Andrei Tarkovsky
Authors: Bird Robert 
Published: February 2014

Andrei Tarkovsky (b. 1932–d. 1986) was the most important director in postwar Soviet art cinema and one of the most influential auteurs in world cinema of the 1960s–1980s. After completing several student films, most notably Steamroller and Violin (1960), Tarkovsky leapt to prominence in 1962 with his first feature, Ivan’s Childhood, which won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival that year. His next feature, the epic-length Andrei Rublev, was completed in 1966 but shown (after enforced edits) only in 1969, at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the FIPRESCI prize; it was released domestically only in 1971. Each of his three films of the 1970s—Solaris (1972), Mirror (1975), and Stalker (1979)—was welcomed internationally but led to new complications for Tarkovsky’s position in the Soviet film system: Solaris (based on a science fiction novel by Stanislaw Lem) was released only after changes enforced by the censors, the autobiographical and enigmatic Mirror was given only limited release, and Stalker (based on a science-fiction novel by Arkadii and Boris Strugatsky) had to be reshot after Tarkovsky controversially determined that much of the original footage had been spoiled. After filming the documentary short Tempo di viaggio (1980) with Tonino Guerra, Tarkovsky returned to Italy to make Nostalgia (1982) as a joint Soviet-Italian production. Remaining abroad without official permission, essentially as a defector, Tarkovsky directed Sacrifice (1986) in Sweden, completing the editing from his sickbed in a Paris clinic, where he died from lung cancer on 29 December 1986. Throughout his career, Tarkovsky also worked in other media, experimenting with Polaroid photography and staging productions on the radio (in 1965), in the theater (Hamlet in 1976), and in the Royal Opera House (Boris Godunov in 1983). In exile from the USSR, Tarkovsky also reedited his articles and interviews (dating as far back as 1962) into a book, known in English as Sculpting in Time, one of the best-known monographs on filmmaking by a major director. Long, slow and brooding, Tarkovsky’s seven feature films are broadly admired among cinephiles, and his charismatic figure has attracted a devoted and sometimes fanatical following, which has been known to idolize him as a spiritual teacher. Writing about Tarkovsky has sometimes been colored by this uncritical adulation, but his films are increasingly being analyzed by historians and interpretive critics for their breathtakingly original technique, poignant imagery, and continuing influence on other filmmakers.
Franz Rosenzweig
Authors: Mendes-Flohr Paul 
Published: February 2014

A philosopher of religion, Franz Rosenzweig (b. 1886–d. 1929) is most prominently associated with the renaissance of Jewish religious thought that took place in Germany in the years just prior to and especially in the wake of the First World War. Both his life and his thought mark the passage from a studied assimilation to a reaffirmation of a distinctive Jewish cultural and religious identity, a process that entailed a reevaluation of the presuppositions of modern German philosophy. This intensive review of the sources of genuine knowledge yielded what Rosenzweig called a “New Thinking,” which restores to the center of the quest for truth the living God, manifest through revelation. Grounded in a belief in divine revelation as a historical event, whose underlying experience of God’s address is a continuous existential possibility, the New Thinking accordingly conceives of the speech act as the principal organon of truth. Whereas Western philosophy from the pre-Socratics to the present has been guided by reason as the preeminent means to gain access to timeless and universal truth, the New Thinking regards truth, both divine and human, to be revealed through an intersubjective dialogue that takes place in the matrix of concrete time and place in which individuals—specific individuals, each with unique biographies—live their lives. This radical revision of Western thought was accompanied by and refracted through Rosenzweig’s revisiting his ancestral religious tradition, which his family had largely abandoned. The resulting revalorization of Judaism as quintessentially embodied in its liturgical calendar, traditional ritual practice, and sacramental study of religious texts also led Rosenzweig to affirm the Christian Church as born of a covenant equally valid to that which God made with the People of Israel. Indeed, the two covenants complement one another in working to realize God’s Heilsplan, the unfolding of redemption through human history.
Corrosion control of rusted carbon steel using hexametaphosphate and zinc sulfate in RO product water
Authors: Hu Jiayuan , Cao Shun'an , Xie Jianli , Yin Li 
Published: February 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of sodium hexametaphosphate and zinc sulfate on the corrosion control of rusted iron in reverse osmosis (RO) product water of seawater.

Design/methodology/approach
– The synergistic effects and inhibition effects of corrosion inhibitors on rusted carbon steel were studied using the weight-loss method, electrochemical tests and surface analysis techniques.

