Authors: DiPietro Robin 
Published: April 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a review of the foodservice and restaurant literature that has been published over the past 10 years in the top hospitality and tourism journals. This information will be used to identify the key trends and topics studied over the past decade, and help to identify the gaps that appear in the research to identify opportunities for advancing future research in the area of foodservice and restaurant management.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper takes the form of a critical review of the extant literature that has been done in the foodservice and restaurant industries. Literature from the past 10 years will be qualitatively assessed to determine trends and gaps in the research to help guide the direction for future research.

Findings
The findings show that the past 10 years have seen an increase in the number of and the quality of foodservice and restaurant management research articles. The topics have been diverse and the findings have explored the changing and evolving segments of the foodservice industry, restaurant operations, service quality in foodservice, restaurant finance, foodservice marketing, food safety and healthfulness and the increased role of technology in the industry.

Research limitations/implications
Given the number of research papers done over the past 10 years in the area of foodservice, it is possible that some research has been missed and that some specific topics within the breadth and depth of the foodservice industry could have lacked sufficient coverage in this one paper. The implications from this paper are that it can be used to inform academics and practitioners where there is room for more research, it could provide ideas for more in-depth discussion of a specific topic and it is a detailed start into assessing the research done of late.

Housing preferences for affordable social housing projects in Guayaquil, Ecuador
Authors: Delgado Alina , De Troyer Frank 
Published: April 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe the principles of a conceptual model to help developers and housing users achieve their expectations regarding quality, affordability and reasonable profits. Based on the identification of housing user’s preferences extracted from the survey, data are incorporated into model simulations considering budget restrictions for developers as well as for housing users.Design/methodology/approachThe models’ development was based on fieldwork in Guayaquil, Ecuador, using a method that includes housing users’ preferences. Developed through a “methodological pluralism”, this study identifies people-oriented variables and assumptions. Thus, a more integrated approach is proposed, crossing and covering the fields of different disciplines.FindingsThe study concludes with findings regarding the identification of the most preferred attributes of housing users and the proposal of an alternative method to incorporate quality into model simulations for estimating housing market prices. Through optimizations, it is found that the optimal number of housing units per housing types in urban projects, which translates into more reasonable profits for the developers and the provision of better and more affordable houses for the users.Research limitations/implicationsA more complete assessment of the principles described in this paper will require a larger timeframe and location of application.Practical implicationsThe identification of the most preferred attributes of housing users and the inclusion in a conceptual simulation model would help private and public developers to provide better and more affordable houses for users as well as to attain reasonable profits. Further, housing national policy could also be influenced by model’s results.Social implicationsThe consideration of housing user’s preferences will entail an improvement of quality of life for social housing projects.Originality/valueThe study’s main original and novel contribution is the development of an approach for the inclusion of housing preferences into model simulations by using quality points and housing demand curves.
Culling the brand portfolio: brand deletion outcomes and success factors
Authors: Shah Purvi 
Published: April 2017

Purpose
It is difficult to ascertain the success factors and outcomes of deleting a brand, since these factors and outcomes differ by type of industries, firms, and brands, and vary based on contextual and organizational situations. Brand managers would benefit by having a guide explaining various factors that contribute to a successful brand deletion and providing measures of brand deletion success. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present a list of success factors and outcomes of brand deletion, which brand managers can adapt to their specific brand deletion context and which academic researchers can use to further investigate the systemic aspects of brand deletion.

Design/methodology/approach
This article adopts a conceptual viewpoint methodology.

Findings
If brand deletion leads to improvements in business performance represented by better customer relationship management, superior competitive position, and boosts in financial performance without degrading stakeholder relationships, it can be called a success. Various factors contribute to this success such as a proactive approach to brand deletion with the involvement of top management and cross-functional teams, timely implementation of the decision, considering the strategic role and importance of the brand to be deleted in the overall brand portfolio, and managing interests of all key stakeholders affected by and influencing brand deletion.

