Tackling social media data analysis
Authors: Wilk Violetta , Soutar Geoffrey N. , Harrigan Paul 
Published: March 2019

PurposeThis paper aims to offer insights into the ways two computer-aided qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) applications (QSR NVivo and Leximancer) can be used to analyze big, text-based, online data taken from consumer-to-consumer (C2C) social media communication.Design/methodology/approachThis study used QSR NVivo and Leximancer, to explore 200 discussion threads containing 1,796 posts from forums on an online open community and an online brand community that involved online brand advocacy (OBA). The functionality, in particular, the strengths and weaknesses of both programs are discussed. Examples of the types of analyses each program can undertake and the visual output available are also presented.FindingsThis research found that, while both programs had strengths and weaknesses when working with big, text-based, online data, they complemented each other. Each contributed a different visual and evidence-based perspective; providing a more comprehensive and insightful view of the characteristics unique to OBA.Research limitations/implicationsQualitative market researchers are offered insights into the advantages and disadvantages of using two different software packages for research projects involving big social media data. The “visual-first” analysis, obtained from both programs can help researchers make sense of such data, particularly in exploratory research.Practical implicationsThe paper provides practical recommendations for analysts considering which programs to use when exploring big, text-based, online data.Originality/valueThis paper answered a call to action for further research and demonstration of analytical programs of big, online data from social media C2C communication and makes strong suggestions about the need to examine such data in a number of ways.
The value of social networking sites in hotels
Authors: Diffley Sarah , McCole Patrick 
Published: March 2019

PurposeDespite the rapid growth of social networking sites (SNSs), research demonstrating the marketing application of these technologies is lacking. Consequently, this paper aims to explore the impact of SNSs on hotel marketing activities.Design/methodology/approachAn exploratory study was used. Adopting a key informant approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 respondents in the hotel industry, who use SNSs as part of their hotel marketing efforts.FindingsNetworked interactions facilitated by SNSs can influence the marketing activities of hotels in many ways. This extends to deeper connections and co-creating value with customers to enhance the market offerings and promotional activities of the firm. Not all interviewees capitalised upon the capabilities offered by SNSs.Practical implicationsSNSs act as a key knowledge resource that can be used by practitioners to create and deliver superior customer value. However, the extent to which this is achieved depends on who is responsible for implementing it. Specifically, those with a more proactive attitude and approach towards marketing on SNSs tend to reap greater benefits.Originality/valueUsing the service-dominant logic as a guide, this paper offers greater insight into the theory and practice of social media marketing in the hotel industry, an under-studied and fragmented research area.
Challenges to masculinity in a feminized digital space
Authors: Williams David E. , Nielsen Elly-Jean , Morrison Melanie A. , Morrison Todd G. 
Published: March 2019

PurposeThis study aims to explore the perceptions and reactions of men, who participate in a female-dominated online consumption space. It looked at the process of men, (re)negotiating their digital gendered identity on Pinterest.Design/methodology/approachA grounded theory-light approach was taken. Data were collected through 21 one-on-one semi-structured interviews with male Pinterest users. Subsequently, data were extensively coded and analyzed for the key themes and patterns.FindingsThree core categories emerged, which speak to the ways men account for their practices on Pinterest as autonomous online agents. These categories were: awareness of Pinterest as a feminized digital space; limited sociality due to the solitary use of Pinterest (the exception being when collaborating with an intimate partner); and performed identities (k = 4) serving to justify the men’s activities on a female-dominated social networking site.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings establish a firm theoretical basis for understanding male Pinterest users as autonomous online agents. However, reflective of this relatively small, exploratory qualitative project, the process-based interview questions did not render, particularly, long or rich narratives. Future qualitative research might endeavor to ask deeper, more open-ended questions.Originality/valueThis is an original study of men’s use of Pinterest. Research on the identity projects of men entering fields traditionally occupied by women and coded as feminine is established, there is a lack of understanding of how gender identity is (re)constructed digitally, especially on social media.
Praise or revenge: why do consumers post about organizations on social media
Authors: Whiting Anita , Williams David L. , Hair Joe 
Published: March 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate motives for engaging in electronic word of mouth (eWOM) about organizations on social media sites. This study explores motives for posting positive eWOM and motives for posting negative eWOM. It also investigates whether existing WOM frameworks adequately capture consumers’ motives for spreading eWOM within the context of social media. This study seeks to confirm established motives in literature while also identifying new motives specific to social media.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative study was conducted using the critical incident technique. In all, 64 positive incidents and 60 negative incidents were analyzed.FindingsThis study provides a typology for understanding consumers’ motivations for engaging in positive and negative WOM within the context of social media. Four new motives for sharing eWOM are identified; eight established WOM motives are re-confirmed; and new subcategories for eWOM motives are proposed. The study also finds that further refinement of WOM motives and scales within a social media context is needed.Research limitations/implicationsAn integrated conceptual framework of both positive and negative motives is developed to illustrate a more comprehensive model of motives of eWOM within social media. Managerial implications for managing negative eWOM and amplifying positive eWOM are discussed. A limitation is that the study is exploratory in nature.Originality/valueThis study identifies new motives for sharing eWOM, re-labels existing WOM and eWOM motives with more descriptive and comprehensive titles and confirms established WOM and eWOM motives within the context of social media. This study is conducted across multiple firms and industries, leading to more generalizable results.
Director–Liability–Reduction Laws and Conditional Conservatism
Authors: BASU SUDIPTA , LIANG YI 
Published: March 2019

