Religiosity as a moderator between theory of planned behavior and halal purchase intention
Authors: Memon Yusra Jamil , Azhar Sarwar M. , Haque Raheela , Bhutto Niaz Ahmed 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between subjective norms (SNs), attitude (ATT) and perceived behavioral control (PBC) in predicting intention to choose halal-labeled products. Additionally, this research is an attempt to address the moderating influence of religiosity (RG) on relationship between theory of planned behavior constructs and halal purchase intention.

Design/methodology/approach
The data were collected through a survey. To find the factors that affect purchase intentions of Pakistani consumers regarding halal purchase intention partial least squares (PLS) path modeling has been used in the study.

Findings
The results state that TBP constructs, i.e. (ATT and PBC) have significant and positive and influence over halal purchase intentions. However, SN did not have positive and significant influence over halal purchase intention. Furthermore, no moderation effect of RG could be found in this study. Findings suggest that RG has not moderated the relationship between TBP constructs and halal purchase intention.

Research limitations/implications
This study has incorporated three antecedents of TBP. However, extended theory of planned behavior can also be tested to predict influence on consumer halal purchase intentions in Pakistan. Moreover, other variables, e.g. country of origin can also be added to examine the moderation effect on TBP constructs and halal purchase intention.

Originality/value
This research identifies the rationale behind internally perceived factors that influence purchasing halal product, it further adds to an understanding of content specific (halal products) purchase intention. The practical implications include the possible approaches that managers need to address while promoting Halal labels and this will influence marketing strategies in general and communications specifically.
Does employee ownership moderate the outcomes of pay dispersion?
Authors: Weltmann Dan 
Published: November 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to answer the question: What happens to the outcomes of pay dispersion when the employees own stock in their own company?Design/methodology/approachThe data set consisted of over 20,000 employee surveys. Pay dispersion was measured with the Gini coefficient. The outcome variables were attitudes and behaviors with numerous controls. The moderation effect of employee ownership was investigated at the individual and group level using multilevel regression analysis.FindingsMost hypothesized outcomes did not yield statistically significant results. The results that were statistically significant had two patterns: first, higher pay dispersion was consistently associated with improved attitudes and behaviors; and second, employee ownership moderated the outcomes of pay dispersion for certain outcomes and job types (e.g. perceptions of company fairness among administrative support personnel, or absenteeism and production personnel). There was no evidence to support a link between pay dispersion and attitudes across job types (vertical), only within job types (horizontal).Research limitations/implicationsAll the data were self-reported in surveys. Attitudes were measured with single items rather than validated scales. The data were cross-sectional, so no causality can be inferred.Practical implicationsWhile both higher pay dispersion and employee ownership can motivate employees, the interaction between them can be negative, especially in a cooperative environment. Consideration should be given to this when designing compensation packages.Social implicationsThere was a surprisingly strong link between higher pay differentials and improved attitudes, suggesting that the opportunity for higher pay is more influential than any feelings of inequity.Originality/valueThe effect of employee ownership on the outcomes of pay dispersion has never been investigated. This should be valuable given how widely higher pay is used to attract, retain and motivate employees (leading to pay dispersion) as well as how increasingly popular employee ownership is becoming.
Social impact of Polish public libraries
Authors: Paul Magdalena 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present the methodological issues around developing a quantitative research instrument of the social impact of Polish public libraries. The results of the use of this instrument to survey users of Mazovian Province, Poland, are summarized as an example of its use.

Design/methodology/approach
The research focused on informational, educational and participatory aspects of social impact on the sidelines leaving cultural heritage issues. “Impact” and “social impact” were defined according to ISO 16439:2014. Information and documentation – methods and procedures for assessing the impact of libraries. The research instrument included questions both about the activities taken in libraries by its users and the benefits they gained. The questionnaire also contained questions which allowed to control the variables such as frequency of using libraries, socioeconomic factors and cultural practices. To describe dependencies, various statistical tests were applied. The study was conducted on the group of 1,098 users of 38 public libraries between February and June 2017.

Findings
Younger and people from smaller towns felt more benefits from using libraries. There are significant differences between types of benefits people of various age, financial status and household size experienced. People who went to libraries and other cultural institutions often experienced more benefits. The more a person performs activities in libraries, the more benefits he or she has. Some added value of particular activities is also visible.

