Blending Strategic Expertise and Technology: A Case Study for Practice Analysis
Authors: Belwalkar Bharati B. , Schultz Matthew , Curnow Christina , Setzer J. Carl 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThere is a growing integration of technology in the workplace (World Economic Forum), and with it, organizations are increasingly relying on advanced technological approaches for improving their human capital processes to stay relevant and competitive in complex environments. All professions must keep up with this transition and begin integrating technology into their tools and processes. This paper centers on how advanced technological approaches (such as natural language processing (NLP) and data mining) have complemented a traditional practice analysis of the accounting profession. We also discuss strategic selection and use of subject‐matter experts (SMEs) for more efficient practice analysis. The authors have adopted a triangulation process—gathering information from traditional practice analysis, using selected SMEs, and confirming findings with a novel NLP‐based approach. These methods collectively contributed to the revision of the Uniform CPA Exam blueprint and in understanding accounting trends.
Risk price decomposition and the output gap
Authors: Sakemoto Ryuta 
Published: May 2024

AbstractWe employ a time‐varying price of risk model that allows us to track the change in prices of risk. We find that the output gap generates the time‐varying prices of market and momentum risks, but the exposures to the output gap have the opposite signs. In contrast, we do not observe that the output gap is linked to time variations in the prices of value and investment risks. We uncover that the output gaps impact the prices of market risk for European and Japanese portfolios, while there are weak relationships between the prices of momentum risk and output gaps.

AimsThe association of sleep traits (insomnia, sleep duration, chronotype, daytime sleepiness, and snoring) with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is unclear. This research aimed to examine the effects of sleep traits on BPH risk.MethodsA total of 170 241 men aged 38 to 73 years from UK Biobank were included. An overall healthy sleep score was created based on five sleep traits. A Cox regression model was utilized to compute adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and population attributable fractions (PAFs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for BPH risk in relation to sleep traits.ResultsDuring a median of 12.0 years follow‐up, 13 026 incident BPH cases occurred. We observed that sleep duration (7–8 h/d; HR 0.95; 95% CI 0.92–0.99), no frequent insomnia (HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.69–0.74), and no frequent daytime sleepiness (HR 0.86; 95% CI 0.79–0.93) were significantly related to reduced BPH risk. Each one‐point increment of the healthy sleep score was related to a decreased BPH risk, with an adjusted HR of 0.90 (95% CI 0.89–0.92). The multivariable‐adjusted HR in men adopting five versus zero to one low‐risk sleep traits was 0.68 (95% CI 0.61–0.75) for BPH risk. Estimates of the PAF indicated that 9.1% (95% CI 5.8–12.5%) of BPH cases would be prevented if all individuals had adopted all five low‐risk sleep traits, assuming causality.ConclusionsOur study indicates an association between a healthy sleep pattern and a lower risk of BPH, emphasizing the importance of adhering to such patterns for potentially reducing BPH risk.

ZWEI ‘ACHTUNDVIERZIGER VON ALTEM SCHROT UND KORNʼ SCHREIBEN ÜBER DEN VÖLKERFRÜHLING: LOUISE ASTON, MAX RING UND IHRE DARSTELLUNG DER MÄRZREVOLUTION
Authors: Krisch Marek 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe following article compares two novels whose plots are set during the March Revolution of 1848. Berlin und Breslau, 1847–49 is the novel debut of Max Ring, a now largely forgotten writer and doctor of Jewish origin who came from Upper Silesia and became the author of numerous stories, novels and non‐fiction books in the second half of the nineteenth century. He often uses the location of Berlin. In the novel Revolution und Contrerevolution, Louise Aston – poet, author and women's rights activist from Gröningen – deals with revolutionary issues. Both books were published in 1849, at a time when the consequences of these events for the future were not yet entirely foreseeable. Both Aston and Ring were supporters of the revolution. In this paper, the perspectives and views of their characters or narrators as well as the issues of narrative strategies and focalisation are analysed and discussed. Of importance here are not only the gender‐specific differences between Louise Aston and Max Ring, but primarily, in addition to similarities such as generational affiliation, the differences in their literary expression and the articulation of their political views.

