Lifestyle coaching for mental health difficulties: scoping review
Authors: Bishop Lauren , Hemingway Ann , Crabtree Sara Ashencaen 
Published: February 2018

PurposeUK mental health strategy calls for interventions that empower people to self-manage their condition. In lifestyle coaching, coach and client work collaboratively on positive behaviour change to improve client health. There is debate about the appropriateness of coaching for mental health, yet claims have not been supported with evidence. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the nature and scope of the existing research literature in this field.Design/methodology/approachScoping review.FindingsThe growing evidence base shows positive outcomes of coaching; for instance, symptom reduction, enhanced self-management and achievement of personal goals.Research limitations/implicationsThe evidence base is small and of variable quality, offering insights that warrant further exploration.Practical implicationsCoaching not only supports better self-management but also addresses further mental health strategy priorities (such as improved physical health and social functioning). Coaches need not be mental health experts; therefore coaching may be a cost-effective intervention.Social implicationsAs mental ill-health prevalence continues to rise despite widespread use of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies and medication, there is a need to explore how novel approaches such as coaching might be integrated into mental healthcare.Originality/valueThis is the first study to collate the evidence on mental health coaching, highlighting its extensive potential, which should be further explored in research and practice.
“As soon as people hear that word…”: associative stigma among clinicians working with people with serious mental illness
Authors: Vayshenker Beth A. , DeLuca Joseph , Bustle Timothy , Yanos Philip 
Published: February 2018

Purpose
Stigma by association occurs when members affiliated with a marginalized group become discredited themselves. The purpose of this paper is to explore associative stigma among mental health (MH) clinicians working with individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness (SMI).

Design/methodology/approach
In total, 47 eligible service providers completed an online qualitative study, with open-ended questions about areas touching on associative stigma such as assumptions about the MH profession, personal experiences of work-related stigma, and ways of coping.

Findings
The data revealed that MH clinicians commonly endorse experiences of associative stigma. The following themes were derived: experiences of stigma in describing the profession to others, media portrayal of MH professionals, assumptions about the field, ascriptions of personal characteristics, job devaluation, means of coping with associative stigma, and impact of associative stigma on work on clients.

Originality/value
This is the first qualitative study to examine the phenomenon of associative stigma with MH clinicians. This study suggests that MH providers working with people with SMI do encounter associative stigma when discussing their profession with community members. Professionals discussed encountering the stereotype that the work that they do is dangerous, that it is something “unwanted” and that it does not require much skill but could be done by anyone. Associative stigma could be an important component in the understanding of factors related to professional burnout.
Comparative values of variables related to brand logos
Authors: De Marchis Giorgio P. , Reales-Avilés José M. , Rivero María del Prado 
Published: February 2018

PurposeThis research aims to provide data and insights about the perception of commercial logos and to offer practical benchmark data useful to business organizations.
Design/methodology/approachThe first study uses a pencil-and-paper survey to gather perceptual data about familiarity, subjective and objective visual complexity, aesthetic attraction, emotionality, number of colors and symbolic-social-status function of 142 brand logos. The second study uses a response time methodology to measure variables related to memory (i.e., cued recall and types of non-response).
FindingsThe paper offers insights into the relationship of relevant symbol-related variables. Emotional arousal correlates positively to aesthetic attraction and cued recall, and negatively to symbol knowledge. Emotional arousal and social reputation correlate weakly. Business organizations should be interested in knowing how users rate the emotions of their own and other organizations’ isotypes. Familiarity correlates negatively to response times, and positively to proper cued recall, aesthetic attraction and self-assessment manikin emotional scale. The subjective measure of complexity and the measures related to emotions correlate. Surprisingly, no correlation exists for the objective measure of complexity with emotion. The results could indicate that an unknown effect of mere exposure of complexity exists. The study found no correlation between visual complexity and variables related to memory.
Practical implicationsValues of performance are needed to interpret business excellence. Data presented as supplementary file can be used for benchmark brand-logo relevant aspects. Also, the study suggests measuring the emotional value of logos, especially strength, as it is a predictor of recall. Moreover, companies with a socially reputed logo should try to create an emotional link to it. Repetition and likeness are two ways to improve emotional ratings. Therefore, the study suggests organizations to assure that their target likes their logo. As more complex logos are considered more attractive, the authors would recommend organizations to test logos with different degrees of complexity.
Originality/valueThis study is the first that offers normative logo data that can be used by practitioners as a benchmark of logo performance. Moreover, it promotes future research as it confirms and disconfirms previous findings and offers some new insight on brand research.
Why people use online social media brand communities
Authors: Kaur Puneet , Dhir Amandeep , Rajala Risto , Dwivedi Yogesh 
Published: February 2018

