How to improve the stated helpfulness of hotel reviews? A multilevel approach
Authors: Liang Sai , Schuckert Markus , Law Rob 
Published: February 2019

PurposeThe prevalence of online review websites and the ever-growing difficulty of judging review quality result in the increasing need for consumers to reduce cognitive costs. Thus, the purpose of this study is to find out the determinants of review helpfulness based on a comprehensive theoretical framework and empirical model.Design/methodology/approachThis study applied a comprehensive framework, including both review content quality and reviewer background, to investigate the determinants of review helpfulness. It also presents empirical models to further control factors around product features.FindingsConsumers are more likely to give helpful votes to those informative and readable reviews accompanied by extreme ratings. Reviewers who disclose information, have a high reputation and report a poor experience are always identified as helpful. Consumers also tend to signal suggestions from users with a local cultural background as subjective and useless.Research limitationsThis study focuses on upscale hotels in China. Information registered on TripAdvisor was used presenting a residential address not nationality. Only few controlling factors available because of the limited information are shown on online review websites.Practical implicationsManagers of both hotels and online review websites need to focus on reviews and/or reviewers as KOLs who attract consumers’ attention and affect their subsequent decisions. A dialogue with those KOLs can be by focusing on responding to reviews with certain characteristics. A reward system for reviews and KOLs may benefit review quality on online review websites and reduce cognition costs.Originality/valueThis positivistic research design, with multilevel approach, presenting a comprehensive conceptual framework and empirical model not only considering review- and reviewer-related factors but also controlled factors in product or service level (hotel-related characteristics).
Territory, firms and value co-creation synergies

Published: February 2019

PurposeRecent literature on the implications of applying service-dominant (S-D) logic to conceptualise value-creation processes views territory only as an operand resource (a resource upon which an act is performed). This study aims to show that territory is both an operand and operant resource (a resource that acts on other resources) and to examine how this conceptualisation may extend knowledge about co-creation processes between a firm and its territory.Design/methodology/approachThe study develops a conceptual contribution, drawing on previous research and combining managerial thinking with architectural–urban planning thinking, using illustrative examples.FindingsThis study shows that the territory actively participates in value co-creation through interactions with other actors (e.g. firms, inhabitants and tourists). The territory is not only an output of human actions but also a process through which its essence and traits emerge over time. It can infinitely inspire firms with ideas, provided they are able to listen to it and recognise its value co-creator nature.Research limitations/implicationsContrary to the traditional firm location theory, this study highlights that a territory’s attractiveness is related to its potential, active contribution to value co-creation. The study’s arguments provide a contribution to the current debate about territorial servitisation but should be refined through empirical analyses.Practical implicationsThe paper provides suggestions on platform-designing methods – supported by technologies – to enable the territory to engage in value co-creation.Originality/valueWhile some studies have applied the S-D logic to territories, this study is the first to recognise that the territory has an active role in value co-creation.

Abstract

Land sparing has been proposed as a strategy to reconcile biodiversity conservation with agricultural production, with empirical studies on five continents indicating that most species would benefit if food demand was met through high‐yield farming combined with the protection or restoration of natural habitat.

Most such studies come from landscapes covered by large areas of natural habitat and without a long history of intense human modification. However, much of Europe consists of human‐dominated landscapes, where biodiversity responses to land sparing may differ. To test this, we use estimates of bird population density in different (semi‐)natural habitats, and forecasts of population density in farmland habitat, to assess the future consequences for birds of land‐sparing scenarios in the United Kingdom.

Our scenarios predict that whilst up to 18 of the 156 species assessed (predominantly farmland associated species) might decline in UK conservation status under land sparing, up to 35 UK bird species (mainly woodland and wetland species) might improve in status. This contrasts with a maximum of eight species likely to improve in conservation status without land sparing, with up to seven species deteriorating.

Combining land sparing with demand management measures (reducing food waste and the consumption of animal products) led to more positive population changes under all scenarios.

