Region-of-origin (ROO) certification as marketing strategy in the South African wine market
Authors: A. Engelbrecht Josias , Herbst Frikkie , Bruwer Johan 
Published: June 2014

Purpose
– This purpose of the study was to examine the relevance of the presence of geographical information, specifically the certification of region of origin (ROO) on the wine label, in the consumer’s wine purchase decision. In addition, the research investigated how the relevance of ROO varies across demographic and behavioural market segments.

Design/methodology/approach
– The data gathered via an online questionnaire from 434 South African wine consumers were analysed by employing both descriptive and inferential statistical methods.

Findings
– The ROO of wine plays a secondary role in influencing consumers when faced with a purchasing decision on its own. However, as part of the composite regional variable, namely, grape variety, region and wine style, it plays a major role in influencing consumers. The specific wine grape variety emerged as the most important factor influencing consumers. It was also found that consumers with a high involvement and interest in wine assign a higher degree of relevance to certification of origin of wine than consumers with a low involvement.

Practical implications
– Wine producers should strive to create a “lighthouse” identity in the minds of consumers. This can only be achieved if most, if not all, the wine producers in a specific geographical area consistently and authentically communicate the same message and offer products with a lighthouse identity to wine consumers.

Originality/value
– This is the first study that examines the impact of ROO as an information cue on consumers’ wine purchase decision-making in South Africa. It is of value to academic researchers, wine marketing professionals and generic marketing organisations such as wine route organisations.
A critical approach to trade-based money laundering
Authors: R.J. Soudijn Melvin 
Published: June 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to broaden the discussion on trade-based money laundering (TBML). The literature is too narrowly focused on the misrepresentation of the value, quantity or quality of the traded goods. This focus leads to the analysis of price anomalies as a signal of over- or under-invoicing. However, TBML can also occur without manipulation of these factors.

Design/methodology/approach
– A review of the literature and case study of police investigations.

Findings
– Financial action task force (FATF) definitions are seriously flawed. The question of whether detecting TBML on the basis of statistical trade data is effective should be much more open to debate. Police investigations show that goods are shipped at their true value within the context of TBML.

Research limitations/implications
– Using outliers to identify and act on cases of TBML has often been propagated, but scarcely been used to actually show TBML. Real findings are needed.

Practical implications
– Goods intended for TBML can also be paid for in cash. These cash payments are often out of character with the normal clientele. This should alert companies and compliance sections of banks alike.

Originality/value
– The critique on the FATF definition opens the field for a more fitting definition. The description of actual TBML cases makes it possible to better understand this method of money laundering.
Mapping the library for increased user engagement
Authors: Krenelka Chase Ashley 
Published: June 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this article is to explore the process of mapping a library to increase user engagement.

Design/methodology/approach
– One such strategy that has found great success in recent years has been mapping libraries. Google Maps allows for mapping of public spaces, including libraries, in a way that can facilitate a connection between users’ attachment to mobile devices and their desire to access library materials.

Findings
– At Stetson University College of Law’s Dolly and Homer Hand Law Library, the maps have successfully tied student and faculty technology to the library’s print collection.

Originality/value
– While indoor mapping libraries with Google Maps is becoming more common, there is a need in the literature for more in-depth explanations of the process and outcomes.
Campus partnerships advance both ETD implementation and IR development
Authors: Li Yuan , H. Theimer Sarah , M. Preate Suzanne 
Published: June 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to articulate the Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD) implementation process at Syracuse University. It will describe the development of a collaborative partnership between the Graduate School and the Syracuse University Libraries (SUL) that advances open access and the scholarly communication issues among graduate students, the proposed plan for a dissertations and theses retrospective digitization project which will continue to strengthen the partnership between University Archives, university relations, and the SUL. It could also serve as an inspirational point for other institutions.

Design/methodology/approach
– This case study documents the successful strategies that were used to advance scholarly communications education efforts on campus and ETD implementation using an institutional repository.

Findings
– Partnerships, flexibility, and creativity are essential to a successful initiative.

Originality/value
– Sharing successful stories is crucial in our rapidly developing field. Although each institution is different, we all have things we can learn from each other and adapt to our own environment. The important lessons here are taking opportunities, building partnerships, being flexible, and creative to ensure the initiative's success.
Past and present factors of the crisis in Italy
'
s public libraries
Authors: Salarelli Alberto 
Published: June 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to analyse the general reasons for the crisis in Italy
'
s contemporary public library institution. This crisis is complicated by the historical origins of the public library in Italy and, more broadly, by the difficult relationship between the Italian culture and today
'
s world.

