Pigeonholing or learning instrument?
Authors: Lundgren Henriette , Kroon Brigitte , Poell Rob F. 
Published: January 2019

Purpose
While factors that influence test takers’ reactions to personality testing in selection contexts have been well researched, little empirical research evidence exists to determine whether these factors also apply to test takers’ reactions in the context of management development (MD). The purpose of this study is, therefore, to explore what explains different test takers’ reactions in the context of MD programs.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative longitudinal approach with three phases of data collection was used, resulting in participatory workshop observations and 11 semi-structured interviews with participants from two different contexts. Data were analyzed using Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA).

Findings
The findings show that test takers’ reactions vary; some are more accepting, others are more neutral or rejecting, where perceived usefulness, clarity of purpose and perceived respectfulness are identified as distinguishing factors. Individuals also differ in terms of their awareness of assumptions and their perceived emotional safety, two emerging factors that are relevant in the MD context.

Research limitations/implications
Data were collected during the MD workshops and three months after, but no records of immediate test takers’ reactions were included, which could be an addition for future research.

Practical implications
The findings of this study suggest that human resource development (HRD) professionals have significant impact on test takers’ reactions when it comes to encouraging self-reflection and learning along personality tests.

Originality/value
This study adds to existing research by offering insights into factors in MD settings where participants are concerned about aspects of fairness, learning and behavioral change.

Published: January 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between game items and mood management to show the affective value of game items. Specifically, the study examines the impact of interaction between two negative mood states (stress vs boredom) and types of game items (functional vs decorative) on the purchasing intention of game items.Design/methodology/approachTwo experiments were conducted to predict the outcomes of using game items.FindingsGame users effectively manage their level of arousal and mood valence using game items. The selective exposure theory provides additional understanding of different purchasing behaviors, suggesting that stressed users are more likely to purchase decorative items while bored users purchase functional items to manage their mood.Research limitations/implicationsThe study results show the affective role of game items in mood management. While previous studies focused on the cognitive and functional aspects of purchasing game items, this study extends the value of game items as augmented products.Practical implicationsWhen launching new games, companies should provide game users free game items for mood management. In addition, to increase intervention potential and behavioral affinity, marketers need to develop and launch more game item types.Originality/valueThis study extends the understanding of affective value of game items by applying mood management and selective exposure theories to explain the purchase intention of game items.

SummaryAnoxygenic phototrophic sulfide oxidation by green and purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) plays a key role in sulfide removal from anoxic shallow sediments and stratified waters. Although some PSB can also oxidize sulfide with nitrate and oxygen, little is known about the prevalence of this chemolithotrophic lifestyle in the environment. In this study, we investigated the role of these phototrophs in light‐independent sulfide removal in the chemocline of Lake Cadagno. Our temporally resolved, high‐resolution chemical profiles indicated that dark sulfide oxidation was coupled to high oxygen consumption rates of ~9 μM O2·h−1. Single‐cell analyses of lake water incubated with 13CO2 in the dark revealed that Chromatium okenii was to a large extent responsible for aerobic sulfide oxidation and it accounted for up to 40% of total dark carbon fixation. The genome of Chr. okenii reconstructed from the Lake Cadagno metagenome confirms its capacity for microaerophilic growth and provides further insights into its metabolic capabilities. Moreover, our genomic and single‐cell data indicated that other PSB grow microaerobically in these apparently anoxic waters. Altogether, our observations suggest that aerobic respiration may not only play an underappreciated role in anoxic environments but also that organisms typically considered strict anaerobes may be involved.

Published: January 2019

SummaryThe cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii is of environmental and social concern in view of its toxicity, bloom‐forming characteristics and increasingly widespread occurrence. However, while availability of macronutrients and micronutrients such as N and Fe are critically important for the growth and metabolism of this organism, the physiological response of toxic and non‐toxic strains of R. raciborskii to varying Fe and N availabilities remains unclear. By determining physiological parameters as a function of Fe and N availability, we demonstrate that R. raciborskii growth and N2‐fixing activity are facilitated at higher Fe availability under N2‐limited conditions with faster growth of the CS‐506 (cylindrospermopsin‐producing) strain compared with that of CS‐509 (the non‐toxic) strain. Radiolabelled Fe uptake assays indicated that R. raciborskii acclimated under Fe‐limited conditions acquires Fe at significantly higher rates than under Fe replete conditions, principally via unchelated Fe(II) generated as a result of photoreduction of complexed Fe(III). While N2‐fixation of both strains occurred during both day and night, the CS‐506 strain overall exhibited higher N2‐fixing and Fe uptake rates than the CS‐509 strain under N‐deficient and Fe‐limited conditions. The findings of this study highlight that Fe availability is of significance for the ecological advantage of CS‐506 over CS‐509 in N‐deficient freshwaters.

