Expecting the unexpected
Authors: Sundstrom Beth , Lyn Briones Rowena , Janoske Melissa 
Published: November 2013

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to explore a postmodern approach to crisis management through the lens of complexity theory to understand six non-profit organizations’ communication responses to anti-abortion terrorism.Design/methodology/approach– Researchers conducted a qualitative content analysis of publicly available documents from six non-profit organizations, which included 62 news releases and statements on organization web sites, 152 tweets, and 63 articles in national and local newspapers.Findings– A history of violence and rituals of remembrance emerged as important pieces of organizational, personal, and social history surrounding anti-abortion terrorism. The process of self-organization facilitated calling publics to action and combating the “terrorism” naming problem. The non-profits’ dynamic environment exemplified the importance of coalition building to construct digital attractor basins, or networks extending beyond permeable boundaries, through a variety of strategies, including new media. Twitter served as a strange attractor, where the concept of interacting agents emerged as a key component of relationship building.Research limitations/implications– Findings provide opportunities to expand complexity theory.Practical implications– Findings suggest practical implications for anti-abortion counterterrorism and crisis management, and provide opportunities to develop communication counter measures.Originality/value– Applying a complexity lens to the study of anti-abortion counterterrorism builds on the growing emphasis of the postmodern approach to crisis management and answers the call for further inquiry into the application of complexity theory to crisis situations. Furthermore, this study fills a gap in the study of crisis management by investigating how multiple organizations handle a crisis.
An explorative review of the Lean office concept
Authors: Bodin Danielsson Christina 
Published: November 2013

Purpose
– The concept of Lean office design has emerged, claiming to support an efficient labour process. This article aims to investigate how the two main perspectives identified in the Lean office: the neo-Tayloristic approach and the team-based approach, based in different historical backgrounds, use the office design to shorten lead time and free up time.

Design/methodology/approach
– An extensive review is done in the article of what the Lean office concept means for different research areas and to practitioners.

Findings
– The study presents the two Lean office perspectives in relation to each other, something that has not been done before since it is only recently the team-based Lean office was introduced. The study also presents possible risk and benefits of two perspectives from an employee and organizational perspective.

Research limitations/implications
– Since this is a first exploratory review of the Lean office concept based on theories and examples from design practice, further empirical studies are needed to determine risks and benefits of the concept.

Practical implications
– The clarifying examples in the article make it useful for people involved in the design and building process of offices.

Originality/value
– The article brings together the fields of labour process, office research and facility management with the design practice and presents the two perspectives Lean office design in relation to each other, which has not been done before since the team-based Lean office has only recently been introduced.
TMT overtaking the traditional sectors
Authors: Woodford Karine , Kuljanin Milena 
Published: November 2013

Purpose
– The paper aims to examine the state of the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) sector at the global level from an occupier perspective. It provides a snapshot of activity in various geographic locations and looks at the major trends and underlying drivers. The paper suggests the implications of these trends for property with emphasis on opportunities for corporate occupiers.

Design/methodology/approach
– The paper uses in-house data on property take up and internal as well as external sources on economic activity combined with documentary analysis and expert knowledge.

Findings
– The paper suggests that the TMT sector could overtake the financial services sector as the main engine of global office take up. The paper also finds that the TMT sector is increasingly choosing to locate in central business districts as opposed to traditional out-of-town business parks.

Originality/value
– This paper fulfils the need to understand some of the major shifts taking place within the TMT sector and make a connection between these changes with the property sector emphasizing on corporate occupation.
Optimal jurisdiction of financial supervision
Authors: Patrik Berglund Tom 
Published: November 2013

Purpose
– This paper aims to discuss factors that affect the socially optimal jurisdiction of financial supervision in the presence of economies of scale in banking.

Design/methodology/approach
– Analysis of the trade-off between likelihood of “regulatory capture” of supervisors in a small jurisdictions and benefits of greater rates of financial innovation in a less-bureaucratized and more diverse supervisory organization.

Findings
– The challenge is to create a financial supervisory institution that should be powerful enough to close down even the largest financial institutions within its jurisdiction, while at the same time not becoming so large and omnipotent that it would stifle further development of firms in financial services.

Research limitations/implications
– Deeper understanding of minimum efficient scales in financial intermediation required, and of regulatory capture vs efficient information acquisition from regulated units.

