Understanding Chinese consumers’ and Chinese immigrants’ purchase intentions toward global brands with Chinese elements
Authors: Laroche Michel , Li Rong , Richard Marie-Odile , Shao Muxin 
Published: December 2020

Purpose
This study aims to investigate how consumers respond to global brands adapting to local elements. Specifically, this study identified three factors (i.e., cultural compatibility, cultural elements authenticity and cultural pride) affecting the purchase intentions (PIs) toward global brands using Chinese elements among Chinese consumers in China and Chinese immigrants in North America. Another aim is to examine the moderating role of acculturation in the relationship between cultural pride and PIs among Chinese immigrants.

Design/methodology/approach
Three studies were conducted to test the hypotheses in China and North America. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm the factor structure. Hierarchical regression was used to test the main effects and moderated regression analysis was used to test the moderation effect.

Findings
Results show that cultural compatibility, cultural elements authenticity (CEA) and cultural pride positively affect the PIs toward global brands with Chinese elements for both Chinese consumers and Chinese immigrants. Further, among Chinese immigrants, acculturation moderates the relationship between cultural pride and PIs.

Originality/value
This study explored the factors influencing the PIs toward global brands using Chinese elements, filling a research gap. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine how perceived CEA affects consumers’ PIs toward global brands with Chinese elements. Further, the findings have implications for global brands that want to target Chinese consumers and Chinese immigrants in overseas markets.

Published: December 2020

AbstractLatitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs) of species richness in most marine taxa appear to be bimodal with a dip at the equator. We compared LDGs for modeled ranges of 5,619 marine fish species, and distinguished between: all, pelagic, demersal, bony and cartilaginous fish groups; five taxonomic levels of class, order, family, genus and species; and four depth zones namely whole water column, 0–200 m, 200–1,000 m, and 1,000–6,000 m; at 5° latitudinal intervals. The modality of 88 LDGs was examined visually and using Hartigan's dip statistic. We found 80 LDGs were bimodal (or not unimodal), two gradients were unimodal and six gradients were ambiguous. All species and genera, and 19 families among fish groups and depth zones had bimodal or not unimodal LDGs. The northern hemisphere mode had 2–6% greater richness from species to order richness. Overall fish, the peak of richness shifted poleward across taxonomic levels, from 25°N for species to median 48°N for class and from 10°S for genus to 35°S for class. Temperature and salinity were significantly correlated with the LDG. Our findings using fish species ranges support previous analyses using species' occurrences, namely that the LDG of marine species is bimodal, by generalizing this to all taxonomic levels and depth zones. That the LDG with a dip near the equator supports the hypothesis that it is primarily temperature driven, and that the equator is already too hot for some species.

Published: December 2020

AbstractBackgroundSeveral methods including vibration have been proposed for pain control during a local anaesthetic injection. This study was aimed to evaluate the scientific evidence on vibration devices used to reduce injection pain perception in children.MethodsThe search terms were chosen according to the Medical Subject Headings MeSH and non‐MeSH. Potentially eligible studies involved the subjective or objective pain evaluation in children receiving any type of dental injection. An electronic search of published studies in English language was carried out in March 2020 on Scopus, Cochrane, and PubMed databases.Of 1659 articles retrieved initially, 14 were eligible to be included in the systematic review, of which eight articles were excluded. The vibration devices used in the studies included Buzzy or DentalVibe. Four studies using Dentalvibe contributed to the meta‐analysis.ResultsThe results of meta‐analysis indicated a mean difference of 0.057 for FLACC pain scores between intervention and control conditions (P‐value = 0.740). Wong–Baker Faces scores showed a mean difference of 0.009 (P‐value = 0.964), which also showed no statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups.ConclusionsThe findings revealed that use of DentalVibe for Paediatric dental injections was not effective in reducing pain perception. However, use of Buzzy showed promising results.

