Published: July 2020

Purpose
The paper aims to provide a coaching framework for the millennial workforce using the Functional Fluency model. The coach empowers the millennials by asking powerful questions on each of the nine modes of the model. This will support them in “being in-charge”, “being self”, and “being with-it” to improve their personal effectiveness in workplace and personal life.

Design/methodology/approach
The framework offers the coach indicative powerful question based on nine modes of Functional Fluency model for coaching the millennials to improve their personal effectiveness in workplace and personal life.

Findings
Coaching the millennials is about making them aware on the way they expend their energies. Based on a millennial’s need for coaching, a coach asks powerful questions from one or more modes and explores their story to elicit realistic options for the next best step.

Research limitations/implications
The coach must possess the appropriate credentials to be a coach and have the knowledge of Functional Fluency. The questions in the framework are indicative of the modes.

Practical implications
The framework provides the coach using the Functional Fluency model to ask powerful “what-how” questions on each of the nine modes to elicit realistic options for way forward with a millennial “coachee”.

Originality/value
The organizations are devising innovative methods on training & development for the millennials. Coaching them with powerful questions on Functional Fluency Model provides the value on improving their interpersonal effectiveness at workplace and in personal life as well.

Published: July 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to provide a series of new methods for projecting a three-dimensional (3D) object onto a free-form surface. The projection algorithms presented can be divided into three types, namely, orthogonal, perspective and parallel projection.

Design/methodology/approach
For parametric surfaces, the computing strategy of the algorithm is to obtain an approximate solution by using a geometric algorithm, then improve the accuracy of the approximate solution using the Newton–Raphson iteration. For perspective projection and parallel projection on an implicit surface, the strategy replaces Newton–Raphson iteration by multi-segment tracing. The implementation takes two mesh objects as an example of calculating an image projected onto parametric and implicit surfaces. Moreover, a comparison is made for orthogonal projections with Hu’s and Liu’s methods.

Findings
The results show that the new method can solve the 3D objects projection problem in an effective manner. For orthogonal projection, the time taken by the new method is substantially less than that required for Hu’s method. The new method is also more accurate and faster than Liu’s approach, particularly when the 3D object has a large number of points.

Originality/value
The algorithms presented in this paper can be applied in many industrial applications such as computer aided design, computer graphics and computer vision.

Authors: Kern Andrea Parisi , Postay Renata , Schneck Eduardo Reuter , Mancio Mauricio , González Marco Aurélio Stumpf , Guerra Georgio 
Published: July 2020

PurposeThe central motivation for this study was to examine alternatives against the apartment area reduction as a safe way to reduce construction costs, adopted by many construction companies. From the building economic compactness index concept, it was studied the cost and environmental impacts (material consumption, embodied energy – EE and CO2 emission).Design/methodology/approachThe research strategy takes advantage of a case study aiming to investigate the relation between design characteristics related to area (m²) and building economic compactness index (%) with cost (Research Stage 1) and with environmental impacts: (Research Stage 2). The study involved real data from social housing projects, chosen in terms in terms of very similar features like size, area and constructive method (constants), however, with dissimilar compactness (variable).FindingsThe lack of direct relation between area and cost signs the importance of including the cost of vertical plans considered in the economic compactness building. The higher the economic compactness index, the lower the cost, the lower the amount of material, EE and CO2 emission parameters. However, due to the wide range of EE and CO2 values available, the reduction in the amount of materials achieved by increasing building economic compactness index may not be reflected in EE and CO2 gains.Research limitations/implicationsAs the limitation of this study, it must be taken into account a limited number of case buildings and the fact that the analysis is dependent on the reliability and accuracy of the data provided by constructors and the available information of EE and CO2 emission. As well discussed in the literature, the consistent database is a great challenge for the construction sector.Originality/valueThere might be alternatives to higher areas with relatively low-cost increments since results from buildings with the same area present different cost estimative and suggest a strong relationship with the economic compactness index. The large variation of EE and CO2 emission data indicates that reductions obtained by compactness increase may be impaired if the construction materials are produced with high levels of EE and CO2 emission. Thus, there must be an integrated effort on the part of designers (design and material specification) and manufacturers (material production), since isolated solutions may not be enough.
The Long-Term Trend Analysis and Scenario Simulation of the Carbon Price Based on the Energy-Economic Regulation
Authors: Li Zhao-Peng , Yang Li , Li Si-Rui , Yuan Xiaoling 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
China’s national carbon market will be officially launched in 2020, when it will become the world’s largest carbon market. However, China’s carbon market is faced with various major challenges. One of the most important challenges is its impact on the social and economic development of arid and semi-arid regions. By simulating the carbon price trends under different economic development and energy consumption levels, this study aims to help the government can plan ahead to formulate various countermeasures to promote the integration of arid and semi-arid regions into the national carbon market.

