Purpose
– Interprofessional education (IPE) is a method to create an environment that fosters interprofessional communication, understanding the roles and responsibilities of each profession, learning the skills to organize and communicate information for patients, families and members of the health care team. Providing IPE to health professional students can prepare them in the workforce to have the necessary skills to function in a collaborative practice ready environment. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the methods used in developing IPE curriculum, faculty training as debriefers/facilitators, identify learning objectives and outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach
– The faculty and student surveys utilized a Likert scale. Learning objectives for the student survey assessed learning objective including communication of roles and responsibilities, communication and organization of information, engagement of other health professions (HP) in shared patient-centered problem solving, interprofessional assessment of patient status, and preparation of patients from transition of care to home. The faculty survey assessed faculty experience levels in IPE, role as facilitator/debriefer, and future needs for sustainability of the program.

Findings
– Student evaluation of IPE simulation experience revealed students believed they improved their interprofessional communication skills and had a better understanding of health professional roles and responsibilities. Faculty feedback indicated that HP students achieved learning objectives and their continued commitment to IPE however additional training and development were identified as areas of need.

Practical implications
– This paper can assist other educational institutions in developing IPE and structuring IPE assessment particularly in the HPs.

Social implications
– The public health care will be impacted positively by having health care providers specifically trained to work in teams and understand collaborative care. Student graduates in the HPs will be better prepared to function as a team in real clinical care following their participation in interprofessional simulation.

Originality/value
– This interprofessional simulation curriculum involves student learners from eight different HPs and participation of over 30 faculty from differing professions. This curriculum is unique in its bread and depth of collaboration and true teamwork across disciplines.
Knowledge at the boundary between science and society: a review of the use of farmers’ knowledge in agricultural development
Authors: Girard Nathalie 
Published: September 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper was to build a review of the various management processes of this knowledge in this domain, with the aim of identifying research topics and perspectives for knowledge management (KM) within the boundaries between science and society. At the boundary between science and society, the development of agricultural systems is grounded in various innovation processes that are currently being challenged by sustainability issues. In particular, farmers’ knowledge is emphasized today in various reports and scientific studies as a way of designing more sustainable agricultural systems.Design/methodology/approach– A literature analysis was performed on a database built from the Web of Science and 273 scientific article abstracts were qualitatively analyzed.Findings– Four KM strategies on the basis of the objectives of these papers, the arguments used to justify the study of farmers’ knowledge (FK) and the position of the authors in relation to this knowledge were built. These strategies can be broken down as follows: assessing FK to improve it; documenting FK to capitalize or legitimize it in development processes; using FK as a resource for innovation; and facilitating the sharing of various sources of knowledge to increase the efficiency of development projects.Research limitations/implications– Because the four KM strategies show a relative genericity, research perspectives for each of them, some of which were related to the KM community and some of which extended the focus on political, legal or sociological aspects of knowledge production processes at the boundary between science and society, were drawn.Practical implications– The four categories of KM strategies revealed the importance of legitimization processes of practitioners’ knowledge when dealing with innovation at science–society boundaries, whereas such processes are often neglected by classical KM methodologies.Social implications– This work questions the category of “practitioners’ knowledge”, stressing the need to go beyond the dichotomy between scientific and empirical knowledge and to recognize the hybrid nature of knowledge. It also shatters the myth that local knowledge is more sustainable than science-driven innovations, arguing for more KM efforts at the boundary between science and society.Originality/value– Even if farmers’ knowledge has been used since the 1970s to promote more endogenous innovation processes as opposed to classical science-driven innovation processes, no review has yet been done of the use of farmers’ knowledge in the development of agricultural systems.
Solicitation of experts in an undetermined environment: the case of a polar exploration
Authors: Bootz Jean-Philippe , Lievre Pascal , Schenk Eric 
Published: September 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to understand the solicitation of outside experts in the upstream phase of innovation projects, which fall within the scope of the exploration and which take place within a context of radical uncertainty: how are these experts identified, selected and mobilised? While companies are compelled to manage exploration projects, the processes underlying the expansion of knowledge in these projects are not well known.Design/methodology/approach– Based on the literature, this paper first presents a conceptual view of the notion of expert. Then, the research question is analyzed by means of a case study of a polar expedition. The project leader seeks a knowledgeable person who has never been identified as an expert, but whose knowledge is essential.Findings– The expert appears both in his cognitive and social dimensions. Moreover, he emerges out of the situation, on the basis of neither strong nor weak signals. The rationality of expert solicitation falls within a pragmatic logic where the acquired knowledge must reduce the uncertainty so that the project can progress. The learning process enables to increase gradually the knowledge of the actor but also to build the legitimacy required in order to have access to the expert.Practical implications– Findings can be translated in more general situations. Indeed, polar expeditions projects and exploratory innovation projects (Garel and Lièvre, 2010) possess some common characteristics: lack of knowledge concerning, timing issues, need to implement a pragmatic, enquiry-based learning. These projects strongly rely on external expert knowledge. This case study suggests that, while it may be useful, planning should not strictly define the course of action. A central competence of the project leader is to manage the duality between planning and adaptation. This implies the ability to adapt, to detect and to assess human resources and knowledge flows rapidly, as well as to weave social links inside and outside the organisation.Originality/value– The existing literature offers a comprehensive view of experts in an organisation. However, the questions of expert selection and identification remain open. This paper fills a gap in the literature concerning the way experts are identified and selected. The case study shows that identifying experts does not solely depend on weak signals (reputation) or on strong signals (the expert’s social status). Rather, the expert emerges in the situation, in an unexpected way. The expert’s social dimension is not sufficient and one must look to the cognitive roots of the expertise. On the other hand, the fact is emphasised that the expert is a social construct which emerges from the solicitation process.
Terrain classification for terrain parameter estimation based on a dynamic testing system
Authors: Yang Fan , Lin Guoyu , Zhang Weigong 
Published: September 2015

