A comparative study of retail banking practices in compliance with regulatory standard
Authors: Mittal Suman , Garg Krishan K. , Aggarwal Renu 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
The Indian banking industry has undergone many changes with the advent of changing economic environment in the country. Many changes have taken place in terms of customer services, work culture, infrastructure, approach to sales and customer relationship management amongst others. This paper aims to attempt to evaluate the adherence of BCSBI code by the banks. Customer perception has been evaluated to analyse the adherence of the code. Also, the authors have tried to evaluate the impact of customer type (mass and class customers) and bank type (based on bank ownership- private and public banks) on the compliance of the code by the bankers or minimum regulatory requirements with respect to customer services. Questionnaire has been developed as per the Banking Code and Standard Board of India (a customer services cell of Reserve Bank of India), and BCSBI has been used as a regulatory standard to compare the level of compliance by the banks.

Design/methodology/approach
Primary data have been collected from private and public sector banks. In the first step, instrument validity and reliability has been checked by using structural equation modelling; in the second step, descriptive statistics has been used to know the extent of fulfillment of standard by banks; and in the third step, a two-way multivariate analysis of variances has been used to do the comparative analyses of the respondents data.

Findings
The overall finding of the research shows that overall adherence of the dimension of code are not in sync with the objective of the code. Study also has shown the mindset of the Indian bankers that how they predominantly serve the class customers and push those products to the customers which are target based or earn profitability for the banks and incentives for the banker. Private banks are ahead in compliance with respect to the customer services, but they are also ahead in sales malpractices.

Practical implications
This study is an eye opener for the regulators, as per BCSBI regulations, surprise supervision take place every year, but this study shows the ineffectiveness of that supervision. Following the BCSBI norms by the banks is just eyewash of regulators, but all the norms are fulfilled only in papers but not in actual practice.

Originality/value
The research paper is original piece of work; the researcher did not find any study related to BCSBI code in Indian as well as in international literature.
A Gadamerian perspective on financial crimes
Authors: Dion Michel 
Published: May 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to see to what extent Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic philosophy could be used to unveil how corporate discourse about financial crimes (in codes of ethics) is closely linked to the process of understanding.Design/methodology/approachCorporate ethical discourse of 20 business corporations will be analyzed, as it is conveyed within their codes of ethics. The companies came from five countries (USA, Canada, France, Switzerland and Brazil). In the explanatory study, the following industries were represented (two companies by industry): aircrafts/trains, military, airlines, recreational vehicles, soft drinks, cigarettes, pharmaceuticals, beauty products, telecommunications and banks.FindingsHistorically-based prejudices in three basic narrative strategies (silence, chosen items and detailed discussion) about financial crimes are related to the mindset, to the basic outlook on corporate self-interest or to an absolutizing attitude.Research limitations/implicationsThe historically-based prejudices that have been identified in this explanatory study should be analyzed in longitudinal studies.Practical implicationsThe historically-based prejudices that have been identified in this explanatory study should be analyzed in longitudinal studies. Historically-based prejudices could be strengthened by the way corporate codes of ethics deal with financial crimes. They could, thus, have a deep impact on the organizational culture in the long-run.Originality/valueThe paper analyzes the way corporate codes of ethics use given narrative strategies to address financial crimes issues. It also unveils historically-based prejudices that follow from the choice of one or the other narrative strategy.
Demography, demand and devotion: driving the Islamic economy
Authors: Randeree Kasim 
Published: May 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse three drivers of the Islamic economy: global Muslim demography; operational sectors and demand; and faith-based consumerism.Design/methodology/approachThis paper follows a constructivist approach to the Islamic economy, undertaken through an exploratory study of global Muslim population, the growth in opportunities in the Islamic economy and plurality of religious thought across the diaspora.FindingsThe research finds four trends (t) positively impacting the growth of the Islamic economy: (t1) above-nominal increase in global Muslim population, with greater intra-religious interactions of varying Muslim cultures; (t2) an increasing demand for a diversity ofShari’ah-compliant andhalalproducts and services; (t3) improving socio-economic status of Muslims in developed and emerging countries; and (t4) a widening perspective of faith understanding and rising interest in religious literacy.Research limitations/implicationsThis research serves to inform global businesses of opportunities in Islamic economy sectors, highlighting global demographic change and informing how business is impacted through the plurality of Muslim faith interpretation.Practical implicationsBased on this research, businesses can better align their services with the socio-economic environment and faith sensibilities of Muslim consumers.Originality/valueThe paper provides a first look at the activity across Islamic economic sectors and disaggregates their activity and potential for growth across Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority markets. In particular, three areas were examined – demography, emergent Muslim lifestyles and religiosity.
Socialization and the buying behaviour of the Arab child consumers: insights from Oman
Authors: Ghouse Suhail M. , Chaudhary Monica , Durrah Omar 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to explore and analyze the various consumer socialization agents for the young Omani Arab children, who play a key role in the family purchase process.

