Internet advertising video facilitating health communication
Authors: Tseng Chung-Hui , Huang Tseng-Lung 
Published: January 2016

Purpose
– Based on narrative theory, emotional contagion theory, and anticipated emotions theory, the purpose of this paper is to adopt an experimental design intended to understand how narrative advertising video on internet, narrator flow and online audience characteristics influence the health communication effects and depression prevention messages of public service advertisements.

Design/methodology/approach
– This study uses two experimental designs. The first contrasts the effectiveness of persuasion between narrative and argument advertising videos on internet, while the second contrasts the effectiveness of persuasion between narrators with high and low flow. This study employed partial least squares path modeling to validate the research structure hypothesis.

Findings
– Empirical results indicate that internet narrative advertising video is not direct, but rather draws on flow and positive anticipated emotions to stimulate the production of online audience intention to adopt health risk-reducing behaviors. Compared with narrative advertising video, which influences intention to adopt health risk-reducing behaviors through flow and positive anticipated emotions, narrator advertising video with an emotionally invested high-flow narrator can strengthen online audience intention to adopt risk-reducing behaviors more directly and positively.

Practical implications
– The study results can provide elements to assist in the design of online advertising video on depression prevention and health promotion.

Originality/value
– In this study, the dialogue among narrative theory, emotional contagion theory, and anticipated emotions theory is constructed, and an integrated conceptual framework is developed for the relationship between internet advertising video type and the health communication.
Predicting investor funding behavior using crunchbase social network features
Authors: Liang Yuxian Eugene , Yuan Soe-Tsyr Daphne 
Published: January 2016

Purpose
– What makes investors tick? Largely counter-intuitive compared to the findings of most past research, this study explores the possibility that funding investors invest in companies based on social relationships, which could be positive or negative, similar or dissimilar. The purpose of this paper is to build a social network graph using data from CrunchBase, the largest public database with profiles about companies. The authors combine social network analysis with the study of investing behavior in order to explore how similarity between investors and companies affects investing behavior through social network analysis.

Design/methodology/approach
– This study crawls and analyzes data from CrunchBase and builds a social network graph which includes people, companies, social links and funding investment links. The problem is then formalized as a link (or relationship) prediction task in a social network to model and predict (across various machine learning methods and evaluation metrics) whether an investor will create a link to a company in the social network. Various link prediction techniques such as common neighbors, shortest path, Jaccard Coefficient and others are integrated to provide a holistic view of a social network and provide useful insights as to how a pair of nodes may be related (i.e., whether the investor will invest in the particular company at a time) within the social network.

Findings
– This study finds that funding investors are more likely to invest in a particular company if they have a stronger social relationship in terms of closeness, be it direct or indirect. At the same time, if investors and companies share too many common neighbors, investors are less likely to invest in such companies.

Originality/value
– The author’s study is among the first to use data from the largest public company profile database of CrunchBase as a social network for research purposes. The author
'
s also identify certain social relationship factors that can help prescribe the investor funding behavior. Authors prediction strategy based on these factors and modeling it as a link prediction problem generally works well across the most prominent learning algorithms and perform well in terms of aggregate performance as well as individual industries. In other words, this study would like to encourage companies to focus on social relationship factors in addition to other factors when seeking external funding investments.
E-retailing ethics and its impact on customer satisfaction and repurchase intention
Authors: Elbeltagi Ibrahim , Agag Gomaa 
Published: January 2016

