Introduction.
Understanding how educational pathways may influence clinical competence and work responsibilities is important in providing guidance to academic and clinic stakeholders and physical therapists (PTs) on PT career development. The purpose of this paper was to compare perceived clinical competency and job duties between PTs with formal mentored postprofessional clinical education with PTs without formal postprofessional clinical education.

Review of Literature.
The understanding of self-perceived clinical competence of PTs overall in the United States is limited, especially as related to the impact of postprofessional education. Furthermore, there is limited understanding of the career pathways and development of job duties of PTs in the United States.

Subjects.
Two thousand three hundred thirty-four PTs in the United States.

Methods.
An online survey was sent to licensed PTs. This survey included items measuring self-perceived clinical competency and questions related to weekly job responsibilities. Participants were categorized as residency trained, fellowship trained, or non–residency/fellowship trained. Frequency analyses and Kruskal–Wallis tests with pairwise post hoc tests were performed comparing the 3 groups.

Results.
Residency-trained (P < .007) and fellowship-trained (P < .001) groups demonstrated elements of higher self-perceived clinical competency compared with the non–residency-/fellowship-trained group. Both the residency- and fellowship-trained groups spent less time with patient care and more time with other responsibilities (e.g., teaching, mentoring, and research) (P < .02) during an average workweek. Fellowship-trained PTs (P < .001) spent more time with administrative duties compared with the non–residency-/fellowship-trained group.

Discussion and Conclusion.
Results from this paper demonstrate that residency- and fellowship-trained PTs have elements of higher self-perceived clinical competency and spend more of their job duties outside of direct patient care compared with PTs who were not residency or fellowship trained. These results may help guide PTs, academic institutions, and employers in planning and achieving specific career paths.

Published: August 2023

Background:The Middle East and North Africa region, including Lebanon, is well known for its excessive cosmetics expenditure. While the use of beauty products is increasing, it is unclear if customers are aware of the products’ safety and proper use.Objective:To explore Lebanese women’s knowledge and attitudes toward cosmetics use.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to May 2021 among a sample of adult Lebanese women. Data were collected using an electronic questionnaire divided into 3 sections (sociodemographic characteristics, cosmetics knowledge, and attitude) and shared via social media platforms. Knowledge and attitude scores were then calculated. Descriptive and regression analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.Pvalue < .05 was considered statistically significant.Results:A total of 1,051 females completed the survey, and the age range of the majority 744 (70.8%) was between 18 and 20 years. The mean score of participants’ knowledge was 7.54 ± 2.7 (range 0–14) with 658 (62.6%) of the respondents being knowledgeable about cosmetics. The study sample exhibited an overall positive attitude toward cosmetics. A significant association was observed between the area of residency and monthly income of respondents and their knowledge toward cosmetic products (P< .001).Limitations:The self-administered questionnaire may have resulted in information bias and it targeted only those having internet access, and the age group 18 to 20 years was overrepresented.Conclusion:The study sample demonstrated a good level of knowledge as well as a positive attitude toward cosmetics. However, raising awareness on the acute and chronic side effects of cosmetics is warranted.
Prevalence of Anti-Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Antibodies (ASCA) in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). A Case-control Study

Published: August 2023

Background:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of gut-brain interaction that affects patients’ quality. Recent research has shown variations in the mycobiome of individuals with IBS, particularly involving Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and its association with dysbiosis and visceral hypersensitivity. However, the role of Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) in IBS remains unclear, despite their significance as markers of disease severity in inflammatory bowel disease.

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the role of ASCA in Mexican IBS patients compared with healthy controls (HCs) and determine whether these antibodies could help differentiate between IBS patients and healthy individuals.

Methods:
Serum samples from 400 IBS patients and 400 HC were analyzed. ASCA IgG levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The IBS patients were further categorized into subtypes: constipation predominant (IBS-C), diarrhea predominant (IBS-D), and mixed (IBS-M).

Results:
Among the participants, 66 IBS patients (16.5%) and 63 HC (15.75%) tested positive for ASCA IgG. No significant difference was observed in ASCA IgG levels between the 2 groups (P value: 0.8451). The prevalence of ASCA IgG positivity was 14.5% in IBS-C, 17.8% in IBS-D, and 15.9% in IBS-M.

Conclusion:
Surprisingly, a high prevalence of ASCA IgG was found in the HC group in Mexico. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in ASCA IgG levels between IBS patients and controls. These findings suggest that ASCA is not useful as a discriminatory biomarker for distinguishing IBS patients from healthy individuals and cannot serve as a surrogate marker for visceral hypersensitivity.

