The role of branding capability for innovative companies
Authors: Lei Xinghui , Ye Tingting , Abimbola Temi 
Published: October 2013

Purpose– This paper is devoted to describe how innovation should be branded and bridge the gap between branding and innovation, where the role of branding capability is crucial. The study aims to discuss the link between branding and innovation, both theoretically and empirically.Design/methodology/approach– On the basis of current resource-based theory and dynamic capabilities theory and brand management, the research explores the role of branding capability for innovative companies. For the empirical part, an event study is first used to calculate the abnormal returns from new product announcement. Second, different regression models are analyzed to check the effect of branding capability on the stock market reaction to new product announcements made by those innovative companies.Findings– The stock market response to new product announcements is related to branding capability, but negatively. The reason could be that the more famous the brand is, the higher expectations the investors would hold with its new products.Research limitations/implications– The empirical study is based on the computer/electronics industry, and the pooled sample consists of those strong brands in the marketplace, which is not representative for the innovative companies as a whole. Thus, this paper has limited scope to generalize the results.Practical implications– With the development of wireless communication technologies, the new offerings from innovative companies would not be simply categorized by tangible devices or intangible services. Moreover, the brand alliance strategy in the tablet and handset market, or even PCs and netbook market, is much more complicated than simply choosing partners.Originality/value– The main contribution of this paper is to extend the prior researches in branded innovation and fill in the gap between innovation and brand.
The effect of culturally-determined entry mode on firm performance in the global retail industry
Authors: Roh Taewoo , Cho Dong-Sung , Moon Hwy-Chang , Lee Yun-Cheol 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– The aim of this study is to examine the entry mode that retail firms correctly choose when culture is simultaneously considered has a positive effect on firm performance.

Design/methodology/approach
– This study relies on the two-step analysis originally derived from Heckman and applied into multinational enterprises (MNEs) entry mode by Shaver. To figure out the probability of entry mode in the first step, the paper uses the logit regression that independent variable is four culture dimensions and dependent variable is the entry mode (joint venture vs wholly owned subsidiary). Since the selection bias is relatively reduced by adding lambda calculated in the first step to the second step that verifies the degree of fit, the safety for interpretation of subsequent models is secured.

Findings
– This study collected 96 entries of top global retail firms and found out the relationship between culturally determined entry mode and firm performance is positively significant. While existing literatures dealing with manufacturing firms' international entries showed that wholly owned subsidiary is favored over joint venture when the cultural distance is high, this study focusing on retail firms in the service sector indicates that those firms are more likely to enter the global market with joint venture. Finally, firms that appropriately understand cultural distance demonstrated higher performance in the target country.

Originality/value
– This study focuses on the relationship between culturally determined entry mode and firm performance in the service sector, whereas extant literatures heavily depend on the one in the manufacturing sector. Moreover, the two-step analysis is exquisitely adopted to confirm the hypotheses.
Airport service quality drivers of passenger satisfaction
Authors: Bogicevic Vanja , Yang Wan , Bilgihan Anil , Bujisic Milos 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– Considering the complexity of the airport industry service palette, it is important to identify which air travel factors are distractors and which factors are enhancers of passenger satisfaction. Building on Herzberg's two-factor motivation theory, this study aims to explore most frequently mentioned attributes of airport service quality and distinguish key drivers for passenger satisfaction/dissatisfaction in the airport context.

Design/methodology/approach
– A content analysis of 1,095 traveler comments posted between 2010 and 2013 on an airport review web site was performed in order to identify satisfiers/dissatisfiers. The web spider randomly selected consumer comments related to 33 popular destinations.

Findings
– The study results indicated key satisfiers in the airport context such as cleanliness and pleasant environment to spend time in. On the other side, security-check, confusing signage and poor dining offer are recognized as major dissatisfiers in the airport setting.

Practical implications
– The study findings provide insight on predominant satisfiers, dissastisfiers and performance factors of airport service quality from passengers' perspectives. Airport management teams may use the study results to renovate airport facility and improve service quality.

Originality/value
– To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to utilize the visual data mining techniques in examining airport users' experience. Visualization produced summaries of qualitative comments in the form of tag clouds, word networks, and word tree images that help discover the most emerging themes of travelers' complaints and compliments.
Conceptualising Ideational Novelty: A Relational Approach
Authors: Carstensen Martin B. 
Published: October 2013