Synthesis and applications. Land sparing has the potential to benefit UK bird populations in aggregate but would likely have negative impacts on farmland bird species. These findings are likely to be applicable across human‐dominated landscapes beyond the UK, though effects on other taxa, implementation mechanisms and the sustainability of higher yields all require careful consideration.
Social network engagement and subjective well‐being: a life‐course perspective
Authors: Wheatley Daniel , Buglass Sarah L. 
Published: February 2019

AbstractSocial networking is a digital phenomenon embraced by billions worldwide. Use of online social platforms has the potential to generate a number of benefits including to well‐being from enhanced social connectedness and social capital accumulation, but is also associated with several negative behaviours and impacts. Employing a life‐course perspective, this paper explores social networking use and its relationship with measures of subjective well‐being. Large‐scale UK panel data from wave 3 (2011–12) and 6 (2014–15) ofUnderstanding Societyreveals that social network users are on average younger, aged under 25, but that rising use is reported across the life‐course including into old age. Probit, multinomial logistic, and ANCOVA and change‐score estimations reveal that membership, and greater use, of social networks is associated with higher levels of overall life satisfaction. However, heavy use of social networking sites has negative impacts, reflected in reductions in subjective well‐being. Socio‐economic disadvantage may drive these impacts among young (in education), unemployed and economically inactive heavy SNS users.

ObjectiveTo evaluate factors affecting unselected population‐basedBRCAtesting in Ashkenazi Jews (AJ).DesignCohort‐study set within recruitment to the GCaPPS trial (ISRCTN73338115).SettingNorth London AJ population.Population or sampleAshkenazi Jews women/men >18 years, recruited through self‐referral.MethodsAshkenazi Jews women/men underwent pre‐test counselling forBRCAtesting through recruitment clinics (clusters). Consenting individuals provided blood samples forBRCAtesting. Data were collected on socio‐demographic/family history/knowledge/psychological well‐being along with benefits/risks/cultural influences (18‐item questionnaire measuring ‘attitude’). Four‐item Likert‐scales analysed initial ‘interest’ and ‘intention‐to‐test’ pre‐counselling. Uni‐ and multivariable logistic regression models evaluated factors affecting uptake/interest/intention to undergoBRCAtesting. Statistical inference was based on cluster robust standard errors and joint Wald tests for significance. Item‐Response Theory and graded‐response models modelled responses to 18‐item questionnaire.Main outcome measuresInterest, intention, uptake, attitude towardsBRCAtesting.ResultsA total of 935 individuals (women = 67%/men = 33%; mean age = 53.8 (SD = 15.02) years) underwent pre‐test genetic‐counselling. During the pre‐counselling, 96% expressed interest in and 60% indicated a clear intention to undergoBRCAtesting. Subsequently, 88% opted forBRCAtesting.BRCA‐related knowledge (P = 0.013) and degree‐level education (P = 0.01) were positively and negatively (respectively) associated with intention‐to‐test. Being married/cohabiting had four‐fold higher odds forBRCAtesting uptake (P = 0.009). Perceived benefits were associated with higher pre‐counselling odds for interest in and intention to undergoBRCAtesting. Reduced uncertainty/reassurance were the most important factors contributing to decision‐making. Increased importance/concern towards risks/limitations (confidentiality/insurance/emotional impact/inability to prevent cancer/marriage ability/ethnic focus/stigmatisation) were significantly associated with lower odds of uptake ofBRCAtesting, and discriminated between acceptors and decliners. Male gender/degree‐level education (P = 0.001) had weaker correlations, whereas having children showed stronger (P = 0.005) associations with attitudes towardsBRCAtesting.ConclusionsBRCAtesting in theAJpopulation has high acceptability. Pre‐test counselling increases awareness of disadvantages/limitations ofBRCAtesting, influencing final cost‐benefit perception and decision‐making on undergoing testing.Tweetable abstractBRCAtesting in Ashkenazi Jews has high acceptability and uptake. Pre‐test counselling facilitates informed decision‐making.

AbstractThe present study was conducted to evaluate the toxic potential of five indigenous plant oils: black pepper (Piper nigrum), Chinese cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia), garlic (Allium sativum), river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), and yellow oleander (Thevetia peruviana), against laboratory reared Sitophilus oryzae adults. The bioassays were done by the diet incorporation method with concentrations ranging from 50 ppm to 500 ppm. Based on lethal concentrations to kill 50% (LC50) of the subjected weevils, T. peruviana proved to be the most toxic having the lowest LC50 values, 414.58, 201.94, and 129.52 ppm, after 7, 14, and 21 days of exposure, respectively, followed by E. camaldulensis (475.51, 366.65, and 251.28 ppm, respectively). The rest of the plant oils also showed toxic potential, but these were less toxic compared with T. peruviana and E. camaldulensis. With respect to the time taken to cause 50% mortality (LT50) of the exposed weevils, T. peruviana had LT50 at 14.54 days followed by P. nigrum (22.09 days), E. camaldulensis (24.29 days), and C. cassia (28.71 days). Whereas, A. sativum took the longest time (44.47 days) to cause 50% mortality of the exposed weevils. In conclusion, the result revealed toxic potential of tested plant oils, and suggests further studies under simulated‐field conditions should be included in the management plan for S. oryzae.

