Workplace spirituality, work-family conflict and intention to stay
Authors: Aboobaker Nimitha , Edward Manoj , Zakkariya K.A. 
Published: July 2019

PurposeTeaching is generally seen as a calling, rather than just a formal profession. In the context of commercialization of higher education, with increased workloads and lack of community relationships, the purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of employees’ experience of workplace spirituality on intention to stay with the organization, mediated through work–family conflict. The study seeks to add to theory development in the area of workplace spirituality and its outcomes, by examining the theoretical framework through the lens of self-determination theory of motivation.Design/methodology/approachThis descriptive study was conducted among a sample of 350 teachers, working in the private sector higher educational institutes in India, selected through purposive sampling. Validated and widely accepted tests were administered among the respondents and structural equation modeling was done to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe findings of the study suggest that amongst the current generation of teachers, experience of workplace spirituality and work–family conflict (WFC) plays a significant role in predicting intention to stay with the organization. Employees’ experience of dimensions of workplace spirituality had varying influences on WFC and intention to stay with the organization. WFC mediated the relationships between two dimensions of workplace spirituality (meaningful work and sense of community) and intention to stay, but not the relationship between alignment with organizational values and intention to stay.Originality/valueThis study is pioneering in conceptualizing and testing a theoretical model linking workplace spirituality, work–family conflict and intention to stay, particularly through the self-determination motivational theory perspective. To improve employees’ intention to stay with the organizations, managers need to devise strategies aimed at facilitating connectedness and lowered WFC. Personalized work–family policies might be the need of the hour, as to contain the inherent WFC in contemporary organizations.
Explaining the measurement and evaluation stasis
Authors: Nothhaft Howard , Stensson Hanna 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explain the “evaluation deadlock” or “stasis” diagnosed by many authors. The explanation relies on a thought experiment.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper is conceptual and builds on a thought experiment inspired by qualitative research such as interviews with communication consultants in Sweden. It makes use of principal–agent theory and Akerlof’s theory of lemon markets.

Findings
A plausible explanation for the evaluation stasis requires consideration of practitioners’ self-interest as businesspeople. The deadlock is explained by an anomaly in practitioner populations and passive or active but covert resistance. If the long-time neglect of measurement and evaluation has led to expectation inflation and overpromising, even well-performing actors might shy away from rigorous measurement and evaluation practices in their own mandates, since they fear being measured against promotional, not realistic standards. At the same time, on the level of industry discourse, these practitioners would still advocate for measurement and evaluation in principle, so as to avoid the suspicion of underperformance.

Research limitations/implications
The paper suggests an explanation for further empirical investigation. It does not attempt to demonstrate anything else than that the suggestion is plausible and that it warrants further investigation.

Practical implications
The scientific community engaged in the measurement and evaluation debate appears puzzled by the discrepancy between practitioners’ words and actions. The authors hope that the paper contributes to a more realistic and thus more constructive dialogue between practitioners and academics in the measurement and evaluation debate.

Originality/value
Inspired by Alvesson and Spicer’s concept of functional stupidity, the paper argues that attempts to explain the evaluation stasis have been marked by circumspection and narrowness. At present, explanations for the evaluation stasis tend to focus on lack of knowledge or inadequate systems or frameworks. The paper offers a more comprehensive explanation.

Authors: Jamshidi Dariyoush , Kazemi Fazlollah 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
One of the main challenge when launching new banking services is to overcome resistance to change so as to accelerate market acceptance. This is the case of an Islamic credit card (ICC). Grounded in innovation diffusion theory (IDT) and theory of reasoned action (TRA), this paper aims to study the purposes and empirically tests an integrated model to explore, which factors influence of ICC.

Design/methodology/approach
Partial least squares and structural equation modeling was used to assess the hypotheses. Accordingly, the empirical results, obtained in a sample of 762 bank customers.

Findings
Intentions to use of ICC are mostly determined by relative advantage, compatibility, customer awareness, satisfaction and attitude. The combination of IDT and TRA significantly explain the ICC adoption.

Originality/value
This research has provided a theoretical understanding of the ICC adoption determinants with the intent of promoting a more in-depth understanding of various elements influencing acceptance and usage of this Islamic banking service.

Authors: Ratnawati Alifah , Kholis Noor 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that were considered important by Muslim BPJS participants of service quality received when using BPJS Health card for hospitalization services.

Design/methodology/approach
The sample consisted of 250 respondents that came from five hospitals in Indonesia. The variables used in this study modify SERVQUAL, PAKSERV and CARTER models.

