Halal logistics in Malaysia: a SWOT analysis
Authors: Syazwan Ab Talib Mohamed , Bakar Abdul Hamid Abu 
Published: October 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this strengths or weaknesses, and its external opportunities or threats (SWOT) analysis study on Halal logistics industry in Malaysia is to identify SWOT in the Halal logistics environment and to uncover strategies to leverage on the strengths and opportunities and rectifying the weaknesses as well as overcoming the threats.Design/methodology/approach– This study comprises two methods: literature review and interviews. Extensive literature reviews were obtained from leading databases and the articles recorded matches or related with the keywords. In addition, the respondents from the interviews consist of middle- and top-level managers with reputable knowledge, expertise and experience in the Logistics and Halal industry. After the literature was reviewed and information was transcribed from the interviews, reduction techniques were used to group and summarize the variables into the four SWOT categories.Findings– The SWOT categories, consisting of SWOT, are generated from the literature reviews and supported by the respondents’ views and vice versa. Examples of SWOT analyses done are as follows: strength (strong government support), weakness (inconsistent Halal definition), opportunity (Muslims’ population growth) and threat (no uniformity on Halal standards).Research limitations/implications– The SWOT analysis done for this study only demonstrates the internal and external environments and not the assumption that they are certain to be correct, as they contain every imaginable matter in relation to Halal logistics. Plus, the analysis done does not show how to achieve competitive advantage, merely as a guideline and the SWOT analysis done may be outdated as the environments are constantly changing.Practical implications– The study hopes to contribute in future studies and act as a guide for the Halal logistics players to have better understanding in their business environment.Originality/value– This study is the first of its kind, to incorporate SWOT and Halal logistics. Hence, this study will add in more value to the existing academic research done on SWOT analysis and broadening the Halal and logistics business understanding, not only in Malaysia but globally as well.
Common grounds of accounting scandals reflected on Wikipedia
Authors: Ilter Cenap 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to explore the type of accounting scandals reported in Wikipedia which have occurred in different countries on different continents. It also explores the frequency and the dollar amount of the type of accounting scams that have been committed by the companies.

Design/methodology/approach
– The paper analyses each company‘’s committed accounting scandal(s). It then classifies the companies on a country, type of scandal and industry basis. It further analyses the distribution of accounting scandals and explains the major ones in its category.

Findings
– The paper concludes that within the confines of the information reported in Wikipedia, the majority of accounting scandals have occurred in USA both in number of scams and in USD amount. The most frequent type of accounting scam is overstatement of assets and understatement of liabilities including roundtrip sales. Another inference from the paper is that the accounting scams can occur anywhere at any amount. It is not a country-specific issue.

Practical implications
– Auditors, accounting and auditing instructors and accountants talk about accounting scandals. Auditors, in particular, are required to issue audit reports that are free of material errors either deliberately or innocently made. This paper sheds light onto the issue, as it shows what major type of accounting scandals have been committed in the literature, as they had devastating repercussions on the shareholders.

Social implications
– Resources are scarce. Public’s savings must be sourced to the companies that produce the value added to the society. Misrepresentation of financial statements is an issue which distorts this relationship. The paper, by showing the type and amount of scandals, is opening up the issue to public that people be aware of what type of company they are investing in and what potential risks they are undertaking that may be leading them to be more selective in their investments.

Originality/value
– The paper covers the original stories that have occurred throughout the world since 1970s. The names of the companies are original and the amounts of scams have either been collected as USD from the story itself or converted to USD at time of the event. All USD figures have then been restated to the 2011 year-end purchasing power. Thus, the cases are reflecting the approximate USD value as of 2011 year-end derived from its historical original value. The paper reshuffles the data in certain ways so that the reader will have a better view of the cases than that of presented in Wikipedia.
Fighting to eat healthfully: measurements of the military food environment
Authors: Carins Julia , Rundle-Thiele Sharyn 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to report on a quantitative study of the food environment designed to measure aspects of support for healthy eating.

Design/methodology/approach
– An ecological view of eating behaviour was taken by examining the food environment that surrounded a military population of interest. Food outlets (n = 34) were assessed using the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey in store (NEMS-S), Nutrition Environment Measures Study in restaurants (NEMS-R) and military Nutrition Environment Assessment Tool (mNEAT) instruments to determine how well food outlets supported healthy eating.

Findings
– Despite better-than-average provision of healthy options on-base, the total environment surrounding the military base barely supports healthy eating. Average support to healthy eating was 45 per cent (NEMS) or 27 per cent (mNEAT) of support that could be measured. Individuals accessing this food environment would find few healthy alternatives, little information directing them to healthy choices and pricing and promotion that drives unhealthy eating behaviours.