Practical implications
– Basis for international (regional) cooperation in facilitating efficient delivery of financial services, in particular in smaller countries.

Originality/value
– Developments in information technology have fundamentally changed the ways financial intermediaries operate paving the way for giant units that in key areas are able to outcompete smaller business units. The financial crisis that started in 2008 revealed that these large and interconnected organizations are in a position to extract implicit subsidies from the rest of the society. The organization of financial supervision must adapt to these changing conditions.
Living wills and cross-border resolution of systemically important banks
Authors: Carmassi Jacopo , John Herring Richard 
Published: November 2013

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether and how “living wills” and public disclosure of such resolution plans contribute to market discipline and the effective resolution of too big and too complex to fail banks.

Design/methodology/approach
– The disorderly collapse of Lehman Brothers is analyzed. Large, systemically important banks are now required to prepare resolution plans (living wills). In the USA, parts of the living wills must be disclosed to the public. The public component is analyzed with respect to contribution to market discipline and effective resolution of banks considered too big and complex to fail. In a statistical analysis of the publicly available section of living wills, this information is contrasted with legislative requirements.

Findings
– The analysis of public disclosures of resolution plans shows that they are insufficient to facilitate market discipline and, in some instances, fail to enhance public understanding of the financial institution and its business. When coupled with the uncertainty over how an internationally active financial institution will be resolved, the paper concludes that these reforms will do little to reduce market expectations that some financial firms are simply too big or too complex to fail.

Research limitations/implications
– A very small data set and the necessity of cross-checking the authors' observations with all publicly available sources. The authors have also tried to infer a purpose for public disclosure of parts of resolution plans. The authorities are remarkably vague on the issue and so the authors have assumed they actually did have a specific intent that would strengthen the system.

Practical implications
– The inference from the publicly available portion of living wills is that the authorities are a very long way from abolishing too-big-to-fail.

Originality/value
– So far as the authors know, this is the first in-depth analysis of the information available in the public sections of living wills.
What drives issue spreads on commercial paper?
Authors: Poskitt Russell 
Published: November 2013

Purpose– This paper aims to examine how issue spreads are determined in the New Zealand commercial paper market both before and after the onset of the global financial crisis.Design/methodology/approach– This paper uses regression analysis on data from 1,340 commercial paper tenders conducted by 26 issuers between mid-2003 and mid-2011 to explore how credit risk and liquidity factors impact on issue spreads.Findings– Prior to March 2008, issue spreads are higher when issuers have a weaker credit rating, risk aversion is high and investor appetite for the issue is low. There is no term premium in issue spreads. After March 2008, credit ratings have no influence on issue spreads, while the influence of risk aversion is weaker. Issue spreads are more sensitive to the investor appetite and the term of the issue. Investors assign higher spreads to issues made by securitisation conduits despite these entities retaining the highest possible short-term credit rating, reflecting the erosion of confidence in credit ratings on asset-backed securities.Originality/value– This is the first published study of the New Zealand commercial paper market. The results show that since the onset of the global financial crisis, investor perceptions of credit risk have played a more important role in the determination of issue spreads than short-term credit ratings. This is consistent with a loss of confidence in credit ratings on asset-backed securities.
Real options analysis as a practical tool for capital budgeting
Authors: Guthrie Graeme 
Published: November 2013

Purpose– This paper aims to demonstrate the practical application of real options analysis to the evaluation of multistage projects, using an example involving a commercial real estate development.Design/methodology/approach– The approach demonstrated builds on static discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis and requires knowledge of only the binomial option pricing model.Findings– Real options analysis can be implemented in a spreadsheet and only one parameter – the volatility of the price of the completed project – needs to be estimated in addition to those required for static DCF analysis. The approach described can be used to evaluate a project at any stage of development, which is especially useful when the suspension of partly completed projects is under consideration.Originality/value– The paper shows how to carry out real options analysis of complex multistage development projects using straightforward valuation tools, making an important project evaluation technique more readily available to practitioners.
Wii-based Movement Therapy benefits stroke patients with low and very low movement ability
Authors: A. McNulty Penelope , G. Thompson-Butel Angelica , T. Shiner Christine , Trinh Terry 
Published: November 2013

Purpose
– Stroke patients with low and very low functional movement are not usually considered suitable for rehabilitation. Without therapy the more-affected side will not improve and may lose any residual function. Poor movement ability reduces independence and limits the social engagement of such patients. The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether Wii-based Movement Therapy was suitable and beneficial for stroke patients with low and very low movement ability.

