From proclamation to conversation: ethnographic disruptions to theological normativity
Authors: Wigg-Stevenson Natalie 
Published: October 2015

AbstractIn recent years, theologians have increasingly used ethnographic research methods to strengthen the connections between their theological constructions and the social practices they seek to impact. The migration of these methods into the theological context has raised important questions about theological normativity. This essay draws on the author’s fieldwork in a Southern Baptist congregation in Nashville Tennessee to argue that the ethnographic intervention into traditional methods for producing theological knowledge shifts the mode of speech in which normative theological claims can be made from that of proclamation to an anti-hierarchical practice of conversation. The author proposes that ethnographic theologians can use the ethnographic research question to shape the normative weight of sources in the field and what types of normative claims can be made out of that fieldwork in the theological text. She argues that while such a shift in the understanding of theological normativity and, by extension, of theology itself has the potential to threaten methods seeking to preserve the authority of Christian speech in an increasingly post-Christendom context, that this more humble, collaborative approach is better suited to the interfaith, intercultural contexts of contemporary life, all of which face the reality of the contingency of all truth claims, including religious truth claims. This article is published as part of a thematic collection on radical theologies.
Radical theologies
Authors: Grimshaw Mike 
Published: October 2015

AbstractRadical theology as a field encompasses the intersections of constructive theology, secular theology, death-of-God theologies, political theologies, continental thought and contemporary culture. It expresses an inter-disciplinary engagement and approach dedicated to redefining the very terms of theology as a concept and practice. This article provides an introductory overview to a multi- and inter-disciplinary thematic collection dedicated to thinking in this area.

Published: October 2015

Significance
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease affecting 2–3% of the population. IL-17A plays a key role in psoriasis pathogenesis, and antibodies targeting IL-17A have recently been approved for psoriasis treatment. Here we demonstrate that IκBζ is a key protein for IL-17A–driven effects in psoriasis. IκBζ was demonstrated essential for both TNFα/IL-17A– and IL-17A–induced expression of a panel of psoriasis-associated proteins. Moreover, IκBζ expression was increased in psoriatic skin, and in two different psoriasis mouse models we showed that psoriasis development was completely absent in IκBζ-deficient mice, but inducible in IL-17A– and TNFα-deficient mice. Finally, local abrogation of IκBζ function in mouse skin abolished psoriasis development. These findings uncover a novel crucial regulatory mechanism involved in psoriasis development.
Training conquers multitasking costs by dividing task representations in the frontoparietal-subcortical system
Authors: Garner K. G. , Dux Paul E. 
Published: October 2015

SignificanceThe problem of how the brain undertakes multiple tasks concurrently is one of the oldest in psychology and neuroscience. Although successful negotiation of the rich sensory world clearly requires the ongoing management of multiple tasks, humans show substantial multitasking impairments in the laboratory and everyday life. Fortunately, training facilitates multitasking. However, until now, the neural mechanisms driving this functional adaptation were not understood. Here, in a large-scale human brain imaging study, we apply an individual differences approach and pattern analysis of brain imaging data to reveal that training segregates individual task representations in the capacity limited processor that constitutes the frontoparietal–subcortical (FP-SC) network. Therefore, the brain separates the neural representations of constituent tasks to conquer multitasking.

Published: October 2015

Significance
Many cancers are driven by aberrant activation of members of the EGF receptor (EGFR) family including ErbB2 (HER2) and ErbB3 (HER3). EGFR and ErbB3 exist in equilibrium between a tethered, inactive conformation and an extended, active state poised toward formation of homo- or heterodimers with other members of the EGFR family, normally in a ligand-dependent manner. In cancers, these receptors are activated by aberrant ligand stimulation or via a ligand-independent mechanism. Here we describe the crystal structure of the extracellular domain of ErbB3 in complex with a therapeutic antibody, revealing a unique allosteric mechanism for inhibition of cancer cells by locking ErbB3 in the autoinhibited configuration. This mechanism offers new therapeutic opportunities for treating cancers driven by aberrant EGFR, ErbB2, or ErbB3 activation.
Elizabeth I’s Virginity and the Body of Evidence: Jonson’s Notorious Crux
Authors: Peterson Kaara L. 
Published: October 2015

