Work values ethic and personal discretionary non-work activities
Authors: McMurray Adela , Scott Don , Simmers Claire A. 
Published: January 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the constituents of personal discretionary non-work activities and their influence on the work values ethic (WVE).

Design/methodology/approach
The constituents of personal discretionary non-work activities and their relationship to the WVE for 1,349 employees drawn from three manufacturing companies were surveyed. The data was used to test a measure of WVE, to develop a valid measure of personal discretionary non-work activities and to test a model of the relationship between personal discretionary non-work activities and a WVE.

Findings
Data obtained from the survey enabled the identification of a valid measure of personal discretionary non-work activities and the components that made up this measure. A measure of WVE was shown to be both valid and reliable, and a model of the relationship between personal discretionary non-work activities and WVE was tested.

Research limitations/implications
A positive relationship between personal discretionary non-work activities and WVE was identified. However, the study was not designed to investigate motivations and such relationships should be the subject of future research.

Practical implications
Personal discretionary non-work activities were shown to be of importance for a major proportion of the study’s respondents and to contribute to the employees’ work ethic.

Originality/value
The study has extended the non-work and work literature and has identified a formative non-work measure that was able to be tested in an overall model.
A hybrid AHP/DEA-AR model for measuring and comparing the efficiency of airports
Authors: Keskin Burak , Köksal Can Deniz 
Published: January 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to employ an efficiency analysis and compare the efficiency scores of publicly or privately operated airports in Turkey.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses analytic hierarchy process, which is one of the widely known multi-criteria decision-making methods to calculate the relative weights of input and outputs. This study also uses data envelopment analysis and assurance region (AR) method to calculate the efficiency scores of airports at the empirical analysis stage.FindingsThe empirical results reveal that DEA-BCC and DEA-CCR methods produced almost the same efficiency scores, and 14 airports were found as efficient. Also, AR method was employed and under this method, it was only two airports operated by the private sector that were found as efficient. None of the publicly operated airports was found as efficient.Practical implicationsThe main practical implication of this study is that publicly operated airports must improve their efficiency levels in Turkey. This situation indicates that the government policy for the aviation sector must be changed. It is not a coincidence that all publicly operated airports are inefficient. To cope with this situation, it may be a useful policy that establishes a regional airport system or applies the privatization process to all airports.Originality/valueThe most significant contribution of this study to literature is that the AR method, which was never used before in a single country’s airport performance evaluation study, was applied for the first time. Also, this technique was applied first time to Turkish airports for measuring their efficiency levels.
Centralized vs decentralized sourcing strategy for multi-tier automotive supply network
Authors: Bagul Avinash Dinkarrao , Mukherjee Indrajit 
Published: January 2019

PurposeMultiple stages of procurement for a product in a supply chain (SC) altogether form a “multi-Tier” supply network. The purpose of this paper is to develop and verify a systematic solution approach to ascertain the realistic cost advantage of a coordinated centralized sourcing strategy as compared to an isolated decentralized sourcing strategy for a multi-tier supply network under demand uncertainty.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed systematic solution approach consists of seven steps to compare and contrast the cost advantage of a centralized coordinated sourcing strategy over a decentralized stage-wise sourcing strategy for a multi-tier supply network. A real-life automotive industry case analysis of two distinct products provides sufficient empirical evidence on the expected cost advantage of centralized coordinated sourcing strategy under demand uncertainty.FindingsThe case analysis affirms the practicability of the proposed seven-step solution approach to determine the realistic cost advantage of coordinated sourcing.Research limitations/implicationsThe scope of this research is restricted to a single product and two-tier supply network analysis. This research work also considers a restrictive assumption of negligible coordination cost.Practical implicationsThe suitability of the proposed solution approach is verified using real-life case examples. This research provides theoretical insights and factual evidence to SC practitioners, so as to adopt a centralized sourcing strategy in a varied manufacturing environment.Originality/valueThere is no evidence of a systematic step-by-step solution approach to determine the cost advantage of a coordinated sourcing strategy over an isolated decentralized sourcing strategy for a multi-tier supply network under demand uncertainty.
Rethinking share-of-wallet at the bottom of the pyramid: using financial diaries to observe monthly category trade-offs
Authors: Lappeman James , Chigada Joel , Pillay Pragasen 
Published: January 2019

