Dialogics of strategic communication
Authors: Christensen Emma , Christensen Lars Thøger 
Published: May 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze how the field of strategic communication is shaped and driven by several different logics that not only simply underpin each other, but also and simultaneously oppose each other and point in many different directions.Design/methodology/approachThe authors address the multiple logics in strategic communication and their interplay by drawing on Edgar Morin’s theory of “dialogics.” According to Morin, complex systems are characterized by multiple logics that are at once complementary, competitive and antagonistic with respect to one another.FindingsThe authors present and discuss five dialogics that challenge conventional notions of managerial control: deliberate vs emergent perspectives on communication strategy; top-down vs participatory approaches; bounded vs unbounded notions of communication; consistency vs inconsistency in organizational messages; and transparency vs opacity in organizational practices.Originality/valueWhile the dialogical perspective defies the ideal of strategic communication as a unitary discipline, the authors argue that the field can only develop by acknowledging, embracing and bringing to the fore of analysis principles that are at once complementary, competitive and antagonistic.
Kindles, card catalogs, and the future of libraries: a collaborative digital humanities project
Authors: Neatrour Anna L. , Callaway Elizabeth , Cummings Rebekah 
Published: May 2018

PurposeThis paper aims to determine if the digital humanities technique of topic modeling would reveal interesting patterns in a corpus of library-themed literature focused on the future of libraries and pioneer a collaboration model in librarian-led digital humanities projects. By developing the project, librarians learned how to better support digital humanities by actually doing digital humanities, as well as gaining insight on the variety of approaches taken by researchers and commenters to the idea of the future of libraries.Design/methodology/approachThe researchers collected a corpus of over 150 texts (articles, blog posts, book chapters, websites, etc.) that all addressed the future of the library. They ran several instances of latent Dirichlet allocation style topic modeling on the corpus using the programming language R. Once they produced a run in which the topics were cohesive and discrete, they produced word-clouds of the words associated with each topic, visualized topics through time and examined in detail the top five documents associated with each topic.FindingsThe research project provided an effective way for librarians to gain practical experience in digital humanities and develop a greater understanding of collaborative workflows in digital humanities. By examining a corpus of library-themed literature, the researchers gained new insight into how the profession grapples with the idea of the future and an appreciation for topic modeling as a form of literature review.Originality/valueTopic modeling a future-themed corpus of library literature is a unique research project and provides a way to support collaboration between library faculty and researchers from outside the library.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the implications of work-life-balance (WLB) challenges for Nigerian female medical doctors. This study focusses on Nigeria, which its peculiar socio-cultural, institutional and professional realities constitute WLB as well as social sustainability (SS) challenge for female medical doctors.Design/methodology/approachRelying on qualitative, interpretivist approach and informed by institutional theory, this study explores how Nigeria’s institutional environment and workplace realities engender WLB challenges, which consequently impact SS for female doctors. In total, 43 semi-structured interviews and focus group session involving eight participants were utilised for empirical analysis.FindingsThe study reveals that factors such as work pressure, cultural expectations, unsupportive relationships, challenging work environment, gender role challenges, lack of voice/participation, and high stress level moderate the ability of female medical doctors to manage WLB and SS. It also identifies that socio-cultural and institutional demands on women show that these challenges, while common to female physicians in other countries, are different and more intense in Nigeria because of their unique professional, socio-cultural and institutional frameworks.Research limitations/implicationsThe implications of the WLB and SS requires scholarship to deepen as well as extend knowledge on contextual disparities in understanding these concepts from developing countries perspective, which is understudied.Originality/valueThis study offers fresh insights into the WLB and SS concepts from the non-western context, such as Nigeria, highlighting the previously understudied challenges of WLB and SS and their implications for female doctors.

