Videography in marketing research: mixing art and science
Authors: Petr Christine , Belk Russell , Decrop Alain 
Published: April 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to present videography as a rising method available for academics. Visuals are increasingly omnipresent in the modern society. As they become easy to create and use, videos are no longer only for ethnographers and specialist researchers.Design/methodology/approach– In the society of “user-content generation,” visual data are incredibly important, original, and powerful sources providing researchers with opportunities to inventively make their results more resonant and more broadly accessible.Findings– Moreover, videography offers the opportunity for researchers to become a kind of artist since they become visual producers.Practical implications– This paper offers concrete advices for researchers who want to to become visual producers.Social implications– Researchers have to make their results more resonant and more broadly accessable.Originality/value– Videography is a new way (an artistic one) to present results of research.
Benchmarking the efficiencies of Indonesia’s municipal water utilities using Stackelberg data envelopment analysis
Authors: Wibowo Andreas , Alfen Hans Wilhelm 
Published: April 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present a yardstick efficiency comparison of 269 Indonesian municipal water utilities (MWUs) and measures the impact of exogenous environmental variables on efficiency scores.

Design/methodology/approach
– Two-stage Stackelberg leader-follower data envelopment analysis (DEA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) were employed.

Findings
– Given that serviceability was treated as the leader and profitability as the follower, the first and second stage DEA scores were 55 and 32 percent (0 percent = totally inefficient, 100 percent = perfectly efficient), respectively. This indicates sizeable opportunities for improvement, with 39 percent of the total sample facing serious problems in both first- and second-stage efficiencies. When profitability instead leads serviceability, this results in more decreased efficiency. The size of the population served was the most important exogenous environmental variable affecting DEA efficiency scores in both the first and second stages.

Research limitations/implications
– The present study was limited by the overly restrictive assumption that all MWUs operate at a constant-return-to-scale.

Practical implications
– These research findings will enable better management of the MWUs in question, allowing their current level of performance to be objectively compared with that of their peers, both in terms of scale and area of operation. These findings will also help the government prioritize assistance measures for MWUs that are suffering from acute performance gaps, and to devise a strategic national plan to revitalize Indonesia’s water sector.

Originality/value
– This paper enriches the body of knowledge by filling in knowledge gaps relating to benchmarking in Indonesia’s water industry, as well as in the application of ensemble two-stage DEA and ANN, which are still rare in the literature.
What does the way crime was organised yesterday tell us about the way crime is organised today and will be tomorrow?
Authors: Tupman Bill 
Published: April 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to assess what an overview of theoretical literature and case study material can tell us about the different ways crime has been organised in the past in different cultures and whether this has any impact on the ways in which crime may be organised in the present and the future.Design/methodology/approach– The analysis is based on an examination of Mcintyre’s work on how crime is organised and later political, economic and civil society views of criminality. Brief discussion of case studies involving the UK, The Netherlands, the Arab world, Ethiopia and Russia is used to see how crime was organised there in the past.Findings– There is a greater variety of variables in the way crime was organised historically than McIntyre suggests, and an examination of civil society might pay greater dividends than even looking at politics or economic aspects of organised crime.Research limitations/implications– The study is preliminary. More historical case study material needs to be accessed.Originality/value– There are many research case studies, particularly at PhD level and in subjects other than criminology, such as history, language studies and cultural studies generally, which have not been brought together to present an overall picture. This paper is a first step in that direction.
Reverse money laundering in Russia: clean cash for dirty ends
Authors: Zabyelina Yuliya G. 
Published: April 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of and comment on various aspects of reverse money laundering, whereby, instead of “washing” criminal proceeds to make them legal, legitimate funds are withdrawn from formal circulation and pumped into the informal sector to evade taxes, hand in bribes, pay “under-the-table” salaries and sidestep paperwork.

Design/methodology/approach
– The paper is divided into two parts. The theoretical part reviews the relevant academic literature and discusses the role of cash as a dominant medium of exchange in the underground economy. The empirical part is grounded on a qualitative analysis of several case studies of fraudulent encashment schemes all of which illustrate how reverse money laundering works.

Findings
– The findings suggest that fraudulent encashment, a type of reverse money laundering, is performed via bank and non-bank institutions. Importantly, methods and techniques used in conventional forms of money laundering are also used in reverse money laundering schemes.

