Students’ Views on ICT for English Learning During the Pandemic
Authors: Yamamoto Junko , Teaman Brian
Published: August 2021

The 2020 academic year had schools throughout Japan and the world pivot to online education because of the Covid-19 pandemic. As our research site is a technology-friendly university, having started universal iPad use in 2012, we knew our students had the tools and necessary skills to get online. We wanted to know how our students received online classes and what impact the 2020 online courses had on their confidence in ICT (Information and Communication Technology) skills and motivation to learn both for online courses and out-of-class learning. The interviews showed increased confidence in ICT skills. The motivation to learn was generally positive, although demotivating factors were also observed. For the most part, interviewees got used to the new learning style and carried out tasks successfully.
2020年度は、 Covid-19 パンデミックのために世界中の学校でオンライン教育が行われた。 本研究が行われた大学ではICT（情報通信技術）を多用しており、2012年からiPadによる英語教育を行っている。そのためすべての学生がオンライン授業に対応するツールとそれに必要なスキルを持っていた。その学生達が、2020年春学期のオンラインクラスをどのように受講したのか、オンラインコースがICTスキルへの自信や英語学習動機などにどのような影響を与えたかを調査した。インタビューを通して、ICTスキルに対する自信が高まっていることが示された。動機づけは全体的にみて向上しているものの、やる気を失わせる要素も散見された。全体的にみて、学生達は新しい授業形態に慣れ、課題をこなすことができたと考える。
COVID-19 Pandemic-Influenced Changes to Japanese University Student Digital Identity
Authors: Healy Sandra
Published: August 2021

This paper presents an exploratory study of Japanese university students’ usage of digital space and digital identity formation in the context of the sudden move to emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL) during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online questionnaire was administered to attempt to capture this unique historical moment, to gain a picture of the digital spaces the students typically inhabit day to day, and to document COVID-19 pandemic related changes. The questionnaire used was adapted from Lee and Kim’s 2014 study on the digital identity of Korean university students, and the results were analysed using concepts from Ito et al.’s 2010 work Hanging Out, Messing Around and Geeking Out. It was found that Japanese students are immersed in a technology-rich environment, are active in friendship-driven online practices, and that the impact of the pandemic on their digital environments in connection with language learning and academic identities has been significant.

Authors: Strickland Zach , Haynes William , Wick Martin
Published: August 2021

This paper is a quantitative research-based study of home learning using YouTube. Because of the coronavirus situation in 2020, students were not able to attend school. In “The Plan” section we explain that the authors of this paper made 36 English lesson videos with the Osaka City Board of Education and uploaded them to YouTube for educational purposes. In “The Videos” we discuss the video production details. In the “Dissemination” we reveal that there were 230,000 total views of these videos targeted to 108,073 students. We also show student viewing habits. In the “Analysis” we examine the relationship between video technology and modern education. Our conclusion is that this method is effective initially because the number of views was very high. However, over time, there was a sharp drop in the number of views and this method became much less effective.

The history, origin and development of memoirs and autobiographical works in Uzbek literature go back a long way. This genre has always brought clarity to problematic situations. Autobiographical works are also relevant in modern literature and meet all the requirements of the rules of literature. Researchers have studied the peculiarities of autobiographical works. Although memoirs are essentially close to biographical works, they differ slightly, depending on the nature of the genre. In ancient times, scholars wrote on manuscripts, stone inscriptions, and pottery in order to pass on information about their life and work from generation to generation. That’s why a lot of information has come down to us through their work.

Published: August 2021

Despite all recent advances in medical treatments, infectious diseases remain dangerous. This has led to intensive scientific research on materials with antimicrobial properties. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are a well-established solution in this area. The present work studied the nucleation of silver on halloysite substrates modified by chemical treatment with NaOH. The resulting stabilized Ag-NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The nucleation was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The antimicrobial properties of the Ag-NPs were investigated against E. coli and S. aureus. The potential of the Ag-NPs for industrial application was tested by dispersing them into low-density polyethylene. The importance of the chemical affinity between matrix and additive was tested through coating the Ag-NPs with dodecanethiol, a non-polar surfactant. The resulting composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and in terms of surface antimicrobial activity. The results demonstrate that the Ag-NPs synthesized in this work are indeed antimicrobial, and that it is possible to imbue a polymeric matrix with the antimicrobial properties of Ag-NPs.

