Authors: Kumar Manish , Jauhari Hemang , Rastogi Ashish , Sivakumar Sandeep 
Published: February 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to integrate learnings from social exchange theory, organizational support theory and JD-R model to explore the relationship among support for development, work engagement (WE), job satisfaction (JS) and turnover intention (TI). It was hypothesized that the relationship between managerial support for development (MSD) and TI would be explained through organizational support for development (OSD), WE and overall job satisfaction (OJS).Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey on a sample of 5,088 service industry employees undergoing organizational change and working in the business-to-business context was employed. Reponses were analyzed using IBM® SPSS® AMOSTM 20.FindingsThe findings were along the hypothesized lines. The study found support for mediation by OSD, WE and OJS, respectively of MSD and TI relationship. Similarly, the mediation of MSD-OJS relationship by OSD and WE, respectively were also supported. Furthermore, OSD mediated the relationship between MSD and WE; while the relationship between OSD and TI was mediated by WE and OJS, respectively and additionally, the OSD-OJS relationship was mediated by WE. Lastly, the mediation of WE-TI relationship by OJS was also supported. Therefore, the sequence of MSD-OSD-WE-OJS-TI partial mediation model was supported.Research limitations/implicationsWhile the sample size (n=5,088) is large, the respondents belong to one business unit of an organization, constraining generalizability. Additionally, the study is limited by cross-sectional design. Finally, the study was restricted by the choices of perceptual measures of study variables and non-quantitative evaluation of discretion/job demand.Originality/valueUsing learnings from multiple theories, the present study examined the roles of two sources of support for development (organizational and managerial) and two job-related states (WE and JS) in relating with TI. Interestingly, all the expected relationships were true in a context signifying the discretionary nature of organization. Further, testing of alternate models gives additional credence to the findings.
From resistance to readiness: the role of mediating variables
Authors: Thakur Rajiv R. , Srivastava Shalini 
Published: February 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of trust, perceived organizational support, and emotional attachment in bridging the gap between resistance and readiness to change.

Design/methodology/approach
A conceptual model including five constructs is developed. The questionnaire survey using the study variables readiness to change, trust, perceived organizational support, emotional attachment, and resistance to change was used in this study. Descriptive statistics and mediation regression analysis are used to test all hypotheses using the survey data of 276 middle-level managers.

Findings
The findings reflect how readiness to change reduces the impact of resistance to change during organizational change. Furthermore it also finds that how trust, perceived organizational support, and emotional attachment mediates the relationship between resistance and readiness and reduces the gap between the two.

Research limitations/implications
The findings in the study have made significant contribution to the literature especially on middle-level managers in the Indian context. There was a paucity of research done on the study variables. The mediating effects of the study variable have never been explored earlier and therefore make an immense contribution to the field of knowledge for practitioners and academicians.

Practical implications
The research results have many practical implications. It could be established that trust, perceived organizational support, and emotional attachment have a strong and positive association with the management of change. Linking of study variables during change is helpful for the top managers for better understanding during a major organizational change. Supporting the employees through human touch during change will lead to easier transition. Understanding of various dimensions that influence employee to readiness for organizational change is an important endeavor for organizational change.

Social implications
The research is of utmost significance for the top management as it can provide a better insight to understand and keep in mind the key aspects during organizational change in such a way that chances of resistance reduces to minimal. If the employees are contented by receiving support from their bosses, if there exists a mutual trust which increases emotional attachment, introducing change in the organization will be much easier for the management.

Originality/value
This research attempts to investigate how during times of turbulent change in an organization trust between the employees and their supervisor, perceived social support, and emotional attachment with the organization positively impact the change management process. The findings provide valuable insights for the top management to understand the psyche of its employees and provide them a human touch during the time of organizational change.
How customer participation influences service failure attribution
Authors: Chen Chia-Yi 
Published: February 2018

Purpose
Previous studies offer two contradictory propositions for the influence of customer participation on service failure attribution. The purpose of this paper is to solve this theoretical inconsistency by incorporating the concept of self-efficacy into its theoretical framework.

Design/methodology/approach
Two 2 (customer participation: high vs low) by 2 (self-efficacy: high vs low) experimental designs were employed under scenarios relating to education and haircut services.

Findings
The results show that customers with high self-efficacy attribute more responsibility to the firms for a service failure as their participation in service increases. In contrast, customers with low self-efficacy are less likely to blame firms for service failures in the high-participation condition than in the low-participation condition.

Practical implications
This study suggests that understanding customers’ self-efficacy could help firms improve recovery performance according to customers’ individual differences if service failure occurs.