Design/methodology/approach
To achieve this goal, this paper builds a back propagation neural network model, takes the third phase of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) as the research object and uses the mean impact value method to screen out the important driving variables of European Union Allowance (EUA) price, including economic development (Stoxx600, Stoxx50, FTSE, CAC40 and DAX), black energy (coal and Brent), clean energy (gas, PV Crystalox Solar and Nordex) and carbon price alternatives Certification Emission Reduction (CER). Finally, this paper sets up six scenarios by combining the above variables to simulate the impact of different economic development and energy consumption levels on carbon price trends.

Findings
Under the control of the unchanged CER price level, economic development, black energy and clean energy development will all have a certain impact on the EUA price trends. When economic development, black energy consumption and clean energy development are on the rise, the EUA price level will increase. When the three types of variables show a downward trend, except for the sluggish development of clean energy, which will cause the EUA price to rise sharply, the EUA price trend will also decline accordingly in the remaining scenarios.

Originality/value
On the one hand, this paper incorporates driving factors of carbon price into the construction of carbon price prediction system, which not only has higher prediction accuracy but also can simulate the long-term price trend. On the other hand, this paper uses scenario simulation to show the size, direction and duration of the impact of economic development, black energy consumption and clean energy development on carbon prices in a more intuitive way.
Stakeholder management: the new role of business diplomacy
Authors: Falcão Pedro , Ramalho Nelson , Nobre Marta 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
Stakeholder relations has been largely based upon a two-way public relations model. Along with this change, business diplomacy emerged as a proposal to renew stakeholder management. It is still uncertain if this proposal adds value to stakeholder management, which this study seeks to clarify.

Design/methodology/approach
Corporate representatives in charge of stakeholder management were invited to participate in an online survey measuring both public relations and business diplomacy activities. With a sample of 104 companies, factorial analyses were conducted on public relations and business diplomacy activities comparing model quality.

Findings
This study finds that public relations and business diplomacy activities share identity but not to the point of being fused and are thus different in nature. The best model showed three overarching functions (communication, influence and intelligence) implying that stakeholder management needs both public relations and business diplomacy.

Research limitations/implications
Findings suggest both public relations and business diplomacy research should be included in advanced stakeholder management studies.

Practical implications
By acknowledging the role that business diplomacy plays in stakeholder management, companies may place influence at the core of the renewed stakeholder management strategy to better deal with the increasingly complex business environment.

Originality/value
This study adds clarity to the role of public relations and business diplomacy in stakeholder management based on actual activities developed in organizations and reveals the underlying dimensions of communication, influence and intelligence.

Pathways through homelessness: the perceptions of homeless children in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa
Authors: Wilshire Jones Bornman Anna , Mitchell Carol Jean 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore children’s pathways through homelessness within the South African context, with particular attention paid to pathways out of homelessness. This study focusses on factors influencing children’s successful transitions out of homelessness.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative exploratory design was used, using interviews with nine children who had exited or were in the process of exiting homelessness. Interviews were conducted at a children’s shelter in Pietermaritzburg or in the children’s home environments. Interviews were analysed thematically.

Findings
An ecological framework was used to frame the factors influencing children’s pathways in, through and out of homelessness in the children’s narratives. These included institutions, relationships and intrapersonal strengths and resources. The study suggested that constructive relationships with shelter staff and parental figures, as well as intrapersonal strengths, were the most prominent factors in children successfully negotiating their way through their homelessness. The importance of a relationship with the paternal family within some African cultures was also a point of leverage.

