Biodiversity reporting by New Zealand local authorities: the current state of play
Authors: Schneider Annika , Samkin Grant , Davey Howard 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to establish whether local authorities in New Zealand report biodiversity-related information and to examine the vehicles through which it is communicated.

Design/methodology/approach
– This paper uses a keyword search to identify biodiversity reporting across a wide range of data sources, including local authority websites, formal accountability documents, environmental reports, environment and biodiversity management strategies, plans and policies.

Findings
– Biodiversity-related information was contained in range of documents. Reporting ranged from no mention of the term in existing statutory accountability documents (Annual Plans, Annual Reports, Long-Term Plans [LTPs] and District Plans/Regional Policy Statements), through to a comprehensive stand-alone biodiversity Annual Report and stand-alone biodiversity strategies. Regional and unitary authorities were more likely than territorial authorities to prepare and report biodiversity-related information to stakeholders. There is currently no consistent framework or method to guide local authorities in the presentation of biodiversity-related information. The lack of consistent, comparable information hinders the ability of stakeholders to assess local authority performance in the sustainable management of biodiversity in their district or region.

Research limitations/implications
– While this study does not consider quality of reporting, or reporting trends over time, it provides a picture of the “current state of play”. This provides a starting point from which further research into the preparation and reporting of biodiversity information by local authorities can be conducted.

Originality/value
– This paper represents the first of its kind within a New Zealand context. It provides an initial insight into whether local authorities prepare and report biodiversity-related information and where this information is presented.
Decision theory in sustainable supply chain management: a literature review
Authors: Alexander Anthony , Walker Helen , Naim Mohamed 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– This study aims to aid theory building, the use of decision theory (DT) concepts in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) research is examined.

Design/methodology/approach
– An abductive approach considers two DT concepts, Snowden’s Cynefin framework for sense-making and Keeney’s value-focussed decision analysis, in a systematic literature review of 160 peer-reviewed papers in English.

Findings
– Around 60 per cent of the papers on decision-making in SSCM come from operational research (OR), which makes explicit use of DT. These are almost all normative and rationalist and focussed on structured decision contexts. Some exceptions seek to address unstructured decision contexts via Complex Adaptive Systems or Soft Systems Methodology. Meanwhile, a second set, around 16 per cent, comes from business ethics and are empirical, behavioural decision research. Although this set does not explicitly refer to DT, the empirical evidence here supports Keeney’s value-focussed analysis.

Research limitations/implications
– There is potential for theory building in SSCM using DT, but the research only addresses SSCM research (including corporate responsibility and ethics) and not DT in SCM or wider sustainable development research.

Practical implications
– Use of particular decision analysis methods for SSCM may be improved by better understanding different decision contexts.

Social implications
– The research shows potential synthesis with ethical DT absent from DT and SCM research.

Originality/value
– Empirical behavioural decision analysis for SSCM is considered alongside normative, rational analysis for the first time. Value-focussed DT appears useful for unstructured decision contexts found in SSCM.

Originality/value
– Empirical, behavioural decision analysis for SSCM is considered alongside normative rational analysis for the first time. Value-focussed DT appears useful for unstructured decision contexts found in SSCM.
Exploring the antecedents of preferential customer treatment by suppliers: a mixed methods approach
Authors: Hüttinger Lisa , Schiele Holger , Schröer Dennis 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– This paper aims to understand the factors that influence a supplier’s choice to treat selected customers more preferentially than others. Suppliers often lack the resources to treat all their customers equally, instead having to make choices to treat some customers as preferred. Empirical evidence indicates that preferential treatment by suppliers provides substantial benefits for the purchasing firm.

Design/methodology/approach
– This study applies a mixed-methods approach. First, a qualitative analysis of a sample of buyers from an automotive manufacturer was conducted. In the second step, the findings were triangulated via a quantitative survey among key account managers of the automotive firm’s suppliers.