PurposeThe success and survival of any form of online community relies on the presence and active participation of its users. Hence, ensuring active user participation and retaining existing users is a key concern of the moderators of online communities. To address these challenges, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the epistemic, emotional, and social values that influence users’ intention to continue using an online social media brand community. Moreover, the study also investigates the differences in the influence of the investigated constructs and users’ various activity levels.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilized the consumption value theory framework for testing the relationship between different measures. An empirical analysis of the consumption values of 577 users in an online social media brand community was accomplished using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe study findings revealed that emotional and social values exert partial influence in predicting users’ intention to continue using online social media brand communities. In particular, social enhancement and playfulness predict users’ continuation intentions. Moreover, the results show that the influence of the investigated constructs (except playfulness) is consistent across users with various activity levels in online social media brand communities.Research limitations/implicationsThese findings pave the way for further theoretical and practical considerations of the role of consumption values in resolving challenges of user participation and retention. However, there are still some open gaps concerning the generalizability of the findings as well as other factors that could potentially influence the user intentions. Future studies should validate the findings by recruiting diverse users in terms of their age and cultural background.Practical implicationsThe study findings are of special relevance for the service operators interested in practicing user-centric innovation. Moreover, the findings can help online social media brand community managers to kick start user-centric innovation activities in their community.Originality/valueThe study provides a novel perspective on the challenges of assessing users’ consumption behavior. The perceived values have been conceptualized using the constructs of social influence, problem solving, playfulness, social enhancement, and social interaction.

Published: February 2018

SummaryIn many eukaryotes, transcription factor MCM1 gene plays crucial roles in regulating mating processes and pathogenesis by interacting with other co‐factors. However, little is known about the role of MCM1 in rust fungi. Here, we identified two MCM1 orthologs, PstMCM1‐1 and PstMCM1‐2, in the stripe rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Sequence analysis indicated that both PstMCM1‐1 and PstMCM1‐2 contain conserved MADS domains and that PstMCM1‐1 belongs to a group of SRF‐like proteins that are evolutionarily specific to rust fungi. Yeast two‐hybrid assays indicated that PstMCM1‐1 interacts with transcription factors PstSTE12 and PstbE1. PstMCM1‐1 was found to be highly induced during early infection stages in wheat and during pycniospore formation on the alternate host barberry (Berberis shensiana). PstMCM1‐1 could complement the lethal phenotype and mating defects in a mcm1 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, it partially complemented the defects in appressorium formation and plant infection in a Magnaporthe oryzae Momcm1 mutant. Knock down of PstMCM1‐1 resulted in a significant reduction of hyphal extension and haustorium formation and the virulence of Pst on wheat. Our results suggest that PstMCM1‐1 plays important roles in the regulation of mating and pathogenesis of Pst most likely by interacting with co‐factors.
Experimental insights into the importance of ecologically dissimilar bacteria to community assembly along a salinity gradient
Authors: Shen Dandan , Jürgens Klaus , Beier Sara 
Published: February 2018

SummaryThe response of local communities to marine–freshwater transitions and the processes that underlie community assembly are unclear, particularly with respect to bacteria that differ in their life strategies. Here, we implemented a transplant experiment where bacterioplankton from three regions of the Baltic Sea with differing salinities (∼3, 7 and 28 psu) were exposed to each other's environmental conditions. We found that habitat specialists were more abundant than generalists after exposure to salinity changes, irrespective of their origins. Most specialists that were selected following a salinity change were rare in the starting communities. Selection for generalists, however, was not specifically driven by the recruitment of either rare or abundant members, suggesting that taxon's initial abundance is minor relevant to the growth of generalists. Patterns in phylogenetic relatedness indicated that environmental filtering was the most influential assembly mechanism for specialists, whereas competitive interaction was more important for the assembly of generalists. Altogether, this study shows that large salinity changes promote the establishment of habitat specialists and that deterministic processes vary during community assembly for ecologically dissimilar taxa. We, therefore, propose that distinguishing assembly mechanisms of different community members helps understand and predict community dynamics in response to environmental change.
Implications of negative interest rate policies: An early assessment
Authors: Arteta Carlos , Kose M. Ayhan , Stocker Marc , Taskin Temel 
Published: February 2018

