Does “hot” lead to “not so hot?”
Authors: Chang Chun-Tuan , Tok Dickson , Chu Xing-Yu (Marcos) , Lee Yu-Kang , Wang Shr-Chi 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to examine how exposure to sexual images activates the urge to yield to temptation in a subsequent unrelated context.

Design/methodology/approach
In Study 1, this paper uses empirical data based on an automobile expo to examine the correlational relationship between sexual imagery and indulgence. In Studies 2 and 3, this study examines the moderating effects of self-construal and gender differences on indulgent consumption, with different dependent measures. Study 4 distinguishes the sexual images into gratuitous sex and romantic love and tests the mediating role of sensation seeking.

Findings
For men, an independent self-construal increases indulgent consumption. In contrast, an interdependent self-construal facilitates women’s indulgent consumption. Having an interdependent self-construal has the opposite impact on indulgent consumption for the two genders: sexual images of romantic love attenuate the effect on men but boost the effect on women. Perceived sensation-seeking serves as the underlying mechanism.

Research limitations/implications
This paper contributes to the literature on sex, reward-processing, context effects in marketing and indulgent consumption.

Practical implications
Advertisers, retailers, food courts and restaurants may use sexual imagery to promote more indulgent consumption with gender and self-construal as segmentation variables. Public policymakers and other concerned parties should also raise consumers’ awareness of the priming effect found in this research.

Originality/value
This research advances the literature on sex by demonstrating the priming effects of sexual imagery and further considers the simultaneous impacts of gender and self-construal on consumers’ subsequent indulgent consumption.
Reflections on an NHS ambulance service trust bidding for non-emergency patient transport services
Authors: Slater Alan 
Published: November 2020

PurposeAmbulance service trusts in England have historically had little or no competition for non-emergency patient transport services (NEPTS), but following the imposition of the NHS Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition (PPCC) Regulation (Number 2) 2013, NHS commissioners could accept suitable bids for NEPTS work from third-party commercial competition. This paper describes how NEPTS evolved in England and how an Ambulance Service Trust Board had to step-up their approach to bidding for NHS NEPTS work and to protect their brand and financial position in a competitive commercial market place.Design/methodology/approachThe Trust Board developed a competitive bidding strategy with a market research project using “grounded theory” to identify and categorise stakeholders' issues followed by re-engineering to achieve new operational goals. A fundamental element of the bid was an opportunity to share patient information between local NHS facilities using a common access data warehouse. This would represent a serious barrier to entry to any third-party non-NHS commercial competitor.FindingsKey projects were identified in the bidding process, including relocation of NEPTS resource bases, use of third-party resources and the establishment of a local NHS-wide data warehouse. They were all self-financing within the contract period and accepted by the commissioners. However, the establishment of NEPTS hubs at hospitals with clinics scattered throughout their grounds was rejected by the commissioners due to incompatibility with existing hospital practices.Originality/valueThis case study defines the challenges and opportunities faced by an English Ambulance Service Trust Board when responding to an invitation to tender (ITT) from NHS commissioners for NEPTS and competing with third-parties on a commercial basis. Any emergency service would face similar challenges bidding for work in a competitive environment.
Linguistic and cultural barriers to access and utilization of mental health care for Farsi-speaking newcomers in Quebec
Authors: Mianji Fahimeh , Tomaro Jann , Kirmayer Laurence J. 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
In light of the growing number of refugees and immigrants in Canada, this paper aims to identify barriers to mental health services for newcomer immigrants and refugees in Quebec and to examine how mental health services can be improved for these populations.

Design/methodology/approach
In this qualitative study, semi-structured individual interviews with Farsi-speaking health professionals and focus group interviews with participants from community organizations in Quebec were conducted.

Findings
Participants, both health-care professionals and community members, reported that mental health services are not readily accessible to Farsi-speaking immigrants and refugees. Structural barriers, language barriers, cultural safety and stigma were identified as obstacles to accessing care. Recommended strategies for improving access to mental health care are discussed.

Originality/value
Multiple studies have found that language and cultural barriers are associated with health inequalities and under-utilization of mental health services among linguistic and ethnic minorities. However, there are limited data on many groups and contexts, and a need to better understand how language barriers affect health outcomes, service utilization, patient satisfaction or overall costs to the health system or to society. In response to this gap, the present study explores how access to mental health services for Farsi-speaking newcomers may be limited by structural and linguistic barriers and cultural differences and as well as to identify strategies that can reduce the identified barriers.
Effect of group-based logotherapy on imprisoned women’s level of hope: a randomized controlled trial (RCT)
Authors: Ghelbash Zakiye , Yektatalab Shahrzad , Momennasab Marzieh , Foruhi Zohre 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
Female prisoners are a vulnerable group in society, often exposed to emotional deprivation and violent experiences and in need of support and attention due to mental health problems. The purpose of this study is to find out whether logotherapy, as an existential approach that emphasizes finding the true meaning in life, can affect imprisoned women’s level of hope, as well as investigating the relationship between participants’ criminological and demographic factors.