Findings
– This paper is the first to provide quantitative data collected from a large sample of automotive suppliers about the drivers of preferential customer treatment. The authors were able to show that the growth opportunities for suppliers and customers’ operative excellence, reliability and relational behavior are factors that induce suppliers to award preferential customer treatment. In contrast, innovation potential for suppliers, customers’ support of suppliers, supplier involvement and contact accessibility do not show a significant effect on suppliers’ behavioral intentions toward preferential customer treatment.

Originality/value
– The mixed-methods approach is introduced as a form of academic enquiry in supply chain management. The factors influencing preferential customer treatment by suppliers are explored in discussions with purchasers and validated in a subsequent survey among suppliers. Recommendations for managerial practice and theory are drawn.
Digging deeper into supply risk: a systematic literature review on price risks
Authors: Fischl Maria , Scherrer-Rathje Maike , Friedli Thomas 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is both to provide an overview of existing knowledge pertaining to the management of price risks in manufacturing companies from an operations management (OM) perspective and to establish an agenda for future research. Risks related to the purchase prices of industrial consumption factors (raw materials, semi-finished/finished goods, auxiliary materials and operating materials) exert an increasing influence on manufacturing companies’ business continuity and economic sustainability.

Design/methodology/approach
– A systematic literature review was conducted following the literature search approach of vom Brocke et al. (2009). In total, 138 relevant articles were identified, analysed and synthesised.

Findings
– The literature review reveals that the existing OM literature devotes little attention to price risks and their management in manufacturing companies. In particular, further empirical investigation is required to support decision-making in various risk contexts.

Social implications
– This paper emphasises that in addition to existing national resource funds and inter-company alliances, alternative concepts are required to secure both stable prices and access to natural resources. Otherwise, in the future, small- and medium-sized companies, along with companies based in countries lacking available resource funds, will not have an opportunity to engage in fair competition.

Originality/value
– To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first literature review to focus on price as a specific supply risk.
The Family Migration Visa in the History of Marriage Restrictions: Postcolonial Relations and the UK Border
Authors: Turner Joe 
Published: October 2014

Research Highlights and Abstract This article: Provides a necessary critical reflection on the changes to the UK family migration visa 2012; Responds to the recent call made by Nick Vaughan-Williams and Victoria M. Basham in BJPIR for Critical Border Studies to better appreciate the interlocking elements of race, gender, class in border practices. It does this by also paying attention to sex; Challenges the presentism in the recent literature on border practices/immigration by situating the family migration visa in a broader history; Makes a strong contribution to the cross-over debates which are taking place in International Relations and governmentality literature regarding the postcolonial. It offers a Foucauldian analysis of government which takes colonial and postcolonial relations seriously. This article explores the changes to the family migration visa (2012) through a history of postcolonial government. It explores how the visa shares a familiar function to previous forms of rule which targeted the household and family as a site of regulation. Under Empire, ‘marriage restrictions’ were used to manage the ‘intimate’ connections between coloniser and colonised. Over the course of the 20th century UK border regimes also targeted the intimate and the familial to regulate racial proximity. In tracing this history, I argue that the family migration visa works as a similar technique. The visa manages the intimate space of the couple, family and household through an ideal domesticity; in line with certain raced, gendered and class norms. It highlights how government techniques make claims over whom can live with, raise a family with, be intimate with whom in Britain.

Published: October 2014

ObjectiveRecent studies of patients with a mix of psychiatric diagnoses have suggested a modest or weak association between suicidal ideation and later suicide. The aim of this study was to examine the extent to which the association between expressed suicidal ideation and later suicide varies according to psychiatric diagnosis.MethodA systematic meta‐analysis of studies that report the association between suicidal ideation and later suicide in patients with ‘mood disorders’, defined to include major depression, dysthymia and bipolar disorder, or ‘schizophrenia spectrum psychosis’, defined to include schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder and delusional disorder.ResultsSuicidal ideation was strongly associated with suicide among patients with schizophrenia spectrum psychosis [14 studies reporting on 567 suicides, OR = 6.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.82–11.02]. The association between suicidal ideation and suicide among patients with mood disorders (11 studies reporting on 860 suicides, OR = 1.49, 95% CI 0.92–2.42) was not significant. Diagnostic group made a significant contribution to between‐study heterogeneity (Q‐value = 16.2, df = 1, P < 0.001) indicating a significant difference in the strength of the associations between suicidal ideation and suicide between the two diagnostic groups. Meta‐regression and multiple meta‐regression suggested that methodological issues in the primary research did not explain the findings. Suicidal ideation was weakly but significantly associated with suicide among studies of patients with mood disorders over periods of follow‐up of <10 years.ConclusionAlthough our findings suggest that the association between suicidal ideation and later suicide is stronger in schizophrenia spectrum psychosis than in mood disorders this result should be interpreted cautiously due to the high degree of between‐study heterogeneity and because studies that used stronger methods of reporting had a weaker association between suicidal ideation and suicide.
Elevated neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio predicts poor outcome in patients with advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer receiving first‐line gefitinib or erlotinib treatment