Published: May 2018

PurposeMore than two decades long technological improvements in information sharing have not yet ensured a flawless execution of vendor managed inventory (VMI) and left interested parties wondering about the reasons of poor results. Although VMI is a collaborative tool, the relational factors in a VMI setting have not received enough attention due to challenges in obtaining relational buyer-supplier data in addition to extant focus on analytical approaches. The purpose of this paper is to investigate post-implementation relational factors in order to extract relevant insights.Design/methodology/approachAccounting for the duration of the VMI relationship, the authors focus on two dimensions of VMI often ignored post-implementation: dependence of the buyer on the VMI-supplier and trust of the buyer in the VMI-supplier. Cross-sectional data were collected using a survey collected from distributors mostly in auto and electrical supply industries, which have their inventories managed by manufacturers through VMI arrangements. The sample was obtained from a leading third-party VMI-platform service provider that serves thousands of distributor-manufacturer locations with billions of dollars in sales orders. Multiple ordinary least squares regression has been used to test the hypotheses.FindingsThis paper provides empirical support that in the post-implementation stage, longer VMI relationships are associated with higher distributor dependence on the manufacturer. In addition, too much dependence could actually hurt the distributor’s trust in the manufacturer.Practical implicationsThe authors propose that distributors maintain some of the purchasing and inventory management skills in house to limit their dependencies on the manufacturers. Manufacturers should also invest in trust-building activities, such as regular communications with distributors.Originality/valueThis is the first study providing empirical evidence on the positive association between length of VMI relationship and buyer dependence on the supplier, and curvilinear dependence-trust link in a post-implementation VMI context.
Impact of international sports events on the attendance of domestic sports league games using Chinese Super League data
Authors: Feng Yan , Lu Jia , Yoon Yeujun 
Published: May 2018

PurposeExperiences of high quality games between top-class sports teams could influence sports fans’ decision to attend the domestic sports games. For example, soccer fans who watched the World Cup games between the best national teams are likely to be disappointed with the performance of their domestic league teams after the World Cup event, while more people might be attracted to watch a soccer game because of their increased interest in soccer games. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the international sports event (i.e. the World Cup) influences the demand of the domestic sports league games in the non-hosting country.Design/methodology/approachTo test these antithetical hypotheses, the authors collect the Chinese Super League game-level data from 2004 to 2011. For analysis, the authors propose two empirical models rigorously developed based on previous sports marketing theories.FindingsThe findings are surprising compared to previous studies for the hosting countries or countries that performed spectacularly during the World Cup tournaments. The authors find that the international event negatively influences the attendance of domestic games. Specifically, it gives salience to the competitive quality of a match and helps enhance the impact of star players. Furthermore, the authors find evidence of dynamic effects of the international event.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the previous sports literatures by expanding our understanding of the effect of international sports events. Particularly, the results shed light on international events’ impact on the domestic sports league demand in more general conditions based on its influence on people’s behavior, rather than focusing on the effect caused by facility development or dramatic performance during the international event.
Fashion misfit: women’s dissatisfaction and its implications

Published: May 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the link between underdeveloped and ill-informed sizing practices, fit dissatisfaction and the creation of textiles waste. The literature review identifies: issues that limit the effective development and application of sizing systems, the link between the complexities of consumer fit expectations, body image and self-esteem and maps the link between fit dissatisfaction and the creation of textiles waste.

Design/methodology/approach
Data analysis draws from a wider study designed to investigate women’s experiences of dress fit and body image. In total, 20 women aged 18-45 years were audio recorded while they tried on a number of mass-produced dresses, and were asked to select one dress, which they could keep.

Findings
All the dresses were selected except one style, which failed to satisfy any of the women’s fit requirements. The findings clearly demonstrate why this dress was considered to be unsatisfactory as well as the subsequent link between poor fit and body dissatisfaction.

Social implications
Findings support the theory that women identify with their clothes’ size and when this link is disrupted it causes discomfort and body dissatisfaction, which, in turn, contributed to rejection of the garment increasing the potential for the creation of waste.

Originality/value
This study is the first to link unsatisfactory fashion sizing practice with the production of textiles waste. The process of capturing women’s interactions with high street fashion dresses whilst trying them on enabled a detailed analysis that contributes new evidence to the debate around sizing practice, poor fit and its impact on body image and self-esteem.
A Quantum Leap in Energy Efficiency to Put the Sustainable Development Goals in Closer Reach
Authors: Puig Daniel , Farrell Timothy Clifford , Moner‐Girona Magda 
Published: May 2018

AbstractTargeted improvements in the way energy is transformed, distributed and used can accelerate progress toward achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Compared to a situation in which no indicators are defined and monitored, tracking progress through indicators would make it easier to reap the full developmental benefits associated with improvements in energy efficiency. We call upon G20 leaders to adopt SDG‐specific energy‐efficiency indicators, with a view to ultimately accelerating progress toward achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Published: May 2018

