Authors: Hayward Lorna M. , Markowski Alycia , Watkins Maureen K. , Maitland Murray E. , Manske Robert , Beneck George J. 
Published: April 2022

Introduction.
Physical therapists (PTs) have the autonomy and expertise to assume a more significant role in the primary care of musculoskeletal conditions, validate diagnoses, and serve as a referral source to appropriate health care providers. Ultrasound diagnostic imaging has been identified as a high-priority area to advance science and innovation in physical therapy. Yet, few PTs are certified to incorporate musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-US) as a diagnostic tool into their personal scope of practice. Diagnostic MSK-US has unique benefits compared with other imaging modalities, and recent technological advances have reduced its cost and improved portability. However, no research exists describing the learning experiences and decision-making process of PTs who use MSK-US for diagnostic purposes. In addition, the educational process for learning MSK-US is not standardized. The study's purpose was to describe the learning and practice-based use of MSK-US by PTs registered in musculoskeletal sonography (RMSK).

Methods.
Using purposive sampling, we attempted to recruit all 21 RMSK-certified PTs currently using diagnostic ultrasound in clinical practice across the United States. Sixteen PTs participated in the study. We employed a qualitative, multiple case study, phenomenological approach. Data were collected using an online demographic survey and one-on-one, semi-structured interviews.

Results.
Sixteen interviews were conducted with RMSK-certified PTs. Data synthesis resulted in 5 elements: 1) self-directed learning; 2) educational process; 3) honing the skill and the role of mentorship; 4) diagnostic information; and 5) clinical application.

Discussion and Conclusion.
Participants identified elements critical for post-entry level, life-long, applied learning and integrating diagnostic MSK-US into clinical practice. The participant learning process was self-directed and incorporated various materials and methods to improve diagnostic skills. Participants honed their skills through repetition and one-on-one mentorship. Supportive employment settings were integral for creating environments conducive to learning and integrating MSK-US into clinical practice. Our participants perceived that ultrasound imaging provided them with the missing visual dimension used to improve diagnostic capabilities, supporting the benefits of direct access.
Reducing length of stay for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement using a prescreening approach
Authors: Cusin Crystal N. , Clark Patricia A. , Lauderbach Claude W. , Wyman Janet 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
As transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) becomes a preferred treatment option for patients with aortic valve stenosis, and demand for TAVR increases, it is imperative that length of stay (LOS) is reduced while maintaining safety and effectiveness.

Local Problem:
As TAVR procedures have become less invasive and more streamlined, current protocols have not been updated to reflect today's postprocedure requirements.

Methods:
The next-day discharge (NDD) protocol was established using available literature. A convenience sample was evaluated for NDD protocol inclusion during aortic multidisciplinary team conference using predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Length of stay for NDD protocol participants was compared with LOS from a retrospective convenience sample of patients undergoing TAVR in the time frame mirroring NDD protocol initiation of the year prior.

Interventions:
Patients meeting inclusion criteria were enrolled in the NDD protocol with a goal of discharge to home on postprocedural day 1 by 2:00 p.m. The NDD protocol included preprocedure expectation setting, prescheduled same-day postprocedure imaging, and discharge priority on postprocedure day 1.

Results:
There is a significant difference in LOS between the NDD eligible retrospective and prospective groups. The prospective group has a significantly lower LOS than the retrospective group (M = 1.6 vs 2.1, respectively; p = .0454).

Conclusions:
An NDD protocol can help reduce LOS after TAVR in appropriately selected patients. Further protocol revision will be required to optimize LOS outcomes.

Authors: Wennerstrom Ashley , Sugarman Olivia K. , Page Karissa M. , Whittington Angel , Martin Dolfinette , Reilly Bruce , Bachhuber Marcus A. 
Published: April 2022

Background:
Over 600,000 people leave US prisons annually. Many are eligible for Medicaid upon release but may need support to enroll. Carceral facilities in nearly half of states have implemented systems to facilitate Medicaid access for those leaving incarceration, but there is limited information on program implementation models or outcomes.

Objectives:
To evaluate implementation and initial outcomes of Louisiana’s prison-based Prerelease Medicaid Enrollment Program.

Methods:
In this mixed-methods study, we assessed enrollment in Louisiana Medicaid at time of release from prison in the 2 years (2017–2018) after Program implementation, as well as reasons for Medicaid closure (ie, loss of coverage) and health services use 6 months postrelease. In May-June 2019, we conducted interviews statewide with program implementers (n=16) and focus groups in New Orleans, Louisiana with formerly incarcerated Program participants (n=16).

