Relationship between competitive SMEs’ orientation and “Catur Paramitha”
Authors: Ketut Rahyuda I. , Bagus Anom Purbawangsa Ida , Bagus Ketut Surya Ida 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to identify dimensions and indicators of “Catur Paramitha” that improve the performance of SMEs in Sarbagita area.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a quantitative and qualitative approach. Glaser and Strauss’s (1967) grounded theory, and Strauss and Corbin (1990) were the bases for the qualitative approach. It also employed a quantitative approach to analyze the difference between the SMEs. The setting comprised of three municipalities in Bali and Denpasar; altogether, these areas are known as “Sarbagita.” Bali is divided into 8 districts, 1 city, and 57 regions. Due to the large number of SMEs in Bali, there is no institution that has been able to identify the exact number of SMEs in “Sarbagita.”

Findings
There is a significant and positive relationship between “Catur Paramitha” and the performance of SMEs in both East Java and Bali. The finding also describes the performance of the SMEs that apply the principles of “Catur Paramitha” and those that do not. “Catur Paramitha” that consists of “metria,” “karuna,” “upeksa” and “mudita” is a pivotal concept to apply for SME owners/management in order to prevent money from being the only basis for capitalist competition. Local wisdom can control cannibalism, turning it into humanism and friendship-based partnership or cooperation.

Originality/value
The originality of this research is its methodology, and the fact that the local culture becomes the basis for a successful business venture and organizational performance as the key for a successful business venture. Improved organizational performance is the result of more developed internal resources and competitive advantage. Local culture is a very important element to develop a competitive advantage (Barney and Clark, 2007). Local culture is local wisdom. Studies focusing on the local wisdom theory (Clayton and Birren, 1980; Robinson, 1990; Sternberg, 2000) use qualitative methods. Quantitative method is the approach used to explain the relationship between humanistic values and the performance of the SMEs (competitive advantage) based on statistical analysis. Therefore, the originality of this study is a mixed approach between quantitative and qualitative with interpretive-based approaches.
Critical parameters affecting mass loss of steel reinforcement
Authors: Drakakaki Argyro , Apostolopoulos Alkiviadis , Apostolopoulos Charis 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
The safety of reinforced concrete structures is generally related to the expected service life of their individual materials. Corrosion damage manifesting on steel reinforcement is usually underestimated, although it greatly affects both load bearing capacity and plastic deformation limits of steel reinforcement. Corrosion damage degree has a great impact on the life expectancy of structures. This paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach
In the present study, an effort has been made to examine and present critical parameters, which are significantly responsible for the differentiation of the corrosion damage level, as far as mass loss is concerned. Consequently, the size effect of the exposed – to the aggressive conditions – area of the specimen, as well as the volume of the protected (against corrosion) area, was examined in detail.

Findings
Differential aeration greatly affects the results of corrosion on the material, given that under both high and low oxygen concentration corrosion process is still ongoing.

