The hybrid discourse on creative tourism: illuminating the value creation process
Authors: Chen Zhaoyu , Chen Xiaolian , Mak Barry 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to identify the nature of creative tourism and the roles of interrelated concepts especially those of creative industries in the value creation process, by analyzing the trends in existing practices.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on a thorough literature review of the multidisciplinary “creative” related research, this paper provides a conceptual insight of the value creation process in creative tourism.

Findings
A conceptual framework is provided to consolidate the value creation process of a creative economy by considering the nature of creative tourism and interrelated concepts.

Research limitations/implications
This study contributes to the literature because it provides a valid research base and insights for future research, based on a clear perspective that amalgamates essential information.

Practical implications
Creative tourism offers immense opportunities in the global context as tourists are constantly looking for new experiences and opportunities. This study provides insights for creative workforces, entrepreneurs and organizations in formulating appropriate management and marketing strategies by considering all relevant components and the roles they can play to capitalize on this opportunity.

Originality/value
Creative industries play a critical role in introducing new strategies in the service sector by enabling an upgrade of value-added activities to those that are currently offered, in a sustainable manner. However, studies so far have not taken into consideration the nature of the sector and have not attempted to clarify its relevance (for example, creativity, creative industries and creative workforces) in the value creation process. The study contributes to filling the gap from a conceptual perspective.

Published: June 2021

PurposeThe study aims to examine the military-connected firms' risk preference, specifically in the innovation intensity level context. The authors argue that firms with military-experienced top management have conservative and risk-averse behavior, influencing the innovation investment policy.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use nonfinancial Indonesian-listed firms from 2010 to 2018 amounted to 2,504 firm-year observations.FindingsThe authors document a negative relationship between military connection with both innovation activities and outputs. The additional analysis documents that risk-preferences of military-connected firms will be drastically changed when the industry has a high digital level, which confirms that risk-averse military-experienced management is less dominant with adaptation skill. The authors also identify that veterans did not need a long tenure to influence firms' innovation investment policy. Lastly, the result is robust due to various endogeneity tests employed.Originality/valueThis study further examines military-connected firms' technological innovation compared to prior studies and enriches the related literature.
Consumer expenditure when positional concerns matter
Authors: Kovács Kármen 
Published: June 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study which factors affect consumer expenditure and how, when positional concerns matter. It also investigates how consumers finance and reallocate their expenditure, and modify their consumer baskets when members of their reference groups spend more on positional goods, and they do not want to lag behind.Design/methodology/approachA literature review is presented, and then a new model is developed from a behavioural economic perspective. It describes how consumers with various risk attitudes reallocate their consumer expenditure and modify their consumer baskets when consumption externalities influence their relative consumption due to a positional game, but they want to “keep up with the Joneses”.FindingsConsumers with different risk attitudes finance and reallocate their consumption expenditures variously to sustain their relative positions. Risk-neutral, slightly and intermediately risk-seeking consumers achieve a lower utility level than others. They do not realise a utility-maximising consumer basket, as it includes a relatively low number of nonpositional goods, but this choice can be considered the best response in a positional game in order to sustain their relative position.Originality/valueThe relationship between positional and nonpositional goods is explicitly described. The model assumes that consumers can be classified based on their risk attitudes when positional concerns matter. It also describes how consumers with various risk attitudes reallocate their consumer expenditure when they want to sustain or improve their relative consumption in a positional game.

Published: June 2021

PurposeContainer throughput forecasting plays a pivotal role in strategic, tactical and operational level decision-making. The determination and analysis of the influencing factors of container throughput are observed to enhance the predicting accuracy. Therefore, for effective port planning and management, this study employs a deep learning-based method to forecast the container throughput while considering the influence of economic, environmental and social factors on throughput forecasting.Design/methodology/approachA novel multivariate container throughput forecasting method is proposed using long short-term memory network (LSTM). The external factors influencing container throughput, delineated using triple bottom line, are considered as an input to the forecasting method. The principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to reduce the redundancy of the input variables. The container throughput data of the Port of Los Angeles (PLA) is considered for empirical analysis. The forecasting accuracy of the proposed method is measured via an error matrix. The accuracy of the results is further substantiated by the Diebold-Mariano statistical test.FindingsThe result of the proposed method is benchmarked with vector autoregression (VAR), autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMAX) and LSTM. It is observed that the proposed method outperforms other counterpart methods. Though PCA was not an integral part of the forecasting process, it facilitated the prediction by means of “less data, more accuracy.”Originality/valueA novel deep learning-based forecasting method is proposed to predict container throughput using a hybridized autoregressive integrated moving average with external factors model and long short-term memory network (ARIMAX-LSTM).
Modification and validation of the travel safety attitude scale (TSAS) in international tourism: a reflective-formative approach
Authors: Wan Zhijun , Huang Shuyue , Choi Hwansuk Chris 
Published: June 2021