AbstractObjectivesTo evaluate the transition from reference infliximab Remicade to biosimilar Remsima in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA).MethodsPatients were informed through a letter about the transition to a biosimilar and were subsequently contacted for possible additional questions and whether they agreed upon the transition. Once agreed, Remsima was administered at the same dosage and interval as previous treatment with Remicade. Data on the transition were analyzed in January 2018. The primary outcome was the percentage of patients continuing treatment with Remsima and secondary outcome was the change in disease activity measured with the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints using erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28‐ESR). In addition, the reasons for discontinuation with infliximab or restarting Remicade were recorded.ResultsIn total 47 patients were approached, 45 patients switched from Remicade to Remsima, two patients disagreed upon transition and continued Remicade. At the end of the follow‐up period of 2 years, 39 patients (87%) continued with Remsima, three patients (7%) restarted Remicade due to inefficacy according to the patient (this was not objectified by the rheumatologist) 2 (4%) patients switched to another biological due to lack of effect and in one patient (2%) infliximab was stopped because of lung malignancy. Furthermore, the DAS28‐ESR remained comparable before and after the switch, with a mean (SD) of 2.34 (±1.02) and 2.31 (±1.11) respectively.ConclusionIn our population, 87% of patients continued Remsima during the follow‐up period of approximately 2 years. Three patients restarted Remicade, while retaining stable DAS28‐ESR.
Business models and the managerial sensemaking process
Authors: Islam Syrus 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThis study examines the managerial sensemaking process around business models. Drawing on fieldwork, this study introduces a model to describe how managerial sensemaking occurs around business model development and use. This study shows that managerial sensemaking around business models occurs through a mutually co‐constituted process, a separate yet shared process, or a combination of them resulting from an interplay between sensemaking and sensegiving activities. To facilitate their sensemaking around business models, managers draw on several schemas. Over time, some schemas underlying business models remain unchanged, while others change in varying degrees.
Exemplary Lives and the Normative Theory of Culture
Authors: Church Jeffrey 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThis article defends an essentialist account of culture against the recent turn toward nonessentialism in contemporary liberal multiculturalism. It does so by drawing on Friedrich Nietzsche's early period and argues that Nietzsche provides an alternative to the dominant tradition of Volk conceptions of culture that derive from J. G. Herder. Nietzsche's alternative—what I call the “Exemplar Account” of culture—defines culture in terms of the patterns of human excellence that constitute it. This alternative overcomes standard concerns about essentialism by embracing the nonessentialist insight into the fluidity and variability of any culture's beliefs, values, and practices, yet holds that exemplary lives transcend the flux of culture and individuate one culture from another. I suggest in conclusion a practical benefit of this conception of culture for contemporary multiculturalism—namely, it fares better than other conceptions in fostering integration among diverse cultures, a pressing worry facing the current project of multiculturalism.
Influence of calving difficulty on dry matter intake immediately after calving of dairy cows
Authors: Reshalaitihan Maimaiti , Hanada Masaaki 
Published: February 2019

AbstractWe investigated the influence of calving difficulty on dry matter intake (DMI) in Holstein cows immediately after calving using 15 pregnant heifers and 15 multiparous cows. DMI was measured for 6 days after calving. Calving difficulty was evaluated with a calving score, and urinary cortisol was measured. The calving score was higher in the first lactation heifers than in the multiparous cows. The average DMI 6 days after calving was lower in the first lactation heifers than in the multiparous cows. The urinary cortisol concentration at 4 days after calving was higher in the first lactation heifers than in the multiparous cows and was positively associated with the calving score. The DMI was negatively associated with the calving score and the urinary cortisol concentration at 4 days after calving and was positively associated with the average milk yield 6 days after calving and the serum calcium concentration at 3 days after calving. We conclude that DMI immediately after calving is influenced not only by nutrient requirements of cows but also stress derived from calving, and the low DMI in the first lactation heifers is due to the lower energy requirement and high susceptibility to the stress compared with multiparous cows.