AbstractIntroductionTo systematically review the effect of probiotics on oral health during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances.MethodsPubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched up to August 2022 using broad MeSH terms and keywords. Randomized clinical trials comparing a probiotic with a control/no treatment; at least 10 patients/group undergoing fixed orthodontic therapy; and reporting at least one oral health‐related parameter were included.ResultsThe most reported parameters in the 14 included studies were the microbiological counts of mutans streptococci and lactobacilli, microorganisms associated with white spot lesions (WSL). A meta‐analysis of these showed a positive effect of probiotics on mutans streptococci. Probiotic treatment led to significantly less patients with high counts and significantly more with low counts of these bacteria. An effect on the lactobacilli counts was not seen. However, the sole clinical study investigating WSL could not demonstrate a clinical effect of probiotics on these lesions. Additionally, one study reported encouraging results of probiotics on bad breath and one on the occurrence of traumatic oral lesions. One study found reduced counts of Porphyromonas gingivalis in the probiotic group. The clinical results of probiotics on plaque index were ambiguous: one study reported that probiotics reduce the plaque and gingival index, and two that probiotics had no significant influence on plaque index.ConclusionProbiotics are a promising option to lower mutans streptococci counts in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic therapy. However, due to the heterogeneity of the studies, it is not possible to draw conclusions about one specific probiotic.
SPOUSAL LABOR SUPPLY, CAREGIVING, AND THE VALUE OF DISABILITY INSURANCE
Authors: Lee Siha 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis article evaluates the insurance value of the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program among married households when wives face a trade‐off between market hours and spousal care following their husbands' disability. Event study analyses show that wives' labor supply responses to their husbands' disability are small, and instead, a considerable amount of time is spent in spousal care. Using a dynamic structural model, I find that incorporating time loss due to spousal care increases the insurance value of SSDI relative to its costs. Finally, budget‐neutral policy reforms that subsidize the cost of care can improve social welfare.
Improving structured interview acceptance through training
Authors: Baumgartner Steve , Bartels Lynn , Levashina Julia 
Published: May 2024

AbstractDespite having predictive validity above other selection methods, structured interviews are not always used. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior as a framework, this study examines the role of interview training in increasing structured interview acceptance (SIA). Based on a survey of 190 practitioners in the fields of Human Resources, I‐O Psychology, and other professionals who conduct employment interviews, our results show that not all interviewer training programs are equally effective in increasing SIA. While participation in formal interviewer training is related to SIA, SIA could be influenced more by incorporating certain training components, including training on how to avoid rating errors (r = .21), learning how to evaluate interview answers (r = .19), interview practice/roleplaying (r = .17), training on job analysis (r = .15), legal issues (r = .15), background and purpose of the interview (r = .13), job requirements for the position(s) being filled (r = .13), and a discussion about interview verbal and nonverbal behaviors to avoid (r = .13). Additionally, we found that training components display different relationship with SIA across our two sub‐samples. For example, in the MTurk sample (i.e., composed primarily from a managerial population) including job analysis, how to evaluate answers, and how to avoid rating errors correlated significantly with SIA. However, in the non‐MTurk sample (i.e., composed primarily from a HR professional population), interview practice/role playing, rapport building, use of a videotaped interview to guide instructions, and how to make decisions from interview data correlated significantly with SIA. This highlights the importance of training needs analysis to better understand the audience before training. We suggest that organizations incorporate the identified components into interviewer training to enhance the structured interviews acceptance and ensure that interviewers are more likely to implement structured interview techniques in practice.

