Market-oriented product development of novel sustainably sourced seafood product concepts: consumers' preferences for a different kettle of fish cake
Authors: McKenzie Elizabeth , Bogue Joe , Repar Lana 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to utilise market-oriented methodologies to determine key attributes driving consumers' preferences for novel sustainably sourced seafood concepts, derived from a species of wild-caught fish unfamiliar to consumers and to explore new product concepts for various consumer clusters.Design/methodology/approachThis study applied a mixed-method approach including five focus groups with 40 consumers and a single conjoint-based questionnaire administered to 300 seafood consumers in Ireland. The focus groups explored in-depth consumers' expectations, requirements and preferences and identified the key attributes that would influence acceptance of new seafood products. Full-profile conjoint analysis was used to model consumers' preferences for novel seafood product concepts that utilised a sustainably sourced species unfamiliar to the consumer.FindingsFocus groups revealed that the most important attributes were brand, price, format, packaging, supplementary information and accompaniment. The conjoint simulation identified three consumer clusters. Product concepts containing a sustainably sourced fish species were identified according to the preferences of each consumer cluster.Originality/valueThis research highlighted a sustainability angle in new product development and identified a competitive advantage and market potential for boarfish (Capros aper), which is an underutilised Irish fish species. It used a market-oriented approach to explore the development of novel sustainably sourced value-added seafood product concepts. The study results provide small and medium seafood companies with original and unique insights for developing novel sustainably sourced fish products that increase consumer acceptance.
How does discrimination occur in hospitality and tourism services, and what shall we do? A critical literature review
Authors: Zhou Lingxu , Liu Jingyu , Liu Deguang 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This study aims to critically review the research on the phenomenon of discrimination in hospitality and tourism services to identify the key thematic areas, scenarios, antecedents and consequences; to provide theoretical propositions for future research; and to propose practical strategies to reduce discrimination and to improve equality in the field.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper adopts the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines to collect relevant academic work on discrimination in hospitality and tourism services from 1985 to 2020 and critically reviews and analyses the studies through bibliometric analysis, content analysis and critical analysis.

Findings
The findings show that the main sources of discrimination in hospitality and tourism services include sexism, racism, ethnocentrism, lookism and ego-altruism. Discrimination-related research has temporal and geographical variations. A research map is proposed to present existing knowledge of discrimination in hospitality and tourism services, which indicates that while the impacts (at the individual, organizational and institutional levels) of discrimination in hospitality and tourism services have been thoroughly researched, the nature and characteristics of the phenomenon remain context-based and poorly conceptualized.

Practical implications
An anti-discrimination guideline for hospitality and tourism practitioners is designed to cope with and eliminate discriminatory situations. This evidence-based guideline provides useful coping strategies based on the prevent–monitor–manage principle.

Originality/value
This paper is comprehensive in its scope, methodology and wide coverage of discrimination-related research in hospitality and tourism services. It is the first attempt to review this phenomenon in the existing literature and identifies the research gaps and future research agendas.
Relational contracts and value chain governance: exporter approaches to overcoming transaction costs in Rwanda's coffee sector
Authors: Gerard Andrew , Lopez Maria Claudia , Kerr John , Bizoza Alfred R. 
Published: December 2021