Design/methodology/approach
– A conceptual discussion on the role of public library in Italy.

Findings
– The paper finds that the continuing delay in the acquisition of literacy, the tendency for points of view to become divided and to go to extremes and the development of a form of politics in the country suspended between centralised government and the claims of the local self-governments are all factors that have influenced the establishment of the public library in Italy.

Originality/value
– Understanding the conditions of the controversial origins of the public library in Italy can be of help when deciding which model to use in the future. A suitable model for this institution must not neglect but, on the contrary, must enhance the role of the library as a social institution of the history of a specific community.
The use of librarians as occupational study populations in social science research
Authors: Still Julie , Wilkinson Zara 
Published: June 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to address the use of librarians as a study population in social science research outside of the field of library and information science. Additionally, it aims to make general claims about how frequently librarians have been studied compared to other occupations, as well as to identify and describe existing research that has used librarians as a study population.

Design/methodology/approach
– The described study had two parts. Two social science databases were searched using the subject headings “librarians” and eight additional occupations, and the results for all nine occupations were analyzed. The peer-reviewed results for “librarians” were then coded by content. The articles that used librarians as a study population were identified, reviewed and described.

Findings
– Although librarians, as an occupational group, possess many characteristics that should make them an ideal choice for social science research, they seem to be studied less frequently than other occupations.

Research limitations/implications
– Other occupational groups, such as mathematicians, were also studied infrequently. Further research might consider, more broadly, why some occupations are studied more frequently than others. Future studies might also compare librarianship to other female-dominated professions, such as nursing and education. Additionally, the subject heading “librarians” was applied to articles that studied non-professional library employees, making it difficult to isolate only articles with a focus on degreed librarians.

Originality/value
– Few other studies have examined social science research in which librarians are used as the study population. By focusing on how librarians are studied and written about in other fields, this paper will add to the body of literature on the professional image of librarians.
Management accountants' perception of their role in accounting for sustainable development
Authors: Mistry Vinal , Sharma Umesh , Low Mary 
Published: June 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to examine the perceptions that management accountants have of their roles in accounting for sustainable development in their organisations.

Design/methodology/approach
– The paper draws arguments from prior literature to identify the roles that management accountants play in accounting for sustainable development. Management accountants' perceptions of their roles in accounting for sustainable development are examined by conducting interviews and surveys of management accountants from various organisations in New Zealand. The study is informed by legitimacy theory.

Findings
– Management accountants of small-medium organisations in New Zealand play a limited role in accounting for sustainable development, compared to management accountants of larger organisations. The correlation between the type of organisation and their overall goals for achieving sustainable development are closely linked with the roles the organisations' management accountants play in accounting for sustainable development.

Research limitations/implications
– This research is limited as it is only an exploratory study with a small sample of small-medium and large businesses in New Zealand. There is a need for greater acceptance by senior management of the role management accountants could play in accounting for sustainable development.

Practical implications
– This paper may help management accountants, of both small-medium and larger organisations, to advance accounting for sustainable development within their organisations by actively engaging with the issues that have deterred such advancement.

Originality/value
– This paper provides a review of the current debates and positions of accounting for sustainable development as well as the barriers management accountants face in getting engaged in accounting for sustainable development initiatives.
Malaysian local government internet sustainability reporting
Authors: Joseph Corina , Pilcher Robyn , Taplin Ross 
Published: June 2014

Purpose– This study aims to examine determinants of the extent of sustainability reporting on Malaysian local council web sites using a disclosure index within an institutional theory framework.Design/methodology/approach– Adopting a simplified disclosure index to measure the extent of sustainability reporting, the unit of analysis for this research is Malaysian local council web sites. To reduce any subjectivity, the disclosure index is unweighted and consists of 57 items.Findings– Several findings were apparent including size, Local Agenda (LA) 21 and public sector award all being found to be significant predictors of disclosure. Overall, the findings indicate the presence of institutional isomorphism – particularly coercive pressure – in explaining the extent of sustainability reporting on web sites.Research limitations/implications– The research has multiple implications as it provides insights into web site sustainability reporting in a developing country. It also adds support to institutional isomorphism as a valid theoretical framework within this context. Based on there being no mandatory requirement for local authorities to produce annual reports, one limitation is that this paper assumes that the web sites of local authorities are the primary medium for communicating sustainability information.Practical implications– One of the most significant practical implications relates to LA 21 which has a significant impact on sustainability disclosure on Malaysian local council web sites. With 113 countries in total implementing LA 21 to some degree (ICLEI), Malaysia's recognition as a key (developing country) player in advancing sustainable development should be acknowledged.Originality/value– With an apparent lack of web site sustainability reporting research in developing country public sector organisations, this study is unique in that it appears to be the first research conducted in Malaysia analysing sustainability web site reporting using a disclosure index in a local government setting – all within an institutional theory framework. Not only can the disclosure index be used as a tool for future public sector corporate social responsibility related research, but the “new” disclosure instrument provides insights into the extent of sustainability reporting in local authorities.
The consumption experience of Tim Hortons’ coffee fans
Authors: Richelieu André , Korai Bernard 
Published: June 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this research is to understand the overall consumer experience, while highlighting the means through which consumers live and take possession of what they consume.

