Customer segment transition through the customer loyalty program
Authors: Kimura Makoto 
Published: June 2021

PurposeThis study presents the applicability of a model-based approach for loyalty program forecasting using smartphone app in the digital strategy of the retail industry.Design/methodology/approachThe authors develop a dynamic model with the cyclical structure of customer segments through customer experience. They use time-series data on the number of members of the loyalty program, “Seven Mile Program” and confirm the validity of the approximate calculation of customer segment share, customer segment sales share and aggregate sales performance. The authors present three medium-term forecast scenarios after the launch of a smartphone payment service linked with the loyalty program.FindingsThe sum of the two customer segment shares for forecasting (the sum of the quasi-excellent and excellent customer ratios) is about 30% in each scenario, consistent with an essential customer loyalty (true loyalty) share obtained in the existing empirical study.Research limitations/implicationsDigital strategy in the retail industry should focus more on estimating and forecasting average amounts of customer segments and the number of aggregated customers through the digitalization on the customer side than on individual customer journeys and responses.Practical implicationsMulti-scenario evaluation through simulation of dynamic models from a systemic view can be used for decision-making in retailing digital strategies.Originality/valueThis study builds a model that integrates the cyclicality of customer segment transition through customer experiences into a loyalty matrix framework, which is a method that has previously been used in the hospitality industry.

Published: June 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore how and when ethical leadership enhances bootlegging. To achieve this purpose, the authors proposed a moderated dual-path model in this study.

Design/methodology/approach
The model was tested on two related studies. Study 1 was based on three-wave, collected data from a sample of 511 employees of Chinese companies. Data used in Study 2 was collected by survey from employees and their direct leaders of multiple departments of companies in China.

Findings
In Study 1, the authors found that moral efficacy and moral identity mediate between ethical leadership and bootlegging. Findings from Study 2 provide convergent support of moral efficacy’s and moral identity’s impact on the mediation relationship between ethical leadership and bootlegging. Moreover, the results of Study 2 further reveal that the relationship between ethical leadership and moral efficacy (or moral identity) was more significant among leader–follower with different genders.

Originality/value
This study not only enriches the literature on ethical leadership and gender (dis)similarity, but also helps managers to better understand the function of bootlegging.
Restrictor-based studies of hybrid hole-entry conical journal bearings
Authors: Khakse Prashant G. , Phalle Vikas M. 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to describe how successfully a particular restrictor delivers its best in increasing the conical journal bearing performance. The restrictors are used in the hole-entry conical journal bearing subjected to hybrid mode. Thus, the restrictors, like constant flow valve (CFV), orifice and capillary, are studied comparatively.

Design/methodology/approach
Numerical simulation for the bearing results with the three restrictors are obtained by using finite element method (FEM) under the well-known modified Reynolds equation.

Findings
When the hole-entry conical journal bearings, with the restrictor design parameter range

C¯s2 = 0.03 – 0.09, are operated, the results obtained are quite distinctive and significant. It indicates that the CFV restrictor-based conical bearing gives enhanced performance in comparison to orifice and capillary restrictors. Moreover, it suggests the performance-wise sequence of the restrictors in hybrid bearings as CFV > Orifice > Capillary.

Originality/value
The outcome of the research paper will give insight to help the bearing designer to choose the particular restrictor in hybrid conical bearing depending on the industrial need.

Monitoring and Evaluating Rainfall–Runoff Control Effects of a Low Impact Development System in Future Science Park of Beijing
Authors: Shen Hongbin , Xu Zongxue 
Published: June 2021

AbstractMonitoring and evaluating on rainfall–runoff control effects are important in low impact development (LID) practices. This is mainly done for different individual LID facility at microscales; however, some LID systems comprise multiple facilities within a large‐scale area. Here, the Future Science Park (FSP) of Beijing City was selected as the study area. The rainfall–runoff control effects of an LID system are monitored and examined, including not only the rainfall volume capture effect but also the rainfall control mode, which is influenced by the confluence relationship. The confluence relationship between an impervious surface and LID facility can be manifest as a series or as parallel systems. When rainfall is less than the water quality capture volume, rainfall control operates in event‐capture mode for a series system and in partial‐capture mode for a parallel system. A series system is more suitable for water quality improvement and peak flow reduction. The results for the FSP indicated that the rainfall volume capture effect was acceptable; the average runoff coefficient of 16 rainfall events was about 0.10. However, rainfall control operated in a partial‐capture mode. For individual rainfall events smaller than the designed rainfall, small amounts of runoff were generated mainly by the impermeable road network. In future, the impermeable roads and green belt areas alongside the roads should include a series confluence to improve rainfall–runoff control effects.