Published: October 2014

AbstractAimElevated neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been demonstrated to be a poor prognostic factor in multiple types of malignancies, whereas the effect of NLR on the prognosis of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐mutated advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with first‐line EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is not fully addressed.Methods81 metastatic NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation treated with first‐line EGFR TKIs were retrospectively included. The associations between baseline clinical characteristics, including NLR, and tumor response, progression and survival were investigated.ResultsElevated NLR (≥3.5) was observed in 33 of 81 patients. The progression‐free and overall survival of the patients with increased NLR was significantly worse than that of the patients with decreased NLR (8.20 vs 10.60 months, P < 0.001 and 17.20 vs 23.20 months, P < 0.001, respectively). Elevated NLR was confirmed to be an independent prognostic factor for worse progression‐free and overall survival in Cox multivariate analysis.ConclusionElevated NLR is likely to be associated with poor outcome in EGFR‐mutated advanced NSCLC patients treated with first‐line EGFR TKIs.
How the pterosaur got its wings
Authors: Tokita Masayoshi 
Published: October 2014

ABSTRACTThroughout the evolutionary history of life, only three vertebrate lineages took to the air by acquiring a body plan suitable for powered flight: birds, bats, and pterosaurs. Because pterosaurs were the earliest vertebrate lineage capable of powered flight and included the largest volant animal in the history of the earth, understanding how they evolved their flight apparatus, the wing, is an important issue in evolutionary biology. Herein, I speculate on the potential basis of pterosaur wing evolution using recent advances in the developmental biology of flying and non‐flying vertebrates. The most significant morphological features of pterosaur wings are: (i) a disproportionately elongated fourth finger, and (ii) a wing membrane called the brachiopatagium, which stretches from the posterior surface of the arm and elongated fourth finger to the anterior surface of the leg. At limb‐forming stages of pterosaur embryos, the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA) cells, from which the fourth finger eventually differentiates, could up‐regulate, restrict, and prolong expression of 5′‐located Homeobox D (Hoxd) genes (e.g. Hoxd11, Hoxd12, and Hoxd13) around the ZPA through pterosaur‐specific exploitation of sonic hedgehog (SHH) signalling. 5′Hoxd genes could then influence downstream bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling to facilitate chondrocyte proliferation in long bones. Potential expression of Fgf10 and Tbx3 in the primordium of the brachiopatagium formed posterior to the forelimb bud might also facilitate elongation of the phalanges of the fourth finger. To establish the flight‐adapted musculoskeletal morphology shared by all volant vertebrates, pterosaurs probably underwent regulatory changes in the expression of genes controlling forelimb and pectoral girdle musculoskeletal development (e.g. Tbx5), as well as certain changes in the mode of cell–cell interactions between muscular and connective tissues in the early phase of their evolution. Developmental data now accumulating for extant vertebrate taxa could be helpful in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of body‐plan evolution in extinct vertebrates as well as extant vertebrates with unique morphology whose embryonic materials are hard to obtain.
Cultural Variations in the Development of Mind Reading
Authors: Slaughter Virginia , Perez‐Zapata Daniel 
Published: October 2014

