Development of a Customer Experience‐Based Brand Strategy for the Lenovo Group to Explore the UK Market
Authors: Yin Yuanyuan , Holland Ray , Qin Shengfeng , Wu Weicheng 
Published: June 2010

AbstractSince acquiring IBM's personal computing (PC) division, Lenovo has focused on exploring the UK market as part of its internationalization program. This paper presents the development of a customer experience‐based brand strategy for the Lenovo Group to explore the UK market. The key question in this study is how Lenovo uses customer experience design as a basis for creating an effective brand strategy to fully understand customer needs and develop a share in the UK market. The brand strategy was developed from user behavior, experience analysis, and brand development analysis. The customer analysis data have been collected through questionnaire, interview, and observational surveys. The authors adopt Cope and Schmitt's theoretical framework of customer behavior analysis and brand development process analysis as an underlying structure. The authors conceptualize a framework based on customer experience design of PCs, integrating specific analysis of details of customer experience during the PC purchasing process. The analysis led to the identification of the key factors related to the UK PC market environment, customer behavior, and the brand development process. The study established a new brand strategy that has been evaluated and will be integrated into the company's current brand strategy.

Authors: Emery C A , Meeuwisse W H 
Published: June 2010

BackgroundSoccer is a leading sport for participation and injury in youth.ObjectiveTo examine the effectiveness of a neuromuscular prevention strategy in reducing injury in youth soccer players.DesignCluster-randomised controlled trial.SettingCalgary soccer clubs (male or female, U13–U18, tier 1–2, indoor soccer).ParticipantsEighty-two soccer teams were approached for recruitment. Players from 60 teams completed the study (32 training (n=380), 28 control (n=364)).InterventionThe training programme was a soccer-specific neuromuscular training programme including dynamic stretching, eccentric strength, agility, jumping and balance (including a home-based balance training programme using a wobble board). The control programme was a standardised warm-up (static and dynamic stretching and aerobic components) and a home-based stretching programme.Main outcome measuresPreviously validated injury surveillance included injury assessment by a study therapist. The injury definition was soccer injury resulting in medical attention and/or removal from a session and/or time loss.ResultsThe injury rate in the training group was 2.08 injuries/1000 player-hours, and in the control group 3.35 injuries/1000 player-hours. Based on Poisson regression analysis, adjusted for clustering by team and covariates, the incidence rate ratios (IRR) for all injuries and acute onset injury were 0.62 (95% CI 0.39 to 0.99) and 0.57 (95% CI 0.35 to 0.91). Point estimates also suggest protection of lower extremity, ankle and knee sprain injuries (IRR=0.68 (95% CI 0.42 to 1.11), IRR=0.5 (95% CI 0.24 to 1.04) and IRR=0.38 (95% CI 0.08 to 1.75)).ConclusionsA neuromuscular training programme is protective of all injuries and acute onset injury in youth soccer players.
Medication management in people with Parkinson’s disease during surgical admissions
Authors: Derry C P , Shah K J , Caie L , Counsell C E 
Published: June 2010

Abstract

Background
Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) may experience problems in hospital, with their medication being withheld or inappropriate medication being prescribed. Since surgical admissions present particular risks, the authors examined the management of patients with PD on surgical wards.

Methods
All patients with PD admitted to surgical departments in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary during an 18-month period were identified. Medical and nursing notes were reviewed retrospectively, and drug prescription and administration were studied in detail. All documented complications were recorded.

Results
59 surgical admissions (51 receiving PD medication, median duration 6 days) were studied. 71% had missed doses of PD medication, with 34% missing over 10% of prescribed doses. Values were similar for levodopa and agonists. Overall, 12% of all prescribed PD medication was missed (mean 0.7 missed doses per patient per day). No reason for missed doses was recorded in 64% of cases, while inappropriate reasons included ‘out of stock’ (12%) and ‘nil by mouth’ (8%). Centrally acting antidopaminergic drugs (mainly antiemetics) were prescribed in 41% of cases, and administered in 22%. Complications, most commonly neuropsychiatric, were documented in 69% of non-day-case admissions.

Conclusion
Poor prescribing and incomplete drug administration are common in patients with PD on surgical wards. Measures to improve management are identified.
Senior paediatric specialist registrars' experience in management
Authors: Bindal Taruna , Wall David , Goodyear Helen M 
Published: June 2010

Abstract

Background
There is an increasing focus on trainees acquiring management skills which form part of college curricula and the guidance provided by the General Medical Council in the UK.

Objective
To explore the managerial learning activities of senior paediatric specialist registrars (SpRs).

