What is new in “a new history of management”?
Authors: Batiz-Lazo Bernardo 
Published: November 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the contributions of the so-called “Historic Turn” in Organization Studies through the attempt by Cummingset al.(2016) to offer a new and alternative approach to teaching and researching the history of management ideas.A New History of Managementis intended to be a provocation rather than a practical plan, and by their own admission, Cummingset al.(2016) prefer controversy to detailed analysis.Design/methodology/approachThis paper offers a comment and reinterpretation of a single contribution to highlight deficiencies which are symptomatic of the post-modernist research agenda around the “Historic Turn” in Organization Studies. The argument develops through a critical reading of Cummingset al.(2016) to determine whether theirs is a thoughtful and serious piece of work.FindingsCummingset al.(2016) invite us to revise and re-evaluate the genesis of management ideas available across textbooks. This by questioning some of the beliefs regarding the origins of management thought within textbooks aimed at both general management and the history of management thought. The premise of Cummings and colleagues is a timely and welcomed suggestion. So is their attempt to broaden the debate to alternative epistemological positions. They can potentially help to improve the emergence of conceptual and theoretical understandings of the history of managers’, business and management thought. Although far from being exhaustive, the paper points to the large number of inconsistencies and poor historiography in Cummingset al.(2016). This is in line with other contributions to the so-called “Historic Turn” in Organization Studies. The central argument presented by this paper is the myopic and technically poor approach of the “Historic Turn”. It is the case that Cummingset al.(2016) fail in their attempt to offer an alternative to established textbooks or explain the development of different approaches to construct systematic studies that, over time, consider the evolution of management, managers and those who have conceptualized their performance.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper does not present new (archival) historical evidence.Originality/valueThe central contribution/ambition of this paper is to incentivize an advance of the current understanding of the origins and evolution of systematic thinking on management, managers and business organizations. The ambition of this paper is in line with Cummingset al.(2016) aim to incentivize research into how textbooks address the origins of management and management thought. Textbooks in both general management and the history of management thought, and the story told in them are important tools that speak directly to the ability of historical research to help advance the different disciplines that form general studies in business and management.
The impact of altruistic attribution and brand equity in food label campaigns
Authors: Legendre Stéphane , Coderre François 
Published: November 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of two determinants of purchase intention in food label campaigns: altruistic attribution and brand equity.Design/methodology/approachA 2 × 2 between-group factorial experimental design was used, with 2 levels of altruistic attribution (high/low) and 2 levels of brand equity (high/low). The product used for the study was pork chops. A survey was conducted on 602 respondents representing the population of Quebec, Canada.FindingsStructural equation modelling was used to evaluate the fit of the data with the proposed mod el. The results demonstrate that altruistic attribution and brand equity have an indirect impact on purchase intention via perceptions of taste and food safety. Altruistic attribution, but not brand equity, also has a direct impact on purchase intention.Research limitations/implicationsThe experiment in this study was conducted via an online consumer panel to increase internal validity. As a result, one of the limitations of the study concerns its external validity.Practical implicationsThis research provides strategic guidelines for businesses or organisations that wish to develop food label campaigns. They must simultaneously consider both altruistic attribution and pre-existing brand equity.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the impact of altruistic attribution and brand equity on purchase intention in the context of food label campaigns. The study mobilises attribution theory and the multidimensional consumer-based brand equity scale.
How interconnected SMEs in business cluster survive the economic crisis
Authors: Andreano M. Simona , Benedetti Roberto , Mazzitelli Andrea , Piersimoni Federica , Di Fatta Davide 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to introduce a new framework that helps to get an overview of contextual factors that influence the ability of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to survive the economic crisis in a business cluster, as parts of a system.

Design/methodology/approach
The spatial autologistic model and the logit regression tree (RT) were applied to SME manufacturing companies localized in the business clusters of the Italian Marche region to explain interconnection among the actors of the network and their heterogeneous behavior with the environment.

Findings
The main findings of the application confirm that contextual influences are decisive in the definition of firm’s survival, explained through the presence of spatial dependence in bankruptcy analysis, validating the transmission effects of corporate bankruptcy within the business clusters in the Marche region.

