Published: October 2020

PurposeSocial procurement policies are an emerging policy instrument being used by governments around the world to leverage infrastructure and construction spending to address intractable social problems in the communities they represent. The relational nature of social procurement policies requires construction firms to develop new collaborative partnerships with organisations from the government, not-for-profit and community sectors. The aim of this paper is to address the paucity of research into the risks and opportunities of entering into these new cross-sector partnerships from the perspectives of the stakeholders involved and how this affects collaborative potential and social value outcomes for intended beneficiaries.Design/methodology/approachThis case study research is based on a unique collaborative intermediary called Connectivity Centre created by an international contractor to coordinate its social procurement strategies. The findings draw on a thematic analysis of qualitative data from focus groups with 35 stakeholders from the construction, government, not-for-profit, social enterprise, education and employment sectors.FindingsFindings indicate that potentially enormous opportunities which social procurement offers are being undermined by stakeholder nervousness about policy design, stability and implementation, poor risk management, information asymmetries, perverse incentives, candidate supply constraints, scepticism, traditional recruitment practices and industry capacity constraints. While these risks can be mitigated through collaborative initiatives like Connectivity Centres, this depends on new “relational” skills, knowledge and competencies which do not currently exist in construction. In conclusion, when social procurement policy requirements are excessive and imposed top-down, with little understanding of the construction industry's compliance capacity, intended social outcomes of these policies are unlikely to be achieved.Originality/valueThis research draws on theories of cross-sector collaboration developed in the realm of public sector management to address the lack of research into how the new cross-sector partnerships encouraged by emerging social procurement policies work in the construction industry. Contributing to the emerging literature on cross-sector collaboration, the findings expose the many challenges of working in cross-sector partnerships in highly transitionary project-based environments like construction.

Published: October 2020

Purpose
Higher education institutions are widely known both for their promotion to education for sustainable development (ESD) and for their contribution as living labs to urban management strategies. As for strategies, smart and learning campuses have recently gained significant attention. This paper aims to report an air quality monitoring experience with focus on the smart and learning campus and discuss its implications for the university context with regard to ESD and sustainable development goal (SDG) integration.

Design/methodology/approach
The air quality monitoring was held at the main campus of University of Passo Fundo and focused on three pollutants directly related to vehicle emissions. The air quality index (AQI) was presented on a website, along with information regarding health problems caused by air pollution, main sources of emissions and strategies to reduce it.

Findings
The results showed how the decrease in air quality is related to the traffic emissions and the fact that exposing students to a smart and learning environment could teach them about sustainability education.

Practical implications
This case study demonstrated how monitoring air quality in a smart environment could highlight and communicate the impact of urban mobility on air quality and alerted to the need for more sustainable choices, including transports.

Originality/value
This paper contributes to the literature by showing the potential of a smart-learning campus integration and its contribution towards the ESD and the UN SDGs.
The relationship between entrepreneurial cognitions and sustainability orientation: the case of an emerging market
Authors: Abdelnaeim Shrouk Mahmoud , El-Bassiouny Noha 
Published: October 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the cognitive drivers that push entrepreneurs toward sustainable venture creation using entrepreneurial cognitive scripts. In particular, this study tests the relationship between entrepreneurial cognitive scripts and sustainability orientation among entrepreneurs in an emerging economy to understand whether entrepreneurial cognitive scripts act as a driver toward sustainability.

Design/methodology/approach
A primary research study was conducted using a structured questionnaire among 351 sample respondents, of which 54% labeled themselves as entrepreneurs and 46% labeled themselves as traditional business people, business students or non-entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs represented more than ten different industries such as agriculture, food and beverage, education, technology and entertainment.

Findings
The findings of this study highlighted a negative relationship between entrepreneurial cognitions and sustainability orientation as hypothesized. Additionally, non-entrepreneurs were found to be more sustainability-oriented, whereas entrepreneurs with high levels of cognitive scripts were found less concerned about sustainability issues.