Published: January 2019

AbstractRisk management has taken considerable importance in the supply chain. Much research has been focused on this area to improve quality and competitiveness within organisations. This paper is focused on the identification, analysis, and evaluation of risks associated to materials/purchasing departments through the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). This integrated analysis led to prioritise the potential risks that generate downtime and financially impact of the supply chain. Having a unique supply source was identified as the main risk, and restriction on the contract's length was determined to be a suitable solving approach. The identified risks should also be quantified considering the negative effects on cost, time, and quality‐functionality to provide immediate or long‐term solutions.
Improving emergency department trauma care in Fiji: Implementing and assessing the trauma call system
Authors: Raj Lavinesh Kumar , Creaton Anne , Phillips Georgina 
Published: January 2019

AbstractObjectiveThe trauma team process was recently implemented at the Colonial War Memorial (CWM) Hospital, Suva. This study audits the trauma call procedure at the hospital over a period of 12 months.MethodRetrospective descriptive study of trauma calls from August 2015 to July 2016 at CWM Hospital. Data relating to patient demographics, time of presentation, time to team assembly and time to computed tomography (CT) scan were extracted from the ED trauma call database. Disposition from the ED and status at hospital discharge was extracted from the hospital patient information system.ResultsThere were 38 trauma calls for 46 patients. Seventy‐two per cent were male. Eighty‐two per cent occurred when the CT radiographer was off site (16.00–08.00 h), including 47% that occurred between midnight and 08.00 h. Fifty‐two per cent of patients were intubated, 43% went to ICU, 26% went directly to the operating theatre, and 37% died. Benchmarks for time to trauma team assembly and time to CT scan were met in 50% of cases.ConclusionThis was a severely injured cohort of patients with a high mortality rate. The rate of missed calls was not assessed in this study. Time to CT scan could be improved with an onsite radiographer. Time to team assembly could be improved with trauma team training and early notification from pre‐hospital providers. There is a need to continue to monitor and refine the trauma call process and to extend data capture to measure injury severity and outcomes.

Published: January 2019

AbstractObjectiveThe completeness of ED medical record documentation is often suboptimal. We aimed to determine the variables associated with documentation completeness in a large, tertiary referral ED.MethodsWe audited 1200 randomly selected medical records of patients who presented with either abdominal pain, cardiac chest pain, shortness of breath or headache between May–July 2013 and May–July 2016. Data were collected on patient and treating doctor variables. Documentation completeness was assessed using a 0–10 point scoring tool designed for the study. A maximum score was achieved if each of 10 pre‐determined important items, specific to the presenting complaint, were documented (five medical history items, five physical examination items). Data were analysed using multivariate regression.ResultsThe presenting year, day and time, patient age and gender, preferred language, interpreter requirement, discharge destination and doctor gender were not associated with documentation completeness (P > 0.05). Patients with triage category 3 or pain score of 6–7 had higher documentation scores (P < 0.05). Compared to interns, registrars (effect size −0.72, 95% CI −1.02 to −0.42, P < 0.01) and consultants (−1.62, 95% CI −1.95 to −1.29, P < 0.01) scored significantly less. The headache patient subgroup scored significantly less than the other patient subgroups (−0.35, 95% CI −0.63 to −0.08, P = 0.01). For all presenting complaint subgroups, examination findings were less well documented than history items (P < 0.001).ConclusionDocumentation completeness is less among senior doctors, headache patients and for examination findings. Research should determine if the supervision responsibilities of senior doctors affects documentation and if medico‐legal and patient care implications exist.
Learning strategies and the social brain: Missing elements in the link between developmental stress, song and cognition?
Authors: KRIENGWATANA Buddhamas Pralle 
Published: January 2019

