Competing diversity indices and attitudes toward cultural pluralism in Europe
Authors: Németh Ádám , Sümeghy Dávid , Trócsányi András , Pirisi Gábor 
Published: December 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this analysis is to collect and classify the most important diversity indices, outline the logical connections between them and answer the following question: How much will the results differ if the authors use different indices for explaining the same dependent variable (attitude toward cultural pluralism), and what kind of relationships are observable in the European societies?Design/methodology/approachThe diversity indices are good for compressing information on the number and shares of ethnic groups in a given setting into single numbers in order to use them as independent variables. However, it matters which index the authors choose because it can make a meaningful difference in the assessment of the potential impacts of diversification. Our empirical study (based on 43 European countries and 160 regions) concluded that the correlation coefficients between the most important indices are above 0.8. Thus, in practice, none of them gives a fundamentally different answer to the question: how does diversity/diversification influences people's attitudes toward multiculturalism.FindingsBy linking these results with the European Social Survey database the authors concluded that the more diverse a population in 2014 was, a more positive attitude toward multiculturalism was expressed. However, if the authors focus on the dynamics of diversification, the spread of points is much greater and polynomial (U-shaped curvilinear) trendlines are better suitable to grasp the relationships. It means that people tend to react very differently to similar societal changes in those regions where a moderate degree of diversification took place.Originality/valueInternational migration and ethno-cultural diversification are hotly debated issues in contemporary Europe, and there is a growing interest in understanding their possible social, economic and political outcomes. A question of key importance for the social sciences to adequately answer the challenges is the capability to measure these processes in a quantitative way as well. This paper helps decide which diversity index might be the optimum solution for a given research project.

Authors: Sreen Naman , Yadav Rambalak , Kumar Sushant , Gleim Mark 
Published: December 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to develop an institutional framework to examine the role of governmental and social pressures on green product purchase intentions. Because of the increased focus on environmental issues in emerging markets, an examination of the institutional environment in India can provide unique insights into the drivers of green consumption.

Design/methodology/approach
A large-scale data collection is conducted via an online survey to test the validity of the theorized model. A survey methodology is used to collect responses from a sample of 400 consumers in India and analyzed via Smart PLS 3.0.

Findings
The findings suggest moral norms, injunctive and descriptive, have varying influences on consumers. Further, governmental influence, at least in India, may not have a positive impact one would expect. The results indicate the institutional framework developed in this research has a good predictive ability in green marketing settings and offers insights for businesses and policymakers to enhance consumers’ motivations to purchase green products.

Originality/value
From a theoretical perspective, this research is the first to examine the institutional environment on green consumption in India and provides unique insights into the influences of green consumption. The results suggest the institutional environment in India presents unique opportunities for practitioners and policymakers.

Authors: Seyitoğlu Faruk , Ivanov Stanislav 
Published: December 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the robotic restaurant experience of travellers around the world and understand the components of robotic restaurant experience.

Design/methodology/approach
Travellers who had experienced a robotic restaurant were purposefully selected as a sample group for the study. As the robotic restaurants are limited around the world, multiple case study method has been chosen to gather richer data. A user-generated content technique which is a form of qualitative case study method has been benefited to gather data from travellers’ reviews.

Findings
The results reveal a model of components of robotic restaurant experience that include six main themes: attraction for kids, robotic system, memorable experience, ambience related attributes, food related attributes (economic value and gastronomic aspects) and deficiencies (in robotic system, in ambience related attributes and in food related attributes).

Originality/value
This paper is one of the first to investigate the robotic restaurant experience of travellers around the world. Moreover, it contributes to the research on restaurant experience and offers a model of components of the robotic restaurant experience.
R&D investment, ESG performance and green innovation performance: evidence from China
Authors: Xu Jian , Liu Feng , Shang Yue 
Published: December 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the impacts of research and development (R&D) investment and environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance on green innovation performance. This paper also investigates the moderating effect of ESG performance between R&D investment and green innovation performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses the data of 223 Chinese listed companies over the period 2015–2018. The ESG indices issued by SynTao Green Finance are used to measure ESG performance. Green innovation performance is measured by the total number of green patents, the number of green invention patents and the number of green non-invention patents. Finally, multiple regression analysis is applied to test the research hypotheses.FindingsThe results show that R&D investment has a positive impact on green innovation performance and ESG performance can increase the number of green invention patents. In addition, ESG performance moderates the relationship between R&D investment and green innovation performance.Practical implicationsThe findings may help managers and policymakers in developing countries to make ecological innovation strategies to achieve corporate sustainability.Originality/valueThis is the first study to examine the impacts of R&D investment and ESG performance on green innovation performance in the context of China, an emerging market.

