Authors: Westgate Kate , Gonzales Tomas I. , Hollidge Stefanie , Lindsay Tim , Wareham Nick , Brage Søren 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACTIntroductionEstimating free-living physical activity (PA) with continuous heart rate (HR) monitoring is challenging due to individual variation in the relationship between HR and energy expenditure. This variation can be captured through individual calibration with graded exercise tests, but structured tests with prescribed load requires medical screening and are not always feasible in population settings. We present and evaluate an individual calibration method using HR response to a less demanding self-paced walk test.Methods643 participants from the Fenland Study (Cambridgeshire, UK) completed a 200-meter self-paced walk test, a treadmill test, and one week of continuous HR and accelerometry monitoring. Mixed effects regression was used to derive a walk test calibration model from HR response to the walk using treadmill-based parameters as criterion. Free-living PA estimates from the calibration model were compared with treadmill-calibrated as well as non-exercise calibrated estimates.ResultsThe walk calibration model captured 57% of the variance in the HR-energy expenditure relationship determined by the treadmill test. Applying the walk calibration method to data from free-living yielded similar PA estimates to those using treadmill calibration (52.7 vs 52.0 kJ·kg-1·day-1; mean difference: 0.7 kJ·kg-1·day-1, 95% CI: −0.0, 1.5) and high correlation (r=0.89). Individual differences were observed (RMSE: 10.0 kJ·kg-1·day-1; 95% limits of agreement: −20.6, 19.1 kJ·kg-1·day-1). Compared to using a non-exercise group calibration model (RMSE: 14.0 kJ·kg-1·day-1; 95% limits of agreement: −30.4, 24.5 kJ·kg-1·day-1), the walk calibration improved precision by 29%.ConclusionsA 200-meter self-paced walk test captures a significant proportion of the between-individual variation in the HR-energy expenditure relationship and facilitates estimation of free-living PA in population settings.

Authors: Atkins Jill Frances , Doni Federica , McBride Karen , Napier Christopher 
Published: September 2023

PurposeThis paper seeks to broaden the agenda for environmental and ecological accounting research across several dimensions, extending the form of accounting in this field by encouraging research into its historical roots and developing a definition of accounting that can address the severe environmental and ecological challenges of the 21st century.Design/methodology/approachThe authors explored environmental and ecological accounts from the dawn of human consciousness across a wide variety of media and in a broad range of forms. This theoretical approach reacts to the cold capitalist commodification of nature inherent in much environmental accounting practice, which documents, values and records usage of natural capital with little attempt to address depletion and loss.FindingsBy analysing the earliest ecological and environmental “accounts” recorded by humans at the dawn of human consciousness, and considering a wide array of subsequent accounts, the authors demonstrate that rather than being a secondary, relatively recent development emerging from financial accounting and reporting, environmental and ecological accounting predated financial accounting by tens of thousands of years. This research also provides a wealth of perspectives on diversity, not only in forms of account but also in the diversity of accountants, as well as the broadness of the stakeholders to whom and to which the accounts are rendered.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper can be placed at the intersection of accounting history, the alternative, interdisciplinary and critical accounts literature, and environmental and ecological accounting research.Practical implicationsPractically, the authors can draw ideas and inspiration from the historical forms and content of ecological and environmental account that can inform new forms of and approaches to accounting.Social implicationsThere are social implications including the diversity of accounts and accountants derived from studying historical ecological and environmental accounts from the dawn of human consciousness especially in the broadening out of the authors' understanding of the origins and cultural roots of accounting.Originality/valueThis study concludes with a new definition of accounting, fit for purpose in the 21st century, that integrates ecological, environmental concerns and is emancipatory, aiming to restore nature, revive biodiversity, conserve species and enhance ecosystems.
“Transformation or not?” the effect of broadcasters' role orientation transformation on their direct income
Authors: Li Pengyu , Shao Jingbo , Wu Hang 
Published: September 2023