Objective:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Yttrium-90 Transarterial Radioembolization (TARE) to convert to resection initially unresectable, single, large (≥5 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Summary Background Data:
TARE can downsize cholangiocarcinoma to resection but its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resectability remains debatable.

Methods:
All consecutive patients with a single large HCC treated between 2015 and 2020 in a single tertiary centre were reviewed. When indicated, patients were either readily resected (Upfront-surgery) or underwent TARE. TARE patients were converted to resection (TARE-surgery) or not (TARE-only). To further assess the effect of TARE on the long and short-term outcomes, a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed.

Results:
Among 216 patients, 144 (66.7%) underwent upfront surgery. Among 72 TARE patients, 20 (27.7%) were converted to resection. TARE-surgery patients received a higher mean Yttrium-90 dose that the 52 remaining TARE-only patients (211.89 Gy ± 107.98 vs. 128.7 Gy ± 36.52, P<0.001). Post-operative outcomes between Upfront-surgery and TARE-surgery patients were similar. In the unmatched population, overall survival (OS) at 1, 3, and 5 years was similar between upfront-surgery and TARE-surgery patients (83.0%, 60.0%, 47% vs. 94.0%, 86.0%, 55.0%, P=0.43) and compared favourably with TARE-only patients (61.0%, 16.0% and 9.0%, P<0.0001). After PSM, TARE-surgery patients had significantly better OS than Upfront-surgery patients (P=0.021) while DFS was similar (P=0.29).

Conclusions:
TARE may be a useful downstaging treatment for unresectable localized single large HCC providing comparable short and long-term outcomes with readily resectable tumours.
Methanolobususe unspecific methyltransferases to produce methane from dimethylsulfide

Published: August 2023

AbstractDimethylsulfide (DMS) is the most abundant biogenic organic sulfur compound and a methane precursor in anoxic sediments. However, understanding of the microbial diversity driving DMS-dependent methanogenesis is limited, and the metabolic pathways underlying this process in the environment remain unexplored. To address this, we used anoxic incubations, amplicon sequencing, genome-centric metagenomics and metatranscriptomics of brackish sediments of the Baltic Sea. We identifiedMethanolobusas the dominant methylotrophic methanogens in all our sediment samples. We also showed thatMethanolobususe trimethylamine- and methanol-methyltransferases, not methyl-sulfide methyltransferases, when producing methane from DMS. This demonstrated that methylotrophic methanogenesis does not require a substrate-specific methyltransferase as was previously accepted and highlights the versatility of the key enzymes in methane production in anoxic sediments.

AbstractNeurulation is a highly synchronized biomechanical process leading to the formation of the brain and spinal cord, and its failure leads to neural tube defects (NTDs). Although we are rapidly learning the genetic mechanisms underlying NTDs, the biomechanical aspects are largely unknown. To understand the correlation between NTDs and tissue stiffness during neural tube closure (NTC), we imaged an NTD murine model using optical coherence tomography (OCT), Brillouin microscopy, and confocal fluorescence microscopy. Here, we associate structural information from OCT with local stiffness from the Brillouin signal of embryos undergoing neurulation. The stiffness of neuroepithelial tissues in Mthfd1l null embryos was significantly lower compared to that of wild-type embryos, while exogenous formate supplementation improved tissue stiffness and gross embryonic morphology in both nullizygous and heterozygous embryos. Our results demonstrate the significance of proper tissue stiffness for normal NTC and pave the way for future studies on the mechanobiology of normal and abnormal embryonic development.
Fit-for-work: mental health and alcohol indicators in male-dominated industries
Authors: Cameron Jacqui , Bothwell Steven W. , Pidd Ken , Lee Nicole 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
Risky alcohol use can reduce productivity at work and impact employees’ mental health and wellbeing. Several risk factors converge in male-dominated industries, which can increase risky drinking and deteriorate mental health. This paper aims to explore the prevalence of risky drinking and psychological distress in a male-dominated industry compared with that in the general population.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected from four manufacturing sites in Australia. In total, 450 workers were invited to participate in a survey that measured drinking behaviours using AUDIT-C and psychological distress using the K10, along with demographics including age, gender, job role and ethnicity. The observed outcome measures were compared with general population data available through publicly available data sets.