Purpose In developing countries, local buyers often rely on relational contracting based on reciprocity and trust. This paper analyzes relational contracting and global value chain (GVC) governance by focusing on how domestic and foreign coffee exporters in Rwanda confront challenges.Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 25 representatives of Rwandan private, Rwandan cooperative-owned and foreign exporters, and four coffee sector stakeholders.Findings Foreign firms export most Rwandan coffee, and local exporters express concerns about their ability to compete. Rwandan exporters face challenges accessing capital, competing with foreign firms and managing high transaction costs. They use relational contracts to reduce transaction costs, and they benefit from a monopsony zoning regulation that reduces competition. Foreign exporters face regulatory challenges: a government-set coffee price and the zoning regulation. They vertically integrate to reduce costs and lock in suppliers through prefinancing.Research limitations/implications Future research should analyze differences between local and foreign exporters in other contexts to advance understanding of the different challenges faced and contracting approaches used.Originality/value Few GVC governance studies address the role of relational contracts in contexts where enforcement is costly. Considering relational contracts within GVCs can improve value chain analysis, specifically in the developing countries where many GVCs start.
A validity of environmental Kuznets curve under the role of urbanization, financial development index and foreign direct investment in Pakistan
Authors: Farooq Abdul , Anwar Ahsan , Ahad Muhammad , Shabbir Ghulam , Imran Zulfiqar Ali 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThis research aims to inspect the existence of the “environmental Kuznets curve” (EKC) in the presence of foreign direct investment (FDI), financial development (FD) and urbanization throughout 1972–2018 for Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachFor time series analysis, Phillips and Perron (PP) and Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) unit root tests are used to confirm the level of integration. For robustness, Kim and Perron (2009)’s structural break unit root test is employed, which identifies the order of integration in the presence of structural break years. Further, combined cointegration analysis is performed to confirm the existence of a long-run association between underlying variables. Furthermore, autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) analysis is employed for the robustness of the cointegration approach.FindingsThe cointegration analysis confirms the existence of a long-run association among variables. The authors find a positive and significant impact of urbanization, FD and foreign development on environmental degradation in the long run. Similarly, only FDI increases environmental degradation in the short run. In addition, the authors find an inverted U-shape relationship between economic growth and environmental quality which, further, confirms the presence of EKC in Pakistan.Originality/valueThis research contributes to applied economics in many ways: the combined effect of urbanization, FD, FDI and economic growth on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is checked simultaneously. To avoid ambiguity, this study constructs the FD index through the principal component analysis (PCA). Moreover, the role of structural breaks has been considered through the analysis. Novel Bayer-Hanck combined cointegration analysis is employed to detect the existence of long-run relationships among underlying variables.
The technology acceptance model revisited: empirical evidence from the tourism industry in Pakistan
Authors: Hasni Muhammad Junaid Shahid , Farah Maya F. , Adeel Ifraaz 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to analyze the adoption of social media platforms by tourists in Pakistan. Based on an adaptation of the technology acceptance model (TAM), this study assesses the factors that lead users to adopt these platforms.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey was administered to a convenience sample of 399 travelers who use social media in Pakistan. A Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using AMOS to evaluate convergent and discriminant validity as well as composite reliability. Structural equation modeling was applied to examine the causal relationship among all proposed constructs.

Findings
The findings reveal that the perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEoU) of a social media platform positively impact the behavioral intention of its users. The proposed constructs of compatibility, enjoyment, user expertise and e-trust all demonstrated their crucial roles in the adoption of a social media platform for tourism-related activities by enhancing the platform's PEoU and usefulness.

Originality/value
This research validates the relationship between PEoU and PU of a social media platform in the hospitality industry. Interestingly, this study has expanded TAM by validating the addition of four more constructs, (1) compatibility, (2) enjoyment, (3) e-trust, and (4) expertise, to add worth to this model regarding the understanding of social media usage in this specific industry. The findings are valuable both for managers and policymakers in the tourism sector in Pakistan, as the latter can utilize the results to entice a larger segment of social media users to the tourism industry.
Working role of women in a pandemic world: a poetic inquiry
Authors: de Gennaro Davide , Loia Francesca , Piscopo Gabriella 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of people globally, and it has exacerbated the existing gender inequalities that have affected women. The purpose of this study is to understand the perceptions of women concerning gender inequality in the workplace during the current pandemic. The goal is to give women a voice so they can explain their feelings regarding the problems they face in a pandemic world.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, four poetic inquiries were developed to investigate how the lives of working women were changed during the pandemic in Italy. Poetic methodology is a creative and aesthetic representation of qualitative research that is capable of reporting data with more fluidity and freedom.

Findings
The results suggest that the gender gap is increasing and is embodied in a series of relational and economic problems related to remote work, in difficulty in reconciling private and work life and in a series of new telematic violence against women.

Practical implications
This study offers practical implications for policymakers by suggesting the application of diversity management initiatives to remove barriers to gender equality.

Originality/value
This study, through a poetic approach, is the first to investigate women's perceptions during the pandemic related to difficulties experienced in the work sphere.

Authors: Sadighara Parisa , Pirhadi Mohadeseh , Sadighara Melina , Shavaly-Gilani Parisa , Zirak Mohammad Reza , Zeinali Tayebeh 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
Benzene contamination has been reported in some food groups. This study aims to identify high-risk foods groups to assess exposure to benzene.

Design/methodology/approach
Benzene is a hazardous volatile organic compound commonly used in the production of chemicals, detergents, paints and plastics. In addition, benzene is present in food and beverages.

Findings
Citrus juice-based beverages are usually more contaminated with benzene than other beverages. Benzene was also detected in carbonated beverages, fruit juices, pickles, lime juices, mayonnaise and salad dressing. Smoked and canned products have higher content of benzene. Aromas that are used in food contained benzene. Food packaging is one of the sources of benzene contamination of food. One of the reasons for its formation in food staff is due to the reaction of vitamin C (or similar acid) with benzoate, which is mainly used as a preservative in various foods.