Authors: Najiyah Safwa Khashi'ie  , Iskandar Waini  , Ioan Pop  , Nurul Amira Zainal  , Abdul Rahman Mohd Kasim
Published: August 2021

This significant study is designed to analyze the axisymmetric hybrid nanofluid flow with heat transfer on a convectively heated stretching/shrinking disk. The combination of metal (Cu) and metal oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles with water (H2O) as the base fluid is used for the analysis. Similarity transformation is adopted to reduce the complexity of the PDEs into a system of ODEs. The utilization of suction in maintaining the steady flow solution for the shrinking disk case discloses the presence of dual solutions. Besides, an upsurge of Biot number and suction’s strength enhances the heat transfer operation. The application of Cu-Al2O3/water nanofluid can extend the range of solutions’ existence and consequently, decelerate the separation of laminar flow.

Temperatures are rising gradually around the world due to the issue of global warming. This condition also affects those who have to work for long hours. A comfortable work environment helps employees to increase work productivity. Thermal comfort is the occupant’s satisfaction with the surrounding thermal conditions. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the thermal environmental conditions of air conditioning through Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations. The distributions of environmental parameters such as air velocity, air temperature, radiant temperature, inside an o?ce room with air-conditioning are presented. Based on these distributions, spatial pro?les of Predicted Mean Vote Index (PMV) are obtained to illustrate thermal conditions intuitively. This study was conducted under controlled environment inside special laboratory. To achieve this model office environment has been built in an environmental chamber. The distribution of PMV indicates that operative temperature at the 23 oC shows that the PMV is comfortable. The value of PMV in operative temperature at 23 oC is 0.79 near the skin of an occupant. The research outputs provide useful information for designers of the air-conditioning system to build a comfortable indoor environment in the office environment.
THE IMPORTANCE OF RELATEDNESS SUPPORT IN EDUCATION
Authors: DEVRİM Nehir
Published: August 2021

Self Determination Theory, developed by Edward L. Deci and Richard Ryan, is a motivation theory suggesting that if the innate psychological needs of people are met, their motivation will be achieved without external influence and intervention. According to this theory, autonomy (the ability to make decisions about one's own life on its own), competence (having control over outcomes and believing that one has the ability and ability to do any job) and relatedness support (to interact, connect, and value others) are psychological needs and are the optimal conditions for intrinsic motivation. In this study, the relationship between relatedness support provided by teachers in their instructional behavior and its relationship to student engagement was investigated. Students' engagement in the lesson is considered as part of their learning motivation. Designed as a cross-sectional observation study, 191 students from private and public high schools in Ankara were observed at three different times in the same class by two independent observers who received training in Self Determination Theory from the Department of Psychology. With the questions directed to the students, a positive correlation was found between students’ behavioral engagement (raising finger, asking questions, obeying the class rules, completing the given tasks), emotional engagement (enthusiasm, curiosity, interest, optimism), cognitive engagement (advanced deep information processing level and self-regulation skills) and agentic engagement (students' constructive contribution to their own learning, initiating new tasks) and the relatedness support provided by their teachers. When teachers spend time with their students, when they are physically nearby them, when they answer students’ questions, when they are clear and organized in the instructions given about the lesson, students' participation in the lesson has increased. The study also showed that teachers 'awareness of their own instructional behavior was positively correlated with students' intrinsic motivation. Feeling related to the classroom environment, the lesson, peers and the teacher enhances classroom motivation.
UMA AVALIAÇÃO DA PARTICIPAÇÃO DO BRASIL NAS DIRETRIZES DA OCDE PARA CONDUTA RESPONSÁVEL DE EMPRESAS MULTINACIONAIS
Authors: Mueller Bernardo , Roviello Felipe
Published: August 2021

