How can European museums reach sustainability?
Authors: Recuero Virto Nuria , Blasco López Maria Francisca , San-Martín Sonia 
Published: July 2017

Purpose
This research aims to provide evidence of the impacts of market orientation, customer value approach (through prestige, value for money and reputation for quality) and innovation on museum sustainability.

Design/methodology/approach
The model is analysed through partial least squares (PLS-SEM), using a sample of 549 European museums.

Findings
The results reveal that reputation for quality, prestige, innovation and value for money positively and significantly influence museum sustainability. Interestingly, the most meaningful linkage is between market orientation and innovation.

Practical implications
This research helps museums that need to increase their customer value and innovativeness so as to ensure museum sustainability. It proves that museum managers have to increase employees’ involvement in decision-making processes.

Originality/value
By using a wide sample of European museums, this study suggests that museum managers need to consider the impact of marketing strategies and customer value perceptions on the economic and social sustainability of museums.
At home away or arrived in Spain: translocalism and neighbourhood social circles among long-term visitors in Costa Blanca leisurescapes
Authors: Jacobsen Jens Kr. Steen , Nogués-Pedregal Antonio Miguel 
Published: July 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to outline and interpret social circles and networks of long-term visitors to Costa Blanca (Spain) and to analyse how the long-termers relate to Spanish nationals and compatriots in their (temporary) residence areas.

Design/methodology/approach
En route airport questionnaire survey to departing passengers.

Findings
The study indicates a presence of translocalism among many of the polyglot long-termers not tied to their native soil and having manifold links across national borders. Most of them socialise within compatriot leisurescape settings. Language skills are determinant. Many long-termers are “dual citizens”, feeling at home both here and there.

Research limitations/implications
Airport surveys can reach a broad range of people but must be kept simple because of time constraints. The different labels used by researchers to describe international mobility might not be comprehensive.

Practical implications
The paper is of interest to local authorities, planners, property developers and tourism destination service providers.

Social implications
The study confirms that some persons may be physically “in” a foreign culture while socially “outside” of that culture, or in society but not of it.

Originality/value
The research uniquely encompasses all types of long-termers in various locations, based on an airport survey. It offers new insights into patterns of social circles and language proficiencies of diverse international long-term arrivals in Mediterranean Spain.

AbstractGlobally, habitat degradation is accelerating, especially in the tropics. Changes to interface habitats can increase environmental overlap among nonhuman primates, people, and domestic animals and change stress levels in wildlife, leading to changes in their risk of parasite infections. However, the direction and consequences of these changes are unclear, since animals may benefit by exploiting human resources (e.g., improving nutritional health by eating nutritious crops) and decreasing susceptibility to infection, or interactions with humans may lead to chronic stress and increased susceptibility to infection. Vervet monkeys are an excellent model to understand parasitic disease transmission because of their tolerance to anthropogenic disturbance. Here we quantify the gastrointestinal parasites of a group of vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) near Lake Nabugabo, Uganda, that frequently overlaps with people in their use of a highly modified environment. We compare the parasites found in this population to seven other sites where vervet monkey gastrointestinal parasites have been identified. The vervets of Lake Nabugabo have the greatest richness of parasites documented to date. We discuss how this may reflect differences in sampling intensity or differences in the types of habitat where vervet parasites have been sampled.

Published: July 2017

AbstractBackgroundThe aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of diabetic ketosis (DK) and its risk factors in Chinese diabetes patients with severe hyperglycemia.MethodsThe present multicenter cross‐sectional study was performed on patients aged >16 years with diabetes mellitus (DM) and random blood glucose levels >13.9 mmol/L (>250 mg/dL). Blood ketones (β‐hydroxybutyric acid) and urinary ketones (acetoacetic acid) were measured and information on patient demographic and clinical characteristics was collected.ResultsOf 1235 patients enrolled in the study (93 with type 1 DM [T1DM]), 1142 with type 2 DM [T2DM]), 242 (19.6%) had DK (blood ketone levels ≥0.6 mmol/L). Proportionately, DK was more frequent and more severe in patients with T1DM than T2DM (55.9% vs 16.6%, respectively), but in absolute terms occurred in more patients with T2DM (52 vs 190). In patients with blood ketone levels ≥3 mmol/L, the cut‐off point of blood glucose levels was 19.05 mmol/L. Risk factors significantly associated with higher blood ketone levels in T2DM included younger age, a shorter duration of diabetes, and not using antidiabetic medication within 12 months prior to the hyperglycemic episode.ConclusionsThe prevalence of DK is lower in patients with T2DM than T1DM, but the number of patients with DK is higher for those with T2DM because of more T2DM patients in China. Patients with T2DM who have a younger age, shorter duration of diabetes, and a lack of antidiabetic treatment will suffer from DK more often than older patients with longer T2DM duration and receiving antidiabetic treatment.
Substrates across horticultural and livestock industries that support the development of stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae)

