Peer interviewers in mental health services research
Authors: Croft Bevin , Ostrow Laysha , Italia Linda , Camp-Bernard Adrian , Jacobs Yana 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
Inclusion of members of the target population in research is an increasing priority in the social sciences; however, relatively few studies employ approaches that involve persons with lived experience of the mental health system in mental health services research, particularly in the USA. The purpose of this paper is to describe one such approach, the employment of peer interviewers in the evaluation of a peer respite program.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper describes how peer interviewers were recruited, hired, trained, and supervised. The authors discuss some benefits and challenges associated with the approach.

Findings
Peer interviewer benefits and challenges: the shared lived experience between the peer interviewers and study participants contributed to increased comfort and a high response rate overall. The study opened up professional opportunities for peers, but inconsistent work hours were a challenge and resulted in turnover and difficulty filling vacant positions. The lead evaluator and supervisors worked closely with peer interviewers to ensure conflict of interest was mitigated to reduce bias.

Originality/value
This paper adds to the limited literature describing peer representation in research, outlining one avenue for partnering with peers to align research with the values of the intervention under study without compromising – and perhaps increasing – scientific rigor. The authors expect that even more peer involvement in the oversight, analysis, and interpretation of results would have improved the overall quality of the evaluation. Future efforts should build upon and incorporate the approach alongside more comprehensive efforts to partner with service users.
Patient and public involvement and the implementation of research into practice
Authors: Gillard Steve , Foster Rhiannon , Papoulias Constantina 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
Patient and public involvement (PPI) is increasingly central to the delivery of health services research. However, it has proved challenging to evaluate the impact of PPI on the implementation of research into clinical practice and health service delivery. The purpose of this paper is to develop and test a conceptual model explaining how PPI in the research process might impact on implementation.

Design/methodology/approach
A scoping review of knowledge translation and implementation science literature was performed to develop a conceptual model of the impact of PPI in research on implementation. A retrospective case study of a research project was used to illustrate the model.

Findings
The authors identified five domains in which PPI can impact on the implementation of research into practice. The review demonstrated that successful implementation depends on developing relational models of knowledge production, valuing experiential knowledge, engaging in collaborative practice, making use of knowledge brokers or tools for knowledge facilitation and embedding these factors into the implementation context. In the case study the authors were able to find examples that illustrated each of the five domains of the model.

Originality/value
The paper builds on existing endeavour to evaluate the impact of PPI in research, demonstrating that it is possible to model, conceptually, the processes whereby PPI in research might impact on practice and service delivery. By illustrating those processes through the exemplar case the authors also demonstrate the potential for the model to be “operationalised”, allowing the impacts, on practice, of PPI in research to be systematically and directly evidenced.
Determinants of managerial engagement in environmental responsibility in the public assembly facility sector
Authors: Walker Matthew B. , Salaga Steven , Mercado Haylee 
Published: September 2016

PurposeWhile cost savings and perceptual benefits have been discussed in the literature as catalysts for promoting environmental responsibility (ER) and green management among public assembly facilities (PAFs), researchers have yet to determine if and how ER in this particular sector differs by facility characteristics. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative study on ER and green management, which utilized questionnaire data from a sample of PAF managers obtained from the International Association of Venue Managers.FindingsProbit modeling results illustrate that implementation of green practices (e.g. general ER, green teams, and retrofitting) differ by ownership and management structure, market size where the facility is located, and facility type. These results are set against a backdrop of managerial strategy that seemingly enabled the effects.Practical implicationsPAFs are significant physical and social spaces in communities around the world and afford millions of patrons the opportunity to witness many forms of live entertainment. This level of usage, however, requires substantial resource investments in energy, water, waste removal, and other items necessary to maintain a functional, clean, and efficient facility. Given their visible and marquee status in both urban and rural regions, it is not surprising that facility management decisions have been underpinned by ER concerns. The results of this research provide useful information to PAF managers regarding how facility profiles are associated with ER adoption.Originality/valueThe contribution of this research lies in showing how memetic constraints have seemingly encumbered strategic decision making for ER initiatives, and suggestions for PAF managers are couched in the adoption of smart norms.
Antecedents, consequences and moderators of ambidextrous behaviours among frontline employees
Authors: Kao Ya-Ling , Chen Ching-Fu 
Published: September 2016

