Increasing sustainable consumption: message framing and in-store technology
Authors: Jäger Anna-Katharina , Weber Anja 
Published: May 2020

PurposeThis study investigates the potential of two different digital in-store technologies and advertisement message framings according to the construal-level theory for increasing sustainable consumption. This paper aims to provide managerial implications for the promotion of sustainable products at the point of sale as well as to theoretically contribute by integrating the literature streams of perceptual research, point-of-sale marketing and construal-level theory.Design/methodology/approachThe authors tested their hypotheses in a two-week field experiment with a 2 (product label: organic vs local) × 2 (message framing: high vs low construal level) × 2 (presentation technology: digital signage vs augmented reality) between-subjects factorial design. The study was conducted in two grocery stores of different sizes using milk as a test product. Purchase data, as well as attention data gathered by facial recognition software, were analyzed.FindingsEven though the magic mirror augmented reality application attracted significantly more attention, it did not significantly boost sales compared to the digital signage technology. In the larger store, the sales of the advertised sustainable products were significantly higher in both technology conditions than in the control condition without advertisement. If consumers pay enough attention to the promotion, results indicate that using messages with a concrete low-level construal is more useful for organic goods.Originality/valueThis study is the first investigating a combination of in-store technology and construal-level message framing for the promotion of sustainable products. It extends the retailing literature by proposing a two-step approach on how to use in-store technology effectively: (1) gaining attention and (2) matching messages to existing cognitions.
IMP: it’s time to get emotional! Understanding the role of negative emotions in dynamic decision-making processes
Authors: Koporcic Nikolina , Nietola Miika , Nicholson John D. 
Published: May 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current industrial marketing and purchasing (IMP) research that has a vague positioning of the bounded rationality of an actor. By borrowing insights from other disciplines, this study aims to develop the IMP approach further by acknowledging the importance of individuals who act and make decisions on behalf of their companies.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is conceptual. By examining the IMP studies in combination with decision-making literature from behavioral economics and psychology, this paper provides a new understanding of the phenomenon in question.

Findings
This study demonstrates that individual decision-making is not as rational as has previously been thought, thus indicating the bounded rationality of the actor. After examining the most common negative emotions that influence the decision-making process, the paper presents a research agenda. It provides a series of research topics and methodological choices for future IMP research endeavors.

Research limitations/implications
As this paper is conceptual, empirical research is needed to examine the role of negative emotions in dynamic decision-making processes.

Practical implications
Managerial implications of this paper are focused on providing instructions for managers on how to deal with negative emotions in dynamic decision-making processes.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is one of the first papers that attempts to connect the IMP studies with the dynamics of decision-making by examining negative emotions in the business world.
Question your teaspoons: tea-drinking, coping and commercialisation across three planning organisations
Authors: Schoneboom Abigail , Slade Jason 
Published: May 2020

PurposeAs part of a wider ethnographic project that examines the significance of the public interest across three public and private sector UK planning organisations, this paper uses tea-drinking as a lens to understand structural forces around outsourcing and commercialisation. Reflecting across the five case studies, the analysis supports Burawoy's (2017) recent critique of Desmond's Relational Ethnography (2014). Using Perec's (1997[1973]) notion of the “infra-ordinary” as an anchor, it highlights the insight that arises from an intimate focus on mundane rituals and artefacts.Design/methodology/approachThe data were gathered through participant observation, chronicling the researchers' encounters with tea in each of the sites. A respondent-led photography exercise was successful at two sites. Up to 40 days of ethnographic fieldwork were carried out in each site.FindingsThe tea-drinking narratives, while providing an intact description of discrete case study sites, exist in conversation with each other, providing an opportunity for comparison that informs the analysis and helping us to understand the meaning-making process of the planners both in and across these contexts.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to critical planning literature (Murphy and Fox-Rogers, 2015; Raco et al., 2016), illuminating structural forces around outsourcing and commercialisation. It also generates methodological reflection on using an everyday activity to probe organisational culture and promote critical reflection on “weighty” issues across study sites.
Member and structural fragility of reinforced concrete structure under fire
Authors: Chaudhary Ranjit Kumar , Roy Tathagata , Matsagar Vasant 
Published: May 2020

Purpose
Despite recognizing the significance of risk-based frameworks in fire safety engineering, the usual approach in structural fire design is largely member/component level, wherein effect of uncertainties influencing the fire resistance of structures are not explicitly considered. In this context, a probabilistic framework is presented to investigate the vulnerability of a reinforced concrete (RC) members and structure under fire loading scenario.

