Analyzing customer satisfaction: users perspective towards online shopping
Authors: Tandon Urvashi , Kiran Ravi , Sah Ash 
Published: June 2017

Purpose
This study aims to identify and analyse the key determinants influencing customer satisfaction towards online shopping in India.

Design/methodology/approach
The literature concerning major attributes of website functionality, perceived usability, perceived usefulness and customer satisfaction in online retailing were reviewed. Data were collected from 365 respondents active in online shopping for examining the constructs. The model was empirically tested using structural equation modelling.

Findings
The findings of the study reveal that perceived usefulness and website functionality have a positive impact on customer satisfaction, whereas perceived usability had a significant but negative impact on customer satisfaction.

Practical implications
This research will help online retailers to attract and motivate new customers for online shopping and existing customers to extend it in their daily purchase. Online retailers can improve post purchase satisfaction and eventually increase online customers.

Originality/value
This is one of the preliminary study dealing with customer satisfaction towards online retailing in India. The scale has been extended to include items like satisfaction with cash on delivery mode of payment not included in previous scales. The scale of perceived usefulness has also been deepened by adding time performance, product performance and promotional performance.
Understanding the categories of leader traits in socialization: the case of Haier group’s CEO in China
Authors: Xu Liguo , Pang Dalong , Ge Jing , Xi Youmin 
Published: June 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the categories of leader traits, their generation and their relationships in leaders’ socialization.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors take the case study method, which is the most suitable method to answer research questions on why and how to fulfill the study purpose on the basis of the case of Ruimin Zhang.

Findings
Leader traits are classified into four categories with respect to socialization, namely, root trait, driving trait, thinking trait and affair trait. The root trait and the driving trait form from the leader’s insight with the impact of key events, mutually promote and consolidate each other, and together derive the thinking trait and the affair trait on the basis of critical events, culture, family, education, etc. The thinking trait is the premise of the affair trait to be expressed in leadership behavior. The root trait and the driving trait together determine a leader’s growth direction and efficiency and can distinguish leaders from non-leaders. The thinking trait and the affair trait together determine the pattern and effectiveness of leadership behavior and can distinguish effective leadership from ineffective leadership.

Research limitations/implications
This study transcends prior integral leader trait research by categorizing leader traits from the socialization perspective, makes a clear delineation on the interrelationships among categories of leader traits, analyzes their holistic functions on the leaders, reveals the formation and relationship mechanism of leader traits and identifies the types of leader traits that can work as the standards for distinguishing effective leaders from ineffective leaders or non-leaders.

Originality/value
This study promotes the development of the leader trait theory in the classification, formations, relationships and overall effect of leader traits.

Strategic Agility: using Agile teams to explore opportunities for market-creating innovation
Authors: Denning Stephen 
Published: June 2017

Purpose
Describes how Agile teams can use strategic management tools and processes to discover market-creating innovations.

Design/methodology/approach
The related article “The next frontier for Agile: strategic management” in the previous issue of Strategy & Leadership explored the theory and possibilities of enterprise-wide Strategic Agility, a combination of Agile mindset and processes with strategic management theory to produce continuous market-creating innovation. This second installment offers insights from noted practitioners about implementing it.

Findings
The strategic concepts of Kim & Mauborgne’s Blue Ocean Strategy, Clayton Christensen’s Job to Be Done theory and Curt Carlson’s SRI Playbook – Need, Approach, Benefits per costs and Competition (NABC) can be adopted by Agile teams seeking innovations that create new customer value.

Practical implications
Identifying a well-defined Job to Be Done produces the start of an innovation blueprint which is unlike the traditional marketing concept of “needs” because of the much higher degree of specificity required to identify precisely what problem your potential solution would address.

Originality/value
Using strategic management concepts, Agile teams can redefine how needs are being met and in the process, discover value for customers from offering something or doing something that the company or the industry currently doesn’t provide.