PurposeThe demand for efficient and flexible workers is growing in the service industry, with the promise of enhanced revenue generation and customer retention. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the antecedents (i.e. intrinsic motivation (IM)) and consequences (i.e. service performance (SP)) of front line employees’ ambidextrous behaviours, as well as the moderating roles of a proactive personality (PP), emotional intelligence (EI) and extrinsic reward (ER) in the IM-individual ambidexterity (IA) relationship.Design/methodology/approachA self-administered questionnaire was designed to collect empirical data from 205 flight attendants working at a Taiwanese airline company. Hierarchical regression analysis is used to test the proposed relationships and estimate factor affecting employees’ SP.FindingsThe results confirm that IM is positively related to ambidextrous behaviour, which in turn improves SP. EI positively moderates the relationship between IM and IA, while a PP and ER negatively moderate it.Practical implicationsThis paper entails useful implications for service providers to better understand front line employees’ ambidextrous behaviours and determine effective recruitment and reward management strategies that reflect the differing employee characteristic.Originality/valueThis study addresses the important issue of ambidextrous behaviours in a service-oriented context by examining whether and how PP, EI and ER moderate the relationships among IM, IA and SP.
Nostalgic marketing, perceived self-continuity, and consumer decisions
Authors: Ju Ilyoung , Kim Jihye , Chang Mark Jaewon , Bluck Susan 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of nostalgic marketing on consumer decisions, including the relation of nostalgia to perceived self-continuity, brand attitude (BA), and purchase intent (PI).

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses an experimental design that compares individuals’ responses to past-focussed (nostalgic) vs present-focussed (non-nostalgic) advertising across a range of three product types. Analyses include structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate direct and mediated relationships.

Findings
Nostalgic past-focussed advertisements (as compared to present-focussed advertisements) elicited higher perceived self-continuity which led to more favorable ratings of BA and greater intent to purchase the product. These effects held up regardless of product type. SEM showed that the relation of advertising-evoked nostalgia to BA is partially mediated by consumer’s perceived self-continuity. BA also directly predicted PI.

Practical implications
These findings provide two implications for marketing managers. First, the perceived self-continuity plays an important role in the success of nostalgia marketing. As such, advertising designed to directly influence perceived self-continuity should be used for framing a nostalgic marketing purposes that aims to connect consumers to particular brands. Second, evoking nostalgia in marketing communications is not just effective for one product type but appears to be useful across a variety of product type (i.e. utilitarian, hedonic, and neutral).

Originality/value
The study is based within an experiential marketing framework but is innovative in examining the specific experience of nostalgia and linking it to consumer’s identity (i.e. self-continuity). This area has received little attention and appears to be a promising area for future research on consumer decisions.
IC solder joint inspection based on the Gaussian mixture model
Authors: Cai Nian , Ye Qian , Liu Gen , Wang Han , Yang Zhijing 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to inspect solder joint defects of integrated circuit (IC) components on printed circuit boards. Here, an IC solder joint inspection algorithm is developed based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM).

Design/methodology/approach
First, the authors train a GMM using numerous qualified IC solder joints. Then, the authors compare the IC solder joint images with the trained model to inspect the potential defects. Finally, the authors introduce a frequency map and define a metric termed as normalized defect degree to evaluate qualities of the tested IC solder joints.

Findings
Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is superior to the state-of-the-art methods on IC solder joint inspection.

Originality/value
The approach is a promising method for IC solder joint inspection, which is quite different from the traditional classifier-based methods.
The Role of Program Directors in Treatment Practices: The Case of Methadone Dose Patterns in U.S. Outpatient Opioid Agonist Treatment Programs
Authors: Frimpong Jemima A. , Shiu‐Yee Karen , D'Aunno Thomas 
Published: September 2016

ObjectiveTo describe changes in characteristics of directors of outpatient opioid agonist treatment (OAT) programs, and to examine the association between directors’ characteristics and low methadone dosage.Data SourceRepeated cross‐sectional surveys of OAT programs in the United States from 1995 to 2011.Study DesignWe used generalized linear regression models to examine associations between directors’ characteristics and methadone dose, adjusting for program and patient factors.Data CollectionData were collected through telephone surveys of program directors.Principal FindingsThe proportion of OAT programs with an African American director declined over time, from 29 percent in 1995 to 16 percent in 2011. The median percentage of patients in each program receiving <60 mg/day declined significantly, from 48.5 percent in 1995 to 29 percent in 2005 and 23 percent in 2011. Programs with an African American director were significantly more likely to provide low methadone doses than other programs. This association was even stronger in programs with an African American director who served populations with higher percentages of African American patients.ConclusionsDemographic characteristics of OAT program directors (e.g., their race) may play a key role in explaining variations in methadone dosage across programs and patients. Further research should investigate the causal pathways through which directors’ characteristics affect treatment practices. This may lead to new, multifaceted managerial interventions to improve patient outcomes.
Residual eDNA detection sensitivity assessed by quantitative real‐time PCR in a river ecosystem
Authors: Balasingham Katherine D. , Walter Ryan P. , Heath Daniel D. 
Published: September 2016

