The importance of brand architecture in business networks
Authors: Aureli Selena , Forlani Fabio 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
This study aims to understand if network brand management is a key activity in tourism business networks and how the network brand relates to the place brand and the brands of individual network members.

Design/methodology/approach
Preference has been given to a qualitative approach and to the use of case study methodology. Two qualitative techniques have been used: document analysis and in-depth semi-structured interviews.

Findings
Results indicate that network brand identity is a prerequisite for all alliances, thus confirming the brand’s aggregating role in business networks. However, the network brand is not always exploited for commercial purposes, as signalled by the few efforts in communication activities. Results also indicate that there is a strong connection between the network brand and the place, confirming that tourism businesses are intertwined on a local context and cannot avoid citing the place where they operate.

Research limitations/implications
Two main aspects limit the generalizability of this study. First, the empirical evidence is limited to four case studies and refers to only one country. Second, chairmen of the examined networks were interviewed without investigating the opinions of network members who may have contrasting views.

Practical implications
Poor brand management within the examined networks suggests that network managers should have more decision-making power. To apply concepts of brand architecture, network managers should be able to influence brand strategies of individual network members. For example, structures and processes could be created to engage all members in brand management activities like for Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) searching to increase participation of all stakeholders.

Originality/value
The novelty of this study is that it explores the role of brand management in networks created by partners with equal decision power. Moreover, it differs from previous research on inter-firm relations because it adopts the concept of brand consonance to evaluate if networks will succeed in the long term thanks to a proper management of the network brand.
Corporate social responsibility: engaging the community
Authors: Deigh Linda , Farquhar Jillian , Palazzo Maria , Siano Alfonso 
Published: July 2016

PurposeThis paper aims to extend corporate social responsibility (CSR) theory by exploring how firms engage with community. The community is frequently cited as a stakeholder of the firm, but in spite of its status in networks it has not been the focus of research. Drawing on community theory and Carroll’s pyramid for the foundation of this study, the authors undertake an empirical investigation to advance knowledge in CSR engagement with a particular stakeholder group.Design/methodology/approachTo generate an in-depth insight, the study adopts a multiple case study approach involving the purposeful selection of three retail banks in Ghana as units of analysis. It draws on multiple data sources to strengthen its findings.FindingsThe study finds that community engagement consists of four spheres of activity: donations, employee voluntarism, projects and partnerships. Philanthropy forms part of largelyad hocCSR actions by firms. The study also finds that philanthropy is not merely a desired function of the CSR pyramid but an essential one.Practical implicationsThis research imparts increased understanding of how firms engage with an important but frequently overlooked stakeholder group – community.Originality/valueThis study presents specific theoretical extensions to CSR through its identification of four core activities of community engagement.
Cooperative behaviour and place branding: a longitudinal case study in Italy
Authors: Rinaldi Chiara , Cavicchi Alessio 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to understand the motivations driving cooperative behaviour between heterogeneous stakeholders in place-branding activities, focusing on contract-based and relation-based cooperation constructs.

Design/methodology/approach
The longitudinal case study method is used to help understanding how the investigated network has evolved over four years from an attempt to build a regional umbrella-brand to a network contract between 13 enterprises.

Findings
The findings suggest that the relationships of trust and shared values among stakeholders are essential to foster cooperation, but also that contract-based governance complements a relation-based governance, enhancing the performance of the alliance.

Research limitations/implications
The main limitation is related to the case study methodology, as results are strongly dependent on the specific characteristics of the stakeholders and the geographical area analysed.

Social implications
The role of stakeholders in building a place brand is increasingly important. When analysing cooperative behaviour drivers, more attention should be paid to such intangible assets as social, human, relational and organisational capital.

Originality/value
This longitudinal case study emphasises that for success in place-branding activities, contract-based cooperation can be particularly useful at the beginning of a network alliance, while relation-based cooperation ensures the strength and continuity of the partnership but it takes time to develop. Responsible leaders, working as relationship facilitators/enablers, are important to keep network members engaged, by creating trust and favouring mutual beneficial relationships between stakeholders.