Originality/value
The estimation of the logistic RT allowed to identify sub-systems, homogeneous with respect to crucial context variables, with different firms’ behaviors in terms of probability to survive in the system and relation to their environment. Therefore, a systemic approach is required to provide a better understanding of such kind of phenomena.
Environmental impact of FDI – the case of US subsidiaries
Authors: Cerdeira Bento João Paulo , Moreira António 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to examine how foreign direct investment (FDI) and firm-specific advantages (FSAs) of US multinational enterprises (MNEs) majority-owned subsidiaries affect environmental pollution in host countries. The research results contribute to helping managers and policymakers understand the environmental impact of MNEs activities, and encourage these firms to develop environmentally responsible management (ERM) as an element of their corporate social responsibility practice.

Design/methodology/approach
Panel data consisting of developing and developed countries spanning the years 2004 through 2014 are used. The dynamic panel generalised method of moments technique is implemented. This method avoids common estimation bias, such as endogeneity, heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation.

Findings
This paper finds that the direct environmental impacts of FDI vary significantly between the two groups of countries. The environmental benefits of FDI to the recipient country are achieved through capital and technology transfer. The study also reveals that R&D intensity moderates the relationship between FDI and environmental pollution in both developing and developed countries in such a way that environmental pollution decreases.

Research limitations/implications
Future research could explore the environmental impact of MNEs on host countries by considering both equity and non-equity entry modes. The findings offer some support to host government policies offering generous incentive packages to attract R&D investment to improve environmental pollution. This research raises questions as to the reasons corporations operating in developing and developed countries should pursue their ERM practices.

Originality/value
This research examines both the direct effect of FDI and the moderating effects of FSAs on the relationship between FDI and the environment. Although previous studies have already looked at the relationship between FDI and the environment, the moderating effect of FSAs is very under-developed in this relationship.
The sequential effect of CSR and COE: family ownership moderation
Authors: Hajawiyah Ain , Adhariani Desi , Djakman Chaerul 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the sequential effect of cost of equity capital and corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure with family ownership as a moderating variable.

Design/methodology/approach
This empirical study examines samples of manufacturing firm in Indonesia using multiple regression analysis.

Findings
Firms with high cost of equity capital in previous years have extensive CSR disclosure level. Further, firms with extensive CSR disclosure get benefit of lower cost of equity capital in the following year. Family ownership weakens the effect of previous years cost of equity capital on CSR disclosure. On the other hand, family ownership does not moderate the effect of CSR disclosure on the cost of equity capital.

Research limitations/implications
This study has limitations in terms of CSR measurement using keywords which may not include overall reporting contents. This study also excludes information in sustainability reports and websites, images and scanned files that may provide additional information about the company’s social and environmental activities. This study is limited in terms of the generalization aspect because it only examines firms in one type of industry in one country over three years’ period.

Originality/value
This study provides empirical evidence on the sequential effect of cost of equity capital and CSR disclosure with family ownership as moderating variable from an emerging market context, which has been rarely explored in the previous research.

AbstractWe report the case of an 88‐year‐old Japanese man with erythrodermic involvement of T‐cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T‐PLL). He had a history of pharyngeal diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma successfully treated with polychemotherapy including cyclophosphamide and epirubicin, 6 years before the current illness. He presented with numerous reddish, coalescing, flat‐topped papules on the trunk and extremities, sparing the skin folds of the abdomen, the features of which mimicked those of papuloerythroderma. Immunohistochemistry showed perivascular and epidermotropic infiltration of CD3+ CD4+ T cells in the cutaneous lesion. However, flow cytometric analysis revealed that the skin infiltrating T cells were negative for surface CD4, and that CD3+ CD4− CD8− cells made up 92% of the T‐cell fraction of peripheral blood. The circulating atypical T cells had a round or oval nucleus and prominent nucleoli, and the deletion of chromosomes 6q, 13 and 17. These cytological profiles were consistent with those of T‐PLL and distinct from those of Sézary cells. The same T‐cell clone was detected in the cutaneous lesion and peripheral blood, but the expression of CD62L was absent in the skin infiltrates and present in the circulating cells. No specific mutation was detected in STAT3 or STAT5B. Although low‐dose oral etoposide had a beneficial effect on the skin rash, a fatal crisis of marked leukocytosis (169 × 103/μL) occurred 19 months after the illness onset. CD62L‐leukemic cells of T‐PLL may infiltrate the skin to form papuloerythroderma‐like cutaneous lesions.
In vivo evolution of viral virulence: switching of deformed wing virus between hosts results in virulence changes and sequence shifts
Authors: Gisder Sebastian , Möckel Nadine , Eisenhardt Dorothea , Genersch Elke 
Published: November 2018

