Role of consumer traits and situational factors on impulse buying: does gender matter?
Authors: Atulkar Sunil , Kesari Bikrant 
Published: April 2018

Purpose
With the growing acceptance of organised retail in Central India, it is important to understand the impulse buying phenomenon and how it is influenced by consumer traits and situational factors. The purpose of this paper is to examine the combined effect of three consumer traits and four situational factors on impulsive buying.

Design/methodology/approach
Using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling (SmartPLS 2.0 software), responses from 417 hypermarket and supermarket consumers of Central India in the proposed research framework were analysed and validated.

Findings
The resulted values for the construct impulse buying tendency, shopping enjoyment tendency, materialism, person’s situation, motivational activities by retailers and product attributes show positive significant influences, whereas the construct store environment having relationship with impulse buying shows negative influence. Importantly, the findings also demonstrate that the gender moderates the relationship between various factors of consumer traits and situational factors with impulse buying.

Research limitations/implications
The study develops a research framework with three specific variables of consumer traits and four variables of situational factors, triggers impulse buying. Therefore, there is a need to incorporate some other variables, such as interpersonal influence, consumer involvement and consumption patterns, so that more affluent insights can be obtained. The study presents useful insights to retailers, academicians and researchers, regarding impulse buying behaviour of Indian consumers in a still developing organised retail sector in Central India.

Originality/value
The study focussed on the combined effect of consumer traits and situational factors on impulse buying for the first time in Central India, as earlier studies focussed on impulse buying behaviour at the USA and metro cities of India.

AbstractIntroductionPleural procedures are performed to prove the diagnosis of pleural effusion. This study was to assess the incidence and outcome of pleural procedure‐related tumour seeding in lung cancer with malignant pleural effusion, and to review the characteristics of the implanted tumours on computed tomography (CT) images.MethodsFrom January 2008 to December 2010, 165 patients with the diagnosis of lung cancer with malignant pleural effusion, who underwent at least one pleural procedure and had follow‐up CT, were included. Two radiologists retrospectively reviewed the presence of implanted tumours and their manifestations on CT images. The incidence of tumour seeding, the time to tumour seeding, and hazard ratios for death associated with the procedures and presence of tumour seeding were evaluated. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify variables that were independently associated with procedure‐related tumour seeding.ResultsThe incidence of procedure‐related tumour seeding was 22.4%. Conventional intercostal drainage (ICD) was the independent predictor of tumour seeding. Patients with a history of ICD rapidly developed implanted tumours (P = 0.0319). The estimated mean time of tumour seeding was 2.9 months. There was an increased risk of death with the presence of tumour seeding (HR: 3.35, 95% CI: 1.87–6.01). The majority of CT features showed ill‐defined margins with heterogeneous enhancement.ConclusionPleural procedure‐related tumour seeding in lung cancer with malignant pleural effusion is common. There was a significantly increased risk of death with the presence of tumour seeding. The majority of the CT features in implanted tumours were ill‐defined margins with heterogeneous enhancement.

