Customer stewardship behavior and stewardship fatigue: a conceptual framework
Authors: Singh Baljeet , Tiwari Amit Anand 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is threefold: first, to develop the concept of customer stewardship fatigue (CSF) in service marketing literature; second, to reveal three processes through which CSF arises; and third, to identify contextual resources that can accentuate or diminish the processes, thereby influencing the development of CSF in service employees.

Design/methodology/approach
This conceptual paper builds on the job-demand resource model and the conservation of resources theory to identify positive and negative contextual resources that can accentuate or diminish the translation of a frontline service employee’s (FLSEs) stewardship orientation into stewardship fatigue (SF).

Findings
The findings highlight how low perceived organizational support, low customer gratitude and high customer cynicism could create situations in which display of stewardship behaviors will be associated with SF.

Practical implications
The paper can aid practitioners to formulate strategies that can curb the development of SF among FLSEs and help service organizations maintain healthy relationships with customers.

Originality/value
The authors fill an important gap in the literature with regard to stewardship through this study. Though researchers have attempted to broaden the concept of stewardship, they have failed to explain the costs and challenges that might be associated with the frequent display of stewardship behaviors. The SF framework developed herein closes this gap, and conceptually develops an early understanding of the negative consequences of continuous engagement in stewardship behaviors.
A practical example of using theoretical sampling throughout a grounded theory study
Authors: Ligita Titan , Harvey Nichole , Wicking Kristin , Nurjannah Intansari , Francis Karen 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the practical use of theoretical sampling as a method for selecting data that provide a richer and deeper understanding of the phenomenon being investigated.

Design/methodology/approach
Theoretical sampling is a well-known method in grounded theory studies to seek additional data based on concepts developed from initial data analysis. This method involves following where the data have led to expand and refine the evolving theory during the analytical process. However, there is a dearth of information detailing the practical steps needed to undertake theoretical sampling.

Findings
The authors used the theoretical sampling method in their study in four ways: asking additional interview questions and/or widening the scope of existing interview questions; recruiting participants with additional diversity of attributes within the same group; and adding a new group of participants and expanding research settings.

Originality/value
Theoretical sampling is a valuable and practical method for the purpose of addressing gaps in the data in qualitative research. When using theoretical sampling, it is essential to consider potential strategies for countering challenges that may arise. Practical recommendations are offered on the use of theoretical sampling during data analysis, for the purpose of achieving theoretical integration.
Do banking sector concentration, banking sector development and equity market development influence firms’ financial flexibility? Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Mahmood Yasin , Ahmad Maqsood , Rizwan Faisal , Rashid Abdul 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of banking sector concentration, banking sector development and equity market development in corporate financial flexibility (FF).

Design/methodology/approach
The study used annual data for the period from 1991 to 2014 to examine the relationship between banking sector concentration, banking sector development, equity market development and corporate FF; hypotheses were tested using an unbalanced panel logistic regression model.

Findings
The paper provides empirical insights into the relationships between macroeconomic factors and corporate FF. The results suggest a substantial change in FF across firms; banking sector concentration discourages firms from borrowing, leading to the reduction of corporate borrowing, consequently an increase in FF can be observed. Banking sector development facilitates debt financing, hence reducing FF. Equity market development also has a positive impact on FF, as it is a substitute for debt financing.

Practical implications
The banking sector is an important provider of capital to business entities. A concentrated banking system discourages the provision of capital to firms; hence regulators have to take appropriate measures to resolve the problem of a reduced supply of capital. Banking sector development facilitates the provision of capital; further development may reduce bank lending rates to firms. Equity market development positively affects FF; hence, firm managers can use equity financing to resume FF. By following pecking order theory, managers use internal sources to finance value-maximizing investment projects, debt and issue shares as the last choice to get financing. When borrowing capacity is depleted, managers can obtain further funds by issuing stocks.

Originality/value
FF is an emergent area of research in advanced countries, while in developing economies, it is in the initial stages. Little work is available in this area to find the impact of banking sector concentration, banking sector development and equity market development, therefore, this study fills this gap in the existing literature.
Segmentation of Indian shoppers in the context of organic foods
Authors: Sadiq Muhammad Ahsan , Rajeswari Balasundaram , Ansari Lubna 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
The purpose of the paper is to segment and profile the Indian shoppers in the context of organic foods in India. It proposes to use a healthy lifestyle (HL) as a segmenting variable and to use a factor-cluster analysis approach to achieve the same. The current study is expected to add a substantial base to the segmentation literature in marketing.

