The role of familiarity in consumer destination image formation
Authors: Kim Soyeon , Lehto Xinran , Kandampully Jay 
Published: September 2019

Purpose
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of destination familiarity on consumers’ evaluations (cognitive image) and feelings (affective image) about the destination, leading to their intention to visit.

Design/methodology/approach
The data for this study were collected through a Web-based survey. Based on a sample of 460 respondents, structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed hypotheses.

Findings
The results showed that familiarity with a destination not only influences consumers’ cognitive evaluations of the destination but also affects their feelings about it, which translates into their intentions in travelling to the destination. The findings indicate that destination familiarity can enhance consumers’ knowledge about the destination, but more importantly, their affective perceptions can lead to a higher likelihood of visiting a destination.

Practical implications
The findings provide useful guidance for efficient marketing programs to attract more visitors to a certain tourist destination. Destination marketers must assess the level of familiarity of potential travelers in the development, design and promotion of a destination. This understanding will enable the marketers to more effectively communicate with their target markets and allow them to tailor advertising to different segments of their customers based on their familiarity.

Originality/value
The majority of previous studies regarding destination familiarity tend to measure the overall familiarity or experiential familiarity (e.g. a comparison between visitors vs non-visitors) without considering consumers’ indirect familiarity with a destination. This study attempts to conceptualize and empirically test the role of destination familiarity on consumers’ cognitive and affective images and intentions.

AbstractInfantile hemangioma (IH) is a type of benign tumor that develops during infancy and spontaneously involutes after 1 year of age. Before the introduction of propranolol in 2008, some patients with IH were instructed to wait for the involution without treatment. This long‐term follow‐up study was conducted to assess the prognosis of East‐Asian children with untreated deep or mixed facial IH. Skin sequelae were assessed by comparing images obtained during the patients’ first and last visits in our clinic. Possible factors were assessed for their association with IH prognosis. The mean follow‐up time was 7.4 years. Among the 48 patients with deep or mixed facial IH, 26 (54%) achieved complete involution without sequelae and 22 encountered various sequelae, including telangiectasia (36.3%), fibrofatty residue (68.2%), and scars (4%). The complete regression rate of deep or mixed IH occurring in the central facial region was significantly lower than for those in the perifacial region (33.3% vs 66.7%, respectively, χ2, P = 0.025). Further, the most common sequelae in this area are fibrofatty residue.
Untold stories of living with a bariatric body: long‐term experiences of weight‐loss surgery
Authors: Berg Anita 
Published: September 2019

AbstractThis article explores patients' long‐term experiences after undergoing bariatric surgery (BS) by individual interviews and the interplay between biographical disruption and biographical flow when the body's normal physiology and anatomy are intentionally altered. Based on interpretative phenomenological analysis the findings show that the bariatric body is still prominent in daily life, positively by displacing the overweight body and negatively due to the development of unexpected health problems after surgery. Due to individual informed consent to the treatment, the negative consequences are perceived as self‐inflicted. The feelings of responsibility and shame make it difficult to seek help and to be open about undesirable long‐term effects and other health problems after surgery. The study argues that undergoing BS is a disruptive event with uncertain long‐term outcomes and living with a bariatric body as a vulnerable life continuously at the intersection of biographical disruption, flow and reinforcement. This study reinforces the importance of doing critical sociological studies of standardised medical interventions which aim to improve patients health problems. Included in these types of studies should be the patients' long‐term experiences and the awareness not to uncritically present their experiences as universal and the treatment result solely as the patients' own responsibility.

Authors: Crossley Scott A. , Skalicky Stephen , Dascalu Mihai 
Published: September 2019

BackgroundAdvances in natural language processing (NLP) and computational linguistics have facilitated major improvements on traditional readability formulas that aim at predicting the overall difficulty of a text. Recent studies have identified several types of linguistic features that are theoretically motivated and predictive of human judgments of text readability, which outperform predictions made by traditional readability formulas, such as Flesch–Kincaid. The purpose of this study is to develop new readability models using advanced NLP tools to measure both text comprehension and reading speed.MethodsThis study used crowdsourcing techniques to collect human judgments of text comprehension and reading speed across a diverse variety of topic domains (science, technology and history). Linguistic features taken from state‐of‐the‐art NLP tools were used to develop models explaining human judgments of text comprehension and reading speed. The accuracy of these models was then compared with classic readability formulas.ResultsThe results indicated that models employing linguistic features more theoretically related to text comprehension and reading speed outperform classic readability models.ConclusionsThis study developed new readability formulas based on advanced NLP tools for both text comprehension and reading speed. These formulas, based on linguistic features that better represent theoretical and behavioural accounts of the reading process, significantly outperformed classic readability formulas.
Fostering mutual gains: Explaining the influence of high‐performance work systems and leadership on psychological health and service performance

