The Kathmandu Valley's indigenous practices of safeguarding heritage: an assessment of present-day challenges
Authors: Maharjan Monalisa , Barata Filipe Themudo 
Published: September 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand the traditional practices of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage (ICH) through “Guthi”, that is continued by the indigenous community of Kathmandu Valley. It explores the ancient system as a management practice rather than just a social costume. By analyzing existing laws and policies relevant to intangible heritage of Nepal, it aims to find scope for the Guthi in the formal heritage conservation practice and its relevancy in present context of 2003 Convention, where community participation plays a pivotal role.Design/methodology/approachTo study the traditional method of safeguarding heritage “Guthi system”, the case of “Yehya Punhi Festival” also known as “Indra Jatra” of Kathmandu was taken as a case. Qualitative research methodology was used to study various sub festivals within Yenya, its functions, funding mechanism and its way of continuity by Guthi. Review of various legislations associated with the heritage of Nepal, published and unpublished official documents as well as international conventions and recommendations were done. In addition to semi-structured interview with Guthi members, experts and locals; the observation of eight days long festival was also conducted,FindingsThe study found that traditional Guthi system still holds a strong value in the social structure and safeguarding of traditional practices even with negative impact of modernization. Guthi is the main reason for the continuity of the Yenya Punhi festival, along with various associated rituals, while the national legislations of Nepal do not recognize Guthi as a safeguarding practice. Traditional practice could be a way forward for implementation of 2003 convention in Nepal when Nepal has already ratified the convention. Guthi could be sustainable way of safeguarding heritage if integrated well in the formal heritage practices.Originality/valueGuthi has been studied by many researchers from anthropological perspectives and even conservation for tangible heritage but not as a mechanism of safeguarding ICH. Guthi could be one of the excellent examples of Safeguarding Intangible Heritage and could also be a good recipe for management with community participation, sustainability and indigenous knowledge. More research and publication like this is necessary to push government to look into homegrown solutions than implementing new management plan.

Beyond self-selection: the multilayered online review biases at the intersection of users, platforms and culture
Authors: Shen Xiangyou , Pan Bing , Hu Tao , Chen Kaijun , Qiao Lin , Zhu Jinyue 
Published: August 2020

PurposeOnline review bias research has predominantly focused on self-selection biases on the user’s side. By collecting online reviews from multiple platforms and examining their biases in the unique digital environment of “Chinanet,” this paper aims to shed new light on the multiple sources of biases embedded in online reviews and potential interactions among users, technical platforms and the broader social–cultural norms.Design/methodology/approachIn the first study, online restaurant reviews were collected from Dianping.com, one of China's largest review platforms. Their distribution and underlying biases were examined via comparisons with offline reviews collected from on-site surveys. In the second study, user and platform ratings were collected from three additional major online review platforms – Koubei, Meituan and Ele.me – and compared for possible indications of biases in platform's review aggregation.FindingsThe results revealed a distinct exponential-curved distribution of Chinese users’ online reviews, suggesting a deviation from previous findings based on Western user data. The lack of online “moaning” on Chinese review platforms points to the social–cultural complexity of Chinese consumer behavior and online environment that goes beyond self-selection at the individual user level. The results also documented a prevalent usage of customized aggregation methods by review service providers in China, implicating an additional layer of biases introduced by technical platforms.Originality/valueUsing an online–offline design and multi-platform data sets, this paper elucidates online review biases among Chinese users, the world's largest and understudied (in terms of review biases) online user group. The results provide insights into the unique social–cultural cyber norm in China's digital environment and bring to light the multilayered nature of online review biases at the intersection of users, platforms and culture.
The sharing economy: the influence of perceived corporate social responsibility on brand commitment
Authors: Fatma Mobin , Khan Imran , Rahman Zillur , Pérez Andrea 
Published: September 2020

Purpose
This study aims to identify the influence of perceived corporate social responsibility (PCSR) on consumer brand commitment in ridesharing services.