Design/methodology/approach
Food stores in Indian metropolitan city Chennai are sampled, and data is collected in the form of a mall intercept survey method. In total, 441 usable structured questionnaires are filled by the respondents which are subjected to suitable statistical analysis.

Findings
Three significantly different consumer segments emerged from the given sample of respondents, which shows uniqueness concerning consumer’s, HL features, demographics and the variables of the theory of planned behavior (TPB).

Research limitations/implications
Clustering method used to segment the potential shoppers of organic foods is an exploratory technique only. It cannot be treated or generalized to the population like those of inferential techniques. The researcher suggested testing the same with a larger sample size and in a different context. It is limited to urban and suburban facets of the metropolitan city in India.

Originality/value
The study will be helpful to marketers and decision makers to target the potential organic foods consumers.
Late‐onset interstitial nephritis in a patient with drug‐induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms
Authors: Higashi Yuko , Baba Naoko , Yoshimine Haruhito , Sakaguchi Ikuyo , Kanekura Takuro 
Published: December 2019

AbstractDrug‐induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), also referred to as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), is a severe hypersensitivity drug reaction affecting the skin and multiple internal organ systems. We report a 47‐year‐old man with DIHS/DRESS and comorbidities (fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus, valsartan‐induced photosensitivity, vitiligo and acute interstitial nephritis). Although acute interstitial nephritis usually appears in the early phase, his is a rare case of acute interstitial nephritis more than 2 years after the onset of DIHS/DRESS.

Published: December 2019

BackgroundWe correlated the tumor proportion score (TPS) of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD‐L1, SP263 or 22C3) expression with the disease control rate (DCR, partial remission and stable disease), and progression free survival (PFS) after nivolumab or pembrolizumab treatment.MethodsA total of 70 case records (55 males, 15 females) of patients with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC, 46 adenocarcinoma, 22 squamous cell carcinoma, and two others) were reviewed. The PD‐L1 expressions were divided into High (SP263 ≥ 30%, 22C3 ≥ 80%) and Low groups (SP263 < 30%, 22C3 < 80%). In the combined analysis, the PD‐L1 group was defined as High if either of the two stains was classified as High and defined as Low if both stains were classified as Low.ResultsAmong the patients treated with nivolumab (n = 37), the SP263 High group showed higher DCR compared to the SP263 Low group (52.6% vs. 11.1%, P = 0.024). In patients treated with pembrolizumab (n = 33), no significant difference in DCR and PFS according to PD‐L1 expression was observed. In the combined analysis (n = 36), patients in the PD‐L1 High group showed significantly higher DCRs than those in the PD‐L1 Low group (56.1% vs. 24.1%, P = 0.028). PFS was significantly longer in the PD‐L1 High group than in the Low group (medians 4.1 vs. 1.6 months, respectively, P = 0.04).ConclusionA high expression level of PD‐L1 was correlated with a significantly higher DCR and longer PFS in NSCLC patients treated with nivolumab or pembrolizumab.

Published: December 2019

AbstractBackgroundMultiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) is one kind of severe asthenozoospermia, which is caused by dysplastic development of sperm flagella. In our study, we sought to investigate the novel gene mutations leading to severe asthenozoospermia and MMAF.Methods and MaterialsThe patient's spermatozoa were tested by Papanicolaou staining and transmission electron microscopy. Whole exome sequencing was performed on the patient with severe asthenozoospermia and MMAF. Sanger sequencing verified the mutations in the family. The expression of DNAH17 was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot.ResultsSpermatozoa sample from the patient showed severe asthenozoospermia and MMAF. We detected biallelic mutations (c.C4445T, p.A1482V and c.C6857T, and p.S2286L) in DNAH17 (MIM:610063). The protein expression of DNAH17 was almost undetectable in spermatozoa from the patient with the biallelic mutations.ConclusionThese results demonstrated that DNAH17 may be involved in severe asthenozoospermia and MMAF.

