Impact of e-fulfillment on consumer loyalty across different product types
Authors: Titiyal Rohit , Bhattacharya Sujoy , Thakkar Jitesh J. , Sah Bhawesh 
Published: May 2022

PurposeThere is limited literature linking e-fulfillment and product type with postpurchase consumer behavior measures like loyalty, even though there has been a rapid increase in e-tailing. E-fulfillment is defined in literature as a sequence of processes. Each process in this sequence is expected to have a different impact on consumer loyalty across product type. Thus relative importance of e-fulfillment processes leading to consumer loyalty. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of e-fulfillment on consumer loyalty across two product types: “standard, regular” and “physical product” (e.g. book, clothing, etc.) and “standard, nonregular” and “physical product” (e.g. computer, refrigerator, etc.) using the peak-end rule theory for an e-tailer.Design/methodology/approachTo know the consumer loyalty for e-fulfillment across the two product types, the partial least square-structural equation modeling approach aided by the SmartPLS 3 tool was used for data analysis as it avoids biases in the parameter estimation in regression analysis. A total of 603 consumer responses through an online and physically administered questionnaire were obtained and were used for the empirical analysis.FindingsResults indicate that for standard, nonregular and physical products, all the e-fulfillment components (customization strategy, website quality, distribution strategy, last mile delivery and return management) positively impact consumer loyalty. Except for the customization strategy, for standard regular and physical product types, all other e-fulfillment components positively impact consumer loyalty.Practical implicationsThis study will be helpful to e-tail managers to configure the e-fulfillment components according to product types, thereby increasing consumer loyalty.Originality/valueWhile some e-fulfillment components have been linked to consumer loyalty in literature, there is no study establishing linkages between e-fulfillment as a construct and consumer loyalty across product types. This has implications for decision makers in e-tail as the study provides e-fulfillment strategy customization across product types for achieving consumer loyalty in e-tail, a key marketing metric.
European banks’ business models as a driver of strategic planning: one size fits all
Authors: Palmieri Egidio , Geretto Enrico Fioravante , Polato Maurizio 
Published: May 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to verify the presence of a management model that confirms or not the one size fits all hypothesis expressed in terms of risk-return. This study will test the existence of stickiness phenomena and discuss the relevance of business model analysis integration with the risk assessment process.

Design/methodology/approach
The sample consists of 60 credit institutions operating in Europe for 20 years of observations. This study proposes a classification of banks’ business models (BMs) based on an agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithm analyzing their performance according to risk and return dimensions. To confirm BM stickiness, the authors verify the tendency and frequency with which a bank migrates to other BMs after exogenous events.

Findings
The results show that it is impossible to define a single model that responds to the one size fits all logic, and there is a tendency to adapt the BM to exogenous factors. In this context, there is a propensity for smaller- and medium-sized institutions to change their BM more frequently than larger institutions.

Practical implications
Quantitative metrics seem to be only able to represent partially the intrinsic dynamics of BMs, and to include these metrics, it is necessary to resort to a holistic view of the BM.

Originality/value
This paper provides evidence that BMs’ stickiness indicated in the literature seems to weaken in conjunction with extraordinary events that can undermine institutions’ margins.
The entry quality threshold setting and commission rate contract selection of a peer-to-peer service sharing platform
Authors: Chi Xue , Fan Zhi-Ping , Wang Xiaohuan 
Published: May 2022

PurposeIn recent years, some peer-to-peer (P2P) service sharing platforms have improved their service quality by setting an entry quality threshold for service providers. Considering consumers' heterogeneous preferences for service quality and commission rate, it is worth studying how to select the commission rate contract for a P2P platform under a predetermined entry quality threshold for service providers.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the platform's profit-maximizing model is constructed under two proposed contracts: unilateral commission rate contract and bilateral commission rate contract. The optimal entry quality threshold and the optimal commission rate are obtained. This study also explores the impacts of cross-side network externality and service price on a platform's optimal decisions and social welfare.FindingsResults show that it is always advantageous for the platform to adopt the bilateral commission rate contract, which is closely related to the strength of cross-side network externality, service price and quality sensitivity coefficient. Under certain conditions, adopting the unilateral commission rate contract can reduce platform profit and service provider surplus, and improve consumer surplus and social welfare.Originality/valueThis study analyzes the unilateral commission rate contract and the bilateral commission rate contract of the platform, and discusses which contract is beneficial to the platform, consumers and service providers. In addition, this study provides a basis for the operation decision of a P2P service sharing platform and the pricing decision of service providers.