Findings
Surveys were returned by 341 employees, of which 319 completed AUDIT-C. AUDIT-C and K10 scores were significantly correlated (R = 0.31, p < 0.0001). Hazardous drinking was more prevalent among workers than in Australian general population (66.1% vs 23.6%). Binge drinking was greater among workers than in the general population (25.4% vs 26.5%). The difference was higher among female workers than among male workers (35.1% vs 10.8%).

Originality/value
The findings of this study show a significantly greater risk of alcohol-related harm among workers in male-dominated industries compared with that in the general population. This risk is more pronounced among women, who also experienced greater rates of moderate and high psychological distress compared with those experienced by the general population. A fitness-for-work approach is proposed to minimise alcohol-related harm among workers in male-dominated industries. Moreover, male-dominated industries are proposed to consider the interconnectivity of other workplace health and safety factors.
Outward foreign direct investment, dynamic capabilities and radical innovation performance: empirical evidence from Chinese high-tech companies
Authors: Zheng Xiyue , Wang Fusheng , Liu Shiyu , Wang Han , Zhang Dongchao 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to conduct an analysis of the influence of both the breadth and depth of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) undertaken by Chinese high-tech listed companies during the period spanning 2010–2019. The data pertaining to these companies was used as a research sample to analyze the effects of OFDI on radical innovation performance.

Design/methodology/approach
Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the proposed models, using survey data collected from 442 high-tech companies in China.

Findings
The findings of this study indicate a curvilinear (i.e. U-shaped) relationship between the breadth/depth of OFDI and radical innovation performance. Additional analysis reveals that OFDI plays a role in facilitating innovation breakthroughs by enhancing the internal dynamic capabilities of companies. Moreover, it is observed that a well-established institutional environment in the host country of investment can positively moderate the relationship between OFDI breadth/depth and radical innovation performance.

Originality/value
This study proffers a significant contribution to the understanding of the crucial role played by OFDI from emerging economy companies in enhancing radical innovation performance. Moreover, it offers theoretical guidance for multinational companies aiming to foster innovation breakthroughs.
Motivating language theory, the four frames, and change: an infused model
Authors: Holmes William T. 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
This conceptual paper aims to add context and support to the field of Motivating Language Theory around the area of change and transformation. With this paper, the direction and shape of the change within the field of Motivating Language Theory for practitioners and scholars alike has been expanded.

Design/methodology/approach
The design and approach of this conceptual paper is to expand upon the existing literature to create a new framework for organizational learning and a new model for leadership development to support change and change leadership through the integration of Kotter’s Stages of Change, Bolman and Deal’s Four-Frame Model, and Motivating Language Theory. The “methodology” is the infusion of the W. Author & S. Colleague Four-Frame-MLT model with the Bolman & Deal and Kotter – Four-Frame model into one seamless MLT supported/driven Four-Frame change model.

Findings
The findings of this conceptual paper are in the form of an integration table that integrates the Bolman and Deal (2021) Kotter Stages of Change and the Four Frames with Motivating Language Forms and Constructs based upon ideas and assertions (guidance) from the Kotter (2007) article. These findings highlight the three concrete steps of the infused model (1) identify the appropriate Stage of Change, (2) select the best frame or frames that address the stage of change, and (3) utilize the appropriate MLT form (action) and construct (language) to execute the change effectively.

Originality/value
The originality of this conceptual paper is in the fusion of Kotter’s Stages of Change, the Bolman and Deal Four-Frames, and Motivating Language Theory. The three components have not been brought together before this paper. In terms of value, this conceptual paper creates an opportunity for those in the real world to have a useful framework to explore change, action/communication, and leadership. For those in academic positions, this paper creates a new starting point for exploring motivating language theory and change.

Authors: Carle Heather , Scheuer Cara-Lynn , Swartz Stephanie 
Published: August 2023

PurposeThis study offers insight on the impact of virtual team projects (VTPs) of varying types (global vs domestic teams, technology vs non-tech projects) on competency and anxiety outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachPaired-sample t-tests and ANOVA tests were performed on student survey responses pre- and post-engagement of different VTPs.FindingsThe results demonstrated positive effects of VTPs on intercultural sensitivity (ISS), computer self-efficacy, perceived ease of use of online learning and COVID-19 anxiety. ISS (“interaction confidence”) improved more for students in the global vs. domestic teams and technology-related outcomes (CSE, PEU and computer anxiety) and ISS (“respect for cultural differences”) improved more for students that participated in tech projects, whereas COVID-19 anxiety lessened more for those that participated in non-tech projects.Originality/valueThe study expands understanding of the Technology Acceptance Model and provides insight into the ISS literature showing that VTPs could be a worthwhile pedagogical approach for improving student competencies and anxiety during times of academic disruption, but that project type can influence these changes.
Business strategy and the cost of equity: the mediating role of accounting information quality
Authors: Kwakye Teddy Ossei , Ahmed Kamran 
Published: August 2023

