Authors: Coşanay Hakan , Öztop Hakan F. , Gür Muhammed , Bakır Eda 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to make a numerical analysis of a wall jet with a moving wall attached with a heated body. The hot body is cooled via impinging wall jet. Thus, a jet cooling problem is modeled. The Reynolds number is taken in three different values between 5 × 103 ≤ Re ≤ 15 × 103. The h/H ratio for each value of the Re number was taken as 0.02, 0.04 and 0.0, respectively.

Design/methodology/approach
Two-dimensional impinged wall jet problem onto a moving body on a conveyor is numerically studied. The heated body is inserted onto an adiabatic moving wall, and it moves in +x direction with the wall. Governing equations for turbulent flow are solved by using the finite element method via analysis and system Fluent R2020. A dynamic mesh was produced to simulate the moving hot body.

Findings
The obtained results showed that the heat transfer (HT) is decreased with distance between the jet outlet and the jet inlet. The best HT occurred for the parameters of h/H = 0.02 and Re = 15 × 103. Also, HT can be controlled by changing the h/H ratio as a passive method.

Originality/value
Originality of this work is to make an analysis of turbulent flow and heat transfer for wall jet impinging onto a moving heated body.

Authors: Lakkshmanan Ajanthaa , Ananth C. Anbu , S. Tiroumalmouroughane S. Tiroumalmouroughane 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe advancements of deep learning (DL) models demonstrate significant performance on accurate pancreatic tumor segmentation and classification.Design/methodology/approachThe presented model involves different stages of operations, namely preprocessing, image segmentation, feature extraction and image classification. Primarily, bilateral filtering (BF) technique is applied for image preprocessing to eradicate the noise present in the CT pancreatic image. Besides, noninteractive GrabCut (NIGC) algorithm is applied for the image segmentation process. Subsequently, residual network 152 (ResNet152) model is utilized as a feature extractor to originate a valuable set of feature vectors. At last, the red deer optimization algorithm (RDA) tuned backpropagation neural network (BPNN), called RDA-BPNN model, is employed as a classification model to determine the existence of pancreatic tumor.FindingsThe experimental results are validated in terms of different performance measures and a detailed comparative results analysis ensured the betterment of the RDA-BPNN model with the sensitivity of 98.54%, specificity of 98.46%, accuracy of 98.51% and F-score of 98.23%.Originality/valueThe study also identifies several novel automated deep learning based approaches used by researchers to assess the performance of the RDA-BPNN model on benchmark dataset and analyze the results in terms of several measures.
Regulatory focus and construal level theory on low-income consumer indebtedness: Evidence from an emerging market
Authors: Campos Patrícia de Oliveira , Costa Marconi Freitas da 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThis study aims to further analyse the decision-making process of low-income consumer from an emerging market by verifying the influence of regulatory focus and construal level theory on indebtedness.Design/methodology/approachAn experimental study was carried out with a design 2 (regulatory focus: promotion vs prevention) × 2 (psychological distance: high vs low) between subjects, with 140 low-income consumers.FindingsOur study points out that the propensity towards indebtedness of low-income consumer is higher in a distal psychological distance. We found that promotion and prevention groups have the same propensity to indebtedness. Moreover, we highlight that low-income consumers are prone to propensity to indebtedness due to taking decisions focused on the present with an abstract mindset.Social implicationsFinancial awareness advertisements should focus on providing more concrete strategies in order to reduce decision-making complexity and provide ways to reduce competing situations that could deplete self-regulation resources. Also, public policy should organize educational programs to increase the low-income consumer's ability to deal with personal finances and reduce this task complexity. Finally, educational financial programs should also incorporate psychology professionals to teach mindfulness techniques applied to financial planning.Originality/valueThis study is the first to consider regulatory focus and construal level to explain low-income indebtedness. This paper provides a deeper analysis of the low-income consumers' decision process. Also, it supports and guides future academic and decision-making efforts.
How do foreign customers' perceptions of product-harm crises affect their transfer of capability- and character-based stigma?
Authors: Xue Rui , Qian Gongming , Qian Zhengming , Li Lee 
Published: December 2021

PurposeCustomers often trace a product-harm crisis to the deviant firm's capability- or character-relevant issues. This study examines how capability- and character-based stigma associated with product-harm crises influence foreign customers' product preferences (i.e. brand affect and purchase intention) for other firms from the same country of origin.Design/methodology/approachQualitative survey data are used to test hypotheses with a structural equation model.FindingsThe authors find that negative capability judgment significantly affects foreign customers' product preferences for other firms from the same country of origin, whereas negative character judgment does not. However, customers' national animosity and product knowledge moderate the stigma spillover effects. Specifically, national animosity and product knowledge weaken the spillover effects of capability-based stigma but strengthen those of character-based stigma.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research could examine strategies for uninvolved firms to avoid the stigma-by-association effect. Moreover, due to the lack of resources to collect data, this study does not investigate how customers' generalized favorability and familiarity with crisis-stricken firms and uninvolved firms moderate the stigma-by-association effect.Originality/valueThe findings of this study advance our knowledge on product-harm crises and the stigma-by-association effect.