Findings
– The results indicated that sodium hexametaphosphate could partly suppress the corrosion of rusted steel, but zinc sulfate used alone had no inhibition effect. Hexametaphosphate and zinc sulfate showed a strong synergistic effect and the optimal ratio of two chemicals was 1:1. The inhibition efficiency appeared to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration and the ideal dosage of inhibitors was set at 20 mg/L, when chemical cost and inhibition efficiency were taken into account. Surface analysis results proved that this compound inhibitor could make the rust layer much more compact. The inhibitive mechanism was to combine with rust and form a protective film, which consisted of iron oxide, polyphosphate and Zn(OH)2.

Originality/value
– It was found that the compound inhibitor consisting of sodium hexametaphosphate and zinc sulfate had a good inhibitive effect on rusted iron in RO product water. The research results can provide theoretical guidelines for corrosion control of rusted pipes in power plants.
Corrosion behavior of ZHMn55-3-1 copper alloy in stagnant and flowing seawater with entrained sediment
Authors: Luo Yanan , Li Qizheng , Song Shizhe 
Published: February 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this investigation was to study the erosion-corrosion behavior of ZHMn55-3-1 copper alloy in seawater (flow velocity from 0 to 0.8 m/s, sediment content from 0 to 0.15 percent), to analyze the effects of the flow velocity and sediment content on the erosion-corrosion process.

Design/methodology/approach
– A simulated erosion-corrosion test system was set up. Weight loss determinations and electrochemical measurements (such as potentiostat square wave (PSW), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization tests) were used to study the erosion-corrosion behavior of ZHMn55-3-1 copper alloy in stagnant and flowing seawater with different sediment contents.

Findings
– Under the test conditions, ZHMn55-3-1 copper alloys had good corrosion resistance to stagnant clear seawater, while increasing the flow velocity and sediment content reduced the corrosion resistance of the material. The difference in the erosion-corrosion mechanism between flow velocity and sediment content was that the former affected both the cathode process and the anode process of electrochemical corrosion, while the latter essentially affected only the anode process.

Originality/value
– This paper explains the effects of flow velocity and sediment content on the erosion-corrosion behavior of ZHMn55-3-1 copper alloy in flowing seawater.
Free return trajectories or enmeshment? Some psychodynamic factors and thoughts on the role of social capital in the use of substituted cathinones (M-cats)
Authors: David Sweet Alistair 
Published: February 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to suggest that the emergence of substituted cathinones or M-cat drugs (notably mephedrone and methylone) and their rapid proliferation of use, amongst drug users in the UK from 2009 onwards, signals changes in the habits, preferences and lifestyle choices made by certain drug users, whilst also indicating a pronounced increase in the levels of co-morbid mental health conditions experienced by another, yet often distinct, group of users.

Design/methodology/approach
– This latter group of users, it is suggested, tend to initiate use of psychoactive substances (including tobacco and alcohol) at a younger age. In addition, it is suggested, they often present to treatment and criminal justice services with a history of chronic childhood relational trauma, as a background against which severe patterns of drug abuse has evolved. In this light the lack of significant supplies of social capital, as a protective factor against the development of chronic drug use, is further considered in the paper that follows though a brief literature review and qualitative clinical case reports.

Findings
– Novel psychoactive substances ( Newcombe, 2013) appear so seductive, for a certain group of users, because they seem to provide a temporary form of cognitive and emotional anaesthesia, enabling users to self-medicate, often against experiences of profound psychological trauma and contemporary lives that are typically experienced as boring, hopeless and pointless. The euphoric effects of psycho-stimulants such as mephedrone are particularly appealing to individuals attempting to escape a subjective sense of daily dysphoria and may on this basis lead to, rather than recreational use, more persistent patterns of drug use. However, in contradistinction to this group of users, another recreational – mainly weekend leisure – group of users continues to evidence a voracious appetite for psycho-stimulant substances.

Originality/value
– It is suggested that this second group of users has been particularly influential in substitute displacement towards the emergence of legal highs, due to the poor quality and illegal status of street drugs such as cocaine, amphetamine sulphate and MDMA (ecstasy).
Patterns of use and perceptions of drug addicts in Greece about “shisha” (a new synthetic drug) at economic crisis era
Authors: Triantos Petros , Papanastasatos Gerasimos , Poulopoulos Charalampos , Zaxaropoulos Yiannis 
Published: February 2014

Purpose
– This paper aims to research the prevalence of a new drug which appeared at the era of economic crisis in Greece, called “shisha.” Shisha, a rather cheap form of crystal meth, has spread fast among drug users in Greece with the deepening of the economic crisis. The present paper is concerned with the socio-demographic characteristics of drug users who choose this type of drug and reveals the conditions under which this drug is used. In addition, perceptions of drug users about the specific drug are also explored.

