Revealing the impact of operational logistics service quality on omni-channel capability
Authors: Yumurtacı Hüseyinoğlu Işık Özge , Sorkun Metehan Feridun , Börühan Gülmüş 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
This paper introduces the term “omni-channel capability” and tests its validity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of logistics service quality (LSQ) on omni-channel capability.

Design/methodology/approach
An online survey was used to evaluate the new concept of “omni-channel capability” and LSQ from the consumer’s perception. A two split sample technique was used to validate omni-channel capability and test the impact of LSQ on it through structural equation modeling. Factor analysis and structural equation modeling were performed to introduce, test and validate omni-channel capability, and test the study’s hypotheses. Consumers who had previously shopped from both the online and physical stores of a particular retailer completed a self-administered survey.

Findings
The findings supported the use of the term “omni-channel capability,” which has three elements: channel consistency, cross-channel and social media. The results also revealed the positive impact of operational LSQ on omni-channel capability.

Practical implications
Taking consumer perceptions as a reference point, this study reveals major issues that retailers should focus on while pursuing an omni-channel strategy. The findings also highlight the need for retailers to ensure operational LSQ to implement an omni-channel management strategy.

Originality/value
To improve on the limited theoretical understanding and empirical grounding of omni-channel management, this study described the three elements of omni-channel capability. The impact of operational LSQ on omni-channel capability gives empirical support for the theorized hierarchy of dynamic capabilities (zero- and first-order capabilities).

Authors: Pandya Jessica Zacher , Hansuvadha Nat , Pagdilao Kathleah Allene Consul 
Published: November 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine, through an intersectional lens, how digital video composing can be an act of redistributive social justice for students with learning disabilities.Design/methodology/approachThe authors draw on two years’ worth of observation, interview, survey and digital video data to present a case study of Javier (all names are pseudonyms), a Latinx English Learner with several learning disabilities. The authors worked with him, making digital videos in a general education classroom as part of a larger design-based study. The authors describe how he made meaning in various modes, across modes, and how his intersectional identities inflected his meaning-making and were visible in his video artifacts.FindingsJavier was an able digital composer, made meaning across modes and was attentive to audience. His videos offer a portrait of a child with learning disabilities navigating his complex cultural worlds.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a single case study built to bridge multiple theoretical and disciplinary backgrounds. Javier was able to compose semiotically powerful messages with socially powerful digital tools.Originality/valueThe authors argue that the use of such tools is a chance for redistributive social justice. Children traditionally underserved by innovations in digital making should not be left out.
The future of the management of projects in the 2030s
Authors: Walker Derek , Lloyd-Walker Beverley 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore recent literature on the impact of changes in the workplace environment and projected trends through to the year 2030. This allows the authors to identify and discuss what key trends are changing the nature of project organising work. The authors aim to identify what knowledge and which skills, attributes and experiences will be most likely valued and needed in 2030.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is essentially a reflective review and is explorative in nature. The authors focus on several recent reports published in the UK and Australia that discuss the way that the future workforce will adapt and prepare for radical changes in the workplace environment. The authors focus on project organising work and the changing workplace knowledge, skills, attributes and experience (KSAE) needs of those working in project teams in 2030 and beyond. The authors draw upon existing KSAE literature including findings from a study undertaken into the KSAEs of project alliance managers working in a highly collaborative form of project delivery.

Findings
The analysis suggests that there is good and bad news about project workers prospects in 2030. The good news is that for those working in non-routine roles their work will be more interesting and rewarding than is the case for today. The bad news is that for workers in routine work roles, they will be replaced by advanced digital technology.

Research limitations/implications
Few, if any, papers published in the project organising literature speculate about what this discipline may look like or what KSAEs will be valued and needed.

Practical implications
This paper opens up a debate about how project management/project organising work will be undertaken in future and what skills and expertise will be required. It also prompts project managers to think about how they will craft their careers in 2030 in response to expected work environment demands. This will have professional and learning implications.

Social implications
The issue of the future workplace environment is highly relevant to the social context.

Originality/value
This paper is about a projected future some 12 years onward from today. It bridges a gap in any future debate about how project organising jobs may change and how they will be delivered in the 2030s.