Findings
The results of this study indicate that there are ten factors that are considered very important by Muslim BPJS participants for hospitalization service, with the dominant variables of each factor being sincerity/sincerity of employees in serving BPJS participants, the amount of drugs cost borne by BPJS participants, cleanliness in the hospital building, tabligh attitude in serving BPJS participants (wise and right on target), reputation of BPJS doctors in the hospitals, affordability of the hospital location, compliance and accuracy of payment claim/treatment for BPJS patients, BPJS compliance with Islamic principles, the ability of BPJS to reliably deliver promised services and availability of mosque at BPJS referral hospital.

Originality/value
The new factors that have emerged are location access, information and availability of praying facilities. The sincerity and formality factors are considered very important by the Muslim community when using BPJS Health card for hospitalization service.
Social marketing interventions: insights from a system dynamics simulation model
Authors: Saunders Stephen Graham , Truong V. Dao 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the dynamic nature of behaviour change over time and to gain insights into the effectiveness of social marketing efforts at three different intervention points under three different delay time conditions.

Design/methodology/approach
A system dynamics simulation modelling approach was used.

Findings
The findings showed that the effectiveness of social marketing interventions at different points of intervention and delay times is dependent on complex dynamic system interactions and feedback loops.

Research limitations/implications
As the dynamic simulation model was an abstraction or simplified representation, it was only useful to gain insights into generalised patterns of behaviour over time.

Practical implications
The paper provided practical guidance to social marketers’ intent on gaining insights into “where to do” and “when to do” social marketing rather than “how to do” social marketing.

Originality/value
The paper provided theoretical and practical insights into the temporal nature of behaviour change and the effectiveness of social marketing interventions in influencing behaviour over time.
Institutional investors’ investment preference and monitoring: evidence from Malaysia
Authors: Tee Chwee Ming 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the investment preference of various types of institutional investors in Malaysia, and its influence on firm valuation, operating performance and capital expenditure.

Design/methodology/approach
This study employs ordinary least squares model to examine: investment preference according to different types of institutional investors; the association between various types of institutional investors and firm valuation; the association between various types of institutional investors and firm performance; and the association between various types of institutional investors and capital expenditure.

Findings
The result shows that different types of institutional investors exhibit different investment preference. From the domiciles perspective, local institutional investors (LII) are found to be associated with higher Tobin’s Q, ROA and net profit margin. When viewed from business relationship perspective, “pressure-resistant” institutional investors (PRII) are positively associated with Tobin’s Q, ROA and net profit margin. Both LII and PRII are also associated with higher capital expenditure.

Originality/value
This study reveals the investment preferences of various types of institutional investors in an emerging market economy. The results show that institutional monitoring is associated with higher firm valuation, higher firm performance and higher capital expenditure. However, the effect is largely driven by local and PRII, particularly government-controlled institutional funds. These evidence suggest that different firm outcomes between emerging and advanced economy can be explained by variation in institutional setting.
Intelligent tutoring systems and learning performance
Authors: Yuce Ali , Abubakar A. Mohammed , Ilkan Mustafa 
Published: July 2019

PurposeIntelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are a supplemental educational tool that offers great benefits to students and teachers. The systems are designed to focus on an individual’s characteristics, needs and preferences in an effort to improve student outcomes. Despite the potential benefits of such systems, little work has been done to investigate the impact of ITS on users. To provide a more nuanced understanding of the effectiveness of ITS, the purpose of this paper is to explore the role of several ITS parameters (i.e. knowledge, system, service quality and task–technology fit (TTF)) in motivating, satisfying and helping students to improve their learning performance.Design/methodology/approachData were obtained from students who used ITS, and a structural equation modeling was deployed to analyze the data.FindingsData analysis revealed that the quality of knowledge, system and service directly impacted satisfaction and improved TTF for ITS. It was found that TTF and student satisfaction with ITS did not generate higher learning performance. However, student satisfaction with ITS did improve learning motivation and resulted in superior learning performance. Data suggest this is due to students receiving constant and constructive feedback while simultaneously collaborating with their peers and teachers.Originality/valueThis study verifies that there was a need to assess the benefits of ITS. Based on the study’s findings, theoretical and practical implications are proposed.
Roles of secretory glycoproteins in particle formation of Flaviviridae viruses
Authors: Fukuhara Takasuke , Matsuura Yoshiharu 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe family Flaviviridae comprises four genera, namely, Flavivirus, Pestivirus, Pegivirus, and Hepacivirus. These viruses have similar genome structures, but the genomes of Pestivirus and Flavivirus encode the secretory glycoproteins Erns and NS1, respectively. Erns plays an important role in virus particle formation and cell entry, whereas NS1 participates in the formation of replication complexes and virus particles. Conversely, apolipoproteins are known to participate in the formation of infectious particles of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and various secretory glycoproteins play a similar role in HCV particles formation, suggesting that there is no strong specificity for the function of secretory glycoproteins in infectious‐particle formation. In addition, recent studies have shown that host‐derived apolipoproteins and virus‐derived Erns and NS1 play comparable roles in infectious‐particle formation of both HCV and pestiviruses. In this review, we summarize the roles of secretory glycoproteins in the formation of Flaviviridae virus particles.