Originality/value
Findings proceeded are worth mentioning, as they may contribute to a more pertinent evaluation of the corrosion damage (as far as mass loss is concerned), restricting the risk of erroneous predictions concerning the mechanical behavior of steel reinforcement.
Is this for our sake or their sake? Cross-cultural effects of message focus in cause-related marketing
Authors: Woo Hongjoo , Kim Seeun , Childs Michelle Lynn 
Published: July 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine how cause-related marketing (CRM) messages with a global focus and a national focus influence perceived brand authenticity and participation intentions among consumers across two countries, USA and South Korea, based on the social identity perspective. In addition, the study examines how perceived altruism of the brand mediates these relationships.Design/methodology/approachHypotheses were tested by 2×2 between-subject quasi-experiment among about 260 US and Korean consumers. Data were analyzed using multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA) and a moderated mediation analysis.FindingsResults indicated that, overall, US consumers perceive higher brand authenticity and participation intentions toward CRM in than Korean consumers. Korean consumers perceived higher brand authenticity and participation intentions from a CRM message with a national focus, while US consumers did not have a significant preference between message focuses. According to the result of moderated mediation analysis, consumers’ perceived altruism toward the brand mediated the effects of interaction between message focus and consumer nationality.Originality/valueThis study provides a unique perspective about what specific kind of CRM message could be more effective for consumers in different cultures, and proposes a theoretical explanation of why such difference is observed based on consumers’ social identities and in-group favoritism.
Supply chain network and information sharing effects of SMEs’ credit quality on firm performance
Authors: Ali Zulqurnain , Gongbing Bi , Mehreen Aqsa 
Published: July 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine how a supply chain (SC) network helps small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to obtain liquidity and working capital for enhancing their performance while developing the relationships among SC members through information sharing. Moreover, this study also investigates whether a strong tie or bridge tie improves the availability of SMEs’ credit and performance.Design/methodology/approachUsing a survey approach, data were collected from textile SMEs, located in Pakistan. Structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression model were run to validate the proposed model and the relationships.FindingsFindings highlighted that strong tie and bridge tie of SMEs positively and significantly enhance the credit quality and SMEs’ performance. Furthermore, information sharing significantly moderates the relationship between SC network ties and SMEs’ credit quality. Credit quality significantly explains the indirect (mediation) association between the strong tie and the firm performance.Practical implicationsThis study will help the SMEs’ entrepreneurs and SC executives to strengthen the liquidity position of SME and improve SMEs’ performance by developing the bridge ties. SMEs should share more information in their SC network while performing business transactions so that financers or lenders can easily access their operational capabilities and individual characteristics to offer them quality credit such as supply chain finance (SCF).Originality/valueSMEs always face the issue of risk-free financing which adversely affects the firm performance. This study covered the hidden gap in SCM and SMEs’ financing literature by identifying the crucial role of SCF as quality credit in the development of SMEs. Moreover, SMEs can get benefits (e.g. quality credit=SCF) for better embedding in an SC network through information sharing.
Tracing the evolution of advertising account planning
Authors: Beede Park 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
This study aims to contribute a comprehensive historical analysis of account planning in scholarly literature, tracing its origins in agency adoption through transformation amid today’s rapidly changing advertising environment.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper applies a historical literature review of advertising account planning literature spanning over a half-century. The analysis focuses on dual dimensions of chronological evolution and thematic content analysis to trace the development of key constructs and their changes over time.

Findings
The analysis sheds light on the origins of account planning as a discipline and factors influencing its practice among agencies. Three distinct chronological stages of development are identified, and four dominant construct themes evident across time. Analysis indicates that traditional account planning was well formed functionally in the 1990s and peaked in prominence around the turn of the new millennium. Of late, however, advances in account planning theory appear limited and the future fragmented.

Originality/value
This study provides a unique historical perspective tracing the chronological development and key constructs of account planning. Implications for the future of the planning discipline are uncertain as agencies innovate with new functional roles seeking to unlock consumer insights and creative opportunities in the digital advertising environment.

Authors: Gjergji Rafaela , Lazzarotti Valentina , Visconti Federico , García-Marco Teresa 
Published: July 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this study is threefold: first, to provide a comprehensive and systemized literature review on open innovation (OI) in family firms; second, to identify the antecedent of family firms’ heterogeneity (i.e. governance structure, goals and resources) and to outline how they affect OI behavior; and third, to propose potential avenues for further research.Design/methodology/approachThe study consists of a systematic literature review and analyses the findings of 36 papers on OI and family firms.FindingsBased on the results of the reviewed papers, authors show how family firms’ specific characteristics/factors strictly related to their governance structure, goals and resources affect OI behavior. Furthermore, the authors highlight also that adoption of different mechanisms/strategies can be useful to family firms to overcome OI barriers. Finally, discussion and avenues for further research are presented.Practical implicationsThis review can be useful to family business managers, directors and/or external consultants to better understand family-specific characteristics to support family businesses in opening up their boundaries to external partners.Originality/valueTo the best knowledge, this is the first systematic review on OI and family firms that attempt to identify all family-specific characteristics/factors, known as the antecedent of heterogeneity that affects family firm OI behavior. The authors believe that it could represent an important guide for future research on this topic.
Can corporate philanthropy be driven from the bottom to the top? Evidence from China
Authors: Zhang Lin , Mo Shenjiang , Chen Honghui , Wu Jintao 
Published: July 2019