AbstractIn a famous, frequently quoted statement, Ben Jonson claims that Queen Elizabeth I “had a membrana on her which made her uncapable of man.” This essay reinvestigates the basis for Jonson’s 400-year-old crux and, more broadly, argues for the relevance of an unexplored area of critical studies on Elizabeth: what early modern medicine and culture thought about lifelong virginity and its distinctive perils for the queen’s aging body natural. Finally, looking at the inner-circle gossip about Tudor and Stuart queens’ health and various records documenting Elizabeth’s identified illnesses, includinghysterica passio, the essay uncovers how virgins’ diseases were thought to afflict Elizabeth over her reign and possibly contribute to her death.
Lymphangiogenic and Chemotactic Factors in Conjunctival Melanoma
Authors: Briceño César A. , Elner Victor M. , Demirci Hakan 
Published: October 2015

Purpose:
The aim of this study was to evaluate expression patterns of known lymphangiogenic growth factors and chemokines in conjunctival melanoma, and to describe patterns of lymphatic vessel growth in these tumors.

Methods:
This was a retrospective chart review comprising 5 participants (6 tumor specimens) and the main outcome measures were expression of growth factors, chemokines, and their receptors known to be important in tumor lymphangiogenesis as well as patterns of lymphatic vessel growth on immunohistochemical sections.

Results:
Tumor cells in all specimens expressed lymphangiogenic growth factors VEGFC, VEGFD, and their receptor VEGFR3. Chemotactic factors CXCL12 and CCL21 and their receptors, CXCR4 and CCL21, were also expressed in tumor cells and lymphatic endothelial cells. Staining was most intense for these proteins at the invasive tumor edge, suggesting increased lymphangiogenic activity at this location. In addition, lymphatic vessels clustered near the invasive edge of the tumors.

Conclusions:
VEGFC, VEGFD, and VEGR3 are diffusely expressed by conjunctival melanoma cells, most intensely at the invasive tumor edge. CXCL12, CXCR4, CCL21, and CCR7 were also most intensely expressed at the invasive edge, where the highest density of lymphatic vessels was also observed. These expression patterns suggest that these mediators of tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis warrant further investigation as potential therapeutic targets in conjunctival melanoma.
The Competitive Advantage of Nations 25 years – opening up new perspectives on competitiveness
Authors: Sölvell Örjan 
Published: October 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this study is to analyze how The Competitive Advantage of Nations project led by Professor Michael E. Porter has opened up new perspectives on competitiveness of nations and firms for scholars, practitioners and policymakers. With the publication ofThe Competitive Advantage of Nations(CAON) book in 1990, Professor Michael E. Porter opened up a whole new perspective on competitiveness and clusters, including both new research avenues and new perspectives for practitioners and politicians. By questioning the traditional, more static and macroeconomic, views on competitiveness, he opened up for a new model of microeconomic drivers of long-run firm competitiveness. The new conceptual model, the Diamond model, pointed to the importance of healthy rivalry and dynamic clusters, in the proximate firm environment, as central to our understanding of how firms build sustainable competitive advantages in global markets.Design/methodology/approach– Literature review and conceptual.Findings– To distinguish between short-term, more static, and long-term, more dynamic competitiveness of firms, and the competitiveness of nations and regions, the paper proposes a conceptualization into three interrelated concepts: competitiveness and innovativeness of firms, and attractiveness of nations and regions.Originality/value– This paper summarizes 40 years of Professor Porter’s seminal research with a focus on the CAON project that began with the 1990 book onThe Competitive Advantage of Nations. The paper proposes three interrelated concepts to cover issues of competitiveness: competitiveness (firm’s static advantages), innovativeness (firm’s dynamic advantages) and attractiveness (national/regional advantages).
Developing an evaluation tool for disaster risk messages
Authors: Bergeron Caroline D , Friedman Daniela B 
Published: October 2015

Purpose– Risk communication is a critical component of individual health decision making and behavior. In disaster situations, it is crucial that risk-related messages are communicated accurately and that they reach and inform target audiences about the steps they can take to protect their health. Despite a global recognition of the importance of risk communication in responding to disasters, there remains a dearth of evidence on how to evaluate the effectiveness of risk communication messages. The purpose of this paper is to develop and assess a pilot tool to evaluate the effectiveness of disaster risk messages.Design/methodology/approach– A pilot evaluation tool was developed using the existing risk communication literature. An expert assessment of the tool was conducted using an open-ended survey and a focus group discussion with 18 experts at the Public Health Agency of Canada in February 2013.Findings– The tool measures content, reach, and comprehension of the message. It is intended to be a quick, internal evaluation tool for use during a disaster or emergency. The experts acknowledged the practicality of the tool, while also recognizing evaluation challenges.Research limitations/implications– This pilot exploratory tool was assessed using a relatively small sample of experts.Practical implications– This tool offers public health and disaster preparedness practitioners a promising approach for evaluating and improving the communication and management of future public health emergencies.Originality/value– This is the first practical tool developed to evaluate risk communication messages in disaster situations.