Design/methodology/approach
A mixed method research approach was adopted in the form of a survey and short interviews for the study. The study was performed on the children in the age group of 7-14 years, enrolled in Omani schools. The socialization factors were grouped through the exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis was conducted to assess the impact of the factors on the purchase of various product categories. Finally, short personal interviews with the children were made to validate the results.

Findings
A model was proposed incorporating the four different socialization patterns of Omani children involving parents, friends, television and internet. The model was tested with the purchase of different product categories through multiple regression analysis. The results supported the parents, television and friends while rejected the internet as a means of socialization of Omani children. The qualitative analysis also revealed the same results, further incorporating the role of other family members in the socialization of the children.

Research limitations/implications
A research gap exists in the consumer literature related to the Arab child socialization as the previous scholars had contributed mainly in the developed Western context, hence, demanding further research studies in the young Arab consumers’ perspective.

Practical implications
Being the first of its type in the regional context, the research is important for the researchers who wish to understand the socialization process and its agents for the Omani Arab children. The research provides insights about the psychology of Omani children towards the products, which can aid the marketers to design appropriate marketing programmes targeting the growing child segment in the Arab world.

Originality/value
A significant research gap exists and suggests a research study on the patterns of socialization of the Arab children as no similar research had been previously conducted related to this context on child socialization. This research will serve as a base for future research studies in the socialization and purchase behavior of the Arab children.
Social care for adults with learning disabilities in England: trends over time
Authors: Hatton Chris 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine trends over time in social care usage and expenditure for adults with learning disabilities in England.

Design/methodology/approach
Returns from councils with social services responsibilities in England concerning social care usage and expenditure were analysed to examine the national picture and trends over time for adults with learning disabilities.

Findings
In 2017/2018, 147,915 adults with learning disabilities were receiving long-term social care, an increase of 5.7 per cent from 2014/2015. Social care expenditure increased by 10.2 per cent from 2014/2015 to £5.54bn in 2017/2018; adjusted for inflation this was a 2.7 per cent increase. For adults with learning disabilities who receive social care, increasing numbers of people are living with families or in supported accommodation/living, with gradual declines in the number of people living in residential or nursing care. The number of adults with learning disabilities in temporary accommodation is small but increasing.

Social implications
While councils appear to be attempting to protect social care for adults with learning disabilities in the face of cuts to council expenditure, social care expenditure and coverage are not keeping pace with likely increases in the number of adults with learning disabilities requiring social care.

Originality/value
This paper presents in one place statistics concerning long-term social care for adults with learning disabilities in England.
Commentary on “Thinking differently? Autism and quality of life”
Authors: Waldock Krysia Emily 
Published: May 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe the possible impact of normalisation on the perceptions of quality of life (QoL) and the impact of this association on the research to date. This commentary reflects on the implications of limiting QoL research to autistic people who are perceived to be “more able”.Design/methodology/approachThis commentary discusses the implications of undertaking QoL research in the field of autism.FindingsThis commentary argues for further consideration of the autistic voice in QoL research. Researcher epistemology and life experience, including experience of autistic people, is examined in terms of how QoL might be perceived and attributed. Further participatory research in the field of quality of life of autistic people, including those with a learning disability and engagement with a variety of autistic people, is called for.Originality/valueThis commentary suggests that the existing definitions of QoL, founded on principles of normalisation, may not be completely applicable to autistic people, and that new ways of both defining and measuring QoL might be needed.

