A “double-edged sword” effect of consumer expertise on tourism loyalty
Authors: Zhang Xiaodan , Guo Maiju 
Published: August 2021

PurposeAs globalization promotes mobility and tourism around the world, the substitution effect of outbound tourism on domestic tourism becomes increasingly apparent. Knowing how to increase customers' loyalty toward domestic tourism is an urgent and critical question for policymakers and tourism managers, especially from the perspective of customer segmentation. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether and how consumer expertise affects domestic tourism loyalty. This paper also provides comprehensive research for understanding differences between married and unmarried consumers in responses to the impact of expertise on loyalty.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on a survey of 384 individuals. We use Partial least squares (PLS), a variance-based structural equation model, and statistical comparison to test research hypotheses.FindingsResults suggest that consumer expertise has a “double-edged sword” effect on domestic tourism loyalty. On one hand, it increases the perceived benefit of domestic tourism and reduces consumers' motivation to switch to outbound tourism, resulting in a higher level of domestic tourism loyalty. On the other hand, consumer expertise improves consumers' switching ability and switching opportunity to travel abroad, leading to a lower level of domestic tourism loyalty. Furthermore, this paper documents that married and unmarried customers present heterogeneous attitudes in the decision process. We found that married customers are less sensitive to the impact of consumer expertise on the perceived benefit and the impact of consumer expertise on switch ability. However, married customers are more sensitive to both the impact of perceived usefulness on the switch motivation, and the impact of switch motivation, switch opportunity and switch ability on domestic tourism loyalty.Research limitations/implicationsOur findings enrich the literature on consumer expertise and loyalty. Future studies may consider examining similar relationships by utilizing multiple research methods as well as testing the research findings and mechanisms in different contexts.Practical implicationsThis research provides practical guidance for cultivating and maintaining domestic tourism loyalty, such as consumer segmentation in terms of tourism knowledge and information.Originality/valueThis paper examines the relationship between consumer expertise and loyalty in the context of tourism and uncovers the mechanism behind it. More importantly, to our knowledge, this paper is the first to identify consumers' marital status as a key factor that influences the process of how consumer expertise affects domestic tourism loyalty.

Published: August 2021

PurposeThis study investigated the role of brand experience dimensions (behavioral, intellectual, sensory and affective) to predict consumer loyalty (repurchase intention (RPI), word of mouth (WOM) and willingness to pay more (WPM)) through the mediating role of perceived brand authenticity (PBA) in the global branding context.Design/methodology/approachA total of 422 consumers participated in this study and provided feedback on top authentic global brands after completing a self-administered online survey. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to conduct the data analysis.FindingsThis study discovered that brand experience dimensions positively influenced PBA (predominantly sensory and intellectual experiences), which significantly predicted consumer loyalty (RPI, WOM and WPM).Research limitations/implicationsThis research uncovered some limitations that can be used to investigate new research possibilities. From a theoretical standpoint, this study offers new insights into brand experience dimensions (BEDs), PBA and consumer loyalty in order to develop consumer-brand relationships.Practical implicationsThis study offered several managerial recommendations. By considering brand authenticity as a positioning tool, global managers can effectively develop and implement various experiential marketing strategies to develop long-term relationships with consumers to attain their loyalty.Originality/valueThis is a new study that uses Fournier's relationship theory to investigate BEDs on PBA to predict consumer loyalty in the context of authentic global brands.
Revising the trait‐based filtering framework to include interacting filters: Lessons from grassland restoration
Authors: Funk Jennifer L. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract

A trait‐based framework of community assembly holds great promise for directing ecological restoration, both for selecting species with desirable traits and for manipulating community factors to enhance plant establishment and persistence. Dispersal, abiotic and biotic factors ‘filter’ species into local communities based on their traits, but interactions among these filters may complicate the use of trait‐based assembly models. In this paper, I review recent studies that apply community‐based theory to grassland restoration and propose a framework for incorporating interacting ecological filters into restoration design.

Dispersal limits restoration success in many grassland communities while others are simultaneously limited by dispersal, environmental factors and biotic interactions. Furthermore, the relative importance of ecological filters can change over space and time. Species also differentially respond to filter manipulations which suggests that trait–environment relationships should be used to generate planting recommendations based on optimal trait values for interacting filters at a given site.

Synthesis. A better understanding of how traits interact with dynamic community assembly filters will allow for site‐specific management recommendations, resulting in restored communities that are resilient to a range of filter modifications including climate change, invasion by non‐native species, and altered disturbance regimes.