Research limitations/implications
This study has a geographic limitation as it has been conducted in a developing country, which is Egypt. Accordingly, the results should be generalized with caution to other developing nations.

Practical implications
This study shows the importance of sustainable entrepreneurship education as an important part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The study sheds the light on the different stakeholders that are responsible for raising awareness about the importance of sustainability in developing countries.

Originality/value
This study empirically validates the relationship between entrepreneurial cognitive scripts and sustainability orientation among several industries in a developing country. The study has also a novel contribution in validating that non-entrepreneurs can enjoy entrepreneurial cognitive scripts without the necessity of starting their ventures.
RoomTetris: an optimal procedure for committing rooms to reservations in hotels
Authors: Battiti Roberto , Brunato Mauro , Battiti Filippo 
Published: October 2020

PurposeMany hotels allocate guests to specific rooms immediately after reservation. This happens because individual rooms are sold (and there is no concept of room type) or because the assignment is done by hand at reservation or because of a connection with a channel manager, which is immediately fixing the room number after a reservation request. This early allocation is suboptimal, and it causes the unnecessary rejection of some reservations when the hotel has a high occupancy level. The purpose of this paper is to investigate different room allocation algorithms, including an optimal one (called RoomTetris), aiming at higher occupancy levels and profitability.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology is based on theoretical results and experimentation. The optimality or the proposed RoomTetris algorithm is demonstrated. Experiments are executed in different contexts, including realistic ones, through the adoption of a hotel simulator, to measure the improvements in the occupancy rate of the optimal and heuristic strategies with respect to random or sub-optimal assignments of rooms.FindingsThe main results are that smart allocation algorithms can greatly reduce the rejection rate (reservation requests which cannot be fit into the hotel room plan) and improve the occupancy level, the percentage of available rooms or beds sold for the various periods.Research limitations/implicationsThis analysis can be extended by considering cancellations and overbookings. A second possibility to add flexibility in room allocation for hotels having more than one type of rooms is that the hotel can upgrade and offer a high-price room to the customer, which given an even large flexibility to fix rooms by shifting customers to other compatible types. In addition, more complex integrations with revenue management can also be considered, for cases in which the cost of a room depends on the number of guests.Practical implicationsGiven that the difference in occupancy rate of the optimal algorithm is particularly large in high season and high-request periods, periods which are usually associated to higher rates and higher volumes, the proposed algorithm will improve the main financial performance indicators such as revenue per available room by an even bigger multiplier, depending on the hotel pricing policy. Because the room allocation process can be completely automated, the adoption of appropriate smart allocation algorithms represents a low-hanging fruit to be picked by efficient hotel managers.Originality/valueTo the best of the knowledge this is the first proposal of an optimal algorithm (with proof of optimality) for the considered problem.
Social recovery: a new interpretation to recovery-orientated services – a critical literature review
Authors: Norton Michael John , Swords Calvin 
Published: October 2020

Purpose
In 2020, the significance of “lived experience” and “service user” accounts of recovery has become central to the delivery of mental health policy and practice. Reflecting on the first known account of personal recovery in the late-20th century provided new hope and encouragement that those living with mental illness could live a fulfilling life. Taking this into consideration, the purpose of this paper is to explore the relevance to this experience of those using services today.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors present a critical literature review, which is underpinned by a systematic approach adopted from Higgins and Pinkerton (1998). This involved a six-step approach seeking to answer the question – What are the service users’ views on the recovery concept within mental health services?

Findings
The conceptualisation of recovery continues to focus on biomedical parameters. A new interpretation of recovery is beginning to materialise: social recovery. This new interpretation appears to be achievable through six key influencers: health, economics, social interaction/connection, housing, personal relationships and support.

Originality/value
Building on Ramon’s (2018) argument regarding the need for mental health policy to focus on the concept of social recovery, this study extends on this proposition by providing a foundational evidence base. More specifically, it not only supports the need for this shift in policy but also identifies a new interpretation building in practice. Furthermore, the authors highlight six key pillars that could potentially shape such provisions for policy.

