Blaming leaders for team relationship conflict? The roles of leader-member exchange differentiation and ethical leadership
Authors: Zhou Mingjian , Shi Shuisheng 
Published: July 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to extend our understanding of the role of leaders in team relationship conflict. Leader-member exchange (LMX) differentiation was hypothesized to be positively related to team relationship conflict. Additionally, ethical leadership was hypothesized to moderate relations between LMX differentiation and team relationship conflict.Design/methodology/approach– Hypotheses were examined in a sample of 79 working teams. Data were collected via a questionnaire containing measures of LMX, team relationship conflict and ethical leadership.Findings– Hypotheses were supported by the data. LMX differentiation was positively related to team relationship conflict, and ethical leadership weakened the relationship between LMX differentiation and team relationship conflict.Originality/value– This is the first theoretical analysis and empirical study of relationships between LMX differentiation and team relationship conflict. Theoretically, by using LMX theory to account for team-level outcomes, this study extended power of LMX theory. Practically, these results suggest that leaders may be responsible for team relationship conflict.

Authors: Dolan-Mescal Alexandra , Farwell Marcie , Howard Sara , Rozler Jessica , Smith Matthew 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– This paper aimed to conduct an inventory of digital resources for the Queens College Special Collections and Archives and had two purposes. The first was to assess the digital resources for a department too understaffed to address digital preservation and to provide a step-by-step program for them to start thinking in the long-term. The second was to show how these steps can be generalized for many institutions just starting to have digital holdings and looking to create a long-term digital preservation plan.

Design/methodology/approach
– The main method for research involved taking a significant sampling of the department’s digital holdings and conducting an inventory of them, analyzing such characteristics as file size, names, formats and metadata. After the inventory was conducted, recommendations were made to the department based on best practices in the field of digital preservation.

Findings
– We found that while the department generally does not follow industry-best practices for preservation, the files were relatively new and, therefore, many issues could still be fixed. With a concrete plan and a bit of effort, their digital files can be more easily accessible and protected against future threats.

Originality/value
– The issues that the Department of Special Collections had with their digital holdings are similar to those at many other institutions – especially educational ones where staff turnover is high. This case study could help similar small organizations start to access their digital holdings and start formulating a plan for long-term preservation.
Corporate YouTube practices of Eurozone companies
Authors: Bonsón Enrique , Bednarova Michaela , Escobar-Rodríguez Tomás 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– The current study extends the investigation into online relationship building by examining how Eurozone companies belonging to the EURO STOXX 600 index use the popular video platform YouTube to facilitate dialogic communication with their stakeholders. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the extent and main purposes of the channel's usage, the companies’ activities and online practices, as well as the factors on this platform influencing the channel's activity, the audience, and the stakeholders’ engagement.

Design/methodology/approach
– To achieve this goal a sample of 306 Eurozone companies listed in the STOXX Europe 600 index, including 19 subsectors and 12 countries, have been analysed. Stakeholder and dialogic theory were applied as a theoretical background for this study.

Findings
– The results indicated that 44 per cent of companies studied have an official YouTube channel, which is mostly used for promotional purposes. It was found that the size of the company, the sector, and its country of origin determine YouTube channel activity, and that higher activity leads to a higher number of subscribers, thus fostering an initial step to better stakeholder engagement.

Originality/value
– Given that this is the first study of its kind to provide this type of analysis, the resulting unique contributions may provide value to the information systems field and also contribute to the advancement of information systems research.
A Borda count approach to combine subjective and objective based MIS journal rankings
Authors: Tsai Chih-Fong , Hu Ya-Han , George Ke Shih-Wen 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– Ranking relevant journals is very critical for researchers to choose their publication outlets, which can affect their research performance. In the management information systems (MIS) subject, many related studies conducted surveys as the subjective method for identifying MIS journal rankings. However, very few consider other objective methods, such as journals’ impact factors and h-indexes. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach
– In this paper, top 50 ranked journals identified by researchers’ perceptions are examined in terms of the correlation to the rankings by their impact factors and h-indexes. Moreover, a hybrid method to combine these different rankings based on Borda count is used to produce new MIS journal rankings.

Findings
– The results show that there are low correlations between the subjective and objective based MIS journal rankings. In addition, the new MIS journal rankings by the Borda count approach can also be considered for future researches.

