Authors: Vashisht Devika , Royne Marla B. , S. Sreejesh 
Published: February 2019

PurposeAdvergames, or integrated brand messages within digital games, have received considerable attention from researchers and practitioners. Despite increased use of advergames as a brand promotion strategy by a range of well-known brands, limited understanding exists about a number of issues related to the effective use of such games. This paper aims to critically review the literature on advergames by performing a detailed analysis of existing research in this area and propose an organizing framework. Based on this framework, the authors discuss key issues with current understanding and propose important questions for future research.Design/methodology/approachThis literature review follows Webster and Watson’s (2002) concept-driven systematic review methodology elaborating on the key antecedents and consequences identified in advergame studies (what we know: current knowledge), followed by the discussion of key factors that should be investigated as antecedents and consequences (literature gaps).FindingsThis paper presents a review and synthesis of advergame studies based on Terlutter and Capella’s (2013) integrated marketing communication framework. It identifies game, individual and social factors and suggests how these factors could affect a consumer’s brand-related cognitive, attitudinal and behavioral responses. The authors further propose an advergame framework that identifies two different “unit of analysis” (antecedents and consequences of game factors and antecedents and consequences of individual and social factors), which can be used by scholars to center their research efforts in a more detailed fashion.Research limitations/implicationsResearch questions posed in this literature review indicate that future research in the area of advergames should focus on investigating the effects of various game, individual and social factors on consumers’ cognitive, affective and behavioral responses.Practical implicationsThe advergame framework provided here provides firms with a guide to the factors that may affect their consumers’ cognitive, affective and behavioral responses and helps them in developing effective advergames.Originality/valueThe paper provides a comprehensive review of the advergame literature that has not been done before and develops a general advergame framework that can be applied in all contexts and will guide future studies in the area. Overall, the study helps the researchers to identify critical issues and concepts related to advergames and shapes future research in the field.

Authors: Şahin Faruk , Karadağ Hande , Tuncer Büşra 
Published: February 2019

Purpose
The literature considers the big five personality traits and entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) to be important individual-level factors that determine entrepreneurial intention. However, little is known about the profiles of personal characteristics of individuals who express a high level of entrepreneurial intention. The purpose of this paper is to carry out a comparative analysis of personal characteristics that contribute to new business start-up intention.

Design/methodology/approach
Using survey data from two samples, fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was performed to extract patterns of personal characteristics (i.e. the big five personality traits and ESE) that impact entrepreneurial intention.

Findings
The outcomes of the analyses demonstrate that a high level of entrepreneurial intention can be realized through multiple configurations of the big five personality traits and ESE.

Practical implications
This paper can inform practice on entrepreneurship education. Specifically, the paper includes implications for the development of ESE, and for understanding multiple configurations of personal characteristics that lead to a high level of entrepreneurial intention.

Originality/value
This paper addresses an identified need to understand how personal characteristics operate conjointly and among individuals.
How does family support work when older adults obtain information from mobile internet?
Authors: Xiong Jie , Zuo Meiyun 
Published: February 2019

PurposeMore and more older adults begin to use the mobile internet to obtain information. However, the quality of information obtained through mobile internet by older adults is hard to be guaranteed. The purpose of this paper is to study the role of family support when older adults obtain information from mobile internet.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducted a survey of 263 older adults who owned mobile internet devices such as smartphones or tablet PCs. The theory hypotheses are tested using partial least squares techniques.FindingsFor older adults, family support is the influencing factor of mobile internet literacy improvement. Family emotional support has stronger impacts on the improvement both of mobile internet skill literacy and of mobile internet information literacy than family cognitive support has. Furthermore, the improvement of both mobile internet skill literacy and of mobile internet information literacy hs positive impacts on the quality improvement of obtained information by older adults.Practical implicationsThis paper gives advice on how family members can support older adults during their obtaining information from mobile internet to improve their mobile internet literacy and quality of obtained information.Originality/valueThis study examines the factors that influence mobile internet literacy and quality of obtained information among older adults from the perspective of family support in the Chinese mobile internet context. The research results enrich the internet literacy theory and the information quality theory.