PurposeThe study examines the mediating role of accounting information quality (AQ), a proxy for firms' information risk, in firms' business strategy and the cost of equity (COE) nexus to highlight how AQ provides a mechanism through which a company's business strategy affects its COE.Design/methodology/approachThe research study utilises data from 12,100 firm-year observations of United States (US) non-financial firms from 2001 to 2017, drawn from multiple databases, and employs the bootstrapping method of mediation analysis to test the indirect effect of AQ on the business strategy–COE relationship. The authors rely on Miles and Snow's two pure business strategy typologies, prospectors and defenders and use innate accrual quality and implied COE models to measure AQ and COE, respectively.FindingsThe results suggest that AQ partially mediates the relationship between business strategy and COE. The authors document that while innovative-oriented prospector firms have a lower AQ and a higher implied COE, efficiency-oriented defenders are associated with a higher AQ and lower COE. The higher (lower) COE of prospector (defender) firms is observed to be partly due to their lower (higher) AQ. The results indicate that while the idiosyncratic risk implied in firms' strategic orientation can directly influence their COE, the business strategy implications on firms' COE can be indirect through their AQ, a source of information risk.Research limitations/implicationsDue to data limitation, it was not possible to measure all possible methods of measuring implied COE.Practical implicationsThe paper highlights the role of firm's business strategy in pricing decisions by investors.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the existing literature by providing evidence that AQ, a proxy for information risk, is a mechanism through which business strategy affects firms' COE. The authors thus complement extant literature to empirically test the information risk effect inherent in strategic orientation on security pricing.
“Friendly, local and welcoming” – evaluation of a community mental health early intervention service
Authors: Parry Sarah Louise , Eve Zarah , Stamou Vasileios , Brockway Alice , Di Basilio Daniela 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
Half of adulthood mental health challenges begin by the age of 14-years-old, making the need for early-intervention clear. This study aims to evaluate a new service model that promotes early-intervention through a community based low-intensity Hub.

Design/methodology/approach
Clinical data from 2,384 young people were analysed through within-group, pre- and post-comparisons and qualitative survey, and interview data was analysed through content analysis.

Findings
Overall, participants reported that they were highly satisfied with the Hub and the low-intensity brief interventions met their needs. Participants reported that learning new skills, having a place to talk and positive therapeutic relationships were beneficial. The Hub appeared to be less successful for young people with complex mental health difficulties. As a service, the adoption of the Hub model reduced waiting list times by more than half.

Research limitations/implications
The quantitative data demonstrated that engaging with the Hub reduced symptoms of psychological distress. Qualitative analyses suggest that access to local, community, welcoming and “less clinical” support was beneficial, and the type of brief interventions offered was less important than therapeutic relationships.

Originality/value
This is the first study of a novel “Hub” model for low-intensity brief interventions in a socio-economically deprived area of England. Local knowledge, community integrated support, therapeutic relationships and a welcoming environment were viewed as more beneficial than the type of brief interventions offered. Consequently, community spaces can be created to be therapeutic and beneficial for mental health outside of a traditional conceptualisation of clinical support.
The place of charity shops post Covid-19
Authors: Robinson Neil , Catahan Nicholas , Dale Crispin , Doran Chris 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
Charity shops have met a number of challenges in light of the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The paper aims to explore the economic and social impact of charity shops and reviews the transformative impact they have on place, the experience of place and the social environment.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper conducts a review of the extant literature in the field of charity shop retail. Considering the issues that are raised, the article proceeds to discuss the opportunities that arise for place marketing efforts and charity shops in the retail environment, the wider sector, the high street and as a positive, key component of place(s).

Findings
The paper provides novel sectorial insights and recommendations that can be adopted by charity retail outlets. This includes discussion on transformative place marketing, the experience of place and the charity shop’ role in the social environment beyond the existing references to charity shops in place(s) and the high street.

Originality/value
Charity shops play a vital role in society and yet they are an under researched field. The paper contributes knowledge on the role of charity shops in transforming and experiencing place. The paper concludes with observations made from the discussion on charity shops, and states areas for future research regarding the role of the charity shop and place marketing, place identity and transformation.
