CSR, moral licensing and organizational misconduct: a conceptual review

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize how past corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects the occurrence of organizational misconduct by the means of moral licensing. Design/methodology/approach To this end, the authors conduct a conceptual review and develop a framework illustrating how moral credits and moral credentials (moral licensing) may institutionalize irresponsibility and lead to subsequent misconduct. Findings The authors propose a conceptual framework that describes the relationship between past CSR and organizational misconduct by the means of moral licensing. Based on initial literature-based findings, this paper provides confirmatory evidence for the authors’ framework and illustrates that past CSR might be used as a moral licensing tool that eventually fosters the occurrence of organizational misconduct. Research limitations/implications The authors propose future researchers account for the moral licensing effect when examining the antecedents of misconduct and explore the potential moderators of this effect. Practical implications The authors recommend that organizations establish management control systems that specifically address the issue of moral licensing when evaluating CSR initiatives. The authors also propose that organizations should adhere to a consistent CSR strategy that potentially fosters the selection of moral leaders who are not prone to moral licensing. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first to connect corporate social responsibility, moral licensing and organizational misconduct from a conceptual perspective.
Student reflections on capstone design: experiences with industry-sponsored projects

Students are a primary stakeholder in engineering Capstone Design courses, but the student voice risks being overlooked indiscussions of Capstone Design pedagogy and development. While many engineering programs collect student feedback andperformance data for accreditation purposes, the engineering education and engineering design literature provide few resources thatcapture student perspectives on Capstone Design, especially across multiple institutions. The 2012 Capstone Design Conferencehosted two well-attended panel sessions called ‘‘Student Reflections on Capstone Design’’ specifically to highlight studentexperiences in Capstone Design courses with industry-sponsored projects. Each panel featured four different panelists who hadrecently completed their Capstone Design courses, had worked with different industrial sponsors, and represented differentinstitutions and engineering disciplines. The facilitator of each panel asked the same initial questions of the respective panelists andthen opened the conversation to questions from the audience. Although the trajectory of the two panels varied, content analysis ofthe transcribed discussions revealed similar themes from both groups. This paper addresses the analysis methodology, emergingthemes, and sample reflections/suggestions from the student panelists. Discussion of the themes and student comments provides afoundation of student perspectives to aid faculty and industry liaisons in strengthening the Capstone Design experience.
Educational Quality Assurance Management System

- Quality assurance (QA) is an important process which checks if the outputs and services meet the specified requirements, if not, it enhances these requirements for improvement. In general, increasing user confidence, honesty and developing work processes are from the advantages of using QA, which makes an educational institution a strong competitor to others. QA used to be manual in educational processes. Instead of manual process that consumes a lot of time and effort, the used system is electronic system. In Egypt, the trend is towards digital transformation. The proposed system is used by QA committee for course management. The system provides facilities for instructors to upload, update, view and view course files with necessary statistics and analysis that help to enhance courses quality. The QA committee can use them to monitor the progress of the courses, produces the program report automatically by collecting relevant grade information, student feedback analysis, Course learning outcome (CLO) achievement statistics and intelligent recommendations for course improvement wherever necessary. The objective is effective management of QA activities to improve courses, reduce Time and manpower. The Egyptian QA accreditation system based on around twelve items of Self-study Standards, we are concerned in our system for only one of them” Teaching and learning”.
Histone Mono-Ubiquitination in Transcriptional Regulation and Its Mark on Life: Emerging Roles in Tissue Development and Disease

Epigenetic regulation plays an essential role in driving precise transcriptional programs during development and homeostasis. Among epigenetic mechanisms, histone mono-ubiquitination has emerged as an important post-transcriptional modification. Two major histone mono-ubiquitination events are the mono-ubiquitination of histone H2A at lysine 119 (H2AK119ub), placed by Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), and histone H2B lysine 120 mono-ubiquitination (H2BK120ub), placed by the heteromeric RNF20/RNF40 complex. Both of these events play fundamental roles in shaping the chromatin epigenetic landscape and cellular identity. In this review we summarize the current understandings of molecular concepts behind histone mono-ubiquitination, focusing on their recently identified roles in tissue development and pathologies.
Measurement of Extraneous and Germane Cognitive Load in the Mathematics Addition Task: An Event-Related Potential Study