Authors: Das Chiranjit , Jharkharia Sanjay 
Published: February 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the relationships between low carbon supply chain practices and their relationships with environmental sustainability (ES) and the economic performances (EP) of firms. The study also includes an examination of the low carbon supply chain practices that are utilized by Indian manufacturing firms.Design/methodology/approachThrough a questionnaire-based survey, the data received from 83 Indian manufacturing firms was analyzed using a variance-based structural equation modeling technique to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe study indicates that carbon governance is a strategic imperative for the adoption of low carbon supply chain practices. Similarly, low carbon product and process design (LCPPD), manufacturing and logistics lead to improved ES. In addition, low carbon purchasing is positively related to the adoption of LCPPD, manufacturing and logistics. No significant relationship was found between the adoption of low carbon supply chain practices and the EP of a firm.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study may assist manufacturing managers in prioritizing operational practices for the reduction of emissions.Originality/valueThis study provides two major contributions to green supply chain management. First, it provides comprehensive empirical evidence on low carbon supply chain practices that are being followed by Indian manufacturing firms. Second, this study also empirically validated a structural model of low carbon supply chain practices.

Abstract

Long‐lived avian scavengers are threatened worldwide and thus, are common targets of conservation plans. However, scientific evidence of both the factors limiting populations and effectiveness of management actions are greatly needed in order to develop more efficient and successful conservation strategies.

We assessed the effectiveness of conservation actions applied within a LIFE‐Nature project aimed at improving the long‐term survival of the critically endangered Canarian Egyptian vulture: including education campaigns for public awareness and control of illegal poisoning and the modification of power lines to reduce the risk of accidents. We formulated a multievent capture–mark–recapture model to obtain estimates of survival for juvenile, subadult and adult birds accounting for probabilities of resight, recovery and losses of metal and colour rings.

Models supported a substantial enhancement in survival for subadult and adult birds and a moderate improvement for juveniles after the implementation of LIFE actions. Ring loss probabilities became notably high in the middle to long term.

Poisoning events became very rare after LIFE was implemented, suggesting a positive effect of environmental education and awareness campaigns. Entanglements and collisions in power lines were also efficiently mitigated. Instead, electrocutions became the most identified cause of death in the post‐LIFE stage.

Synthesis and applications. Our results highlight the improvement of survival in a threatened island vulture population after the implementation of a European LIFE conservation project. On small islands, with small human populations and few stakeholders, education and awareness campaigns can be especially effective for biodiversity conservation. We also demonstrate the need to complement conservation programmes with long‐term monitoring, which is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of actions, especially for long‐lived species.
Radicle emergence with increased temperatures following summer dispersal in Trillium camschatcense: A species with deep simple double morphophysiological dormancy in seeds
Authors: Kondo Tetsuya , Walck Jeffrey L. , Hidayati Siti N. 
Published: February 2019

AbstractSeeds with deep simple double morphophysiological dormancy (MPD) need cold stratification during the first winter after dispersal for radicle emergence, followed by the summer for root and bud development and finally a second winter for shoot emergence. In a previous study, we demonstrated that Trillium camschatcense seeds have this type of dormancy with radicles emerging from most seeds after the first winter. However, radicles also emerged from a few seeds in autumn during the same year as dispersal. We thought that temperatures after seed dispersal played a role in radicle emergence before the first winter. To confirm our idea, we investigated germination phenology outdoors, relationships between temperatures after seed dispersal and radicle emergence in the first year outdoors, radicle emergence in the first winter under varied temperatures using incubators, and shoot emergence from seeds with an emerged radicle in the first year outdoors. Our phenology study confirmed that T. camschatcense seeds have deep simple double MPD. Over 7 years, 0.2–7.5% of radicles emerged in the first year before winter and these percentages were moderately positively correlated with temperatures, especially minimum temperatures. Increasing August and September temperatures increased radicle emergence in the laboratory. Shoots emerged from seeds with an emerged radicle in the first year after the first winter. With increased autumn temperatures in warmer regions or with global warming, we predict that germination phenology may shift: increased radicle emergence in the first year and shoot emergence following the first (and not second) winter.

