Characteristics of offending and non-offending CSA helpline users explored
Authors: Wilpert Julia , Janssen Ellen 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThis study aims to exploratively compare several characteristics of 330 offending and non-offending Dutch subjects, seeking advice/help from child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention helpline Stop it Now!-The Netherlands (SiN-NL).Design/methodology/approachWith a retrospective cross-sectional design, SiN-NL contact logs between March 2012 and June 2016 were investigated.FindingsResults revealed a few interesting differences and similarities. Contrary to earlier findings, attraction to minors and especially boys did not distinguish offenders and non-offenders. However, intimate partner status, suicidal tendencies and expectation of the helpline differed significantly between the study samples. Also, the relevance of several self-reported CSA promoting and impeding factors varied between groups. The non-offender group more often indicated fear of consequences and avoidance of risk situations to be constraining factors, whilst the offender group more frequently suggested benefiting from professional help and social support.Practical implicationsThe results of this study might inform different forms of prevention and treatment programs aimed at similar help-seeking individuals. Because of their perceived CSA promoting potential by help seekers, access to children and substance abuse are important topics to address by operators and taken into account when assessing offending risk. In contrast to earlier findings, sexual orientation did not differentiate offenders from non-offenders and might play a less significant role. Higher rates of suicidal tendencies and need for help and therapy could imply that, compared to non-offenders, offenders require a more cautious approach and additional care.Originality/valueTo our knowledge this is the first study to investigate self-reports of offending and non-offending subjects, seeking advice/help from a CSA prevention helpline.

Authors: Adarang Hesam , Bozorgi-Amiri Ali , Khalili-Damghani Kaveh , Tavakkoli-Moghaddam Reza 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThis paper addresses a location-routing problem (LRP) under uncertainty for providing emergency medical services (EMS) during disasters, which is formulated using a robust optimization (RO) approach. The objectives consist of minimizing relief time and the total cost including location costs and the cost of route coverage by the vehicles (ambulances and helicopters).Design/methodology/approachA shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) is developed to solve the problem and the performance is assessed using both the ε-constraint method and NSGA-II algorithm. For a more accurate validation of the proposed algorithm, the four indicators of dispersion measure (DM), mean ideal distance (MID), space measure (SM), and the number of Pareto solutions (NPS) are used.FindingsThe results obtained indicate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm within a proper computation time compared to the CPLEX solver as an exact method.Research limitations/implicationsIn this study, the planning horizon is not considered in the model which can affect the value of parameters such as demand. Moreover, the uncertain nature of the other parameters such as traveling time is not incorporated into the model.Practical implicationsThe outcomes of this research are helpful for decision-makers for the planning and management of casualty transportation under uncertain environment. The proposed algorithm can obtain acceptable solutions for real-world cases.Originality/valueA novel robust mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is proposed to formulate the problem as a LRP. To solve the problem, two efficient metaheuristic algorithms were developed to determine the optimal values of objectives and decision variables.
Building brand equity through communication consistency in luxury hotels: an impact-asymmetry analysis
Authors: Šerić Maja , Mikulić Josip 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThis paper examines the development of customer-based brand equity through communication consistency in a luxury hotel segment. Communication consistency is considered as a basic principle of the integrated marketing communications (IMC) approach.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical research was conducted among 223 guests during their stay in five-star deluxe luxury hotels in a Mediterranean country. Data are analyzed through the PLS technique and impact-asymmetry analysis.FindingsCommunication consistency is found to have a strong positive impact on all brand equity dimensions, especially on brand trust, brand image and perceived quality. The impact-asymmetry analysis further revealed negatively asymmetric relationships between communication consistency and six out of seven brand equity dimensions, except for affective commitment.Research limitations/implicationsSome restrictions related to the measurement scales should be mitigated in future research.Practical implicationsCommunication consistency is confirmed as a core management practice in luxury hotel business. Marketing professionals operating in this industry are therefore confronted with increasing challenges of efficient management of IMC.Originality/valueThis work addresses several research calls from the most recent marketing and hospitality literature. The analysis of the impact of communication consistency has extended our knowledge on the potential of IMC in creation of a strong brand. Obtained insights into the shape of the relationship between communication consistency and seven different brand equity dimensions help to better understand the process of brand equity building in a luxury hotel setting.

