Acute Physiological Effects of Continuous Versus Intermittent Walking During Golf in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis
Authors: Jayabalan Prakash , Bergman Rachel , Jauregui Emilio , Hanaoka Chad , Stoker Aaron M. 
Published: July 2021

Objective
The aim of the study was to compare the acute effects of walking the golf course versus using a golf cart during a round of golf on biological markers of joint disease, joint pain, and cardiovascular parameters in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.

Methods
Participants with knee OA (n = 10) older than 50 yrs were recruited for this crossover designed study in which they completed two 18-hole rounds of golf: (1) walking the course and (2) using a golf cart. Five control participants (n = 5) performed the walking condition only. Step count, heart rate, rating of perceived exertion and pain using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale were measured during the round. Serum was collected at baseline, 9th hole (halfway), and 18th hole (completion) and tested for biomarkers associated with tissue turnover (cartilage oligomeric matrix protein), inflammation (tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 1β, interleukin 6), and degradative enzyme production (matrix metalloproteinase 3, matrix metalloproteinase 13).

Results
In knee OA participants, walking the course was associated with significantly higher step count and duration of moderate/vigorous physical activity (72.2% vs. 32.6% of the round) but did lead to a significant increase in knee joint pain (P < 0.05). Both conditions caused cartilage oligomeric matrix protein and matrix metalloproteinase 13 concentration increases from baseline to completion (P < 0.05), but inflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 6, and interleukin 1β, P < 0.05) only increased when walking the course. Biomarker concentrations did not increase in control participants.

Conclusions
Walking the course optimizes the duration of moderate/vigorous activity during a round of golf, but the golf cart is a beneficial option in those with exacerbated joint pain and inflammation that would otherwise limit participation.

Abstract
Children with craniofacial microsomia (CFM) are at increased risk for educational and social concerns. This study describes intervention services and frequency of teasing in a multinational population of children with CFM. Caregivers of children with CFM ages 3 to 18 years in the US and South America were administered a questionnaire. Additional information was gathered from medical charts and photographs. Participants (N = 169) had an average age of 10.1 ± 6.2 years, were primarily male (60%), and from the US (46%) or Colombia (32%). Most participants had microtia and mandibular hypoplasia (70%). They often had unilateral (71%) or bilateral (19%) hearing loss and 53% used a hearing aid. In the US, special education services were provided for 48% of participants enrolled in school; however, similar services were rare (4%) in South America and reflect differences in education systems. Access to any intervention service was higher in the US (80%) than in South America (48%). Caregivers reported children showed diagnosis awareness by an average age of 4.4 ± 1.9 years. Current or past teasing was reported in 41% of the children, starting at a mean age of 6.0 ± 2.4 years, and most often took place at school (86%). As half of the US participants received developmental and academic interventions, providers should screen for needs and facilitate access to services. Given diagnosis awareness at age 4 and teasing at age 6, providers are encouraged to assess for psychosocial concerns and link to resources early in treatment.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the cited-references in the articles published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery between 1995 and 2020. On February 20, 2021, all articles published before January 1, 2021, in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery were listed using advanced search in the Web of Science database. The journal's ISSN and e-ISSN numbers were used to perform this search. All information about these articles has been marked and exported to Tab-delimited (Win) format. It was then analyzed with the VOSviewer software. In the Web of Science database, it was investigated that a total of 11,888 articles were published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery between 1995 and 2020. A total of 137,829 different cited-references were used in these 11,888 articles. The top 15 most cited-references were identified. It was found that the first 3 most cited journals were Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (n: 21,700; 15.74%), Journal of Craniofacial Surgery (n: 12,199; 8.85%), and Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (n: 9383, 6.81%), respectively. As far as we know, the present study is the first study to analyze the cited-references in the field of craniofacial surgery. The authors think that the publications determined in this study are fundamental building blocks for both the field of craniofacial surgery and the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery.
The Impact of Simulation Based Training on the Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery Performance Examination
Authors: Ritter E. Matthew , Park Yoon Soo , Durning Steven J. , Tekian Ara S. 
Published: July 2021

Objective:
To determine if simulation training is required to pass the FES skills test and assess the relationship between simulation training, clinical training, and FES skills test performance.

