Identity and difference – re-thinking UK South Asian entrepreneurship
Authors: McPherson Mark Christopher 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
This paper, which is part of a larger study, aims to discuss from an ethno-cultural perspective, the notion of self-identification and difference pertaining to first and second-generation South Asian male entrepreneurs. In essence, previous studies have not explored this dimension to any sufficient depth. Therefore, evidence is unclear as to how ethno-culture has informed entrepreneurial identity and difference.

Design/methodology/approach
Adopting a phenomenological research paradigm, 42 semi-structured interviews were conducted with first- and second-generation Sikh and Pakistani Muslim male entrepreneurs in Greater London. A typology of second-generation entrepreneurs is developed and a research agenda proposed.

Findings
First-generation respondents regard the UK as home and do not suffer from shifts in identity. These particular respondents identify themselves as Sikh or Pakistani Muslim or a Businessman. However, the second-generation identify themselves via three distinct labels. Here respondents stress their ethnicity by using Hyphenated British identities or hide their ethnicity behind the term a Normal Businessman, or appear opportunists by using ethnicity as a resource to espouse a true entrepreneurial identity.

Research limitations/implications
The research environment within the Greater London area where the respondents are located may not be as generalisable when compared with other parts of the UK.

Originality/value
This paper offers a unique insight into self-prescribed identity and difference noted among London’s ethnic entrepreneurs.
Between a business and a social enterprise
Authors: Islam Durdana , Berkes Fikret 
Published: September 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the function of an Indigenous commercial fishery at Norway House Cree Nation as a social enterprise, and to examine its potential to enhance community economic development.Design/methodology/approachThe research was conducted in three phases, and the outcome of each phase was used as an input for the next phase. In the first phase, questionnaire surveys were administered among commercial fishing households. In the second phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with key informants, and in the third, with fisheries experts, food development experts and government officials.FindingsNorway House Fisherman’s Co-op functions as a social enterprise mainly because commercial fishers contribute to local food security by sharing fish, and the Co-op operates additional businesses which contribute to job creation and community economic development.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was carried out in only one community and commercial fishery from northern Manitoba, and the results will not be directly applicable elsewhere.Practical implicationsThis research provides recommendations for further development of commercial fisheries at Norway House: fuller use of existing fish resources, value-added economic development and creative use of regulatory options.Originality/valueThe Co-op is identified as the engine of community development. It functions well, but there are additional opportunities for development, such as reducing the discard of lower value fish, which is consistent with indigenous Cree cultural values of not wasting resources.
Response of thermoelastic functionally graded beam due to ramp type heating in modified couple stress with dual-phase-lag model
Authors: Kumar Rajneesh , Devi Shaloo 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the thermoelastic functionally graded beam in a modified couple stress theory subjected to a dual-phase-lag model.

Design/methodology/approach
The governing equations are solved by using the Euler-Bernoulli beam assumption and the Laplace transform technique. The lateral deflection, temperature change, displacement component, axial stress and thermal moment of the beam are obtained by ramp type heating in the transformed domain. A general algorithm of the inverse Laplace transform is developed to recover the results in a physical domain.

Findings
The lateral deflection, temperature change, displacement component, axial stress and thermal moment of the beam are computed numerically and presented graphically to show the effect of ramp time parameter and phase lags of heating.

Originality/value
Comparisons are made in the absence and presence of coupled dual-phase-lag thermoelastic and coupled thermoelastic L-S theories and also different values of ramp type parameter.
Brinkman ferroconvection
Authors: Ravisha M. , Shivakumara I.S. , R. Gangadhara Reddy 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
The simultaneous effects of local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) and vertical heterogeneity in permeability on the onset of ferromagnetic convection in a Brinkman porous medium are analyzed in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field. The eigenvalue problem is solved numerically using shooting method for isothermal rigid-ferromagnetic boundaries for various forms of vertically stratified permeability function Γ(z). The effect of vertically stratified permeability is found to either hasten or delay the onset of ferromagnetic convection. The deviation in the critical Rayleigh number between different forms of Γ(z) is found to be not so significant with an increase in the Darcy number. It is observed that the general quadratic variation of Γ(z) has more destabilizing effect on the system when compared to the constant permeability porous medium case. Besides, the influence of LTNE and magnetic parameters on the criterion for the onset of ferromagnetic convection has been assessed in detail. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach
Ferroconvection in a porous medium has been analyzed considering heterogeneity in the permeability of the porous medium. The resulting eigenvalue problem has been solved numerically using shooting method as well as Galerkin method for realistic boundary conditions.