AbstractBackgroundThe aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a method for synthesizing a stable suspension of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and to test its efficacy for remineralizing carious enamel lesions.MethodsHydroxyapatite (HA) particles were synthesized using wet chemistry. Synthesized particles were introduced into a high‐pressure homogenizer (5–10 homogenization passes at 15 000 psi) in the presence of different stabilizers. Size and distribution of the resultant particles were determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The morphology and composition of the nanoparticles were determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS). Subsequently, artificial lesions were treated with HA nanosuspension plus artificial saliva or a fluoride‐containing artificial saliva only. Visual analysis and quantification of the lesion mineral density before and after remineralization were performed using microcomputed tomography.ResultsDLS and SEM results confirmed the formation of nonagglomerated HA nanoparticles (20–40 nm) following high‐pressure homogenization treatment. Quantitative evaluation of the lesions showed that remineralization of the lesion with hydroxyapatite nanosuspension led to a significantly higher level of mineral gain compared to the control group (P < 0.05).ConclusionHigh‐pressure homogenization is an effective method for facile preparation of a stable suspension of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. Treatment of artificial lesions with nonagglomerated spherical HA nanoparticles improves the remineralization of enamel lesion.

ObjectivesChanging public awareness of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a global public health priority. A systematic review of interventions that targeted public AMR awareness and associated behaviour was previously conducted. Here, we focus on identifying the active content of these interventions and explore potential mechanisms of action.MethodsThe project took a novel approach to intervention mapping utilizing the following steps: (1) an exploration of explicit and tacit theory and theoretical constructs within the interventions using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDFv2), (2) retrospective coding of behaviour change techniques (BCTs) using the BCT Taxonomy v1, and (3) an investigation of coherent links between the TDF domains and BCTs across the interventions.ResultsOf 20 studies included, only four reported an explicit theoretical basis to their intervention. However, TDF analysis revealed that nine of the 14 TDF domains were utilized, most commonly ‘Knowledge’ and ‘Environmental context and resources’. The BCT analysis showed that all interventions contained at least one BCT, and 14 of 93 (15%) BCTs were coded, most commonly ‘Information about health consequences’, ‘Credible source’, and ‘Instruction on how to perform the behaviour’.ConclusionsWe identified nine relevant TDF domains and 14 BCTs used in these interventions. Only 15% of BCTs have been applied in AMR interventions thus providing a clear opportunity for the development of novel interventions in this context. This methodological approach provides a useful way of retrospectively mapping theoretical constructs and BCTs when reviewing studies that provide limited information on theory and intervention content.
Statement of contribution

What is already known on this subject?

Evidence of the effectiveness of interventions that target the public to engage them with AMR is mixed; the public continue to show poor knowledge and misperceptions of AMR.

Little is known about the common, active ingredients of AMR interventions targeting the public and information on explicit theoretical content is sparse.

Information on the components of AMR public health interventions is urgently needed to enable the design of effective interventions to engage the public with AMR stewardship behaviour.

What does this study add?

The analysis shows very few studies reported any explicit theoretical basis to the interventions they described.

Many interventions share common components, including core mechanisms of action and behaviour change techniques.

The analysis suggests components of future interventions to engage the public with AMR.
Motivational and implicit processes contribute to incidental physical activity
Authors: Oliver Stacey , Kemps Eva 
Published: May 2018

ObjectivesPhysical activity can prevent health risks and even a slight increase in physical activity benefits health. This study investigated potential contributing factors to incidental physical activity.DesignA two‐part correlational study examined whether motivational properties (autonomous and controlled motivation) in interaction with implicit processes (implicit attitudes, attentional, and approach‐avoid biases) contribute to incidental physical activity.MethodsParticipants (N = 103) recorded a 7‐day step count to measure incidental physical activity. Implicit attitudes, attentional, and approach‐avoid biases were measured using the SC‐IAT, dot probe, and manikin tasks, respectively. Autonomous and controlled motivation were measured using the Perceived Locus of Causality Questionnaire.ResultsImplicit attitudes and autonomous and controlled motivation were independently associated with incidental physical activity. Both autonomous and controlled motivation (when controlling for the other motivation‐type) in interaction with approach bias contributed to incidental physical activity levels; motivation was positively associated with step count in participants with high avoid bias scores. Motivation did not interact with attentional bias to contribute to levels of incidental physical activity when controlling for motivation‐type.ConclusionsFindings showed that elements from self‐determination theory and dual process models relate to incidental physical activity behaviour. Specifically, autonomous motivation and certain implicit processes contributed to incidental physical activity engagement. This study provides an important first step towards understanding the psychological mechanisms that contribute to incidental physical activity.
Statement of contribution

What is already known on this subject?

