As the record spins: materialising connections
Authors: Fernandez Karen V. , Beverland Michael B. 
Published: October 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine how the material nature of legacy technology makes its users passionately prefer it over its digital alternatives.

Design/methodology/approachThis ethnographic study uses data from 26 in-depth interviews with vinyl collectors, augmented with longitudinal participant–observation of vinyl collecting and music store events.

FindingsThe findings reveal how the physicality of vinyl facilitates the passionate relationships (with music, the vinyl as performative object and other people) that make vinyl so significant in vinyl users’ lives.

Research limitations/implicationsAs this study examines a single research context (vinyl) from the perspective of participants from three developed, Anglophone nations, its key theoretical contributions should be examined in other technological contexts and other cultures.

Practical implicationsThe findings imply that miniturisation and automation have lower limits for some products, material attributes should be added to digitised products and that legacy technology products could be usually be reframed as tools of authentic self-expression.

Originality/valueThis study explains what can happen beyond the top of the “S” curve in the Technology Acceptance Model, furthering our understanding of consumers’ reactions to the proliferation of digital technology in their lives.
Effects of job resources factors on nurses job performance (mediating role of work engagement)
Authors: Bhatti Muhammad Awais , Mat Norazuwa , Juhari Ariff Syah 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating role of work engagement (vigor and dedication) between job resources (job characteristics, supervisor and co-worker support, participation in decision making and job security) and job performance (task and contextual) rated by the supervisor.

Design/methodology/approach
A sample of 364 nurses and their supervisors was used. Structural equation modeling with Amos 17 was used to obtain a model fit with path significance of work engagement as the mediator between job resources and job performance.

Findings
The results found support for the proposed conceptual claim and confirm that work engagement with a two-factor model (vigor and dedication) mediates the relationship between job resources (job characteristics, supervisor and co-worker support, participation in decision making and job security) and with a multidimensional construct of job performance (task and contextual performance) rated by the supervisor.

Practical implications
The findings of this research will help human resource managers and professionals to further develop the working environment, provide job security and opportunities for employees to participate in decision making in a way that enhances employee work engagement, which, ultimately, improves employee job performance.

Originality/value
Past studies have not previously tested the two-factor model of work engagement (vigor and dedication) as the mediating variable between job resources (job characteristics, supervisor and co-worker support, participation in decision making and job security) and job performance rated by the supervisor.
Patients’ satisfaction as a dimension of quality: a survey on outpatients’ care in Dubai
Authors: Mahboub Bassam , Mawasi Ahmad , Ali Souzan , Spina Chiara 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The last few years have seen a stronger emphasis on patient-centred care within the international healthcare setting. Patient-centred care is clearly perceived to be important to optimise the satisfaction and well-being of patients. The purpose of this paper is to review current patient-centred practices for outpatients in both private clinics and public hospitals in Dubai. Such a comparison contributes to the identification of best management practices as a means of enhancing healthcare delivery.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is based on an independent survey consisting of self-administered questionnaires, in which patients were asked to rate several aspects of private clinics or government hospitals in Dubai. The questionnaire used has been drawn from the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Clinician and Group Survey, Version 3.0. Responses from 420 patients form a data set that is analysed quantitatively.

Findings
In total, 420 respondents took part in this survey. The results of the survey show that there is a considerable difference between the expectation levels of patients from government hospitals and patients from private clinics. Patients from government hospitals consistently show that time is a critical aspect of the service received, with 68 per cent of the respondents reporting this issue. Additionally, poor customer care, as reported by 14 per cent of the respondents, is also a critical issue. Timely service and appointments are among the main factors that contribute to patient satisfaction. Patients in private clinics, instead, particularly value clear explanations from doctors and nurses – this is corroborated by the fact that 11 per cent of the respondents reported appreciation of this type of service.

Practical implications
This paper draws attention to a patient-centric perspective of healthcare, and highlights the importance of educating patients through clear explanations.