Originality/value
Marketing practitioners can use the guidelines provided in this article and adapt it to their individual idiosyncratic contexts during brand deletion decision-making and implementation. Researchers are encouraged to further investigate the phenomenon of brand deletion strategy and focus more research attention on developing strong empirical knowledge in this important yet under-researched field.
Self‐Organization and Urban Development: Disaggregating the City‐Region, Deconstructing Urbanity in Amsterdam
Authors: Savini Federico 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThe idea that cities are self‐organizing systems, and that the state has a limited capacity to control and shape them, has gained momentum in the last decade among planning professionals, designers and politicians. Recent political discourse on new localism and liberal individualism builds on a similar understanding of cities, giving responsibility to citizens and their collective associations in light of state rescaling. The consequences of such perspectives for urban development have yet to be conceptualized. This article proposes a critique of the use of self‐organization in policy practice, building on the argument that this concept destabilizes two constitutive categories of urban intervention: spatial boundaries and temporal programmes. In so doing, self‐organization conveys two peculiar understandings of agency in city‐regional spaces and of urbanity: the disaggregation of city‐regions and the deconstruction of urbanity. Looking at the recent change in Amsterdam's urban development practice, I show that, while self‐organization is used to emphasize that city‐regions constitute interconnected systems of dynamics, when applied in policymaking it in fact leads to the disaggregation and fragmentation of urban regions. Moreover, while the capacity of self‐organization to deconstruct codified notions of urbanity that frustrate urban relations is often celebrated, its use in policy produces newly exclusive urban fabrics.

AbstractPurposeTo assess the presence of outer and inner retinal folds (RFs) and drop‐out of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) occurring after surgical repair of macula‐off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with different postoperative posture and preoperative use of adjuvant perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCO).MethodsIn this prospective study, 56 eyes of 56 consecutive patients affected by RRD were subjected to 23‐ or 25‐gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). The patients were randomized in four groups (14 prone 5 hr without PFCO, 14 supine 5 hr without PFCO, 14 prone 5 hr with PFCO and 14 supine 5 hr with PFCO) and followed up with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD‐OCT).ResultsSpectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD‐OCT) was recorded before surgery, at days 30 and 90 to detect the presence of outer RFs, inner RFs and drop‐out of EZ and to follow their variation over time. No statistical significance was found in our groups for outer RFs, inner RFs, drop‐out of EZ formation and evolution. The postoperative best‐corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved in all groups (mean preoperative BCVA 1.47 logMar ± 0.19, mean postoperative BCVA 0.27 logMar ± 0.11, p < 0.01), without statistical variations between the four groups in BCVA after surgery.ConclusionThe use of adjuvant and variation in postoperative position did not change the risk of presenting outer RFs, inner RFs and drop‐out of EZ after RRD.

SummaryObjectiveAssociations between maternal glucose levels and increased foetal growth are well established, and independent relationships with maternal weight, weight gain and insulin resistance are also observed. The relative roles of lipolysis and glucose production in the determination of these observations remain unclear.DesignWe examined, through detailed physiological studies, the relationship between maternal late gestational energy substrate production (glucose and glycerol), maternal weight and weight gain, and estimated foetal size in the third trimester.PatientsTwenty‐one nulliparous pregnant women, without gestational diabetes (GDM) assessed at 28 weeks with oral glucose tolerance test, were recruited.MeasurementsRates of hepatic glucose production (GPR) and rates of glycerol production (reflecting lipolysis) using [13C6]‐glucose and [2H5]‐glycerol were measured at 34‐36 weeks of gestation. Respiratory quotient was assessed by indirect calorimetry and body composition by measurements of total body water (TBW; H218O) and body density (BODPOD). Foetal weight was estimated from ultrasound measures of biparietal diameter, femoral length and abdominal circumference.ResultsAt 34‐36 weeks, bivariate analyses showed that GPR and lipolysis correlated with estimated foetal weight (r=.71 and .72, respectively) as well as with maternal weight, fat mass and fat‐free mass, but not maternal weight gain. In multivariate analyses, rates of both glucose production (r=.42) and lipolysis (r=.47) were independently associated with foetal size explaining 63% of the variance.ConclusionsBoth maternal rates of lipolysis and hepatic glucose production in late gestation are strongly related to estimated foetal weight.

SummaryObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the association of urine clusterin/apolipoprotein J (Apo J) with the development and/or progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetes.Materials and MethodsA total of 159 type 2 diabetic patients and 20 nondiabetic subjects with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 were enrolled. The baseline values of urine clusterin and tubular damage markers were measured. The primary outcome was the annual decline rate in eGFR, and secondary outcomes were the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or greater and the persistence/progression of albuminuria. The median follow‐up duration of enrolled patients was 3.0 (1.0‐5.9) years.ResultsBaseline clusterin levels in urine were significantly increased in type 2 diabetic subjects compared with those of nondiabetic subjects. The levels of urine clusterin had a significant correlation with urine tubular damage markers. A positive correlation between the annual rate of decline in eGFR and urine clusterin after adjusting for clinical confounding factors was detected. Multivariate analysis further indicated that urine clusterin correlated with the development of CKD stage 3 or greater and persistence/progression of albuminuria. In type 2 diabetic subjects with albuminuria, urine clusterin remained associated with the annual decline rate in eGFR and the progression of CKD stage.ConclusionsUrine clusterin reflects tubular damage in the early stage of DKD. The increase in urine clusterin along with albuminuria could be an independent predictive marker for the progression of DKD in type 2 diabetes.
Does postexercise modelled capillary blood flow accurately reflect cardiovascular effects by different exercise intensities?

Published: April 2017

SummaryBlood flow (BF) in exercising muscles is an important factor for exercise capacity. Recently, a non‐invasive method to estimate capillary BF (Qcap) was introduced. Using this method, the Fick principle is re‐arranged by using relative differences in deoxygenated haemoglobin (ΔHHb) as a surrogate for arteriovenous O2 difference and pulmonary oxygen uptake (VO2) instead of muscular oxygen uptake. The aim of this study was to examine (I) the relationship between Qcap and exercise intensity during and following exercise, and (II) to critically reflect the Qcap approach. Seventeen male subjects completed six bouts of cycling exercise with different exercise intensities (40–90% peak oxygen uptake, VO2peak) in randomized order. VO2 and ΔHHb were monitored continuously during the trail. Qcap was modelled bi‐exponentially, and mean response time (MRT) was calculated during recovery as well as the dissociation of modelled VO2 and Qcap recovery kinetics (MRT/τVO2). End‐exercise Qcap increased continuously with exercise intensity. This also applied to MRT. Postexercise MRT/τVO2 increased from 40 to 60% VO2peak but remained stable thereafter. The results show that Qcap response to exercise is linearly related to exercise intensity. This is presumably due to vasoactive factors like shear‐stress or endothelial‐mediated vasodilation. MRT/τVO2 shows that postexercise Qcap is elevated for a longer period than VO2, which is representative for metabolic demand following exercise ≥70% VO2peak. This is a hint for prolonged local vasodilation. According to previous studies, Qcap could not be modelled properly in some cases, which is a limitation to the method and therefore has to be interpreted with caution.

Published: April 2017

AbstractIntroductionWhile marijuana has been legal for medical purposes in California since 1996, little is known about the health histories of young adult medical marijuana patients who are a significant proportion of medical marijuana patients. We examined whether young adult medical marijuana patients reported health conditions and motivations for use that were consistent with medical use of marijuana in California.MethodsYoung adults (N = 366) aged 18 to 26 years were sampled in Los Angeles in 2014–2015 and segmented into medical marijuana ‘patients’ (n = 210), marijuana users with a current recommendation, and non‐patient users or ‘non‐patients’ (n = 156), marijuana users who never had a medical marijuana recommendation. Differences between patients and non‐patients regarding self‐reported health histories and past/current motivations for marijuana use were expressed as unadjusted risk ratios.ResultsCompared with non‐patients, patients were significantly more likely to report a range of lifetime health problems, such as psychological, physical pain and gastrointestinal. In the past 90 days, patients were significantly more likely to report motivations for marijuana use than non‐patients concerning sleep, anxiety, physical pain and focusing. Psychological and pain problems were the most common health conditions reported to receive a medical marijuana recommendation. Patients were significantly less likely than non‐patients to report any privacy concerns about obtaining a medical marijuana recommendation.ConclusionsPatients were significantly more likely to report a range of health conditions and motivations associated with medical use than non‐patients. A great majority of patients reported obtaining a medical marijuana recommendation for health problems in accordance with the California law.