Abstract

Disentangling the influence of hosts and environmental factors in parasite community assembly is one of the main challenges in disease ecology. Here we used three approaches to assess the influence of host ecology and evolutionary history, as well as environmental factors on Plasmodium parasite composition within the Atlantic Forest.

Using sampling data of 2,241 bird individuals captured within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, we first calculated the functional and phylogenetic host specificity of Plasmodium lineages. We then tested whether host functional or phylogenetic distance predicts Plasmodium taxonomic and phylogenetic beta diversity among host species. Finally, we tested whether temperature, precipitation, landscape dissimilarity and host turnover (taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic) determine Plasmodium taxonomic and phylogenetic turnover among 13 localities within the Atlantic Forest.

We found that 47% of the parasite lineages were more phylogenetic specialists than expected by chance. In addition, both taxonomic and phylogenetic Plasmodium beta diversity were associated with host phylogenetic distance, indicating that closely related avian species are infected by assemblages composed of more closely related Plasmodium lineages. When comparing Plasmodium lineage community among localities, we found host phylogenetic turnover as the most relevant predictor of Plasmodium taxonomic and phylogenetic turnover. On the other hand, environmental variables explained 23% of Plasmodium taxonomic turnover among localities, suggesting that lineage composition is affected by climate and landscape, especially temperature seasonality.

Combining all results, our findings suggest host phylogeny is the main driver of the regional Plasmodium assemblages within the Atlantic Forest.

Incidence of flexion‐type supracondylar fractures at a single Australian level one Paediatric Trauma Centre
Authors: De Silva April , Alder‐Price Angela C. , Allcock Paul 
Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundSupracondylar fractures are the most common elbow fracture. There have been no studies published analysing flexion‐type fractures in the Australian paediatric population. This paper aims to investigate flexion‐type supracondylar fractures in an Australian paediatric population. Eight hundred and three paediatric supracondylar elbow fractures were retrospectively reviewed at one hospital over a 5 year time period. The focus was on flexion‐type fractures.MethodsSupracondylar fractures that presented to the Women's and Children's Hospital Emergency Department between 2015 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Fractures were classified on plain radiographs according to the Modified Gartland Classification System. Injury and treatment data were collected for flexion‐type fractures.ResultsTwenty‐one (2.6%) of fractures were flexion‐type. The average age of injury was 6.8 years old. Flexion‐type fractures were more common in females (62%) and with high energy mechanisms (81%). Ulnar nerve palsies occurred in five cases (24%). Two ulna nerve palsies did completely resolve at 3 months follow up. One open fracture occurred. No vascular injuries occurred. Ten of the 21 flexion‐type fractures (48%) were treated surgically.ConclusionsThe authors conclude that: flexion fractures are uncommon, they occur more often after high energy mechanisms such as falls from monkey bars, swings, or trampolines. Flexion‐type fractures occur more often in slightly older females. The ulnar nerve is most frequently injured and in the current study—exclusively injured. At 3 month follow up, spontaneous nerve recovery had occurred in three of the five cases (60%).

Published: May 2022

AbstractPatterns across species of intraspecific phenotypic variation with environment can shed light on the underlying drivers of adaptive evolution. Phenotypic variation within a species along tropical elevational gradients is of particular interest because species with narrow elevational ranges may still experience considerably varied environmental conditions. Here, we examine morphological variation in 27 tropical bird species, spanning 11 families and 3 orders, across a 675 m elevational gradient in Western Ecuador. We analyzed a data set of six morphological variables in 3263 individual birds using multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) and canonical correlation analyses (CCAs). We found that morphology varies significantly with elevation in 8 species, and that spatial segregation by age or sex was apparently not responsible for this result. The phenotypic traits that varied with elevation varied strongly by species. To the best of our knowledge, morphological variation over equally short elevational and horizontal distances across a diverse suite of vertebrate species has not previously been demonstrated.Abstract in Spanish is available with online material.
Reputational damage and name changes: Impact of financial crimes
Authors: Unsal Omer 
Published: May 2022

