Multi-professional teamwork in human services
Authors: Nylén Ulrica 
Published: August 2018

PurposeThis paper investigates the prospects and difficulties of multi-professional teamwork in human services from a professional identity perspective. The purpose of this paper is to explore the mutual interplay between professional identity formation and team activities.Design/methodology/approachThis is a process study of two cases of multi-professional teamwork in family care. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with team members and managers. The analysis follows a stepwise approach alternating between the individual and team levels.FindingsIn showing the mutual interplay between teamwork processes and individual identity formation, the study contributes knowledge on professional identity formation of mature professionals; in particular showing how unique individual identification processes have different consequences for multi-professional team activities. Further, alternative shapes of interplay between individual identity formation and team-level processes are identified.Research limitations/implicationsDespite the fact that the sample is small and that collaboration intensity was relatively low, the paper succeeds in conceptualising the links between professional identity formation and multi-professional teamwork.Practical implicationsIn managing multi-professional teams, team composition and the team’s early developments seem determining for whether the team will reach its collaborative intentions.Originality/valueThis paper is original in its exploration of the ongoing interplay between individual identity formation and multi-professional team endeavours. Further, the paper contributes knowledge on mature professionals’ identity formation, particularly concerning individual variation within and between professional groups.
Open innovation based knowledge management implementation: a mediating role of knowledge management design
Authors: Wu Ing-Long , Hu Ya-Ping 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
Knowledge-based organizations is a new paradigm for business. Knowledge management (KM) is important for supporting core business processes. This paper aims to define an open innovation (OI)-driven KM implementation for effectively executing the support.

Design/methodology/approach
KM is important for supporting organizational innovation. OI plays a critical determinant role in defining the design of KM for effectively supporting OI. Further, the final goal of KM is to reach the success of OI-based KM implementation. A model is thus proposed for connecting OI as a driver to a design of KM and, in turn, KM implementation. Survey is conducted to collect data. Partial least squares is used for analysis.

Findings
The three processes of OI partially present significant impact on the design of KM process and, in turn, a noticeable achievement of KM implementation. The two KM processes indicate an interaction effect for reinforcement mutually. The findings provide rich evidence into the argument that OI-based KM implementation through the mediator of the design of KM process is important for a successful KM in organizations.

Practical/implications
While OI is a phenomenon that has increasingly become critical for the contemporary business, the design of KM mechanism needs to be adapted from the choice of OI process for guaranteeing the success of KM implementation.

Originality/value
Extant theories did not provide such an approach to develop an effective KM implementation in terms of the important management concept, OI, in organizations. This model empirically demonstrates its capability to work on this issue.

Published: August 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between abusive supervision and employee health and safety outcomes in Study 1 and to examine the effect of inconsistent leadership, operationalized as the interaction between transformational leadership and supervisor incivility, on employee safety participation in Study 2.Design/methodology/approachIn Study 1, survey data were gathered fromn=145 healthcare workers. In Study 2, survey data were gathered fromn=177 nurses.FindingsA partially mediated structural model was estimated in Study 1 and the results show that the model provided a good fit to the dataχ2(1)=1.27,p=0.23. Abusive supervision predicted safety climate (β=−0.41,p<0.01) and psychological health (β=−0.27,p<0.01). Safety climate, in turn, predicted psychological health (β= 0.40,p<0.01) and safety participation (β= 0.37,p<0.01). Study 2: moderated regression analysis showed that inconsistent leadership significantly predicted employee safety participation,F(5,144)=4.46,p<0.01.Originality/valueTheoretical and practical implications for creating psychologically healthy workplaces through interventions aimed at improving leader effectiveness are discussed.
Mood metadata on Chinese music websites: an exploratory study with user feedback
Authors: Hu Xiao , Cheong Christy W.L. , Zhang Siwei , Downie J. Stephen 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
Music mood is an important metadata type on online music repositories and stream music services worldwide. Many existing studies on mood metadata have focused on music websites and services in the Western world to the exclusion of those serving users in other cultures. The purpose of this paper is to bridge this gap by exploring mood labels on influential Chinese music websites.

Design/methodology/approach
Mood labels and the associated song titles were collected from six Chinese music websites, and analyzed in relation to mood models and findings in the literature. An online music listening test was conducted to solicit users’ feedback on the mood labels on two popular Chinese music websites. Mood label selections on 30 songs from 64 Chinese listeners were collected and compared to those given by the two websites.