Design/methodology/approach
PCSR is a second-order construct reflecting three dimensions – economic, environment and ethics. A total of 423 useable responses were collected through an online survey. To test the hypotheses, structural equation modelling was used via AMOS 22.0.

Findings
Findings reveal that PCSR has a significant influence on consumer brand trust and brand identification. However, no direct relationship is observed between PCSR and brand commitment. The effect of PCSR and brand commitment is significantly mediated by brand trust and brand identification.

Practical implications
The investment of resources in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities has many advantages because it increases trust and identification towards the brand. Ridesharing business firms are growing in size, so they should harness CSR activities by investing money into them that benefits society.

Originality/value
Sharing economy services have the potential to assist the global and local economy towards environmental friendliness. Yet, there is a lack of research on how the sharing economy model works the social responsibility aspects of the model and its impact on consumer response. This study assesses the dimensions of PCSR and its influence on brand commitment via a brand trust and brand identification towards ridesharing services.
Examining the boundaries of entrepreneurial marketing: a bibliographic analysis
Authors: Ferreira Caitlin , Robertson Jeandri 
Published: September 2020

Purpose
Literature in the entrepreneurial marketing (EM) field continues to flourish with a noted increase in publications in recent years. This study aims to conduct a bibliographic analysis of EM literature, to examine the intellectual landscape of the field and assess scientific productivity and impact.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 1,363 EM papers, extracted from the Web of Science database, were identified between 2005 and 2019. Co-authorship, citation, co-citation and keyword co-occurrence were examined, identifying the most-prominent authors, articles, journals and countries of publication, citation and co-citation. Network maps were created using VOSviewer.

Findings
The findings indicate that EM has become a thriving, multidisciplinary field that has reached a point of maturity, where exploration is seemingly a major focus of the field’s expansion. This maturity is mirrored in the evolution of the EM operationalisation – moving from a narrowly defined scope to a far broader and encompassing operationalisation. Distinct schools of thought emerging in the literature have been identified and emerging trends guiding the future growth of the EM field have been discussed. The expansion of the field continues to be assembled on the foundation of a number of seminal papers.

Originality/value
This research offers an updated examination of the EM field, in particular, including a period of recent expansion in the field. The incorporation of network maps offers a visual depiction of the intellectual landscape of the field.
Performance of steel-plate shear wall at high temperature
Authors: Jamshidi Morteza , Dashti NaserAbadi Heydar , Oliaei Mohammadreza 
Published: September 2020

Purpose
The high heat induced by fire can substantially decrease the load-bearing capacity, which is more critical in unprotected steel structures than concrete reinforced structures. One of the conventional steel structures is a steel-plate shear wall (SPSW) in which thin infill steel plates are used to resist against the lateral loads. Due to the small thickness of infill plates, high heat seems to dramatically influence the lateral load-bearing capacity of this type of structures. Therefore, this study aims to provide an investigation into the performance of SPSW with reduced beam section at high temperature.

Design/methodology/approach
In the present paper, to examine the seismic performance of SPSW at high temperature, 48 single-span single-story steel frames equipped with steel plates with the thicknesses of 2.64 mm, 5 mm and 7 mm and yield stresses of 85 MPa, 165 MPa, 256 MPa and 300 MPa were numerically modeled. Furthermore, their behavioral indices, namely, strength, stiffness, ductility and hysteresis behavior, were studied at the temperatures of 20, 458, 642 and 917? The simulated models in the present paper are based on the experimental specimen presented by Vian and Bruneau (2004).

Findings
The obtained results revealed that the high heat harshly diminishes the seismic performance of SPSW so that the lateral strength is reduced even by 95% at substantially high temperatures. Therefore, SPSW starts losing its strength and stiffness at high temperature such that it completely loses its capacity of strength, stiffness and energy dissipation at the temperature of 917? Moreover, it was proved that by separating the percentage of their participations variations of the infill plate in SPSW, their behavior and the bare frame can be examined even at high temperatures.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the seismic performance of SPSW at different temperatures has not been evaluated and compared yet.
Effects of different starter cultures on the ripening characteristics of Golot cheese
Authors: Sekban Hayriye , Tarakci Zekai 
Published: September 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical, textural and sensory properties of some starter cultures fruit-added Golot cheese.

