I’ve got an idea! Exploring the antecedents of suggestion sharing in consumer services
Authors: Burnham Thomas 
Published: February 2020

PurposeCustomer suggestions offer valuable insights to companies, and suggestion sharing is a form of engagement that strengthens customers’ relationships with firms. Yet research to date has neglected to explicitly study the antecedents of direct-to-firm consumer suggestion sharing or to adequately characterize the behavior. This paper aims to address this deficiency.Design/methodology/approachThe research draws on two surveys using three different elicitation techniques – critical incident, direct reporting and scenario response. Inductive content analysis of consumer responses is used to derive exploratory insights regarding the range of factors that motivate and inhibit consumer suggestion sharing, with an emphasis on consumer service-related contexts.FindingsPotential self, other and firm benefits motivate suggestion sharing, whereas a host of factors, including the effort involved, a lack of perceived firm efficacy and unpleasant sharing contexts inhibit it. The findings reveal a rich portrait of antecedents that illustrates how direct-to-firm suggestion-sharing behavior combines elements of customer citizenship behavior, customer complaint behavior and online community idea sharing.Research limitations/implicationsThe research relies upon reporting by US students and consumers.Practical implicationsService firms hoping to avail themselves of customers’ desire to contribute to their and their customers’ betterment must understand and manage the tripartite nature of consumer suggestion sharing evinced by the antecedents revealed.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, this research offers the first description of the range of factors that motivate and inhibit direct-to-firm consumer suggestion sharing. As such, it provides a theoretical foundation upon which future consumer suggestion-sharing research can build.

Authors: Dhir Swati , Dutta Tanusree , Ghosh Piyali 
Published: February 2020

PurposeThe purpose of the present study is to empirically test a model that illustrates how person–job fit (PJF), person–organization fit (POF) and perceived supervisor support (PSS) as individualistic factors affect job satisfaction and employee loyalty in the Indian context.Design/methodology/approachA survey of the Indian managerial executives was conducted with a structured questionnaire to validate the proposed model. Responses of a sample of 220 have been tested using PLS–SEM modelling approach.FindingsThe factors PJF, POF and PSS are inferred to have significant impact on job satisfaction and also improve employee loyalty. In comparison to PJF and PSS, POF has emerged as the most influential determinant of the proposed model.Practical implicationsHR managers can adopt relevant practices and promote organizational policies in order to have loyal employees. This would also help organizations in increasing overall productivity at both individual and organizational levels. Recruiters could be provided with necessary tools and measures to find better and accurate means of mapping POF and PJF.Originality/valueEstablishing PJF, POF fit and PSS as individual-specific constructs, and job satisfaction as a mediator, leading to employee loyalty, is a significant contribution to research. This study finds uniqueness in the Indian context, in which these constructs have mostly been explored in isolation or as dyadic relations. Review of existing studies indicates an overlap of factors that influence both job satisfaction and employee loyalty.

Authors: Liu Ankang , Wang Bing , Li Fei 
Published: February 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to study the effect of elevated temperature on the compression behaviour of carbon fibre polyphenylene sulphide (CF/PPS) laminates notched and unnotched specimens made by film stacking method (FSM).

Design/methodology/approach
The surface of CF was coated with a silane coupling agent to form an effective transition layer with PPS, so as to enhance the interfacial interaction between CF and PPS. Considering the influence of fabrication pressure, forming temperature and cooling rate on the properties of laminates to obtain a reasonable preparation process. Conducting a compressive experiment of notched and unnotched specimens at different temperatures, which failure modes were examined by scanning electron microscope and stereo microscope.

Findings
The experimental observations highlight that with the increase of temperature, the transition failure mode from fibre broken to kink-band appeared in unnotched specimens, which were closely attributed to the matrix state. The notched specimens appeared more complex failure mode, which can be attributed to the joint effect of temperature and opening hole.

Research implications
A simple way of FSM for composite material laminates has been developed by using woven CF and PPS films.

Originality/value
The outcome of this study will help to understand the compression response mechanism of composite materials made by FSM at different temperature.
Implications of blockchain distributed ledger technology for records management and information governance programs
Authors: Franks Patricia C. 
Published: February 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to assist records managers and information governance professionals to understand the challenges presented by their organization’s use of blockchain distributed ledger technology (DLT).

