Enhancing recovery orientation within mental health services: expanding the utility of values
Authors: Williams Virginia C , Deane Frank P. , Oades Lindsay G , Crowe Trevor P , Ciarrochi Joseph , Andresen Retta 
Published: March 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to review the role of values within contemporary mental health recovery services, outlining the rationale and approach for a specific values-focused staff intervention to promote autonomously motivated uptake of recovery-oriented practices.Design/methodology/approach– Recent advances in understanding of the enduring gap between ideological and applied acceptance of personal recovery within mental health services are outlined, with particular focus on the limited utility of training programmes as a means to promoting implementation. Frequently, mental health service organisations have adopted recovery policies in a primarily “top-down” fashion standing in contrast to the high autonomy approaches espoused for service users. Drawing from the extensive research related to Self-Determination Theory (SDT), a complementary focus on “bottom-up” approaches that enable service-delivery staff to develop a sense of autonomy for changed work practices in order to increase implementation is indicated.Findings– Application of values-focused interventions for mental health recovery staff parallel to the approaches acknowledged as effective for service participants are likely to be effective in promoting implementation of newly trained recovery-oriented practices.Research limitations/implications– The paper is conceptual in nature and therefore reflects the priorities and views of the authors but the paper draws together well-established literature to develop a novel approach to a highly relevant issue.Practical implications– Training transfer and implementation of evidence-based practice are issues with broad relevance and the explication of additional methods to promote employee uptake of new practices is a key priority for organisations and policy makers.Social implications– Significant social implications include furthering the discussion and insight to the development of effective delivery of mental health services to individuals accessing service.Originality/value– A novel aspect of this paper is the provision of a theoretical rationale for the application of SDT as a framework for understanding the continuing challenge of recovery operationalisation, which despite the conceptual good-fit, currently stands as an association not well exploited. Moreover, this paper proposes values-clarification and coaching as a specific and reproducible approach to enhancing recovery-oriented service provision.
Reducing noise in the academic library: the effectiveness of installing noise meters
Authors: Lange Jessica , Miller-Nesbitt Andrea , Severson Sarah 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of an electronic noise-monitoring device (NoiseSign) at reducing noise levels in quiet study areas in an academic library.

Design/methodology/approach
– Surveys and decibel-level measurements were used to measure the perceived and objective noise levels, respectively, in both an intervention and a control area of two major branch libraries. Patrons’ perception of noise was measured with a passive paper and online survey, which asked patrons to rate the current noise level and their desired noise level. The actual noise measurements were collected twice a day with a hand-held decibel reader for 60 seconds and then corroborated after the intervention with automatically logged decibel readings from the noise monitor device in the two intervention areas. The authors conducted one-way ANOVA’s to determine if the results were significant.

Findings
– The NoiseSign had no statistically significant effect on either actual noise levels or user perceptions of noise in the library. The surveys comments and anecdotal observation of the spaces while doing measurements did reveal that noise in the quiet study areas was not the primary source of complaints.

Originality/value
– In spite of many proposed solutions to reducing noise in libraries, there has been very little research in this area. This is the first study to examine the effectiveness of using a noise-monitoring device in reducing noise levels at an academic library.
A complete system for publishing music-related ETDs
Authors: Yang Le , Ketner Kenny , Luker Scott , Patterson Matthew 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– There is no proposed solution to address the unresolved issues of publishing music-related electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) pertaining to technology availability, copyright, and preservation. The purpose of this paper is to propose a complete system, including technology development and publishing model, which addresses the existing issues of publishing music-related ETDs. The paper shares the practice of utilizing the system developed by Texas Tech University Libraries known as Streaming Audio and Video Experience (SAVE), and proposes it as a solution for other multimedia collections.

Design/methodology/approach
– The proposed system includes a technology solution and a publishing model. The technology solution, SAVE, contains an authenticated streaming multimedia player, a responsive-design user interface, and a web-based submission and management system. The publishing model combines a DSpace-based institutional repository (IR) with SAVE and preservation strategies.

Findings
– The integrated system of SAVE and DSpace-based IR expands the access of music-related ETDs and other multimedia collections to patrons, benefits the distance education students as well as the local students, facilitates professors’ classroom teaching, and helps to preserve physical multimedia items by avoiding check-outs.