PurposeThis study modified, revised and validated a travel safety attitude scale (TSAS) using data collected from Canadian residents with out-of-country travel experiences.Design/methodology/approachThe authors proposed a higher component model (HCM) of TSAS, using a reflective-formative measurement model. In consultation with eight experts, a set of purified TSAS items was revised by checking wording and content. A questionnaire was administered to 531 participants using Amazon Mechanical Turk. The scale was validated with the partial least squares method of structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), and the analysis was performed using SmartPLS 3.0.FindingsThe final results suggested a five-factor solution with 27 items, with a satisfactory level of reliability and validity at the first-order (reflective) and second-order (formative) constructs. The predictive validity result showed that TSAS is negatively related to tourist risk-taking intention.Research limitations/implicationsTSAS advanced research on travel safety attitudes and demonstrated the feasibility of using PLS-SEM in examining the Type II model. Future studies can focus on replicating the study in other countries, adding more variables for predictive validity tests and examining the interrelationship with affective attitudes.Practical implicationsThe authors suggested a more proactive approach to assess tourist safety attitudes based on travel safety information (TSI), health concern (HC), vulnerability to crime (VTC), personal safety (PES) and police safety (PS), listed in descending order of importance.Originality/valueThe study results provide directions for destination marketing organizations to allocate resources to maintain a positive travel safety attitude from potential and current tourists.
The acceptance of augmented reality tour app for promoting film-induced tourism: the effect of celebrity involvement and personal innovativeness
Authors: Wu Xiaohong , Lai Ivan Ka Wai 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that influence mainland Chinese film tourists’ behavioural intention in accepting an augmented reality (AR) feature film character-related tour APP (an IfilmAR-tour-APP) based on an extension of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model.

Design/methodology/approach
Systematic sampling was used to collect data; 360 valid questionnaires were collected from mainland Chinese film tourists visiting Macau. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to analyse the data.

Findings
The findings indicated that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, celebrity involvement and personal innovativeness have a significant impact on mainland Chinese film tourists’ behavioural intention in accepting the IfilmAR-tour-APP, while facilitating conditions do not significantly affect tourists’ behavioural intention. Furthermore, the study revealed that effort expectancy, celebrity involvement and personal innovativeness positively influence performance expectancy in the use of an IfilmAR-tour-APP.

Practical implications
The findings of this study provide implications for AR tour APP developers which will help them to enhance their designs, and for the governments of tourist destinations to formulate their promotion strategies in developing niche tourism.

Originality/value
This study extended the application of UTAUT to tourism technology by introducing two personality traits in the context of AR tour APPs for film-induced tourism. This research contributes to niche tourism research by linking niche tourism and tourism technology.
Impacts of crisis emotions on negative word-of-mouth and behavioural intention: evidence from a milk crisis
Authors: Nguyen Oanh Dinh Yen , Lee Jenny (Jiyeon) , Ngo Liem Viet , Quan Tran Ha Minh 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore how emotions felt by the public during a crisis influenced consumer loyalty intention and negative word-of-mouth (WOM). Considering the context-specific nature of emotions, the existing crisis emotions were further validated in a product consumption situation. Drawing on the theories of attribution and social sharing, a conceptual model, positing that crisis-specific emotions [attribution-independent, external-attribution-dependent (EAD) and internal-attribution-dependent (IAD) emotions] influenced negative WOM through behavioural intention, was constructed and empirically tested.

Design/methodology/approach
Data was collected from 240 Vietnamese consumers by using a scenario-based survey related to a fictional milk crisis.

Findings
The study findings showed that all but one crisis emotion had negative effects on both WOM and loyalty intention. Of these emotions, EAD and IAD were the strongest predictors of negative WOM and behavioural intention, respectively. It was also found that all crisis emotions significantly affected negative WOM through behavioural intention.

