Pilot implementation of child psychosocial framework in Kenya, Turkey and Brazil
Authors: Vostanis Panos , Eruyar Seyda , Smit Esther , O’Reilly Michelle 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop a child psychosocial framework among stakeholders in areas of disadvantage in three low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), i.e. Kenya, Turkey and Brazil, and to capture their proposed recommendations through action plans according to this framework.

Design/methodology/approach
Workshops were facilitated with a total of 54 participants from different disciplines. The framework addressed safety and child-centredness, quality of care, resilience-building in schools and communities, enhancing competencies within existing roles, counselling and psychological interventions, and access to mental health services. Stakeholders’ perspectives were captured through a participatory action procedure.

Findings
The emerging 33 categories across the framework dimensions and the three sites led to four overarching and inter-linked themes. These related to community awareness; empowerment and “mobilization” of children, young people and families; inter-agency policy and practice; and capacity-building on skills acquisition at different levels.

Research limitations/implications
The next stage in this service research should be full implementation and evaluation in different LMIC contexts.

Practical implications
It is feasible to implement such a child psychosocial framework in contexts of conflict and disadvantage, and in the absence of specialist mental health services. Active stakeholder engagement and co-production should be central to the next phase of service transformation in LMIC.

Originality/value
This study captured the views and experiences of stakeholders in LMIC areas of disadvantage, and demonstrated their readiness to establish interdisciplinary networks and re-focus existing services.
The public sphere without democracy: some recent work in LIS
Authors: Buschman John 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze and re-direct recent schematic and empirical scholarship on Habermas’ theory of the public sphere in library and information science (LIS).

Design/methodology/approach
This paper conducts a critical analysis of the relevant literature in light of Habermas’ origination and use/purpose of the public sphere concept.

Findings
The authors examined here produced a schematic operationalization of the public sphere that thinned the concept, but in turn, that schematization has produced insight into the civil society functions and communications of libraries, both within and without. For this work to be meaningful, the considerations and contexts of democratic society must be reinserted.

Research limitations/implications
Further explorations of the relationship between the public sphere and civil society as they are manifested around and in libraries is called for. Additionally, Weigand’s approach to producing data/evidence on the public sphere and libraries should be furthered.

Practical implications
Understanding the role and function of libraries in democratic societies is essential for libraries to play a productive democratic role in those societies and thus, in guiding them.

Social implications
This paper helps to situate the bewildering circumstances of libraries who face both popular support and broad political-social questioning of their role and place.

Originality/value
This paper arguably interjects a more sophisticated and nuanced theoretical picture of the public sphere than prior precis presented in the LIS literature have undertaken. It also engages a unique set of empirical-theoretical students from another perspective in order to deepen and shift that research discourse.
Why do employees speak up? Examining the roles of LMX, perceived risk and perceived leader power in predicting voice behavior
Authors: Duan Jinyun , Lapointe Émilie , Xu Yue , Brooks Sarah 
Published: October 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand better why employees voice. Drawing on social information processing theory and insights derived from the literature on power, the authors suggest that leader–member exchange (LMX) fosters voice by reducing the perceived risk of voicing. The authors further contend that high perceived leader power will strengthen this mediated relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe authors relied on a sample of 265 employee-supervisor dyads collected from Chinese organizations to test the study hypotheses.FindingsResults indicated that perceived risk of voicing significantly mediated the positive LMX–voice behavior relationship. In addition, perceived leader power strengthened the effect of LMX on voice behavior via perceived risk of voicing. The relationship of LMX to perceived risk of voicing was more negative, and the indirect effect of LMX on voice behavior was more positive when employees perceived that leader power was high.Practical implicationsOrganizations seeking to promote voice behaviors should support leaders to develop high-quality relationships with employees. Organizations should also ensure that leaders are sufficiently empowered to fulfill their roles, and ensure that employees are aware of their leaders’ influence.Originality/valueFindings suggest that, in the context of high quality leader–member relationships, employees’ perceptions of their leaders’ power may help to overcome barriers associated with speaking up. Thus, this study helps explain the conditions that encourage employees to voice.
Assessing water supply for the urban poor in Rajshahi City, Bangladesh
Authors: Shuaib A.S.M. , Rana Md Masud Parves 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a better understanding about sources of water for the urban poor in Rajshahi city, Bangladesh. It evaluates water supply performances to identify priority areas of water supply for further improvement. The paper also illustrates whether location of slums in the city has a connection with water supply facilities or not.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper presents a case study of water supply for the urban slum dwellers. Based on a questionnaire survey, it evaluates performances of water supply following a holistic framework for assessing dimensions of water supply system among three slum zones of Rajshahi city. The dimensions of water supply are as follows: technical, biophysical, political, institutional, economic and social.