Originality/value
– The SAVE solution resolves issues of publishing music-related ETDs, fulfills the local needs of publishing hundreds of music-related ETDs from the College of Visual and Performing Arts, and supports the publishing of other multimedia collections. The software will be released open source to the public for other universities’ use. The publishing model is also useful for those universities that intend to integrate an IR with the streaming player platform.
Dividend initiators, winners during 2008 financial crisis
Authors: Consler John , Lepak Greg M. 
Published: March 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to describe and compare the mean response for selected financial variables in three dividend paying groups before and after the financial crisis of 2008. Dividend initiators are expected to be rewarded by investors over traditional dividend paying firms.Design/methodology/approach– Quarterly CRSP data from 2000 to 2012 are used to define dividend paying groups. Highly unbalanced financial data on dividend paying firms are analyzed in two truncated sample periods defined before and after the financial crisis. Fitted models describing differences in dividend paying groups are based on the linear mixed model representation of penalized splines with random effects to account for repeated measures over time.Findings– Results are presented on the important differences in selected financial variables before and after the financial crisis by dividend paying pattern group (traditional, initiators, residual/catering). Special emphasis is given to the analysis of market/book value ratio. Results demonstrate dividend initiators are rewarded over traditional dividend firms by investors. Firms with an intermittent paying pattern have no advantage. All dividend paying firms grow during the 2008 financial crisis. Traditional dividend payers have larger size than other dividend payers. The size effect explains results for several of the financial variables studied.Research limitations/implications– Future work can include an industry effect on the three dividend paying groups.Practical implications– Investors appear to prefer certainty as to when they receive a dividend over uncertainty, especially in times of economic downturn and economic recovery.Social implications– Enhanced awareness that different payment patterns exist and are rewarded differently over time on both the corporate issuer and investor sides.Originality/value– This study adds to body of knowledge of practical dividend payment patterns around a financial crisis. It also provides added support for dividend initiators.
The relationship between covariance risk and size effects in emerging equity markets
Authors: Wang Ming-Chieh , Ye Jin-Kui 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the conditionally expected return on size-based portfolios in an emerging market (EM) is determined by the country’s world risk exposure. The authors analyze the degree of financial integration of 23 emerging equity markets grouped into five size portfolios using the conditional international asset pricing model with both world and domestic market risks. The authors also compare the model’s fitness on the predictability of portfolio returns by using world and EM indices.

Design/methodology/approach
– This study investigates whether large-cap stocks are priced globally and whether mid- and small-cap stocks are strongly influenced by domestic risk factors. The authors first examine the predictability of large-, mid-, and small-cap stock portfolio returns by using global and local variables, and next compare the model fitness by using world and EM indices on the prediction of size-based stock returns. Finally, the authors test whether the world price of covariance risk is the same for different portfolios.

Findings
– The authors find that the conditional expected returns of large-cap stocks should be priced by global variables. Mid- and small-cap stocks are influenced by domestic variables rather than global variables, and their returns are priced by local residual risks. The test of the conditional asset pricing model shows that the largest stocks have the smallest mean absolute pricing errors (MAE), and their pricing errors are lower in large markets than in small markets. Third, the EM index offers more predictability for the excess returns of mid- and small-cap stocks than the world market index, but the explanatory power of this index does not increase for large-cap stocks.

Originality/value
– EMs in the past were known as segment markets, with local risk factors more important than global risk factors, suggesting significant benefits from adding EMs to global portfolios. It would be interesting to examine whether financial integration differs for various firm sizes in the markets.

Authors: Afzali Mehdi , Ahmed Elsadig Musa 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to develop a scale to find the relationship between consumer doubt, skepticism, familiarity, information seeking, value for money and aesthetic design with customers’ purchase intention.

Design/methodology/approach
– This study focussed on students of Malaysian university of multimedia in Melaka campus and used questionnaires to obtain the relevant data. Convenience random sampling method is used whereby 200 questionnaires were distributed among the target population and exactly 200 completed answers were collected.