Published: July 2019

SummaryThe low temperature and elevated hydrostatic pressure in hadal trenches at water depths below 6000 m render sample collection difficult. Here, in situ hadal water microbial samples were collected from the Mariana Trench and analysed. The hadal microbial communities at different depths were revealed to be consistent and were dominated by heterotrophic Marinimicrobia. Thirty high‐quality metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs) were retrieved to represent the major hadal microbes affiliated with 12 prokaryotic phyla. Most of the MAGs were newly reported and probably derived from novel hadal inhabitants as exemplified by a potentially new candidate archaeal phylum in the DPANN superphylum. Metabolic reconstruction indicated that a great number of the MAGs participated in nitrogen and sulfur cycling, in which the nitrification process was driven sequentially by Thaumarchaeota and Nitrospirae and sulfur oxidization by Rhodospirillales in the Alphaproteobacteria class. Moreover, several groups of hadal microbes were revealed to be potential carbon monoxide oxidizers. Metatranscriptomic result highlighted the contribution of Chloroflexi in degrading recalcitrant dissolved organic matter and Marinimicrobia in extracellular protein decomposition. The present work provides an in‐depth view on the hadal microbial communities regarding their endemism and element cycles.

Published: July 2019

AbstractThe study of frontal sinuses for personal identification is a considered approach in the forensic field. In Yoshino's system, the frontal sinus patterns of a given person were formulated as a code number (codY) obtained by arranging the class numbers in each classification item. The aim of this work was to use a new code number (codC) with eight digits that includes other two continuous variables obtained as ratios SOR1 (left frontal sinus area/left orbit area) and SOR2 (right frontal sinus area/right orbit area), comparing the results with that of Yoshino. Digital radiographic images of the skulls of 150 Chinese people were analyzed. Spearman's partial correlation coefficients were evaluated between variables characterizing frontal sinus patterns. We used a maximum‐weight dependence tree for statistical analysis. Results demonstrated that codC significantly reduced the probability of having the same personal code number compared with codY. Our scientific approach results valid for personal identification purposes.
The Barber of Enlightened Spain: On the Politics and Practice of Grooming a Modern Nation
Authors: del Campo Tejedor Alberto 
Published: July 2019

AbstractFrom as early as the late sixteenth century, the barber in Spain was stereotyped as a lowly, idle chatterer, more concerned with the guitar than with his job. The anti‐French movement in eighteenth‐century Spain took up the figure of the barber as a symbol of majismo, a compendium of values and lifestyle resistant to foreign acculturation, meant to signify the Spanish national character. Analysing representations of the barber through an interdisciplinary lens, I seek to elucidate how this archetype allowed the construction of a Spanish, castizo narrative, in opposition to new fashions, and to the civilising and modernising spirit of France.
Role of genetic background in the effects of adolescent nicotine exposure on mesolimbic dopamine transmission

