An empirical study on continuance intention of mobile social networking services
Authors: Gao Lingling , Bai Xuesong 
Published: March 2014

Purpose– Users' continuance intention is vital to the future of mobile social networking service (SNS) with rapid development and intensive competitions among its providers. The purpose of this research is to identify the factors affecting mobile SNS users' continuance intention.Design/methodology/approach– Data from an online survey administered to 228 mobile SNS users are used to test the research model through the use of structural equation modelling.Findings– The results show that flow, perceived usefulness and satisfaction determine continuance intention of mobile SNS. Moreover, the authors found that referent network size and perceived complementarity are the main factors affecting flow, whereas information quality is the main factor affecting perceived usefulness. Only system quality significantly affects satisfaction.Practical implications– The results imply that mobile service providers need to take the functional characteristics of the mobile SNS (e.g. system quality and information quality), network externalities (referent network size and perceived complementarity) and flow experience into consideration when encouraging users' continuance intention towards mobile SNS.Originality/value– Extant research has focused on initial adoption and usage of mobile SNS and has seldom considered post-adoption usage, which is critical to mobile service providers' success. This research tries to fill the gap by examining continuance intention to use mobile SNS. The theory embedded within the IS success model, network externalities and flow theory articulated that these three research domains can be integrated to better understand the factors that influence mobile SNS users' continuance intention.
On the use of structural equation modeling in marketing image research
Authors: Koubaa Yamen , Srarfi Tabbane Rym , Chaabouni Jallouli Rim 
Published: March 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to assess the use of structural equation modeling in one specific field of marketing research, the image research.

Design/methodology/approach
– A meta-analysis of a sample of image marketing works using structural equation modeling (SEM). The period of investigation is limited to the last five years to test for possible positive return of previous assessments of SEM use on the current SEM application.

Findings
– Following this work, three major conclusions emerged: the study of homogenous samples of SEM models is required to get to accurate assessment of using the technique; SEM application is getting better probably due to learning from SEM reviews; and the reliance on a conjoint assessment of the various SEM issues is necessary to avoid parsimonious assessments. This study has provided a concise and refreshed view on the use of SEM in one marketing field, the image research.

Research limitations/implications
– 47 SEM papers and 99 models along five years were examined through this research. Although the authors reviewed four of the most consulted databases in marketing, the authors might miss several interesting works not available in these databases during the investigation. It is interesting to add on the works reviewed in this study and to re-conduct the analysis. The objective is not to doubt the consistency of SEM image research but to provide writers and readers with tools that enable them to produce better quality SEM research. Moreover, the quantitative analysis could be larger. Future research can consider computing other statistics. Finally, in the standards of most of marketing journals, this paper is a bit long. But as suggested by Babin et al., journal editors should allow more space to SEM-based reviews as the nature of the discussion requires lengthening.

Practical implications
– Mastering the statistical tool in marketing research is as important as mastering the conceptual tool. Statistical learning and/or cooperation with statisticians is recommended.

Originality/value
– A multi-criteria review of works from one specific field in marketing research and across a recent period of time allowing for the test of possible positive return from previous reviews of SEM use on the quality of the current publications of SEM papers.
A phenomenological view of the behavioural tourism research literature
Authors: Gnoth Juergen , Matteucci Xavier 
Published: March 2014

Purpose– This paper aims to discuss a framework in which the behavioural tourism and leisure literature is organised. It seeks to demonstrate the practical use of Gnoth's Tourism Experience Model (TEM), and provide future directions in holiday tourism research.Design/methodology/approach– The paper takes a phenomenological approach to tourists' experiencing as a critical and productive tool for tourism development. The literature reviewed is structured through the four modes of experiencing outlined in the TEM: experience as pure pleasure, as re-discovery, as existentially authentic exploration, and as knowledge seeking.Findings– The TEM provides a model for all potential experiencing, that is, it models the boundaries of what experiencing could be throughout the tourist journey. The discussion of the literature also shows that, in many occasions, different experiential stages, states and modes of feeling await far more detailed research.Originality/value– The paper highlights not a particular mode or phase within an experience but better captures the latency of experiencing. The paper argues that the model helps to better distinguish the processes of experiencing and challenges research to identify phases and developments, strategies and heuristics that take the tourist's potential “travel career” or self-developmental trajectories into consideration.
Parents-to-be and future holiday planning: what is it all about?
Authors: Lalicic Lidija 
Published: March 2014

Purpose
– The aim of this study is to understand how parents-to-be expect their future holidays with their first child to change accordingly, and most important the reasoning behind this.

