I know it when I see it: the nature of trust, trustworthiness signals, and strategic trust construction
Authors: Fawcett Stanley E. , Jin Yao Henry , Fawcett Amydee M. , Magnan Gregory 
Published: September 2017

PurposeTrust has long been viewed as a potential governance mechanism. However, recent research discloses substantive incongruities in trust conceptualization and operationalization – especially in the supply chain buyer/supplier context. The purpose of this paper is to develop an empirically grounded conceptualization of trust and to explore the trust-construction process.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used the communications rationality approach to elaborate a three-stage qualitative study of supply chain trust. The authors first monologically examine trust by interviewing managers from over 50 companies (as described). The list of trust behaviors are then dialogically refined through 11 focus studies comprised of over 250 managers into different trust dimensions (as agreed upon). Finally, the authors used two in-depth, dyadic case studies to examine the dynamic trust construction process (as witnessed).FindingsThe authors find divergence in the way academics define trust and the way companies operationalize trust. Missing in action is the notion of benevolence. In the supply chain setting, managers describe trust as consisting of credibility and relationship commitment. Companies use an iterative approach to signal trustworthiness. However, ambiguity increases the costs and decreases the effectiveness of proactive trust construction as a form of supply chain governance.Originality/valueThe authors specify and evaluate novel constructs used to signal trustworthiness and document why and how companies struggle to use the signaling process efficiently and effectively. For some, this is an issue of managerial commitment. For others, this represents a lack of understanding of trustworthiness signals and the trust-construction process. Ultimately, the authors develop a more robust conceptualization of inter-organizational trust and present a roadmap for proactive trust construction.
Determinants of banks liquidity: evidence from OIC countries
Authors: Al-Harbi Ahmad 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
Specifically, the purpose of this paper is to identify the key factors affecting banks’ liquidity in developing/less-developing countries.

Design/methodology/approach
In this paper, the author uses the ordinary least-square fixed effect model on an unbalanced panel data set of all conventional banks (686 banks) operating in the organization of Islamic cooperation countries over the period 1989-2008.

Findings
The estimation results show that all the determinants have statistically significant relationship with liquidity (except for concentration) but with different signs. On the one hand, capital ratio, foreign ownership, credit risk, inflation rate, monetary policy and deposit insurance negatively affected banks’ liquidity, while on the other hand, efficiency, size, off-balance sheet activities, market capitalization and concentration have a positive link with banks’ liquidity.

Originality/value
According to the best of author’s knowledge, this is the first empirical study to investigate the determinants of banks liquidity in developing/less-developing countries using a large sample of banks (686 banks) and for long period (19 years).
FDI outflows, exports and financial development
Authors: Zhao Long , Liu Zuanshi , Wei William , Andreosso-O’Callaghan Bernadette 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to argue that financial development, measured by private credit in the economy, affects exports in an inverted U-shaped manner. The authors use the new trade theory model and empirical data to analyze whether the financial system is the reason of global imbalance.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper builds a simple production model to connect financial development with a country’s export or outward foreign direct investment (ODI) decision. Using a panel data covering 108 countries for the period 1990-2011, the authors find strong evidence to show that when a country is at a lower financial development level, further advancements of its financial system will boost exports.

Findings
First, an inverted U-shaped relationship between exports, imports and financial development is found in the study of 108 countries over the period 1990-2011; second, ODI provides a substitute effect to exports for financially advanced countries. These findings have provided an alternative explanation to international trade imbalances and contribute constructively to the discussion regarding whether exports and financial development are positively related or not.

Originality/value
As a result, the findings shed some light on the issue of global current account imbalances between developing and developed countries from a new perspective.
Have electronic benefits cards improved food access for food stamp recipients?
Authors: Lovett Nicholas , Xue Yuhan 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card reforms in California’s Food Stamp Program, and its impact on food insecurity.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors test the hypothesis that EBT cards reduce food insecurity by reducing the food costs associated with loss and theft of benefits, as well as by decreasing fraudulent sales of benefits. The authors use a natural experiment in the form of the time-varying roll-out of EBT card reforms across California counties in conjunction with the California Health Interview Survey, to conduct an event study.

Findings
The findings suggest no evidence for a decrease in food insecurity. The authors do, however, find evidence of a transitory increase in food insecurity immediately following implementation of EBT reforms. Reforms increase the likelihood of food insecurity by about 3 percent for up to two months. The result is distinguishable from zero, and robust to changes in specification, inclusion of controls, and measurement choices. The authors posit the increase was due to frictions in the transition to EBT card systems.

