Authors: Luonila Mervi , Kinnunen Maarit 
Published: October 2019

PurposeTo make sense of the relationship between the festival attendance and the aims in arts festival management, the purpose of this paper is to explore the key characteristics for success and analyze the perceptions of the future in arts festival productions.Design/methodology/approachThis qualitative study uses interviews with festival managers and empathy-based stories (MEBS) written by members of festival audience. Discourse analysis is employed for answering the questions: What are the characteristics of a successful festival, and what could ruin it?FindingsThe paper highlights the importance of interaction with the audience orchestrated by the festival organization. Such interaction co-constructs a more holistic festival experience valued by both parties, which supports the sustainability and future success.Research limitations/implicationsThe research data are limited to one country, and music festivals dominate the data.Practical implicationsAmong managers, there is a need to consider audiences as consumers and as producers in the current competitive climate in the arts and cultural field and clarify the role of the audience as a partner in the networked festival production by placing the attendee at the core of the strategic planning process of arts festivals.Originality/valueThe research combines the views of the demand-and-supply side. It adds to the knowledge in arts and festival management by exploring the relationship between attendance and the aims of arts festival management in general, and the key characteristics of success in the arts festival context in particular. MEBS offers new interesting opportunities for future research in qualitative festival research.
The role of banking regulation in the development of Islamic banking financing in Indonesia
Authors: Nastiti Nur Dyah , Kasri Rahmatina Awaliah 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The 2015 global economic crisis has triggered the issuance of several banking regulations in Indonesia, including those related to temporary stimulus for Islamic banks and branchless banking (fintech). However, few studies attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of such regulations. Thus, this study aims to determine the role and assess the effectiveness of such banking regulations.

Design/methodology/approach
The data used cover all 12 Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia during the stimulus period of Q3.2015 to Q2.2017. The variables included were banks’ fundamental factors (Islamic financing, capital adequacy ratio, investment, non-performing financing, return on asset, efficiency, financing deposit ratio and fintech) and macroeconomic variables (inflation, exchange rate and money supply). The model was analyzed by using multiple linear regressions with generalized least square estimation technique.

Findings
The main finding suggests that the stimulus regulation indeed played a positive role in the acceleration of Islamic bank financing. However, the fintech-related regulation was not yet effective to achieve the goal, at least in the short term. Furthermore, the study found that return of assets, operational efficiency, financing deposit ratio and money supply also influenced Islamic financing.

Practical implications
For policymakers, the effectiveness of the temporary stimulus in accelerating Islamic banking financing and preventing the possible negative impacts of the external crisis provides indications that the regulator could conduct similar policy in the future. More generally, the findings are also expected to enrich Islamic banking literature.

Originality/value
This is possibly one of the few studies to investigate the role and effectiveness of banking regulations on Islamic banking financing in Indonesia.
Application of Linked Open Data to the coding and dissemination of Spanish Civil War photographic archives
Authors: Robledano-Arillo Jesús , Navarro-Bonilla Diego , Cerdá-Díaz Julio 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual model for coding and dissemination of data associated with historical photographic archives. The model is based on Linked Open Data technology and seeks to exhaustively represent the most relevant characteristics for the tasks of contextualization of the documentary groupings and units, management, document retrieval, dissemination and sharing of data about the historical photographs.

Design/methodology/approach
An OWL ontology, called Ontophoto, was constructed following an adaptation of the methodology proposed by Uschold and Gruninger and Gruninger and Fox. The ontology was implemented using Protégé 5.5 software. Next a Graph DB® graph database application (Ontotext) was created to generate a query system based on the SPARQL language. To validate the consistency and effectiveness of the model and ontology, a competency questions methodology has been applied using a sample from the Skogler photographic archive.

Findings
The model facilitates the generation of systems for dissemination and retrieval of iconographic data for historical research, overcoming some of the limitations with respect to the design of methods of content and contextual information representation for heritage photographic archives.

Research limitations/implications
This study is based on a sample. Future work should consider the implementation of the model on the totality of a photographic collection.

Originality/value
This paper presents a comprehensive ontological model that allows the creation of distributed systems of knowledge representation, which can be queried through SPARQL language.
The impact of ISO 26000 social responsibility standard adoption on firm financial performance
Authors: Chakroun Salma , Salhi Bassem , Ben Amar Anis , Jarboui Anis 
Published: October 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the ISO 26000 (global corporate social responsibility standard) adoption and financial performance. The current study aims to explore whether ISO 26000 social responsibility standard adoption has an impact on financial performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on a sample consisting of French companies listed on the CAC-All-Tradable index for the period 2010-2017. This study is motivated by using panel data estimated feasible generalized least squares method.FindingsThe results show that that good corporate governance can improve the financial performance. This positive impact is also noticed in the case of labor relations and conditions, environment and community involvement. However, it does not apply to human rights, fair operating practices and consumer issues, as there is no significant relationship between these dimensions and the financial performance.Practical implicationsThe findings may be of interest to the academic researchers, investors and regulators. For academic researchers, it is interested in discovering how the adoption of ISO 26000 can improve financial performance. For investors, the results show that it is appropriate for different countries to adopt the ISO 26000 guidelines and introduce societal practices in their activities.Originality/valueThis paper extends the existing literature by examining the effect of the ISO 26000 standard for financial performance in the French context. The study of corporate social responsibility through its seven societal dimensions has enabled us to understand the guidelines relating to the ISO 26000 standard.
Does CEO power moderate the link between ESG performance and financial performance?
Authors: Velte Patrick 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
Based on stakeholder and upper echelons theory, this study aims to analyze whether the link between environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and financial performance is moderated by chief executive officer (CEO) power.