Design/methodology/approach
An extensive literature review was conducted, which revealed a multitude of articles based on research into blockchain DLT, most written from the technology perspective. This paper differs in that it applies a records management lens to an analysis of the records created, registered or stored on a blockchain. A six-stage blockchain records consideration model is provided to illustrate examples of the records management challenges presented by the implementation of blockchain DLT. Questions are posed and recommendations are made to aid the reader in developing a blockchain DLT records management and information governance strategy.

Findings
Because there is no one universal configuration for a blockchain DLT solution, each implementation must be analyzed to understand the resultant records management and information governance challenges. A series of questions that should be asked and answered can not only help records management and information governance professionals adapt their policies and practices to the technology but also provide a basis for discussion with those designing the blockchain DLT solutions so they can include records management features in their designs.

Originality/value
This paper contributes an original analysis of the implications of the adoption of Blockchain DLT for records management and information governance programs through the lens of a six-stage Blockchain Records Consideration Model.
Experimental and numerical fatigue life assessment of SAC305 solders subjected to combined temperature and harmonic vibration loadings
Authors: Gharaibeh Mohammad 
Published: February 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the fatigue life performance of SAC305 ball grid array solders under combined temperature and harmonic vibration loading conditions.

Design/methodology/approach
Fatigue tests were performed using a sine dwell with resonance tracking vibration and temperature loading experiment. Finite element stress analysis was also performed to help in understanding the observed failure trends.

Findings
Fatigue test results showed that the lead-free solders tend to fail quickly in higher temperatures and higher vibration loading test conditions. The failure analysis results revealed that in low temperatures, the solder cracks are initiated and propagated at the package side. However, in high temperatures, the cracks are observed at the board side of the interconnect. In all conditions, the cracks are propagated throughout the intermetallic compound layer.

Originality/value
In the published literature, there is a lack of data in the area of fatigue assessment of lead-free solders under combined temperature and vibration loadings. This paper provides useful insights into combined thermal/vibration fatigue, i.e. reliability behavior of lead-free solder joint types.

Abstract

Quantifying the impact of habitat disturbance on ecosystem function is critical to understanding and predicting the future of tropical forests. Many studies have examined post‐disturbance changes in animal traits related to mutualistic interactions with plants, but the effect of disturbance on plant traits in diverse forests has received much less attention.

Focusing on two study regions in the eastern Brazilian Amazon, we used a trait‐based approach to examine how seed dispersal functionality within tropical plant communities changes across a landscape‐scale gradient of human modification, including both regenerating secondary forests and primary forests disturbed by burning and selective logging.

Surveys of 230 forest plots recorded 26,533 live stems from 846 tree species. Using herbarium material and literature, we compiled trait information for each tree species, focusing on dispersal mode and seed size.

Disturbance reduced tree diversity and increased the proportion of lower wood density and small‐seeded tree species in study plots. Disturbance also increased the proportion of stems with seeds that are ingested by animals and reduced those dispersed by other mechanisms (e.g. wind). Older secondary forests had functionally similar plant communities to the most heavily disturbed primary forests. Mean seed size and wood density per plot were positively correlated for plant species with seeds ingested by animals.

Synthesis. Anthropogenic disturbance has major effects on the seed traits of tree communities, with implications for mutualistic interactions with animals. The important role of animal‐mediated seed dispersal in disturbed and recovering forests highlights the need to avoid defaunation or promote faunal recovery. The changes in mean seed width suggest larger vertebrates hold especially important functional roles in these human‐modified forests. Monitoring fruit and seed traits can provide a valuable indicator of ecosystem condition, emphasizing the importance of developing a comprehensive plant traits database for the Amazon and other biomes.
Empirical Microeconomics in Changing Times: A Reflection on 50 Years of IFS Research
Authors: Banks James , Blundell Richard 
Published: February 2020

