Spanish non-financial corporations and the COVID pandemic: vulnerability, resilience and transformation
Authors: Salas-Fumás Vicente 
Published: February 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to assess the vulnerability and resilience of the Spanish non-financial corporations (NFC) to the shock from the COVID pandemic with consolidated income accounts data, and shows comparative labor productivity and endowment of organizational capital of Spanish firms, as indicators of their capabilities at the outset of the new digital transformation wave proposed by the next generation EU program.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper first describes the recent evolution (quarterly 2020 data) of the Spanish non-financial corporate sector (gross value added, labor cost, capital formation, profits) in the assessment of the vulnerability and resilience of the sector to the shock of the COVID pandemic. Then second, it estimates a probit model to evaluate the EU country effects in the explanation of the different propensity firms in the European Company Survey database to adopt innovative management and organization practices.

Findings
In the Spring of 2020, the Spanish NFC were still recovering from the great recession (low resilience), and the severe contraction in value-added and profits of the corporate sector in the first three quarters of the year evidences its high vulnerability. The proved complementarity between organizational and information related assets implies that the low endowment of organizational capital of Spanish firms, could be a severe limitation for the advancement toward digitalization.

Research limitations/implications
The aggregate corporate sector data used in the analysis of vulnerability and resilience of Spanish firms does not account for the heterogeneous effects of the pandemic across economic sectors (manufacturing and services, for example) and across firms (large versus small ones).

Originality/value
The paper complements the country-level analysis of the impact of the COVID pandemic in the Spanish economy with the analysis of the impact of the pandemic in the performance of the corporate sector. It provides one of the first analysis of the current endowment of organization capital of Spanish firms and highlights its relevance for productivity growth.
Empirical investigation of factors that enhance development of technology in design process improvement in architecture education: analyses of students' views
Authors: Imani Elnaz , Asefi Maziar 
Published: February 2021

PurposeTechnology development quality in architectural design is affected by the quality of the process and factors used to develop it. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors for effective enhancement (EE) of technologies in design process improvement (DPI).Design/methodology/approachMajor databases have been explored to identify a list of factors affecting technology development in DPI because of the main elements of architecture design education. Then, a survey-based empirical study has been done in two high-rank architecture schools (one in a developing country and one in a developed country), during the years 2015–2018. Data have been collected from analyzing the design process, design reviews, design team viewpoints, researchers' observations and organizations' features about the development of production, conceptualization and communication technologies in DPI initiatives. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches have been utilized to provide deep contextual data.FindingsComparative analysis of the groups showed that high levels of EE of technologies lead to high levels of DPI, and these are because of the positive performance of conceptualization, communication and production technologies.Originality/valueComparing two groups, the category of design process and the factors related to the design stages of ask, imagine and improve approved to be the right factors to use technologies in more effective ways. Efficiency in collecting information and doing research, efficiency in developing solutions, efficiency in communicating results, team processes and organization communications have been rated top most effective factors based upon overall categories.
Successful health-promoting leadership – A question of synchronisation
Authors: Skott Pia 
Published: February 2021

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to identify the role of the principal in establishing a whole school approach for health and wellbeing. Two questions are asked: (1) What do successful Swedish principals do when they take on a whole school approach? (2) How do these results relate to previous research on successful school leadership?Design/methodology/approachThis paper focuses on the complexity of organisational processes and considers the role of successful leadership in managing a whole school approach to health promotion. It presents findings from two different but interlinked projects, and draws on document studies and interviews with principals, student health team members and teachers in Sweden.FindingsThis paper argues that successful school leaders are crucial in establishing a whole school approach, because of the work they do to synchronise the health-promoting activities in schools. The study identifies four aspects of coordination that need to be enacted simultaneously when leading health-promoting processes. The fifth aspect identified is that a whole school approach is not limited to the school, but the whole local school context, i.e. a synchronisation between different system levels.Originality/valueAlthough limited in scale, this paper reports key findings that could have practical implications for school leaders. The study suggests that successful school leadership research needs to use a health-promoting lens in order to make leadership practices health-promoting practices. It also proposes extended comparative research from different fields and contexts.
Quality management practices as a driver of employee satisfaction: exploring the mediating role of organizational image
Authors: Babu Faisal , Thomas Sam 
Published: February 2021

Purpose
Total quality management (TQM) has been a universally applienod management strategy to improve organizational performance and thereby to achieve competitiveness. Compared with the scholarly and practical attention paid to identify the consequences of implementing TQM practices, little is known about how those practices enhance organizational image and employee satisfaction. This paper aims to address that research gap and is designed to empirically prove the relationship between TQM practices, organizational image and employee satisfaction.