Design/methodology/approach
– Holt’s typology serves as the theoretical background. Choosing a netnographic framework, we analyze the coffee experiential universe of 41 Canadian consumers of Tim Hortons' coffee by studying their personal stories posted on the company’s website.

Findings
– Individuals predominantly associate the consumption of coffee with ritual, happiness, joy, travel companion and extended relationship. These categories relate to mystique (ritual); pleasure (happiness and joy); travel (travel companion); and love (family-like relationship).

Research limitations/implications
– We acknowledge that there is a danger of bias in our data considering that we used the narratives that recorded the highest hits. However, these narratives represent a socially constructed reality which was validated by Tim Hortons’ fans themselves.

Practical implications
– To maintain a strong market position, it is no longer sufficient to understand the associations linked to the overall experience of a product’s consumption. The company must also have ways of accessing or appropriating the consumer experience.

Originality/value
– The study shows that it is possible for today’s consumer products to become symbolic representations in the minds of consumers, provided that the consumer has a strong attachment to the brand. It is essential to understand the appropriation practices of consumers’ experiences, as these hold significant theoretical and managerial implications.
Social marketing to improve healthy dietary decisions
Authors: Carrete Lorena , Arroyo Pilar 
Published: June 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this research is to improve the understanding of drivers and inhibitors of healthy diet behaviors in the context of an emerging economy, such as Mexico, with a severe problem of overweight and obesity. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) and protection motivation theory (PMT) provided the theoretical background for this study.Design/methodology/approach– A qualitative approach was used, given the limited amount of information available on consumers’ motivations to change behavior. In-depth interviews with experts in nutrition and four focus groups with consumers from two segments were performed to collect information. Thematic analysis was used to analyze information.Findings– PMT provided a better explanation of current dietary behavior; the positive attitudes that, according to TPB, are the immediate antecedent of behavior offered a poor explanation for autoreported behaviors. Results indicate that perceived low self-efficacy and high costs prevent change of behavior. Meanwhile, low vulnerability and severity among younger consumers adds to the low intention to adopt a healthier diet. In general, sensorial attributes of products, such as texture, flavor, color, smell and appearance, prevail over nutritional attributes.Practical implications– The outline of a social marketing program is suggested after the research findings. This program emphasizes prevention and is intended to complement governmental policies designed to modify the environment to facilitate access to healthy food.Originality value– Social marketing principles have been developed and applied mainly in the context of developed countries. This work contributes to the extension of such principles to an emerging economy with a public health problem related to overweight. Results of the research provide the basis to mold an appropriate intervention.
Comorbidities and health‐related quality of life in Spanish patients with moderate to severe psoriasis: A cross‐sectional study (Arizona study)
Authors: Sanchez‐Carazo Jose Luis , López‐Estebaranz Jose Luis , Guisado Cristina 
Published: June 2014