Authors: Schiavone Francesco , Rivieccio Giorgia , Paolone Francesco , Rocca Antonella 
Published: December 2020

PurposeThis article analyses the new venture creation by patient innovators in 40 countries examining the effects of the four macro-level factors on entrepreneurship, adding a fifth sector-specific (healthcare) factor.Design/methodology/approachBy applying the statistical tool of principal component analysis, we find a clustering behavior of health user entrepreneurs across countries, indicating that common macro-level conditions affect this phenomenon in a nonlinear way.FindingsHealthy user innovators are more likely to become entrepreneurs in those countries where creativity, economic opportunities and business environment are increasing from the lower level until a certain threshold. After that level, user entrepreneurship seems to be not relevant.Originality/valueWe contribute to the extant literature about macro-level determinants of entrepreneurship by exploring how much such conditions impact on the decision to create new firm by user innovators.
Lady mosquito at NPS Mumbai
Authors: Chauhan Vinit Singh 
Published: December 2020

Theoretical basis
The term emotional intelligence was coined by the researchers Peter Salavoy and John Mayer. The concept was popularized by Daniel Goleman through his book Emotional Intelligence published in 1996. According to Salavoy and Mayer (1990), emotional intelligence consists of a set of skills hypothesized to contribute to the accurate appraisal and expression of emotion in oneself and in others, the effective regulation of emotion in self and others and the use of feelings to motivate, plan and achieve in one’s life.

Research methodology
The case study uses two sources of information, namely, primary and secondary. Dr Dev, a senior training and development manager with a multinational company constituted the primary source. The secondary source consisted of information publicly available on various websites. The case has been disguised for various reasons.

Case overview/synopsis
Lady mosquito at NPS Mumbai is a case study on emotional intelligence, a much sought-after concept in management education, but not many case studies have been written on the topic. This case involves an interaction that took place between a facilitator and a learner, and it highlights the importance of emotional intelligence in day-to-day communication. The use of emotional intelligence will manifold improve the ability of the facilitator to understand the learners’ behavior in the classroom. This will further enhance the effectiveness of learning, as the motivated facilitator/trainer will be more committed to engaging the learners in their educational activities.

Complexity academic level
This case has been developed to be used in postgraduate and undergraduate management programs. This case can also be used in management development programs for executives. As the case provides a basic understanding of human behavior and thereby teaches to manage others just by managing oneself. As the case revolves around a facilitator and the learner, it can also be used in the trainer program for facilitators who desire to conduct training programs or want to take teaching as a full-time career.
A Career Told in Newsprint: James Woodhouse in the Press, 1763‐7
Authors: Van‐Hagen Steve 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis article argues that insufficient attention has been paid within existing accounts of the career of the ‘Poetical Shoemaker’, James Woodhouse (1735‐1820), to items in the newspaper and periodical press about and by him, with specific reference to the years of his greatest fame, c.1763‐7. To remedy this, the article focuses most, within a wider account, on the publication of ‘The Advertisement’ to Woodhouse’s first volume in 1764, on an anonymous letter two days later, probably by Woodhouse himself, and on two poems addressed to Woodhouse by labouring‐class admirers which provide insight into his reception by the labouring classes.
Generalized hidden Markov models for phylogenetic comparative datasets
Authors: Boyko James D. , Beaulieu Jeremy M. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) have emerged as an important tool for understanding the evolution of characters that take on discrete states. Their flexibility and biological sensibility make them appealing for many phylogenetic comparative applications.

Previously available packages placed unnecessary limits on the number of observed and hidden states that can be considered when estimating transition rates and inferring ancestral states on a phylogeny.

To address these issues, we expanded the capabilities of the R package corHMM to handle n‐state and n‐character problems and provide users with a streamlined set of functions to create custom HMMs for any biological question of arbitrary complexity.

We show that increasing the number of observed states increases the accuracy of ancestral state reconstruction. We also explore the conditions for when an HMM is most effective, finding that an HMM is an appropriate model when the degree of rate heterogeneity is moderate to high.

