The experimental research on well-being since 2004
Authors: Caan Woody 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the claim by the Chief Medical Officer for England that “There is virtually no robust, peer-reviewed evidence to support a ‘well-being’ approach to mental health”.

Design/methodology/approach
– Secondary research using research literature from two widely available databases, Scopus and Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts. Randomised controlled trials were sought that focused on “well-being” (including well-being or wellness), from 2004 to the present.

Findings
– With both clinical samples and non-clinical populations, a variety of experimental trials were found. Studies were identified with both positive benefits and no benefits from intervention. The most numerous type of paper reported positive benefits for clinical patients.

Research limitations/implications
– Only a single reader classified the studies in this investigation, so the inter-rater reliability may be limited. Only two databases were searched. However, future work (such as that in progress by the What Works Centre for Wellbeing) may find an abundance of evidence on mental well-being.

Practical implications
– In many settings, well-being can improve after intervention.

Social implications
– What is measured as “well-being” may need to take into account the perspective of the specific population being studied.

Originality/value
– This small-scale study was undertaken to inform policy in the new Public Mental Health Network.
Coproduction: a personal journey
Authors: Fairlie Susan 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to offer some personal reflections and experience of using coproduction in the NHS. The purpose is to demystify coproduction and it is hoped that sharing personal experience will encourage others who may be contemplating using this approach in their quality improvement work.

Design/methodology/approach
– Informed by underpinning literature, the approach is a combination of sharing case studies that span several decades at both the macro and micro level. Whilst several of the examples used are not mental health specific, they are equally applicable in this setting.

Findings
– Coproduction principles can be used at all levels of the health and care system and are generally empowering for those involved. By soliciting insights from those who would not normally have a voice, it can help to overcome blind spots and produce better products and services. There is a correlation between staff engagement and patient outcomes which provides compelling evidence for coproduction approaches to be incorporated into organisational practice. Furthermore, patients and service users should no longer be considered as passive recipients of care but as an integral component of quality improvement processes.

Originality/value
– The case studies offer examples of using coproduction at a national, organisational and individual level. In particular, the lessons learned from design science such as “thinking like an anthropologist” are shared. The distinction is made between patient satisfaction and patient experience and the impact that coproduction can have on organisational culture is discussed. By mobilising resources, knowledge and expertise across communities, coproduction capitalises on the “wisdom of the crowds” philosophy.
Effect of different fiber sources and tert-butylhydroquinone on the quality characteristics of chicken harrisa, a meat based product
Authors: Kumar Lokesh , Bhat Z. F. , Kumar Sunil 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
– This paper aims to evaluate the effect of different fiber sources and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) on the quality characteristics of chicken harrisa.

Design/methodology/approach
– An attempt was made to develop fiber-enriched chicken harrisa, a meat-based product, by incorporating optimum level of different fiber sources, viz., oat bran (10 per cent) or wheat bran (10 per cent) or barley bran (5 per cent). The products developed with optimized level of fiber were further treated with TBHQ (200 ppm) and were aerobically packaged in low-density polyethylene pouches along with control and assessed for various storage quality parameters under refrigerated (4 ± 1°C) conditions. The products were evaluated for various physicochemical, microbiological and sensory parameters at regular intervals of 0, 7, 14 and 21 days.

Findings
– A significant (p
<
0.05) increase was observed in the fiber content of the products prepared with oat bran (10 per cent) or wheat bran (10 per cent) or barley bran (5 per cent). TBHQ showed a significant (p
<
0.05) effect on the lipid oxidative stability, as the treated products exhibited significantly (p
<
0.05) lower thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (mg malonaldehyde/kg) values for the entire period of storage. No significant (p
>
0.05) effect was observed on the microbiological characteristics of the products. Sensory parameters showed significant (p
<
0.05) decreasing trend for control as well as TBHQ-treated products throughout the period of storage; however, significantly (p
<
0.05) higher scores were observed for treated products in comparison to control.

Originality/value
– Fiber-enriched chicken harrisa was developed by incorporating oat bran (10 per cent) or wheat bran (10 per cent) or barley bran (5 per cent) in the formulation. TBHQ successfully improved the lipid oxidative stability and storage quality of fiber-enriched chicken harrisa during refrigerated (4 ± 1°C) storage and may be commercially exploited to improve the storage quality of the product.
Dietary intake and meal frequency of Brazilian girls attending a school-based randomized controlled trial
Authors: Philippi Sonia Tucunduva , Barco Leme Ana Carolina 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
– This paper aims to evaluate the effects of a school-based obesity prevention program targeting Brazilian adolescent girls on dietary intake and meal frequency.