Authors: Figueiredo Jeovan de Carvalho , Di Serio Luiz Carlos , Guilhermino Jislaine de Fátima , de Morais Wladimir Augusto César , Neto Vera Lucia 
Published: November 2018

PurposeMost research and development (R&D) activities in Brazil are performed by science and technology institutions (STIs). The purpose of this research was to determine whether environmentally sound technologies (ESTs) developed by these organizations were transferred to companies, either through cooperation during research or through mechanisms such as licensing agreements or spin-offs.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 1,939 research groups and 702 patent registers, identified from the same set of words related to ESTs, using semantic search in open-access databases, covering a period from 2005 to 2014, were examined. The two data sets (patents and research groups) were overlaid, and it was possible to associate inventors’ names with researchers’ names.FindingsThe results showed that only six patents could be related to the 1,939 identified research groups. Of the six patents, only one was the object of a licensing agreement, and no spin-off was identified.Practical implicationsThis study evidenced that it is necessary to expand the mechanisms of knowledge transfer, directed not only from STIs to companies but also in the opposite direction, given that companies recognize potential market opportunities.Originality/valueThis study shows that improvements in the Brazilian National Innovation System are necessary, as ESTs research groups demonstrated a weak association with technologies transferred to companies, with only one case of technology transfer in the form of a licensing agreement.
Intention to use flexible work arrangements
Authors: Ko Eun Jung , Kim Sang Soo 
Published: November 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate gender differences in motivations to use flexible work arrangements (FWAs) in Korea.Design/methodology/approachBased on a literature review on theory of planned behaviour (TPB), this study considers four motivational factors that influence the intention to use FWA: motivation for personal life, motivation for productivity, peer behaviour and concerns about career disadvantages. Survey response data drawn from 92 male and 105 female Korean workers were used to analyse differences by gender.FindingsAs for the male respondents, all four motivational factors have a significant effect on the intention to use FWA. However, in the female respondents, the effects of concerns about career disadvantages on the intention to use FWA are not significant. The results of gender differences analysis show that significant difference was not found in the effect of motivation for personal life on the intention to use FWA while the other three motivational factors have significant differences by gender.Research limitations/implicationsIn this research, basing its conceptual background on TPB, a novel approach is taken by introducing motivational factors as the antecedents of intention to use FWA. This is a more systematic view on individuals’ behavioural mechanism relating to the intention to choose FWA. It is also meaningful in that this study looks at the intention to use FWA from a broader perspective by suggesting gender differences as critical analysis criteria given the uniqueness of Korean labour market.Practical implicationsFor an effective operation of FWA, it is important not only to launch a flexible working programme itself, but also to ensure that the users are properly understood and fairly evaluated.Originality/valueConsidering the motivations of utilising FWA from various angles will contribute to coming up with various measures to raise the use and effectiveness of FWA.
Development of 3D-printed customized facial padding for burn patients
Authors: Ahmad Fozi Muhammad Aiman , Salleh Mohamed Najib , Ismail Khairul Azwan 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to develop 3D-printed customized padding to increase pressure at the zero pressure region. This padding is specifically intended for facial areas with complex contours in pressure therapy treatment of hypertrophic scars.

Design/methodology/approach
To carry out this study, a full-face head garment was fabricated by a local occupational therapist, and pressure measurements were conducted to establish the pressure exerted by this head garment and to determine the zero pressure region. Furthermore, an additional manufacturing method was used to construct customized padding, and pressure measurements were performed to measure the pressure exerted after application of this customized padding.

Findings
The results reveal that 3D-printed customized padding can increase pressure at the zero pressure region, which occurs on complex contour surfaces with a spatial gap because of non-contact of the head garment and facial surfaces.

Practical implications
This paper suggests that an additive manufacturing method using 3D printing is capable of producing accurate, functional and low-cost medical parts for rehabilitation. Moreover, the 3D-printed padding fabricated by additive manufacturing assists in generating optimal pressure, which is necessary for effective pressure therapy.

Originality/value
Digital design using 3D scanning, computer-aided design and 3D printing is capable of designing and producing properly fitting, customized padding that functions to increase pressure from zero to an acceptable pressure range required for pressure therapy.
Applying HR analytics to talent management
Authors: Mayo Andrew 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to summarise the different areas of talent management and how HR metrics and analytics can be harnessed to make those areas more effective.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper first discusses the different definitions of “talent”. It then takes three areas for the application of metrics and analytics – data about individuals, the effectiveness and efficiency of talent processes and the extent of the supporting culture.