Originality/value
Although some efforts have been made to identify crisis emotions, the validity of the existing scales have not been affirmed in other crises related to product consumption situations. The results of the present study, thus, made contributions by enhancing an understanding of crisis emotions and their impacts on consumer loyalty intention and WOM communications.
Cross-border e-commerce as a foreign market entry mode among SMEs: the relationship between export capabilities and performance
Authors: Cassia Fabio , Magno Francesca 
Published: June 2021

PurposeAlthough cross-border e-commerce has become increasingly popular among small and medium-sized enterprises as a foreign market entry mode, research on the determinants of its success is scarce. Drawing on the resource-based view, this study aims to examine the relationship between a firm’s information technology, international marketing and export operations capabilities and its cross-border e-commerce strategic and financial performance.Design/methodology/approachPartial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze data from a sample of Italian exporters in the food and beverage industry.FindingsThe results highlight the mixed effects of information technology, international marketing and export operations capabilities on both e-commerce strategic and financial performance. Moreover, the use of third-party e-commerce platforms reduces the effect of exporters’ information technology capabilities on their e-commerce financial performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe majority of exporters in this study had implemented cross-border e-commerce only recently; hence, longitudinal data on the success factors of e-commerce are not available.Practical implicationsWhile cross-border e-commerce may work as an accelerator of the overall export performance, export managers are urged to approach it strategically with a clear medium-term view to develop the required capabilities.Originality/valueThis study was one of the first to examine the drivers of small and medium-sized exporters’ cross-border e-commerce performance. Moreover, unlike most previous analyzes, it focused on e-commerce as a foreign market entry mode rather than a supplement to offline exporting activities.
Thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist (ONO‐8809) attenuates renal disorders caused by salt overload in stroke‐prone spontaneously hypertensive rats

Published: June 2021

AbstractEpidemiological and clinical studies have demonstrated that excessive salt intake causes severe hypertension and exacerbates organ derangement, such as in chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this study, we focused on evaluating the histological and gene expression effects in the kidneys of stroke‐prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) with a high salt intake and the thromboxane A2/ prostaglandin H2 receptor (TPR) blocker ONO‐8809. Six‐week‐old SHRSPs were divided into three groups and were fed normal chow containing 0.4% NaCl, 2.0%NaCl or 2.0%NaCl + ONO‐8809 (0.6 mg/kg p.o. daily). Histological analyses with immunohistochemistry and a gene expression assay with a DNA kidney microarray were performed after 8 weeks. The following changes were observed in SHRSPs with the high salt intake. Glomerular sclerotic changes were remarkably observed in the juxtamedullary cortex areas. The ED1, monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1), nitrotyrosine and hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF‐1α) staining areas were increased in the glomeruli and interstitial portion of the kidneys. The genes Tbxa2r (that encodes TPR), Prcp and Car7 were significantly underexpressed in the kidneys. The plasma 8‐isoprostane level was significantly elevated and was attenuated with the ONO‐8809 treatment. Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and oxidative stress exaggerated renal dysfunction in the salt‐loaded SHRSPs, and ONO‐8809 as a TPR blocker suppressed these changes. Therefore, ONO‐8809 is a candidate drug to prevent CKD in hypertensive patients when CKD is associated with a high salt intake.

AbstractPlant‐derived exosome‐like nanoparticles (PDENs) are small vesicles released by multivesicular bodies mainly to communicate between cells and regulate immunity against pathogen attack. Current studies have reported that PDENs could modulate gene expression in a cross‐kingdom fashion. Therefore, PDENs could be a potential future functional food ingredient as their cross‐kingdom communication abilities were reported to exert multiple health benefits. Macrophage and other cells have been reported to absorb PDENs in a manner regulated by the membrane lipid and protein profile and the intactness of the PDENs lipid bilayer. PDENs could be extracted from plant materials by various techniques such as ultracentrifugation, immunoaffinity, size‐based isolation, and precipitation, though each method has its pros and cons. PDENs mainly contain lipid, protein, and genetic materials, mainly micro RNAs, which could exert multiple health benefits and functionalities when consumed in sufficient amounts. However, most studies on the health functionalities of PDENs were conducted through in‐vitro and in‐vivo studies, and its potency to be used as a functional ingredient remains a question as PDENs are sensitive to storage and processing condition and requires costly extraction method. This concise review features various exosome extraction methods, contents of PDENs and their roles, the health functionalities of PDENs, and its potency as a functional food ingredient.

