The contingent impacts of market and nonmarket ties on the exchange relationship formation
Authors: Lee Khan-Pyo , Choi Seong-Jin 
Published: November 2015

Purpose– This paper aims to present inter-firm networks in China by examining the impacts of previous market ties, nonmarket ties, and more importantly their interaction on the formation of exchange relationships.Design/methodology/approach– The authors test their hypotheses using inter-firm exchange relationships between 19 automakers and 312 suppliers in China. The authors conducted empirical tests with multilevel logit model.Findings– The authors find that both previous nonmarket ties and market ties have positive impacts on the formation of the next exchange relationships, while market ties and nonmarket ties are substitutes in the exchange relationships formation.Originality/value– This paper provides unique theoretical framework on how firms in emerging markets promote the knowledge exchange with help of market and nonmarket ties. Especially, our findings on the substitute effects between networks have important practical implications to understand the historical development of exchange relationship in transition economies, such as in China.

Authors: Hung Ying-Cheng , Tsai Tsung-Ying , Wu Yu-Fen 
Published: November 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between overall ethical work climate (EWC) and overall organizational commitment (OC) and test the effects of types of EWC on three components of OC in Taiwanese military context.Design/methodology/approach– A literature review on EWC and OC provides the basis for the research model and hypotheses. A self-completion questionnaire survey, involving 508 respondents (92.36 per cent response rate) from military officers in Taiwan included both full-time training officers of the National Defense University and officers of Department of Defense. The authors use statistical analysis, including hierarchical regression and structural equation model to test hypotheses about the relationships above.Findings– The results indicated that overall EWC and some climate types significantly positively or negatively influenced overall OC, affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment.Practical implications– The findings can provide helpful perspectives on management and organizations of benefit to scholars and policy-makers to make ethical policy in military organizations. In addition, suggesting for military leaders to foster some types of ethical climates to prevent low OC.Originality/value– Theoretically, the paper serves as a pioneer research for testing the concept of influence of EWC on OC and shows the effects of types of EWC on three components of OC in military context. Practically, the results and recommendations in the paper will be useful to those involved in the field of management in Taiwan military organizations.
Domains and opportunities in knowledge and aerospace management in China
Authors: Wu Weiwei , Yu Bo , Spender John- Christopher 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
– This paper aims to introduce and explore the creation, transfer, diffusion and application of knowledge in the Chinese context and the Chinese aerospace management modes, methodologies and mechanism, etc., based on the successful managerial experience of China’s aerospace. The paper then illustrates the current research domains and the future research opportunities in knowledge and aerospace management in China.

Design/methodology/approach
– Review and reflection.

Findings
– The Chinese knowledge management theory has achieved great development, the focus of which covers the whole chain from knowledge creation, knowledge transfer, knowledge sharing to knowledge application. However, Chinese aerospace management studies seem not so systematic, although some successful managerial practices and theories are being introduced. There is an opportunity to construct the Chinese aerospace management theory due to its features with general implications to high technology industries in China. Especially, integrating knowledge and aerospace, or studying aerospace from the perspective of knowledge, is a promising way of formulating a logic for deciphering China’s aerospace. It is also anticipated that qualitative methodology and Chinese traditional philosophy will be more popular in Chinese management studies.

Originality/value
– This paper, by introducing some new research in knowledge management and aerospace management in China, outlines the current situations of Chinese knowledge and aerospace management research and sheds lights on the future research in aspects of research topics, research methodologies and Chinese traditional philosophy. For the first time, this paper provides the basic logic of Chinese knowledge management research and integrates Chinese aerospace management studies to reveal to the world the uniqueness and facts of China’s aerospace industry.
Commissioning for better outcomes in mental health care: testing Alliance Contracting as an enabling framework
Authors: Clark Michael , Ryan Tony , Dixon Nick 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
– Commissioning has been a central plank of health and social care policy in England for many years now, yet there are still debates about how effective it is in delivering improvements in care and outcomes. Social inclusion of people with experience of mental health is one of the goals that commissioners would like to help services to improve but such a complex outcome for people can often be undermined by contractual arrangements that fragment service responses rather than deliver holistic support. The purpose of this paper is to discuss a form of commissioning, Alliance Contracting, and how it has been allied with a Social Inclusion Outcomes Framework (SIOF) in Stockport to begin to improve services and outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach
– The paper is a conceptual discussion and case description of the use of Alliance Contracts to improve recovery services and social inclusion in mental health care in one locality.

