Understanding a better future: antecedents of market performance
Authors: Haryanto Jony Oktavian , Moutinho Luiz , Aldas-Manzano Joaquin , Hadiansah Ihsan 
Published: May 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to identify the influence of future anticipation toward the development of brand relationship which finally creates brand loyalty. Brand loyalty has fascinated a number of researchers to conduct studies for so many years; however, its relationship with future anticipation has remained untouched by academia.

Design/methodology/approach
This study proved the proposed conceptual model using structural equation modeling. The empirical approximated for the main-effects model and model goodness of fit indexes. The results signified a good fit of the data to our conceptual model in both samples.

Findings
The research shows that the influence of future anticipation is very essential in creating a brand relationship, autobiographical memory or even market performance and all in Asia; also Europe has similar significance with regard to this matter. Thus, it is important for companies to emphasize the importance of future anticipation and also delivers or informs it well to customers to create a positive perception in customers’ mind.

Originality/value
Future anticipation concept is anchored in philosophy theory and psychology. With respect to the study objectives, the focus is on the perspective of time which refers to thought and attitude toward past, present and future. In exploring what kind of behavior is related with future, the authors views are based on the futurology, a concept from sociology that studies generalizations about the nature of prediction. Blending these two theories, the authors elaborate a conceptual framework for the study of future anticipation and brand loyalty.
Interplay between P-O fit, transformational leadership and organizational social capital
Authors: Raja Usman , Bouckenooghe Dave , Syed Fauzia , Naseer Saima 
Published: May 2018

PurposeUsing social identity theory, the authors hypothesize that transformational leadership (TL) leads to better person-organization fit (P-O fit), which in turn contributes to the emergence of organizational social capital (i.e. OSC). Furthermore, the authors suggest that the relationship between P-O fit and OSC is contingent upon the level of TL. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approachField study data were used to test the hypotheses. In total, 336 employees from eight different service sector organizations in Pakistan participated in this study. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze the data.FindingsIn support of the hypotheses, the authors found that TL was positively related to both P-O fit and OSC. Also, P-O fit mediated the TL-OSC relationship. Finally, TL moderated the relationship between P-O fit and OSC.Research limitations/implicationsCross-sectional data were collected through self-reports, which raises concerns of reporting bias.Practical implicationsManagers can benefit from the study by focusing on TL as a vehicle for not only achieving change, but also for creating an environment that facilitates better P-O fit and enhanced OSC.Social implicationsThis study provided a rare opportunity to examine the proposed relationships in a developing country. This enhances our insight into the efficacy of theories that have been mainly developed and tested in developed countries.Originality/valuePrevious research hypothesized P-O fit as a mediator between leadership and performance, yet failed to receive support. The current study is unique by demonstrating that TL, as a relational leadership style, contributes to building an important resource (OSC) through the mediating effect of P-O fit.
External growth strategies and organizational performance in emerging markets

Published: May 2018

PurposeInter-organizational trust has a vital role in any external trade relationship. However, there are not many studies relating to growth strategies and inter-organizational trust in firms in emerging markets. The purpose of this paper is to identify and compare the effect of external growth strategies on the organizational performance of companies and to examine the mediating role of inter-organizational trust between growth strategies and organizational performance.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 240 senior managers from public listed companies (PLCs) in Malaysia and were analyzed using analysis of a moment structures.FindingsThe findings indicate that growth strategies have a significant effect on organizational performance. Strategic alliances and acquisitions also have significant effects on organizational performance. Moreover, inter-organizational trust fully mediates the effect of growth strategies on organizational performance.Research limitations/implicationsAs purposive sampling was used, selecting only managers with experience of the issues concerned, any common findings are likely to be generalizable to managers in similar situations.Practical implicationsBuilding inter-organizational trust among companies and relying on strategic alliance and acquisition, rather than merger, will sharpen their competitiveness and enable them to survive and thrive.Social implicationsThe increase in organizational performance of PLCs will have a significant effect on employment and on gross domestic product (GDP), which will have a beneficial effect on citizens.Originality/valueStudies that are related to these variables in emerging economies are still in their infancy. This study compared the effect of external growth strategies and contributed to the literature in the area of trust and external growth strategies.
The value of food safety culture to the hospitality industry
Authors: Manning Louise 
Published: May 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to review existing literature in the discipline of food hospitality with specific emphasis on the interaction between food safety management, food safety management systems (FSMS) and food safety culture. It is the first paper in a theme issue of Worldwide Hospitality and Tourism Themes, discussing the importance of measuring food safety and quality culture.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper examines academic literature on FSMS and food safety culture and emerging tools and methods being used to determine their efficacy.

