Evaluation of Alternatives to Winter Closure of Black Sea Bass Pot Gear: Projected Impacts on Catch and Risk of Entanglement with North Atlantic Right Whales Eubalaena glacialis
Authors: Farmer Nicholas A. , Gowan Timothy A. , Powell Jessica R. , Zoodsma Barbara J. 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Time–area closures have been widely used in fisheries management to prevent overfishing and reduce the bycatch of protected species. Due to quota overages and concerns about entanglement of federally protected North Atlantic right whales Eubalaena glacialis, the commercial harvest of Black Sea Bass Centropristis striata using pot gear has been prohibited in the southeastern United States in winter since 2009. Following the rebuilding of the Black Sea Bass stock and a change to the start date of the fishing year, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) increased the commercial annual catch limit (ACL) and is considering twelve alternatives to the pot gear closure that would revise the timing and/or spatial extent of the closure. Changes to this closure could affect the annual catch of Black Sea Bass and increase the risk of right whale entanglement in pot gear. Using historical fishing effort, landings, and right whale sightings data, we projected Black Sea Bass landings and the relative risk of right whale entanglement for each closure alternative, expressed in relative risk units (RRU). We predict that the ACL would be caught, resulting in an in-season closure for most of the proposed SAFMC closure alternatives. The relative risk of entanglement, estimated from the spatial and temporal overlap of Black Sea Bass pot gear fishing effort and right whale relative abundance, was lower for some alternatives than for others, and the relative differences between alternatives were consistent among uncertainty scenarios. The SAFMC's preferred alternative is projected to result in a relatively low increase in risk to North Atlantic right whales (3–15 RRU off North Carolina and 1–12 RRU off Florida–South Carolina). This framework demonstrates the use of temporally dynamic spatial overlays in assessing the impacts of time–area closures with multiple objectives.

A Novel Algorithm for the Maximal Fit Problem in Boolean Networks
Authors: Karlebach Guy 
Published: June 2016

AbstractGene regulatory networks (GRNs) are increasingly used for explaining biological processes with complex transcriptional regulation. A GRN links the expression levels of a set of genes via regulatory controls that gene products exert on one another. Boolean networks are a common modeling choice since they balance between detail and ease of analysis. However, even for Boolean networks the problem of fitting a given network model to an expression dataset is NP-Complete. Previous methods have addressed this issue heuristically or by focusing on acyclic networks and specific classes of regulation functions. In this paper we introduce a novel algorithm for this problem that makes use of sampling in order to handle large datasets. Our algorithm can handle time series data for any network type and steady state data for acyclic networks. Using in-silico time series data we demonstrate good performance on large datasets with a significant level of noise.
Intellectual structure of trust in business and management: a co-citation analysis
Authors: Yang Keng-Chieh 
Published: June 2016

PurposeIn the past few decades, there has been a lot of literature about trust research for business and management. However, few authors have applied co-citation analysis.Design/methodology/approachTrust is one of the most discussed issues in management, as it has proved to have an essential role in business operations. In this study, all citation documents are included in Thomson Reuters ISI Web of Knowledge database from 1992 to 2010.FindingsBy using statistics analysis including factor analysis, cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling, researchers identified four domains, including organizational behaviour, strategic alliance, marketing and social capital. Directions for future research are discussed.Originality/valueThis study is the first to apply co-citation techniques in the fields of trust. Therefore, the major contribution of this study is to provide an intellectual structure and trends within the field of trust from an objective and quantitative perspective.
Research on feature-based opinion mining using topic maps
Authors: Xia Lixin , Wang Zhongyi , Chen Chen , Zhai Shanshan 
Published: June 2016

Purpose
Opinion mining (OM), also known as “sentiment classification”, which aims to discover common patterns of user opinions from their textual statements automatically or semi-automatically, is not only useful for customers, but also for manufacturers. However, because of the complexity of natural language, there are still some problems, such as domain dependence of sentiment words, extraction of implicit features and others. The purpose of this paper is to propose an OM method based on topic maps to solve these problems.

Design/methodology/approach
Domain-specific knowledge is key to solve problems in feature-based OM. On the one hand, topic maps, as an ontology framework, are composed of topics, associations, occurrences and scopes, and can represent a class of knowledge representation schemes. On the other hand, compared with ontology, topic maps have many advantages. Thus, it is better to integrate domain-specific knowledge into OM based on topic maps. This method can make full use of the semantic relationships among feature words and sentiment words.