PurposeThis study provides empirical evidence for the impact that income and expenditure fluctuations have on understanding the fundamentals of BoP household share-of-wallet in South Africa.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a longitudinal financial diary methodology to record household income in 80 households (in four different geographic areas) over four monthly waves.FindingsThe study showed the lack of reliability of aggregated population income and expenditure surveys when understanding the specific behaviour of BoP households. The study concludes that major category trade-offs occur on a monthly basis, and that these trade-offs directly impact our fundamental understanding BoP SoW.Originality/valueWhile the BoP consumer theory is developing (especially in the last decade), most of the theory is focused on development and business strategy. Empirically based consumer theory is noticeably lacking, given that the BoP is the largest population segment on earth. In addition, research is largely absent of highly rigourous and in-depth quantification of consumer SoW behaviour. This study contributes to the BoP theory by examining monthly fluctuations in income and expenditure, a line of analysis not done before to this extent. In doing so, the study proposes a new metric for the measurement of category expenditure as an index of the total spend.
Local intelligence – the missing link in CTF regulation in the banking sector
Authors: Naheem Mohammed Ahmad 
Published: January 2019

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the current challenges that banking counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulation faces in the fight against global terrorism. The paper examines the potential impact on the banking sector of the current civil cases that have been taken against several of the leading global banks by victims and their families.Design/methodology/approachThe paper reviews current academic thinking on CTF regulation and analyses these in context of several legal challenges that have been made against some of the larger global banks, including, HSBC, the Arab Bank and NatWest.FindingsThe paper finds that current approaches towards CTF compliance are no longer a viable option for banks, as court cases have found that additional factors need to be included in risk assessment frameworks. The main finding is that risk-based approaches need to find ways to incorporate local intelligence into their risk systems and that banks can no longer rely on basic tick box compliance measures.Research limitations/implicationsThere are implications for the banking and regulatory sectors developing anti-money laundering /CTF policies. There are also legal implications for the banking sector who may be seeking to defend accusations of supporting terrorism.Originality/valueThe paper’s originality is that this level of analysis of CTF regulation using legal case studies has not been followed before.
Higher education under fire: implementing and assessing a culture change for sustainment
Authors: Barrett Paul , Gaskins John , Haug James 
Published: January 2019

PurposeLeadership development is a significant organizational investment and is considered a foundation for a culture change process. In a highly disruptive environment, higher education administrators are investigating the potential benefits of this investment. Specifically, while the great recession was underway in 2010, and with a backdrop of continuous enrollment decline, a business school in a public university in the USA utilized an experimental design to test a globally recognized business model for leadership development and its impacts on leadership effectiveness. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approachThe intervention included a two-day training session followed by a year-long process for cementing in learning, while examining ensuing leadership effectiveness. Potential control variables in the model included measures of four dimensions of leadership fitness which were defined as the physical, socio-emotional, spiritual and mental dimensions. When the leadership development intervention showed promising results the business school forged ahead to implement a culture change process based on the leadership development intervention to foster teamwork and innovation.FindingsAs a longitudinal implementation and assessment process, subsequent results of the culture change process spurred year over year increases in enrollments, student retention, student placement, along with consistently escalating faculty research and academic program rankings. The culture change process spread organically from the business school throughout the university as a whole with similar positive impacts.Research limitations/implicationsImplications, including an assertion that leadership development is a viable tool for higher education’s organizational sustainment are discussed.Originality/valueFuture research opportunities of institutional outcomes in higher education due to a systemic investment in annual culture enhancement are also discussed.

Authors: Frost Nick 
Published: January 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the public mental health challenges arising in the field of child sexual exploitation (CSE) from the perspective of frontline professionals.

Design/methodology/approach
The methods included semi-structured face-to-face individual interviews (n=6) and focus groups (two groups with a total of eight participants = 8), all participants work with CSE-experienced young people.

Findings
Professionals report how they offer support and therapy to CSE-experienced young people. Findings are outlined in relation to support, therapeutic interventions, multi-agency working, what works and the challenges and issues faced in their professional roles.

Research limitations/implications
The paper reports briefly on a substantial amount of data. A further limitation is that there is a need to gather data directly from the perspective of young people.

Practical implications
The high quality of work undertaken and the need to further develop therapeutic work with the CSE-experienced young people emerges from the findings.

Social implications
CSE is a high-profile public health issue which attracts considerable public and political attention.