Research limitations/implications
Despite the efforts and the size of the sample, it is not representative of the population of library users in the Mazovian Province (mainly due to the data collection method – auditory survey).

Originality/value
Studying the social impact of the libraries in Poland is still at its beginning. The presented research is, therefore, exploratory in terms of cognitive and methodological value.
Functional traits illuminate the selective impacts of different fishing gears on coral reefs

Published: November 2019

Abstract

Unsustainable fishing is a major driver of change in marine ecosystems. The ways that fishing gears target fishes with different ecological functions are unclear, particularly in complex multispecies fisheries.

Here, we examine whether artisanal fishing gears selectively target fishes with unique combinations of ecological traits (diet, body size, depth, position in water column, period of activity, schooling behaviour) in a coral reef ecosystem. We use coral reef fish landing data from 25 sites along the Kenyan coast collected over a 7‐year period.

All fishing gears targeted a wide diversity of traits, but with some differentiation among gears. Fish assemblages captured by spearguns were significantly different from the other gear types, specializing on diurnal species that feed on sessile invertivores. Nets, including gillnets and beachseines, targeted the most functional diversity. Escape slot traps targeted the least functionally diverse assemblages. Basket traps and escape slot traps targeted the most functionally similar species of all two‐gear combinations.

There were 163 functional entities (unique combinations of traits) captured in the fishery; however, 50% of the catch by each gear was from only two to six functional entities. Most of the differences in gear selectivity were due to unique and rarely targeted functional entities, that made up only a small proportion of the catch.

Synthesis and applications. Coral reef fisheries target a breadth of functional entities (unique combinations of traits), but catches are heavily skewed towards relatively few functional entities. While banning specific gears will benefit rare functional entities in the catch, effort reductions will be necessary to alleviate pressure on commonly targeted functional entities.
Effects of Bacillus Subtilis CF‐3 VOCs Combined with Heat Treatment on the Control of Monilinia fructicola in Peaches and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in Litchi Fruit

Published: November 2019

AbstractIn order to study the effect of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by Bacillus subtilis CF‐3 combined with heat treatment on Monilinia fructicola in peach and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in litchi fruit, fruits were treated with B. subtilis CF‐3 VOCs and hot air alone or in combination. The quality indexes of peach and litchi fruit after treatment and the changes in defense‐related enzymes were measured. The results showed that the B. subtilis CF‐3 VOCs combined with heat treatment could significantly reduce the rot index of peach and litchi fruit, and effectively maintain firmness and soluble solids content, as well as reduce weight loss of fruits. The combined treatment effectively enhanced the activity of peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) than either treatment alone, and enhanced the resistance of fruit to pathogenic fungi by activating disease‐resistant enzymes (phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase [PAL], chitinase [CHI], β‐1, 3‐glucanase [GLU]) activity. In this study, B. subtilis CF‐3 VOCs combined with heat treatment maintained the quality and delayed the decline of peach and litchi fruit, providing a theoretical basis for future applications.Practical ApplicationThe combination of B. subtilis CF‐3 VOCs and heat treatment reduce the extent of M. fructicola and C. gloeosporioides. The combination maintain the quality of peach and litchi better. The combination obviously improve the activity of defense‐related enzyme in fruit.
Building Trust in Crisis Management: A Study of Insolvency Practitioners and the Role of Accounting Information and Processes
Authors: Joyce Yvonne 
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACTThis paper seeks to understand how insolvency practitioners attempt to build trust with a heterogeneous creditor body during the crisis of formal insolvency and the role accounting information and processes play. Accounting information is mobilized in different ways according to how insolvency practitioners believe the information will be interpreted and valued. This paper suggests specific qualitative characteristics, accounting principles, and processes which appear to enhance trust building in a crisis context. These include perceived objectivity, comparability, cash flow accounting, “matching” of secured liabilities with secured assets, and “crisis” audit. The value ascribed by insolvency practitioners to maintaining specific creditor relationships also appears relevant to trust‐building activities. A “tit‐for‐tat” strategy emerges with secured creditors, whereby insolvency practitioners engage in demonstrable fee write‐offs, but on the implicit understanding that future, lucrative work will come their way. This study points to the importance for researchers and policymakers of understanding the “desirable” properties of accounting through informed understandings of how and why that information is mobilized and received in specific relationships between people.