Published: December 2019

AbstractBackgroundHealth equity is a fundamental right afforded to all regardless of ethnicity. However, in New Zealand (NZ), health inequities are most compelling for Indigenous Māori who experience inadequate access to services, poorer quality of care and poor health outcomes as a result. Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for weight loss and remission of obesity‐related disease where all other interventions have been exhausted. This Kaupapa Māori qualitative study presents Māori perspectives of bariatric surgery from the largest public bariatric centre in NZ and offers solutions for enhancing bariatric service responsiveness to Māori.MethodsThis qualitative study was informed by Kaupapa Māori methodology and involved a general inductive thematic analysis of 31 semi‐structured interviews with Māori patients who had bariatric surgery at Counties Manukau Health in South Auckland, NZ.ResultsFour key themes were identified following analysis: (i) Kaupapa Māori standards of health; (ii) bariatric mentors; (iii) bariatric psychologists; and (iv) community‐integrated support. These themes offer four tangible solutions for optimizing bariatric pathways for Māori from the perspectives of Māori bariatric patients.ConclusionKaupapa Māori, community‐centred and greater non‐surgeon aspects of bariatric supportive mechanisms comprise key areas of opportunity for public bariatric pathways in NZ. Surgical leadership is required to advance health equity and service responsiveness to Māori.
Last Glacial Maximum glacier modelling in the Quemuqu Valley, southern Tibetan Plateau, and its climatic implications

A well‐preserved Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) moraine set in the Quemuqu Valley on the eastern slope of the Qiongmu Gangri Peak offers great potential for reconstructing LGM glacier extent and examining LGM climate in the region. This study employed a coupled and physics‐based mass balance and ice‐flow model to investigate glacier sensitivities to climate in the valley. Based on the sensitivity tests and the well‐preserved LGM moraines, the study also reconstructed the LGM glacier extent in the valley and assessed the magnitude of cooling for the LGM period. Model results suggest that the Quemuqu Valley sustained an ice volume of 6.80±0.16 km3 in the LGM period. Temperature depression of 3.1–4.3 °C, combined with 30–70% modern precipitation, is likely to have supported the LGM glacier extent in the valley. The temperature inference for the LGM period is comparable with other independent palaeoclimate evidence in the region. However, there is a large difference in the reconstructed glacier volume (ice thickness) between previous research and the current study. The glacier model used here directly calculates the ice thickness and needs relatively less field evidence to constrain the model simulations. It is therefore advocated to use such a model to reconstruct past glaciers and their corresponding climates for other valleys of the Tibetan Plateau.

AbstractIdentifying the environmental factors controlling litter decomposition is key to understanding the magnitude and rates of nutrient cycling in tropical forests, and how they may be influenced by climate variability and environmental change. We carried out a leaf litter translocation experiment in mature rain forest over a 2,520 m altitudinal gradient in Costa Rica. Leaf litter decomposition rates (k) of ten tree species, two dominant species from each ecosystem, plus two standard species, were calculated over 540 days in four life zones.kwas lowest in montane with 0.83 per year and lower montane forests with 2.21 per year.kdid not differ between lowland and premontane forests at 3.12 per year, in spite of the 3℃ difference of mean annual temperature between these life zones.kvaried fourfold among species. Species decomposition rates ranked as follows, and were predictably related to leaf economic spectrum traits of the species:Acalypha communis(standard, fast decomposer)»Hyeronima oblonga > Alchornea latifolia,Quercus bumelioides,Jarava ichu(standard, slow decomposer)>Minquartia guianensis > Magnolia sororum > Vochysia allenii > Pourouma bicolor,Carapa guianensis.These two slowest‐decomposing species were native premontane and lowland forest dominants, respectively, with tough, low‐nutrient leaves. The ranking of species bykvaried very little among life zones suggesting that decomposer organisms in very different ecosystems and environments react in similar ways to the litter quality in general. We conclude that whilekdecreases with temperature in rain forests on tropical mountains, bioclimatic zones defined as premontane may be “functionally lowland.” The effects of species identity on decomposition rates on tropical mountains are consistent and independent of environment for both standard and native species. Under climate change on these mountains, if moisture regimes do not change, decomposition rates will increase due to rising temperatures. Soil carbon storage may therefore decrease. Changes in the altitudinal distributions of currently dominant species will also affect this critically important biogeochemical process.
Monarch butterflies reared under autumn‐like conditions have more efficient flight and lower post‐flight metabolism
Authors: Schroeder Hayley , Majewska Ania , Altizer Sonia 
Published: December 2019

