Does productivity drive the real exchange rate movements? A re-examination of the Balassa–Samuelson hypothesis
Authors: Jangam Bhushan Praveen , Rath Badri Narayan 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThe primary purpose of this study is to examine whether the classification of industries into the tradable and nontradable matters for the Balassa–Samuelson (BS) effect.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses annual data for 38 countries from 1995 to 2014. To examine whether the classification of industries matter, the study proceeds with two approaches, that is, “traditional” and “benchmark”.FindingsFirst, by applying panel cointegration tests of Pedroni and Westerlund, the results validate the BS hypothesis. However, the coefficients of long-run elasticities show appreciation of real exchange rate (RER) due to increase in productivity in the case of “traditional approach”, whereas depreciation of RER in the case of “benchmark approach”. Second, by applying the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel Granger causality test, the results reveal the bi-directional causality among RER and productivity for both the approaches. Further, to provide more insights, the study employs a fixed-effects panel threshold model. The results indicate that increase in productivity leads to both appreciation and depreciation of RER depending on threshold regimes.Practical implicationsThe study ascertains that the evidence of BS effect depends on the choice of approach considered. However, irrespective of the classification, there exists a BS effect beyond a threshold.Originality/valueAlthough the BS effect is well established in the literature; there is no study examining the importance of classification of industries at a disaggregated level. Furthermore, there is no consideration of threshold effects.
Variations in American marketing practices of early 19th-century ceramic importers and dealers, reflecting culture and identity
Authors: Ewins Neil 
Published: June 2020

Purpose
This paper explores the advertising strategy of crockery importers and dealers in relationship to their origins and backgrounds. This is a departure from earlier ceramic-history literature which tended to focus on the Staffordshire producers, with limited awareness on how the identity of importers and dealers influenced what products were sold, and their individual approaches to marketing.

Design/methodology/approach
Within a context of historical marketing research, this paper analyses newspaper advertising and commentary. It combines an examination of marketing practices with a wider consideration of the cultural identities of ceramic importers and dealers. The digitalization of historical records, combined with sophisticated search engines, makes it more feasible to examine a broader range of sources. Thus, modern research methods can enhance our understanding of production and demand and reveal how marketing strategy was diverse.

Findings
Awareness on how advertising was influenced by the backgrounds and socio-political views of importers and dealers demonstrates ways in which Anglo-American ceramic trade could be far more market-led. More significantly, marketing approaches were not necessarily responding to American demand, but rather that importers could engage in commissioning goods which reflected their own views on politics, religion or slavery.

Originality/value
Examining the advertising of importers demonstrates the complex relationship between production and ceramic demand. This paper opens up debates as to how far the advertising of other merchandise in the USA shows evidence of taking a more individual approach by the 19th century.
Full range indeed? The forgotten dark side of leadership
Authors: Itzkovich Yariv , Heilbrunn Sibylle , Aleksic Ana 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThe full-range leadership theory, and the distinction between transformational, transactional and laissez-faire leadership behaviour has strongly influenced leadership theory and research in the last several decades. However, in spite of its impact on theory and practice, it has a few shortcomings, as, in its essence, it disregards several essential aspects of a leader’s behaviour, such as the dark side of leadership behaviour. Therefore, to capture various leader behaviours, we provide a more comprehensive leadership model named the “complete full range of leadership”.Design/methodology/approachBased on reviewing the relevant theoretical and empirical literature, we propose an extended theoretical model, which addresses the existing shortcomings of the full range leadership model.FindingsFirst, we added a new active and more destructive facet of leadership style named active, destructive leadership style. Second, based on existing empirical findings, we restructured the transactional facet of full-range leadership by collapsing its components into two new distinct facets representing active constructive leadership style and passive destructive leadership style. Finally, drawing on Hersey and Blanchard’s model, we add a new passive and constructive facet named passive constructive leadership.Originality/valueOur suggested “complete full range of leadership” contributes to leadership theory by addressing the gap between existing theory and empirical findings, making a clear distinction between lack of leadership and delegation and by comprising the dark side of leadership with its bright side into one comprehensive leadership model.
From fandom to fad: are millennials really engaged with and loyal to their loved brands on social media?
Authors: Fernandes Teresa , Inverneiro Inês 
Published: June 2020

Purpose
Exerting a peculiar fascination on both managers and academics, Millennials can be distinguished from other cohorts by their intense exposure to the internet and heavy use of social media, which, in turn, affect their identity formation, brand engagement, loyalty and purchase behaviour. Yet, uncertainties regarding online engagement and the real benefits brands can reap from Millennials’ avid use of social media remain. Therefore, by developing a holistic model of drivers and outcomes, this study aims to understand how Millennials engage with their most loved, self-expressive brands across social media platforms and its impact on loyalty-related intentions.