Findings
– The survey results show that aesthetic design and information seeking of a product has a positive significant relationship with customers’ purchase intention. Respondents reported a consideration on these two factors and it is revealed that the scale used in this study is reliable and valid kind of measurement to assess customers’ purchase intention.

Practical implications
– To minimize the innovating failure among launched new innovative products, managers and decision makers should focus on variables used in this study. By focussing on aesthetic design and information seeking they can overcome some of the problems cause failure.

Originality/value
– This research focus on customers’ purchase intention to buy a Malaysian-made innovative new product and their lack of confidence and trust if the product satisfy their needs. The scale in this study show that this research is valid and it gives new perception toward purchase intention and innovation.

SummaryTalaromyces islandicus (‘Penicillium islandicum’) is a widespread foodborne mold that produces numerous secondary metabolites, among them potent mycotoxins belonging to different chemical classes. A notable metabolite is the hepatotoxic and carcinogenic pentapeptide cyclochlorotine that contains the unusual amino acids β‐phenylalanine, 2‐aminobutyrate and 3,4‐dichloroproline. Although the chemical structure has been known for over five decades, nothing is known about the biosynthetic pathway of cyclochlorotine. Bioinformatic analysis of the recently sequenced genome of T. islandicus identified a wealth of gene clusters potentially coding for the synthesis of secondary metabolites. Here, we show by RNA interference‐mediated gene silencing that a nonribosomal peptide synthetase, CctN, is responsible for the synthesis of cyclochlorotine. Moreover, we identified novel cyclochlorotine chemical variants, whose production also depended on cctN expression. Surprisingly, the halogenase required for cyclochlorotine biosynthesis is not encoded in the cct cluster. Nonetheless, our findings enabled us to propose a detailed model for cyclochlorotine biosynthesis. In addition, comparative genomics revealed that cct‐like clusters are present in all of the sequenced Talaromyces strains indicating a high prevalence of cyclochlorotine production ability.
Intimate partner violence during pregnancy and the risk for adverse infant outcomes: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
Authors: Donovan BM , Spracklen CN , Schweizer ML , Ryckman KK , Saftlas AF 
Published: March 2016

BackgroundIntimate partner violence (IPV) is of particular concern during pregnancy when not one, but two lives are at risk. Previous meta‐analyses have suggested an association between IPV and adverse birth outcomes; however, many large studies have since been published, illustrating the need for updated pooled effect estimates.ObjectivesTo evaluate the relationship between IPV during pregnancy and the risk of preterm birth (PTB), low‐birthweight (LBW), and small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) infants.Search strategyWe searched PubMed and SCOPUS (from inception until May 2015), and the reference lists of the relevant studies.Selection criteriaObservational studies comparing the rates of at least one adverse birth outcome (SGA, LBW, or PTB) in women who experienced IPV during pregnancy and those who did not.Data collection and analysisData extracted from 50 studies were pooled and pooled odds ratios were calculated using random‐effects models.Main resultsIntimate partner violence (IPV) was significantly associated with PTB (OR 1.91, 95% CI 1.60–2.29) and LBW (OR 2.11, 95% CI 1.68–2.65), although a large level of heterogeneity was present for both (I2 = 84 and 91%, respectively). The association with SGA was less pronounced and marginally significant (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.02–1.84), although fewer studies were available for meta‐analysis (n = 7).ConclusionsOur meta‐analysis indicates that women who experienced IPV during pregnancy are at increased risk of having a PTB, and an LBW or an SGA infant. More studies examining the association between IPV and SGA are needed.Tweetable AbstractMeta‐analysis of IPV during pregnancy finds increased risk for preterm birth, LBW and SGA infants.