Published: July 2017

AbstractThis study examined a multitude of potential substrates across horticultural and livestock industries that supported the development of the stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Linneaus) (1081 samples from over 100 properties (2010–2016)). Stable fly developed in high numbers from vegetable crop residues left after harvest, notably celery and leeks as well as several brassica crops, lettuce and silverbeet. Unmarketable vegetables (reject produce) and processing waste provided another source of stable fly development, in particular from carrot production (green tops and processing washings) as well as beetroot and daikon leaves, reject zucchinis, rockmelons, eggplants, turnips and squashes. Reject produce from mostly solanaceous plants either did not support any or rarely supported the development of adult stable fly. Reject vegetable produce fed to livestock presented a source for stable fly to develop in the vegetable/manure mix, especially from carrots and corn cobs. Large accumulations of cattle dung in feedlot situations, hay feeding out sites, wet grain feed and exposed silage produced the highest numbers of stable fly from livestock industries. Cattle dung from rangeland pastures, pig manure and horse manure rarely if ever supported the development of stable fly. Only cattle dung that had aged or pig manure that had been mixed with straw and left to age allowed for any stable fly development. Miscellaneous sources of stable fly development include rotting lawn clippings, rotting weeds, ageing olive pressing residue, and to a lesser extent, rotting wild melons and seaweed.
Time course study of Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) pupae predation in soil: the effect of landscape structure and soil condition

Published: July 2017

Abstract
Environmentally friendly control measures are necessary for the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi). Predation of pupae in soil should be better understood because it contributes to the natural control of pest populations.
A time course field trial was carried out in 2015 and 2016 in 15 olive orchards selected to represent a gradient of landscape complexity. Exclusion cages were used to estimate predation rate. A combination of tillage intensity and soil coverage by herbaceous vegetation, hereafter referred to as soil condition, was also assessed as a factor affecting predation rate. The viability of the pupae recovered from the field was also evaluated.
Predation was higher in the autumn than in late winter–early spring, although predation rate values were generally quite low.
Landscape structure affected predation. In the autumn, the area of Mediterranean scrublands promoted predation in the olive groves. In late winter–early spring, weak tendencies were registered.
Soil condition affected predation in autumn as well. The intense tillage and poor soil coverage were related to lower values of predation rate.
To favour conservation biological control of B. oleae by pupae predation, it is advisable to reduce the intensity of soil management, especially in autumn, and to preserve areas of scrublands surrounding the olive groves.

Published: July 2017

AbstractAimHeat stress and hypoxia independently influence cerebrocortical activity and impair prolonged exercise performance. This study examined the relationship between electroencephalography (EEG) activity and self‐paced exercise performance in control (CON, 18 °C, 40% RH), hot (HOT, 35 °C, 60% RH) and hypoxic (HYP, 18 °C, 40% RH FiO2: 0.145) conditions.MethodsEleven well‐trained cyclists completed a 750 kJ cycling time trial in each condition on separate days in a counterbalanced order. EEG activity was recorded with α‐ and β‐activity evaluated in the frontal (F3 and F4) and central (C3 and C4) areas. Standardized low‐resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) was also utilized to localize changes in cerebrocortical activity.ResultsBoth α‐ and β‐activity decreased in the frontal and central areas during exercise in HOT relative to CON (P < 0.05). α‐activity was also lower in HYP compared with CON (P < 0.05), whereas β‐activity remained similar. β‐activity was higher in HYP than in HOT (P < 0.05). sLORETA revealed that α‐ and β‐activity increased at the onset of exercise in the primary somatosensory and motor cortices in CON and HYP, while only β‐activity increased in HOT. A decrease in α‐ and β‐activity occurred thereafter in all conditions, with α‐activity being lower in the somatosensory and somatosensory association cortices in HOT relative to CON.ConclusionHigh‐intensity prolonged self‐paced exercise induces cerebrocortical activity alterations in areas of the brain associated with the ability to inhibit conflicting attentional processing under hot and hypoxic conditions, along with the capacity to sustain mental readiness and arousal under heat stress.

