Professional capital after the pandemic: revisiting and revising classic understandings of teachers' work
Authors: Hargreaves Andy , Fullan Michael 
Published: July 2020

PurposeThis article revisits three classic findings from Dan Lortie's 1975 book Schoolteacher, in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and its possible aftermaths. These findings are that teachers and others base their ideas about teaching on the long apprenticeship of observation as students; they derive their satisfaction from the psychic rewards of teaching – the emotional satisfaction and feedback that teachers got from students; and they work in conservative cultures of individualism.Design/methodology/approachThe article appraises Lortie's foundational text in relation to contemporary public domain surveys and op-ed articles about the impact of the pandemic on teaching and learning.FindingsCOVID-19 created conditions that undermined traditional psychic rewards, weakened the tenuous student–teacher relationship as more students found schooling less engaging, began to give parents distorted observations of teaching online and made teacher collaboration more difficult.Research limitations/implicationsDue to the current nature of the pandemic and the shortage of just-in-time original data, the research relies on rapid responses and op-ed perceptions rather than on an established body of literature and database.Practical implicationsThe postpandemic agenda holds out three ways to modernize Lortie's agenda in ways that advance the presence and impact of professional capital. These ways comprise new psychic rewards for students and not just teachers, a more open professionalism that is actively inclusive of parents and collaborative professionalism that has greater strength and depth.Social implicationsEducational reform in the postpandemic age must be transformational and not seek to return to normal.Originality/valueThe paper gives new meaning to Lortie's original ideas on COVID-19 circumstances
Experimental determination of the residual compressive strength of concrete columns subjected to different fire durations and load ratios
Authors: Nair Anjaly , Salem Osama (Sam) 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
At elevated temperatures, concrete undergoes changes in its mechanical and thermal properties, which mainly cause degradation of strength and eventually may lead to the failure of the structure. Retrofitting is a desirable option to rehabilitate fire damaged concrete structures. However, to ensure safe reuse of fire-exposed buildings and to adopt proper retrofitting methods, it is essential to evaluate the residual load-bearing capacity of such fire-damaged reinforced concrete structures. The focus of the experimental study presented in this paper aims to investigate the fire performance of concrete columns exposed to a standard fire, and then evaluate its residual compressive strengths after fire exposure of different durations.

Design/methodology/approach
To effectively study the fire performance of such columns, eight identical 200 × 200 × 1,500-mm high reinforced concrete columns test specimens were subjected to two different fire exposure (1- and 2-h) while being loaded with two different load ratios (20% and 40% of the column ultimate design axial compressive load). In a subsequent stage and after complete cooling down, residual compressive strength capacity tests were performed on each fire exposed column.

Findings
Experimental results revealed that the columns never regain its original capacity after being subjected to a standard fire and that the residual compressive strength capacity dropped to almost 50% and 30% of its ambient temperature capacity for the columns exposed to 1- and 2-h fire durations, respectively. It was also noticed that, for the tested columns, the applied load ratio has much less effect on the column’s residual compressive strength compared to that of the fire duration.

Originality/value
According to the unique outcomes of this experimental study and, as the fire-damaged concrete columns possessed considerable residual compressive strength, in particular those exposed to shorter fire duration, it is anticipated that with proper retrofitting techniques such as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) wrapping, the fire-damaged columns can be rehabilitated to regain at least portion of its lost load-bearing capacities. Accordingly, the residual compressive resistance data obtained from this study can be effectively used but not directly to adopt optimal retrofitting strategies for such fire-damaged concrete columns, as well as to be used in validating numerical models that can be usefully used to account for the thermally-induced degradation of the mechanical properties of concrete material and ultimately predict the residual compressive strengths and deformations of concrete columns subjected to different load intensity ratios for various fire durations.

Authors: Xu Lan , Lu Xianlei 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
This study aims to explore the influencing factors of online tourism service quality to clarify the relationship between such factors and the degree of influence so that targeted and effective measures to improve service quality can be suggested.

Design/methodology/approach
A questionnaire is used to obtain original data, establish the fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) structure chart model and modify the model.

Findings
The results reveal that comprehensive service types, comprehensive information provided, true and accurate, upgrade and update, payment security, data and information security, customer rights and interests protection, service friendliness and evaluation processing are the key influencing factors in online tourism service quality. In addition, the FCM can also predict the improvement of service quality.