Findings
In feature-level OM, most of the existing research associate product features and opinions by their explicit co-occurrence, or use syntax parsing to judge the modification relationship between opinion words and product features within a review unit. They are mostly based on the structure of language units without considering domain knowledge. Only few methods based on ontology incorporate domain knowledge into feature-based OM, but they only use the “is-a” relation between concepts. Therefore, this paper proposes feature-based OM using topic maps. The experimental results revealed that this method can improve the accuracy of the OM. The findings of this study not only advance the state of OM research but also shed light on future research directions.

Research limitations/implications
To demonstrate the “feature-based OM using topic maps” applications, this work implements a prototype that helps users to find their new washing machines.

Originality/value
This paper presents a new method of feature-based OM using topic maps, which can integrate domain-specific knowledge into feature-based OM effectively. This method can improve the accuracy of the OM greatly. The proposed method can be applied across various application domains, such as e-commerce and e-government.
The career decisions of professional women with dependent children
Authors: Woolnough Helen , Redshaw Jane 
Published: June 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to investigate anticipated and real career decisions made by two cohorts of professional women in the UK at differing stages of the lifespan.

Design/methodology/approach
Career decisions made by two cohorts of professional women following the birth of their first child at different stages of the lifespan and satisfaction with these choices in retrospect were investigated. Data analysis followed a thematic approach, and comparisons between the two cohorts were made.

Findings
The study revealed much similarity between the two cohorts. The decisions women make regarding whether to return to work or not and the extent to which they are satisfied with their working arrangements are constrained by similar individual and organisational factors despite the 15-20 year gap.

Research limitations/implications
Although mothers in the UK now experience strengthened legislation concerning maternity benefits and entitlements and there have been advances in flexible working, progress in relation to supporting women in reconciling work and home life when they return to work is arguably limited.

Originality/value
This paper offers insights into the extent to which the career decisions made by professional women following the birth of their first child and satisfaction with these choices in retrospect have changed (or not) among two cohorts of professional women (15-20 years apart). The findings stress the importance of understanding the complex issues faced by mothers in the workforce and providing appropriate organisational support.
A three factor model of followership: part 1– introduction to followership, leadership and the three factor model of leadership
Authors: Manning Tony , Robertson Bob 
Published: June 2016

Purpose
– While there is an extensive body of theory and research on leadership, less attention has been paid to other work roles, including follower roles. The purpose of this paper is to explain and justify a three factor model of followership as a basis for exploring the role of followers, establishing what makes an effective follower and discussing the training and development of followers. This is the first part of a three part paper. It reviews previous theory and research on followership, before describing the three factor model of leadership and considering how it can be applied to followership.

Design/methodology/approach
– The first part of this paper consists mainly of a literature review on followership, and a description of the three factor model of leadership. The second and third parts of the paper outline the approach to the empirical research.

Findings
– The overall findings of this three part paper: provide empirical evidence to support the three factor model of leadership; justify the extension of the model to other work roles, including follower roles; allow the development of a three factor framework of follower behaviours.

Research limitations/implications
– The three factor model of followership shows that followership and leadership are not fundamentally different. Indeed, the skills that leaders need in their roles develop out of and build on those needed in follower roles. The essential difference is in the contrasting roles of leader and follower in which they are used. The research findings are based mainly on individuals in the public sector in the UK. Further research on other populations would be useful.

Practical implications
– Effective organisations need effective followers and effective leaders. Moreover, the skills of the effective leader develop out of and build on those of the effective follower.

Social implications
– The view of followership expressed in this paper is a challenge to the widely held pre-occupation with leadership and, more generally, to the cult of leadership.

