Authors: Nusair Khaldoon , Alazri Hamed , Alfarhan Usamah F. , Al-Muharrami Saeed 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to international tourism market segmentation research by proposing a comprehensive framework that examines behavioral, benefits and lifestyle segmentations. The moderating roles of geographic segmentation (nationality) and advertising media types are also discussed.

Design/methodology/approach
Tourists volunteered to participate in a self-administered survey at random during peak seasons. Total number of collected questionnaires was 966. The authors used WarpPLS 6.0 software to analyze data.

Findings
Results from a sample of 919 tourists show that tourists in the benefit segmentation cluster had intentions to revisit the destination but they were unlikely to recommend it to others. Another finding indicates that marketing campaigns on different advertising media types might have different results when targeting different activities.

Originality/value
Leaning on the foundations of the marketing literature and the market segmentation theory, this research attempts to create a theoretical contribution that can be used to segment international tourists based on their travel motivations. Additionally, this study highlights the power of conditional probability approach, as it could be of more value than the predominant path coefficient approach.
Verification of a measurement of international managers’ mindset
Authors: Fatehi Kamal , Vaezi Reza 
Published: August 2021

PurposeThis paper aims to replicate and expand an earlier study that constructed a measurement of international managers’ mindset.Design/methodology/approachThe paper used a test-retest statistical analysis to determine the reliability of the index of the managerial mindset developed by Fatehi and Ghadar (2014).FindingsThe study showed that the index is a sound measurement. It has good content validity. Its reliability is excellent. Both overall measure and item by item test of reliability were sound at a 5% significant level.Originality/valueThe application of Cronbach alpha by Fatehi and Ghadar (2014) indicated that the index was reliable. However, recently some scholars have expressed their concerns about this test to determine psychological indexes’ reliability. Therefore, this replication study applied an alternative reliability test (test-rest). The test-retest application indicated the index’s soundness.

Authors: Munasinghe Prabod Dharshana , Dissanayake D.G.K. , Druckman Angela 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
The process of fashion design varies between market segments, yet these variations have not yet been properly explored. This study aims to examine the fashion design process as practised at the mass-market level, as this is the most vibrant and the largest market segment in terms of production volumes and sales.

Design/methodology/approach
It is observed that 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted with mass-market fashion designers. Key activities of the mass-market design process were identified and a comparative analysis was conducted with the general design process.

Findings
The mass-market design process is found to prioritise profits rather than aesthetic aspects, with the buyer exercising more power than the designer. This hinders creativity, which, in turn, may impede a move towards more environmentally benign designs.

Originality/value
The clothing industry is responsible for high environmental impacts and many of these impacts arise through decisions made in the design stage. In particular, the mass-market for clothing because of its high volume of sales and fast throughput, accounts for a great deal of the impact. However, little is understood about the design process that is practised in the mass-fashion market. This paper fills the gap by developing a framework that describes the mass-market design process. Understanding the design process will enable progress to be made towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

Published: August 2021

Purpose
In this paper, a lifetime estimation model for the solder joint is proposed which is capable of considering both severe and running mechanical shocks which is the real case in electric converters in the automotive and aerospace applications. This paper aims to asses the reliability of the solder joint under mixed exposure of mechanical loads.

Design/methodology/approach
Mechanical failure process may put at risk the perfect performance of any kinds of electronic systems regardless of the applications they are prepared for. Observation of solder joint health in an electronic assembly under simultaneous exposure of severe and running shocks is an open problem. Three commonly used soldering compositions are considered while the electronic assembly is exposed to three well-known driving cycles.

Findings
The results show that the best performance is achieved using SAC405 soldering alloy in comparison with Sn63Pb37 and SAC387 solder alloy. Consideration of mixed exposure to the mechanical loads leads to much more accurate lifetime estimation of the solder joint in the electronic assemblies.