Finally, we demonstrate the importance of these generalizations by reconstructing the phyllotaxy of the ancestral angiosperm flower. Partially contradicting previous results, we find the most likely state to be a whorled perianth, whorled androecium, whorled gynoecium. The difference between our analysis and previous studies was that our modelling explicitly allowed for the correlated evolution of several flower characters.

Published: December 2020

AbstractObjectiveThe aim was to map rates and cumulative incidences of psychiatric disorders during lifetime for siblings to patients with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder compared with the general population.MethodsDanish nationwide population‐based longitudinal register linkage study including 13,923 unaffected siblings to 19,955 patients with bipolar disorder and 278,460 unaffected control individuals from the general population matched according to year of birth and sex. Follow‐up covered 22 years from 1995 to 2017.ResultsRates of ‘any psychiatric disorder’ among siblings compared with control individuals were constantly around twofold increased throughout lifespan whereas there was a bimodal age distribution of hazard ratios of bipolar disorder, unipolar disorder and use of alcohol or psychoactive drugs with the highest hazard ratios up to age 20 and above 60 years of age. Cumulative incidences from age 15 years of any psychiatric disorder were 44.2% at age 80 years for siblings versus 27.6% for control individuals and the corresponding numbers for bipolar disorder was 8.7% for siblings compared with 1.6% for control individuals.ConclusionStrategies to prevent onset of psychiatric illness in individuals with a first‐generation family history of bipolar disorder should not be limited to adolescence and early adulthood but should be lifetime, likely with differentiated age‐specific strategies.

AbstractBackgroundAn objective of the phase 3 HELP Study was to investigate the effect of lanadelumab on health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE).MethodsPatients with HAE‐1/2 received either lanadelumab 150 mg every 4 weeks (q4wks; n = 28), 300 mg q4wks (n = 29), 300 mg every 2 weeks (q2wks; n = 27), or placebo (n = 41) for 26 weeks (days 0–182). The Angioedema Quality of Life Questionnaire (AE‐QoL) was administered monthly, consisting of four domain (functioning, fatigue/mood, fears/shame, nutrition) and total scores. The generic EQ‐5D‐5L questionnaire was administered on days 0, 98, and 182. Comparisons were made between placebo and (a) all lanadelumab‐treated patients and (b) individual lanadelumab groups for changes in scores (day 0–182) and proportions achieving the minimal clinically important difference (MCID, −6) in AE‐QoL total score.ResultsCompared with the placebo group, the lanadelumab total group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in AE‐QoL total and domain scores (mean change, −13.0 to −29.3; p < 0.05 for all); the largest improvement was in functioning. A significantly greater proportion of the lanadelumab total group achieved the MCID (70% vs 37%; p = 0.001). The lanadelumab 300 mg q2wks group had the highest proportion (81%; p = 0.001) and was 7.2 times more likely to achieve the MCID than the placebo group. Mean EQ‐5D‐5L scores at day 0 were high in all groups, indicating low impairment, with no significant changes at day 182.ConclusionPatients with HAE‐1/2 experienced significant and clinically meaningful improvements in HRQoL measured by AE‐QoL following lanadelumab treatment in the HELP Study.

Published: December 2020

AbstractIntroductionPlacental transverse relaxation time (T2) assessed by MRI may have the potential to improve the antenatal identification of small for gestational age. The aims of this study were to provide normal values of placental T2 in relation to gestational age at the time of MRI and to explore the correlation between placental T2 and birthweight.Material and methodsA mixed cohort of 112 singleton pregnancies was retrieved from our placental MRI research database. MRI was performed at 23.6‐41.3 weeks of gestation in a 1.5T system (TE (8): 50‐440 ms, TR: 4000 ms). Normal pregnancies were defined by uncomplicated pregnancies with normal obstetric outcome and birthweight deviation within ±1 SD of the expected for gestational age. The correlation between placental T2 and birthweight was investigated using the following outcomes; small for gestational age (birthweight ≤−2 SD of the expected for gestational age) and birthweight deviation (birthweight Z‐scores).ResultsIn normal pregnancies (n = 27), placenta T2 showed a significant negative linear correlation with gestational age (r = −.91, P = .0001) being 184 ms ± 15.94 ms (mean ± SD) at 20 weeks of gestation and 89 ms ± 15.94 ms at 40 weeks of gestation. Placental T2 was significantly reduced among small‐for‐gestational‐age pregnancies (mean Z‐score −1.95, P < .001). Moreover, we found a significant positive correlation between placenta T2 deviation (Z‐score) and birthweight deviation (Z‐score) (R2 = .26, P = .0001).ConclusionsThis study provides normal values of placental T2 to be used in future studies on placental MRI. Placental T2 is closely related to birthweight and may improve the antenatal identification of small‐for‐gestational‐age pregnancies.

