Nostalgia has an intrinsic association with consumer behaviour. Retrieval of memories drives emotions among consumers and reinforces experience-led buying decisions. Despite nostalgia, and consumption being a common practice at various times in life, issues regarding the nostalgia stimuli on customers' perceptions and buying decisions remain less explored. This article aims at exploring the consumption pattern of adult consumers by analysing the influence of nostalgic behaviour referring to the autobiographic memories and social motivations. It describes the purchase intentions and consumption pattern among adult consumers in the context of self-reference criteria based on nostalgic memories and social motivations. This article offers constructive understanding on establishing relationship between nostalgic memories and consumption pattern over the temporal framework and establishing the brand loyalty and hedonic satisfaction. It contributes to the existing literature by critically examining the theoretical concepts and empirical findings of previous studies on perceptions of consumers on nostalgic emotions and their role in making buying decisions.

This study examines diverse information media in order to identify those formats that are most suitable for consumption via handheld mobile devices, namely, smartphones and tablets. The preferences of the users are measured objectively by analyzing actual data of their relative use of handheld mobile devices and personal computing (PC) desktop devices, including laptops and notebooks, for consumption of information presented in various formats. Our findings are based on Google Analytics pageview data of five course Websites during a period of three semesters, by 11,557 undergraduate students. M-learning contexts were chosen, since in a learning environment the interests of information providers (i.e., the instructors) are in accord with those of the information consumers (i.e., the students), whereas in commercial settings there may be conflicts of interests. Our findings demonstrate that although about 90% of the pageviews were via PC devices, the rate of smartphone use for consuming learning content in diverse information media is gradually increasing as time goes by, whereas the rate of tablet use for these purposes is stagnant. The most promising direction for smartphone development, emanating from the findings, is online video content.

Eyal Solomon, CEO and co-founder of Lunar.dev, joins SE Radio’s Kanchan Shringi for a discussion on tooling for API consumption management. The episode starts by examining why API consumption management is an increasingly important topic, and how existing tooling on the provider side can be inadequate for client-side issues. Eyal talks in detail about issues that are unique to API consumers, before taking a deep dive into the evolution of middleware built by teams and companies to address these issues and the gaps. Finally they consider how Lunar.dev seeks to solve these issues, as well as Eyal's vision of lunar.dev as a open source platform. This episode is sponsored by WorkOS.

The consumption of ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)- or cannabis-containing edibles has increased in recent years; however, the behavioral and neural circuit effects of such consumption remain unknown, especially in the context of ingestion of higher doses resulting in cannabis intoxication. We examined the neural and behavioral effects of acute high-dose edible cannabis consumption (AHDECC). Sprague-Dawley rats (six males, seven females) were implanted with electrodes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), dorsal hippocampus (dHipp), cingulate cortex (Cg), and nucleus accumbens (NAc). Rats were provided access to a mixture of Nutella (6 g/kg) and THC-containing cannabis oil (20 mg/kg) for 10 minutes, during which they voluntarily consumed all of the provided Nutella and THC mixture. Cannabis tetrad and neural oscillations were examined 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after exposure. In another cohort (16 males, 15 females), we examined the effects of AHDECC on learning and prepulse inhibition and serum and brain THC and 11-hydroxy-THC concentrations. AHDECC resulted in higher brain and serum THC and 11-hydroxy-THC levels in female rats over 24 hours. AHDECC also produced: 1) Cg, dHipp, and NAc gamma power suppression, with the suppression being greater in female rats, in a time-dependent manner; 2) hypolocomotion, hypothermia, and antinociception in a time-dependent manner; and 3) learning and prepulse inhibition impairments. Additionally, most neural activity and behavior changes appear 2 hours after ingestion, suggesting that interventions around this time might be effective in reversing/reducing the effects of AHDECC.
