Determinants of foreign exchange risk management in Latin American firms
Authors: Giraldo-Prieto César Augusto , De Fuentes Cristina , Sogorb-Mira Francisco 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to identify whether Latin American (LA) firms are adopting any hedging strategy when designing foreign exchange risk (FXR) measures. To that end, the authors explore the impact of several drivers of FXR management.

Design/methodology/approach
The sample consists of 342 non-financial listed firms established in a group of representative countries of the LA region and covers the period from 2008 to 2016. Hypothesis testing is performed through a Logit model that measures the likelihood to adopt hedging practices. In addition, a Tobit test offers further insights into the derivatives users.

Findings
The authors corroborate capital structure-related hypotheses such as tax goals, financial distress, liquidity and growth opportunities. In addition, both ownership concentration and income tax payable seem to be negative and significant determinants of FXR coverage.

Originality/value
Results reported in this study are relevant for the LA region with high tradition in raw materials and commodities exports. The results show that LA firms still make limited use of derivatives and there is still much room for improvement. Hence, additional efforts to promote FXR hedging should be desirable, to meet authorities’ recommendations (OECD et al., 2007). Further research exploring corporate governance relationships and differences between large and small firms might be helpful.
Achieving organisational resilience through inbound logistics effort
Authors: Costa Flávio Henrique De Oliveira , Da Silva Andrea Lago , Pereira Carla Roberta , Pereira Susana Carla Farias , Gómez Paredes Fernando José 
Published: November 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify how the relationship between inbound logistics (IL) activities and elements of resilience (EoR) can contribute to organisational resilience.Design/methodology/approachTwo in-depth case-based studies were conducted in the dairy industry. After identifying EoR and IL activities through a systematic literature review, relationships among them have been empirically discussed in six groups (emerged content analysis results): supplier and response capability; transportation; security; quick response to disruption; logistics management; trust and knowledge.FindingsA framework was developed describing the contribution of these six groups to organisational resilience by highlighting and discussing three aspects: rigidity of the hierarchy, type of relationship and geographical dispersion. These aspects emerged from the process of content analysis and are related to the companies’ characteristics.Practical implicationsThe proposed framework can assist managers to decide which group of EoR and IL activities they should prioritise, depending on the company’s characteristics and needs.Originality/valueAlthough some studies have discussed the IL contribution to generating resilience in companies, none of them have explored in detail the relationship between EoR and IL activities, and their contribution to organisational resilience. The proposed framework shows the contribution of the EoR to three different organisational aspects.
Burnout, eating behaviour traits and dietary patterns
Authors: Chui Helena , Bryant Eleanor , Sarabia Carmen , Maskeen Shames , Stewart-Knox Barbara 
Published: November 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this research has been to investigate whether burnout and eating behaviour traits were associated with food intake.Design/methodology/approachParticipants (n=109) 78 per cent female, mean age 39 years, were recruited from various occupations within a UK university to complete an on-line survey. Dietary habits were measured using Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and eating behaviour traits using the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) R18.FindingsPrincipal component analyses of FFQ responses revealed four dietary patterns: fast/junk food (+chicken and low fruit/vegetables); meat/fish; dairy/grains; beans/nuts. Dietary patterns were examined using multiple regression analysis as outcome variables with age, gender, burnout and eating behaviour traits as explanatory variables. More frequent consumption of “junk/fast food” was associated with lower TFEQ-Cognitive Restraint, higher TFEQ-Uncontrolled Eating (UE), lower MBI-Emotional Exhaustion and higher MBI-Depersonalisation. More frequent consumption of beans/nuts was associated with higher TFEQ-UE and higher MBI-Emotional Exhaustion. Models for meat/fish and grains/dairy dietary patterns were not significant.Research limitations/implicationsBurnout may need to be considered to reduce junk food consumption in higher education employees. Causality between burnout, eating behaviour traits and food consumption requires further investigation on larger samples.Originality/valueThis appears to be the first study to have explored associations between burnout, eating behaviour traits and dietary patterns.
The role of consumer ethnocentrism, country image, and subjective knowledge in predicting intention to purchase imported functional foods
Authors: Xin Li , Seo Sunhee (Sunny) 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of consumer ethnocentrism, country image, functional food image, subjective knowledge and health consciousness in predicting purchase intention of imported functional foods using the theory of planned behavior.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 361 Chinese consumers from 20 to 60 year old who have purchased Korean functional foods participated in this study using an online survey. Structural equation modeling was performed to examine the hypotheses.

Findings
Consumer ethnocentrism had a negative effect on the intention to purchase Korean functional food, but the image of Korean functional foods, subjective knowledge and health consciousness positively affected intention to purchase Korean functional foods. Country image had a positive effect on the image of Korean functional foods. Attitude and perceived behavioral control had a positive effect on the intention to purchase Korean functional foods.

