What drives brand supportive intentions?
Authors: Wu Hung-Che , Chang Ya-Yuan 
Published: March 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the structural relationship between brand supportive intentions and their seven drivers.

Design/methodology/approach
A questionnaire survey was used to collect data from respondents who had purchased ASUS products, obtaining 546 valid samples which were analyzed with structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression modeling.

Findings
Results indicate that positive brand perceptual evaluation and brand co-creation significantly positively influence brand experiential satisfaction, whereas brand regret significantly negatively influences brand experiential satisfaction. In addition, brand experiential satisfaction has a positive influence on brand love, which, in turn, leads to brand supportive intentions. Moreover, brand supportive intentions are positively influenced by brand experiential satisfaction. In addition, brand need for cognition moderates the effect of brand experiential satisfaction on brand supportive intentions.

Research limitations/implications
Future studies should focus on the respondents who purchase other branded products and compare their findings with this study.

Practical implications
Investing resources in the increase of brand perceptual evaluation, brand co-creation, brand experiential satisfaction, brand love and brand need for cognition and the decrease of brand regret is helpful to enhance brand supportive intentions.

Originality/value
This paper provides data that lead to a better understanding of the relationship between relationship brand supportive intentions and their seven drivers in a branding context.
Impact of interactive eReferral on tourists behavioral intentions
Authors: Al-Htibat Ameen , Garanti Zanete 
Published: March 2019

Purpose
Despite recognizing the importance of eReferral in shaping tourists’ behavioral intentions, researchers have rarely explored its dynamics. In the recent years, interest in the superiority of interactive eReferral over eWOM has burgeoned, thus increasing theoretical and empirical quest, which has generated many inconsistencies. Drawing on social identity, trust transfer and social tie theories, the purpose of this paper is to explore an integrative model that investigates the impact of interactive eReferral on tourists’ engagement, eReferral sharing behavior and intention to visit. Besides the direct influences of interactive eReferral on tourists’ engagement, eReferral sharing behavior and intention to visit, the authors assess the mediating role of tourist engagement on the relationship between these concepts.

Design/methodology/approach
Utilizing survey data, variance-based structural equation modeling (VB-SEM) was applied to diagnose the proposed model.

Findings
VB-SEM results suggest that interactive eReferral has a positive impact on tourist engagement, eReferral sharing behavior and intention to visit. Tourist engagement mediates the link between interactive eReferral and eReferral sharing behavior, and intention to visit.

Originality/value
By examining the relationship between interactive eReferral, tourists’ engagement, eReferral sharing behavior and intention to visit, the model departs from existing views to shed new light on the interactivity of eReferral. Implications for marketing practices and research are discussed.
A framework for electronic records management in support of e-government in Kenya
Authors: Ambira Cleophas Mutundu , Kemoni Henry Nyabuto , Ngulube Patrick 
Published: March 2019

Purpose
This paper is based on the doctoral study conducted in 2016 at the University of South Africa. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the current state of management of electronic records in Kenya facilitates or undermines implementation of e-government with a view to develop a best-practice framework for management of electronic records in support of e-government.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used the interpretive research paradigm and adopted qualitative research methodology using phenomenological design. Maximum variation sampling was used to identify the research sample for the study.

Findings
The findings established that the general status of management of e-records (MER) in government ministries is inadequately positioned to support e-government; use of e-government in Kenya had grown significantly and more ministries were adopting e-government services; although some initiatives have been undertaken to enhance MER, the existing practices for MER require improvement to ensure they adequately support e-government.

Research limitations/implications
The limitations were access to respondents and the challenge of self-reported data.

Practical implications
Recommendations and a best-practice framework for managing electronic records in support of e-government have been provided. A proposal for implementation of the recommendations on a priority basis has also been provided.

Social implications
The study’s contribution to scholarly works and literature in the field resides in its findings and a framework that can be practically adopted for management of e-records in support of e-government. By establishing the nexus between management of e-records and e-government in Kenya, it is hoped that it will provide input to policymakers to consider records managers as key stakeholders in e-government.