SummaryThe health of the Western honey bee is threatened by a global epidemic of deformed wing virus (DWV) infections driven by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor acting as mechanical and biological virus vector. Three different variants of DWV, DWV‐A, ‐B and ‐C exist. Virulence differences between these variants and their relation to V. destructor are still controversially discussed. We performed laboratory experiments to analyze the virulence of DWV directly isolated from crippled bees (DWVP0) or after one additional passage in bee pupae (DWVP1). We demonstrated that DWVP0 was more virulent than DWVP1 for pupae, when pupal mortality was taken as virulence marker, and for adult bees, when neurotropism and cognitive impairment were taken as virulence markers. Phylogenetic analysis supported that DWV exists as quasispecies and showed that DWVP0 clustered with DWV‐B and DWVP1 with DWV‐A when the phylogeny was based on the master sequences of the RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase but not so when it was based on the VP3 region master sequences. We propose that switching of DWV between the bee and the mite host is accompanied by changes in viral sequence, tissue tropism and virulence and that the RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase is involved in determining host range and virulence.

Published: November 2018

SummaryCo‐occurring microorganisms have been proved to influence the performance of each other by metabolic means in nature. Here we generated a synthetic fungal‐bacterial community comprising Penicillium citrinum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa employing the previously described membrane‐separated co‐culture device. By applying a newly designed molecular networking routine, new citrinin‐related metabolites induced by the fungal‐bacterial cross‐talk were unveiled in trace amounts. A mechanically cycled co‐culture setup with external pumping forces accelerating the chemically interspecies communication was then developed to boost the production of cross‐talk‐induced metabolites. Multivariate data analysis combined with molecular networking revealed the accumulation of a pair of co‐culture‐induced molecules whose productions were positively correlated to the exchange rate in the new co‐cultures, facilitating the discovery of the previously undescribed antibiotic citrinolide with a novel skeleton. This highly oxidized citrinin adduct showed significantly enhanced antibiotic property against the partner strain P. aeruginosa than its precursor citrinin, suggesting a role in the microbial competition. Thus, we propose competitive‐advantage‐oriented structural modification driven by microbial defence response mechanism in the interspecies cross‐talk might be a promising approach in the search for novel antibiotics. Besides, this study highlights the utility of MS‐based metabolomics as an effective tool in the direct biochemical analysis of the community metabolism.

Published: November 2018

SummaryThe extent to which differences in microbial community structure result in variations in organic matter (OM) degradation is not well understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that distinct marine microbial communities from North Atlantic surface and bottom waters would exhibit varying compositional succession and functional shifts in response to the same pool of complex high molecular weight (HMW‐OM). We also hypothesized that microbial communities would produce a broader spectrum of enzymes upon exposure to HMW‐OM, indicating a greater potential to degrade these compounds than reflected by initial enzymatic activities. Our results show that community succession in amended mesocosms was congruent with cell growth, increased bacterial production and most notably, with substantial shifts in enzymatic activities. In all amended mesocosms, closely related taxa that were initially rare became dominant at time frames during which a broader spectrum of active enzymes were detected compared to initial timepoints, indicating a similar response among different communities. However, succession on the whole‐community level, and the rates, spectra and progression of enzymatic activities, reveal robust differences among distinct communities from discrete water masses. These results underscore the crucial role of rare bacterial taxa in ocean carbon cycling and the importance of bacterial community structure for HMW‐OM degradation.
Is HIV prevention creating new biosocialities among gay men? Treatment as prevention and pre‐exposure prophylaxis in Canada

Published: November 2018

AbstractThe advancements of “treatment as prevention” (TasP), “undetectable viral load” (UVL) and “pre‐exposure prophylaxis” (PrEP) are redefining HIV prevention standards. Relying on the concept of biosociality, this article explores how gay men rally around, debate, and sometimes disagree about these emerging HIV prevention technologies. This article is based on data from the Resonance Project, a Canadian community‐based research project. Twelve focus groups (totalling 86 gay and bisexual men) were held in three Canadian cities (Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver) in 2013–2014. Respondents view UVL and PrEP through the prism of their generational experience of HIV prevention. In this respect, biosocialities highlight an experiential dimension that is tied to the context of the HIV epidemic. The biosocialities of HIV prevention are also built around serological identities. However, our study shows the diversity of these positions. Analysis grounded in biosocialities is useful for better understanding how scientific information circulates, is made sense of, and generates debate among gay men.
Differential Identification of Three Young Housefire Victims: Methods when Age Assessment Fails
Authors: Nase John B. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractMultiple fatality incidents involving more than one child of statistically same age (including twins) can be challenging from an identification standpoint. This case details an urban fire, in which four children perished. Age assessment on three of the victims utilizing maturity staging described by Moorrees, Fanning, and Hunt yielded insignificant results. However, a plot of the MFH data shows the difference between two identical twins and a third child. The twins share a similar growth pattern, whereas the other was different. Based on this graphical interpretation, the nontwin victim was positively identified through exclusion. These results were verified through statistical testing. This case demonstrates a method to repurpose age assessment data to graphically distinguish between child victims. Further, it is shown that radiographic and clinical presentation in childhood identical twins can elicit genetic versus acquired similarities and differences, which can be used for identification of individuals and exclusion of others.

