Do the millennials in the USA care about the fast food industry’s involvement in corporate social responsibility?
Authors: Harun Ahasan , Prybutok Gayle , Prybutok Victor 
Published: October 2018

PurposeThis purpose of this paper is to develop and examine a theoretical framework for evaluating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in influencing millennial fast food consumers’ purchasing behavior. It also aims to help business strategists to leverage marketing strategies to achieve a competitive gain.Design/methodology/approachTo examine the proposed framework through the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the authors collected data through survey. They also evaluated the proposed framework through the multi-group analysis and the importance-performance map analysis (IPMA).FindingsFindings suggest that CSR alone is unable to influence millennial fast food consumers’ purchase intention. Therefore, fast food business strategists should communicate CSR activities by simultaneously focusing on affective identification and satisfaction to achieve the objective. IPMA analysis shows that, among all the CSR indicators, fast food restaurants’ responsible behavior and their concern with respect to the environment create the most impact on millennial fast food consumers’ mindset.Practical implicationsFor fast food business strategists, the findings of this research provide a strategic blueprint in terms of using CSR as a way to foster relationships with the millennial fast food consumers, thus creating a competitive advantage in the market.Originality/valueAnchoring in the theoretical framework, this research contributes to the extant literature by providing a critical evaluation of how to influence millennial fast food consumers’ purchase intention from a more systematic perspective. This research also offers fast food marketing managers a strategy by leveraging their initiatives for a particular customer segment through the IPMA at both the construct and indicator levels.

Authors: Dias Carlos Alberto , Sato Hédison Kiuity , Machado Marcos Vitor Barbosa , de Lima Olivar Antonio Lima 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACTA geophysical electromagnetic method to inductively measure the ground electrical resistivity and induced polarization has recently been tested. Its basic characteristics involve three major differences from other methods: the two electrical ground parameters are obtained through measuring magnetic field. For this purpose, a transmitter–receiver (T, R) electromagnetic system is used that operates in the frequency domain and consists of a horizontal loop as the transmitter for the perpendicular loops configuration on the ground surface; the measured function is the (T, R) inductive coupling main variation produced due to the presence of the earth, that is the magnetic field radial component; the measurements are conducted at a large number of frequencies (139 in the more advanced prototype), and the measured function is explored in the frequency interval 0.2 Hz to 1 kHz, a much broader frequency range of the induced polarization effect spectrum, than the one conventionally used in field exploration. Three major aspects are emphasized: (1) the existence of a small ‘main zone’ interior to a half‐space, which is responsible for most of the magnetic energy that the receiver measures on the half‐space surface. This permits to substitute the entire half‐space by the ‘main zone’ and, in a second step, to substitute the ‘main zone’ by an equivalent homogeneous half‐space with the electrical characteristics of such ‘main zone’; (2) the existence of a closed solution for the fields that the (T, R) system generates on the surface of a homogeneous isotropic half‐space, which provides exact functions with the two electrical parameters of interest as the variables (the apparent resistivity and relative polarization parameter); (3) the values of the electrical parameters so determined can be attributed to the central point of the ‘main zone’. Three‐horizontal layers half‐space and a conductive sphere in the free‐space are discussed as models. Four field surveys are analysed as examples and show a satisfactory performance of the method for detection of on‐shore hydrocarbon reservoirs, description of induced reservoir variations and structural features mapping at depths up to 2.5 km.

Abstract

Integrating environmental concerns into sectoral policies is a priority for sustainable development. Despite environmental policy integration being established in Europe in 1998, major weaknesses still limit its effectiveness, such as poor coordination at national and subnational levels.

We use the integration of scavenger conservation into sanitary European regulations to illustrate how the adoption of different criteria when implementing the same legislation affects the effectiveness of the environmental policy integration process. We focus on the implementation across Spanish autonomous regions of Regulation EU 142/2011 allowing dead livestock to be left in situ for feeding scavengers. Using Asturias (NW Spain) as a case study, we provide spatially explicit estimates of two key factors guiding the implementation of the legislation, the estimates of scavenger feeding requirements, and the area designated as scavenger feeding zones, based on different criteria used across Spanish regions.

We detected a remarkable variation in both scavenger feeding requirements (up to 452%; ranging from 108 to 596 t/year) and scavenger feeding zones (up to 72% in size) depending on the implementation criteria used.