Published: June 2017

ObjectivesTo examine how dual coverage for nonelderly, low‐income veterans by Veterans Affairs (VA) and Medicaid affects their demand for care.Data SourcesVeterans Affairs utilization data and Medicaid Analytic Extract Files.Study DesignA retrospective, longitudinal study of VA users prior to and following enrollment in Medicaid 2006–2010.Data Collection/Extraction MethodsVeterans Affairs reliance, or proportion of care provided by VA, was estimated with beta‐binomial models, adjusting for patient and state Medicaid program factors.Principal FindingsIn a cohort of 19,890 nonelderly veterans, VA utilization levels were similar before and after enrolling in Medicaid. VA outpatient reliance was 0.65, and VA inpatient reliance was 0.53 after Medicaid enrollment. Factors significantly associated with greater VA reliance included sociodemographic factors, having a service‐connected disability, comorbidity, and higher state Medicaid reimbursement. Factors significantly associated with less VA reliance included months enrolled in Medicaid, managed care enrollment, Medicaid eligibility type, longer drive time to VA care, greater Medicaid eligibility generosity, and better Medicaid quality.ConclusionVeterans Affairs utilization following new Medicaid enrollment remained relatively unchanged, and the VA continued to provide the large majority of care for dually enrolled veterans. There was variation among patients as Medicaid eligibility and other program factors influenced their use of Medicaid services.
Differences in egg hatching time between cyclical and obligate parthenogenetic lineages of aphids
Authors: Dedryver Charles‐Antoine , Bonhomme Joël , Le Gallic Jean‐François , Simon Jean‐Christophe 
Published: June 2017

AbstractMany aphid species exhibit a variation in reproductive mode which is influenced by winter climate regimes, with cyclical parthenogenetic (CP) lines dominating in cold winter areas (because they produce cold‐resistant eggs) and obligate parthenogenetic (OP) ones in mild winter regions (because of their parthenogenetic overwintering). Genetic studies on several aphid species have shown that the OP trait can be transmitted during sexual events involving the 2 types of lines. This genetic system could be considered as a local safeguarding mechanism for OP alleles in case severe frost would have killed all parthenogenetically overwintering individuals. However, this strategy would only be efficient in restoring local polymorphism in breeding systems if the newly hatched OP recombinants remain competitive over their CP counterparts. In this study we compared egg hatching sequences of CP and OP F1 clones from several crosses obtained for 2 cereal aphid species, Sitobion avenae (constant 5 °C, 8 h of light) and Rhopalosiphum padi (winter outdoor conditions). For S. avenae, we obtained F1 offspring from 6 crosses, involving 4 clones while in R. padi F1 were obtained from 11 crosses involving 14 clones. We showed that in both species proportions of OP clones were higher in the first half of the progeny relative to the second half. In addition, F1 OP clones hatched in the mean about a week earlier than their CP sibs, which gives them a demographic advantage at the start of the growth season. We then discussed the consequences of this fitness advantage for the maintenance and spread of the OP trait in aphid populations.

Published: June 2017

AbstractBackground/PurposeTo compare the performance of Disease Assessment Score of 28 joints – C‐reactive protein (DAS‐28‐CRP), Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) composite measures to assess status of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on methotrexate, versus DAS‐28 CRP as the gold standard.MethodsOne hundred and thirty‐five patients with RA as per the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism criteria were included in the prospective study. The disease activity was assessed at baseline and at every 6 weeks for 24 weeks, by DAS‐28‐CRP, CDAI and SDAI. Patients were divided into groups of remission, low, moderate and high activity on the basis of predefined cut‐offs for DAS‐28‐CRP, CDAI and SDAI. A Spearman correlation between composite measures and inter‐group comparison of the measures was performed.ResultsThere was an excellent positive correlation between DAS‐28‐CRP and CDAI (linear weighted κ baseline – 0.545), DAS‐28 CRP and SDAI (linear weighted κ – 0.689) at baseline. There was moderate agreement between DAS‐28‐CRP and CDAI (linear weighted κ final visit – 0.458) at final visit. There was moderate correlation between SDAI and DAS‐28‐CRP at final visit (linear weighted κ – 0.470). However, correlation between CDAI versus SDAI remained excellent at baseline and final visit. Patients in remission as per DAS‐28‐CRP had significantly more residual disease activity compared to SDAI and CDAI remission criteria.ConclusionThe study shows an excellent strong positive correlation between DAS‐28‐CRP, CDAI and SDAI at initial evaluation but not at final visit. SDAI‐ and CDAI‐based remission criteria seem to be better than DAS‐28‐CRP‐based remission criteria.
Use of intravenous iron polymaltose in the management of iron deficiency in pregnancy: A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Qassim Alaa , Gergis Rosina G. , Jeffries Bill , Grivell Rosalie M. , Grzeskowiak Luke E. 
Published: June 2017