Design, setting, participants
Questionnaire study; West Midlands region, UK; senior paediatric SpRs in the last 2 years of training.

Methods
A 17 item questionnaire was sent by post to all 45 paediatric SpRs in the last 2 years of training. A follow-up email was sent to non-responders.

Results
87% (39/45) SpRs completed a questionnaire. All had participated in clinical managerial activities with 44% (17/39) doing ≥4 h per week. Popular activities were teaching and development of treatment guidelines. Non-clinical managerial experience, mainly rota management and teaching programme organisation, was limited with 64% (25/39) doing ≤30 min per week. 10% (4/39) SpRs had no experience. SpRs rated clinical and non-clinical management training as important, but only a third felt confident in managing projects or leading change. Factors which inhibited management learning were shift patterns and being too busy.

Conclusions
It is essential that trainees put managerial competencies in their personal development plans and have support from their supervisors to put this plan into action, including allocated time for management training and learning. At a trainee’s annual review of progress, management competencies need to be considered as well as clinical work as these are needed for a smooth transition to a consultant post.
Endoscopic ultrasound: a review of current diagnostic and therapeutic applications
Authors: Godfrey Edmund M , Rushbrook Simon M , Carrol Nicholas R 
Published: June 2010

Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has become important in a variety of clinical settings. Echoendoscopes may be categorised into radial and linear configurations. Radial devices are used for diagnostic imaging, whereas linear echoendoscopes also facilitate image guided tissue sampling and intervention. EUS is an established primary diagnostic tool for a number of conditions including choledocholithiasis and biliary microlithiasis. It is therefore well suited to the investigation of the aetiology of pancreatitis where simpler measures fail to identify the aetiology. It can also be used to identify chronic non-calcific pancreatitis. EUS is important in the secondary evaluation of abnormalities detected by other imaging modalities—for example, cystic pancreatic lesions. The high resolution of EUS allows more detailed image based analysis than other imaging modalities. The ability to sample cyst fluid significantly increases the accuracy of lesion characterisation. Most importantly, EUS has become indispensable in the staging of a variety of upper gastrointestinal tract tumours. If resection is being considered, the high resolution images obtained via EUS are invaluable for local tumour staging. EUS guided tissue sampling permits accurate nodal staging without relying on lymph node size as proxy for malignant infiltration. In patients with contraindications to magnetic resonance imaging, EUS is an alternative for the staging of rectal carcinoma. It is used in the staging of lung cancer, often in combination with endobronchial ultrasound. Finally, EUS is used therapeutically in image guided drainage (such as gastrocystostomy in pancreatic pseudocyst) and coeliac plexus neurolysis in patients with abdominal pain caused by pancreatic cancer or pancreatitis.
Lithoprobe’s impact on the Canadian diamond-exploration industryThis article is one of a series of papers published in this Special Issue on the theme Lithoprobe — parameters, processes, and the evolution of a continent.Earth Sciences Sector Contribution 20070261; Lithoprobe Contribution 1479.

Lithoprobe aided and will continue to guide diamond exploration in Canada via a number of diverse ways and at scales from cratons to individual ore bodies. Specific transects outlined the domainal nature, geometry, and age relations of crust, subjacent mantle, and diamond-bearing roots in unusually rich detail for cratonic settings such as those of the Superior and Slave cratons, as well as pericratonic (shield) settings such as those of the Sask craton and Buffalo Hills terrane. The Superior and Slave examples of craton construction by multiple underthrust layers, as inferred from structural geometries observed in Lithoprobe seismic and magnetotelluric surveys, remain the clearest resolved to date. The first definition of the Sask craton occurred 10–15 years ago and helped fuel the diamond industry’s ongoing revision of Clifford’s Rule for exploration so as to include targets in Proterozoic shield settings. Main Lithoprobe transect results and supporting geoscience studies have helped to demonstrate the very different settings for paragenesis of both peridotitic and eclogitic types of diamonds found across Canada. Seismic methods have delineated many of the the oldest, typically depleted cratonic mantle blocks, as well as Archean and Proterozoic sutures, where larger percentages of eclogite might occur. Development of geophysical methods related to Lithoprobe data acquisition has led to metre-scale, high-resolution mapping of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes and shallow-dipping dykes, thus allowing more accurate estimates of their volume and more efficient mining of these diamond deposits.
Subduction zone recycling processes and the rock record of crustal suture zonesThis article is one of a series of papers published in this Special Issue on the theme Lithoprobe — parameters, processes, and the evolution of a continent.