AbstractOver the past few years, several central banks have implemented negative interest rate policies (NIRP) to provide additional monetary policy stimulus. This paper presents an early assessment of the domestic and global implications of NIRP by analysing the behaviour of a set of key financial variables. We report three main results. First, since the introduction of NIRP, many of the key financial variables have evolved broadly, as implied by the standard transmission channels. For the euro area, the responses of these financial variables following NIRP announcements are directionally consistent with those of conventional interest rate cuts. Second, NIRP could pose risks to financial stability but there is no conclusive evidence as yet of a significant impact on bank profitability or of a broad‐based increase in leverage. Third, the responses of assets of emerging market and developing economies to NIRP announcements are on average broadly consistent with those to other types of expansionary monetary policy measures.
Univariate and Linear Composite Asymmetry Statistics for the “Pair‐Matching” of Bone Antimeres
Authors: Lee Amanda B. , Konigsberg Lyle W. 
Published: February 2018

AbstractThis paper examines the distributional properties of univariate and linear composite measures of long bone asymmetry. The goal of this paper is to examine models that best fit the distribution of asymmetries with implications for the improvement of forensic pair‐matching techniques. We use the software R to model reference data (N = 2343) and test data (N = 71) as normal distributions, an exponential power distribution, and a skew exponential power distribution—the latter two include the normal as a special case. Our results indicate that the data best fit the latter two distributions because the data are nonnormal. We also show how asymmetry statistics that use absolute values of side differences can be fit as folded distributions. This obviates the need for empirical distributions or for transformations that attempt to convert nonnormal distributions to normal distributions. The results of this study lay the framework for improving pair‐matching methods that use comparative reference data.

Published: February 2018

AimNutritional decline during and after acute hospitalisation is common amongst older people. This quality improvement initiative aimed to introduce a dietitian‐led discharge planning and follow‐up program (Hospital to Home Outreach for Malnourished Elders, HHOME) at two hospitals within usual resources to improve nutritional and functional recovery.MethodsProspective pre–post evaluation design was used. Medical patients aged 65+ years at‐risk of malnutrition and discharged to independent living were eligible. Participants receiving nutrition discharge planning and dietetic telephone follow up for four weeks post‐discharge (‘HHOME’) were compared to usual care (‘pre‐HHOME’). Nutritional (weight and mini nutritional assessment (MNA)), functional (gait speed, handgrip strength and modified Barthel index) and assessment of quality of life‐6D (AQoL‐6D) outcomes were measured on discharge and six weeks later.ResultsAt six weeks, no significant difference in nutritional status was observed between pre‐HHOME (n = 39) and HHOME cohorts, although the HHOME cohort on average maintained weight while pre‐HHOME cohort lost weight (0.4 ± 2.9 kg vs −1.0 ± 3.7 kg, P = 0.060). Greater improvement in gait speed was seen in HHOME group (+0.24 ± 0.27 vs +0.11 ± 0.22, P = 0.046) with no other significant outcome improvements. Across both cohorts, half were readmitted to hospital and 10% died within 12 weeks post‐discharge.ConclusionsThe nutritional discharge planning and dietetic follow up provided to older community‐living malnourished patients made a small impact on nutritional and functional parameters but clinical outcomes remained poor.
Tetracycline alters gene expression in Salmonella strains that harbor the Tn10 transposon
Authors: Hüttener M. , Prieto A. , Aznar S. , Dietrich M. , Paytubi S. , Juárez A. 
Published: February 2018

SummaryIn this report, we show that bacterial plasmids that harbor the Tn10 transposon (i.e., the IncHI1 plasmid R27) modify expression of different Salmonella regulons responding to the presence of tetracycline (Tc) in the medium. By using as a model the Tc‐dependent upregulation of the ibpAB operon (which belongs to the heat shock regulon), we have identified Tn10‐tetA (coding for a Tc efflux pump) and adjacent tetC sequences as required for ibpAB upregulation. Characterization of transcripts in the tetAC region showed that tetA transcription can continue into tetC sequences, generating a long 3′UTR sequence, which can protect transcripts from RNA processing, thus increasing the expression of TetA protein. In the presence of Tc, the DnaK and IbpA chaperones are overexpressed and translocated to the periplasm and to the membrane fraction respectively. DnaK targeting unfolded proteins is known to induce heat shock by avoiding RpoH proteolysis. We correlate expression levels of Tn10‐encoded TetA protein with heat shock induction in Salmonella, likely because TetA activity compromises protein secretion.
Emerging roles of extracellular vesicles in cellular senescence and aging
Authors: Takasugi Masaki 
Published: February 2018

SummaryCellular senescence is a cellular program that prevents the proliferation of cells at risk of neoplastic transformation. On the other hand, age‐related accumulation of senescent cells promotes aging at least partially due to the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype, whereby cells secrete high levels of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and matrix metalloproteinases. Emerging evidence, however, indicates that extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of the effects of senescent cells on their microenvironment. Senescent cells secrete more EphA2 and DNA via EVs, which can promote cancer cell proliferation and inflammation, respectively. Extracellular vesicles secreted from DNA‐damaged cells can also affect telomere regulation. Furthermore, it has now become clear that EVs actually play important roles in many aspects of aging. This review is intended to summarize these recent progresses, with emphasis on relationships between cellular senescence and EVs.
Prenatal acupuncture: Women's expectations and satisfaction and influence on labor
Authors: Trutnovsky Gerda , Schneeweiss Melanie , Pregartner Gudrun , Reif Philipp , Lang Uwe , Ulrich Daniela 
Published: February 2018