BackgroundIntravenous iron polymaltose (IPM) is commonly utilised in pregnancy when oral treatment is not tolerated or where rapid replenishment of iron stores is required, but data on use in pregnancy is scarce.AimTo examine the use, safety and efficacy of intravenous IPM in pregnancy.MethodsRetrospective cohort study of pregnant women administered intravenous IPM between January 2014 and January 2016 at a Tertiary teaching hospital in Adelaide, Australia. Data on maternal characteristics, intravenous iron infusion details, and haematological parameters were collected from case notes and electronic records. Main outcome measures included indication for intravenous iron infusion, prevalence of infusion reactions, change in haemoglobin and correction of anaemia prior to delivery.ResultsIntravenous IPM was administered in 213 pregnancies, 62.0% of women with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and the remainder (38.0%) with non‐anaemic iron deficiency. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurred in 24% of women, of which 32% required infusion cessation. Anaemia was still present at delivery among 7%, and 17% of women with mild, and moderate/severe anaemia respectively. Approximately one in five anaemic women received an intravenous IPM dose below that recommended by the local guideline, particularly in women with a body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2 compared with <25 kg/m2 (30.9% vs 6.3%; P < 0.001). Doses ‘at recommended’ resulted in a greater increase in haemoglobin from treatment until delivery than doses ‘below recommended’ (adjusted beta coefficient 8.4 g/L; 95% CI 2.7–14.1 g/L).ConclusionIntravenous IPM is effective in treating IDA in pregnancy but is associated with a high prevalence of ADRs and treatment cessation.
Out‐of‐office hours’ elective surgical intensive care admissions and their associated complications
Authors: Morgan David J. R. , Ho Kwok Ming , Ong Yang Jian , Kolybaba Marlene L. 
Published: June 2017

BackgroundThe ‘weekend’ effect is a controversial theory that links reduced staffing levels, staffing seniority and supportive services at hospitals during ‘out‐of‐office hours’ time periods with worsening patient outcomes. It is uncertain whether admitting elective surgery patients to intensive care units (ICU) during ‘out‐of‐office hours’ time periods mitigates this affect through higher staffing ratios and seniority.MethodsOver a 3‐year period in Western Australia's largest private hospital, this retrospective nested‐cohort study compared all elective surgical patients admitted to the ICU based on whether their admission occurred ‘in‐office hours’ (Monday–Friday 08.00–18.00 hours) or ‘out‐of‐office hours’ (all other times). The main outcomes were surgical complications using the Dindo‐Clavien classification and length‐of‐stay data.ResultsOf the total 4363 ICU admissions, 3584 ICU admissions were planned following elective surgery resulting in 2515 (70.2%) in‐office hours and 1069 (29.8%) out‐of‐office hours elective ICU surgical admissions. Out‐of‐office hours ICU admissions following elective surgery were associated with an increased risk of infection (P = 0.029), blood transfusion (P = 0.020), total parental nutrition (P < 0.001) and unplanned re‐operations (P = 0.027). Out‐of‐office hours ICU admissions were also associated with an increased hospital length‐of‐stay, with (1.74 days longer, P < 0.0001) and without (2.8 days longer, P < 0.001) adjusting for severity of acute and chronic illnesses and inter‐hospital transfers (12.3 versus 9.8%, P = 0.024). Hospital mortality (1.2 versus 0.7%, P = 0.111) was low and similar between both groups.ConclusionOut‐of‐office hours ICU admissions following elective surgery is common and associated with serious post‐operative complications culminating in significantly longer hospital length‐of‐stays and greater transfers with important patient and health economic implications.
Political Ecologies of Global Health: Pesticide Exposure in Southwestern Ecuador's Banana Industry
Authors: Brisbois Ben Wesley , Harris Leila , Spiegel Jerry M. 
Published: June 2017