Research Highlights and Abstract This article Gives clearer conceptualisation of what an idea is. Provides clearer conceptualisation of how ideas may change over time. Uses central arguments from relational sociology and conceptual analysis in discursive institutionalism. Provides new theoretical perspectives on ideational change in wake of the recent financial- and economic crisis. How can we conceptualise the emergence of new political ideas? Demonstrating that the discursive institutionalist literature is silent on this question, the article links this theoretical lacuna to the problem of ideational infinite regress, i.e. that if we try to identify the absolute origin of an idea, we find that the relations to other ideational elements develop ad infinitum and the end or beginning of the idea never appears. Ideas do not emerge from an absolute origin but instead are created when a set of ideational elements are yoked together by political actors. Three ways that ideational change occurs is suggested: a change in the relations in the idea (recasting the idea), the replacement of at least one of the existing ideational elements with ideational elements hitherto not part of the idea (renewing the idea) and finally a wholesale change of ideational elements in the idea (revolutionising the idea).
Transnational Veto Players and the Practice of Financial Reform
Authors: Tsingou Eleni 
Published: October 2013

Research Highlights and Abstract Concepts from domestic and comparative politics can be applied in a transnational context; the article develops the notion of ‘transnational veto players'to explain the practice of financial reform. Understanding the nature of constituency in a transnational context is important for explanations of actor preferences and the mode of policy that ensues. While actors involved in global standard-setting in finance have formal defined constituencies, when operating in a transnational setting their interactions render their constituencies diffuse, including peers and other interlocutors. In transnational settings, actors act as veto players by defining and delimiting the pool of ideas available for reform. ‘Too big to fail’ has been highlighted as an important target for reform but the resulting changes in the regulatory treatment of large financial institutions do not alter their core functions. Policy processes in transnational settings are shaped by actors whose approval and consent are required for reform to take place. These ‘transnational veto players'frame and delimit policy options. The concept of ‘transnational veto players’ is developed through an empirical analysis of global reforms in the regulatory treatment of large financial institutions deemed ‘too big to fail’. Actors debating and developing policy on ‘too big to fail’ may have formal defined constituencies, as regulators, academics or lobbying organisations, but in their transnational interactions they are also informed by a diffuse constituency of peers through their multiple associations within policy communities. These interactions determine which policy ideas are permissible and how they are adopted. The ‘too big to fail’ case shows how reform activity to curtail the risks posed by large financial institutions may also inadvertently strengthen their position as transnational veto players.
Is excess male infant mortality from sudden infant death syndrome and other respiratory diseases X‐linked?
Authors: Mage David T , Donner E Maria 
Published: October 2013

AbstractAimMale excess infant mortality is well known but unexplained. In 2004, we reported sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and other infant respiratory deaths showed a ~50% male excess in the United States between 1979 and 2002. This study analyses expanded US data from 1968 to 2010 to see whether infant respiratory deaths still show similar ~50% male excess and may be X‐linked.MethodsThe analysis compared infant mortality data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1968–2010, with 11 World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases (ICD) rubric groups for respiratory deaths by accidents, congenital anomalies, respiratory diseases and causes unknown.ResultsThe 11 ICD groupings presented male excesses of ~50% and combining the 453 953 US cases produced a male fraction of 0.6034, a 52.1% male excess. A further 72 380 non‐US respiratory cases showed a similar 0.6055 male fraction, a 53.5% male excess.ConclusionThe constant ~50% male excess for quite different causes of respiratory death suggests they all have a common terminal event and that is acute anoxic encephalopathy. We hypothesise that this constant male excess phenomenon must be caused by a single X‐linked gene, with a recessive condition, leading to a predisposition to succumb to acute anoxic encephalopathy.
2 Territoriality and Politics in the Prehistoric and Classical Aegean
Authors: Bintliff John L. 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACTClassical archaeologists are familiar with boundaries, because in Greco Roman society they are itemized in historical sources and inscriptions, as well as visible through stone boundary markers. I examine evidence for formal territoriality (emphasizing restricted access to parts of the landscape) in earlier and later periods of ancient Greece to determine how far back in time political territoriality (the exercise of power over the landscape) began and to examine how it changed following the Classical era.

Therapeutic Targeting of the JAK/STAT Pathway
Authors: Aittomäki Saara , Pesu Marko 
Published: October 2013

AbstractAntibodies that block cytokine function provide a powerful therapeutic tool especially for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Cytokines are a group of small hydrophilic glycoproteins that bind their receptors on the cell surface and subsequently activate intracellular signalling cascades, such as the JAK/STAT pathway. A bulk of evidence has demonstrated that genetic mutations in signalling molecules can cause immunodeficiencies and malignant cell growth. As a result, several drug companies have begun to develop therapeutics that inhibit the function of JAK tyrosine kinases. Currently, two JAK inhibitors, tofacitinib and ruxolitinib, are used in the clinic for treating rheumatoid arthritis and myeloproliferative diseases, respectively. Inhibiting JAK function has been shown to efficiently prevent the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells and to harness overly active immune cells. In the future, other small molecule compounds are likely to come into clinical use, and intense work is ongoing to develop inhibitors that specifically target the constitutively active mutant JAKs. This MiniReview will summarize the basic features of the JAK/STAT pathway, its role in human disease and the therapeutic potential of JAK/STAT inhibitors.
Importance of Crown Height Ratios in Dental Implants on the Fracture Strength of Different Connection Designs: An In Vitro Study
Authors: Gehrke Sergio Alexandre 
Published: October 2013