Purpose– The theoretical understanding of online shopping behaviour has received much attention. Less focus has been given to online retailing ethics. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop and test a comprehensive model of online retailing ethics.Design/methodology/approach– The study used a survey amongst a sample representative of universities across Egypt. In total, 310 questionnaire were collected and analysed using structure equation modelling using WarpPLS.Findings– The results indicate that the consumer perceptions of online retailing ethics (CPORE) as a second-order construct is composed of five constructs (security, privacy, non-deception, fulfilment/reliability, and service recovery) and strongly predictive of online consumer satisfaction. Furthermore, the authors find a significant mediating effect of trust, and commitment on the relationship between CPORE and customer satisfaction. The results also show that individualism had moderate effects on the relationship between CPORE and customer satisfaction. Contrary to expectations, power distance had no significant effect.Research limitations/implications– Despite the contributions of this study some research limitations need acknowledgment. First, this study employed a convenience sample. The authors encourage future studies to use random sampling of general consumers. The ethics literature identifies some factors which influence ethical judgments of consumers (e.g. sex, age, and education). Such research could identify how each variable, individually and cooperatively, impacts consumer ethical evaluations of online retailing. The authors did not collect data from non-internet shoppers because the focus of this study was online consumers referring to their latest purchase online. It may be an interesting extension, however, to test this conceptual model for other populations like non-online consumers.Originality/value– This study developed and empirically tested a comprehensive model of CPORE with its multidimensional constructs and evaluated its impact on both consumer satisfaction and repurchase intention via trust and commitment.
Determinants of carbon management strategy adoption
Authors: Yunus Somaiya , Elijido-Ten Evangeline , Abhayawansa Subhash 
Published: January 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this longitudinal study is to examine the determinants of carbon management strategy (CMS) adoption among Australia’s top 200 listed firms.Design/methodology/approach– A legitimacy theory framework is adopted to investigate whether any significant relationship exists between a firm’s decision to adopt CMS and internal organisational factors, such as the presence of an environmental management system (EMS), as well as corporate governance factors like having an environmental committee, board size and board independence. Content analysis of Carbon Disclosure Project data and other publicly available information sourced from firm websites, annual reports and stand-alone sustainability reports is conducted, covering the period from 2008 to 2012.Findings– Logistic regression analyses confirm that firms adopting CMS are more likely to have an EMS, an environmental committee, larger board size and greater board independence. The study also finds significant association between CMS adoption, firm size, leverage and environmental sensitivity of the firm’s industry.Originality/value– The study shows that internal organisational factors and corporate governance attributes play a vital role in maintaining organisational legitimacy through CMS adoption. The findings of this study should be of interest to report providers (i.e. reporting firms), report users (such as investors and consumers) and policymakers.
Ethical values in the evaluation of corporate social performance
Authors: Wynder Monte , Dunbar Kirsty 
Published: January 2016

Purpose– This paper aims to explore two factors that may moderate the relation between an individual’s ethical values and their evaluation of competing ethical and financial outcomes. It is argued that distance (i.e. low proximity) attenuates moral intensity, thereby inhibiting ethical decision-making (EDM). In contrast, it is argued that presenting outcomes in a separate social and environmental perspective in the balanced scorecard (BSC) increases EDM.Design/methodology/approach– In an experiment, participants evaluated social outcomes presented in a BSC. Proximity and scorecard format were manipulated in a 2 × 2 factorial design.Findings– The results indicate that physical and social proximity increase the extent to which performance evaluation is influenced by the ethical values of the evaluator. Contrary to expectations, BSC format did not influence the EDM of the evaluator.Research limitations/implications– Participants were undergraduate students which may limit the generalisability of the results. Further research should be conducted with practicing managers. The study focused on a particular ethical issue, hiring and training from the local community. Further research is necessary to consider the effect of personal ethical values on other aspects of corporate social responsibility (CSR).Practical implications– This study indicates that ethical values will be less salient when the outcomes relate to distant locations. There are important implications for multinational corporations seeking to avoid the liability of foreignness in their distant operations.Originality/value– Previous CSR research has focused on the institutional level. The focus of the authors on the individual’s decision-making process increases our understanding of the biases that can affect EDM.
Unique determinants of abnormal earnings growth in Malaysia
Authors: Sinnadurai Philip Thiagan 
Published: January 2016

Purpose
– This paper aims to use Malaysian data to investigate determinants of the implied growth rate of abnormal earnings.

Design/methodology/approach
– The sample comprises 340 listed companies. Logistic regressions were conducted. The dependent variables, observed in 2009, distinguish companies with high versus low implied growth rates. The independent variables were observed in 2008. The independent variables of interest capture companies’ status as being Nanyang and politically connected corporations.

Findings
– The results suggest that in Malaysia, implied growth rates are higher for Nanyang corporations and companies with a political connection related to economic policy.

Research limitations/implications
– The study is limited by its one-year investigation period and blurred boundaries between types of political connections. Because these considerations bias the study against supporting the hypotheses, the significant results have enhanced credibility. The empirical proxies for implied growth rates are affected by measurement error. Hence, multiple proxies were used.