Summary of Background Data:
The ABS began requiring completion of the Flexible Endoscopy Curriculum for all applicants beginning in 2018. The role of simulation-based training in FES skills test performance after this requirement has not been evaluated.

Methods:
De-identified data from the initial FES skills tests after the Flexible Endoscopy Curriculum requirement was reviewed, and 731 unique participants with reported simulation experience demographics were identified. Self-reported data included sex, upper (UE) and lower (LE) endoscopy experience, and simulator training hours (SE). Final FES skills exam scores and pass/fail designations for each participant were reported by the FES program staff.

Results:
There was a statistically discernible difference in mean FES total scores between those reporting no SE and more experienced groups (P = 0.002), and between less and more experienced UE and LE groups (P < 0.001). There was no statistically discernible difference in FES skills exam pass rates between SE groups (P = 0.2), but there was a strong relationship between clinical experience (UE & LE) and pass rate (P < 0.001). Finally, on logistic regression analysis, LE was a discernible predictor of passing [odds ratio (OR) = 1.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1–1.8, P = 0.02], while UE [odds ratio (OR) = 1, 95% CI 0.8-1.3, P = 0.9] and SE (OR = 1,95% CI 0.9– 1.3, P = 0.7) were not.

Conclusions:
There is no threat to the validity of the FES skills test from a need for simulation training to pass the FES skills test. Similarly, the amount of simulation practice is not predictive of passing, but can improve performance on certain FES tasks.
Online user comments responding to deemed consent organ donor legislation in Nova Scotia: a divided public or a few loud voices?
Authors: Marcon Alessandro R. , Wagner Darren N. , Rachul Christen , Weiss Matthew J. 
Published: July 2021

AbstractBackgroundThe Canadian province of Nova Scotia recently became the first jurisdiction in North America to pass deemed consent organ donation legislation. This change in legislation generated substantial online discussion, which we analyzed to provide insights on public perception.MethodsWe performed directed content analysis on 2663 user-generated comments appearing on two widely-shared Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) articles published online in April 2019. We determined levels of support and opposition in comments and described the specific rhetoric used for doing so. We also performed one-way ANOVA and Pearson chi-square tests to determine how the comments were being received and engaged by other users.ResultsA range of commentary was present in both support and opposition to the changes in legislation. There were more negative than positive comments, and negative commentary generated more replies. Positive comments were received more positively by other users, while negative comments were received more negatively. The total sum of negative comments was greatly influenced by a small number of very active participants. Negative commentary focused more on broad concepts and principles related to government, power, and individual rights rather than specific issues in the Nova Scotian context. Substantial issues of trust in the government and healthcare system were evident.ConclusionsThere were strong positive and negative sentiments expressed in the comments, but the total sum of negativity in the comments was significantly influenced by a small number of commentators. Analysis on the presumed consent concerns can be helpful to inform public outreach efforts.Implication StatementThis research is the first to examine the robust online commentary regarding reactions to Nova Scotia’s recently-passed deemed consent organ donation law. Our analysis provides extensive detail on the commentary in favour and in opposition to the new law, which has relevance for understanding public perception and designing public outreach.
Autistic traits in Indian general population and patient group samples: distribution, factor structure, reliability and validity of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient
Authors: Karmakar Asmita , Bhattacharya Manisha , Chatterjee Susmita , Dogra Atanu Kumar 
Published: July 2021

Purpose
The Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) is a widely used tool to quantify autistic traits in the general population. This study aims to report the distribution, group differences and factor structure of autistic traits in Indian general population. The work also assesses the criterion validity of AQ across three patient group samples – autism spectrum disorder (ASD), obsessive-compulsive disorder and social anxiety disorder.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, psychometric properties of the adapted AQ were assessed among 450 neurotypical university students matched for age. Confirmatory factor analysis was done to see if the adapted AQ fits the original factor structure. Test–retest, internal consistency reliability and criterion validity were found out. Group differences (gender and field of study) in AQ were also assessed.