Design/methodology/approach
A questionnaire-based survey of 285 employees including administrators, managers and heads of departments of 21 National Accreditation Board for Hospital and Healthcare providers-accredited hospitals in India was conducted. The proposed research model was tested using partial least squares based structural equation modelling.

Findings
The results revealed that TQM practices have positive direct and indirect effects on employee satisfaction, confirming the partial mediation role played by organizational image in the relationship between TQM practices and employee satisfaction.

Research limitations/implications
From the findings, leaders can understand that by implementing TQM practices, organizations can enhance image of the organization and bring high level of employee satisfaction.

Originality/value
The study tries to answer questions largely ignored in the TQM literature: the effect of TQM practices on organizational image and employee satisfaction, and the mediating role of organizational image on TQM practices and employee satisfaction.

Published: February 2021

PurposeThis study aims to map the major research constituents and trends for theJournal of Business and Industrial Marketing(JBIM) during its 34-year history (1986–2019). It also identifies JBIM’s thematic structure and the key factors affecting the impact of its articles.Design/methodology/approachThe Scopus database is used to identify the bibliographic data of JBIM. The most prolific authors, institutions and countries in the journal are analyzed through weighted distributions of articles. The thematic structure of the journal is evaluated by means of bibliographic coupling analysis. The study also examines the factors influencing citations of JBIM articles through regression modeling.FindingsJBIM publishes contributions from around the world, though the most prolific contributors are affiliated with the USA, UK and Finland. Thematic analysis divided JBIM articles into five major themes. Citation analysis reveals that article age, special issue appearance, number of author keywords and number of references are prominent factors explaining an article’s impact.Research limitations/implicationsThis study uses data from the Scopus database, and limitations of the database have implications for the findings.Originality/valueThis is the first comprehensive study to identify the thematic structure and the factors affecting citations of JBIM articles.
Technology as infrastructure for change: district leader understandings of 1:1 educational technology initiatives and educational change
Authors: Lamb Alexandra J. , Weiner Jennie Miles 
Published: February 2021

PurposeWhile educational infrastructure is consistently identified as a key lever for educational change, it is often overlooked in research and practice and specifically in relation to technology in schools. By using educational infrastructure as a lens to examine a group of districts' implementation of 1:1 programs, this work provides opportunities for understanding and approaching technology programs in new, and potentially more effective, ways.Design/methodology/approachUsing the concept of educational infrastructure (Mehta and Fine, 2015; Peurach and Neumerski, 2015), this multiple-case study explores the ways superintendents and district technology leaders understand and enact 1:1 technology initiatives to support educational change.FindingsThe authors find these leaders see 1:1 technology as both embedded in, and engaged in changing, the physical, cultural, instructional and leadership infrastructures. This suggests that 1:1 technology can act as an infrastructure itself and has the potential to support changes to teaching and learning across the system.Originality/valueThis study offers a new perspective to understand and enact the opportunities of 1:1 technology. Specifically, it helps to reframe technology programs away from discrete classroom or school-based interventions to consider and attend to the system-level resources they require and thus increase benefits they can produce. While always useful, such considerations are particularly important in the current context and the proliferation of online learning for so many.
School leaders' adoption and implementation of artificial intelligence
Authors: Tyson Matthew Mark , Sauers Nicholas J. 
Published: February 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine school leaders' experiences with adoption and implementation of artificial intelligence systems in their schools. It examined the factors that led educational administrators to adopt one artificial intelligence program (ALEKS) and their perceptions around the implementation process.Design/methodology/approachThis was a qualitative case study that included structured interviews with seven individuals who have adopted artificial intelligence programs in their schools. Participants were identified through purposive and snowball sampling. Interview transcripts were analyzed and put through a two-step coding process involving in vivo coding as well as pattern coding.FindingsTwo major themes emerged from this study pertaining to the state of the diffusion of artificial intelligence through the adoption and implementation process. The findings indicated that school leaders were actively engaged in conversations related to AI adoption and implementation. They also created structures (organizational) to ensure the successful adoption and implementation of artificial intelligence.Originality/valueThis is an original study that examined the experiences of school leaders who have adopted and implemented artificial intelligence in their schools. The body of literature related to artificial intelligence and school leadership is extremely limited.
Did Brexit change asset co-movements?
Authors: Saha Shrabani , Sen Anindya , Smith-Han Christine , Wesselbaum Dennis 
Published: February 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the impact of the Brexit referendum on the risk structure of financial asset prices. Co-movements are analysed using daily price returns of major stock and bond indices as well as commodities and exchange rates from June 2014 to June 2018. The authors used a multivariate GARCH model to study the dynamics of the conditional correlation matrix of asset returns. It was found that the conditional variances and correlations of assets spike on and after the Brexit referendum and then quickly revert to normal levels, suggesting that the effect of the referendum was transient rather than structural. The findings are of interest to investors as co-movements of financial assets can significantly impact financial portfolios and hedging strategies.