Political entrepreneurship: Jefferson, Bayard, and the election of 1800
Authors: Campbell Noel , Witcher Marcus 
Published: October 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that an implication of Holcombe’s (2002) model is a “revolution trap.” This paper extends Holcombe’s model adding Klein’s concept of entrepreneurship as judgment concerning the use of heterogeneous political capital. The authors use the case of the USA presidential election of 1800 to demonstrate the utility of the extension, and to discuss how political entrepreneurship served to prevent a revolution trap. The political entrepreneurship of 1800 established the precedent of peaceful transition of power in the USA, which opened the door to the rapid economic development of the early nineteenth century.Design/methodology/approach– This is a historical case study using letters, newspapers, pamphlets, and other pieces of empirical evidence to highlight an important moment of political entrepreneurship.Findings– Many contemporary observers predicted that the USA would devolve into continuous revolution, which the authors argue Holcombe’s (2002) model predicts. However, political entrepreneurship ended the revolutionary period in the former British North America. Moreover, the political entrepreneurship ending the election crisis established the precedent of peaceful political succession. This precedent comparatively elevated the returns of productive, market entrepreneurship (Baumol, 1990). As a result, the USA experiences a prolonged period of entrepreneurially driven economic growth.Originality/value– To the authors knowledge, no one has developed the implication of a “revolution trap” from Holcombe’s (2002) model, nor has anyone applied Klein’s (2008) model to extend Holcombe’s model of political entrepreneurship. Although the disputed presidential election of 1800 has been extensively researched, no one has analyzed the election and its resolution from the perspective of political entrepreneurship.
Key factors for a successful implementation of a customer relationship management technology in the Tunisian hotel sector
Authors: Bahri-Ammari Nedra , Nusair Khaldoon 
Published: October 2015

Purpose– This study aims to show the contribution of the determinants of customer relationship management (CRM), namely, customer-centric organizational culture and customer-centric management system, in explaining CRM performance. The moderating role of employee support has also been examined.Design/methodology/approach– A questionnaire was administered to 406 CRM users in 15 four- and five-star hotels in Tunisia. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.Findings– The results show that a consumer-centric managerial system positively affects CRM technology. Managerial system contributes to have an efficient CRM technology implemented that provides sales force with customer information, competitor information, leads for cross-sell/up-sell opportunities, tracks product availability and measures customer loyalty. These dimensions are negatively affected by a consumer-centric organizational culture. CRM technology once implemented with an adapted consumer-centric vision will enhance the CRM performance. Moreover, the use of CRM technology by employees leads to higher performance. CRM performance can improve when different CRM components are used and supported by employee. Exchange of relevant information that provides technology can improve in regaining lost customers, in acquiring customers and in improving the total return per customer and reducing customer migration.Practical implications– The findings help managers to consider adopting a customer-oriented CRM strategy that considers all the variables that may affect the performance of this technology (initiation, maintenance and retention). Companies will be able to reconsider some notions related to CRM strategies: restructuring the human factor, disseminating information, changing hotel culture and training of users.Originality/value– This study is the first to explain CRM performance in Tunisian hotels. It helps to highlight the importance of the visitors’ behavior in hotels, which explains, among other things, the difficulty of maintaining long-lasting relationship with hotel guests, despite a good system management and a good customer-centric culture.
The impact of customer’s perceived service innovativeness on image congruence, satisfaction and behavioral outcomes
Authors: S Sreejesh , Mitra Amarnath , Sahoo Debjani 
Published: October 2015

Purpose
– This paper aims to provide empirical evidence of relationship between perceived service innovativeness, image-congruence, satisfaction and behavioral outcomes at the customer level. It hypothesizes a moderated mediation model, denoting that perceived service innovativeness relates to image-congruity dimensions, which, in turn, will promote satisfaction at cognitive and affective level, thereby creating strong behavioral outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach
– Data were collected through online surveys. The survey aimed at measuring the hypothesized constructs and other study-relevant information. Hypotheses were tested using the structural equation modeling technique.