As Diretrizes da Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE) para conduta empresarial responsável oferecem um fórum ao qual grupos e indivíduos podem denunciar violações por parte de empresas multinacionais, assim como mediação entre as empresas denunciadas e os denunciantes na busca de acordos e solução dos conflitos. Com atuação em 49 países, é um dos maiores programas de responsabilidade social corporativa do mundo. Como o programa não tem poder legal de sanção e a participação das empresas é voluntária, ele depende da sua capacidade de dar visibilidade às denúncias e da percepção por parte das empresas dos custos envolvidos por meio de impactos à sua imagem e reputação. Neste trabalho, nós detalhamos os casos mediados pelo Ponto de Contato Nacional (NCP) do Brasil. Realizamos também testes quantitativos por estudos de eventos com dados do mercado acionário e mostramos que há evidência que uma denúncia ao programa efetivamente impõe custos às empresas.
TRATADOS BILATERAIS DE INVESTIMENTO: CONCEITOS, POTENCIAIS IMPACTOS E TENDÊNCIAS FUTURAS
Authors: Araújo Júnior Ignácio Tavares de
Published: August 2021

Os tratados bilaterais de investimento (TBIs) são um conjunto de normas que regulamentam os investimentos estrangeiros privados de um país em outro. O objetivo do TBI é prover a segurança desejável a investidores externos para estimular a entrada de investimento externo direto (IED). Este artigo faz uma revisão de uma série de trabalhos teóricos que analisam o efeito do TBI sobre o IED. De acordo com a literatura a respeito do tema, não há consenso sobre o sinal e a magnitude do impacto do TBI sobre o IED, havendo evidências apontando efeito positivo, ausência de efeito e até mesmo sugerindo impactos negativos. As tendências futuras para os TBIs dão maior clareza para termos como expropriação indireta; buscam meios de resolver eventuais disputas sem a necessidade de recorrer a tribunais internacionais; e procuram evitar que, para atrair mais IED, os Estados façam concessões que entrem em conflito com objetivos de políticas domésticas que visem ao desenvolvimento sustentável.

Published: August 2021

Este artigo visa analisar a inserção da cláusula de responsabilidade social corporativa (RSC), enquanto instrumento de proteção de direitos humanos, nos tratados bilaterais de investimento (TBIs); e explorar se os Acordos de Cooperação e Facilitação de Investimentos (ACFIs) brasileiros oferecem avanços sobre o tema. Nesse sentido, o texto examina a difusão do movimento de RSC e sua relação com o paradigma neoliberal e expõe as lacunas existentes no atual marco regulatório sobre empresas e direitos humanos. Por fim, o estudo propõe caminhos pelos quais é possível avançar na
responsabilização das empresas transnacionais, dentro e fora dos TBIs.

Published: August 2021

Este estudo apresenta um diagnóstico de como o uso do transporte individual motorizado e do transporte coletivo tem evoluído desde o início dos anos 2000 nas cidades brasileiras. Nós analisamos dados sobre mudanças no padrão de consumo de bens e serviços de transporte, o aumento de renda das famílias, além da evolução dos custos de transporte urbano, da demanda por transporte público e da frota de veículos no país nos últimos vinte anos. Em todas as dimensões analisadas, os dados apresentam uma trajetória gradual e persistente de substituição do consumo de transporte coletivo pelo individual motorizado, principalmente entre as classes médias e baixas, e nas cidades de médio e pequeno porte. O estudo aponta ainda como
essas mudanças têm se refl etido na contínua deterioração das condições de mobilidade e no consequente aumento no tempo que as pessoas passam no trânsito, afetando de maneira desigual a população, de acordo com nível socioeconômico, gênero e cor. Por fi m, nós mostramos como a crise econômica e de saúde pública gerada pela pandemia da Covid-19 teve um profundo impacto na redução dos níveis de
mobilidade urbana e, em particular, na intensifi cação da queda do número de passageiros do transporte público ao longo de 2020. Com isso, a crise do novo coronavírus deve aprofundar o ciclo vicioso de perda de passageiros e elevação de tarifas no transporte público e acentuar a tendência histórica de substituição do
transporte coletivo pelo individual nas cidades brasileiras. Ao fi nal, são apontadas algumas sugestões para políticas públicas que poderiam contribuir para mudar essas tendências.