Spider webs, stable isotopes and molecular gut content analysis: Multiple lines of evidence support trophic niche differentiation in a community of Hawaiian spiders
Authors: Kennedy Susan , Lim Jun Ying , Clavel Joanne , Krehenwinkel Henrik , Gillespie Rosemary G. 
Published: May 2019

Abstract

Adaptive radiations are typically characterized by niche partitioning among their constituent species. Trophic niche partitioning is particularly important in predatory animals, which rely on limited food resources for survival.

We test for trophic niche partitioning in an adaptive radiation of Hawaiian Tetragnatha spiders, which have diversified in situ on the Hawaiian Islands. We focus on a community of nine species belonging to two different clades, one web‐building and the other actively hunting, which co‐occur in wet forest on East Maui. We hypothesize that trophic niches differ significantly both: (a) among species within a clade, indicating food resource partitioning, and (b) between the two clades, corresponding to their differences in foraging strategy.

To assess niches of the spider species, we measure: (a) web architecture, the structure of the hunting tool, and (b) site choice, the physical placement of the web in the habitat. We then test whether differences in these parameters translate into meaningful differences in trophic niche by measuring (c) stable isotope signatures of carbon and nitrogen in the spiders’ tissues, and (d) gut content of spiders based on metabarcoding data.

We find significant interspecific differences in web architecture and site choice. Importantly, these differences are reflected in stable isotope signatures among the five web‐building species, as well as significant isotopic differences between web‐builders and active hunters. Gut content data also show interspecific and inter‐clade differences. Pairwise overlaps of web architecture between species are positively correlated with overlaps of isotopic signature.

Our results reveal trophic niche partitioning among species within each clade, as well as between the web‐building and actively hunting clades. Based on the correlation between web architecture and stable isotopes, it appears that the isotopic signatures of spiders’ tissues are influenced by architectural differences among their webs. Our findings indicate an important link between web structure, microhabitat preference and diet in the Hawaiian Tetragnatha.

Optimisation of foam‐mat drying of yoghurt and properties of powdered yoghurt
Authors: Malik Manisha , Sharma Alka 
Published: May 2019

Foam‐mat drying was optimised by studying the effects of different concentrations of soy lecithin on foam density and foam expansion of yoghurt. Sample thickness was studied by drawing drying and moisture ratio curves during drying in electric tray dehydrator at 58–63 °C. Prepared powder was analysed to study the impact of foaming agent on yoghurt powder. Evaluation of bulk properties was done to reduce storage and transportation volume. Wettability, water absorption capacity and insolubility index were determined to study effects on functional properties. Scanning electron microscope was performed for studying surface properties. No significant changes were observed in bulk properties, but treatment significantly affected functional and surface properties.
Snail assemblages: interrogating an environmental controversy involvingPowelliphanta augustaand the mining industry inAotearoaNewZealand
Authors: Le Heron Erena 
Published: May 2019

AbstractIn 2004, a controversy arose in Aotearoa New Zealand's coal mining sector that involvedPowelliphanta augusta, a species of land snail. This paper considers that controversy in terms of emergent assemblages involving the snail, the mining industry, the Department of Conservation, political action by environmental non‐government organisations, and public expressions of environmental and other values. Three sets of relations embedded in those assemblages are examined—those related to positioning and organising nature; values, politics, and power relations; and human and non‐human materialities. Those relations illuminate how a protracted controversy and its objects form a “social test bed” for contested views in legislation and guidelines dealing with economy, conservation, and restoration. To assess the dynamics, complexities, and contingencies of such relations, attention is paid to the controversy's detailed time line and legal framing, as well as to ontological shifts of snail and habitat and snail metrics. This analytical focus highlights the shifting quality of ideas about how the snail and its habitat are understood as entangled in fraught and mutating strategies of translocation that are played out in a particular regulatory setting. It also provides insights into international geographical efforts to re‐shape environmental governance and management.
Remembering and forgetting 1974: the 2011 Brisbane floods and memories of an earlier disaster
Authors: McKinnon Scott 
Published: May 2019

AbstractThe city of Brisbane, capital of the Australian state of Queensland, sits on a floodplain and has been struck by two devastating flood disasters in the last 50 years. This article contributes to the growing literature on disaster memory by tracing memories of a flood in 1974 as they were constructed and re‐enacted in a more recent disaster in 2011. The article examines how disaster memories shape local identities and considers how such memories influence policy and local knowledge, doing so by reference to an analysis of three forms of memory media—personal narratives, news media reporting, and built memorials. At times, memories of 1974 enabled Brisbane residents to prepare for an oncoming flood and to understand the scope of the 2011 event. Yet other memories produced a form of forgetting by positioning the earlier flood as a successfully navigated event now safely contained in the past. Findings from the analysis thus point to the importance of understanding memories of past disasters as a critical element of disaster planning and management.