AbstractSeveral studies have demonstrated that environmental DNA (eDNA) can be used to detect the presence of aquatic species, days to weeks after the target species has been removed. However, most studies used eDNA analysis in lentic systems (ponds or lakes), or in controlled laboratory experiments. While eDNA degrades rapidly in all aquatic systems, it also undergoes dilution effects and physical destruction in flowing systems, complicating detection in rivers. However, some eDNA (i.e. residual eDNA) can be retained in aquatic systems, even those subject to high flow regimes. Our goal was to determine residual eDNA detection sensitivity using quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR), in a flowing, uncontrolled river after the eDNA source was removed from the system; we repeated the experiment over 2 years. Residual eDNA had the strongest signal strength at the original source site and was detectable there up to 11.5 h after eDNA source removal. Residual eDNA signal strength decreased as sampling distance downstream from the eDNA source site increased, and was no longer detectable at the source site 48 h after the eDNA source water was exhausted in both experiments. This experiment shows that residual eDNA sampled in surface water can be mapped quantitatively using qRT–PCR, which allows a more accurate spatial identification of the target species location in lotic systems, and relative residual eDNA signal strength may allow the determination of the timing of the presence of target species.

IntroductionThe concept of “oligometastasis” has emerged as a basis on which to identify patients with stage IV non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who might be most amenable to curative treatment. Limited data have been available regarding the survival of patients with node‐negative oligometastatic NSCLC.Patients and methodsConsecutive patients with advanced NSCLC who attended Kindai University Hospital between January 2007 and January 2016 were recruited to this retrospective study. Patients with regional lymph node–negative disease and a limited number of metastatic lesions (≤5) per organ site and a limited number of affected organ sites (1 or 2) were eligible.ResultsEighteen patients were identified for analysis during the study period. The most frequent metastatic site was the central nervous system (CNS, 72%). Most patients (83%) received systemic chemotherapy, with only three (17%) undergoing surgery, for the primary lung tumor. The CNS failure sites for patients with CNS metastases were located outside of the surgery or radiosurgery field. The median overall survival for all patients was 15.9 months, with that for EGFR mutation–positive patients tending to be longer than that for EGFR mutation–negative patients.ConclusionCure is difficult to achieve with current treatment strategies for NSCLC patients with synchronous oligometastases, although a few long‐term survivors and a smaller number of patients alive at last follow‐up were present among the study cohort. There is an urgent clinical need for prospective evaluation of surgical resection as a treatment for oligometastatic NSCLC, especially negative for driver mutations.
Peer Group Effect in Firm Cash Holding Policy: Evidence from Korean Manufacturing Firms
Authors: Joo Changlim , Yang Insun , Yang Taeyong 
Published: September 2016

AbstractInformation about the activities of peer firms is indispensable for most corporate strategies. However, factors related to competitors have not been considered in most corporate financial research. This study uses data from Korean manufacturing firms to analyze empirically whether information on peer firms influences a firm's cash stockpiling decisions. Our results show that peer firms' cash ratio is a significant factor in the determination of company cash holding levels. To handle endogeneity issues, this study also proposes and attempts an alternative empirical method using a hybrid model utilizing both the mediation effect and instrumental variable.
Global identification predicts gay–male identity integration and well‐being among Turkish gay men
Authors: Koc Yasin , Vignoles Vivian L. 
Published: September 2016