Design/methodology/approach
The RC structures exposed to fire are modeled in a finite element (FE) platform incorporating material and geometric nonlinearity, in which the transient thermo-mechanical analysis is carried out by suitably incorporating the temperature variation of thermal and mechanical properties of both concrete and steel rebar. The stochasticity in the system is considered in structural resistance, thermal and fire model parameters, and the subsequent fragility curves are developed considering threshold limit state of deflection.

Findings
The fire resistance of RC structure is reported to be significantly lower in comparison to the RC members, thereby illustrating the current prescriptive design approaches based on studies of structural member behavior to be crucial from a safety and reliability point of view.

Practical implications
The framework developed for the vulnerability assessment of RC structures under fire hazard through FE analysis can be effectively used to estimate the structural fire resistance for other similar structure to enhance safety and reliability of structures under such extreme threats.

Originality/value
The paper proposes a novel methodology for vulnerability assessment of three-dimensional RC structures under fire hazard through FE analysis and provides comparison of the structural fragility with fragility developed for structural members. Moreover, the research emphasizes to assume 3D behavior of the structure rather than the approximate 2D behavior.
Contemporary architecture of Cairo (1990–2020): mutational plurality of “ISMS”, decolonialism, and cosmopolitanism
Authors: El-Ashmouni Marwa M. , Salama Ashraf M. 
Published: May 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop an analytical account on the contemporary architecture of Cairo with emphasis on the past three decades, from the early 1990s to the present. The paper critically analyses narratives of the plurality of “isms”, within architectural vocabulary and discourse, that resulted from the contextual particularities that shaped it.

Design/methodology/approach
Three lines of inquiry are envisioned as overarching aspects of architecture: the chronological, the interventional and the representational. These discussions are underpinned by the discourse of decolonialisation and cosmopolitanism, posited sequentially by Frantz Fanon in The Wretched of the Earth (1961), and Ulrich Beck in The Cosmopolitan Vision (2004). The analysis expands to interrogate these two notions as prelude for reflecting on representations of selected projects: The Smart Village (2001); the Great Egyptian Museum (2002), Al-Azhar Park (2005), American University in Cairo New Campus (2008/2009), and the New Administrative Capital (2018).

Findings
The investigation on the interventional and the representational levels via aspects of discursivity and contradictions highlights that decolonisation and cosmopolitanism are two inseparable facets in the architectural practice in Egypt’s 21st century. These indivisible notions are based on idiosyncratic core to human experience, which emerged from concurrent overturning historical and secular everyday life striving to suppress ideological supremacy.

Research limitations/implications
Further detailed examples can be developed to offer discerning elucidations relevant to both notions of cosmopolitanism and decolonialisation.

Originality/value
The paper offers novel theoretical analysis of Cairo’s most recent architecture. The reflection on the notions of decolonialisation and cosmopolitanism is a timely example of the complex cultural encounters that have shaped the Egyptian architecture, given the recent interventions by the “Modern State” that legitimised such notions.

Published: May 2020

SummaryToxin–antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic modules usually consisting of two elements—a toxin and an antitoxin. The abundance of TA systems among various bacterial strains may indicate an important evolutionary role. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can be found in a variety of niches in nature, is an opportunistic pathogen for various hosts. While P. aeruginosa strains are very versatile and diverse, only a few TA systems were characterized in this species. Here, we describe a newly characterized TA system in P. aeruginosa that is encoded within the filamentous Pf4 prophage. This system, named PfiT/PfiA, is a homologue of the ParE/YefM TA system. It is a type II TA system, in which the antitoxin is a protein that binds the toxic protein and eliminates the toxic effect. PfiT/PfiA carries several typical type II characteristics. Specifically, it constitutes two small genes expressed in a single operon, PfiT inhibits growth and PfiA eliminates this effect, PfiA binds PfiT, and PfiT expression results in elongated cells. Finally, we assigned a novel function to this TA system, where an imbalance between PfiT and PfiA, favouring the toxin, resulted in cell elongation and an increase in virion production.
Mind the channel! An affordance perspective on how digital voice channels encourage or discourage employee voice
Authors: Ellmer Markus , Reichel Astrid 
Published: May 2020

