TripAdvisor and reputation: a case study of the hotel industry in Cyprus
Authors: Nicoli Nicholas , Papadopoulou Evgenia 
Published: July 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the significance of TripAdvisor on reputation within the hotel industry. TripAdvisor encapsulates key themes in establishing an online reputation strategy in an evolving digital landscape.Design/methodology/approachThrough the use of an exploratory case study, data were gathered primarily by means of a series of expert interviews within the hotel industry in Cyprus, today a mature holiday destination in Europe. Further data collection included a document search of presentations, annual reports, past surveys and sales and marketing literature from the examined industry.FindingsHotel communication practitioners are fully aware of the impact of social media in managing reputation. Constant monitoring, prompt responses, training and transparency were identified as key factors. Online reputation management needs to be taken into consideration when designing a comprehensive integrated communication strategy.Research limitations/implicationsCongruence amongst interviewees in certain areas could be on account of the homogeneity of practitioners, of their background and training and of similar organisational cultures across the locale of study. This leads to limits in the generalisations from this study’s findings.Practical implicationsEncouragement and training of employees were amongst the primary suggestions that emerged. An internal and external environmental scan, recognising possible strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, which could assist in the effective engagement and monitoring of the organisation’s online presence, were also suggested.Originality/valueThe uniqueness of the study lies in its exploration of reputation management of a well-known traveller’s platform by addressing social media content in both a proactive and reactive manner.
Sukuk and conventional bonds: shareholder wealth perspective
Authors: Sherif Mohamed , Erkol Cennet Tuba 
Published: July 2017

Purpose
This study aims to comprehensively examine the stock market effects of announcements by firms to issue conventional bonds versus Sukuk. In addition, the authors investigate whether the choice of instrument depends on the tax status and government backing of the issuing firm. They split the sample into whole (2000-2015), pre-crisis (2000-2007) and post-crisis (2010-2015) subsamples.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors use event study methodology, market model and FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS index on 14 different event windows of which five are symmetric and nine are asymmetric. Further, parametric and distribution-free tests are used to investigate the difference of cumulative abnormal returns when using the two instruments (Sukuk and conventional bonds). For the choice of issuing conventional bonds or Sukuk, Heckman procedure is employed to control for the self-selection of the announcement effects.

Findings
The analysis indicates only insignificant difference in reaction to Sukuk and conventional bond issuances for the overall period and pre-crisis period. However, and importantly, they find strong evidence supporting the Malaysian stock abnormal return reaction to Sukuk compared to conventional bond issuances after the global financial crisis. Interestingly, they find that tax incentives and government backing are significant determinants in issuing Sukuk over conventional bonds. Such evidence is confirmed when using a wide range of robustness checks including four different market indices and both parametric and non-parametric tests.

Research limitations/implications
The empirical analysis is subject to limitations. First, the sample is limited to Sukuk issues domiciled in Malaysia. Second, given that Sukuk are collateralized whereas conventional bonds are not, it would only seem logical for the former to be issued by riskier firms whereas the latter would be issued by stronger firms with stable cash flows. The future research can explore this issue some more. Finally, comparing Sukuk with other similar ethical sources of traded capital may provide insights into the globalization of such economic, trade and financial reforms in and outside Malaysia.

Originality/value
To the author’s knowledge, no research has been conducted studying the differential and conflicting results to announcement of Sukuk issuance in the literature, nor the stock market effects of announcements to issue Sukuk over the pre-crisis (2000-2007) and post-crisis (2010-2015) periods. Thus, the study attempts to assess previous findings and contribute additional evidence that investigates the issue in rich setting.

Authors: Noor Sabahu , Bhat Z.F. , Kumar Sunil , Kousar Insha 
Published: July 2017

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the possibility of utilization of Asparagus racemosus as a novel natural preservative in meat products.

Design/methodology/approach
Chevon sausages were used as a study model and prepared by incorporating different levels of A. racemosus, namely, T1 (0.25 per cent), T2 (0.50 per cent) and T3 (0.75 per cent) and were vacuum packaged and assessed for various lipid oxidative stability and storage quality parameters under refrigerated (4  ±  1°C) conditions.