Originality/value
The data gathered reflect the contemporary views of frontline professionals in a challenging and complex field of practice.
Understanding knowledge sharing in virtual communities: a network perspective
Authors: Deng Xiao , Guo Kun 
Published: January 2019

PurposeAs more and more people are beginning to take virtual communities (VC) as effective communication channels and the main places to get information and knowledge, understanding the factors that can support or hinder one’s knowledge sharing seems important for the management of VCs. The purpose of this paper is to explore the antecedents that influence people’s knowledge sharing in VCs, and to explore influence mechanism and the boundary condition of how the antecedent affect people’s knowledge sharing in VCs.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted empirical research to test our hypotheses. The authors designed a questionnaire based on previous research and collected the questionnaires from seven VCs in China, including two specific topic-based forums in Baidu Tieba which is the largest Chinese online communication platform, three in traditional university bulletin board system (BBS) forums and another two based on instant messaging service. The final sample the authors got included 96 individuals. Then the authors used the hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) technique to analysis the data.FindingsThe results suggest that community member’s attachment can be a strong indicator of his/her knowledge-sharing intention which will possibly lead to knowledge-sharing behavior. However, this effect can be contingent on individual centrality and community member fluctuations. In a stable community, those who are in the peripheral position are more likely to transfer their attachment into knowledge sharing because they have the intention to move into central positions and knowledge sharing can help them gain status. While in an unstable environment, it does not make any difference between people in different position in the social network.Originality/valueFirst, this paper reveals member’s attachment as the antecedent of people’s knowledge sharing in VCs. Second, this paper adopts a network perspective to construct the research model. And the basic point made is that knowledge sharing can be seen as a channel to attain status and centrality in a community. Thus, people who are in periphery positions are more likely to transfer their community attachment into knowledge-sharing intention. Third, this paper emphasizes the dynamic characteristic of members in VCs and proves the moderation effect of community member fluctuations.
The role of matrix metalloproteinase‐9 in negative reinforcement learning and plasticity in alcohol dependence
Authors: Go Bok Soon , Sirohi Sunil , Walker Brendan M. 
Published: January 2019

AbstractA role for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in plasticity‐dependent learning has been established. MMPs degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM) when synaptic reorganization is warranted. Previously, we showed that escalation of alcohol self‐administration is a learned plasticity‐dependent process that requires an intact MMP system. To identify the MMP subtypes within specific brain regions that are associated with plasticity underlying the negative reinforcing effects of alcohol (as measured by escalated alcohol self‐administration) during acute withdrawal in alcohol dependence, male Wistar rats were trained to self‐administer alcohol in an operant paradigm, subjected to one month of intermittent alcohol vapor exposure to induce alcohol dependence and then allowed to self‐administer alcohol during repeated acute withdrawal self‐administration sessions. Subsequently, rat brains were extracted after initial or stable escalated alcohol self‐administration phases of acute withdrawal and analyzed by immunoblot to detect MMP‐2, ‐3, and ‐9 levels in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, central amygdala (CeA), hippocampus, and nucleus accumbens (NAc). The results showed that MMP‐9 expression in the CeA and NAc of alcohol‐dependent rats was increased, however, MMP‐9 expression in the ACC was decreased during negative reinforcement learning. Subsequently, the importance of plasticity mediated by MMP‐9 in escalated alcohol self‐administration during acute withdrawal was functionally assessed through site‐specific intra‐CeA MMP‐9 inhibition during repeated acute withdrawal self‐administration sessions. MMP‐9 inhibition prevented acute withdrawal‐induced escalation of alcohol self‐administration in a manner that was not confounded by locomotor effects or a permanent inability to learn about the negative reinforcing effects of alcohol.
Risk of having one lifetime pregnancy and modification by outcome of pregnancy and perinatal loss