Published: December 2020

AbstractPurposeTo describe the outcome of retinal detachment surgery in a population affected by rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in southern Sweden 2011–2013.MethodAll primary retinal detachments that underwent surgery at the Skåne University Hospital were registered during the period of 2011–2013. Age, sex, lens status and the different surgical methods including type of tamponade were recorded. For outcome assessment, no reoperation within 6 months was considered as primary success with one surgery except silicone oil removal.ResultsIn total, 918 primary retinal detachments were recorded during the 3‐year period. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone was used in 618 eyes (67.3%), whereas an external approach with scleral buckling (SB) was used in 184 cases (20.0%) and a combination of PPV + SB in 116 eyes (12.6%). Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in combination with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation was performed in 169 eyes (18.4%), which was 43.6% of the phakic eyes having a PPV procedure. A total of 346 eyes (37.7%) were pseudophakic preoperatively. The success rate of one surgery was 86.9% for the entire cohort. In 120 eyes (13.1%), there was a re‐detachment during the 6‐month follow‐up time. Higher age at the primary surgery turned out to be correlated to an increased risk of primary failure (p = 0.018) but gender was not (p = 0.84). Preoperative lens status did not affect the risk of re‐detachment (p = 0.36), and there were no differences in outcome between surgeons (p = 0.27). No surgical procedure – alone or in combination – showed superior outcome as primary surgical approach.ConclusionsThere were no significant differences in anatomical outcome between the various surgical procedures in this large cohort of 918 RRD cases.
Distant cutaneous metastasis of malignant epithelioid mesothelioma
Authors: Collins Katrina , Nagarajan Priyadharsini , Aung Phyu P. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractMalignant mesothelioma is a locally aggressive malignancy most commonly arising from the pleural and/or peritoneal cavity. Distant cutaneous metastasis is extremely rare. Here, we describe two cases of mesothelioma metastatic to the head and neck skin. Case 1: A 64‐year‐old man diagnosed previously with extensive thoracic and abdominal mesothelioma, developed a rapidly growing right upper lip lesion, for which a wedge resection was performed. Case 2: A 77‐year‐old woman with a history of pleural mesothelioma developed a firm, mobile subcutaneous nodule on the right lateral forehead, clinically thought to represent either an epidermal inclusion cyst or a lipoma. A punch biopsy was performed. In both cases, histopathologic evaluation revealed dermal proliferation of epithelioid cells with moderate cytologic atypia and three mitotic figures per mm2 and two mitotic figures per mm2 for Cases 1 and 2, respectively. Immunohistochemical studies revealed the lesional cells to be positive for WT1, mesothelin, D2‐40, CK5/6, while being negative for melanocytic and other keratinocytic markers, supporting a diagnosis of metastatic mesothelioma. Awareness of rare instances of cutaneous metastases from malignant mesothelioma is necessary to avoid possible misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate management.
Moral habitus: An approach to understanding embedded disrespectful practices
Authors: Subramani Supriya 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe moral habitus shows how morally oriented clinical interactions through everyday social evaluations generate and sustain disrespectful attitudes and behaviours that disregard patients and family members. These attitudes and behaviours often result from the habitual nature of interaction styles and embodied bodily dispositions within particular hospital settings. By utilising the data of a qualitative study in two hospitals in the south Indian city of Chennai, I illustrate the role of moral habitus in understanding these disrespectful attitudes and behaviours. I show how the stereotyping and embodied bodily dispositions by healthcare professionals raise moral and ethical questions, such as those related to ethical value of respect for persons. I conclude that studying the moral habitus of hospital settings is significant for proposing ways to respect patients and family members of patients in practice and uphold ethical values, and to have meaningful healthcare interactions. Furthermore, the concept of moral habitus offers theoretical grounds for understanding these attitudes and behaviours in hospital settings, while engaging in ethics and patient‐centred care debates, to bridge the gap between theory and practice of respect.

Published: December 2020

AbstractIn this study, a concept of initial cracking strength of concrete was elaborated. A fracture model and associated methods for determining independent initial cracking strength and initial fracture toughness by the three‐point bending (3‐p‐b) and wedge splitting (WS) concrete specimens are presented. The initial cracking strength and initial fracture toughness can be simultaneously determined using a curve fitting method from the proposed fracture model. All of the initial fracture curves were obtained by the determined concrete materials. The initial loads of the 3‐p‐b and WS specimens were predicted on the basis of the curves with ±15% ranges. Furthermore, the initial cracking strength and the initial fracture toughness of concretes were directly determined by analytical functions. The determined values within ±15% ranges cover most of the initial loads of the 3‐p‐b and WS specimens.
Predator and prey events at the entrance of a surface‐oriented fish collector at North Fork Dam, Oregon