Originality/value
To establish an FCM model, this study establishes the evaluation framework of influencing factors of online tourism service quality and identifies the cause and effect of 26 indicators. The mechanism of influencing factors of online tourism service quality is explored through the iteration of the model.
No business as usual: a case for data ethics and data governance in the age of coronavirus
Authors: C Yallop Anca , Aliasghar Omid 
Published: July 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this commentary is to reflect on the transformative changes organisations experience, in the form of increased use of emergent information and communication technologies (ICTs), as a significant factor in enabling the continuation of normal business practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent key ethical considerations in the use of new technology by organisations.Design/methodology/approachThis commentary adopts a reflective approach and is based on a review of theories on diffusion of innovation, dynamic capabilities and data ethics and governance, as well as up-to-date business reports to reflect on the ethical implications of new technologies for organisations.FindingsOrganisations from different industries and sectors around the world have experienced major disruptive changes because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Adoption and integration of new ICTs occurred at an accelerated pace in a collective effort to maintain “business as usual”. The use of emergent technologies is not without risks. The commentary argues that, in times of crisis, it is vital that organisations address the growing concerns around privacy and security of personal data by designing effective data governance frameworks that go beyond a mere compliance with existing policies and prevailing data privacy and protection laws to ensure data security and protection for all stakeholders.Originality/valueThis commentary is making the case for more considered approaches to data governance and data ethics in business following the unprecedented challenges posed by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and suggests possible ways of moving forward from an ethical perspective.
Toward contextual understanding: antecedents of work-family interface in India
Authors: Raina Mahima , Cho Eunae , Singh Kamlesh 
Published: July 2020

PurposeThe current study examined cultural (diffuse orientation), organizational (organizational work-family climates) and individual (role centrality) antecedents of key work-family (WF) experiences (WF conflict, WF enrichment and WF boundary management) in India.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data were collected from 586 white-collar employees in India. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.FindingsAnalyses revealed interesting culture-specific insights into the WF dynamic. For example, less demarcation between WF boundaries (diffuse orientation) did not increase WF conflict, but significantly fostered WF enrichment, challenging the findings in the Western cultural contexts. A supportive organizational WF climate was found to be a crucial factor that alleviated WF conflict, whereas greater investment in work role led to greater WF enrichment.Research limitations/implicationsThis study addresses a dearth of research on antecedents of WF interface that simultaneously examines the positive and negative aspects of WF interface. It also advances the WF literature by generating empirical evidence related to the cultural dimension of diffuse orientation.Originality/valueThis study provides a holistic view of WF interface in the Indian context by incorporating various antecedents in one model.
invisaWear: evolving the entrepreneurial mind-set
Authors: Santos Roberto S. , Sun Sunny Li , Luo Xiaoyi 
Published: July 2020

Theoretical basis
Why do some individuals become entrepreneurs while others do not? This fundamental question has vexed entrepreneurship scholars for some time, giving rise to various schools of thought. Traditional economic motivation theories, for example, suggest that entrepreneurial opportunities arise from changes in either supply (Shane, 2000) or demand (Dew et al., 2004) and emphasize personal economic gain as a motivator for pursuing entrepreneurship. Both neoclassical equilibrium and psychological theories take a person-centric perspective whereby stable, enduring differences among people’s characteristics, determines who becomes an entrepreneur. Opportunity recognition may be enhanced through perspective taking (i.e. putting oneself in the shoes of another person) (Prandelli et al., 2016).

Research methodology
The founders of the company provided us with access to the inner workings of the company, their mentors and advisors and themselves. This study used archival research and interviews when preparing this case. Interviews allow for the development of uncensored, real-life insights into the entrepreneur’s business experience. The authors first conducted a 90-min interview with Rajia and Ray at DifferenceMaker® Central on the UMass Lowell campus. DifferenceMaker® provided us with pictures and timelines from when Rajia and Ray participated in the various DifferenceMaker® activities and competitions. A follow-on 90-min interview was conducted with the founders four months later at the UMass Lowell Innovation Hub to delve deeper into their transition from engineers to entrepreneurs.

Case overview/synopsis
In the summer of 2016, the future of invisaWear suddenly became uncertain. Rajia Abdelaziz and Ray Hamilton had conceived an idea for smart jewelry that they felt solved a real problem. But it was one thing to have a great idea and quite another to turn that idea into a real business. As engineering students, they were accustomed to solving problems, but if they truly wanted to make an impact, they had to learn to solve problems as entrepreneurs. With the help of DifferenceMaker® and their mentors, they developed an entrepreneurial mind-set and decided to build invisaWear into a company.