AbstractResearch QuestionThis study examines the relation between reputational issues and name‐change decisions among US financial firms. I examine if financial firm name changes are related to reputational concerns and whether or not financial firms try to distance themselves from misconduct by adopting a new name.Research Findings/InsightsI document that firms adopt a new name to disassociate themselves from reputational concerns. I find that investors react negatively to name‐change announcements for firms with reputational issues. My findings also suggest significant corporate upheaval following misconduct, such as dampening performance.Theoretical/Academic ImplicationsMy research is the first to investigate market reactions to name changes in the US financial industry. My paper utilizes several unique hand‐collected datasets of corporate wrongdoings, violations, frauds, and other financial crimes to measure firm reputation and test whether name changes are related to reputational concerns.Practitioner/Policy ImplicationsI not only measure pre‐event misconducts for name changes but also analyze the future firm performance following financial misrepresentations. My paper adds to the growing literature of firm reputation, brand image, and firm value.

Published: May 2022

SummaryThe history and application of the name chia and its scientific equivalent, Salvia hispanica, are outlined. The relationship of S. hispanica with other species known as chia is discussed including those within the genus Salvia and those without. Its native distribution and habitat are described. Chia was an important crop in Aztec society and the seeds had a wide range of uses beyond their use as a food grain. Following the Spanish conquest of Mexico, cultivation and use both declined but in recent years there has been a striking reawakening of interest in chia as a superfood with many benefits for the consumer. Contemporary as well as traditional uses are described with notes on its culinary uses and its health benefits. Propagation is by seed and its cultivation is discussed and attention drawn to new varieties more suitable for temperate climates.

AbstractMedical paternalism has long been a common medical practice. However, patient autonomy in healthcare has been recently adopted by doctors and patients alike. This study explored whether doctors and patients in a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia preferred autonomy or paternalism in shared decision‐making. A total of 118 participants (51 patients requiring total knee replacement, owing to stages 3–4 of osteoarthritis, and 67 doctors) from the Eastern province, Saudi Arabia. responded to a 17‐question category‐based questionnaire involving four scales of autonomy. Descriptive statistics and chi‐square test results revealed that in this hospital, patients preferred a paternalistic approach toward their medical care along with a full disclosure of the risks related to surgical procedures. We recommend health education regarding the specific autonomy subscales (doctor knows best, patient should decide, right to non‐participation, and obligatory risk information), and the implementation of protocols that protect patients' rights and enhance personal autonomy.

AbstractBackground and purposeEndovascular therapy (EVT) is increasingly reported for treatment of isolated posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusions although its clinical benefit remains uncertain. This study‐level meta‐analysis investigated the functional outcomes and safety of EVT and best medical management (BMM) compared to BMM alone for treatment of PCA occlusion stroke.MethodsWe conducted a literature search in PubMed, Web of Science and Embase for studies in patients with isolated PCA occlusion stroke treated with EVT + BMM or BMM including intravenous thrombolysis. There were no randomized trials and all studies were retrospective. The primary outcome was modified Rankin Scale score of 0–2 at 3 months, while safety outcomes included mortality rate and incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH).ResultsTwelve studies with a total of 679 patients were included in the meta‐analysis: 338 patients with EVT + BMM and 341 patients receiving BMM alone. Good functional outcome at 3 months was achieved in 58.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 43.83–70.95) of patients receiving EVT + BMM and 48.1% (95% CI 40.35–55.92) of patients who received BMM alone, with respective mortality rates of 12.6% (95% CI 7.30–20.93) and 12.3% (95% CI 8.64–17.33). sICH occurred in 4.2% (95% CI 2.47–7.03) of patients treated with EVT + BMM and 3.2% (95% CI 1.75–5.92) of patients treated with BMM alone. Comparative analyses were performed on studies that included both treatments and these demonstrated no significant differences.ConclusionsOur results demonstrate that EVT represents a safe treatment for patients with isolated PCA occlusion stroke. There were no differences in clinical or safety outcomes between treatments, supporting randomization of future patients into distal vessel occlusion trials.