Findings
– The paper finds that the Alliance Contracting approach fits well with the SIOF and is beginning to deliver some promising results in terms of improving services.

Research limitations/implications
– This is a case study of one area and, as such, it is hard to generalise beyond that.

Practical implications
– The paper discusses a promising approach for commissioners to develop locally to guide service improvements and better social inclusion outcomes for people.

Social implications
– Rather than developing good services but fractured pathways of care across providers and teams, the Alliance Contracting approach potentially delivers more holistic and flexible pathways that ought to better help individuals in their recovery journeys.

Originality/value
– This is the first paper to set out the use of Alliance Contracting and social inclusion measures to help improve services and outcomes for people experiencing mental health problems.
Campus solidarity campaign: respect and support for students with mental illness
Authors: Kosyluk Kristin , Schmidt Annie , Abelson Sara , Malmon Alison , Corrigan Patrick 
Published: November 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to describe the evaluation of a set of potential logos for a campaign aimed at promoting an environment of solidarity and support on college campuses for students with mental illness.Design/methodology/approach– Participants completed an online survey responding to statements about college students and mental illness by selecting the logo they thought best represented each statement.Findings– One-sampleχ2 tests were conducted to assess difference in frequency of brand endorsement by statement.Research limitations/implications– Through use of the scientific method to evaluate three potential logos designed to represent this campaign, it is more likely that the campaign will have its intended impact, and avoid potential deleterious effects. Limitations of the study include the representativeness of the sample, and the fact that endorsement of statements may not translate to behavior, the ultimate outcome of interest. Future studies should include population research strategies.Practical implications– A campaign such as the one described here, with a scientifically selected brand, may have a greater effect on stigma surrounding mental illness, a significant public health concern.Originality/value– This is the first study of its kind to scientifically evaluate the brand for an anti-stigma program. The findings of this study would be of value to advocates, college and university administrators, staff, and educators, and college student with mental illness seeking to promote supportive environments on college and university campuses for students with mental illness.

Authors: Watson Emma 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to provide an insight into the day-to-day challenges and experiences of a peer support worker.

Design/methodology/approach
– A reflective account of the experience of a first meeting with a peer, offering support through a series of difficult situations.

Findings
– Reflections are offered on the importance of relationships and overcoming feelings of disillusionment with mental health services.

Originality/value
– This paper adds to the small number of accounts of the experiences of Peer Support Working in mental health services and as such is highly original.
Recovery colleges: quality and outcomes
Authors: Meddings Sara , McGregor Jane , Roeg Waldo , Shepherd Geoff 
Published: November 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to review the available evidence regarding the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of Recovery Colleges. To make suggestions for future research.Design/methodology/approach– Selective review of relevant published studies, including reports in the “grey” literature.Findings– Despite methodological limitations, it has been consistently found that attendance at Recovery Colleges is perceived to be useful and to help people progress towards their recovery goals. There is some evidence of reductions in service use (and therefore costs). In addition, there is evidence of beneficial effects for peer trainers and possible positive impact on staff attitudes.Research limitations/implications– The existing research highlights the need for further robust studies, using both qualitative and quantitative methods, to understand better the overall impact of Recovery Colleges and the underlying mechanisms of change.Practical implications– There is a need for further studies of the relationship between the “key defining features” and outcomes. This means the collection and pooling of systematic, “practice-based” evidence.Social implications– The introduction of an explicitly recovery educational (“learning”) model into mainstream mental health services seems to have a profound effect on reducing the power differences inherent in traditional professional/patient relationships. If this can be replicated across organisations it could facilitate the kind of fundamental cultural change necessary to give back recovery to the people who have always owned it.Originality/value– The information collected together in this paper is already publicly available, however it is difficult to find. The analysis and interpretation is original.
Using demographic attributes from long‐term monitoring data to delineate natural population structure
Authors: Rushing Clark S. , Ryder Thomas B. , Scarpignato Amy L. , Saracco James F. , Marra Peter P. 
Published: November 2015

Summary

The concept of ‘natural’ populations is a foundation of modern ecology and conservation, with a large body of theoretical literature using these discrete demographic units to understand population dynamics and prioritize conservation strategies. To date, there are currently no objective methods for empirically delineating large‐scale population boundaries using demographic data.