Purpose
– This paper aims to gain the real-time terrain parameters of the battlefield for the evaluation of military vehicle trafficability. In military missions, improvements in vehicle mobility have the potential to greatly increase the military operational capacity, in which vehicle trafficability plays a significant role.

Design/methodology/approach
– In this framework, an online terrain parameter estimation method based on the Gauss-Newton algorithm is proposed to estimate the primary terrain mechanical parameters. Good estimation results are indicated, unless the initial values involved are properly selected. Correspondingly, a method of terrain classification is then presented to contribute to the selection of the initial values. This method uses the wavelet packet transform technique for feature extraction and adopts the support vector machine algorithm for terrain classification. Once the terrain type is identified, advices can be given on the initial value selection referring to the empirical terrain parameters.

Findings
– On the basis of a dynamic testing system suitable for real military vehicles, the proposed algorithms are validated. High estimation accuracy of the terrain parameters is indicated on sandy loam, and good classification performance is demonstrated on four tested terrains.

Originality/value
– The presented algorithm outperforms the existing methods, which not only realizes the online terrain parameter estimation but also develops the estimation accuracy. Moreover, its effectiveness is confirmed by real vehicle tests in practice.

Published: September 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to report the study of vibration energy harvesting from a data center (DC) mainframe computer to power nodes of a wireless sensors network (WSN are used to improve the energy efficiency of a DC).

Design/methodology/approach
– The piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (VEH) has been designed using an electromechanical analytical model. The VEH is composed of a three-layer cantilever beam with a tip mass. A vibration map (amplitude and acceleration) is presented and the authors show that the optimum frequency is around 90 Hz with maximum amplitude of 1 μm and maximum acceleration of 0.6 m/s2. Modeling results and experimental measurements using an electromagnetic shaker to apply vibrations concord.