Originality/value
– Despite a large volume of literature on money laundering, reverse money laundering remains an understudied area. This paper discusses the peculiarities of illegal transfers of non-cash assets into cash, which have been the pronounced problem in Russia and other post-Soviet countries since the 1990s.
Workplace-based clinical leadership training increases willingness to lead
Authors: MacPhail Aleece , Young Carmel , Ibrahim Joseph Elias 
Published: April 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon a workplace-based, interdisciplinary clinical leadership training programme (CLP) to increase willingness to take on leadership roles in a large regional health-care centre in Victoria, Australia. Strengthening the leadership capacity of clinical staff is an advocated strategy for improving patient safety and quality of care. An interdisciplinary approach to leadership is increasingly emphasised in the literature; however, externally sourced training programmes are expensive and tend to target a single discipline.

Design/methodology/approach
– Appraisal of the first two years of CLP using multiple sourced feedback. A structured survey questionnaire with closed-ended questions graded using a five-point Likert scale was completed by participants of the 2012 programme. Participants from the 2011 programme were followed up for 18 months after completion of the programme to identify the uptake of new leadership roles. A reflective session was also completed by a senior executive staff that supported the implementation of the programme.

Findings
– Workplace-based CLP is a low-cost and multidisciplinary alternative to externally sourced leadership courses. The CLP significantly increased willingness to take on leadership roles. Most participants (93 per cent) reported that they were more willing to take on a leadership role within their team. Fewer were willing to lead at the level of department (79 per cent) or organisation (64 per cent). Five of the 11 participants from the 2011 programme had taken on a new leadership role 18 months later. Senior executive feedback was positive especially around the engagement and building of staff confidence. They considered that the CLP had sufficient merit to support continuation for at least another two years.

Originality/value
– Integrating health-care professionals into formal and informal leadership roles is essential to implement organisational change as part of the drive to improve the safety and quality of care for patients and service users. This is the first interdisciplinary, workplace-based leadership programme to be described in the literature, and demonstrates that it is possible to deliver low-cost, sustainable and productive training that increases the willingness to take on leadership roles.
Leading processes of patient care and treatment in hierarchical healthcare organizations in Sweden – process managers’ experiences
Authors: Nilsson Kerstin , Sandoff Mette 
Published: April 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this study is to gain better understanding of the roles and functions of process managers by describing Swedish process managers’ experiences of leading processes involving patient care and treatment when working in a hierarchical health-care organization.

Design/methodology/approach
– This study is based on an explorative design. The data were gathered from interviews with 12 process managers at three Swedish hospitals. These data underwent qualitative and interpretative analysis with a modified editing style.

Findings
– The process managers’ experiences of leading processes in a hierarchical health-care organization are described under three themes: having or not having a mandate, exposure to conflict situations and leading process development. The results indicate a need for clarity regarding process manager’s responsibility and work content, which need to be communicated to all managers and staff involved in the patient care and treatment process, irrespective of department. There also needs to be an emphasis on realistic expectations and orientation of the goals that are an intrinsic part of the task of being a process manager.

Research limitations/implications
– Generalizations from the results of the qualitative interview studies are limited, but a deeper understanding of the phenomenon was reached, which, in turn, can be transferred to similar settings.

Originality/value
– This study contributes qualitative descriptions of leading care and treatment processes in a functional, hierarchical health-care organization from process managers’ experiences, a subject that has not been investigated earlier.
Catchment zoning for freshwater conservation: refining plans to enhance action on the ground
Authors: Hermoso Virgilio , Cattarino Lorenzo , Kennard Mark J. , Watts Mathew , Linke Simon 
Published: April 2015

SummaryRecent advances in freshwater conservation planning allow addressing some of the specific needs of these systems. These include spatial connectivity or propagation of threats along stream networks, essential to ensure the maintenance of ecosystem processes and the biodiversity they sustain. However, these peculiarities make conservation recommendations difficult to implement as they often require considering large areas that cannot be managed under conventional conservation schemes (e.g. strict protection).To facilitate the implementation of conservation in freshwater systems, a multizoning approach with different management zones subject to different management regimes was proposed. So far, this approach has only been used inpost hocexercises where zones were allocated using expert criteria. This might undermine the cost‐effectiveness of conservation recommendations, because both the allocation and extent of these zones have never been optimized using the principles of systematic planning.Here, we demonstrate how to create a catchment multizone plan by using a commonly applied tool in marine and terrestrial realms. We first test the capability of Marxan with Zones to address problems in rivers by using a simulated example and then apply the findings to a real case in the Daly River catchment, northern Australia. We also demonstrate how to address common conservation planning issues, such as accounting for threats or species‐specific connectivity needs in this multizone framework, and evaluate their effects on the spatial distribution and extent of different zones.We found that by prioritizing the allocation of zones subject to different management regimes, we could minimize the total area in need of strict conservation by a twofold factor. This reduction can be further reduced (threefold) when considering species’ connectivity needs. The integration of threats helped reduce the average threats of areas selected by a twofold factor.Synthesis and applications. Catchment zoning can help refine conservation recommendations and enhance cost‐effectiveness by prescribing different management regimes informed by ecological needs or distribution of threats. Reliable information on these factors is a key to ensure soundness of planning. Freely available software can be used to implement the approach we demonstrate here.
Individual size inequality links forest diversity and above‐ground biomass
Authors: Zhang Yu , Chen Han Y. H. 
Published: April 2015