Practical implications
Foods contaminated with benzene were determined. Moreover, mechanisms of its formation and some preventive measures were discussed.

Originality/value
This review determined the amount of benzene in foods, mechanism of formation and suggestion for prevention of benzene contamination in food.
Meeting technologies and recordkeeping: a preliminary study
Authors: Foscarini Fiorella , Krucker Madeleine , Golick Danyse 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to raise awareness of the benefits and drawbacks involved in using digital technologies for business meetings, and identify key concerns. The shift from in-person to virtual meetings has multiple consequences, some of which impact recordkeeping.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on research from records management, anthropology, organizational theory and computer science, this study establishes the norms of physical meeting spaces and recordkeeping and explores how these norms are challenged as meetings become virtual.

Findings
Virtual meetings allow for collaboration to work across time and space and offer multiple affordances that do not exist in on-site meetings; however, they also involve the additional barrier of technical access and reduction in user attention. Virtual meetings also enable the creation, capture and sharing of increased contextual data, and this increased documentation challenges traditional recordkeeping models. Meeting technologies are also worryingly invasive. This study shows that concerns over privacy have been dismissed in the design of virtual meeting spaces, and therefore the authors recommend their more thorough consideration.

Originality/value
Meetings are a pervasive feature of organizational life whose significance has been overlooked in the recordkeeping literature. By bringing together research about in-person and virtual meetings in a novel and necessary way, the authors started to fill a gap and hope to inspire further studies.
Towards a tourism industry turnaround: the need for a new metric of social success
Authors: Vargas-Sanchez Alfonso 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThis review highlights the need for a tourism industry turnaround combining changes in its governance and in its social success metric.Design/methodology/approachAlthough debate was ongoing before the pandemic with the sustainability approach as the main reference, the crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 has multiplied and amplified the voices calling for change in order to counteract the inertia of a return to the pre-pandemic “business as usual” scenario.FindingsThis review led to a proposal that combines a tourism governance framework and its principles, with a conceptualisation of social success and guidelines for building a metric for its measurement.Originality/valueThis resides mainly in a transition from a public–private partnerships (3Ps) model to a new scheme of public–private–people partnership (4Ps). The P for “people” represents the need for an alliance with society to contribute to the recovery and transformation that the tourism industry is currently experiencing. In this process, local communities should be empowered to play an active role in it. In the proposal elaborated, host communities are the focus of its conceptual architecture. To-date, analysis of the application of the 4Ps model to tourism is almost unexplored, despite the significant practical implications of a power re-balancing in decisions related to tourism planning and development. In addition, a social success-driven metric supported at the institutional level will contribute to redefining priorities in tourism destinations'/companies' strategies.
Societal preferences for the conservation of traditional pig breeds and their agroecosystems: Addressing preference heterogeneity and protest responses through deterministic allocation and scale‐extended models
Authors: Varela Elsa , Kallas Zein 
Published: December 2021

AbstractWe assess preferences of inhabitants of the island of Majorca (Spain) for the conservation of traditional, extensively reared Majorcan Black Pigs and the linked agroecosystem, using a choice experiment. Up to 35% of our respondents registered protest responses. We examine alternative methods of dealing with and accounting for these protests. We find that free allocated models report better information criteria estimates but may give rise to interpretation difficulties. Our preferred model in terms of performance and interpretability is a 3‐class model where protest responses are deterministically allocated to one class and random parameters are included to account for heterogeneity. Among the non‐protesting classes, we find heterogeneous preferences where 40% of the respondents are mostly concerned with management and product innovation and 24% more breed‐concerned respondents favour price increases in breed‐based products to fund improvement of the agroecosystem.
Frederick Banting's observations leading to the potential for islet neogenesis without transplantation
Authors: Levetan Claresa 
Published: December 2021