We present a novel approach for using large‐scale, citizen‐science monitoring data to quantify geographic structure in trend and abundance and identify distinct natural populations. We demonstrate this approach by delineating populations of eight passerine species using data collected as part of the North American Breeding Bird Survey.

Our approach was able to identify geographic structure in both trend and abundance and to delineate distinct populations for all eight species. An independent validation of three species indicated this demographic variation was reflected in underlying vital rates.

Synthesis and applications. Natural populations are biologically based alternatives to the traditional geographically defined units that can improve the ability of researchers and managers to quantify spatial variation in population dynamics. Our analysis of natural population structure in breeding songbirds demonstrates that species can show substantial geographic variation in population attributes and underlying demography. We recommend managers define spatial units using natural populations when setting regional population objectives for both single and multispecies conservation plans.
How Financial and Reputational Incentives Can Be Used to Improve Medical Care
Authors: Roland Martin , Dudley R. Adams 
Published: November 2015

ObjectivesNarrative review of the impact of pay‐for‐performance (P4P) and public reporting (PR) on health care outcomes, including spillover effects and impact on disparities.Principal FindingsThe impact of P4P and PR is dependent on the underlying payment system (fee‐for‐service, salary, capitation) into which these schemes are introduced. Both have the potential to improve care, but they can also have substantial unintended consequences. Evidence from the behavioral economics literature suggests that individual physicians will vary in how they respond to incentives. We also discuss issues to be considered when including patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) or patient‐reported experience measures into P4P and PR schemes.ConclusionWe provide guidance to payers and policy makers on the design of P4P and PR programs so as to maximize their benefits and minimize their unintended consequences. These include involving clinicians in the design of the program, taking into account the payment system into which new incentives are introduced, designing the structure of reward programs to maximize the likelihood of intended outcomes and minimize the likelihood of unintended consequences, designing schemes that minimize the risk of increasing disparities, providing stability of incentives over some years, and including outcomes that are relevant to patients' priorities. In addition, because of the limitations of PR and P4P as effective interventions in their own right, it is important that they are combined with other policies and interventions intended to improve quality to maximize their likely impact.
Soil moisture‐based drought monitoring at different time scales: a case study for the U.S. Great Plains
Authors: Engda T.A. , Kelleners T.J. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractShort‐term agricultural drought and longer term hydrological drought have important ecological and socioeconomic impacts. Soil moisture monitoring networks have potential to assist in the quantification of drought conditions because soil moisture changes are mostly due to precipitation and evapotranspiration, the two dominant water balance components in most areas. In this study, the Palmer approach to calculating a drought index was combined with a soil water content‐based moisture anomaly calculation. A drought lag time parameter was introduced to quantify the time between the start of a moisture anomaly and the onset of drought. The methodology was applied to four shortgrass prairie sites along a North‐South transect in the U.S. Great Plains with an 18‐year soil moisture record. Short time lags led to high periodicity of the resulting drought index, appropriate for assessing short‐term drought conditions at the field scale (agricultural drought). Conversely, long time lags led to low periodicity of the drought index, being more indicative of long‐term drought conditions at the watershed or basin scale (hydrological drought). The influence of daily, weekly, and monthly time steps on the drought index was examined and found to be marginal. The drought index calculated with a short drought lag time showed evidence of being normally distributed. A longer data record is needed to assess the statistical distribution of the drought index for longer drought lag times.