The concentration of scavenger feeding requirements per km2 within scavenger feeding zones (i.e., carrion demand) varied up to 167%. Similarly, the concentration of carrion supply from livestock within scavenger feeding zones (i.e., carrion availability) changed up to 33%.

Policy implications. Our results support the need for systematic evaluations to choose the best criteria for implementing sanitary regulations concerning scavenger conservation. Interregional coordination in implementing the agreed criteria emerges as a relevant issue to improve the effectiveness of environmental policy integration for transboundary conservation of European scavengers.

Focusing on national broadcaster Telefís Éireann (RTÉ), it uses archival programme footage and broadcast listings to examine television's relationship with film and cinema. This material, which includes excerpts from arts and culture programmes and interviews with actors, suggests an intersection between film, cinema and television in nineteen-sixties Ireland.
Boundary clauses and the use of the vernacular in eastern Frankish charters, c.750–c.900*
Authors: Roberts Edward 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Of the thousands of surviving charters from eastern Carolingian Francia, remarkably few contain boundary clauses, even though ceremonial perambulations were a prominent aspect of property transactions. This article examines these boundary clauses asking when and why perambulations were written down in charters, and why, in an overwhelmingly Latin charter tradition, this was often done with vernacular language. The analysis suggests that boundary clauses were intended as rhetorical statements of elite identification and authority, usually signalling the involvement of powerful patrons and significant properties. The article contributes to debates concerning ritual, rhetoric and the interaction between orality and literacy in medieval charters.
The Effects of Medicare Advantage Contract Concentration on Patients’ Nursing Home Outcomes
Authors: Rahman Momotazur , Meyers David J. , Mor Vincent 
Published: October 2018

ObjectiveThe Medicare Modernization Act of 2004 allowed Medicare Advantage (MA) contracts to form provider networks in order to concentrate their patients among preferred providers. We focus on the skilled nursing facility (SNF) industry to assess patients’ health when treating SNFs concentrate more patients from the same MA contract.Data Sources/Study SettingWe use Medicare Beneficiary Summary File and Health, HEDIS, and the Minimum Data Set for patient attributes and OSCAR, LTCfocus.org, and Nursing Home Compare for SNF attributes. We include 1,069,436 MA enrollees newly admitted to SNF between 2012 and 2014.Study DesignUsing a MA contract fixed‐effect model, we examine the effect of prevalence of a patient's MA contract in the treating SNF on patient's health outcomes including 180‐day survival, 30‐day hospital readmission, 30‐day home discharge, and nursing home length of stay. We use an Instrumental Variable (IV), the expected share of admissions in a SNF from patient's MA contract calculated using a McFadden choice model.Principal FindingsWe find no relationship between SNF contract concentration and patients’ outcomes after applying the IV.ConclusionsWhile MA plans appear to steer patients to specific SNFs, we do not observe significant returns to patient outcomes related to concentration.
Cue‐Taking in Congress: Interest Group Signals from Dear Colleague Letters
Authors: Box‐Steffensmeier Janet M. , Christenson Dino P. , Craig Alison W. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractWhy do some pieces of legislation move forward while others languish? We address this fundamental question by examining the role of interest groups in Congress, specifically the effect of their legislative endorsements in Dear Colleague letters. These letters provide insights into the information that members use to both influence and make policy decisions. We demonstrate that endorsements from particularly well‐connected interest groups are a strong cue for members with limited information early in the legislative process and help grow the list of bill cosponsors. As bills progress, such groups have less direct weight, while legislation supported by a larger number of organizations and a larger number of cosponsors is more likely to pass. Thus, we illuminate the usage of Dear Colleague letters in Congress, demonstrate how members use interest groups in the legislative process, and shed new light on the varying impact of groups on public policy.
Identifying signals of potentially harmful medications in pregnancy: use of the double false discovery rate method to adjust for multiple testing
Authors: Cavadino Alana , Prieto‐Merino David , Morris Joan K. 
Published: October 2018