Originality/value
Although a considerable literature with regard to the FSP exists, very little has been written investigating a specific linkage between EBT cards and food security. The findings are not supportive of policy makers’ hypothesis that a positive externality of EBT benefits delivery is a lasting reduction in food insecurity.
Institutional quality and foreign direct investment inflows: evidence from Asian countries
Authors: Ullah Irfan , Khan Muhammad Arshad 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) by focusing on institutional and economic factors among South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) as well as Central Asian countries over the period 2002-2014.

Design/methodology/approach
The generalized method of moments technique is employed for analyzing the impact of institutional quality on FDI inflow by controlling for the effect of market size, domestic investment and labor force.

Findings
The authors found large variations in terms of the impact of institutional and economic variables in regards to FDI in the SAARC, Central Asian and ASEAN regions. The results reveal that real GDP, domestic investment and economic freedom index have a positive and significant effect on FDI inflows in the SAARC region, while governance index and labor force have a negative impact on FDI inflows. In Central Asia, the real GDP, domestic investment and governance index are positively associated with FDI inflows, whereas the effect of economic freedom index on FDI is negative as well as insignificant. Apart from the GDP, other variables such as labor force, domestic investment, governance and economic freedom indices influence FDI positively in the ASEAN region. It is worth mentioning here that domestic investment produces positive effect on FDI inflows in all the regions. On the whole, the authors may conclude that institutional factors play an important role in attracting FDI inflows in the ASEAN region as compared to Central Asian and SAARC regions.

Originality/value
A limited research work is available that could help in identifying the role of institutional and economic factors simultaneously in attracting FDI in the SAARC, Central Asian and ASEAN regions.
Recovery Colleges – safe, stimulating and empowering
Authors: Windsor Laurie , Roberts Glenn , Dieppe Paul 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
Recovery Colleges could deliver many of the defined key outcomes within the Cross Governmental Mental Health Outcomes Framework “no health without mental health” (Department of Health, 2011). The purpose of this paper is to critically appraise the existing evidence of recovery educational programmes in mental health and gain a deeper understanding of the processes and outcomes involved.

Design/methodology/approach
A broad search strategy looking at recovery educational programmes in mental health was used. The data were gathered from two focus groups each containing five people, one with facilitators and one with students. Thematic analysis was used, following the six stages, recursive process recommended by Braun and Clarke (2006).

Findings
The main processes described in recovery programmes were co-production and education. The main outcomes were that recovery programmes led to a reduction in the use of health services, increased opportunities for future employment and a positive impact on staff. The process themes that appeared to emerge were the College ethos and principles, co-production, safety, empowerment and stimulation. The outcome themes that appeared to emerge included increased confidence, motivation and social interaction.

Originality/value
Recovery Colleges appear to benefit both facilitators and students by co-production of a safe, stimulating environment which empowers them: participating in the college benefits facilitators as well as students. This paper is of value to those interested in recovery and education within mental health.
Mental health, family orientation, and individualism: a systematic review and meta-analysis in Iranian students
Authors: Mostafavi Hakimeh , Ziloochi Mohammad Hossein , Delavari Sajad , Rezaei Satar , Homaie Rad Enayatollah 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
Mental health is one of the most important factors for evaluating the health of different age groups in the community. The most common forms of mental health disorders are depression and anxiety. Health status of students as an important age group has positive consequences in the community. To provide special recommendations for preventing mental disorders, the purpose of this paper is to determine the correlations among the individualism and family orientation and mental health.

Design/methodology/approach
A meta-analysis was conducted to find scores of mental health. International databases of Scopus and PubMed as well as Iranian databases of IranMedex and SID were systematically searched in September 2014 for studies conducted on Iranian students. Of 379 reviewed studies, 58 were selected for meta-analysis. A meta-regression model was estimated to show the effects of individualism and family orientation on mental health.

Findings
Eight studies were conducted in Tehran. Eight studies were published in English. In nine studies, school students, and in one study both school and university students were surveyed. General Health Questionnaire-28 score varied from 13.77 in Arak to 47.78 in Tehran. The results of this study showed that the pooled mental health score for Iranian students was 23.725, indicating that Iranian students had poor mental health. In meta-regression, the coefficient of family orientation was −0.2893 and it was significant. Other variables did not have any significant relationship with mental health scores.

Originality/value
Improvement of living conditions and enabling the youth to positively communicate with different social groups are recommended.
Jana Rozenhalova in conversation with Jerome Carson
Authors: Rozenhalova Jana , Carson Jerome 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a profile of Jana Rozenhalova.

Design/methodology/approach
Jana provides a short summary of her life and is then interviewed by Jerome.

Findings
Jana tells us about her long struggles with eating disorders and provides us with the metaphor that it is like being a broken cup glued back together again. You have to be very careful it does not break again.