Results:
A total of 4476 people were included in the quantitative analysis. There was a 34.3 (95% confidence interval: 20.7–47.9) percentage point increase in Medicaid enrollment upon release. Nearly all (98.6%) attended at least 1 outpatient visit and almost half (46.7%) had 1 emergency department visit within 6 months of release. Not responding to information requests was the most common reason for Medicaid closure. Program implementers and formerly incarcerated participants identified Program strengths, barriers, and suggestions for improvement.

Conclusions:
The program was successful in rapidly increasing Medicaid enrollment at the time of prison release and facilitating the use of health care services.

Abstract
Readmission after inpatient care for a psychiatric condition is associated with a range of adverse events including suicide and all-cause mortality. This study estimated 30-day readmission rates in a large cohort of inpatient psychiatric admissions in New York State and examined how these rates varied by patient, hospital, and service system characteristics. Data were obtained from Medicaid claims records, and clinician, hospital, and region data, for individuals with a diagnosis of any mental disorder admitted to psychiatric inpatient units in New York State from 2012 to 2013. Psychiatric readmission was defined as any unplanned inpatient stay with a mental health diagnosis with an admission date within 30 days of being discharged. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios of being readmitted within 30 days were estimated using logistic regression analyses. Over 15% of individuals discharged from inpatient units between 2012 and 2013 were readmitted within 30 days. Patients who were readmitted were more likely to be homeless, have a schizoaffective disorder or schizophrenia, and have medical comorbidity. Readmission rates varied in this cohort mainly because of individual-level characteristics. Homeless patients were at the highest risk of being readmitted after discharge.

The Relationship Between Overqualification and Incident Diabetes: A 14-Year Follow-Up Study
Authors: Padkapayeva Kathy , Gilbert-Ouimet Mahée , Mustard Cameron , Glazier Richard H. , Smith Peter M. 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT

Objective
Recent research identified that workplace factors play a role in the development of diabetes mellitus (DM). This study examines the longitudinal association of work-related overqualification with the incidence of DM over a 14-year follow-up period.

Methods
We used data from the 2003 Canadian Community Health Survey linked to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan and the Canadian Institute for Health Information Discharge Abstract databases. Cox proportional hazards regression models were performed to evaluate the relationship between overqualification and the incidence of DM.

Results
Over the study period, there were 91,835 person-years of follow-up (median follow-up = 13.7 years). The final sample included 7026 respondents (mean [standard deviation] age at baseline = 47.1 [8.2]; 47% female). An elevated risk of DM was associated with substantial overqualification (hazard ratio = 1.58, 95% confidence interval = 1.01–2.49) after adjustment for sociodemographic, health, and work variables. Additional adjustment for body mass index and health behaviors attenuated this risk (hazard ratio = 1.30, 95% confidence interval = 0.81–2.08). Underqualification was not associated with the incidence of DM in adjusted regression models. We did not observe any statistical difference in the effects of overqualification on DM risk across sex or education groups.

Conclusions
This study adds to the growing body of research literature uncovering the relationships between work exposures and DM risk. The results from the study suggest that higher body mass index and, to a lesser extent, health behaviors may be mediating factors in the association between overqualification and incident DM. Further research on the association of overqualification with DM is warranted.

Authors: Wang Gang , Wang Zihan , Zhang Yue , Xu GuangTao , Zhao MingHao , Li Yanmin 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to find a new method to evaluate the hydrogen embrittlement performance of heterogeneous materials and thin film materials.

Design/methodology/approach
The changes of hydrogen embrittlement properties of steel were studied by electrochemical hydrogen charging test and scratch test. The microstructure and properties of the alloy were analyzed by hardness tester, scanning electron microscope and three-dimensional morphology. The fracture toughness before and after hydrogen charging was calculated based on the scratch method.

Findings
The results showed that the hydrogen-induced hardening phenomenon occurs in the material after hydrogen charging. The scratch depth and width increased after hydrogen charging. The fracture toughness obtained by the scratch method showed that hydrogen reduces the fracture toughness of the material. The comparison error of fracture toughness calculated by indentation method was less than 5%.