Summary

Despite the mounting evidence for positive diversity–productivity relationships found in controlled experiments, diversity effects on productivity in natural systems remain hotly debated. Understanding the multivariate links between diversity and productivity in natural systems, in particular natural forests that host the majority of terrestrial biodiversity and provide essential services for humanity, remains a critical challenge for ecologists.

We analysed data from 448 plots of varying tree species diversity, stand ages and local nutrient availability in Canada's boreal forest (52°30′–55°24′ N latitude and 102°36′–108° W longitude). We used structural equation models to link multivariate relationships between above‐ground biomass, tree species diversity, stand age and soil nutrient availability.

Above‐ground biomass increased with diversity indirectly via increasing tree size inequality, increased with stand age and was higher on sites of medium soil nutrient regime directly as well as indirectly via increased tree size inequality.

Synthesis. Our results demonstrate positive diversity effects on above‐ground biomass in natural forests of diverse forest ages and soil resource availability. Furthermore, we show that tree size inequality acts as a mechanism for the positive diversity effects on above‐ground biomass and as a mechanism in regulating above‐ground biomass and species diversity simultaneously via interactions among individuals in natural forests.

SummaryThe bacterioplankton diversity in large rivers has thus far been under‐sampled despite the importance of streams and rivers as components of continental landscapes. Here, we present a comprehensive dataset detailing the bacterioplankton diversity along the midstream of the Danube River and its tributaries. Using 16S rRNA‐gene amplicon sequencing, our analysis revealed that bacterial richness and evenness gradually declined downriver in both the free‐living and particle‐associated bacterial communities. These shifts were also supported by beta diversity analysis, where the effects of tributaries were negligible in regards to the overall variation. In addition, the river was largely dominated by bacteria that are commonly observed in freshwaters. Dominated by the acI lineage, the freshwater SAR11 (LD12) and the Polynucleobacter group, typical freshwater taxa increased in proportion downriver and were accompanied by a decrease in soil and groundwater‐affiliated bacteria. Based on views of the meta‐community and River Continuum Concept, we interpret the observed taxonomic patterns and accompanying changes in alpha and beta diversity with the intention of laying the foundation for a unified concept for river bacterioplankton diversity.
Indoor air bacterial communities in Hong Kong households assemble independently of occupant skin microbiomes
Authors: Wilkins David , Leung Marcus HY , Lee Patrick KH 
Published: April 2015

SummaryMore than in any other habitat, humans exert a large influence on microbial communities indoors. Frequent contact between occupant skin and indoor surfaces causes indoor surface microbial communities to be largely assembled from and thus closely resemble occupant skin microbiomes. While indoor air and dust are known to also contain many human‐associated taxa, household air communities have not yet been directly compared with occupant skin microbiomes. We sampled microorganisms from air, surfaces and occupant skin in 19 Hong Kong households and used Illumina sequencing of the V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene to investigate the dispersal relationships between the bacterial communities at each site. Our results confirmed that indoor surfaces bear the ‘bacterial fingerprint’ of household occupant skin. However, while air communities contained abundant human‐associated taxa and were household specific, air communities in each household did not resemble occupant skin from that household any more than occupant skin from other households. Our results suggest that, at least in Hong Kong, indoor air bacterial communities may be assembled largely from outdoor air and occupant body sites other than skin, and unlike surface communities do not harbour the occupants' skin ‘bacterial fingerprint’.
Breast cancer diagnosis: biographical disruption, emotional experiences and strategic management in Thai women with breast cancer
Authors: Liamputtong Pranee , Suwankhong Dusanee 
Published: April 2015