AbstractIn this article, we summarize research on the development of mind reading in different cultural contexts. Much of this work has focused on the mind‐reading concept of false belief, that is, children's ability to predict what an actor is likely to do based on what he or she thinks. In all cultures tested, individuals acquire this skill in childhood, but differ cross‐culturally in the age of acquisition. Studies exploring the development of other aspects of mind reading reinforce the conclusion that culture influences when and how children understand the mind.
Why Puberty Matters for Psychopathology
Authors: Mendle Jane 
Published: October 2014

AbstractFew periods of the life span are as dynamic, tumultuous, and emotionally salient as puberty. The combination of biological and social change during this transition contributes to sweeping shifts in the prevalence and nature of psychopathology. In this article, I highlight the role of puberty in psychological well‐being, reviewing both individual and population‐wide trends in psychological symptoms and disorders. Emphasis is on three domains associated with maturation: typicality of symptoms, epidemiological shifts, and individual differences.
Children's Coping and Adjustment in High‐Conflict Homes: The Reformulation of Emotional Security Theory
Authors: Davies Patrick , Martin Meredith 
Published: October 2014

AbstractRepeated exposure to interparental conflict increases children's vulnerability to a range of psychological problems by undermining their emotional security in the relationship between parents. However, emotional security theory in its original form lacks the depth and precision to guide hypotheses regarding individual differences in the nature, precursors, and sequelae of children's emotional security. In this article, we summarize a reformulated version of the theory to address this gap. Specifically, we focus on the ways in which the reformulated theory can elucidate: (a) the nature and developmental implications of systematically characterizing the inner workings of emotional security as a goal system, (b) the relative potency of family characteristics as sources of individual differences in children's emotional security, and (c) processes associated with developmental cascades that account for how and why emotional insecurity is linked to a range of psychological problems.
Parenting Influences on Executive Function in Early Childhood: A Review
Authors: Fay‐Stammbach Tracey , Hawes David J. , Meredith Pamela 
Published: October 2014

AbstractDevelopmental processes critical to the emergence of executive function (EF) play out across early childhood—a period of rapid change and neural plasticity. The emergence of self‐regulatory capacities is highly embedded in the many contexts or ecologies nested within a child's broader environment, among which the parent–child relationship assumes primary importance. However, only recently have early childhood researchers begun to investigate the contributions of parenting variables to EF. In this article, we review this emerging evidence as it pertains to (a) the parenting behaviors associated with EF, (b) the risk and protective factors that moderate these associations, and (c) the mechanisms through which parenting apparently operates on emerging EF. We also discuss directions for research on transactional parent–child dynamics, experimental tests of causation, and differential susceptibility to environmental influences.

Published: October 2014

AbstractBackgroundAllograft fresh‐frozen bone (FFB) is an alternative to autogenous bone for oral implantation due to bone quantity availability and lower morbidity for patients. Few specific studies about the use of FFB for reconstructing the posterior mandibular alveolar crest have been conducted.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate histological, histomorphometrical, and volumetric aspects of FFB allografts used to augment atrophied posterior mandible bone ridges.Materials and methodsSixteen hemi‐mandibles of twelve patients presenting with critical alveolar atrophy were three‐dimensionally reconstructed using corticocancellous FFB. Thirty blocks were fixed with titanium screws and covered with particulate bovine bone mineral and collagen membrane. Volumetric data were obtained by cone beam computed tomography analysis after 6 months, implants were inserted, and bone biopsies were harvested and sent for histological and histomorphometric analyses.ResultsThe blocks were distributed between nine female and three male patients (mean age, 50.9 ± 8.3 years). Thirty implants were installed, and the implant survival rate was 96.66%. Histology demonstrated newly formed vital bone contacting residual acellular allograft bone and connective tissue. The histomorphometric analysis showed 18.9 ± 8.1% newly formed bone and 32.5 ± 14.8% allograft residual bone. Graft absorption was 45% for height and volume, and both measures were significantly different (P < 0.001).ConclusionFresh‐frozen allografts are a viable alternative for reconstructing an atrophied mandible in the posterior region, allowing for new bone formation, installation of implants, and prosthetic loading.