Findings
Significantly (p < 0.05) lower thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (mg malonaldehyde/kg) values were observed for the products containing A. racemosus in comparison to control indicating a significant effect on the lipid oxidative stability. The products containing A. racemosus also showed significantly (p < 0.05) lower values for various microbiological characteristics like total plate count (log cfu/g), psychrophilic count (log cfu/g), yeast and mould count (log cfu/g), anaerobic count (log cfu/g) and free fatty acid (% oleic acid) values indicating the antimicrobial and antifungal properties of A. racemosus. No significant (p > 0.05) effect was observed on the cooking yield and moisture content of the products. Significantly (p < 0.05) higher scores were observed for various sensory parameters of the products containing A. racemosus during the entire period of storage.

Originality/value
A. racemosus successfully improved the lipid oxidative stability and storage quality of the model meat product without compromising the sensorial characteristics and has a great potential as a novel natural preservative in muscle foods.
Beyond unsustainable leadership: critical social theory for sustainable leadership
Authors: Bendell Jem , Sutherland Neil , Little Richard 
Published: July 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to prepare the conceptual groundwork for the future study of leadership for sustainable development. The paper demonstrates the relevance of Critical Leadership Studies to future research on sustainable development policies and practices. A critical approach is also applied to concepts of sustainable development, with three paradigms of thought described.Design/methodology/approachThe approach taken is an extensive literature review in fields of leadership and sustainable development, with a focus on some of the broad assumptions and assertions in those literatures.FindingsA key finding is that leadership studies drawing from critical social theory can provide important insights into future research and education on leadership for sustainability. This literature shows that some assumptions about leadership may hinder opportunities for social or organisational change by reducing the analysis of factors in change or reducing the agency of those not deemed to be leading. These limitations are summarised as “seven unsustainabilities” of mainstream leadership research.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper calls for the emerging field of sustainable leadership to develop an understanding of significant individual action that includes collective, emergent and episodic dimensions. The paper then summarises key aspects of the papers in this special issue on leadership for sustainability.Practical implicationsThe implications for practice are that efforts to promote organisational contributions to sustainable development should not uncritically draw upon mainstream approaches to leadership or the training of leaders.Originality/valueThe authors consider this the first paper to provide a synthesis of insights from Critical Leadership Studies for research in sustainability.
Falling into a routine: from habits to situated practices
Authors: Cohn Simon , Lynch Rebecca 
Published: July 2017

AbstractIn line with the concept of ‘nudging’ people to change their behaviour, there has been increased attention on habit as a focus for psychologically‐based health interventions. It is hoped that behaviours initiated by interventions not only become so regular that they are normalised into people's everyday lives, but that through repetition they may eventually become fixed and habitual. In this paper we draw on people's accounts of participating in a trial designed to encourage greater physical activity, and attend to the ways they describe their engagement with interventions within wider narratives of their everyday lives. In contrast to the idea that habit refers to automatic behaviour cued by external stimuli and governed by unconscious cognitive processes, our study describes how people identify many diverse elements that are felt to have equal significance in achieving a routine. Paradoxically, the sense of stability derives not from exact repetition, but from the ability for an assemblage of elements to be configured slightly differently each time. We consequently argue that attending to the diverse range of contextual elements bracketed off from interventions designed to be tested in trials, and the idea that continuity might emerge from variation, demands a reconceptualisation of the concept of habit adopted within many areas of current health psychology.

Published: July 2017

ObjectivesBased on seemingly contradictory results in the existing literature, the objective of our study was to investigate whether older individuals suffering from chronic psychiatric disorders show a more rapid decline in cognitive performances than their non‐psychiatric counterparts, or if the pattern of decline through older age is similar in both groups.MethodA total of 820 older adults were selected from the Ageing Multidisciplinary Investigation (AMI) cohort study, which studies health‐related issues of people over 65 years old living in rural areas. Among them, 30 suffer from chronic psychiatric disorders. Cognition was assessed with four neuropsychological tests: the Mini–Mental State Examination, the Digit Symbol Substitution Test, the Free and Cued Selective Reminding test and the Isaacs Set Test. Linear mixed models were used to compare the evolution of cognitive performances in the two groups between baseline and the four‐year follow‐up.ResultsDespite lower performances at baseline, the pattern of cognitive decline of the psychiatric group is similar to that of the control group.ConclusionAs suggested by this study conducted in rural communities, community‐dwelling people suffering from chronic psychiatric disorders should not be considered at greater risk of age‐related accelerated cognitive decline than the non‐psychiatric older population.
The experience of initiating injection drug use and its social context: a qualitative systematic review and thematic synthesis