In most parts of the world, hegemonic masculinity requires men to endorse traditional masculine ideals, one of which is rejection of homosexuality. Wherever hegemonic masculinity favours heterosexuality over homosexuality, gay males may feel under pressure to negotiate their conflicting male gender and gay sexual identities to maintain positive self‐perceptions. However, globalization, as a source of intercultural interaction, might provide a beneficial context for people wishing to create alternative masculinities in the face of hegemonic masculinity. Hence, we tested if global identification would predict higher levels of gay–male identity integration, and indirectly subjective well‐being, via alternative masculinity representations for gay and male identities. A community sample of 219 gay and bisexual men from Turkey completed the study. Structural equation modelling revealed that global identification positively predicted gay–male identity integration, and indirectly subjective well‐being; however, alternative masculinity representations did not mediate this relationship. Our findings illustrate how identity categories in different domains can intersect and affect each other in complex ways. Moreover, we discuss mental health and well‐being implications for gay men living in cultures where they experience high levels of prejudice and stigma.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the applicability and precision of a novel infusion‐drainage device (IDD) for standardized filling paradigms in neuro‐urology and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of lower urinary tract (LUT) function/dysfunction.Subjects/Patients and MethodsThe IDD is based on electrohydrostatic actuation which was previously proven feasible in a prototype setup. The current design includes hydraulic cylinders and a motorized slider to provide force and motion. Methodological aspects have been assessed in a technical application laboratory as well as in healthy subjects (n=33) and patients with LUT dysfunction (n=3) undergoing fMRI during bladder stimulation. After catheterization, the bladder was pre‐filled until a persistent desire to void was reported by each subject. The scan paradigm comprised automated, repetitive bladder filling and withdrawal of 100 mL body warm (37 °C) saline, interleaved with rest and sensation rating. Neuroimaging data were analysed using Statistical Parametric Mapping version 12 (SMP12).ResultsVolume delivery accuracy was between 99.1±1.2% and 99.9±0.2%, for different flow rates and volumes. Magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility was demonstrated by a small decrease in signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR), i.e. 1.13% for anatomical and 0.54% for functional scans, and a decrease of 1.76% for time‐variant SNR. Automated, repetitive bladder‐filling elicited robust (P = 0.05, family‐wise error corrected) brain activity in areas previously reported to be involved in supraspinal LUT control. There was a high synchronism between the LUT stimulation and the blood oxygenation level‐dependent (BOLD) signal changes in such areas.ConclusionWe were able to develop an MR‐compatible and MR‐synchronized IDD to routinely stimulate the LUT during fMRI in a standardized manner. The device provides LUT stimulation at high system accuracy resulting in significant supraspinal BOLD signal changes in interoceptive and LUT control areas in synchronicity to the applied stimuli. The IDD is commercially available, portable and multi‐configurable. Such a device may help to improve precision and standardization of LUT tasks in neuro‐imaging studies on supraspinal LUT control, and may therefore facilitate multi‐site studies and comparability between different LUT investigations in the future.
Geographical and seasonal variation in the intensity of sexual selection in the barn swallowHirundo rustica: a meta‐analysis

Published: September 2016

ABSTRACTSexual selection arises from competition among individuals for access to mates, resulting in the evolution of conspicuous sexually selected traits, especially when inter‐sexual competition is mediated by mate choice. Different sexual selection regimes may occur among populations/subspecies within the same species. This is particularly the case when mate choice is based on multiple sexually selected traits. However, empirical evidence supporting this hypothesis at the among‐populations level is scarce. We conducted a meta‐analysis of the intensity of sexual selection on the largest database to date for a single species, the barn swallow (Hirundo rustica), relying on quantitative estimates of sexual selection. The intensity of sexual selection was expressed as the strength (effect size) of the relationships between six plumage ornaments (tail length, tail asymmetry, size of white spots on tail, ventral plumage colour, throat plumage colour and throat patch size) and several fitness proxies related to reproduction, parental care, offspring quality, arrival date from spring migration, and survival. The data were gathered for four geographically separated subspecies (H. r. rustica,H. r. erythrogaster,H. r. gutturalis,H. r. transitiva). The overall mean effect size (Zr = 0.214; 95% confidence interval = 0.175–0.254;N = 329) was of intermediate magnitude, with intensity of sexual selection being stronger in males than in females. Effect sizes varied during the breeding cycle, being larger before egg deposition, when competition for access to mates reaches its maximum (i.e. in the promiscuous part of the breeding cycle), and decreasing thereafter. In addition, effect sizes from experiments were not significantly larger than those from correlative studies. Finally, sexual selection on different sexually dimorphic traits varied among subspecies. This last result suggests that morphological divergence among populations has partly arisen from divergent sexual selection, which may eventually lead to speciation.