Design/methodology/approach
This study comprised a clinical trial with pre-test and post-test, carried out in two groups of intervention and control. The research environment for the study was the Prison Training Center of Shiraz. In total, 90 imprisoned women participated in the study, with the intervention group attending 10 sessions of group logotherapy. Two questionnaires, the Miller Hope scale and demographic and criminological information questionnaires were used for assessment. Participants were evaluated in three periods before, immediately after and one month after the intervention.

Findings
The results showed that logotherapy had a significant effect on increasing the feeling of hopefulness (p = 0.001). Therefore, using the logotherapy approach in other vulnerable groups is recommended.

Originality/value
This study can be a basis for further research due to limited studies on the mental health of women prisoners in the country.

Postpartum psychological pressure on single mothers: an interpretative phenomenological analysis
Authors: Benuyenah Vic , Tran Phuong Bich 
Published: November 2020

PurposeTo delve further into the phenomenon of psychological pressure on single mothers, the purpose of this paper is to explore the factors that affect the psychological state of single mothers in Vietnam.Design/methodology/approachInterpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) interviews were conducted and analysed with the aim of understanding the psychological state of single mothers sampled from a social group in Vietnam.FindingsSingle mothers lack direct support needed to improve their confidence, job opportunities, income levels and social status. The absence of interventions increases the psychological pressure on single mothers in Vietnam.Research limitations/implicationsA future study can explore the psychological state of single mothers using a more expansive data set.Practical implicationsUnderstanding the psychosocial and socio-economic risk factors of postpartum psychological pressure in single mothers may have important implications on preventative and support measures, as well as laying the groundwork for social protection interventions and informing welfare policy-making at a national level.Social implicationsSocial constructs in Vietnam compound the effect of postnatal depression on Vietnamese single mothers (in contrast to their counterparts in developed Western nations). This means that researchers and policymakers need to reconstruct stigmas that cause psychological pressures on single motherhood, and in doing so, help to change the view held about single motherhood.Originality/valueThis study is the first to explore psychological state of mothers in Vietnam using IPA.
“Black, white and gray”–A qualitative study of how Swedish police officers describe occupational knowledge
Authors: Eliasson Michelle Nathalie 
Published: November 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore how Swedish police officers describe occupational knowledge. By learning more about how officers describe occupational knowledge, the study gives more insight about the types of information that they may be more likely to adopt in their occupational tasks.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the author conducted 27 semi-structured interviews with Swedish police officers. I asked officers several open-ended questions about their everyday work life and professional experience.FindingsSwedish officers divide knowledge into two categories, which are theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge is learned in the academy and is described as “black and white,” meaning that it is considered static and not applicable to what happens out in patrol. Practical knowledge is learned in the field from colleagues.Research limitations/implicationsPolice officers around the world have a wide range of requirements and training to become police officers. However, empirical studies have found that officers tend to use different types of information when performing policing tasks. Depending on how information is perceived and is taught, officers may respond differently to different types of knowledge, due to their evaluation of the validity of the knowledge.Originality/valueThe findings in this study support previous empirical studies on the area of policing and knowledge in two ways; first, this study argues that there is a categorization of knowledge among police officers. Second, this study suggests that officers view one occupational knowledge type as more theoretical and one as more practical.

Relationships of the stand‐up time to falls and fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: Results from the CHIKARA study
Authors: Tada Masahiro , Yamada Yutaro , Mandai Koji , Hidaka Noriaki 
Published: November 2020

AbstractAimPatients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a higher risk of falls and fractures due to muscle weakness and painful joints of the lower extremities. Evaluation of muscle functions is important to predict falls and fractures. The aim was to investigate the relationships of muscle functions with falls and fractures in RA patients.MethodsStand‐up muscle power, speed, and stabilizing time were evaluated by a muscle function analyzer in 90 RA patients in the CHIKARA study (UMIN000023744). The relationships of the muscle functions with falls, fractures, body composition, Disease Activity Score of 28 joints ‐ erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28‐ESR), modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (mHAQ) scores, Steinbrocker class, stage, sarcopenia, and frailty were investigated in a cross‐sectional study.ResultsEach parameter of muscle function was related to age, falls, frailty, and the leg muscle score. However, only stabilizing time was related with fractures (r = .217, P = .04). When stabilizing time was ≥ 1.13 and ≥1.36 seconds, the odds ratios for falls and fractures were increased 6.2‐fold compared to < 1.13 seconds (95% CI: 1.2‐20.1, P = .002) and 11.4‐fold compared to <1.36 seconds (95% CI: 1.7‐92.5, P = .071), respectively. Sarcopenia and skeletal muscle mass were not significantly related to each muscle function. There was a negative correlation between DAS28‐ESR and power. Steinbrocker class and mHAQ had negative correlations with power and speed.ConclusionsSarcopenia and skeletal muscle mass were not adequate indicators of muscle functions in RA patients. Analyzing muscle functions is helpful to predict falls and fractures. Patients with extended stabilizing times should recognize the increased risk of falls and fractures.
Cross‐country differences in age trends in alcohol consumption among older adults: a cross‐sectional study of individuals aged 50 years and older in 22 countries