A Novel Minimally Invasive Retro Rectus Repair of Ventral Hernia
Authors: Kumar Anil , Taggarsi Meghana , Subhash R C
Published: August 2021

Background
Ventral hernia repair is one of the common general surgical procedures. A novel eTEP technique has been developed where in a mesh is placed in retro muscular plane through minimally invasive approach. There is scarcity of data on its effectiveness as compared to conventional Laparoscopic IPOM hernioplasty.
Aims and Objectives
We aim to introduce our innovative Kumar-Subhash’s modified 3 port eTEP technique for ventral hernia repair and compare its clinical effectiveness with conventional IPOM repair. 
Methods
A prospective comparative study was undertaken at Devagiri Hospital, Bangalore, India from January 2017 to December 2019. 30 patients were included in the study (12 in eTEP group and 18 in IPOM group) based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were followed up to 30 days post-operatively. The outcomes were compared with respect to postoperative pain, length of hospital stay and early postoperative complications.
Results
Baseline characteristics and presenting complaints were comparable for both the groups. The mean pain score on POD 1 in eTEP group was 3, and 1 on POD 7 as compared to 7 and 3 in IPOM group on POD1 and 7 respectively, which was statistically significant. Patients in eTEP group had a shorter length of hospital stay (LOS). None of the patients had any complications related to the novel technique.
Conclusions
Kumar-Subhash’s modified 3 port eTEP technique is a novel and easy approach for laparoscopic repair of ventral hernia with significantly less post-operative pain and LOS with an additional cosmetic advantage for patients.
The Surface of (16) Psyche from Thermal Emission and Polarization Mapping
Authors: de Kleer Katherine , Cambioni Saverio , Shepard Michael
Published: August 2021

The asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest of the M-type asteroids, which have been hypothesized to be the cores of disrupted planetesimals and the parent bodies of the iron meteorites. While recent evidence has collected against a pure metal composition for Psyche, its spectrum and radar properties remain anomalous. We observed (16) Psyche in thermal emission with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at a resolution of 30 km over two-thirds of its rotation. The diurnal temperature variations are at the ∼10 K level over most of the surface and are best fit by a smooth surface with a thermal inertia of 280 ± 100 J m−2 K−1 s−1/2. We measure a millimeter emissivity of 0.61 ± 0.02, which we interpret via a model that treats the surface as a porous mixture of silicates and metals, where the latter may take the form of iron sulfides/oxides or, alternatively, conducting metallic inclusions. The emissivity indicates a metal content of no less than 20% and potentially much higher, but the polarized emission that should be present for a surface with ≥20% metal content is almost completely absent. This requires a highly scattering surface, which may be due to the presence of reflective metallic inclusions. If such is the case, a consequence is that metal-rich asteroids may produce less polarized emission than metal-poor asteroids, exactly the opposite prediction from standard theory, arising from the dominance of scattering over the bulk material properties.

Authors: May Sylvia , Baumgartner Chris , Garrety Gary , McLaughlin Heidi
Published: August 2021

There are over 700 prescription and illicit opioid-related deaths each year in Washington State. Integrating the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) data into the electronic health record (EHR) allows providers seamless access to patient controlled substances prescription histories, thereby reducing inappropriate prescribing and overdoses. The project overview describes the study focus, investigation of barriers to integrating PDMP data into EHRs across care settings for providers in Washington State who prescribe controlled substances. An online survey tool was developed to inquire about barriers to PDMP integration. The article presents survey results, indicating that 81% of respondents were not integrating PMDP data into the EHR and 52% did not plan on integration. The discussion section considers common barriers that providers identified, such as EHR vendor inability to provide an update, difficulty accessing the PDMP, and prioritization. Cost was the most significant barrier. Discovering barriers to PDMP integration allows stakeholders to address these issues and prevent overprescribing of controlled substances.
Sex Trafficking of Minors in the United States: A Perspective for Nurses
Authors: Jaeckl Simone , Laughon Kathryn
Published: August 2021

Commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) is a crime and a public health concern with a long-standing history, globally and in the United States. Among a multitude of risk factors, childhood maltreatment trauma has been identified as most relevant. CSEC victims suffer a range of acute and chronic physical and mental health consequences. Though fearful and distrusting, victims do seek medical care, even while under their trafficker’s control. Nevertheless, many go unrecognized and unaided due to inadequate provider education about victim identification. As members of the largest healthcare profession nationwide, nurses have an important role in confronting CSEC. To fulfill this role, nurses need education to recognize “red flags” of victimization, as well as knowledge about trauma-informed assessment and response. This article offers background information and discusses recruitment tactics, health consequences, clinical care, and implications for nursing practice and research.
Ergothérapie et enfance sévèrement handicapée, je me souviens…

Published: August 2021

L’ergothérapie peut être le métier passionnant de toute une vie, au-delà même du temps professionnel. L’auteure revient sur sa mobilisation principale auprès d’enfants puis de personnes en situation de handicap et de dépendance sévères, voire extrêmes. Rompant, il y a vingt ans, avec les établissements médico-sociaux pour exercer en cicat (centre d’information et de conseil sur les aides techniques), son objectif est resté le même : la qualité de vie au présent, en répondant en priorité aux besoins fondamentaux de sécurité, de communication, et au développement de toute autonomie possible. Cela suppose une forte motivation à se former, en multipliant les points de vue, et à collaborer à une compétence collective incluant les parents. Dans tout acte de soin ou de thérapie, elle invite à questionner les méthodes, leurs impacts positifs et négatifs, leur sens pour l’enfant, et à refuser l’inacceptable : la douleur, la maltraitance. Notre nature humaine fait de chacun, figure d’autorité ou soumis, un maltraitant en puissance. Elle porte aussi des voies d’évitement, en particulier la réflexion éthique et l’empathie.
How information affects consumers’ purchase intention and willingness to pay for poultry farmed with insect-based meal and live insects
Authors: Sogari G. , Menozzi D. , Mora C. , Gariglio M. , Gasco L. , Schiavone A.
Published: August 2021

The opportunity to use insects as protein sources for poultry has many environmental advantages. Moreover, the administration of insects to poultry can provide animal welfare and health benefits, allowing the expression of their natural behaviour, reducing aggression, and supplying nutrients. However, there is limited research on consumer’s acceptance of farmed animals fed with insects. Our study aims to understand consumers’ attitude towards, intention to purchase, and willingness to pay (WTP) for meat obtained from a farmed duck fed on: (1) an insect-based meal; and (2) live insect diet. We conduct an online survey of 565 Italian meat consumers, including an information treatment regarding the sustainability and nutrition benefits of using insects as feed. Our results demonstrate that providing more information about the positive effects of using insects in feed production may motivate those more interested in environmental issues to purchase insect-fed duck meat products. Compared to the control group, the purchase intention of consumers in the treatment group is also affected by their attitude towards animal welfare. Their WTP for such products is directly affected by their previous entomophagy experience. Attitude and intention to purchase an insect-fed duck are the main predictors of consumers’ WTP for a duck fed with both insect-meal and live insects. This study provides insights for policymakers and the private sector. We suggest that increasing consumers’ awareness by communicating the positive environmental impact of the use of insect as feed can potentially differentiate meat products for consumers and influence their purchase preferences.

Samia ricini (Wm. Jones) andSamia cynthia (Drury) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) have been used as traditional sources of food as well as silk-producing insects. However, the phylogenetic relationship between the two silkworms remains to be addressed. In this study, the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene sequences corresponding to DNA barcodes from 13Samia species were analysed, and a DNA barcode-based phylogenetic framework for theseSamia species was provided. Phylogenetic analysis showed that multiple individuals of a species could be clustered together. Our analysis revealed a close relationship amongSamia yayukae Paukstadt, Peigler and Paukstadt,Samia abrerai Naumann and Peigler,Samia kohlli Naumann and Peigler,Samia naessigi Naumann and Peigler,Samia naumanni Paukstadt, Peigler and Paukstadt, andSamia kalimantanensis Paukstadt and Paukstadt. The mixed clustering relationship and low Kimura-2-parameter (K2P) genetic distance (0.006) between individuals ofS. ricini andSamia canningi (Hutton) indicated that the cultivated silkwormS. ricini was derived from the non-cultivated silkwormS. canningi. The remote phylogenetic relationship and high K2P genetic distance (0.039) indicated thatS. ricini andS. cynthia are distinct species, thus providing solid molecular evidence that they had entirely independent origins. The relationships betweenS. kalimantanensis andS. naumanni and betweenS. cynthia andSamia wangi Naumann and Peigler, as well as the potential cryptic species withinS. abrerai were also discussed. This is the first study to assess the DNA barcodes of the genusSamia, which supplements the knowledge of species identification and provides the first molecular phylogenetic framework forSamia species.