Originality/value
The results show that the scratch method can evaluate the hydrogen embrittlement performance of the material. This method provides a possibility to evaluate the hydrogen embrittlement of thin-film and heterogeneous materials.
Effective communication during organizational change: a cross-cultural perspective
Authors: Shrivastava Samir , Pazzaglia Federica , Sonpar Karan , McLoughlin Damien 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThere is a growing consensus about the role of communication in facilitating employees' acceptance of and support for organizational change initiatives. However, little is known about why communication breakdowns occur during change or how change recipients' cultural values can influence the effectiveness of communication in this context. The study addresses this gap.Design/methodology/approachThe authors develop a theoretical framework that links four purposes of communication during change—disrupting, envisioning, legitimizing, and co-creating—to change recipients' cultural orientations. The authors also develop propositions that highlight how change agents' cultural sensitivity influences the relationship between communication purpose and the change readiness of change recipients.FindingsThe study implies that greater awareness and consideration of cultural values can reduce the likelihood of communication breakdowns and promote greater acceptance of and support for change initiatives. The authors conclude by discussing the implications of their theoretical framework for micro-level perspectives on change.Practical implicationsAlthough failures to change have in the past been linked to poor communication efforts by change agents, less is known about how or why communication breakdowns occur from the perspective of change recipients. The framework teases out issues related to the “what”, ‘how”, and “why” aspects of communication and offers prescriptions on the best approaches to communicate change.Social implicationsDespite the rise of multicultural workforces and a recognition of the role played by cultural values in influencing leadership practices across cultures, theories of change have neglected these elements. Effective change efforts not only help enable economic and social renewal, they also enable the well-being of employees. Additionally, many change initiatives in the modern era have social implications (e.g. enhancing sustainability, inclusion and diversity).Originality/valueA key contribution is a synthesis of different bodies of literature that have developed separately from each other. The authors offer some nuanced and counter-intuitive insights into what makes communication effective during change and identify culturally sensitive communication as an antecedent of change readiness.
Study of the flow mechanism and influencing factors of sputum excretion from the distal lung
Authors: Jin Yongjun , Cui Haihang , Chen Li , Liu Zhe , Sun Kai 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanism of efficient sputum excretion from the distal lung by using a tessellationally distal lung model with alveolar pores.

Design/methodology/approach
First, a two-dimensional tessellational composite structure of the bronchus, alveoli and alveolar pores (Kohn pore) is constructed with the tessellational splitting and fusion of regular hexagonal elements. Then, the level set method is used to study the effects of alveolar pores and their sizes, expiratory cycles and respiratory intensity.

Findings
The existence of alveolar pores is the prerequisite for sputum excretion, and there is an optimal size of alveolar pores for sputum excretion. Strong asymmetric respiration can break the reversibility of the flow at a low Reynolds number and causes significant net displacement of sputum. The expiratory cycle is negatively correlated with the net displacement of sputum. The respiratory intensity is positively correlated with the net displacement of sputum.

Originality/value
This research is helpful for understanding the complex sputum excretion process in diseases, such as pneumonia, and developing corresponding adjuvant therapy.
Joule heating in squeezed flow of hybrid nanomaterial via FDM with Cattaneo–Christov (C–C) heat flux
Authors: Muhammad Khursheed , Hayat Tasawar , Ahmad Bashir 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
This study aims to explore the combined impacts of velocity and thermal slips on hybrid nanomaterial (GO+Ag+kerosene oil) bounded between two parallel infinite walls (plates). Both the walls are separated by a distance. The upper wall is subjected to squeezing with velocity, while the lower wall stretches with velocity. A uniform magnetic field acts normally to the flow. Moreover, heat transmission is analyzed in the presence of Joule heating. Heat transport characteristics are investigated by imposing the Cattaneo–Christov (C–C) heat flux model. The behavior of velocities, skin friction and temperature under sundry variables are examined graphically.

Design/methodology/approach
The obtained partial differential equations (PDEs) related to the considered problem are nondimensionalized by choosing appropriated variables. These nondimensional PDEs are then solved by the numerical technique, finite difference method (FDM). For implementation of this method, the obtained nondimensional PDEs are converted into finite difference equations (FDEs) using forward difference (FD) toolkits.

Findings
Velocity of the hybrid nanomaterial decreases with higher Hartman number and velocity slip parameter, while it increases with increase in Reynolds and squeezing numbers. Temperature of the hybrid nanomaterial increases for large Hartman number, Eckert number and squeezing parameter, while it is reduced by higher thermal slip parameter, thermal relaxation time parameter and nanoparticle volume fractions for graphene oxide (GO) and silver (Ag). Skin friction is controlled through higher Reynolds number, while it intensifies with nanoparticle volume fractions for GO and Ag.

Originality/value
Here, the authors have investigated 2D flow of hybrid nanomaterial bounded between two parallel walls. The lower and upper walls are subjected to stretching and squeezing, respectively. The authors guarantee that all outcomes and numerical technique (FDM) results are original, neither submitted nor published in any journal before.