Published: July 2016

PurposeThis paper aims to develop a framework that links the concepts of place branding, place image and place reputation. Focusing on the antecedents and outcomes of place branding in the context of an emerging country, namely, Iran, the model further examines critical moderation variables.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach was undertaken, comprising face-to-face in-depth interviews with 15 respondents, involved in communicating about their country for various purposes such as encouraging tourism, promoting exports and attracting investments. Based on analysis of the qualitative data, a comprehensive framework for place branding was formulated.FindingsFindings indicate that the key indicators of identifying a place brand come under two headings, namely, national culture (country’s name, country’s brand, country attributes, social changes, geography and environment, people, culture (history, language, etc.) and infrastructure (security, economic condition, technological advancement, tourism development goals, place marketing and promotional strategy), which influences on the favorability of place branding. In addition, five main moderators of the outcomes of place branding were identified, namely, political perception, social media and news, place awareness, place association and tourism experience.Practical implicationsEffective place branding could help a country attract tourists, visitors, traders and investors. Place branding should be considered a constructive tool that can be successfully applied to managing a country’s image.Originality/valuePlace branding has received little attention in the context of emerging markets. This is the first known study undertaken with a view to understand and develop a place branding model that links with place image and place reputation in an emerging country. The study identifies 12 antecedents of place branding and five important moderators. Findings will help policymakers, country brand managers and communication professionals more generally who deal with a country’s image and reputation and those involved in improving the tourism industry in Iran.
A small molecule identified through an in silico screen inhibits Aurora B–INCENP interaction

Published: July 2016

Aurora B is a serine/threonine kinase that has a central role in the regulation of mitosis. The observation of Aurora B overexpression in cancer makes it a promising target to develop antitumoral inhibitors. We describe a new potential inhibitor that exclusively targets the interaction site of Aurora B and its activator INCENP. We performed a structure‐based virtual screening and determined five potential candidates of 200 000 compounds, which selectively bind to the Aurora B::INCENP interaction site, but not to the ATP‐binding site (kinase pocket) of Aurora B or other related kinases. Further characterization in vivo validated the inhibitory role of one of these five compounds in Aurora B::INCENP complex formation and exhibited hallmarks of Aurora inhibition such as chromosome congression and segregation defects that interfere with the progression into cytokinesis and result in multinuclear cells. Our results provide an alternative approach on the way of exploring specific kinase inhibitors.

SummaryBackgroundCobalt release from dental prostheses has been shown to elicit allergic reactions in cobalt‐allergic patients. It is therefore important to investigate whether these prostheses are possible sources of sensitization.ObjectivesTo assess (i) cobalt release from dental prostheses and (ii) allergic reactions to components of dental prostheses, and (iii) to investigate the oral mucosa for inflammation 1–5 years after insertion of the prostheses.MethodClinical oral examination was conducted in 66 patients with 84 dental prostheses. Cobalt release from 84 functional (used) and 32 non‐functional (new) prostheses was investigated with the cobalt spot test. Contact allergy was assessed by patch testing. Smear tests for Candida spp. were performed in patients showing signs of inflammation of the oral mucosa. The prostheses were assessed for biological and technical complications.ResultsNone of the functional prostheses released cobalt, whereas this was observed in 24 of 32 non‐functional prostheses. None of the patients had contact allergy to cobalt. Of the 66 patients, 11 showed signs of inflammation of the oral mucosa, 2 had oral candidiasis, 16 had ill‐fitting prostheses, and all had insufficient oral hygiene.ConclusionsDental prostheses released cobalt during the fabrication stages, but not 1–5 years after insertion. No allergic reactions were observed. Signs of inflammation were related to candidiasis, insufficient oral hygiene, and ill‐fitting prostheses.