PurposeIn the actual livestreaming background, to obtain more income, some broadcasters will transform their original single role orientation into mixed one. This research study aims to conduct an empirical study on the influence of the broadcasters' role orientation transformation on the viewers' tipping behavior.Design/methodology/approachThe authors collect data from Kuai, a leading online live streaming service provider in China. The dataset includes 175,701 live streaming data from 971 broadcasters in 7 months. To avoid unobservable factors, the authors adopt two difference-in-differences (DID) models to estimate the effect of two kinds of broadcaster's role orientation transformation on the broadcaster’s direct income separately. And the authors use the Heckman-type correction to solve broadcasters’ self-selected problem.FindingsThe authors evaluated that there is a U-shape relationship between the broadcasters' role orientation transformation and their direct income. The broadcasters' direct income experienced a sharp decline for a short period of time after transformation and followed by a rise after a period of adaptation. And for broadcasters with different genders and amounts of fans, the influence degree of role orientation transformation is various.Originality/valueThis paper provides a fresh usage of the regulatory engagement theory in the brand new information communication technology. And it also explores the boundary effect of the participating object's self-factors in the regulatory engagement theory. Besides, this paper expands the research of livestreaming into natural background. Such results also provide operable suggestions for the livestream platform, the broadcaster himself and the enterprises who want to employ some broadcasters to recommend their products.

Published: September 2023

PurposeOver the last two decades, there has been a significant increase in incivility within the higher education sector, potentially due to mounting pressure and demands on academics, both collectively and individually. The effects on various aspects of academia, such as knowledge and learning, however, remain largely unexplored. The purpose of this research is to fill the gap by performing a theoretical trend analysis and subsequently empirically investigating the impact of workplace incivility on research scholars’ learning engagement and knowledge sharing intentions, including the mediating role of self-esteem.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a three-stage methodological process: first, a thorough theoretical (bibliographic) analysis of scientific publications, using Biblioshiny, to identify the trends of workplace incivility; second, an empirical, qualitative exploration of the emergent themes and subthemes based on 102 in-depth interviews with research scholars, using NVivo 12 Plus; and third, quantitative testing, using 154 responses and structural equation modeling.FindingsThe authors verify a visible negative association between incivility and learning engagement, incivility and knowledge sharing intentions as well as self-esteem’s mediating effect on this relationship. Also, the thematic analysis revealed three distinct themes: the type of incivility; reasons for such incidences; and the impact of such incidences on research scholars.Research limitations/implicationsThe research bears implications both to theory and practice. Regarding the former, the gravity and graveness of incivility versus knowledge and learning, within the academic workplace environment, are not simply highlighted, but analyzed and refined, with explicit findings of both scholarly and practicable worth; that also provide solid foundations and avenues for future research.Originality/valueFurther to its primary findings, the research contributes to extant knowledge by elucidating and explicating the topic, both theoretically and empirically, as well as by presenting implications for theory and practice. Regarding practical implications, this research sheds light on how to develop an appropriate organizational culture that facilitates learning engagement and increases knowledge sharing intentions, by nurturing the identified explicit and underlying motivators of civility.
Spillover effects of liquidity management in major economies and China's digital economy-driven countermeasures
Authors: Wang Jueshuai 
Published: September 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to enhance the Global Projection Model (GPM) developed by the International Monetary Fund by constructing a GPM4 model that includes the United States of America, the Eurozone, Japan and China.Design/methodology/approachThis article introduces the United States of America, the Eurozone, Japan and China into a comprehensive global forecasting model, analyzing the impact of liquidity management in G3 economies on nine key macroeconomic variables in China.FindingsThe findings reveal that the liquidity management strategies employed by major economies do exert a certain influence on China's major macroeconomic variables. Different types of liquidity shocks elicit varying effects. Monetary shocks exhibit the strongest instantaneous impact, while credit conditions and policy rate shocks contribute more significantly to China's long-term macroeconomic fluctuations. However, no single shock stands out as the dominant factor.Originality/valueThis paper attempts to expand the GPM model developed by the International Monetary Fund and build a GPM4 model including China, the United States of America, the Eurozone and Japan. For the first time, the GPM model was used to analyze the spillover effects of liquidity management in major economies on China's macroeconomy and revealed the impact of non-price factors such as credit conditions on China's macroeconomic variables.