Findings
The definition of talent should not be confined to senior leadership only, nor be fully inclusive of every employee, but organisations need to define those individuals and groups where some specific attention will benefit the organisation; it is as important to understand the potential of all employees as it is to assess their performance; metrics should be chosen for all talent processes and related to business KPIs where possible.

Practical implications
This is a practical paper giving guidance to talent managers in organisations on how to apply and utilise people analytics.

Originality/value
This paper is based mostly on the writing, models and experience of the author.
Barriers to self-care in elderly people with hypertension: a qualitative study
Authors: Gholamnejad Hanieh , Darvishpoor Kakhki Ali , Ahmadi Fazlollah , Rohani Camelia 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
Hypertension is the most common chronic disease throughout the world. Self-care is the key criteria in determining the final course of the disease. However, the majority of elderly people do not observe self-care behaviors. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the experiences of elderly people with hypertension in order to understand the barriers of their self-care behaviors.

Design/methodology/approach
This is a qualitative study with a conventional content analysis approach conducted in Tehran, Iran in 2017. Data collection was done among 23 participants – 14 elderly people; 6 cardiologists, geriatric physicians and nurses working in the cardiovascular ward; and 3 caregivers – who were selected by purposeful sampling. Using semi-structured, face-to-face interviews, data collection was continued until data saturation.

Findings
Three main categories, including attitude limitations, inefficient supportive network and desperation, all showed barriers to self-care by the experiences of elderly people with hypertension.

Originality/value
Lack of knowledge of the disease and its treatment process is one of the main barriers to self-care in elderly people with hypertension. Deficient supportive resources along with economic and family problems exacerbate the failure to do self-care behaviors.
Principal leadership style and school performance: mediating roles of risk management culture and management control systems use in Australian schools
Authors: Gong Maleen Z. , Subramaniam Nava 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThis study examines the mediating role of organisational control features, namely performance‐oriented risk management (RM) culture and the use of management control systems (MCS) in the relationship between school principal leadership styles and school performance within Australia. Based on survey responses from 106 Victorian secondary school principals, the study finds that performance‐orientedRMculture and enabling use ofMCSplay important mediating roles in the leadership style and school performance link. The findings also indicate that private schools are more likely to adopt a performance‐orientedRMculture than public schools. Our results extend organisational management and accounting literature linking leadership style, organisational controls and organisational performance in a school context. The findings also have implications for school governance policies.

Published: November 2018

AbstractAimsMicrovolt T‐wave alternans (MTWA) testing is a beat‐to‐beat fluctuation in the amplitude of T wave. We investigated whether: (a) MTWA can be new non‐invasive tool for detection of reversible ischemia in patients with suspected CAD without structural heart disease, (b) MTWA can detect ischemia earlier and with greater test accuracy compared with exercise ECG ST‐segment testing, and (c) threshold value of MTWA and heart rate at which the alternans is estimated can be different compared to standard values.MethodsA total of 101 patients with suspected stable coronary disease, but without structural heart disease, were included. Echocardiography, exercise ECG test, MTWA with classical and modified threshold alternans values, and coronary angiography were performed.ResultsAbout 33.3% patients had a false‐positive result on exercise ECG test. The sensitivity of exercise ECG ST‐segment test in the detection of coronary artery disease was 97.8%, and the specificity was 42.5% (DOR 33.89). In a group of angiographically positive patients, standard MTWA accurately identified 60% of patients, while 40% had a false‐negative result. About 91.8% patients with negative angiography result were accurately identified with 8.2% false positives. The sensitivity of MTWA was 59.61% and specificity 91.83%. Best ratio of sensitivity and specificity (86.53% and 95.91%, DOR 151.06) had modified criteria for positive MTWA (MTWA >1.5 µV at heart rate 115–125/min).ConclusionsThis study showed that MTWA can be the new non‐invasive tool for the detection of reversible ischemia in patients with suspected CAD without structural heart disease. Also, MTWA can detect ischemia earlier and with greater accuracy compared with exercise ECG testing.
Expression of biomarkers in the AKT pathway correlates with malignancy and recurrence in phyllodes tumours of the breast