Findings
– The VEH delivers a maximum power of 31 μW on a DC mainframe computer and 2.3 mW at 1g on a test rack. It allows us to use a storage capacitance to successfully power a wireless sensor node for measuring temperature. This paper has been carried out in cooperation with IBM Montpellier and within the framework of the RIDER project financed by the French government and the European Union.

Originality/value
– A vibration map (amplitude and acceleration) is presented and the authors show that the optimal frequency is around 90 Hz with maximum amplitude of 1 μm and maximum acceleration of 0.6 m/s2. The VEH delivers a maximum power of 31 μW on DC mainframe computer and 2.3 mW at 1 g on test mounted the shaker.

Application of orthogonal design to optimize flow pattern transition conditions
Authors: Hou Hailing , Yue Shihong , Huang Xiaoguang , Wang Huaxiang 
Published: September 2015

Purpose
– This paper aims to discuss flow pattern transition (FPT) as an important factor in multiple-phase flow measurements. Several methods have been proposed to control FPT, but those methods fail to address the many issues in complex flow conditions that can affect flow patterns.

Design/methodology/approach
– In this paper, a non-intrusive sensor instrumentation is applied to extract measurable data under different flow conditions. Using these data, a simple theoretical–mathematical method along with an orthogonal design is applied to FPT optimization. Orthogonal experiments are designed and carried out according to theoretical guidelines. Three selected process parameters – phase fraction, gas pressure in the initial independent process and liquid speed – are optimized for FPT results to produce a minimum FPT time.

Findings
– The following results are obtained: the phase fraction in the initial independent process can lead to significant reductions in FPT time, gas pressure plays an important role and liquid speed has no apparent effect on FPT results. Under optimized conditions, FPT time can be shortened to 0.3-0.6 times by controlling the above three parameters compared with normal conditions.

Originality/value
– The proposed method is simple, rapid and efficient for evaluating an FPT process and lays the foundation for further FPT applications.

Authors: Hassanbeiglou Alireza , Kalantari Masoud , Mozaffari Elaheh , Dargahi Javad , Kövecses József 
Published: September 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new tactile array sensor into the medical field to enhance current robotic minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) procedures that are still limited in scope and versatility. In this paper, a novel idea is proposed in which a tactile sensor array can measure rate of displacement in addition to force and displacement of any viscoelastic material during the course of a single touch. To verify this new array sensor, several experiments were conducted on a diversity of tissues from which it was concluded that this newly developed sensory offers definite and significant enhancements.

Design/methodology/approach
– The proposed array sensor is capable of extracting force, displacement and displacement rate in the course of a single touch on tissues. Several experiments have been conducted on different tissues and the array sensor to verify the concept and to verify the output of the sensor.

Findings
– It is shown that this new generation of sensors are required to distinguish the difference in hardness degrees of materials with viscoelastic behavior.

Originality/value
– In this paper, a new generation of tactile sensors is proposed that is capable of measuring indentation time in addition to force and displacement. This idea is completely unique and has not been submitted to any conference or journal.

Institutional Pressures to Provide Social Benefits and the Earnings Management Behavior of Nonprofits: Evidence from the U.S. Hospital Industry
Authors: Vansant Brian 
Published: September 2015

AbstractThis study examines the relationship between institutional pressures to provide social benefits and the discretionary accrual behavior of nonprofit firms. I examine this issue within the context of U.S. nonprofit hospitals, an economically significant and politically rich setting where firms face considerable institutional pressure to provide an important social benefit: charity care. I argue that institutional pressures on nonprofits to provide higher levels of social benefits imply that lower profits should be reported. I develop theory and provide evidence which suggests that, due to competing private incentives to report higher profits, nonprofit managers strategically use discretionary accruals to increase accounting earnings when the social benefits their firms have provided in the current period exceed external stakeholders' normative expectations. The findings from this study inform the ongoing political debate regarding the appropriateness of tax exemptions for U.S. nonprofit hospitals and should therefore be of interest to both regulators and policymakers. In addition, this study provides timely insights for researchers regarding how institutional pressures can affect managers' reporting behaviors in other settings where similar competing reporting incentives exist between managers' private benefits and stakeholder expectations related to social benefits.