Published: April 2018

SummaryThe Roseobacter‐group species Phaeobacter inhibens produces the antibacterial tropodithietic acid (TDA) and the algaecidal roseobacticides with both compound classes sharing part of the same biosynthetic pathway. The purpose of this study was to investigate the production of roseobacticides more broadly in TDA‐producing roseobacters and to compare the effect of producers and non‐producers on microalgae. Of 33 roseobacters analyzed, roseobacticide production was a unique feature of TDA‐producing P. inhibens, P. gallaeciensis and P. piscinae strains. One TDA‐producing Phaeobacter, 27‐4, did not produce roseobacticides, possibly due to a transposable element. TDA‐producing Ruegeria and Pseudovibrio did not produce roseobacticides. Addition of roseobacticide‐containing bacterial extracts affected the growth of the microalgae Rhodomonas salina, Thalassiosira pseudonana and Emiliania huxleyi, while growth of Tetraselmis suecica was unaffected. During co‐cultivation, growth of E. huxleyi was initially stimulated by the roseobacticide producer DSM 17395, while the subsequent decline in algal cell numbers during senescence was enhanced. Strain 27‐4 that does not produce roseobacticides had no effect on algal growth. Both bacterial strains, DSM 17395 and 27‐4, grew during co‐cultivation presumably utilizing algal exudates. Furthermore, TDA‐producing roseobacters have potential as probiotics in marine larviculture and it is promising that the live feed Tetraselmis was unaffected by roseobacticides‐containing extracts.
Whither IPOs? Toward an Ecosystem Perspective on Corporate Financing: A Commentary
Authors: Campbell Bryan , Magnan Michel 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThis commentary reviews the Canadian initial public offering (IPO) market and positions it within global capital market trends. Our views and comments reflect discussions with several market participants whom we have met over the years. Essentially, the falling number of IPOs in Canada during the last decade mimics trends in other developed countries such as the United States. In our view, five underlying factors underlie that decline. The picture that emerges is that capital markets are now widely viewed as a global integrated ecosystem where all actors are interconnected and an IPO represents but one way to raise capital.
Financial constraints and investment thirst in Chinese reverse merger companies
Authors: Cheng Zijian , Fleming Grant , Liu Zhangxin (Frank) 
Published: April 2018

AbstractUsing a hand‐collected data set of Chinese reverse mergers (RM) between 2006 and 2015, we find that financial constraints are more serious and investment thirst higher for RM companies as compared with initial public offering (IPO) companies. For state‐owned enterprises (SOEs), listing via a RM or an IPO does not impact the level of financial constraints post‐listing, while SOE RMs have higher investment thirst than SOE IPOs. By contrast, non‐SOE RMs are under more financial constraints and have higher investment thirst than non‐SOE IPOs. These differences are not presented during the 4 Trillion Yuan stimulus period between 2008 and 2010.
Economic policy uncertainty in China and stock market expected returns
Authors: Chen Jian , Jiang Fuwei , Tong Guoshi 
Published: April 2018

AbstractWe investigate the impact of China's economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on the time series variation of Chinese stock market expected returns. Using the news‐based measure of EPU, we find that EPU predicts negatively future stock market return at various horizons. This negative relation between economic policy uncertainty and expected future return remains significant as we control for a number of economic and market uncertainty variables or conduct out‐of‐sample tests. Our findings are consistent with behavioural asset pricing models, in which high uncertainty amplifies behavioural biases and generates speculative mis‐pricing under short‐sales constraint.
Implantology in oral & maxillofacial surgery. The complexity of ‘simple’ cases
Authors: Ruljancich K 
Published: April 2018

AbstractDental implants have been a routine part of dental practice for many years and are performed by a variety of practitioners with different backgrounds and training. This paper will outline the principles and practical surgical aspects of ‘simple’ implant placement against a background of our current understanding of the literature that informs our surgical procedures. Implants need to be placed in a restoratively suitable position surrounded by sufficient bone, draped in adequate keratinised soft tissue and sufficiently separated from one another and the adjacent teeth. Practically, while the above principles apply, there are nuances based on the local situation, adjacent teeth and restorative needs which will be considered in this paper. Surgery for the placement of implants needs a practitioner with adequate surgical training and experience and who understands the biological aspects and restorative needs of each clinical situation.

AimsTo test the in vivo activity of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1 in obese children vs. nonobese children, aged 11–18 years. Secondly, whether the activity of CYP2E1 in these patients is associated with NALFD, diabetes or hyperlipidaemia.MethodsSeventy children were divided into groups by body mass index (BMI) standard deviation score (SDS). All children received 250 mg oral chlorzoxazone (CLZ) as probe for CYP2E1 activity. Thirteen blood samples and 20‐h urine samples were collected per participant.ResultsObese children had an increased oral clearance and distribution of CLZ, indicating increased CYP2E1 activity, similar to obese adults. The mean AUC0–∞ value of CLZ was decreased by 46% in obese children compared to nonobese children. The F was was increased twofold in obese children compared to nonobese children, P < 0.0001. Diabetic biomarkers were significantly increased in obese children, while fasting blood glucose and Hba1c levels were nonsignificant between groups. Liver fat content was not associated with CLZ Cl.ConclusionOral clearance of CLZ was increased two‐fold in obese children vs. nonobese children aged 11–18 years. This indicates an increased CYP2E1 activity of clinical importance, and dose adjustment should be considered for CLZ.