AbstractAimsThe environmental and socio‐economic impacts of alien species need to be quantified in a way that makes impacts comparable. This allows managers to prioritize their control or removal based on impact scores that can be easily interpreted. Here we aim to score impacts of all known alien amphibians, compare them to other taxonomic groups and determine the magnitude of their ecological and socio‐economic impacts and how these scores relate to key traits.LocationGlobal.MethodsWe used the generic impact scoring system (GISS) to assess impacts. These impacts were compared to other previously assessed taxonomic groups (mammals, birds, freshwater fish, invertebrates and plants). For each species scored, we investigated the relationship of impacts with key variables (taxonomy, size, clutch size, habitat and native range) using general linear mixed models.ResultsOur data show that alien amphibians have similar impacts to other taxonomic groups, but comparatively fewer (41%) could be scored using available literature: < 7% of species had 71% of literature used for scoring. Concerning the environment, amphibians scored similar to birds and fish, but lower than mammals. Regarding socio‐economy, only seven species scored impacts, but these were surprisingly serious. Bufonids and pipids consistently scored higher than other amphibian taxa. Species with larger body size and more offspring had higher environmental impacts.Main conclusionsAlien amphibians appear to be comparable to other taxa such as birds and freshwater fish in their environmental and socio‐economic impact magnitude. However, there is insufficient literature to score impacts of the majority of alien amphibians, with socio‐economic impacts particularly poorly represented.

Authors: Shah Emily , Lodh Rajib , Siddell Poppy , Morrall Matthew C H J 
Published: July 2016

ObjectiveTo systematically review literature reporting interventions for weight change following paediatric acquired brain injury (ABI).MethodA systematic search of the literature was conducted using advanced search techniques. The retrieval identified 1562 papers, of which 30 were relevant. The total number of paediatric participants was 759.ResultsThere is a paucity of higher quality evidence to support the use of weight change interventions following paediatric ABI. Substantial variation in screening, outcome measures, intervention, and reporting were demonstrated. Some support was found for the use of hypothalamic‐sparing surgery as a method to prevent obesity following craniopharyngioma resection.InterpretationThere is a need for further study in this area to inform clinical and research practice; recommendations are given.

Published: July 2016

AbstractBackground and aimIt is widely acknowledged that children should participate in healthcare decisions, service development and even setting research agendas. Dental traumatology is a major component of paediatric dentistry practice and research. However, little is known about young patients’ contribution to new knowledge in this field. The aim of the study was to establish the extent to which children are involved in contemporary dental trauma research and to evaluate the quality of the related literature.Material and methodsA systematic review of the dental trauma literature was conducted from 2006 to 2014. The electronic databases, MEDLINE and Scopus, were used to identify relevant studies. The selected papers were independently examined by five calibrated reviewers. Studies were categorized by the degree of children's involvement and appraised using a validated quality assessment tool.ResultsThe initial search yielded 4374 papers. After application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 96 studies remained. Research on children accounted for 87.5% of papers, and a proxy was involved in 4.2%. Children were engaged to some degree in only 8.3% of studies, and there were no studies where children were active research participants. In the quality assessment exercise, papers scored, on average, 57% (range = 14–86%).ConclusionThere is scope to encourage more active participation of children in dental trauma research in the future. Furthermore, there are some areas where the quality of research could be improved overall.
Volatiles from Botrytis cinerea‐infected and healthy berries of Vitis vinifera influence the oviposition behaviour of Epiphyas postvittana
Authors: Rizvi S.Z.M. , Raman A. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractInteractions among plants, plant‐feeding insects, and plant–pathogenic fungi are partially mediated by volatile compounds. Herbivorous insects use sensory cues to choose host plants for feeding and/or oviposition that are likely to support survival and development of progeny. It is known that some fungus‐induced alterations in plants can modify plant volatiles, which are recognized by the olfactory receptors of the insect, either as an attractant or as a deterrent. We tested for the presence of behaviour‐modifying volatiles emanating from the berries of Vitis vinifera L. (Vitaceae) infected with Botrytis cinerea Pers. (Helotiales). We tested the olfactory behaviour of adults of Epiphyas postvittana Walker (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to these volatiles using two‐choice and wind‐tunnel experiments. We hypothesized that olfactory cues influence E. postvittana's oviposition behaviour. We found that volatiles emanating from B. cinerea‐infected berries did not significantly attract the gravid females of E. postvittana; consequently, they laid significantly fewer eggs on infected berries. Furthermore, significantly fewer females of E. postvittana were found attracted to infected berries in the wind tunnel assay. Ethanol and 3‐methyl‐1‐butanol were abundant in B. cinerea‐infected berries. Oviposition assays made with laboratory standards of ethanol and 3‐methyl‐1‐butanol confirmed their role in regulating the olfactory behaviour of E. postvittana site selection.

