Living ROMP Synthesis and Redox Properties of Triblock Metallocopolymers Containing Side‐Chain Iron and Cobalt Sandwich Complexes
Authors: Gu Haibin , Ciganda Roberto , Castel Patricia , Ruiz Jaime , Astruc Didier 
Published: September 2018

AbstractMetalloblock copolymers are intensively researched because of their multifunctionalities and potential applications in biomedicine and materials science. In addition, metal fragments with redox stabilities are of interest toward conductors, sensors, and batteries. Here, Grubb’s third‐generation metathesis catalyst is efficiently used in ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) reactions leading to the synthesis of two triblock metallopolymers in which each block contains a redox‐reversible iron or cobalt sandwich site. For each metallocopolymer, among six possibilities, only one involving a precise order of introduction of blocks is efficient with the completion of 25 units per block. Cyclic voltammetry measurements show the respective ability of the metal centers to exchange electrons with the electrode, with some electron transfer paths being marred by the positive charges and ligand bulk. Overall, these systems provide a cascade of chemically reversible electron transfers, their number being reasonably estimated using the empirical Bard–Anson model within approximately 20% of the number of redox sites determined by 1H NMR.
Luxury brand desirability and fashion equity: The joint moderating effect on consumers’ commitment toward luxury brands
Authors: Pham Mélanie , Valette‐Florence Pierre , Vigneron Franck 
Published: September 2018

AbstractIn marketing research, the term “fashion” has been shown to have a double meaning. It is mostly used as a synonym of apparel brands, and rarely as a concept defining the degree of a brand's fashionability. Therefore, fashion equity is proposed as a new and complementary approach to brand equity, to help marketers strengthen their strategies. By conducting three qualitative and two quantitative surveys on apparel brands and luxury apparel brands, this study develops and empirically confirms a conceptual model built around the influence of luxury apparel's brand equity on consumers’ commitment. It also evaluates the moderating effects of fashion equity and luxury brand desirability on this relationship, as well as their implications for commitment. Overall, the results add to the existing body of literature surrounding brand equity, focusing for the first time on the joint catalyst effect of fashion equity and luxury desirability in regard to the influence of brand equity on consumers’ commitment to luxury fashion brands.
What’s in a name? The impact of subcategory salience on value perception and upgrade intention for multicategory products
Authors: Han Jin K. , Chung Seh‐Woong , Sohn Yong Seok 
Published: September 2018

AbstractDespite many convergence products rapidly approaching market saturation, academic research yet lags behind with the focus still on the primary demand in the introduction stage. The authors close this gap by focusing on how the labeling of convergence products may impact on value perception and upgrade intentions for these products. Convergence products, which combine multiple categories of products into a single device, create a unique naming dilemma for manufacturers and retailers: Whether to opt for (a) a subordinate label—a lower‐level descriptor or name that embodies its subcategory elements (e.g., smartphone or Apple’s iPhone) or (b) a
superordinate label—a higher‐level descriptor or name which transcends its subcategories (e.g., multifunctional device or Samsung’s Galaxy). The authors investigate the effects of labeling choices (i.e., subordinate vs. superordinate) on consumer value perception and upgrade intention. Results of four studies demonstrate that the labeling options exert differential effects on perceived value and upgrade intention, while the use of subordinate (vs. superordinate) label lowers the present perceived value, it raises consumer’s intention to upgrade to a newer‐generation product.
How the young adult consumer segment responds to trusty and committed marketing relationship
Authors: Ndubisi Nelson Oly , Nataraajan Rajan 
Published: September 2018