Published: June 2021

AbstractWe describe a case of an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)‐rearranged non‐small cell lung cancer with development of uterine metastasis after crizotinib and alectinib treatment. Gene analysis from the tissue of uterine metastasis revealed the presence of 1151Tins, which was considered to be a crizotinib and alectinib resistance mutation. Subsequent therapy with the third‐generation ALK inhibitor lorlatinib, but not ceritinib, showed antitumor activity for 1 year. The uterus is an uncommon site for metastasis from lung cancer, and our case indicated that serial gene analysis could provide new information about ALK inhibitor resistance.

Published: June 2021

AbstractBackground and aimsSelective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely prescribed medications for patients with anxiety/depression. These patients often have problems with substance use, but it remains unclear whether the risk of substance misuse is influenced by SSRI treatment. We aimed to determine whether SSRI treatment is associated with a decreased risk of acute substance misuse‐related outcomes.DesignCohort study following individuals through Swedish nation‐wide registers between July 2005 and December 2013 and comparing the risk of substance misuse outcomes during periods on‐ versus off‐treatment within the same individual.SettingSwedish general population.ParticipantsIndividuals with a newly dispensed prescription of SSRIs between July 2006 and December 2013 and an ICD‐10 diagnosis of anxiety/depressive disorder before the first treatment initiation. The cohort included 146 114 individuals (60.7% women).MeasurementsSubstance misuse outcomes included ICD‐10 diagnoses of acute intoxications (F10.0–F19.0), accidental poisonings by alcohol or drugs (X41–X42, X45–X46) and substance‐related criminal offenses.FindingsThe absolute rate of substance misuse increased sharply before the onset of SSRI treatment and decreased after treatment initiation. Stratified Cox regression models showed an elevated risk [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.62–1.78] of substance misuse outcomes during a 1‐month period preceding treatment initiation, compared with the reference period of more than 1 month before treatment start. The on‐treatment estimates (1–30 days, HR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.23–1.37; 31–120 days, HR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.24–1.35; and > 120 days, HR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.18–1.30 after treatment initiation] were consistently lower than the 1‐month pre‐treatment estimate, but still elevated compared with the reference period.ConclusionsFor people with anxiety/depression, the risk of substance misuse appears to be particularly elevated immediately before initiating selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) treatment, which may reflect the emergence or worsening of substance use problems concurrently with anxiety/depression. SSRI treatment appears to be associated with a lower risk of substance misuse compared with the 1‐month period preceding treatment initiation, but causality remains uncertain.

AbstractBackground and aimsAlthough poor decision‐making (DM) has been correlated with problematic cannabis use (CU), cross‐sectional designs make it difficult to determine whether poor DM represents an antecedent and/or consequence of CU. The current study measured bidirectional associations between CU and DM among adolescents over 2 years and compared these findings to those observed with episodic memory, which is consistently reported as a consequence of CU. We also measured the role of DM as a risk factor for cannabis use disorder (CUD) onset.DesignTwo‐year longitudinal study with five bi‐annual assessments.ParticipantsParticipants were 401 adolescents aged 14–17 years at baseline.SettingMiami, Florida, USA.MeasurementsCU frequency and CUDs were assessed at each time‐point through the Drug Use History Questionnaire and Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐IV, respectively. Neurocognition was assessed at odd time‐points throughout the Iowa Gambling Task, Game of Dice Task and Cups Task [decision‐making (DM)] and the Wechsler Memory Scale IV and California Verbal Learning Test II (episodic memory). We used latent growth curve modeling to examine bidirectional influences between CU and neurocognition over time. We applied discrete time survival analyses to determine whether baseline DM predicted CUD onset.FindingsGreater lifetime CU frequency was associated with poorer episodic memory at baseline (bs = −14.84, −16.44, Ps = 0.038, 0.021). Greater CU escalation predicted lesser gains in immediate episodic memory (b = −0.05, P = 0.020). Baseline DM did not predict CU escalation (b = 0.07, P = 0.421), nor did escalation in CU predict changes in DM (b = 0.02, P = 0.352). Baseline DM also did not predict CUD onset (adjusted OR = 1.01, 95% confidence interval = 0.98–1.06).ConclusionsThis study replicates findings that poorer episodic memory in adolescents appears to be a consequence of cannabis use, even among adolescents at earlier stages of use. Poor decision‐making does not appear to be either a consequence of or a risk factor for escalating cannabis use or onset of cannabis use disorder among adolescents.