Originality/value
Little evidence exists on the standards of healthcare in Dubai. The authors explore this area and present direct evidence on quality standard implementation, identify implementation shortcomings and make recommendations for future research and practice.
International new ventures market expansion through collaborative entry modes
Authors: Puthusserry Pushyarag N. , Khan Zaheer , Rodgers Peter 
Published: October 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the role that different collaborative entry modes play in how international new ventures (INVs) expand into international markets.Design/methodology/approachThe paper’s arguments are based on the INVs and social network literatures. In order to investigate the entry modes adopted by British and Indian small and medium information and communication technology (ICT) firms into each other’s markets, the paper outlines the results of qualitative semi-structured interviews with the key decision makers of ten British and ten Indian ICT firms.FindingsThe findings contribute to the relatively under-researched area of how INVs enter foreign markets through collaborative entry mode. The findings suggest that INVs utilize both equity and non-equity modes of collaboration to expand their international operations. The findings also indicate that financial and non-financial resources always limit the market expansion and internationalization of such companies. Against this background, the INVs rely on building collaboration as one of the safest methods for foreign market expansion and successful internationalization. The collaborative entry mode is enhanced by entrepreneurs’ prior experience, social ties and knowledge of the foreign market.Research limitations/implicationsSet against the backdrop of an ever-increasing trend of internationalization of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the paper offers important implications for understanding the conditions and factors behind the choice of collaborative and non-collaborative entry modes by INVs in particular and SMEs more broadly.Originality/valueThe paper is one of the few studies that have examined the role of collaborative entry modes choice adopted by INVs from two of the largest economies – the UK and India.

Authors: Corcoba Judith , Portilla Raigam Jafet Martinez 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
Jihadist terrorism is one of the most important current global issues. Terrorism is an instrument of fear and fear an instrument of news. The purpose of this paper is to understand the difference in propaganda between the most powerful terrorist groups and the association with the Islamic State group (ISIS).

Design/methodology/approach
This cross-sectional study has been carried out on the usage of propagandistic material. For the analyses, two different groups have been created, propaganda emitted from the Islamic State group and propaganda from the other main terrorist groups (Boko Haram, Taliban, Al-Qaeda).

Findings
It has been proved that there are significant differences between the Islamic State propaganda and the other main groups.

Originality/value
This study has been conducted in order to provide a comparison of the propaganda content of the main jihadist groups.
Business models in tourism – state of the art
Authors: Reinhold Stephan , Zach Florian J. , Krizaj Dejan 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to review the state of the art for the Tourism Review special issue on “Business Models in Tourism”. The authors’ purpose is twofold: first, to contextualize the empirical and conceptual contributions featured in the special issue in relation to the state of research on business models in tourism. Second, the authors position the special issue in the broader scholarly conversation on business models to identify avenues for future research.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors systematically review the content of tourism-specific business model studies from leading literature databases to answer four questions relevant for future work on business models in tourism: First, how do tourism scholars define the business model concept? Second, what is the ontological stance (object, schema or tool) of existing studies of tourism business models? Third, what are the methodological preferences of existing work on business models in tourism? And finally, what qualifies as rigorous business model research?

Findings
From the critical review of 32 contributions, the authors identify a minimal consensus and dominant approach to conceptualizing the business model concept in tourism studies. In addition, the authors reveal a strong preference for small-n case study research designs. In sum, those findings point to important gaps and design decisions for future business model studies in tourism.

Originality/value
This review of the state of research on business models in tourism details research opportunities with regard to theory, methods and applications that tourism scholars can investigate to contribute to the theory and practice of business model management.
Offspring diet supersedes the transgenerational effects of parental diet in a specialist herbivore Neolema abbreviata under manipulated foliar nitrogen variability
Authors: Mbande Abongile , Tedder Michelle , Chidawanyika Frank 
Published: October 2018

AbstractDiet quality influences organismal fitness within and across generations. For herbivorous insects, the transgenerational effects of diet remain relatively underexplored. Using a 3 × 3 × 2 factorial experiment, we evaluated how N enrichment in parental diets of Neolema abbreviata (Larcordaire) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a biological control agent for Tradescantia fluminensis Vell. (Commelinaceae), may influence life history and performance of F1 and F2 offspring under reciprocal experiments. We found limited transgenerational effects of foliar nitrogen variability among life‐history traits in both larvae and adults. Larval weight gain and mortality were responsive to parental diet contrary to feeding damage, pupal weight and duration taken to pupate. There were significant parental diet × test interactions in larval feeding damage, weight gain, pupal weight and time to pupation. Generally, offspring from parents under high N plants performed better even under low N test plants. Adult traits including oviposition selection, feeding weight and longevity did not respond to the effects of parental diet nor its interaction with test diet as was the case in the larval stage. However, the main effects of test diet were more important in determining adult performance in both generations suggesting limited sensitivity to parental diet in the adult stage. Our results show conflicting responses to parental diet between larvae and adults of the same generation among an insect species with both actively feeding larval and adult life stages. These transgenerational effects, or lack thereof, may have implications on the field performance of N. abbrevita under heterogeneous nutritional landscapes.