Published: July 2019

AbstractSmoking during adolescence may increase the likelihood to develop nicotine dependence and to abuse other drugs such as cocaine. Despite great efforts to understand underlying neurobiological mechanisms of this progression, less attention has been paid to the role of genetic factors. Here, we investigated the influence of both genetic background and age at first nicotine exposure in the long‐lasting effects on mesolimbic dopamine transmission including the increased cocaine‐rewarding effect. Mid‐adolescent and adult rats of inbred strains Lewis (addiction prone) and Fischer 344 (addiction resistant) were administered nicotine (0.4 mg/kg) or vehicle once daily for 5 days. Changes in dopamine transmission were investigated by in vivo microdialysis and electrophysiology after 30 days of withdrawal, whereas changes in cocaine‐rewarding effect were assessed via conditioned place preference paradigm. Nicotine pre‐exposure differentially changed mesolimbic dopamine transmission depending on strain and age of pre‐exposure. A potentiation of dopamine response to nicotine was observed in nucleus accumbens (NAc) core of both strains and age groups, whereas dopamine response in NAc shell was enhanced exclusively in Lewis rats exposed to nicotine during adolescence. A similar response was observed following cocaine challenge at adulthood. Changes in VTA dopamine cell population and activity were observed only in adolescent nicotine‐pretreated Lewis rats, which also showed an increased cocaine‐rewarding effect at adulthood. These results highlight the influence of genetic background in the long‐lasting effects of nicotine exposure and suggest that exposure during adolescence might increase nicotine and cocaine‐rewarding properties in genetically vulnerable individuals, thereby facilitating progression toward dependence.
Transient high‐degree right bundle branch block masking the type 1 Brugada ECG pattern associated with possible transient early repolarization syndrome
Authors: Pérez‐Riera Andrés Ricardo , Barbosa Barros Raimundo , Daminello‐Raimundo Rodrigo , de Abreu Luiz Carlos , Nikus Kjell 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe Brugada syndrome (BrS) was the last electrocardiographic syndrome described in the 20th century. The initial description included right bundle branch block (RBBB), persistent ST‐segment elevation in the right precordial leads, absence of structural heart disease, and propensity to unexplained syncope and/or sudden death mainly during nocturnal rest. Currently, we know that the first three components are not constant or true since RBBB is present in only 28% of cases, the ST‐segment elevation is dynamic, at times absent, and there are discrete structural changes in the right ventricular outflow tract. Additionally, the presence of RBBB can hide the typical type 1 Brugada ECG pattern. We present a very unusual case of spontaneous transient RBBB that revealed a hidden type 1 Brugada ECG pattern that could be seen in the beat with normal ventricular conduction.
Diagnostic and theranostic microRNAs in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis
Authors: Shoeibi Sara 
Published: July 2019

AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small single strand and noncoding RNAs that regulate several physiological and molecular signalling pathways. Alterations of miRNA expression profiles may be involved with pathophysiological processes underlying the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, including changes in the functions of the endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, such as cell proliferation, migration and inflammation, which are involved in angiogenesis, macrophage function and foam cell formation. Thus, miRNAs can be considered to have a crucial role in the progression, modulation and regulation of every stage of atherosclerosis. Such potential biomarkers will enable us to predict therapeutic response and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases and adopt effective preclinical and clinical treatment strategies. In the present review article, the current data regarding the role of miRNAs in atherosclerosis were summarized and the potential miRNAs as prognostic, diagnostic and theranostic biomarkers in preclinical and clinical studies were further discussed. The highlights of this review are expected to present opportunities for future research of clinical therapeutic approaches in vascular diseases resulting from atherosclerosis with an emphasis on miRNAs.

Published: July 2019

SummaryBackgroundThiopurine‐induced leukopenia, a frequently observed and potentially life‐threatening adverse event, complicates the clinical management of IBD patients.AimTo assess risk factors for thiopurine‐induced leukopenia in IBD.MethodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS and Cochrane library were searched for studies reporting at least one risk factor for thiopurine‐induced leukopenia. Pooled odds ratio (OR) was calculated for each potential risk factor using a random effects model. Studies that were not eligible for meta‐analysis were described qualitatively.ResultsSeventy articles were included, 34 (11 229 patients) were included in meta‐analyses. A significantly higher thiopurine‐induced leukopenia risk was found for TPMT (OR 3.9, 95% [CI] 2.5‐6.1) and for NUDT15 R139C (OR 6.9, 95% CI 5.2‐9.1), G52A (OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.3‐7.9) and 36_37ins/delGGAGTC variant carriers (OR 5.6, 95% CI 2.8‐11.4). A potential association between high 6‐thioguanine nucleotides (6‐TGN) or 6‐methylmercaptopurine (6‐MMP) levels and leukopenia was observed, since most studies reported higher metabolite levels in leukopenic patients (6‐TGN: 204‐308 (Lennard method) and 397 (Dervieux method), 6‐MMP: 4020‐10 450 pmol/8 x 108 RBC) compared to controls (6‐TGN: 170‐212 (Lennard method) and 269 (Dervieux method), 6‐MMP: 1025‐4550 pmol/8 x 108 RBC).ConclusionsTPMT and NUDT15 variants predict thiopurine‐induced leukopenia. High 6‐TGN and 6‐MMP levels might induce leukopenia, although exact cut‐off values remain unclear. Potential preventive measures to reduce the risk of thiopurine‐induced leukopenia include pre‐treatment TPMT and NUDT15 genotyping. Routine thiopurine metabolite measurement might be efficient, yet cut‐off levels must be validated in advance.
