The civil law: a potent crime-fighting device
Authors: Ali Shazeeda 
Published: December 2013

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to increase the awareness of attorneys-at-law about the potential risks that they may encounter as a result of the developments in “intermeddler liability”. The article is also aimed at informing attorneys about the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) civil recovery machinery.

Design/methodology/approach
– The article is divided into two parts. The first part involves an analysis of the provisions in the POCA of Jamaica that invoke a civil machinery to recover criminally obtained wealth. In addition to a review of the main provisions of POCA, an examination of recent cases in Jamaica and in the UK, which has a similar legislative regime, has been undertaken. The legislative framework for providing a remedy to a victim of crime has also been examined. The second part of the article explores developments in the law of restitution and the law relating to constructive trusts which may impact lawyers and financial intermediaries who become engaged in transactions dealing with illicit funds.

Findings
– The first aspect of the article focuses on the ability of the Asset Recovery Agency to follow and recover illicitly obtained property in the absence of a criminal conviction. In the second part of the article, the evolution of the law relating to “intermeddler liability”, that is, knowing receipt and dishonest assistance, has been explored. It is observed that these developments are significant in providing a victim of financial crime with a remedy where the illicit activity involves a breach of trust or other fiduciary relationship.

Originality/value
– Much of the focus on anti-money laundering initiatives in Jamaica is on the money laundering offence and post-conviction orders under POCA. This article seeks to highlight the power of the civil law in countering serious crime.
Psychometric assessment of workaholism measures
Authors: Schou Andreassen Cecilie , Hetland Jørn , Pallesen Ståle 
Published: December 2013

Purpose
– Although the concept of workaholism has existed in the academic literature for decades, exploration of its measurements seems to lag behind. The purpose of this study is to present an investigation of the three most commonly used workaholism measures; the Workaholism Battery (WorkBAT), the Work Addiction Risk Test (WART) and the Dutch Work Addiction Scale (DUWAS) in terms of their cross-validation, their temporal stability and their factor structure.

Design/methodology/approach
– The three measures were administered to 661 cross-occupational Norwegian workers. A total of 368 of these completed the same measures 24-30 months later.

Findings
– The cross-validation showed that the correlations between the scores of the different instruments were too low to conclude that they measure the same construct. The 24-30 month test-retest reliability coefficients for the measures revealed that the scores were quite stable over time. None of the previously suggested factor solutions for the three measures had a good fit with the data. Explorative factor analyses supported a four-factor solution for the WorkBAT and for the WART. A two-factor solution for the DUWAS was found.

Research limitations/implications
– All the data are based on self-report, which might bias the results.

Practical implications
– Different workaholism measures cannot be used interchangeably.

Originality/value
– This is the first study that cross-validates the three most used workaholism measures and which investigates the reliability of these instruments over a long-term period (24-30 months).
On passion and heavy work investment: personal and organizational outcomes
Authors: Houlfort Nathalie , L. Philippe Frédérick , J. Vallerand Robert , Ménard Julie 
Published: December 2013

Purpose– The present research aimed to conceptually position passion for work as a predictor of HWI, as well as to assess the short and long-term influence of passion for work on workers' satisfaction, depression and turnover intentions. In addition, the paper tests whether the effects of passion for work were independent from those of work motivation.Design/methodology/approach– Hypotheses were tested in two field studies in work settings. The first study (n=2,393) was cross-sectional while the second study (n=335) used a prospective design.Findings– Harmonious passion was positively related to positive individual outcomes – higher work satisfaction, lower depression – and organizational outcomes – lower turnover intentions. Negative consequences – depression and turnover intentions – were positively related to obsessive passion. Furthermore, passion for work was found to be a distinct concept from work motivation as the above findings held even when controlling for work motivation.Research limitations/implications– Applications are limited to teachers. Only self-reported measures were used.Originality/value– The present research contributes significantly to the organizational and passion literature by showing that HWI may lead to either positive or negative outcomes depending on HWI's underlying motivational force, namely harmonious or obsessive passion. In addition, the present findings yield the first empirical evidence that passion and motivation are distinct but related concepts. In sum, findings from both studies provide valuable insights into the dynamics of passionate workers who are heavily invested in their work.
Coverage, field specialisation and the impact of scientific publishers indexed in the Book Citation Index
Authors: Torres-Salinas Daniel , Robinson-Garcia Nicolas , Miguel Campanario Juan , Delgado López-Cózar Emilio 
Published: December 2013

Purpose
– The aim of this study is to analyse the disciplinary coverage of Thomson Reuters' Book Citation Index database focusing on publisher presence, impact and specialisation.