AbstractWe apply an affordance lens on qualitative data from three case organisations using a digital voice channel providing employees with the opportunity to speak up via answering periodic mini‐surveys and making comments in an anonymous mini‐forum. We find that imbrications of material and social agencies (i.e., the voice channel's features and managerial reactions to voice) in the respective organisational contexts culminate in employees perceiving the channel as either affording or constraining voice, leading to perceived voice outcomes that eventually encourage or discourage them to speak up. Whether voice is encouraged or discouraged partly results from the mere interaction between employees and the digital voice channel independent of managerial reactions. Our findings thus challenge the emphasis on managerial behaviour and reactions to voice in explaining voice behaviour and outcomes in extant literature.
An investigation of micronutrient supplementation in weaner lambs to improve growth rates in southeast Australia
Authors: Rast L , Hernández‐Jover M , Martin S , Abuelo A 
Published: May 2020

AbstractObjectiveA producer survey by questionnaire assessed supplements used in sheep and reasons for use. This was followed by field trials on eight sheep properties in SE NSW to determine the effect of commonly used commercially available supplements on growth rates of Merino and crossbred lambs.DesignOn each property, 450 lambs were selected at weaning and randomly allocated to nine groups of 50 sheep (eight treatment and a control group). Supplements were applied as per manufacturer's recommendation every 6–12 weeks. At each application, all sheep were weighed and data on general flock health and management were collected.ResultsAll but one of the survey respondents (n = 77) had used supplements in their sheep at some stage. The reasons for use were most commonly for general health and production benefits (n = 21; 26.9%) and to prevent or treat specific diseases/deficiencies (n = 7; 9.0%).The average daily weight gains (ADWG) of the lambs over the trial period varied from 0.074 kg to 0.213 kg/head/day. Statistical analysis showed that overall there was not a significant difference (P = 0.587) between ADWG among lambs that received supplements and lambs that did not.ConclusionResults of this study show that application of supplements were not linked to improved growth rates in clinically normal crossbred and Merino lambs under the trial farm conditions between weaning and 15 months of age. Effects of supplements on health and production in adult sheep and how supplement response can be best measured in sheep flocks (especially in relation to health and welfare) and linked to productivity requires further investigation.
Constructing Human Motion Manifold With Sequential Networks
Authors: Jang Deok‐Kyeong , Lee Sung‐Hee 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThis paper presents a novel recurrent neural network‐based method to construct a latent motion manifold that can represent a wide range of human motions in a long sequence. We introduce several new components to increase the spatial and temporal coverage in motion space while retaining the details of motion capture data. These include new regularization terms for the motion manifold, combination of two complementary decoders for predicting joint rotations and joint velocities and the addition of the forward kinematics layer to consider both joint rotation and position errors. In addition, we propose a set of loss terms that improve the overall quality of the motion manifold from various aspects, such as the capability of reconstructing not only the motion but also the latent manifold vector, and the naturalness of the motion through adversarial loss. These components contribute to creating compact and versatile motion manifold that allows for creating new motions by performing random sampling and algebraic operations, such as interpolation and analogy, in the latent motion manifold.
Traffic wave model based on vehicle‐infrastructure cooperative and vehicle communication data

Published: May 2020

AbstractUrban trunk road system undertakes the main traffic trip, and congestion occurs frequently in rush hours. In order to clearly describe the propagation process of traffic waves in signalized intersections, and then optimize phase difference. This article proposes a kinematic model for the traffic wave based on the physical mechanism of car‐following and the kinematic characteristics of the traffic wave propagation. The actual road traffic monitoring data was extracted from the vehicle‐infrastructure cooperative system and vehicle internal communication system. Then we obtained the values of the stop‐and‐start wave velocity. Compared with the measured data, the results showed that the calculation of the wave velocity of the traffic wave model had a relative error of up to 5% vs the measured data, confirming the validity of the model. Through the analysis of the model, we obtained the difference in the effects on traffic wave velocity of the vehicle speed and the space headway. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for coordinated control and management of urban trunk road traffic and phase difference optimization of signalized intersections. Meanwhile, the research results also provide a theoretical basis for alleviating traffic congestion during the rush hour.
Association of serum ferritin and lung function in tobacco‐naïve postmenopausal women: Analysis of population‐based nationally representative data

