Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND:
Case-based peer review of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is used by many hospitals for quality improvement and to make decisions regarding physician competency. However, there are no studies testing the reliability or validity of peer review for PCI performance evaluation.

METHODS:
We recruited interventional cardiologists from 12 Veterans Affairs Health System facilities throughout the United States to provide PCI cases for review. Ten reviewers performed blinded reviews such that each case was reviewed twice. Cases were rated on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the best) for 6 care domains (Appropriateness, Lesion Suitability, Strategy, Technical Performance, Outcome, and Documentation) with a summary performance score calculated as the average of all domains. Separately, reviewers determined whether the standard of care was met. Interobserver reliability of the summary performance score was calculated using interclass correlation coefficient. We examined procedural complications and 30-day mortality and major adverse cardiac events for all PCIs performed by these operators from 2019 to 2022 when stratified in tertiles by summary performance score.

RESULTS:

Of the 65 cases provided by 13 operators, the mean summary performance score was 3.90 (SD=0.78) out of 5. The interclass correlation coefficient was 0.53, indicating moderate interobserver reliability. For 19 cases (29.2%), 1 reviewer indicated that the performance did not meet the standard of care; however, the second reviewer disagreed in all these cases. Average performance scores ranged from 3.35 to 4.38. Among the 3390 PCIs performed by reviewed cardiologists from 2019 to 2022, the lowest-rated tertile had higher rates of complications (2.9% versus 1.8%,
P
<0.01) and major adverse cardiac events (10.6% versus 8.0%,
P
<0.01) compared with the highest-rated tertile.

CONCLUSIONS:
Case-based peer review identifies variation in physician performance that is correlated with PCI outcomes. However, reviewer disagreements about the standard of care raise concerns about the use of peer review for high-stakes assessments of physician competency.
Whale-Stranding Images Produced by Artists of the North Sea Countries Between 1563–1848
Authors: Westerlaken Rodney , Mustika Putu Liza 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
As in the present, whale-stranding events in the past have received their own shares of fear and curiosity, as shown by various whale-stranding images (i.e., paintings, etchings, and engravings) produced by artists from countries bordering the North Sea. However, production of these images was not equal among these countries or regions. We catalogued the North Sea regions that produced whale-stranding images between 1500–1900. Possible factors contributing to some countries producing more whale-stranding images than others are examined, and the images’ evolution is assessed. A qualitative anthropological thematic analysis of the images shows that themes shifted over time. Religion, fear or repulsion, public curiosity, spectacles, and scientific inquiries are dominant themes found within the images.
A Survey on Inter-animal Welfare Comparisons
Authors: Bruers Stijn 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
According to a survey among a representative sample of the Belgian population, most people believe that farmed animals like chickens have the same capacity for suffering as humans, and that most farmed land animals (broiler chickens) have negative welfare levels (i.e., experience more suffering than happiness). The suffering of a farmed land animal, estimated by people, is equal in size to the positive welfare of a human (in Belgium) whereas the welfare level of a wild bird is zero on average. As there are more farmed animals than humans in the world, and the populations of small farmed animals (chickens, fish, shrimp and insects) are increasing, most people would have to come to the conclusion that net global welfare (of humans, farmed animals and wild animals combined) is negative and declining. People who care about global welfare should therefore strongly prioritize decreasing animal farming and improving farmed animal welfare conditions.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Global numerical weather models are starting to resolve atmospheric moist convection which comes with a critical need for observational constraints. One avenue for such constraints is spaceborne radar which tends to operate at three wavelengths, Ku, Ka, and W bands. Many studies of deep convection in the past have primarily leveraged the Ku band because it is less affected by attenuation and multiple scattering. However, future spaceborne radar missions might not contain a Ku-band radar, and thus, considering the view of convection from the Ka band or W band compared to the Ku band would be useful. This study examines a coincident dataset between the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission and CloudSat as well as the entire GPM record to compare convective characteristics across various wavelengths within deep convection. We find that W-band reflectivity Z tends to maximize near the Ku-band defined echo top, while the Ka band often maximizes 4–5 km below. The height of the maximum Z above the melting level for the W band does not linearly relate to the Ku-band maximum. However, using the full GPM record, the Ka-band 30-dBZ echo tops can be linearly related to the Ku-band 40-dBZ echo top with an R2 of 0.62 and a root-mean-squared error of about 1 km. The spatial distribution of echo tops from the Ka band corresponds well to the Ku-band echo tops, highlighting regions of relatively large ice water path. This paper suggests that Ka-band only missions, like NASA’s Investigation of Convective Updrafts, should be able to characterize global convection in a similar manner to a Ku-band system.