Practical implications
– The results suggest that Malaysian Nanyang corporations are a sound investment. The evidence also indicates that in Malaysia, government investment in listed companies enhances, rather than erodes, shareholder wealth.

Originality/value
– Owing to the prevalence of Nanyang companies and government investment in the private sector, the Malaysian setting is unique. The use of a broad definition of “political connections” is a unique aspect of this paper. Examination of implied equity growth rates and the proxies for the same are also original features.
History and the Making and Remaking of Wales
Authors: Johnes Martin 
Published: January 2016

AbstractHistory – in the sense of both the past itself and representations of that past – has been employed over the centuries to assert a Welsh identity. Indeed, by the early twentieth century, history was a defining constituent of national identity in Wales. This article explores how history continued to be used to promote Welsh identity after the Second World War, a practice that grew, particularly in education, as concerns over the future of traditional Welsh culture deepened. Yet popular understandings of the past were frequently fragmented and distorted, even as the depictions of the past put forward by academics and the heritage sector grew more nuanced. Consequently, as the post‐1945 period continued, popular understandings of history began to undermine the development of the embryonic nation‐state that was emerging in Wales.
The legacy of migration in response to climate stress: learning from theGilbertese resettlement in theSolomonIslands
Authors: Donner Simon D. 
Published: January 2016

AbstractThe long‐term threat of sea‐level rise to coral atoll and reef island communities inKiribati,Tuvalu and other nations has raised the possibility of international migration. Historical resettlements in thePacific may provide valuable insight into the long‐term effect of future climate change‐related migration on communities. This study evaluates the challenges faced byGilbertese people resettled from modern‐dayKiribati to Ghizo in theSolomonIslands by theBritish colonial administration in the mid‐1900s. Drawing upon field interviews (n=45) conducted in 2011 and the available historical literature, the study examines the circumstances of the initial failed resettlement in the equatorial PhoenixIslands, the subsequent relocation toGhizo, and the recent concerns of theGilbertese inGhizo. Focus is placed on the struggle to recover from the 2007 tsunami that devastated the unprepared community. The analysis reveals that uncertainty about land tenure (raised by 61% of respondents) persists 60 years after resettlement, and is linked to the ability to recover from the tsunami, tensions with the Melanesian population, concerns over political representation, cultural decline, and education and employment opportunities. The Gilbertese experience can serve as a cautionary tale for policymakers considering mechanisms for facilitating climate change‐related migration.
Implementing SDG 15: Can large‐scale public programs help deliver biodiversity conservation, restoration and management, while assisting human development?
Authors: Bridgewater Peter , Régnier Mathieu , García Roberto Cruz 
Published: January 2016

AbstractAmong the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the proposed SDG 15 promotes activities that, inter alia, “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems”. An important potential contribution in achieving SDG 15 is through public programmes designed to jointly promote human development through poverty alleviation and improvement of human livelihoods and biodiversity conservation/management/restoration. An analysis of twenty public programmes with such joint objectives yielded twelve lessons learned. In addition to financial commitments, government and intergovernmental agency input for such public programmes includes ensuring political will and appropriate legal frameworks. Local communities and civil society provide input through traditional and indigenous ecological knowledge and stewardship. Appropriate shared inputs in development and the implementation of such public programmes, with communication between local community, broader civil society, the scientific community and governments will result in: better use and management of biodiversity; alleviation of poverty; security of livelihoods and better governance systems. The Ecosystem Approach of the Convention on Biological Diversity provides an ideal framework when planning and implementing new programmes. Application of the lessons learned to new public programmes will ensure that the answer to the question posed in the title is an emphatic “Yes”, and assist with the achievement of SDG 15.
Forensic Archaeological Recovery of a Large‐Scale Mass Disaster Scene: Lessons Learned from Two Complex Recovery Operations at the World Trade Center Site
Authors: Warnasch Scott C. 
Published: January 2016