ABSTRACTWe study nonofficer directors’ influence on the accounting conservatism of U.S. public firms. Between 1986 and 2002, all 50 U.S. states enacted laws that limited nonofficer directors’ litigation risk but often left officer directors’ litigation risk unchanged. We find that conditional conservatism decreased after the staggered enactments of the laws, which we attribute to less nonofficer director monitoring of financial reporting in affected firms. Conservatism fell less when shareholder or debtholder power was high, consistent with major stakeholders moderating the influence of nonofficer directors. We verify that our results stem from reductions in the asymmetric timeliness of accruals and, specifically, its current assets components. We also show that affected firms switched away from Big N auditors more often, which reduced these firms’ commitment to conservative financial reports.
Globalisation and Transatlantic Economic Policy
Authors: Price Edward 
Published: March 2019

AbstractDuring and immediately after the global financial crisis, transatlantic economic policy broadly harmonised. In the years since, transatlantic economic policy has drifted apart, not least as the US economic cycle moves faster than the EU's. The result is a legacy of homogenous international financial regulation overlaying heterogenous fiscal, monetary and economic realities. Is the above dichotomy evidence of de‐globalisation?
Does composition of tropical agricultural landscape affect parasitoid diversity and their host–parasitoid interactions?

Published: March 2019

AbstractThe expansion of agricultural fields is the main cause of landscape simplification and changes in the composition and configuration of landscapes. These landscape changes influence pests and their natural enemies, and may influence their interaction and the biological control services to which they contribute. However, the effects of landscape composition can vary between region and insect species.
The present study was conducted on cucumber plants in 16 different sites of varying landscape composition in Bogor and its surrounding area, West Java, Indonesia. Sampling of insects was performed on lepidopteran pests and their parasitoids.
The results obtained showed that landscape composition (i.e. patch number of cropland) had a positive impact on the abundance of parasitoids and their host (lepidopteran pests). Yet the proportion of natural habitat did not influence parasitoid abundance and their host–parasitoid interaction. The presence of Apanteles taragamae (i.e. the most abundant parasitoid) in the agricultural landscape was affected by the abundance of its hyperparasitoid and its host (Diaphania indica) and not by landscape composition.
The findings of the present study suggest that the higher proportion of patchy cropland in tropical agricultural landscapes, as well as agricultural practices, can maintain parasitoid abundance and functional diversity and, finally, an enhanced parasitism rate.

Background and ObjectiveUS college student marijuana use is the highest since 1980. The objective was to investigate use characteristics among college students.MethodsThe RADARS® System College Survey Program surveyed individuals in a university, technical or online school. This was a secondary analysis of existing data.ResultsSeven thousand one hundred five students were enrolled, <30% of students’ perceived marijuana use a health risk. Students in medical states were more likely to use marijuana compared to non‐legal states. (p < .001) Smoking and edibles were common methods of use.ConclusionsHigher reports of college student use were observed in medical states without differences in risk perception.Scientific SignificanceThis study further demonstrates the public health impact of marijuana legalization by comparing college study use of marijuana by state legalization status, and demonstrating high rates of use of concentrated products. These findings should be factored when determining regulations and preventative measures when legalizing marijuana. (Am J Addict 2019;28:266–269)
Re‐scripting Place: Managing Social Class Stigma in a Former Steel‐Making Region
Authors: Nayak Anoop 
Published: March 2019