AbstractBackground and AimsEstonia has one of the highest alcohol‐attributable mortality rates within the European Union. The aim of this study was to estimate the efficacy of an on‐line self‐help intervention to reduce problem drinking at the population level.DesignOn‐line open randomized controlled trial with an 8‐week intervention and an active control group (intervention n = 303, control n = 286). Assessments took place at baseline and at 6 months follow‐up.SettingOn‐ and offline channels were used for population‐based recruitment within a nation‐wide prevention campaign in Estonia.ParticipantsInclusion criteria were age ≥ 18 years, heavy drinking [Alcohol Use Disorders Identification (AUDIT) test score ≥ 8], literacy in Estonian and at least weekly access to the internet; n = 589 participants were randomized (50% male, 1% other; mean age 37.86 years; 45% with higher level of education).Intervention and comparatorThe intervention consisted of 10 modules based on principles of cognitive–behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. The active control group received access to a website with a self‐test including personalized normative feedback and information for standard alcohol treatment.MeasurementsThe primary outcome was AUDIT scores at 6 months follow‐up adjusted for baseline scores.FindingsIntention‐to‐treat analyses were applied. Missing data were addressed by using baseline observation carried forward (BOCF) and multiple imputation by chained equations (MI); 175 completed follow‐up in the intervention group and 209 in the control group. AUDIT score at follow‐up was significantly smaller in the intervention [BOCF mean = 13.91, standard deviation (SD) = 7.61, MI mean = 11.03, SD = 6.55] than control group (BOCF mean = 15.30, SD = 7.31; MI mean = 14.30, SD = 7.21), with a group difference of −1.38 [95% confidence interval (CI) = –2.58, –0.18], P = 0.02 for BOCF and −3.26 (95% CI = –2.01, –4.51), P < 0.001 for MI.ConclusionsA randomized controlled trial has found that an on‐line self‐help intervention with minimal guidance was effective at reducing problem drinking in Estonia.

AbstractThe Horsfield's treeshrew (Tupaia javanica) is one of the shrews found on the island of Java that mainly feeds on fruits and occasionally insects. This shrew has an important role in the ecosystem as it spreads plant seeds and controls insects. To this day, there is no available knowledge about the structure of Horsfield's treeshrew's tongue. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide data on the tongue structure of the Horsfield's treeshrew through two different methods. We investigated the tongue morphology and lingual papillae distribution of Tupaia javanica using 1) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for microscopic structure and 2) histology for microscopic organization. Our macroscopic results revealed that the tongue of Tupaia javanica can be divided into three parts: apex, corpus and radix. The dorsal surface of the medial corpus is the median groove extending to the radix. Observation using SEM and light microscopy (LM) showed that the apex of the tongue bears three types of papillae: scale‐like filiform, small filiform and fungiform. These are rosette filiform papillae, cornflower filiform papillae, conical papillae and fungiform papillae in the corpus. Meanwhile, the radix contains small filiform papillae, scale‐like filiform papillae, vallate papillae, conical papillae and fungiform papillae. On the lateral posterior radix, Weber's gland reacts positively to PAS reaction. Taking together, our research shows that there are variations in the papillae on the tongue surface of Horsfield's treeshrew, and the variations of these papillae are very dependent on the pattern, type of food and the function of the tongue.
A narrative review of the roles of topical permethrin and oral ivermectin in the management of infantile scabies
Authors: Lobo Yolanka , Wheller Laura 
Published: June 2021