AbstractPesticide exposure in Ecuador's banana industry reflects political economic and ecological processes that interact across scales to affect human health. We use this case study to illustrate opportunities for applying political ecology of health scholarship in the burgeoning field of global health. Drawing on an historical literature review and ethnographic data collected in Ecuador's El Oro province, we present three main areas where a political ecological approach can enrich global health scholarship: perceptive characterization of multi‐scalar and ecologically entangled pathways to health outcomes; critical analysis of discursive dynamics such as competing scalar narratives; and appreciation of the environment‐linked subjectivities and emotions of people experiencing globalized health impacts. Rapprochement between these fields may also provide political ecologists with access to valuable empirical data on health outcomes, venues for engaged scholarship, and opportunities to synthesize numerous insightful case studies and discern broader patterns.

Published: June 2017

AbstractThe incidence of small bowel lymphoma (SBL) is increasing worldwide. In contrast to resectable SBL, the treatment of unresectable SBL is still contentious. Here, we report a case of unresectable SBL that was treated by laparoscopic exclusion of the affected intestine before systemic chemotherapy was administered. An 84‐year‐old man was diagnosed with primary SBL involving extranodal dissemination. The patient received prophylactic surgery, namely exclusion of the affected intestine. This therapy diminishes well‐known and life‐threatening complications, such as perforation, bleeding, and obstruction, which may still occur after chemotherapy, and it makes the administration of chemotherapy safer. In addition, the surgery provides easy access for direct endoscopic observation and biopsy, which are otherwise difficult to perform. Follow‐up after two courses of chemotherapy showed that the patient had achieved complete remission. In conclusion, the procedure described here may be an effective strategy for unresectable SBL.

Published: June 2017

AbstractAttention is a fundamental cognitive process involved in nearly all aspects of life. Abnormal attentional control is a symptom of many neurological disorders, most notably recognized in ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Although attentional performance and its malfunction has been a major area of investigation, it has proven difficult to accurately associate specific neuronal projections, cell types, neurotransmitter systems and receptors with distinct phenotypes owing to its complexity. In this MiniReview, we present a recently invented technology known as Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADDs). The DREADD technology is an emerging and transformative method that allows selective manipulation of G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling, and its broad‐ranging usefulness in attention research is now beginning to emerge. We first describe the different DREADDs available and explain how unprecedented specificity of neuronal signalling can be achieved using DREADDs. We next discuss various studies performed in animal models of visual attention, where different brain regions and neuronal populations have been probed by DREADDs. We highlight the interplay between the dopamine (DA) and noradrenaline (NA) catecholamine systems in visual attention and explain why DREADD technology can untangle and help us better understand such complex systems in normal and malfunctioning conditions.

Authors: Hornstra Lisette , Majoor Marieke , Peetsma Thea 
Published: June 2017

BackgroundThe multiple goal perspective posits that certain combinations of achievement goals are more favourable than others in terms of educational outcomes.AimsThis study aimed to examine longitudinally whether students’ achievement goal profiles and transitions between profiles are associated with developments in self‐reported and teacher‐rated effort and academic achievement in upper elementary school.SampleParticipants were 722 fifth‐grade students and their teachers in fifth and sixth grade (N = 68).MethodsStudents reported on their achievement goals and effort in language and mathematics three times in grade 5 to grade 6. Teachers rated students’ general school effort. Achievement scores were obtained from school records. Goal profiles were derived with latent profile and transition analyses. Longitudinal multilevel analyses were conducted.ResultsTheoretically favourable goal profiles (high mastery and performance‐approach goals, low on performance‐avoidance goals), as well as transitions from less to more theoretically favourable goal profiles, were associated with higher levels and more growth in effort for language and mathematics and with stronger language achievement gains.ConclusionsOverall, these results provide support for the multiple goal perspective and show the sustained benefits of favourable goal profiles beyond effects of cognitive ability and background characteristics.