Published: May 2019

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the role of double‐balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in treating intestinal polyps in patients with Peutz‐Jeghers syndrome (PJS).MethodsAll patients diagnosed with PJS who underwent a polypectomy under DBE from October 2006 to December 2018 were enrolled. Their clinical records, including surgical history, the method of DBE insertion, the number of DBE procedures, and the maximum size and number of the resected polyps, were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsAltogether 97 patients were enrolled. For both antegrade and retrograde DBE the maximum size of the resected polyps during the second hospitalization was significantly smaller than that during the first hospitalization (antegrade DBE: [2.13 ± 1.51] cm vs [3.63 ± 0.92] cm, P = 0.012; retrograde DBE: [1.20 ± 1.10] cm vs [2.95 ± 1.95] cm, P = 0.03), but was significantly larger than that during the third hospitalization (antegrade DBE: [2.13 ± 1.51] cm vs [0.88 ± 0.70] cm, P = 0.012; retrograde DBE: [1.20 ± 1.10] cm vs [0.46 ± 0.40] cm, P = 0.048). The interval between the second and third hospitalizations was significantly longer than that between the first and second hospitalizations ([899.00 ± 382.12] days vs [537.27 ± 326.28] days, P = 0.027). The success rate of total enteroscopy was 58.3% (28/48), which was not affected by a history of laparotomy (61.5% vs 52.4%, P = 0.528). The complication rate was 4.4%.ConclusionDBE is clinically safe and effective for the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal polyps in patients with PJS.

AbstractThree experiments were carried out to determine the crude protein requirements for maintenance (CPm) and weight gain (CPg) of meat quail and to develop protein‐requirement prediction models. Experiment 1 was conducted to determine CPm by the nitrogen‐balance technique. The regression of nitrogen balance on nitrogen intake revealed a CPm requirement of 2.94 g/kg0.75/day. Experiment 2 was aimed at determining CPm by the comparative‐slaughter technique. Retained nitrogen (RN) and nitrogen intake (NI) were quantified considering the metabolic weight of the birds. The linear regression of RN on NI provided a CPm estimate of 6.63 g/kg0.75/day. Experiment 3 was conducted to determine CPg. The regression of body nitrogen from the carcasses on fasted body weight revealed CPg estimates of 407.68 (0–7 days), 501.76 (8–14 days), 470.40 (0–14 days), 517.44 (15–21 days), 627.20 (22–28 days), 423.36 (29–35 days), and 517.44 mg/g (15–35 days). The protein‐requirement prediction models developed for meat quail aged 0–7, 8–14, 0–14, 15–21, 22–28, 29–35, and 15–35 days were CP = 2.94.W0.75 + 0.408.G; CP = 2.94.W0.75 + 0.502.G; CP = 2.94.W0.75 + 0.470.G; CP = 2.94.W0.75 + 0,517.G; CP = 2.94.W0.75 + 0.627.G; CP = 2.94.W0.75 + 0.423.G; CP = 2.94.W0.75 + 0.517.G, respectively, where: W0.75 = metabolic weight (kg), and G = daily weight gain (g).
Engagement as co‐constructing knowledge: A moral necessity in public health research
Authors: Pratt Bridget 
Published: May 2019

AbstractUndertaking engagement in public health research is ethically essential. There is a growing emphasis on practicing engagement as the co‐construction of knowledge, which goes beyond other common forms of engagement in health research practice: consulting and informing. Taking such an approach means researchers jointly construct knowledge with research users and beneficiaries; all parties design and conduct research together and share decision‐making power. This article makes the normative argument that such engagement is necessary to achieve the foundational moral aims of public health research—building relations of equality and addressing the health needs of those considered disadvantaged—which reflect the field's underlying commitment to social justice. It next identifies and discusses three ways in which co‐constructing knowledge advances those moral aims: by facilitating self‐determination, supporting individuals’ right to research, and maximizing social knowledge to address cognitive and epistemic injustice. Objections to the arguments presented in the article are then articulated and defended against.