Originality/value
This study combined social and personal factors to explain Chinese consumer intention to purchase imported Korean functional foods.
A consumer-oriented segmentation study on edible insects in Switzerland and Thailand
Authors: Brunner Thomas A. , Nuttavuthisit Krittinee 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
Edible insects might be the meat of the future. However, promoting insects as food, at least in western countries, is not an easy task. Segmenting consumers into various similarly behaving groups and targeting them separately is the first step to more successfully promoting insect cuisine. By taking a cross-cultural perspective on the topic of entomophagy and investigating the impact of different cultural settings, additional insights may be revealed that can be used to develop marketing strategies. The paper aims to discuss this issue.

Design/methodology/approach
Using survey data from Switzerland (N=542) and Thailand (N=500), a hierarchical cluster analysis yielded four consumer segments in each country.

Findings
Interestingly, in both countries, the segments themselves can be named identically and accordingly to Roger’s diffusion of innovation theory: early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards. However, the size of the segments and the people within these corresponding segments are quite different sociodemographically and in some of the investigated psychographic scales, such as food neophobia. The authors conclude that consumers in countries with an entomophagy tradition behave quite differently from those without one.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first cross-cultural consumer segmentation study on the topic of entomophagy. Based on these results, initial conclusions can be drawn on how to successfully target the specific segments.
High-order moments in stock pricing: evidence from the Chinese and US markets
Authors: Chen Yifan , Chen Zilin , Tang Huoqing 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to introduce an augmented high-order capital asset pricing model (AH-CAPM) as a new risk-based model to price stocks.

Design/methodology/approach
The AH-CAPM is defined as a linear model with high-order marginal moments and co-moments from the joint distributions of the sorted stock portfolio returns and the market return.

Findings
The performance of the AH-CAPM is tested in the Chinese and US stock markets. Empirical results show that the high-order marginal moments and co-moments from the joint distributions in AH-CAPM contain the risk and return information implied by the Fama–French factors, indicating it as a better risk measurement. Moreover, the AH-CAPM performs better than the Fama–French three-factor model and the Carhart four-factor model in both the Chinese and US stock markets.

Originality/value
Overall, this study introduces a new asset pricing model with better measurements to incorporate risk information in the stock market.
Critical determinants for electronic market adoption
Authors: Deng Hepu , Duan Sophia Xiaoxia , Luo Feng 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
Understanding the critical determinants for the adoption of electronic markets (e-markets) is significant for the development of sustainable electronic business. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the critical determinants for the adoption of e-markets in Australian small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for electronic business.

Design/methodology/approach
A comprehensive review of the related studies is conducted. That leads to the development of a conceptual model for exploring the critical determinants for the adoption of e-markets in Australian SMEs. Such a model is then tested and validated using structural equation modelling on the survey data collected, leading to the identification of the critical determinants for e-market adoption in Australian SMEs.

Findings
The study reveals that perceived direct benefit, perceived trust, top management support and external pressures are critical for the adoption of e-markets in Australian SMEs. Perceived indirect benefit and organization readiness are insignificant for the adoption of e-markets.

Originality/value
This paper contributes to existing electronic business research by enriching the understanding of the critical determinants for the adoption of e-markets in Australian SMEs. Such a study provides government departments, e-market operators and SMEs with practical guidelines for the better use of e-markets in electronic business.
Intention to adopt mobile payment in physical stores
Authors: Handarkho Yonathan Dri , Harjoseputro Yulius 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop a theoretical model based on Push–Pull–Mooring (PPM) framework consisting of direct, indirect and moderating effects, derived from technology acceptance model, unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and other extended theory, to address the main factor influencing an individual in adopting mobile payment (MP) in physical stores. The research, therefore, utilized individual switching behavior as an underpinning to explain MP adoption in an offline context.

Design/methodology/approach
The theoretical model was tested by collecting data from 459 respondents in Indonesia through online self-administered questionnaires.

Findings
The finding indicated consumer innovativeness has the most influential direct effect on MP adoption, followed by deal proneness, perceived convenience and perceived herd behavior. Meanwhile, perceived enjoyment and subjective norms were found to have an indirect effect on the adaptation of MP through mediator convenience. Furthermore, age, gender, occupation and income did not have any moderating effect for all the direct influence of MP adoption.