AbstractService providers build relationship with their customers for mutual satisfaction and benefits. However, little is known about the relational antecedents and outcomes of relationship satisfaction among young adult consumers. The goals of this study are to evaluate the incremental effect of trust and commitment in determining relationship satisfaction, and the mediating effect of relationship satisfaction in the association of relationship trust and commitment with relationship outcomes (such as attitudinal loyalty, behavioral loyalty, and switching restraint). The model was tested and compared between samples of Malaysian and Australian young adult consumers of healthcare services. The findings reveal that relationship trust and relationship commitment have unequal and equal incremental effect in determining relationship satisfaction in Australia and Malaysia, respectively. Moreover, the mediating role of satisfaction in the association of relationship trust and commitment with attitudinal loyalty, behavioral loyalty, and switching restraint differ between Malaysia and Australia samples. Theoretical, contextual, and managerial implications of the findings are discussed.
Status of brands in children’s consumption: What letters to Santa posted on La Poste website tell us
Authors: Ganassali Stéphane 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThe purpose of the research is to identify different consumption styles based on a large collection of letters to Santa written by some children and/or their families and submitted to the French Post website (La Poste). One of our main interests focuses on the presence and weight of brands and licenses in children’s wish lists. We have had access to all the anonymous posts sent to Santa Claus through La Poste’s website during the 2013 and 2014 Christmas holidays. We analyzed the nature of the wish lists as shown in the 43,000‐post database using several textual data analysis techniques. Extensive heterogeneity was found among children’s and families’ postures regarding that specific ritual. The different types of emails reflect the meaning families associate with Christmas time but also their different consumption styles or attitudes toward consumption: reasoned, educational, hedonistic, or materialistic, for example. When focusing on brands and licenses, we can also observe significant differences in the way families and children include them in their consumption decisions. Brands could have a very different weight in Christmas wish lists and their natures reflect different value transmission modes. The French market for Christmas children brands is rather stable and focuses on a few top leading global brands such as Playmobil, Barbie, or Lego. At least one of the ten leading brands is mentioned in half of evaluated Christmas wish lists. The analysis confirms that brands are very clearly gendered and associated with the children’s ages. Peak time for brand desire is alleged to be reached between the age of 7 and 9. To our knowledge, our research is the first to analyze a large sample of spontaneous data to capture children’s consumption styles and attitudes toward brands. Because of our classification, a first typology of parental consumption styles has also been identified.
Perceived product creativity and mental contrasting: Desired future on consumers’ product replacement decisions
Authors: Sohn Yong Seok , Yoo Kun Woo , Han Jin K. 
Published: September 2018

AbstractConsumers often imagine what it would be like to own a new product. Does engaging in such thoughts on desired future impact consumers’ purchase intentions, and if so, what is the underlying process? This study sets out to investigate the posed questions by assessing self‐regulatory strategies consumers employ upon pondering on a desired future. Based on Oettingen’s fantasy realization model, the authors take a comparative approach of two modes on desired future—mental contrasting and
indulging—en route to purchase intentions. In mental contrasting, an individual juxtaposes a desired future with his/her present reality, whereas, indulging is simply envisioning a desired future. Contingent upon the perceived likelihood of fantasy realization, consumers in the mental‐contrasting condition adjust their level—that is, high (low) for high (low) feasibility case—in goal commitment as well as in energization to achieve the desired future. In contrast, consumers in the indulging condition engage in moderate level of goal commitment—irrespective of the likelihood of fantasy realization. In a series of experiments, this study scrutinizes the fantasy realization model in context of attribute alignability/nonalignability, uncertainty in attribute meaningfulness and novelty, technological and psychological obsolescence en route to affecting the consumers’ product purchase/upgrade intentions. Conceptually, this study is the first to adapt the fantasy realization model to the marketing context, and the authors provide managerial implications of their key findings.
The tripartite model of aberrant purchasing: A theory to explain the maladaptive pursuit of consumption
Authors: Harnish Richard J. , Roster Catherine A. 
Published: September 2018

AbstractObjectiveThe goal of this study was to differentiate maladaptive consumer purchasing behaviors through the use of a triangular conceptual framework to understand aberrant purchasing behavior. The tripartite model of aberrant purchasing (T‐MAP) draws upon classic tripartite attitude models as a heuristic to propose how cognitive (i.e., self‐regulation), affective (i.e., pain of paying), and behavioral (i.e., acquisitiveness) components of attitudes may serve to differentiate closely related but distinctive types of consumers exhibiting aberrant purchasing behaviors, including compulsive buyers, compulsive collectors, frugalists, and materialists.MethodsData were obtained from 500 respondents (n = 495 complete and eligible) recruited throughProlific Academicwho participated in an Internet survey created and hosted on the Qualtrics survey platform. Measures for assessing the three triangular aspects of the T‐MAP, self‐regulation, pain of paying, and acquisitiveness, along with the four aberrant purchasing behaviors, compulsive buying, compulsive collecting, frugality, and materialism, were measured. Hypotheses were posited for each of the aberrant purchasing behaviors based on distinctive combinations of the three attitudinal components.ResultsAll four study hypotheses were supported by discriminant function analysis. Compulsive buyers exhibited lower levels of pain of paying and lower levels of self‐regulation than noncompulsive buyers. Compulsive collectors scored higher on both pain of paying and acquisitiveness than noncollectors. Frugalists exhibited high levels of self‐regulation coupled with low acquisitiveness. Materialists scored low on both self‐regulation and pain of paying but scored high on acquisitiveness.ConclusionsCollectively, the T‐MAP model differentiates various aberrant consumer purchasing behaviors that have been identified, but yet to be fully distinguished in the consumer literature.
When pride meets envy: Is social superiority portrayal in luxury advertising perceived as prestige or arrogance?
Authors: Sung Billy , Phau Ian 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThis paper draws on the theoretical underpinnings of envy and pride in examining the effectiveness of social superiority portrayal in luxury advertising. Across two studies, benign (malicious) envy led consumers to perceive social superiority portrayal as an expression of authentic (hubristic) pride and, in turn, increased (reduced) luxury perception and positive brand attitude. These findings were replicated for both dispositional (Study 1 and 2) and state feeling of envy (Study 2), regardless of whether envy was self‐reported or manipulated. These findings were found to be consistent in a comparison between luxury and premium brands. Taken together, this paper is the first to examine: (a) consumer responses toward social superiority portrayal in luxury advertising, (b) the interactive effect of envy and pride perceptions on luxury perception and brand attitude, and (c) the effectiveness of using social superiority portrayal as an advertising strategy for luxury and premium brands.