SummaryMicrobial communities contribute greatly to groundwater quality, but the impacts of land‐use practices on bacteria in groundwaters and groundwater‐dependent ecosystems remain poorly known. With 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we assessed bacterial community composition at the groundwater‐surface water ecotone of boreal springs impacted by urbanization and agriculture, using spring water nitrate‐N as a surrogate of contamination. We also measured the rate of a key ecosystem process, organic matter decomposition. We documented a recurrent pattern across all major bacterial phyla where diversity started to decrease at unexpectedly low nitrate‐N concentrations (100–300 μg L−1). At 400 NO3−‐N μg L−1, 25 bacterial exact sequence variants showed a negative response, resulting in a distinct threshold in bacterial community composition.Chthonomonas,AcetobacteralesandHyphomicrobiumwere the most sensitive taxa, while only three taxa (Duganella,UndibacteriumandThermoanaerobaculaceae) were enriched due to increased contamination. Decomposition rate responded unimodally to increasing nitrate‐N concentration, with a peak rate at ~400 NO3−‐N μg L−1, parallelly with a major shift in bacterial community composition. Our results emphasize the utility of bacterial communities in the assessment of groundwater‐dependent ecosystems. They also call for a careful reconsideration of threshold nitrate values for defining groundwater ecosystem health and protecting their microbial biodiversity.
When the wheels come off: Actor‐network therapy for mental health recovery in the bicycle repair workshop
Authors: Marks Nicholas 
Published: August 2021

AbstractProfessional accounts of emotional distress originate from within mainstream mental illness discourses and are underpinned by largely conjectural biomedical, brain‐based conceptions of disorder. Alternative, formulation‐based approaches remain delimited by cultural norms and linguistic resources. Service users frequently declare the most ordinary aspects of therapy the most helpful: listening, understanding, and respectfulness; these are not contingent upon the presence of a mental health professional. This paper describes ameliorations in states of emotional distress amongst volunteer trainee mechanics in a bicycle workshop, which has little overtly to do with mental health. Possible explanations for these ameliorations, or ‘recoveries’, are presented. In an enabling setting that offers the social and material resources conducive to particular ways of being, an applied actor‐network approach is introduced as a practical way to disentangle the concomitant complexities of bicycles and everyday life. This approach to analysing states of distress—introduced here as ‘actor‐network therapy’—combines notions of enactment and enhandedness in the appreciation of ‘engrenage’ – the intriguing intricacy of locally generated, provisional realities.

AbstractThis paper empirically examines the reaction of global financial markets across 38 economies to the COVID‐19 outbreak, with special focus on the dynamics of capital flows across 14 emerging market economies. The effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policy responses to COVID‐19 is also tested. Using daily data over the period January 4, 2010 to August 31, 2020, and controlling for a host of domestic and global macroeconomic and financial factors, we use a fixed effects panel approach and a structural VAR framework to show that emerging markets have been more heavily affected than advanced economies. In particular, emerging economies in Asia and Europe have experienced the sharpest impacts on stock, bond and exchange rates due to COVID‐19, as well as abrupt and substantial capital outflows. Quantitative easing and fiscal stimulus packages mainly helped to boost stock prices, notably for advanced and emerging economies in Asia. Our findings also highlight the role that global factors and developments in the world's leading financial centers have on financial conditions in EMEs. Importantly, the impact of COVID‐19 related quantitative easing measures by central banks in advanced countries extended to EMEs, with significant positive spillovers to EME stock markets in Asia, Europe and Latin America. Going forward, while the ultimate resolution of COVID‐19 may be expected to lead to a market correction as uncertainty declines, our impulse response analysis suggests that there may be persistent effects on bond markets in emerging Europe and on EME capital flows.
Self‐protection by fact‐checking: How pandemic information seeking and verifying affect preventive behaviours
Authors: Zhao Xinyan , Tsang Stephanie J. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic has witnessed the proliferation of a plethora of (mis)information on various media platforms and inconsistent crisis instructions from different sources. People consume crisis information from multiple channels and sources to better understand the situation and fact‐check COVID‐19 information. This study elucidates how Americans determine their preventive behaviours based on their information seeking and verifying behaviours during the pandemic. Our results were based on a US nationally representative sample (N = 856), and showed that proactive preventive behaviours (e.g., washing hands frequently) were positively affected by information‐seeking through interpersonal channels, news media, and the government, whereas avoidance preventive behaviours (e.g., avoiding social gatherings) were only positively affected by information‐seeking through news media. Crisis information verifying had positive effects on all types of preventive behaviours. Crisis managers are recommended to reach out to the public using appropriate channels and sources and facilitate individual's ability and motivation in verifying pandemic information.