Published: February 2019

AbstractBackgroundCurrent research investigating collaboration between parents and speech and language therapists (SLTs) indicates that the SLT role is characterized by therapist‐led practice. Co‐working with parents of children with speech and language difficulties is less frequently described. In order to embrace co‐working during intervention, the SLT role may need to be reframed, focusing on acquiring skills in the role of coach as well as the role of planning intervention and treating children.AimsTo report (1) SLTs’ conceptions about their own roles during intervention for pre‐school children with speech and language difficulties; and (2) SLTs’ conceptions of parents’ roles during intervention.Methods & ProceduresA qualitative study used individual, semi‐structured interviews with 12 SLTs working with pre‐school children. Open‐ended questions investigated SLTs’ expectation of parents, experience of working with families, and the SLTs’ conception of their roles during assessment, intervention and decision‐making. Thematic network analysis was used to identify basic, organizational and global themes.Results & OutcomesSLTs had three conceptions about their own role during intervention: treating, planning and coaching. The roles of treating and planning were clearly formulated, but the conception of their role as coach was more implicit in their discourse. SLTs’ conception of parents’ roles focused on parents as implementers of activities and only occasionally as change agents.Conclusions & ImplicationsCollaboration that reflects co‐working may necessitate changes in the conception about the role for both SLTs and parents. SLTs and parents may need to negotiate roles, with parents assuming learner and adaptor roles and SLTs adopting a coaching role to activate greater involvement of parents. Applying conceptual change theory offers new possibilities for understanding and enabling changes in SLTs’ conception of roles, potentially initiating a deeper understanding of how to achieve co‐working during speech and language intervention.
Computed tomography colonography: Retrospective comparison of laxative plus barium tagging versus iodinated contrast only for bowel preparation and faecal tagging
Authors: Perry Elisa , Moore Helen , Reeve Jane 
Published: February 2019

AbstractIntroductionThere is no consensus as to the most optimal bowel preparation regime for Computed Tomographic Colonography (CTC). Concerns regarding laxative bowel preparation (LBP) include tolerability, adverse effects and complexity of regimen. Two hospitals in Auckland changed CTC bowel preparation from standard LBP to Gastrografin (GG) in 2015. The aim of this study is to retrospectively assess objective and subjective quality measures of these different bowel preparations.MethodsTwo study groups were selected retrospectively from patients who underwent CTC at two hospitals in September‐October 2013 (LBP) and September‐ October 2015 (GG). Each study group comprised 60 patients (30 consecutive patients from each hospital). Patients were randomized and anonymized to reduce bias in analysis. Study patients were assessed independently by three experienced Radiologists using a simple grading system derived from the literature.ResultsThere was significantly less faecal residue (P = 0.006) and better faecal tagging (P = 0.001) in the right colon in the GG group. There was significantly higher fluid residue in the GG group than the LBP group (P = 0.0001), particularly in the right colon, with better fluid tagging in the GG group(P ≤ 0.0001). Higher Hounsfield Units of residual fluid were observed in the GG group (P ≤ 0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference in the subjective quality scores (P = 0.219), between the two preparations.ConclusionsThis study has demonstrated better faecal cleansing and faecal tagging in the GG group. Higher fluid residue in the GG group was offset by better fluid tagging.
Modelling momentum winner/loser asymmetry: the sources of winner and loser returns in the ASX200 and S&P500
Authors: Inglis Nick , Vanstone Bruce , Hahn Tobias 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThere is an established body of work showing that the sources of momentum returns change over time. This paper finds that there is also winner/loser asymmetry – that the sources of the winner and loser components of momentum returns differ from each other at the same point in time. Together, these results raise concerns about the prospect of finding a single cause for momentum profits, as most efforts to date have tried to do. Rather, they indicate that investigation should proceed using time‐varying, nonparametric and ensemble techniques.
Development of the Australian Ageing Semantic Differential, a new instrument for measuring Australian medical student attitudes towards older people
Authors: Wilson Mark A. G. , Tran Yvonne , Wilson Ian , Kurrle Susan 
Published: February 2019

ObjectiveThis study outlines development of an instrument for measuring attitudes of medical students towards older people, the Australian Ageing Semantic Differential (AASD).MethodsWords for AASD scales were derived from the reflections of 151 third year medical students attending two Australian medical schools. A pilot study of the AASD was then undertaken with third year students at another medical school to confirm usability and reliability of the instrument. After slight modification, a larger study using the AASD was then undertaken of medical students attending the three institutions, in order to obtain sufficient data for exploratory factor analysis.Resultsn = 321 (response rate 73%). Mean AASD score 73.2/114. Cronbach's α = 0.86. There was no evidence of sequence bias. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) demonstrated four factors: Instrumentality; Personal Appeal; Experience; and Sociability. A lower mean instrumentality subscore for all students and a higher mean experience subscore for female students were noted.ConclusionsThe AASD instrument proved internally reliable, and its use was generalisable to different groups of medical students. Its design ensured construct and face validity, and responses were not affected by sequencing bias. This study has revealed positive student attitudes towards older people. Variation in attitudes requires further investigation.