Findings
Autistic traits were found to be continuously distributed in the population, and patterns of group differences were consistent with previous studies. The adapted AQ had five factors resembling the original factor structure with a good fit, and 38 items instead of the original 50 items. Acceptable reliability coefficients were demonstrated along with criterion validity across clinical groups.

Originality/value
This work is the first to present the pattern of distribution and factor structure of autistic traits among neurotypical adults from Eastern India, a culturally different population, as well as a reliable and valid tool to assess autistic traits in Bengali, a language with 300 million speakers. The findings add to the growing literature on AQ measurement and the concept of autism as a quantitative trait, examined outside of the western samples.
Achieving construction innovation in best value procurement projects: New Zealand mega projects study
Authors: Ying Fei J. , Zhao Nan , Tookey John 
Published: July 2021

Purpose
Best value procurement (BVP) has been recognized for some time as offering significant opportunities to advance process excellence in the construction sector. As an innovative approach to strategic procurement, BVP has attracted attention from the New Zealand (NZ) Government. It has similarly been found that the most substantial benefit of this modified approach to procurement is in value creation and innovative organizational processes through identifying “best value.” Yet to date, there is a lack of robust evidence as to how BVP can exactly influence construction innovation. Accordingly, this paper aims to explore how to improve BVP implementation to promote construction innovation and what are the values to be achieved in BVP mega projects from the view of innovation.

Design/methodology/approach
Semi-structured interviews with 22 participants, including project managers, procurement specialists, engineers and general managers from three organization types, were conducted to explore BVP implementation in a range of mega construction projects in NZ.

Findings
Barriers to BVP implementation and value innovation have been identified in this paper. Data analysis suggested traditional mindset in the procurement process, market constraints, mistrusts and fuzzy definition of BVP are the challenges for BVP implementation; BVP cultivates organizational competition because of diverse collaboration models and value attitudes; and BVP considers more values from the whole supply chain. To promote innovative construction, existing BVP should consider adopting progressive enhancements toward updating procurement guidance, encouraging effective communications, collaborating and promoting changes in stakeholders’ mindset.

Practical implications
Identified barriers to BVP implementation set up a platform for framing guidance, which could provide an effective approach as it enables a better understanding of what BVP means to NZ and what needs to be overcome. Taking this into account, similar small size markets around the world would be able to consider the applicability of BVP for innovative improvements.

Originality/value
This paper provides insights into value concepts in project procurement. It theoretically and practically possesses originality in linking BVP to innovative construction. The study of BVP and its application further reveals the importance of establishing a distinct regulation and fostering organizational competition from value aspects to achieve construction innovation.
Love & hate in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver: features of an unusual drug scene
Authors: Stallwitz Anke 
Published: July 2021

Purpose
According to conventional research and political conceptions, illicit drug scenes are often characterised by cultures of crime, violence and deceit and customarily met by repressive law enforcement. However, a growing body of research demonstrates the very diverse nature of drug subcultures. This paper aims to explore this diversity and thereby investigates the psychosocial and socio-spatial features people selling and/or using drugs in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver (DTES) attribute to the local drug scene.

Design/methodology/approach
Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with 23 persons with drug selling and/or using experiences in the DTES. Interviews were analysed and interpreted according to grounded theory.

Findings
Participants represent the social fabric of the DTES drug scene as comprising complexly interwoven facets and structures including frequent, brutal violence on the one hand and sincere, heart-rending compassion, care and even love on the other.

Originality/value
Police and social and health services can cooperate constructively with the overriding aim of individual and social harm reduction. Thereby, the existing social network and prosocial orientations of a drug scene can be used in effective approaches such as participatory policy strategies and peer-driven interventions.
The effect of the employee perceived training on job satisfaction: the mediating role of workplace stress
Authors: Sesen Harun , Ertan Senay Sahil 
Published: July 2021

Purpose
This study aims to mediate the impact of workplace stress and job satisfaction on nurses’ perception of training. It sheds light on the links between job satisfaction, Certified Nursing Assistants’ perception of training and workplace stress in nursing homes.