Originality/value
– The contribution of this paper is to apply the Borda count approach to combine different MIS journal rankings produced by subjective and objective methods. The new MIS journal rankings and previous studies can be complementary to allow researchers to determine the top-ranked journals for their publication outlets.
Social media application in digital libraries
Authors: Xie Iris , Stevenson Jennifer 
Published: July 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the applications of social media in digital libraries and identify related problems.Design/methodology/approach– A total of ten institutions were selected from the following cultural institution types – public libraries, academic libraries, museums, government, and international organisations – to represent a variety of digital libraries developed or sponsored by different types of organisations. The social media applications were examined with regard to the following aspects: types of social media, placement of social media, updating social media, types of interactions, and types of functions.Findings– This study presents the types of social media applications in the selected digital libraries and further characterises their placements, update frequency, types of interactions between digital librarians and users, as well as various types of roles they played. In the process of analysis the authors also identified problems related to lack of standards, creating two-way communication channels, and the lack of education functions.Research limitations/implications– Further research needs to expand the selection of institutions and digital libraries to have more representative sampling, in particular institutions that are outside North America and Europe. It is also important to perform in-depth content analysis of social media to identify patterns and functions that social media perform. Moreover the authors will compare specific social media tools, such as Twitter, Facebook, etc., across institutions. In order to explore fully the reason why certain social media tools are implemented in digital libraries, it is important to survey or interview digital librarians of digital libraries in different types of cultural institutions. In addition users can be interviewed to solicit their perspectives about their usage of social media in digital libraries.Originality/value– This study not only examines the current status and problems of social media application in digital libraries but also offers suggestions on making good use of social media to connect users and digital libraries.
Working together: library value at the University of Nottingham
Authors: Creaser Claire , Cullen Susanne , Curtis Ruth , Darlington Nicola , Maltby Jane , Newall Elizabeth , Spezi Valerie 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to bring together the findings of two studies investigating the value of academic libraries to teaching and research staff in higher education institutions. The Working Together (WT) project was an international study, funded by SAGE Publishing, investigating the value of academic libraries for teaching and research staff in the USA, UK and Scandinavia. The Raising Academic Impact (RAI) project was an initiative of the University of Nottingham (UoN) aimed at increasing the impact of academic librarians in departments across the university by assessing perception and awareness of current library services and future needs of academic staff.

Design/methodology/approach
– The WT project was conducted during Spring 2012, comprising a series of eight case studies and an online survey exploring the case study experiences and findings within their wider regional and academic context. One was conducted at the UoN, and included the RAI project. The RAI project was originally a four-phase initiative conducted by academic librarians at the UoN. The first phase, which is reported in this paper, consisted of a survey of teaching and research staff, distributed in summer 2012, investigating awareness, uptake and value of existing services, as well as demand for new library services.

Findings
– Determining the value of academic libraries is a challenging task as very little evidence (beyond the anecdotal) is collected. Perceptions of library value vary greatly between what librarians think the value of their library is to academic staff and how academic staff actually value their library. Information literacy and study skills teaching are greatly valued by academic staff. Despite current efforts, research support is still limited, owing to a cultural barrier hampering greater collaboration between libraries and academic staff in this area. Communication and marketing are keys to increase the value of academic libraries to teaching and research staff.

Originality/value
– This paper presents the key findings from the two studies in parallel. It is anticipated that these discoveries will be of interest to the wider library community to help libraries develop services which are closely linked to the needs of teaching and academic staff.
Effects of peak laser power on laser micro sintering of nickel powder by pulsed Nd:YAG laser
Authors: Ke Linda , Zhu Haihong , Yin Jie , Wang Xinbing 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to report the influence of the peak laser power on laser micro sintering 4-μm nickel powder using Q-switched 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser.

Design/methodology/approach
– Experimental study has been performed. Nickel powder with grain size of 4 μm has been utilized. A Q-switching duration of 20-25 μs and rate of 20-40 kHz have been used.

Findings
– The peak power intensity is so high that the metal particles and molten pool are blown away, leading to laser micro sintering not being successfully proceeded. The scanning line obtained by continuous-wave (CW) laser looks like a rod owing to balling effect. Using a suitable peak power intensity, a good-shaped sintering line can be obtained because the plasma can protect the molten metal from oxidation, and improve the wettability of the system. In addition, the plasma flattening effect may also contribute to the form of the good-shaped sintering line in pulsed laser sintering regime.