AbstractBacteria in nature often live within biofilms, exopolymeric matrices that provide a favorable environment that can differ markedly from their surroundings. Biofilms have been found growing on mineral surfaces and are expected to play a role in weathering those surfaces, but a clear understanding of how environmental factors, such as trace‐nutrient limitation, influence this role is lacking. Here, we examine biofilm development byPseudomonas putidain media either deficient or sufficient in Fe during growth on biotite, an Fe rich mineral, or on glass. We hypothesized that the bacteria would respond to Fe deficiency by enhancing biotite dissolution and by the formation of binding sites to inhibit Fe leaching from the system. Glass coupons acted as a no‐Fe control to investigate whether biofilm response depended on the presence of Fe in the supporting solid. Biofilms grown on biotite, as compared to glass, had significantly greater biofilm biomass, specific numbers of viable cells (SNVC), and biofilm cation concentrations of K, Mg, and Fe, and these differences were greater when Fe was deficient in the medium. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that biofilm growth altered the biotite surface, smoothing the rough, jagged edges of channels scratched by hand on the biotite, and dissolving away small, easy‐to‐access particles scattered across the planar surface. High‐resolution magic angle spinning proton nuclear magnetic resonance (HRMAS1HNMR) spectroscopy showed that, in the Fe‐deficient medium, the relative amount of polysaccharide nearly doubled relative to that in biofilms grown in the medium amended with Fe. The results imply that the bacteria responded to the Fe deficiency by obtaining Fe from biotite and used the biofilm matrix to enhance weathering and as a sink for released cation nutrients. These results demonstrate one mechanism by which biofilms may help soil microbes overcome nutrient deficiencies in oligotrophic systems.

Published: July 2016

IntroductionDespite the availability of subcutaneous desmopressin (1‐deamino‐8‐d‐arginine vasopressin, SC‐DDAVP) as a haemostatic agent for children with mild bleeding disorders, few publications specifically address the safety or efficacy of this mode of administration.AimOur aim was to assess whether a defined fluid restriction protocol was effective in preventing hyponatremia in children receiving perioperative SC‐DDAVP, and to document adequate biological and clinical response in this setting.MethodsWe retrospectively analysed a cohort of children with mild bleeding disorders prescribed SC‐DDAVP over a 5‐year period following institution of a ‘two‐thirds maintenance’ fluid restriction protocol.ResultsSixty‐nine patients received SC‐DDAVP following this protocol, including 15 with mild haemophilia A, 49 with von Willebrand disease (VWD) and five with platelet storage pool disorder. In patients who underwent formal preoperative assessment a complete or partial response was observed in 28/29 with type 1 VWD and 14/15 with mild haemophilia A. Perioperative SC‐DDAVP provided excellent haemostasis in all patients, with no requirement for factor concentrate or blood products. Mild asymptomatic hyponatremia was detected in seven children who received multiple doses of DDAVP (lowest sodium 129 mmol L−1); however, adherence to the prescribed fluid restriction protocol was questionable in six of these cases. Symptomatic hyponatremia was not observed.ConclusionSubcutaneous desmopressin was well‐tolerated, with no serious side‐effects observed, and good biological responses in preoperative trials. A two‐thirds maintenance fluid regimen was effective at preventing symptomatic hyponatremia in our cohort, and is now the standard protocol for fluid restriction post‐DDAVP administration in our centre.