Design/methodology/approach
Data was gathered using a self-administered survey, answered by 343 millennial generation social media users and based on self-selected self-expressive, loved brands. Considering brand loyalty as a key outcome, a holistic model was developed and tested using partial least squares-structural equation modelling, emphasizing not only the role of social media engagement but also including brand love, experience and identification as direct and indirect antecedents.

Findings
Findings suggest a disconnection between online and offline brand relationships: though Millennials love and are very loyal to their favourite brands, they are not actively engaged in social media, which helps to explain the non-significant effect of engagement on brand loyalty. Moreover, together with brand identification, brand experience was found to play a major role in developing brand love, which, in turn, is positively related to engagement and loyalty.

Originality/value
Theoretically, this study contributes to bridging a gap in the literature, as research on engagement, its drivers and outcomes is scant and there is no robust evidence about its impact on brand loyalty, particularly among Millennials. Moreover, research on disengaged consumers who exhibit limited willingness to engage is still scant. Managerially, this study provides insights for brand managers wishing to successfully engage and build relationships with Millennials and to identify key routes to Millennials’ loyalty.

Published: June 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to test the effects of augmenting an evidence-based physical activity intervention within an existing commercial weight loss program to assess effects on increasing physical activity and reducing psychological distress.Design/methodology/approachThe CONSORT guidelines were adopted for the study. In total, 49 women with overweight or obesity (Mage=39.5, SD:12.4;MBody Mass Index=31.02, SD: 2.10) enrolled in a six week commercial weight loss program were randomized to an intervention or a control group. Participants in the control group received care as usual; participants in the intervention group additionally received an evidence-based intervention to increase physical activity that included behavior change techniques including implementation intentions, goal-setting and self-monitoring.FindingsWeekly steps increased in the intervention group (M=31,516.25; SD=9,310.17 toM=62,851.36; SD=13,840.4) significantly more (p<0.001,ηp2=0.32) than in the control group (M=30,207.67; SD=7,833.29) toM=46,969.33 (SD=9,470.96), along with experiencing significantly lower anxiety (p<0.001,ηp2=0.15), social dysfunction (p<0.001,ηp2=0.16) and depression symptoms (p<0.05,ηp2=0.08) at follow-up.Research limitations/implicationsThis intervention warrants extension to those seeking to improve mental health through physical activity.Originality/valueThis study took a novel approach of augmenting a commercial weight loss program with a theory-based physical activity module, showing positive effects for physical activity behavior and psychological health.
CEO selection, reference setting, and postsuccession strategic change
Authors: Liu Xin , Atinc Guclu 
Published: June 2020

PurposeDrawing on the literature on CEO succession research and impression management, the present study examines how the selection of CEO successors affects their motivation to initiate postsuccession strategic change. Based on the perspective of reference-dependence in prospect theory, the study also explores the impact of boards' reference-point setting on the intensity of CEO successors' inclination to change corporate strategy after assuming office.Design/methodology/approachTwo-stage Heckman model and a spline function analysis are used to analyze data of 4,373 firm-year observations from Chinese listed companies between 2001 and 2016.FindingsThe empirical findings indicate that the intensity of CEO successors' willingness to change corporate strategy is diluted by the gap between the focal firm's performance on succession and its prior performance, while it is strengthened by the gap between the focal firm's performance on succession and the industry-average level of performanceOriginality/valueBy establishing a theoretical model, the present study analyzes the process of CEO selection to explore the role of boards of directors in this process and its effect on CEO successors' willingness to initiate postsuccession strategic change. Significantly, this study shows that the boards of directors would adopt internal and external reference setting when evaluating CEO successors in the postsuccession phase, which would impact the intensity of successors' motivation to manage impression by initiating postsuccession strategic change.

Published: June 2020

PurposeThis article aims to illustrate the influence of the adaptive reuse of historic buildings on tourists’ appreciation and actual visitation.Design/methodology/approachThis study surveyed the perception of tourists on the adaptive reuse of historic buildings activity in Kuching city, Malaysia, via the causal research design and self-administered questionnaire. Two hundred forty-two respondents participated in this survey.FindingsThis study found that the tourists highly acknowledged the practices of adaptive reuse of the historic buildings. Their positive behaviour is evident when most of the tourists perceived the adaptive reuse of the historic buildings influence their level of appreciation and subsequently translated it into their actual visitation.Practical implicationsBased on these findings, this study proposes that the adaptive reuse of historic buildings be marketed as a heritage tourism product. This promising indication from the tourists will undoubtedly draw several practical implications to the local authority policy on the practices of historic buildings adaptive reuse and how it benefits the heritage tourism development.Originality/valueThis study confirms that adaptive reuse is an excellent initiative as it is not only preserving the historical treasures for future generations but is a catalyst for tourism development and helps to generate income for the community.