Design/methodology/approach
Listed corporations with reference to the German two-tier system (HDAX and SDAX) for the business years 2010-2018 (775 firm-year observations) have been included. Fixed effects panel regression analysis was conducted to analyze the link between ESG performance (in total and its three pillars) and financial performance (ROA), with special reference to the interaction of a CEO power index.

Findings
While ESG performance has a positive impact on financial performance, the link is more pronounced by CEO power. Thus, in line with prior research on the one-tier system, CEO incentives can positively contribute to the CSR-business case in the German two-tier system. The results remain constant after conducting several robustness checks.

Originality/value
A key contribution to the empirical CSR literature can be stated, as the moderating role of CEO power in the ESG–financial performance link is rather neglected in prior studies. Thus, corporate governance and sustainability should be classified as interactive aspects for the business case of a successful stakeholder management.
Race, criminalization, and embedded discrimination in immigration court
Authors: VanNatta Michelle 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
As the US criminal justice system and immigration system increasingly interconnect, even immigration policy that is facially race-neutral may involve biased practices. The purpose of this paper is to examine how institutional racism in criminal legal processes creates particular barriers for many individuals of Latin American and/or African descent facing deportation proceedings in US immigration courts, particularly in assertions regarding gang affiliation.

Design/methodology/approach
This research is based on ethnographic observation. The work utilized a grounded theory approach. The observation took place at public master calendar hearings at a Midwestern immigration court between 2013 and 2015, yielding over 400 pages of fieldnotes that were coded and analyzed for patterns.

Findings
Non-citizens in the USA, including lawful permanent residents, are subject to deportation if labeled “criminal.” Racial profiling and criminalization of communities of color create heightened risk of deportation. Assumptions that common tattoos or urban fashion indicate criminality, reliance on Facebook posts to “prove” gang membership, and the use of arrest records as evidence of criminality even if charges were dropped all put immigrants of Latin American and/or African descent at heightened risk.

Research limitations/implications
The ethnographic method used has strong validity but weaker reliability and generalizability.

Practical implications
This paper can help analysts, policymakers and advocates consider how to adapt systems to increase equity.

Originality/value
This research provides direct examples and ethnographic evidence of how race and cultural bias in criminal legal processes and immigration policies can affect people in deportation proceedings.
AI in talent acquisition: a review of AI-applications used in recruitment and selection
Authors: Albert Edward Tristram 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the current use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the recruitment and selection of candidates. More specifically, this research investigates the level, rate and potential adoption areas for AI-tools across the hiring process.

Design/methodology/approach
To fulfill that purpose, a two-step approach was adopted. First, the literature was extensively reviewed to identify potential AI-application areas supporting the recruitment and selection (R&S) process. Second, primary research was carried out in the form of semi-structured thematic interviews with different types of R&S specialists including HR managers, consultants and academics to evaluate how much of the AI-applications areas identified in the literature review are being used in practice.

Findings
This study presents a multitude of findings. First, it identifies 11 areas across the R&S Process where AI-applications can be applied. However, practitioners currently seem to rely mostly on three: chatbots, screening software and task automation tools. Second, most companies adopting these AI-tools tend to be larger, tech-focussed and/or innovative firms. Finally, despite the exponential rate of AI-adoption, companies have yet to reach an inflection point as they currently show reluctance to invest in that technology for R&S.

Research limitations/implications
Due to the qualitative and exploratory nature behind the research, this study displays a significant amount of subjectivity, and therefore, lacks generalisability. Despite this limitation, this study opens the door to many opportunities for academic research, both qualitative and quantitative.

Originality/value
This paper addresses the huge research gap surrounding AI in R&S, pertaining specifically to the scarcity and poor quality of the current academic literature. Furthermore, this research provides a comprehensive overview of the state of AI in R&S, which will be helpful for academics and practitioners looking to rapidly gain a holistic understanding of AI in R&S.