Cognitive load significantly influences learning effectiveness. All the three types of cognitive load—intrinsic, extraneous, and germane—are important for guiding teachers in preparing effective instructional designs for students. However, the techniques used to assess the relationship between brain activity and cognitive load during learning activities require further investigation. This study preliminarily examined cognitive load during mathematics computations based on cognitive-load theory. We used event-related potentials to compare carryover and without carryover additions under three types of stimuli (uncoloured Arabic numerals, colourful Arabic numerals, and Chinese numerals) to measure learners’ cognitive load. According to the concept and rationale of cognitive-load theory, the design defined the extraneous and germane cognitive load to measure the N1 and P2 components and the relevant behavioural data. The highest P2 amplitude was observed in the Chinese numerals condition as extraneous cognitive load, and the N1 component was observed in the colourful Arabic numerals condition as germane cognitive load. Thus, both components may play an important role in extraneous and germane cognitive load. Additionally, these exhibit negative correlations during mathematical computations. This study’s findings and implications offer insights into future ways for assessing cognitive load using brain imaging techniques and potential applications for brain–computer interfaces.
COVID-19 Stressful Life Events and Chinese Adolescents’ Mental Health: Examining Resilience, Peer Relationship, and Parenting as Moderators

The current study examines intrapersonal characteristics or factors (i.e., resilience), peer (i.e., quality of peer relationships), and family processes (i.e., parental involvement, critical comparison) as potential risk and protective factors for mental health of Chinese adolescents during COVID- 19 pandemic. A total of 504 seventh-grade students (52% boys) and their caregivers in Beijing, China completed an online survey in September 2020. Youth reported experiencing various COVID-19-related stressful life events (i.e., conflicts with parents, poor learning environment and efficiency, family financial pressure), and about 15% reported slightly elevated scores of mental health difficulties. Findings suggested personal resilience and quality of peer relationship predicted positive mental health (i.e., covitality or co-occurrence of positive psychological dispositions) and less mental health difficulties. Parent’s critical comparison intensified the negative link between stressful life events and youth mental health. Implications for promoting youth mental health as schools reopen are discussed.
Factors causing workplace conflict and its outcome on organizations: the case of Wonji/Shoa Sugar Factory

Conflict is an inevitable normal part of life that occurs when the things individuals care about appear incompatible. It may arise from a misunderstanding between co-workers or poor communication within a department. No matter the cause, you can deal effectively with I conflict in the workplace. Nonetheless, the outcome of poorly managed conflict can take an enormous economic and emotional toll upon an organization and its members. The main objective of the study is to identify the differenttypes, causes and outcomes of workplace conflict in Wonji Sugar Factory. The study employs explanatory research design to investigate the outcomes of workplace conflict on organizational performanceThe primary data was collected using close ended questionnaire. The secondary data was collected using books, articles, journals and other published materials. This study involves 307 sample respondents. The questionnaires were distributed to the sample respondents of Wonji Sugar Factory, which are selected using stratified systematic sampling. The Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools such as factor analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. The results obtained from the analysis shows that Interpersonal and Intergroup conflict are the major types of conflict in the organization.It also reveals that personal factor, communication factor and structural factor as the three major sources of I conflict. From the three factors, personal factor is found to be the major source of conflict. With regard to outcomes of conflict, it shows that conflict has an impact on the employees' physical and mental well-being as well as on their social relationships. Finally, the researcher recommends that to minimize conflicts caused by these different factors, it will be better if the organization improves its activities regarding employees' relation with colleagues and managementas well as improve the communication system and overall reward system.
Valproic Acid Inhibits Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma Cells Behaviors via Restraining PI3K/AKT Pathway

Objective Alproic acid (VPA) is a clinic antiepileptic drug. Antitumor role of VPA has been studied. The aim of this study was to clarify the treatment effect and potential mechanism of VPA on peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCLs). Materials and Methods Hut 78 cells were obtained from the Shanghai Cell Bank, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and randomly divided into six groups: control, VPA (8 mM), empty vector (NC), miR-3196 mimics, miR-3196 inhibitor, and VPA + miR-3196 mimics groups. CCK-8 assay was performed to clarify the regulative role of VPA on cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was applied to determine the apoptotic rate and ROS levels. miR-3196 was tested by RT-qPCR. Western blot was used to test the level of p-PI3K and p-AKT. Biochemical experiments were used to detect changes in the content of ATP, lactate level, and glucose content. Electron microscopy was used to show the structure of mitochondria in Hut 78 cells. Results VPA greatly promoted the expression of miR-3196 and inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with the NC group, the cell apoptosis rate, Bax and cleaved-caspase-3 expression, lactate level, ROS expression, and glucose content in the VPA group were significantly increased (P < 0.05), and cell proliferation, ATP production, and the expression of Bcl-2, p-PI3K and p-AKT was decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The role of mir-3196 mimics is similar to VPA. While, the miR-3196 inhibitor had the opposite effect to VPA and mimics. The combination of VPA and miR-3196 mimics has the most obvious effect. Conclusion VPA can inhibit the proliferation of Hut 78 cells and promote cell apoptosis and the structure and dysfunction of mitochondria by regulating the activity of the PI3K/AKT pathway.
Developing A Multi-Directional Single-Leg Jumping Assessment which Incorporates Technical, Physical and Perceptual Components of Performance