Published: December 2021

PurposeThe overarching aim of this article is to consider to what extent the perceptions of librarians in Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, Poland and Sweden reflect a unified view of their professional role and the role of their institutions in supporting the formation of the public sphere and to what extent the variations reflect national contexts.Design/methodology/approachThe multi-country comparison is based on online questionnaires. The central research questions are how do librarians legitimize the use of public resources to uphold a public library service? How do librarians perceive the role of public libraries as public spaces? How do librarians perceive their professional role and the competencies needed for it? Consideration is given to how the digital and social turns are reflected in the responses.FindingsThe results show evidence of a unified professional culture with clear influences from national contexts. A key finding is that librarians see giving access as central for both legitimizing library services and for the library's role as a public sphere institution. Strong support is shown for the social turn in supporting the formation of the public sphere while the digital turn appears to be a future challenge; one of seemingly increased importance due to the pandemic.Research limitations/implicationsThis study shows that libraries across the seven countries have expanded beyond simply providing public access to their book-based collections and now serve as social, learning and creative spaces: both in the physical library and digitally. Qualitative research is needed concerning librarians' notions of public libraries and librarianship, which will provide a more in-depth understanding of the changing professional responsibilities and how public libraries recruit the associated competencies.Originality/valueThe article provides a much needed insight into how librarians perceive the role of public libraries in supporting the formation of the public sphere and democratic processes, as well as their own role.

Authors: Abbas Jawad , Kumari Kalpina , Al-Rahmi Waleed Mugahed 
Published: December 2021

PurposeBased on the principles of the human capital theory, this study investigates the role of the quality management system (QMS) in higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing successful employability attributes among graduates. Considering industry as a prominent stakeholder in academia, the authors took industry–academia collaboration as the mediating variable.Design/methodology/approachUsing the European Foundation for Quality Management model, the author analyzed how QMS in public HEIs located in London, the United Kingdom (UK), impacts business management, computer science and engineering students' employability. Following the nonprobability convenience sampling technique, this study included data from 324 local and international students.FindingsThe structural analysis identified QMS as a significant factor in enhancing students' employability, and industry–academia collaboration is found to act as a partial mediator in this relationship.Originality/valueThe management of HEIs in developing countries can take valuable guidelines from this study and integrate QMS in their institutions in developing their students' employability, as it is being done by HEIs in the UK.
Linking the past and the present: service users’ perspectives of how adverse experiences relate to their admission to forensic mental health services
Authors: Cartwright Jessica , Lawrence Daniel , Hartwright Christopher 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThis study aimed to explore how forensic mental health service users make sense of their past adverse experiences. Secondly, it aimed to explore whether service users considered their adverse experiences to be related to their current stay in a forensic mental health setting.Design/methodology/approachInterpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyse interviews with eight service users in low and medium secure care. Six of the participants were male and two were female.FindingsFour super-ordinate themes emerged from the data: “Living amongst adversity”; “Managing adverse experiences”; “Making sense of going into secure care”; and “Coping with the past in the present”. All participants referred to multiple adverse experiences throughout their lives and used harmful coping strategies to manage these. Individual differences in how they related their past experiences to their detention in secure care were evident.Practical implicationsAuthor guidelines state that this section is optional. Implications for clinical practice are discussed at length in the discussion section.Originality/valueThis study offers an insight into the way in which forensic mental health service users make sense of their past traumas in relation to their current admission to secure services. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no research has previously addressed this from the perspective of service users.

Should knowledge management in organizations be rebranded?
Authors: Nakash Maayan , Bouhnik Dan 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This study aims to examine the relevance of the term “knowledge management” (KM) in the organizational context, and deliberates whether there is a need for rebranding of this field. It also enriches the understanding regarding the appropriateness of the term “KM,” which was chosen to represent the discipline.

Design/methodology/approach
This study adopted a qualitative research methodology, and a case study approach was followed by conducting 19 semi-structured in-depth interviews with international KM experts working in a global consulting firm. The data were analyzed using a thematic analysis method based on the grounded theory approach.

Findings
The findings provide empirical evidence that attempts are being made to move away from the label “KM” in certain knowledge-intensive organizations. This study sheds light on the challenges associated with this term, which leads some to believe that the name of the discipline needs to change.