Published: May 2020

AbstractIntroductionFerritin regulates iron homeostasis, and is involved in the inflammation in the lung, especially in smokers; however, its associations on pulmonary function in nonsmokers remain unclear.ObjectivesThe present study aimed to evaluate the association between serum ferritin and lung function in a tobacco‐naïve postmenopausal women.MethodsIn this study, 25 534 individuals were enrolled, among who 5338 tobacco‐naïve individuals were identified; of those, 342 men and 2879 women (742 pre‐ and 2137 postmenopausal) with data of serum ferritin, lung function and covariates were included. To evaluate the association of ferritin and lung function, multivariable‐adjusted linear regression analyses was used including the factors of predicted value of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1%) and forced vital capacity (FVC%). Logistic regression analyses were used to measure the relationship between ferritin and restrictive and obstructive lung disease.ResultsIn premenopausal women, FEV1%/FVC was weakly but positively associated with serum ferritin, and after adjusting for covariates, the association was without statistical significance. No significant association between ferritin and obstructive lung disease was observed. In postmenopausal women, predicted FVC% was negatively associated with serum ferritin, and ferritin was dose‐dependently related with risk for restrictive lung disease. The odds ratio for restrictive lung disease in postmenopausal women was 2.285 at T3 and 1.560 at T2 relative to that at T1.ConclusionsHigh serum ferritin level was significantly associated with lower FVC% and increased risk of restrictive lung disease in tobacco‐naïve postmenopausal women. Further study is needed to determine the mechanism underlying the current findings.
What Factors Can Explain the Rising Spatial Disparity in Economic Activities in China?
Authors: Yang Lihong , Cheng Jinwen , Yu Linhui , Li Chenhua 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThis paper explores the impact of spatial externalities in shaping China's economic geography by establishing a theoretical framework that contains regional productivity, trade barriers and local amenities to capture spatial externalities between different regions over time. Combining provincial data on bilateral trade flows with observed information about economic geography during the period 1998–2013, we estimate the distribution and marginal contribution of each explanatory factor. Empirical results suggest that regional labor density and wage are positively related to exogenous productivity and amenities, and negatively related to trade barriers. Meanwhile, variation in the marginal contribution of exogenous productivity and amenities and trade barriers reflects the regional temporal–spatial features in China's recent marketization process. Therefore, the Chinese government should place more emphasis on absorbing advanced technologies and reducing inter‐regional market barriers to promote balanced regional development and improve the efficiency of China's spatial resource allocation.
Suspending, settling, sponsoring: the intimate chronomobilities of young Asian migrants in Australia
Authors: ROBERTSON SHANTHI 
Published: May 2020

AbstractIn this article, I develop the concept of ‘intimate chronomobilities’ to understand some of the intersections between the temporalities of intimate relationships and of migration in the lives of young and ‘middling’ transnational migrants from Asia to Australia. Drawing on in‐depth interview data, I reveal how romantic partnerships are highly significant to experiences of transnational mobility, and how such experiences take place in the context of a governance regime in Australia in which migration has become increasingly transient, transitionary and transitory, and in which sponsored partner and spouse visas can secure migration futures. The analysis explores how the lived and imagined timelines and timings of intimate partnerships play highly significant roles in defining and structuring migrants' mobilities, and reveals how intimate chronomobilities of ‘suspending, settling and sponsoring’ are understood by migrants through lived experiences of sequence, synchronicity and tempo.
A rare case of Actinomyces skin and soft tissue infection in an end‐stage kidney disease patient with a review of the literature
Authors: Hsueh Leon , Kacharam Sumanth , Shah Ankur D. 
Published: May 2020

AbstractEnd‐stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients are a commonly overlooked immunocompromised population that places them at risk for rare infections. We describe the case of a 78‐year‐old man with a history of ESKD managed with thrice weekly in‐center hemodialysis who had a prolonged episode of left elbow pain and drainage and was eventually found to have a skin and soft tissue infection from Actinomyces radingae. We review the bacteriology of Actinomyces spp. and the experiences of other providers who have treated actinomycosis in individuals with ESKD. The anatomic sites and demographics of these individuals are heterogeneous, but they all generally require a long antibiotic course with a beta‐lactam and portend to a good prognosis. High index of suspicion is needed to identify rare and atypical infections in the ESKD population.

Published: May 2020

SummaryOur objective was to verify the potential of identifying different starches in Brazilian landraces of cassava using near and medium infrared analyses. The survey was conducted on 132 landraces collected throughout the Cerrado, Pantanal and Amazon biomes, in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, including 10 commercial starches. The results are reflective of selection for different genetic variants in small isolated producers. Infrared analysis enables rapid identification of this material and is the first step in identifying starches with different properties. The results demonstrate the potential of MIR analyses for in situ evaluation, an additional option for identifying important varieties and value the development of efforts made by small producers, whose landraces have special and economically important properties.