Published: September 2019

AbstractDespite the growing importance of sustainable management of human resources, human resource management and leadership research on mutuality in the employment relationship has proceeded in a parallel fashion. Drawing on self‐determination theory, this study proposes an integrative model of human growth by addressing two interrelated questions: (a) how and why experienced service‐oriented high‐performance work systems (HPWS) and unit service leadership relate to psychological health and service performance and (b) whether thriving at work and psychological health serially mediate the relationships between the two contextual antecedents and service performance. Our findings revealed that experienced service‐oriented HPWS and unit service leadership related to service performance but indirectly through thriving at work. However, experienced service‐oriented HPWS but not unit service leadership related to psychological health through thriving at work. Furthermore, thriving at work and psychological health serially mediated the relationship between experienced service‐oriented HPWS (but not unit service leadership) and service performance.

Published: September 2019

AbstractThe aim of this study was to monitor and characterize Greek coffee staling during home storage (secondary shelf life, SSL) using sensory evaluation techniques. Storage temperature (T) and product water activity (aw) are considered as the major factors affecting SSL. Water sorption isotherms fitted to Guggenheim Anderson–de Boer model were used to predict product stability; coffee samples were stable at aw < 0.52. Coffee samples equilibrated at aw = 0.15 (the fresh sample), 0.22, 0.33, and 0.52 were stored at T = 25 °C, 35 °C, and 45 °C under simulated home storage conditions. Samples were obtained at appropriate times for each T and aw condition and sensorially evaluated. Greek coffee brews were prepared and freshly served during sensory evaluation. The use of Weibull hazard analysis provided an effective approach to SSL determination as a function of T and aw. SSL values ranged from 20 (Τ = 45 °C, aw = 0.52) to 104 days (Τ = 25 °C, aw = 0.15). Quality loss based on coffee aroma changes (aroma quality, aroma intensity, aftertaste, off‐flavor) was also studied (Si, sensory scoring using 9‐point magnitude scale) and kinetically modeled. Quality loss rates (ki) were calculated and used to predict SSL values. Based on the results of both Weibull hazard analysis and sensory scoring of individual aroma characteristics, it was concluded that the lowest SSL was calculated for aw = 0.52 at T = 35 °C to 45 °C. The temperature dependence of aftertaste, aroma quality loss, and off‐flavor production was not statistically significant for 0.15 < aw < 0.33 (P > 0.05); the aroma intensity was the most sensitive parameter.Practical ApplicationsSecondary shelf life (SSL) represents the time after pack opening during which a food maintains an acceptable quality level. During home/catering usage, coffee is not consumed immediately after pack opening. During consumption, quality degradation reactions proceed with higher rates due to variable storage conditions mainly related to atmosphere changes in the pack, leading to the entrance of oxygen/moisture and temperature. Therefore, SSL is important, and can be used as a tool for product management during consumption reducing food waste. There is a lack of studies dealing with SSL prediction of coffee, while no studies have been carried out on Greek coffee.

Published: September 2019

AbstractIn this study, an attempt was made to fortify white milled rice grains with phenolic compounds using a hydrothermal process and spearmint aqueous extracts of different % w/v concentrations. In addition, a mathematical model was acquired in order to simulate the diffusion of specific phenolic acids in rice kernels during boiling inside the extracts. Results showed that the amount of phenolic acids in rice, the potential equilibrium concentration values, as well as the diffusivity of these compounds in rice material were positively affected by the increase in % w/v bulk concentration of the aqueous extract. It was also shown that the diffusion process could be sufficiently described by a Fickian model and the estimated diffusion coefficients ranged from 6.86 × 10−12 to 3.56 × 10−11 m2/s, with the p‐coumaric acid presenting the highest average diffusivity in boiling rice material among all examined compounds. The chemical affinity of each phenolic acid to rice macromolecules was believed to play the most important role concerning their diffusivity in rice during fortification process.Practical ApplicationConsumer's interest for functional food products is constantly growing during the last decades. This study may act as preliminary for the production of fortified rice products, possessing adjusted bioactive content, in industrial scale. The proposed methodology for the production of quick‐cooking or ready‐to‐eat fortified rice may be adopted by rice industries and applied by only making slight modifications in their existing parboiling units.