Published: October 2020

PurposeBlockchain technology has fascinated researchers and industry professionals. Since its birth, the attention for blockchain has been exponentially increasing, however, most of the industries are still skeptical in adoption for value creation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the actual level of implementation and diffusion of blockchain technology within the logistics and transportation industry by comparing and using the collective intelligence of academic literature and industry practices of implementation of blockchain in this domain.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses the methodology of systematic literature review along with inductive reasoning. The systematic literature review of academic and industry frontiers together has brought a bigger and real picture into consideration.FindingsThe results highlight that, within the transportation sector, currently there is a very low diffusion of blockchain, although applications show immense promises for the future. The various application where blockchain technology can make a significant impact are also identified.Research limitations/implicationsDue to the early stage of experimentation with blockchain technology, high-quality data which is relevant to the optimized usage of this technology in the logistics and transportation industry is not available.Practical implicationsThe study will help the practitioners in identifying additional avenues in which they could implement blockchain for the effectiveness, efficiency and growth of the logistics and transportation industry.Originality/valueThe analysis of mixed sources of information for undertaking systematic literature review by assessing academic and trade publications is a novelty of this study.
Reflection on success and failures: scale development and validation
Authors: Matsuo Makoto 
Published: October 2020

PurposeAlthough positive psychology emphasizes the importance of reflecting on success in promoting strengths use and self-efficacy, no research has developed a measure of reflection on success. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the scales for reflection on success and failures.Design/methodology/approachStudy 1 was conducted to extract the dimensions of reflection on success and failures using survey data from nurses (n= 298), whereas Study 2 involved validation of the scales using a two-wave survey of physical therapists (n= 291).FindingsIn Study 1, the factors of “reflection on success” and “reflection on failures” were extracted by exploratory factor analysis. In Study 2, the discriminant validity of the two scales was established via confirmatory factor analyses. The structural equation modeling results indicated that reflection on success promoted work authenticity, work engagement and strengths use, while reflection on failures only promoted work engagement, indicating the convergent validity of the scales.Research limitations/implicationsAs the research subjects were medical professionals in Japan, the scales need to be validated with samples from a wide range of occupations and cultural backgrounds, in future research.Originality/valueThe present research expands the literature on reflection and strengths-based approach by introducing the “success–failures” dimension based on positive psychology, broaden-and-build theory and job demands–resources theory.
Basics and recent advances in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis
Authors: Nakahara Takeshi , Kido‐Nakahara Makiko , Tsuji Gaku , Furue Masutaka 
Published: October 2020

AbstractAtopic dermatitis is a common, chronic inflammatory skin disease that is characterized by skin barrier dysfunction, inflammation and intense itch. Although the exact mechanisms behind its pathogenesis remain unclear, it is evident that the complex interplay among barrier dysfunction, inflammation and itch are critical in its development, progression and chronicity. Abnormalities in filaggrin, intercellular lipids and tight junctions induce barrier‐disrupted skin, which produces thymic stromal lymphopoietin, interleukin (IL)‐25 and IL‐33; these in turn promote skin inflammation characterized by type 2 immune deviation. This inflammation then downregulates the expression of filaggrin in keratinocytes and exacerbates epidermal barrier dysfunction. Furthermore, various itch mediators/pruritogens produced during this inflammatory process can act directly on sensory nerves and cause itch. In this review, we summarize the basics and recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis focusing on three aspects: barrier dysfunction, skin inflammation and itch.
Insufficient native pollinators during artificially induced early flowering decrease yield and long‐term economic viability of a tropical fruit crop
Authors: Sritongchuay Tuanjit , Wayo Kanuengnit , Orr Michael C. , Hughes Alice C. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

The management of crops outside the regular cropping calendar can improve profits when supply is low and prices are high, but we do not know how induced, early flowering impacts the pollination services that crops require.

This study examines the effects of flowering time and pollinator management, including managed honeybee colonies and ground flower cover, on the pollination of the tropical fruit tree, longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.), comparing between in‐season flowering (naturally) and off‐season flowering (chemically induced) in Northern Thailand.