Published: June 2021

AbstractCeratodusis a form genus of ceratodontid lungfishes. Until now, only 14 specimens have been reported from the Mesozoic of China. Detailed measurements and characteristic comparisons based on 15 well‐preserved lungfish tooth plates ofCeratodustype, uncovered from the upper member of the Upper Jurassic Shaximiao Formation at Luojiashan, Qianfeng District, Guang'an, Sichuan Province in 2019, allow us to establish a new species,Ceratodus guanganensissp. nov., on the basis of its small swollen irregular triangular tooth plate with four low and swollen radial crests on the occlusal surface without denticles. Other specimens from the same locality can be referred toC. szechuanensisandC. youngi. This is the first discovery ofCeratodusin the Guang'an region and represents the fifthCeratodusfossil site in the Sichuan Basin. The discovery indicates that the climate was hot and arid in the Sichuan Basin during the Late Jurassic, and reveals a tectonic paleogeographic relationship between the Yangtze block in southwestern China and the Kola Basin in northern Thailand.

Published: June 2021

AbstractAimThe aim of this study was to compare OsiriX software with the previous published Medical Image Analysis Framework (MIAF) method to assess the volume of erosion in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsForty RA patients underwent high‐resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography scans of the second and third metacarpophalangeal joints, and thirty‐four patients with any bone erosion were enrolled. Two techniques were applied to erosion evaluation: (a) semi‐automated MIAF software, and (b) semi‐automated segmentation by free open‐source Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine viewer, OsiriX software. MIAF has been published before, but this is the first time that OsiriX has been used in this way in rheumatology. Bland & Altman plots described agreement between methods.ResultsForty‐eight erosions from 34 patients were analyzed. Mean age was 40.74 ± 5.32 years and mean disease duration was 10.68 ± 4.96 years. Both methods demonstrated a strong correlation regarding erosion volume (r = 0.96, P < 0.001). Median (interquartile range) of erosion volume was 12.14 (4.5–36.07) when MIAF was considered, and 11.80 (3.45–29.42) when the OsiriX tool was used (P = 0.139). MIAF and OsiriX showed good agreement when the Bland & Altman plot was performed. Evaluation by MIAF took 22.69 ± 6.71 minutes, whereas OsiriX took only 2.62 ± 1.09 minutes (P < 0.001).ConclusionThe three‐dimensional segmentation of bone erosions can be done by both MIAF and OsiriX software with good agreement. However, because OsiriX is a widespread tool and faster, its method seems to be more feasible for evaluating peripheral bone damage, especially bone erosions.

AbstractImmune checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy have been shown to exhibit remarkable efficacy for advanced non‐small‐cell lung carcinoma and are under investigation as an induction therapy. However, the significance of preoperative therapy with pembrolizumab + chemotherapy for surgically resectable non‐small‐cell lung carcinoma still remains unclear. Here, we report a case of stage IIIB non‐small‐cell lung carcinoma that underwent salvage surgery after three cycles of pembrolizumab + carboplatin + nab‐paclitaxel. Computed tomography revealed the remarkable decrease in tumor volume by 81%. A pathological examination showed that viable neoplastic cells were observed in <1% of the total tumorous lesion suggesting near pathological complete response. This case suggests that this regimen might be a good option as induction therapy for non‐small‐cell lung carcinoma.

Published: June 2021

AbstractChyle leaks are attributed to damage to the thoracic duct itself or its tributaries during surgery. Chylothorax after lung cancer surgery can occur due to damaged thoracic duct tributaries; however, little is known of the mechanism involved. A 71‐year‐old female underwent a left upper lobectomy with hilar and mediastinal lymphadenectomy for a 1.8‐cm primary squamous cell carcinoma, and developed a chylothorax a day later. Catheter lymphangiography revealed high‐flow chyle leaks from a damaged thoracic duct tributary, known as a bronchomediastinal lymph trunk, due to a lymphatic reflex from the thoracic duct. Subsequently, catheter embolization of the tributary repaired the chylothorax. The potential for persistent chylothorax after lung cancer surgery and successful lymphatic intervention should be noted.