AbstractObjectiveTo identify strategies associated with sustained guideline adherence and high‐quality pediatric asthma care in community hospitals.Data sourcesPrimary qualitative data from clinicians in hospitals across the United States (collected December 2019–February 2021).Study designPathways for Improving Pediatric Asthma Care (PIPA) was a national quality improvement (QI) intervention. In a prior quantitative study, data from 23 community hospitals in PIPA were analyzed to identify sites with the highest and lowest performance in sustaining improvements for 2 years. In this qualitative study, we conducted semi‐structured interviews with multidisciplinary clinicians from these hospitals to identify strategies associated with sustainability.Data collection/extraction methodsWe purposefully sampled and interviewed participants involved in clinical care of children hospitalized with asthma at the identified hospitals (those with the highest/lowest sustainability performance). We transcribed and analyzed interview data using constant comparative methods.Principal findingsClinicians (n = 19) from five higher‐ and three lower‐performing hospitals participated. In higher‐performing hospitals, dedicated local champions more consistently provided reminders of evidence‐based practices and delivered ongoing education. They also modified/developed electronic health record (EHR) tools (e.g., order sets with decision support). Higher‐performing hospitals had a collaborative culture receptive to practice change and set firm expectations that evidence‐based practices would be followed without exception. In lower‐performing hospitals, participants described unique barriers, including delays in modifying the EHR and lack of automation of EHR tools (requiring clinicians to remember new EHR tasks without automated prompts). Barriers to sustainability for all hospitals included challenges with quality monitoring, decreasing focus of local champions over time, and ongoing difficulties developing consensus around evidence‐based practices.ConclusionsTo better ensure sustained high‐quality care for children with asthma and greater returns on QI investments, QI leaders should prioritize: designating long‐term local champions to continue reminders and educational efforts and developing electronic order sets to provide ongoing decision support.
Returns to Scale in Residential Construction: The Marginal Impact of Building Height
Authors: Eriksen Michael D. , Orlando Anthony W. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractWe estimate the marginal cost and break‐even rent of developing multifamily apartment buildings in the 50 largest cities in the United States using a novel data set of required construction inputs of standardized assemblies. We find nonlinearities in the marginal cost curve at the fourth and eighth stories that directly impact a developer's returns to scale with respect to height. This curve allows us to identify a developer's maximum willingness to pay for land for each building height, which we then compare to existing single‐family land prices to determine whether new multifamily development will occur. The analysis concludes by simulating the impact of height regulations on break‐even rents of new supply. We find that height regulation often has large, negative effects on housing affordability, with increasing magnitudes for more expensive land markets.

AbstractBlood and blood clots should be removed from the heart chambers before being weighed. The actual method in removing blood and blood clots may vary and can include manual removal with subsequent rinsing the heart in water. It is unclear whether drying the rinsed heart affects the heart weight. The objective of this article was to investigate the effects drying the rinsed dissected heart (residual rinsing water) on postmortem heart weight. The prospective study compared 44 dissected heart weights after being rinsed and after being pat dried. An average 18–20 g of residual rinsing water (4% of heart weight) was present in the dissected heart. The amount of residual rinsing water correlates positively with heart weight. The effects of drying the rinsed dissected heart were considered clinically insignificant. Although being clinically insignificant, this study highlights the lack of standardized approach in weighing the heart and the potential implications in interpreting heart weights.

Published: August 2021

AbstractGreek‐style yogurt (GSY) has gained reputation as a healthy food because of its high protein content. Vaccinium meridionale S. is a bilberry with a high content of bioactive phytochemicals, whose vaccinium meridionale pomace (VMP) represents about 20% of the fruit weight. However, this byproduct is normally discarded as waste. In this study, VMP was used as a natural colorant in GSY. Coloring before or after the fermentation process resulted in significant increase in anthocyanins, total phenolics content, antioxidant activity, conjugated linoleic acid, and sensory acceptance. These results indicate that VMP is a potential natural, eco‐friendly, and functional colorant to improve the nutritional value of GSY.Practical ApplicationVaccinium meridionale pomace is a waste product with potential to be utilized as a natural, eco‐friendly, and functional colorant to obtain value‐added Greek‐style yogurt. Besides providing bioactive compounds and natural color, this pomace improves the nutritional value, sensory acceptance, and functional properties of Greek yogurt.