Complexity academic level
This case is suitable for an undergraduate course in business or entrepreneurship. This case is intended to illustrate to both business and non-business students how individuals with different backgrounds can become entrepreneurs. Presented as a real-life example of how engineering students can make the transition to an entrepreneurial mind-set, the case can also be used to hone in on select topics including opportunity recognition, problem-solving, ideation and the business model canvas.
Guidance for successful tree planting initiatives
Authors: Brancalion Pedro H. S. , Holl Karen D. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

A growing number of initiatives at global, regional and national scales propose to plant millions, billions or even trillions of trees as a simple solution to resolve complex environmental problems. However, tree planting is much more complicated than it seems.

We summarize the multifaceted decision‐making process needed and offer guidelines to increase the success of the proposed ambitious efforts to increase tree cover world‐wide.

Given the varied definitions of and motivations for tree planting, it is critical that stakeholders work together to clearly define the biophysical and socioeconomic goals of each project. Then a series of questions must be addressed about where and how (e.g. planting trees vs. allowing for natural forest regrowth) to most effectively achieve these goals and minimize unintended negative consequences, as well as how, when and by whom success of efforts will be evaluated.

Key guidelines to successfully increase tree cover include: (a) first addressing the underlying drivers of deforestation; (b) integrating decision‐making across scales from local to global; (c) tailoring tree planting strategies to clearly stated project goals and planning, adaptively managing and evaluating success over a sufficiently long timeframe; (d) focusing on the forest ecosystem as a whole, and not just the trees; (e) coordinating different land uses and (f) involving stakeholders at all stages of the planning process.

Synthesis and applications. Tree planting, along with other strategies to increase tree cover in appropriate locations and contexts, can make a valuable contribution to ensuring the ecological and social well‐being of our planet in coming decades, but only if these efforts are considered as one component of multifaceted solutions to complex environmental problems and are carefully planned, implemented and monitored over a sufficiently long time‐scale with stakeholder engagement and broader consideration of socio‐ecological complexities.
Limited evidence for a consistent seed mass‐dispersal trade‐off in wind‐dispersed pines
Authors: Wyse Sarah V. , Hulme Philip E. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

Much of the variation in dispersal potential among seeds of different plant species has been related to a putative trade‐off between dispersal potential and seed mass. Yet to date there are few taxonomically controlled comparisons that explore the generality of this relationship across and within multiple species.

We measured the seed mass and dispersal traits across multiple pine species that encompassed a 100‐fold range in seed mass. We expected that for the larger seeded species, the resource investment required in the cone to house seeds and their wings may constrain dispersal potential. We examined the relative roles of samara and cone traits in determining the terminal velocity, and investigated how the relative investment of resources in cone structure related to seed mass and samara dispersal traits. Finally, we examined the partitioning of variation in seed mass and terminal velocity within and among individuals of each species.

We found a strong positive relationship between seed mass and samara terminal velocity across all 12 species; however, this seed mass‐dispersal trade‐off was only significant within two of our species. For most species, wing loading was the most important trait determining samara terminal velocity. Across species, increases in cone investment were associated with heavier seeds with longer wings but higher terminal velocities, while within‐species increases in cone investment were associated with decreases in terminal velocity. The majority of the variation in terminal velocity occurred within individual trees, while seed mass variation mostly occurred among trees and may therefore be subject to stronger selection pressure.