Design/methodology/approach
– The authors conducted a descriptive study in which they examined coverage by discipline, publisher distribution by field and country of publication, and publisher impact. For this purpose the Thomson Reuters' subject categories were aggregated into 15 disciplines.

Findings
– Humanities and social sciences comprise 30 per cent of the total share of this database. Most of the disciplines are covered by very few publishers mainly from the UK and USA (75.05 per cent of the books), in fact 33 publishers hold 90 per cent of the whole share. Regarding publisher impact, 80.5 per cent of the books and chapters remained uncited. Two serious errors were found in this database: the Book Citation Index does not retrieve all citations for books and chapters; and book citations do not include citations to their chapters.

Originality/value
– There are currently no studies analysing in depth the coverage of this novel database which covers monographs.
Are web mentions accurate substitutes for inlinks for Spanish universities?
Authors: Luis Ortega José , Orduña-Malea Enrique , F. Aguillo Isidro 
Published: December 2013

Purpose
– Title and URL mentions have recently been proposed as web visibility indicators instead of inlink counts. The objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of these alternative web mention indicators in the Spanish academic system, taking into account their complexity (multi-domains) and diversity (different official languages).

Design/methodology/approach
– Inlinks, title and URL mentions from 76 Spanish universities were manually extracted from the main search engines (Google, Google Scholar, Yahoo!, Bing and Exalead). Several statistical methods, such as correlation, difference tests and regression models, were used.

Findings
– Web mentions, despite some limitations, can be used as substitutes for inlinks in the Spanish academic system, although these indicators are more likely to be influenced by the environment (language, web domain policy, etc.) than inlinks.

Research limitations/implications
– Title mentions provide unstable results caused by the multiple name variants which an institution can present (such as acronyms and other language versions). URL mentions are more stable, but they may present atypical points due to some shortcomings, the effect of which is that URL mentions do not have the same meaning as inlinks.

Practical implications
– Web mentions should be used with caution and after a cleaning-up process. Moreover, these counts do not necessarily signify connectivity, so their use in global web analysis should be limited.

Originality/value
– Web mentions have previously been used in some specific academic systems (US, UK and China), but this study analyses, in depth and for the first time, an entire non-English speaking European country (Spain), with complex academic web behaviour, which helps to better explain previous web mention results.
Semantic information retrieval research based on co-occurrence analysis
Authors: Lou Wen , Qiu Junping 
Published: December 2013

Purpose
– The paper aims to develop a new method for potential relations retrieval. It aims to find common aspects between co-occurrence analysis and ontology to build a model of semantic information retrieval based on co-occurrence analysis.

Design/methodology/approach
– This paper used a literature review, co-occurrence analysis, ontology build and other methods to design a model and process of semantic information retrieval based on co-occurrence analysis. Archaeological data from Wuhan University Library's bibliographic retrieval systems was used for experimental analysis.

Findings
– The literature review found that semantic information retrieval research mainly concentrates on ontology-based query techniques, semantic annotation and semantic relation retrieval. Moreover most recent systems can only achieve obvious relations retrieval. Ontology and co-occurrence analysis have strong similarities in theoretical ideas, data types, expressions, and applications.

Research limitations/implications
– The experiment data came from a Chinese university which perhaps limits its usefulness elsewhere.

Practical implications
– This paper constructed a model to understand potential relations retrieval. An experiment proved the feasibility of co-occurrence analysis used in semantic information retrieval. Compared with traditional retrieval, semantic information retrieval based on co-occurrence analysis is more user-friendly.

Originality/value
– This study is one of the first to combine co-occurrence analysis with semantic information retrieval to find detailed relationships.
Scrutinising the role of the Police and Crime Panel in the new era of police governance in England and Wales
Authors: Lister Stuart 
Published: December 2013

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of Police and Crime Panels (PCPs) within the new constitutional arrangements for governing police forces in England and Wales.

Design/methodology/approach
– Desktop research of the web pages of PCPs, combined with documentary analysis of reports of panel meetings and a literature review of relevant academic materials.