Originality/value
The originality of the paper is confirmed.
The relationship between nursing groups’ organizational socialization and nurses’ perception of organizational learning subprocesses: a cross-sectional study in hospital wards

Published: August 2021

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the relationship between a nursing group’s organizational socialization (OS) and the organizational learning (OL) subprocesses of information acquisition, information distribution, information interpretation, information integration and organizational memory.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional study, with an anonymous self-report questionnaire, was conducted at two university hospitals in Japan. OL was measured using the scale for OL subprocesses, while OS was measured using the scale for learning about the external environment. The questionnaire was administered from August to October 2018. Among the 1,077 nurses recruited from 34 wards, data from 466 nurses from 24 wards were analyzed. To verify the influence of the group’s OS on each OL subprocess, two-level hierarchical linear modeling with fixed effects was performed. Individual nurses’ OS was analyzed using centering within clusters and the group’s OS was analyzed using each ward’s average OS score by performing grand mean centering.FindingsNursing groups’ OS was positively and significantly associated with information interpretation and information integration, but not with information acquisition, information distribution and organizational memory.Originality/valueThis study expands OS and OL research by focusing on the relationship between the degree of OS of an entire group and the OL subprocess. When the degree of homophily of value, rule, knowledge and behavior of the entire group increases, the information understanding and the formation of new explicit knowledge may also increase in the group.
Top management team (TMT) age diversity and firm performance: the moderating role of the effectiveness of TMT meetings
Authors: Sutarti Sutarti , Syakhroza Akhmad , Diyanty Vera , Dewo Setio Anggoro 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the direct effect of directors’ age diversity, and its interaction effect with the effectiveness of TMT meetings on bank performance.

Design/methodology/approach
Quantitative data were extracted from the bank’s annual reports for the six years 2011–2016. Age diversity was calculated using the coefficient of variation, and the bank’s performance was measured as return on assets and return on equity. The frequency of directors’ meetings was used as a proxy for the effectiveness of TMT meetings.

Findings
Based on the hierarchical regression analysis, the results do not support the hypothesis that there is a negative influence between age diversity on performance. However, the results support the hypothesis that age diversity has a positive effect on performance because of the high effectiveness of TMT meetings.

Research limitations/implications
The limitations of the study include the use of only samples of the banks registered with Bank Indonesia. The subsequent research could use cross-country bank samples. In addition, the research uses age-related diversity variables only. Therefore, further research could consider other types of diversity such as education, functional or tenure. Furthermore, this study is limited to the effectiveness of the director (TMT) meetings as the only moderating variable. Further research could improve on this by including other moderating variables.

Practical implications
The findings of this study indicate that the existence of age diversity in TMT will aid bank governance if it is accompanied by effective meetings among groups of directors of varying ages. This age composition of directors will make meetings more effective as rich information for strategic decisions will be generated from different points of view because of the wide spectrum of age categories, and hence, there will be a positive impact on bank performance.

Social implications
This study indicates that effective meetings of TMT groups of different ages will minimize the rise of “self-esteem”. Therefore, they will benefit the creation of a better quality relationship among TMT individuals. Accordingly, TMT within a company will have more opportunities to discuss in providing bright ideas for the company on how to innovate and create a new strategy to improve its performance.

Originality/value
This study, being the first to explore the effectiveness of TMT meetings to bank performance in the contexts of directors’ age diversity, contributes to the literature in this area, and especially to the body of knowledge about companies implementing a two-tier governance system.

Authors: Ghanem Marwa , Elshaer Ibrahim , Saad Samar 
Published: August 2021

PurposeThis study aims to address the absence of a thorough understanding of commitment in tourism public-private partnerships (PPP) by exploring antecedents of PPP commitment and their underpinning relationships in regard to the destination management system (DMS).Design/methodology/approachAn empirical investigation of the case of the Egyptian DMS, a PPP which was forsaken by the government partner and which subsequently failed. Qualitative and quantitative approaches are used for a comprehensive overview of the researched phenomena pertaining to external and internal stakeholders.FindingsThe results indicated that stakeholder management, relational capital, perceived benefits and stakeholder capabilities could influence intentions to commit to a tourism PPP project. Also, the latter three factors were found to mediate the relationship between stakeholder management and long-term PPP commitment. The results also shed light on the important aspects of non-contractual, interpersonal relationships between internal and external PPP stakeholders.Originality/valueThis research pioneers inquiries on the commitment of Tourism PPP/DMS projects and its possible drivers in a non-Western context. Also, this study contributes to knowledge by exploring the relationship within and between internal (partners) and external (e.g. local service providers) stakeholder groups and provided evidence on the crucial role of both on long-term PPP commitment and success. The current study has a few significant contributions to the PPP literature regarding the commitment and success of PPP in the complicated environments in which tourism PPP projects are operated. Moreover, this study offers essential information and practices for improving partner relationships with external stakeholders.
Fox Cluster determinants for iron biooxidation in the extremely thermoacidophilic Sulfolobaceae
Authors: Counts James A. , Vitko Nicholas P. , Kelly Robert M. 
Published: August 2021