AbstractIn 2006, unexpected discoveries of buried World Trade Center (WTC) debris and human remains were made at the World Trade Center mass disaster site. New York City's Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) was given the task of systematically searching the site for any remaining victims' remains. The subsequent OCME assessment and archaeological excavation conducted from 2006 until 2013, resulted in the recovery of over 1,900 victims' remains. In addition, this operation demonstrated the essential skills archaeologists can provide in a mass disaster recovery operation. The OCME excavation data illustrates some of the challenges encountered during the original recovery effort of 2001/2002. It suggests that when understood within the larger site recovery context, certain fundamental components of the original recovery effort, such as operational priorities and activities in effect during the original recovery, directly or indirectly resulted in unsearched deposits that contained human remains.
Increased uNK Progenitor Cells in Women With Endometriosis and Infertility are Associated With Low Levels of Endometrial Stem Cell Factor
Authors: Thiruchelvam Uma , Wingfield Mary , O'Farrelly Cliona 
Published: January 2016

ProblemUterine natural killer (uNK) cells play a significant role in successful human pregnancy. Having previously demonstrated uNK cell progenitors in human endometrium, we hypothesized that abnormal uNK cell maturation contributes to infertility in women with endometriosis. We aimed to characterize uNK cells at different developmental stages in women with and without endometriosis and to investigate possible mechanisms to explain any differences.Method of studyWe characterized uNK cell development in women with and without endometriosis using flow cytometry, protein array and in vitro experiments.ResultsWe found increased proportions of uNK cells at developmental stages 1 and 2 in endometrium from women with endometriosis (n = 36; mean = 21.2%) when compared with healthy fertile women (n = 9; mean = 7.0%). Protein array analysis revealed significantly lower levels of stem cell factor (SCF) in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis when compared to healthy women. Addition of SCF to endometrial progenitor cells in vitro restored uNK cell maturation.ConclusionWe have shown that women with endometriosis have low levels of endometrial SCF, which we hypothesize contributes to abnormal maturation of local uNK cell populations. This defect may also compromise embryo implantation and hence contribute to endometriosis‐associated infertility. SCF replacement may be a new therapeutic approach.
The effect of two cognitive aid designs on team functioning during intra‐operative anaphylaxis emergencies: a multi‐centre simulation study
Authors: Marshall S. D. , Sanderson P. , McIntosh C. A. , Kolawole H. 
Published: January 2016

SummaryThis multi‐centre repeated measures study was undertaken to determine how contrasting designs of cognitive aids affect team performance during simulated intra‐operative anaphylaxis crises. A total of 24 teams consisting of a consultant anaesthetist, an anaesthetic trainee and anaesthetic assistant managed three simulated intra‐operative anaphylaxis emergencies. Each team was assigned at random to a counterbalanced order of: no cognitive aid; a linear cognitive aid; and a branched cognitive aid, and scored for team functioning. Scores were significantly higher with a linear compared with either a branched version of the cognitive aid or no cognitive aid for ‘Team Overall Behavioural Performance’, difference between study groups (F‐value) 5.8, p = 0.01. Aggregate scores were higher with the linear compared with the branched aid design (p = 0.03). Cognitive aids improve co‐ordination of the team's activities and support team members to verbalise their actions. A linear design of cognitive aid improves team functioning more than a branched design.
The implementation of systematic pain and sedation management has no impact on outcome in extremely preterm infants

Published: January 2016

AbstractAimThis study compared the short‐term and neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely preterm infants before and after the implementation of a protocol to manage neonatal pain and sedation.MethodsOur study cohort comprised 140 extremely preterm infants from two neonatal intensive care units. We retrospectively analysed opiate exposure, time on mechanical ventilation, inotropic support, nutritional aspects and growth 12 months before (controls) vs 12 months after (intervention) the implementation of the Vienna Protocol for Neonatal Pain and Sedation. Infants were evaluated at the corrected age of 12 months using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development – Second Edition.ResultsAfter the protocol was implemented, the cumulative opiate dose increased from a baseline of 15 mg/kg ± 41 to 89 mg/kg ± 228 morphine equivalents. Time on mechanical ventilation, inotropic support, length of parenteral nutrition, growth, length of stay and in‐hospital morbidity were similar before and after the implementation, with no differences between the groups in mental, motor and behavioural development at the one‐year follow‐up. However, opiate exposure was a possible risk factor for lower behaviour rating scores (estimate = −0.04; p = 0.006). [Correction added on 23 February 2016, after online publication: In the preceding sentences, the cumulative opiate dose as well as the estimate value for the behavioral rating scale were previously incorrect and have been amended in this current version.]ConclusionImplementing a neonatal pain and sedation protocol increased opiate exposure, but had no effect on the in‐hospital and neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely preterm infants.
