Science mapping the most-cited publications on workplace learning
Authors: Moosa Visal , Shareefa Mariyam 
Published: February 2020

PurposeThis study aims to use science mapping to explore the knowledge base on workplace learning.Design/methodology/approachThe analyses were based on the 100 most-cited articles out of the 7,469 results that were generated by the search on SCOPUS database. Bibliometric analyses such as keyword occurrence, co-authorship network and bibliometric coupling network were conducted using VOSviewer.FindingsThe results indicated that scholarly work in the area of workplace learning is on the rise while emphasising the need for contributions from Eastern and Asian perspectives. It was also found that scholarly work on workplace learning can be classified into two major schools of thought, namely, one that revolves around learning communities and other around communities of practice. Finally, analysis of the top-journals revealed that many of them have a close association with the field of education.Research limitations/implicationsThis analysis is based on a single database. Nonetheless, scholars looking forward to research and publish on the topic may consider the key concepts and journals identified in this review.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, no other study on bibliometric analysis of the topic has been conducted. This study contributes to the knowledge base on workplace learning by science mapping the existing knowledge.

Published: February 2020

AbstractPostmortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is rarely used for the radiologic assessment of gunshot injuries, although it has clear advantages over postmortem computed tomography (CT) with regard to the imaging of soft tissue injuries. Another benefit in using MRI is that lodged projectiles composed of nonferromagnetic material such as lead present only marginal metal artifacts compared with severe artifacts on CT. This case report presents CT and MRI findings in a case with two gunshot wounds to the neck: a perforating wound and a nonperforating wound with a lead bullet lodged in the cervical spine. The decedent underwent CT and MRI before the scheduled autopsy. A ring of radiopaque material under the dermis in the fatty tissue was identified at both entrance wounds on CT, which was indicative of contact shots. The perforating gunshot was clearly indicated on CT by bullet fragments along the wound channel through the perforated 6th cervical vertebra and the fractured cricoid cartilage at the exit wound. The second trajectory, however, was only assumed based on the presence of gunshot residues at the entrance wound and the position of the lodged bullet. The radiologic assessment was severely impeded by the metal artifacts on CT. Barely noticeable metal artifacts on MRI allowed for clear visualization of the soft tissue injuries and the ruptured medulla oblongata. Only MRI clarified the soft tissue injuries of the brainstem noninvasively, which could provide specific and graphic information on the rapidity of death and the incapacitation of the victim.

Published: February 2020

BackgroundParental drinking and parent alcohol use disorder (AUD) are known predictors of adolescent positive alcohol expectancies, but their link to negative expectancies is unclear. Research suggests that parent drinking may indirectly predict adolescent expectancies through exposure to parental drinking events. However, exposure to parent negative alcohol consequences may be more relevant to adolescents’ expectancies. The present study tested the mediating effect of parent observable negative alcohol consequences in the association between parent AUD and adolescent expectancies.MethodsThis study used parent and adolescent data from the Adult and Family Development Project. A total of 581 adolescents reported on their alcohol expectancies across 2 waves of data, and their parents reported on potentially observable alcohol‐related negative consequences during the first wave. Past‐year and lifetime parent AUD were assessed with diagnostic interviews across 6 waves of data.ResultsMothers’ observable consequences mediated the effect of her past‐year AUD on adolescent negative expectancies in adolescence, but this effect did not hold at a 1.5‐year follow‐up. Mothers’ lifetime AUD was the only prospective predictor of later adolescent negative expectancies. No father drinking variables predicted expectancies, and all models were invariant across child biological sex. Finally, older adolescent age prospectively predicted higher positive expectancies, whereas the adolescents’ own drinking predicted lower negative expectancies.ConclusionsThese findings, in line with other recent studies, suggest that exposure to mothers’ negative experiences with alcohol may counterintuitively normalize negative alcohol effects. This may paradoxically increase risk for adolescents rather than buffering the effects of a family history of parental AUD.
Italian Adaptation and Validation of the Sibling Attachment Inventory
Authors: Parrello Santa , Sommantico Massimiliano , De Rosa Barbara 
Published: February 2020

