Fraud and guilt: rationalization strategies and the relevance of Kierkegaardian life-views
Authors: Dion Michel 
Published: February 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to use Kierkegaard’s life-views (aesthetical, ethicist and religious life-views) for better understanding the way fraudsters are dealing with their ontic-existentiell guilt, while developing rationalization tactics.

Design/methodology/approach
Rationalization tactics make possible to neutralize moral discomfort about fraudulent practices. Endorsing Kierkegaard life-views actually unveils three basic patterns fraudsters could agree with (consciously or not): the focus for individualization processes, the ontic-existentiell quest and the attitude towards guilt. Each Kierkegaardian life-view has deepened this threefold pattern in a very different way.

Findings
The aesthetician life-view is so emphasizing immediacy and pleasure that it strengthens an amoral perspective. Fraudsters could easily adopt such life-view. The ethicist is so basically concerned with morality (distinction between good and evil) that he/she cannot consciously favour fraudulent practices. At best, fraudsters may be “would-be ethicists”. As long as they are unable to feel repentance, fraudsters will not be able to fully embrace the religious life-view. At best, they may be “would-be religious”.

Research limitations/implications
The way Kierkegaard’s life-views could put light on fraudsters’ rationalization tactics has not been empirically assessed. Empirical studies that would be focussed on such topics should deepen the relevance and meaning of fraudsters’ psychological, sociological, cultural and religious/spiritual traits.

Originality/value
The paper analyzes to what extent fraudsters could feel psychological guilt, as well as ontic-existentiell guilt, as it is grounded on ontological-existential guilt (guilt as an ontological category). Taking Kierkegaard’s life-views as reference pattern, it presents the implications of being oriented towards immediacy/pleasure (avoiding guilt, at any cost), towards freedom (being aware of one’s guilt) or towards the infinite (being fully aware of one’s guilt).

Authors: Anugerah Rita , Abdillah Muhammad Rasyid , Anita Rizqa 
Published: February 2019

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the effect of authentic leadership on internal whistleblowing intention through psychological safety.

Design/methodology/approach
To test the hypotheses, the partial least square analysis is applied to questionnaire survey data from 201 employees from State Province Government of Indonesia.

Findings
The results reveal that authentic leadership and psychological safety influence the internal whistleblowing intention. The result also indicates that authentic leadership has an indirect effect on internal whistleblowing intention through psychological safety.

Originality/value
This study has made a valuable contribution for scholars and managers to the understanding of factors that affect internal whistleblowing intention at government officers in Indonesia context.
Lawyers’ predicaments in complying with the anti-money laundering law in Malaysia
Authors: Kamaruddin Saslina , Hamin Zaiton 
Published: February 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide some empirical findings on the predicaments of lawyers’ anti-money laundering (AML) compliance in Malaysia and the rationales for such predicaments.Design/methodology/approachThis paper adopts a qualitative research in which the primary data are obtained from seven case studies involving legal firms within the Klang Valley, Selangor, Malaysia, which is triangulated with the data from the Central Bank and the Malaysian Bar Council.FindingsThe authors contend that despite the vulnerability of their profession to money laundering, the level of awareness of the AML obligations amongst Malaysian legal practitioners is rather minimal. Also, the imposition of obligations upon them in policing their clients and regulating money laundering is not only onerous but also contrary to the ethics of their profession.Originality/valueThis paper fills the gap in providing the empirical evidence on lawyers’ compliance to their statutory AML obligations in Malaysia. Also, this paper could be a useful source of information for practitioners, academicians and students. It could also be a beneficial guide for policymakers for any possible future amendments to the law.
Brand hypocrisy from a consumer perspective: scale development and validation
Authors: Guèvremont Amélie 
Published: February 2019

Purpose
There is increasing interest in understanding negative consumer reactions to brands and the nature of negative brand perceptions. The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize the construct of brand hypocrisy from a consumer perspective and develop a scale to measure it.

Design/methodology/approach
A multiphase scale development process involving 559 consumers was conducted. Study 1 pertains to item generation and reduction phases. Study 2 reports on scale purification and validation through confirmatory factor analyses and model comparisons. Study 3 focuses on discriminant and predictive validity, while Study 4 further investigates predictive validity using real brands with differences in brand hypocrisy.