Published: June 2020

AbstractGroup B streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of neonatal infections. Most isolates are β‐hemolytic, and their activity is considered to be pivotal for GBS pathogenicity. We report a case of a neonate with meningitis caused by nonhemolytic GBS. The patient developed meningitis 3 days after birth. Genotyping was performed and the characteristics of the strain (GCMC97051) identified by whole genome sequence using next generation sequencing. GCMC97051 possesses genetic alterations such as disruption of cylA by IS1381A insertion and a frameshift mutation in cylE, resulting in a lack of hemolysis. Thus, nonhemolytic GBS can retain the potential to cause invasive infections.
Genecology and ecophysiology of the maintenance of foliar phenotypic polymorphisms of Leptospermum recurvum (Myrtaceae) under oscillating atmospheric desiccation in the tropical‐subalpine zone of Mount Kinabalu, Borneo

Published: June 2020

AbstractWe investigated genecology and ecophysiological mechanisms of the polymorphism of leaf trichome density of Leptospermum recurvum Hook. f. (Myrtaceae) in the deglaciated summit zone above 3,000 m a.s.l. of Mt. Kinabalu, Borneo. Various phenotypes with variable foliar trichome densities occurred sympatrically in the same population, and the composition of coexisting phenotypes varied substantially among populations. We conducted a common garden experiment by sowing seeds from multiple maternal trees of different leaf trichome densities. We found a significant relation between pubescence of maternal trees and offspring, which indicated that leaf trichome density had a genetic basis. Microsatellite analysis revealed that there was no barrier to gene flows among phenotypes or among populations, and very low neutral genetic differentiation among populations with high gene flows for both directions of phenotypes. The soils in the sites dominated by pubescent trees were significantly more desiccated than in the sites dominated by glabrous trees during a short drought. Glabrous trees had a significantly greater mortality rate than pubescent trees after an intensive El Niño drought (13.7 vs. 3.9%) in the same sites where both phenotypes occurred sympatrically. Pubescent individuals demonstrated a significantly greater photosynthetic water‐use efficiency than glabrous individuals. El Niño droughts could cause large difference in soil moisture among sites and that a greater desiccation stress removed glabrous phenotypes as one end of divergent natural selection to form pubescent populations. These results implied that the process shaping the phenotypic polymorphisms involved strong gene flows combined with ongoing divergent selection.
Microbiological and technological parameters impacting the chemical composition and sensory quality of kombucha

Published: June 2020

AbstractKombucha is a beverage made from sugared tea transformed by yeasts and acetic acid bacteria. Being originally homemade, it has become an industrially produced soft drink whose quality standards are poorly defined and whose production process is still not fully controlled. Based on current knowledge in beverages, links between kombucha's chemical composition and sensorial compounds are drawn. Macromolecules create turbidity, whereas uncharacterized tea pigments derivatives participate in the color. Residual sugars bring sweetness and organic acids produced by acetic acid bacteria form its characteristic sour taste. Acetic acid is also part of its aroma profile, although little data are available on the smell of kombucha. Carbon dioxide, potentially polyphenols, and residual ethanol are involved in the mouthfeel. In this review, after defining the key compounds that shape the characteristic sensory properties of kombucha, the impact of different production parameters is discussed. Water composition is determinant in the extraction of tea compounds along with the tea type and infusion duration and temperature. The type and amount of sweeteners play a role in the sweetness and influences the production kinetics. Similarly, the amount of inoculum and its microbial composition have an effect on the production, but the role of the vessels' geometry and temperature are also essential parameters that can be used to adjust the acidification phase's duration. Despite the amount of research carried out, further investigations of kombucha's sensory characteristics are needed. Such research could lead to a better definition of kombucha's quality and to an improved control over its production process.
Combination of Alcalase 2.4 L and CaCl2 for aqueous extraction of peanut oil
Authors: Zhou Longzheng , Chen Fusheng , Liu Kunlun , Zhu Tingwei , Jiang Lianzhou 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe combined application of CaCl2 and Alcalase 2.4 L to the aqueous extraction process of peanuts was evaluated as a method to destabilize the oil body (OB) emulsion and improve the oil yield. After adding 5 mM CaCl2, the oil yield was reached to 92.0% which was similar with that obtained using Alcalase 2.4 L alone, and the required enzyme loading was decreased by approximately 60 times. In addition, the demulsification mechanism during aqueous extraction process was also investigated. Particle size and zeta‐potential measurements indicated that the stability of the peanut OB emulsion dramatically decreased when CaCl2 was added. Under these conditions, the demulsification of Alcalase 2.4 L performed was more efficiently. SDS–PAGE results showed that adding CaCl2 changed the subunit structure of the peanut OB interface proteins and promoted the cross‐linking among the arachin Ara h3 isoforms, resulting in unstable emulsions.
Cationic oxidized microporous rice starch: Preparation, characterization, and properties