AbstractPurposeThe aim of the present in vitro study was to assess the resistance to static fatigue of implants with different connections at various crown heights.Materials and MethodsSixty conical implants and 60 abutments were used with the smallest diameters available for each model. Three groups (n = 20) were established based on the implant connections: Morse taper Ø3.50 mm (group 1), external hexagon Ø3.50 mm (group 2), and internal hexagon Ø3.50 mm (group 3). Four crown heights were tested: h1 = 8 mm, h2 = 10 mm, h3 = 12 mm, and h4 = 14 mm. All groups were subjected to quasi‐static loading at a 30° angle to the implant axis in a universal testing machine.ResultsThe mean fracture strengths for group 1 were 1524 N (h1), 1469 N (h2), 750 N (h3), and 729 N (h4). Those for group 2 were 1504 N (h1), 814 N (h2), 491 N (h3), and 325 N (h4). Those for group 3 were 1543 N (h1), 672 N (h2), 403 N (h3), and 390 N (h4).ConclusionsResistance to loading decreases significantly with increasing crown height, and the connection design can affect the performance.
Conserving potential coral reef refuges at high latitudes
Authors: Beger Maria , Sommer Brigitte , Harrison Peter L. , Smith Stephen D.A. , Pandolfi John M. 
Published: October 2013

AbstractAimHigh‐latitude coral reef communities composed of tropical, subtropical and temperate species are heralded as climate change refuges for vulnerable tropical coral reef species, giving them high, but as yet unrealized, conservation priority. We review the ecology of subtropical reefs in the context of climate change and evaluate management strategies ensuring both their own continuity and their potential to act as refuges for tropical species.LocationGlobal high‐latitude coral reef environments.MethodsWe review the literature about refuges management, high‐latitude reefs, climate change effects on reef organisms and the conservation of reefs.ResultsHigh‐latitude coral reef systems are functionally different from their tropical counterparts, characterized by unique biogeographical overlap of taxa at their range margins, endemic species and strong seasonality in species composition. They are shaped by marginal environmental conditions, which are predicted to undergo greater changes than reefs at lower latitudes, resulting in community re‐assembly through range shifts, altered dispersal patterns, survivorship and habitat loss. The combined impact of these changes, however, is difficult to assess, as some effects may be antagonistic. Climate change conservation options include passive management strategies such as no‐take reserves that aim to minimize local disturbances, and active strategies such as relocating populations to refuge sites. Success of active intervention relies on the long‐term persistence of relocated populations, which is unlikely for high‐latitude populations once source tropical populations at lower latitudes are locally extinct.Main conclusionHigh‐latitude reefs are poised for rapid modification under climate change. Management should anticipate these changes by setting up no‐take reserves on suitable subtropical reefs now to foster ecosystem resilience through reduced anthropogenic impacts. Given the uncertainty over which species will arrive or depart and lack of knowledge about the history of most subtropical reef development, active management is presently not the best use of management resources.
A review of evidence about behavioural and psychological aspects of chronic joint pain among people with haemophilia
Authors: Elander J. 
Published: October 2013

SummaryJoint pain related to haemophilia affects large numbers of people and has a significant impact on their quality of life. This article reviews evidence about behavioural and psychological aspects of joint pain in haemophilia, and considers that evidence in the context of research on other chronic pain conditions. The aim is to inform initiatives to improve pain self‐management among people with haemophilia (PWH). Reduced pain intensity predicts better physical quality of life, so better pain management should lead to improved physical quality of life. Increased pain acceptance predicts better mental quality of life, so acceptance‐based approaches to self‐management could potentially be adapted for PWH. Pain self‐management interventions could include elements designed to: improve assessment of pain; increase understanding of the difference between acute and chronic pain; improve adherence to clotting factor treatment; improve knowledge and understanding about the benefits and costs of using pain medications; improve judgements about what is excessive use of pain medication; increase motivation to self‐manage pain; reduce negative emotional thinking about pain; and increase pain acceptance. The influence of behavioural and psychological factors related to pain are similar in haemophilia and other chronic pain conditions, so there should be scope for self‐management approaches and interventions developed for other chronic pain conditions to be adapted for haemophilia, provided that careful account is taken of the need to respond promptly to acute bleeding pain by administering clotting factor.
Genome‐Wide‐Associated Variants in Migraine Susceptibility: A Replication Study From North India
Authors: Ghosh Jayashri , Pradhan Sunil , Mittal Balraj 
Published: October 2013