Design/methodology/approach
– It was a six-month school-based group randomized controlled trial with female adolescents. The intervention was based on the Social Cognitive Theory and focused on ten nutrition and physical activity key messages. Diet intake was measured using a validated food frequency questionnaire, and the food items were aggregate into the eight food groups of the Brazilian Food Guide Pyramid. The meals frequency assessed were breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack-in-between-meals, the frequency ranged from never to everyday. Linear mixed models were used to examine the dietary effects and chi-squared test to identify proportional differences among groups in meal frequency. All analyses followed intention-to-treat principles and alpha levels of p ≤ 0.05 were set.

Findings
– After six months from baseline, changes in the fruits (mean [SE] 12.48 kcal [7.86], p = 0.005), vegetables (8.80 kcal [7.11], p = 0.006) and sugar (−55.98 kcal [50.70], p = 0.036) groups were demonstrated. Proportional difference was shown for snack-in-between-meals (p = 0.001), and the frequency most cited was for “five to six days” per week.

Originality/value
– The “Healthy Habits, Healthy Girls-Brazil” showed promise in the adolescents’ dietary intake and could be used as framework for future interventions. Also, the methods used for dietary intake can be enhanced and implemented for future studies.
Citations in introduction and literature review sections should not count for quality
Authors: Adedayo Adeleke Victor 
Published: November 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to suggest that citations made in the introduction and literature review sections of academic writings should not count in the analysis of citations to measure the quality of research papers.

Design/methodology/approach
– Elucidatory expositions are made on the purposes of the introduction and literature review sections.

Findings
– The nature of citations to knowledge to establish these purposes is identified and used to suggest that citations made in these sections should not count in citation analysis that are used to determine quality of publications. Introduction sections are written to identify the importance and justification for the subject of study, while literature reviews are written to identify gaps, opposing views, strengths and weaknesses in the status quo knowledge.

Originality/value
– This paper will provide insight and awareness to new methodologies to cull and curate appropriate citation count in the computation of quality of publications.
Using slowness and azimuth fluctuations as new observables for four‐dimensional reservoir seismic monitoring
Authors: de Cacqueray B. , Roux P. , Campillo M. 
Published: November 2015

ABSTRACTFour‐dimensional imaging using geophysical data is of increasing interest in the oil and gas industries. While travel‐time and amplitude variations are commonly used to monitor reservoir properties at depth, their interpretation can suffer from a lack of information to decipher the parts played by different parameters. In this context, this study focuses on the slowness and azimuth angle measured at the surface using source and receiver arrays as complementary observables. In the first step, array processing techniques are used to extract both azimuth and incidence angles at the source side (departure angles) and at the receiver side (arrival angles). In the second step, the slowness and angle variations are monitored in a laboratory environment. These new observables are compared with traditional arrival‐time variations when the propagation medium is subject to temperature fluctuations. Finally, field data from a heavy‐oil permanent reservoir monitoring system installed onshore and facing steam injection and temperature variations are investigated. The slowness variations are computed over a period of 152 days. In agreement with Fermat's principle, strong correlations between the slowness and arrival‐time variations are highlighted, as well as good consistency with other techniques and field pressure measurements. Although the temporal variations of slowness and arrival time show the same features, there are still differences that can be considered for further characterization of the physical changes at depth.

Published: November 2015

AbstractAlmonds provide many benefits such as preventing heart disease due to their high content of oleic fatty acid‐rich oil and other important nutrients. However, they are susceptible to oxidation reactions causing rancidity during storage. The objective of this work was to evaluate the chemical and sensory quality preservation of almonds coated with carboxymethyl cellulose and with the addition of natural and synthetic antioxidants during storage. Four samples were prepared: almonds without coating (C), almonds coated with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), almonds coated with CMC supplemented with peanut skins extract (E), and almonds coated with CMC and supplemented with butylhydroxytoluene (BHT). Proximate composition and fatty acid profile were determined on raw almonds. Almond samples (C, CMC, E and BHT) were stored at 40 °C for 126 d. Lipid oxidation indicators: peroxide value (PV), conjugated dienes (CD), volatile compounds (hexanal and nonanal), and sensory attributes were determined for the stored samples. Samples showed small but significant increases in PV, CD, hexanal and nonanal contents, and intensity ratings of negative sensory attributes (oxidized and cardboard). C had the highest tendency to deterioration during storage. At the end of storage (126 d), C had the highest PV (3.90 meqO2/kg), and BHT had the lowest PV (2.00 meqO2/kg). CMC and E samples had similar intermediate PV values (2.69 and 2.57 meqO2/kg, respectively). CMC coating and the addition of natural (peanut skin extract) and synthetic (BHT) antioxidants provide protection to the roasted almond product.
Individual differences in orexin‐I receptor modulation of motivation for the opioid remifentanil
Authors: Porter‐Stransky Kirsten A. , Bentzley Brandon S. , Aston‐Jones Gary 
Published: November 2015