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to adapt and validate the Sibling Attachment Inventory (SAI) to the Italian context and to examine its psychometric properties.MethodUsing an Internet‐based survey, data were collected from 500 Italian young adults (aged 18–30). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out to explore the factorial structure of the SAI. Correlations with the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), the Lifespan Sibling Relationship Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale were carried out to verify convergent and predictive validity.ResultsThe instrument had good levels of internal consistency and a monodimensional structure, also providing evidence for validity. By comparing three models proposed in the literature, the results indicate that the three‐factor model had the best fit indices. Further, secure attachments were linked to high levels of self‐esteem and life satisfaction.ConclusionThe Italian version of the SAI has good psychometric properties, suggesting its ability to assess young adults' sibling attachment in the Italian cultural context. It is expected to be a useful self‐report measure in research aimed to study individual differences in young adults' sibling attachment.

Published: February 2020

AbstractTo achieve the ambitious goals of the WHO to eliminate hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection as a public health threat by 2030, innovative approaches are needed to improve the uptake for screening and treatment in people who inject drugs (PWID). Important barriers to care are difficult venous access and the two‐step approach in current point‐of‐care tests, using an HCV antibody screening test followed by a confirmatory HCV RNA test. In this study, we aimed to validate the new GenXpert instrument to diagnose HCV RNA by finger prick. This prospective study was conducted in a cohort of PWID in 6 alcohol/drug clinic sites and 1 outreach project in Belgium between January 2018 and March 2019. Plasma and capillary whole‐blood samples were collected by venepuncture and finger prick, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of the GenXpert system were compared to the gold standard Artus HCV RNA kit. Of 153 participants enrolled, 147 (96.1%) had results of both the GenXpert system and Artus HCV RNA kit available. HCV RNA was detected in 35 of 147 (23.8%) by the Artus HCV RNA kit and in 36 of 147 (24.8%) by the GenXpert. Median quantitative HCV RNA viral load on finger prick was 28 700 IU/mL (IQR 4070‐65 875) vs 1 900 000IU/mL (IQR 416,466‐2,265,510) on plasma. The GenXpert instrument had a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI 90%‐100%) and a specificity of 99.1% (95.1%‐99.9%). The overall diagnostic accuracy was 99.3% (96.3%‐99.9%). This study validates the excellent performance of the GenXpert instrument to assess HCV RNA in capillary whole blood by finger prick in a PWID cohort.

AbstractAimsThe aim of this study was to determine physical, behavioural and psychosocial effects of a newly developed mindfulness programme for older adults with type 2 diabetes relocating to long‐term care facility.BackgroundTaiwan is viewed as an “aged society” with significant proportion of the population living in a long‐term care facility. Approximately one third of residents living in long‐term care facilities have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and disruption to management of their glycaemic levels is at risk for up to one year after relocating to a long‐term care facility.DesignA cluster randomised controlled trial was used to examine the effects of a newly developed mindfulness programme on outcomes of glycaemic levels, relocation stress and depression.MethodsA total of 140 participants were recruited from six long‐term care facilities in Southern Taiwan. A mindfulness programme was delivered over 9 weeks and consisted of meditations, education and exercise techniques that were delivered by a Registered Nurse trained in mindfulness strategies. Participants in the control group received routine care as provided in the facilities, including routine check‐ups at diabetes clinics as necessary. Data were analysed by Johnson–Neyman technique and generalised estimating equations.ResultsIn total, 120 residents completed the study. The majority of patients were female (64.8%), and 83.5% of the sample were financially supported by their children. The results showed significant improvements in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), relocation stress (Waldχ2 = 78.91) and depression (Waldχ2 = 45.70) between groups. In the intervention group, the mean of HbA1c levels showed 16.4% reduction (Meandifferences = 1.3;SD = 0.3). However, there were no significant differences in relocation stress and depression within groups.ConclusionThe results provided positive effects of the mindfulness programme for older people with diabetes moving into long‐term care facilities. The programme will assist in future planning for diabetes care in long‐term care facilities.Implications for practiceTo incorporate the mindfulness program into existing diabetes education programs for older people living in LTCFs. Further investigation on the sustainability of the mindfulness program is warranted.
What do students gain from games? Dice games vs word problems
Authors: Maurer Karsten , Hudiburgh Lynette , Werwinski Lisa 
Published: February 2020