Findings
FSMS provide a framework for determining the resources required and the procedures and protocols, monitoring and verification necessary to deliver safe food. However, a performance gap has been identified in the literature between intended and actual food safety practice. The factors, rituals and behaviours that mediate this divide have been termed by many as “food safety culture”. It has been shown that food safety knowledge does not necessarily lead to behaviour that promotes food safety. Thus, the knowledge–experience–attitude–behaviour dynamic of food safety culture is of crucial importance and worthy of further empirical study in the hospitality industry.

Originality/value
The paper will be of value to practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders involved in the hospitality industry.
Food safety culture – the food inspectors’ perspective
Authors: Nayak Rounaq , Taylor Joanne Zaida 
Published: May 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the challenges for food inspectors when attempting to assess the food safety culture of a business. It is the eighth article in this issue of Worldwide Hospitality and Tourism Themes, discussing the importance of measuring food safety and quality culture.

Design/methodology/approach
As part of a larger research project, 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the current challenges faced by food inspectors in assessing food safety and the future prospects of measuring food safety culture in the UK food system.

Findings
Food inspectors face increasing challenges in their role of assessing not just the visible level of legal compliance but also potential risk within a food business; while aware of the importance of food safety culture, they are unsure how to formally assess it. The UK Food Standards Agency developed a toolkit to assist inspectors in assessing the food safety culture of a business; however, this has been found to be onerous and difficult to implement in practice.

Originality/value
This paper will be of value to practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders involved in the hospitality industry.

Published: May 2018

AbstractA subcutaneous tumor accompanied by tenderness has a myriad of differential diagnoses. Indeed, using physical findings alone to achieve a diagnosis is often challenging. In this study, we focused on schwannomas and angioleiomyomas, which usually develop as hard subcutaneous tumors and are often associated with tenderness. We aimed to determine significant differentiating features between the tumor types, using ultrasonography. We compared clinical findings and ultrasonographic imaging and calculated the statistical significance for each item. In total, we analyzed 11 schwannomas and 13 angioleiomyomas of the extremities, trunk and head. There was no significant difference in patient characteristics or clinical findings. Meanwhile, the mean maximum diameter (P = 0.002), localization (P = 0.04) and entering or exiting nerves (P = 0.01) were significantly different according to ultrasonography findings. Thus, ultrasonography provides excellent information for the initial assessment of a slow‐growing, painful, subcutaneous soft tissue mass. According to our study, it is difficult to identify a single, differentiating feature between angioleiomyoma and schwannoma on ultrasonography, but including multiple findings during the work‐up can facilitate differential diagnosis.
How Interspersion Affects Class Relations
Authors: Garrido Marco 
Published: May 2018

AbstractScholars have identified a new configuration of spatial inequality in several of the largest cities in the developing world. This configuration, which I label interspersion, is characterized by the general proximity of classed spaces, particularly ‘slums’ and ‘enclaves’. There is disagreement about how interspersion affects class relations. One side argues that it worsens class relations by foreclosing substantive class interaction; the other side maintains that it improves class relations by enabling greater class interaction. I argue that it is not the extent but the form of class interaction that matters. Interspersion worsens class relations by promoting categorically unequal interaction. It provides regular opportunities for the imposition of spatial boundaries on slum residents. Regular experiences of boundary imposition deepen their sense of discrimination. This argument is based on an ethnographic study of the relations between slum and enclave residents in Metro Manila.
Utilization of X‐ray Computed Tomography for the Exclusion of a Specific Caliber and Bullet Type in a Living Shooting Victim
Authors: Marais Adriaan A. S. , Dicks Herman J. 
Published: May 2018