Published: December 2020

AbstractIntroductionReestablishing continuity after the Hartmann procedure, the Hartmann reversal has been recognized as a complex procedure with a high morbidity rate. Laparoscopic reversal of the Hartmann procedure (LHR) is technically challenging, although good short‐term results have been reported. We formulated this technique in 2013 and have been gradually devising and standardizing it.Material and Surgical TechniqueTen patients who had undergone the Hartmann procedure from January 2013 to December 2019 and subsequently LHR were retrospectively examined. During the procedure, a circular incision was made at the original site of the colostomy to safely reach the abdominal cavity, and pneumoperitoneum was performed using the glove technique. Next, pelvic adhesions and the descending colon were dissected. If the rectal stump was difficult to identify, an intraoperative endoscope was used. Finally, either a Gambee or stapled anastomosis without tension was performed. The median surgical time was 265 minutes (range, 160‐435 minutes), and the median blood loss was 100 mL (range, 10‐700 mL). The median postoperative hospital stay was 11 days (range, 8‐14 days). In one case, laparotomy was performed because of severe intra‐abdominal adhesion.DiscussionNo major complication was observed during or after surgery. Therefore, LHR can be performed safely. Standardizing this procedure could render it minimally invasive, although a high level of evidence is needed.

AbstractObjectivesThis multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted to investigate whether the loading protocol of single dental implants placed in the midline of edentulous mandibles will influence the implant survival or prosthetic maintenance.Materials and MethodsIn total, 158 patients were randomly assigned either to the immediate loading group (n = 81) or to the delayed loading group (n = 77). All implants were loaded with an overdenture retained by a ball attachment.ResultsAfter 5 years, 102 patients attended the follow‐up investigation. Immediately loaded single implants in the midline of the edentulous mandible revealed a statistically significant lower survival rate than implants loaded conventionally over an observation period of 5 years. In the immediate loading group, 9 implants failed within the first three months of implant loading. No further implant loss was recorded for this group. Two implants failed in the delayed loading group, whereas one implant had to be removed during second‐stage surgery and the second five years after implant loading. Non‐inferiority of the survival rate of the midline implant of the immediate loading group, compared with the delayed loading group, could not be shown (p = .79, CI immediate loading: 74.9%; 100.0%, CI delayed loading: 73.0%; 100.0%). The observed difference in implant survival between the two treatment groups over time was statistically significant.ConclusionsThe results of the present study indicate that immediate loading of a single mandibular implant in the edentulous mandible should be considered only in exceptional cases.

Published: December 2020

AbstractAnti‐glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease causes rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD). Studies of post‐transplant outcomes in patients with ESKD due to anti‐GBM disease in the United States are lacking. To better characterize outcomes of transplant recipients with a history of anti‐GBM disease, we examined patient survival and graft survival among recipients with anti‐GBM disease compared with IgA nephropathy at a single center in the United States. We analyzed patient survival, graft survival, disease recurrence, and malignancy rates for kidney transplant recipients with ESKD due to biopsy‐proven anti‐GBM disease who underwent kidney transplantation at our center between 1994 and 2015. 26 patients with biopsy‐proven anti‐GBM disease and 314 patients with IgAN underwent kidney transplantation from 1994 to 2015. The incidence of graft loss was 6.2 per 100 person‐years for anti‐GBM disease, which was similar to IgAN (4.08 per 100 person‐years, p = .09). Patient mortality for anti‐GBM was 0.03 per 100 person‐years, similar to IgAN (0.02 per 100 person‐years, p = .12). Disease recurrence occurred in one of the 26 anti‐GBM patients. Four out of 26 patients (15%) developed malignancy, most commonly skin cancer. Long‐term graft and patient survival for patients with ESKD due to anti‐GBM was similar to IgAN after kidney transplantation.