Offshore observations at modern ocean-margin subduction zones (OMSZs) reveal that bodies of accreted material are commonly volumetrically small or missing, that crustal thinning and subsidence (3–5 km) has occurred, and that most trench axes lie close (5–30 km) to the seaward tapering edge of coastal basement rock. Onshore mapping commonly documents missing or only narrow terranes of former forearc rock and the inboard migration of the arc magmatic front. These observations are evidence that subduction is accompanied by the removal of sediment and crustal material from the submerged forearc by the kindred tectonic processes, respectively, of sediment subduction and subduction erosion. Subduction erosion truncates the margin (migrates the trench inboard) at ∼2.5 km/Ma. Onshore observations at ancient crust-suturing subduction zones (CSSZs) imply that collisional suturing is accompanied by sediment subduction and truncation of both upper and lower plates. During a protracted period of suturing (20–50 million years), a 100–200 km wide (or wider) band of the seaward edge of each plate can be removed subductively. Truncation of the upper plate is effected by subduction erosion, and that of the lower plate by the necking and break-off of its subducted edge. The average linear rate of crustal loss for each plate is estimated at ∼1.5 km/Ma, or ∼3 km/Ma combined. Because significant crustal loss occurs before and during tectonic fusing of colliding crustal blocks, structures and rock bodies that might be expected to record a former OMSZ and the formation of a CSSZ may be absent, unimpressively small, or preserved only as exhumed masses of once deeply subducted material.
The Lithoprobe trans-continental lithospheric cross sections: imaging the internal structure of the North American continentThis article is one of a series of papers published in this Special Issue on the themeLithoprobe — parameters, processes, and the evolution of a continent.Lithoprobe Publication 1487.

Three lithospheric cross sections provide a continental-scale synthesis of more than two decades of coordinated multidisciplinary research during the Canadian Lithoprobe project. The sections are based on seismic reflection and refraction data combined with a broad range of geological, geochemical, geochronological, and geophysical data. The dataset is derived from remnants of nearly every kind of tectonic regime, and the geologic history of the entrained rocks spans the Present to the Mesoarchean. The longest of the three cross sections is located within a 6000 km long Trans-Canada corridor traversing the North American continent at 45°N–55°N. From west to east, the profile crosses the Juan de Fuca ridge and active Cascadia subduction zone, the Cordilleran, Albertan, and Trans-Hudson orogens, the Superior Province, the Midcontinent rift, the Grenville and Appalachian orogens, and the Atlantic passive margin. The two northern cross sections include (i) a 2000 km long corridor in northwestern Canada (54°N–63°N) crossing the Cordilleran, Wopmay, and Slave orogens; and (ii) a 1600 km long corridor in northeastern Canada (52°N–61°N) crossing the New Quebec and Torngat orogens, the Nain craton, and the Makkovik and Grenville orogens. The unprecedented scale of the cross sections illuminates the assembly of the North American continent. Relationships between orogens are emphasized; plate collisions and accretions have sequentially stacked orogen upon orogen such that the older crust forms basement to the next younger. The large-scale perspective of these regional sections highlights the subhorizontal Moho that is indicative of either structural or thermal re-equilibration (or both), as few crustal roots beneath orogens are preserved. In contrast, heterogeneities in the lithospheric mantle suggest that, in certain situations, relict subducted or delaminated lithosphere can remain intact beneath and eventually within cratonic lithospheric mantle.
ANDERSON LOCALIZATION IN THE SEVENTIES AND BEYOND
Authors: Thouless David 
Published: June 2010

Little attention was paid to Anderson's challenging paper on localization for the first ten years, but from 1968 onwards it generated a lot of interest. Around that time a number of important questions were raised by the community, on matters such as the existence of a sharp distinction between localized and extended states, or between conductors and insulators. For some of these questions the answers are unambiguous. There certainly are energy ranges in which states are exponentially localized, in the presence of a static disordered potential. In a weakly disordered one-dimensional potential, all states are localized. There is clear evidence, in three dimensions, for energy ranges in which states are extended, and ranges in which they are diffusive. Magnetic and spin-dependent interactions play an important part in reducing localization effects. For massive particles like electrons and atoms the lowest energy states are localized, but for massless particles like photons and acoustic phonons the lowest energy states are extended. Uncertainties remain. Scaling theory suggests that in two-dimensional systems all states are weakly localized, and that there is no minimum metallic conductivity. The interplay between disorder and mutual interactions is still an area of uncertainty, which is very important for electronic systems. Optical and dilute atomic systems provide experimental tests which allow interaction to be much less important. The quantum Hall effect provided a system where states on the Fermi surface are localized, but non-dissipative currents flow in response to an electric field.