AbstractFollowing the closure of the steelworks in Teesside, North‐East England, this paper focuses upon social class inequality and the re‐scripting of place. The study explores local responses to programmes such as Benefits Street and Location, Location, Location filmed in Middlesbrough. The study contributes to transnational debates on urban territorial stigmatisation in three ways. First, by extending the gaze from “spectacular” sites of multi‐ethnic urban unrest, to consider seemingly “mundane” post‐industrial peripheries. Second, by identifying how the recipients of spatial stigma might demonstrate agency through various acts of popular resistance including place re‐inscription. This includes developing alternative narratives of place, through commemorating Teesside's rich industrial heritage, supporting ex‐steelworkers, and challenging governmental stigma and media geographies declaring Middlesbrough to be a “benefits town” and the “worst place to live in the UK”. Third, by considering the unfolding of place as event, where contingency, complexity and unpredictable constellations and re‐inscriptions might emerge.
Welfare Convergence, Bureaucracy, and Moral Distancing at the Food Bank
Authors: May Jon , Williams Andrew , Cloke Paul , Cherry Liev 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThis paper seeks to extend geographic thinking on the changing constitution of the UK welfare state, suggesting the need to supplement ideas of the “shadow state” with an analysis of the blurring of the bureaucratic practices through which welfare is now delivered by public, private and third sector providers alike. Focusing on the growing convergence of the bureaucratic practices of benefits officials and food bank organisations, we interrogate the production of moral distance that characterise both. We reveal the ideological values embedded in voucher and referral systems used by many food banks, and the ways in which these systems further stigmatise and exclude people in need of support. Contrasting these practices with those of a variety of “ethical insurgents”, we suggest that food banks are sites of both the further cementing and of challenge to the injustices of Britain's new welfare apparatus.
The creation of digital artefacts as a mechanism to engage students in studying literature
Authors: Walton Geoff , Childs Mark , Jugo Gordana 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThe aim of the project was to motivate school students to learn about the national literature of their own and others’ countries. Engagement was fostered via the creation of digital artefacts (or “e‐artefacts”) such as online comic strips, live videos or animations. The pedagogical rationale was based on Papert’s constructionism and Bloom’s revised taxonomy. Participatory action research put school teachers at the centre of the research process. School teachers from five schools (Croatia, Denmark, Poland, Sweden and the UK) chose their own pedagogical approaches for classroom activities. Data on how teachers viewed the use of e‐artefacts in their classroom practice were gathered using focus groups. Teachers in all five schools identified the same process for relating texts to activities: involving a close reading of the text, collaborative formatting for the e‐artefact, and points for reflection and discussion. Students and staff were not only more excited with studying the literature, learners also showed improvement in language learning. Teachers also reported that specific students showed noticeable increases in self‐efficacy and classroom participation. By providing alternative means for students to excel and show competencies beyond academic capabilities, more students feel included and valued. Furthermore, the process of creating e‐artefacts demanded greater reflection from students, which was a result of greater engagement with the materials. Finally, including the creation of e‐artefacts in the curriculum, while maintaining more traditional approaches, offers a more inclusive and rewarding provision of learning for both students and staff.
Breaking face processing tasks apart to improve their predictive value in the real world: A comment on Ramon, Bobak, and White (2019)
Authors: Devue Christel 
Published: March 2019

In this commentary, I will expand on three aspects suggested by Ramon et al. (2019, British Journal of Psychology, 110, 461) to improve the predictive value of laboratory‐based tasks in real‐world applications. There are potential benefits that may arise from three interrelated considerations, particularly in terms of predicting agents’ susceptibility to errors in operational settings. The first is a proposal to conduct a detailed examination of performance on face processing tests rather than only analysing overall accuracy scores. The second involves considering non‐face‐related cognitive and meta‐cognitive sub‐processes involved in face processing tasks. The third highlights the contribution of superior recognisers in creating challenging tests that simulate difficult real‐world situations.
Searching for analgesic drug candidates alleviating oxaliplatin‐induced cold hypersensitivity in mice
Authors: Sałat Kinga , Furgała Anna , Malikowska‐Racia Natalia 
Published: March 2019