AbstractIn this article we draw on Bury's theory of biographical disruption to discuss the meanings of, and emotional experiences related to, being diagnosed with breast cancer among southern Thai women. Qualitative methods, including in‐depth interviewing and drawing methods, were used to collect data from 20 women with breast cancer. The women perceived breast cancer to be a rhok raai; an evil or dread disease. They believed that breast cancer would lead to death. The disruption in their biography occurred when they detected abnormalities indicating breast cancer. The women's narratives revealed their chaotic lives upon this diagnosis and the news precipitated in them shock, fear, anxiety and loss of hope. Although they experienced chaos and disruption, the women cultivated strategies that helped them cope with their experiences by accepting their fate and adhering to Buddhist beliefs and practices. Through their narratives of biographical disruption, the women in our study offer healthcare providers knowledge that could lead to an appreciation of their needs and concerns. This knowledge is crucial for health professionals who wish to provide emotional support to women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in Thailand and elsewhere.
Review of Mechanical Properties, Migration, and Potential Applications in Active Food Packaging Systems Containing Nanoclays and Nanosilver
Authors: Kuorwel Kuorwel K. , Cran Marlene J. , Orbell John D. , Buddhadasa Saman , Bigger Stephen W. 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThe incorporation of nanomaterials into a range of polymeric materials shows great potential for developing new active food packaging systems. Although there are many suggested benefits of nanoparticles (NPs) in food packaging, there are also potential risks due to the possibility of such particles migrating into foodstuffs. This has obvious implications for human health and it may also negatively impact on marketing and consumer confidence. This review focuses on 2 particular types of nanomaterials: nanoclays and nanosilver, with a view to examining the effects of these on system mechanical properties (nanoclays) and antimicrobial efficacy (nanosilver). It further reports on the various migration studies, techniques for characterization, and measurement of NPs as well as the potential migration of NPs from packaging into foodstuffs. Assessment of the literature to date suggests there is an urgent need for further research in order to devise better NP detection methods and to determine the likelihood of their migration from packaging materials into foodstuffs.
An endogenous growth model for the evolution of water rights systems
Authors: Costa Lawrence W. 
Published: April 2015

AbstractThis article presents a model to help explain the transition path from one water management system to another, typically a commons framework to one of tradable permit‐based property rights. Furthermore, drawing from transaction cost literature, the model demonstrates how this takes place when externalities (the strain on water resources) become severe enough to warrant the increased transaction costs inherent with more complex water rights management frameworks.

Published: April 2015

AbstractPurposeTo investigate whether exposure to topical chloramphenicol in the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with congenital malformations.MethodsThe authors conducted a nationwide cohort study including all women giving live birth between 1997 and 2011 in Denmark. All women redeeming at least one prescription of chloramphenicol eye drops or eye ointment during the first 84 days of pregnancy were identified. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios of malformations among exposed women compared to non‐exposed women.Results966 372 births between 1997 and 2011 were included. A total of 6024 women were exposed to topical chloramphenicol in the first trimester. The rate of congenital malformations was 3.50% among offspring of exposed mothers and 3.49% among unexposed. Exposure to topical chloramphenicol in the first trimester was not associated with major congenital malformations (adjusted odds ratio = 1.06, 95% CI 0.91–1.22) or specific major malformations. The number of redeemed prescriptions decreased significantly during pregnancy as compared to before and after pregnancy (p < 0.0001).ConclusionIn this study, we found no association between dispensing of chloramphenicol eye drops or eye ointment in the first trimester of pregnancy and major congenital malformations. This is in accordance with a previous study analysing the risk of systemic chloramphenicol.

SummaryHaemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life‐threatening syndrome of immune dysregulation and is classified as primary or secondary according to the underlying aetiology. The treatment strategies recommended for these two groups differ substantially; however, it is thought to be impossible to predict the underlying causes of HLH using conventional laboratory tests. Recent studies show that serum levels of soluble interleukin‐2 receptor (sIL2R) and ferritin are useful for differentiating some forms of HLH. The present study reports that combinations of common laboratory parameters, such as the percentage of total lymphocytes within the peripheral blood leucocyte population, serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase and the sIL2R/ferritin ratio, are useful for identifying patients with familial haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and for differentiating the underlying aetiology of paediatric HLH during the early course of the disease. These findings suggest that the pathogenesis of HLH differs greatly in terms of innate and adaptive immunity depending on the aetiology and may provide a new approach to unravelling the complex pathophysiology underlying this syndrome.