Findings
Mood labels, although extensively employed on Chinese music websites, may be insufficient in meeting listeners’ needs. More mood labels of high arousal semantics are needed. Song languages and user familiarity to the songs show influence on users’ selection of mood labels given by the websites.

Practical implications
Suggestions are proposed for future development of mood metadata and mood-enabled user interfaces in the context of global online music access.

Originality/value
This paper provides insights on understanding the mood metadata on Chinese music websites and uniquely contributes to existing knowledge of culturally diversified music access.
Trait evolution in tropical rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) trees is related to dry season intensity

Published: August 2018

AbstractDrought shapes the distribution and survival of trees even in tropical wet forests, and the wood and leaf trait spectra are used to understand drought adaptations. However, trait variation may result from ontogenetic adjustment or be related to tree size and not reflect evolutionary adaptations.Intraspecific variation in adaptations to drought can be an important factor in a species’ distribution and response to climate change, but excluding potentially confounding factors and proving adaptive evolution are challenging. Provenance trials can identify hereditary variability.We analysed wood and leaf traits in rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) tree clones from 15 locations in the Amazon basin that were planted in northern Thailand, controlled for tree size, tested for genetic relatedness and the phylogenetic signal in traits and compared trait variations with the climate at the location of origin.Correlations between traits and tree size were low. Intraspecific trait variation was similar to relationships in published among‐species comparisons, and correlations among wood traits and correlations among leaf traits were stronger than between wood and leaf traits. Genotype explained 30%–70% of the trait variation, and traits differed in how much of this variation was controlled by location or the relatedness among clones.There was no correlation with mean temperature or total annual rainfall. However, rainfall in the driest quarter (19–199 mm) was strongly related to leaf mass per area, carbon isotopic composition and area‐based nitrogen content (r2 = 0.54–0.70) and weaker to wood traits (vessel density and vessel lumen fraction). Trees from locations with a stronger dry season also had higher growth rates in Thailand.All traits correlating with climate showed a significant phylogenetic signal. We found no evidence of increased drought tolerance, but the trait spectrum and higher growth in trees from drier locations suggest that deciduous rubber trees have adapted via drought avoidance rather than tolerance. Our study also underlines the importance of looking at a suite of traits rather than individual ones to understand adaptive strategies.Aplain language summaryis available for this article.
Flowers with poricidal anthers and their complex interaction networks—Disentangling legitimate pollinators and illegitimate visitors
Authors: Mesquita‐Neto José N. , Blüthgen Nico , Schlindwein Clemens 
Published: August 2018

Abstract

In flowers with poricidal anthers, pollen is not freely accessible and legitimate access is restricted to bees capable of vibrating the anthers. Despite the protection of pollen provided by poricidal anthers, numerous illegitimate, non‐buzz‐pollinating flower visitors rob pollen.

We aimed to quantify the influence of functional groups of floral visitors and illegitimate interactions on the network structure to disentangle the flower visitor network into its mutualistic and antagonistic components.

We delimited three functional groups of bees based on their pollen collection behaviour in poricidal flowers: large bees that vibrate entire flowers in a single buzzing position (flower buzzing), bees vibrating single anthers in different positions (anther buzzing) and non‐vibrating flower‐damaging or gleaning bees (non‐buzzing). Moreover, we characterized legitimate and illegitimate interactions of co‐occurring and co‐flowering plants and their flower visitors based on the stigma contact during a visit. Since we independently assessed the type of interaction with bee–plant species combinations, we were able to include the behavioural variations of each bee species across different flowers.

The networks were modular, with stronger interactions within subsets of species than among the subsets. All modules included a combination of flower‐, anther‐ and non‐buzzing bees, and mutualistic and antagonistic networks were intermingled. Seven bee species shifted their roles across plant species. Specialization in the subset of interactions with pollinators was higher than the overall visitation network. Flower‐buzzing bees were more specialized than anther‐buzzing and non‐buzzing bees, which used virtually all poricidal flowers similarly.

Although plants with poricidal anthers shared a specialized mechanism of pollen release, their pollinators were highly dissimilar and formed compartments of interacting species. The interaction‐level approach taken in our study confers a high specificity to the pollinator network, leading to a more complex and realistic picture of mutualistic webs versus its embedded florivory, which are otherwise confounded in pooled networks across flower visitors.