Design/methodology/approach
– In total, 148 drug users took part in this study. Of these 73 percent were men and 27 percent women. The average age of participants was approximately 37 years. All participants in the study were interviewed face-to-face on the basis of a structured brief questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions.

Findings
– The data suggests that the majority of drug users who use “shisha” are mainly heroin users (63.2 percent) and they use this new drug as a second choice to heroin. Shisha can be found in the center of Athens and it is usually smoked through a glass pipe. The cost for buying the drug is relatively low (two to three euros) and the drug is produced in small illegal labs. Most participants argued that shisha is linked to violent and aggressive behavior, loss of weight, insomnia, sexual arousal and a psychotic state that may cause death. The drug is made out of a form of crystal meth produced by amphetamines and liquid acids found in batteries liquids.

Practical implications
– This drug is mainly used by homeless drug users in the center of Athens. Its exact synthesis cannot be identified given the fact that drug users use various recipes to produce it. Taking the drug is extremely dangerous for the health of the users.

Originality/value
– Research of the use of a new drug linked to the economic crisis in Greece. Researchers in this paper approached street drug users who are highly unlikely to seek help from health or other types of treatment providers.
A retrospective analysis of auditing research (1975-2009)
Authors: C. Chan Kam , C. Chan Kam , Wong Hannah 
Published: February 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to assess the quality of doctoral programs in terms of their faculty auditing research output as well as their effectiveness in training future auditing faculty.

Design/methodology/approach
– This paper presents a retrospective analysis of auditing research that appeared in five premier accounting journals (AOS, TAR, CAR, JAE, and JAR) during the time period 1975-2009.

Findings
– The authors offer several new insights. First, the authors provide rankings of accounting programs based on their faculty's research output as well as their graduates' research output. The rankings of auditing research are significantly different from those that are based on aggregated accounting research output. Second, the rankings are found to be skewed; due to the display of high concentrations of auditing research among the top auditing research programs. Third, the rankings have exhibited considerable changes over time, which suggest extreme competitions in maintaining the relative positions of the doctoral programs. Fourth, the authors detect a noticeable change in auditing research methodologies.

Practical implications
– The findings are useful to: new and job-seeking auditing doctorates in selecting academic appointments; potential doctoral students in identifying auditing graduate programs that best fit their career goals; university administrators in assessing their auditing faculty; and auditing scholars in positioning their journal outlets.

Originality/value
– The study extends the findings of the previous studies by focusing on auditing research publications in top journals over a long sample period. The authors also provide evidence of changes in research methodologies in auditing research as well as changes in rankings among different institutions in recent years.
Understanding rental prices in the UK: a comparative application of spatial modelling approaches
Authors: McCord M. , Davis P.T. , Haran M. , McIlhatton D. , McCord J. 
Published: February 2014

Purpose– Accounting for locational effects in determining price is of fundamental importance. The demise of the mainstream property market has culminated in increasing appetite and investment activity within the private rental sector. The primary purpose of this paper aims to analyse the local variation and spatial heterogeneity in residential rental prices in a large urban market in the UK using various geo-statistical approaches.Design/methodology/approach– Applying achieved price data derived from a leading internet-based rental agency for Belfast Northern Ireland is analysed in a number of spatially based modelling frameworks encompassing more traditional approaches such as hedonic regressive models to more complex spatial filtering methods to estimate rental values as a function of the properties implicit characteristics and spatial measures.Findings– The principal findings show the efficacy of the geographically weighted regression (GWR) technique as it provides increased accuracy in predicting marginal price estimates relative to other spatial techniques. The results reveal complex spatial non-stationarity across the Belfast metropole emphasizing the premise of location in determining and understanding rental market performance. A key finding emanating from the research is that the high level of segmentation across localised pockets of the Belfast market, as a consequence of socio-political conflict and ethno-religious territoriality segregation, requires further analytical insight and model specification in order to understand the exogenous spatial and societal effects/implications for rental value.Originality/value– This study is one of only a few investigations of spatial residential rent price variation applying the GWR methodology, spatial filtering and other spatial techniques within the confines of a UK housing market. In the context of residential rent prices, the research highlights that a soft segmentation modelling approaches are essential for understanding rental gradients in a polarised ethnocratic city.
Senior citizen's bargaining power in residential real estate markets
Authors: E. Larsen James , W. Coleman Joseph 
Published: February 2014

