Suicide attempt trends leading up to and following gun lock changes in the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act
Authors: Anestis Michael D. , Daruwala Samantha E. , Carey Neil 
Published: March 2019

PurposeFirearms account for the majority of suicide deaths in the US military and general population. The percentage of suicides resulting from firearms is higher in the military, however, and as such, the ratio of non-lethal to lethal suicide attempts is lower in the military than in the general population. In 2013, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act, which facilitated a Department of Defense (DoD) shift toward allowing commanding officers and clinicians to inquire about personal firearms with service members perceived as being at risk and also began giving free cable locks to firearm-owning military personnel. The purpose of this paper is to provide a preliminary understanding of the effectiveness of this change, the authors examined trends in firearm suicide attempts within the US military and general population from 2010 to 2015.Design/methodology/approachData on non-lethal and lethal suicide attempts overall and within specific methods were extracted from the Department of Defense Suicide Event Report and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (2011–2015).FindingsContrary to expectations, firearms were not utilized in a smaller proportion of suicide attempts within the military post-law change. Consistent with expectations, however, the ratio of non-lethal to lethal suicide attempts increased, particularly after the change in law, with the ratio in the military converging somewhat with that of the general population.Originality/valueOverall, results were mixed, with only limited and tangential evidence that the change in law has proven effective. More precise data collection will be required in order to fully evaluate such laws.
Learn to be good or bad? Revisited observer effects of punishment: curvilinear relationship and network contingencies
Authors: Xiao Zhenxin , Dong Maggie Chuoyan , Zhu Xiaoxuan 
Published: March 2019

PurposeAlthough supplier-initiated punishment is widely used to manage distributors’ opportunism, its spillover effect on unpunished distributors (i.e. observers) within the same distribution network remains under-researched. Specifically, this paper aims to investigate the curvilinear effect of punishment severity on an observer’s opportunism, and how such an effect is contingent on the observer’s network position.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses regression analysis with survey data gathered from 218 distributors in China’s automobile industry.FindingsPunishment severity has an inverted U-shaped effect on the observers’ opportunism, and such effect is weakened by both the observers’ network centrality and their degree of dependence on the supplier.Practical implicationsThe findings should encourage suppliers to focus more on the spillover effects of punishment on observers. To this end, the supplier must deliberately initiate the appropriate level of punishment severity against its distributors because an inappropriate level of punishment severity (e.g. too lenient) may unexpectedly raise the unpunished observers’ level of opportunism. Moreover, the supplier should be fully aware that observers’ specific network positions may produce varying spillover effects of the punishment.Originality/valueThis study enriches the literature on channel governance by revealing the curvilinear mechanism through which punishment severity influences observers’ opportunism. By applying social learning theory to channel punishment research, this study unveils both the inhibitive learning and the imitative learning forces inherent in a single punishment event, and it delineates their joint effect on an observer’s opportunism. In addition, this study outlines the observer’s vertical and horizontal relationships within the distribution network and explores their contingent roles in determining the spillover effects of punishment.
Bridging the gap between culture, identity and image: a structurationist conceptualization of place brands and place branding
Authors: Pedeliento Giuseppe , Kavaratzis Mihalis 
Published: March 2019

PurposeAlthough place branding is increasingly popular in research as well as in local, regional and national political agendas, the theoretical foundations of the place branding discipline are still underdeveloped. By embracing the stream of identity-based studies, this paper aims to attempt to demonstrate that place brands can be usefully approached through an emphasis of their cultural traits and the practical connection between culture, identity and image.Design/methodology/approachIn constructing its theoretical arguments, the paper challenges the place branding model propounded by Kavaratzis and Hatch (2013), and uses practices as units of analysis. The paper conducts a brief review of the principal tenets of practice theory(IES) and uses structuration theory as a theoretical device to demonstrate how this theory can provide a (still lacking) theoretical anchorage for the place branding process.FindingsThe usefulness of structuration theory for understanding the place branding process is analysed at both the strategic and tactical levels by means of two illustrative examples. Structuration theory proves to be a solid theory which links the constitutive elements of the place branding process, i.e. culture, identity and image, and to inspire further theoretical elaborations and empirical efforts grounded on this theory.Originality/valueThis is the first paper which uses practice theory(ies) in general and structuration theory in particular to explain the place branding process. The theoretical arguments advanced provide valuable guidance for further theoretical elaborations and empirical applications.
An emoji-based metric for monitoring consumers’ emotions toward brands on social media
Authors: Moussa Salim 
Published: March 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to introduce and test a new emoji-based metric that could be used to monitor consumers’ emotions toward brands on social media.Design/methodology/approachTo test this new metric, 720 consumer tweets were retrieved from official Twitter accounts of 18 leading global brands representing 6 product categories/markets. In order to check its validity, the emoji-based metric was correlated with two measures: the percentage of positive emojis from Brandwatch’s (2018) Emoji Report and the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) for 2017.FindingsThe findings of this paper indicate that consumers tend to use more (vs less) positive emojis when expressing their feelings toward Coca-Cola (vs Taco Bell). They also show that the new metric is highly and positively associated with the ACSI, hence supporting its validity.Research limitations/implicationsThe new metric is only applicable to brands that have a social media presence.Practical implicationsThe proposed metric is easy to implement and interpret by almost every researcher and manager.Originality/valueWhile all extant brand sentiment analyses focus on analyzing the words in brand-related user-generated content, this paper considers an alternative source of information about emotions, that is, emojis. Beyond being valid, the proposed emoji-based metric is unique, easy to implement and interpret, and generalizable.
The gladiatorial sponsorship arena: how ambushing impacts memory
Authors: Kelly Sarah J. , Cornwell Bettina , Singh Kiran 
Published: March 2019