Published: August 2018

Abstract

Clarifying the functional consequences of intraspecific trait variability in response to interacting trophic levels would provide a significant improvement in our understanding of above‐ground–below‐ground linkages. In particular, the effects of grazing on plant traits may translate into altered litter quality, with potentially important consequences for litter‐feeding decomposers. Plant and litter variability in response to grazing is expected to depend on soil fertility levels, with tolerance and defensive strategies more commonly expressed on fertile and poorer soils, respectively. However, how grazing and fertility interactively alter litter quality and palatability to detritivores has not been explored yet.

We conducted a cafeteria experiment with three common millipede (Diplopoda) species feeding on leaf litter from two plant species, the grass Bromopsis erecta and the forb Potentilla verna. Each millipede was offered a binary choice between litter types produced by the same plant species, but sampled in plots with distinct herbivory and fertilization status: litter originating from grazed areas or from 1‐year sheep exclosures, both in native areas and in adjacent paddocks that received chemical N and P fertilization, as well as litter from a 25‐year sheep exclosures in the native area.

We found that fertilization and herbivore exclusion interactively affected Bromopsis litter quality and palatability, whereas Potentilla was much less affected. Bromopsis litter palatability was not affected by grazing when litter was collected in native plots, except for the long‐term exclosure which led to low palatability. In contrast, and in line with our expectations, herbivory was associated with much higher palatability in fertilized plots. The changes in palatability were associated with important alterations of litter quality.

Overall, our study demonstrates that intraspecific variation in litter can have profound consequences for soil functioning. It emphasizes the role of grazing as a key, but plant species‐specific factor controlling litter intraspecific variability, and its complex interaction with soil fertility level. Moreover, our results advocate for a better understanding of the response of the different organisms involved in the decomposition process, in particular litter‐feeding macro‐detritivores. We encourage future studies aiming at disentangling the various and complex relationships between above‐ground processes such as herbivory and soil functioning.

AbstractBackgroundDepressive symptoms are common in children with developmental language disorder (DLD). However, risk and protective factors contributing to these problems are currently underspecified.AimsThe current longitudinal study examined the role of emotion‐regulation (ER) strategies in the severity of depressive symptoms in children with and without DLD, taking into account the severity of communication problems of children with DLD.Methods & ProceduresWe followed clinically referred children with DLD (n = 114, 49% girls) and without DLD (n = 214, 58% girls) between the ages of 8 and 16 years across an 18‐month period. Participants completed self‐report questionnaires at three time points. Parents of children with DLD reported on their child's communication problems.Outcomes & ResultsMultilevel analyses confirmed higher levels of depressive symptoms in youngsters with DLD compared with peers without DLD, with a decrease across time in the DLD group. In both groups, higher levels of approach and increasing avoidant strategies aimed at distraction or trivializing a problem explained lower depressive symptoms, whereas more worry and externalizing strategies contributed to more depressive symptoms. Within the DLD group, semantic language problems were associated with higher depressive symptoms. However, this relation was mediated by the tendency to worry or use externalizing strategies.Conclusions & ImplicationsResults suggest that interventions for children with DLD should focus on enhancing their adaptive ER strategies to help them cope with daily stressors just as in the general population.

ObjectiveTo assess the association between the outcome of a woman's first pregnancy and risk of clinical cardiovascular disease risk factors.DesignProspective cohort study.Setting and populationNurses’ Health Study II.MethodsMultivariable‐adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used to compute hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations between first pregnancy outcome and hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia.Main outcome measuresHypertension, type 2 diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia.ResultsCompared to women who reported a singleton live first birth, women with early spontaneous abortion (<12 weeks) had a greater rate of type 2 diabetes (HR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.07–1.34) and hypercholesterolemia (HR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.02–1.10), and a marginally increased rate of hypertension (HR: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.00–1.11). Late spontaneous abortion (12–19 weeks) was associated with an increased rate of type 2 diabetes (HR: 1.38; 95% CI: 1.14–1.65), hypercholesterolemia (HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.03–1.19), and hypertension (HR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.05–1.25). The rates of type 2 diabetes (HR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.13–1.87) and hypertension (HR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.01–1.30) were higher in women who delivered stillbirth. In contrast, women whose first pregnancy ended in an induced abortion had lower rates of hypertension (HR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.84–0.91) and type 2 diabetes (HR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.79–0.99) than women with a singleton live birth.ConclusionsSeveral types of pregnancy loss were associated with an increased rate of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia, which may provide novel insight into the pathways through which pregnancy outcomes and CVD are linked.Tweetable abstractPregnancy loss is associated with later maternal risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia.
Atypical Suicide by Submachine Gun
Authors: Kolopp Martin , Blum Alain , Leupold Marc‐Antoine , Martrille Laurent 
Published: August 2018