Findings
– This paper validates the role of perceived service innovativeness as a mechanism facilitating development and transfer of customer’s image-congruence toward a service firm. It also finds that the image-congruity dimensions fully mediate the relationship between perceived innovativeness and satisfaction. The resultant customer satisfaction leads to the development of behavioral outcomes. Further, the study finds that perceived innovativeness have varying effects on image-congruence dimensions depending upon customer’s prior experience.

Practical implications
– The study provides evidence to managers that the customer-centric value creation through image-congruence requires development of positive perceived service innovativeness, which will result in customer satisfaction and their behavioral outcomes.

Originality/value
– The study is the first attempt to find empirical support for the role of perceived service innovativeness to create customer’s image congruity with a service firm. Further, analyzing how perceived service innovativeness, image-congruence, customer satisfaction and behavioral outcomes are related to each other is also an important contribution.
Polyphonic sound montages
Authors: Arnfred Morten 
Published: October 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to discuss the methodological aspects of analyzing and editing recorded qualitative interviews into polyphonic sound montages, which can then be played in a workshop and facilitate reflection, discussion and co-analysis.Design/methodology/approach– The paper outlines the two elements of the method: editing and co-analysis. It uses empirical examples from a specific project where polyphonic sound montages were edited from interviews with patients at a cardiology department and played in a workshop for a multidisciplinary group of doctors, nurses, technicians, secretaries and managers.Findings– It is argued that working with polyphonic sound montages is an engaging and fruitful way to present qualitative findings enabling the researcher to include more people in the analysis of the material.Originality/value– The crafting of polyphonic sound montages and the process of co-analysis, as described in this paper, is a new approach to ethnographic representation and qualitative analysis. The paper may inspire researchers or consultants who want to experiment with a new way of involving user perspectives.

Authors: Southcombe Amie , Cavanagh Jillian , Bartram Timothy 
Published: October 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of charismatic leadership style and value congruence on the social connectedness of retired men in Australian Men’s Sheds. This study also explores the impact of social connectedness on well-being outcomes, such as employment and training, improved family relationships and access to health and welfare services.Design/methodology/approach– The methodology is a qualitative approach using focus groups (yarning circles) and semi-structured interviews with Shed leaders, men members and healthcare workers.Findings– The findings suggest that a charismatic leader enhances the value congruence between leaders and their members through empowering, envisioning and empathy, which also contributes to the social connectedness of members and enhances well-being of retired men.Originality/value– The study provides insights into the factors that contribute to successful leadership, participatory and leadership practices in the Groups/Sheds, and addresses a gap in the literature in the area of leadership and Men’s Sheds.
Communication challenges facing management teams
Authors: Hedman Eerika , Valo Maarit 
Published: October 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to explore what kinds of communication challenges management teams (MTs) experience and to suggest ideas for developing competent communication practices.Design/methodology/approach– Working according to the principles of qualitative research, a total of seven MT members from seven different international companies were interviewed. The thematic in-depth interviews were analyzed by first looking at all references of communication challenges, and then grouping them into six different dimensions.Findings– Most of the communication challenges facing MTs are related to the teams’ meetings, where issues of leadership, decision making and participation may well be intensified. The meetings were experienced as formal communication forums, where MT members do not always express their true opinions either because other team members prevent it or because they are unable to do so. Informal communication plays a pivotal role in facilitating trust and competent communication practices.Practical implications– MTs need to be mindful of how they communicate and develop a reflective practice in order to develop competent communication practices.Originality/value– The study illustrates the essential themes that the MT members experience and perceive as central in MT communication and teamwork. Studying MTs from a communication perspective adds a valuable contribution to MT research.
Dermoscopy in differential diagnosis of palmar psoriasis and chronic hand eczema
Authors: Errichetti Enzo , Stinco Giuseppe 
Published: October 2015

AbstractClinical differentiation between palmar psoriasis and chronic hand eczema may sometimes be a diagnostic challenge; in such cases histopathological analysis helps to differentiate the two conditions. In the present study, palmar psoriasis and chronic hand eczema were investigated using dermoscopy and the significance of specific dermoscopic features was assessed in order to improve their non‐invasive differentiation. Ten patients with biopsy‐proven palmar psoriasis and 11 patients with biopsy‐proven chronic hand eczema were included in the study. We found that the presence of diffuse white scales was significant in palmar psoriasis whereas the presence of yellowish scales, brownish‐orange dots/globules and yellowish‐orange crusts was significant in chronic hand eczema.