Published: April 2018

ObjectivesTo investigate the association between self‐reported urinary incontinence (UI) and sexual health in a representative sample of older people.Subjects and MethodsParticipants were community‐dwelling women and men aged 50–90+ years from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) who reported any sexual activity in the last year. The prevalence of UI was assessed both cross‐sectionally (ELSA Wave 6; 2012) and retrospectively over the preceding 8 years (ELSA Waves 2–6; 2004–2012). Sexual activities, difficulties and concerns were assessed using a validated Sexual Relationships and Activities Questionnaire. The association between UI and sexual health outcomes was examined using weighted logistic regressions, with adjustments made for demographic, health, and lifestyle factors.ResultsAt Wave 6, 391 (20.0%) women and 141 (6.9%) men reported ‘any UI’ in the last 12 months. Compared to those without UI, women with UI reported declines in sexual activity and arousal over the last year, and increased concern about their frequency of sexual activity and ability to become sexually aroused. Men with ‘any UI’ reported declines in sexual desire, increased erectile and orgasm difficulties, and were more concerned about these sexual functions compared to men without UI. Differences in the patterns of association with sexual health were seen, dependent upon whether UI was reported as sporadic or persistent, and also with respect to the duration of retrospectively reported UI.ConclusionSelf‐reported UI was associated with impairment in sexual health in women and men, and mainly linked to recent declines in sexual activity and function along with elevated sexual concerns. Our findings highlight that the sexual health of older people should be considered when managing UI.
Species‐specific germination responses to fire‐associated heat of elephant‐dispersed seeds in Nimule National Park, South Sudan
Authors: Lado Thomas F. , Jibi Wani F. , Moilinga Pasquale T. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractFire‐related heat and endozoochory by elephants have independently been found to be important for savanna plant seed germination, yet there is little information on how heat affects germination of elephant‐dispersed seeds. We measured the germination behavior (time to germination and proportion of seeds germinating) of 11 species of seeds extracted from African savanna elephant dung and subjected them to various intensities of heat as a proxy for fire exposure. The effects of heat were inconsistent and varied significantly by species, with some species having increased time to germination in response to heat and others having reduced time to germination. More studies are needed to expand the number of seed species examined and tease apart the interaction between elephant‐mediated endozoochory and fire.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is considered an innovative and attractive modality to treat ovarian cancer. In the present study, a biodegradable polymer poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)‐poly (lactic acid)(PLA)‐folate (FA‐PEG‐PLA) was prepared in order to synthesize an active‐targeting, water‐soluble and pharmacomodulated photosensitizer nanocarrier. Drug‐loading content, encapsulation efficiency, in vitro and in vivo release were characterized, in which hypocrellin B (HB)/FA‐PEG‐PLA micelles had a high encapsulation efficiency and much slower control release for drugs compared to free drugs (P < .05). To evaluate the targeting ability of the HB/FA‐PEG‐PLA micelles, a cellular uptake study in vitro was carried out, which showed significantly enhanced uptake of HB/FA‐PEG‐PLA micelles in SKOV3 (FR+) compared to A2780 cancer cells (FR−). The enhanced uptake of HB/FA‐PEG‐PLA micelles to cancer cells resulted in a more effective post‐PDT killing of SKOV3 cells compared to plain micelles and free drugs. Binding and uptake of HB/FA‐PEG‐PLA micelles by SKOV3 cells were also observed in vivo after ip injection of folate‐targeted micelles in tumor‐bearing ascitic ovarian cancer animals. Drug levels in ascitic tumor tissues were increased 20‐fold (P < .001), which underscored the effect of a regional therapy approach with folate targeting. Furthermore, the HB‐loaded micelles were mainly distributed in kidney and liver (the main clearance organs) in biodistribution. These results showed that our newly developed PDT photosensitizer HB/FA‐PEG‐PLA micelles have a high drug‐loading capacity, good biocompatibility, controlled drug release, and enhanced targeting and antitumor effect, which is a potential approach to future targeting ovarian cancer therapy.