1. Many migratory animals undergo physiological and behavioural changes to prepare for and sustain long‐distance movements. Because insect migrations are common and diverse, studies that examine how migratory insects meet the energetic demands of long‐distance movements are badly needed.2. Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) migrate up to 4000 km annually from eastern North America to wintering sites in central Mexico. Autumn generation monarchs undergo physiological and behavioural changes in response to environmental cues to initiate migration. In particular, exposure to cooler temperatures and shorter day lengths in early autumn causes monarchs to enter the hormonally induced state of reproductive diapause.3. This study examined differences in flight‐associated metabolic rate (MR) and flight performance metrics for monarchs experimentally reared under autumn‐like conditions (typically experienced before the southward migration) relative to monarchs reared under summer‐like conditions.4. Adult monarchs reared under autumn‐like conditions showed lower post‐flight MRs, greater flight efficiency, and lower measures of reproductive activity relative to monarchs reared under summer‐like conditions. Increases in post‐flight metabolism were associated with monarch body weight, age, and flight velocity.5. These findings suggest that a trans‐generational shift in flight energetics is an important component of the monarch's complex migratory syndrome, and that physiological changes that accompany reproductive diapause facilitate energy conservation during flight.
Interfaith Dialogue
Authors: Ariarajah S. Wesley 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThe modern ecumenical movement initially sprang from the missionary movement. This led to considerable struggle within the ecumenical movement over embracing interfaith dialogue as a main focus of its ministry. This focus was eventually accepted, and since then the ecumenical movement has done much to promote interfaith relations at the local, national, and global level; to struggle with the theological issues such dialogue presents for the Christian faith; and to collaborate with other religions to reflect on common issues faced by the global community. Current Dialogue has played a major role in promoting the dialogue concern.

Published: December 2019

AbstractBackgroundInfective endocarditis (IE) results in substantial morbidity and mortality in people who inject drugs (PWID).AimsTo describe the burden of IE and its outcomes in PWID.MethodsRetrospective cohort study of adults admitted to a tertiary referral centre in Melbourne, Australia, with IE due to injection drug use from 1997 to 2015.ResultsNinety‐seven PWID with 127 episodes of IE were identified with a median acute inpatient stay of 37 days (1–84). Admission to an intensive care unit was required in 67/127 (53%) episodes. Twenty‐seven percent (34/127) of episodes occurred in patients with a previous episode of endocarditis. One third (43/127, 34%) of episodes involved left‐sided cardiac valves. Antimicrobial treatment was completed in 88 (70%) episodes. Valve surgery was performed in 25/127 (20%) episodes. Predictors of surgery in univariable analysis were left‐sided cardiac involvement (risk ratio (RR) 6.0), severe valvular regurgitation (RR 2.6) and cardiac failure (RR 2.2) (all P < 0.005). Twenty (16%) episodes resulted in death. Predictors of mortality on univariable analysis were left‐sided cardiac involvement (RR 6.4), and not completing treatment (RR 0.12; both P < 0.001). The average estimated cost per episode was AU$74 168.ConclusionsIE causes a considerable burden of disease in PWID, with significant healthcare utilisation and cost. Surgery and death are not infrequent complications. In addition to ensuring completion of antimicrobial therapy, strategies such as opioid maintenance programmes may be useful in improving health outcomes for PWID.
Factors affecting nurses' job satisfaction in rural and urban acute care settings: A PRISMA systematic review

Published: December 2019

AbstractAimsThis review aimed to systematically assess the findings of primary studies to identify the factors associated with nurse job satisfaction in rural and urban contexts while analysing the findings according to Herzberg's theory.BackgroundWhile there is evidence linking several factors to nurses' job satisfaction, gaps still exist in understanding the differences between factors affecting job satisfaction for nurses working in rural and urban settings. DesignSystematic review with narrative summary.Data sourcesSix databases were used to identify original studies that discuss the factors associated with the nurse's job satisfaction between 1998–2018.Review methodsTwo authors independently reviewed each study using the Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal checklists. We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses statement to report and examine the study biases systematically.ResultsA total of 38 studies were selected for this review. Physical working environment and authority and freedom were the most frequently reported factors associated with nurses’ job satisfaction. Several extrinsic, intrinsic, personal, and community factors were also found to be associated with nurses’ job satisfaction. Urban studies tended to focus on extrinsic factors, whereas there was more balance between the two sets of factors in rural studies.ConclusionBoth intrinsic and extrinsic factors play an essential role in nurses’ job satisfaction. Future research should use more robust research methods and pay more attention to contrasting rural and urban contexts. Herzberg's theory can provide conceptual clarity when investigating the factors associated with nurses’ job satisfaction.ImpactThis review discussed the factors associated with nurses’ job satisfaction in rural and urban settings. The findings linked several extrinsic and intrinsic factors to nurses’ job satisfaction. Nursing management should search for the perfect blend of intrinsic and extrinsic factors based on nurses’ needs and organizational commitment to improve nurses’ job satisfaction.