Published: April 2017

AbstractIntroduction and AimsThis study aims to estimate the prevalence of long‐term risky drinking within the Australian population and the proportion of standard drinks that is consumed outside of the long‐term risk (LTR) guidelines of two Australian standard drinks (ASD) per day.Design and MethodsRecruited by phone, 2020 Australian adults with an oversampling of risky drinkers were asked detailed questions about how much alcohol they consumed at a range of locations in 2013. Descriptive statistical analyses of data weighted to be representative of the Australian adult population were undertaken, with a focus on the ASD consumed above the LTR guidelines.ResultsAlthough 28% of respondents drink at levels above the LTR drinking guidelines, 56% of all ASD consumed are above the two per day recommended to reduce LTR. Three‐quarters of cask wine and liqueurs were consumed outside of the LTR guidelines, as were 58% of all ASD consumed in the home, similar to the proportion of ASD consumed above the guidelines in pubs (55%).Discussion and ConclusionsWhile the minority of Australians drink to LTR levels, the majority of alcohol is consumed by long‐term risky drinkers. More research and policy focus on the patterns of alcohol consumption that lead to long‐term risk, particularly outside of licensed premises, is required.

Allies or commitment devices? A model of appointments to the Federal Reserve
Authors: Schnakenberg Keith E. , Turner Ian R. , Uribe‐McGuire Alicia 
Published: April 2017

AbstractWe present a model of executive‐legislative bargaining over appointments to independent central banks in the face of an uncertain economy with strategic economic actors. The model highlights the contrast between two idealized views of Federal Reserve appointments. In one view, politicians prefer to appoint conservatively biased central bankers to overcome credible commitment problems that arise in monetary policy. In the other, politicians prefer to appoint allies, and appointments are well described by the spatial model used to describe appointments to other agencies. Both ideals are limiting cases of our model, which depend on the level of economic uncertainty. When economic uncertainty is extremely low, politicians prefer very conservative appointments. When economic uncertainty increases, politicians’ prefer central bank appointees closer to their own ideal points. In the typical case, the results are somewhere in between: equilibrium appointments move in the direction of politician's preferences but with a moderate conservative bias.

SummaryThe effect of Trichoderma (T. atrobrunneumFCC320 and T. atrovirideLU633) and/or methyl jasmonate (MJ) on resistance to terminal crook (Colletotrichum acutatum) and on seedling biochemistry was investigated in radiata pine (Pinus radiata) seedlings. Seedlings were germinated and grown in Trichoderma‐amended or non‐amended media for 3 months and then sprayed with 2.25 mM MJ 1 week before inoculation with C. acutatum. The incidence and severity of terminal crook in the seedlings treated with MJ and Trichoderma+MJ were lower than in Trichoderma‐treated and Trichoderma‐untreated seedlings. The MJ‐induced resistance response was concomitant with an increase in the concentrations of the monoterpenes α‐pinene, β‐pinene, β‐phellandrene, camphene and myrcene in needles, and also α‐pinene, β‐pinene and camphene in stems. The concentrations of α‐pinene, β‐pinene and camphene were elevated from at least 1 week until 4 weeks after MJ application, compared with those in non‐MJ counterparts. Trichoderma alone did not affect monoterpenes, but the concentrations of α‐pinene, β‐pinene and camphene were greater in needles of Trichoderma+MJ than in MJ‐treated seedlings after 28 days. Total phenolic concentration in needles and peroxidase activity in stems were twofold greater in MJ‐treated seedlings than in non‐MJ seedlings over the same period. None of the treatments affected the activity of peroxidase in needles. It is proposed that the accumulation of monoterpene and phenolics and the induction of peroxidases contribute, in part, to MJ‐induced resistance to terminal crook in radiata pine seedlings.
