Discounts or gifts? Not just to save money
Authors: Gong Yanping , Hou Wei , Zhang Qin , Tian Shuang 
Published: November 2018

PurposeDecision theory holds that the ambiguity of decision information affects the choices of decision makers, who have the emotion of “ambiguity aversion” when making fuzzy decisions. The purpose of this paper is to explore the neural mechanism how the information ambiguity of different sales promotion strategies influences consumers’ purchasing decision.Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses the event-related potential (ERP) technique and experiment.FindingsResults indicate that the information ambiguity of sales promotion strategies did influence the purchasing decision of consumers, and there were significant differences in the amplitudes of brain wave P2, N2 and P3 when consumers encountered the sales promotions of different types (discounts and gift-giving). This reflects the difference in perceived risk, decision-making conflict and decision-making attitude. It means that compared with discounts, the perceived risk and difficulty increased while the decision-making confidence plunged when consumers were faced with gift-giving promotions. This finding gives an explanation on the neural level why consumers prefer discounts, rather gift-giving sales promotions.Practical implicationsFor the merchants to promote commodities online, it is suggested that the actual benefit from the sales promotion should be specified to reduce the ambiguity of sales promotion information. As the neuromarketing develops, merchants have obtained more effective approaches to study marketing strategies.Originality/valueOne of the theoretical contributions this paper made is that the authors innovatively explored the consumer’s preference to online sales promotion strategies from the perspective of fuzzy decision. Second, the authors adopted the ERP technique to study the influence of the ambiguity of sales promotion information on the consumer’s purchasing behaviors. Third, this study provides an explanation for why consumers prefer the sales promotion type of discounts according to the neural mechanism of decision making.
Integration of point cloud data and hyperspectral imaging as a data gathering methodology for refurbishment projects using building information modelling (BIM)
Authors: Amano Kinjiro , Lou Eric C.W. , Edwards Rodger 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
Building information modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building. Its use offers a range of benefits in terms of achieving the efficient design, construction, operation and maintenance of buildings. Applying BIM at the outset of a new build project should be relatively easy. However, it is often problematic to apply BIM techniques to an existing building, for example, as part of a refurbishment project or as a tool supporting the facilities management strategy, because of inadequacies in the previous management of the dataset that characterises the facility in question. These inadequacies may include information on as built geometry and materials of construction. By the application of automated retrospective data gathering for use in BIM, such problems should be largely overcome and significant benefits in terms of efficiency gains and cost savings should be achieved.

Design/methodology/approach
Laser scanning can be used to collect geometrical and spatial information in the form of a 3D point cloud, and this technique is already used. However, as a point cloud representation does not contain any semantic information or geometrical context, such point cloud data must refer to external sources of data, such as building specification and construction materials, to be in used in BIM.

Findings
Hyperspectral imaging techniques can be applied to provide both spectral and spatial information of scenes as a set of high-resolution images. Integrating of a 3D point cloud into hyperspectral images would enable accurate identification and classification of surface materials and would also convert the 3D representation to BIM.

Originality/value
This integrated approach has been applied in other areas, for example, in crop management. The transfer of this approach to facilities management and construction would improve the efficiency and automation of the data transition from building pathology to BIM. In this study, the technological feasibility and advantages of the integration of laser scanning and hyperspectral imaging (the latter not having previously been used in the construction context in its own right) is discussed, and an example of the use of a new integration technique is presented, applied for the first time in the context of buildings.
Now they’re listening: involvement in clinical psychology training
Authors: Lea Laura , Holttum Sue , Butters Victoria , Byrne Diana , Cable Helen , Morris Di , Richardson John , Riley Linda , Warren Hannah 
Published: November 2018

