Managing self-service technology service quality to enhance e-satisfaction
Authors: Boon-itt Sakun 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to address, by integrating the self-service technology (SST) adoption and technology acceptance models, the service quality of self-service technologies (SQ-SSTs) by empirically testing a comprehensive model that capture the antecedents and consequences of SQ-SSTs to predict e-satisfaction in the context of digital banking in Thailand.

Design/methodology/approach
– A questionnaire was constructed and responses were obtained from 222 respondents who have a complete digital banking experience (both online and mobile banking). Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling, following a mediating analysis process.

Findings
– Results show that technology readiness (TR) as the antecedent has an influence on SQ-SSTs, which in turn improve e-satisfaction. The paper also found that even though SQ-SSTs can positively influence e-satisfaction, perceived value partial mediates the link between SQ-SSTs and e-satisfaction.

Research limitations/implications
– Further research should investigate the possible influence that some situational factors may have on the model. Factors, such as waiting time and the presence of other customers, should be taken into consideration in future studies.

Practical implications
– Managers may, therefore, particularly wish to consider TR and customers’ perceived value when trying to offer SSTs to the customer.

Originality/value
– The results contribute to the literature in information systems and service marketing by highlighting a key mechanism through which firms can enhance SQ-SSTs and e-satisfaction.
Volunteering as a mechanism to reduce guilt over purchasing luxury items
Authors: Jeong Hyo-Jin , Koo Dong-Mo 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
The present study aims to demonstrate that the volunteering licenses people to indulge in luxury purchase, and both heightened moral self-evaluation and reduced guilt mediate the effect of licensing on ratings of a luxury item by implementing three experimental studies. This study explained the moral licensing behavior using a passive goal guidance model: i.e., people license themselves to indulge when people perceive progress on one of their long-term goals.

Design/methodology/approach
In this paper, three experiments were used to test hypotheses.

Findings
The present paper is new in terms of three aspects. First, moral self-evaluation as a mediator is tested using a more stringent method in comparison to prior studies. Second, reduced guilt which had not yet been explicitly tested is established as a mediator. Third, the present study demonstrates that the passive goal guidance model as a valid theory in explaining the licensing behavior by showing that when people perceive progress in a long-term goal by helping others in need, they are more likely to engage in dysfunctional luxury brand purchases. Previous studies have used credentialing theory to explain this.

Originality/value
The present study established and confirmed that reduced guilt is a mediator in the licensing effect on the purchase of luxury items.
Cognitive and emotional processing of brand logo changes
Authors: Peterson Mark , AlShebil Saleh , Bishop Melissa 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
The purpose of the study is to develop and empirically test a model of how consumers process logo changes used in rebranding.

Design/methodology/approach
Individual in-depth interviews with 12 informants allowed researchers to better understand how consumers respond to logo changes. After developing a model of how consumers process logo changes, researchers deployed a field study evaluating two actual retail brands using survey methodology with 406 respondents.

Findings
Nine of the ten hypotheses of the study receive support. Notably, both interest in the logo change as well as doubt about the logo change characterize consumers’ processing of the logo change.

Research limitations/implications
Although study respondents viewed multiple brands along with variations of these brands, other brands might elicit other responses from consumers. Further study is now in order.

Practical implications
As a result of the study, brand managers can be more aware of the positive and negative processing that brands receive from consumers when brands change their logos. Accordingly, communication programs of brands can better anticipate such processing before logos are changed.

Social implications
Social enterprises that change their logos stand to benefit in a similar way to for-profit businesses that change their logos.

Originality/value
This is the first study to include two types of curiosity – interest curiosity and deprivation curiosity – in a comprehensive model to better explain how consumers process logo changes.
The six dilemmas of strategy execution
Authors: Lowy Alex 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
– There is a recurring and universal set of competing forces that strategy implementers must manage, and their ability to marshal resources and hearts while maintaining the current business depends very much on how six key dilemmas are handled.

Design/methodology/approach
– The author identifies the six dilemmas and offers a leaders’ guide to managing them.

Findings
– Dilemmas do not signal that a strategy is flawed or that leadership is failing. Rather, they are part and parcel of the strategy implementation process; they present consequential choices that need to be understood and addressed.”