Published: September 2015

ObjectiveDespite current diagnostic systems distinguishing schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) as separate diseases, emerging evidence suggests they share a number of clinical and epidemiological features, such as increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. It is not well understood if poor cardiac autonomic nervous system regulation, which can be indexed non‐invasively by the calculation of heart rate variability (HRV), contributes to these common CVD risk factors in both diseases.MethodWe calculated HRV in 47 patients with SZ, 33 patients with BD and 212 healthy controls. Measures of symptom severity were also collected from the patient groups.ResultsHeart rate variability was significantly reduced in both these disorders in comparison with the healthy participants; however, there were no HRV differences between disorders. Importantly, these reductions were independent of the medication, age or body mass index effects. There was also preliminary evidence that patients with reduced HRV had increased overall and negative psychosis symptom severity regardless of SZ or BD diagnosis.ConclusionWe suggest that HRV may provide a possible biomarker of CVD risk and symptom severity in severe mental illness. Thus, our results highlight the importance of cardiometabolic screening across SZ and bipolar spectrum disorders.
Oztag: high risk for hand injuries?
Authors: Raymond Andrew , Harish Varun , Merten Steve 
Published: September 2015

AbstractBackgroundOztag is an Australian tag rugby code in which opponents are ‘tackled’ by removing Velcro tabs from their shorts. It is assumed to be safer than other higher‐contact rugby codes.MethodsOztag‐related hand injuries were identified by a word search of the electronic emergency department records of Concord Repatriation General Hospital from January 2011 to October 2013. Clinical records were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsTwenty‐eight presentations were identified. Mean age of patients was 24 years (range 13–38). Injuries included fractures, dislocations and ligamentous injuries, in isolation or combination. The most common injuries were middle phalangeal fractures (six), all of which required operative fixation. No tendon avulsions were identified. The most common mechanism of injury was attempted tackle, which was much more likely to require operative management than any other mechanism (70% versus 14%, P = 0.010).ConclusionsWhile the prevalence of Oztag‐related hand injuries may be low, the occurrence of potentially debilitating injuries in a young, working population raises concern. The ‘tag’ tackle, which involves players running at speed with outstretched fingers, is particularly high risk. Prospective audit of injuries is required and players and organizers should be made aware of the dangers of this ‘low‐contact’ sport.

Published: September 2015

AbstractAimTo examine the influence of two different neck designs on facial bone crest dimensions in esthetic single implant sites after a 5‐to‐9‐year follow‐up analyzed by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).Materials and methodsSixty‐one patients with an implant‐borne single crown following early implant placement in the esthetic zone were enrolled. The test group consisted of a bone level (BL) neck design exhibiting a hydrophilic micro‐rough surface combined with a platform‐switching interface (PS) (n = 20). The control group comprised a soft tissue level (STL) neck design exhibiting a hydrophobic machined surface with a matching butt‐joint interface (n = 41). Standardized clinical, radiologic, and esthetic parameters were applied. The facial bone crest dimensions were assessed byCBCT.ResultsSoft tissue parameters and pink esthetic scores yielded no significant differences between the two designs. Major differences were only observed at the implant shoulder level. The height of the facial bone crest for theBLdesign was located 0.2 mm above the implant shoulder level, whereas for theSTLdesign, its location was 1.6 mm below. The width of the peri‐implant saucer‐like bone defect was reduced by 40% for theBLimplant design. No differences were observed 2 mm below the shoulder level.ConclusionsThe results of this comparative study suggest better crestal bone stability on the facial aspect of single implant sites in the esthetic zone for aBLdesign with a platform‐switching concept when compared withSTLimplants with a butt‐joint interface.