AbstractBird songs may advertise aspects of cognition because song learning and learning speed in cognitive tasks are both affected by early‐life environments. However, such relationships remain ambiguous in the literature. Here, I discuss 2 lines of research that may help to demystify links between song learning and cognition. First, learning strategies should be considered when assessing performance to ensure that individual differences in learning ability are not masked by individual differences in learning strategies. Second, song characteristics should be associated with social behavior because songs have a social purpose and, consequently, should be strongly related at functional and neural levels. Finally, if song learning and cognitive abilities are correlated because they develop concurrently and/or share or compete for the same resources, I discuss ways glucocorticoids may link early‐life stress, song learning and cognitive ability, focusing particularly on oxidative stress as a potential mechanism.
The Many Meanings of Quality Education: Politics of Targets and Indicators in SDG4
Authors: Unterhalter Elaine 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThe formulation of the SDG education targets was more inclusive than the processes linked with the MDGs. Key constituencies making representations through the Open Working Group and other consultative processes succeeded in formulating targets that stressed inclusion, quality and equality in all phases of education. However, the development of the global indicators for SDG4, has resulted in metrics that miss many of the values of the targets, most notably with regard to quality and free education and substantive, not simply distributive, meanings of equality. The article analyses why some of these slippages took place, and what potential there may be to mobilise for metrics that better depict the key tenets of the education goal and targets. The analysis thus considers ways forward for exploring measurement of the many meanings of quality and equalities in education, reflecting on numbers as instruments that impose power and hierarchy, and the possibility of using reflections on numbers and indicators for critical dialogue and an enhancement of participation, accountability, and work to change injustices in education.
The Contested Discourse of Sustainable Agriculture,
Authors: McNeill Desmond 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThe article critically analyses how the transformative ambition of the SDGs may be threatened in the process of moving from vision, through goals and targets to indicators. This is exemplified by a case study concerning sustainable agriculture, and most specifically indicator 2.4.1, where two contrasting approaches – industrial agriculture and agro‐ecology – stand in opposition, each with its associated discourse and interests. The process is analysed in great detail, noting the complex interplay of political and technical considerations. FAO has played a central role in establishing a compromise with regard to the wording of indicator 2.4.1 which papers over the disagreements and does not explicitly promote either of the two competing approaches. And the organisation has facilitated a technical process which, instead of one simple indicator, has led to a composite, multidimensional version with nine sub‐indicators, as a result of which it has been relegated to ‘Tier III’ status, implying that it will not be used for global monitoring purposes. The article concludes that – owing to a combination of political and technical factors – the transformative potential of the SDGs may, in this instance, be lost.
Political Thriller Exposes the Underbelly of Global Goals
Authors: Burke Sara , Rürup Bettina Luise 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThis commentary characterizes the SDG indicator framework as a ‘political thriller’ in which the power struggles are hidden behind the veil of technocratic expertise. Like a Trojan horse, each indicator conceals the theories of change and development that lie within, exerting their interpretive influence. Where the politics will ultimately lead to by 2030 – in shaping policy priorities, power structures, and knowledge about development – is for now unknown and unpredictable.

AbstractTo follow‐up on our previous report that acarbose (ACA), a drug that blocks postprandial glucose spikes, increases mouse lifespan, we studied ACA at three doses: 400, 1,000 (the original dose), and 2,500 ppm, using genetically heterogeneous mice at three sites. Each dose led to a significant change (by log‐rank test) in both sexes, with larger effects in males, consistent with the original report. There were no significant differences among the three doses. The two higher doses produced 16% or 17% increases in median longevity of males, but only 4% or 5% increases in females. Age at the 90th percentile was increased significantly (8%–11%) in males at each dose, but was significantly increased (3%) in females only at 1,000 ppm. The sex effect on longevity is not explained simply by weight or fat mass, which were reduced by ACA more in females than in males. ACA at 1,000 ppm reduced lung tumors in males, diminished liver degeneration in both sexes and glomerulosclerosis in females, reduced blood glucose responses to refeeding in males, and improved rotarod performance in aging females, but not males. Three other interventions were also tested: ursolic acid, 2‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBX), and INT‐767; none of these affected lifespan at the doses tested. The acarbose results confirm and extend our original report, prompt further attention to the effects of transient periods of high blood glucose on aging and the diseases of aging, including cancer, and should motivate studies of acarbose and other glucose‐control drugs in humans.