Developing a comprehensive athlete profile can provide coaches and clinicians with a variety of valuable information regarding individual players’ performance and capabilities. Creating an assessment that is not only reliable, but also addresses the three primary components of agility (technical, physical and perceptual) is needed to better assess individual player strengths and weaknesses. Unilateral performance measures across multiple directions can be used to detect directional-specific asymmetries which may provide valuable information regarding those players that are at an increased risk of injury or that may not be ready to return to play following a lower limb injury. A percent difference in performance measures between legs that exceeds 15% in any of the three directions is thought to place the athlete at greater risk of injury. Additional characteristics associated with alignment, muscle activation patterns and relative joint angles throughout the movement can also be indicative of high risk movement patterns. Further research is needed to assess the reliability and develop normative data for such an assessment.

Novel imaging using a MEG scanner, and MRI homogeneity improvement techniques

The general aims of the work in this thesis are to locate and quantify magnetic dipoles using a Magnetoencephalography (MEG) system based on Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) sensors, and to generate various target magnetic fields using magnetic dipoles. MEG provides direct, real-time measurements of magnetic fields at sub-millisecond temporal resolution and femtoTesla sensitivity. It is typically used to describe sources in terms of current dipoles, but here we adapt a different approach and use it to characterise magnetic dipoles. In the first part of this thesis, we describe initial experiments which were carried out in order to demonstrate the feasibility of using the high sensitivity of MEG SQUID sensors to detect extremely small magnetic field shifts due to magnetised samples, and to then locate and quantify the magnetic dipoles. We show that a standard MEG system can be used to measure magnetic field shifts due to susceptibility effects from samples exposed to an Ultra Low Field (ULF), as well as to detect and image the distribution of decaying longitudinal nuclear magnetisation from pre-polarised samples. During our experiments, we also identified a long-lived magnetisation in biological samples, whose magnetisation orientation is fixed by the sample orientation. This finding led us to carry out experiments on samples including human tissue (the hand, wrist, and foot) using MEG, and to characterise the magnetisation behaviour. Even though ULF Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has several benefits, it is difficult for it to compete with Ultra High Field (UHF) MRI since the higher the field is, the larger does the SNR tend to be. Yet, higher fields increase the effects of intrinsic magnetic susceptibility differences, which in turn leads to field inhomogeneities. Thus, in the second part of this thesis, we aim at improving the quality of high field MR images. We show how magnetic dipoles can be used to generate different target fields that can be used to shim different inhomogeneous magnetic fields at UHF. These magnetic dipoles can be realised using either an array of orthogonal coils or pieces of strongly diamagnetic material.
Complex coacervation of soy protein isolate‐limited enzymatic hydrolysates and sodium alginate: Formation mechanism and its application

Abstract The complex coacervation of soybean protein isolate and polysaccharide has been widely applied for preparing biopolymer materials like microcapsule. In this study, hydrolytic soy protein isolate (HSPI) was prepared by mild hydrolysis of soy protein isolate (SPI) with fungal protease 400 (F400). The degree of hydrolysis (DH) for the enzymatic products was controlled at 1%–5%. Emulsification, oxidation resistance, and thermal stability were used to evaluate the performances of HSPI with different DH. The results showed that the HSPI with the hydrolysis degree of 2% had the optimal property. Subsequently, the complex polymer of HSPI/SA was prepared by the coalescence reaction of HSPI and sodium alginate (SA). The turbidity curves manifested the optimal complex coacervation occurred at the ratio of 7:1 (HSPI:SA). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) presented that the reaction involved electrostatic interactions between ‐NH3 + in HSPI and ‐COO− in SA. Isothermal titration calorimetry experiments indicated that the complex coacervation reactions of HSPI and SA arose spontaneously. The microencapsulation by complex coacervation of HSPI and SA was further produced for embedding sweet orange oil. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) result revealed that the microencapsulation system of HSPI/SA had a better heat resistance than that using the SPI/SA complex polymer.
A systematic study of a droplet breakup process in decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence using a mesoscopic simulation approach