Published: July 2017

AbstractBackground and aimUnderstanding the experience of initiating injection drug use and its social contexts is crucial to inform efforts to prevent transitions into this mode of drug consumption and support harm reduction. We reviewed and synthesized existing qualitative scientific literature systematically to identify the socio‐structural contexts for, and experiences of, the initiation of injection drug use.MethodsWe searched six databases (Medline, Embase, PsychINFO, CINAHL, IBSS and SSCI) systematically, along with a manual search, including key journals and subject experts. Peer‐reviewed studies were included if they qualitatively explored experiences of or socio‐structural contexts for injection drug use initiation. A thematic synthesis approach was used to identify descriptive and analytical themes throughout studies.ResultsFrom 1731 initial results, 41 studies reporting data from 1996 participants were included. We developed eight descriptive themes and two analytical (higher‐order) themes. The first analytical theme focused on injecting initiation resulting from a social process enabled and constrained by socio‐structural factors: social networks and individual interactions, socialization into drug‐using identities and choices enabled and constrained by social context all combine to produce processes of injection initiation. The second analytical theme addressed pathways that explore varying meanings attached to injection initiation and how they link to social context: seeking pleasure, responses to increasing tolerance to drugs, securing belonging and identity and coping with pain and trauma.ConclusionsQualitative research shows that injection drug use initiation has varying and distinct meanings for individuals involved and is a dynamic process shaped by social and structural factors. Interventions should therefore respond to the socio‐structural influences on injecting drug use initiation by seeking to modify the contexts for initiation, rather than solely prioritizing the reduction of individual harms through behavior change.
Fine‐scale drivers of beetle diversity are affected by vegetation context and agricultural history

Published: July 2017

AbstractEnvironmental gradients have been shown to affect animal diversity, but knowledge of fine‐scale drivers of insect diversity is, in many cases, poorly developed. We investigated the drivers of beetle diversity and composition at different microhabitats, and how this may be mediated by past agricultural activities. The study was undertaken in temperate eucalypt grassy woodland near Canberra, south‐eastern Australia, with a 200‐year history of pastoral land use. We sampled beetles using pitfall traps at three microhabitats (open grassland, logs and under trees). We analysed the effects of soil properties, vegetation structure, and plant composition on beetle composition, and compared beetle responses among the microhabitats. We found that microhabitat was a strong determinant of the way beetle communities responded to their environment. Soil nutrients (C, N and P) were the strongest drivers of beetle species richness, abundance and composition at open and log microhabitat, however vegetation structure (tree basal area) was more important for beetle richness, abundance and biomass under trees. We also found significant differences in beetle composition among distinct ground‐layer plant communities at log and tree microhabitat. We show that prior agricultural land use, particularly fertilization, has altered soil and plant communities, and that these effects continue to flow through the system affecting beetle assemblages. These findings have implications for future management of microhabitat structures in temperate grassy woodlands with a history of agricultural use.

Published: July 2017

SummarySelection affects the patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) around the site of a beneficial allele with an increase in LD among the hitchhiking alleles. Comparing the differences in regional LD between pig populations could help to identify putative genomic regions with potential adaptations for economic traits. In this study, using Illumina Porcine SNP60K BeadChip genotyping data from 207 Chinese indigenous, 117 South American village and 408 Large White pigs, we estimated the variation of genome‐wide LD between populations using the varld program. The top 0.1% standardized VarLD scores were used as a criterion for all comparisons, and compared with LD blocks, a total of four selection signatures on Sus scrofa chromosome (SSC) 7, 9, 13 and 14 were identified in all populations. These signatures overlapped with quantitative trait loci for linoleic acid content, age at puberty, number of muscle fibers per unit area, hip structure and body weight traits in pigs. Among them, one of the signatures (56.5–56.6 Mb on SSC7) in Large White pigs harbored the ADAMTSL3 gene, which is known to affect body length. The findings of this study seem to point toward recent selection in different pig populations. Further investigations are encouraged to confirm the selection signatures detected by varld in the present study.
Evaluation of 2‐benzylidene‐1‐tetralone derivatives as antagonists of A1 and A2A adenosine receptors