Significance Statement
There has been a long history of studying global storms using a Ku-band (2 cm, 13 GHz) spaceborne radar, most likely because of the least number of challenges (e.g., loss of signal) at the Ku band compared to the Ka band (8 mm, 35 GHz) and W band (3 mm, 89 GHz). However, each radar system offers different perspectives on hydrometeor profiles observed in deep convection that have remained largely unexplored, perspectives that provide insights into convective storm systems. Therefore, it is useful to know how storms measured at the Ka band and W band compare to storms measured at the Ku band. We find that many of the Ka-band convective properties can be linearly related to the Ku band, and thus, the Ka-band only mission designs should be suitable for studying convective storms.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: Women’s low economic participation in Pakistan and even lower in the formal sector is a perpetual phenomenon leading to their underdevelopment, which has microeconomic and macroeconomic implications. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the nature of women’s work and the intersection of their non-market and market activities at micro, meso, and macro levels which influences women’s chances and choices of decent economic participation. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the interdependence of women’s market and non-market work to explore how gender intersects with their economic autonomy. METHODS: Using qualitative approach, in-depth interviews of 30 purposely selected respondents from the informal sector were thematically analysed. RESULTS: Results indicated that the interdependence of women’s non-market and market work is the outcome of the gendered dichotomy that creates work-life conflict to create women’s economic dependence and male hegemony. Moreover, although a common phenomenon, women from underprivileged backgrounds are more likely to bear the brunt of systemic deprivation leading to economic underdevelopment. CONCLUSIONS: Pakistan’s inherently masculinised society and economy mutually benefit from women’s unpaid and informal work. Facilitated through gender norms, the patriarchal social ideology and the capitalist economic system collaborate to exploit women and their work in both domains.
Does work experience matter when training teachers to deal with school disengagement?
Authors: Rassameethes Bordin , Phusavat Kongkiti , Pastuszak Zbigniew 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND Traditionally, teachers with less work experience receive more training in non-academic areas such as school disengagement. This circumstance affects a school’s readiness when attempting to create a student-focused environment. Teachers need to have a consistent approach when dealing with disengaged students. OBJECTIVE The study examines the relationship between work experience on the decision relating to in-service training needs to cope with school disengagement. This study focuses on the schools from Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. METHODS The method consists of several steps. The first step is to identify a general set of non-academic training needs. The next step is to distribute the survey to teachers. Finally, statistical analysis is applied to examine the impacts from work experience. RESULTS Based on the surveys completed by 147 teachers who are categorized into four work-experience groups. The findings show that work experience does not affect the decisions regarding training needs. Thus, younger as well as older teachers alike should be provided with similar training programs to deal disengaged students. CONCLUSIONS Work experience should not be used as a criterion when selecting teachers when providing in-service training for non-academic areas. Consistent practice by teachers is needed when creating a student-focused environment.