Originality/value
The findings help resolve conflicting results reported in the literature and show that the impact of customer participation on service failure attribution differs according to customers’ self-efficacy. Therefore, this study provides a theoretical contribution by enhancing the knowledge of how customer participation influences causal attribution and satisfaction after a service failure.
Essential audits for proactive electronic resources troubleshooting and support
Authors: Mortimore Jeffrey M. , Minihan Jessica M. 
Published: February 2018

Purpose
This study aims to report on a series of “essential audits” implemented by technical services personnel at Georgia Southern University to provide proactive troubleshooting of electronic resources.

Design/methodology/approach
These “essential audits” include bi-weekly link tests in the library’s A-Z database list, quarterly book and link asset tests in LibGuides and rolling authentication audits of link resolver records. Taken together, these techniques help to reduce access issues before they arise, improving overall provision of access.

Findings
Since implementing these “essential audits,” Georgia Southern has seen reductions in troubleshooting requests related to database-level authentication and access, as well as reductions in link-level troubleshooting requests originating from the library’s LibGuides platform and article-level troubleshooting requests originating from the link resolver.

Practical implications
Findings recommend implementation of regular audits pursuant to proactive troubleshooting of electronic resources and improved overall provision of access.

Originality/value
This case study contributes to the recent literature and discourse on electronic resource access troubleshooting by highlighting simple, proactive auditing techniques.
Peer-to-peer word-of-mouth: word-of-mouth extended to group online exchange
Authors: Toder-Alon Anat , Brunel Frédéric F. 
Published: February 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how peer-to-peer word-of-mouth (PPWOM) conversations evolve over time because of the dynamic social nature of the community in which they take place.

Design/methodology/approach
This study analyzed PPWOM conversations in an online community website for new and expectant mothers. Two data collection phases were undertaken during a four-year period. In phase I, messages were collected for a one-month period from five different bulletin boards (i.e. cross-sectional data) and at two points in time (i.e. semi-longitudinal). In phase II, a full longitudinal study was conducted, and the complete text of all messages of a newly formed bulletin board was captured for a nine-month period. The corpus of messages was examined in line with the basic tools of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis.

Findings
This research developed a typology of PPWOM genres and showed that these genres change over the community lifespan. The findings confirmed that the levels of social cohesiveness and the interaction communicative motives are the main factors that distinguish different PPWOM genres.

Research limitations/implications
This research has offered a new perspective into the study of PPWOM, and hopefully it will serve as a starting point for a broader dialogue regarding the social context in which PPWOM is exchanged.

Originality/value
In contrast to traditional word-of-mouth research, this study demonstrated that PPWOM conversations go much beyond the exchange of functional information, and instead serve numerous social and emotional goals.

Purpose
The main aim of the study was to measure the cutting forces and chip shapes based on different machining parameters.

Design/methodology/approach
To get the best optimal machining conditions, it is essential to use the best combination of machining parameters. Although some machining parameters are not important for the process, there are machining parameters which are very important for the machining process.

Findings
It is essential to determine which machining parameters are the most dominant to make the optimal machining conditions.

Originality/value
Six different chip shapes are obtained according to ISO standardization. It was determined that the different cutting forces occurred for the different chip shapes.
Liponeurofibroma: Clinicopathological features and histogenesis
Authors: Lee Solam , Bak Hana , Ahn Sung Ku 
Published: February 2018

AbstractA neurofibroma is a common cutaneous benign tumor of neural origin. Various histological variants have been reported. Recently, sporadic reports of fatty variants have been reported but their clinicopathological features have not been well studied. The purpose of this study was to examine liponeurofibroma, and to report the distinctive clinicopathological features and histogenesis in comparison with the classic form. A retrospective study was performed on 130 cases. Immunohistochemical staining was performed for S100, factor VIIIa, perilipin and vascular endothelial growth factor. Masson's trichrome stain was also used. Intratumoral adipocytes were examined with transmission electron microscopy. Thirty‐two (24.6%) cases were classified as liponeurofibroma on microscopic examination. This variant was more common in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1, older age and female sex. The most prevalent location was the head and neck. Intratumoral fat deposits showed differences in morphology and size compared with subcutaneous fat on light microscopy. Neurofibromatosis type 1 had the highest odds of fatty change in liponeurofibroma. In sporadic cases, fatty change can be caused by senescence, chronic injury, or tissue hypoxia secondary to internal or external stimuli. Further investigation is needed to identify the pathomechanism of fatty change in various cutaneous neoplasms, including neurofibroma.
Three Metals and the ‘Post‐Socialist City’: Reclaiming the Peripheries of Urban Knowledge
Authors: Gentile Michael 
Published: February 2018

