Climate change-related non-economic loss and damage in Bangladesh and Japan
Authors: Chiba Yohei , Shaw Rajib , Prabhakar Sivapuram 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
This paper aims to assess climate change-related non-economic loss and damage (NELD) through case studies of Bangladesh and Japan, evaluate how NELD are addressed in these countries and provide the ways forward for further improvement.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper reviewed the literature to examine NELD and looked into currently available methodologies and their limitations. It reviewed governmental disaster reports and plans and interviewed with communities to understand NELD in each country’s context.

Findings
This paper indicates that NELDs are not sufficiently reported in the countries studied. Underestimation of NELD may lead to limited outcomes in disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA). NELD should be measured and integrated into decision-making, through capacity-building from local to national level.

Research limitations/implications
This paper is based on the literature review and stakeholder consultations in the study countries. The results are specific to these countries. Readers may find them applicable to other country situations.

Practical implications
NELD-related information is directly relevant for preparing countries to achieve their sustainable development, CCA and DRR objectives as suggested by the recent international frameworks such as sustainable development goals (SDGs), Paris Agreement and Sendai Framework for DRR.

Social implications
This paper identifies several NELD indicators related to societal well-being in the study countries and beyond, and addressing them will have positive impact on the society.

Originality/value
Addressing NELD is a recent topic under United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and nothing much has been done on how countries can address NELD in their developmental, CCA and DRR approaches. This paper identifies the importance of integrating NELD into decision-making and the ways forward to researchers, governments and policymakers for addressing NELD.
House price overvaluation in Hong Kong
Authors: Arestis Philip , Gonzalez-Martinez Ana Rosa , Jia Lu-kui 
Published: March 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the authors investigate the main drivers of house prices in the Hong Kong housing market. Second, further research is undertaken to confirm the existence of house price overvaluation, which has driven the market into a bubble episode.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the authors propose a theoretical framework to identify the fundamentals of the market. In the second step, they decompose house prices into fundamentals, frictions and bubble episodes for a better understanding of the evolution of house prices during the period 1996(Q3)-2013(Q3).FindingsThe results of this paper suggest an eventual possible correction of up to 46 per cent of house prices with respect to their 2013(Q3) level.Originality/valueThe originality of this paper is to use the procedure developed by Glindro and Delloro (2010) to analyse the Hong Kong housing market. The contribution of this paper also modifies the original Glindro and Delloro’s (2010) approach by including the Christiano and Fitzgerald (2003) filter to decompose house prices.
Institutional investors, monitoring and corporate finance policies
Authors: Cleary W. Sean , Wang Jun 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of institutional investors’ investment horizons (IIIH) on a wide variety of key corporate policies.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors perform regression analysis to a panel data set of quarterly financial statement data for US firms over the 1981-2014 using several measures of IIIH.

Findings
The authors argue that an increase in the presence of long-term investors contributes to more effective monitoring and information quality. This results in a reduction in agency costs and informational asymmetry problems for firms that are more heavily influenced by long-term investors, which in turn influences the corporate policies they pursue. Consistent with these arguments, the evidence suggests that firms with a greater long-term institutional investor base maintain lower investment outlays, higher dividend payments, lower levels of cash and higher levels of leverage. All results hold after controlling for potential endogeneity issues.

Originality/value
The authors show that a greater presence of long-term institutional investors leads to higher dividends, lower investment outlays, lower cash holdings and higher leverage. The comprehensive nature of the predictions with respect to overall corporate finance policies and the supporting evidence provided represents an important contribution, as previous studies have tended to focus on one specific area of corporate behavior (i.e. such as cash holdings).
Research on capital structure determinants: a review and future directions
Authors: Kumar Satish , Colombage Sisira , Rao Purnima 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to study the status of studies on capital structure determinants in the past 40 years. This paper highlights the major gaps in the literature on determinants of capital structure and also aims to raise specific questions for future research.

Design/methodology/approach
The prominence of research is assessed by studying the year of publication and region, level of economic development, firm size, data collection methods, data analysis techniques and theoretical models of capital structure from the selected papers. The review is based on 167 papers published from 1972 to 2013 in various peer-reviewed journals. The relationship of determinants of capital structure is analyzed with the help of meta-analysis.