Cryptocurrencies and financial crime: solutions from Liechtenstein
Authors: Teichmann Fabian Maximilian Johannes , Falker Marie-Christin 
Published: June 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how cryptocurrencies are being used as a vehicle for financial crime (such as money laundering, terrorist financing and corruption) and propose a more effective international standard for regulation that uses the Liechtenstein blockchain act as a benchmark.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper investigates how cryptocurrencies facilitate financial crime through a qualitative study consisting of interviews with 10 presumed providers of illegal financial services and 18 international compliance experts.

Findings
This study shows that cryptocurrencies are a highly suitable vehicle for money laundering, terrorist financing and corruption and that current compliance efforts in the cryptocurrency sector are ineffective.

Research limitations/implications
The presented findings illustrate that for a more effective combat of financial crime via cryptocurrency, an international standard for blockchain and cryptocurrency regulation must be created. This paper suggests that Liechtenstein’s innovative and comprehensive blockchain act could be used as a basis for said standard. Practitioners should also consider cooperating transnationally when prosecuting financial crime via cryptocurrency.

Originality/value
The fact that cryptocurrencies facilitate financial crime is widely known. However, this study combines the perspectives of both compliance experts and presumed criminals to gain a comprehensive understanding of the techniques that money launderers, terrorist financiers and corrupt public officials use. This paper examines the potential for the innovative Liechtenstein blockchain act, which has, thus, far not received empirical attention, to set the benchmark for international regulations.
Compensation gap, retrenchment strategy and organizational turnaround: a configurational perspective
Authors: Tao Yan , Xu Gaoyan , Liu Hong 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThis paper extends the current understanding of the retrenchment-–turnaround relationship in declined companies by introducing a compensation gap view. It argues that the effectiveness of the retrenchment strategy is contingent on reducing the executive-employee compensation gap in the turnaround process.Design/methodology/approachDrawing from a two-stage turnaround model and insights from the literature on executive-employee compensation gap, we develop and test a theoretical model that explains how five attributes, which refer to executive-employee compensation gap, asset retrenchment, cost retrenchment, ownership and size, affect the outcome of the organizational turnaround. This paper uses the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method and based on the samples of 112 listed companies that experience the decline between 2005 and 2013.FindingsThis paper concludes two valid causal paths and finds that small companies with small executive-employee compensation gap have a higher likelihood of successful turnaround when they implement cost or asset retrenchment actions. As for large state-owned companies, they should reduce the costs and maintain a small executive-employee compensation gap. An excessive compensation gap can be problematic, which could impair the organizational ability to cope with adversity and decline.Research limitations/implicationsFirst, this paper taps the vital role of employees in the turnaround process besides the mainstream “organizational decline-layoffs” logic, which hints a new human resource management strategy when organizations are facing decline. Second, this paper reveals the theoretical linkage between pay dispersion, internal stakeholder and organizational resilience. Third, as a methodological contribution, we introduce fsQCA, overcoming the shortcomings of turnaround strategy research with case and regression analysis and breaking through the paradigm of “specific factor-turnaround.”Practical implicationsOrganizational turnaround is a systematic process that constitutes multiple factors together. When organizations take the asset retrenchment to stop bleeding, reducing the executive-employee compensation gap will help enhance employee's cognition of organizational values and strategic goals, eliminate feelings of exploitation in retrenchment implementation and thus effectively promote turnaround. This paper also provides a basis for executive compensation restrictions and re-examines pay dispersion and economic inequality.Originality/valueThis study sheds some light on the importance of the executive-employee compensation gap in retrenchment strategy and contributes to both organizational turnaround and pay dispersion theories. Also, it reveals the theoretical linkage between internal stakeholders, organizational resilience and long-term orientation.
Principal professionalism in the time of COVID-19
Authors: Stone-Johnson Corrie , Miles Weiner Jennie 
Published: June 2020