AbstractBackgroundUse of prenatal acupuncture for labor preparation is common, but there is still conflicting evidence with respect to its objective obstetric benefits. There is little information on women's expectations and subjective experiences with acupuncture treatments.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, a validated questionnaire on women's treatment satisfaction was sent to women who had received prenatal acupuncture at the obstetric clinic of the Medical University of Graz, Austria within the last 3 years. The electronic obstetric database was used to extract detailed clinical and obstetric data of women who received acupuncture and delivered at the hospital. For comparison, obstetric data were matched with a control group of women without prenatal acupuncture, who had given birth at the hospital during the study period.ResultsThe questionnaire was sent to 150 women, out of which 70 (46.7%) completed and returned the questionnaire. Analysis of the questionnaire indicated good overall satisfaction (mean sum score 26.22 ± 4.72) with acupuncture treatment—97.1% indicated that they were very or quite satisfied. Responders did not differ from nonresponders, except for the time between delivery and questionnaire (P = .015).Comparisons between the deliveries after prenatal acupuncture (n = 144) and the matched control deliveries (n = 576) showed no statistical significant differences in the length of labor and use of analgesics.ConclusionPrenatal acupuncture is likely to have positive effects on pregnant women, aside from an objective influence on labor duration and pain.

Published: February 2018

ObjectiveTo determine how best to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and targeted MRI/ultrasonography fusion biopsy for early detection of prostate cancer (PCa) in men with elevated prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) concentrations and whether it can be cost‐effective.MethodsA Markov model of PCa onset and progression was developed to estimate the health and economic consequences of PCa screening with MRI. Patients underwent PSA screening from ages 55 to 69 years. Patients with elevated PSA concentrations (>4 ng/mL) underwent MRI, followed by targeted fusion or combined (standard + targeted fusion) biopsy on positive MRI, and standard or no biopsy on negative MRI. Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI‐RADS) score on MRI was used to determine biopsy decisions. Deaths averted, quality‐adjusted life‐years (QALYs), cost and incremental cost‐effectiveness ratio (ICER) were estimated for each strategy.ResultsWith a negative MRI, standard biopsy was more expensive and had lower QALYs than performing no biopsy. The optimum screening strategy (ICER $23 483/QALY) recommended combined biopsy for patients with PI‐RADS score ≥3 and no biopsy for patients with PI‐RADS score <3, and reduced the number of screening biopsies by 15%. Threshold analysis suggests MRI continues to be cost‐effective when the sensitivity and specificity of MRI and combined biopsy are simultaneously reduced by 19 percentage points.ConclusionsOur analysis suggests MRI followed by targeted MRI/ultrasonography fusion biopsy can be a cost‐effective approach to the early detection of PCa.
Different concentrations and volumes of p‐phenylenediamine in pet. (equivalent doses) are associated with similar patch test outcomes: a pilot study
Authors: Andersen Flemming , Hamann Carsten R. , Andersen Klaus E. , Hamann Dathan , Sager Eric , Hamann Curtis 
Published: February 2018

SUMMARYBackgroundConcern about causing active sensitization when patch testing is performed with p‐phenylenediamine (PPD) 1% pet. has led to a recommendation to use PPD 0.3% pet. as a potentially safer preparation. However, the dose per area of allergen delivered, and hence the risk of active sensitization, depend on the amount dispensed into the patch test chamber, which can vary widely.ObjectiveTo evaluate whether patch testing with equivalent doses of different concentrations of PPD in pet. is associated with similar outcomes.MethodsSeventeen known PPD‐sensitive subjects were patch tested with different volumes and concentrations of PPD in pet. that deliver the same allergen dose per unit area (6 mg of PPD 1% pet. and 20 mg of PPD 0.3% pet. in Finn Chambers®, both equivalent to ∼ 0.09 mg/cm2).ResultsEleven patients (65%) had positive reactions to both doses; 4 patients (24%) had negative results [percentage agreement of 88% (15/17)]. One patient each had a positive reaction to only one dose.ConclusionsThe 88% concordance suggests that dose per unit area is more important in determining reactions to allergens than the excipient volume dispensed. Patch testing with a smaller volume of 1% PPD may be a reasonable alternative to testing with 20 mg of 0.3% PPD.