Multi-response optimization while machining of stainless steel 316L using intelligent approach of grey theory and grey-TLBO
Authors: Sharma Rakesh Chandmal , Dabra Vishal , Singh Gurpreet , Kumar Rajender , Singh Ravi Pratap , Sharma Sameer 
Published: February 2021

Purpose
Stainless steel is widely used in different manufacturing sectors. The purpose of this study is to optimize the process parameters of machining while processing SS316L alloy. The optimization of machining characteristics in the case of SS316L alloy greatly improves the quality and productivity economically.

Design/methodology/approach
The machining variables in current research are depth of cut, spindle speed and feed rate. The optimization of response characteristics was carried out using the intelligent approach of grey, regression and teaching learning-based optimization (TLBO) and Taguchi-Grey approach. Planning of experiments was made using Taguchi’s based L27 orthogonal array. With the implementation of grey, the response characteristics were normalized and converted into a single response. The regression analysis was used for empirical modeling of the single response induced from the grey application. TLBO is further used to investigate the combinations of machining variables and compared with grey theory.

Findings
The grey-TLBO based multi-criteria decision-making approach suggests that the optimized setting for material removal rate, mean roughness depth (Rz) and cutting force (Fz) is spindle speed (N): 720 rpm; feed rate (F): 0.3 mm/rev; depth of cut (DoC): 1.7 mm. The grey theory suggests an optimized setting as N: 720 rpm; F: 0.2 mm/rev and DoC: 1.7 mm.

Originality/value
The parametric optimization during the turning of SS316L using grey-TLBO based intelligent approach is not performed till now. Thus, this intelligent approach will give a path to the researchers working in this direction. However, the grey theory performs better as compared to the grey-TLBO approach.
Identification of the genes encoding the catalytic steps corresponding to LRA4 (l‐2‐keto‐3‐deoxyrhamnonate aldolase) and l‐lactaldehyde dehydrogenase in Aspergillus nidulans: evidence for involvement of the loci AN9425/lraD and AN0544/aldA in the l‐rhamnose catabolic pathway
Authors: MacCabe Andrew , Sanmartín Gemma , Orejas Margarita 
Published: February 2021