AbstractAdministrative data are critical to describing patterns of use, cost, and appropriateness of imaging in emergency care. These data encompass a range of source materials that have been collected primarily for a nonresearch use: documenting clinical care (e.g., medical records), administering care (e.g., picture archiving and communication systems), or financial transactions (e.g., insurance claims). These data have served as the foundation for large, descriptive studies that have documented the rise and expanded role of diagnostic imaging in the emergency department (ED). This article summarizes the discussions of the breakout session on the use of administrative data for emergency imaging research at the May 2015 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference, “Diagnostic Imaging in the Emergency Department: A Research Agenda to Optimize Utilization.” The authors describe the areas where administrative data have been applied to research evaluating the use of diagnostic imaging in the ED, the common sources for these data, and the strengths and limitations of administrative data. Next, the future role of administrative data is examined for answering key research questions in an evolving health system increasingly focused on measuring appropriateness, ensuring quality, and improving value for health spending. This article specifically focuses on four thematic areas: data quality, appropriateness and value, special populations, and policy interventions.

AbstractDiagnostic imaging is integral to the evaluation of many emergency department (ED) patients. However, relatively little effort has been devoted to patient‐centered outcomes research (PCOR) in emergency diagnostic imaging. This article provides background on this topic and the conclusions of the 2015 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference PCOR work group regarding “Diagnostic Imaging in the Emergency Department: A Research Agenda to Optimize Utilization.” The goal was to determine a prioritized research agenda to establish which outcomes related to emergency diagnostic imaging are most important to patients, caregivers, and other key stakeholders and which methods will most optimally engage patients in the decision to undergo imaging. Case vignettes are used to emphasize these concepts as they relate to a patient's decision to seek care at an ED and the care received there. The authors discuss applicable research methods and approaches such as shared decision‐making that could facilitate better integration of patient‐centered outcomes and patient‐reported outcomes into decisions regarding emergency diagnostic imaging. Finally, based on a modified Delphi process involving members of the PCOR work group, prioritized research questions are proposed to advance the science of patient‐centered outcomes in ED diagnostic imaging.

AbstractThe appropriate selection and accurate interpretation of diagnostic imaging is a crucial skill for emergency practitioners. To date, the majority of the published literature and research on competency assessment comes from the subspecialty of point‐of‐care ultrasound. A group of radiologists, physicists, and emergency physicians convened at the 2015 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference to discuss and prioritize a research agenda related to education, assessment, and competency in ordering and interpreting diagnostic imaging. A set of questions for the continued development of an educational curriculum on diagnostic imaging for trainees and competency assessment using specific assessment methods based on current best practices was delineated. The research priorities were developed through an iterative consensus‐driven process using a modified nominal group technique that culminated in an in‐person breakout session. The four recommendations are: 1) develop a diagnostic imaging curriculum for emergency medicine (EM) residency training; 2) develop, study, and validate tools to assess competency in diagnostic imaging interpretation; 3) evaluate the role of simulation in education, assessment, and competency measures for diagnostic imaging; 4) study is needed regarding the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria, an evidence‐based peer‐reviewed resource in determining the use of diagnostic imaging, to maximize its value in EM. In this article, the authors review the supporting reliability and validity evidence and make specific recommendations for future research on the education, competency, and assessment of learning diagnostic imaging.

Published: November 2015

AbstractBackgroundThe aim of this randomized controlled study was to evaluate the clinical performance of a highly filled flowable composite compared to a conventional paste‐type composite in direct posterior restorations after 36 months.MethodsA total of 58 mid‐size to extensive posterior composite restorations were randomly placed in 32 patients, mean age of 43.9 years (range 25–76), using either a conventional composite Estelite Sigma Quick (Conventional) or a highly filled flowable composite G‐aenial Universal Flo with a two‐step self‐etch adhesive. The restorations were evaluated after placement (baseline) and at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months according to the FDI criteria.ResultsAt the 36‐month follow‐up, 42 restorations were evaluated in 21 patients. After 36 months, the difference between highly filled flowable and conventional restorations was not statistically significant with respect to all evaluation parameters (p < 0.05). No secondary caries was observed.ConclusionsThe highly filled flowable composite showed a comparable clinical effectiveness as the conventional paste composite in posterior restorations over 36 months.