Research limitations/implications
Jana’s story is one, yet it offers us unique insights. She comments at one point, “[…] if it was not for the eating disorders […] I would not be me”.

Practical implications
Jana notes that while she could see many reasons behind her eating disorders, they did not really matter. What mattered was that she could overcome them.

Social implications
While Jana first thought hope was an empty word, she now realises in retrospect that she was more hopeful than anyone she knew. As Patricia Deegan (1996) puts it, “Hope is not just a nice sounding euphemism. Hope and biological life are inextricably intertwined” (p. 93).

Originality/value
Jana concludes her account saying she would like to be able to look back at her life and feel that she had lived up to her potential. Most of us would also be happy with that outcome.
m-WOM in a brand’s Facebook fan page
Authors: Sanz-Blas Silvia , Bigné Enrique , Buzova Daniela 
Published: September 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of the following variables: brand fan page dependency; parasocial interaction; attitude towards brand fan pages in enhancing users’ participation in Facebook as a mobile social network (m-WOM).Design/methodology/approachAn empirical study was carried out by means of online interviews with structured questionnaires. To analyse the data, and estimate the hypothesised relationships in the theoretical model, the partial least squares equation modelling was used.FindingsThe results of the study indicate that accessing brands’ mobile Facebook fan pages can satisfy the needs of understanding, orientation and play. These needs, in turn, influence users’ attitude, as well as their active and passive participation. Besides, users’ active participation in brands’ fan pages is enhanced by the direct and positive influence of attitude and passive participation.Practical implicationsThis research enables brands to know which aspects to highlight in their communication strategies in order to increase the user’s active participation and generate m-WOM. Brands need to post information which is not only relevant, but also entertaining and visually attractive. Furthermore, they should foster the user-brand interaction to achieve users’ engagement with the brand.Originality/valueThe contribution of the present research is threefold. First, it offers a new perspective in explaining eWOM participation in mobile settings based on social networks. Second, it is argued that dependency is a key driver in explaining m-WOM. Lastly, integrating parasocial integration in the authors’ model highlights the communication nature of the word-of-mouth process.
Engaging with a healthy tourism “offer”: strategies to improve place perceptions
Authors: Wall Stacy , Hemingway Ann , Curtin Susanna 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore how engagement with a healthy tourism “offer” could improve place perceptions through the development of collaborative strategies to promote a well-being destination.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper takes a constructivist grounded theory approach drawing on semi-structured interviews conducted with local members of the council from public health and tourism teams, in a seaside town in the South of England.

Findings
Study findings indicate that the historical roots of the town’s creation have a bearing on the current planning challenges and strategies. Findings confirm that collaborative strategies to engage with a healthy tourism “offer” will improve place perceptions and promote a well-being destination.

Research limitations/implications
This paper concludes that strategies to engage with a healthy tourism offer include interventions to curb alcohol consumption, regenerate areas and promote eudaemonic well-being – which could ultimately improve place perceptions.

Originality/value
This paper proposes that the development of strategic alliances bridged through the construct of well-being could improve place perceptions and promote a well-being destination.
The Relationship between Animal Welfare and Economic Performance at Farm Level: A Quantitative Study of Danish Pig Producers
Authors: Henningsen Arne , Czekaj Tomasz Gerard , Forkman Björn , Lund Mogens , Nielsen Aske Schou 
Published: September 2017

AbstractWe propose a theoretical framework for the relationship between animal welfare and the economic performance of livestock farms. We empirically analyse this relationship based on a unique dataset of randomly sampled Danish pig herds that includes information from unannounced inspections of the compliance with the animal welfare legislation. We find large variations in economic performance and animal welfare. The relationship between these two indicators is rather weak, but tends to be slightly positive. A possible explanation for our results is that management has a major influence on both economic performance and animal welfare so that good farm managers are able to meet all animal welfare regulations, while achieving a high economic performance.
Going from the ME to the WE: A Long Journey to Where You Are
Authors: Blumenkrantz David G. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractWhat if individual psychology took another path than the one guided by the idea of the “Sturm und Drang” of adolescence? What if this path less‐traveled led to community‐oriented rites of passage that satisfied youth's deep craving for the ancestral wisdom of the Universe … and simultaneously affirmed that parents, too, would continue to grow and contribute as they transited mid‐life? This article brings the reader down the path less‐traveled to explore navigational aids for future travelers and provides an example of the explosion of community engagement and creativity that can occur when the transitions of adolescence and mid‐life, traditionally viewed as crises, become opportunities and assets for fostering individual health and community resiliency, adaptation, and well‐being through community‐oriented rites of passage.
Spirit Poem
Authors: Tarabilda Michael 
Published: September 2017