Published: June 2020

AbstractThe combination of enzymolysis of compound enzyme, oxidation of sodium hypochlorite, and cationic etherification of 3‐chloro‐2‐hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTMA) was selected for the functionalization of rice starch (RS) to better raise the performances. The results showed that the oxidation and etherification could improve the acid and alkali resistance of RS, and enhanced its thermal stability. The crystalline structure of RS was an A‐type, the enzymolysis, oxidation, and etherification did not change the structural type, while the crystallinity degree of RS derivatives was all reduced. The enzymolysis, oxidation, and etherification altered the pasting properties of RS, and could effectively decrease the setback and breakdown of RS. The oxidation of sodium hypochlorite not only damaged RS particles containing no micropores, but also destroyed the particles containing the micropores. The enzymolysis and oxidation more seriously destroyed the crystalline region than cationic etherification. The oxidation could increase the enthalpy change of RS, whereas the enzymolysis and etherification decreased its enthalpy change. In addition, the enzymolysis and oxidation could lead to the evident increase in average size of RS. The cationic etherification was able to improve the adsorption of Cu2+ on RS, whereas the low oxidation could only slightly ameliorate the adsorption of Cu2+.Practical ApplicationCationic oxidized microporous rice starch as an adsorbent, slow‐release agent, and flocculant will be well used in food, medicine, pesticide, papermaking, waste water treatment, and so on owing to its abundant micropores, anionic groups, and cationic groups as well as small particle size and narrow size range.
A study of landing behaviour by the walnut twig beetle,Pityophthorus juglandis, among host and nonhost hardwood trees in a northern California riparian forest

Published: June 2020

AbstractThe host selection behaviour of the walnut twig beetle,Pityophthorus juglandis, was assessed by monitoring the landing rates of the beetles with sticky sheet traps on the host and nonhost hardwood branches.Sticky sheet traps were deployed for 8 weeks from 6 June to 2 August. 2017 in the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve, Davis,CA. Branches from host northern California black walnut,Juglans hindsii, were paired with branches from six nonhost hardwood species.The landing rate ofP.juglandis(412 beetles trapped/8 weeks; 389 on host branches, 23 on nonhost branches) was significantly greater on the host branches for all nonhost hardwoods exceptPopulus fremontii. Proportional comparisons of beetle presence also revealed a significant preference for the host branches compared with all but two nonhost species,Acer negundoandP.fremontii.CapturingP.juglandiswithout the use of an aggregation pheromone was a rare event, underscoring the difficulty of studying the initial phases of host selection behaviour in bark beetles. Unbaited funnel traps adjacent to selected host trees in the experiment only captured five individuals over a 19‐week period. None were captured in traps adjacent to nonhost trees.This study provided evidence thatP.juglandisdiscriminates between host and nonhost branches while in‐flight. This directed flight behaviour is likely informed by the recognition of both host and nonhost volatile cues.This study established an ecological context for the development of a semiochemical‐based repellent system for protecting walnut trees from future attacks from this invasive bark beetle.
Citizen forces
Authors: AKARSU HAYAL 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACTIn the last 15 years the Turkish National Police have invested heavily in “community policing,” espousing the belief that a strong police‐public relationship will curtail authoritarian policing and police violence. Yet this reform has intensified popular desires for more policing and fostered a new type of citizen‐police subject, what I call citizen forces. The purportedly liberal tool of community policing turned the previously despised figure of the police informer into a respected practitioner of engaged, responsible, and vigilant citizenship. When functioning as ancillary police forces, citizen forces can help consolidate state power and aggravate state repression, especially against suspect Others. Emerging mostly at the neighborhood level, such forms of policing and politicization demonstrate the increasing complicity and mutual constitution of police and citizens, as well as the formation of state‐sponsored vigilantism.