AbstractA bystander claimed to have been shot by a police officer, and CT scans were used to match qualitative and quantitative aspects of the unremoved bullet with police issued 9 mm Luger ammunition. CT scan methodology proved a valid approach for the measurement of bullets based on calculated measurement capability and correlation with “gold standard” physical measurement by vernier caliper. Measurements regarding length and base diameter, as well as length/diameter ratio, were insufficient to unambiguously identify a specific caliber, or a bullet of specific mass within a caliber class. It was, however, possible to exclude a bullet of specific design and mass with well‐characterized precision and accuracy values under selected CT scan conditions. A 9 mm Luger bullet (115 gr FMJ RN) was excluded from involvement in a shooting based on qualitative bullet shape combined with length, base, and ratio measurements of the bullet in‐situ for the victim.
Z‐Transform Method for Pairwise Osteometric Pair‐matching,
Authors: Warnke‐Sommer Julia D. , Lynch Jeffrey James , Pawaskar Sachin S. , Damann Franklin E. 
Published: May 2018

AbstractA new pairwise osteometric pair‐matching approach based on the Z‐transform method is presented. In contrast to previous methods that perform a global t‐test on the summed skeletal element pair measurement distances, this approach performs t‐tests on each individual distance, facilitating the capture of measurement‐specific variation. This new approach is compared to published pairwise sorting methods using a standard reference dataset of postcranial remains maintained by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicates significantly improved performance for the clavicle and radius over all previous methods (p < 0.01). The z‐transform method weighted by the effect size outperformed the t‐test (Byrd and Adams) and the mean t‐test (Lynch) for all elements (p < 0.01). The method performed better than the absolute value t‐test (Lynch) for five elements (p < 0.01) and performed at least as well for the remainder. To facilitate usability all methods are available at: https://github.com/spawaskar-cora/z-transform-method.
Effects of Human Electro‐Muscular Incapacitation (HEMI) Devices on Cardiovascular Changes in Anesthetized Swine as Measured by Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)

Published: May 2018

AbstractThe abundance of, and reliance upon, human electro‐muscular incapacitation (HEMI) devices, especially in law enforcement, has generated scrutiny and examination of these technologies. The purpose of this study was to examine cardiovascular effects resulting from typical (5 sec) and longer activation (20 sec) HEMI applications studying myocardial function and peripheral vascular system using a combination of invasive cardiovascular catheters and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Six healthy swine (Sus scrofa) 3–5 months in age and weighing between 60 and 86 kg were anesthetized and exposed to the TASER Model X26 waveform while transesophageal echocardiography was performed. Stroke volume was shown to statistically decrease during HEMI application indicating an increase in systemic vascular resistance, but HEMI application did not result in myocardial dysfunction (“cardiac stunning”).

AbstractBackgroundHospitalization for low‐risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is common, expensive, and of questionable benefit.ObjectiveThe objective was to determine if low‐risk PE patients discharged from the emergency department (ED) on rivaroxaban require fewer hospital days compared to standard of care (SOC).MethodsMulticenter, open‐label randomized trial in low‐risk PE defined by Hestia criteria. Adult subjects were randomized to early ED discharge on rivaroxaban or SOC. Primary outcome was total number of initial hospital hours, plus hours of hospitalization for bleeding or venous thromboembolism (VTE), 30 days after randomization. A 90‐day composite safety endpoint was defined as major bleeding, clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding, and mortality.ResultsOf 114 randomized subjects, 51 were early discharge and 63 were SOC. Of 112 (98.2%) receiving at least one dose of study drug, 99 (86.8%) completed the study. Initial hospital LOS was 4.8 hours versus 33.6 hours, with a mean difference of –28.8 hours (95% confidence interval [CI] = –42.55 to –15.12 hours) for early discharge versus SOC, respectively. At 90 days, mean total hospital days (for any reason) were less for early discharge than SOC, 19.2 hours versus 43.2 hours, with a mean difference of 26.4 hours (95% CI = –46.97 to –3.34 hours). At 90 days, there were no bleeding events, recurrent VTE, or deaths. The composite safety endpoint was similar in both groups, with a difference in proportions of 0.005 (95% CI = –0.18 to 0.19). Total costs were $1,496 for early discharge and $4,234 for SOC, with a median difference of $2,496 (95% CI = –$2,999 to –$2,151).ConclusionsLow‐risk ED PE patients receiving early discharge on rivaroxaban have similar outcomes to SOC, but fewer total hospital days and lower costs over 30 days.
pH changes in radicular dentine associated with calcium hydroxide and corticosteroid/antibiotic pastes
Authors: Cai Michael , Abbott Paul , Castro Salgado Jacqueline 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThe aim was to compare hydroxyl ion diffusion through dentine following placement of calcium hydroxide and Ledermix paste. Thirty‐six teeth were divided into one control (n = 6) and three experimental (n = 10) groups – (i) Pulpdent paste; (ii) Pulpdent/Ledermix pastes; (iii) Ledermix paste and (iv) Saline. pH was measured in inner and outer dentine cavities over 12 months. Inner dentine time to maximum pH (Tmax) was 1 week for Pulpdent and 2 weeks for Pulpdent/Ledermix. Pulpdent's outer dentine Tmax was 4 weeks and Pulpdent/Ledermix was 10 weeks. After day 1, Pulpdent pH was higher and this continued for 12 months. Pulpdent's outer dentine pH was higher than Ledermix and controls, but not significantly different from Pulpdent/Ledermix. Pulpdent/Ledermix had significantly higher pH than controls and Ledermix from day 5 until 10 months when Pulpdent/Ledermix outer dentine pH decreased and became similar. In all groups, pH reduced after 3 months.