Findings
Major findings show an increase of interest in research on determinants of capital structure of the firms located in emerging markets. However, it is observed that these regions are still under-examined which provides more scope for research both empirical and survey-based studies. Majority of research studies are conducted on large-sized firms by using secondary data and regression-based models for the analysis, whereas studies on small-sized firms are very meager. As majority of the research papers are written only at the organizational level, the impact of leverage on various industries is yet to be examined. The review highlights the major determinants of capital structure and their relationship with leverage. It also reveals the dominance of pecking order theory in explaining capital structure of firms theoretically as well as statistically.

Originality/value
The paper covers a considerable period of time (1972-2013). Among very few review papers on capital structure research, to the best of authors’ knowledge; this is the first review to identify what is missing in the literature on the determinants of capital structure while offering recommendations for future studies. It also synthesize the findings of empirical studies on determinants of capital structure statistically.
Coming home to the arts: theatre with military veterans and families
Authors: O’Connor Alison 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
A significant number of military veterans and family members are living with post-traumatic stress, unmet mental health needs and isolation. There is growing interest in the potential of theatre and the expressive arts as a positive intervention with this population. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Coming Home programme which aims to create opportunities for military veterans and families to develop an ongoing engagement with the arts and through that engagement to access new ways of regulating and expressing complex emotions.

Design/methodology/approach
This case study shares reflections from Re-Live’s current theatre programme, Coming Home. The programme methodology uses reflective writing, theatre and choral singing to develop participants wellbeing and reduce isolation.

Findings
Initial feedback suggests that this programme has significant potential as a way of reconnecting veterans and families with their community and improving their wellbeing. The emotional release of group singing and performing together has been powerful. Participants report that the Coming Home programme is connecting them with parts of themselves they thought had gone forever: humour, spontaneity, fun – and having a positive impact on their wellbeing.

Originality/value
This case study contributes to the literature from the exciting and emerging field of the use of the creative arts with military veterans and families.
“Have you heard the one about…” using comedy to tackle mental health-related stigma with UK military personnel?
Authors: Twardzicki Maya , Jones Norman 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide first-hand reflections from a public mental health specialist, on developing an innovative comedy-based arts and health project that engaged with UK military personnel.

Design/methodology/approach
Project partners included the Academic Department of Military Mental Health at King’s College London and Army Headquarters. The project used a repeat measures design. The intervention group (IG) received a mental health-focussed comedy show and the control group received a standard comedy show. Serving Armed Forces personnel participated in focus groups to inform show scripts, which also contained key mental health messages agreed by the project team. Evaluation questionnaires were given out before and after the show and three months later.

Findings
The comedy show format proved to be an acceptable/popular way to present mental health-related messages. Post-show there was a statistically significant reduction in mental health stigmatisation and significantly better mental health and stigma-related knowledge in the IG.

Research limitations/implications
Due to deployment, follow-up participation was limited, reducing the ability to assess whether the effects were durable.

Practical implications
The challenges of working with serving personnel are outlined and some recommendations made to improve future comedy interventions/research with this group.

Originality/value
This study provides a thorough evaluation of an arts and health intervention using a comprehensive survey methodology.
A sense of betrayal
Authors: Stewart Mo 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
No civilian has any comprehension of life in British military forces, or the impact of the removal of that life when unexpectedly returned to “Civvy Street” following the onset of a permanent illness or profound disability, with the gradual realisation that support in the civilian world means that a disabled veteran is just one of a crowd. The paper aims to discuss this issue.

Design/methodology/approach
Participant observation.

Findings
Welfare reforms together with austerity measures introduced by the British government are causing preventable harm to the most vulnerable in society.

Research limitations/implications
This paper was written by invitation and is limited by word length.

Practical implications
Older working-age disabled veterans are being abandoned by the state and suffer due to a change in government social policy.

Social implications
Disregarding the suffering and preventable harm created in society by the ongoing welfare reforms will have consequences that will need to be addressed as a matter of urgency, as the often tragic consequences are eventually alerted to the public.

Originality/value
A demonstration that the older working-age disabled veterans are being harmed by welfare reforms and the armed forces covenant has been breached.
Military veterans’ experiences of NHS mental health services
Authors: Fraser Edward 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
A significant minority of veterans have poor mental health outcomes but their needs are not always well managed by the NHS. The purpose of this paper is to explore veterans’ experiences of NHS mental healthcare in Norfolk and Suffolk to identify ways of improving services.

Design/methodology/approach
Interviews were conducted with 30 veterans. Template analysis was undertaken to explore key themes in the interview transcripts.

