Authors: Chakma Mital , Rana Md Sohel , Pramanik Md Ashrafuzzaman 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
This study aims to find out the causes for an increase in the number illegal E-taxis and the extent of these vehicles in the municipalities of Bangladesh.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on extensive literature review and field investigation, a set of questionnaires was developed to explore the actual causes for an increase in the number of illegal E-taxis, where ten predicted hypotheses were tested.

Findings
The result proved that the illegal E-taxi is very active in the study area. Besides the socio-economic condition of the commuter, education level of taxi drivers and commuter satisfaction level (safety and comfort) and provision of continuous and door-to-door service system are the main causes for increasing number of E-taxis in the municipality of Bangladesh.

Originality/value
Moreover, this study provides an effective thinking on socio-economic condition of drivers and the legalization of illegal E-taxis in the study area.
A thematic analysis of the experience of educational leaders introducing coaching into schools
Authors: Anthony Dirk Posthumus , van Nieuwerburgh Christian J. 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
Schools are traditionally hierarchical organisations with headteachers holding significant influence to effect change. The purpose of this paper is to present the findings of an investigation into the experiences of school leaders introducing coaching cultures into their schools.

Design/methodology/approach
This study adopts a phenomenological approach. In total, 20 face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted with headteachers and deputy headteachers in the UK. Thematic analysis was used to code the data and identify themes.

Findings
The paper reports on six themes based on the experiences of school leaders who participated in this study: personal beliefs about coaching are influenced by prior experiences; frustration about the pace of change; pressure of conflicting demands; feelings of isolation; the need for confidence to see the process through; and experiencing personal growth. The findings of this study shed light on the experience that school leaders may face when introducing coaching initiatives.

Research limitations/implications
These findings are unique to the participants of this study and therefore not representative of a general population of educational leaders. Further research into factors that can influence the successful introduction of coaching initiatives into educational settings is recommended.

Practical implications
The paper includes implications for school leaders who wish to introduce coaching initiatives into their educational contexts. It is argued, for example, it is helpful for school leaders to reflect on their own beliefs about coaching before initiating cultural change within their schools.

Originality/value
This paper fulfils an identified need to understand leadership experiences in relation to coaching in schools. This understanding will support policy makers and school leaders interested in embedding coaching cultures within schools.
How to move away from using symmetric tests, net effects, andp<0.05
Authors: Woodside Arch George 
Published: November 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe how and why to shift away from bad science practices now dominant in research in marketing to good science practices.Design/methodology/approachThe essay includes details in theory construction and the use of symmetric tests to illustrate bad science practices. In contrast, the essay includes asymmetric case-based asymmetric theory construction and testing to illustrate good science practices.FindingsResearchers in marketing science should not report null hypothesis significance tests. They should report somewhat precise outcome tests, avoid using multiple regression analysis (MRA) and do use Boolean-algebra-based algorithms to predict cases of interest.Research limitations/implicationsGiven the widespread dominance of bad science practices (e.g. MRA and structural equation modeling), the inclusion of both bad and good science practices may be necessary during the transition years of 2015–2025 (e.g. Ordaniniet al., 2014).Practical implicationsGood science practices fit reality much closer than bad science practices. Asymmetric modeling includes recognizing the separate models are necessary for positive vs negative outcomes because the antecedents of each often differ.Originality/valueThis essay presents details of why and how researchers need to embrace a new research paradigm that is helpful for ending bad science practices that are now dominant in research in marketing.
Carolyn R. Dexter’s legacies: a broader perspective on faculty work productivity and impact
Authors: Monserrat Silvia Ines , Simmers Claire A. 
Published: November 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the legacies of Carolyn R. Dexter through the lens of a broader perspective on faculty work productivity and impact.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used critical biography, a qualitative methodology, to explore and explain the development and contributions of Carolyn R. Dexter.FindingsCarolyn R. Dexter was both a product and an anomaly of her times. By contemporary academic standards Dexter’s publication productivity was limited, yet her influence was strong on many individuals and organizations. She promoted internationalization of professional organizations and supported gender equality.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitation of authors’ interpretation is recognized.Practical implicationsDexter’s career is an example of faculty work productivity and impact which is broader than publication productivity. This work illustrates the appropriateness of qualitative research, specifically, critical biography, in placing important management figures in context.Originality/valueStudies focusing on women leadership at The Academy of Management, the preeminent professional association for management and organization scholars, are limited. Carolyn R. Dexter’s leadership provides a roadmap illustrating practical contributions of faculty productivity and impact beyond publications. Throughout her academic life Carolyn Dexter made her faculty work “meaningful” to the organizations in which she worked and to the people she encountered.