PurposeThis paper aims to demonstrate that corporate philanthropy can be driven from the bottom to the top. In particular, the authors investigate whether employees’ donations influence corporate philanthropy and under what conditions this effect occurs.Design/methodology/approachThe sample consists of Chinese listed firms that disclosed the amount employees donated in response to the Sichuan earthquake in 2008. The Heckman two-stage selection model is applied to examine the effect of employees’ donations on corporate philanthropy and the conditions under which this effect occurs.FindingsThe results show that employees’ donations are positively associated with corporate philanthropy. Furthermore, a higher percentage of females in top management teams can significantly strengthen the effect of employees’ donations on corporate philanthropy. When the average age of the top management team members is high, the influence of employees’ donations on corporate philanthropy is stronger.Practical implicationsThis is an empirical study that helps to predict corporate philanthropy. Another practical implication is that employees should be recognized as an important element of corporate social responsibility.Social implicationsThe results encourage employees to become drivers of corporate social responsibility.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the corporate social responsibility literature by demonstrating that corporate philanthropy can be driven from the bottom to the top. Moreover, this study integrates signaling theory into the study of corporate social responsibility. Finally, this study identifies two important contingent factors that strengthen the effect of employees on top managers’ decisions about corporate social responsibility.
Remote ischaemic preconditioning modifies serum apolipoprotein D, met‐enkephalin, adenosine, and nitric oxide in healthy young adults
Authors: Ng Michelle W. , Angerosa Julie , Konstantinov Igor E. , Cheung Michael M. , Pepe Salvatore 
Published: July 2019

AbstractRemote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been employed as a non‐invasive protective intervention against myocardial ischaemia–reperfusion injury in animal studies. However, the underlying mechanisms are incompletely defined in humans and its clinical efficacy has been inconclusive. As advanced age, disease, and drugs may confound RIPC mechanisms in patients, our aim is to measure whether RIPC evokes release of adenosine, bradykinin, met‐enkephalin, nitric oxide, and apolipoproteins in healthy young adults. Healthy subjects (n = 18, 9 males, 23 ± 1.5 years old; 9 females, 23 ± 1.8 years old) participated after informed consent. RIPC was applied using a blood pressure cuff to the dominant arms for four cycles of 5‐minute cuff inflation (ischaemia) and 5‐minute cuff deflation (reperfusion). Blood was sampled at baseline and immediately after the final cuff deflation (Post‐RIPC). Baseline and Post‐RIPC plasma levels of adenosine, bradykinin, met‐enkephalin, apolipoprotein A‐1 (ApoA‐1), apolipoprotein D (ApoD), and nitric oxide (as nitrite) were measured via ELISA and high‐performance liquid chromatography. Mean (±SD) baseline levels of adenosine, bradykinin, met‐enkephalin, ApoA‐1, ApoD, and nitrite in healthy young adults were 13.8 ± 6.5 ng/mL, 2.6 ± 1.9 μg/mL, 594.1 ± 197.4 pg/mL, 3.0 ± 0.7 mg/mL, 22.2 ± 4.0 μg/mL, and 49.8 ± 13.4 nmol/L, respectively. Post‐RIPC adenosine and nitrite levels increased (59.5 ± 37.9%, P < .0001; 32.2 ± 19.5%, P < .0001), whereas met‐enkephalin and ApoD levels marginally decreased (5.3 ± 14.0%, P = .04; 10.8 ± 20.5%, P = .04). Post‐RIPC levels were not influenced by sex, age, blood pressure, waist circumference, or BMI. RIPC produces increased levels of adenosine and nitrites, and decreased met‐enkephalin and ApoD in the plasma of young healthy adults.