PurposeIn this paper, we describe the impact of COVID-19 on principals and their work. Drawing on prior research undertaken prior to the onset of the pandemic, we describe how principals were already grappling with difficult tensions associated with their expertise, autonomy, normative orientation and rewards that may have real implications for their work moving forward and how, in the current context of uncertainty and change we believe the issue of principal professionalism requires our collective attention and action.Design/methodology/approachOver the last year, we undertook a multistate qualitative study of 17 school leaders to explore how principals working in traditional public schools conceptualize the principal profession and their role within it. Briefly, we found that the principalship is an “emergent profession” characterized by shared but individually determined knowledge and skills; a normative orientation of service; confused notions of external expectations and rewards and ongoing tensions among all of these elements.FindingsProfessionalism may be a surprising lever for improving the capacity of school leadership. Through our research, we identified that little is known about professionalism as it relates to the unique work of school leaders, but that understanding more about it could lead to greater knowledge of how to encourage and retain them. In the current context of uncertainty, chaos and change, the pressure on leaders to stay in the role and to succeed has never been greater. Thus, it is critical that principals have the capacity to exert professionalism over their work and to have greater say in elements of it, recognizing that some decisions must be made at district, state and federal levels.Originality/valueWhile many studies investigate how teachers of various backgrounds and in different contexts think about teaching as a profession (e.g. Anderson and Cohen, 2015; Stone-Johnson, 2014b; Torres and Weiner, 2018; Hall and McGinty, 2015), we had difficulty identifying studies focused on principals and using frameworks of professionalism to understand how these activities reflect larger shifts in the profession itself. This is despite the changing nature of principals' work, which, like the work of teachers, has been and continues to be largely influenced by the increasing role of neoliberal principles and policies in education. The public nature of the work of school leadership and the potential to support students, families and the communities in which they live brings in sharp focus the necessity of greater understanding of it during the COVID-19 crisis.
Retooling methods for approaching discourse–materiality relations: a new materialist framework of multimodal sensitivity
Authors: Dille Maria Hvid , Plotnikof Mie 
Published: June 2020

PurposeWhile recent theoretical discussions around discourse–material relationality have facilitated important conceptual and analytical advancements within the broader field of CMS, less progress has been made methodologically with regard to innovating empirical methods and data modes. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to contribute to strengthening the methodological focus in the literature when grappling with the relationality of discourse–materiality and co-constitution. This includes a method-retooling framework inspired by new materialism.Design/methodology/approachIn this article, the authors engage at the methodological level by developing a method-retooling framework that combines insights from organizational discourse studies and new materialist thinking. This framework enables a retooling of existing methods to become sensitive to multimodality and offers two concrete examples that were developed during fieldwork for a multi-sited and multi-method case study in 2018.FindingsBased on the framework for retooling methods for multimodality, two illustrations are offered. These include retooling interviews by employing multimodal vignettes and retooling observations by using multimodal mappings. They are unfolded and discussed regarding their appropriation of discourse–material relationality.Originality/valueThis paper includes original research and method developments – adding a critical focus on the methodological aspects and potential advancements that are necessary in the wake of the ongoing debates around discourse–materiality across CMS and specifically within studies of organizational discourse and CCO. By suggesting a framework, the authors stimulate methodological explorations and contribute to furthering method developments that are equal to the rich conceptual progress made within the field.
Unity versus Collaboration: Construction of China's Belt and Road Free Trade Agreement 2.0 Network
Authors: Lu Jing , Pan Xiuyang , Xie Zuoling 
Published: June 2020

AbstractIn the context of the United States prioritizing bilateral as well as trilateral trade agreements and China's regional economic integration strategy based on the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative, the B&R free trade agreement (FTA) and the US–European–Japanese FTA (UEJFTA) have become the two regional economic integration processes with the greatest potential impact on the world economic landscape. The present paper examines the game situation as well as the economic effects of China's B&R‐FTA 2.0 network against the United States' UEJFTA to study the optimization of China's B&R FTA system. By constructing a four‐country extended game model under a two‐part expansion, we find that an increase in members will promote the welfare of each country when there is a single regional trade agreement; the potential member countries tend to choose larger organizations for higher economic benefits when there are several regional trade agreements. Our quantitative simulation shows that promoting the construction of the FTA 2.0 network based on the B&R can significantly alleviate the impact of FTA entered into by the United States with its major trading partners.
Detection of growth‐restricted fetuses during pregnancy is associated with fewer intrauterine deaths but increased adverse childhood outcomes: an observational study