Authors: Lau Yui-Yip , Ng Adolf K.Y. , Tam Ka-Chai , Chan Erico Ka Kan 
Published: November 2018

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the development of logistics and supply chain education through conducting comparative study between high diploma and associate degree. This study will critically review the added value of sub-degree courses of professional education. What exactly drives sub-degree students to enroll for a high diploma and associate degree program in maritime logistics and supply chain studies? How do they select to enroll such programs? Do such programs foster the students to equip in the professions? What do they look for obtaining professional status afterwards?Design/methodology/approachTo address the stated queries, this study will analyze students’ evaluation of the effectiveness of sub-degree education and their motivation on enrolling these courses through a questionnaire survey.FindingsIn the context of higher education, sub-degrees of professional studies experienced tremendous growth in recent decades. Many academic institutions have recorded an upward trend in providing professional education on subjects that traditionally focused on apprentice-style, non-academic learning approach. However, the reasons behind the steady growth of the demand of sub-degree level of professional education have been under-researched.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is based on Hong Kong data only.Originality/valueThe paper not only increases the scope and depth of research area in logistics and supply chain education but also contributes theoretically to the understanding on the curriculum of sub-degree logistics and supply chain programs.

Authors: Wiradanti Bahana , Pettit Stephen , Potter Andrew , Abouarghoub Wessam 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on peripheral ports, hub ports and concentration – deconcentration factors. This is an issue, as investments in port development in more peripheral locations are challenging due to the difficult financial situation currently faced by the maritime industry.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper presents a narrative literature review focusing on peripherality in the context of seaports and transport. Moreover, it gathers the reasons why ports concentrate–deconcentrate, and how these factors evolve over time.

Findings
This paper develops a future research agenda for peripheral ports.

Practical implications
The paper provides insights for ports in developing countries in their efforts to upgrade their port facilities and infrastructure.

Originality/value
This paper contributes to the research on ports in peripheral locations which have been under studied compared to larger hub ports.
Controlling the porosity of 316L stainless steel parts manufactured via the powder bed fusion process
Authors: AlFaify Abdullah , Hughes James , Ridgway Keith 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
The pulsed-laser powder bed fusion (PBF) process is an additive manufacturing technology that uses a laser with pulsed beam to melt metal powder. In this case, stainless steel SS316L alloy is used to produce complex components. To produce components with acceptable mechanical performance requires a comprehensive understanding of process parameters and their interactions. This study aims to understand the influence of process parameters on reducing porosity and increasing part density.

Design/methodology/approach
The response surface method (RSM) is used to investigate the impact of changing critical parameters on the density of parts manufactured. Parameters considered include: point distance, exposure time, hatching distance and layer thickness. Part density was used to identify the most statistically significant parameters, before each parameter was analysed individually.

Findings
A clear correlation between the number and shape of pores and the process parameters was identified. Point distance, exposure time and layer thickness were found to significantly affect part density. The interaction between these parameters also critically affected the development of porosity. Finally, a regression model was developed and verified experimentally and used to accurately predict part density.

Research limitations/implications
The study considered a range of selected parameters relevant to the SS316L alloy. These parameters need to be modified for other alloys according to their physical properties.

Originality/value
This study is believed to be the first systematic attempt to use RSM for the design of experiments (DOE) to investigate the effect of process parameters of the pulsed-laser PBF process on the density of the SS316L alloy components.
Household collectives: resituating health promotion and physical activity
Authors: Bønnelycke Julie , Sandholdt Catharina Thiel , Jespersen Astrid Pernille 
Published: November 2018

AbstractIn this article, we situate the practices of health and physical activity in household collectives, and conceptualise everyday health ‘behaviour’ and lifestyle as complex, collective practices. Based on an ethnographic study on everyday family life and health practices, we provide a framework for understanding the household as a collective, where the household collective may take precedence over individual preferences, and individual behaviour has collective implications. We describe the household as a node for practices, gathered by the activities that draw together and align actors in collective practices of everyday life. In the everyday efforts of the households to live up to ideals and balance conflicting practices, healthy living is about more than simple, individual choices about whether to follow health recommendations or not. It is also dependent on pragmatic negotiations, the distribution of roles and tasks and conflicts between ideals and what is feasible in the everyday management and maintaining of the household. We suggest that engaging with these collectives could serve as a useful point of departure for health promotion activities, situating health promotion in the here and now of collectives, tinkering with their specific constellations, values and identities in the entangledness of multiple household practices.
Breastfeeding and long‐term maternal metabolic health in the HUNT Study: a longitudinal population‐based cohort study
Authors: Velle‐Forbord V , Skråstad RB , Salvesen Ø , Kramer MS , Morken NH , Vanky E 
Published: November 2018