Reduced redox‐dependent mechanism and glucose‐mediated reversal in gentamicin‐resistant Vibrio alginolyticus
Authors: Zhang Song , Wang Jie , Jiang Ming , Xu Di , Peng Bo , Peng Xuan‐xian , Li Hui 
Published: October 2019

SummaryStrategy of managing antibiotic‐resistant Vibrio alginolyticus, a bacterial pathogen that threatens human health and animal farming, is not available due to the lack of knowledge about the underlying mechanism of antibiotic resistance. Here, we showed that gentamicin‐resistant V. alginolyticus (VA‐RGEN) has four mutations on metabolism and one mutation on a two‐component system by whole‐genome and PCR‐based sequencing, indicating the metabolic shift in VA‐RGEN. Thus, metabolic profile was investigated by GC–MS based metabolomics. Glucose was identified as a crucial biomarker, whose abundance was decreased in VA‐RGEN. Further analysis with iPath, and gene expression and enzyme activity of the pyruvate cycle (the P cycle) demonstrated a global depressed metabolic pathway network in VA‐RGEN. Consistently, NADH, sodium‐pumping NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Na(+)‐NQR) system, membrane potential and intracellular gentamicin were decreased in VA‐RGEN. These findings indicate that the reduced redox state contributes to antibiotic resistance. Interestingly, exogenous glucose potentiated gentamicin to efficiently kill VA‐RGEN through the promotion of the P cycle, NADH, membrane potential and intracellular gentamicin. The potentiation was further confirmed in a zebrafish model. These results indicate that the gentamicin resistance reduces the P cycle and Na(+)‐NQR system and thereby decreases redox state, membrane potential and gentamicin uptake, which can be reversed by exogenous glucose.
Fear and Loathing (of others): Race, Class and Contestation of Space in Washington, DC
Authors: Summers Brandi Thompson , Howell Kathryn 
Published: October 2019

AbstractOur article explores the cultural politics of public space and the placemaking politics of urban redevelopment in the Atlas District of Washington, DC, a popular commercial district undergoing rapid gentrification. The major questions we address are, how do race and class impact the ways public space is controlled and/or managed in the context of rapid changes in the built, economic and social environments of the neighborhood? What role do those narratives play in justifying changes in and management of public space? We focus on uses of public space and describe how various forms of power are linked to the control of space in the context of gentrification. Our analysis focuses on designated public space in the Atlas District—the Starburst Plaza. By analyzing everyday practices around community control at the Starburst Plaza, this case study focuses on the discrete methods by which the symbolic and material inequities promulgated by the neoliberal state are reconfigured through struggles to define and manage contested public spaces.

SummaryBackgroundPatients with IBD are at risk of excess corticosteroids.AimsTo assess steroid excess in a large IBD cohort and test associations with quality improvement and prescribing.MethodsSteroid exposure was recorded for outpatients attending 19 centres and associated factors analysed. Measures taken to avoid excess were assessed.ResultsOf 2385 patients, 28% received steroids in the preceding 12 months. 14.8% had steroid excess or dependency. Steroid use was significantly lower at ‘intervention centres’ which participated in a quality improvement programme (exposure: 23.8% vs 31.0%, P < .001; excess 11.5% vs 17.1%, P < .001). At intervention centres, steroid use fell from 2015 to 2017 (steroid exposure 30.0%‐23.8%, P = .003; steroid excess 13.8%‐11.5%, P = .17). Steroid excess was judged avoidable in 50.7%. Factors independently associated with reduced steroid excess in Crohn's disease included maintenance with anti‐TNF agents (OR 0.61 [95% CI 0.24‐0.95]), treatment in a centre with a multi‐disciplinary team (OR 0.54 [95% CI 0.20‐0.86]) and treatment at an intervention centre (OR 0.72 [95% CI 0.46‐0.97]). Treatment with 5‐ASA in CD was associated with higher rates of steroid excess (OR 1.72 [95% CI 1.24‐2.09]). In ulcerative colitis (UC), thiopurine monotherapy was associated with steroid excess (OR 1.97 [95% CI 1.19‐3.01]) and treatment at an intervention centre with less steroid excess (OR 0.72 [95% CI 0.45‐0.95]).ConclusionsThis study validates steroid assessment as a meaningful quality measure and provides a benchmark for this performance indicator in a large cohort. A programme of quality improvement was associated with lower steroid use.

SummaryPatients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) for whom the benefits of lenalidomide have been exhausted in early treatment lines need effective therapies. In cohort A of the phase 2 MM‐014 trial, we examined the safety and efficacy of pomalidomide plus low‐dose dexamethasone immediately after lenalidomide‐based treatment failure in patients with RRMM and two prior lines of therapy. Pomalidomide 4 mg was given on days 1 to 21 of 28‐day cycles. Dexamethasone 40 mg (20 mg for patients aged >75 years) was given on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of 28‐day cycles. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR), and secondary endpoints included progression‐free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. The intention‐to‐treat population comprised 56 patients; all received prior lenalidomide (87·5% lenalidomide refractory) and 39 (69·6%) received prior bortezomib. ORR was 32·1% (28·2% in the prior‐bortezomib subgroup). Median PFS was 12·2 months (7·9 months in the prior‐bortezomib subgroup). Median OS was 41·7 months (38·6 months in the prior‐bortezomib subgroup). The most common grade 3/4 treatment‐emergent adverse events were anaemia (25·0%), pneumonia (14·3%) and fatigue (14·3%). These findings support earlier sequencing of pomalidomide‐based therapy in lenalidomide‐pretreated patients with RRMM, including those who have become refractory to lenalidomide.Trial registration: www.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01946477.