Research limitations/implications
– This study focused on one food environment; replication is recommended to establish foundation data for benchmarking outlets, and further develop these measures for Australian settings. Future studies may assess the media environment to further extend the ecological model used.

Practical implications
– A method to measure the food environment is demonstrated which provides formative research insights for use when planning social marketing interventions. Consideration of these influences together with intra- and inter-personal influences offer the potential to better design social marketing healthy eating interventions, by addressing multiple levels within an ecological framework.

Originality/value
– This paper answers calls for social marketers to consider the influence of the surrounding environment, using methods not previously used in Australian settings.
The Room of Opportunity: understanding phases of creative knowledge processes in innovation
Authors: Johanne Ness Ingunn , Elisabeth Søreide Gunn 
Published: October 2014

Purpose– The aim of this article is to investigate the creative knowledge processes which are often invisible in innovation work.Design/methodology/approach– An ethnographic field study was conducted following three multidisciplinary groups; two groups in an Oil and Gas Company, Statoil and one group in a Research Institute. Data collection included observations, field conversations and formal interviews.Findings– Creative knowledge processes develop over time in six different phases of initial innovation work. The article discusses the characteristics of communication and knowledge work in these phases. It was concluded that the creative processes peak in the three middle phases, and these phases can be seen as a separate “Room of Opportunity”.Research limitations/implications– This study is limited to three groups, but the pattern of phases is consistent across all groups studied.Practical implications– This study shows that knowledge diversity in groups does not automatically lead to creativity and underscore that group members’ ability to learn from each other is crucial for the quality of new ideas. To develop innovative ideas, groups must ensure a knowledge platform and challenge present knowledge by balancing alterity and intersubjectivity in a circular movement.Originality/value– The findings presented in a model “Room of Opportunity” show that creative knowledge processes develop in phases and peak in a separate room. This is a new way to understand early innovation work, and the model is a contribution to how such invisible processes can be visualized and facilitated.
Linking leader-member exchange differentiation to work team performance
Authors: H.M. Tse Herman 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual model that delineates the psychological process and boundary condition of how leader-member exchange (LMX) differentiation influences team performance.

Design/methodology/approach
– Based on theories of LMX and social information processing, it is argued that several important mechanisms underpin the relationship between LMX differentiation and team performance. The role of these variables in the relationship is discussed.

Findings
– The team mechanisms such as affective climate and team-member exchange (TMX) serve as a boundary condition and psychological process to influence the LMX differentiation-team performance relationship. Their conceptual significance and how they affect the relationship are discussed.

Research limitations/implications
– This study focusses on theorizing TMX and affective climate as key variables in the LMX differentiation-team performance relationship. Future research considers examining the relative importance of other variables such as team potency or team cohesion to advance the understanding of the precise mechanisms that explain the relationship.

Practical implications
– The proposed model increases the understanding of the role of affective climate in the relationships between LMX differentiation, TMX and team performance. It helps minimize the negative effect of LMX differentiation, and may ultimately lead to better team performance.

Originality/value
– Although the implication of LMX differentiation has been discussed extensively, the research has not yet led to a firm conclusion as to its relationship with team outcomes. This study is one of the first to theorize affective climate and TMX as an important psychological mechanism and boundary condition to simultaneously influence the LMX differentiation – team performance relationship.
Audit quality and decision-making in small companies
Authors: Ojala Hannu , Niskanen Mervi , Collis Jill , Pajunen Kati 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– This paper aims to focus on economic consequences of audit outcomes by investigating the concept of audit quality operationalised as seven components of audit benefits to owner-managers of small companies.

Design/methodology/approach
– The authors analyse survey data collected in 2013 from 642 small private companies above the audit exemption threshold in Finland.

Findings
– No significant association was found between engagement of a Big 4 auditor (proxy for audit quality) and any of the audit benefits tested. However, the results provide consistent evidence of a positive relationship between the owner-manager’s perception of the competence and reliability of the external accountant and the perceived benefits of audit. It was also found that companies which do not incorporate e-processes in the accounting system are more likely to value the internal control benefits provided by audit.

Research limitations/implications
– Small business surveys suffer from poor response rates. To some extent, the authors overcame this problem by using two focused sampling frames and reminders. Care must be taken when generalising the results, as the definition of “small” varies across jurisdictions.