Published: October 2018

BackgroundWe compared the treatment outcomes of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and metastasectomy in patients with pulmonary metastases.MethodsTwenty‐one patients received SBRT (total radiation doses 60 Gy in 3 fractions or 48 Gy in 4 fractions) and 30 underwent metastasectomy, most (93.3%) with wedge resection. The patients were followed for a median of 13.7 months. The tumor size in the SBRT group was larger than in the metastasectomy group (median 2.5 vs. 1.25 cm; P = 0.015). Patients with synchronous metastases were more likely to be treated with SBRT than with metastasectomy (P = 0.006).ResultsThere was no significant difference in the local control rates of the treatment groups (P = 0.163). Progression‐free survival (PFS) was longer in the metastasectomy than in the SBRT group (P = 0.02), with one and two‐year PFS rates of 51.1% and 46% versus 23.8% and 11.9%, respectively. The one and two‐year overall survival (OS) rates were 95% and 81.8% in the metastasectomy group and 79.5% and 68.2%, in the SBRT group, respectively. In multivariate analysis, synchronous metastasis was related to poor PFS, and tumor size was the most significant factor affecting OS. There were no significant differences in PFS and OS between treatment groups after dividing patients according to the presence or absence of synchronous metastases.ConclusionsSBRT is considered a suitable local modality against pulmonary metastases; however, patients with synchronous metastases are only likely to obtain a small benefit from local treatment with either SBRT or surgery.
Toward a life with dignity:
Authors: PÉREZ MIGUEL 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACTIn the last decade, poor urban residents in Santiago, Chile, have powerfully struggled for the right to housing. They have done so by enrolling in neoliberal housing programs through which they seek to become homeowners by both saving money privately and applying for subsidies. In a context in which market‐based urban policies have contributed to the segregation of low‐income families in the city's peripheries, the right tola vida digna(life with dignity) has emerged as the new political horizon of these struggles. As a right based on a moral category like dignity,la vida dignareveals the actions and discourses through which the poor, while becoming ethical subjects, signify their everyday experiences with vulnerability in political terms.

Cluster Capture-Recapture to Account for Identification Uncertainty on Aerial Surveys of Animal Populations
Authors: Stevenson Ben C. , Borchers David L. , Fewster Rachel M. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Capture-recapture methods for estimating wildlife population sizes almost always require their users to identify every detected animal. Many modern-day wildlife surveys detect animals without physical capture—visual detection by cameras is one such example. However, for every pair of detections, the surveyor faces a decision that is often fraught with uncertainty: are they linked to the same individual? An inability to resolve every such decision to a high degree of certainty prevents the use of standard capture-recapture methods, impeding the estimation of animal density. Here, we develop an estimator for aerial surveys, on which two planes or unmanned vehicles (drones) fly a transect over the survey region, detecting individuals via high-definition cameras. Identities remain unknown, so one cannot discern if two detections match to the same animal; however, detections in close proximity are more likely to match. By modeling detection locations as a clustered point process, we extend recently developed methodology and propose a precise and computationally efficient estimator of animal density that does not require individual identification. We illustrate the method with an aerial survey of porpoise, on which cameras detect individuals at the surface of the sea, and we need to take account of the fact that they are not always at the surface.