In this article, periodic solutions from a fine focus $ U = 0 $, are accomplished for several classes. Some classes have polynomial coefficients, while the remaining classes $ C_{14, 7} $, $ C_{16, 8} $ and $ C_{5, 5}, $ $ C_{6, 6} $ have non-homogeneous and homogenous trigonometric coefficients accordingly. By adopting a systematic procedure of bifurcation that occurs under perturbation of the coefficients, we have succeeded to find the highest known multiplicity $ 10 $ as an upper bound for the class $ C_{9, 4} $, $ C_{11, 3} $ with algebraic and $ C_{5, 5}, $ $ C_{6, 6} $ with trigonometric coefficients. Polynomials of different degrees with various coefficients have been discussed using symbolic computation in Maple 18. All of the results are executed and validated by using past and present theory, and they were found to be novel and authentic in their respective domains.
A mesh adaptation algorithm using new monitor and estimator function for discontinuous and layered solution
Authors: Mishra Prabhat , Gupta Vikas , Dubey Ritesh Kumar
Published: August 2021

In this work a novel mesh adaptation technique is proposed to approximate discontinuous or boundary layer solution of partial differential equations. We introduce new estimator and monitor function to detect solution region containing discontinuity and layered region. Subsequently, this information is utilized along with equi-distribution principle to adapt the mesh locally. Numerical tests for numerous scalar problems are presented. These results clearly demonstrate the robustness of this method and non-oscillatory nature of the computed solutions.
A quadrature rule of Lobatto-Gaussian for numerical integration of analytic functions
Authors: Mohanty Sanjit Kumar , Dash Rajani Ballav
Published: August 2021

A novel quadrature rule is formed combining Lobatto six point transformed rule and Gauss-Legendre five point transformed rule each having precision nine. The mixed rule so formed is of precision eleven. Through asymptotic error estimation the novelty of the quadrature rule is justified. Some test integrals have been evaluated using the mixed rule and its constituents both in non-adaptive and adaptive modes. The results are found to be quite encouraging for the mixed rule which is in conformation with the theoretical prediction.
Emerging Economies and Financing of SMEs
Authors: Han Liang , Xiang Xin , Yang Xingquan
Published: August 2021

Existing evidence has shown that SMEs make great contributions to innovation, job creation and economic growth. This chapter reviews recent literature on (1) the important roles played by SMEs in emerging markets and (2) the impacts of financial development on SME finance in such markets. It also uses a unique database form World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) to document the financing patterns, constraints and other financial issues of SMEs in emerging markets. The descriptive statistics derived from WBES show clear variations of SME financing patterns between emerging and developed markets and shed light on the important role played by financial development in financing SMEs.
Exploring the Links Between CSR, Good Governance, and Corporate Reputation
Authors: Rubio-Andrés Mercedes , Ramos-González Mª del Mar , Sastre-Castillo Miguel Ángel
Published: August 2021

The chapter looks to contribute in a theoretical way to the measurement of the concepts of CSR (corporate social responsibility), good governance, and reputation in SMEs, since they are concepts of great importance in business management and are related. Social responsibility actions through the exercise of good governance means that SMEs can obtain a solid reputation. The purpose of the chapter is to develop how companies that incorporate social responsibility into their business model achieve a better image in the eyes of their stakeholders. Codes of ethics play an important role as an instrument of good governance. As a result, the chapter proposes measurement indicators to be used in future empirical research to verify the effects of causality. They can be a valuable tool for knowledge management as a source of innovation for SMEs.
The Phenomenon of High-Growth SMEs (Gazelles), Part 2
Authors: Guilmi Redouane , Mokhtari Bouchaib , Oulhadj Badia
Published: August 2021