Design/methodology/approach
– In total, 13 patients aged 22-77 years and three months to 21 years post-stroke completed the standardised 14-day protocol of Wii-based Movement Therapy. Therapy is a structured and targeted programme, tailored to the individual needs and deficits of each patient. Functional ability was assessed using a suite of tools. Increased use of the more-affected hand and arm in everyday life was assessed using the Quality of Movement subscale of the Motor Activity Log.

Findings
– Functional movement of the more-affected hand and arm improved by 40 per cent on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment. Hand-use in everyday tasks more than doubled and improvements were also seen in lower-limb function, balance, and cardiovascular function. Qualitative improvements in psychological status were also noted.

Practical implications
– The paper demonstrates that stroke patients with low and very low movement ability post-stroke can benefit from upper-limb rehabilitation. Wii-based Movement Therapy is a viable and effective option with high patient compliance.

Originality/value
– The patients in this study became less disabled. Improving movement ability of stroke survivors will not only increase their independence in activities of daily living but will also reduce the burden of care on patients, their families and the community.
The attitudes of people with Huntington's disease and their carers to research
Authors: Wright Jan , McDonald Paul , Rickards Hugh , De Souza Jennifer 
Published: November 2013

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to explore the attitude and understanding of research among people with Huntington's disease (HD) and their carers, as well as their experiences of research participation.

Design/methodology/approach
– Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 participants with HD (ranging from pre-symptomatic to moderately severe HD) and ten carers. Data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis.

Findings
– The emerging themes indicated that carers played a more active part in the research process while the service users adopted a more passive role. These differences gave rise to differences in their attitudes and perceptions of research. Carers described in detail their information processing and decision-making role when participation was offered and then throughout the subsequent study. They facilitated attendance, provided support, enabled the collection of correct data for the study, as well as ensuring the wellbeing of the service user throughout the research process. Service users, however, focused upon the behavioural and physical changes they experienced during the trial. Nevertheless a great level of enthusiasm for research was reported by both service users and carers.

Originality/value
– Research on the attitudes and experiences of people with HD and their carers is inadequate. Further research is therefore needed into the carers’ potentially considerable burden and significant role in HD research. This could then conceivably impact on the enhancement of the clinical trial experience and recruitment and retention in studies could be improved.
Hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction following traumatic brain injury
Authors: R. Rosario Emily , R. Bustos Melissa , Moore Colleen 
Published: November 2013

Purpose
– Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a significant public health problem that affect an estimated 1.7 million US residents yearly. TBI patients experience a variety of symptoms related to physical functioning, sensory processing, cognition, communication, behavior, and mental health, all of which differ in severity by individual. Recent evidence suggests that hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction may be impacting recovery. The purpose of this paper is to increase awareness about the frequency of hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction following a TBI and its effect on functional recovery.

Design/methodology/approach
– The paper reviews the literature regarding hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction following TBI and discusses the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy for individuals with hormone deficiencies.

Findings
– The rate of hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction following TBI has been reported as anywhere between 25 and 80 percent. Specifically, abnormal hormone levels, both chronic and acute, are generally estimated to be approximately 5-22 percent for thyroid hormones, 15-33 percent for growth hormone (GH), and 25-80 percent for testosterone. The effect of hypopituitarism has been reported on several aspects cognitive and physical function as well as overall quality of life. In these studies, GH and testosterone deficiencies appear to underlie the observed impairments.

Originality/value
– The paper suggests the importance of understanding and screening for hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction as hormone replacement therapy may be a beneficial intervention to promote physical and cognitive rehabilitation.
Genetic diversity within a declining natural population of Ferocactus histrix (DC) Lindsay