Published: December 2020

AbstractQuantifiable estimates of predator–prey interactions and relationships in aquatic habitats are difficult to obtain and rare, especially when individuals cannot be readily observed. To overcome this observational impediment, imaging sonar was used to assess the cooccurrence of predator‐size fish and juvenile salmonids, Oncorhynchus spp., at the entrance to a floating surface collector (FSC) in the forebay of North Fork Dam on the Clackamas River, Oregon (USA). Imaging sonar can be used to transform active sound waves into visual data, making it possible to obtain continuous underwater observations on the presence and interspecific interactions between predator‐size fish and prey (juvenile salmonids). Hourly counts of smolt‐size fish tracks, diel phase, water clarity and river discharge were used as covariates within a zero‐inflated Poisson model to determine how these factors may influence the number of predators in front of the FSC. Both the number of smolt‐size fish tracks and diel phase had the strongest effects on the number of predator‐size fish tracks, with more predator‐size fish tracks observed during the daytime, and as the number of smolt‐size fish tracks increased. Additionally, the presence of predator‐size fish may affect the abundance and direction of travel of juvenile salmonids, as fewer smolt‐size fish were observed when predators were present, and a greater proportion of smolt‐size fish were observed travelling away from the FSC when predator‐size fish were present. This study provides estimates of predator and prey fish abundance in the vicinity of surface collection systems at moderate‐sized hydropower projects and could help resource managers better understand mechanisms that can influence the survival and passage behaviour of juvenile salmonids using surface collection structures at dams.
POPULAR KINEMATICS: TECHNICAL KNOWING IN THE AGE OF MACHINES
Authors: GITELMAN LISA 
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACTThe history of knowledge easily includes the history of science but has a harder time including the history of technology. Although the historical profession has productively explored how technology is knowledge, the framing of this equivalence can itself be historicized, and nineteenth‐century analyses of machines offer one opportunity to do so. Taking popular illustrated representations of machine components—mechanisms—as its examples, this essay pursues a mechanic's answer to the question of how technology is knowledge. Henry T. Brown's immensely popular Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements (1868) draws on a long publication tradition to present mechanical motion as the key to understanding machines, a notion that would be revised by practitioners of the emergent science of kinematics and profession of mechanical engineering. Brown's book takes up but does not solve the problem of representing mechanical movement on the page, and it exhibits contradictory commitments to technology as ideational—invented by individuals—and technology as the cumulative expressions of human culture. Itself the product of the latest industrial printing techniques, Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements represents technical knowing as a species of intuitive visualization stimulated by text‐image correlation as well as by experiencing machines themselves.
Using a kinect‐based game to teach oral hygiene in four elementary students with intellectual disabilities
Authors: Kang Ya‐Shu , Chang Yao‐Jen , Howell Stephen Richard 
Published: December 2020

AbstractBackgroundIndividuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) may have difficulties in performing daily living tasks. Among other daily living tasks, independent oral hygiene is an essential life skill for people with ID.Materials and MethodsFour children with intellectual disabilities (two males and two females, ages 7‐11) participated in the experiment. We employed the KinectTM V2 sensor to gamify oral hygiene skill training. Specifically, a non‐concurrent multiple baseline design was adopted to demonstrate the relation between game‐based intervention and independent oral hygiene skills.ResultsAll students learned how to brush their teeth independently and maintained the skill 4 weeks later with the introduction of the game‐based training. Social validity results showed the teachers and parents considered the video game was useful.ConclusionsThe proposed Kinect‐based video game might be used for effective training of elementary students with ID to improve oral hygiene independently.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESBriefer measures of symptoms and functional limitations may reduce assessment burden and facilitate monitoring populations of persons with dementia (PWD).DESIGNProspective follow‐up study.SETTINGUniversity‐based dementia care management program.PARTICIPANTS1,091 PWD.MEASUREMENTSWe assessed cognition (Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)—11 tasks), neuropsychiatric symptom severity (Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire Severity Scale (NPIQ‐S)—12 items), and functional ability (Activities of Daily Living (ADL)—6 items; Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ)—10 items). Item response theory was used to select subsets of items by identifying low item discrimination (<1.50), poor item fit (χ2), local dependence (LD), and with difficulty similar to other items. We estimated correlations between original and shorter scales and compared their associations with mortality. We added two symptoms (trouble swallowing, coughing when eating) reflecting late‐stage dementia complications, created a multi‐dimensional dementia assessment composite, and examined its association with mortality.RESULTSFive MMSE tasks were eliminated: two with low discrimination, two with difficulty similar to other items, and one with poor fit. The remaining tasks were correlated with the full MMSE at r = 0.82. We retained three ADLs that were correlated with the total ADL set at r = 0.95 and kept five FAQ items that were not LD (correlation with full FAQ, r = 0.97). Associations with mortality were similar between the longer and shorter scales. A higher score on the composite (range 0–100) indicates worse dementia impact and was associated with mortality (hazard ratio (HR) per scale point: 1.03 (1.02–1.04)).CONCLUSIONThese brief assessments and dementia composite may reduce administration time while preserving validity.
Interest and perceived capability of self‐care in haemodialysis units
Authors: Kurtz Chava , Geron Ronit , Shadmi Efrat 
Published: December 2020