PurposeThe 2014/2015 UK requirement for involvement of service users and carers in training mental health professionals has prompted the authors to review the work of involvement in clinical psychology training in the university programme. Have the voices of service users and carers been heard? The paper aims to discuss this issue.Design/methodology/approachThe authors update the paper of 2011 in which the authors described the challenges of inclusion and the specific approaches the authors take to involvement. The authors do this in the context of the recent change to UK standards for service user and carer involvement, and recent developments in relation to partnership working and co-production in mental healthcare. The authors describe the work carried out by the authors – members of a service user involvement group at a UK university – to ensure the voices of people affected by mental health difficulties are included in all aspects of training.FindingsCareful work and the need for dedicated time is required to enable inclusive, effective and comprehensive participation in a mental health training programme. It is apparent that there is a group of service users whose voice is less heard: those who are training to be mental health workers.Social implicationsFor some people, involvement has increased. Trainee mental health professionals’ own experience of distress may need more recognition and valuing.Originality/valueThe authors are in a unique position to review a service-user-led project, which has run for 12 years, whose aim has been to embed involvement in training. The authors can identify both achievements and challenges.

Energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emissions: evidence from G7 countries
Authors: Banday Umer Jeelanie , Aneja Ranjan 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to find out the relationship between energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emissions for the G7 countries over the period 1971–2014. The second intent of the paper is to make a comparison whether it is renewable energy consumption, non-renewable energy consumption, or both that determine sustainable economic growth in G7 countries.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors testify the relationship among energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emissions using numerous econometric techniques. The authors have applied pooled mean group autoregressive distribution model (ARDL) for long-run and short-run relationships for individual countries. Finally, the authors have applied Granger causality testing based on Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) and Emirmahmutoglu and Kose’s (2011) approach in order to check the causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth, CO2 emission and economic growth and vice versa.

Findings
However, energy usage is a greater concern due to the increase in imported energy prices. With this preposition, new thinking needs to be carried out for energy usage and sustainable economic growth. The authors consider cross-sectional reliance and cross-country heterogeneity for seven developed countries. The tests utilized in this investigation include the bootstrap causality approach of Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) and LA–VAR approach of Toda and Yamamoto (1995) that permits testing the causality for every individual panel individuals independently. However, not very many empirical works bring these two separate streams of writing together to analyze the causal connections between energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emission for G7 countries.

Originality/value
However, energy usage is a greater concern due to the increase in imported energy prices. Meanwhile, the exhaustive use of fossil fuels increases emission level which leads to climate change, global warming, reduction in agriculture productivity and danger to human life. With this preposition, new thinking needs to be carried out for energy usage and sustainable economic growth. There are limited number of studies addressing energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emission relationship. This study employs different methodology to find out the relationship among the variables.
Does an impaired capacity for self-care impact the prevalence of social and emotional loneliness among elderly people?
Authors: Canjuga Irena , Železnik Danica , Neuberg Marijana , Božicevic Marija , Cikac Tina 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of self-care on the prevalence of loneliness among elderly people living in retirement homes and older people living in their homes/communities.

Design/methodology/approach
The research was conducted through standardized SELSA-L assessment loneliness questionnaires and the Self Care Assessment Worksheet for self-care assessment. The results were processed using the Kruskal–Wallis test.

Findings
The obtained results have shown that impaired self-care ability affects the prevalence of loneliness among the elderly almost the same in both groups of participants. However, regarding the relationship between the state of health and self-care, only a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of loneliness is found in the case of the participants living in their homes, with the worst health condition affecting the poorer psychological care.

Research limitations/implications
It is necessary to point out the limitations of the research, primarily sample limitations and the selected design of the study. The sample consisted of two different and relatively small groups of participants which could adversely affect the representativeness of the sample and reduce the possibility of generalising the results. The next limiting factor is the age distribution the authors used in the research, where the age of the participants as a very important variable was collected by age range and not precisely which consequently resulted in inequality in subgroup sizes. Thus, the middle age (75–85) covers up to ten years, which is a huge range at an older age and can mean major differences in functional ability, and can impact the self-care assessment.

Practical implications
Nurses are indispensable in care for the elderly and they need to promote and encourage self-care of the elderly through health care. Elderly people living in retirement homes should be allowed to participate equally in health care in order to preserve their own autonomy and dignity. However, to benefit those who live in their homes, nurses should be connected to the local community and thus stimulate various forms of preventative (testing blood sugar levels, blood pressure and educating on the importance of preventive examinations) or recreational activities in the environment of elderly people with the goal of preserving their functional abilities.