Published: January 2019

AbstractIntroductionWith increasing cesarean section rates, adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm delivery and small‐for‐gestational‐age continue to be public health challenges. Besides having high co‐occurrence and interrelation, it is suggested that these outcomes, along with preeclampsia, are associated with reduced subsequent fertility. On the other hand, the loss of a child during the perinatal period is associated with increased reproduction. Failure to consider this factor when estimating the effects of pregnancy outcomes on future reproduction may lead to erroneous conclusions. However, few studies have explored to what degree a perinatal loss contributes to having a next pregnancy in various adverse pregnancy outcomes.Material and methodsThis was a population‐based study of mothers giving birth to their first singleton infant (≥22 gestational weeks) during 1967‐2007 who were followed for the occurrence of a second birth in the Medical Birth Registry of Norway until 2014. Relative risks with 95% confidence intervals for having one lifetime pregnancy by preterm delivery, small‐for‐gestational‐age, preeclampsia and cesarean section were obtained by generalized linear models for the binary family and adjusted for maternal age at first birth, education and year of first childbirth. Main outcome measure was having one lifetime pregnancy.ResultsNearly 900 000 women gave birth to their first singleton infant in 1967‐2007, of which 16% had only one lifetime pregnancy. These women were older at first delivery, had less education and there was a higher proportion of unmarried women than women with two or more births. In women with pregnancy complications where the infant survived the perinatal period, there were the following relative risks for one lifetime pregnancy: increased preterm delivery: 1.21 (1.19‐1.22)], small‐for‐gestational‐age: 1.13 (1.12‐1.15), preeclampsia: 1.09 (1.07‐1.11), cesarean section: 1.24 (1.23‐1.25). The risk was significantly reduced if the child was lost (preterm delivery: 0.63 [0.59‐0.68], small‐for‐gestational‐age: 0.57 [0.51‐0.63], preeclampsia: 0.69 [0.59‐0.80], cesarean section: 0.67 [0.56‐0.79]), compared with women with no perinatal loss and no adverse outcome.ConclusionsThe associations between adverse outcomes of pregnancy and the risk of having one lifetime pregnancy were strongly modified by child survival in the perinatal period.
A New Privacy Paradox? Youth Agentic Practices of Privacy Management Despite “Nothing to Hide” Online
Authors: Adorjan Michael , Ricciardelli Rosemary 
Published: January 2019

AbstractFocus groups conducted with Canadian teenagers examining their perceptions and experiences with cyber risk, center on various privacy strategies geared for impression management across popular social network sites (SNS). We highlight privacy concerns as a primary reason for a gravitation away from Facebook toward newer, more popular sites such as Instagram and Snapchat, as well as debates about the permeability of privacy on Snapchat in particular. The privacy paradox identifies a disjuncture between what is said about privacy and what is done in practice. It refers to declarations from youth that they are highly concerned for privacy, yet frequently disregard privacy online through “oversharing” and neglecting privacy management. However, our participants, especially older teens, invoked a different mindset: that they have “nothing to hide” online and therefore do not consider privacy relevant for them. Despite this mindset, the strategies we highlight suggest a new permutation of the privacy paradox, rooted in a pragmatic adaptation to the technological affordances of SNS, and wider societal acquiescence to the debasement of privacy online.
Experiences of the maternal role and support in mothers with cognitive limitations who have children in placement
Authors: Janeslätt Gunnel , Jöreskog Karin , Lindstedt Helena , Adolfsson Päivi 
Published: January 2019

AbstractIn Sweden, when needed, children of mothers with cognitive limitations are placed in foster homes. There is a lack of knowledge about the mothers with cognitive limitations, their experiences of their maternal role, whether they get the support needed to maintain the relationship with their children, and whether the support system is adapted to mothers with cognitive limitations. The aim was to describe the experiences of the maternal role and support given in mothers with cognitive limitations who have children in placement. An explorative and qualitative design was used. Eleven respondents were interviewed with support from a study‐specific guide. A model representing the respondents' experiences revealed one theme “Struggling, dependent and frustrated mothers,” and three categories: I am a mother, I am dependent on an incomprehensible system, and I reluctantly accept my situation. Mothers with children in placement experience a threat to their identity and experience a need to alter their maternal role. They need adapted support to understand the decisions made and facilitate the cooperation with child protection services and the foster home. Offering service adapted to their cognitive limitations could be helpful for the struggling, dependent, and frustrated mothers.
Children's Engagement as Urban Researchers and Consultants in Aotearoa/New Zealand: Can it Increase Children's Effective Participation in Urban Planning?
Authors: Carroll Penelope , Witten Karen , Asiasiga Lanuola , Lin En‐Yi 
Published: January 2019

Children conducting research and engaging in ‘adult’ domains such as urban planning challenge perceptions of children as merely ‘adult becomings’ — perceptions which, along with lack of pathways for participation, have largely excluded children from effective participation in the public realm. This paper considers two urban participatory projects in Aotearoa/New Zealand: in the first, children (10–13 years) researched peer perceptions of Auckland city life; in the second, they were consulted by Auckland Council on the redevelopment of a city square. We reflect on processes and outcomes, and the extent to which facilitating such projects may increase children's meaningful participation in urban planning.