Originality/value
The originality of this study stems from two aspects: original topic and understudied area.
Trialling technologies to reduce hospital in‐patient falls: an agential realist analysis
Authors: Timmons Stephen , Vezyridis Paraskevas , Sahota Opinder 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThis paper analyses the ‘failure' of a patient safety intervention. Our study was part of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of bed and bedside chair pressure sensors linked to radio pagers to prevent bedside falls in older people admitted to hospital. We use agential realism within science and technology studies to examine the fall and its prevention as a situated phenomenon of knowledge that is made and unmade through intra‐actions between environment, culture, humans and technologies. We show that neither the intervention (the pressure sensor system), nor the outcome (fall prevention) could be disentangled from the broader sociomaterial context of the ward, the patients, the nurses and (especially) their work through the RCT. We argue that the RCT design, by virtue of its unacknowledged assumptions, played a part in creating the negative findings. The study also raises wider questions about the kind of subjectivities, agencies and power relations these entanglements might effect and (re)produce in the hospital ward.
National protest agenda and the dimensionality of party politics: Evidence from four East‐Central European democracies
Authors: CÍSAŘ ONDŘEJ , VRÁBLÍKOVÁ KATEŘINA 
Published: March 2019

AbstractContemporary democracies show considerable differences in the issue composition of their protest politics, which tends to remain relatively stable over time. In countries like Germany or the Czech Republic, the vast majority of protests have been mobilised around sociocultural issues, such as human rights, peace, nuclear power or the environment, and only a tiny portion of protest has focused on economic issues. At the opposite extreme, protest in France or Poland usually has a strongly economic character and voices demands relating to material redistribution and social policy. What lies behind the cross‐country differences in national protest agendas? In this article, the national protest agenda depends on what issues mainstream political parties are contesting: the content and strength of the master‐issue dimension. In reference to the literature on the multidimensional political space and niche political parties, one should expect that there is a substitutive effect; where the stronger a specific master‐issue dimension is in party politics, the less salient that issue dimension is in protest politics. This substitutive effect results from the tendency of electoral politics to reduce political conflict to a single‐dimension equilibrium, which decreases the importance of other issues and relegates the contest over secondary, niche issues to the realm of policy‐seeking strategies, with protest being a common type of this political strategy. In party systems where single‐dimension equilibrium does not exist and the master‐issue dimension is weaker, the same dynamics result in a more convergent relationship between party and protest politics and a greater similarity between the protest‐ and party‐system agendas. To investigate this theory, the national protest agendas in four countries are examined. The Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia show four combinations of two crucial factors that are not available in the old Western democracies: the content and the strength of the master‐issue dimension. The study draws on an original dataset of protest events organised in the four countries between 1993 and 2010, and on qualitative and quantitative data on issue dimensions of party politics obtained from studies on party politics and expert surveys. The results show that in the Czech Republic, where the master‐issue dimension has remained strongly economic, protest has been predominantly sociocultural. In Poland between 1993 and 2001 and Hungary between 1993 and 2006, the master‐issue dimensions are strongly sociocultural, while protest is predominantly economic. There is no single‐dimension equilibrium in party politics in Slovakia or in post‐2001 Poland and mainstream parties compete on both economic and sociocultural issues. Consequently, the substitutive dynamics between party and protest politics is weaker and the issue agendas in party and protest arenas are here more alike.
Fresh pipes with dirty water: How quality of government shapes the provision of public goods in democracies
Authors: POVITKINA MARINA , BOLKVADZE KETEVAN 
Published: March 2019

AbstractA large strand of research holds that democracy with its broad representation and electoral accountability is beneficial for the provision of public goods. Yet, there is a large variation in how democracies perform, indicating that democratic institutions alone do not suffice for securing citizens’ wellbeing. Recent studies have stressed the equal importance of state capacity for public goods delivery. These studies, however, rarely investigate how the lack of state capacity mutes the effects of democratic institutions on public goods provision. This article addresses this gap by using a mixed methods design. First, the conditional effects of democracy and quality of government (QoG) are tested on the previously under‐researched domain of the provision of clean water. The results show that democracy is associated with higher water quality only in countries where QoG is high. If QoG is low, more democracy is even related to lower water quality. The second stage of the analysis proceeds by examining how poor QoG disrupts the effects of democracy on public access to safe drinking water using interview data from a typical case of Moldova. The analysis illustrates that democracy has a number of positive effects and incentivises politicians to focus on the visible aspects of water provision, including the expansion of the water pipe network. However, low QoG hampers adoption and implementation of long‐term policies necessary for securing an aspect of water provision that is harder to achieve – namely water quality. This leaves the fresh pipes with dirty water.