PurposeThis study extends the current literature in the context of European countries by showing that women's participation on the board can enhance the financial performance of a company while moderated by many cultural factors.Design/methodology/approachThis study examines 19 European countries throughout the period 2010–2020. The time-invariant or individual fixed-effect models are used.FindingsThe authors found that high power distance and masculinity undermine the impact of board gender diversity on firm performance. The gender-diverse board reports a statistically significant negative impact on return on asset (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) while moderated by the power distance index.Originality/valueThis research will be of significant value to the board directors, practitioners and the concerned authority who desire to polish up the firm performance of European countries that are governed by cultural norms.

Published: September 2023

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of hybrid learning, blended learning and face-to-face learning in remediating misconceptions among primary school teacher education students.

Design/methodology/approach
This research uses a quasi-experimental design, using a quantitative approach. Data were collected from 99 students using a pretest and posttest four-tier test.

Findings
Hybrid learning proved to be the most effective, achieving a remarkable 90.32% success rate in remediating students’ misconceptions, surpassing blended learning and face-to-face learning methods.

Research limitations/implications
The data come from a single Indonesian university and focuses only on a science concept; therefore, the scope of findings may be limited.

Practical implications
The research suggests that applying the conceptual change (CC) model in all learning types, particularly hybrid learning, effectively remediates misconceptions. Educators can use this insight to design impactful teaching strategies that combine online and traditional components, accommodating diverse learning styles and needs.

Social implications
This research suggests that applying CC model in all learning types is actually able to remediate misconceptions, though hybrid learning is found to be the most effective one.

Originality/value
This study addresses a research gap by investigating the effectiveness of different learning modes in rectifying misconceptions. Although prior studies have explored learning modes, few have directly compared hybrid, blended and face-to-face learning in correcting misconceptions. The findings offer insights for effective teaching strategies to address STEM-related misconceptions, benefiting educators in optimizing their approaches. Furthermore, the study’s implications extend to the broader academic community, contributing to evidence-based teaching practices in science education and the development of effective strategies for addressing misconceptions in STEM courses.

Published: September 2023

AbstractImmune‐mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a distinct type of idiopathic inflammatory myositis, pathologically characterized by myofiber necrosis and degeneration in the absence of lymphocyte infiltration. Herein, we present a case of IMNM with concomitant development of Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease (KFD), characterized by histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, in a 36‐year‐old woman who had a treatment history for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Treatment with oral prednisolone and tacrolimus as immunosuppressants resulted in the remission of the skeletomuscular involvement and lymphadenopathy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of IMNM and KFD developing concomitantly during the clinical course of RA.
Systematic review: non‐invasive prognostic tests for primary sclerosing cholangitis
Authors: Mazhar Areej , Russo Mark W. 
Published: September 2023

SummaryBackgroundSeveral prognostic tests for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) have been developed, including biochemical models, elastography and magnetic resonance imaging scores.AimTo conduct a systematic review of non‐invasive prognostic tests for PSC.MethodsA systematic review was conducted from 1987 to 2020 of blood tests, biochemical models, elastography and imaging scores associated with outcomes in PSC.ResultsForty studies of prognostic tests that collectively included 16 094 subjects with PSC were reviewed, of which 26 studies of non‐invasive tests including 13 759 subjects with PSC were included. Normalisation or reduction of alkaline phosphatase with or without therapy was associated with transplant‐free survival and reduced risk of hepatobiliary cancers but cut‐off values for alkaline phosphatase were not consistent among studies. The most studied prognostic biochemical model was the Mayo Risk Score (MRS) evaluated in 18 studies with a c‐statistic from 0.63 to 0.85 for clinical outcomes. One study demonstrated that the UK‐PSC score outperforms MRS for predicting clinical outcomes with a c‐statistics of 0.81and 0.75 respectively. A transient elastography score greater than 11.1 kPa is associated with survival and liver‐related complications. The Anali score, derived from specific MRI and MRCP features, is associated with the development of cholangiocarcinoma and decompensated cirrhosis. Promising prognostic models include the enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) score, ELF test and PREsTo scores.ConclusionMRS is the most studied prognostic score for clinical outcomes in PSC but the UK‐PSC score and PREsTo have better test performance. Further studies comparing MRS to UK‐PSC score, PREsTo or ELF with elastography or imaging‐based scores are warranted.