ObjectiveGenome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have identified various migraine susceptibility variants. We aim to replicate 5 GWAS‐associated polymorphisms (rs1835740, LRP1 rs11172113, TRPM8 rs10166942, PRDM16 rs2651899, and TGFBR2 rs7640453) in the North Indian population. Furthermore, we checked the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the selected variants. We also undertook to predict the functional effect (in silico) of the variants.DesignThe study included 340 migraineurs and 200 controls. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction‐restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR‐RFLP), amplification‐refractory mutation system (ARMS)‐PCR, and Taqman. Logistic regression was used for association analysis. LD plot was prepared using genotyping data retrieved from ENCODE and HapMart. Functional effect was predicted by functional SNP (F‐SNP)and FastSNP.ResultsWe did not observe any significant effect of the variant genotype or allele of the first migraine GWAS associated marker, rs1835740. However, significance was observed in case of heterozygous genotype for total migraineurs and migraine without aura (MO). We suggest potential protective effect of LRP1 rs11172113 polymorphism in migraine susceptibility. PRDM16 rs2651899 variant genotype and allele showed a protective effect on migraine and MO susceptibility. On the other hand, TRPM8 rs10166942 and TGFBR2 rs7640543 variants did not have significant influence on migraine susceptibility in the North Indian population. Most of the selected SNPs (except LRP1 rs11172113) and some of the SNPs in strong LD were predicted to affect transcriptional regulation. Functional effect of LRP1 rs11172113 variant could not be predicted, but another SNP in the same LD block was found to affect transcription factor binding sites.ConclusionWe report significant influence of rs1835740, LRP1 rs11172113 and PRDM16 rs2651899 polymorphisms on migraine susceptibility in the North Indian population. Finally, we present the first replication study of GWAS‐associated polymorphisms in a population other than European.

Authors: Jimtaisong A. , Saewan N. 
Published: October 2013

SynopsisCarboxymethyl chitosan is a chitosan derivative of the most intensively investigated due to its water solubility in wider pH range compared with the parent compound, thus extended its use in various applications. In this review, different preparation conditions, which resulting in the N‐ and O‐carboxylated chitosan, diverse degree of substitution and water solubility are recapitulated. Five important features of carboxymethyl chitosan from recent studies, which are moisture absorption–retention, anti‐microbial properties, antioxidant capacities, delivery system and emulsion stabilization, have been centred and emphasized for cosmetic utilization. Additionally, cytotoxicity information has been inclusively incorporated to ensure its safety in application.
Vitamin B12 and folate deficiency: should we use a different cutoff value for hematologic disorders?
Authors: Toprak B. , Yalcın H. Z. , Colak A. 
Published: October 2013

SummaryIntroductionAnemia and macrocytosis are well‐defined expected hematologic findings of vitamin B12 and folate deficiency; however, some previous studies did not show a significant association of subnormal B12 with anemia and macrocytosis.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 17 713 laboratory patient records to evaluate vitamin B12 and folate levels in relation to anemia and macrocytosis.ResultsIn an age‐ and sex‐adjusted logistic regression model, low B12 status but not marginal B12 status was significantly associated with anemia [ORs respectively, 1.291 (95% CI, 1.182–1.410), 1.022 (95% CI, 0.943–1.108)] and macrocytosis [ORs, respectively, 3.853 (95% CI, 3.121–4.756), 1.031 (95% CI, 0.770–1.381)]. Also low folate status but not marginal folate status was significantly associated with anemia [adjusted ORs, respectively, 1.819 (95% CI, 1.372–2.411), 1.101 (95% CI, 0.931–1.301)] and macrocytosis [adjusted ORs, respectively, 2.945 (95% CI, 1.747–4.965), 1.228 (95% CI, 0.795–1.898)].ConclusionOur results show that increased anemia and macrocytosis are observed at values below commonly used B12 lower‐reference thresholds. Determining a hematologic cutoff value may help physicians in clinical practice.
Feminists who flaunt it: exploring the enjoyment of sexualization among young feminist women
Authors: Erchull Mindy J. , Liss Miriam 
Published: October 2013

AbstractThe phenomenon of women enjoying sexualized male attention has recently been operationalized and found to be related to primarily traditional and sexist beliefs, but some argue that enjoying sexiness can be a feminist act. This study assessed the extent to which 326 self‐identified heterosexual feminist women reported that they enjoyed sexualization and how this related to beliefs about the need for social change. Results indicated that enjoying sexualization was related to a mix of feminist and traditional beliefs. Paradoxically, feminists who enjoyed sexualization felt empowered but were less likely to notice personal social injustice or continued gender inequity. Whether embracing empowered sexuality is related to a more general gender empowerment is discussed.
