Abstract
A STUDY OF HUMOUR APPEAL IN ADVERTISEMENT
Manik Jindal
In recent years a growing number of promotionally minded
firms have turned to humour as a primary ingredient in their
marketing communications. The success which humorous
appeals have been enjoyed is being reflected in the
reactions of consumers. In global advertising humour is the
most effective emotion used in advertising compared to
other emotional appeals. The main objective of this article is
to analyze the impact of humour on the consumers. For
achievement of this objective necessary data is being
collected using questionnaire method and it was found in
the study that humour has a positive impact on the
purchase intention of the consumers.

22;6(220):220ra11. doi: 10.1126/scitranslmed.3008051
Characterizations of the structural configurations of human gut microbial communities are beginning to
reveal differences between healthy individuals and those with various diseases (1–6). Experiments
involving transplantation of intact uncultured microbiota from healthy humans to humans with colitis
induced by Clostridium difficile or patients with metabolic syndrome have helped to establish a causal
role for the microbiota in these disorders, and at the same time have provided proof-of-principle that the
microbiota represents a therapeutic target for treating or preventing disease (6,7).
Transplantation of intact uncultured human gut microbiota samples from human donors with various
physiologic or disease states, or cultured members of the microbiota, to germ-free mice provides an
opportunity to identify specific microbial species that may influence the physiologic, metabolic and
immunologic properties of humans (8–12). One challenge has been to develop a scalable, unbiased
approach for identifying human gut bacterial strains that modulate phenotypic variation in recipient
mice. Here we describe such a method (Fig. 1). It begins with a screen of gnotobiotic mice containing
transplanted intact uncultured fecal microbiota from different human donors to identify transmissible
phenotypes that can be attributed to each donor’s microbiota. We then generated a clonally-arrayed
collection of cultured anaerobic bacteria in multi-well plates from a donor whose intact uncultured
microbiota transmitted a phenotype of interest. Each well of the plate harbored a bacterial strain whose
genome had been sequenced (13,14). The arrayed culture collection of bacteria was then randomly
fractionated into subsets of various sizes. Each subset was gavaged into a germ-free animal, individually
maintained in a sterile filter-topped cage, to observe the effect of the bacterial consortium on a host
phenotype. By repeating this process across many subsets, the effect of each strain in the arrayed culture
collection was assayed in the context of a diverse background of community memberships and sizes.
Feature selection algorithms and follow-up experiments where mice were colonized with single strains
(mono-colonization) were then used to identify the strains whose presence or absence best explained
the observed phenotypic variation. We then identified bacterial strains that modulated several different
host phenotypes: adiposity, intestinal metabolite composition, and the immune system.