AbstractLearning the fundamentals of probability and random variables can be a struggle for many students. Games by their nature require active participation and reward mastery, lending naturally to the framework of active learning. In this study, we designed and evaluated the efficacy of a lab activity using a game where strategy hinges on sums of dice to teach about linear combinations of independent random variables. We found that both activities lead to improved understandings of course concepts, but the dice game provided increased student engagement and interest.

Effect of External Counterpulsation on Running Performance and Perceived Recovery
Authors: Russell Suzanna , Evans Angus G. , Jenkins David G. , Kelly Vincent G. 
Published: February 2020

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of 20 minutes of external counterpulsation (ECP) on subsequent 1.2-km shuttle run test (1.2SRT) performance and perceived recovery following fatiguing high-intensity exercise. Methods: After familiarization, 13 recreationally active males (21.4 [1.9] y) participated in 2 experimental trials in a randomized crossover design. At 8:00 AM, participants completed a 1.2SRT, followed by an individualized high-intensity exercise bout and 20 minutes of ECP or supine passive rest (control). At 2:00 PM a second 1.2SRT was completed. Completion time for 1.2SRT (measured in seconds), heart rate, and Borg rating of perceived exertion were compared across conditions. Total quality of recovery and 100-mm visual analogue scale of perceived benefit of recovery were assessed at multiple time points. Results: A significantly smaller decline in PM 1.2SRT completion time compared with AM (baseline) was found for ECP compared with control (P = .008; moderate, very likely beneficial effect size of −0.77 [−1.53 to 0.05]). Total quality of recovery was significantly higher for ECP than control (P < .001), and perceived benefit of recovery was higher following ECP (P < .001, very large, most likely beneficial effect size of 2.08 [1.22 to 2.81]). Conclusions: Twenty minutes of ECP was found to be an effective recovery modality for within-day, between-bouts exercise, positively influencing subsequent 1.2SRT performance and enhancing perceptual recovery. ECP may be applied as a viable alternative to optimize and accelerate the recovery process, particularly in the event of congested training or competition demands.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
The initial stages of seamount subduction and associated deformation in an overriding accretionary wedge is rarely documented. Initial subduction of Bennett Knoll seamount and faulting of the overlying strata along the Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, are here studied using multibeam swath bathymetry, subbottom profiles, and regional seismic reflection lines. Our results provide new insights into the earliest stages of seamount collision at sediment-rich margins. Differential shortening along the subduction front induced by seamount subduction is initially accommodated in the accretionary wedge by conjugate strike-slip faults that straddle the buried flanks of the seamount and offset the frontal thrusts by as much as 5 km. The geometries of the strike-slip faults are controlled by the seamount’s dimensions and aspect, the obliquity of plate convergence, pore-fluid pressure, and the thickness and rheology of the incoming sedimentary section. Strike-slip faults in such settings are ephemeral and overprinted by the formation of new structures as seamount subduction advances.