AbstractAimsTo (a) assess patients' interest and perceived capability of participating in haemodialysis; (b) assess nurses' perceptions of patients’ interest and perceived capability of participating in haemodialysis; and (c) examine associations between patient characteristics and interest and perceived capability of performing haemodialysis self‐care.DesignCross‐sectional, questionnaire‐based study.MethodsData were collected from dialysis patients and their nurses between October 2018–May 2019. Patients’ interest and perceived capability of participation were assessed by a 10‐item Likert‐type scale developed and tested for this study, with responses ranging from 1 (not interested/no perceived capability) to 5 (already doing task independently). Multivariate linear regression was used to assess the relationship between patient characteristics, including age, sex, education level and severity of illness to ratings of activation level and haemodialysis self‐care scale scores. The STROBE checklist was used as a guideline for this study.ResultsNinety‐one patients and 31 nurses participated. Overall, patients expressed interest (2.43 ± 0.93) and perceived themselves capable (2.34 ± 0.9) of participating in various haemodialysis‐related tasks. Nurses assessed lower interest (2.19 ± 0.77) than patients, but similar average capability (2.31 ± 0.8). Both greater interest and perceived capability were correlated with more years of education and higher patient activation; additionally, interest was associated with disease severity and perceived capability was associated with age.ConclusionHaemodialysis patients are interested and perceive themselves capable of participating in the tasks involved in dialysis care. Nurses underestimate patient interest in participation.Relevance to clinical practiceSelf‐care behaviours among haemodialysis patients are important, as they may affect quality of life and survival. Determining interest and perceived capability of participation is a first step towards evaluating the feasibility of self‐care in a supervised haemodialysis setting.
Feedback from health professionals in postgraduate medical education: Influence of interprofessional relationship, identity and power

Published: December 2020

AbstractIntroductionCapitalising on direct workplace observations of residents by interprofessional team members might be an effective strategy to promote formative feedback in postgraduate medical education. To better understand how interprofessional feedback is conceived, delivered, received and used, we explored both feedback provider and receiver perceptions of workplace feedback.MethodsWe conducted 17 individual interviews with residents and eight focus groups with health professionals (HPs) (two nurses, two rehabilitation therapists, two pharmacists and two social workers), for a total of 61 participants. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, data collection and analysis proceeded as an iterative process using constant comparison to identify and explore themes.ResultsConceptualisations and content of feedback were dependent on whether the resident was perceived as a learner or a peer within the interprofessional relationship. Residents relied on interprofessional role understanding to determine how physician competencies align with HP roles. The perceived alignment was unique to each profession and influenced feedback credibility judgements. Residents prioritised feedback from physicians or within the Medical Expertise domain—a role that HPs felt was over‐valued. Despite ideal opportunities for direct observation, operational enactment of feedback was influenced by power differentials between the professions.DiscussionOur results illuminate HPs’ conceptualisation of feedback for residents and the social constructs influencing how their feedback is disseminated. Professional identity and social categorisation added complexity to feedback acceptance and incorporation. To ensure that interprofessional feedback can achieve desired outcomes, education programmes should implement strategies to help mitigate intergroup bias and power imbalance.
Key issues in professionalizing mentoring practices
Authors: Stoeger Heidrun , Balestrini Daniel Patrick , Ziegler Albert 
Published: December 2020

AbstractMentoring has experienced a tremendous upswing over the past decades, which has only recently slowed down somewhat. One possible factor explaining mentoring's popularity are numerous case studies suggesting that it is one of the most effective ways of helping individuals to develop. Meta‐analyses indicating effect sizes for mentoring that are below what would theoretically be possible appear to contradict the success stories, however. This circumstance raises questions about the professionalization of mentoring practices. We focus on seven key issues for future efforts at professionalizing mentoring. Key issues 1 and 2 address observation of the state of the art within formal mentoring when programs are planned and implemented: the consideration of recent research and of best practices. While both areas can overlap, they provide complementary sources of pertinent information for the professionalization of mentoring. Key issues 3–6 address the need to align mentoring activities to the specific context and goals of individual mentoring programs by observing idiographic program characteristics, mentoring dynamics, the orchestration of mentoring goals, and the provision of mentoring resources. Finally, key issue 7 highlights ongoing evaluation as the basis of the effective, continuous improvement of mentoring programs.
