Summary: Higher levels of burnout were found among orthopaedic residents compared to attending surgeons and fellows. Strong distinct correlations between emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and areas of work life were detected across stages of orthopaedic career. Burnout was most strongly associated with workload and job control in orthopaedic residents and attending surgeons, and with fairness and community in orthopaedic fellows.

Summary: Using firm-level data of companies listed on China's A-share market from 2006 to 2017, this research applies a difference-in-differences (DID) empirical method to test whether the state policy in China used for identifying firms as being high-tech enhances their innovative capabilities. The main findings suggest that the state technology identification policy does improve the total number of patent applications and the number of patent invention applications. Government subsidy plays an important role as a channel through which this policy affects a firm's innovation capabilities. The policy has a more prominent and positive influence on the innovation capabilities of firms located in regions with a higher rate of taxation and relatively more developed products and factor markets.

Summary: Hospitals participating in the BPCI program were incented to reduce Medicare payments by at least 2%. Results showed that major joint replacement of the lower extremity had the highest proportion of savers, while complex non-cervical spinal fusion had the lowest. Conditions that were mostly urgent/emergent had a higher proportion of savers, and having higher than median costs at baseline was associated with saving.

Summary: The study in primary health facilities in the Upper East Region of Ghana showed that a combined CDSS-PBI intervention led to significant improvement in client satisfaction with maternal health services, particularly in antenatal and delivery care aspects. Further research is needed to evaluate cost-effectiveness and long-term effects.

Summary: The study demonstrates that performance-based financial incentives lead to threshold effects, with some organizations narrowly achieving the target every year. There were no threshold effects before the introduction of the incentive or for partial payment targets. Tracking threshold effects can provide valuable information for policymakers to improve incentives and understand unintended consequences.

Summary: The study found that both non-monetary incentives and monetary incentives have significant positive effects on residents' intention to participate in online recycling. Perceived value mediates the relationship between incentives and participation intention, and temporal distance moderates the relationship between incentives and perceived value. Residents perceive non-monetary incentives more valuable in the near future, while they value monetary incentives more in the distant future.

Summary: This study examines how disruptive innovation directly and indirectly influence firm performance, mediated by innovation speed and innovation quality, and moderated by market-supporting institutions. The results indicate that disruptive innovation has a positive effect on firm performance and that innovation speed and quality mediate this relationship. Market-supporting institutions also have a moderating effect.

Summary: China attempts to catch up with the United States technologically by mobilizing its bureaucracy and assigning ambitious targets to local governments. However, the implementation of these targets, combined with political competition, leads to the development of non-novel and low-quality patents. Overall, China's innovation drive is susceptible to manipulation and waste.

Summary: This study finds that green finance has a significant positive effect on firm environmental innovation. The mechanisms include easing financing constraints, alleviating information asymmetry, and strengthening environmental regulation. The effect is particularly notable in central and western China, non-state-owned enterprises, and large-sized firms. This paper confirms the Porter effect of green finance and provides timely implications for regulators concerned with green development.

Summary: Organizations often face low-quality solutions in crowdsourcing due to a lack of understanding of participant motivations. This paper examines the impact of incentive choice flexibility on solution quality through a field experiment. The findings suggest that participants who can choose their preferred incentive spend more time and produce higher quality solutions compared to those with a single incentive option. This study highlights the importance of adopting a flexible incentive structure and challenges the focus on a single type of incentive in estimating its impact on solution quality.

Summary: This article discusses the problem requirements for experiential education in quality improvement and patient safety in graduate medical education, as well as the major challenges faced in meeting these requirements. The authors propose an educational approach by developing a centralized simulation-based medical education curriculum, which allows learners to engage in data-driven practice-based learning and improvement in a shorter timeframe.

Summary: Science and technology innovation is crucial for the sustainable development of enterprises and even for the security and sustainable development of a nation. This research studied the impact of operating leverage on enterprise innovation investment and the moderating effect of equity incentives. Using a longitudinal panel dataset of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2020, the study found that operating leverage significantly contributes to an increase in enterprise innovation investment, but the positive correlation decreases with higher operating leverage. The implementation of equity incentives plays a positive role in moderating the relationship between operating leverage and innovation investment.

Summary: The study found an interplay between social and experiential learning in migration timing of whooping cranes. However, there was an ontogenetic shift in the dominant learning process, with subadult birds relying more on social information while mature birds primarily relying on experiential information.