Findings
– During the first year of their operation the role of the PCP in the new constitutional arrangements for governing police forces in England and Wales has been widely criticised. This paper explores reasons that may impinge on the effectiveness of these local bodies to scrutinise how Police and Crime Commissioners discharge their statutory functions. In particular, it draws attention to the limited powers of the panel, the contradictions of the “critical/friend” model of scrutiny, the extent of political alignment between “the scrutinisers” and “the scrutinee”, and the ability of the latter to constrain the scrutiny function of the former.

Originality/value
– This paper is the first to explore the scrutiny role of PCPs in the context of the research evidence regarding the development and use of scrutiny within the local government context.
Body size‐mediated starvation resistance in an insect predator
Authors: Gergs André , Jager Tjalling 
Published: December 2013

Summary

Individual organisms have to endure transient periods of low‐food supply with consequences for growth, reproduction and survival. To resist starvation, animals usually store resources in their bodies: the larger the animals are, the more resources they can carry, but the more energy they need to allocate for maintaining bodily functions. It is unclear how survival relates to body size when food is scarce or absent, and how to characterize individual differences in survival within a population.

We use a dynamic energy budget (DEB) model to describe food acquisition, subsequent reserve dynamics and allocation of reserve to body maintenance, growth and maturation of an aquatic insect predator, Notonecta maculata. In a DEB context, we can assume that starvation‐induced death strikes when the reserve of an organism is depleted to a certain extent. The way reserve dynamics change upon starvation might thereby influence the ability to survive in the absence of food. Moreover, individuals in a starved population do not die at the same time, even though they might be of the same body size with similar life histories.

To describe individual differences in starvation resistance, we link the reserve dynamics derived from the DEB model to the general unified threshold model of survival (GUTS). We tested two different special cases within GUTS, individual tolerance (IT) and stochastic death (SD), and three different starvation options for their suitability in representing experimental data on body size‐related starvation resistance.

The DEB model reproduced laboratory data on the development of juvenile N. maculata under different food conditions well and closely predicted the weight loss of individuals during prolonged starvation. Both the combined IT‐model and the combined SD‐model closely fit survival for different food conditions including starvation. However, the two models make different predictions for survival under repeated transient starvation periods. Our results suggest that larger N. maculata specimens are able to resist starvation to a greater extent than smaller conspecifics.

The DEB model provides a mechanistic explanation for the positive relationship between body size and starvation resistance, and offers testable hypotheses for possible deviations from this general trend.
Bottom‐up effects on top‐down regulation of a floating aquatic plant by two weevil species: the context‐specific nature of biological control
Authors: Center Ted D. , Dray F. Allen , Mattison Elizabeth D. , Tipping Philip W. , Rayamajhi Min B. 
Published: December 2013

Summary

Plant nutrition (bottom‐up effects) impacts a plant's ability to withstand herbivory (top‐down effects) and influences phytophagous insect fecundity. These factors confound efficacy predictions for biological control purposes. We investigated the importance of these forces with regard to invasibility of Eichhornia crassipes. We also examined whether one could have predicted whether the weevil species Neochetina eichhorniae or Neochetina bruchi would have been the better biocontrol agent.

Three experiments compared E. crassipes performance when subjected to herbivory by these weevils across a range of fertilizer levels. A low initial plant density experiment examined growth and flowering while allowing density to increase. A high plant density experiment evaluated reduction in biomass and surface coverage. A third experiment evaluated plant growth unconstrained by space.

Herbivory effects varied between treatments; interactions varied between experiments. Herbivory reduced plant density and biomass, except in low fertilizer conditions, and consistently reduced flowering. N. bruchi alone or both weevil species together reduced growth more than N. eichhorniae alone, elucidating N. bruchi as the better agent. However, N. eichhorniae better reduced biomass and plant density under initial conditions of complete plant coverage, suggesting it as the superior choice.