Research limitations/implications
Implications for policy and practise include the need for systemic change, as well as greater support for shelters and shelter staff. The issue of rivalry in the shelter context and the role of the paternal family in the reintegration process require more research attention. The research is limited to homeless children in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.

Practical implications
This study provided feedback to the shelter regarding their strategies for assisting homeless children off the streets. It further provided evidence for the importance of the work of the shelter, to strengthen advocacy efforts. This may be useful to others in similar circumstances.

Social implications
This study highlights the importance of macrosystemic interventions in the efforts to assist homeless children, while at the same time not ignoring the inter and intra, personal elements to enhancing their well-being.

Originality/value
This paper is singular in its exploration of factors influencing children’s successful transitions out of homelessness within the South African context.
Cross-cultural adaptation of the recovery self-assessment instrument (RSA–R) person in recovery version to Brazilian Portuguese (Pt/Br)
Authors: Ricci Éllen Cristina , Leal Erotildes , La-Rotta Ehidee Isabel Gómez , Onocko-Campos Rosana , O'Connell Maria 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
The Recovery Self-Assessment (RSA–R) in Revised Version is an instrument designed to assess the degree to which mental health programs and services implement recovery-oriented practices. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a cross-cultural adaptation of the RSA–R instrument for use in local mental health services in the city of Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Design/methodology/approach
This method for cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument included a series of iterative steps including preparation, translation, back translation, harmonization, expert evaluation, focus groups, in-depth interviews, expert opinion and pilot study.

Findings
A multi-rater assessment of the equivalence of content between the original RSA–R and the translated version revealed that each of the 32 items achieved at least 88% agreement in terms of equivalency. A multi-step harmonization process revealed additional suggestions for improvements in readability, comprehension and applicability to Brazilian context. An expert in youth and adult education provided additional stylistic recommendations. Combined, this iterative approach to cross-cultural translation resulted in an adapted version of the instrument that was well understood, culturally appropriate and adequate for further verification of psychometric properties.

Originality/value
The recovery process in Brazil and in the USA has culturally determined differences in terms of the way mental disorders are understood, diagnosed and treated. Moreover, there are different notions of what constitutes desirable results of recovery, health care and welfare. At the present time, there are few, if any, available cross-cultural instruments to assess the recovery-orientation of services between Brazil and the USA.
Impact of a tenancy health check
Authors: Leigh-Hunt Nicholas , Fletcher-Brown Ruth , Mould Lynsey 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how loneliness and other mental health problems in older local authority housing tenants can be identified and addressed.

Design/methodology/approach
A tenancy health check form to identify health and well-being issues was developed by housing and public health for use in a rolling programme of housing officer visits to elderly tenants. This form facilitated enquiries on loneliness, social isolation and mental health as part of a supportive conversation. Individuals identified as being lonely were signposted to a range of community activities and social groups, and for some, ongoing support via telephone was provided by the housing officer.

Findings
The tenancy health check helped identify loneliness in this population group and enabled signposting to an increased number of local community activities. In addition to improved individual well-being, social capital has been strengthened through the creation of community networks.

Practical implications
Use of a health check form during housing officer visits provides a low-cost means of identifying health and well-being issues in vulnerable populations and facilitates adoption of making every contact count approaches by social housing providers.

Originality/value
This case study demonstrates the scope to provide holistic support for social housing tenants through better connections between public sector and community organisations.

Published: July 2020

PurposeSince business competition has become more intense throughout the world, most enterprises are seeking to engage in business cooperation with other partners in order to enhance their competitive strengths. However, they do not necessarily develop mature information technologies’ (ITs) capabilities and skills internally but rather outsource them to IT providers. Therefore, the benefits received by firms which adopt the approach of business cooperation with IT providers have become an interesting issue for managers and shareholders.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted an event study methodology for apprising the short-term business value from the stock market. The authors predicted that investors will react as they receive news coverage about the strategy of business cooperation between outsourcing firms and an IT provider, International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation. The authors then collected all news coverage regarding the firms which had announced business cooperation with IBM and observed different types of abnormal returns.FindingsOn analyzing 53 announcements of cooperation with IBM from 2008 to 2016, the authors found that the announcement of business cooperation had a significantly positive influence on companies' market value.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the issue for market reaction to the announcement of business cooperation with IBM.