Authors: Quan Jieru , Khan Muhammad Shahid 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND Ensuring medical quality and safety is the perpetual focus of healthcare management. Hospitals must prioritize quality management for sustainable growth. However, the complexity of quality management in hospitals, coupled with evolving practices, presents challenges. Achieving the integration of economic, environmental, and social benefits for high-quality development remains difficult. While quality management practices are acknowledged as strategic tools, their impact on job satisfaction, competitive advantage, and sustainable performance is not yet fully understood. OBJECTIVE The objective of this research was to empirically demonstrate the relationship between quality management practices, job satisfaction, competitive advantage, and sustainable performance. METHODS The study uses a quantitative research method. A questionnaire survey was conducted in Guangxi, China, among 171 quality management executives in secondary and tertiary hospitals, and the proposed research model was validated using PLS-SEM. RESULTS The results showed that quality management practices have positive direct and indirect effects on sustainable performance, confirming the partial mediating role of job satisfaction, and competitive advantage in the relationship between quality management practices and sustainable performance. CONCLUSIONS This study addresses a gap in quality management literature by exploring the relationship between quality management practices, job satisfaction, competitive advantage, and sustainable performance. Findings reveal that higher implementation of quality management practices correlates with increased job satisfaction, stronger competitive advantage, and enhanced sustainable performance in hospitals. These results suggest that implementing quality management practices can boost job satisfaction, enhance competitive advantage, and promote sustainable performance, offering valuable insights for hospital leaders.
Striking the balance: Exploring the impact of work-life balance on workplace well-being with the mediating influence of job embeddedness
Authors: Nunes Pedro , Rodrigues Rosa 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND The reconciliation of professional and family life has been growing in importance in recent years, and although progress has been made, there is still much to be done. It is crucial to understand the extent to which the individual’s attachment to the organization contributes to identifying the mechanisms related to work-lifebalance (WLB) and workplace well-being.This study highlights the need for a more in-depth and comprehensive investigation into the determinants of workplace well-being and the development of effective strategies to promote it. OBJECTIVE Analyze the mediating role of job embeddedness in the relationship between WLB and workplace well-being. METHODS Quantitative methodology grounded in a hypothetical-deductive perspective. Data was gathered through the use of well-being, job embeddedness, and WLB as measuring elements.The sample included 243 participants employed in the public and private sectors.This is a cross-sectional study in which data were collected through a questionnaire survey administered to a convenience sample. RESULTS Well-being in the workplace is positively influenced by WLB and job embeddedness. With the inclusion of the mediating variable in the model, WLB tends to decrease. The indirect effect of job embeddedness on the relationship between WLB and workplace well-being is significant, indicating the existence of partial mediation. CONCLUSIONS It is important to promote WLB and strengthen the connection between employees and their work roles, because only through this is it possible to promote lasting and sustainable well-being within the context of work as well as a real engagement of workers.

Microfragmented Adipose Tissue Has No Advantage Over Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Marrow Aspirate Injections for Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Hohmann Erik , Keough Natalie , Frank Rachel M. , Rodeo Scott A. 
Published: January 2025

Background: Microfragmented adipose tissue has been proposed for intra-articular treatment of knee osteoarthritis. There are little data comparing the outcomes of treatment between microfragmented adipose tissue and other biological treatments. Purpose: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing microfragmented aspirated fat injections to other orthobiologics, hyaluronic acid, and corticosteroid injections for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify pertinent publications in the MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases, including all level 1 to 3 studies from 2000 to 2023. Validated knee scores (visual analog scale [VAS] for pain, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score [KOOS], Lysholm, International Knee Documentation Committee) were included as outcome measures. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane tools. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system was used to assess the quality of the body of evidence and the modified Coleman Methodology Score was used to assess study quality. Heterogeneity was assessed using χ2 and I2 statistics. Results: Five studies were included in the analysis. One study had a high risk of bias; 4 studies had some risk of bias. The overall study quality was fair, and the certainty of evidence was low. The pooled estimate for VAS scores did not demonstrate significant differences at 3, 6, and 12 months. The pooled estimate for the KOOS Pain, Symptoms, Activities of Daily Living, Sport and Recreation, and Quality of Life subscales did not demonstrate significant differences at 3, 6, and 12 months. Conclusion: The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that there were no statistically significant differences for both the clinical outcomes and pain scores between microfragmented adipose tissue and other orthobiologics for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. However, modest study quality, some risk of bias, and low certainty of evidence reduce external validity, and these results must be viewed with some caution.