Originality/value
– By focusing on small private companies, the research contributes to the audit quality literature. Contrary to studies of listed companies, the authors conclude that use of a Big 4 auditor is not a sufficient surrogate for audit quality in small companies. The authors go beyond aggregate measures of audit quality used in previous studies and identify specific audit benefits.
Examining psychosocial challenges arising in strata titled housing
Authors: Guilding Chris , L. Bradley Graham , Guilding Jessica 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to examine the nature and extent of psychosocial need fulfillment experienced by resident strata title owners and to shed light on factors that detract from residents’ lived experience in the strata title context.

Design/methodology/approach
– An interview schedule that draws on theories of psychosocial need fulfillment was developed. In total, 16 home owners and three strata title managers were interviewed. Interviewees were sourced from three master planned communities located in South East Queensland, Australia.

Findings
– The majority of owners reported high levels of need fulfillment and neighbourhood satisfaction. Primary sources of dissatisfaction appeared to be related to body corporate committee governance issues.

Research limitations/implications
– The study's findings are subject to the widely acknowledged limitations of small sample based interview research and the study's qualitative orientation signifies that it suffers from the compromised generalisability and potential of selective and subjective reporting of observations.

Practical implications
– The findings suggest a need for greater societal appreciation of factors associated with living in a strata titled community. Recommendations are provided for facilitating the transition to strata title living and reducing sources of resident dissatisfaction.

Originality/value
– The paper uniquely explores residential satisfaction from a psychosocial needs perspective. There is a paucity of related research reported in the literature.
Movement of Atlantic cod around the British Isles: implications for finer scale stock management

Published: October 2014

Summary

Commercial fisheries risk unintentionally depleting local population components if stock management units do not reflect the population structure of the species. Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L. was over exploited in the sea areas around the British Isles in the last century and is struggling to recover. There is an urgent need to define the biological stock structure to improve management.

In this study, we used data recovered from temperature and depth loggers attached to 252 Atlantic cod to infer and map their movements around the British Isles. Individual cod showed a range of behaviours including migration, site fidelity and limited home ranging. We estimated home ranges and seasonal movements and test predictions based on data from population genetics. Cod from a northern offshore area in the North Sea did not mix with cod from the central and southern North Sea, which in turn did not mix with those from western areas (the Celtic and Irish Seas).

Cod experienced average monthly temperatures between 6 and 17 °C and occupied average depths between 15 and 165 m. Cod that occupied the deeper northern offshore area lived in colder and less variable waters than elsewhere. Differences in thermal experience are likely to underpin variation in physiology and growth rate that will have implications for how the species responds to climate change.

This study provides evidence that cod living around the British Isles are comprised of at least one more distinct population unit that is currently recognized for stock management purposes. Failure to recognize this complexity of stock structure in past management plans is likely to have been a contributory factor to the over‐exploitation of cod stocks around the British Isles.

Synthesis and applications. The results of this study and recent genetic research provide a new and more definitive understanding of movement patterns and population structure of cod around the British Isles. The applied implication of this is that spatially explicit adjustment of exploitation strategies, for example setting a maximum sustainable yield for each of the population units, should be considered to ensure sustainable harvesting of cod in the future.
Environmental controls on intragroup diversity of the uncultured benthic archaea of the miscellaneous Crenarchaeotal group lineage naturally enriched in anoxic sediments of the White Oak River estuary (North Carolina, USA)

Published: October 2014

SummarySediments of the White Oak River (WOR) estuary are situated on the coast of North Carolina harbour, one of the most diverse known populations of uncultured Archaea, specifically the miscellaneous Crenarchaeotal group (MCG). In order to constrain the environmental factors influencing the uncultured archaeal groups in the WOR estuary, biogeochemical profiles as well as archaeal 16S rRNA genes from sediment pushcores were analysed. The relative fraction of MCG Archaea in clone libraries decreased at shallow sediment depths (27% of the total MCG). A LINKTREE analysis of the MCG intragroup diversity reinforced the observation that the MCG subgroup 6 was found predominantly within sulfide‐depleted shallow sediment layers; other subgroups (especially MCG‐1 and MCG‐5/8) occurred preferentially in deeper, more strongly reducing sediment layers. The available evidence from this study and published MCG distribution patterns indicates that the MCG‐6 subgroup is a specialized MCG lineage that, in contrast to other MCG subgroups, prefers suboxic sediment horizons with minimal or no free sulfide. Collectively, our results reveal the habitat preferences of different MCG subgroups in the WOR sediments and suggest that physiological adaptations to distinct sedimentary geochemical niches evolved in different MCG subgroups.
Political and clinical developments in analytical psychology, 1972‐2014: subjectivity, equality and diversity—inside and outside the consulting room
Authors: Samuels Andrew 
Published: October 2014