AbstractAimPrevious pharmacokinetic (PK) studies have proposed various dosing regimens for vancomycin in intensive care unit (ICU) patients undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT), but all are restricted to specific RRT modalities. To be useful in practice, a population PK model would need to predict vancomycin clearance during any RRT modality. Development of such a model is feasible using meta‐analysis of published summarized estimates of vancomycin PK parameters. Our aims were: (i) to develop and validate a population PK model for vancomycin that takes into account any RRT modalities, and (ii) to predict vancomycin dosing for RRT patients in ICU.MethodsVancomycin pharmacokinetics were assumed to be two‐compartmental, total body clearance being the sum of non‐RRT clearance and RRT‐induced clearance. Drug disposition and non‐RRT clearance parameters were estimated by systematic review and meta‐analysis of previously published parameter estimates. The relationship between RRT‐induced clearance and RRT flowrate settings was assessed using a model‐based meta‐analysis. Prediction performances of the PK model were assessed using external data.ResultsThe meta‐analyses of disposition parameters, non‐RRT clearance and RRT‐induced clearance included 11, 6 and 38 studies (84 RRT clearance measurements) respectively. The model performed well in predicting external individual PK data. Individual vancomycin concentrations during RRT were accurately predicted using Bayesian estimation based solely on pre‐RRT measurements.ConclusionsThe PK model allowed accurate prediction of the vancomycin pharmacokinetics during RRT in ICU patients. Based on the model of RRT‐induced clearance, an appropriate adjustment of the vancomycin dosing regimen could be proposed for any kind of flowrate settings.

ObjectivesTo investigate whether postoperative complications affect long‐term functional outcomes of renal patients treated with nephron‐sparing surgery (NSS).Materials and MethodsWe performed an observational study, enrolling 596 patients with preoperative normal renal function treated with NSS for clinical T1abN0M0 renal masses. Cox regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for chronic kidney disease (CKD) including as covariates age, comorbidity (scored according to the Charlson comorbidity index), hypertension, tumour size, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at discharge, and ischaemia time.ResultsA total of 137 patients (23%) developed postoperative complications. At a median (interquartile range) follow‐up of 53 (26–91) months, CKD risk was 19% for patients with postoperative complications and 11% for those without complications. Patients experiencing postoperative complications (HR 1.90, 95% CI 1.26–2.86) were at increased risk of developing CKD during the follow‐up at multivariable analysis, after accounting for confounders.ConclusionsOur data outline how postoperative complications might have a detrimental impact on postoperative renal function in patients submitted to NSS. Improper patient selection, increasing the risk of postoperative complications, could limit the benefit in terms of renal function brought by NSS.
Tackling early school leaving: Principals’ insights into Portuguese upper secondary schools
Authors: Araújo Helena C. , Macedo Eunice , Santos Sofia A. , Doroftei Alexandra O. 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThis article addresses Early School Leaving (ESL) as a phenomenon that is identified in the EU and European countries such as Portugal as being the result of school disaffection that can be associated with social and educational problems. The relevance of this problem at the European level is highlighted by the large number of European guidelines on the matter and by the inclusion of ESL as one of the main questions to be addressed by the Horizon 2020. Based on interviews, this article questions possible relationships between how principals perceive both ESL and the measures to deal with it and the culture of the school as an identity of differentia specifica (ethos). It should be emphasised that the approaches of these principals to ESL and the school‐based practices addressing it are quite diverse and relate to the ethos of the schools; students’ trajectories and the complex relationship between education and the labour market. The principals manifest their investment and implication in the provision of adequate measures for their specific contexts and see teachers and external partners as key actors.
Male chemical cues as reliable indicators of infection in the wolf spider Schizocosa ocreata
Authors: Gilbert Rachel , Uetz George W. 
Published: February 2019

AbstractSexual signals can convey important information about mate quality, such as critical information about a signaler's health status, helping an individual to avoid infected or immunocompromised conspecifics. Chemical signals are especially important in this context, because they represent an honest and dynamic signaling modality that receivers can use to make updated mate choice decisions to avoid compromising their own health. In this study, we investigated the viability of male chemical cues in the wolf spider Schizocosa ocreata as a reliable indicator of health status. Using video playback with images of an average male that is simultaneously paired with male cuticular compounds on filter paper, we show that females are more receptive to videos paired with cues from control males rather than infected males. We also show that these cuticular compounds can be isolated and retain similar female behavioral responses when extracted with a nonpolar solvent, suggesting that these cuticular compounds may not be just complex hydrocarbons, but a combination of cuticular compounds. This is the first evidence for female discrimination and recognition of male chemical cues in this species, which opens up important new avenues of research in a well‐studied species with complex multimodal signaling.