PurposeThe practice whereby a non-official sponsor brand attempts to “ambush” an official sponsor’s rights continues to threaten sporting events. A key motivator of the ensuing regulatory response is grounded in the ambiguity that ambush marketing generates, namely, by obscuring public awareness of the legitimate sponsor. However, the cognitive processes underpinning sponsorship identification have only recently been investigated empirically. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of ambush advertising on sponsorship memory.Design/methodology/approachA 2 (brand advertising: sponsorship-linked vs non-sponsorship-linked) × 2 (ambush advertisement: ambush advertisement vs filler) experimental design was used to test the impact of exposure on sponsor recall and recognition.FindingsThe results indicate that exposure to ambush advertising has adverse effects cognitively. When presented with a sponsorship-linked advertisement and an ambush advertisement, the participants had diminished recall of who the legitimate sponsor was, and were less likely to recognize them.Research limitations/implicationsThis work has important theoretical implications in that it draws together the existing literature on sponsorship, advertising and cognitive fields. Moreover, on a practical level, this work informs the debate on increased regulatory intervention into ambushing practices, which is centered on tensions between balancing fair marketing practice with the rights of sponsors and event organizers.Originality/valueTo date, there is a paucity of research that examines the effects of ambushing in a sports sponsorship context. The unique contribution of this study is that it shows the process through which ambushing advertising adversely impacts sponsors’ rights.
Companion shopping: the influence on mall brand experiences
Authors: Merrilees Bill , Miller Dale 
Published: March 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of a shopping companion on mall brand experience.

Design/methodology/approach
The quantitative multi-group structural equation model study contrasts three shopper types: those shopping alone; those shopping with friends; and those shopping with family. Two categories are shoppers in a group. Nine hypotheses evaluate the impact of shopping with a companion.

Findings
The results show that companions enhance the emotional brand experience. Further, shoppers with family companions are most able to enhance brand evaluation from mall brand experience. Shopping companions help co-create the shopping brand experience.

Research limitations/implications
The findings are limited to Australian shoppers and contrast with Canadian studies, emphasizing friends. Alone shoppers place priority on price and only the alone shoppers are price-sensitive. The findings help address the gap in the literature, namely, understanding focal retail consumers in a group situation.

Practical implications
Retailers and mall managers in planned shopping centers could consider developing different retail strategies and brand experiences, which address the specific types of customer groups or alone shoppers.

Social implications
The paper is explicitly about social influences.

Originality/value
This original research contributes new perspectives to understanding the role of companion shoppers as co-creators of the focal shopper’s mall brand experience.
Trade and financial openness and their impact on financial development
Authors: Arif Imtiaz , Rawat Amna Sohail 
Published: March 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of trade and financial sector openness and their simultaneous openness on financial development of South Asia.Design/methodology/approachTo serve the purpose, a panel data set of four South Asian economies, namely, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, was constituted for the period spanning from 1996 to 2015. Along with the conventional panel unit root test and co-integration test, pooled mean group estimations were used to formulate the empirical findings.FindingsThe findings suggested a significant negative impact of financial openness and significant positive impact of trade openness on the financial development of South Asia. The empirical evidence did not support simultaneous openness of trade and financial sector for the studied region.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the existing literature by analyzing the effect of trade and financial openness on financial development of South Asia. The study provides substantial evidence to the stakeholders for formulating policies that can boost financial development of the region.
(Mis)representation of Latinxs in Florida social studies standards
Authors: Davis Erika 
Published: March 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine how frequently Latinxs and Latin Americans and/or topics related to these groups are represented in the Florida K-12 social studies standards and in what contexts. Drawing from critical race theory (CRT), this study further questions to what extent these contexts account for intersectionality among Latinxs and Latin Americans, challenge dominant narratives and stereotypes through counter-perspectives or reinforce whiteness as property.