Originality/value
– This is the first published attempt to apply the three factor model of leadership to followership. Evidence is presented on the internal reliability and external validity of measures of leadership and followership. Scales were developed to distinguish between leader and follower roles and used to describe behaviours characteristic of such roles, as well as behaviours valued in these roles, based on 360 degree assessments.
Breaking the glass ceiling: opportunity for the organization
Authors: Sahoo Debashish Kumar , Lenka Usha 
Published: June 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to decipher the benefits of breaking the glass ceiling in the organization, providing strategies to overcome it, and discussing the benefits availed by the organization in bringing more participation from women in middle and senior level management.Design/methodology/approach– This paper critically analyses the literature on women’s contribution to the organization’s success, their barriers to their advancement to corporate hierarchy, and breaking the glass ceiling, supported by appropriate theories.Findings– Gender diversity initiatives are perquisite for an organization ' s success and performance because presence of more women in the organization increases firm’s productivity. It is because more participation of female employees offers organizations a wide range of resources, ideas, skills, and energy to the business, providing a competitive edge against the competitors.Research limitations/implications– With understanding the benefits of gender diversity initiatives, an organization will emphasize more on the development of female employees personally and professionally. This, in turn, will help organizations in terms of productivity.Originality/value– Originality and value with understanding the benefits of gender diversity initiatives in an organization can focus more on growth and development aspects of female employees by breaking the glass ceiling and recognizing their competencies, qualifications, and achievement. This will lead to more participation of women in every echelon of management, resulting in firm performance.
Examining the impact of leadership style and coaching on employees’ commitment and trust
Authors: Behery Mohamed , Al-Nasser Amjad 
Published: June 2016

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to analytically extend the understanding of leadership styles and organisational coaching and their influence on organisational outcomes and workplace counterproductive behaviours within a non-Western context, i.e. the United Arab Emirates (UAE).Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a sample size of 656 participants from 14 different business sectors in the Emirates was used. The meta-analysis concept of latent variables and non-linear principal components analysis, along with the corresponding methodology of structural equation modelling, were implemented.FindingsThe study finds that organisational coaching has a significant positive effect on transactional leadership and has a significant influence on job alienation. Interestingly, coaching has a significant effect on commitment and counterproductive workplace behaviours. The detailed data analysis usingFtests and independentt-tests, when applicable, indicated that there was a tendency for older employees to have more favourable attitudes towards transformational leadership or commitment but not towards coaching.Originality/valueDespite the popularity of the presented topic in today's organisations, research in a Middle East context has not kept pace with its counterpart in Western areas of the world. The present study attempts to bridge the gap between Western theories in developed countries and under-researched Eastern countries, namely, the UAE, and to test the impact of leadership styles and organisational coaching and their influence on employee commitment and trust mediated by job bullying and job alienation.
Survey of formal and informal labour relations in contemporary Russian businesses
Authors: Chilipenok Yulia , Gaponova Olga 
Published: June 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to address issues related to informal relationships in modern Russian organisations, namely, the extent of these relationships, the conditions of their existence and their connection with formal relations.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper contains a discussion of the relevant theoretical issues and a presentation of empirical research conducted by the authors through a survey of the staff of a number of businesses based in major cities of the Russian Federation. The study also includes an analysis of an expert survey of top managers and an assessment of the role of the informal component in the social and labour cooperation of workers and employers in modern Russian organisations.

Findings
It is concluded that with the further advancement of Russia towards establishing an effective market economy, there is a general trend towards a reduction in the role of personal relationships in social and labour relations, although a complete rejection of protectionism in this area is not possible because of certain peculiarities of the Russian mentality.

Practical implications
Knowledge and understanding of the Russian national identity and its influence on the informal component of workplace labour issues will enable managers to be more effective in building and developing modern international business relations.

Originality/value
The paper studies a unique set of empirical data obtained by using authoring tools carefully tailored to the specific conditions of Russia. The results of the study will enable more effective management of informal relations in modern organisations.
Change-oriented organizational citizenship behavior
Authors: Simo Pep , Sallan Jose M. , Fernandez Vicenc , Enache Mihaela 
Published: June 2016

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between a challenging dimension of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and self-regulatory focus in an academic work setting. Job performance indicators were included to assess the nomological validity of regulatory focus measures.Design/methodology/approachData were collected using a questionnaire conducted with 251 Spanish academic workers. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.FindingsResults reveal the existence of positive relationships between promotion focus and two of the outcomes: change-oriented OCB and research-oriented performance-enhancement intention. On the other hand, prevention focus had only a significant relationship with teacher-oriented performance-enhancement intention.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitations of this research are twofold: on the one hand, further research should overcome the methodological limitations related with data gathering, looking for third-party measures of performance and favoring longitudinal data collection designs. On the other hand, more research is needed on the malleability of regulatory focus, defining models when prevention and promotion focus act as mediating variables.Practical implicationsIndividuals with high levels of promotion focus will put their efforts on the tasks which are more valued in the processes of tenure, promotion and compensation. On the other hand, individuals with high levels of prevention focus will tend to meet the minimum of requirements and accomplish salient job duties. That can be taken into account when defining human resource policies, giving a high weight in the assessment of tenure and promotion programs to the tasks where the organization wants their promotion focus individuals to center their attention.Originality/valueThis paper is one of the first efforts of validating the Regulatory Focus at Work Scale in organizational and academic contexts different from the initial validation study. The study also contributes to research on the antecedents of change-oriented OCBs, and defines new measures of intentions to perform in specific working activities.
The role of Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) in cardiac ischaemic‐reperfusion injury, cardioprotection and preconditioning
Authors: Lee Sam Man , Hutchinson Mark , Saint David A 
Published: June 2016