Findings
The novelty of the present study lies in understanding the effect of heterogeneity in the permeability of the porous medium on control of ferroconvection in a porous medium. In analyzing the problem, realistic boundary conditions are considered and the resulting eigenvalue problem is solved numerically using shooting method as well as Galerkin method.

Originality/value
Control of ferroconvection in a porous medium is an important feature in heat transfer-related problems and many mechanisms are being used to understand this aspect in the literature. The novelty of the present study lies in recognizing the effect of heterogeneity in the permeability of the porous medium on control of ferroconvection. This fact has been analyzed in detail for various forms of heterogeneity functions using numerical techniques by considering realistic boundary conditions.
The influence of status differentiation on vertical brand extension
Authors: Fang Xiang , Lin Shengdong 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
In this paper, the authors aim to propose that status differentiation, the extent to which people differentiate their behaviors or attribute power to others according to perceived status differences, moderates the effect of stretch direction upward or downward and brand image prestige or functional on consumers 2019 responses to line extensions.

Design/methodology/approach
This study was a 2 (culture: Chinese vs American) × 2 (stretch direction: up vs down) × 2 (brand image: prestige vs functional) experiment design. Study 2 was a 2 (status differentiation: high vs low) × 2 (stretch direction: up vs down) × 2 (brand image: prestige vs functional) experiment design.

Findings
The results of two studies show that high status differentiation has a positive prestige-enhancement effect on an upward extension but a detrimental effect on a downward extension. This effect is more pronounced for prestige brands than for functional brands. In addition, the authors have found similar patterns for the prestige perceptions of the parent brands after extension.

Research limitations/implications
This research makes important contributions to the fields of cross-cultural psychology. The status differentiation beliefs could be primed temporarily and had a significant impact on individuals’ responses to line extension.

Practical implications
The research identifies status differentiation as an important factor for marketers to consider when extending their brands to global markets.

Originality/value
Past research on vertical extensions has examined numerous factors influencing consumers’ responses. This paper is the only one to examine culture factor.
The changing nature of strategic collaboration
Authors: Goode Graham 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
The purpose of the paper is to highlight the use of equity participation as an emerging strategic collaboration response to the turbulent conditions caused by digital disruption in the UK broadcast media industry.

Design/methodology/approach
The research is based on quantitative content analysis of 169 reported instances of strategic collaboration in the period 2010-2016.

Findings
The findings show that equity participation, as a collaborative strategy in the UK media industry, has emerged to become the predominant form of collaboration, compared to traditional forms of collaboration. The findings show that, for equity participation, a majority of stated motivations of both partners are to gain access to complementary capabilities and to reduce barriers to market entry. For the lead partner, this form of collaboration provides the capabilities to allow the other, often smaller partner, to maintain creative autonomy and agility while gaining access to the resources, content, talent and people expertise that strengthens both partners’ strategic positions.

Originality/value
For strategy managers, the research highlights the benefits of equity participation as a collaborative strategy in terms of dynamic response and risk-sharing, based on an industry experiencing turbulent conditions as a result of digital disruption.
Lessons from the steel industry: if you can’t compete on price, innovate your way to value-added differentiation
Authors: Blitz Amy 
Published: September 2017

Purpose
Threats from low cost competitors are a fact of markets, a trend likely not just to continue in coming years but to accelerate. The fundamental strategic question the authors consider is how best to compete when competing on price alone is not a realistic option.

Design/methodology/approach
This case details how Korea’s POSCO steel company has successfully pivoted from competing on price to competing on innovation.

Findings
POSCO introduced new revenue-generating offerings as well as innovative cost-saving processes while also improving its environmental footprint.

Practical implications
POSCO began sending engineers to work directly with customers to identify areas of opportunity for specialized, differentiated, high value added steel products.

Originality/value
This case shows how POSCO managed to identify and address a host of unmet customer needs, introducing new revenue-generating offerings as well as cost-saving new processes while also improving the company’s environmental footprint, making it a desirable partner for customers concerned about having a socially responsible supply chain.

