Impact of determinants on early internationalization
Authors: Santhosh Channappa 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of determinants on early internationalization in the context of an emerging economy, i.e. India.

Design/methodology/approach
The study is based on an ex post facto exploratory research using primary data collected from a sample of 102 exporting small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Bangalore.

Findings
The overall results reveal that it is the proactive entrepreneurs and their previous experience that determine the early internationalization of SMEs. Further, competitive constraint was a major obstacle to enter the international market at an early age for late internationalized SMEs.

Practical implications
The policy initiatives should aim to develop the international orientation of the entrepreneurs in the firm as a precursor for the formulation and subsequent implementation of internationalization strategies.

Originality/value
Although studies have been conducted on determinants and early internationalization, these are confined to a few dimensions, and none of the studies have looked into the issues affecting the early internationalization holistically and with respect to SMEs in India.
A conceptual framework for utilising BIM digital objects (BDO) in manufacturing design and production
Authors: Al-Saeed Yayha , Parn Erika , Edwards David John , Scaysbrook Stephen 
Published: June 2019

PurposeConstruction manufacturers predominantly rely upon antiquated manual design and production processes and procedures because they lack technical skills needed to automate working practices. This paper aims to automate manufacturing processes by optimising the utilisation of BIM digital objects (BDO) via the development of a conceptual model. Concomitant objectives seek to reduce design errors; eliminate unnecessary costs; automate the generation of quantity bills; and maximise productivity performance.Design/methodology/approachAn inductive approach was adopted through a post positivist epistemological lens set within the context of a case study of a small- and medium-sized enterprise. From an operational perspective, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analysed via a novel four-phase waterfall design, namely, literature diagnosis; recording contemporary practice; mapping manufacturing workflow and procedures; and evaluation and proof of concept development.FindingsThe work illustrates that BDO enhances manufacturing workflow, reduces product manufacturing lead time and augments quality assurance throughout the whole life cycle of a manufactured product. The conceptual model developed provides a pragmatic and comprehensive solution to automate construction manufacturing procedures and to improve the facilitation of information exchanged between all stakeholders involved.Originality/valueThis study presents the first comprehensive case study of BDO application within a manufacturing context. Future research is however, needed to test and validate the conceptual model presented in practice. In doing so, the model can be further refined using practitioner input and real-life manufacturing processes and procedures.
Assessment of key airline selection indicators in a strategic decision model
Authors: Kucukaltan Berk , Topcu Y. Ilker 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
Fierce competition in the airline industry compels airline companies to offer various services. Yet, while companies strive to become preferable, customers confront numerous airline selection indicators, and as such causes vagueness in human thinking that needs to be systematically and normatively resolved. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is initially to establish a strategic decision model that incorporates key selection indicators, among hundreds of criteria, through a systematic approach. Subsequently, it also aims to investigate the relative importance of these indicators for passengers.

Design/methodology/approach
This research first utilises a comprehensive literature review to uncover key indicators used in airline selection. Afterwards, the outcome obtained from the first phase initiated the phase of determining the prioritisation of these key selection indicators, through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, based on passengers’ judgments.

Findings
The outcome of structuring a strategic decision model reveals 32 key selection indicators to be mainly considered by passengers and these indicators are grouped under five dimensions in this paper. Then, the prioritisation results given by the AHP indicate that “price-related factors” and “customer satisfaction-related factors”, respectively, are more important dimensions for passengers while selecting the best airline company.

Originality/value
The proposed approach provides a novel way to identify and prioritise key airline selection indicators for different passengers, through using the AHP, as a response to the need of adopting a systematic and comprehensive manner with the inclusion of general industry norms. Within this scope, the established model and the prioritisation results can be used as a reference by both airline passengers during their decision-making processes and airline companies which aim for becoming more competitive.
Literacy experiment of Islamic financing to non-Muslim small and micro business
Authors: Suci Afred , Hardi Hardi 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the changes in Islamic financing literacy and draw a comparison between the intentions of Muslim and non-Muslim micro and small entrepreneurs after receiving counseling. It also observes the role of religion in the relationship between literacy and the intention to use Islamic financing.

Design/methodology/approach
The participants were of 60 owners of micro and small entrepreneurs who were made up of 30 Muslims and 30 non-Muslims. An Islamic financing counseling was conducted on 30 non-Muslims, and data were obtained relating to literacy and intention after the counseling. The data were analyzed using statistical descriptive, associative and comparative test.

