A sensemaking perspective on arts sponsorship decisions
Authors: Daellenbach Kate , Zander Lena , Thirkell Peter 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to better understand the sensemaking strategies of managers involved in making decisions concerning arts sponsorship.

Design/methodology/approach
– A qualitative, multiple case method is employed, using multiple informants in ten arts sponsorship decisions. Within and between case analyses were conducted and examined iteratively, along with literature to generate themes to guide future research.

Findings
– This study finds art sponsorships may be seen as ambiguous, cueing sensemaking; the sensemaking strategies of senior managers involve response to pro-social cues while middle managers draw on commercial benefit cues; sensebreaking and sensegiving are part of the process; and the actors and their interpretations draw from cues in the organisational frames of reference which act as filters, giving meaning to the situations.

Research limitations/implications
– This study presents a novel perspective on these decisions, focusing on the micro-level actions and interpretations of actors. It extends current understanding of sponsorship decision making, contributing to a perspective of managers responding to cues, interacting and making sense of their decisions.

Practical implications
– For arts managers, this perspective provides understanding of how managers (potential sponsors) respond to multiple cues, interpret and rationalise arts sponsorships. For corporate managers, insights reveal differences in sensemaking between hierarchical levels, and the role of interaction, and organisational frames of reference.

Originality/value
– This study is unique in its approach to understanding these decisions in terms of sensemaking, through the use of multiple informants and multiple case studies.
Analysis of the internal flow behavior on S-shaped region of a Francis pump turbine on turbine mode
Authors: Xiao Yexiang , Zhu Wei , Wang Zhengwei , zhang jin , Zeng Chongji , Yao Yangyang 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
Numerically analyzed the flow characteristic and explored the hydrodynamic mechanism of the S-shaped region formation of a Francis pump-turbine.

Design/methodology/approach
Three-dimensional steady and unsteady simulations were performed for a number of operating conditions at the optimal guide vanes opening. The steady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the SST turbulence model were solved to model the internal flow within the entire flow passage. The predicted discharge-speed curve agrees well with the model test at generating mode. This paper compared the hydrodynamic characteristics of for off-design cases in S-shaped region with the optimal operating case, and more analysis focuses particularly on very low positive and negative discharge cases with the same unit speed.

Findings
At runaway case towards smaller discharge, the relative circumferential velocity becomes stronger in the vaneless, which generates the “water ring” and blocks the flow between guide vane and runner. The runner inlet attack angle becomes larger, and the runner blade passages nearly filled with flow separation and vortexes. The deterioration of runner blade flow leads to the dramatic decrease of runner torque, which tends to reduce the runner rotation speed. In this situation, the internal flow can’t maintain the larger rotating speed at very low positive discharge cases, so the unit discharge-speed curves bend to S-shaped near runaway case.

Originality/value
The analysis method of four off-design cases on S-shaped region with the comparison of optimal operation case and the calculated attack angles are adopted to explore the mechanism of S characteristic. The flow characteristic and quantitative analysis all explain the bending of the unit discharge-speed curves.
DEM modeling of cantilever retaining excavations: implications for lunar constructions
Authors: Jiang Mingjing , Shen Zhifu , Utili Stefano 
Published: April 2016

PurposeRetained excavation is important for future lunar exploratory missions and potential human colonization that requires the construction of permanent outposts. Knowledge in excavation obtained on the Earth is not directly applicable to lunar excavation because of the low lunar gravity and the non-negligible adhesive van der Waals interactions between lunar regolith grains. This study aims at revealing how the gravity level and lunar environment conditions should be considered to extend the knowledge in Earth excavation response to lunar excavation.Design/methodology/approachTwo-dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations were carried out to investigate the respective effect of gravity level and lunar environment conditions (high vacuum and extreme temperature) on retained excavation response. A novel contact model was employed with a moment – relative rotation law to account for the angularity of lunar soil particles, and a normal attractive force to account for the van der Waals interactions.FindingsThe simulation results showed that the excavation response is non-linearly related to the gravity level. Van der Waals interactions can increase the dilatancy of lunar regolith and, surprisingly as a consequence, significantly increase the bending moment and deflection of the retaining wall, and the ground displacements. Based on the simulation results, a parabola model was proposed to predict the excavation induced lateral ground movements on the Moon.Originality/valueThis study indicates that an unsafe estimate of the wall response to an excavation on the Moon would be obtained if only the effect of gravity is considered while the effect of van der Waals interactions is neglected.
A comparative study on the computation of directional overcurrent relay coordination in power systems using PSO and TLBO based optimization
Authors: Saha Debasree , Datta Asim , Saha Roy Biman Kumar , Das Priyanath 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
Directional Overcurrent Relay (DOCR) coordination computation allowing for desired and high level accuracy in interconnected power systems is very difficult and is a highly constraint oriented optimization problem. This paper aims to study the effectiveness of a newly reported optimization technique, Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO), in protective relay coordination comparing with a widely used optimization technique, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO).