Published: March 2019

AimXanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare disease. The present study was conducted to evaluate the results of both open cholecystectomy (OC) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), in patients with XGC.Patients and MethodsA retrospective study was performed including 4228 patients who underwent an OC or LC between January 2003 and November 2017. Sixty‐three patients with XGC were identified, and their clinical and operative details were analysed.ResultsThe incidence of XGC was 1.49 per cent. The mean age of the patients was 65.8 years, and 57 per cent were male. The most common clinical presentation was acute cholecystitis (44.4 per cent). Forty‐five patients (71.4 per cent) underwent an LC, with a conversion rate of 40 per cent. The mean operative times were 127.2 min for OC, 82.2 min for LC and 141.6 min for LC to OC conversion (LOC). The mean operative time was significantly longer for OC compared with LC (P = 0.02). Fifteen patients (23.8 per cent) had some postoperative complications, of which the most frequent was incisional surgical site infection (6.34 per cent). Two patients died (3.2 per cent). The mean postoperative stay was 5.07 days for LC and 11.77 days for OC (P = 0.005).ConclusionsXGC is a rare disease associated with prolonged surgical times, high morbidity and a high LOC rate.

Published: March 2019

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficiency of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in Chinese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).MethodsThis was a single‐center, prospective study including 27 Chinese patients with GERD. The outcomes in all patients were evaluated before and at 3, 6, and 12 months after RFA, including their GERD health‐related quality of life (GERD‐HRQL) score, esophageal acid exposure, DeMeester score, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) resting pressure, and patient's satisfaction with symptom control. Furthermore, rabeprazole sodium (RS) administration, reflux esophagitis (RE), and intraoperative and postoperative complications were also evaluated.ResultsRFA treatment significantly reduced the GERD‐HRQL score, the percentage of time that esophageal pH < 4, and the DeMeester score, and significantly increased the LES resting pressure in GERD patients. A need for RS administration was reduced and RE symptoms were relieved. Satisfaction rate of 92.6% and 96.3% was reported by these patients at 6 and 12 months post‐treatment, respectively. Mild bleeding (<20 mL) occurred in one patient during RFA, and no serious intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed.ConclusionRFA is safe and effective in the treatment of GERD in Chinese patients.
Traumatic dural venous sinus gas predicts a higher likelihood of dural venous sinus thrombosis following blunt head trauma
Authors: So Tiffany Y , Dixon Andrew , Kavnoudias Helen , Paul Eldho , Maclaurin William 
Published: March 2019

AbstractIntroductionThe aim of this study was to assess the association between intrasinus gas and dural venous sinus thrombosis (DVST) in patients with blunt head trauma.MethodsOne hundred and two consecutive patients with blunt head trauma imaged with non‐enhanced CT and CT head venography at our institution between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2016 were included. Image review was performed by two independent reviewers to assess for the presence of intrasinus or perisinus gas and DVST. Skull fractures involving a dural venous sinus, sinus hyperdensity, extraaxial haematoma, and/or extrinsic dural venous sinus compression were also recorded. Univariate and multivariate analyses estimated the associations between the imaging variables and DVST.ResultsThirty‐seven cases of DVST were confirmed with CT venography: 10 (27.0%) occlusive, and 27 (73.0%) non‐occlusive. We detected 24 cases of intrasinus gas, all occurring with skull fractures. Gas localized to the sinus involved by the fracture in 23 (95.8%) of 24 cases. Additional gas within a contiguous sinus was present in nine (37.5%) cases. The association between intrasinus gas and DVST of the respective sinus was statistically significant (OR: 11.3, CI: 3.9–32.9, P < 0.0001). DVST was also significantly associated with the presence of a skull fracture (P = 0.04), fractures involving the sigmoid sinus (P = 0.0001), and sinus hyperdensity (P < 0.0001).ConclusionTraumatic intrasinus gas is associated with DVST in patients with blunt head trauma. Its detection on non‐enhanced CT examinations in the emergency care setting infers a higher risk of DVST and should prompt consideration of CT venography.