Published: July 2017

Antagonists of the adenosine receptors (A1 and A2A) are thought to be beneficial in neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The aim of this study was to explore 2‐benzylidene‐1‐tetralone derivatives as antagonists of A1 and/or A2A adenosine receptors. In general, the test compounds were found to be selective for the A1 adenosine receptor, with only three test compounds possessing affinity for both the A1 and A2A adenosine receptor. The 2‐benzylidene‐1‐tetralones bearing a hydroxyl substituent at either position C5, C6 or C7 of ring A displayed favourable adenosine A1 receptor binding, while C5 hydroxy substitution led to favourable A2A adenosine receptor affinity. Interestingly, para‐hydroxy substitution on ring B in combination with ring A bearing a hydroxy at position C6 or C7 provided the 2‐benzylidene‐1‐tetralones with both A1 and A2A adenosine receptor affinity. Compounds 4 and 8 displayed the highest A1 and A2A adenosine receptor affinity with values below 7 μm. Both these compounds behaved as A1 adenosine receptor antagonists in the performed GTP shift assays. In conclusion, the 2‐benzylidene‐1‐tetralone derivatives can be considered as lead compounds to design a new class of dual acting adenosine A1/A2A receptor antagonists that may have potential in treating both dementia and locomotor deficits in Parkinson's disease.

Published: July 2017

Adenosine receptor (AR) subtypes are involved in several physiological and pharmacological processes. Ligands that are able to selectively modulate one receptor subtype can delay or slow down the progression of diverse diseases. In this context, our research group focused its investigation into the discovery and development of novel, potent and selective AR ligands based on coumarin scaffold. Therefore, a series of 3‐phenylcarboxamidocoumarins were synthesized and their affinity for the human AR subtypes was screened by radioligand binding assays for A1, A2A and A3 receptors and for A2B by adenylyl cyclase assay. Compound 26 was found to be the most remarkable, with a hA1/hA3 and hA2A/hA3 selectivity of 42, for the A3 AR (Ki = 2.4 μm). Receptor‐driven molecular modelling studies have provided valuable information on the binding/selectivity data of compound 26 and for the following optimization process. Moreover, compound 26 presents drug‐like properties according to the general guidelines linked to the concept.
The Stony Brook Temperament Study: Early Antecedents and Pathways to Emotional Disorders
Authors: Klein Daniel N. , Finsaas Megan C. 
Published: July 2017

AbstractIn this article, we summarize findings from the Stony Brook Temperament Study, which seeks to elucidate the early antecedents and pathways to later depressive and anxiety disorders. The study focuses on parents’ internalizing disorders and children's early temperament as distal risk factors that operate, in part, through biobehavioral reward and threat systems. We summarize findings linking parents’ emotional disorders and observations of children's early temperament to subsequent neural measures of children's affective processing. Next, we review findings showing that children's temperament and affective processing predict subsequent depression and anxiety. We also show that many of these associations are moderated by environmental factors, such as parenting and stress. Finally, we relate our findings to literature on the relationships of early temperament and affective processing to anxiety and depression in youth.

ObjectivesTo estimate the total costs of treating head and neck cancers, specifically oropharyngeal, laryngeal and oral cavity cancer, in secondary care facilities in England during the period 2006/2007 to 2010/2011.DesignPatient records were extracted from an English hospital database to estimate the number of patients treated for oropharyngeal, laryngeal and oral cavity cancer in England. Identified resource use was linked to published United Kingdom cost estimates to quantify the reimbursement of treatment through the Payment by Results system.SettingRetrospective hospital data analysis.ParticipantsFrom the hospital data, patient records of patients treated for oropharyngeal, laryngeal and oral cavity cancer were selected.Main outcome measuresAnnual total costs of treatment, stratified by inpatient and outpatient setting and by male and female patients.ResultsFrom 2006/2007 to 2010/2011, total costs of treatment across the three head and neck cancer sites were estimated to be approximately £309 million, with 90% attributable to inpatient care (bundled costs). Oropharyngeal cancer accounted for 37% of total costs. Costs and patient numbers increased over time, largely due to a rise in oropharyngeal cancer, where total costs increased from £17.21 million to £30.32 million, with over 1400 (52%) more inpatients treated in 2010/11 compared to 2006/07.ConclusionsIn 4 years, the number of patients with oropharyngeal cancer receiving some form of inpatient care increased by more than half, and associated costs increased by three quarters. This reinforces the case for prevention and early detection strategies to help contain this epidemiological and economic burden.