ObjectiveBreastfeeding (BF) has been reported to improve long‐term maternal metabolic health in observational studies, but not in the randomised controlled PROBIT study. Research also suggests that maternal pre‐pregnant metabolic health may affect BF. We aimed to disentangle effects of BF on long‐term maternal metabolic health from effects of pre‐pregnant metabolic health on BF duration and long‐term metabolic health.DesignLongitudinal population‐based cohort study.SettingNord‐Trøndelag county, Norway.PopulationWomen with a first live‐born baby (1987–2008) participating in the Nord‐Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT).MethodsOdds ratios (ORs) for short BF duration (<3 months) by pre‐pregnant body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WCF), blood pressures (BPs), and heart rate (HR) were adjusted for age and smoking using logistic regression. Mixed linear models were used to estimate effects of BF duration (<3, 3–6, >6 months) on mean values of metabolic health parameters from baseline to follow‐up.Main outcome measuresMean change in BMI, WCF, BPs, HR, serum‐glucose, and serum‐lipids from baseline to follow‐up by BF duration categories.ResultsWe analysed 1403 women with a median follow‐up of 12 years (interquartile range 11–22). Pre‐pregnant WCF and HR correlated inversely with BF duration. Pre‐pregnant BMI had a u‐shaped correlation‐pattern with BF duration. We observed similar between‐group differences in metabolic health parameters at baseline and at follow‐up, which implies that mean change in metabolic health parameters was similar across BF groups. Those women who started out with the best health had the longest BF duration and ended up with the best health, and those women who started out with the poorest health had shortest BF duration and ended up with the poorest health.ConclusionsOur results do not support a causal relationship between long BF duration and improved metabolic health. It is more likely that pre‐pregnant metabolic health affects both BF duration and long‐term metabolic health. Reverse causality can explain previously observed improved long‐term metabolic health after BF.Tweetable abstractBreastfeeding seems not to affect long‐term maternal metabolic health, but good pre‐pregnant metabolic health does.

ObjectiveWe evaluated residual incontinence, depression, and quality of life among Malawian women who had undergone vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repair 12 or more months previously.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingFistula Care Centre in Lilongwe, Malawi.PopulationWomen who had undergone VVF repair in Lilongwe, Malawi at least 12 months prior to enrolment.MethodsSelf‐report of urinary leakage was used to evaluate for residual urinary incontinence; depression was evaluated with the Patient Health Questionnaire‐9; quality of life was evaluated with the King's Health Questionnaire.Main outcome measuresPrevalence and predictors of residual incontinence, quality of life scores, and prevalence of depression and suicidal ideation.ResultsFifty‐six women (19.3%) reported residual urinary incontinence. In multivariable analyses, predictors of residual urinary incontinence included: pre‐operative Goh type 3 [adjusted risk ratio (aRR) 2.82; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.61–5.27) or Goh type 4 1.08–2.78), positive postoperative cough stress test (aRR = 2.42; 95% CI 1.24–4.71) and the positive 1‐hour postoperative pad test (aRR = 2.20; 95% CI 1.08–4.48). Women with Goh types 3 and 4 VVF reported lower quality of life scores. Depressive symptoms were reported in 3.5% of women; all reported residual urinary incontinence.ConclusionsWhile the majority of women reported improved outcomes in the years following surgical VVF repair, those with residual urinary incontinence had a poorer quality of life. Services are needed to identify and treat this at‐risk group.Tweetable abstractNearly one in five women reported residual urinary incontinence at follow up, 12 or months after vesicovaginal fistula repair.

Published: November 2018

AbstractIn this study, three carriers (glass microsphere, cellulose beads and AlgNa/PVA beads) were evaluated as phytase solid carriers for reduction of phytic acid within soymilk. Phytase was covalently immobilized onto or entrapped within carriers for repeated use. Glass microsphere was chosen due to its high catalytic efficiency. Optimal operating condition (pH 6.0, 60 °C) was determined using 4‐Nitrophenyl phosphate disodium salt hexahydrate as an indicator. Operational reusability was confirmed for more than seven batch reactions and the storage stability was capable of sustaining 70% of its catalytic activity for 40 days. The kinetic parameters including rate constant (K), time (τ50) in which 50% of phytic acid hydrolysis was reached, and time (τcomplete) required to achieve complete phytic acid hydrolysis, were 0.023 min−1, 35.7 min, 110 min. The current procedure provides a cheap as well as an easy way to carry out the reduction of phytic acid in soymilk, which has great potential in practical application.