Published: March 2019

AbstractIntroductionHepatic steatosis is a common incidental finding on computed tomography (CT) in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED). The aims of our study were to assess the prevalence of hepatic steatosis in ED patients with suspected renal colic and to assess documentation in radiology reports and medical charts correlated with alanine transaminase (ALT) levels.MethodsOver 18 months from January 2016 to June 2017, all unenhanced CTs performed for suspected renal colic were reviewed. Quantitative assessment measuring hepatic and splenic attenuation in Hounsfield Units was performed. Hepatic steatosis was defined using multiple CT criteria including liver/spleen (L/S) ratio. Radiology reports, medical charts and ALT levels, if collected within 24 h of CT, were reviewed.ResultsA total of 1290 patients were included with a median age 52.5 years (range 16–98) and male predominance (835 [64.7%]). A total of 336 (26%) patients had hepatic steatosis measured by L/S ratio of ≤ 1.0. Ninety‐four patients (28%) had radiology reports noting steatosis. Documentation in medical charts was noted in 18 of the 94 patients (19.1%) for whom steatosis was reported. Liver enzymes were available for 704 (54.6%) patients. There was a significantly higher mean ALT level in patients with hepatic steatosis (42.2 U/L; 95% CI 38.4–46.0) compared to patients without (28.8 U/L; 95% CI 25.7–31.9) (P < 0.0001).ConclusionOur findings highlight multiple gaps in the reporting and evaluation of hepatic steatosis among radiologists and emergency clinicians alike. Recognising and reporting this incidental finding may impact health outcomes.
Phylin 2.0: Extending the phylogeographical interpolation method to include uncertainty and user‐defined distance metrics
Authors: Tarroso Pedro , Carvalho Sílvia B. , Velo‐Antón Guillermo 
Published: March 2019

AbstractEstimating geographical ranges of intra‐specific evolutionary lineages is crucial to the fields of biogeography, evolution, and biodiversity conservation. Models of isolation mechanisms often consider multiple distances in order to explain genetic divergence. Yet, the available methods to estimate the geographical ranges of lineages are based on direct geographical distances, neglecting other distance metrics that can better explain the spatial genetic structure. We extended the phylogeographical interpolation method (phylin) in order to accommodate user‐defined distance metrics and to incorporate the uncertainty associated with genetic distance calculation. These new features were tested with simulated and empirical data sets. Multiple distance matrices were generated including geographical, resistance, and environmental distances to derive maps of lineage occurrence. The new additions to this method improved the ability to predict lineage occurrence, even with low sample size. We used a regression framework to quantify the relationship between the genetic divergence and competing distance matrices representing potential isolation processes that are subsequently used in the interpolation process. Including uncertainty in tree topology and the different distance matrices improved the robustness of the variograms, allowing a better fit of the theoretical model of spatial dependence. The improvements to the method increase its potential application in other fields. Accurately mapping genetic divergence can help to locate potential contact zones between lineages as well as barriers to gene flow, which has a broad interest in biogeographical and evolutionary studies. Additionally, conservation efforts could benefit from the integration of genetic variation and landscape features in a spatially explicit framework.

AbstractBackgroundKetamine is an emerging drug used in the management of undifferentiated, severe agitation in the prehospital setting. However, prior work has indicated that ketamine may exacerbate psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. The objective of this study was to describe psychiatric outcomes in patients who receive prehospital ketamine for severe agitation.MethodsThis is a retrospective cohort study, conducted at two tertiary academic medical centers, utilizing chart review of patients requiring prehospital sedation for severe agitation from January 1, 2014, to June 30, 2016. Patients received either intramuscular (IM) versus intravenous (IV) ketamine or IM versus IV benzodiazepine. The primary outcome was psychiatric inpatient admission with secondary outcomes including ED psychiatric evaluation and nonpsychiatric inpatient admission. Generalized estimating equations and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare cohorts.ResultsDuring the study period, 141 patient encounters met inclusion with 59 (42%) receiving prehospital ketamine. There were no statistically significant differences between the ketamine and benzodiazepine cohorts for psychiatric inpatient admission (6.8% vs. 2.4%, difference = 4.3%, 95% CI = –2% to 12%, p = 0.23) or ED psychiatric evaluation (8.6% vs. 15%, difference = –6.8%, 95% CI = –18% to 5%, p = 0.23). Patients with schizophrenia who received ketamine did not require psychiatric inpatient admission (17% vs. 10%, difference = 6.7%, 95% CI = –46% to 79%, p = 0.63) or ED psychiatric evaluation (17% vs. 50%, difference = –33%, 95% CI = –100% to 33%, p = 0.55) significantly more than those who received benzodiazepines, although the subgroup was small (n = 16). While there was no significant difference in the nonpsychiatric admission rate between the ketamine and benzodiazepine cohorts (35% vs. 51%, p = 0.082), nonpsychiatric admissions in the benzodiazepine cohort were largely driven by intubation (63% vs. 3.8%, difference = 59%, 95% CI = 38% to 79%, p < 0.001).ConclusionsAdministration of prehospital ketamine for severe agitation was not associated with an increase in the rate of psychiatric evaluation in the emergency department or psychiatric inpatient admission when compared with benzodiazepine treatment, regardless of the patient's psychiatric history.