Originality/value
Previous literature only focused on direct intention. However, this study observed the adoption of MP in a physical store by involving the switching behavior. It specifically puts concern and objective as the factors that influence user intention to switch from their old payment system to the MP system in bricks and mortar store using PPM framework.
How can NGOs prevent volunteers from quitting? The moderating role of the NGO type
Authors: Lorente-Ayala Jose Miguel , Vila-Lopez Natalia , Kuster-Boluda Ines 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The rise of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) during the last decades has made the volunteer a key element. Motivation and satisfaction have been indicated as predictive indices of their retention. The purpose of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it seeks to better understand the motivations of the volunteers, addressing the effects of such motivations. On the other hand, it analyses whether the intensity of such antecedents and effects differs depending on the type of NGO with which they work: generalist vs specialist.

Design/methodology/approach
A study with 847 volunteers from different types of NGOs was done using structural modelling methodology and multi-sample analysis.

Findings
The type of NGO moderates the relationship between the satisfaction of the volunteer and the intention to recommend.

Practical implications
Given that in specialist NGOs the impact of satisfaction on the intention to recommend is significantly stronger than in generalist NGOs, making sure that volunteers are satisfied becomes a priority in this type of NGO. In this regard, satisfaction studies among volunteers could be conducted periodically to detect crisis situations and implement improvement actions to recover satisfaction in the occupied position.

Originality/value
First, to date, the motivations of the volunteer have been investigated from different disciplines, the self-determination theory (SDT) being an important motivational theory widely used in areas such as social, education and sports psychology. However, there is little research from a marketing approach to understand the background of the motivations of volunteers under this conceptual framework provided by the SDT. Second, there is also a scarcity of literature linking the motivations of a volunteer with the emotions they may feel, ultimately achieving consolidated lasting links with the NGO in which they are integrated. Third, most research on volunteering to date has focused on differentiating volunteers from non-volunteers and understanding the reasons for volunteering. However, the presence of studies on the differences in the motivation of the same according to the type of NGO with which they collaborate has been scarce.
External conditions drive optimal planting configurations for salt marsh restoration
Authors: Duggan‐Edwards Mollie F. , Pagès Jordi F. , Jenkins Stuart R. , Bouma Tjeerd J. , Skov Martin W. 
Published: November 2019

AbstractCoastal salt marshes are threatened by erosion from storminess and sea level rise, with resulting losses in flood protection, wildlife and recreational space. Although more than $1 billion has been spent to reconcile losses, restoration has had varying success because of poor survival of planted patches in challenging wave and current conditions. Marsh expansion after colonization or replanting is regulated by positive and negative feedbacks between vegetation density and sediment capture. Dense vegetation stimulates sediment capture and vertical patch growth, but negatively constrains patch expansion by concentrating hydrological energy into erosion gullies along patch edges. Conversely, low‐density vegetation may not simulate enough sediment capture, which increases plant dislodgement mortality. The strengths of positive and negative feedbacks will vary with wave exposure, but this has never been tested in natural conditions.We observed density‐dependent sediment feedbacks, survival and lateral expansion bySporobolus anglicuspatches (0.8 × 0.8 m) planted at three levels of vegetation density, at each of three levels of wave forcing (three sites).We found interactive effects of plant density and forcing on the strength of positive and negative feedbacks. Density‐dependent feedbacks only emerged in moderate and exposed conditions: classic marsh tussock patch shapes, which arise due to combined positive (vertical growth) and negative (gullies) feedbacks, were only associated with high density vegetation under exposed conditions. At high exposure, survival was enhanced by dense planting, which diverted energy away from the vegetation. In sheltered conditions, expansion was the greatest at medium density, while dense patches had high mortality and erosion.Synthesis and applications. Success of wetland restoration clearly hinges on considering interactions between environmental stress and planting density. In challenging high‐exposure settings, dense planting in large patches should maximize success, as plant facilitation boosts sediment capture and negative edge effects (gullies) will represent a diminished proportion of larger patches. Yet, benefits of dense planting will switch from positive (facilitation) to negative (competition) with reduced environmental stress, when moderate‐density planting might be optimal. Switches along stress gradients between positive and negative feedbacks are common across ecosystems. We call for wider integration of facilitation and stress–gradient principles into restoration design to safeguard restoration successes.
Occupational therapy and decision‐making capacity assessment: A survey of practice in Ireland
Authors: Usher Ruth , Stapleton Tadhg 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIntroductionThe aim of the study was to explore occupational therapy practices regarding decision‐making capacity assessment and to examine factors that impact on engagement in this area.MethodsOccupational therapists in Ireland were invited to participate in a cross‐sectional online questionnaire.ResultsOne hundred and seventy‐two occupational therapists responded. 65.77% (n = 98) reported that occupational therapy plays an important role in capacity assessment in their workplace. Occupational therapists most frequently contributed to decision‐making capacity assessment for independent living (79.19%, n = 118), driving (45.89%, n = 67) and financial management (44.44%, n = 64). Many participants reported that this is more difficult than other aspects of practice and that they are not satisfied with decision‐making capacity assessment procedures in their workplace. A large majority (91.86%, n = 113) reported occupational therapists would benefit from additional training and practice guidelines in the area of decision‐making capacity assessment.ConclusionThe study confirms that occupational therapists have a role to play in the multi‐disciplinary assessment of decision‐making capacity. The results of the survey suggest that decision‐making capacity assessment is complex and challenging. Factors such as confidence, education and training impact on engagement with this area of practice. There is a need to develop education resources and guidelines for occupational therapists.
Effect of different nitrogen fertilizer application rates on Dichrostachys cinerea and Acacia karroo sapling growth, foliar nutrient and antinutrient concentrations in a southern African savanna
Authors: Nyamukanza Casper C. , Sebata Allan 
Published: November 2019