Published: July 2019

SummaryEffective and precise grouping of highly similar sequences remains a major bottleneck in the evaluation of high‐throughput sequencing datasets. Amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) offer a promising alternative that may supersede the widely used operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in environmental sequencing studies. We compared the performance of a recently developed pipeline based on the algorithm DADA2 for obtaining ASVs against a pipeline based on the algorithm SWARM for obtaining OTUs. Illumina‐sequencing of 29 individual ciliate species resulted in up to 11 ASVs per species, while SWARM produced up to 19 OTUs per species. To improve the congruency between species diversity and molecular diversity, we applied sequence similarity networks (SSNs) for second‐level sequence grouping into network sequence clusters (NSCs). At 100% sequence similarity in SWARM‐SSNs, NSC numbers decreased from 7.9‐fold overestimation without abundance filter, to 4.5‐fold overestimation when an abundance filter was applied. For the DADA2‐SSN approach, NSC numbers decreased from 3.5‐fold to 3‐fold overestimation. Rand index cluster analyses predicted best binning results between 97% and 94% sequence similarity for both DADA2‐SSNs and SWARM‐SSNs. Depending on the ecological questions addressed in an environmental sequencing study with protists we recommend ASVs as replacement for OTUs, best in combination with SSNs.
Reduced Soil Macropores and Forest Cover Reduce Warm‐Season Baseflow below Ecological Thresholds in the Upper Delaware River Basin
Authors: Endreny Theodore A. , Kwon Peter , Williamson Tanja N. , Evans Richard 
Published: July 2019

AbstractWe examined the impacts of changes in land cover and soil conditions on the flow regime of the upper Delaware River Basin using the Water Availability Tool for Environmental Resources. We simulated flows for two periods, c. 1600 and 1940, at three sites using the same temperature and precipitation conditions: the East Branch, West Branch, and mainstem Delaware River at Callicoon, New York. The 1600 period represented pristine forest and soils. The 1940 period included reduced forest cover, increased agriculture, and degraded soils with reduced soil macropore fractions. A model‐sensitivity test examined the impact of soil macropore and land cover change separately. We assessed changes in flow regimes between the 1600 and 1940 periods using a variety of flow statistics, including established ecological limits of hydrologic alteration (ELOHA) thresholds. Reduced forest soil macropore fraction significantly reduced summer and fall baseflows. The 1940 period had significantly lower Q50 flows (50% exceedance) than the 1600 period, as well as summer and fall Q90 and Q75–Q90 flows below the ELOHA thresholds. The one‐ to seven‐day minimum flows were also lower for the 1940 period, by 17% on the mainstem. 1940 flows were 6% more likely than the 1600 period to fall below the low‐flow threshold for federally endangered dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) habitat. In contrast, the 1940 period had higher flows than the 1600 period from late fall to early winter.
Forecasting realised volatility: a Markov switching approach with time‐varying transition probabilities
Authors: Wang Xunxiao , Shrestha Keshab , Sun Qi 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThis paper introduces a markov‐switching heterogeneous autoregressive (MS‐HAR) model with time‐varying transition probabilities (TVTP) for the realised volatility of Shanghai securities composite index returns. Its various extensions have been obtained by including negative returns outside trading hours in addition to the leverage effects and trading volume. The findings show asymmetries in the impact of explanatory variables on the realised volatility. Moreover, the out‐of‐sample results show that the benchmark MS‐HAR with TVTP model and its extensions consistently outperform the simple HAR model, MS‐HAR model with constant transition probabilities (CTP) and their extensions. These results are robust to alternative realised measurements, and have economic implications.
Ultrafiltration for management of fluid overload in patients with heart failure
Authors: Gologorsky Rebecca C. , Roy Shuvo 
Published: July 2019

AbstractHeart failure is the number one cause of death in the United States and a significant burden to the healthcare system. One of the primary complications of heart failure is fluid overload, for which current treatments are limited. Medical therapy is first‐line; however, rates of diuretic insensitivity are high, medications are not easily titrated, and they do not address the underlying physiologic derangement that leads to hypervolemia. Removal of isotonic fluid via hemofiltration and peritoneal dialysis is an understudied but promising therapy that enables decongestion without maladaptive stimulation of fluid retention pathways. Published studies report conflicting data on long‐term outcomes of ultrafiltration but reach consensus on greater and more durable volume reduction with ultrafiltration than conventional medical therapy. These studies are noteworthy for their neglect to standardize both patient selection and fluid removal protocol, which likely contribute to outcome variation. Novel technology in preclinical testing includes implantable ultrafiltration, which has potential to treat volume overload while minimizing the adverse effects associated with conventional hemofiltration. We performed a literature review of English‐language studies on hemo‐ and peritoneal filtration for management of fluid overload in congestive heart failure. Also included is a discussion of the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure and first‐line management as well as emerging technologies for ultrafiltration.