Published: November 2018

SummaryAimsMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold significant promise as potential therapeutic candidates following cardiac injury. However, to ensure survival of transplanted cells in ischemic environment, it is beneficial to precondition them with growth factors that play important role in cell survival and proliferation. Aim of this study is to use interleukin‐7 (IL‐7), a cell survival growth factor, to enhance the potential of rat bone marrowMSCs in terms of cell fusion in vitro and cardiac function in vivo.MethodsMesenchymal stem cells were transfected withIL‐7 gene through retroviral vector. Normal and transfectedMSCs were co‐cultured with neonatal cardiomyocytes (CMs) and cell fusion was analyzed by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. TheseMSCs were also transplanted in rat model of myocardial infarction (MI) and changes at tissue level and cardiac function were assessed by histological analysis and echocardiography, respectively.ResultsCo‐culture ofIL‐7 transfectedMSCs andCMs showed significantly higher (P < 0.01) number of fused cells as compared to normalMSCs. Histological analysis of hearts transplanted withIL‐7 transfectedMSCs showed significant reduction (P < 0.001) in infarct size and better preservation (P < 0.001) of left ventricular wall thickness as compared to normalMSCs. Presence of cardiac‐specific proteins, α‐actinin, and troponin‐T showed that the transplantedMSCs were differentiated into cardiomyocytes. Echocardiographic recordings of the experimental group transplanted with transfectedMSCs showed significant increase in the ejection fraction and fractional shortening (P < 0.01), and decrease in diastolic and systolic left ventricular internal diameters (P < 0.001) and end systolic and diastolic volumes (P < 0.01 andP < 0.001, respectively).ConclusionInterleukin‐7 is able to enhance the fusogenic properties ofMSCs and improve cardiac function. This improvement may be attributed to the supportive action ofIL‐7 on cell proliferation and cell survival contributing to the regeneration of damaged myocardium.

Published: November 2018

SummaryThe interaction between human protozoan parasites and the immune cells of bivalves, that can accumulate them, is poorly described. The purpose of this study is to consider the mechanisms of action of some of these protozoa on zebra mussel haemocytes, by evaluating their cytotoxic potential. Haemocytes were exposed to Toxoplasma gondii, Giardia duodenalis or Cryptosporidium parvum (oo)cysts. The results showed a cytotoxic potency of the two largest protozoa on haemocytes and suggested the formation of haemocyte aggregates. Thus, this study reveals the first signs of a haemocyte:protozoan interaction.

Published: November 2018

AbstractWilms’ tumour 1 gene (WT1) is essential for the development of mammalian urogenital system. However, the expression pattern of WT1 in the development of porcine urogenital organs is still unclear. Here, we examined the expression of WT1 mRNA and protein in porcine kidneys, ovaries and testes from embryonic days 35 and 60 (E35d, E60d, n = 3) to the newborn (0d, n = 4) and adult (210d, n = 3) stages, using real‐time PCR and immunofluorescent staining. Real‐time PCR analysis showed that porcine kidneys, ovaries and testes all expressed high level of WT1 mRNAs, especially in adult testes (p < 0.05 or 0.01 vs. kidney and ovary, respectively). Morphologically, characteristic microstructures of the kidneys, ovaries and testes were observed and discerned at all four stages. Immunofluorescently, WT1 expression was detected in a dynamic and context‐specific pattern during the development of these organs. Taken together, porcine urogenital organs express relatively high levels of WT1 mRNA. Dynamical and context‐specific expression profile of WT1 in these organs occurs during their development, implying its close association with the development and function of porcine kidney, ovary and testis.