Purpose– Researchers have previously examined, with mixed results, whether experience in the single-family house market enhances a buyer's bargaining power by comparing prices paid by relatively young first-time buyers and experienced buyers. The present study aims to extend this basic line of inquiry, but the focus here is on both buyers and sellers at the other end of the age spectrum as the authors investigate the bargaining power of senior citizens (age 65 or older) in the single-family house market.Design/methodology/approach– Hedonic regression is used to analyze approximately 6,200 transactions that occurred in Montgomery County, Ohio during the years 2007 through 2009.Findings– No difference is discovered between prices paid for a single-family house by senior citizens and other buyers in the sample. However, senior citizens in this study sold property for 5.9 percent less than other sellers,ceteris paribus, suggesting that when they sold their homes, other factors put seniors at a bargaining power disadvantage.Research limitations/implications– Data limitations prevent the authors from specifying the precise reasons underlying the results concerning senior house sellers, but numerous possibilities are presented. Testing whether the results apply in other local housing markets would be a valuable extension of this research, as would identification of the factors associate with any bargaining power imbalance.Practical implications– The economic principle of substitution suggests that assets that provide identical utility should command identical prices, but for heterogeneous goods the relative bargaining power of the principals may be important in the price formation process. The present study offers interesting results that in the case of senior buyers support the law of one price, but in the case of senior sellers, bargaining power differences dominate.Originality/value– This is the first study to investigate bargaining power in residential real estate markets by comparing transaction prices involving senior citizens and other buyers and sellers.
Smoothing consumption fluctuations through household decisions on home improvement expenditure in Japan
Authors: Moriizumi Yoko , Tiwari Piyush , Yukutake Norifumi 
Published: February 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the housing improvement expenditure as a consumption smoothing strategy for Japanese households.Design/methodology/approach– Tobit estimation method is used to empirically investigate the role of home improvement expenditure in smoothing consumption for households in Japan using data from Japan Housing Demand Survey for 2003.Findings– Findings suggest that: households in Japan use home improvement expenditure to adjust fluctuation in income. Income-constrained elderly households reduce their housing consumption by not improving their homesceteris paribusin order to maintain their consumption levels. The mortgage repayment burden also plays an important role in home improvement expenditure decisions.Research limitations/implications– An implication of the analysis is that households who do not own houses may require policy intervention to maintain their welfare. Policies such as subsidies for renters in Japan need to be devised which will provide renters opportunities to smooth consumption. Further, reduction in home improvement expenditure leads to deterioration of quality of housing stock if economic downturn persists longer. This suggests that policies such as tax reduction, tax allowance or tax credit to bolster home improvement behaviour are needed during economic downturn to sustain quality of housing stock.Originality/value– The paper contributes to the limited literature on the role of home improvement expenditure as a consumption smoothing instrument for households. Those who do not own houses are constrained in maintaining their welfare during downturn. Findings are important for policy makers and paper makes some suggestions in this regard.
Land price dynamics in a large Australian urban housing market
Authors: Costello Greg 
Published: February 2014

Purpose– Housing is a composite asset comprising land and improved components varying as proportions of total value over space and time. Theory suggests land and improvements (structures) are unique goods responding differently to economic stimuli. This paper aims to test the expectation of different overall house price changes in response to variation in land and improved components.Design/methodology/approach– House price dynamics are decomposed to analyse the influence of land and structure components for the city of Perth, Australia both at aggregate level and for spatially defined housing sub-regions, sample period 1995-2010.Findings– Values of land and improvements on that land evolve differently over time and are significantly influenced by the magnitude of land leverage. The study extends previous research through extensive spatial disaggregation of a larger more detailed data set than previously used in studies of this type confirming significant variation in land leverage ratios, overall price change and growth rates for land and improvements in sub-regional markets defined by spatial criteria.Research limitations/implications– The results suggest an important role for policy development with respect to housing affordability and supply side regulation of land in large urban housing markets.Practical implications– The results suggest important implications for hedonic price analysis of housing markets. The inclusion of land leverage variables in hedonic regression could remove coefficient bias associated with omitted location amenity variables.Originality/value– The paper adapts methodology from previous studies but extends previous literature through detailed analysis of a large Australian housing market (Perth) enabling extensive spatial disaggregation of the sample and providing greater insight to spatial variation of land leverage than in previous studies.