Design/methodology/approach
DOCR coordination in electric power systems is considered as an optimization problem by formulating objective function and specifying problem constraints. Optimum values of the DOCR adjustment parameters (Time Dial Setting and Plug Setting) in terms of reliable coordination margin and operating times of relays are computed by both the algorithms, TLBO and PSO. Optimal coordination is verified in three test bus systems: IEEE 6-bus, WSCC 9-bus and IEEE 14-bus systems.

Findings
A comparison between the numerical results of using both the algorithms indicates that the TLBO gives better results in terms of the total operating times of relays and Coordination Time Interval (CTI).

Originality/value
This paper represents the performance of a newly reported optimization technique, TLBO which is till now unpopular to protection engineers to be applied in protective relay coordination applications. The technique provides better performance in comparison to the widely applied technique, PSO. It is expected that TLBO would facilitate protection engineers to decide the optimum and appropriate settings of the relays for leading exact relays coordination.
A new strain-based finite element for plane elasticity problems
Authors: Hamadi Djamal , Ayoub Ashraf , Maalem Toufik 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
In this paper, a new quadrilateral strain-based element is developed. The element has five nodes, four at the corners as well as an internal node.

Design/methodology/approach
Through the introduction of the internal node, the numerical performance of the element proved to be superior to existing elements in the literature, even though a static condensation is required.

Findings
From several numerical examples, it is shown that convergence can be achieved with the use of only a small number of finite elements. The proposed element can be used to solve general plane linear elasticity problems resulting in excellent results.

Originality/value
The results obtained are comparable with those given by the robust element Q8.
Update to "Extraction of elementary siphons in a class of generalized Petri nets using graph theory" [Engineering Computations (2014) 31(2)331-352]
Authors: Hou YiFan , Zhao Mi 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to correct some mistakes in recently published paper (Hou, Y.F., Li, Z.W., Zhao, M., and Liu, D. (2014) “Extraction of elementary siphons in a class of generalized Petri nets using graph theory”, Engineering Computations, Vol.31, No.2, pp.331-352).

Design/methodology/approach
In (Hou et al., 2014), based on the concepts of initial resource weighted digraphs and restricted subgraphs, a structurally simple liveness-enforcing supervisor for WS3PR was designed. To demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method, a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) example was presented. However, there are some mistakes in the considered example. The derived monitors were incorrect, which caused the result that the final controlled net system is not live.

Findings
In order to correct the errors in (Hou et al., 2014), a liveness-enforcing Petri nets supervisor with revised monitors for the considered example was redesigned by applying the method in (Hou et al., 2014).

Originality/value
This paper corrected the mistakes in (Hou et al., 2014). Consequently, a liveness-enforcing Petri net supervisor is redesigned.
“Wasta” and women’s careers in the Arab Gulf States
Authors: Abalkhail Jouharah M. , Allan Barbara 
Published: April 2016

PurposeWomen are under-represented in senior positions across the world, and this paper aims to explore the impact ofwastaon women’s careers in the Arab Gulf States. This paper has two main objectives: to understand the phenomenon ofwastaand how it manifests itself within public organisations in the Gulf region; and to examine howwastais impacting on women’s career advancement.Design/methodology/approachQualitative interviews were conducted with 18 female managers working in public organisations in the Arab Gulf region.FindingsThe findings indicate thatwastarefers to a social network of interpersonal connections, rooted in family and kinship ties, and linked to family affairs as well as work. In addition, the findings demonstrate that, as a result ofwasta, social networks in the workplace, in the Arab Gulf Region, include family connections, and this is different to workplace networks in Western societies which are frequently limited to professional contacts and separate from family or friendship networks. In addition, the findings show thatwastamay be used to support women’s career progression, providing they have access to appropriatewasta. Furthermore, the findings revealed that women, in the Arab Gulf Region, rely directly on their male family member’s connections, as career facilitators, to gain access to organisational opportunities.Practical implicationsThe paper provides some practical suggestions for helping to overcome the potential negative effects ofwastaand to ensure that organisations make the best use of their talent. Hence, this research could potentially inform national policy and organisational policymakers and, in particular, influence recruitment and selection practices to ensure that they are based on competence rather than personal connections.Originality/valueThe paper is based on empirical work in an under-researched, non-Western context. There is extensive literature on gender and management and leadership in Western cultures, and this paper contributes to the developing body of research on women in the Arab cultures. It provides a better understanding of the phenomenon ofwasta, and it highlights the long-term consequences ofwastaon employees, particularly women, working in public organisations. Also, it contributes to theory on the culture of organisations by highlighting the often neglected influences of the broader social and cultural systems, including patriarchal practices, on women’s positions in the organisational hierarchy.
Gender wage differential in private and public sector employment
Authors: Tandrayen-Ragoobur Verena , Pydayya Rajeev 
Published: April 2016