Published: September 2017

ABSTRACTHigh‐resolution aeromagnetic data over the Bida Basin, North Central Nigeria has been analysed to investigate the possible continuity of Ifewara fault zone, through the Bida Basin, to Zungeru fault zone. Analytic signal magnitude, horizontal gradient magnitude, and Euler deconvolution methods were applied to the aeromagnetic data to delineate the subsurface structures. The results showed that a prominent NNE–SSW trending fault associated with the Ifewara fault zone extends through the study area. Other faults trending in the ENE–WSW, NE–SW, NW–SE, E–W, and WNW–ESE directions were also mapped. Interpreted models revealed the presence of intrusives and a possible mineralised zone within the study area. We therefore concluded that the inferred fault zones within the basin have affinity with the trend of the Ifewara fault zone, which is an indication of possible extension and linkage with Zungeru fault zone through the Bida Basin.
Seismic data interpolation using generalised velocity‐dependent seislet transform
Authors: Liu Yang , Zhang Peng , Liu Cai 
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACTData interpolation is an important step for seismic data analysis because many processing tasks, such as multiple attenuation and migration, are based on regularly sampled seismic data. Failed interpolations may introduce artifacts and eventually lead to inaccurate final processing results. In this paper, we generalised seismic data interpolation as a basis pursuit problem and proposed an iteration framework for recovering missing data. The method is based on non‐linear iteration and sparse transform. A modified Bregman iteration is used for solving the constrained minimisation problem based on compressed sensing. The new iterative strategy guarantees fast convergence by using a fixed threshold value. We also propose a generalised velocity‐dependent formulation of the seislet transform as an effective sparse transform, in which the non‐hyperbolic normal moveout equation serves as a bridge between local slope patterns and moveout parametres in the common‐midpoint domain. It can also be reduced to the traditional velocity‐dependent seislet if special heterogeneity parametre is selected. The generalised velocity‐dependent seislet transform predicts prestack reflection data in offset coordinates, which provides a high compression of reflection events. The method was applied to synthetic and field data examples, and the results show that the generalised velocity‐dependent seislet transform can reconstruct missing data with the help of the modified Bregman iteration even for non‐hyperbolic reflections under complex conditions, such as vertical transverse isotropic (VTI) media or aliasing.
Large woody debris “rewilding” rapidly restores biodiversity in riverine food webs

Published: September 2017

Abstract

Extensive habitat destruction and pollution have caused dramatic declines in aquatic biodiversity at local to global scales. In rivers, the reintroduction of large woody debris is a common method aimed at restoring degraded ecosystems through “rewilding.” However, causal evidence for its effectiveness is lacking due to a dearth of replicated before–after control‐impact field experiments.

We conducted the first replicated experiment of large woody debris rewilding across multiple rivers and organisational levels, from individual target species populations to entire food webs.

For the first time, we demonstrate causal links between habitat restoration, biodiversity restoration and food web responses. Populations of invertebrates and an apex predator, brown trout (Salmo trutta), increased, and food web analysis suggested increased biomass flux from basal resources to invertebrates and subsequently fishes within restored reaches.

Synthesis and applications. This study contributes significant new evidence demonstrating that large woody debris rewilding can help to restore human‐impacted river ecosystems, primarily through altering the abundance and biomass of consumers and resources in the food web. We also outline a means to gauge the magnitude of ecological responses to restoration, relative to environmental stressors, which could help to prioritise the most effective conservation efforts.

Published: September 2017

SummaryPrevious studies investigating the relationship between sodium intake and blood pressure have mostly relied on dietary recall and clinic blood pressure measurement. In this cross‐sectional study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between 24 hour urinary sodium and potassium excretion, and their ratio, with 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure parameters including nocturnal blood pressure dipping in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes. We report that in 116 patients with diabetes, systolic blood pressure was significantly predicted by the time of day, age, the interaction between dipping status with time, and 24 hour urinary sodium‐to‐potassium ratio (R2 = 0.83) with a relative contribution of 53%, 21%, 20% and 6%, respectively. However, there was no interaction between urinary sodium‐to‐potassium ratio and dipping status.