Published: September 2018

ScopeThe effect of chronic supplementation with simple‐sugar solutions on leptin signaling in liver, hypothalamus, and visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT) is studied, which is designed to mimic the temporal pattern of consumption by humans.Methods and ResultsSolutions of fructose or glucose are isocalorically supplemented (7 months) in female Sprague‐Dawley rats consuming ad libitum rodent chow. After sacrifice, plasma and tissue samples (liver, hypothalamus, and vWAT) are collected. Zoometric parameters, plasma analytes, and the tissue expression and activity of markers of leptin signaling are determined by biochemical and molecular biological methods. The two sugars cause different types of adiposopathy. Both sugars induce increases in plasma nonesterified fatty acids, and leptin resistance in the liver and the hypothalamus. Only fructose‐supplemented rats show hyperleptinemia, and increased body weight due to a hypertrophy of vWAT, with no signs of leptin‐mediated lipolysis. Glucose‐supplemented rats show no significant changes in these parameters but present elevated plasma adiponectin concentrations, lipolysis, and inflammatory markers in vWAT, indicating a shift to a nonexpandable adipose tissue phenotype.ConclusionChronic consumption of fructose places a greater burden on metabolic homeostasis than equivalent consumption of glucose, inducing hyperleptinemia, generalized leptin resistance, and increased body weight due to expanded, hypertrophic vWAT.

AbstractAimsTo describe the prevalence of dry skin in nursing homes and hospitals and to describe relationships between topical skincare interventions and dry skin.DesignTwo multicentre descriptive cross‐sectional prevalence studies.MethodsThe studies were performed in German nursing homes and hospitals in 2015 and 2016. Data were collected by trained nurses based on a standardized data collection form. The severity of dry skin was measured using the Overall Dry Skin Score.ResultsIn total, 1,662 nursing home residents and 1,486 hospital patients participated. The prevalence of dry skin was 41.2% in nursing homes and 55.2% in hospitals. In case of skincare dependency, the proportions of participants with dry skin were higher, particularly in hospitals (70.2%). In both institutions, the application of leave‐on products increased when dry skin was present but remained lower in hospitals. Considering the high amount of skin dryness in skincare‐dependent participants, interventions seem not to be successful. Results indicate a need for skincare improvement in future.

Authors: Dimassi Saloua , Karkeni Esma , Laurant Pascal , Tabka Zouhair , Landrier Jean‐François , Riva Catherine 
Published: September 2018

ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the role of nine microRNAs (miRNAs) in microparticles (MPs) on the efficacy of aerobic exercise in the regulation of inflammation and vascular function in obesity.MethodsSedentary women with normal weight (n = 6, BMI < 25 kg/m2) and women with obesity (n = 9, BMI > 30 kg/m2) were recruited at F. Hached Hospital (Sousse, Tunisia) and enrolled in an 8‐week aerobic program. Vascular function was assessed using laser Doppler flowmetry/iontophoresis, circulating MPs by flow cytometry, miRNAs by real‐time polymerase chain reaction, and inflammation by ELISA, before and after exercise.ResultsWomen with obesity presented with high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and a higher circulating MP level compared with healthy subjects. The MP miRNA profile was significantly different in the two groups. Exercise reduced BMI and inflammation in both groups and significantly improved endothelial‐dependent response (acetylcholine cutaneous vascular conductance) for healthy subjects, with a trend for women with obesity. Circulating MP level was increased after exercise, and miRNA expression was differentially modulated in both populations. Pearson analysis revealed a correlation between MPs miR‐124a and miR150 and adiponectin, TNFα, or IL‐6 levels.ConclusionsThe relation between MPs and miRNA profile, inflammation, vascular function, and exercise is of particular interest for defining “miRNA biomarker signature” in patients with cardiovascular disease who are potentially susceptible to respond to exercise.