Design/methodology/approach
All Florida social studies benchmarks relevant to Latinxs and/or Latin Americans were extracted and the frequency of representation and percentage of coverage were calculated. As a mixed-methods study, the context of representation was accounted for through a textual analysis of all extracted benchmarks which were grouped into emerging themes based on CRT tenets and principles.

Findings
Three contextual themes developed: political conflict/war, immigration and suppression or absence. Findings from this critical analysis of Florida social studies standards illuminate the continued racial and ethnic disparities in educational standards, curriculum and materials that leave some students and their histories out of the discourse.

Practical implications
Florida social studies standards require large-scale reform with input from Latinx communities and scholars to create an accurate and inclusive narrative and basis for social studies education.

Originality/value
This paper underscores the importance of culturally relevant and nuanced representations of Latinxs and Latin Americans in educational discourses.
Elementary classroom libraries and social studies trade books
Authors: Hodges Tracey S. , Wright Katherine Landau , Coleman Julianne M. , Swain Holly Hilboldt , Schweiker Claire , Mansouri Behzad 
Published: March 2019

Purpose
Standards and policy changes in K-12 education have created the unintended consequence of reducing instructional time spent on social studies content. This limited time devoted to social studies presumably has led to more integrated social studies and literacy instruction. The purpose of this paper is to document the types of high-quality social studies children’s books found in classroom libraries across five states.

Design/methodology/approach
In the present mixed methods study, the researchers utilized a database of 60 classroom libraries across five states to identify which high-quality trade books, defined by the National Council for the Social Studies, were present. The researchers document trends in both frequencies of books and social studies content across decades, classrooms, grade levels and states from 1972 to 2015.

Findings
The findings indicate that National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) Notable Trade Books for Young People texts are largely missing from the elementary classroom libraries the researchers sampled. Of the 5,544 unique titles included on the NCSS lists from 1972 to 2015, 453 were located in the US classroom libraries database, representing 8.17 percent of books found on the notable lists.

Originality/value
Before teachers can take steps toward integrating social studies and literacy, they need easy access to high-quality social studies texts. Many high-quality trade books are recommended each year for exposing students to social studies content; however, the researchers found limited numbers of these books in classroom libraries. The researchers recommend the lists be circulated to a wider audience to inform more teachers about these texts.
The SCIA Questionnaire: standards for communities for children and adolescents – a tool for the evaluation of good practices
Authors: Guarnaccia Cinzia , Ferraro Anna Maria , Lo Cascio Maria , Bruschetta Simone , Giannone Francesca 
Published: March 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present the Italian validation of the standards for communities for children and adolescents (SCIA) Questionnaire, an evaluation tool of communities quality standards, based on the “Service Standards for Therapeutic Communities for Children and Young People – 2nd edition” of the Community of Communities (2009), that enables an empirical, multidimensional and complex evaluation of the therapeutic community (TC) “system”. It is a self-report that sets out and measures variables that allow to get an overview of organisational models and the possible development areas to improve the effectiveness of the protection of child and adolescents in community treatment. The validation and a preliminary analysis to develop a short version of the SCIA are presented.

Design/methodology/approach
The questionnaire (composed, in the extended form, by 143 items) was administered to 101 community workers, 20 males (19.8 per cent) and 81 females (81.2 per cent) aged between 24 and 61 years (M=36.20, SD=8.4). The analysis of reliability (Cronbach’s α) and a series of exploratory factor analysis allowed to eliminate redundant or less significant items.

Findings
The short form of the self-report consists of 67 items, divided into seven subscales, which explore different areas of intervention in TCs. Despite the limitations due to the small sample size, the utility of this tool remains confirmed by its clinical use and the development of good operating practices.