Findings
Participants were reluctant to seek help but were more likely to engage with a veteran-specific service. Those whose symptoms were military related reported better experiences when accessing treatment that was military sensitive.

Research limitations/implications
This was a local study and the findings do not necessarily reflect the views of the wider veteran community. Most participants who received military sensitive treatment were referred to the study by NHS providers, which could account for their positive feedback.

Social implications
The development of dedicated mental health services may encourage more veterans to seek support, helping to improve patient outcomes. There is a need for further research to determine the effectiveness of dedicated services and identify how they should be deployed.

Originality/value
Where academic interest has generally centred on the aetiology of mental health conditions within the military, this study focussed upon service user experience. The findings contributed to NHS England’s recent decision to extend its network of dedicated services in 12 areas of the country to cover veterans across England from April 2017.
Use and correlates of VHA tobacco cessation counseling services by veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder
Authors: Kelly Megan , Wang Shihwe , Rosenheck Robert 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have high lifetime rates of smoking and often have substantial difficulty quitting. However, relatively little research has focussed on the use of Veterans Health Administration (VHA) intensive tobacco cessation counseling services by veterans with PTSD and the characteristics of veterans with PTSD who do and do not use these services. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach
The present study is an analysis of national VHA administrative data fiscal year 2012 that identified utilization rates of VHA intensive tobacco cessation counseling among veterans with diagnoses of both PTSD and tobacco use disorder (TUD) (N=144,990) and the correlates of tobacco cessation counseling use.

Findings
Altogether, 7,921 veterans with PTSD diagnosed with TUD used VHA tobacco cessation services (5.5 percent). Veterans with PTSD who used tobacco cessation counseling services were more likely to have been homeless, to have a comorbid drug use disorder, and had used other VHA services more frequently than their counterparts who did not access tobacco cessation counseling. The use of outpatient mental health and substance use services was the strongest correlate of tobacco cessation counseling use by veterans in this sample. Notably, veterans with PTSD, TUD and HIV were more likely to engage in tobacco cessation services.

Originality/value
This study demonstrates that future efforts should focus on increasing provider and veteran awareness of and accessibility to VHA intensive tobacco cessation counseling for veterans with PTSD.
What drives smartwatch adoption intention? Comparing Apple and non-Apple watches
Authors: Hsiao Kuo-Lun 
Published: March 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this study is twofold. First, an integrated model will be developed based on task-technology fit, innovation diffusion theory and the new product adoption model in order to explore the factors that affect smartwatch adoption. Second, the differences in the factors that affect users’ intention to adopt the Apple Watch and other smartwatches will be examined.Design/methodology/approachThe data for this study were collected via an online survey questionnaire. The responses of 341 potential adopters of smartwatches were used to test the hypotheses in the research model. The casual model was assessed using partial least squares techniques.FindingsThe model can account for more than 50 percent of the variance in adoption intention. The research results affirm prior findings that perceived product attributes have relatively strong influence on adoption intention. Among these attributes, relative advantage has the strongest effect. Moreover, this study revealed differences between the antecedents of Apple watches and those of non-Apple watches.Practical implicationsThe insights provided by this study can help smartwatch providers formulate better growth strategies. The findings also provide some directions for further development.Originality/valueThis study provides a better understanding of how the factors in the theories influence the adoption intentions of Apple watches and non-Apple watches.
Library technology in the next 20 years
Authors: Buckland Michael Keeble 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the agenda for library technology for the next 20 years.

Design/methodology/approach
A long-term historically based analysis of the evolving roles of librarians and library technology, especially the catalog.

Findings
The rise of standardized cataloging codes, communications formats, bibliographical utilities, and software for online searching constitutes a great triumph in universal bibliographical access for everybody. But each reader is unique and no-one is “everybody” so a uniform service is not ideal for all. The ideal librarian knows both the collection and the readers. The catalog is a guide to the collection and a surrogate for the librarian. The librarian understands the readers. The development of library technology will remain significantly incomplete until the uniqueness of each reader is accommodated. Some ways to do that are noted.

Research limitations/implications
Research and development should focus on relating the uniqueness of individuals to the uniformity of services provided.

Practical implications
Strategic directions are indicated.