SummaryIntroductionDl‐3‐N‐butylphthalide (NBP), a small molecule drug used clinically in the acute phase of ischemic stroke, has been shown to improve functional recovery and promote angiogenesis and collateral vessel circulation after experimental cerebral ischemia. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is unknown.AimsTo explore the potential molecular mechanism of angiogenesis induced by NBP after cerebral ischemia.ResultsNBP treatment attenuated body weight loss, reduced brain infarct volume, and improved neurobehavioral outcomes during focal ischemia compared to the control rats (P < 0.05). NBP increased the number of CD31+ microvessels, the number of CD31+/BrdU+ proliferating endothelial cells, and the functional vascular density (P < 0.05). Further study demonstrated that NBP also promoted the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin‐1 (P < 0.05), which was accompanied by upregulated sonic hedgehog expression in astrocytes in vivo and in vitro.ConclusionNBP treatment promoted the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin‐1, induced angiogenesis, and improved neurobehavioral recovery. These effects were associated with increased sonic hedgehog expression after NBP treatment. Our results broadened the clinical application of NBP to include the later phase of ischemia.

Interactions between model parameters and low spatiotemporal resolution of available data mean that conventional soil organic carbon (SOC) models are often affected by equifinality, with consequent uncertainty in SOC forecasts. Estimation of belowground C inputs is another major source of uncertainty in SOC modelling. Models are usually calibrated on SOC stocks and fluxes from long‐term experiments (LTEs), whereas other point data are not used for constraining the model parameters. We used data from an agricultural long‐term (>65 years) fertilization experiment to test a multi‐objective parameter estimation approach on the RothC model, combining SOC data from different fertilization treatments with microbial biomass, basal respiration and Zimmermann's fractions data. We also compared two methods to estimate the belowground C inputs: a conventional scaling of belowground biomass from crop harvest yield and an alternative approach based on constant belowground C for cereals measured experimentally in the field. The resulting posterior parameter distributions still suffered from some equifinality; the most stable C pool kinetic constants and composition of exogenous organic matter were the most sensitive parameters. The use of fixed belowground C inputs for cereals improved the model performance, reducing the importance of treatment‐specific parameters and processes. The introduction of microbial biomass and basal respiration data was effective for increasing determination of the calibration, but also suggested a change in the model structure: the microbial biomass pool, which is proportional to the C inputs in the traditional models, could be represented by different microbial physiology functions.Highlights
Multi‐objective calibration with SOC and microbial or soil fractionation data can reduce model uncertainty.
We compared different methods to estimate belowground C inputs on a long‐term trial in Switzerland.
Fixed belowground C inputs measured in the field gave the best model performance.
Microbial data can improve model calibration, but a change in model structure is suggested.
Effective care for Māori with bipolar disorder: A qualitative study
Authors: Staps Cassandra , Crowe Marie , Lacey Cameron 
Published: February 2019

AbstractMāori have high rates of bipolar disorder (BD) and mental health service use. Despite the high prevalence and the impact on functioning and whānau (family), there is limited research on treatment interventions for Māori with bipolar disorder and indeed on Māori and indigenous mental health generally. A qualitative study combining individual interviews and focus groups was conducted with the aim to explore mental health clinicians’ and Māori mental health workers’ perspectives of effective treatment for Māori with BD. Sixteen participants took part in either individual interviews, focus groups or both. The study found the importance of a Māori worldview; tikanga Māori (rituals); understanding the whānau context, whakawhanaugatanga (connection), the powhiri (introduction) process, and whakarongo (listening) were key to working effectively with Māori who had BD. Both the interviews and focus groups identified similar concepts. The concept of whakawhanaungatanga (connection) captures the themes from the individual interviews and focus groups. The participants in this study identified the person and their culture rather than the psychiatric diagnosis as crucial to providing effective care to Māori with BD. Without a foundation in whakawhanaungatanga, engagement, diagnosis, treatment adherence, and the process of recovery are unlikely to be as effective for Māori with BD. It was evident from the findings that it was the person not the diagnosis that was central to therapeutic engagement.