AbstractUrban theory has long been in the grip of a handful of cities and, despite the recent recalibration of the catalogue of cities that inform it, the emerging geographies of urban studies remain skewed, at the expense of cities often referred to as ‘post‐socialist’. This essay considers the notion of the ‘post‐socialist city’, suggesting that it inadvertently poses limits to our imagination, parochializing research, pauperizing its theoretical capacity, and limiting its potential for comparison by automatically organizing differences into the preconceived categories of what it is and what it is not. It is proposed that the concept (re)produces artificial boundaries that consign ‘post‐socialist’ urban research to the peripheries of urban knowledge, joining the vast ranks of ordinary cities that fail to meet the criteria of relevance or admissibility embedded in the hegemonic theorizations stemming (mainly) from the northwest quadrant of the world map. Using the example of an extremely peripheral city in Kazakhstan, this essay argues that research on the ‘post‐socialist city’ should turn its focus to relations, networks and flows while simultaneously dropping the ‘post‐socialist’, which (re)produces differences vis‐à‐vis the supposed normality of the ‘Western’ city––differences that are either imagined, exaggerated, misrepresented, outdated or imposed.
Attitudes towards highly skilled and low‐skilled immigration in Europe: A survey experiment in 15 European countries
Authors: NAUMANN ELIAS , F. STOETZER LUKAS , PIETRANTUONO GIUSEPPE 
Published: February 2018

AbstractTo what extent do economic concerns drive anti‐migrant attitudes? Key theoretical arguments extract two central motives: increased labour market competition and the fiscal burden linked to the influx of migrants. This article provides new evidence regarding the impact of material self‐interest on attitudes towards immigrants. It reports the results of a survey experiment embedded in representative surveys in 15 European countries before and after the European refugee crisis in 2014. As anticipated by the fiscal burden argument, it is found that rich natives prefer highly skilled over low‐skilled migration more than low‐income respondents do. Moreover, the study shows that these tax concerns among the wealthy are stronger if fiscal exposure to migration is high. No support is found for the labour market competition argument predicting that natives will be most opposed to migrants with similar skills. The results suggest that highly skilled migrants are preferred over low‐skilled migrants irrespective of natives’ skill levels.

Published: February 2018

AbstractNew technologies such as human papillomavirus (HPV) testing and vaccination necessitate comprehensive policy analyses to optimize cervical cancer prevention. To inform future Scandinavian‐specific policy analyses, we aimed to provide an overview of cervical cancer epidemiology and existing prevention efforts in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. We compiled and summarized data on current prevention strategies, population demography and epidemiology (for example, age‐specific HPV prevalence and cervical cancer incidence over time) for each Scandinavian country by reviewing published literature and official guidelines, performing registry‐based analyses using primary data and having discussions with experts in each country. In Scandinavia, opportunistic screening occurred as early as the 1950s and by 1996, all countries had implemented nationwide organized cytology‐based screening. Prior to implementation of widespread screening and during 1960–66, cervical cancer incidence was considerably higher in Denmark than in Norway and Sweden. Decades of cytology‐based screening later (i.e. 2010–2014), cervical cancer incidence has been considerably reduced and has converged across the countries since the 1960s, although it still remains lowest in Sweden. Generally, Scandinavian countries face similar cervical cancer burdens and utilize similar prevention approaches; however, important differences remain. Future policy analyses will need to evaluate whether these differences warrant differential prevention policies or whether efforts can be streamlined across Scandinavia.
Association between provider type and cesarean birth in healthy nulliparous laboring women: A retrospective cohort study