Published: May 2024

AbstractMetabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects over 30% of the global population, with a significant risk of advancing to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The roles of ammonia and glutamine in MASLD's pathogenesis are increasingly recognized, prompting this systematic review. This systematic review was conducted through a meticulous search of literature on December 21, 2023, across five major databases, focusing on studies that addressed the relationship between ammonia or glutamine and MASLD. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using CASP checklists. This study is officially registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42023495619) and was conducted without external funding or sponsorship. Following PRISMA guidelines, 13 studies were included in this review. The studies were conducted globally, with varying sample sizes and study designs. The appraisal indicated a mainly low bias, confirming the reliability of the evidence. Glutamine's involvement in MASLD emerged as multifaceted, with its metabolic role being critical for liver function and disease progression. Variable expressions of glutamine synthetase and glutaminase enzymes highlight metabolic complexity whereas ammonia's impact through urea cycle dysfunction suggests avenues for therapeutic intervention. However, human clinical trials are lacking. This review emphasizes the necessity of glutamine and ammonia in understanding MASLD and identifies potential therapeutic targets. The current evidence, while robust, points to the need for human studies to corroborate preclinical findings. A personalized approach to treatment, informed by metabolic differences in MASLD patients, is advocated, alongside future large‐scale clinical trials for a deeper exploration into these metabolic pathways.

Published: May 2024

AbstractNitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) metabolism is becoming an increasingly complex process during urbanization due to increasing rates of consumption and emission worldwide. Understanding the urban N and P metabolism helps identifying production capacity, consumption demand, and the impact of N and P emissions on the environment, providing a scientific basis for decision‐making in sustainable utilization of N and P resources. Quantifying and mapping the source, path, and sinks of N and P in an urban system is the premise of controlling emissions. In this paper, we used the substance flow analysis (SFA) method to describe the N and P metabolism processes in the urban system of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) in 2017, and used the scenario‐based analysis method to understand the impact of different N and P metabolisms on potentially recoverable N and P sources by 2030. The results showed that the urban system of Dar es Salaam receives a total input flow of 28,101.8 tN/year and 3,379 tP/year, with a total output flow of 18,859.6 tN/year and 1,849.3 tP/year with net stock changes of 9,242.2 t/year for N and 1,529.7 t/year for P, respectively. We noticed that increased human activities largely represented the city's waste released after the household consumption, and would become the main causes of N and P emissions. In addition to this, 59.38%, 31.25%, and 9.38% of N flow quantification quality were at high, medium, and low levels, respectively, while 74.07%, 11.11%, and 14.81% of P flow quantification quality were at high, medium, and low levels, respectively. Our results suggest that implementing integrated nutrient management measures, such as changes in people's diets and the use of washing products, and improved management and technologies of manure, sewage, and landfill leachate treatment, would be the most effective approach to resolve the urban nutrient emissions in Dar es Salaam.

Published: May 2024

AbstractThe evolution of cities follows distinct patterns that connect to the cultural and socioeconomic aspects of their populations and can be understood by studying their urban stocks. This paper examines the evolution of construction materials stocks (MS) in the building sector in five urban areas in Peru. The study employed a bottom‐up methodology and focused on the city of Abancay in the Peruvian Andes, comparing it to the coastal cities of Chiclayo, Tacna, and San Isidro, as well as Lince. Additionally, regression models were employed to examine the influence of socioeconomic factors associated with urban stock. The research highlights a transition from residential building stock to distinct patterns of socioeconomic development, with urban population and economic growth emerging as pivotal drivers of material stock variation. Notably, large coastal cities like Chiclayo, Tacna, San Isidro, and Lince exhibit significantly higher concrete MS per capita, albeit with varying growth rates. In contrast, Abancay, with lower income levels, displays a higher per capita level of adobe MS, reflecting its historical connection to Peru's heartland. The correlation of urban stock components with the human development index (HDI) emphasizes the latter's significance in understanding the trends of the stocks of the different construction materials that constitute a city. By examining MS in various locations, unique Peruvian traits are unveiled, offering insights for urban development in the Global South. These findings provide valuable guidance for aligning urban stock growth and related environmental burdens with socioeconomic development, fostering sustainability, and promoting rational planning for economic growth.

