured task completion time, reading speed and reading comprehension. From the results, using multiple linear regression, we deduced that only gender determines user preferences. Females tend to prefer the serif version of the typeface under study. Although most e-commerce websites use sans serif typefaces, we could not find evidence supporting this decision. The serif and sans serif characteristic inside the same font family does not affect usability on a website, as it was found that it has no impact on reading speed and user preference.

Disordered proteins are of great interest due to their structural features, as they do not have well- defined three-dimensional structures. These proteins, often called intrinsically disordered proteins or regions, play critical roles in various cellular processes and are associated with the development of a number of diseases. Our in silico research focused on the investigation of protein complexes that include both ordered proteins, such as 14-3-3γ, and proteins containing intrinsically disordered regions, such as nucleocapsid (N) of SARS-CoV-2 and p53.

The game series has utilized in-game posters as both decorative and narrative elements, which have helped it shape its post-apocalyptic world. These posters often serve as (satirical) propaganda and reflect the societal structures, ideologies, and conflicts of the game's dystopian setting. This study analyzes all propaganda-themed posters from six role-playing video games (1997-2018) to examine their multimodal features and propaganda techniques.