AbstractWe performed gene and genome targeted SNP discovery towards the development of a genome‐wide, multispecies genotyping array for tropical pines. Pooled RNA‐seq data from shoots of seedlings from five tropical pine species was used to identify transcript‐based SNPs resulting in 1.3 million candidate Affymetrix SNP probe sets. In addition, we used a custom 40 K probe set to perform capture‐seq in pooled DNA from 81 provenances representing the natural ranges of six tropical pine species in Mexico and Central America resulting in 563 K candidate SNP probe sets. Altogether, 300 K RNA‐seq (72%) and 120 K capture‐seq (28%) derived SNP probe sets were tiled on a 420 K screening array that was used to genotype 576 trees representing the 81 provenances and commercial breeding material. Based on the screening array results, 50 K SNPs were selected for commercial SNP array production including 20 K polymorphic SNPs for P. patula, P. tecunumanii, P. oocarpa and P. caribaea, 15 K for P. greggii and P. maximinoi, 13 K for P. elliottii and 8K for P. pseudostrobus. We included 9.7 K ancestry informative SNPs that will be valuable for species and hybrid discrimination. Of the 50 K SNP markers, 25% are polymorphic in only one species, while 75% are shared by two or more species. The Pitro50K SNP chip will be useful for population genomics and molecular breeding in this group of pine species that, together with their hybrids, represent the majority of fast‐growing tropical and subtropical pine plantations globally.

AbstractIntroductionHypophosphataemia is common in critically ill patients, but neither its prevalence nor its association with outcome have been investigated specifically in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH).MethodsPatients with aSAH and at least one phosphate measurement were included from two independent cohorts; an American cohort extracted from two open‐access databases (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care‐III and eICU Collaborative Research Database v. 2.0) and a Danish cohort consisting of patients with aSAH admitted to Rigshospitalet, Denmark over a 4‐year period. In each cohort, we calculated the prevalence of mild (0.32–0.80 mmol/L) and severe (<0.32 mmol/L) hypophosphataemia and their association with in‐hospital mortality before and after propensity‐score matching.ResultsHypophosphataemia occurred in 72.4% (95% CI: 68.1–76.3) of patients in the American cohort (n = 471) and 54.9% (50.0–59.7) in the Danish cohort (n = 419). However, it was not associated with mortality in neither full (American: Mild, Odds ratio (OR) 0.99 (0.91–1.07), Severe OR 1.20 (0.95–1.51); Danish: Mild, OR 1.01 (0.95–1.08), Severe OR 1.20 (0.95–1.51)) nor propensity‐score matched cohorts (American (n = 168): Mild, OR 1.06 (0.88–1.28), Severe OR 1.46 (0.96–2.12); Danish (n = 44): Mild, OR 1.16 (0.82–1.65), Severe OR 0.45 (0.13–1.55)).ConclusionIn this retrospective study of patients with aSAH, hypophosphataemia was common.
Molecular investigation of the pine‐tree lappet moth Dendrolimus pini (L.) population in Scotland: a new arrival or an old acquaintance?

Abstract
Pine‐tree lappet moth (Dendrolimus pini L.) larvae can be serious defoliators of pine in several countries within mainland Europe. A breeding population of pine‐tree lappet moth was confirmed near Inverness, Scotland in 2009, prior to which the species had only been observed in the United Kingdom as an occasional nonbreeding migrant to southern England.
To investigate whether a geographic pattern of DNA variation exists that could elucidate whether the population is native or introduced, we analysed nuclear (ITS2) and mitochondrial (NAD and COI) sequence data from D. pini from across a broad geographic range. Additionally, microsatellite marker data were used to examine neutral genetic diversity and to look for evidence of a recent population bottleneck in the Scottish population.
ITS2 sequence analysis confirmed that the Scottish population was D. pini and identified a distinct Western European group of D. pini samples. Analysis of the mitochondrial sequences grouped the haplotypes into two main phylogenetic groups (A and B) and a well‐supported Western European sub‐group (b1). A high number of unique haplotypes were recorded, highlighting the haplotype diversity across the species range. The Scottish haplotype did not have an exact match but grouped with haplotypes from group B. The microsatellite markers highlighted low genetic diversity in the Scottish population but there was no evidence of a recent population bottleneck.
Evidence to distinguish between a native versus a recent introduction origin of the Scottish population is equivocal. Further sampling to increase haplotype coverage may help to clarify this question.