AbstractCisplatin (CDDP) chemotherapy associated with radiation (RT) has been used in advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients, and vomiting is a common side effect during treatment. This prospective study aimed to identify the roles of GSTM1 and GSTT1 (presents or nulls), GSTP1 c.313A>G, XPC c.2815A>C, XPD c.934G>A and c.2251A>C, XPF c.2505T>C, ERCC1 c.354C>T, MLH1 c.−93G>A, MSH2 c.211 + 9C>G, MSH3 c.3133G>A, EXO1 c.1765G>A, TP53 c.215G>C, CASP3 c.‐1191A>G and c.‐1168G>T, CASP9 c.‐1339A>G, CASP8 c.‐937_‐932delAGTAAG, FAS c.‐1378G>A and c.‐671A>G, and FASL c.‐157‐687C>T single nucleotide polymorphisms, involved in CDDP metabolism, in vomiting severity in 88 HNSCC patients treated with CDDP and RT. Ondansetron and dexamethasone were administered as anti‐emetic therapy. Patients with GSTP1 c.313AG or GG genotype alone and combined with XPD c.934GA or AA, XPF c.2505TC or CC, and CASP9 c.‐1339AG or GG genotypes had 4.28, 5.00, 5.45 and 5.38 more chances of presenting moderate/severe vomiting than patients with others genotypes. Our data suggest, for the first time, that inherited abnormality in apoptosis pathway alone or combined with inherited abnormalities in DNA repair pathway, is capable of modulating emesis in HNSCC patients under CDDP chemoradiation and may be used for selecting patients who should receive pre‐emptive anti‐emetic therapy.

Published: July 2017

AbstractAims/IntroductionTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of alpha‐glucosidase inhibitors (AGI) in Asian and non‐Asian type 2 diabetes patients.Materials and MethodsStudies were identified through a literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and other databases until December 2016. All statistical analyses were carried out in Review Manager statistical software by computing the weighted mean difference or odds ratio and 95% confidence interval.ResultsA total of 67 studies were included. AGI vs placebo: compared with the placebo, AGI treatment led to a greater decrease in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose and postprandial plasma glucose. No significant difference was observed in HbA1c change, fasting plasma glucose change, postprandial plasma glucose change or incidence of hypoglycemia between Asian and non‐Asian patients. AGI vs active controls: in Asian patients, AGI treatment showed a lower reduction in HbA1c compared with dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitors and sulfonylurea. In non‐Asian patients, AGI treatment showed a lower reduction in HbA1c compared with thiazolidinedione. No significant difference was observed in HbA1c change and bodyweight change when comparing AGI with other oral hypoglycemic agents between Asian and non‐Asian patients.ConclusionsThe effects of AGI treatment on glycemic control and bodyweight reduction were superior to the placebo without an increased incidence of hypoglycemia, but with an increased incidence of gastrointestinal discomforts. The hypoglycemic effects of AGI were comparable between Asian and non‐Asian patients.

Published: July 2017

AbstractAimThe aim of the present study was to explore traditional oral health beliefs among the Bulang ethnic minority group in China.MethodsEighteen village leaders, chiefs, elders, and seniors in Yunnan, China were assigned to three focus groups for discussion of traditional oral health beliefs. The discussions were led by a facilitator. Transcripts were made, and data were extracted.ResultsThe focus group discussions on traditional oral health beliefs addressed three themes: (a) the perception of oral health; (b) the impact of healthy teeth (oral health), in that healthy teeth essentially have an impact on physical health, emotions, and social status; and (c) toothache management, which was regarded as tooth decay (dental caries). Blackening teeth was a pain relief method. Blackened teeth were reported to be part of ethnic identity, and considered esthetically pleasing. It also indicated the marital status of women.ConclusionSome Bulang people believed that healthy dentition has no spacing, pain, or functioning problems. Well‐aligned dentition was associated with higher social status. Toothaches were considered to be caused by tooth worms. Consulting a monk was another way to manage a toothache. Tooth blackening was considered traditional, and effective for caries prevention.