Abstract
Future‐oriented coping is a strategy for coping with events that may happen in the future, including efforts to ensure positive outcome and protection from potential threats. Appropriate future‐oriented coping is essential for well‐being and influences mental health and life satisfaction. However, little is known about the neural mechanism of future‐oriented coping. We examined the neural basis of this coping strategy using resting‐state functional connectivity analysis. Thirty healthy volunteers underwent resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning and completed the Future‐Oriented Coping Inventory. Seed‐based functional connectivity analysis was used to investigate potentially correlated regions, with 11 nodes in the default mode network defined as regions of interest. Multiple regression analysis was performed to measure the correlation between coping behavior and functional connectivity. We found that proactive coping was significantly correlated with the functional connectivity strength between the parahippocampal cortex (PHC) and the claustrum/insula. These novel findings suggest that cooperation between the PHC and the claustrum/insula plays an important role in proactive coping. Moreover, cognitive components, such as future thinking (the PHC) and sensory judgment (the claustrum/insula) could be important process factors in proactive coping.
Assessing the Detonation Performance of New Tetrazole Base High Energy Density materials
Authors: Jafari Mohammad , Ghani Kamal , Keshavarz Mohammad Hossein , Derikvandy Fatemeh 
Published: September 2018

AbstractTetrazole derivatives containing energetic groups can be considered as high energy density materials due to their high positive standard enthalpies of formation and high densities. The effects of two energetic groups −NO2 and −N3 as well as stabilizing group −NH2 and methyl group are investigated for assessment of detonation performance of 50 tetrazole derivatives where 12 derivatives have been synthesized. The velocities of detonation and detonation pressures are estimated on the basis of two new predictive methods, which require the condensed phase standard enthalpy of formation (ΔfH°c) and crystal density (ρ). Quantum mechanical and quantitative structure‐property relationship (QSPR) methods are used for calculation of ΔfH°c. In order to calculate the ρ values, the electrostatic potentials mapped onto the 0.001 a.u. isosurface of electron densities of isolated molecules is used. Detonation performances of tetrazole derivatives are compared to three common high explosives, i. e. TNT, RDX, and HMX. Among many tetrazole derivatives, four new tetrazole derivatives are introduced as new potential high energy density materials.
Intergenerational and interethnic mental health: An analysis for the United Kingdom
Authors: Dorsett Richard , Rienzo Cinzia , Weale Martin 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThis paper uses a nationally representative data set to examine the extent to which family migration history helps explains interethnic variations in mental health in the United Kingdom. We confirm that there is significant variation in mental health across ethnic group and generation of migration. Furthermore, we show how these dimensions interact. The analysis explores the extent to which neighbourhood, personal characteristics, and migration experience are related to mental health. We find evidence that all are important. Our results are consistent with a dynamic view of migration and settlement whereby individuals' circumstances and how they might contribute to mental health change over time and across generations.
“Where are we going to go now?” European Union migrants' experiences of hostility, anxiety, and (non‐)belonging during Brexit
Authors: Guma Taulant , Dafydd Jones Rhys 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThis paper examines the impact of the 2016 European Union (EU) referendum and its aftermath from the perspective of European migrants living in Wales. Drawing on interviews conducted with EU nationals in 2016 and 2017, the article highlights various examples of hostility and violence encountered by these migrants during and after the referendum campaign, demonstrating the longstanding nature of hostile experiences. It further outlines the uncertainty and insecurity experienced during this period, noting how Brexit affected not only EU migrants' rights and entitlements but also their settlement and sense of identity and belonging. The analysis sheds light on various negative emotions and reactions triggered by the referendum, illustrating the diversity of migrants' experiences. Highlighting the multiple and complex ways in which the referendum affected the migrants, the article argues that Brexit should be understood as an ongoing process of “othering” and unsettling.
Between disruptions and connections: “New” European Union migrants in the United Kingdom before and after the Brexit

Published: September 2018

AbstractThis paper examines the pre‐ and post‐Brexit experiences and perspectives of migrants from three “new” European Union (EU) countries—Latvia, Poland, and Slovakia—who are living and working or studying in the London area. Deploying the key concepts of power‐geometry and relational space, the analysis explores the way that Brexit impacted the migrants' connections to the U.K. “bounded space” and their ongoing mobility behaviour and plans. Empirical evidence comes from 35 in‐depth interviews with migrants, most of whom were interviewed both before and after the referendum of June 23, 2016. We find that migrants are unequally positioned socio‐spatially to deal with the new power‐geometries resulting from Brexit, and we detect diverging trajectories between the more highly skilled and high‐achieving EU citizens and the more disadvantaged low‐skilled labour migrants. First, we probe the uncertainties brought about by juridical status, related to the length of stay in Britain. Second, we explore personal and professional connections and disruptions. Third, we question how the power‐geometries of time, juridical status, and personal/professional connections/disruptions shape future mobility plans.