PurposeThis paper aims to analyse the magnitude of the gender wage disparity in the public and private sectors in Mauritius across both mean differentials and overall wage distribution. The paper then decomposed the gender wage differential using the Oaxaca and Blinder (1973) decomposition technique.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses cross-sectional data from the Continuous Multi-Purpose Household Budget Survey (CMPHS), from 2006 to 2013. The sample size on average is around 12,000 households surveyed per year.FindingsThe results reveal that that gender wage differentials are prevalent in both economic sectors; however, the disparity is more pronounced in the private sector. In addition, the differences in wages are larger at the bottom compared to the top end of the wage distribution, suggesting the presence of sticky floors. Lastly, it was observed that the unexplained wage gap (discrimination) is higher in the private sector than in public sector across the years.Originality/valueThe literature on the gender wage gap in Africa is limited. This paper adds to the existing literature on gender wage differential with an analysis of the gender wage disparity across the public and private sectors in Mauritius.
Effect of education on migration decisions in Ghana: a rural-urban perspective
Authors: Amuakwa-Mensah Franklin , Boakye-Yiadom Louis , Baah-Boateng William 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of education on migration decisions focusing on rural and urban in-migrants by comparing the 2005/2006 and 2012/2013 rounds of the Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS5 and GLSS6). After correcting for selectivity bias, the authors observed that anticipated welfare gain and socio-economic variables such as sector of employment, sex, experience, age, educational level and marital status significantly affect an individual’s migration decision.

Design/methodology/approach
– The authors made use of Sjaastad’s (1962) human capital framework as a basis for examining the impact of education on migration. The migration decision equation was based on the Heckman two stage procedure.

Findings
– While educational attainment is observed to have a positive effect on migration decision in the period 2005/2006, the authors find a negative effect of educational attainment on migration decision in the period 2012/2013. The effect of educational attainment on migration decision in 2005/2006 for urban in-migrant is higher than the effect for rural in-migrant, with its significance varying for the different stages of educational attainment. In absolute terms, whereas the effect of secondary educational attainment on migration decisions for urban in-migrant is higher than that of rural in-migrant, the reverse holds for higher educational attainment during the period 2012/2013.

Social implications
– Based on the mixed effect of education on migration decision as evident from the study, policies to enhance the educational system in Ghana should be complemented with job creations in the entire country. Moreover, special attention should be given to the rural sector in such a way that the jobs to be created in the sector do not require skilled workers. With quality education and job creation, the welfare of individuals living in urban and rural areas will be enhanced.