Motivation and implicit processes individually contribute to incidental physical activity behaviour.

Autonomous motivation, rather than controlled motivation, primarily contributes to physical activity behaviour.

What does this study add?

Motivational and implicit processes together contribute to predicting levels of incidental physical activity.

Both autonomous and controlled motivation contribute to levels of incidental physical activity.

Certain implicit processes also play a role in incidental physical activity engagement.

ObjectiveTo investigate the oncological outcome of nonagenarians with bladder cancer, as a substantial rise in bladder cancer in the old‐old age group in the upcoming decades is expected, due to demographic changes and the peak incidence around the age of 85 years. The paucity of data of nonagenarians prompted us to investigate the outcomes of such patients.Patients and MethodsA retrospective, multicentre study was designed to assess patient demographics, tumour patterns, treatment strategies and outcome in patients aged ≥90 years treated at participating centres. Patients entered either as de novo or as recurrent cancer. The study period ranged from 01.01.2006 to 31.12.2016.ResultsA total of 123 patients with a mean (range) age of 91 (90–99) years were recruited. The American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification (ASA‐score) distribution was as follows: II, 38%; III, 50%; IV, 12%; and the male to female ratio 2.4:1. The median (range) follow‐up was 8 (1–132) months. In all, 60% of patients had a de novo cancer diagnosis. Histological findings revealed: pTa 39% (n = 48), pT1 28.5% (n = 35), and ≥pT2 33% (n = 40). Overall, 67.5% patients had no recurrence, 25.2% one and 7.5% two or more. pTa tumours (n = 48) recurred in 20 patients (42%), pT1 tumours (n = 35) in 12 (34%), and ≥pT2 tumours (n = 40) in six (15%). The median overall survival (OS) was 30.0 months for patients with pTa tumours, 14.0 months for pT1 tumours, and 6.0 months for ≥pT2 tumours. The overall mortality rate of patients with pTa tumours was 40%, with pT1 tumours at 60%, and ≥pT2 tumours 75%. The ASA‐score also had a strong influence on median OS after stratification by ASA‐score (II, 30 months; III, 12 months; IV, 4 months).ConclusionsIn nonagenarians with bladder tumours, pTa/pT1/≥pT2 stages are almost evenly distributed and two‐thirds of patients had no recurrence after transurethral resection of the bladder. The mean OS was 1.3 years, and 6 months for ≥pT2 tumours. Further case‐series of patients in this specific age‐group are required to identify the best management of this increasing proportion of patients with bladder tumours.
The diagnostic accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging before biopsy in the detection of prostate cancer

Published: May 2018

ObjectivesTo determine the extent to which clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) can be detected in a routine National Health Service setting in men with no previous biopsy, when multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is introduced into the diagnostic pathway.Patients and MethodsIn all, 1 090 mpMRIs were performed between July 2013 and April 2016 in biopsy‐naïve men with an abnormal prostate‐specific antigen level and/or digital rectal examination. Data were collected from patient records at the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust. mpMRI Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI‐RADS) scores were compared to transperineal or transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)‐guided biopsy findings as the reference standard. csPCa was defined as Gleason score of ≥3+4. The diagnostic accuracy of mpMRI was also assessed.ResultsThe mpMRI was interpretable in 1 023 men and 792 underwent biopsy, of which 106 were transperineal. The median number of cores taken in transperineal and TRUS‐guided biopsy were 10 and 6, respectively. The detection rate of csPCa was 37%; csPCa rose from 15% of PI‐RADS 1 and 2 to 86% of PI‐RADS 5. The sensitivity, negative predictive value, specificity, and positive predictive value were 82%, 85%, 59% and 54%, respectively. The study is limited by its retrospective nature and lack of reporting of follow‐up for ‘missed cancers’. Men with low mpMRI PI‐RADS were also less likely to undergo biopsy. Whilst this selection bias may overestimate the detection rate of csPCa, this reflects the shared decisions patients and clinicians make in day‐to‐day practice outside of research centres.ConclusionIn a routine clinical setting, the higher the mpMRI PI‐RADS, the greater the detection rate of csPCa in biopsy‐naïve men. A normal mpMRI does not exclude csPCa; however, mpMRI may have utility in informing shared‐decision making on whether to proceed to biopsy and subsequent treatment.