AbstractWine is realized as both sacred and profane in spiritual awareness, especially in its ability to intoxicate in both dimensions. In prayer, the profane is always reaching out to the sacred. Knowing the profane, sometimes to our discouragement, we yearn for the sacred, even to accepting the slight coloring (“bruise”) on the tongue that splits the grape without crushing it, allowing the taste a freshness allied with prayer's ability to reintoxicate the soul, after life has come to feel stale and habitual in its pursuits.
Surgery for constipation: systematic review and practice recommendations
Authors: Knowles C. H. , Grossi U. , Chapman M. , Mason J. ,   the NIHR CapaCiTY working group,   Pelvic floor Society
Published: September 2017

AbstractAimTo assess the outcomes of colectomy in adults with chronic constipation (CC).MethodStandardised methods and reporting of benefits and harms were used for all CapaCiTY reviews that closely adhered to PRISMA 2016 guidance. Main conclusions were presented as summary evidence statements (SES) with a summative Oxford Centre for Evidence‐Based Medicine (2009) level.ResultsForty articles were identified, providing data on outcomes in 2045 patients. Evidence was derived almost exclusively from observational studies, the majority of which concerned colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis (CIRA) rather than other procedural variations. Average length of stay (LOS) ranged between 7–15 days. Although inconsistent, laparoscopic surgery may be associated with longer mean operating times (210 vs 167 min) and modest decreases in LOS (10–8 days). Complications occurred in approximately 24% of patients. Six (0.4%) procedure‐related deaths were observed. Recurrent episodes of small bowel obstruction occurred in about 15% (95%CI: 10–21%) of patients in the long‐term, with significant burden of re‐hospitalisation and frequent recourse to surgery. Most patients reported a satisfactory or good outcome after colectomy but negative long‐term functional outcomes persist in a minority of patients. The influence of resection extent, anastomotic configuration and method of access on complication rates remains uncertain. Available evidence weakly supports selection of patients with an isolated slow‐transit phenotype.ConclusionColectomy for CC may benefit some patients but at the cost of substantial short‐ and long‐term morbidity. Current evidence is insufficient to guide patient or procedural selection.

AbstractBackgroundLong non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate a variety of genes and biological processes. Lnc‐IL7R plays a considerable role in the regulation of inflammation, but its prognostic potential in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has not been fully explained. In this study, the role of lnc‐IL7R as a potential biomarker in ARDS was examined.ObjectiveRole of lnc‐IL7R as potential biomarker in ARDS.MethodsLncRNA‐IL7R was isolated from the plasma of patients with ARDS and healthy controls and clinical indexes were obtained within 24 h after admission. The relative expression of lnc‐IL7R was obtained by quantitative real‐time PCR. The correlations between lnc‐IL7R and continuous variables in ARDS were tested using Spearman's coefficients.ResultsA total of 85 ARDS patients and 49 healthy controls were included. Plasma lnc‐IL7R was significantly down‐regulated in ARDS compared with the levels in healthy control individuals, especially in severe ARDS (P < .01). The area under the curve (AUC) of lnc‐IL7R for ARDS diagnosis was 0.87 (sensitivity 75.3%, specificity 93.9%). The lnc‐IL7R levels were correlated with the severity of ARDS (ρ = −0.31, P = .0215), oxygenation index (ρ = 0.61, P < .001), APACHE II score (ρ = −0.04, P = .0230), CRP (ρ = −0.26, P = .0148) and WBC (ρ = −0.29, P = .0064). Lnc‐IL7R relative value ≥ 0.33 showed the lower 28‐day mortality in the patients with ARDS(P < .05).The survivors showed higher lnc‐IL7R level and lower APACHE II score, SOFA score and length of mechanical ventilation than in the non‐survivors (P = .0109, P < .001, P < .001 and P = .017, respectively).ConclusionsLnc‐IL7R is a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of ARDS and predicts the severity of ARDS and 28‐day mortality in this patients cohort.Trial registrationThe study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR‐DOD‐16008657).
Six caractéristiques du marché du travail chinois: une analyse documentaire
Authors: SONG Yang 
Published: September 2017

RésuméLes auteurs s'intéressent à six grandes caractéristiques du marché du travail chinois: la privatisation et l'urbanisation de l'emploi; la hausse des salaires et des inégalités de revenu; la persistance du système du hukou et la pénurie de main‐d'œuvre qui s'ensuit dans les villes; une structure des salaires davantage axée sur le marché, mais segmentée selon le régime de propriété de l'entreprise; un chômage plutôt limité et des institutions du marché de l'emploi relativement peu influentes (salaire minimum et syndicats notamment). Cette analyse approfondie doit faciliter la définition de modèles théoriques et d'outils d'analyse des politiques mieux adaptés et spécifiques à la Chine.