Published: October 2018

SummaryObjectiveWe aimed to study the networks’ mechanism of metabolic covariance networks in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE), through examining the brain value of fluorine‐18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F‐FDG‐PET).Methods18F‐FDG‐PET images from 16 patients with mTLE were analyzed using local and global metabolic covariance network (MCN) approaches, including whole metabolic pattern analysis (WMPA), hippocampus‐based (h‐) MCN, whole brain (w‐) MCN, and edge‐based connectivity analysis (EBCA).ResultsWMPA showed a typical ipsilateral hypometabolism and contralateral hypermetabolism pattern to epileptic zones in mTLE. h‐MCN revealed decreased hippocampus‐based synchronization in contralateral regions. w‐MCN exhibited a disrupted metabolic network with globally increased small‐world properties and regionally decreased nodal metrics in the ipsilateral hemisphere. Hippocampus (h)‐EBCA and whole brain EBCA (w‐EBCA) both detected a reduced‐connectivity dominated metabolic covariant network. Moreover, the reduced interhemisphere connectivity seemingly played a major role in the aberrant epileptic topological pattern.ConclusionFrom a metabolic point of view, we demonstrated the damaging effects with reduced contralateral intranetwork metrics properties and the compensatory effects in contralateral intranetworks with increased network properties. However, the import role of significant reduced interhemisphere connection has rarely been reported in other mTLE studies. Taken together, 18F‐FDG‐PET MCN analysis provides new evidence that the mTLE is a system neurological disorder with disrupted networks.
Dermatological aspects of the S2k guidelines on Down syndrome in childhood and adolescence
Authors: Fölster‐Holst Regina , Rohrer Tilman , Jung Anna‐Maria 
Published: October 2018

SummaryWith an incidence of 1 in 700 births, Down syndrome (DS) is not an uncommon condition. It is associated with various disorders of different organ systems. Serious disorders include cardiac defects and leukemia. With an onset during the newborn period, the latter does not always progress to classic myeloid leukemia (transient myeloproliferative disorder). Skin manifestations in newborns include pustules/vesiculopustules. In individuals with DS, such lesions should not only prompt suspicion for typical neonatal rashes and infections but also for transient myeloproliferative disorder.However, most dermatoses are benign. They essentially comprise disorders of keratinization that present as xerosis, keratosis pilaris, lichenification, and ichthyosis vulgaris. Also typical but not specific is the four‐finger palmar crease (simian crease). Patients frequently develop folliculitides, which – due to elastolysis – subsequently progress to anetoderma. The known immune disturbance in DS patients explains the occurrence of autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata and vitiligo. Typical skin conditions associated with DS include elastosis perforans serpiginosa, syringomas, milia‐like calcinosis cutis, and multiple eruptive dermatofibromas.
Applying ambiguous loss theory to children of parents with an opioid use disorder
Authors: Mechling Brandy M. , Ahern Nancy R. , Palumbo Ruthanne 
Published: October 2018

AbstractProblemOpioid use disorder (OUD) has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. Children of parents with OUD are an unrepresented population, who often suffer consequences from their parent's substance abuse disorder. Such children may incur numerous psychosocial and physical losses. Without intervention, they are more likely to be diagnosed with a mental illness and/or substance use disorder (SUD).MethodsThis paper examines the experiences of children of parents with OUD using Boss's theory of ambiguous loss (AL) as a lens.FindingsChildren growing up with a parent who has an OUD experience AL through that parent's physical absence and psychological presence (e.g., the parent is out opioid‐seeking or in rehab or jail) and psychological absence but physical presence (e.g., the parent is high or in withdrawal, or is preoccupied with obtaining opioids). Evidence supports the fact that OUDs affect parenting, produce changes in the parent–child relationship, and often impact child development. Interventions that are child‐focused are lacking.ConclusionsThe application of AL theory to this problem can enhance health professionals’ understanding and need for developmentally specific interventions to care for this population. Interventions should focus on diminishing stigma and promoting psychosocial wellness and resiliency for children of parents with an OUD.

AbstractBackgroundMental health concerns are important for adolescent’s general wellbeing and they can be associated with their ability to function effectively in various aspects of their daily life.AimThe purpose of this study was to identify emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) among Jordanian adolescents and their association with academic outcomes.MethodsA descriptive correlational design was used. A total of 810 adolescents participated in the study and completed the demographic survey and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The grade point average (GPA) was used as an indicator of the academic achievement. The GPA was correlated with the SDQ scores to identify the relationship between the EBD and academic achievement.ResultsAbout 11.7% of the participants had psychological and behavioral problems. The most commonly reported problems were emotional symptoms (14.2%), conduct problems (12.5%), and hyperactivity (7.5%). There was a significant difference in psychological and behavioral problems according to the participants’ gender. There was a signiﬁcant negative relationship between the SDQ scores and the GPA.ConclusionThere is a need to identify adolescents at risk of emotional and behavioral difficulties and refer them to appropriate care and support, which in turn would improve their academic achievement.