Practical implications
– Realism dictates that legitimate dilemmas need to be acknowledged and addressed directly and fully.

Originality/value
– The leader who is first to recognize and effectively manage the dilemmas of strategy implementation will likely gain a headstart in organizational transformation.
Targeted gene enrichment and high‐throughput sequencing for environmental biomonitoring: a case study using freshwater macroinvertebrates
Authors: Dowle Eddy J. , Pochon Xavier , C. Banks Jonathan , Shearer Karen , Wood Susanna A. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractRecent studies have advocated biomonitoring using DNA techniques. In this study, two high‐throughput sequencing (HTS)‐based methods were evaluated: amplicon metabarcoding of the cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) mitochondrial gene and gene enrichment using MYbaits (targeting nine different genes including COI). The gene‐enrichment method does not require PCR amplification and thus avoids biases associated with universal primers. Macroinvertebrate samples were collected from 12 New Zealand rivers. Macroinvertebrates were morphologically identified and enumerated, and their biomass determined. DNA was extracted from all macroinvertebrate samples and HTS undertaken using the illumina miseq platform. Macroinvertebrate communities were characterized from sequence data using either six genes (three of the original nine were not used) or just the COI gene in isolation. The gene‐enrichment method (all genes) detected the highest number of taxa and obtained the strongest Spearman rank correlations between the number of sequence reads, abundance and biomass in 67% of the samples. Median detection rates across rare (<1% of the total abundance or biomass), moderately abundant (1–5%) and highly abundant (>5%) taxa were highest using the gene‐enrichment method (all genes). Our data indicated primer biases occurred during amplicon metabarcoding with greater than 80% of sequence reads originating from one taxon in several samples. The accuracy and sensitivity of both HTS methods would be improved with more comprehensive reference sequence databases. The data from this study illustrate the challenges of using PCR amplification‐based methods for biomonitoring and highlight the potential benefits of using approaches, such as gene enrichment, which circumvent the need for an initial PCR step.

AbstractBackground and aimsA chronic care strategy could potentially enhance the reach and effectiveness of smoking treatment by providing effective interventions for all smokers, including those who are initially unwilling to quit. This paper describes the conceptual bases of a National Cancer Institute‐funded research program designed to develop an optimized, comprehensive, chronic care smoking treatment.MethodsThis research is grounded in three methodological approaches: (1) the Phase‐Based Model, which guides the selection of intervention components to be experimentally evaluated for the different phases of smoking treatment (motivation, preparation, cessation, and maintenance); (2) the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), which guides the screening of intervention components via efficient experimental designs and, ultimately, the assembly of promising components into an optimized treatment package; and (3) pragmatic research methods, such as electronic health record recruitment, that facilitate the efficient translation of research findings into clinical practice. Using this foundation and working in primary care clinics, we conducted three factorial experiments (reported in three accompanying papers) to screen 15 motivation, preparation, cessation and maintenance phase intervention components for possible inclusion in a chronic care smoking treatment program.ResultsThis research identified intervention components with relatively strong evidence of effectiveness at particular phases of smoking treatment and it demonstrated the efficiency of the MOST approach in terms both of the number of intervention components tested and of the richness of the information yielded.ConclusionsA new, synthesized research approach efficiently evaluates multiple intervention components to identify promising components for every phase of smoking treatment. Many intervention components interact with one another, supporting the use of factorial experiments in smoking treatment development.