Published: May 2024

AbstractAimTo investigate the current status of chewing ability and analyze the risk factors among Chinese community‐dwelling older adults.MethodsIn this cross‐sectional study, color‐changeable gum and a color difference meter were used to assess chewing ability in the population. The statistical analysis employed multivariate logistic regression models to identify and quantify the factors influencing chewing ability.ResultsA total of 373 community‐dwelling adults aged 65 and older in Chengdu, in the west of China, were included in this study; 64 individuals (17.2%) exhibited signs of poor chewing ability. Female (odds ratio [OR]: 0.124, 95% CI: 0.057–0.268, p < .001), education level with college degree and above (OR: 0.114, 95% CI: 0.030–0.434, p = .001), number of teeth less than 20 (OR: 5.401, 95% CI: 2.509–11.626, p < .001), and decreased oral diadochokinesis (OR: 4.445, 95% CI: 1.775–11.132, p = .001) were significant factors in chewing ability in this study, after adjustment for potential variables.ConclusionsThe prevalence of decreased chewing ability among Chinese community‐dwelling older adults was 17.2% and decreased chewing ability was associated with men, lower education level, less than 20 teeth and decreased oral diadochokinesis.
Tracheostomy care of non‐ventilated patients and COVID considerations: A scoping review of clinical practice guidelines and consensus statements

Published: May 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe purpose of this study is to examine and evaluate the existing clinical practice guidelines and consensus statements regarding tracheostomy care for non‐mechanically ventilated patients.MethodsA systematic search of databases, and professional organisations was conducted from inception to 19 March 2023. Two appraisers evaluated each guideline using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation II (AGREE II) and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist for Text and Opinion Papers.ResultsNo specific clinical guidelines exist on airway management in non‐mechanically ventilated patients. Of 6318 articles identified, we included 12 clinical practice guidelines, and 9 consensus statements, which were from China, the US, the UK, South Korea, Australia, France and Belgium. The AGREE II scores in six domains are (1) the scope and purpose, 70.30%; (2) stakeholder involvement, 37.61%; (3) rigor of development, 33.97%; (4) clarity of presentation, 68.16%; (5) applicability, 44.23% and (6) editorial independence, 40.06%. The overall quality of evidence was level B. The summarised recommendations for clinical practice encompass the following six areas: airway humidification, management of the trach cuff, management of inner cannula, tracheostoma care, tracheostomy suctioning and management and prevention of common post‐operative complications.ConclusionsThe overall quality of the clinical guidelines on non‐ventilated tracheostomy care was moderate, and further improvements are needed in domains of stakeholder involvement, applicability, clarity of presentation and editorial independence. Recommendations on non‐ventilated tracheostomy care are often embedded in the guidelines on ventilated tracheostomy. Specific clinical guidelines are needed to provide a standardised approach to tracheostomy care for non‐ventilated patients.Relevance to clinical practicePatients with non‐ventilated tracheostomy need specialised airway management. Improving patient outcomes requires standardised protocols, patient involvement, quality evaluation, and interdisciplinary approaches.No patient or public contributionThe study reviewed clinical practice guidelines and consensus statements, therefore patient or public input was not needed.
A balance of unsafe care incidents and interactive cooperative care: A constructivist grounded theory study of safe care ecosystem for older inpatients

AbstractAimsTo explore older inpatients and their caregivers' care experience and how this relates to the gerontology care practice.BackgroundResearch interest in the conceptualization of safe care for older inpatients was growing, and these studies were predominantly reported from a single or healthcare perspective. There is a shortage of literature on how patients and their caregivers conceptualise safe care.DesignConstructivist grounded theory.MethodsStage 1 included semi‐structured interviews with inpatients. Stage 2 included semi‐structured interviews with caregivers and six field notes. Purposive and theoretical sampling were used to recruit 61 participants across six healthcare institutions. Data analysis included initial coding, focused coding, and theoretical coding using constant comparative, field notes and memo writing.ResultsThe substantive theory to emerge from the data was A balance of unsafe care incidents and interactive cooperative care. This core concept was informed by four categories: unsafe care incidents, interactive cooperative care, person‐centred care, contextual conditions, and one care outcome. The relationships between these categories constituted a balance in which patient‐centred care was the core, unsafe care incidents were the barriers, interactive cooperative care was the facilitator, and the result of the balance was the care outcome. The balance constituted a safe care ecosystem under the interaction of contextual conditions.ConclusionsInteractive cooperative care is vital in enabling care stakeholders to reduce unsafe care incidents, which facilitates them in achieving safe care and further constructing a healthy care ecosystem.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThis theory identifies barriers and facilitators encountered by care stakeholders to cope with everyday problems and guides them in developing personalised care plans to ensure patient safety.