AimsSurveillance of medication use in pregnancy is essential to identify associations between first trimester medications and congenital anomalies (CAs). Medications in the same Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classes may have similar effects. We aimed to use this information to improve the detection of potential teratogens in CA surveillance data.MethodsData on 15 058 malformed fetuses with first trimester medication exposures from 1995–2011 were available from EUROmediCAT, a network of European CA registries. For each medication‐CA combination, the proportion of the CA in fetuses with the medication was compared to the proportion of the CA in all other fetuses in the dataset. The Australian classification system was used to identify high‐risk medications in order to compare two methods of controlling the false discovery rate (FDR): a single FDR applied across all combinations, and a double FDR incorporating groupings of medications.ResultsThere were 28 765 potential combinations (523 medications × 55 CAs) for analysis. An FDR cut‐off of 50% resulted in a reasonable effective workload, for which single FDR gave rise to eight medication signals (three high‐risk medications) and double FDR 50% identified 16 signals (six high‐risk). Over a range of FDR cut‐offs, double FDR identified more high‐risk medications as signals, for comparable effective workloads.ConclusionsThe double FDR method appears to improve the detection of potential teratogens in comparison to the single FDR, while maintaining a low risk of false positives. Use of double FDR is recommended in routine signal detection analyses of CA data.
The appearance standard: Criteria and remedies for when a mere appearance of unethical behavior is morally unacceptable
Authors: Kaptein Muel 
Published: October 2018

AbstractWhile there are companies whose codes of ethics state that mere appearance of unethical behavior by employees is morally unacceptable, this so‐called appearance standard has hardly received any attention in the business ethics literature. Using corporate integrity theory, this article explores the criteria that may explain how mere appearances of unethical behavior can arise (i.e., the presence of conflicts of interests, the entanglement of these interests, a reputation for lack of integrity, and deviant outcomes) and those that may make such appearances morally unacceptable (i.e., foreseeability, avoidability, and seriousness). The article proposes remedies for preventing and resolving instances when mere appearance of unethical behavior is morally unacceptable.
The Experiences of and Responses to Linguicism of Quebec English‐Speaking and Franco‐Ontarian Postsecondary Students
Authors: Jean‐Pierre Johanne 
Published: October 2018

AbstractThis article explores the experiences of linguicism of Quebec English‐speaking and Franco‐Ontarian postsecondary students and how they respond to these experiences. Using Goffman's theory of stigma and a qualitative approach, this article presents findings that emerged from interviews conducted between January and June 2014 in Quebec and Ontario. Both Quebec English‐speaking and Franco‐Ontarian participants report experiences of linguicism, which are fueled by certain stigma theories. Participants in both groups use similar strategies to avoid conflict, but diverge in their attitudes. The findings point to the significance of provincial contexts and the need for further studies about linguicism among official language minorities.
Sureties as Civilian Jailers: Understanding the Role of the Court in the Lives of Accused Released on Surety Bail in Ontario
Authors: Schumann Rachel 
Published: October 2018

AbstractChanges to Ontario's bail system (2017) are intended to keep accused out of custody and in the community as they await trial. For the Ministry of the Attorney General, living in the community while on bail is a vast improvement to remand because there is minimal state involvement in the lives of accused, resulting in fewer personal and administrative disruptions. Yet, most accused in the province require a surety to be released. Justices of the peace, Crowns, and even defense counsel expect sureties to act like civilian jailers, which questions the level of state intervention at this stage in the legal process. Previous scholarship on bail attributes the overuse of surety releases to a culture of risk aversion whereby the courts offload responsibility and blame for the accused's actions onto the surety. By exploring how court officials describe and determine who an appropriate surety is and the types of powers afforded to them, this paper argues that although sureties are legally obligated to supervise the accused, the court is still heavily involved in defining what this role looks like and how it should unfold outside the courtroom. The qualitative findings provide important insight into how criminally suspect individuals are governed in the province more generally.
Gender, Artifacts, and Ritual Encounters: The Case ofTomboy ToolsSales Parties
Authors: Collins‐Nelsen Rebecca , Puddephatt Antony J. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractTomboy Toolsis a company that markets tools and home‐repair techniques to women, using a home party sales model. This provides an interesting case to consider how traditional gendered domains can be transcended, and how they are reshaped to allow this to happen. Drawing on participant observation and interviews with consumers, salespeople, and executives ofTomboy Tools, this paper draws on Collins’ (2004) theory of interaction ritual chains to explore the microstructures and ritual dynamics of these home parties. Our analysis reveals how both new and more traditional feminine practices and scripts are idealized and reinforced within the collective effervescence that is generated through the shared ritual experience. We examine how women critically interpret the tensions and contradictions that arise in the symbolic representations that seem to support both female empowerment and traditional feminine stereotypes. This leads to varying meanings among the women with respect to the artifacts and sales rituals presented, for their implications on gender identity and politics.
From Interest to Obligation: The Gradual Development of Human Altruism
Authors: Dahl Audun , Paulus Markus 
Published: October 2018

AbstractAltruism is a central feature of human morality. Recent research sheds light on the development of altruism in early childhood. In this article, we propose a theoretical framework that systematizes research on how altruism develops from infancy to childhood. The framework includes four phases in the development of human altruism: (a) interest in social interactions, (b) preference for others’ goal completion, (c) concern with others’ well‐being, and (d) a normative stance toward altruistic actions. We point to needs for additional research, especially on developmental processes by which children develop from one phase to another, eventually leading children to acquire forms of altruism that play important roles in human societies.