Published: March 2016

ObjectiveTo assess urinary, sexual, and bowel function before and after laparoscopic bowel resection for rectosigmoid endometriosis.DesignProspectively collected data regarding the function of the pelvic organs.SettingTertiary endometriosis referral unit, Aarhus University Hospital.SampleA cohort of 128 patients who underwent laparoscopic bowel resection for endometriosis.MethodsThe International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ), Sexual Function–Vaginal Changes Questionnaire (SVQ), and the Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) questionnaire were answered before and after surgery. Non‐invasive urodynamic testing was performed.Main outcome measuresPre‐ and postoperative function of the pelvic organs was compared, and risk factors for improved/impaired function were identified.ResultsA total of 96.1% of the women completed the 1–year follow‐up. A significant decrease (P = 0.002) in bladder filling problems (F–score) was observed 1 year after surgery, primarily caused by a significant decrease in bladder pain (P = 0.0001). No change for urodynamic parameters was observed. A significant increase in overall sexual satisfaction (P = 0.0001) and decrease in worries about sexual life (P = 0.001) was seen 1 year after surgery. Frequency of defecation was significantly increased 1 year after surgery (P = 0.0001), but the overall bowel function measured by LARS score was unchanged. Patients with anastomotic leakage had a significantly higher risk (odds ratio, OR 5.40; P = 0.002) of increased incontinence problems (I–score) 1 year after surgery.ConclusionA significant and clinically relevant improvement in urinary and sexual function 1 year after laparoscopic bowel resection for endometriosis was found. Except for anastomotic leakage, this could be observed independent of any patient‐ or treatment‐related factor. Apprehension about impairment of urinary and sexual function should not be a contraindication for bowel resection in endometriosis patients.Tweetable abstractRectal resection for endometriosis does not impair urinary and sexual function 1 year after surgery.
Potential clinical implication of 18F‐FDG PET/CT in diagnosis of periprosthetic infection and its comparison with 18F‐Fluoride PET/CT
Authors: Kumar Rajender , Kumar Rakesh , Kumar Vijay , Malhotra Rajesh 
Published: March 2016

AbstractIntroductionThe differentiation between septic and aseptic loosening of prosthetic hip joint is a major challenge for the clinician. This study assessed and compared the diagnostic accuracy of 18F‐ flouro‐deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F‐FDG PET/CT) with 18F‐fluoride PET/CT for diagnosis of infection in the painful hip prosthesis.MethodsIn this prospective study, we included the patients with painful hip prostheses with radiological or clinical suspicion of loosening, those who had given the written consent and scheduled for clinical and diagnostic evaluation before revision arthroplasty. To rule out the nature of loosening (septic vs. aseptic), all the patients underwent 18F‐Fluoride PET/CT and 18F‐FDG PET/CT. The reference standard for periprosthetic infection was based on histopathology and/or microbial culture and/or intraoperative findings.ResultsWe prospectively evaluated 42 patients of hip prostheses before revision arthroplasty. Visual and semi‐quantitative analysis of both the positron emission tomography (PET) images was done and the results were compared with a reference standard. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive values (NPV) and accuracy of 18F‐FDG PET/CT were 93.7%, 92.3%, 88.2%, 96% and 92.8% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of 18F‐fluoride PET/CT were 75%, 96.1%, 92.3%, 86% and 88.1% respectively. FDG PET/CT has higher sensitivity, NPV and accuracy as compared to compared to Fluoride PET/CT and comparable specificity and PPV.ConclusionsFluoride PET/CT had shown slightly higher specificity than FDG‐PET/CT, but the overall diagnostic performance of FDG‐PET/CT in periprosthetic infection is optimal in routine clinical practice and better than fluoride PET/CT.

AbstractThe study assessed the impact of damming on water quality and macroinvertebrate assemblages. It also assessed the response of macroinvertebrate‐based indices of water quality to damming. Macroinvertebrate community and physicochemical variables data were collected from 86 sites. Twenty‐nine sites downstream of dams were compared with 27 sites above impoundments and 30 sites on nearby unregulated streams. Of the downstream sites, 13 were situated <1 km from a dam while the other 16 were situated >1 km from a dam. A decrease in temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and total dissolved solids was observed in sites immediately downstream of impoundments. Macroinvertebrate community structure and South African Scoring System (SASS) scores closely followed the damming‐induced changes in water quality. However, water quality variables, macroinvertebrate community structure and SASS scores reverted back to typical upstream conditions in distances around 1 km from dams. Stream recovery from dam‐induced changes was demonstrated with streams recovering at distances around 1 km from the point of regulation in corroboration with predictions of the serial discontinuity concept (SDC). These dam‐induced changes also reflected themselves in SASS scores suggesting potential usefulness of SASS in monitoring ecological integrity of tropical rivers following disturbances like damming.