SummaryCardiac ischaemic‐reperfusion injury (IRI) remains the primary cause of mortality throughout the developed world. Molecular mechanisms underlying IRI are complex and are often interlinked with each other driving a synergistic response. Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4), an immunosurveillance receptor, is known to enhance tissue injury during IRI by enhancing the inflammatory response. The release of endogenous components during IRI bind onto TLR4 leading to the activation of multiple signalling kinases. Once this event occurs these proteins are defined as danger associated molecular patterns molecules (DAMPs) or alarmins. Examples include heat shock proteins, high mobility group box one (HMGB1) and extracellular matrix proteins, all of which are involved in IRI. However, literature in the last two decades suggests that transient stimulation of TLR4 may suppress IRI and thus improve cardiac recovery. Furthermore, it remains to be seen what role TLR4 plays during ischaemic‐preconditioning where acute bouts of ischaemia, preceding a harmful bout of ischaemic‐reperfusion, is cardioprotective. The other question which also needs to be considered is that if transient TLR4 signalling drives a preconditioning response then what are the ligands which drive this? Hence the second part of this review explores the possible TLR4 ligands which may promote cardioprotection against IRI.
The accuracy of cell‐free fetal DNA‐based non‐invasive prenatal testing in singleton pregnancies: a systematic review and bivariate meta‐analysis
Authors: Mackie FL , Hemming K , Allen S , Morris RK , Kilby MD 
Published: June 2016

BackgroundCell‐free fetal DNA (cffDNA) non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is rapidly expanding, and is being introduced at varying rates depending on country and condition.ObjectivesDetermine accuracy of cffDNA‐based NIPT for all conditions. Evaluate influence of other factors on test performance.Search strategyMedline, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, from 1997 to April 2015.Selection criteriaCohort studies reporting cffDNA‐based NIPT performance in singleton pregnancies.Data collection and analysisBivariate or univariate meta‐analysis and subgroup analysis performed to explore influence of test type and population risk.Main resultsA total of 117 studies were included that analysed 18 conditions. Bivariate meta‐analysis demonstrated sensitivities and specificities, respectively, for: fetal sex, 0.989 (95% CI 0.980–0.994) and 0.996 (95% CI 0.989–0.998), 11 179 tests; rhesus D, 0.993 (95% CI 0.982–0.997) and 0.984 (95% CI 0.964–0.993), 10 290 tests; trisomy 21, 0.994 (95% CI 0.983–0.998) and 0.999 (95% CI 0.999–1.000), 148 344 tests; trisomy 18, 0.977 (95% CI 0.952–0.989) and 0.999 (95% CI 0.998–1.000), 146 940 tests; monosomy X, 0.929 (95% CI 0.741–0.984) and 0.999 (95% CI 0.995–0.999), 6712 tests. Trisomy 13 was analysed by univariate meta‐analysis, with a summary sensitivity of 0.906 (95% CI 0.823–0.958) and specificity of 1.00 (95% CI 0.999–0.100), from 134 691 tests. False and inconclusive results were poorly reported across all conditions. Although the test type affected both sensitivity and specificity, there was no evidence that population risk had any effect.ConclusionPerformance of cffDNA‐based NIPT is affected by condition under investigation. For fetal sex and rhesus D status, NIPT can be considered diagnostic. For trisomy 21, 18, and 13, the lower sensitivity, specificity, and disease prevalence, combined with the biological influence of confined placental mosaicism, designates it a screening test. These factors must be considered when counselling patients and assessing the cost of introduction into routine care.Tweetable abstractcffDNA NIPT accuracy high, can be diagnostic for fetal sex and rhesus D, but only screening test in aneuploidy.