SummaryWithin the extremely thermoacidophilic Sulfolobaceae, the capacity to oxidize iron varies considerably. While some species are prolific iron oxidizers (e.g. Metallosphaera sedula), other species do not oxidize iron at all (e.g. Sulfolobus acidocaldarius). Iron oxidation capacity maps to a genomic locus, referred to previously as the ‘Fox Cluster’, that encodes putative proteins that are mostly unique to the Sulfolobaceae. The role of putative proteins in the Fox Cluster has not been confirmed, but proteomic analysis here of iron‐oxidizing membranes from M. sedula indicates that FoxA2 and FoxB (both cytochrome c oxidase‐like subunits) and FoxC (CbsA/cytochrome b domain‐containing) are essential. Furthermore, comparative genomics (locus organization and gene disruptions) and transcriptomics (polarity effects and differential expression) connect these genomic determinants with disparate iron biooxidation and respiration measurements among Sulfolobaceae species. While numerous homologous proteins can be identified for FoxA in genome databases (COX‐like domains are prevalent across all domains of life), few homologues exist for FoxC or for most other Fox Cluster proteins. Phylogenetic reconstructions suggest this locus may have existed in early Sulfolobaceae, while the only other close homologues to the locus appear in the recently discovered candidate phylum Marsarchaota.
Strengthening undergraduate food science programs: Comparing industry relevance of the Institute of Food Technologists' Essential Learning Outcomes with graduate proficiency levels
Authors: Hingston Patricia A. , Bracewell Deanna D. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractFifty‐five Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs) comprise the required content for food science degrees approved by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), yet the importance of each outcome for graduate industry readiness is expected to vary. To analyze this variance, we assessed the industry relevance of IFT's recently revised (2018) ELOs and compared them to The University of British Columbia's food science graduate proficiency levels. Additionally, we investigated key learning experiences and future directions of the industry to further strengthen food science programs. Significant, positive correlations were found between industry ELO importance ratings and alumni (r = 0.229, p = 0.002) and new graduate (r = 0.476, p < 0.001) self‐reported proficiency levels. ELOs in food safety, critical thinking, and professionalism were rated by industry as most important for graduates. Beyond IFT requirements, labs, case studies, and industry exposure through site visits, Co‐op, and guest speakers were rated the most effective course learning activities. Industry respondents advised food science programs ensure a strong background in hands‐on product development, application of government regulations, and project management. As the IFT considers further ELO refinements, our study suggests that inclusion of business, sustainability, and food science‐specific computational skills could enhance graduate professional preparedness and impact. We hope this study will inform appropriate ELO weighting within food science curricula so that collectively we can best prepare graduates to address food science challenges of the future.

Published: August 2021

AbstractProfessional development for Career Technical Education (CTE) is needed to effectively implement food science curricula in secondary education courses. Providing CTE teachers with professional development training supports increased awareness of food science academic and career pathways among students. The goal of this study was to assess a food science professional development training for Mississippi CTE teachers that would increase their self‐perceived knowledge, self‐perceived ability to conduct specific food science skills, and self‐efficacy to implement food science‐based instruction.Thirty‐one teachers participated in the 2‐h professional development training that provided teachers an experiential learning opportunity to learn and apply food science concepts. Results indicated that the food science professional development training was effective at increasing teachers’ self‐perceived knowledge and ability to conduct food science skills since the average scores (five‐point Likert‐type scale, n = 28) in all statements increased (p < 0.001) post training. For example, teachers self‐perceived knowledge of the five D's of food product development at pre‐survey (M = 2.00 ± 0.94) increased (p < 0.001) after the training (M = 4.29 ± 0.60). In addition, teachers’ self‐perceived ability to employ the five D's of food product development before the training (M = 0.31 ± 0.54, three‐point scale) significantly increased (p < 0.05) post training (M = 1.72 ± 0.53). Post training, more than 77% of the teachers “agreed” or “strongly agreed” to six out of nine self‐efficacy statements which affirmed their belief to teach food science concepts. Overall, teachers were satisfied with the food science professional development training.