Originality/value
The SCIA Questionnaire responds to the need to adopt empirical variables in the process of evaluation of the communities. The SCIA is also a useful tool for clinical evaluation, as it allows a detailed observation of residential community treatment with children and adolescents that allows to analyse and monitor the structural and organisational aspects and the quality of practices that guide the interventions.
Numerical study on evaporation heat transfer characteristics of water in inclined microchannels with varying inlet vapor quality
Authors: SVB Vivekanand , VRK Raju 
Published: March 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of gravity on the heat transfer behavior of the two-phase flow of water undergoing phase change. Most of the earlier studies of convective boiling considered systems where the gravity is neglected. In contrast, the authors investigated systems where the gravity is considered. The heat transfer characteristics of water during its evaporation in microchannel heat sink are studied for different channel inclinations.Design/methodology/approachComputational fluid dynamics software ANSYS Fluent is used for the computational study. The volume of fluids multiphase method available in the package is used to capture the vapor–liquid interface. Heat transfer studies are carried out for a rectangular microchannel having a characteristic dimension of 825 µm at different inclinations, which varied from −90° (vertically downward) to 90° (vertically upward). During each simulation, the vapor quality is set at the inlet. Uniform heat flux of 250 kW/m2is applied at the bottom wall of the channel in all orientations of the channel, keeping the upper wall insulated.FindingsAs compared to horizontal configuration, a significant increase in the values of heat transfer coefficient during the fluid flow in inclined microchannels is noticed. It is observed that the Nusselt number for the vertically upward (+90°) and horizontal (0°) configuration are similar and that for the 45° upward configuration exceeds other configurations. It is also observed that the heat transfer performance becomes lower in downward configurations; nearly 40-50 per cent drop in average Nusselt number is observed for a mass flux of 250 kg m-2s-1with respect to 45° inclined microchannel. This behavior can be attributed to the gravitational effect on the two-phase flow because of which the vapor phase being less dense moves away from the heated wall, whereas the primary phase being heavier moves towards the heated wall of the channel. Also, the conductivity of the liquid being higher than the vapor phase, as well as the aperture of the liquid being small during this process, its velocity increases resulting in the augmentation of heat transfer.Originality/valueUser-defined-functions for the mass and energy source terms have been written in C code and hooked in ANSYS Fluent to incorporate the phase change mechanism during the evaporation of water.
Opportunities to enhance relational wellbeing through the National Disability Insurance Scheme: Implications from research on relationships and a content analysis of NDIS documentation
Authors: Meltzer Ariella , Davy Laura 
Published: March 2019

AbstractInterpersonal relationships are critically important to ensuring that people with disability can access the benefits of individual funding models such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The NDIS aims to enhance participants’ self‐determination of supports and social and economic participation, but the emerging evidence indicates that achieving these policy outcomes requires stronger recognition of participants’ relational context, even in a system focused on individual choice and control. This paper reports on a content analysis of the NDIS Act, NDIS Rules, Operational Guidelines, and Price Guide to examine the extent to which the scheme's conceptual foundations and funded supports in individual plans enable it to support relationships. Implications are drawn from this analysis and theory and evidence about the importance of relationships for disability policy and practice. The paper outlines three areas where the approach of the NDIS to relationships is limited and can be improved: first, by conceptualizing relationships as relationships rather than simply sources of informal support; second, through provisions to actively support relationships; and third, by considering the relational appropriateness of support provided by family, carers, and friends. It concludes with suggestions for how relational considerations can be enhanced, including implications for government in administering the scheme.
Invisible cortex sign: A highly accurate feature to localize the inferolateral central sulcus
Authors: Su Shu , Yang Natalie , Gaillard Frank 
Published: March 2019

AbstractIntroductionThe central sulcus is a key landmark on MRI of the brain, but its inferolateral portion is difficult to identify if unable to trace the sulcus superoinferiorly. The authors observed that the cortex abutting the central sulcus appears isointense to the adjacent white matter on DWI, we named this the ‘invisible cortex sign’ and our study evaluates whether it could be used to identify the inferolateral central sulcus.MethodsObservational study of 108 consecutive ‘normal’ MRI studies performed from May 2016 to January 2017. A single axial DWI image – obtained in the anterior commissure‐posterior commissure plane – was selected from each scan just above the subcentral gyrus such that it included the most inferolateral portion of the central sulcus. These single images were given to 10 readers (neuroradiologists, a neuroradiology fellow and radiology trainees) who marked the central sulcus based on the presence of the ‘invisible cortex sign’. Their accuracy in identifying the central sulcus was compared with that of the principal investigators, who used tri‐planar T1 volumetric MRI sequences.ResultsOne hundred and eight consecutive patients (55 female, 53 male) were selected, ranging from 18 to 81 years old (mean = 40.5, σ = 18.2). The central sulcus was correctly identified in 95.5% of cases (σ = 3.7%; range 89.4–99.1%).ConclusionThe ‘invisible cortex sign’ is a highly accurate method of identifying the inferolateral central sulcus on a single axial DWI slice without relying on the more superior aspects of the sulcus.