Findings
The research finds that most of the slum dwellers do not have reliable and sufficient access to water supply. The performance of water supply is location specific, and all of the slums do not have equal access to all dimensions of water supply. Overall performance of water supply is moderate, but individual performances of dimensions are unsatisfactory and unequal among the slums.

Practical implications
The paper suggests location-specific identification of strengths and weaknesses of water supply for the poor. It consolidates a performance evaluation method for identifying priority areas and needs of the urban poor for making Rajshahi city more inclusive and sustainable.

Originality/value
The paper provides an assessment of water supply performance for the urban poor in Rajshahi city, Bangladesh.
Food waste in tourist households: a perspective article
Authors: Gretzel Ulrike , Murphy Jamie , Pesonen Juho , Blanton Casey 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to provide a perspective on food waste by tourists and tourist households, now and in the future.

Design/methodology/approach
This is a perspective article that summarizes contemporary thinking about food waste and conceptualizes food waste specifically for tourist household settings.

Findings
In tourism, food is more than nourishment and extends to visitor experiences and attractions. Yet food waste arising from tourism activity is a major environmental and societal issue. Festive moods and holiday spirits – synonymous with over-sized portions, bountiful buffets and entertainment excess – exacerbate food waste. Cultural norms that portray food waste as a sign of good hospitality further aggravate the problem. This paper argues that efforts to reduce food waste in tourism require new conceptualizations of tourist households, and where food waste occurs in relation to tourism, and of who should be responsible for preventing and managing food waste.

Research limitations/implications
The tourism industry faces ever-growing economical, societal and legislative reasons to address food waste, which are dynamic and difficult to predict.

Practical implications
Savvy meal providers will migrate towards reducing their food waste or turning it into assets. However, a focus on preventing food waste only in traditional food service and accommodation establishments ignores the reality of growing tourist households and will stifle sustainability efforts unless theoretically unpacked and practically addressed.

Social implications
A third of food produced globally is lost or wasted. Stark facts, proclamations and regulations underscore food waste as a burgeoning global problem with major environmental, social and economic costs.

Originality/value
Food waste, in general, and by tourists, is a burgeoning environmental, social and economic challenge. This is one of the first articles to focus on this topic and introduces the concept of tourist households.

Published: October 2019

Abstract

While the biocontrol potential of natural enemies is well established, it is largely unknown how landscape‐mediated effects on pest and natural enemy communities impact the cascade of biocontrol potential, crop injury, yield and profit, taking into account crop management and surrounding landscape composition.

We compared natural biocontrol with chemical control according to local farmers’ practice, across the ‘full cascade’ from natural enemy and pest abundance to crop injury, yield loss, yield and economic performance. This 2‐year study was conducted in 20 rice fields embedded in a gradient of landscapes from crop‐dominated to semi‐natural habitat‐dominated, in subtropical China, the world's largest rice‐producing region.

Natural enemies suppressed brown planthopper population growth in unsprayed plots, irrespective of landscape composition. However, crop injury was lower in pesticide treated plots than in unsprayed plots, and yields in sprayed plots were 20% higher than in unsprayed plots. Nevertheless, pesticide applications were only profitable in less than half of the cases when only costs for pesticides were considered, and in less than one third of the cases when costs for pesticides and labour were considered.

Synthesis and applications. Our findings question the cost‐effectiveness of current chemical‐based pest management in farming, and highlight opportunities for more ecologically based pest management strategies based on the widespread activity of natural enemies. Pest damage and biocontrol, however, are largely independent from the landscape context, which might be due to the small‐scale character of Chinese rice landscapes. To maintain high levels of biocontrol, conserving this small‐scale character appears more important than increasing the proportion of semi‐natural habitat.
Emerging risks of non‐native species escapes from aquaculture: Call for policy improvements in China and other developing countries

Published: October 2019

Abstract

Global aquaculture relies heavily on the farming of non‐native aquatic species (hereafter, NAS). NAS escapes from aquaculture facilities can result in serious aquatic bio‐invasions, which has been an important issue in the FAO Blue Growth Initiative. A regulatory quagmire regarding NAS farming and escapes, however, exists in most developing countries.