AbstractPsoriasis is a common, chronic inflammatory immunologically mediated disease of the skin, showing a high prevalence of associated comorbidities, and strongly affecting patients' health‐related quality of life (HR‐QOL), with profound impact on the psychological aspect. We aimed to establish the correlation between HR‐QOL and the associated comorbidities in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis in Spain. A cross‐sectional, observational, epidemiological study was conducted at 68 dermatology‐based centers across Spain. From October 2010 to June 2011, all adult patients diagnosed with moderate to severe psoriasis at least 6 months prior to the study visit and receiving or not receiving treatment for psoriasis were eligible for inclusion. A total of 1022 patients were included. The study population showed mean 36‐item short‐form (SF‐36) physical and mental health scores and Dermatological Life Quality Index (DLQI) of 49.7, 46.2 and 5.3, respectively. The multiple linear regression models showed that patients with moderate to severe psoriasis and a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, sleep disturbances or obesity were found to have lower SF‐36 health physical scores. Female patients with depression or anxiety disorders had lower SF‐36 health mental scores. Patients diagnosed with moderate to severe psoriatic disease and associated anxiety disorder had greater DLQI scores. Moderate to severe psoriasis has a significant burden on the HR‐QOL of patients. Regardless of sex, patients with several comorbidities such as PsA, hypertension or obesity were found to have worse scores in the physical component of the QOL questionnaire, whilst women were more affected in the mental health component than men.
Safety and efficacy of topical E6005, a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor, in Japanese adult patients with atopic dermatitis: Results of a randomized, vehicle‐controlled, multicenter clinical trial
Authors: Furue Masutaka , Kitahara Yasumi , Akama Hideto , Hojo Seiichiro , Hayashi Nobukazu , Nakagawa Hidemi ,   The JAPANESE E6005 Study Investigators
Published: June 2014

AbstractThe safety and efficacy of topical E6005, a novel phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor, in Japanese adults with atopic dermatitis were evaluated. A total of 78 patients were randomized to receive either the 0.2% E6005 ointment or vehicle control (without E6005) at an allocation ratio of 2:1. The randomization phase of 4 weeks was followed by an extension phase of 8 weeks. In the extension phase, all 67 subjects who completed the randomization phase were treated with 0.2% E6005 ointment. The 4‐week application of topical E6005 twice daily was safe and well tolerated. The safety profile for up to 12 weeks was similar to that for the first 4 weeks. No deaths or other serious adverse effects were observed during the entire study period of 12 weeks. Plasma E6005 was undetectable in all subjects at all sampling points while very low plasma concentrations of an E6005 metabolite were detected in 47% of subjects receiving E6005 treatment. At the end of week 4, Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Severity Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD)‐objective, SCORAD‐C (visual analog scales for pruritus and sleep loss), itch Behavioral Rating Scale, and the severity of the targeted eczematous lesions in the topical E6005 group showed trends toward improvement compared with those in the vehicle group (not statistically significant). However, the group receiving topical E6005 for 12 weeks showed significant score reductions from baselines for EASI (P = 0.030), SCORAD‐objective (P < 0.001) and SCORAD‐C (P = 0.038). These results further support the development of topical E6005 for the treatment of atopic dermatitis.
Superficial malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor arising from diffuse neurofibroma in a neurofibromatosis type 1 patient
Authors: Inoue Takuya , Kuwashiro Maki , Misago Noriyuki , Narisawa Yutaka 
Published: June 2014

AbstractMalignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are regarded as sarcomas that arise from peripheral nerves or that display differentiation along the lines of the various elements of the nerve sheath. These tumors occur in deep soft tissues, but superficial primary MPNST with a cutaneous or subcutaneous origin have rarely been reported. A 70‐year‐old woman presented with a 3–4‐year history of a slowly enlarging soft nodule on the left side of her neck. The histopathological diagnosis of the nodule was low‐grade MPNST arising from diffuse neurofibroma. There was increased cellularity, but no necrosis or mitotic activity. These histopathological findings pose difficulties in differential diagnosis from a neurofibroma with atypical histological features. We report a rare case of superficial MPNST arising from diffuse neurofibroma associated with underlying occipital bone dysplasia in a neurofibromatosis type 1 patient.
Contextual variation in interdependent policy making: The case of tax competition
Authors: Wasserfallen Fabio 
Published: June 2014

AbstractMany studies show that policy makers react to the policy choices made in other jurisdictions, but we still know relatively little about the factors driving interdependent policy making, especially about how context shapes interdependence. Theoretical arguments suggest that contextual factors, such as stable institutions and geographic location, explain variation in interdependence. However, there is a lack of empirical research investigating contextual heterogeneity in interdependent policy making, mainly because it cannot be analysed with standard spatial econometric methods. This article introduces multilevel modeling that allows the study of contextual variation in interdependence and illustrates the method with the analysis of uneven tax competition in Switzerland. The findings of fine‐grained data show that cantonal governments compete more strongly with their competitors the closer a unit is located to a metropolis with comprehensive public good provision. The analysis demonstrates that we can better understand the mechanisms of interdependent policy making by studying its contextual drivers.