Design/methodology/approach
Six types of Golot cheeses were produced in this study. While the control sample contained no starter cultures, five different starter culture combinations (GS1: Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, L. lactis subsp. lactis and Lactobacillus bulgaricus; GS2: S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus; GS3: S. thermophilus; GS4: S. thermophilus and Lactobacillus helveticus; and GS5: S. thermophilus, L. lactis subsp. cremoris and L. lactis subsp. lactis) were applied to the other cheese samples using an immersion technique. Then, all cheeses were vacuum-packed and ripened at 4 ± 1°C for three months and their chemical, biochemical, sensory and textural analyses were performed on the 2nd, 15th, 30th, 60th and 90th days of ripening.

Findings
Results indicated that generally starter cultures have positive effects on the chemical, biochemical and sensory properties of Golot cheese. Considering the final values, the addition of starter cultures enhanced the ripening index of Golot cheeses (8.4%–9.2%), except the GS3 (7.4%), compared to the control (8.1%). At the end of the ripening period, meltability values of GS4 (16.5 mm) cultured cheeses were higher than those of other cultured cheeses (13.0–15.5 mm) and control cheese (14.5 mm). While lipolysis values were low in fresh cheese, it increased during ripening. Overall, GS3 (2.46 acid degree value [ADV]) and GS4 (2.40 ADV) had the highest lipolysis rate, while GS1 (2.14 ADV) had the lowest (p = 0.07). Electrophoretograms indicated that the highest fragmentation of α- and ß-casein occurred in GS5 (48.43%) and GS1 (44.24%), respectively. Also, GS5 was the most appreciated and preferred cheese in terms of sensory. Regarding texture, hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, springiness and gumminess values were determined to be statistically important in terms of ripening time and cheese variety (p < 0.01).

Originality/value
Consequently, all starters had a positive impact on Golot cheese samples and among all S. thermophilus and L. helveticus starter were determined to be the most applicable one considering ripening, texture, sensory and melting properties.
Moving in and adjusting to a new country without the support of an employer? Tapping into personal dispositions and capabilities to achieve social well-being
Authors: Presbitero Alfred 
Published: September 2020

PurposeSocial well-being is the perception and feeling of belongingness and integration within the community and the broader society. For self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) who rely on their own personal resources and network, the achievement of high levels of social well-being can be challenging (compared to corporate-initiated expatriates who typically receive pre-departure training and relocation assistance from their employers). Hence, in this study, we examine personal factors and theoretically ground how they can be helpful and influence the achievement of high levels of social well-being among SIEs.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a survey study (n = 215) involving SIEs to determine how specific personal factors influence the achievement of social well-being.FindingsThe authors analyzed the data using PROCESS approach and results show that cultural intelligence positively and significantly relates to social well-being. In addition, cross-cultural adjustment is shown to exert an influence as a mediator and further found to be moderated by a personality trait (i.e. emotional stability). Supplementary analyses further show support for the critical role of each of the dimensions of cultural intelligence in the moderated-mediation process.Originality/valueThis study offers novel insights relevant for SIEs who move in to another country and try to socially integrate without any support from employers. The study highlights how personal resources and capabilities could help in the achievement of social well-being. Specifically, the findings suggest the important role of cultural intelligence which needs to be developed prior and after the relocation. Also, the study suggests how a personality trait such as emotional stability can be tapped to increase the likelihood of achieving social well-being among SIEs.
Leaving the area under the receiving operating characteristic curve behind: An evaluation method for species distribution modelling applications based on presence‐only data
Authors: Jiménez Laura , Soberón Jorge 
Published: August 2020

Abstract

The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiving‐operating characteristic (or certain modifications of it) is almost universally used to assess the performance of species distribution models (SDMs), despite the well‐recognized problems encountered with this approach, mainly present when dealing with presence‐only data.