AbstractSince the publication of the Meade Report in 1978 and the establishment of the Fiscal Studies journal in 1979, IFS has been a world leader in the microeconomic analysis of tax policy. Here we document the growing importance of rigorous empirical analysis in our academic and policy research. We point to the expanding reach of IFS research outside the pure analysis of tax policy in the years following the Meade Report and the key role played by the ESRC Centre for the Microeconomic Analysis of Public Policy, established in 1991. This Centre provided the environment for long‐term research across a wide set of fields that has enabled IFS to stay ahead in the policy debate and maintain a leading position in academic research. The breadth and depth of work in tax policy as it impacted on individuals, on families, on the labour market, on firms, on innovation, on retirement, on capital markets and on government revenues are exemplified through the Mirrlees Review. The expansion of IFS research into a broader set of areas, including health, child development and human capital, is captured through the recent launch of the Deaton Review on the causes and consequences of inequality, covering a broad set of inequalities and the challenges they bring to society, to policy and to research.
Observations and 3D Analysis of Controlled Cast‐Off Stains

Published: February 2020

AbstractCast‐off stains are common patterns found at crime scenes involving blood shedding events. However, the analysis and interpretation of cast‐off patterns remains an area lacking tools for crime scene investigators. Analyzing cast‐off patterns may allow investigators to interpret the area from where an object may have been swung and thus determine the approximate location of a suspect or victim. This study looked at the position and distribution of cast‐off patterns and area of origin as a starting point for the development of a method to analyze cast‐off patterns. Through a series of tests using a controlled cast‐off rig (n = 10), it was observed that a Path Volume Envelope (PVE) may be identified where the swinging path is contained in a volume along with an area of exclusion. The calculated center, linear position of the PVE was found to have an average error of just over 3.2 cm when compared to the known object swing path position. The maximum deviation of the PVE to the known swing path was found to be 5.0 cm with a standard deviation of 1.4 cm. Additional studies are required to investigate the effects of partial cast‐off stains, wielded object velocity, direction of swing, distance from the projected surface, and other factors. The observations and analysis from this study were seen to be predictable and repeatable and may provide a possible new method for investigators to interpret cast‐off stains.
Distribution of Bactrocera oleae (Rossi, 1790) throughout the Iberian Peninsula based on a maximum entropy modelling approach

Published: February 2020

AbstractThe Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain) is a great production area of olives. The fruit production can be severely affected by the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi, 1790) (Diptera). Detailed geographical distribution maps of key pests, such as B. oleae, are essential for their integrated management. Although different sources reporting the occurrence of B. oleae are available for sub‐regions of Portugal and Spain, the data available are dispersed and centralisation of this information considering the Iberian Peninsula as a faunistic geographical unit is currently lacking. In this work, we built two distribution maps of B. oleae throughout the Iberian Peninsula, one based on occurrence sites and another based on its bioclimatic habitat suitability. After modelling the bioclimatic suitability of B. oleae using a maximum entropy model, three potential distribution areas beyond the previously known occurrence range of the olive fruit fly were identified corresponding to the autonomous community of Galicia (Spain), the Spanish and Portuguese sides of the International Douro Natural Park, and the autonomous community of Castilla y León (Spain). Interestingly, each region houses nowadays autochthonous olive cultivars. The drivers that most contributed to the model were the precipitation of the coldest quarter and the precipitation of driest month which agrees with the B. oleae bioecology. Although our approach is not fully‐comprehensive in terms of occurrence sites, we show how a maxent modelling approach can be useful to identify potential risk areas of B. oleae occurrence throughout a target geographical extent such as the Iberian Peninsula.

Published: February 2020

BackgroundHistopathology is the reference standard for diagnosing hydatidiform molar pregnancy (HMP).AimTo assess the performance of pre‐operative transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) to predict HMP.Materials and MethodsA retrospective diagnostic accuracy study was performed on women who had both TVS and histopathological examination of uterine curettings between January 2011–February 2017. TVS diagnosis of partial MP (PMP) included assessment of fetal parts and/or empty gestational sac with small cystic spaces adjacent to gestational sac. TVS diagnosis of complete MP (CMP) included assessment of complex, echogenic intra‐uterine mass(es) containing multiple small cystic areas. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive and negative likelihood ratios (PLR/NLR) for TVS were reported. Reference standard was histology.ResultsThere were 4917 consecutive women who underwent TVS; 1636 underwent surgical curettage for miscarriage. Forty out of 4917 (0.6%) had HMP histologically; 25/40 (62.5%) had suspected HMP and 15/40 (37.5%) did not; 24/40 (60.0%) had CMP of which 19/24 (79.1%) were suspected on TVS and 5/24 (20.8%) were not; 16/40 (40.0%) had PMP of which 6/16 (37.5%) were suspected on TVS and 10/16 (62.6%) were not. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, PLR and NLR of pre‐operative TVS to predict HMP were: 60.0, 99.1, 63.2, 99.0% 68.4, 0.4; for CMP: 79.2, 99.8, 86.3, 99.6%, 421.7, 0.2; for PMP: 37.5, 99.3, 35.3, 99.4%, 54.3, 0.6.ConclusionHistology remains the gold standard for diagnosing HMP. TVS is an acceptable diagnostic tool for HMP. When there are no ultrasound features of HMP, almost all these women will not have an underlying HMP.