ObjectivePeople with type 2 diabetes on insulin are at risk for hypoglycemia. Recurrent hypoglycemia can cause impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH), and increase the risk for severe hypoglycemia. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and determinants of self-reported IAH and severe hypoglycemia in a Dutch nationwide cohort of people with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes.Research design and methodsObservational study of The Dutch Diabetes Pearl, a cohort of people with type 2 diabetes treated in primary, secondary and tertiary diabetes care centers. The presence of IAH and the occurrence of severe hypoglycemia in the past year, defined as an event requiring external help to recover, were assessed using the validated Dutch version of the Clarke questionnaire. In addition, clinical variables were collected including age, diabetes duration, hemoglobin A1c, ethnicity and education.Results2350 people with type 2 diabetes on insulin were included: 59.1% men, mean age 61.1±10.4 years, mean diabetes duration 14.8±9.2 years and 79.5% on basal-bolus therapy. A total of 229 patients (9.7%) were classified as having IAH and 742 patients (31.6%) reported severe hypoglycemia. Increased odds for IAH were found with complex insulin regimens and lower odds with having a partner and body mass index ≥30 kg/m2. Severe hypoglycemia was associated with complex insulin regimens, non-Caucasian ethnicity and use of psychoactive drugs, and inversely with metformin use.ConclusionsIn this nationwide cohort, almost one out of ten people with type 2 diabetes on insulin had IAH and >30% had a history of severe hypoglycemia in the past year.

Published: February 2020

ObjectivesThe physiological determinants of left ventricular (LV) mechanical dispersion (MD) are not fully explored. We aimed to investigate the impact of afterload reduction and changes in ventricular conduction on LV MD after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).MethodsPatients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) were examined in a prospective, repeated measures observational cohort study before and after an uncomplicated transfemoral TAVI in a single tertiary centre. LV MD was assessed by speckle tracking echocardiography. Valvulo-arterial impedance (ZVA) was used as a measure of global afterload.ResultsWe included 140 consecutive patients (83±8 years old, 49% women, logistic EuroSCORE 16±10) with severe AS (valve area 0.7±0.2 cm2, mean transvalvular gradient 54±18 mm Hg) and a relatively preserved LV ejection fraction (52%±11%). After TAVI, we observed favourable changes in transvalvular gradients and ZVA in all patients. Compared with baseline, postprocedural MD was significantly lower in 108 patients with unchanged ventricular conduction (55±17 ms vs 51±17 ms, p=0.02) and higher in 28 patients with TAVI-induced left bundle branch block (51±13 ms vs 62±19 ms, p≤0.001). During 22±9 months observation, 22 patients died. Postprocedural MD was associated with mortality in a univariate Cox regression model (HR=1.24 (1.01–1.52), p<0.04, per 10 ms increase).ConclusionsIsolated afterload reduction was associated with reduction of MD, while concomitant impairment of ventricular conduction resulted in a more pronounced MD after TAVI, indicating that loading conditions and conduction should be considered when evaluating MD. A pronounced postprocedural LV MD was associated with mortality.
Thread Scheduling Sequence Generation Based on All Synchronization Pair Coverage Criteria
Authors: Guo JunXia , Li Zheng , Shi CunFeng , Zhao RuiLian 
Published: February 2020

Testing multi-thread programs becomes extremely difficult because thread interleavings are uncertain, which may cause a program getting different results in each execution. Thus, Thread Scheduling Sequence (TSS) is a crucial factor in multi-thread program testing. A good TSS can obtain better testing efficiency and save the testing cost especially with the increase of thread numbers. Focusing on the above problem, in this paper, we discuss a kind of approach that can efficiently generate TSS based on the concurrent coverage criteria. First, we give a definition of Synchronization Pair (SP) as well as all Synchronization Pairs Coverage (ASPC) criterion. Then, we introduce the Synchronization Pair Thread Graph (SPTG) to describe the relationships between SPs and threads. Moreover, this paper presents a TSS generation method based on the ASPC according to SPTG. Finally, TSSs automatic generation experiments are conducted on six multi-thread programs in Java Library with the help of Java Path Finder (JPF) tool. The experimental results illustrate that our method not only generates TSSs to cover all SPs but also requires less state number, transition number as well as TSS number when satisfying ASPC, compared with other three widely used TSS generation methods. As a result, it is clear that the efficiency of TSS generation is obviously improved.