Findings
There is a significant increase in literacy and intentions of non-Muslim entrepreneurs after receiving the counseling. It is also discovered that religious factor no longer influences literacy and intention of using Islamic financing after receiving the counseling.

Research limitations/implications
Counseling is an effective way to establish non-Muslims’ literacy and lead their intention toward the use of Islamic financing products.

Practical implications
There is a need to give proper knowledge about the importance of Islamic financing to non-Muslims by emphasizing the monetary values and benefits to diversify the market segment.

Social implications
The finding proves that Islam, in every aspect including the economy, is a blessing to the entire universe or as Muslim says, ‘rahmatan lil “alamin”.

Originality/value
Previous studies about Islamic financing have been mostly conducted by using survey among the Muslim population. Therefore, this study combines both survey and experiment by providing Islamic literacy counseling to non-Muslims.
Realising financial inclusion in Islamic finance
Authors: Shinkafi Akilu Aliyu , Yahaya Sani , Sani Tijjani Alhaji 
Published: June 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evolve a theoretical account that highlights the determinations for achieving financial inclusion in Islamic finance.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology used is a library approach where the existing and relevant document remains the sources of concern.FindingsThe outcome of the study designates that robust technology; microcredit and microfinance services; legal and regulatory commitment of the regulators and policymakers of the Islamic financial institutions; extensive public awareness of Islamic financial services and products; financial proficiency and literacy; and financial infrastructure are some of the imperative drives for realising financial inclusion particularly for women, low income earners and rural poor.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper limited itself to realising financial inclusion in Islamic finance. Thus, anything beyond the stated limitation is outside the scope of our objective. The paper has an inference for the concerned professional bodies, regulators, policymakers, stakeholders and practitioners of Islamic financial institutions.Originality/valueThe paper is original in its nature, it is also a pearl and a reference to those who may conceive and cherish the relevance of its capacity.
Organisational culture affecting post-merger integration
Authors: Yang Yanan , Lütge Christoph , Yang Hongwei 
Published: June 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to determine the principal organisational cultural dimensions that affect levels of post-merger integration (PMI) in Chinese acquisitions in Germany and to explore the relationship of these specific organisational cultural dimensions and levels of integration.Design/methodology/approachData set were collected using a structured questionnaire given to Chinese and German managers and employees, who implemented/were responsible for the PMI in 12 Chinese acquisitions in Germany. A total of 120 questionnaires were distributed and there were 67 respondents, corresponding to a response rate of about 56 per cent. Principal components analysis, one-way ANOVA and bi-variate Spearman’s correlation were applied to analyse the data.FindingsFindings revealed that five organisational cultural dimensions (i.e. adaptability, consistency, involvement, balance and flexibility) were extracted to be the primary indicators affecting levels of integration in Chinese reverse mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in the German market. Further, adaptability emerged as the only predictor with a significant negative implication on predicting the degree of PMI that Chinese investors would initiate to integrate their acquired German subsidiaries.Originality/valueThis study is one of the few studies to consider the specific organisational cultural dimensions affecting the integration levels of reverse M&As and is the first study, to the best of our knowledge, to explore the correlations of specific corporate cultural dimensions and integration levels in emerging multinational enterprises’ reverse M&As through quantitative research.
Essential domains of phosphatidylinositol‐4 kinase III β required for enterovirus replication
Authors: Arita Minetaro 
Published: June 2019