Design/methodology/approach
– By the use of a qualitative-explorative research approach (Grounded Theory method), ten in-depth interviews were done with Dutch parents-to-be, expecting their first child.

Findings
– The results show that emotional response ranks high in terms of the occurred changes, which originate from a set of interrelated consequences. A strong link with a deep fundamental basis rooted in daily life values can be made.

Research limitations/implications
– To surmount the limitations of this study observational methods would have to be employed. The collection of information relating to decision making can only evoke faults if the research would take place after the couples transform into parents-to-be through a setting of a longitudinal study. In addition, generalization should be carefully taken into account in terms of cultural backgrounds, which can devise changes as well.

Practical implications
– This will oblige the tourism industry to consider product differentiation to serve this segment better and to capture a competitive position in the dynamic tourism industry.

Originality/value
– The holiday has been perceived as a part of daily life and should create a certain degree of added value which refers to a deeper fundamental basis. Therefore, it can be argued that this study contributed to the decision-making literature by going beyond the scope of family holidays.
Doing good at a nonprofit tourist attraction
Authors: Karin Olsson Anna , Gellerstedt Martin 
Published: March 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the growing field of membership research by applying a relationship marketing perspective on members in tourism settings. Focus is on exploring why consumers are members (motivational dimensions) and how motivations are related to member behaviours (retention, participation and co-creation), and to member demographics (gender, age, distance between the member's home and the supported organization).Design/methodology/approach– A survey was conducted among members of a nonprofit tourist attraction (n=755). Classical chi-square tests, t-tests and multivariate analysis using logistic regression were used to analyze data and to test eight hypotheses on member demographics, member motivations and member behaviours.Findings– Findings show that among the three motivational dimensions, altruism, i.e. doing good for others, was the strongest motive, followed by self-interest, i.e. doing good for yourself, and then the social motive, i.e. doing good with others, which scored lowest. Furthermore, findings show that gender, age and distance were significantly related to member motivations and member behaviours. Member behaviours were significantly related to motivations.Research limitations/implications– This study was conducted at a single nonprofit tourist attraction. However, it provides insights into different motivational dimensions for why people pay to become members and what kind of member behaviour they demonstrate. This topic calls for further research to explore the complex membership phenomenon such as extending this study by identifying member motives and behaviour in other contexts.Practical implications– This explorative study of members of a nonprofit tourist attraction contributes insights into why consumers are members (motivational dimensions), how motivations are related to member behaviours in a membership relationship context, and how member demographics are related to motivations and behaviours. Findings have implications for membership managers and the development of memberships in terms of giving a deeper insight into members as consumers in order to develop memberships as strategic resources and hence use the full potential of memberships especially vital to non-profit organizations. Several aspects of memberships are discussed that may inspire the development of member offerings. The present study contributes to the developing field of membership research as it is a response to the calls for more empirical studies of members to develop an integrated understanding of motivations of memberships. Furthermore it contributes with research of co-creation in customer relationships linking the co-creation concept to research of members in tourism settings.Originality/value– This study contributes to the developing field of membership research and furthermore gives insights into consumer motivations and behaviours that may inspire development of innovative and competitive membership offerings building membership relationships in tourism settings.
“This is a piece of coral received from captain Bob”: meanings and functions of tourist souvenirs
Authors: Decrop Alain , Masset Julie 
Published: March 2014

Purpose
– Tourists' special possessions are under-studied in consumer research despite their importance in self-identity development. Furthermore, extant studies about tourist souvenirs fail in providing an extensive and in-depth view of souvenirs, and in exploring both their functional and symbolic dimensions. This paper aims to better and deeply understand the symbols and meanings attached to tourist souvenirs as well as the functions they fulfil in contemporary consumption.

Design/methodology/approach
– A naturalistic interpretive approach has been privileged. A total of 19 informants have been interviewed and observed at home in a triangulation perspective. Interview transcripts, field notes, and pictorial material were analyzed and interpreted through the grounded theory approach.