We discuss aquaculture expansion and NAS escapes, illustrate emerging risks and propose recommendations for improved aquaculture management across developing countries and particularly for China.

In China, 68 NAS are known to have successfully established feral populations in natural habitats due to recurrent leakages or escapes; among the 68 NAS, 52 represent risks to native aquatic ecosystems. In addition to affecting a country's own biodiversity and ecosystem functions, NAS escapees can also threaten the biosecurity of shared waters in neighbouring countries.

Policy implications. Non‐native aquatic species (NAS) escapes have already had adverse ecological effects in China and other developing countries. The importance of this problem, however, is not adequately recognized by current conservation policies in developing countries. To conserve biodiversity and to support the goal of FAO's sustainable aquaculture, developing countries should now take responsible actions to address NAS escapes through policy and management improvements. Specifically, these countries should pass comprehensive legislation, establish effective agencies and national standards and planning and enhance integrated research and education to deal with risk assessment, prevention, monitoring and control of NAS escapes. Given that China is the world's largest aquacultural producer, China can create a model for other developing countries that will increase the biosecurity and sustainability of global aquaculture.

Published: October 2019

IntroductionHigh‐quality research is the foundation of occupational therapy and physical therapy/physiotherapy. A bibliometric study on the research productivity of occupational therapy and physical therapy/physiotherapy scholars in different Western and Asian countries/regions could provide a snapshot of current research achievement in rehabilitation science.MethodOn the basis of an understanding of the leading role of rehabilitation research in Western countries and a recognition of achievements made by Asian occupational therapy and physical therapy/physiotherapy scholars, the current bibliometric study examined the research productivity of occupational therapy and physical therapy/physiotherapy professors and associate professors from four Western countries (Australia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom) and five Asian countries/regions (Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea). The h‐indices of these scholars were retrieved online and aggregated to quantify the research productivity of institutions and countries/regions.ResultsAustralia, Canada, Hong Kong and the United States were identified as countries/regions with higher research productivity in occupational therapy and physical therapy/physiotherapy. The institutions were ranked on the basis of the median h‐indices of their professors and associate professors; the top 20 productive institutions with occupational therapy programmes had a median h‐index of 17.5 or higher, whereas the benchmark of the top 20 institutions with physical therapy/physiotherapy programmes was 25.ConclusionProfessors and associate professors in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and the United States are productive in occupational therapy and physical therapy/physiotherapy research. The number of faculty members and university connections are regarded as important for research achievement. Recommendations for various levels of collaboration are provided.
The effects of global leniency programs on margins and mergers
Authors: Dong Ailin , Massa Massimo , Žaldokas Alminas 
Published: October 2019

AbstractIn a cross‐country study, we investigate how staggered passage of national leniency programs from 1990–2012 has affected firms’ margins and merger activity. We find that these programs, which give amnesty to cartel conspirators that cooperate with antitrust authorities, reduced the gross margins of the affected firms. However, firms reacted to new regulations by engaging in more mergers that had negative effects on downstream firms. Our results imply that although these programs were generally effective, their full potential was mitigated by mergers that substitute for cartels, and that a strong merger review process might be a prerequisite for strengthening anti‐collusion enforcement.
Wake Forest Alcohol Imagery Set: Development and Validation of a Large Standardized Alcohol Imagery Dataset
Authors: Peterson Hope , Simpson Sean L. , Laurienti Paul J. 
Published: October 2019