AbstractPhosphatidylinositol‐4 kinase III β (PI4KB) is a host factor that is required for enterovirus (EV) replication. In this study, the importance of host proteins that interact with PI4KB in EV replication was analyzed by trans complementation with PI4KB mutants in a PI4KB‐knockout cell line. Ectopically expressed PI4KB mutants, which lack binding regions for ACBD3, RAB11, and 14‐3‐3 proteins, rescued replication of poliovirus and enterovirus 71. These findings suggest that interaction of PI4KB with these host proteins is not essential for EV replication once PI4KB has been expressed and that PI4KB is functionally independent from these host proteins regarding EV replication.
Errors have been made, others will be blamed: Issue engagement and blame shifting in prime minister speeches during the economic crisis in Europe
Authors: TRABER DENISE , SCHOONVELDE MARTIJN , SCHUMACHER GIJS 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThis article investigates prime ministers’ communication strategies during the most recent economic crisis in Europe. It argues that when electoral risk is high but governments’ policy options are severely limited, prime ministers will use specific communication strategies to mitigate electoral risks. Two such communication strategies are analysed – issue engagement and blame shifting – by applying state‐of‐the‐art quantitative text analysis methods on 5,553 speeches of prime ministers in nine European Union member states. Evidence is found for both strategies. Prime ministers talk about the economy more in response to both high (domestic) unemployment and low (domestic) gross domestic product growth. Furthermore, it is found that the (domestic) unemployment rate is the most consistent predictor of blame shifting: as the domestic unemployment rate goes up, this is followed by an increase in blame shifting towards banks, Greece and the Troika of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Frequency distribution of modified Cormack‐Lehane views—A retrospective audit of tracheal intubation in children with normal airways

Published: June 2019

BackgroundPaediatric patients with an unanticipated poor grade of laryngoscopic view during tracheal intubation represent a challenging situation potentially associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of modified Cormack‐Lehane (MCL) views and to elucidate variables for poor views in a large collective of children without anticipated airway difficulties.MethodsThe departmental anaesthesia patient database was searched for patients who had undergone general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation between January 2007 and March 2017. Inclusion criteria were age from birth to 17.99 years, general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation using direct laryngoscopy, no history, symptoms or signs of a difficult airway and the best obtained MCL view documented in the database. Patient‐ and anaesthesia‐related variables associated with a poor view (MCL IIb, III and IV) were elucidated using a logistic regression model.ResultsIn all, 22 965 patients were included; of these, 17 593 were observed only once.The prevalence of the first observed MCL views I, IIa, IIb, III and IV was 90.6%, 8.5%, 0.86%, 0.05% and 0%, respectively. The logistic regression model indicates that age and gender are the most important variables associated with MCL views IIb and III in the model. The probability for MCL views IIb/III decreases across the first 5‐7 years before increasing again.ConclusionsThe incidence of a poor grade of laryngoscopic view was found to be very low in children with a normal airway. They mainly occurred in infants and adolescent patients and were more common in male patients.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate functional limitations and life satisfaction among Asian‐born migrants and Australian‐born participants in the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) study.MethodsInformation on 10 167 Australian‐born participants and 650 Asian‐born migrants from Waves 6 to 16 (2006‐2016) of HILDA was analysed using multivariate linear regressions, adjusting for baseline covariates.ResultsMiddle‐aged and older Asian‐born migrants had a lower decline in functional limitations compared to the Australian‐born participants (−1.74 vs −4.47 during the 5‐year period and −5.66 vs −8.50 during the 10‐year period). Decline in life satisfaction scores was relatively stable among older Australian‐born participants, but there was a steeper decline among Asian‐born migrants in the 5‐year period. Notably, relative change was not statistically significant for both outcomes.ConclusionThis study reveals that middle‐aged and older Asian‐born migrants had less decline in physical health but not in life satisfaction. Monitoring health and well‐being of migrants as they age could help to minimise health disparities in Australia.

SummaryEmergency front‐of‐neck access to achieve a percutaneous airway can be a life‐saving intervention, but there is debate about the preferred technique. This prospective, observational study was designed to compare the two most common emergency surgical airway techniques in a wet lab simulation using an ovine model. Forty‐three doctors participated. After providing standardised reading, a lecture and dry lab benchtop training, participants progressed to a high‐fidelity wet lab simulation. Participants entered an operating theatre where a ‘cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate’ situation had been declared and were directed to perform emergency front‐of‐neck access: first with a cannula technique (14‐gauge cannula insertion with ventilation using a Rapid‐O2® cricothyroidotomy insufflation device); and subsequently, a scalpel‐bougie technique (surgical incision, bougie insertion into trachea and then tracheal tube passed over bougie, with ventilation using a self‐inflating bag). The primary end‐point was time from declaration of ‘cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate’ to delivery of oxygen via a correctly placed percutaneous device. If a cannula or tracheal tube was not placed within 240 s, the attempt was marked as a failure. There was one failure for the cannula approach and 15 for the scalpel‐bougie technique (OR 0.07 (95%CI 0.00–0.43); p <0.001). Median (IQR [range]) time to oxygenation, if successful, was 65 (57–78 [28–160]) s for the cannula approach and 90 (74–115 [40–265]) s for the scalpel‐bougie technique (p=0.005). In this ovine model, emergency front‐of‐neck access using a cannula had a lower chance of failure and (when successful) shorter time to first oxygen delivery compared with a scalpel‐bougie technique.