Findings
– A new typology of four types of symbolic souvenirs including touristic trinkets, destination stereotypes, paper mementoes, and picked-up objects is developed. The typology is grounded on four major functions souvenirs may fulfil in terms of meanings and identity construction, that is: categorization, self-expression, connectedness, and self-creation.

Originality/value
– This study contributes to a better knowledge of tourist souvenirs, which is a typical case of consumers' special possessions that may be central in self-identity processes. Considered as powerful “messengers of meaning”, tourist souvenirs help consumers to maintain material links with cherished past experiences and to convey individual and cultural meanings to their broader existence. Typologies such as the one developed in this paper are crucial not only for researchers but also for marketers and retailers.
A practical guide to e-journal and e-book supply – a UK perspective
Authors: Kluzek Mark 
Published: March 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to report on current interlending and document delivery of e-books and e-journals in the UK and analyse the challenges encountered in such practices, using the experiences at King's College London as an example.

Design/methodology/approach
– The author uses a case study approach.

Findings
– Most UK libraries and higher education institutions negotiate the usage terms for their e-resources through Jisc's NESLI2 model license agreement. While the terms of this agreement work relatively well for document delivery of e-journal articles, allowing for secure electronic document transmission under prescribed circumstances, the interlending of e-books remains problematic.

Research limitations/implications
– The paper provides insight into how UK document supply services can better use electronic holdings to offset the costs of requesting. It discusses the dilemma of e-books and potential solutions.

Practical implications
– This will enable UK library professionals to better use e-resources in a legally compliant way for the purpose of document delivery. It will explain to non-UK library professionals how supplying from e-resources works in the UK.

Originality/value
– The paper provides insight into how UK document supply services can better use electronic holdings to offset the costs of requesting. It discusses the dilemma of e-books and potential solutions.
Dispute resolution in corporate multi-tenanted property management: a case study
Authors: Tunde Oladokun Timothy , Tajudeen Aluko Bioye 
Published: March 2014

Purpose
– This study aims to evaluate the practice of dispute resolution in Lagos International Trade Fair Complex, Lagos State.

Design/methodology/approach
– Questionnaires were distributed to two study groups of 400 users/occupiers and officials of the managing agents. A total of 100 were returned and found useable for the study. The study adopted the descriptive method of percentages, mean and proportion method for analysis.

Findings
– The study found that there often existed disputes and when it occurs, the common reaction is for them to alert other users of the building. Other findings are that the methods of dispute resolution adopted are arbitration, mediation, conciliation and litigation and that the most commonly adopted method is arbitration.

Research limitations/implications
– Limiting the scope of the study to the perception of the respondents could reflect an element of bias and might pose a great challenge to the representativeness of the findings. Also, the use of closed question questionnaire may limit the validity of the results.

Practical implications
– The study has major implications on real estate investment and practice in Nigeria. There is the need to incorporate behavioural knowledge in the curriculum of estate management and valuation to prepare graduates for efficient practice and the continuous re-training of practitioners to prevent future declining real estate profession.

Originality/value
– The paper documents the requisite information needed for developing contemporary policy on real estate education in the country. It also serves as a guide for real estate practitioners and regulatory bodies for developing contemporary real estate practice to meet emerging trends in CREM practice and for relevance in the practice of CREM as an evolving sub-discipline of estate management.

AbstractAdult T‐cell leukemia–lymphoma (ATL) is one of the most malignant lymphomas with poor prognosis. ATL cells express CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) and mogamulizumab, a monoclonal antibody against CCR4 that exhibits very strong cytotoxicity for ATL cells via antibody‐dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Although its effect is dramatic in ATL, serious adverse reactions such as Stevens–Johnson syndrome have been reported. However, these eruptions can appear as therapeutic signs of mogamulizumab. We evaluated the effectiveness of mogamulizumab in five acute‐type ATL patients. Peripheral blood (PB) and lymph nodes (LN) were affected in three and four patients, respectively. In PB, complete response (CR) was obtained in all three patients and partial response (PR) was recorded in LN of one patient. In skin lesions, four of five patients manifested CR; in two, the lesions worsened after the start of mogamulizumab treatment and subsequently improved. In these lesions, CD4+8−25+ ATL cells were replaced by CD3+8+ cytotoxic T cells. Cutaneous adverse reactions (CAR) developed in two patients with CR; they did not show a relapse of ATL over the course of 9 months. Our findings suggest that mogamulizumab should be continued and surface marker evaluation should be performed even in patients whose skin lesions show aggravation, and that CAR may be a marker for a favorable prognosis.
Lost in translation? ‘Evidence’ and the articulation of institutional logics in integrated care pathways: from positive to negative boundary object?
Authors: Allen Davina 
Published: March 2014