Authors: Abiola Omowumi Temitope , Idowu Michael Ayodele , Shittu Taofeek Akinyemi , Onabanjo Oluseye Olusegun , Oke Emmanuel Kehinde 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fried peanut cracker snacks coated with wheat (80%) and cassava (20%) composite flours.

Design/methodology/approach
The peanuts were sorted, boiled, drained, roasted, coated and fried at temperature of 150–180°C for 154.6–240 s. The fried peanut cracker-coated (FPCC) snacks produced were analyzed for proximate composition (moisture, crude fat, crude protein, crude fibre, total ash and carbohydrate contents), rancidity indices (peroxide value, free fatty acid and iodine value), physical properties, colour (lightness, redness and yellowness), texture (hardness, fracturability, adhesiveness and cohesiveness) and sensory qualities (taste, crispiness, colour, odour and overall acceptability).

Findings
There were significant differences in moisture (p = 0.000), crude fat (p = 0.001), crude protein (p = 0.000), crude fibre (p = 0.001), total ash (p = 0.00) and carbohydrate (p = 0.001). The range of values for moisture content, crude fat, crude protein, crude fibre, total ash and carbohydrate contents were 2.6%–4.9%, 27.1%–34.7%, 21.0%–26.3%, 3.1%–4.1%, 2.1%–2.5% and 33.9%–36.4%, respectively, while peroxide, free fatty acid and iodine values ranged from 1.2 to 2.0 mEq/kg, 32.8–47.0 mg KOH/g and 1.2–2.0 gI2/100 g, respectively. The physical properties of the FPCCs showed decrease as the frying temperature and time increased. The values for lightness (L*), redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) ranged from 26.5 to 52.2, 11.4 to 22.0 and 37.0 to 42.5, while the texture attributes such as hardness (p = 0.001), fracturability (p = 0.023), adhesiveness (p = 0.001) and cohesiveness (p = 0.011) were significantly different and it ranged from 28.7 to 53.4 N, 28.6 to 48.3 N, 1.0 to 2.4 N/s and 0.0–0.1, respectively. The sensory score for wheat–cassava composite flours used for coating the snacks decreased as the frying temperature and time increased. The study shows that 20% of cassava flour incorporated into the formulation of coated snacks does not affect its overall acceptability.

Research limitations/implications
There are scanty information/published works on physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fried peanut cracker coated with wheat–cassava composite flour.

Practical implications
This research work helps in producing fried peanut cracker coated with composite wheat–cassava flours.

Originality/value
The study shows that 20% of cassava flour incorporated into the formulation of coated snacks does not affect its overall acceptability.
Individual differences in reactions to work location decisions
Authors: Kim Mee Sook , Misra Kaumudi , Phillips Jean M. 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to apply reciprocity theory to understand how hypothetical work location decision outcomes and individual differences affect employees’ trust in their employer and willingness to engage in organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs).

Design/methodology/approach
Three vignettes were used to manipulate work location decision outcomes and hypotheses were tested using Hayes’ (2008) PROCESS in a sample of 378 adults who worked in the USA during the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Findings
Participants reported greater OCB intentions through higher trust in the employer when given their hypothetical choice of work location compared to being assigned one, and when assigned to their preferred compared to nonpreferred location. External work locus of control (EWLC) moderated the effects of work location on trust in the employer. The relationship between trust and OCB intentions was weakened when employees perceived greater difficulty in leaving their jobs.

Originality/value
This study examined the roles of felt reciprocity, individual differences, choice and hypothetically receiving one’s preferred work location, on trust in the employer and willingness to engage in OCBs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Emotional intelligence, organizational justice and work outcomes
Authors: Mustafa Micheal James , Vinsent Claudia , Badri Siti Khadijah Zainal 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
This study aims to explore the associations between emotional intelligence (EI), organizational justice (OJ) perceptions and work outcomes. The study proposes a model where EI is linked to job satisfaction and turnover intentions through the three dimensions of organizational justice.

Design/methodology/approach
In all, 556 employees in the Malaysian service sector were used as samples for this study. Analysis was performed using SPSS and AMOS structural equation modelling (SEM) path analysis to test the study’s hypotheses.

Findings
Results indicate that EI had a significant direct effect on all organizational justice sub-dimensions (distributive, procedural and interactional justice) as well as on job satisfaction and turnover intentions. However, only distributive justice was found to partially mediate the relationship between EI, job satisfaction and turnover intentions.

Originality/value
This study provides further insights into the mechanisms through which trait EI impacts service sector employee workplace attitudes. It also investigates the role of trait EI in deciphering why employees may differ in their OJ perceptions and deepens understanding of the discrete roles that organizational justice sub-dimensions perform.