Findings
A 12-item scale measuring four dimensions of brand hypocrisy is developed: image hypocrisy (brand failing to put words into action), mission hypocrisy (brand exerting an unacknowledged negative impact on society or consumer well-being), message hypocrisy (brand conveying unrealistic or unattainable images) and social hypocrisy (brand supporting social responsibility initiatives for strategic purposes only). Results indicate that brand hypocrisy is distinguishable from similar constructs in the literature and that it is a significant predictor of negative word-of-mouth and brand distance.

Practical implications
This conceptualization provides managers with a detailed understanding of what constitutes a hypocritical brand in the eyes of consumers as well as insights about how to prevent consumer perceptions of brand hypocrisy.

Originality/value
Findings enrich the understanding of negative consumer inferences related to brands and provide a conceptualization of an understudied but increasingly relevant form of brand judgment.
Affirming the research party reference model
Authors: Riehman-Murphy Christina , Hunter Jennifer 
Published: February 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence of the value of Research Parties, a new model of supplementary reference in a social environment.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey of multiple choice and open-ended questions was administered to Research Party participants (n = 43) over the course of three semesters to discover the profiles of the undergraduate students who attended and how they heard about the event and to assess the value of the interaction to the student.

Findings
Respondents unanimously agreed that their interactions with librarians at Research Parties were helpful because their information seeking needs, including finding sources, learning how to search databases, gaining clarity into the assignment, writing and citing, were met. Respondents also mentioned attributes of the librarian’s disposition or attitude such as enthusiastic conversation, encouragement and patience. Several students reflected on their own learning process and noted that they would seek help from a librarian again.

Practical implications
The results demonstrate that Research Parties are helpful to undergraduate students and a worthwhile model for academic libraries looking to complement their traditional reference services.

Originality/value
While faculty and administrators have verbally expressed excitement about Research Parties, librarian colleagues have anecdotally reported success instituting this model at their institutions, and students have provided informal positive feedback, this is the first time the model has been evaluated more formally to capture its value.
Engaging consultants in green projects: exploring the practice in Malaysia
Authors: Zainul Abidin Nazirah , Amir Shariffuddin Nadia Alina 
Published: February 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the practice of engaging key project consultants for the development of green projects in Malaysia.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach is adopted in this research using the face-to-face semi-structured interview process with 18 respondents consisting of developers and architects of green projects that have obtained green certification by the Malaysian Green Building Index.FindingsThe engagement of consultants is divided into three stages: engagement method; consultant selection method; and evaluation process. The engagement method can be initiated by the client or through the architect. The direct selection is the preferred strategy in engaging architects, while open strategy is commonly adopted for engaging other key consultants. The evaluation process consists of request for proposal evaluation and negotiation before appointment is awarded. In addition, there are four main criteria in selecting the consultants: client’s preference, fee flexibility, green project requirement and consultant firm’s internal strengths.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is based on the Malaysian context and based on the engagement of main consultants in green development projects and, thus, cannot be generalised to other consultants’ engagement in conventional projects.Practical implicationsThis research presents the process that can contribute to better planning, controlling and management of the consultants’ engagement process. The selection criteria shall form a reference in selecting the most suitable consultants for the project.Originality/valueThis study attempts to understand how consultants are engaged in green projects, an important management stage in project initiation, but has received little attention in the past.

SummaryWhen resources are limited, the hypocrealean fungus Trichoderma guizhouense can overgrow another hypocrealean fungus Fusarium oxysporum, cause sporadic cell death and arrest growth. A transcriptomic analysis of this interaction shows that T. guizhouense undergoes a succession of metabolic stresses while F. oxysporum responded relatively neutrally but used the constitutive expression of several toxin‐encoding genes as a protective strategy. Because of these toxins, T. guizhouense cannot approach it is potential host on the substrate surface and attacks F. oxysporum from above. The success of T. guizhouense is secured by the excessive production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is stored in microscopic bag‐like guttation droplets hanging on the contacting hyphae. The deletion of NADPH oxidase nox1 and its regulator, nor1 in T. guizhouense led to a substantial decrease in H2O2 formation with concomitant loss of antagonistic activity. We envision the role of NOX proteins in the antagonism of T. guizhouense as an example of metabolic exaptation evolved in this fungus because the primary function of these ancient proteins was probably not linked to interfungal relationships. In support of this, F. oxysporum showed almost no transcriptional response to T. guizhouense Δnox1 strain indicating the role of NOX/H2O2 in signalling and fungal communication.
Widespread detection of Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis, a polyphosphate‐accumulating organism, in sediments of the Columbia River estuary
Authors: Watson Sheree J. , Needoba Joseph A. , Peterson Tawnya D. 
Published: February 2019

SummaryEnhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) exploits the metabolism of polyphosphate‐accumulating organisms (PAOs) to remove excess phosphorus (P) from wastewater treatment. Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis (Accumulibacter) is the most abundant and well‐studied PAO in EBPR systems. In a previous study, we detected polyphosphates throughout peripheral bay sediments, and hypothesized that an estuary is an ideal setting to evaluate PAOs in a natural system, given that estuaries are characterized by dynamic dissolved oxygen fluctuations that potentially favour PAO metabolism. We detected nucleotide sequences attributable to Accumulibacter (16S rRNA, ppk1) in sediments within three peripheral bays of the Columbia River estuary at abundances rivalling those observed in conventional wastewater treatment plants (0.01%–2.6%). Most of the sequences attributable to Accumulibacter were Type I rather than Type II, despite the fact that the estuary does not have particularly high nutrient concentrations. The highest diversity of Accumulibacter was observed in oligohaline peripheral bays, while the greatest abundances were observed at the mouth of the estuary in mesohaline sediments in the spring and summer. In addition, an approximately 70% increase in polyphosphate concentrations observed at one of the sites between dawn and dusk suggests that PAOs may play an important role in P cycling in estuary sediments.
How Much Have Lending Standards Constrained US Recovery After the Financial Crisis?
Authors: Fukač Martin 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThis article uses a stylised vector autoregression to estimate the impact of shocks to lending standards on the depth of US recession and duration of recovery from the 2007−2008 financial crisis. It estimates that the US economic activity was about 0.5 percentage points lower every quarter than in the case when banks’ lending standards had not tightened beyond the levels warranted by economic fundamentals. The article further shows empirical evidence that the economic contraction of 2008−2009 would have been 2 percentage points of GDP milder in the absence of the shocks to lending standards sentiment. Finally, the lending sentiment seemed to switch to a loosening bias when GDP recovered to its pre‐recession levels in 2012.

Authors: Kong Sherry Tao , Wu Qiong 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThe China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) is a large‐scale multidisciplinary social survey started in 2010 and followed‐up every two years since, covering 25 provinces, representing 95 per cent of the Chinese population. Through tracking of individuals, families and communities over time, the CFPS provides high‐quality longitudinal data for academic/scientific investigation and policy research in important areas such as Chinese society, economy, population, education and health. This article outlines the structure and components of the CFPS, with a focus on the recent changes in survey mode, questionnaire design and data dissemination.
Modelling the Socialist Kindergarten in the Early Soviet Picture Book
Authors: SADDINGTON FRANCES 
Published: February 2019

AbstractAfter the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks aimed to create a modern socialist society which would be populated by a new Soviet man, who would take control of his own destiny and build a communist future. The first generation of Soviet children were perfect modelling material for this new type of citizen and the kindergarten was marked out as one of the institutions which would foster revolutionary transformation. Picture books for young children which featured the kindergarten acted as a guidebook for the rational, socialist education which was envisaged by progressive educators. Story book kindergartens were exemplary institutions where children engaged in a collective daily routine. Stories taught the reader how play was training for work and that pre‐schoolers were capable of learning to work for the good of the group. They modelled political activism with children taking part in communist festivals and spending time with Pioneers. Authors and illustrators also realized that children were still children and embedded even the most political picture books with humour, brightly coloured pictures and easy‐to‐grasp imagery.
Patient‐centered communication in type 2 diabetes: The facilitating and constraining factors in clinical encounters
Authors: Paiva Dagmara , Abreu Liliana , Azevedo Ana , Silva Susana 
Published: February 2019

ObjectiveTo explore the perceptions of the constraining and facilitating factors to patient‐centered communication in clinical encounters of patients with type 2 diabetes and the providers involved in their care.Data Sources/Study SettingPatients (n = 12) and providers (n = 33) involved in diabetes care in northern Portugal.Study DesignSeven focus groups.Data Collection/Extraction MethodsGrounded theory, using open, axial, and selective coding.Principal FindingsPatients focused on the patient‐provider relationship, while providers emphasized the constraining factors when exchanging information and the facilitating factors regarding disease and treatment‐related behavior. Patients and providers both agreed on some constraints (power imbalance, avoidance of criticism, disease minimization, use of jargon, and insufficient competencies and consistency among providers) and facilitators (seeing patients as persons, providing tailored information in plain language, and recognizing the “wake‐up call”). Patients perceived an aggressive attitude as a barrier to communication, but providers perceived it as a facilitator. Patients included issues related to trust, respect, and psychosocial support as important factors to them. Only providers mentioned the influence of macro‐level interventions and patients’ socioeconomic position as essential factors.ConclusionsImprovements in patient‐centered communication depend on fostering the patient‐provider relationship, patients’ participation and involvement, and training providers’ communication skills.
Applications of Light Stable Isotopes (C, O, H) in the Study of Sandstone Diagenesis: A Review