AbstractBackgroundThe objective of this study was to determine associations between use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) and stroke and bleeding‐related outcomes for older people ≥80 years with atrial fibrillation (AF), and to determine trends over time in prescribing of OAC for this population.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted. People aged ≥80 years with AF receiving (1) no OAC; (2) warfarin; or (3) a non‐vitamin‐K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) between 2011 and 2019 were included. Propensity score matching was used to balance cohorts (no OAC, warfarin or a NOAC) on characteristics including age, sex, ethnicity, and co‐morbidities. Cox proportional hazard models were used to derive hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsThe proportion of people aged ≥80 years receiving any OAC increased from 32.4% (n = 27,647) in 2011 to 43.6% (n = 110,412) in 2019. After propensity score matching, n = 169,067 individuals were included in the cohorts receiving no OAC or a NOAC. Compared to no OAC, participants receiving a NOAC had a lower risk of incident dementia (hazHR 0.68, 95% CI 0.65–0.71), all‐cause mortality (HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.48–0.50), first‐time ischaemic stroke (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.83–0.91), and a higher risk of major bleeding (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.05–1.11). Compared to participants receiving warfarin, participants receiving a NOAC had a lower risk of dementia (HR 0.90, 95% CI: 0.86–0.93), all‐cause mortality (HR 0.74, 95% CI: 0.72–0.76), ischaemic stroke (HR 0.86, 95% CI: 0.82–0.90) and major bleeding (HR 0.88, 95% CI: 0.85–0.90). Similar results were observed when only including people with additional bleeding risk factors.ConclusionsThe proportion of people aged ≥80 years receiving OAC has increased since the introduction of NOACs, but remains low. Use of a NOAC was associated with improved outcomes compared to warfarin, and compared to no OAC, except for a small but statistically significant higher risk of major bleeding.

Published: May 2022

SummaryThe structural basis for histone recognition by the histone chaperone nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein (NASP) remains largely unclear. Here, we showed that Arabidopsis thaliana AtNASP is a monomer and displays robust nucleosome assembly activity in vitro. Examining the structure of AtNASP complexed with a histone H3 α3 peptide revealed a binding mode that is conserved in human NASP. AtNASP recognizes the H3 N‐terminal region distinct from human NASP. Moreover, AtNASP forms a co‐chaperone complex with ANTI‐SILENCING FUNCTION 1 (ASF1) by binding to the H3 N‐terminal region. Therefore, we deciphered the structure of AtNASP and the basis of the AtNASP–H3 interaction.
High school policies about sexual harassment: What's on the books and what students think
Authors: Brown Christia Spears , Biefeld Sharla D. , Bulin Jenna 
Published: May 2022

AbstractSexual harassment (SH) in schools is unwanted and unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature that, when severe, offensive, and pervasive, creates a hostile environment that is prohibited under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. In the current mixed methods study, using analyses of school policies and reports, and student survey and qualitative data, we examined (a) whether public high schools’ policies about SH were in compliance with Title IX guidance, (b) whether SH policies were related to alumni's knowledge and attitudes about their schools’ SH policies, and (c) whether SH policies were related to alumni's experiences with and reporting of SH. Results indicated that, of the 172 school districts within one state, only one‐fourth of the school districts had SH policies in which SH was clearly defined and in which there were noted consequences for perpetrating SH. Despite students experiencing SH, very few students ever reported SH to an adult at school. However, of the small number of students who reported SH to an adult at school, 87.5% went to a school with an explicit SH policy. Many students stated that they did not report SH because they did not trust adults to handle it fairly or effectively.
Falsely “high” serum cobalamin level in subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord secondary to pernicious anemia masquerading as myelodysplastic syndrome

Published: May 2022

AbstractCobalamin deficiency causes clinical manifestations ranging from anemia to neuropsychiatric presentations. We present a patient initially treated as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), who was later diagnosed to have pernicious anemia. He presented with pancytopenia, and bone marrow aspirate was suggestive of MDS. Serum cobalamin was high. Six months later, he developed progressive lower limb weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine showed a hyperintense signal in the lateral aspects of the cord at C6 to T10 suggestive of subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord. Homocysteine, methylmalonic acid, and anti‐intrinsic factor levels were found to be high, confirming the diagnosis of cobalamin deficiency secondary to pernicious anemia. His pancytopenia and weakness improved markedly after 5 months of parenteral cobalamin injection. This case highlights that cobalamin deficiency can mimic MDS, and second‐line assays are important in a patient with a high clinical suspicion of cobalamin deficiency despite normal serum cobalamin level.