AbstractOxaliplatin is a third‐generation, platinum‐based derivative used to treat advanced colorectal cancer. Within the patient population on oxaliplatin therapy, a lower incidence of hematological adverse effects and gastrointestinal toxicity is noted, but severe neuropathic pain episodes characterized by increased cold and tactile hypersensitivity are present in ~95% of patients. This drug is also used to induce a rodent model of chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)‐related neuropathic pain which is widely used in the search for novel therapies for CIPN prevention and treatment. This paper provides a step‐by‐step, detailed description of the prevention and intervention protocols used in our laboratory for the assessment of oxaliplatin‐induced cold allodynia in mice. To establish cold sensitivity in mice, the cold plate test was used. Latencies to pain reaction in response to cold stimulus (2.5°C) for vehicle‐treated non‐neuropathic mice, vehicle‐treated mice injected with oxaliplatin (neuropathic control), and oxaliplatin‐treated mice treated additionally with duloxetine are compared. Duloxetine is a serotonin/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor which was found to produce significant pain relief in patients with CIPN symptoms. In our present study, duloxetine administered intraperitoneally at the dose of 30 mg/kg served as a model antiallodynic drug which attenuated or partially prevented cold allodynia caused by oxaliplatin.

AbstractObjectivesThe conversion of tissue engineering into a routine clinical tool cannot be achieved without a deep understanding of the interaction between cells and scaffolds during the process of tissue formation in an artificial environment. Here, we have investigated the cultivation conditions and structural features of the biodegradable non‐woven material in order to obtain a well‐differentiated human airway epithelium.Materials and methodsThe bilayered scaffold was fabricated by electrospinning technology. The efficiency of the scaffold has been evaluated using MTT cell proliferation assay, histology, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy.ResultsWith the use of a copolymer of chitosan‐gelatin‐poly‐l‐lactide, a bilayered non‐woven scaffold was generated and characterized. The optimal structural parameters of both layers for cell proliferation and differentiation were determined. The basal airway epithelial cells differentiated into ciliary and goblet cells and formed pseudostratified epithelial layer on the surface of the scaffold. In addition, keratinocytes formed a skin equivalent when seeded on the same scaffold. A comparative analysis of growth and differentiation for both types of epithelium was performed.ConclusionsThe structural parameters of nanofibres should be selected experimentally depending on polymer composition. The major challenges on the way to obtain the well‐differentiated equivalent of respiratory epithelium on non‐woven scaffold include the following: the balance between scaffold permeability and thickness, proper combination of synthetic and natural components, and culture conditions sufficient for co‐culturing of airway epithelial cells and fibroblasts. For generation of skin equivalent, the lack of diffusion is not so critical as for pseudostratified airway epithelium.

Abstract

Salmon are important vectors for biogeochemical transport across ecosystem boundaries. Here we quantified salmon contributions to annual catchment fluxes of nutrients (N and P) and organic matter (C, N, and P) from a forested catchment in coastal southeast Alaska.

Concentrations of ammonium and soluble reactive phosphorus increased by several orders of magnitude during spawning and were significantly correlated with spawning salmon densities. Nitrate concentrations increased modestly during spawning and were not significantly correlated with salmon densities. Salmon had a modest legacy effect on inorganic N and P as evidenced by elevated streamwater concentrations past the end of the spawning period.

Dissolved organic carbon concentrations did not respond to the presence of salmon; however, concentrations of dissolved organic nitrogen and phosphorus showed a significant positive relationship to salmon densities. Changes in spectroscopic properties of the bulk streamwater dissolved organic matter pool indicated that streamwater dissolved organic matter became less aromatic and biolabile during spawning.

On an annual basis, salmon were the dominant source of streamwater fluxes of inorganic nutrients, accounting for 92%, 65%, and 74% of annual streamwater fluxes of ammonium, nitrate, and soluble reactive phosphorus, respectively. In contrast, fluxes of organic matter were dominated by catchment sources with salmon accounting for <1% of the annual catchment flux of dissolved organic carbon and 12% and 15% of the annual fluxes of dissolved organic nitrogen and phosphorous respectively.

These findings indicate that, in small coastal catchments, salmon can be a quantitatively important source of dissolved streamwater nutrients with implications for productivity in downstream estuarine ecosystems.