AbstractAimsTo screen promising intervention components designed to reduce smoking and promote abstinence in smokers initially unwilling to quit.DesignA balanced, four‐factor, randomized factorial experiment.SettingEleven primary care clinics in southern Wisconsin, USA.ParticipantsA total of 517 adult smokers (63.4% women, 91.1% white) recruited during primary care visits who were willing to reduce their smoking but not quit.InterventionsFour factors contrasted intervention components designed to reduce smoking and promote abstinence: (1) nicotine patch versus none; (2) nicotine gum versus none; (3) motivational interviewing (MI) versus none; and (4) behavioral reduction counseling (BR) versus none. Participants could request cessation treatment at any point during the study.MeasurementsThe primary outcome was percentage change in cigarettes smoked per day at 26 weeks post‐study enrollment; the secondary outcomes were percentage change at 12 weeks and point‐prevalence abstinence at 12 and 26 weeks post‐study enrollment.FindingsThere were few main effects, but a significant four‐way interaction at 26 weeks post‐study enrollment (P = 0.01, β = 0.12) revealed relatively large smoking reductions by two component combinations: nicotine gum combined with BR and BR combined with MI. Further, BR improved 12‐week abstinence rates (P = 0.04), and nicotine gum, when used without MI, increased 26–week abstinence after a subsequent aided quit attempt (P = 0.01).ConclusionsMotivation‐phase nicotine gum and behavioral reduction counseling are promising intervention components for smokers who are initially unwilling to quit.

AbstractAimsTo identify promising intervention components intended to help smokers to attain and maintain abstinence in their quit smoking attempts.DesignA fully crossed, six‐factor randomized fractional factorial experiment.SettingEleven primary care clinics in southern Wisconsin, USA.ParticipantsA total of 637 adult smokers (55% women, 88% white) motivated to quit smoking who visited primary care clinics.InterventionsSix intervention components designed to prepare smokers to quit, and achieve and maintain abstinence (i.e. for the preparation, cessation and maintenance phases of smoking treatment): (1) preparation nicotine patch versus none; (2) preparation nicotine gum versus none; (3) preparation counseling versus none; (4) intensive cessation in‐person counseling versus minimal; (5) intensive cessation telephone counseling versus minimal; and (6) 16 versus 8 weeks of combination nicotine replacement therapy (nicotine patch  +  nicotine gum).MeasurementsSeven‐day self‐reported point‐prevalence abstinence at 16 weeks.FindingsPreparation counseling significantly improved week 16 abstinence rates (P = .04), while both forms of preparation nicotine replacement therapy interacted synergistically with intensive cessation in‐person counseling (P < 0.05). Conversely, intensive cessation phone counseling and intensive cessation in‐person counseling interacted antagonistically (P < 0.05)—these components produced higher abstinence rates by themselves than in combination.ConclusionsPreparation counseling and the combination of intensive cessation in‐person counseling with preparation nicotine gum or patch are promising intervention components for smoking and should be evaluated as an integrated treatment package.
Real People, Real Dogs, and Pigs for the Ancestors: The Moral Universe of “Domestication” in Indigenous Taiwan
Authors: Simon Scott 
Published: November 2015

ABSTRACTHumans and other animals often engage in multispecies relations that go beyond classical definitions of “domestication,” not least because there are political dimensions to those relations. External interference with human–animal relationships has notably been part of indigenous experiences of colonialism and postcolonialism. I examine here changes in the triangular relationship between humans, dogs, and pigs among the indigenous Seejiq Truku of Taiwan. Dogs, as hunting companions, are traditionally associated with men's work; pigs, used in ancestral sacrifices, are aligned with women's work. Pigs are mediators with the spirit world, as ancestor spirits respond to regular pig sacrifices by providing prey to hunters. Dogs are important as hunting companions that make it possible to catch boars and other animals. These human–animal relations have undergone change because of the integration of the Seejiq into new markets, the state, and legal regulations about both hunting and the keeping of animals. Human–animal relations also articulate with dynamics of gender and class in a changing political economy. The Seejiq frame their intrahuman and interspecies relations in terms of Gaya, their sacred ancestral law. By affirming the value of their particular type of multispecies community, the Seejiq demonstrate resilience and a strong defense of sovereignty.