Visitation rates of flower visitor groups significantly differed among treatments: for in‐season flowering, wild bees were the most frequent pollinator group, whereas in the off‐season flowering, there were no wild bees, and instead dipterans were the most frequent pollinator group. Some off‐season plantations have honeybee hives present and in this situation honeybees were the most frequent pollinator group.

We show that temporal variation in the pollinator community significantly alters the pollination efficiency of longan crops. Consequently, longan production from off‐season longan farms generates lower net profit in the absence of managed bees and wild bees, and wild bees produced higher seed‐sets than either honeybees or dipterans.

Synthesis and applications. Wild bees were the main pollinator group of longan in the in‐season flowering resulting in high fruit production; whereas in the off‐season flowering honeybees and dipterans were the main pollinator group. Longan production from off‐season longan farms without managed bee produced less net profit. The farmers practicing off‐season with honeybee hives management gain the largest net profit. Developing mechanisms to promote and maintain pollinator abundance and diversity is likely to increase the resilience of the system in addition to profit in the long term; thus, efforts should be made to provide more nesting habitat and reduce pesticide use.
Phenotypic trait variability as an indication of adaptive capacity in a cosmopolitan marine diatom

Published: October 2020

SummaryDetermining the adaptive capacity of marine phytoplankton is important in predicting changes in phytoplankton responses to ocean warming. Phytoplankton may consist of high levels of standing phenotypic and genetic variability, the basis of rapid evolution; however, few studies have quantified trait variability within and amongst closely related diatom species. Using 35 clonal cultures of the ubiquitous marine diatom Leptocylindrus isolated from six locations, spanning 2000 km of the south‐eastern Australian coastline, we found evidence of significant intraspecific morphological and metabolic trait variability, which for 8 of 9 traits (growth rate, biovolume, C:N, silica deposition, silica incorporation rate, chl‐a, and photosynthetic efficiency under dark adapted, growth irradiance, and high‐light adaptation) were greater within a species than between species. Moreover, only two traits revealed a latitudinal trend with strains isolated from lower latitudes showing significantly higher silicification rates and protein:lipid content compared to their higher latitude counterparts. These data mirror recent studies on diatom intraspecific genetic diversity, which has found comparable levels of genetic diversity at a single site to those thousands of kilometres apart, and provide evidence of a functional role of diatom diversity that will allow for rapid adaptation via ecological selection on standing variation in response to changing conditions.
Twitter, disasters and cultural heritage: A case study of the 2015 Nepal earthquake
Authors: Kumar Pakhee 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe purpose of this paper was to understand how Twitter users responded to the cultural heritage damaged during the 2015 Nepal earthquake. This paper utilizes 201,457 tweets (including retweets) from three different data sets. The analysis shows that approximately 4% of tweets were regarding cultural heritage. Moreover, asymmetrical information was available on Twitter regarding cultural heritage during the Nepal earthquake, that is not every site received equal attention from the public. Damaged sites received more attention than unaffected sites. The content of tweets can be divided into five categories: information, sentiment, memory, action and noise. Most people (89.1%) used Twitter during the disaster to disseminate information regarding damaged cultural heritage sites.
A moderate interpretation of group privacy illustrated by cases from disaster management
Authors: Gerdes Anne 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis article uses cases from disaster management as a springboard for presenting a critique of a right to group privacy in a strong sense. As such, the article challenges the idea of strong group privacy, which holds that there are situations in which the group, and not its members, is the holder of a right to privacy. The paper argues for a moderate interpretation of group privacy, stressing that group privacy is a matter of privacy for the members constituting the group. Although data‐driven knowledge discovery implies profiling by group categorization, this observation does not constitute a reason to introduce a right to group privacy for other purposes than to protect the individual's right to privacy. The article demonstrates preliminary theoretical considerations, which may inform the creation of a framework that protects personal privacy by considering a moderate sense of group privacy suited to tackle privacy challenges implied by data analytics.