AbstractPurposeThe aim of this 60 months follow‐up investigation was to investigate the impact of jaw location on clinical and radiological status of dental‐implant therapy in cigarette‐smokers and never‐smokers.Materials and MethodsTwenty‐nine self‐reported cigarette‐smokers and 27 nonsmokers were assessed. All implants were categorized into three regions with reference to their location in the maxilla or mandible: (a) Anterior zone: implants located in anterior teeth; (b) Middle zone: Implants located in the premolar region; and (c) posterior zone: implants located in the molar region. Peri‐implant crestal bone loss (CBL), bleeding‐on‐probing (BOP) and probing‐depth (PD) ≥ 4 mm and were assessed. Level of statistical significance was set at P < .05.ResultsMean age of cigarette‐smokers (n = 29) and never‐smokers (n = 27) was 44.5 years (39‐51 years) and 43.6 years (35‐49 years), respectively. The average duration of cigarette‐smoking was 20.3 years (17‐26 years). The mean periimplant PD (P < .05) and CBL (P < .05) were significantly higher in cigarette‐smokers in contrast to never‐smokers in all zones. No statistically significant differences in CBL, PD, and BOP were observed in the three zones of implant location among cigarette‐smokers and never‐smokers.ConclusionSmoking enhanced PD and CBL around dental implants and this relationship was independent of site of implant placement and jaw location.
Pretreatment effects on pigment‐based textile inkjet printing – colour gamut and crockfastness properties
Authors: Ding Yi , Shamey Renzo , Chapman Lisa Parillo , Freeman Harold S. 
Published: October 2018

The application of two commercial pretreatment agents, formulated to improve the performance of a six‐colour nano‐scale pigment ink set during the textile inkjet printing of cotton and polyester (PET) fabrics, was examined. An industrial scale printer, operating at 55 linear m/h and equipped with Kyocera printheads, was used to print on commercial fabrics (180 cm wide) prepared for digital printing. The work employed an industrial scale rather than a benchtop printer to enhance the utility of the results for a commercial environment. The colorimetric attributes of printed fabrics were recorded for the individual inks as well as for spot colour combinations generated using Dr. Wirth RIPMaster v11 software. Colour table profiles were also generated and the colorimetric values of inks were compared. Colour gamuts of inks on cotton and PET, including three‐dimensional volumes in the CIELab space, were examined to assess the role of pretreatment on the colorimetric properties of the printed substrates. It was found that the pretreatments enhanced the ink receptiveness, colour intensity and colour gamut of fabrics. Pretreatment of cotton resulted in a larger gamut and more vivid colours than on PET. However, wet and dry crockfastness results were found to be low. In this regard, Time‐of‐Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry analysis of fabrics printed in the presence and absence of pretreatment indicated that the low crockfastness arises from higher pigment levels on the surface of the pretreated fabric.
Cardiorenal syndrome in renal transplant recipients — It’s the fistula at fault: A case series

Published: October 2018

AbstractComplications arising from a functional arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in successful kidney transplant recipients (KT) have been overlooked despite some reports of its deleterious effect on heart, lungs, and kidney allograft. As such, there is no consensus regarding management of AVF after renal transplantation. We report Cardio‐Renal Syndrome Type 5 in kidney transplant recipients who presented with a clinical syndrome of shortness of breath, edematous state, kidney allograft dysfunction, and high pulmonary pressure 3‐8 months after successful transplantation. Investigations showed this to be due to high flow functioning AVF (>2 L/min) behaving like a systemic shunt causing high output heart failure, along with pulmonary and venous hypertension. This led to allograft dysfunction of fluid homeostasis. Symptoms resolved with cessation or reduction of AVF flow. Right heart catheterization and echocardiographic features indicating the syndrome are discussed to help clinicians identify the entity and decide management strategy for these AVF.