SummaryPost‐transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) may arise after solid organ transplantation, and the most common subtype resembles diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In DLBCL‐type PTLD, the anti‐CD20 antibody rituximab (R) may be combined with chemotherapy (R‐CHOP) or use a strategy (R‐primary; similar to the PTLD‐1 clinical trial) consisting of induction with four weekly doses of R‐alone, without any chemotherapy or sequential R‐CHOP follow‐up. Here we report on a multicentre retrospective cohort of solid organ transplant patients with DLBCL‐type PTLD that were treated with R. In 168 adults, two‐year overall survival (OS) was 63·7% [95% CI (confidence interval) 56·6–71·7%]. No difference in OS was observed, whether patients were treated with R‐CHOP versus the R‐primary strategy. In the 109 patients treated with R‐primary, multivariate analysis found that baseline IPI score and the response to R‐induction predicted OS. Patients who responded to R‐induction had durable remissions without the addition of chemotherapy. Conversely, of the 46 patients who had stable or progressive disease after R‐induction (R‐failure), those who received R‐CHOP had an only marginally improved outcome, with a two‐year OS of 45% (23·1–65·3%) vs. no R‐CHOP at 32% (14·7–49·8%). In real‐world patients, R‐failure and high IPI scores predict a poor outcome in DLBCL‐type PTLD.
ASXL1 mutations, previous vascular complications and age at diagnosis predict survival in 85 WHO‐defined polycythaemia vera patients

Published: February 2020

Summary
Polycythaemia vera (PV) patients have an overall comparatively favourable prognosis, but disease progression is very heterogeneous and life‐threatening thrombosis and bleedings are frequent complications in untreated disease. Moreover, transformation to more severe secondary myelofibrosis and acute myeloid leukaemia can occur. The aim of this study was to identify gene mutations that could be used together with clinical data as prognostic markers to guide treatment decisions in PV patients. A well‐characterized WHO‐defined cohort of PV patients was used. Clinical data and blood values were evaluated and a myeloid sequencing panel was used to screen for additional mutations other than the diagnostic JAK2 V617F and JAK2 exon 12 mutations. In 78% of the PV patients, at least one mutation additional to JAK2 V617F was detected. Additional mutations in genes coding for epigenetic modifiers, like TET2, DNMT3A and ASXL1, were most frequent. When correlated to overall survival, mutations in ASXL1 were significantly associated with inferior survival. In an attempt to obtain prognostic guidance in a larger number of patients, the presence of ASXL1 mutations was combined with age and vascular complications prior to diagnosis. Based on these data we were able to define three risk groups that predicted survival.
Towards a Socialization of the EU's New Economic Governance Regime? EU Labour Policy Interventions in Germany, Ireland, Italy and Romania (2009–2019)
Authors: Jordan Jamie , Maccarrone Vincenzo , Erne Roland 
Published: February 2020

AbstractIn response to the last recession, the European Union (EU) adopted a new economic governance (NEG) regime. An influential stream of EU social policy literature argues that there has been more emphasis on social objectives in the NEG regime in more recent years. This article shows that this is not the case. It does so through an in‐depth analysis of NEG prescriptions on wage, employment protection and collective bargaining policy in Germany, Italy, Ireland and Romania between 2009 and 2019. Our main conclusion is that the EU's interventions in these three industrial relations policy areas continue to be dominated by a liberalization agenda that is commodifying labour, albeit to a different degree across the uneven but nonetheless integrated European political economy. This finding is important, as countervailing transnational trade union action is the more likely, the more there is a common threat. Even so, our contextualized analysis also enables us to detect contradictions that could provide European labour movements opportunities to pursue countervailing action.