Published: November 2020

AbstractBackground and AimsAge‐related changes in physiological, metabolic and medication profiles make alcohol consumption likely to be more harmful among older than younger adults. This study aimed to estimate cross‐national variation in the quantity and patterns of drinking throughout older age, and to investigate country‐level variables explaining cross‐national variation in consumption for individuals aged 50 years and older.DesignCross‐sectional observational study using previously harmonized survey data.SettingTwenty‐two countries surveyed in 2010 or the closest available year.ParticipantsA total of 106 180 adults aged 50 years and over.MeasurementsCross‐national variation in age trends were estimated for two outcomes: weekly number of standard drink units (SDUs) and patterns of alcohol consumption (never, ever, occasional, moderate and heavy drinking). Human Development Index and average prices of vodka were used as country‐level variables moderating age‐related declines in drinking.FindingsAlcohol consumption was negatively associated with age (risk ratio = 0.98; 95% confidence interval = 0.97, 0.99; P‐value < 0.001), but there was substantial cross‐country variation in the age‐related differences in alcohol consumption [likelihood ratio (LR) test P‐value < 0.001], even after adjusting for the composition of populations. Countries’ development level and alcohol prices explained 31% of cross‐country variability in SDUs (LR test P‐value < 0.001) but did not explain cross‐country variability in the prevalence of heavy drinkers.ConclusionsUse and harmful use of alcohol among older adults appears to vary widely across age and countries. This variation can be partly explained both by the country‐specific composition of populations and country‐level contextual factors such as development level and alcohol prices.
Inequality and the Economic Cycle: Disabled Employees’ Experience of Work during the Great Recession in Britain
Authors: Jones Melanie , Hoque Kim , Wass Victoria , Bacon Nick 
Published: November 2020

AbstractUsing unique questions introduced into the 2011 British Workplace Employment Relations Study, a detailed matched employee–employer survey, this article compares disabled and non‐disabled employees’ experience of the 2008–2009 recession to contribute a cyclical perspective on disability‐related disadvantage at work. We find that disabled employees are more likely to report recession‐induced changes to workload, work organization, wages and access to training, even after controlling for personal, job and workplace characteristics. There is limited evidence that workplace equality characteristics moderate these relationships to protect disabled employees. These findings have particular resonance in the context of the COVID‐19 recession.
Exploring systematic biases, rooting methods and morphological evidence to unravel the evolutionary history of the genus Ficus (Moraceae)

AbstractDespite many attempts in the Sanger sequencing era, the phylogeny of fig trees remains unresolved, which limits our ability to analyze the evolution of key traits that may have contributed to their evolutionary and ecological success. We used restriction‐site‐associated DNA sequencing (c. 420 kb) and 102 morphological characters to elucidate the relationships between 70 species of Ficus. To increase phylogenetic information for higher‐level relationships, we targeted conserved regions and assembled paired reads into long loci to enable the retrieval of homologous loci in outgroup genomes. We compared morphological and molecular results to highlight discrepancies and reveal possible inference bias. For the first time, we recovered a monophyletic subgenus Urostigma (stranglers) and a clade with all gynodioecious Ficus. However, we show, with a new approach based on iterative principal component analysis, that it is not (and will probably never be) possible to homogenize evolutionary rates and GC content for all taxa before phylogenetic inference. Four competing positions for the root of the molecular tree are possible. The placement of section Pharmacosycea as sister to other fig trees is not supported by morphological data and considered a result of a long‐branch attraction artefact to the outgroups. Regarding morphological features and indirect evidence from the pollinator tree of life, the topology that divides Ficus into monoecious versus gynodioecious species appears most plausible. It seems most likely that the ancestor of fig trees was a freestanding tree and active pollination is inferred as the ancestral state, contrary to previous hypotheses. However, ambiguity remains on the ancestral breeding system. Despite morphological plasticity, we advocate restoring a central role to morphology in our understanding of the evolution of Ficus, as it can help detect systematic errors that appear more pronounced with larger molecular datasets.
Traffic video‐based intelligent traffic control system for smart cities using modified ant colony optimizer

Published: November 2020

AbstractRoad traffic congestion is a serious problem in today's world and it happens because of urbanization and population growth. The traffic reduces the transport efficiency in the city, increases the waiting time and travel time, and also increases the usage of fuel and air pollution. To overcome these issues this papers propose an intelligent traffic control system using the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). The vehicles or nodes present in the IoV can communicate between themselves. This technique helps in determining the traffic intensity and the best route to reach the destination. The area of study used in this paper is Vellore city in Tamilnadu, India. The city map is separated into many segments of equal size and Ant Colony Algorithm (AOC) is applied to the separated maps to find the optimal route to reach the destination. Further, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to calculate the traffic density and to model the heavy traffic. The proposed algorithm performs better in finding the optimal route when compared to that of the existing path selection algorithms. From the results, it is evident that the proposed IoV‐based route selection method provides better performance.