Published: June 2019

There is concern in the UK about nonmedical use (NMU) of alprazolam (Xanax). We investigated the epidemiology of alprazolam NMU compared with diazepam using data from the Survey of Non‐Medical Use of Prescription Drugs (NMURx) programme (collected 28 September–1 December 2017). The survey included 10 019 respondents and was weighted by age, sex and region to represent 52 927 659 UK adults. The estimated national prevalence of lifetime NMU of alprazolam was 0.32% (95% confidence interval: 0.19–0.46), and 1.30% (1.06–1.54) for diazepam. The prevalence of NMU in the last 90 days was significantly different when split by age category for alprazolam (P < .001), but not for diazepam (P = .262) with alprazolam NMU being more common among younger adults (age 16–24 years: 0.37%; age 25–34 years: 0.14%; 35 years or older: 0.01%). Further research is needed to fully understand the motivations of alprazolam NMU and to monitor whether the popularity of alprazolam will rise.

ObjectivesTo evaluate, using a rat model of non‐bacterial prostatic inflammation, the prostaglandin production and expression profiles of E‐series prostaglandin (EP) receptor subtypes, which are reportedly implicated in the development of overactive bladder, in the bladder mucosa, and to investigate the effect of EP receptor type 4 (EP4) blockade on bladder overactivity after prostatic inflammation.MethodsMale Sprague‐Dawley rats were used. Prostatic inflammation was induced by formalin injection (5%; 50 μL per lobe) into the bilateral ventral lobes of the prostate. At 10 days after induction of prostatic inflammation or vehicle injection, bladder tissues from the deeply anaesthetized rats were harvested and separated into mucosal and detrusor layers. Then, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations and protein levels of PGE2 receptors (EP1–4) in the bladder mucosa and detrusor were measured by ELISA and Western blotting, respectively. In separate groups of control and formalin‐treated rats, awake cystometry was performed to evaluate the changes in bladder activity after prostatic inflammation. In addition, the effect of intravesical administration of a selective EP4 antagonist (ONO‐AE3‐208; 30 μm) on bladder activity was evaluated in control rats and rats with prostatic inflammation.ResultsPGE2 concentration and protein levels of EP4, but not other EP receptor subtypes, in the bladder mucosa and detrusor layers were significantly increased in formalin‐injected rats vs vehicle‐injected control rats. In cystometry, rats with prostatic inflammation exhibited a significant decrease in intercontraction intervals (ICIs) compared with control rats. Intravesical application of ONO‐AE3‐208 (30 μm), but not vehicle application, significantly increased ICIs in rats with prostatic inflammation, whereas ONO‐AE3‐208 at this concentration did not significantly affect any cystometric values in control rats.ConclusionsBecause intravesical administration of an EP4 antagonist effectively improved bladder overactivity after prostatic inflammation, EP4 activation, along with increased PGE2 production in the bladder mucosa, seems to be an important contributing factor to bladder overactivity induced by prostatic inflammation. Thus, blockade of EP4 in the bladder could be a therapeutic approach to male lower urinary tract symptoms attributable to benign prostatic hyperplasia with prostatic inflammation.
Fearing Failure: Grandiose Narcissism, Vulnerable Narcissism, and Emotional Reactivity in Children

Published: June 2019

The distinction between grandiose and vulnerable narcissism is new to the child literature, but initial findings suggest that it may have important implications for understanding adjustment. This study examined how expressions of narcissism in children influence their reactions to a mild egothreats experience. Children (N = 124; aged 8–12 years) completed self‐ratings before and after doing a brief but challenging task. Negative emotions, self‐conscious emotions, and performance estimates were measured. Regression analyses showed that, even after controlling the effects of self‐esteem and temperament, vulnerable narcissism was related to increased hostility, anger, and shame, whereas grandiose narcissism was related to inflated performance estimates following the task. These results demonstrate the unique roles of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism in children.