Published: July 2017

IntroductionNational and professional organizations recommend oral health promotion in prenatal care to improve women's oral health. However, few prenatal programs include education about oral health promotion. The objective of this study was to determine if women receiving a brief, low‐cost, and sustainable educational intervention entitled CenteringPregnancy Oral Health Promotion had clinically improved oral health compared to women receiving standard CenteringPregnancy care.MethodsWomen attending CenteringPregnancy, a group prenatal care model, at 4 health centers in the San Francisco Bay Area, participated in this nonrandomized controlled pilot study in 2010 to 2011. The intervention arm received the CenteringPregnancy Oral Health Promotion intervention consisting of two 15‐minute skills‐based educational modules addressing maternal and infant oral health, each module presented in a separate CenteringPregnancy prenatal care session. The present analysis focused on the maternal module that included facilitated discussions and skills‐building activities including proper tooth brushing. The control arm received standard CenteringPregnancy prenatal care. Dental examinations and questionnaires were administered prior to and approximately 9 weeks postintervention. Primary outcomes included the Plaque Index, percent bleeding on probing, and percent of gingival pocket depths 4 mm or greater. Secondary outcomes were self‐reported oral health knowledge, attitudes (importance and self‐efficacy), and behaviors (tooth brushing and flossing). Regression models tested whether pre to post changes in outcomes differed between the intervention versus the control arms.ResultsOne hundred and one women participated in the study; 49 were in the intervention arm, and 52 were in the control arm. The control and intervention arms did not vary significantly at baseline. Significant pre to post differences were noted between the arms with significant improvements in the intervention arm for the Plaque Index, bleeding on probing, and pocket depths 4 mm or greater.DiscussionProviding brief oral health education and skills‐building activities within prenatal care may be effective in improving women's oral health during pregnancy. These findings provide support for developing a full‐scale randomized clinical trial of the CenteringPregnancy Oral Health Promotion intervention.

Published: July 2017

AbstractPurposeThis study examines multilevel factors related to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in a rural Accountable Care Organization (ACO) setting.MethodsThe study used electronic medical record data from 8 rural ACO clinics in Nebraska. The final sample included 15,866 average‐risk patients aged 50‐75 years who visited participating clinics at least once from June 2014 to May 2015. Logistic regression was conducted to examine simultaneous effects of patient, provider, and county characteristics on CRC screening after accounting for provider‐county‐level correlation using a generalized estimating equations method.FindingsThe results indicated that patients aged 65 years and older, non‐Hispanic white, whose preferred language was English, who had insurance, who had a wellness visit in the past year, and who had chronic conditions were more likely to be up‐to‐date on CRC screening. Patients were also more likely to be up‐to‐date when their primary care provider was a female medical doctor who was aware of clinic CRC screening protocols or who manually checked patient CRC screening status during the patient visit. Patients in a county with no gastroenterologist, a high poverty rate, and low insurance coverage were less likely to be up‐to‐date on CRC screening.Conclusions A variety of patient, provider, and county characteristics were associated with CRC screening. Effective strategies to promote CRC screening should address multilevel factors, including: targeting patients with identified individual barriers, modifying physician and clinical practices, and focusing on communities with low socioeconomic status or low levels of medical resources.

Published: July 2017

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of the study was to assess the return‐on‐investment (ROI) of an inpatient lay health worker (LHW) model in a rural Appalachian community hospital impacting 30‐day readmission rates.MethodsThe Bridges to Home (BTH) study completed an evaluation in 2015 of an inpatient LHW model in a rural Kentucky hospital that demonstrated a reduction in 30‐day readmission rates by 47.7% compared to a baseline period. Using the hospital's utilization and financial data, a validated ROI calculator specific to care transition programs was used to assess the ROI of the BTH model comparing 3 types of payment models including Diagnosis Related Group (DRG)‐only payments, pay‐for‐performance (P4P) contracts, and accountable care organizations (ACOs).FindingsThe BTH program had a –$0.67 ROI if the hospital had only a DRG‐based payment model. If the hospital had P4P contracts with payers and 0.1% of its annual operating revenue was at risk, the ROI increased to $7.03 for every $1 spent on the BTH program. However, if the hospital was an ACO as was the case for this study's community hospital, the ROI significantly increased to $38.48 for every $1 spent on the BTH program.ConclusionsThe BTH model showed a viable ROI to be considered by community hospitals that are part of an ACO or P4P program. A LHW care transition model may be a cost‐effective alternative for impacting excess 30‐day readmissions and avoiding associated penalties for hospital systems with a value‐based payment model.