AbstractIn case of suicide, the presence of multiple entrance wounds is always suspicious. We report the case of a man who committed suicide by shooting himself three times in the chest and the skull with a submachine gun. The weapon seems to have been initially pointed in the precordium area with a lethal lesion of the proximal aorta. Two other projectiles were fired by the weapon and hit the neck and the skull of the deceased. The presence of three entrance wounds despite a first fatal wound could finally be explained by the characteristics of the weapon and wounds. Most suicides related to multiple gunshot wounds are explained by a first nonlethal shot but the use of an automatic weapon can also be found. In these last cases, medicolegal and criminalistics aspects become important in differentiating suicide and homicide.
Collusion with limited product comparability
Authors: de Roos Nicolas 
Published: August 2018

AbstractWe examine the effect of limited product comparability on the viability of collusion. Firms choose messages to influence consumer product comparison. The cartel hinders transparency on the equilibrium path and seeks it for optimal punishment. Five conditions are each sufficient to ensure obfuscation aids collusion: if firms can mix over messages or commit to messages, if messages are informative, or if an individual firm or the cartel can control comparability. We also analyze the impact of message differentiation and complexity for optimal messages, and identify a key role for the convexity or concavity of comparison probabilities in these features.
Fuel taxation, emissions policy, and competitive advantage in the diffusion of European diesel automobiles
Authors: Miravete Eugenio J. , Moral María J. , Thurk Jeff 
Published: August 2018

AbstractEconomic integration agreements have significantly decreased import tariffs. We investigate whether national policies can be an effective replacement for tariffs to protect domestic industry. We show that (a) European fuel taxes and vehicle emissions policy favored diesel vehicles, a technology popular with European consumers but largely offered only by domestic automakers; (b) European automakers benefited from pro‐diesel fuel taxes and a lenient NOx emissions policy to earn significant profits from diesel cars; and (c) that both policies amounted to significant nontariff trade policies equivalent to an import tariff between two to three times the official rate.
The determinants of product lines
Authors: Johnson Justin P. , Myatt David P. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractWe study product line choice allowing for cost asymmetries but ruling out strategic motivations such as a desire to soften competition. We identify two forces that interact with asymmetric competition to shape equilibrium product lines. Possible outcomes range from head‐to‐head competition to complete separation of product lines and include the intermediate case of partial separation. In an international trade context, we predict which qualities a disadvantaged foreign producer will specialize in. If cost factors drive quality‐based discrimination then foreign firms sell only lower qualities. However, if demand factors are the main drivers then foreign firms sell only high qualities.
Strategic design under uncertain evaluations: structural analysis of design‐build auctions
Authors: Takahashi Hidenori 
Published: August 2018

AbstractI investigate firms' competition over price and product design under uncertain design evaluations in the context of Design‐Build (DB) auctions. Reviewers' design evaluations contain uncertainty from a bidder's perspective, leading luck to dampen differences in the firms' chances of winning. I model bidders' behavior and show semiparametric identification of the model primitives. Uncertain design evaluations increase the expected price of design quality and exacerbate an auctioneer's uncertainty in auction outcomes. These effects are mostly due to changes in bidding strategies. Bid ranking swaps due to uncertain evaluations account for a small share of these effects.
Cross‐licensing and competition
Authors: Jeon Doh‐Shin , Lefouili Yassine 
Published: August 2018

AbstractWe analyze the competitive effects of bilateral cross‐licensing agreements in a setting with many competing firms. We show that firms can sustain the monopoly outcome if they can sign unconstrained bilateral cross‐licensing contracts. This result is robust to increasing the number of firms who can enter into a cross‐licensing agreement. We also investigate the scenario in which a cross‐licensing contract cannot involve the payment of a royalty by a licensee who decides ex post not to use the licensed technology. Finally, policy implications regarding the antitrust treatment of cross‐licensing agreements are derived.
Multidimensional private information, market structure, and insurance markets
Authors: Fang Hanming , Wu Zenan 
Published: August 2018

AbstractWe investigate whether selection based on multidimensional private information in risks and risk preferences can, under different market structures, result in a negative correlation between insurance coverage and ex post realization of risk. We show that, under perfect competition, selection based on multidimensional private information does not result in the negative correlation property, unless there is a sufficiently high loading factor. However, it is possible to generate the negative correlation property under monopoly when risk and risk preference types are sufficiently negative dependent. We also clarify the connections between important concepts such as adverse/advantageous selection and positive/negative correlation property.