Published: February 2018

AbstractBackgroundTerm nulliparous women have the greatest variation across hospitals and providers in cesarean rates and therefore present an opportunity to improve quality through optimal care. We evaluated associations between provider type and mode of birth, including examination of intrapartum management in healthy, laboring nulliparous women.MethodsRetrospective cohort study using prospectively collected perinatal data from a United States academic medical center (2005‐2012). The sample included healthy nulliparous women with spontaneous labor onset and term, singleton, vertex fetus managed by either obstetricians or certified nurse‐midwives. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to compare labor interventions and mode of birth by provider type.ResultsA total of 1339 women received care by an obstetrician (n = 749) or nurse‐midwife (n = 590). The cesarean rate was 13.4% (179/1339). Adjusting for maternal and pregnancy characteristics, care by obstetricians was associated with an increased risk of unplanned cesarean birth (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.48 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.04‐2.12]) compared with care by midwives. Obstetricians more frequently used oxytocin augmentation (aOR 1.41 [95% CI 1.10‐1.80]), neuraxial anesthesia (aOR 1.69 [95% CI 1.29‐2.23]), and operative vaginal delivery with forceps or vacuum (aOR 2.79 [95% CI 1.75‐4.44]). Adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes were not different by provider type across all modes of birth, but were more frequent in women with cesarean than vaginal births.DiscussionIn low‐risk nulliparous laboring women, care by obstetricians compared with nurse‐midwives was associated with increased risk of labor interventions and operative birth. Changes in labor management or increased use of nurse‐midwives could decrease the rate of a first cesarean in low‐risk laboring women.

Published: February 2018

ObjectivesTo assess treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) receiving first‐line chemotherapy or antiandrogen therapy.Patients and MethodsPatients initiating first‐line antiandrogen therapy (abiraterone, enzalutamide) or chemotherapy (taxane) between October 2012 and September 2014 were retrospectively identified in the US Veterans Health Administration database. The impact of antiandrogen therapy vs chemotherapy on overall survival (OS) and time to discontinuation was assessed using Cox proportional hazard models, adjusting for prior androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) duration and available prognostic factors.ResultsOverall, 1445 patients were evaluable, of whom 1108 received antiandrogen therapy and 337 received chemotherapy (docetaxel). On multivariable analysis and propensity score analysis, the OS times for antiandrogen therapy vs chemotherapy were not significantly different (hazard ratio [HR] 1.041, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.853–1.270, P = 0.694, and HR 1.047, 95% CI 0.861–1.273, P = 0.644, respectively). Time to discontinuation was shorter for chemotherapy vs antiandrogen therapy (HR 2.339, 95% CI 1.969–2.779; P < 0.001). Prior ADT duration above the median was associated with longer OS (HR 0.566, 95% CI 0.464–0.690; P < 0.001) and time to discontinuation (HR 0.831, 95% CI 0.699–0.988; P = 0.036) in the antiandrogen therapy cohort and not the chemotherapy cohort, while prior ADT duration below the median was associated with higher prostate specific antigen (PSA) response rate in the chemotherapy vs antiandrogen therapy cohort (61.5% vs 51.1%; P = 0.024). The treatment‐free interval after discontinuation was longer after first‐line chemotherapy vs antiandrogen therapy (mean 53 vs 39 days; P = 0.030).ConclusionAfter adjusting for key prognostic factors in this large mCRPC dataset, the OS was similar for first‐line chemotherapy vs antiandrogen therapy despite shorter time to discontinuation with chemotherapy and longer treatment‐free interval after first‐line chemotherapy. These hypothesis‐generating data also suggest that duration of prior ADT may assist in the selection of patients for chemotherapy vs antiandrogen therapy.

Published: February 2018

SummaryContextTeriparatide (TPTD) therapy has been proposed as a potential treatment strategy in severe cases of pregnancy‐ and lactation‐associated osteoporosis (PLO) characterized by the occurrence of fragility fractures in the third trimester or early postpartum.ObjectiveTo investigate the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers in patients with PLO with and without TPTD treatment.DesignRetrospective cohort study.PatientsThirty‐two patients with PLO who presented with multiple vertebral fractures to a tertiary institution between 2007 and 2015 were included.MeasurementsChanges in BMD at the lumbar spine (LSBMD) and proximal femur after 12 months of daily subcutaneous injections of 20 μg TPTD (n = 27) were assessed. Subjects who rejected the TPTD treatment were used as controls (n = 5).ResultsLSBMD increased in both subjects treated with TPTD and controls, with greater increases in the TPTD group (15.5 ± 6.6% vs 7.5 ± 7.1%, P = .020) after adjustment for age and baseline LSBMD. During follow‐up, serum levels of osteocalcin (OCN) and C‐telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) increased significantly in the TPTD group. In multivariate linear regression models, TPTD treatment (adjusted β = 7.92, P = .032) and younger age (adjusted β = 1.06, P = .046), but not baseline LSBMD, body mass index, serum OCN level and CTX level, were independently associated with greater increases in LSBMD.ConclusionsIn patients with PLO, LSBMD at 12 months increased in both the TPTD‐treated and control groups. TPTD treatment and younger age were associated with greater increases in LSMBD irrespective of baseline LSBMD.