BackgroundThe study of alcohol use frequency utilizes alcohol‐related cue imagery. Although a number of alcohol‐image databases currently exist, they have several limitations: Many are not publicly available, some use stock images or clip art rather than real photographs, several eliminate any photographs displaying brand information, and predominantly they contain relatively few images. The aim of this project was to develop a large, open‐access database of alcohol‐related cue images, containing photographs with and without brand information, taken in real‐world environments, with images in a variety of orientations and dimensions.MethodsThe study collected 1,650 images voluntarily from the larger community, to capture photographs with a wide range of content, environments, and relation to alcohol. All images were then rated on scales of valence, arousal, and relation to alcohol by 1,008 Amazon Mechanical Turk workers, using classical emotion validation methods based on the International Affective Picture System (IAPS). Survey respondents were screened with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and Cronbach’s alpha scores were calculated to determine the interrater reliability of scores across the whole sample, and within low‐risk, moderate‐risk, and high‐risk drinkers for each rating domain. Univariate ANOVAs were run to determine differences in ratings across drinking groups.ResultsAll Cronbach’s alpha scores indicated high interrater reliability within the whole sample, and across drinking severity groups. Tukey’s HSD post hoc results indicated greater arousal and affect in response to image viewing in moderate‐ and high‐risk drinkers, and higher relation‐to‐alcohol ratings in low‐risk drinkers. All images had categorization tags assigned by members of the study team.ConclusionsThe established imagery set includes 1,650 alcohol‐related images, rated on scales of valence, arousal, and relation to alcohol, and categorized by type of alcohol depicted. The imagery database will be available for open‐access download and use through Google Photos.
Peer effects in the diffusion of water‐saving agricultural technologies
Authors: Sampson Gabriel S. , Perry Edward D. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractWe investigate the role of peer effects in the diffusion of an important water‐saving irrigation technology: low energy precise application (LEPA). Using detailed irrigation behavior data for growers in the High Plains Aquifer region of Kansas covering 1990–2014, we find clear evidence of peer influence in adoption of LEPA, net of environmental factors. Specifically, an additional neighboring LEPA installation within 1 km increases the probability of adoption by about 0.3 percentage points, on average, and this effect diminishes with distance. Our empirical estimates indicate that in the absence of peer effects, LEPA adoption would have been about 10% lower (1,000–1,600 fewer installations) per year. In addition, we find that growers install LEPA in response to higher energy prices.
Do consumers value hydroponics? Implications for organic certification
Authors: Gilmour Daniel N. , Bazzani Claudia , Nayga Rodolfo M. , Snell Heather A. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractRecent controversy about the inclusion of hydroponics in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic program has highlighted uncertainty about marketing hydroponic crops. In a controversial vote in November 2017, the National Organic Standards Board chose not to recommend that hydroponic farms be banned from organic certification. It is still unclear, however, how consumers perceive and value hydroponic production. This study used a nonhypothetical choice experiment to estimate consumers’ willingness to pay for hydroponic and traditional lettuce both with and without organic certification. No hydroponic premium was found, but exposing consumers to different kinds of information about hydroponics significantly affected consumers’ preference formation. Findings generally suggest that the National Organic Program should consider ways to ensure the stability of organic premiums as perceptions about hydroponics evolve.
Aberrant DNA methylation profiling affecting the endometrial receptivity in recurrent implantation failure patients undergoing in vitro fertilization
Authors: Pathare Amruta D. S. , Hinduja Indira 
Published: October 2019

AbstractProblemDNA methylation profile in mid‐secretory phase of endometrium is reported to be varied from other phases in natural menstrual cycle. Therefore, we intended to study the impairment in endometrial receptivity by performing whole‐genome methylation and gene expression profiling in endometrium of recurrent implantation failure patients (RIF) during IVF under controlled ovarian stimulation (COS).Method of studyEndometrial biopsies were collected from IVF‐RIF patients (cases, n = 6) and healthy fertile oocyte donors (controls, n = 6) undergoing COS after 6/7th day of human chorionic gonadotropin administration. The whole‐genome methylation and gene expression microarray were performed and analysed by GenomeStudio software (P < .05 by Illumina Custom Model), whereas the enrichment analysis was performed using “Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery” (DAVID, V6.8). Significant differentially methylated genes were correlated with dys‐regulated genes using Pearson's correlation.ResultsDifferential methylation in RIF patients revealed 448 CpG sites. The enrichment analysis showed aberrant methylation in genes involved in immunological response and G protein activity. Methylation in NLRP2 gene in inflammatory pathway had significant negative correlation with gene expression (P = .008), whereas SERPINA5 gene that is already known to be involved in endometrial receptivity was observed to be hypomethylated in promoter region with highest delta beta value and up‐regulated in gene expression analysis.ConclusionThe aberrant methylation of genes involved in immunological functions and G protein activation was found to be prevalent which might suggest a role in endometrial receptivity. However, the findings need to be further validated on a larger cohort of IVF‐RIF patients.