Synthesis and applications. Bottom‐up and top‐down forces acting in concert affect invasibility of plant species. Plasticity to resource availability enables invaders to persist in conditions that are unfavourable to herbivores (enemy‐free space). Consequently, biological control efficacy is nuanced and context specific, so predictability requires assessment of multiple parameters across a range of conditions. Overly simplistic evaluations risk rejection of effective agents capable of mediating non‐native plant invasions. These results also argue that biological control practitioners should disregard the concept that a single best agent can be identified to control an invasive plant that exploits a broad range of habitats and environmental conditions.
Aquaphyte invasions often coincide with watershed nutrification so unless weed control is carried out concurrently with measures that reduce nutrient inputs, removal of infestations will merely reduce competition thereby accelerating regrowth or facilitating replacement by other undesirable species (the ‘invasive treadmill’). The suppressive effects of biological control are valuable and complimentary, even when replacement by other, presumably less problematic, species may occur. These subtler effects should be considered with protocols developed for integrated control strategies.
A new comprehension and communication tool: A valuable resource for internationally educated occupational therapists
Authors: Nguyen Tram , Baptiste Sue , Jung Bonny , Wilkins Seanne 
Published: December 2013

Background/AimThe need was identified for a way to assess internationally educated occupational therapists' skills in understanding and communicating professional terminology used in occupational therapy practice. The project aim was to develop and validate such a resource.MethodsA scenario‐based assessment was developed using a three‐phase process for tool development. The development process involved completion of a literature scan of professional terminology used in occupational therapy practice; selection of terms and concepts commonly used in occupational therapy practice; and, creation of practice‐based scenarios illustrating key concepts complete with rating rubrics. An advisory group provided oversight, and a sample of internationally educated occupational therapists completed pilot and validity testing.ResultsThe initial findings showed the assessment to be easy to complete and sensitive to testing understanding of the defined terms.ConclusionsThe final outcome is an assessment tool that has broad application for occupational therapists wishing to enter professional practice in a new country.

Published: December 2013

AbstractOver the past few decades there has been a steady growth in funding for global health, yet generally little is known about funding for global health research. As part of the 2013 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference, a session was convened to discuss emergency care research funding in the global health context. Overall, the authors found a lack of evidence available to determine funding priorities or quantify current funding for acute care research in global health. This article summarizes the initial preparatory research and reports on the results of the consensus conference focused on identifying challenges and strategies to improve funding for global emergency care research. The consensus conference meeting led to the creation of near‐ and long‐term goals to strengthen global emergency care research funding and the development of important research questions. The research questions represent a consensus view of important outstanding questions that will assist emergency care researchers to better understand the current funding landscape and bring evidence to the debate on funding priorities of global health and emergency care. The four key areas of focus for researchers are: 1) quantifying funding for global health and emergency care research, 2) understanding current research funding priorities, 3) identifying barriers to emergency care research funding, and 4) using existing data to quantify the need for emergency services and acute care research. This research agenda will enable emergency health care scientists to use evidence when advocating for more funding for emergency care research.
The Forgotten Farmworkers of Apopka, Florida: Prospects for Collaborative Research and Activism to Assist African American Former Farmworkers
Authors: Kline Nolan , Newcomb Rachel 
Published: December 2013

SummaryAnthropology's crisis of representation of the 1980s has given way to a millennial crisis of involvement. As neoliberal policies proliferate and intensify wealth and social inequalities, anthropologists have considered ways to conduct engaged research that can contribute to social justice. One possibility is the prospect of collaboration between anthropologists and activists. In this article we examine our own collaborative research with an anthropologist and activist organization. We highlight benefits of long‐term community engagement projects for activist‐oriented community partners and students.

Published: December 2013

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate spontaneous vaginal delivery and complication rates after induction of labor with a transcervical Foley catheter in women with a previous cesarean delivery.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingSecondary teaching hospital in the second largest city of the Netherlands.PopulationWomen with a history of cesarean delivery (n = 208), undergoing induction of labor with a Foley catheter in a subsequent pregnancy.Material and methodsThe women who had induction of labor with a transcervical Foley catheter in the Ikazia Hospital, Rotterdam, between January 2003 and January 2012, were identified in a computerized database. Patient's records were checked for accuracy.Main outcome measuresVaginal delivery rate, cesarean section rate, uterine rupture and maternal and neonatal (infectious) morbidity.ResultsOf the women 60% had a spontaneous vaginal delivery and 11% were delivered by vacuum extraction. Uterine rupture occurred in one woman. Postpartum hemorrhage was the most common maternal complication (12%). Maternal intrapartum and postpartum infections occurred in 5% and 1%. Proven neonatal infection was found in 3% of the cases. Two perinatal deaths occurred (1%), of which one was related to uterine rupture.ConclusionInduction of labor with a transcervical Foley catheter is an effective method to achieve vaginal delivery in women with a previous cesarean delivery. There is a low risk of uterine rupture and maternal and neonatal (infectious) morbidity in this cohort.