Synthesis. We have found strong support for a trade‐off between seed mass and dispersal potential across a wide range of wind‐dispersed Pinus species. Importantly, we show that this trade‐off is largely absent within species, potentially reducing selective pressure. This may be largely due to the relationships between cone investment and samara traits, whereby increases in cone investment result in a proportionally greater increase in wing size than seed mass. Where resources are limited, investment in seed mass may be prioritized over dispersal.
Better understanding positive and negative impacts of disasters on regional economies, with special reference to China
Authors: Kong Feng 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThe impact of disasters on the macroeconomy has moved to the centre of sustainable development in a country and regions, as disasters can affect all sectors of society. It is of great practical value for comprehensive disaster reduction and sustainable development to better determine these impacts, analyse different types of disasters and different impact types, and clarify both positive and negative implications for the macroeconomy from the short term to longer term. Disasters have played an especially important role on China's economic development with implications examined in this paper.
Hidden in plain sight? The human resource management practitioner's role in dealing with workplace conflict as a source of organisational–professional power
Authors: Roper Ian , Higgins Paul 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThis article examines the perceived importance of human resource (HR) practitioners' role as ‘organisational professionals’ at national and organisational levels. Informed by institutionalist theory and drawing upon interviews at national and organisational levels, a dissonance is identified in the degree to where HR's non‐substitutable expertise lies. It is concluded that HR's role in dealing with workplace conflict is under‐recognised at national level as it does not fit with the proactive ‘strategic’ narrative seen to be what HR needs to achieve to be influential. At organisational level, however, conflict management is a source of power because, unlike many other HR roles—valued as they may be—conflict management is the role that can least be substituted by non‐specialist HR practitioners because of its unpredictability.
LncRNA LINC00511 plays an oncogenic role in lung adenocarcinoma by regulating PKM2 expression via sponging miR‐625‐5p
Authors: Xue Jinghui , Zhang Fayan 
Published: July 2020

BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LAC) is the most prominent histological subtype of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a high rate of mortality and metastasis. Accumulating evidence has shown that long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play malfunctioning roles in the development of human tumors. Hence, this study aimed to determine the biological function of LINC00511 in LAC and to provide a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target for it.MethodsLINC00511 expression in LAC tissues and cell lines (H1299 and A549) were detected by real time‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR). Cell counting kit‐8 (CCK‐8) assay was employed to analyze cell proliferative ability. Cell metastasis change was measured using transwell assay. Moreover, we revealed a novel target gene of LINC00511 and elucidated the underlying competitive endogenous RNA regulatory mechanism in LAC cells.ResultsData from our study demonstrated that LINC00511 expression was increased in LAC tissues and cells in comparison to their corresponding controls. Moreover, overexpression of LINC00511 indicated the poor prognosis of LAC patients. Overexpression of LINC00511 promoted proliferation, invasion and migration capacities of LAC cells. Moreover, LINC00511 promoted LAC progression via serving as a sponge of miR‐625‐5p and regulating PKM2 expression.ConclusionsThe present study showed that LINC00511 was involved in LAC progression by targeting miR‐625‐5p/PKM2, indicating that LINC00511/miR‐625‐5p/PKM2 may function as promising therapeutic targets for LAC.
A critical examination of the use of research templates in accounting and finance
Authors: Bui Binh 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThis study investigates the use of Robert Faff’s Pitching Research® template (RF template) and its perceived benefits and disadvantages. Drawing on 38 interviews with accounting and finance researchers, this study finds that RF template is predominantly used by quantitative and finance academics, PhD students, and associate professors, although it provides benefits to both novice and experienced researchers. Concerns were raised relating to RF template’s usefulness, technical and process issues, and consequences on research outcomes. Suggestions are made with regards to further detail and modifications to structure and language. This study calls for reflective examination of the role played by templates in research practice.

Published: July 2020

BackgroundThe COVID‐19 pandemic in Ireland resulted in a nationwide quarantine on March 27, 2020. This study represents the first assessment of rates of anxiety and depression in the general population of Ireland during the pandemic.AimsOur first aim was to estimate the probable prevalence rates of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and depression and to identify sociodemographic risk factors associated with screening positive for GAD or depression. Our second aim was to determine if COVID‐19 related anxiety was highest amongst those in society at greatest risk of morality from COVID‐19.MethodSelf‐report data were collected from a nationally representative Irish sample (N = 1041) online between March 31 and April 5; the first week of the nationwide quarantine measures. Recognized cut‐off scores on the GAD‐7 and PHQ‐9 were used to estimate rates of GAD and depression. Correlates of screening positive for GAD or depression were assessed using logistic regression analysis.ResultsGAD (20.0%), depression (22.8%) and GAD or depression (27.7%) was common. Screening positive for GAD or depression was associated with younger age, female sex, loss of income due to COVID‐19, COVID‐19 infection and higher perceived risk of COVID‐19 infection. Citizens aged 65 and older had significantly higher levels of COVID‐19 related anxiety than adults aged 18–34.ConclusionsInitial results from this multi‐wave study monitoring changes in population anxiety and depression throughout the pandemic indicate that GAD and depression were common experiences in the population during the initial phase of the COVID‐19 pandemic.