Originality/value
Provides a perspective on the development of library service in terms of changing relationships between technology and librarians.
Back plate electroplating for high aspect ratio processes
Authors: Marasso Simone Luigi , Benetto Simone , Para Isabella , Ottone Chiara , Mombello Domenico , Perrone Denis , Ferrero Sergio , Scaltrito Luciano , Pugliese Diego , Cocuzza Matteo , Pirri Fabrizio Candido 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
In this process the electrical contact is brought to the backside of a standard silicon wafer. The details of the entire process are disclosed, from the photolithography processes to the electrodepositing step, and a model for electrical contact was designed.

Design/methodology/approach
The localized Cu growth of high aspect ratio (AR) microstructures was obtained through an SU-8 photolithography by exploiting the optimal adhesion on the silicon surface and the possibility of generating thick layers with a single spun process

Findings
The experimental results showed an unexpected behaviour that is theoretically explained in detail considering the energy band theory. The obtained geometries showed a remarkable 6:1 AR without any adhesion problem. The non-invasive front-side manipulation represents a noteworthy improvement and simplification for the design of a multi-step production process.

Originality/value
An alternative technological approach, called back plate electroplating, has been carried out to obtain Cu growth on the front side of a standard n-type Si wafer through a back side electrical contact. This technique was then applied to fabricate a master for hot-embossing in a LIGA (Lithographie, Galvanoformung, Abformung)-like process flow. For this purpose, an SU-8 thick mask on a standard n-doped wafer was used. Finally, by using this process, it was possible to obtain high AR Cu geometries, avoiding any complex designing and patterning of the contacts on the front side and thus ensuring good adhesion of the SU-8.
Impedance-based non-destructive evaluation of additively manufactured parts
Authors: Albakri Mohammad I. , Sturm Logan D. , Williams Christopher B. , Tarazaga Pablo A. 
Published: March 2017

Purpose
This work proposes the utilization of electromechanical impedance measurements as a means of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) for additive manufacturing (AM). The effectiveness and sensitivity of the technique for a variety of defect types commonly encountered in AM are investigated.

Design/methodology/approach
To evaluate the feasibility of impedance-based NDE for AM, the authors first designed and fabricated a suite of test specimens with build errors typical of AM processes, including dimensional inaccuracies, positional inaccuracies and internal porosity. Two polymer AM processes were investigated in this work: material jetting and extrusion. An impedance-based analysis was then conducted on all parts and utilized, in a supervised learning context, for identifying defective parts.

Findings
The newly proposed impedance-based NDE technique has been proven to be an effective solution for detecting several types of print defects. Specifically, it was shown that the technique is capable of detecting print defects resulting in mass change (as small as 1 per cent) and in feature displacement (as small as 1 mm) in both extruded nylon parts and jetted VeroWhitePlus parts. Internal porosity defects were also found to be detectable; however, the impact of this defect type on the measured impedance was not as profound as that of dimensional and positional inaccuracies.

Originality/value
Compared to currently available NDE techniques, the newly proposed impedance-based NDE is a functional-based technique with the advantages of being cost-effective, sensitive and suitable for inspecting AM parts of complex geometry and deeply embedded flaws. This technique has the potential to bridge the existing gaps in current NDE practices, hence paving the road for a wider adoption of AM to produce mission-critical parts.
Current state and potential of additive – hybrid manufacturing for metal parts
Authors: Strong Danielle , Sirichakwal Issariya , Manogharan Guha P. , Wakefield Thomas 
Published: March 2017

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the extent to which traditional manufacturers are equipped and interested in participating in a hybrid manufacturing system which integrates traditional processes such as machining and grinding with additive manufacturing (AM) processes.Design/methodology/approachA survey was conducted among traditional metal manufacturers to collect data and evaluate the ability of these manufacturers to provide hybrid – AM post-processing services in addition to their standard product offering (e.g. mass production).FindingsThe original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) surveyed have machine availability and an interest in adopting hybrid manufacturing to additionally offer post-processing services. Low volume parts which would be suitable for hybrid manufacturing are generally more profitable. Access to metal AM, process engineering time, tooling requirements and the need for quality control tools were equally identified as the major challenges for OEM participation in this evolving supply chain.Practical implicationsOEMs can use this research to determine if hybrid manufacturing is a possible fit for their industry using existing machine tools.Originality/valueSurvey data offer an unique insight into the readiness of metal manufacturers who play an integral role in the evolving hybrid supply chain ecosystem required for post-processing of AM metal parts. This study also suggests that establishing metal AM centers around OEMs as a shared resource to produce near-net AM parts would be beneficial.