AbstractAs standard treatments are not licensed for use in the infantile population, the treatment of scabies in this age group can be challenging. We review the relevant evidence to determine the roles of topical permethrin and oral ivermectin in the management of infantile scabies. Demographic and clinical data were collected from relevant English articles published from January 2000 to December 2020. Complete resolution was observed in 100% of infants younger than two months treated with permethrin, and 87.6% of infants aged 12 months or less and/or children weighing under 15 kg treated with ivermectin. Adverse effects from permethrin use were limited to local eczematous reactions. Adverse effects from ivermectin use included mildly elevated creatine kinase levels, eczema flare‐ups, diarrhoea, vomiting, irritability, pruritus and pustular skin reactions. Overall, both permethrin and ivermectin appear to have an acceptable safety profile in infants. Permethrin is highly effective as a first‐line therapy for scabies in infants younger than two months. Ivermectin use is recommended when authorised topical treatment has failed, in crusted scabies, in cases where compliance with topical agents may be problematic, and in infants with severely inflamed or broken skin where prescription of topical therapies would likely cause cutaneous and systemic toxicity. Additional high‐quality studies are needed to guide best practice in the management of infantile scabies.
Co‐operative enterprise anti‐cyclicality and the economic crisis: A comparative analysis of employment dynamics in Italy
Authors: Borzaga Carlo , Carini Chiara , Tortia Ermanno Celeste 
Published: June 2021

AbstractThe theoretical and empirical literature reports that worker co‐operatives protect employment better than investor‐owned firms (IOFs) do, especially during economic downturns. This paper introduces the new hypothesis that not only worker co‐operatives but all co‐operative types (e.g. worker, producer, consumer, credit) protect employment better than IOFs do because they all satisfy their members’ needs—instead of maximizing shareholder value—by delivering a stable stream of goods and services. A long‐standing pattern in needs satisfaction implies constant activity and employment. To substantiate our hypothesis theoretically, we resort to the evolutionary interpretation of the firm as a problem solver and to the literature on organizational resilience. We test the hypothesis using the data released by the Italian Institute of Statistics for all Italian enterprises in the 1996–2008 pre‐crisis and 2008–15 crisis periods. Dynamic multifactor partitioning confirms that in Italy, all typologies of co‐operatives withstood the crisis better than other business forms did and that co‐operatives were affected the least by economic cyclicality and employment loss.

Published: June 2021

Both apixaban and enoxaparin are Food and Drug Administration‐approved standard therapy for prophylaxis of deep‐vein thrombosis; however, the superiority of one over the other is still controversial. With an objective to observe efficacy and safety outcomes of apixaban and enoxaparin in patients undergoing total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty, 96 patients undergoing THA/TKA (October 2018 to August 2019) were randomly allocated into 2 groups; (n = 48) apixaban; and (n = 48) enoxaparin. Efficacy outcomes and safety outcomes were recorded at 2 and 5 weeks post‐TKA/THA. Follow‐up functional scoring was done at 6 months postoperatively. Apixaban and enoxaparin were found to be equally efficacious in preventing venous thromboembolism; however, apixaban had a better safety profile. The apixaban group had nonsignificant higher tendency for wound discharge, atrial fibrillation and transient ischaemic attack. Enoxaparin had nonsignificant greater tendency for bleeding, wound dehiscence and pulmonary complications. Apixaban is a safe alternative to conventionally used enoxaparin for chemoprophylaxis in patients undergoing THA or TKA.

ObjectivesTo examine whether the phrasing of a hospital appointment invitation influences patient preference to attend in person or by video. The study also explores patient capabilities, opportunities, and motivations to attend video consultations.DesignA randomized controlled trial followed by a cross‐sectional survey.MethodsParticipants (1,481 total, 780 females) were residents of the United Kingdom who self‐identified as being diagnosed with a chronic disease. Participants considered one of three hypothetical invitations. In one group, participants were invited to attend in person. Those in another group were invited to attend by video. These participants could either accept the invitation or request the other option. In the final ‘active choice’ group, participants were asked to choose to attend either in‐person or by video appointment. Then, all participants responded to open‐ and closed‐ended items about attending video consultations.ResultsWhen the default option was in person, 25% of participants chose video consultation, compared with 41% in the active choice group (RR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.37–1.99, p < .001) and 65% in the default video group (RR = 2.60, 95% CI: 2.20–2.96, p < .001). Closed‐ended responses suggested that younger patients and those with previous experience were more likely to prefer video consultations. Most open‐ended responses contained themes about opportunities, followed by motivations and then capabilities.ConclusionsPatients are more likely to express a preference to attend by video when video is the default option. The real‐world effectiveness of this intervention is more likely to be realized where hospitals also support patient capabilities, opportunities, and motivations.