Published: June 2020

ObjectiveExploring associations between antenatal detection of fetal growth restriction (FGR) and adverse outcome.DesignRetrospective, observational, register‐based study.SettingZealand, Denmark.Population or sampleChildren born from 1 September 2012 to 31 August 2015.MethodsDiagnoses from birth until 1 January 2018 were retrieved from The National Patient Registry. Detection was defined as estimated fetal weight less than the 2.3rd centile. Cox regression was used to associate detection status with the hazard rate of adverse outcome, adjusted for fetal weight deviation, maternal age, ethnicity, body mass index and smoking.Main outcome measuresAdverse neonatal outcome, adverse neuropsychiatric outcome, respiratory disorders, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal/urogenital disorders.ResultsA total of 2425 FGR children were included. An association was found for gastrointestinal/urogenital disorders (hazard ratio [HR] 1.68, 95% CI 1.26–2.23, P < 0.001) and respiratory disorders (HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.02–1.46, P = 0.03) in detected versus undetected infants. For adverse neuropsychiatric outcome, HR was 1.32 (95% CI 1.00–1.75, P = 0.05). There was no evidence of an association between detection and adverse neonatal outcome (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.62–1.61, P = 0.99) and endocrine disorders (HR 1.39, 95% CI 0.88–2.19, P = 0.16). Detected infants were smaller (median −28% versus −25%, P < 0.0001), more often born preterm (odds ratio [OR] 4.15, 3.12–5.52, P < 0.0001) and more often born after induction or caesarean section (OR 5.19, 95% CI 4.13–6.51, P < 0.0001). Stillbirth risk was increased in undetected FGR fetuses (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.37–5.04, P = 0.004).ConclusionsWe found an association between detection of FGR and risk of adverse childhood conditions, possibly caused by prematurity. Iatrogenic prematurity may be inevitable in stillbirth prevention, but is accompanied by a risk of long‐term childhood conditions.Tweetable abstractAntenatal detection of growth‐restricted fetuses is associated with adverse childhood outcomes but fewer intrauterine deaths.
An overview of insect innate immunity
Authors: Ali Mohammadie Kojour Maryam , Han Yeon Soo , Jo Yong Hun 
Published: June 2020

AbstractDue to the exposure of insects to various sources of pathogens during different stages of their life cycle and their vulnerability towards subsequent infections, moreover lack of morality issues, economical breeding and short‐term‐life cycle, insect's immunity has been considered as a high‐potential candidate to study underlying mechanisms of defense responses against all sort of invaders, as well as pandemic diseases. Currently, the world is enduring monumental pressure to meet global food production demands. One viable option would be to mass rear edible insects, such as coleopteran meal worm Tenebrio molitor, which is thought to be a substantial protein source. In addition, using antimicrobial peptides as an alternative for antibiotic source against multidrug‐resistant pathogens, makes insects a valuable option to solve this health issue. As a consequence, sufficient knowledge of insect immunity will lead us to reach advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies. To accomplish these goals, crucial importance of identification and functional characterization of the main signaling pathways, such as Toll and immune deficiency (IMD), prompted us to review the mechanisms of the signaling pathways involved in immune response in well‐known insect models.
Sodium‐glucose cotransporter 1 as a sugar taste sensor in mouse tongue
Authors: Yasumatsu Keiko , Ohkuri Tadahiro , Yoshida Ryusuke , Iwata Shusuke , Margolskee Robert F. , Ninomiya Yuzo 
Published: June 2020

AbstractAimWe investigated potential neuron types that code sugar information and how sodium‐glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) and T1Rs are involved.MethodsWhole‐nerve recordings in the chorda tympani (CT) and the glossopharyngeal (GL) nerves and single‐fibre recordings in the CT were performed in T1R3‐KO and wild‐type (WT) mice. Behavioural response measurements were conducted in T1R3‐KO mice using phlorizin (Phl), a competitive inhibitor of SGLTs.ResultsResults indicated that significant enhancement occurred in responses to sucrose and glucose (Glc) by adding 10 mmol/L NaCl but not in responses to KCl, monopotassium glutamate, citric acid, quinine sulphate, SC45647(SC) or polycose in both CT and GL nerves. These enhancements were abolished by lingual application of Phl. In single‐fibre recording, fibres showing maximal response to sucrose could be classified according to responses to SC and Glc with or without 10 mmol/L NaCl in the CT of WT mice, namely, Phl‐insensitive type, Phl‐sensitive Glc‐type and Mixed (Glc and SC responding)‐type fibres. In T1R3‐KO mice, Phl‐insensitive‐type fibres disappeared. Results from behavioural experiments showed that the number of licks and amount of intake for Glc with or without 10 mmol/L NaCl were significantly suppressed by Phl.ConclusionWe found evidence for the contribution of SGLTs in sugar sensing in taste cells of mouse tongue. Moreover, we found T1R‐dependent (Phl‐insensitive) type, Glc‐type and Mixed (SGLTs and T1Rs)‐type fibres. SGLT1 may be involved in the latter two types and may play important roles in the glucose‐specific cephalic phase of digestion and palatable food intake.