AbstractOn 31 October 1920, Sir Frederick Banting, while preparing for a medical student lecture on diabetes, a topic that he knew little about, learned how pancreatic stones resulted in the formation of new islets of Langerhans. He then scribbled down a potential research study of tying off the ducts of the pancreas and collecting the secretions to improve diabetes. These secretions became known as insulin. A century later, 60 different oral medications and 20 different insulins are available for the treatment of diabetes, yet none stimulate new islet formation. One hundred years later, after the discovery of insulin, more than a dozen research teams from around the world have demonstrated that similar studies to Banting's pancreatic ligation studies have resulted in upregulation of the REG gene. There are now more than 200 publications on the role of Reg gene proteins and shorter Reg peptides in initiating new islet formation islet from exocrine pancreatic ducts and protecting against inflammation to islets resulting in islet death. Human data through Phase 2b in both type 1 and 2 diabetes patients with diabetes for an average of 20 years have demonstrated that the use of a shorter bioactive Reg peptide can generate new endogenous insulin production, resulting in significant reductions in hemoglobin A1C and increases in stimulated C‐peptide. The observations of Frederick Banting, one century ago, may now lead to the generation of therapeutics that form new islets without the need for transplantation.
Repeat two‐stage revision for knee prosthetic joint infection results in very high failure rates
Authors: Christiner Thomas , Yates Piers , Prosser Gareth 
Published: December 2021

AbstractIntroductionTwo stage revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the gold standard for treatment and eradication of knee prosthetic joint infections (PJI), but the literature is limited on the outcomes of repeat two‐stage TKA after PJI recurrence. This study presents the outcomes of repeat two‐stage revision TKA and investigates potential factors contributing to success or failure, aiming to assist counselling and decision‐making.MethodsA retrospective study was undertaken investigating all two‐stage revision TKA performed at one institution between 2005 and 2020. Twenty cases underwent repeat two‐stage revision TKA. Patient outcomes and factors contributing to treatment success or failure were investigated. PJI was diagnosed according to MSIS criteria.ResultsOf the 20 cases, 14 were classified as failed treatment (70%) due to a failure to eradicate infection, further surgical intervention or death. In this cohort, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups regarding factors contributing to treatment success or failure. In the success group, patient reported functional outcomes were variable.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that patients undergoing a repeat two‐stage TKA have very poor outcomes. This study did not identify any factors that predicted failure. Patients need to be counselled regarding poor outcomes with repeat two‐stage TKA, and other treatment options such as early amputation or lifelong suppression should be considered.

Published: December 2021

AbstractAimTo describe causal events, perinatal risk factors and clinical characteristics in children with postneonatal cerebral palsy (PNCP).MethodsPopulation‐based registry study of Norwegian children born 1999–2013. Prevalence, causal events and clinical characteristics of PNCP were described. The occurrence of perinatal risk factors for CP was compared with the general population.ResultsAmong 1710 children with CP, 67 had PNCP (3.9%; 0.75 per 10,000 livebirths [95%CI: 0.59–0.96]). The prevalence of PNCP decreased during the study period. Leading causal events were cerebrovascular events (32.8%), head injuries/other accidents (22.4%), infections (19.4%) and hypoxic events (14.9%). Spastic hemiplegic (53.7%) or spastic quadriplegic/dyskinetic CP (31.3%) was more common in children with PNCP than non‐PNCP (42.3% and 20.1%, respectively; p < 0.001). Children with PNCP had more severe motor and associated impairments. Perinatal risk factors for CP were more common in children with PNCP than in the general population.ConclusionThe prevalence of PNCP among Norwegian children was low and decreasing. The main causes were cerebrovascular events and head injuries/other accidents. Although spastic hemiplegic CP was the dominating subtype, children with PNCP had more severe motor and associated impairments than children with non‐PNCP, as well as a higher occurrence of perinatal risk factors than in the general population.
In defence of the bioethics scoping review: Largely systematic literature reviewing with broad utility
Authors: Parsons Jordan A. , Johal Harleen Kaur 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThere is growing interest in the possible role of systematic methods of reviewing literature in bioethics. This has arisen alongside the growth of empirical bioethics and a general push towards introducing some level of rigour and reproducibility into scholarship in the field. However, there remain a range of approaches to reviewing literature utilized in bioethics, which vary significantly in their ‘systematicness’ and suitability for different purposes. In this article, we first detail a taxonomy of various existing reviews used in bioethics and how scholars have defended and critiqued them, presenting them relationally along axes of ‘systematic’ and ‘critical’. Considering the suitability of these reviews, we then explore the inherent differences between normative and empirical literature in relation to how they can be reviewed. In particular, we highlight the challenges in reviewing both normative and empirical literature in a single review. As something of an answer to these challenges, we introduce and defend the scoping review as, in many ways, a method of reviewing literature with wide‐ranging utility in bioethics. Demonstrating the many benefits of the scoping review, we then position it within the existing taxonomy of reviews, ultimately arguing that its combination of systematic and critical, inclusive of a reasonable degree of flexibility, makes it deserving of increased attention and use in bioethics.