Published: February 2019

AbstractThis article reviews the applications of light stable isotope, including carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, in the studies on origin and formation temperature of authigenic carbonate, quartz and clay minerals. Theoretical knowledge and analytical methods for major light stable isotopes are introduced in detail. Negative and positive δ13C values indicate significant differences on the origin of carbonate cements. The δ18O value is an effective palaeotemperature scale for authigenic minerals formation. Various fractionation equations between δ18O and temperature are proposed for carbonate cements, quartz cements and clay minerals, whose merit and demerit, applicable conditions are clarified clearly. Clumped isotope analysis can reconstruct the temperature of carbonate precipitation with no requirement on the δ18O of initial waters, which makes temperature calculation of carbonate cements formation more convenient and accurate. Hydrogen and oxygen isotopes mainly reflect the origin of diagenetic fluid for clay mineral formation, providing reliable evidence for diagenetic environment analysis. This work aims at helping researchers for better understanding the applications of light stable isotope in sandstone diagenesis.

AbstractSedimentary sequences in the Subei Basin are complex and have been affected by interactions between the ocean and rivers since the Late Pliocene, including the Yellow River, Huaihe River, and the Yangtze River. This sedimentary evolution, in particular the timing of Pleistocene transgressions, has long been a matter of controversy owing to the lack of precise chronological evidence. The aim of this study is to explore the evolution of the sedimentary environment throughout the past 3.00 Ma in this region on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of particle size and foraminifera and ostracods collected in the TZK9 core from the Subei Basin combined with geochronological studies of magnetostratigraphy, AMS14C and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). The results show that fluvial facies in the sedimentary environment from 3.00 to 1.01 Ma. There were fluvial facies and reflects six sea‐level high stands from 1.01 to 0.25 Ma. The study area was affected by four large‐scale transgressions since 0.25 Ma. The four marine sedimentary layers known as DU7 (buried at 48–52 m), DU5 (buried at 35–41 m), DU3 (buried at 16–23 m), and DU1 (buried at 2–4 m) are recorded in the MIS7 (210–250 ka), MIS5, MIS3, and Holocene, respectively. The magnitude of the DU5 transgression was identical to that of the DU3 transgression, both were larger than the DU7 transgression, and the DU1 transgression was the weakest. The variation of transgression strength reflects the influence of global changes in sea level, tectonic subsidence, shell ridges, and sand dams. In the TZK9 core, we found evidence of seven sea‐level high stands from the Early–Middle Pleistocene, and the first one caused by regional rapid subsidence and could be traced back to 0.83‐0.84 Ma. The sea‐level high stands and the age of the first one recorded above was different from other cores in eastern China, this was caused by the lack of absolute age control and the differences in paleotopography during this period. This study reconstructs sedimentary evolution, determines the transgression and its age, establishes the chronology since the Late Pliocene, and provides a scientific framework for further paleoenvironmental and tectonic studies. The results of this study highlight the important role that local tectonics and global sea level play in the sedimentary evolution and transgressions that have occurred in the western Subei Basin.
Instrument contra Human End: Self‐determination as a Right to Protect Power
Authors: Chen Chia‐Ming 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThe paper theorizes a general political‐social condition of stateless peoples, which is particularly manifested in East Asia, where traditional empires and peoples have been broken apart by imperialism, nation‐states, Japanese invasion, communist revolutions and the Cold War. Based upon such observation, the paper develops a political account of people, self‐determination and intervention. It argues against the two current major accounts,primary righttheories andremedial right onlytheories. Both accounts fail to speak to the political‐social reality faced by stateless peoples. To develop its thesis, the paper pursues two questions: Who should be recognized as a people among stateless groups? When does such a people acquire the right of self‐determination that legitimizes intervention? For the first question, the paper draws upon Iris M. Young's concept of social group and Hannah Arendt's notion of power to elaborate a ‘power’ account of people. A right of self‐determination is understood as a people's right to international protection of their self‐protective power. The paper then expounds a Lockean condition that triggers the right of intervention to protect that power. It briefly uses the cases of the Rohingya and Hong Kong to illustrate its argument.