Published: September 2019

AbstractIntroductionTo investigate whether the implantation of a hydrogel spacer (SpaceOAR) reduces long‐term rectal toxicity for prostate cancer patients treated with intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).MethodsPatients with localised prostate cancer treated with 81 Gy in 45 fx of IMRT over 9 weeks were retrospectively compared: 65 patients with SpaceOAR and 56 patients without SpaceOAR. Planning aims restricted rectal doses to V40 Gy < 35%, V65 Gy < 17%, V75 Gy < 10%. Toxicities were evaluated between 3 months and 3 years after the completion of radiotherapy and were based on the common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) assessment tool for diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, faecal incontinence and proctitis.ResultsThe cumulative incidence of low‐grade diarrhoea (G1) was significantly higher in the non‐SpaceOAR group (21.4% vs 6.2%; P = 0.016). The cumulative incidence of proctitis (grades G1 and G2) was also higher in the non‐SpaceOAR group (26.7% vs 9.2%; P = 0.015); the cumulative incidence of G2 proctitis was higher in the latter group (P = 0.043). There were no differences between the treatment groups for cumulative incidences of faecal incontinence and/or haemorrhoids. Three years after IMRT, diarrhoea and proctitis were higher in the non‐SpaceOAR group, without reaching statistical significance. This finding was unchanged after correcting for baseline symptoms.ConclusionSpaceOAR is of benefit in reducing the cumulative incidence of low‐grade diarrhoea and proctitis for up to 3 years after intensity‐modulated radiotherapy.
Radionuclide lung scans for suspected acute pulmonary embolism: Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or hybrid SPECT/CT?
Authors: Liu Jui , Larcos George 
Published: September 2019

AbstractIntroductionHybrid single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with CT (SPECT/CT) may improve diagnostic accuracy in suspected acute pulmonary embolism, but further research is needed. We evaluated whether the use of attenuation correction and/or the depiction of lung pathology with hybrid SPECT/CT could significantly reduce potentially false‐positive ventilation–perfusion (VQ) SPECT studies or obviate the need for a ventilation study.MethodsTwo specialists (S1 and S2) reviewed prospectively acquired VQ SPECT/CT in 165 patients. Studies were reported using standard criteria and compared to VQ SPECT and Q SPECT/CT.ResultsS1 and S2 recorded positive VQ SPECT in 54 (32.7%) and 42 (25.6%) cases, respectively. Hybrid SPECT/CT showed non‐embolic pathology in 41 (S1) and 46 (S2) patients, but compared to VQ SPECT, neither hybrid SPECT/CT nor attenuation correction SPECT/CT had significantly fewer positive studies. Intra‐observer agreement with VQ SPECT/CT was almost perfect (k = 0.91 for S1 and k = 0.95 for S2; P < 0.001), but not with Q SPECT/CT (k = 0.4 for S1 and k = 0.62 for S2; P < 0.001). Inter‐observer agreement was moderate for VQ SPECT (k = 0.65) and VQ SPECT/CT (k = 0.63).ConclusionIn our study, hybrid VQ SPECT/CT did not reduce the number of potentially false‐positive VQ SPECT, nor did the CT obviate the need for a ventilation study. Thus, the routine use of hybrid SPECT/CT for suspected pulmonary embolism is not justified.
AIIB Membership for African Countries: Drawcards and Drawbacks
Authors: Prinsloo Cyril 
Published: September 2019

AbstractThe Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank's (AIIB) establishment was inspired by the significant infrastructure investment needs that Asian countries will experience over the coming decade. African countries face an equally daunting challenge: the estimated infrastructure finance deficit is between $68 and $108 billion annually. Several African countries have already joined the AIIB (Egypt, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Sudan), some have been approved to join (Benin, Djibouti, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Rwanda and Tunisia), and select others are designated as ‘prospective founding members’ of this new bank, but are yet to join (Algeria, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Morocco and South Africa). AIIB membership offers an alluring proposition for African economies: low‐cost finance from a new source. Yet its limited support for technical capacity‐building and financial instruments for low‐income countries, outside of Asia, makes membership less desirable for many African countries. This brief essay analyses the primary motivations, and the benefits and challenges for African countries in joining the AIIB. It surmises that middle‐income African countries are more likely to benefit from AIIB membership than their low‐income peers.