ABSTRACT The breakup of a spherical droplet in a decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence is studied by solving the Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes equations. This flow provides a great opportunity to study the interactions of turbulent kinetic energy and interfacial free energy and their effects on the breakup dynamics. Three distinct stages of droplet evolution, namely, the deformation stage, the breakup stage, and the restoration stage, are identified and then analysed systematically from several perspectives: a geometric perspective, a dynamic perspective, a global energetic perspective, and a multiscale energy transfer perspective. It is found that the ending time of the breakup stage can be estimated by the Hinze criterion. The kinetic energy of the two-phase flow during the breakup stage is found to have a power-law decay with an exponent , compared to for the single-phase flow, mainly due to the enhanced viscous dissipation generated by the daughter droplets. Energy spectra of the two-phase flow show power-law decay, with a slope between and , at high wave numbers, both in the Fourier spectral space and in the spherical harmonics space.
Understanding new assurance attributes of hotel restaurants during COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of studies were conducted to better understand “new normal” services from the perspectives of restaurant operators and customers (Kim & Liu, 2022; Wang et al., 2021). Having conducted in-depth analysis, the “new normal” services documented in literature are related to assurance, a SERVQUAL and DINESERV dimension, in regard to employees’ ability to inspire customer trust and confidence (Parasuraman et al., 1988). The review of literature indicates that the physical environment, the hygiene & cleanliness of restaurants, and contactless services are the key attributes that enhance customer confidence in restaurant services (Jeong et al., 2022; Kim & Liu, 2022). It is, therefore, important for restaurant operators to fully understand them to deliver better services to meet customer expectations. However, there is a lack of research that examines “new normal” services in relation to assurance attributes in full-service hotel restaurants during COVID-19. This research note employs a qualitative exploratory study to examine new assurance attributes in regard to hotel restaurants based on two sources of information. The study expects to expand the original knowledge on the assurance dimension in regard to restaurants and to help restaurant operators to acquire a better understanding of new assurance attributes, thereby providing both theoretical and practical contributions.
Possible Role of Phenolics and Flavonoids in Antioxidant, Cytotoxic and Thrombolytic Activities of Eclipta prostata L.

Eclipta prostata (E. prostata) L, is a herbal medicinal plant, which is reported to contain phenolics and flavonoids, but very little is known about its bioactive potentials. In this report, we reexamined the phenols and flavonoid content and evaluated different bioactivities of organic soluble fractions from the shoots of E. prostata for the first time. Among the extractives, chloroform soluble fraction (CSF) possessed the highest content of phenols (156.03 ± 0.52 mg gallic acid equivalent /g of dry extract) and flavonoids (67.47 ± 0.56 mg quercetin equivalent /g of dry extract) and exhibited the most potent antioxidant properties in terms of total antioxidant capacity (198.71 ± 0.89 mg ascorbic acid equivalent/g of dry extract) and DPPH free radical scavenging ability (IC50; 17.68 ± 0.32 μg/ml). Similarly, CSF showed the highest cytotoxicity with LC50 values of 16.03±0.23 μg/ml, and thrombolytic activity with 36.06 ± 0.39% clot lysis. A significant correlation was observed between flavonoid content and total antioxidant capacity (r2 = 0.894, p < 0.05), while high correlation was seen between polyphenols and flavonoid content with free radical scavenging, total antioxidant capacity and cytotoxicity (r2 = 0.612 - 0.928). These findings suggest that E. prostata is a precious source of polyphenols having potential bioactivities, which could be utilized for the management of lifestyle diseases.

A case report on leptospirosis with pseudohepatorenal syndrome

The spirochete Leptospira interrogans causes leptospirosis, a zoonosis. There are numerous clinical symptoms of leptospirosis. Clinical manifestations might range from a subclinical infection with a mild fever to severe clinical symptoms with jaundice and renal failure. Here, a case of leptospirosis with acute renal failure, thrombocytopenia, and hyperbilirubinemia is presented. A 51-year-old man presented with fever, body aches, muscle aches, colored urine, and jaundice for 2 days. On serology report, L. interrogans AB IGM-CARD was weekly positive. In the Renal function test, urea and creatinine values were high as well as the liver function test was abnormal. The patient was given 1 g of ceftriaxone intravenously and 100 mg of doxycycline orally. Hepatorenal treatment was supportive and the outcome was positive. It may have been overlooked when the diagnosis of leptospirosis was confirmed.