AbstractUtilizing Jung's idea of theory as a ‘personal confession’, the author charts his own development as a theorist, establishing links between his personal history and his ideas. Such links include his relationship with both parents, his sexuality, his cultural heritage, and his fascination with Tricksters and with Hermes. There follows a substantial critical interrogation of what the author discerns as the two main lines of clinical theorizing in contemporary analytical psychotherapy: interpretation of transference‐countertransference, and the relational approach. His conclusion is that neither is superior to the other and neither is in fact adequate as a basis for clinical work. The focus then shifts to explore a range of political and social aspects of the clinical project of analytical psychology: economic inequality, diversity within the professional field, and Jung's controversial ideas about Jews and Africans. The author calls for an apology from the ‘Jungian community’ for remarks about Africans analogous to the apology already issued for remarks about Jews. The paper is dedicated to the author's friend Fred Plaut (1913‐2009).
Comparison of OxidativeDNADamage Between Alcohol‐Dependent Patients With and Without Delirium Tremens

Published: October 2014

BackgroundChronic and excessive alcohol consumption increases oxidative stress. We previously found that levels of 8‐hydroxy‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐OHdG), a marker of oxidativeDNAdamage, are elevated in alcohol‐dependent patients without delirium tremens (DTs). The aim of this study was to compare serum 8‐OHdGlevels between alcohol‐dependent patients with and withoutDTs.MethodsWe recruited 16 alcohol‐dependent patients withDTs (DTs group) and 58 patients withoutDTs (non‐DTs group). Alcohol withdrawal severity was evaluated using theChinese version of the revised Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol Scale (CIWA‐Ar‐C) every 8 hours. Serum levels of 8‐OHdGand other biological indices were assayed at baseline and after 1 week of detoxification.ResultsThe mean 8‐OHdGlevel in theDTs group was significantly higher than that in the non‐DTs group (0.50 vs. 0.34 ng/ml,p < 0.001). A significant correlation was found between the highestCIWA‐Ar‐Cscores and serum 8‐OHdGlevels (β = 0.43,p = 0.001) in the non‐DTs group, but not in theDTs group (β = 0.34,p = 0.19). An area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.83 suggests that 8‐OHdGlevels potentially differentiate patients withDTs from those withoutDTs. After dividing the patients into quartiles by 8‐OHdGlevel, we found that compared to the patients in the third and fourth quartiles, the patients in the highest quartile had an odds ratio of 24.1 (p < 0.001) to haveDTs, while those in the second highest quartile had an odds ratio of 3.5 (p = 0.19). Serum 8‐OHdGlevels did not significantly change after 1 week of detoxification in either group.ConclusionsAlcohol‐dependent patients withDTs have higher serum 8‐OHdGlevels than those withoutDTs, suggesting that higher oxidative stress carries a greater risk of the occurrence ofDTs.
Drinking Behavior Among Low‐Income Older Adults: A Multimethod Approach to Estimating Alcohol Use
Authors: Clapp John D. , Reed Mark B. , Martel Brandi , Gonzalez Maria C. , Ruderman Danielle 
Published: October 2014

BackgroundSubstance abuse is the fastest growing health concern for older adults. Heavy drinking among older persons is associated with an increased risk of health consequences such as diabetes, cognitive impairment, sleep issues, and depression. It is important to note, however, the prevalence estimates of alcohol use among older adults are often based on inconsistent methodology. To address these potential methodological shortcomings, this study examines drinking patterns among low‐income older adults using both self‐report and unobtrusive methods.MethodsThe study was conducted in a low‐income residential senior center in the United States. A total of 174 participants, aged 60 years or older, completed 2 self‐administered cross‐sectional surveys. A bogus recycling program was implemented to assess the amount of alcohol consumed by residents. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to model predictors of drinking status and to determine predictors of 3 category Alcohol Use and Disorders Identification Test scores. Bivariate associations that predicted associations with alcohol use were included in the final multivariate model. Alcohol containers collected from recycling were converted to standard drink estimates in order to calculate the capital consumption of residents.ResultsAbout 40% of respondents reported consuming alcohol and 25% reported drinking at least once a week. On average, a total of 1,079 drinks were consumed per month. There were 3 significant predictors of drinking status: age, education, and diagnosis of diabetes. Additionally, there appears to be an increase in recycled alcohol containers coinciding with the time residents received their social security checks.ConclusionsOverall, the combination of self‐report and unobtrusive measures of alcohol consumption has potential to highlight different aspects of drinking behavior with a population living in a single dwelling such as a senior center apartment complex, residential hall, and the like.