We present a probabilistic treatment of the presence‐only problem and derive a method to assess the performance of SDMs based on the analysis of an area‐presence plot and the SDM outputs represented in both geographic and environmental spaces.

We show how our method is useful to solve the two main tasks for which the AUC is used: assessing the performance of an SDM and comparing the performance of different SDMs. Our results build on previous work and constitute a rigorous method for assessing the performance of SDMs in relation to a random classifier.

We establish comparisons with two of the most popular approaches used to assess the performance of an SDM, the AUC and the Boyce index, and identified cases in which our method has advantages over these two approaches.

We suggest that the performance of an algorithm that classifies presence‐only data can be assessed by two factors: (a) the degree of non‐randomness of the classification at every step in the accumulation curve of presences, and (b) the amount of uninformative niche space used for the classification. The method we developed can be applied to any SDM output by using the R functions available at: https://github.com/LauraJim/SDM‐hyperTest.
Effects of smoking behaviour changes on depression in older people: a retrospective study
Authors: Gyeong Son Hye 
Published: September 2020

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to identify the effects of changes in smoking behaviour on the presence of depression in participants aged 65 years and over.MethodsData from the 1st to 6th Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging were used in this study. The participants comprised 374 older adults aged 65 years and over, who had smoked in the past. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the effects of smoking behaviour change on the presence of depression.ResultsChanges in smoking behaviour were categorised into three groups: (1) dramatically reduced (66.8%), (2) slightly reduced (19.8%), and (3) increased (13.4%). Those participants who showed significantly reduced smoking were more likely to have depression than those who increased smoking.ConclusionIt is necessary to develop practical protocols and educational programs aimed at preventing and managing depression in older adults aged 65 years and above.
Pregnancy outcomes among multi‐ethnic women with different degrees of hyperglycaemia during pregnancy in an urban New Zealand population and their association with postnatal HbA1c uptake
Authors: Immanuel Jincy , Eagleton Carl , Baker John , Simmons David 
Published: September 2020

BackgroundAdverse pregnancy outcomes are more common in women with hyperglycaemia. Many women have suboptimal uptake of HbA1c testing postdelivery.AimsTo compare pregnancy outcomes among multi‐ethnic women with different degrees of hyperglycaemia during pregnancy, and their association with postnatal HbA1c uptake after the introduction of email reminders.Materials and MethodsA retrospective and prospective single‐centre study was conducted in South Auckland in 2639 women with early gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (diagnosed < 20 weeks), late GDM (diagnosed ≥ 20 weeks), overt diabetes in pregnancy, or known type 2 diabetes (T2DM) during pregnancy. Automated email reminders were sent to general practitioners to increase postnatal HbA1c screening.ResultsHbA1c during pregnancy increased across the late GDM (n = 1425), early GDM (n = 148), overt diabetes (n = 573) and T2DM (n = 493) groups (P < 0.001). Stillbirth was least common in the late GDM group (0, 0.7, 0.5, and 1.9%, respectively, P < 0.001), as were caesarean delivery (32.7, 45.1, 39.4, and 53.5%, respectively, P < 0.001), large for gestational age (LGA) (14.7, 18.2, 22.3, and 30.5%, respectively, P < 0.001), small for gestational age (8.8, 16.7, 11.0, and 11.1%, respectively, P = 0.02), and preeclampsia/eclampsia (7.7, 9.2, 13.0, and 14.8%, respectively, P < 0.001). LGA and preeclampsia/eclampsia were more common among Pacific and Māori women than European women (LGA, 30.1, 22.7, 10.3%, respectively, P < 0.001; preeclampsia/eclampsia, 13.5, 14.0, and 8.1%, respectively, P < 0.001). Postpartum HbA1c screening increased among women with GDM/overt diabetes after the introduction of the reminder emails (39.6% vs 34.0%, P = 0.03).ConclusionsWomen with late GDM are least likely to experience adverse outcomes. Email reminders to improve postpartum HbA1c screening warrant further investigation.