Originality/value
– In spite of the importance of education in migration decisions, there is scanty literature on the rural-urban dimension. To the best of the author’s knowledge there is no literature in the Ghanaian context which examines the rural and urban perspective of the impact of education on migration with a much recent data. Further, the author consider how the determinants of migration decision have changed over time focusing on rural and urban perspectives.
Exploring connections: aspiration levels, culture and the resource based view
Authors: Chun Douglas 
Published: April 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to consider the linkages between two theories of firm performance, aspiration theory and the resource-based view (RBV), possible ways in which these theories may interact, and how the culture from which the firm originated can be a factor in how the firm may react to Schumpeterian shock issues suggested in RBV of the firm.Design/methodology/approach– This paper takes a theoretical approach.Findings– Firms generally look to firms sharing their own cultural backgrounds when selecting similar others. However when the environment is no longer beneficial to firms sharing these goals and objectives, the focal firm may consider firms from other cultural backgrounds when forming aspiration levels.Research limitations/implications– Empirical studies would be necessary to verify these finding: do firms show a preference to firms from their own cultural backgrounds when choosing firms to serve as reference groups for goals and objectives? Would Schumpeterian Shocks cause firms to seek other firms outside of their own culture to set new goals and objectives?Practical implications– Firms should be aware of their own possible biases when deciding which firms to base its goals and objectives on, and widen the cultural scope of their competitive views to include firms from other cultural backgrounds, diversifying their repertoire of strategies and improving the survivability of the organization.Originality/value– The combination of different managerial theories is not common in management literature, and the author was unable to find an article combining the RBV, Aspiration Theory and cultural theories. If management theories are valid, then it is important to understand the relationships between these theories.
The reduction of employee lying behaviour
Authors: Celse Jérémy , Chang Kirk , Max Sylvain , Quinton Sarah 
Published: April 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to analyse employees’ lying behaviour and its findings have important implication for the management and prevention strategies of lying in the workplace. Employee lying has caused both reputational and financial damage to employers, organisations and public authorities. This study adopts a psycho-cognitive perspective to examine the mechanism of lying reduction and the influence envy has on lying behaviour.Design/methodology/approach– Incorporating social comparison phenomenon and cognate studies this study suggests that envy may restrain people from lying in the workplace. Specific hypotheses are developed and tested with 271 participants using dice game scenarios.Findings– Research findings have found that people are likely to lie if lying brings them benefits. However, the findings also reveal that the envy aroused between two people may act as a psychological barrier to reduce the tendency to lie.Originality/value– The research findings have provided an alternative perspective to the current prevailing view of envy as a negative emotion. Envy need not always be negative. Envy can provide an internal drive for people to work harder and enhance themselves but it can also act as a brake mechanism and self-regulator to reduce lying, and thereby has a potentially positive value.
Determinants of brand trust in high inherent risk products: The moderating role of education and working status
Authors: Srivastava Neha , Dash Satya , Mookerjee Amit 
Published: April 2016

Purpose
This paper seeks to empirically examine the distinct antecedents of cognitive and affective brand trust in the context of high inherent risk product of baby care toiletries. In addition, the moderating role of working status and education is investigated for the relationship between brand trust and its antecedents.

Design/methodology/approach
Extensive literature review was conducted to develop the theoretical framework, which was then empirically validated through a survey conducted on the 507 respondents. Data was analyzed using structural equation modeling.

Findings
The study found that brand credibility, brand innovativeness and family influence are antecedents of cognitive brand trust whereas brand intimacy and family influence are drivers of affective brand trust. Further, the working status is found to moderate the relationship between brand intimacy to affective brand trust and family influence to both cognitive and affective brand trust. The study result does not support the moderating effect of education on the relationship of cognitive brand trust with brand credibility and brand innovativeness.

Practical implications
The study recommends marketing strategy implications for high inherent risk product companies such as baby care toiletries that what essential factors they must keep in mind while promoting their brand and winning trust of customers.

Originality/value
The present study is one among those few empirical investigations that examines the role of antecedents of brand trust in less researched context of high inherent risk products.

Published: April 2016

AbstractHailey–Hailey disease (HHD) is a kind of autosomal dominant dermatosis. The ATP2C1 gene has been identified as the pathogenic gene of HHD since 2000. In this study, direct DNA sequencing was used to identify ATP2C1 gene mutations in four Chinese families and two sporadic cases with HHD. The entire coding and flanking intronic sequences of ATP2C1 were screened for mutations and five heterozygous mutations of the ATP2C1 gene were detected in the four pedigrees and two sporadic cases with HHD. Four of them were novel, including three frame‐shift mutations (c.1330delC, c.888_889insT, c.478_479insA) and one nonsense mutation (c.1720C>T). These data added new variants to the database of ATP2C1 mutations associated with HHD.
Evaluation of Antioxidant or Prooxidant Properties of Selected Amino Acids Using In Vitro Assays and in Oil‐in‐Water Emulsions Under Riboflavin Sensitization
Authors: Ka HyeJung , Yi BoRa , Kim Mi‐Ja , Lee JaeHwan 
Published: April 2016

AbstractThe antioxidant properties of selected amino acids were tested using in vitro assays and oil‐in‐water (O/W) emulsions under riboflavin (RF) photosensitization. Headspace oxygen content, lipid hydroperoxides, and conjugated dienes were determined for the degree of oxidation. Riboflavin photosensitization was adapted as the oxidation driving force. In vitro assays showed that cysteine had the highest antioxidant properties followed by tryptophan and tyrosine. However, in O/W emulsions under RF photosensitization, tyrosine inhibited lipid oxidation whereas tryptophan acted as a prooxidant. Tryptophan accelerated the rates of oxidation in O/W emulsion without RF. The antioxidant properties of amino acids differed depending on the antioxidant determination methods, oxidation driving forces, and food matrices.