Originality/value
The impact of self-care on loneliness was not sufficiently researched, and this paper contributed to understanding the complexity of loneliness phenomena among the elderly with the aim of developing a model of prevention.
A Workable New Plan, or Just Wishful Thinking?
Authors: Smith David 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThere are large parts of the Commission on Economic Justice's diagnosis that are unanswerable. There are some good ideas in the report, but some seem seriously misguided. There is a strong sense, as in other reports, of ‘industry good, finance bad’. The Commission says that the aim of its report is to ‘spark a national conversation on why we need a change of direction, and what that direction should be’. Such a conversation is needed, at this time more than most others, and so it has succeeded in that respect.
The Jewel in the Crown: Co‐optive Capacity and Participation During Austerity in Cardiff and San Sebastián‐Donostia
Authors: Guarneros‐Meza Valeria , Tellería Imanol , Blas Asier , Pill Madeleine 
Published: November 2018

AbstractIn this article we compare Cardiff and San Sebastián‐Donostia (Donostia) qualitatively, arguing that local governments’ capacity to co‐opt non‐state actors provides a relevant approach to understanding changes in citizen participation under fiscal austerity. Our argument is based on the close interrelationships of co‐optation, legitimacy and procedural regulation. These concepts help us understand how citizen participation is maintained in periods of instability, as experienced by city governments during and in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Local governments’ legitimacy is maintained in so far as it shows capacity to co‐opt through negotiation, capture, ‘technicalization’ of processes and minimization of conflict. These elements work in tandem with factors of urban austerity embedded into a longer‐term neoliberalizing discourse. Our findings show that both city governments maintained their legitimacy but that, in the process, Cardiff Council's co‐optive capacity weakened, in contrast to Donostia's.

Published: November 2018

AbstractBlood pressure variability is an independent risk factor for mortality and cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients. Dialysate sodium concentration may not only have effects on blood pressure but also on blood pressure variability. We investigated whether dialysate sodium concentration lowering could decrease home blood pressure variability in hemodialysis patients. Forty‐three hemodialysis patients at their dry weight assessed by bioimpedance methods with pre‐dialysis serum sodium >136 mmol/L were recruited. Firstly, patients underwent a 1‐month standard dialysis with dialysate sodium concentration of 138 mmol/L, and then the dialysate sodium concentration was decreased to 136 mmol/L for 8 weeks. Home blood pressure was assessed on waking up and at bedtime for 1 week. Coefficient of variation was used to define home blood pressure variability. After the intervention, whole‐day systolic blood pressure variability decreased from 5.7 ± 2.6% to 4.3 ± 1.7% and evening systolic blood pressure variability decreased from 7.9 ± 4.1% to 6.2 ± 3.1%. Morning systolic blood pressure variability had a reduction from 7.8 ± 2.4% to 5.9 ± 3.3% but did not achieve statistical significance (P = 0.077). Whole‐day, morning and evening systolic blood pressure were decreased significantly. Less changes were observed in diastolic blood pressure parameters. Interdialytic weight gain mildly but significantly decreased. Volume parameters, dietary sodium intake and incidence of adverse events were similar throughout the study period. Lowering dialysate sodium concentration could improve home blood pressure variability among hemodialysis patients who had achieved their dry weight.
Oestradiol influences on dopamine release from the nucleus accumbens shell: sex differences and the role of selective oestradiol receptor subtypes
Authors: Yoest Katie E , Cummings Jennifer A , Becker Jill B 
Published: November 2018

Background and PurposeFemales are more sensitive than males to both the acute and prolonged effects of psychomotor stimulants. In females, this is regulated by oestradiol, which enhances dopamine release in the dorsal striatum. In this study, we tested the acute effect of oestradiol on dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell after cocaine administration and investigated which oestradiol receptors (ERs) contribute to sex differences in the response to cocaine.Experimental ApproachThe ability of oestradiol benzoate (EB) to acutely modulate the effect of cocaine on phasic dopamine release in the NAc shell was measured by fast‐scan cyclic voltammetry in anaesthetized male and female rats. The roles of ER subtypes, ERα and ERβ, was determined with selective agonists.Key ResultsEB acutely enhanced the effect of cocaine on stimulated dopamine release from the NAc shell in females but not in male rats only at levels of stimulation expected to optimally saturate dopamine transporters. Enhanced dopamine release after cocaine administration was also observed in females after selective activation of ERβ but not ERα. EB attenuated the effect of cocaine on NAc shell dopamine reuptake in males but not in females.Conclusions and ImplicationsOestradiol acutely and rapidly regulates dopamine release in females and dopamine reuptake in males. In females, oestradiol rapidly enhances the effect of cocaine on dopamine release, likely via activation of ERβ. The effect of oestradiol in males is not seen with selective receptor subtype activation, a topic deserving of further study.LINKED ARTICLESThis article is part of a themed section on The Importance of Sex Differences in Pharmacology Research.