The primary objective of this paper is to advance the theoretical knowledge on the phenomenon of gazelles by integrating the findings of previous studies into a conceptual model that would account for a sustainable high growth. A theoretical explorative and deductive method is adopted. A number of published works on gazelles were systematically reviewed. Based on this review, the paper attempts to identify the key factors that have been found to explain the high growth of the gazelles and its discontinuity, and integrate them to form a conceptual model. The proposed model illustrates the linkages between Entrepreneurship and Marketing disciplines. Five building blocks of the model are identified. It is developed based on previous studies on gazelles which are majorly mixed sector studies. Therefore, to refine the understanding of the phenomenon of HG-SMEs, future research suggestions would be to enrich the concepts obtained from the literature by gathering the data from the field and to test the new model in HGSMEs operating only in the service industry.
Contributions of Entrepreneurial Orientation to Competitive Advantage
Authors: Rua Orlando Manuel Martins Marques Lima
Published: August 2021

The main objective of this chapter is to analyze the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and competitive advantage on Portuguese exporting textiles small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Therefore, a quantitative methodological approach was used, conducting a descriptive, exploratory, and transversal empirical study, having applied a questionnaire to a sample of Portuguese SMEs, associated of the Portuguese textile association (ATP). The structural equations model was used for this purpose, using the partial least squares (PLS). Based on survey data from 247 firms, the empirical results indicate that 1) innovation have a positive and significant impact on differentiation, 2) proactivity and risk-taking does not have a positive and significant impact on differentiation, and 3) innovation, proactivity, and risk-taking does not have a positive and significant impact on cost leadership. This study shows that Portuguese textile SMEs seek to support and stimulate new ideas, experimentation, and creativity that surely result in new products, services, and processes.
The Role of Small and Medium Practices in the Sustainability Reporting of Italian Small and Medium Enterprises
Authors: Agostini Marisa , Costa Ericka , Bagnoli Carlo
Published: August 2021

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have a prominent role in both the European and the Italian economies, but their approach towards corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability is still underdeveloped. The reasons are mainly related to perceived low economic returns, lack of enforced compliance of the legislation, limited financial and practical support. In overcoming these problems, the role of small and medium practices (SMPs) can be determinant due to the relationship between SMEs and their (not only accounting) consultants. This chapter focuses on SMPs' role in promoting SMEs' initiatives and also considers the academic debate about their sustainability reporting. The investigation of this stream of research and the results of a web survey (involving SMPs in the Northeast of Italy) emphasize how SMPs can support SMEs' sustainable practices and reporting.
Social Media Use as an Enabler of Marketing Evolution in Knowledge-Intensive SMEs
Authors: Atanassova Iva , Clark Lillian
Published: August 2021

This chapter identifies the operating and dynamic capabilities interactions that are supported by social media use in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), specifically knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS). The focus on social media market intelligence accumulation and assimilation as an operating capability which enables dynamic marketing capability development in the SME marketing context, complements the prevalent focus in the literature on SME adoption and use of social media, as well as literature on how dynamic capabilities alter operating capability. The chapter presents a case study of a KIBS SME operating in South East England. Data was collected via semi-structured interviews with key actors and social media data, and thematically analysed. The findings suggest that the company develops absorptive capacity at the operating level by absorbing intelligence through social media use, and this learning is captured and transformed at the marketing planning level as a dynamic capability, reconfiguring future marketing operational capabilities.

This research examines the factors that contribute to the utilization of social media by the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the food industry in Brunei Darussalam. It also investigates how social media provides opportunities to SMEs. This research was done using a quantitative method through primary research that was focused on small and medium-sized food vendors in Brunei Darussalam. Survey questions were distributed to food SMEs and vendors, who use social media to assist them in conducting their business, to serve as a guideline to understand how social media networks can lead to positive business outcomes and how understanding key factors may lead to optimizing product portfolios and to discover new opportunities for their business to expand. Based on the authors' research, cost effectiveness was found to influence social media usage among the small and medium food vendors in Brunei. Factors such as trust, interactivity and compatibility, however were not found to be the factors influencing the utilization of social media.