AbstractAimAims were to test the effectiveness of an organizational change intervention integrating smoking cessation treatment into usual alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment, compared with usual care, on (1) 7‐day point prevalence abstinence (PPA) at 8 weeks follow‐up; (2) prolonged abstinence; (3) cigarettes smoked per day; (4) number of quit attempts; and (5) offer and use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). All outcomes were assessed at 8 weeks and 6.5 months follow‐up.DesignCluster‐randomized controlled trial, with AOD service as unit of randomization, conducted January 2015–March 2016.SettingThirty‐two eligible services (provided face‐to‐face client sessions to ≥ 50 clients/year) in Australia were randomized to control (usual care; n = 15) or intervention (n = 17) groups by an independent blinded biostatistician.ParticipantsEligible participants (≥ 16 years, current smoker) completed surveys at the service at baseline (n = 896) and telephone follow‐up surveys (conducted by blinded assessors) at 8 weeks (n = 471; 53%) and 6.5 months (n = 427; 48%).InterventionIntervention services received an intervention to establish routine screening, assessment and delivery of smoking cessation care.MeasurementsPrimary outcome was biochemically verified 7‐day PPA at 8‐week follow‐up. Secondary outcomes included verified and self‐reported prolonged abstinence, self‐reported 7‐day PPA, cigarettes/day, quit attempts and offer and use of NRT. Intention‐to‐treat analyses were performed, assuming missing participants were not abstinent.FindingsAt 8 weeks, the findings in verified 7‐day PPA between groups [2.6 versus 1.8%, odds ratio (OR) = 1.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.5–5.7, P = 0.373] were inconclusive as to whether a difference was present. Significantly lower mean cigarettes/day were reported in the intervention group compared to the usual care group at 8 weeks [incidence rate ratio (IRR) = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.8–0.95, P = 0.001] but were similar at 6.5 months (IRR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.9–1.02, P = 0.240) follow‐up. At both follow‐ups the intervention group reported higher rates of NRT use.ConclusionsIntegrating smoking cessation treatment into addiction services did not significantly improve short‐term abstinence from smoking.

AbstractAimPneumonia is the leading cause of child death after the neonatal period, resulting from late care seeking and inappropriate treatment. Diagnosis involves counting respiratory rate (RR); however, RR counting remains challenging for health workers and miscounting, and misclassification of RR is common. We evaluated the usability of a new automated RR counter, the Philips Children's Respiratory Monitor (ChARM), to Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), and its acceptability to FCHVs and caregivers in Nepal.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted in Jumla district, Nepal. About 133 FCHVs were observed between September and December 2018 when using ChARM during 517 sick child consultations, 264 after training and 253 after 2 months of routine use of ChARM. Acceptability of the ChARM was explored using semi‐structured interviews.ResultsFCHV adherence to guidelines after 2 months of using ChARM routinely was 52.8% (95% CI 46.6‐58.9). The qualitative findings suggest that ChARM is acceptable to FCHVs and caregivers; however, capacity constraints such as older age and low literacy and impacted device usability were mentioned.ConclusionFurther research on the performance, cost‐effectiveness and implementation feasibility of this device is recommended, especially among low‐literate CHWs.

AbstractThe EP4 prostanoid receptors are one of four receptor subtypes for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Therefore, EP4 may play an important role in cancer progression. However, little information is available regarding their function per se, including migration and the cellular signaling pathway of EP4 in oral cancer. First, we found that mRNA and protein expression of EP4 was abundantly expressed in human‐derived tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell lines HSC‐3 and OSC‐19. The EP4 agonist (ONO‐AE1‐437) significantly promoted cell migration in HSC‐3 cells. In contrast, knockdown of EP4 reduced cell migration. Furthermore, we confirmed that knockdown of EP4 suppressed metastasis of oral cancer cells in the lungs of mice in vivo. Therefore, we focused on the mechanism of migration/metastasis in EP4 signaling. Interestingly, EP4 agonist significantly induced intracellular Ca2+ elevation not in only oral cancer cells but also in other cells, including normal cells. Furthermore, we found that EP4 activated PI3K and induced Ca2+ influx through Orai1 without activation of store depletion and stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1). Immunoprecipitation showed that EP4 formed complexes with Orai1 and TRPC1, but not with STIM. Moreover, the EP4 agonist ONO‐AE1‐437 phosphorylated ERK and activated MMP‐2 and MMP‐9. Knockdown of Orai1 negated EP4 agonist‐induced ERK phosphorylation. Taken together, our data suggested that EP4 activated PI3K and then induced Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space through Orai1, resulting in ERK phosphorylation and promoting cell migration. Migration is regulated by EP4/PI3K/Orai1 signaling in oral cancer.