Design/methodology/approach
A cross-sectional questionnaire was distributed in 12 different elderly home care centres in Northern Cyprus during September to October 2017. The sampling frame consists of 317 full-time Certified Nursing Assistants who completed measures of perception of training, job satisfaction and workplace stress. This paper used structural equation modelling to test a theoretical model and hypothesis.

Findings
The findings emphasize that Certified Nursing Assistants’ perception of training has a positive impact on their job satisfaction and negative impact on workplace stress while workplace stress mediates the relationship between their perception of training and job satisfaction. The results indicate that while the motivation for training and support for training have an effect on job satisfaction, access to training and benefits for training do not yield any significant impact on it and workplace stress plays a mediating role.

Originality/value
This study confirms that the CNAs’ perception of training and job stress affect the emergence of job satisfaction, and workplace stress mediated the relation between training and satisfaction posited by social exchange theory.
Six sigma project prioritization and selection methods: a systematic literature review
Authors: Pakdil Fatma 
Published: July 2021

Purpose
Given the critical role of project prioritization and selection process in Six Sigma efforts, this study aims to analyse the relevant literature to answer this question: What types of project prioritization and selection methods have been used in Six Sigma research?

Design/methodology/approach
The study implemented the systematic literature review (SLR) method to identify and review all relevant previous studies.

Findings
The study revealed that 59 articles focused on the topic used 111 methods, analytic hierarchy process appeared as the most frequently used method with 12 articles (20%) and one-third of the methods used in the current Six Sigma project selection literature contained multi-criteria decision-making methods. In total, 61% of 59 articles were not published in the journals ranked by the ABDC’s list. Only 17% of the articles reviewed in this study were published in journals ranked as B category and 12% of the articles were published in A category journals.

Practical implications
The findings of this literature review may help Six Sigma practitioners and researchers accurately identify project prioritization and selection methods, considering that qualitative and quantitative scientific methods guarantee to make better decisions than “gut feelings” of the decision makers in this process.

Originality/value
Although a variety of studies focused on the topic, an SLR is lacking in the area of Six Sigma project prioritization and selection. Therefore, this study was constructed using the SLR method to analyse the topic.

Published: July 2021

Purpose
During COVID 19 pandemic emergency remote teaching (ERT) in higher education emerged and faculty members had to go through a transformation in teaching-learning without preparedness. The purpose of the study is to understand the instructional delivery experiences of faculty members, explore the challenges and how they overcame these challenges during the transition from traditional classroom teaching to ERT.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative research approach using phenomenology is adapted for the study. The study is conducted in selected renowned government and private universities offering professional education in India, Malaysia, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Data analysis is using NVivo, data management software, based on Ricouer’s theory of interpretation.

Findings
The findings identify unique challenges and opportunities in faculty experiences during the implementation of ERT and universities require more preparedness in implementing a revised pedagogy. Addressing these unique challenges is, therefore, essential in effective change management and ensuring the effectiveness of instructional delivery.

Research limitations/implications
The study comprises faculty experiences from only selected countries (the United Arab Emirates, Oman, India and Malaysia) and disciplines such as business studies, design and architecture, engineering, hospitality and tourism management, medicine and nursing. The research contributes towards change management and adaptability strategies during emergency transitions.

Practical implications
The study has implications in the field of education, administration, research and society at large. This is an era of change that has witnessed tremendous possibilities of digital technology in enhancing remote teaching and learning at all levels of education worldwide. The study enumerates the factors influencing the paradigm shift in the pedagogy for present and future higher education. The present study also highlights how challenging this transformation was to the lives of professional academics and emphasized how effectively the faculty need to be mentored for the future by the administration. Future research can envisage effective tools and techniques for strengthening professional education at universities. The social context and human experiences in ERT and their impact on the process of learning are also addressed in the study.

Social implications
The study aims to understand the social context and human experiences in the process of ERT and their impact on the process of learning.

Originality/value
The findings of the study would throw light into the factors influencing the paradigm shift in the pedagogy for present and future higher education.