AbstractNitrogen (N) fertilization influences woody plant growth, foliar nutrient and antinutrient concentrations. We conducted a nursery experiment to determine the effect of five N fertilization rates on Dichrostachys cinerea and Acacia karroo sapling height, basal diameter, growth of longest shoots and root length, crude protein (CP), acid and neutral detergent fiber (NDF), condensed tannins (CT) and total phenolic (TP) concentrations. Eight potted plants of each woody species were allocated to each of five N fertilization rates (0, 0.21, 0.42, 0.63 and 0.84 g N/kg of soil) in a completely randomized design. Different N fertilization rates did not result in varying plant growth in terms of height, stem diameter and root length in both D. cinerea and A. karroo. However, N fertilization rate of 0.63 g N per kg of soil resulted in an increase in length of the longest shoot in both D. cinerea and A. karroo. Foliar CP increased with an increase in N fertilization rate up to 0.63 g N per kg of soil, while acid and NDF, CT and TP were lowest at N fertilization rates of 0.63 g N per kg of soil in both D. cinerea and A. karroo. We conclude that N did not limit plant growth, and therefore N fertilization is unlikely to significantly improve sapling growth. However, N fertilization improved foliar CP and reduced CT and TP concentrations in both D. cinerea and A. karroo improving their nutritive value to browsers.
The work and relatedness of ties mediated online in supporting long‐term condition self‐management
Authors: Allen Chris , Vassilev Ivaylo , Kennedy Anne , Rogers Anne 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThe ‘care transition’ is characterised by reduced state involvement in chronic illness management in response to socio‐political movements aimed at meeting the challenges presented by an increased prevalence of chronic illness. Amongst these changes has been online communities’ rising importance in everyday interactions and attention is being increasingly paid towards the ways online contacts might contribute to self‐management. Whilst research has illuminated the relevance of personal networks in long‐term condition management, it is relevant to extend this work to consider the place of ties mediated online in this bricolage of support, including better understanding the work drawn from them and the strategies involved in eliciting it. This study examined the work and relatedness of 30 participants, who used online communities. Participants were asked about the role of on and offline ties and ego network mapping was used to frame conversations about the nature of this support. The context of engagement followed three main themes. Participants drew from online communities in response to deficits in offline support, they used online ties to leverage support or action from offline ties and they used online ties to substitute offline support, with less intimate online ties.
Feeding behavior explains the different effects of cabbage on MEAM1 and MED cryptic species of Bemisia tabaci

Published: November 2019

AbstractMEAM1 (Middle East–Asia Minor 1, “B” biotype) and MED (Mediterranean, “Q” biotype) are the two most destructive cryptic species of the Bemisia tabaci complex on the planet. Our previous studies have shown that MEAM1 outcompetes MED on cabbage; the underlying mechanism is unknown. In the Brassicaceae family, the glucosinolate‐myrosinase defense system plays a crucial role in deterring feeding, inhibiting growth, and causing acute toxicity against a wide range of generalist herbivores. In the present study, we first compared the survival of MEAM1 and MED exposed to sinigrin (a glucosinolate) and myrosinase (an enzyme that degrades glucosinolates); we found that survival of both species was high in response to sinigrin alone but was near zero in response to sinigrin + myrosinase. We then used electropenetrography (electrical penetration graphs, EPG) to assess the feeding behaviors of MEAM1 and MED whiteflies on cabbage. The EPG results revealed that the mean duration of each potential drop (pd, indicating an intracellular puncture) was substantially longer for MED than MEAM1 on cabbage, indicating that the exposure to the toxic hydrolysates of glucosinolate and myrosinase is greater for MED than for MEAM1. We therefore conclude that differences in penetrating behaviors may help explain the different effects of cabbage on MEAM1 and MED whitefly species.