Published: November 2013

AbstractFerocactus histrix is a barrel cactus that is widespread in Mexico. A population located in Llanos de Ojuelos, a semiarid zone representative of many disturbed regions in north‐central Mexico, was studied. Over a period of 10 years (1997 to 2007), the average number of individuals decreased from 21.95 to 3.53 plants per 300 m2. A change in population size structure was also registered over this period of time. In 2008, a plot selected on the basis of plant abundance was established within the population and a genetic analysis was conducted with ISTR and ISSR markers. This analysis revealed low levels of genetic diversity (expected heterozygosity (HE) = 0.073, Shannon index (I) = 0.113 and HE = 0.178, I = 0.271, respectively) compared with those of most studied cacti species. The genetic diversity between the different life stages was also evaluated, and a gradual decrease in levels of genetic variation was observed from adults to juveniles and seedlings (HE = 0.130, I = 0.192 to HE = 0.103, I = 0.157). These differences, however, were not significant. Loci fixation and a decrease in the frequency of rare alleles were observed in seedling and juvenile classes. The decline in genetic variation may be associated with recent bottlenecks experienced by the population of F. histrix. If the sizes of local populations of F. histrix continue to decrease, genetic variation will be gradually lost, and the risk of extinction will increase.
Subgrouping in the Sabellian branch of Indo‐European
Authors: Clackson James 
Published: November 2013

AbstractThe Sabellian branch of the Italic languages of Indo‐European comprises Oscan, Umbrian, South Picene and a number of smaller varieties. This paper analyses the current model for subgrouping these languages and gives detailed consideration to a number of phonological and morphological isoglosses. The publication of a new corpus of the Sabellian inscriptions allows a better understanding of the relative chronology for language change in the Sabellian branch, and this leads to a new perspective on the interrelations between the Sabellian languages.

Published: November 2013

ObjectiveTo compare microcirculatory perfusion in women with severe pre‐eclampsia against that in healthy pregnant women, and secondly in women with severe pre‐eclampsia with or without HELLP syndrome (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets).DesignCase–control study.SettingUniversity Hospital Rotterdam, the Netherlands.PopulationTwenty‐three women with severe pre‐eclampsia and 23 healthy pregnant controls, matched for maternal and gestational age. Out of the 23 women with severe pre‐eclampsia, ten presented with HELLP syndrome.MethodsMicrocirculation was analysed sublingually by a non‐invasive sidestream dark‐field imaging device (SDF).Main outcome measuresPerfused vessel density (PVD), microcirculatory flow index (MFI), and heterogeneity index (HI) were calculated for both small vessels (∅ < 20 μm; capillaries) and non‐small vessels (∅ > 20 μm; venules and arterioles).ResultsThere were no significant differences between women with severe pre‐eclampsia and healthy controls. Women with pre‐eclampsia and HELLP syndrome showed a reduced PVD (P = 0.045), MFI (P = 0.008), and increased HI (P = 0.002) for small vessels, as compared with women with pre‐eclampsia but without HELLP syndrome.ConclusionsSidestream dark‐field is a novel, promising technique in obstetrics that permits the non‐invasive evaluation of microcirculation. We did not observe major differences in sublingual microcirculatory perfusion between women with severe pre‐eclampsia and healthy pregnant controls. In women with severe pre‐eclampsia, the presence of HELLP syndrome is characterised by impaired capillary perfusion.
Abamectin resistance in strains of vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is linked to elevated glutathione S‐transferase activity
Authors: Wei Qing‐Bo , Lei Zhong‐Ren , Nauen Ralf , Cai Du‐Cheng , Gao Yu‐Lin 
Published: November 2013

AbstractAbamectin resistance was selected in the vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza sativae (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) under laboratory conditions, and cross‐resistance patterns and possible resistance mechanisms in the abamectin‐resistant strains (AL‐R, AF‐R) were investigated. Compared with the susceptible strain (SS), strain AL‐R displayed 39‐fold resistance to abamectin after 20 selection cycles during 25 generations, and strain AF‐R exhibited 59‐fold resistance to abamectin after 16 selection cycles during 22 generations. No cross‐resistance to cyromazine was found in both abamectin‐resistant strains. However, we failed to select for cyromazine resistance in L. sativae under laboratory conditions by conducting 17 selection cycles during 22 generations. However, moderate levels of cross‐resistance to abamectin (6–9 fold) were observed in strains which received cyromazine treatments. Biochemical analysis showed that glutathione S‐transferase (GST) activity in both abamectin‐resistant strains (AL‐R, AF‐R) was significantly higher than in the susceptible strain (SS), suggesting metabolically driven resistance to abamectinin L. sativae. Recommendations of mixtures or rotation of cyromazine and abamectin should be considered carefully, as consecutive cyromazine treatments may select for low‐level cross‐resistance to abamectin.