ProblemInfection‐induced endometritis is associated with infertility. The outcome with oral antibiotics remains poor. This study therefore investigates the role of ascorbic acid in resolving endometritis.Method of StudyAnimals with established oestrus cycles were inoculated withEscherichia coli. Two days post‐inoculation, the animals were administered ascorbic acid (10, 100 and 1000 mg/kg) and amoxicillin (500 mg/kg) for 5 days. Other groups included water only andE. coliinoculated with no treatment. Body temperatures, weights and vaginal cytology were examined. On the sixth day, after anaesthesia, blood samples were obtained for haematological analysis. Uterine organs were weighed, ex‐vivo functionality analysed and histopathological analysis performed.ResultsAscorbic acid (AA) (100 and 1000 mg/kg) regularized the cycle of the endometritic animals comparable to amoxicillin.AA(1000 mg/kg) and amoxicillin, significantly decreased (P < .05) the endometritis‐induced increase in uterine weights, restored the endometrial architecture and significantly (P < .05) normalized uterine contractions to control values. Improved haematological profiles were additionally observed on treatment with ascorbic acid (100 and 1000 mg/kg).ConclusionAAcompared favourably with amoxicillin in endometritis management, suggesting thatAAcan be used in the management of infection‐induced endometritis, normal cycling and normal uterine function.

AbstractObjectivesCerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is characterized by strategic white matter (WM) hyperintensities on MRI. Pathological features include WM degeneration, arteriolosclerosis, lacunar infarcts, and the deposition of granular osmiophilic material. Based on the hypothesis that the gliovascular unit is compromised, we assessed the nature of astrocyte damage in the deep WM of CADASIL subjects.MethodsWe evaluated post‐mortem brains from CADASIL, cerebral small vessel disease, similar age cognitively normal and older control subjects. Standard immunohistochemical, immunofluorescent, and unbiased stereological methods were used to evaluate the distribution of astrocytes, microvessels, and autophagy markers in five different brain regions.ResultsCompared to the controls, the deep WM of CADASIL subjects overall showed increased numbers of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)‐positive clasmatodendritic astrocytes (P=0.037) and a decrease in the percentage of normal appearing astrocytes (P=0.025). In accord with confluent WM hyperintensities, the anterior temporal pole contained abundant clasmatodendritic astrocytes with displaced aquaporin 4 immunoreactivity. Remarkably, we also found strong evidence for the immunolocalization of autophagy markers including microtubule‐associated protein 1, light chain 3 (LC3), and sequestosome 1/p62 and Caspase‐3 in GFAP‐positive clasmatodendritic cells, particularly within perivascular regions of the deep WM. LC3 was co‐localized in more than 90% of the GFAP‐positive clasmatodendrocytes.ConclusionsOur novel findings show astrocytes undergo autophagy‐like cell death in CADASIL, with the anterior temporal pole being highly vulnerable. We propose astrocytes transform from normal appearing type A to hypertrophic type B and eventually to clasmatodendritic type C cells. These observations also suggest the gliovascular unit of the deep WM is severely impaired in CADASIL.