SummaryBackgroundA better knowledge of the natural history of disabling chronic diseases is essential to improve patient management, evaluate the impact of treatment strategies and provide predictors for disabling disease and comprehensive information for patients.AimTo summarise our current knowledge issued from population‐based studies of the natural history of ulcerative colitis (UC) in children.MethodsWe searched MEDLINE (source PubMed) and international conference abstracts, and included all population‐based studies that evaluated long‐term outcome of paediatric‐onset (<17 years at diagnosis) UC.ResultsA total of 26 population‐based studies were considered in this review from the total of 61 articles or abstracts screened. Most patients presented disease extension and about two‐thirds of patients had pancolitis at the end of follow‐up. One‐half of patients experienced extra‐intestinal manifestations and primary sclerosing cholangitis was observed in 5–10% of patients. Overall, patients did not appear to have any significant growth retardation or delayed puberty. About two‐thirds of patients required corticosteroid therapy and up to 25% were steroid dependent. An increased use of thiopurines was observed and the most recent data indicate that up to one‐half of patients were exposed to thiopurines and 10–30% were exposed to anti‐tumour necrosis factor. One‐half of patients required hospitalisations and 20% of patients required colectomy after a follow‐up of 10 years.ConclusionsPaediatric‐onset UC is characterised by a high rate of disease extension. About 20% of patients had been operated at 10‐year follow‐up. New population‐based studies are needed to evaluate the impact of new treatment strategies comprising immunosuppressants and biologics.
Multivariate Piecewise Exponential Survival Modeling
Authors: Li Yan , Panagiotou Orestis A. , Black Amanda , Liao Dandan , Wacholder Sholom 
Published: November 2015

Summary
In this article, we develop a piecewise Poisson regression method to analyze survival data from complex sample surveys involving cluster-correlated, differential selection probabilities, and longitudinal responses, to conveniently draw inference on absolute risks in time intervals that are prespecified by investigators. Extensive simulations evaluate the developed methods with extensions to multiple covariates under various complex sample designs, including stratified sampling, sampling with selection probability proportional to a measure of size (PPS), and a multi-stage cluster sampling. We applied our methods to a study of mortality in men diagnosed with prostate cancer in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) cancer screening trial to investigate whether a biomarker available from biospecimens collected near time of diagnosis stratifies subsequent risk of death. Poisson regression coefficients and absolute risks of mortality (and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals) for prespecified age intervals by biomarker levels are estimated. We conclude with a brief discussion of the motivation, methods, and findings of the study.
Making the EU Legislation on Invasive Species a Conservation Success
Authors: Tollington Simon , Turbé Anne , Rabitsch Wolfgang , Groombridge Jim J. , Scalera Riccardo , Essl Franz , Shwartz Assaf 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThe European Union's (EU) new legislation concerning Invasive Alien Species (IAS) is a ground‐breaking and commendable attempt to set a common standard for combating IAS across political jurisdictions at a multinational scale. However, the regulation, underpinned by a list of IAS of Union concern, affords Member States a degree of operational flexibility and its successful implementation will be dictated by appropriate national enforcement and resource use. In evaluating this EU legislation, we provide pragmatic recommendations based upon a geo‐political analysis of the pan‐European capabilities to combat IAS and discuss measures to avoid the risk that the regulation will promote a piecemeal response by stakeholders instead of a truly collaborative effort. We highlight a major deficit in the funding mechanisms to support a comprehensive implementation of the legislation and stress the importance of consultation with the broader scientific community, including with key stakeholders, businesses and the general public. Our recommendations will create incentives for industries, raise awareness among citizens and stakeholders, and help establish a social norm for the EU and further afield. The legislation offers a collaborative Europe the chance to demonstrate its commitment to tackling the problems of IAS and to achieve a successful conservation breakthrough of international importance.
Access Orders and the ‘New’ New Institutional Economics of Development
Authors: Gray Hazel 
Published: November 2015

ABSTRACTThis article examines the Access Order theories of development that have emerged as the latest reformulation of New Institutional Economics by Douglass North and his associates. These scholars claim that Access Order theory represents a radical break from previous models of institutional change in developing countries. They argue that at the heart of development is the problem of controlling organized violence. Two distinct social orders, the Limited Access Order and the Open Access Order, have emerged as solutions to the problem of endemic violence. This article traces the evolution of these new ideas within North's institutional theory and examines how violence is treated within the new framework. The article evaluates the underlying economic model on which the theory is based and argues that the conceptual device of the Open Access Order preserves key features of the neoclassical approach within North's work. The article contrasts the Access Order approach with the political settlements framework. To conclude, the article argues that the Access Order approach serves to strip the progressive potential out of development by ignoring how controlling violence may affect human capabilities, rights and freedom.