Extracurricular groups can promote healthy development, yet the literature has given limited attention to indirect associations between extracurricular involvement and mental health or to sexual and gender minority youth. Among 580 youth (Mage = 15.59, range = 10–20 years) and adult advisors in 38 Gender‐Sexuality Alliances (GSAs), multilevel structural equation models showed that greater engagement in GSAs over the school year predicted increased perceived peer validation, self‐efficacy to promote social justice, and hope (baseline adjusted). Through increased hope, greater engagement indirectly predicted reduced depressive and anxiety symptoms at the year’s end (baseline adjusted). GSAs whose members had more mental health discussions and more meetings reported reduced mental health concerns. Findings suggest how groups addressing issues of equity and justice improve members’ health.

Published: November 2019

SummaryBackgroundCholinergic urticaria (CholU) is a frequent type of chronic inducible urticaria. Symptomatic treatment with second‐generation antihistamines (sgAH) is recommended by current guidelines as first‐line therapy, but little is known about how patients with CholU are treated in real life and how they respond to treatment.AimTo assess real‐life treatment of CholU in German‐speaking countries.MethodsPatients with CholU (n = 111) took part in an online survey study that assessed their treatments and their treatment responses.ResultsVirtually all patients (97 %) had used antihistamines, 87 % of them sgAH; 23 % had also taken first‐generation antihistamines (fgAH). The proportion of patients who benefited from standard‐dosed antihistamine treatment was low (sgAH: 32 % vs. fgAH: 16 %), and side effects of sgAH and fgAH were comparable. Updosing of antihistamines had been tried by 66 patients (59 %) (most commonly [98 %, n = 65] with sgAH) and resulted in marginally better responses (sgAH: 38 % vs. fgAH: 32 %). Only very few patients had used other treatments, mostly corticosteroids (30 %) and omalizumab (5 %).ConclusionsSgAH were commonly used, but insufficient in about two thirds of CholU patients. Accordingly, improved use of third‐line and fourth‐line treatment options and development of better therapies for patients with CholU are needed.

AimTo describe and compare the socio‐demographic characteristics and community‐based participation of children with and without disabilities.MethodThis cross‐sectional study reports data on 1073 children with disabilities (663 males, 410 females) and 11 122 children without disabilities (5617 males, 5505 females) aged 10 to 12 years from the fifth sweep of the Millennium Cohort Study. χ2 was used to explore differences between the two groups. Logistic regression models were used to assess the relationships between childhood disability (dependent variable) and socio‐demographic characteristics. Logistic regression models were also used to examine the associations between childhood disability (dependent variable) and participation in community‐based activities.ResultsChildren with disabilities were more likely to be male, have psychosocial and behavioural problems, live in single‐parent households, and have a parent with a longstanding illness. Patterns of community‐based participation were similar between children with and without disabilities. However, the extent to which the two groups participated differed. Children with disabilities participated with lower frequency in unstructured physical activities (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.41; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.95–2.99), organized physical activities (adjusted OR 2.29; 95% CI: 1.83–2.86), religious gatherings (adjusted OR 2.08; 95% CI: 1.35–3.20), and getting together with friends (adjusted OR 3.31; 95% CI: 2.61–4.20).InterpretationSocio‐demographic characteristics differed between children with and without disabilities. Children with disabilities had greater restriction in participation compared to peers without disabilities. Participation promoting interventions are required to support the participation of children with disabilities in social and physical activities.What this paper adds

Patterns of community‐based participation were similar between children with and without disabilities.

Children with disabilities had lower frequency of participation in physical activities, religious gatherings, and getting together with friends.