Published: November 2018

ObjectivesWe examined the cross‐sectional association of sleep apnea and indices of sleep quality with both episodic migraine (EM) and chronic migraine (CM).BackgroundSleep apnea and abnormal patterns of sleep, such as insomnia, were associated with migraine onset, severity, and progression in previous research.MethodsThe Chronic Migraine Epidemiology & Outcomes Study, a longitudinal study, used a series of web‐based surveys to assess migraine symptoms, burden, and patterns of health care utilization. Quota sampling was used from September 2012 to November 2013 to generate a representative sample of the US population. Persons who screened positive for sleep apnea on the Berlin Questionnaire are said to be at “high risk” for sleep apnea. Respondents indicated if they believed that they had sleep apnea, if a physician had diagnosed it, and if and how they were treated. Other aspects of sleep quality were assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Measures.ResultsOf 12,810 eligible respondents with migraine and data on sleep, 11,699 with EM (91.3%) and 1111 with CM (8.7%) provided valid data for this analyses. According to the Berlin Questionnaire, 4739/12,810 (37.0%) were at “high risk” for sleep apnea, particularly persons with CM vs EM (575/1111 [51.8%] vs 4164/11,699 [35.6%]), men vs women (1431/3220 [44.4%] vs 3308/9590 [34.5%]), people with higher body mass index, and older people (all P < .001). Among respondents to the MOS Sleep Measures, persons with CM were more likely to report poor sleep quality than those with EM, including sleep disturbance (mean [SD] values: 53.2 [26.9] vs 37.9 [24.3]), snoring (38.0 [33.9] vs 31.0 [32.1]), shortness of breath (34.9 [29.8] vs 15.3 [20.6]), somnolence (44.1 [23.4] vs 32.2 [21.2]), and less likely to report sleep adequacy (34.0 [24.2] vs 39.2 [22.1]).ConclusionsCompared with respondents with EM, a larger proportion of those with CM were at “high risk” for sleep apnea and reported poor sleep quality. This reflects an association between CM vs EM and sleep apnea and poor sleep quality; the potential relationships are discussed.

Published: November 2018

BackgroundNeurobartonellosis occurs in people. The role these organisms might play in inflammatory brain disease of dogs is unclear.Hypothesis/ObjectivesThatBartonellaspp. DNA would be amplified more commonly from the CSF of dogs with inflammatory disease compared to those with noninflammatory disease. To report the prevalence ofBartonellaspp. in dogs with and without inflammatory CNS disease with a commercially available PCR assay.AnimalsCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 172 dogs from either Washington State University or Colorado State University.MethodsRetrospective study. A search was performed of all medical records from dogs with CSF samples submitted to CSU's Center for Companion Animal Studies or Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory from CSU or WSU forToxoplasmaorNeosporaPCR assay. Increased CSF nucleated cell counts and an adequate volume of CSF must have been present to evaluateBartonellaspp. by PCR assay.ResultsInflammatory CNS disease was confirmed in 65 dogs, none of which were positive forBartonellaspp. DNA. Of the other 107 dogs, one was positive forB. henselaeDNA. The CSF from this dog contained red blood cells.Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceFailure to amplifyBartonellaspp. DNA from the CSF of the dogs with inflammatory disease suggests the organism was not involved in the etiology of the disease, the organism was in the CNS tissues but not in the CSF, or the organism was present but in quantities undetectable by this PCR assay. The combination of PCR and culture is the most sensitive way to detectBartonellaspp. and the use of that technique should be considered in future studies.