AbstractRed‐fleshedapples are preferredbecause of their high content of phenolics and antioxidants in peel and pulp. Herein, we evaluated the mechanisms of apple peel polyphenolic extracts (APP) and apple flesh polyphenolic extracts (AFP) from the new red‐fleshed apple in inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis on human breast cancer MDA‐MB‐231 cells. The antiproliferative activities were determined by the CCK8 assay. The expression of proteins was determined using Western blot. We found that the content of polyphenols and flavonoids in APP was significantly higher than that in AFP, and 14 main phenolic compounds in APP and AFP were quantified using UPLC–MS/MS techniques. Besides, the significant inhibition effects of APP and AFP were achieved through Akt pathway by inducing apoptosis (significantly upregulating reactive oxygen species [ROS] levels, and downregulating expression of pAkt, pBad, Bcl‐2, promoting Cytochrome c release, activating Cle‐Caspase 9, and inducing expressions of Cle‐Caspase 3 and Cle‐PARP), and inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest (increased expressions of p‐p53 and p21 and decreased expressions of PCNA and Cyclin D1). And the inhibition effect of APP was stronger than that of AFP. These results suggest that AFP and APP may be excellent sources of natural chemicals for treating triple‐negative breast cancer MDA‐MB‐231 cells.Practical ApplicationThe effects of antiproliferation of phenolic extracts from red‐fleshed apple peels and flesh on human breast cancer MDA‐MB‐231 cells were evaluated. The data may clarify the functional parts of red‐fleshed apple and provide some basis for scientific researchers and consumers to recognize and exploit red‐fleshed apple.
Optimization of incorporating κ‐Carrageenan‐based gels on improving cloud stability, physical stability, and viscosity of ready‐to‐drink mango juice
Authors: Giridharaprasad Sairagul , Ravi Dinesh Kumar , Miller Kaviya , Rajoo Baskar 
Published: August 2021

Abstractκ‐Carrageenan gels were explored for improving the stability of ready‐to‐drink (RTD) mango juice.RTD mango juice with an acidity of 0.3% and a Brix of 18° was prepared. Two gels, bi‐gel and hydrogel, were incorporated in RTD mango juice to study the effect of gel dosage, resting time, and homogenizing time on selected attributes (cloud and physical stability, and viscosity), determined using second‐order Box–Behnken design, in combination with response surface methodology. The coefficient of determination values for all models was found to be higher than 90%. The fluid behavior of RTD mango juice after the addition of gels tends to fit Herschel–Bulkley's model. The behavior of RTD mango juice's fluid was found to change from shear thickening to shear thinning after the addition of gels. For hydrogel‐based RTD mango juice, maximum cloud stability (3.012 abs), physical stability (66.49%) with minimum viscosity (4120 cP) resulted from optimized conditions of gel dosage (9 mL), resting time (1 h), and homogenizing time (33 s). For RTD mango juice, hydrogel can be preferred over bi‐gel due to its melt‐in‐your‐mouth sensation with high physical and cloud stability.Practical ApplicationReady‐to‐drink mango juice is consumed by a large number of people worldwide. However, an increase in the storage period causes coagulation of the pulp particles, resulting in undesired distinct layers of pulp and water content. In this study, κ‐Carrageenan gels were added to RTD mango juices to avoid such separation and improve cloud and physical stability. The findings from this study might serve as a roadmap for developing high‐quality, stable RTD products.
Elucidation of the low resistant starch phenotype in Phaseolus vulgaris exhibited in the yellow bean Cebo Cela
Authors: Hooper Sharon D. , Bassett Amber , Sadohara Rie , Cichy Karen A. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractDry beans(Phaseolus vulgaris) are rich in complex carbohydrates including resistant starch (RS). RS, the starch fraction that escapes digestion, typically ranges from 35% in raw beans to 4% in cooked beans. A low RS bean genotype, Cebo Cela, was identified with 96% less RS (1.5% RS) than normal raw beans. The goal of this research was to elucidate the factors responsible for this low RS phenotype. The low RS phenotype was evaluated in whole bean flour and starch in Cebo Cela (yellow), Canario (yellow), Alpena (navy) and Samurai (otebo). α‐Amylase activation was found to be a major contributor of the low RS content phenotype of the whole bean flour for Cebo Cela (–21.9% inhibition). Total starch (43.6%–40.2%), amylose (31.0%–31.5%), molecular weight and chain length distributions of amylose and amylopectin did not contribute to the low RS phenotype. Yellow bean starches were digested nearly 1.5 times (95%–94%) faster than starch granules from otebo and navy beans (65%–73%) due to lower proportions of amylopectin chains.Practical ApplicationThis study is of value to the food industry because the yellow bean, Cebo Cela, is easily hydrolyzed by α‐amylase and also has α‐amylase promotion properties. Therefore, Cebo Cela can be used as an alternate starch source for ethanol fermentation and for the production of maltodextrins and fructose/glucose syrups which are used as food thickeners and sweeteners.