Published: January 2019

SummaryWe evaluated the LMA® ProtectorTM in 280 ASA physical status 1–3 patients aged 18–75 years by assessing the ease of insertion, insertion time, oropharyngeal leak pressure, ease of gastric tube passage and complications. First‐attempt and overall insertion success was 234/280 (84; 95%CI 79–88%) and 274/280 (98; 95–99%). Median (IQR [range]) insertion time was 17 (12–25 [5–44]) s, and manoeuvres to facilitate insertion were required in 56 (50–63)% of patients. Median oropharyngeal leak pressure was 31 (26–36 [14–40]) cmH2O. Multivariate analysis identified two risk factors for oropharyngeal leak pressure < 25 cmH2O: male sex (OR 2.44; 1.01–5.91, p = 0.048) and the insertion of a LMA size different to that recommended by weight (OR 1.98; 0.97–4.03, p = 0.06). Gastric tube insertion was possible in 256 out of 274 patients (93%). On fibreoptic view, vocal cords were visible in 86% of patients. During maintenance, 14 patients (5%) required airway manipulation. There were no episodes of regurgitation or aspiration. Blood staining on LMA removal was present in 70 out of 280 patients (25%). Use of the LMA Protector appears safe and is associated with a high success rate, provision of a highly effective seal and low rates of clinical complications. These attributes would suggest considerable potential for use during anaesthesia.

AbstractBackgroundCurrent noninvasive risk stratification methods offer limited prediction of arrhythmic events when selecting patients for ICD implantation. Our laboratory has recently developed a signal processing metric called Layered Symbolic Decomposition frequency (LSDf) that quantifies the percentage of hidden QRS wave frequency components in signal‐averaged ECG (SAECG) recordings. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine whether LSDf can be predictive of ventricular arrhythmia or death in an ICD patient cohort.Methods and ResultsFifty‐two ICD patients were recruited from 2008 to 2009. These were followed for a mean of 8.5 ± 0.4 years for the primary outcome of first appropriately treated ventricular arrhythmia (VT/VF) or death. Thirty‐four subjects met the primary outcome. LSDf was significantly lower, and 12‐lead QRS duration was significantly greater in patients meeting the primary outcome (12.14 ± 3.97% vs. 16.45 ± 3.73%; p = 0.001) and (111.59 ± 14.96 ms vs. 97.69 ± 13.51 ms; p = 0.012) respectively. A 13.25% LSDf threshold (0.74 sensitivity and 0.85 specificity) was selected based on an ROC curve. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was conducted; patients above the 13.25% threshold demonstrated significantly better survival outcomes (log‐rank p < 0.001). In Cox multivariate regression analysis, the LSDf threshold (13.25%) was compared to LVEF (28.5%), 12‐lead QRSd (100 ms), age, % male sex, NYHA classification, and antiarrhythmic usage. LSDf was a predictor of the primary outcome (p = 0.005) and an independent predictor for solely ventricular arrhythmia (p = 0.002).ConclusionLayered Symbolic Decomposition frequency analysis in SAECG recordings may be a viable predictor of negative ICD survival outcomes.

Solving the paradox – (further) evidence for a quadratic relationship between in‐group centrality and group‐based guilt
Authors: Masson Torsten , Barth Markus 
Published: January 2019

Previous research on the relationship between strength of in‐group identification and collective guilt about an in‐group's wrongdoing is mixed, providing evidence for both a negative and a positive relationship. One possible way to reconcile these findings is to explore non‐linear (quadratic) functions. Correlational data (Study 1) and experimental data (Study 2) from two questionnaire studies (Ntotal = 311) were in line with a quadratic relationship between self‐centrality of the in‐group and collective guilt (inverted U‐shaped function). Collective guilt about a group's transgression was highest at medium levels of in‐group centrality and lower for low and high levels of centrality, respectively. Additionally, defensive in‐group beliefs (i.e., beliefs restoring a positive in‐group image) were also associated non‐linearly with in‐group centrality (cubic relation relationship). Our findings call for a more detailed look on possible non‐linear relationships between in‐group identification and collective guilt or in‐group defensiveness.