Originality/value
– The role of plasma induced by pulsed laser with high peak power intensity has been found during pulsed laser sintering under an ambient environment.
Managerial organizing practices and legitimacy seeking in social enterprises
Authors: Sarpong David , Davies Clayton 
Published: July 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to explore how social enterprises as an emerging organizational form in market economies acquire legitimacy to attract the support of their constituents and stakeholders.Design/methodology/approach– Employing a qualitative case study of ten UK-based social enterprises, data for the empirical inquiry was collected using semi-structured interviews and documentary evidence (e.g. Internet web pages, newsletters, and marketing materials).Findings– We found cross sector partnerships, community engagement and capability building and, compassionate enterprise narratives as quintessentially embedded managerial initiatives and practices which give form to the legitimating activities of social enterprises.Practical implications– Proactive investment in the practices identified could help social enterprises to shore up their legitimacy to garner more societal support. In particular, they can draw on their partnership ties to locate, and recruit benevolent co-optees, strategically manipulate their community engagement activities to avoid goal displacement, and employ their compassionate enterprise narratives as an external communication tool to highlight their social objectives to their audiences.Originality/value– The study highlights relevant organizing practices and activities that social enterprises employ to build legitimacy to attract the necessary support, relationships, and investments they require to function and grow.
Chromatic acoustic condition monitoring of transformers
Authors: G. Deakin Anthony , H. Smith Duncan , W. Spencer Joseph , Jones Darren , Johnson Nigel 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present an approach for continuous acoustic condition monitoring of transformers based on chromatic principles for abstracting information on individual acoustic events as well as secondary trends in the behaviour of the events.

Design/methodology/approach
– The potential benefits of condition monitoring of high-value transformer equipment are explored, and an approach based on chromatic information abstraction is illustrated and discussed.

Findings
– Tracking of large numbers of complex and variable individual acoustic events over time using a chromatic approach appears to offer a means for remote operators to evaluate mechanical transformer tap changer condition in a traceable manner.

Originality/value
– The condition monitoring is retrofittable and non-intrusive, and the approach may be applied generically for combining condition indicators for overall health-checking. A complex system behaviour may be operationally simplified without discarding the complexity.
Pathways to care: how superdiversity shapes the need for navigational assistance
Authors: Green Gill , Davison Charlie , Bradby Hannah , Krause Kristine , Mejías Felipe Morente , Alex Gabriele 
Published: July 2014

AbstractThe recently developed sociological concept of superdiversity provides a potentially interesting and useful way of developing an understanding of life in contemporary Europe. Here we report on research based on individual narratives about access to health care, as described by a range of people from very different sociocultural backgrounds in four European countries. This article notes the frequent appearance in first‐person narratives of the need for navigational assistance in the form of knowledge, cultural competence and orientation that facilitate the identification and use of pathways to health care. Our dataset of 24 semi‐structured interviews suggests that, in the context of needing health care, the feeling of being a ‘stranger in a strange land’ is common in people from a wide range of backgrounds. In social settings characterised by transnationalism and cultural heterogeneity, it is important to understand the need for navigational assistance, particularly at times of uncertainty, in the design and delivery of health services. The relationship between the inhabitants of contemporary Europe and the healthcare systems available in the places where they live is dominated by both complexity and contingency – and this is the cultural field in which navigation operates.

Authors: Makhal Subarna , Kanawjia Suresh Kumar , Giri Apurba 
Published: July 2014

The effects of plain and fermented curd dressing ripened by single (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis) as well as mixed‐strain starter cultures (L. lactis subsp. lactis; L. lactis subsp. cremoris; L. lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis:: 1:1:1), different levels of fat (18–24%) in curd dressing and inoculation rate (1–5%) on direct acidified Cottage cheese were observed. Ripened curd dressing containing 22% fat and mixed‐strain starter cultures at 3% imparted a pleasant acidic note, delicate overtones of diacetyl, improved the body and texture, visual appearance and thereby enhanced the overall quality of the product.
Biogenic amine content in Chilean Gauda cheese: physico‐chemical and microbiological factors that may influence this content
Authors: Brito Carmen , Cid Natalia , Muñoz Ociel , Báez Andrea , Horzella Mariela 
Published: July 2014