Published: July 2020

AbstractAnti‐transcription intermediary factor 1γ (anti‐TIF1γ) antibody (Ab) is significantly associated with internal malignancies in adult patients with dermatomyositis (DM). Although pathogenesis of cancer‐associated DM is unknown, TIF1γ overexpression in tumors has been considered to be critical for the development of DM. The objective of this study was to investigate clinical characteristics of patients with anti‐TIF1γ Ab‐positive DM and elucidate risk factors that are potentially associated with internal malignancy. In addition, we compared the expression of TIF1γ in tumor tissues of patients with anti‐TIF1γ Ab‐positive DM, anti‐TIF1γ Ab‐negative DM and without DM in order to investigate the pathogenesis of cancer‐associated DM. We analyzed 77 Japanese patients with DM, and found 19 patients to be positive for anti‐TIF1γ Ab. Patients with anti‐TIF1γ Ab‐positive DM were older and presented heliotrope rash and flagellate erythema more frequently than patients without anti‐TIF1γ Ab (P < 0.05). Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and rapidly progressive ILD, as well as palmar violaceous erythema, were less frequent in patients with anti‐TIF1γ Ab than in patients without. Furthermore, internal malignancy and dysphagia were significantly more frequent in the anti‐TIF1γ Ab‐positive group (P < 0.01). Male sex and dysphagia were significantly associated with internal malignancy in patients with anti‐TIF1γ Ab‐positive DM (P < 0.01 and <0.05, respectively). Using immunohistochemistry, we examined the TIF1γ expression in tumors of 11 patients with cancer‐associated DM (anti‐TIF1γ Ab‐positive, nine; anti‐TIF1γ Ab‐negative, two) and 25 patients without DM. TIF1γ was highly expressed in all tumors, and there was no significant difference in TIF1γ expression between patients with and without DM. Furthermore, TIF1γ expressions in tumors were similar irrespective of the presence of anti‐TIF1γ Ab. These results suggest that anti‐TIF1γ antibody may not be simply induced by overexpression of TIF1γ in tumors in patients with DM, but that other mechanisms may exist.
Extending the climatological concept of ‘Detection and Attribution’ to global change ecology in the Anthropocene

Published: July 2020

Abstract

Research into global change ecology is motivated by the need to understand the role of humans in changing biotic systems. Mechanistic understanding of ecological responses requires the separation of different climatic parameters and processes that often operate on diverse spatiotemporal scales. Yet most environmental studies do not distinguish the effects of internal climate variability from those caused by external, natural (e.g. volcanic, solar, orbital) or anthropogenic (e.g. greenhouse gases, ozone, aerosols, land‐use) forcing factors.

We suggest extending the climatological concept of ‘Detection and Attribution’ (DA) to unravel abiotic drivers of ecological dynamics in the Anthropocene. We therefore apply DA to quantify the relative roles of natural versus industrial temperature change on elevational shifts in the outbreak epicentres of the larch budmoth (LBM; Zeiraphera diniana or griseana Gn.); the classic example of a cyclic forest defoliating insect.

Our case study shows that anthropogenic warming shifts the epicentre of travelling LBM waves upward, which disrupts the intensity of population outbreaks that occurred regularly over the past millennium in the European Alps. Our findings demonstrate the ability of DA to detect ecological responses beyond internal system variability, to attribute them to specific external climate forcing factors and to identify climate‐induced ecological tipping points.

In order to implement the climatological concept of ‘Detection and Attribution’ successfully into modern global change ecology, future studies should combine high‐resolution paleoenvironmental reconstructions and state‐of‐the‐art climate model simulations to inform inference‐based ecosystem models.