SummaryBackgroundA defined bacterial mixture could be a safer alternative to faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT).AimsTo compare the efficacy of a 12‐strain mixture termed rectal bacteriotherapy with either FMT or vancomycin for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in an open‐label 3‐arm randomised controlled trial.MethodsWe screened all individuals positive for C difficile from May 2017 to March 2019. Persons with laboratory‐confirmed recurrent CDI were included. Before FMT and rectal bacteriotherapy, we pre‐treated with vancomycin for 7‐14 days. Rectal bacteriotherapy was applied by enema on three consecutive days and FMT by enema once with possible repetition for two to three infusions within 14 days. The vancomycin group was treated for 14 days with additional five weeks of tapering for multiple recurrences. The primary outcome was clinical cure within 90 days. A secondary outcome was 180‐day all‐cause mortality.ResultsParticipants in the FMT group (n = 34) were cured more often than participants receiving vancomycin (n = 31), 76% vs 45% (OR 3.9 (1.4‐11.4), P < 0.01) or rectal bacteriotherapy (n = 31), 76% vs 52% (OR 3.0 (1.1‐8.8), P = 0.04). Rectal bacteriotherapy and vancomycin performed similarly (P = 0.61). The mortality rate was 6% in the FMT group, 13% in the bacteriotherapy group and 23% in the vancomycin group. FMT tended to reduce mortality compared with vancomycin, OR 0.2 (0.04‐1.12), P = 0.07.ConclusionsRectal bacteriotherapy appears as effective as vancomycin but less effective than 1‐3 FMTs. FMT by enema with 1‐3 infusions is superior to vancomycin for treating recurrent C difficile infections and might reduce mortality.

SummaryBackgroundThe World Health Organization (WHO) set a goal to eliminate hepatitis C (HCV) infection globally by 2030, with specific targets to reduce new viral hepatitis infections by 80% and reduce related deaths by 65%. However, an overlooked aspect that may hinder these efforts is the impact other liver diseases could have by continuing to drive liver disease progression and offset the beneficial impact of DAAs on end‐stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In particular, the decrease in HCV prevalence has been countered by a marked increase in the prevalence of metabolic‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).AimsTo review the potential interaction of HCV and MAFLD.MethodsWe have reviewed the literature relating to an arrange of interaction of HCV, metabolic dysfunction and MAFLD.ResultsIn this viewpoint, international experts suggest a holistic and multidisciplinary approach for the management of the growing number of treated HCV patients who achieved SVR, taking into consideration the overlooked impact of MAFLD for reducing morbidity and mortality in people who have had HCV.ConclusionsThis will strengthen and improve the continuum of care cascade for patients with liver disease(s) and holds the potential to alleviate the cost burden of disease; and increase quality of life for patients following DAAs treatment.
A systematic review on the effect of routine outcome monitoring and feedback on client outcomes in alcohol and other drug treatment

Published: September 2023

AbstractIssuesRoutine outcome monitoring (ROM) involves regularly measuring clients' outcomes during treatment, which can then be fed back to clinicians and/or clients. In the mental health field, ROM and feedback have been shown to improve client outcomes; however, no systematic reviews have examined whether improvement is also seen in alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment outcomes. This review examines whether feedback to clients and/or clinicians of ROM data in AOD treatment improves future client outcomes.ApproachThis systematic review of papers identified in Medline, PsycInfo and Scopus examines the effect on client outcomes of feeding back ROM data to clinicians and/or clients in AOD treatment settings. Key client outcomes included substance use, treatment attendance and wellbeing measures.Key FindingsTen studies were included—five randomised controlled trials and five pre–post within‐subjects designs. Six studies were deemed good‐ or fair‐quality. Of these six, three provided feedback to clinicians only, one to clients only, and two to both clients and clinicians. Only one of the six found feedback was associated with significant reductions in substance use and only among off‐track clients. Four of the six found feedback improved other outcomes, including treatment retention, global functioning, therapeutic alliance and mood symptoms.ConclusionsThere may be some positive effects for clients of providing feedback to clients and/or clinicians; however, the small number of randomised trials and the heterogeneity of methods, outcome measures and findings, mean that firm conclusions cannot be drawn about the efficacy of feedback until larger randomised studies are conducted.