In the quest for new active molecules against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a series of dihydroquinoline derivatives possessing triazolo substituents were efficiently synthesized using click chemistry. The structure of 6l was evidenced by X‐ray crystallographic study. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (ATCC27294). The compounds 6a, 6g, and 6j (MIC: 3.13 μg/ml) showed promising activity when compared to the first‐line drug such as ethambutol. In addition, the structure and antitubercular activity relationship were further supported by in silico molecular docking studies of the active compounds against 3IVX.PDB (crystal structure of pantothenate synthetase in complex with 2‐(2‐(benzofuran‐2‐ylsulfonylcarbamoyl)‐5‐methoxy‐1H‐indol‐1‐yl)acetic acid).

Published: April 2018

AbstractAdvancements in research and technology are transforming our world. The dental profession is changing too, in the light of scientific discoveries that are advancing biological technology—from new biomaterials to unravelling the genetic make‐up of the human being. As health professionals, we embrace a model of continuous quality improvement and lifelong learning. Our pedagogical approach to incorporating the plethora of scientific‐technological advancements calls for us to shift our paradigm from emphasis on skill acquisition to knowledge application. The 2017 ADEE/ADEA workshop provided a forum to explore and discuss strategies to ensure faculty, students and, ultimately, patients are best positioned to exploit the opportunities that arise from integrating new technological advances and research outcomes. Participants discussed methods of incorporating the impact of new technologies and research findings into the education of our dental students. This report serves as a signpost of the way forward and how to promote incorporation of research and technology advances and lifelong learning into the dental education curriculum.
CEO Incentives and Corporate Innovation
Authors: Nguyen Tu 
Published: April 2018

AbstractUsing scaled wealth‐performance sensitivity as my measure of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) incentives, and utilizing cross‐sectional variations in industry innovativeness, product market competition and firms’ degree of exposure to the market for corporate control for identification purposes, I find that higher long‐term incentives that stem from CEO holdings of unvested options are associated with greater subsequent corporate innovation in innovative industries, competitive product markets, and firms more exposed to the threat of hostile takeovers, that is, exactly where incentivizing innovation is a matter of necessity. I address the endogeneity concerns with systems of simultaneous equations estimated using three‐stage least squares. A possible channel for the observed relation between unvested options‐based incentives and subsequent corporate innovation is that these incentives encourage managers to undertake riskier projects to achieve long‐term economic benefits.
Effects of mobilities on the research output and its multidisciplinarity of academics in Hong Kong and Macau: An exploratory study
Authors: Horta Hugo , Jung Jisun , Santos João M. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThis article explores how the past mobilities of academics affect their current research output (and its multidisciplinarity). Five types of mobility are used simultaneously in the analysis. Field mobility and transnational educational mobility are associated with academics' educational path, whereas transnational job mobility, intra‐sectoral job mobility and inter‐sectoral job mobility refer to their career path. The analysis is based on a representative sample of academics based in Hong Kong and Macau. Results show that intra‐sectoral job mobility (up to a threshold) and transnational job mobility positively affect research output and its multidisciplinarity, whereas inter‐sectoral job mobility, field mobility and transnational educational mobility exert slight or no effect. Nested analyses of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and non‐STEM academics as well as experienced and junior academics offer further insight into the roles of these mobilities. Impacts of mobile experience were stronger among junior than senior academics, and in STEM fields than non‐STEM fields. The article discusses these findings along with the significance of considering mobilities rather than mobility when analysing academic trajectories and the determinants of academic research production.