Published: November 2018

AimsPhyllodes tumours (PTs) of the breast are uncommon fibroepithelial neoplasms with the potential to recur and metastasise. Apart from histological grading, the expression of biological markers and its relationship with tumour behaviour have been topics of interest. The phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3K)–AKT pathway regulates diverse biological functions, and is one of the most frequently deregulated pathways in cancers. Little is known of PI3K–AKT pathway alteration in PT. We aim to investigate the alterations in different component of AKT pathway in PTs.Methods and resultsThis study investigated the expression of four biological markers involved in this pathway (PTEN, INPP4B, PI3KCA and pAKT) in 134 PTs by the use of immunohistochemistry. According to an immunoscore incorporating staining intensity and proportion, low epithelial INPP4B expression (P = 0.045) was associated with recurrence. A trend of association was found for low epithelial PTEN expression with recurrence (P = 0.090). Interestingly, low epithelial INPP4B expression was also associated recurred tumours (P = 0.043). Stromal PI3KCA expression (P = 0.016) and pAKT expression (P = 0.006) were found to be correlated with increased histological grade, but an opposite trend was seen for stromal INPP4B expression (P = 0.018). In addition, epithelial and stromal PTEN expression, PI3KCA expression and pAKT expression showed strong correlations with each other (P ≤ 0.001).ConclusionsThese findings indicate that alterations in AKT pathway activation may correlate with malignant transformation and recurrence in PT. Low epithelial INPP4B/PTEN expression is associated with shorter recurrence‐free survival. These observations suggest that the pathway may play a crucial role in the biological behaviour and progression of PT, and assessing the expression of this pathway may be of value in diagnosis, grading, prognostication, and management.
The presence of high numbers of empty shells in anthropogenic habitats is insufficient to attract shell adopters among the insects

Abstract

Terrestrial snail shells can be considered partial resources for insects, and as such, the expansion of numerous snail species to anthropogenic habitats makes them increasingly available.

Here, we address for the first time a complete profile of insects that use empty terrestrial snail shells during the winter period in Central Europe.

The specialisation for shells made by certain snail species was uncommon; however, a number of species showed significant preferences for certain shell types. We found that the presence of empty snail shells in anthropogenic habitats drives the presence of many empty snail shell adopters in these habitats. Nevertheless, the increased availability of snail shells proved to be insufficient for a transition of all the species of snail shell adopters from natural to anthropogenic habitats. The avoidance of anthropogenic habitats among snail shell adopters was particularly distinct in species that use them only as a winter retreat but which require additional feeding and breeding resources, such as the true bugs.

The availability of snail shells is thus a pre‐requisite of the presence of specialised snail shell adopters but is not necessarily sufficient to establish their presence in the respective habitat.

Published: November 2018

AbstractIntroductionDysregulation of apoptosis has been explored in acute myeloid leukemia (AML); yet, its correlation with clinical outcomes in pediatric AML is unknown. This study was aimed to analyze percentage of apoptosis and apoptosis mediated through the intrinsic pathway with clinical outcomes in patients with pediatric AML.MethodsThis prospective study included pediatric AML patients enrolled from July 2013 to August 2016. Annexin‐V (marker of total apoptosis) and caspase‐9 expression (marker of intrinsic pathway) was determined in baseline bone marrow (BM) samples by flow cytometery and compared with controls (unaffected BM of solid tumors and peripheral blood [PB] of unaffected siblings). Overall survival (OS) and event‐free survival (EFS) were compared using log‐rank test.ResultsA total of 151 AML patients were enrolled, median age 10 (range: 0.7‐18 years). Annexin‐V expression in blast cells was significantly high in AML patients as compared to BM of subjects with solid tumors (P = 0.01) and PB of healthy subjects (P = 0.04). Caspase‐9 expression in blast cells was not significantly different. Median annexin‐V expression was significantly higher in patients with WBC count ≥11 000/mm3 (P = 0.02), poor‐risk cytogenetics (P = 0.02), the absence of RUNX1‐RUNX1T1 translocation (P = 0.004), and the absence of NPM1 mutation (P = 0.05). Patients with high annexin‐V expression had significantly inferior OS (P = 0.05) in univariate analysis but not in multivariate analysis (P = 0.32).ConclusionApoptosis as a whole was found to be activated in baseline BM samples of AML patients. High apoptosis may be associated with high‐risk phenotype in this disease.