Published: June 2010

Abstract
A reaction of [{Cp*IrCl(μ-Cl)}2] (Cp* = η5-C5(CH3)5) with 1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanone oxime (PyNOH) afforded the cationic oxime complex [Cp*IrCl(PyNOH)]Cl (3) with an acidic OH group at the β-position to the metal center. Complex 3 underwent reversible deprotonation to give the corresponding oximato complex [Cp*IrCl(PyNO)] (4), while treatment of 3 with silver triflate in acetonitrile led to the formation of the dicationic complex [Cp*Ir(PyNOH)(CH3CN)][OTf]2 (5, OTf = OSO2CF3). The detailed structures of 3–5 have been determined by X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
Mixed-metal Prussian-blue nanoparticles, FexNiy[Fe(CN)6]2·zH2O (x + y = 3, z = 8–12), were dispersed into n-butanol by hybrid surface modification with hexacyanoferrate(II) ions, [FeII(CN)6]4−, and n-hexylamines. In their transparent dispersion solutions, a systematic bathochromic shift of charge-transfer bands due to the FeII–CN–FeIII components was observed depending on the metal composition ratios of Fe and Ni.

Published: June 2010

Objectives. The evidence to date for a causal role of emotions in the generation of paranoid symptoms is scarce, mainly because of a lack of studies investigating the longitudinal association between emotional processes and paranoia. The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether momentary emotional experiences (anxiety, depression, anger/irritability) and self‐esteem predicted the onset and duration of a paranoid episode. We also studied whether levels of emotional experiences and self‐esteem were respectively higher and lower during a paranoid episode. Design. A 1‐week, prospective momentary assessment study. Methods. Data were collected using the experience sampling method, a structured self‐assessment diary technique. The sample consisted of 158 individuals who ranged across the paranoia continuum. Participants with a psychotic disorder were recruited from in‐patient and out‐patient mental health services. Participants without psychotic disorder were sampled from the general population. Results. Specific aspects of emotional experience were implicated in the onset and persistence of paranoid episodes. Both an increase in anxiety and a decrease in self‐esteem predicted the onset of paranoid episodes. Cross‐sectionally, paranoid episodes were associated with high levels of all negative emotions and low level of self‐esteem. Initial intensity of paranoia and depression was associated with longer, and anger/irritability with shorter duration of paranoid episodes. Conclusions. Paranoid delusionality is driven by negative emotions and reductions in self‐esteem, rather than serving an immediate defensive function against these emotions and low self‐esteem. Clinicians need to be aware of the central role of emotion‐related processes and especially self‐esteem in paranoid thinking.

Extra-Oral Fistula Caused by a Dental Implant
Authors: Fujioka Masaki , Oka Kiyoshi , Kitamura Riko , Yakabe Aya , Endoh Hidehiko 
Published: June 2010

Abstract
Dental implantation has become an important procedure for both dental treatment and head and neck reconstructive surgery. However, this useful technique sometimes results in peri-implantitis. We describe a rare complication of peri-implantitis in the maxilla which extended to the soft tissue and caused an extra-oral fistula above the alar region. The patient underwent the placement of dental implants in the maxilla 8 years earlier. Radiography showed osteolysis of the maxilla and implant exposure. After the implants were removed, the patient was fitted with a conventional fixed partial denture. Such unfavorable outcomes are caused by failed endodontic and apicoectomy procedures.
The Microtomographic Evaluation of Marginal Bone Resorption of Immediately Loaded Scalloped Design Implant With Various Microthread Configurations in Canine Mandible: Pilot Study

Published: June 2010

Abstract
This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of microthread geometry of scalloped design implant on marginal bone resorption. Four types of scalloped design titanium implant specimens were prepared. The type 1 implant had a machined scalloped collar, type 2 had a sandblasted and acid-etched scalloped collar, type 3 had horizontal microthreads, and type 4 had parabolic microthreads, which are parallel with the scalloped conical margin. Two implants of a type were randomly installed immediately after extraction in the mandible of a beagle dog. Definitive prostheses were delivered immediately after surgery. After 12 weeks of healing, the dog was sacrificed and microtomography was performed. Type 4 specimens showed a marginal bone loss pattern definitively analogous to the scalloped margin. In this preliminary study, microthread geometry affected the marginal bone resorption pattern of scalloped design implants. However, additional specimens and more controlled conditions should be applied in future studies to confirm these results.