AbstractOrexin‐1 receptors (Ox1Rs) have been implicated in the motivation for drugs of abuse. Here, we utilized a within‐session behavioral‐economics threshold procedure to screen for individual differences in economic demand for the ultra‐short‐acting opioid remifentanil and to test whether antagonism of Ox1Rs reduces remifentanil demand. The behavioral‐economics procedure revealed robust individual differences in free consumption of remifentanil (Q0 parameter; hedonic set point). Rats with low baseline Q0 (low takers) displayed high demand elasticity (α parameter; reduced responding as drug price increased indicating low motivation for drug), whereas subjects with a higher Q0 (high takers) exhibit low demand elasticity (low α) by continuing to self‐administer remifentanil despite increased cost (reflecting higher motivation for drug). In a punished responding paradigm utilizing footshock, subjects that were classified as high takers at baseline withstood twice as much shock as low takers to continue self‐administering remifentanil. Interestingly, Ox1R antagonism with SB‐334867 reduced Q0 and increased α in low takers but not in high takers. Similarly, the Ox1R antagonist attenuated cue‐induced, but not drug‐induced, reinstatement of remifentanil seeking in low takers but had no significant effect on reinstatement of drug seeking in high takers. Together, these data reveal a novel role of orexins in demand for remifentanil: Ox1Rs modulate demand in low takers but not in individuals that exhibit addictive‐like behaviors (high takers). Finally, the behavioral assays in this study can serve as a novel laboratory model for studying individual differences in opioid use disorders.
Efficacy and tolerability of pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation in adults with serious mental illness: a systematic review and network meta‐analysis
Authors: Roberts Emmert , Eden Evins A. , McNeill Ann , Robson Debbie 
Published: November 2015

AbstractBackground and AimsTo assess the efficacy and tolerability of adjunctive pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation in adults with serious mental illness (SMI) by means of a systematic review and network meta‐analysis.MethodWe searched Embase, Medline, PsychINFO and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from database inception to 1 December 2014 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English. We included all studies of smokers with SMI (including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, delusional disorder and depressive psychoses) who were motivated to quit smoking. Pharmacotherapies included nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), bupropion and varenicline delivered as monotherapy or in combination compared with each other or placebo. The efficacy outcome was self‐reported sustained smoking cessation, verified biochemically at the longest reported time‐point. The tolerability outcome was number of patients discontinuing the trial due to any adverse event.ResultsSeventeen study reports were included, which represented 14 individual RCTs. No trials were found in patients with depressive psychoses, delusional disorder or that compared NRT monotherapy with placebo. A total of 356 and 423 participants were included in the efficacy and tolerability analyses, respectively. From the network meta‐analysis, both bupropion and varenicline were more effective than placebo [odds ratio (OR) = 4.51, 95% credible interval (CrI) = 1.45–14.04 and OR = 5.17, 95% CrI = 1.78–15.06, respectively]. Data were insensitive to an assessment of varenicline versus bupropion (OR = 1.15, 95% CrI = 0.24–5.45). There were no significant differences in tolerability. All outcomes were rated by GRADE criteria as very low quality.ConclusionsThe limited evidence available to date suggests that bupropion and varenicline are effective and tolerable for smoking cessation in adults with serious mental illnesses.
Next step toward a molecular phylogeny of click‐beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae): redefinition of Pityobiinae, with a description of a new subfamily Parablacinae from the Australasian Region
Authors: Kundrata Robin , Gunter Nicole L , Douglas Hume , Bocak Ladislav 
Published: November 2015