Originality/value
The present pioneering research contributes to empirical knowledge through investigation of an unexplored scientific field. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, for the first time, its uniqueness can be established by the fact that the opinions of KM professionals are being heard regarding the “KM” label, as well as the need for a rebranding of this discipline in the organizational context. From a practical and strategic perspective, this study suggests that the research community and practitioners pay attention to attempts to shift away from the existing title identified in organizational practice.
A plea for responsible and inclusive knowledge management at the world level
Authors: Durst Susanne 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This essay aims to draw attention to the idea of a new research approach to knowledge management (KM) labelled responsible KM (rKM) as a possible answer to not only address the consequences of the pandemic but also other present and upcoming societal challenges.

Design/methodology/approach
This essay has been prepared by a KM researcher who shares their own personal views and opinion regarding past and current societal developments and based on that offers a potentially new KM direction.

Findings
Switching the focus to rKM may help address current and upcoming social challenges that can only be addressed jointly by the global community and which would also involve a new consideration of the “knowledge” resource.

Originality/value
The essay proposes a new alternative approach to KM called rKM that is based on ideas that to the author’s knowledge have not been discussed in this way in the contemporary literature on KM.
The effects of medium and sequence on personality trait assessments in face‐to‐face and videoconference selection interviews: Implications for HR analytics
Authors: Michelotti Marco , McColl Rod , Puncheva‐Michelotti Petya , Clarke Ronald , McNamara Tom 
Published: December 2021

AbstractAdoption of new technology to support selection interviews may distort the validity of source data in HR analytics, with implications for Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms used to assess candidates' personality traits. Using a field experiment with real selection interviews, we compare two common selection interview modes—Face‐to‐Face and videoconference, to evaluate their impact on personality trait assessments. Our findings indicate that candidates scored more highly on agreeableness, openness, extroversion, and conscientiousness, but lower on neuroticism, during a Face‐to‐Face interview compared with videoconference. There was also greater variation in personality ratings when interview sequence commenced with videoconference followed by Face‐to‐Face, compared with the reverse order. Our results suggest that Face‐to‐Face followed by videoconference provide a less distorted assessment of personality traits than videoconference followed by Face‐to‐Face. This study also contributes to practical and academic debates centred on human and AI selection practices and the use of data analytics in HR processes.
Living Amid the Royal Ruins: Women and Property in Eighteenth‐Century Whitehall
Authors: Learmouth Juliet 
Published: December 2021

AbstractFollowing a devastating fire in 1698, the site of Whitehall Palace was gradually transformed into an elite residential neighbourhood as courtiers, politicians and wealthy widows competed to acquire building leases on plots of land amid the royal ruins. Despite the insecurity inherent in the Crown lease system, these aristocrats often invested considerable sums in the construction and maintenance of town houses on the site. Scholars have tended to prioritise the experiences of men in relation to this area, but this article shows that a significant proportion of Whitehall's residents were wealthy women. By foregrounding the experiences of these women, it offers a new perspective on both the advantages and challenges associated with inhabiting this richly historic site.
‘Bequeathed unto My Daughter […] Slaves’: Women, Slavery and Property in the Eighteenth‐Century Atlantic
Authors: Barnett‐Woods Victoria 
Published: December 2021

AbstractWith supporting documentation provided by wills and probate records, this article examines three lives of mixed‐heritage women who have inherited land and enslaved peoples in the Caribbean. Two of the women, Ann Wright Maitland and Judith Philip, were of considerable wealth and had moved across the Atlantic to England. Less well known is Dorothy Bennett, who was not only granted slaves but importantly her freedom at the time of her father's death. Discussing the lives of Ann Wright, Judith Philip and Dorothy Bennett is demonstrative of the intersectionality of women, property and enslavement in the colonial Caribbean. This article hopes to challenge some of the assumptions made about female slave‐ownership in the Atlantic but also points to the circumstances that faced mixed‐heritage women when they became enslavers.
‘An Old Maid in a House Is the Devil’: Single Women and Landed Estate Management in Eighteenth‐Century England
Authors: Shields Sarah 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThis article examines the impact of singleness on elite women's experiences of landed estate management in eighteenth‐century England. Through extensive archival research, the article argues that singleness directly impacted women's relationships with landed estates and their ability to manage and shape their physical landscape. The article reveals that single women were overseeing the management of vast family estates: work that too often went unrewarded in their own lifetime and unrecognised in subsequent estate histories, due in large part to their unmarried status. It offers a fresh understanding of landed estates and will be of interest to historians and historical geographers alike.