Summaryl‐rhamnose is found in nature mainly as a component of structural plant polysaccharides and can be used as a carbon source by certain microorganisms. Catabolism of this sugar in bacteria, archaea and fungi occurs by two routes involving either phosphorylated or non‐phosphorylated intermediates. Unlike the corresponding pathway in yeasts, the metabolic details of the non‐phosphorylated pathway in filamentous fungi are not fully defined. The first three genes (lraA, lraB and lraC) of the non‐phosphorylated pathway in Aspergillus nidulans have recently been studied revealing dependence on lraA function for growth on l‐rhamnose and α‐l‐rhamnosidase production. In the present work, two genes encoding the subsequent steps catalysed by l‐2‐keto‐3‐deoxyrhamnonate (l‐KDR) aldolase (AN9425) and l‐lactaldehyde dehydrogenase (AN0554) are identified. Loss‐of‐function mutations cause adverse growth effects on l‐rhamnose. Akin to genes lraA‐C and those encoding rhamnosidases (rhaA, rhaE), their expression is induced on l‐rhamnose via the transcriptional activator RhaR. Interestingly, the aldolase belongs to the ftablamily of bacterial l‐KDR aldolases (PF03328/COG3836) and not that of yeasts (PF00701/COG0329). In addition, AN0554 corresponds to the previously characterized aldA gene (encodes aldehyde dehydrogenase involved in ethanol utilization) thus revealing a previously unknown role for this gene in the catabolism of l‐rhamnose.
It is changed beyond all recognition: exploring the evolving habitus of assistants in special schools
Authors: O’Connor Una , Hasson Felicity , McKeever Christine , Finlay Jayne 
Published: February 2021

AbstractThe assistant workforce is a constituent presence in all schools. Progressive reconfiguration of the role has resulted in a hybrid position, with assistants customarily navigating power relationships in the hierarchy of the school. This paper employs Bourdieu’s theory of social fields, in particular, his system of relations, as a means to consider the intersection of habitus and capital amongst assistants in special schools in Northern Ireland. Using this analytic approach, focus group interviews with Classroom Assistants and Health Assistants explored their current deployment, their interaction with each other and with teachers. Data was collected from 47 participants across 7 special schools, with interviews transcribed and thematically analysed. Findings revealed assistants as a workforce in transition, whose conventional habitus has been steadily disrupted by a supply and demand culture often at variance with the origins of the post. Whilst such divergence has the potential to create a site of struggle, the burgeoning social and cultural capital held by assistants has, instead, re‐configured their perceived position within the special school environment, creating more porous professional boundaries and an increasingly fluid professional identity. These explanatory insights offer a fresh perspective for further research into this pivotal yet under‐researched group in Northern Ireland.
Delayed sarcoidosis onset mimicking mediastinal lymphoma recurrence after complete remission of diffuse large B cell lymphoma: A case report
Authors: Ahn June Hong , Jang Min Hye 
Published: February 2021

AbstractSarcoidosis‐lymphoma syndrome describes a pathological state wherein both sarcoidosis and lymphoma are present. Sarcoidosis and lymphoma may occur concurrently, or sarcoidosis may precede lymphoma. There are few reports which have previously described the temporal progression from lymphoma to sarcoidosis. Here, we present a patient with stage II diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma in the right breast. The patient achieved complete remission after chemotherapy. Five years after remission, the patient visited our clinic with newly developed enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes; lymphoma recurrence was suspected. However, mediastinal lymph node biopsy showed numerous noncaseating granulomas with no evidence of malignancy in the mediastinal lymph nodes. Consequently, a diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made. This case report highlights the need for pathological confirmation following biopsy when recurrence of lymphoma is suspected.
Audit Committee Financial Expertise, Litigation Risk, and Auditor‐Provided Tax Services*
Authors: Bédard Jean , Paquette Suzanne M. 
Published: February 2021

AbstractThe Sarbanes‐Oxley Act (SOX) greatly expanded audit committees' oversight responsibilities by requiring that they preapprove all non‐prohibited non‐audit services (NAS). Using data from 2003 to 2011, we find that tax NAS are significantly lower when accounting financial experts (ACT‐FEs) serve on the audit committee, suggesting that ACT‐FEs consider auditor independence risk, perceived and/or real, more than other members, including supervisory experts, to the point of not accepting any tax NAS, not even compliance. However, in firms with higher ex ante litigation risk, ACT‐FEs approve relatively more tax NAS than other members, suggesting that they accept the costs of a perceived lack of auditor independence from tax NAS in return for the potential benefits of increased financial reporting quality arising from tax NAS. Our analysis by subperiod (2003–2006 vs. 2007–2011) shows that this result is significant only in the second period. ACT‐FEs' differential evaluation of the trade‐off between the benefits and costs of joint audit and tax NAS provision between the two periods suggests the need for additional research in later post‐SOX years.