AbstractElateridae represents one of the largest families within Coleoptera, yet their interrelationships remain under‐investigated. Molecular data are missing for most lineages, especially for the species‐poor suprageneric taxa. In this study, we investigated the limits and phylogenetic position of Pityobiinae sensu Calder (1996), a group of several small genera from the New World and Australasia, using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods. We merged new sequence data with those deposited in GenBank, producing a final matrix of 178 terminal taxa and covering the main click‐beetle subfamilies. The resulting topologies showed Elaterinae as sister to remaining click‐beetle lineages, and Agrypninae as sister to the Morostomatinae + Dendrometrinae + Cardiophorinae + Negastriinae clade. Members of Hemiopinae, Lissominae, Thylacosterninae and Pityobiinae formed basal lineages within Elateridae − Elaterinae. We found Lissominae to be polyphyletic, including Thylacosterninae as a terminal lineage and with Oestodini forming an independent lineage outside that clade. Therefore, the subfamily Oestodinae stat. nov. was reinstated for the North American genera Oestodes LeConte and Bladus LeConte. The Australian genera Dicteniophorus Candèze, Drymelater Calder and Stichotomus Candèze were transferred from Dendrometrinae to Elaterinae. Pityobiinae was recovered as two distant lineages in all analyses and correspondingly the subfamily is reduced to contain only the North American Pityobius LeConte and tentatively the South American Tibionema Solier, for which we have no DNA sequences. Additionally, we propose Parablacinae subfam. nov. for the remaining former pityobiine genera from Australia and New Zealand. The new subfamily includes Parablax Schwarz, Metablax Candèze, Wynarka Calder, Xuthelater Calder, Tasmanelater Calder, Parasaphes Candèze and also Ophidius Candèze, which is transferred here from Elaterinae. We failed to find universally diagnostic synapomorphies in adult morphology for Parablacinae, a common problem in elaterid taxonomy. Future research, including a comprehensive phylogeny of the subfamily and re‐examination of the morphology of its species is crucial to understanding the limits and classification of this lineage.
Studies of the susceptibility of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) from Timor‐Leste to pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides
Authors: Frances Stephen P , Morton Clinton J , Pettit William J 
Published: November 2015

AbstractAedes aegypti is the mosquito vector of dengue worldwide and also occurs in far northern Queensland, where cases of dengue occur annually. Aedes aegypti from colonies established from Townville, Queensland, Australia, and Dili, Timor‐Leste, were exposed in bottle bioassays to determine their susceptibility to three pyrethroids, the organophosphate, malathion and two commercial pyrethroid‐based products: Reslin® (50 g/l bioresmethrin) and Aqua‐K‐Othrine® (20 g/l deltamethrin) both containing the synergist, piperonyl butoxide. Aedes aegypti from Dili, Timor‐Leste, were resistant to permethrin, lamda‐cyhalothrin and resmethrin, but were susceptible to malathion and the two pyrethroid products. Biochemical microplate assays were used to measure activity levels of three enzymes (oxidase, esterase and glutathione‐S‐transferase), and there were no significant increases in the activity of oxidase and glutathione‐S‐transferase, but an increase in esterase activity in A. aegypti from Dili was detected. The study showed that mosquitoes originating in Timor‐Leste are tolerant of pyrethroid insecticides used in Australia and monitoring of insecticide susceptibility in A. aegypti introduced into Australia needs to be maintained to ensure that adequate control of dengue vectors is achieved.
Life Transitions and Brand Switching: How Changes in Social Relationships are Linked to Changes in Yogurt Brand and Grocery Chain Choice
Authors: Reitmeier Martina E. , Roosen Jutta 
Published: November 2015

Older consumers are often neglected as a target group because they are considered brand loyal and not flexible in their consumption habits. However, previous research suggests that life transitions may be associated with changes in consumers’ behavior. To investigate whether late‐life transitions are associated with a greater likelihood of changing the regularly bought yogurt brand, we analyzed real purchase data of German consumers from 2004 to 2008. Our findings provide empirical evidence that changes in social relationships (change in household size, relocation) are associated with a higher likelihood of changes in first yogurt brand and first grocery chain for older consumers. These findings have implications for policy makers and marketing practitioners.Les consommateurs plus âgés sont souvent négligés comme groupe‐cible, car ils sont considérés comme étant fidèles à leurs marques et peu flexibles dans leurs habitudes de consommation. Cependant, des recherches antérieures suggèrent que les transitions de la vie peuvent être associées à des changements d'habitudes de consommation alimentaire. Afin de déterminer si les transitions qui se passent en fin de vie sont associés avec une plus grande probabilité de changer la marque de yoghourt achetée régulièrement, nous analysons les données d'achats réels des consommateurs allemands de 2004 à 2008. Nos résultats fournissent des preuves empiriques sur la probabilité de changements de (a) la marque première de yoghourt et la chaîne de supermarché première pour les consommateurs les plus âgés à la suite des changements dans les relations sociales comme le changement de la taille de ménage et le déménagement. Et en plus ces résultats ont des répercutions pour les décideurs et les professionnels du marketing.
New Evidence on Export Price Elasticity from China and Six OECD Countries
Authors: Aiello Francesco , Bonanno Graziella , Via Alessia 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThis paper provides new evidence on export price elasticities by analyzing the cases of China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK and the USA over the period 1990–2012. Estimates have been made using panel data techniques for non‐stationary data. After demonstrating that long‐run relationships are stable to any structural break, it is found that exports are significantly determined by foreign demand, with long‐run income elasticity significantly higher than unity for China, Japan, Germany, the UK and the USA. Conversely, exports are price inelastic for most of the countries in the sample, in both the long run and the short run. The exception is France, whose export price elasticity is lower (higher) than unity in the short run (long run).