AbstractThe TOMM40‐APOE variants are known for their strong, antagonistic associations with Alzheimer's disease and body weight. While a stronger role of the APOE than TOMM40 variants in Alzheimer's disease was suggested, comparative contribution of the TOMM40‐APOE variants in the regulation of body weight remains elusive. We examined additive effects of rs2075650 and rs157580 TOMM40 variants and rs429358 and rs7412 APOE variants coding the ε2/ε3/ε4 polymorphism on body mass index (BMI) in age‐aggregated and age‐stratified cohort‐specific and cohort‐pooled analysis of 27,863 Caucasians aged 20–100 years from seven longitudinal studies. Minor alleles of rs2075650, rs429358, and rs7412 were individually associated with BMI (β = −1.29, p = 3.97 × 10−9; β = −1.38, p = 2.78 × 10−10; and β = 0.58, p = 3.04 × 10−2, respectively). Conditional analysis with rs2075650 and rs429358 identified independent BMI‐lowering associations for minor alleles (β = −0.63, p = 3.99 × 10−2 and β = −0.94, p = 2.17 × 10−3, respectively). Polygenic mega‐analysis identified additive effects of the rs2075650 and rs429358 heterozygotes (β = −1.68, p = 3.00 × 10−9), and the strongest BMI‐lowering association for the rs2075650 heterozygous and rs429358 minor allele homozygous carriers (β = −4.11, p = 2.78 × 10−3). Conditional analysis with four polymorphisms identified independent BMI‐lowering (rs2075650, rs157580, and rs429358) and BMI‐increasing (rs7412) associations of heterozygous genotypes with BMI. Age‐stratified conditional analysis revealed well‐powered support for a differential and independent association of the rs429358 heterozygote with BMI in younger and older individuals, β = 0.58, 95% confidence interval (CI) = −1.18, 2.35, p = 5.18 × 10−1 for 3,068 individuals aged ≤30 years and β = −4.28, CI = −5.65, −2.92, p = 7.71 × 10−10 for 6,052 individuals aged >80 years. TOMM40 and APOE variants are independently and additively associated with BMI. The APOE ε4‐coding rs429358 polymorphism is associated with BMI in older individuals but not in younger individuals.

AbstractBackground and AimsPatients with co‐occurring substance use and other mental disorders are vulnerable to crime victimization, yet no evidence‐based preventive interventions exist. Our aim was to test the efficacy of a new intervention, Self‐wise, Other‐wise, Streetwise training (SOS training), to prevent victimization in these dual‐diagnosis patients as an add‐on to care as usual.DesignMulti‐site single‐blind parallel randomized controlled trial.SettingThree sites within one psychiatric service in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.ParticipantsAdult in‐patients and out‐patients with dual diagnosis (n = 250), who were predominantly male (70.4%), aged on average 42.1 years, and diagnosed with 3.7 DSM‐IV disorders.Intervention and comparatorCare as usual, consisting of pharmacotherapy combined with individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy and/or supportive counselling (n = 125) was compared with care as usual plus SOS training: a 6‐week, 12‐session manualized group training focused on enhancing emotion regulation skills, conflict resolution skills and street skills (n = 125).MeasurementsVictimization was assessed with the Safety Monitor, the Dutch equivalent of the International Crime Victims Survey, in a face‐to‐face assessment. The primary outcome measure was treatment response (yes/no), with ‘yes’ defined as reporting at least a 50% reduction in the number of past‐year victimization incidents at the 14‐month follow‐up compared with baseline. Analyses were performed according to the intention‐to‐treat principle.FindingsThe proportion of participants achieving treatment response for total victimization was 54.0% in the control group and 67.6% in the experimental group, a significant difference [odds ratio (OR) = 1.78, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.02–3.11, P = 0.042]. Treatment response for violent victimization was achieved by 68.7% of the control group and 79.3% of the experimental group (OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 0.91–3.34, P = 0.092). With a Bayes factor of 2.26, this result was inconclusive.ConclusionsAmong dual‐diagnosis patients, care as usual plus Self‐wise, Other‐wise, Streetwise training was more effective in preventing victimization than care as usual alone.