AbstractThis article examines the translation of a clinical governance concept – integrated care pathways (ICPs) – into an infrastructural technology. Building on previous work, the application of boundary object theory is extended in this article to argue that stakeholder enrolment in pathway methodology may be less thoroughgoing than originally assumed. Pathways have effectively aligned management and nursing interests around a quality agenda and nurses have emerged as the leaders in this field, but doctors have rather lower levels of engagement. It is suggested that the contradictory logics inherent in pathway philosophy (primarily as these relate to ‘evidence’) and the social organisation of ICP development foster a transformation of the concept when this is translated into the technology, creating a negative boundary object from the perspective of doctors. Medicine is a powerful actor in health care, which is consequential for whether pathways, as designated boundary objects, become boundary objects‐in‐use. It also has implications for the diffusion of the concept as a mechanism of clinical governance and the credibility of nurses as emergent leaders in this field. Qualitative case studies of ICP development processes undertaken in the UK National Health Service and ethnographic research on the ICP community provide the empirical foundations for the analysis.
The TLR2 Ligand FSL‐1 and the TLR5 Ligand Flagellin Mediate Pro‐Inflammatory and Pro‐Labour Response via MyD88/TRAF6/NF‐κB‐Dependent Signalling
Authors: Lim Ratana , Barker Gillian , Lappas Martha 
Published: March 2014

ProblemToll‐like receptors (TLRs) 2 and 5 induce inflammation via the adapter proteins myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and TNFR‐associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and the transcription factor nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB). The aims of this study were to determine the effects of the TLR5 ligand flagellin and the TLR2 ligand FSL‐1 on pro‐inflammatory and pro‐labour mediators in human fetal membranes and myometrium, and to establish whether their actions are dependent on MyD88, TRAF6 and NF‐κB.Method of StudyTissue explants were performed to determine the effect of flagellin and FSL‐1 on pro‐labour mediators in fetal membranes and myometrium. siRNA knockdown was performed in primary amnion and myometrium cells to determine the role of MyD88, TRAF6 and NF‐κB.ResultsFlagellin and FSL‐1 increased pro‐inflammatory cytokines (IL‐6 and IL‐8), MMP‐9 expression and activity, and COX‐2 expression and prostaglandin release. siRNA knockdown of TLR2 decreased FSL‐1 induced production of IL‐6, IL‐8, COX‐2, prostaglandins and MMP‐9; similarly, siRNA knockdown of TLR5 decreased flagellin induced production of these pro‐labour mediators. The effects of flagellin and FSL‐1 are mediated by MyD88 and TRAF6, as siRNA knockdown of MyD88 and TRAF6 decreased flagellin and FSL‐1 induced pro‐labour mediators. Additionally, the effects of flagellin and FSL‐1 are mediated via NF‐κB, as flagellin and FSL‐1 increased NF‐κB transcriptional activity, and the NF‐κB inhibitor BAY 11‐7082 attenuated flagellin and FSL‐1 induced expression and secretion of pro‐labour mediators.ConclusionTLR2 engagement by the synthetic lipoprotein FSL‐1 and TLR5 engagement by bacterial flagellin enhances pro‐inflammatory and pro‐labour mediators in human fetal membranes and myometrium via MyD88/TRAF6/NF‐κB.
Cancer during pregnancy
Authors: Van Calsteren Kristel , Amant Frédéric 
Published: March 2014

AbstractCancer during pregnancy is a rare and complex problem involving many different health care professionals, which emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary teamwork. Obstetricians are continuously involved from antenatal care to delivery and the puerperal period including lactation. Recent research indicates that most chemotherapy administered in the second and third trimester does not have serious impact on the health and development of the children and that most pregnant women with cancer treatment should go to term and aim for a vaginal delivery. However, continuous registration and follow‐up of these women and their children is needed in an international setting to obtain sufficient numbers, and not least a multidisciplinary contribution to cover the different aspects of management and surveillance of pregnant women with cancer.