Published: September 2019

AbstractPatterns of distribution and abundance of species are dependent on their particular ecological requirements. Taking specialisation into account is important for interpreting population parameters. Here, we evaluate population parameters of an endangered habitat specialist, the forty‐spotted pardalote (Pardalotus quadragintus; dependent on white gumEucalyptus viminalisin south‐eastern Tasmania), and a sympatric congeneric habitat generalist, the striated pardalote (Pardalotus striatus). We used occupancy models to estimate occupancy of both species, and distance sampling models to estimate population density and size on North Bruny Island. Within their shared habitat (i.e. white gum forest), we also fitted hierarchical distance sampling models to estimate density in relation to fine‐scale habitat features. We show that forty‐spotted pardalotes only occurred in forests where white gums were present, with a mean density of 2.7 birds per hectare. The density of forty‐spotted pardalotes decreased in areas with abundant small trees and trees with dead crowns, but they increased in areas where larger white gums were abundant. The striated pardalote was widespread, but where white gums were present, they occurred at 2.1 birds per hectare, compared to 0.6 birds per hectare in forests where white gums were absent. Within white gum habitat, the relative abundance of forty‐spotted pardalotes and dead trees had a positive effect on the density of striated pardalotes while small trees had a negative effect. Our study reveals that although widespread, the generalist is most abundant in the limited areas of habitat suitable for the specialist, and this indicates the need of future research to look at whether this pattern of occurrence exacerbates competition in resource depleted habitats.
The Orange Declaration on rural and remote mental health

Published: September 2019

AbstractRural mental health outcomes have been persistently poorer than those in larger cities suggesting that the prevailing investments to improve matters are not working. Mental health researchers and service providers from New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory met in Orange in October 2018 to explore issues pertaining to rural mental health and well‐being. The group recognised and acknowledged that rural residents experience a series of interconnected geographical, demographic, social, economic and environmental challenges which are not addressed adequately by the current mix of services. This declaration has been endorsed by those listed below and we welcome further support. We list ten interrelated problems and ten solutions. As a group, we take this declaration as an opportunity to invite discussion about how we can collectively improve the mental health of rural residents through research, service design and delivery. We invite the reader to consider endorsing this declaration. A short summary of supporting evidence is available online at https://www.crrmh.com.au/.

Published: September 2019

BackgroundWe aimed at evaluating the feasibility and effects of intense (i.e. −90°C) whole‐body cryostimulation (WBC) on somnolence and psychological well‐being in an older‐adult patient diagnosed with restless legs syndrome (RLS).MethodsAn interrupted time series approach was used in which the efficacy of cryostimulation was evaluated by measuring self‐reported fatigue, wake time sleepiness, and well‐being several times prior to, during, and after exposure to treatment (i.e. daily 3‐min sessions of intense WBC).ResultsNo adverse event occurred. Reported levels of sleepiness decreased immediately following the beginning of the treatment phase. In the same time, self‐reported well‐being significantly increased. Effects sizes were of large magnitude.ConclusionIn summary, the present study demonstrated that daily exposure to extremely cold air in an enclosed space for 2 weeks was feasible and effective in promoting physical and psychological states in an older patient with sleep disturbances.
Upskilling healthcare professionals to manage clinical allergy

Published: September 2019

AbstractIt has long been recognised that given the high prevalence and considerable impact of allergic disease globally, there needs to be a focus on appropriate training for clinical professionals. The health‐economic consequences of allergic disease are significant, with both direct healthcare costs (doctor, nurse and dietitian consultations, hospital admissions and prescribed medications) and indirect costs (lost school and work time, reduced productivity and over‐the‐counter medications). There is also a well‐recognised impairment of quality of life, with less tangible costs including anxiety, distress, discomfort, disability and, occasionally, death. To help to mitigate these effects, there is a need to upskill the professional workforce at all levels, and also to equip those trained with the skills to become future healthare professional trainers. Upskilling the workforce from the grass‐roots of undergraduate study in Medical, Nursing and Allied Health Professionals (AHP) through the entirety of training to senior consultant levels could have a major beneficial impact on the patient and their families, lead to a reduction in emergency use of clinical service, and help increase economic productivity.