Published: September 2017

AbstractTrace DNA analysis is a significant part of a forensic laboratory's workload. Knowing optimal sampling strategies and item success rates for particular item types can assist in evidence selection and examination processes and shorten turnaround times. In this study, forensic short tandem repeat (STR) casework results were reviewed to determine how often STR profiles suitable for comparison were obtained from “handler” and “wearer” areas of 764 items commonly submitted for examination. One hundred and fifty‐five (155) items obtained from volunteers were also sampled. Items were analyzed for best sampling location and strategy. For casework items, headwear and gloves provided the highest success rates. Experimentally, eyeglasses and earphones, T‐shirts, fabric gloves and watches provided the highest success rates. Eyeglasses and latex gloves provided optimal results if the entire surfaces were swabbed. In general, at least 10%, and up to 88% of all trace DNA analyses resulted in suitable STR profiles for comparison.
Injury Patterns Sustained in Fatal Motor Vehicle Collisions with Driver's Third‐Generation Airbag Deployment
Authors: Kuk Mariya , Shkrum Michael J. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractThe Office of the Chief Coroner for Ontario database for 2011–2012 was used to compare fatal injury patterns in drivers whose third‐generation airbags deployed compared to first‐ and second‐generation airbag deployments and airbag nondeployments with and without seatbelt use. There were 110 frontal and offset frontal crashes analyzed. The small sample size meant that the odds of craniocerebral, cervical spinal, thoracic, and abdominal injuries were not statistically different for airbag generation, deployment status, and seatbelt use; however, the risk of fatal thoracic injuries in third‐ and second‐generation cases was increased. Seatbelt usage in third‐ and second‐generation deployment cases reduced the risk of all injuries except abdominal trauma. High severity impacts and occupant compartment intrusion were frequently observed. The analyses in this retrospective study were challenged by data that were not collated in a standardized way and were limited in details about scene, vehicle, and driver variables.
Developing aDNAbarcode library for perciform fishes in the South China Sea: Species identification, accuracy and cryptic diversity
Authors: Hou Gang , Chen Wei‐Tao , Lu Huo‐Sheng , Cheng Fei , Xie Song‐Guang 
Published: September 2017

AbstractDNAbarcodes were studied for 1,353 specimens representing 272 morphological species belonging to 149 genera and 55 families of Perciformes from the South China Sea (SCS). The average Kimura 2‐parameter (K2P) distances within species, genera and families were 0.31%, 8.71% and 14.52%, respectively. A neighbour‐joining (NJ) tree, Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum‐likelihood (ML) trees and Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) revealed 260, 253 and 259 single‐species‐representing clusters, respectively. Barcoding gap analysis (BGA) demonstrated that barcode gaps were present for 178 of 187 species analysed with multiple specimens (95.2%), with the minimum interspecific distance to the nearest neighbour larger than the maximum intraspecific distance. A group of threeThunnusspecies (T. albacares,T. obesusandT. tonggol), a pair ofGerresspecies (G. oyenaandG. japonicus), a pair ofIstiblenniusspecies (I. edentulousandI. lineatus) and a pair ofUranoscopusspecies (U. oligolepisandU. kaianus) were observed with low interspecific distances and overlaps between intra‐ and interspecific genetic distances. Three species (Apogon ellioti,Naucrates ductorandPsenopsis anomala) showed deep intraspecific divergences and generated two lineages each, suggesting the possibility of cryptic species. Our results demonstrated thatDNAbarcodes are highly reliable for delineating species of Perciformes in theSCS. TheDNAbarcode library established in this study will shed light on further research on the diversity of Perciformes in theSCS.
StructureSelector: A web‐based software to select and visualize the optimal number of clusters using multiple methods
Authors: Li Yu‐Long , Liu Jin‐Xian 
Published: September 2017

AbstractInferences of population genetic structure are of great importance to the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology. The program structure has been widely used to infer population genetic structure. However, previous studies demonstrated that uneven sampling often leads to wrong inferences on hierarchical structure. The most widely used ΔK method tends to identify the uppermost hierarchy of population structure. Recently, four alternative statistics (medmedk, medmeak, maxmedk and maxmeak) were proposed, which appear to be more accurate than the previously used methods for both even and uneven sampling data. However, the lack of easy‐to‐use software limits the use of these appealing new estimators. Here, we developed a web‐based user‐friendly software structureselector to calculate the four appealing alternative statistics together with the commonly used Ln Pr(X|K) and ΔK statistics. structureselector accepts the result files of structure, admixture or faststructure as input files. It reports the “best” K for each estimator, and the results are available as HTML or tab separated tables. The program can also generate graphical representations for specific K, which can be easily downloaded from the server. The software is freely available at http://lmme.qdio.ac.cn/StructureSelector/.