The presence of four biogenic amines in Chilean Gauda cheese was studied, and the effect of certain factors may influence the production of those amines. Histamine, tyramine, putrescine and cadaverine were quantified with high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), in cheeses from the three major Chilean cheese manufacturers. Multiple regression analysis revealed that water activity, free amino acid content and the Enterobacteriaceae count all favoured production of biogenic amines. The total amount of biogenic amines in the samples studied was between 47.9 and 150.5 mg/kg of cheese, much lower than that associated with a possible consumer health risk (1000 mg/kg).
‘Where Lies this Power Divine?’: The Representation of Kingship in Aphra Behn's Early Tragicomedies
Authors: Pacheco Anita 
Published: July 2014

AbstractThis article argues that Behn's two early tragicomedies The Young King (probably written in the 1660s but not staged until 1679) and The Forc'd Marriage (1670) provide critiques of divine right kingship as astute and incisive as that found in their immediate successor, The Amorous Prince (1671). It demonstrates that these plays reveal Behn's serious reservations about royalist political theory in the first decade after the Restoration and also, perhaps, given The Young King's belated first performance in 1679, during the early stages of the Exclusion Crisis.
mTORC2‐SGK‐1 acts in two environmentally responsive pathways with opposing effects on longevity
Authors: Mizunuma Masaki , Neumann‐Haefelin Elke , Moroz Natalie , Li Yujie , Blackwell T. Keith 
Published: July 2014

SummaryThe nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans provides a powerful system for elucidating how genetic, metabolic, nutritional, and environmental factors influence aging. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase is important in growth, disease, and aging and is present in the mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes. In diverse eukaryotes, lifespan can be increased by inhibition of mTORC1, which transduces anabolic signals to stimulate protein synthesis and inhibit autophagy. Less is understood about mTORC2, which affects C. elegans lifespan in a complex manner that is influenced by the bacterial food source. mTORC2 regulates C. elegans growth, reproduction, and lipid metabolism by activating the SGK‐1 kinase, but current data on SGK‐1 and lifespan seem to be conflicting. Here, by analyzing the mTORC2 component Rictor (RICT‐1), we show that mTORC2 modulates longevity by activating SGK‐1 in two pathways that affect lifespan oppositely. RICT‐1/mTORC2 limits longevity by directing SGK‐1 to inhibit the stress‐response transcription factor SKN‐1/Nrf in the intestine. Signals produced by the bacterial food source determine how this pathway affects SKN‐1 and lifespan. In addition, RICT‐1/mTORC2 functions in neurons in an SGK‐1‐mediated pathway that increases lifespan at lower temperatures. RICT‐1/mTORC2 and SGK‐1 therefore oppose or accelerate aging depending upon the context in which they are active. Our findings reconcile data on SGK‐1 and aging, show that the bacterial microenvironment influences SKN‐1/Nrf, mTORC2 functions, and aging, and identify two longevity‐related mTORC2 functions that involve SGK‐regulated responses to environmental cues.

AbstractBackgroundEgg‐sensitized infants who have never eaten egg may react at first ingestion. We sought to determine the association between skin prick test (SPT) and specific IgE (sIgE) to egg proteins (EP) and oral food challenge (OFC) outcomes to find cut‐off points which can diagnose egg allergy.MethodsOne hundred and fifty‐four infants up to 18 months, with cow's milk allergy (CMA) and/or atopic dermatitis (AD) without previous egg consumption, were recruited. SPT to EP were performed. If it was positive, sIgE was performed. If positive SPT and/or sIgE (n = 94), OFC was performed between 12 and 18 months. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted, and the outcome of the OFC was related to SPT and sIgE. The cut‐off points with the best diagnostic accuracy were found.ResultsNinety‐four patients were sensitized to egg (69%) and 60 nonsensitized (31%). Of the sensitized, 27 tolerated cooked (CE) and raw egg (RE) (28.7%). Sixty‐seven were allergic (71.3%): 29 reacted to CE, seven to egg yolk (EY) and 22 to egg white (EW) and 38 reacted to RE. 69.2% tolerated CE. EW SPT and ovalbumin (OVA) sIgE have the best area under the curve (AUC). The higher positive predictive values (PPV) were obtained for EW SPT and EW sIgE.ConclusionsIn egg‐sensitized infants with EW SPT ≥8 mm and/or EW sIgE ≥8.36 KU/l, egg diagnostic OFC can be avoided as there is 94% probability of becoming positive. In the other patients, OFC should be performed safely and early to avoid unnecessary diets.
