In search for shared content and design in supervision training: a syllabus analysis in Sweden
Authors: Davidsson Eva , Stigmar Martin 
Published: January 2021

PurposePrevious research has pointed to a lack of studies concerning supervision training courses. Consequently, the literature has little to suggest, and the research field is underexplored, so questions around the content and design of supervision training courses remain unanswered and need to be addressed systematically. The main aim of the present study is to explore and map whether shared content and design exist in supervisor training courses across different vocations.Design/methodology/approachA syllabus analysis is used in order to investigate characteristic features in supervisor training courses related to the professions of dentist, doctor, psychologist, police officer and teacher.FindingsThe results point to the existence of shared content in the different courses, such as an emphasis on learning and supervision theories, feedback, ethics, assessment and communication. Furthermore, the results conclude similarities in design of the courses, such as a problem-based approach, seminars, lectures and homework. Thus, there are common theoretical approaches to important supervisory competences.Practical implicationsOur results intend to offer possibilities to learn from different professions when improving supervisor training courses but may also constitute a starting point for developing a shared model of interprofessional supervisor competences. Furthermore, the results may support possible cooperation in interprofessional courses. This could include arranging interprofessional courses, where one part is shared for participants from the included professions and another part is profession-specific.Originality/valueWe seek to contribute to the research field of supervision at workplaces with knowledge and ideas about how to learn from different professions when developing and improving supervisor training courses.
Applying vocational education and training pedagogy in business English courses for China's English major undergraduates
Authors: Xie Qing 
Published: January 2021

PurposeIn light of university business English pedagogical innovation, this study reports an empirical study with 66 English major participants.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses online survey and participant observation to investigate their practice-oriented motivation and needs, the perceptions of using vocational education and training pedagogy in business English teaching and the learning outcomes in a Chinese university context.FindingsThe study found participants with motivations to learn business and trade knowledge, develop practice-oriented abilities and the preferences of learning flexibly and autonomously. For the perceptions of using vocational education and training pedagogy, simulations of meetings and negotiations were recommended and the job-based competency development model was useful. Workplace simulation was also particularly suggested to bridge the gap between classroom and workplace. For learning outcomes, writing practices and workplace simulation were considered particularly useful. The learning gains were found in international trade correspondence writing. While the intention of continuing learning business English correspondence writing was identified, more opportunities should be created for more practice-oriented activities, such as internship or corporate visit.Originality/valueInformed by vocational education and training theory, the study has important pedagogical, theoretical and policy implications for business English teaching in both China and worldwide contexts.

Authors: Looi Kim Hoe , Maritz Alex 
Published: January 2021

PurposeThis study aims to examine the status of entrepreneurship education (EE) in Malaysia and entrepreneurship education programmes (EEPs) offered by Malaysian public and private higher education institutions (HEIs), against the backdrop of macro-level context of Malaysian government institutions related to entrepreneurship.Design/methodology/approachThis study replicates and extends the research by Maritz et al. (2015, 2019). The study expands a nascent archetype regarding an iterative and systematic open-ended emergent enquiry, together with data collection from Malaysian HEIs.FindingsThe findings suggest significant emergence of EE (programmes and research) in Malaysia, despite EEPs being sparsely distributed across HEIs in the bottom half of Table 1. The top ten HEIs (12% of all HEIs in Table 1) accounted for 35% of all EEPs. This study highlights the significant influence of Malaysian government institutions related to entrepreneurship on EE and EEPs.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings are subject to the availability and accuracy of information and documents available on official websites of HEIs. This limitation has been mitigated with telephone and email inquiries and other sources of information.Practical implicationsThe findings provide critical grounding and inferences on the status of EE and EEPs in Malaysia for researchers, practitioners, HEIs, governments and other stakeholders.Originality/valueThis study is first of its kind on emergent enquiry into the status of EE in Malaysia and EEPs offered by 19 public HEIs and 67 private HEIs in Malaysia. Moreover, this study links macro-level context of the Malaysian government institutions related to entrepreneurship with micro-level context of EE and EEPs.
A compatible model of family medicine residency training in Iran
Authors: Khatami Farnaz , Shariati Mohammad , Motezarre Asiyeh 
Published: January 2021

PurposeOne of the major challenges in practicing family medicine residents (FMRs) is the choice of an appropriate pattern in training health centers (THCs) to provide high-quality health services to patients. This study aimed to design an efficient residency training model in Iranian healthcare centers.Design/methodology/approachA four-phase qualitative study with the nominal group technique was carried out in 2018–2019. The required standards of THCs and superior educational practices were initially extracted from the review literature. After collecting and presenting the key findings to the experts' panel, the required training standards and the optimal strategic model to educate FMRs in THCs were prioritized by a nine-point rating system for the well-structured terms of indigenous resources.FindingsTwenty-two educational standards for FMRs in THCs were finalized after reviewing the literature and taking an opinion poll of experts. The highest assessment scores belonged to sufficient numbers of referrals for common health issues and the existence of satisfactory educational and recreational facilities in THCs. The problem-based (PBL), task-based (TBL) and context-based (CBL) learning models were better strategies than guided-discovery learning (GDL) and small group teaching (SGT) ones to train FMRs in THCs. Also, PBL and SGT models were rated as the best and worst advanced medical education methods to empower FMRs.Originality/valueDue to different resources available in THCs and training centers, different factors and infrastructures should be considered to meet the required standards in building the integrative training model for FMRs in THCs.
Numerical analysis of flow and forced convection heat transfer of non-Newtonian fluid in a pipe based on fractional constitutive model
Authors: Chang Ailian , Sun HongGuang , Vafai K. , Kosari Erfan 
Published: January 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to use a fractional constitutive model with a nonlocal velocity gradient for replacing the nonlinear constitutive model to characterize its complex rheological behavior, where non-linear characteristics exist, for example, the inherent viscous behavior of the crude oil. The feasibility and flexibility of the fractional model are tested via a case study of non-Newtonian fluid. The finite element method is non-Newtonian used to numerically solve both momentum equation and energy equation to describe the fluid flow and convection heat transfer process.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper provides a comprehensive theoretical and numerical study of flow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian fluids in a pipe based on the fractional constitutive model. Contrary to fractional order a, the rheological property of non-Newtonian fluid changes from shear-thinning to shear-thickening with the increase of power-law index n, therefore the flow and heat transfer are hindered to some extent.

Findings
This paper discusses two dimensionless parameters on flow regime and thermal patterns, including Reynolds number (Re) and Nusselt number (Nu) in evaluating the flow rate and heat transfer rate. Analysis results show that the viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid decreases with the rheological index (order α) increasing. While large fractional (order α) corresponds to the enhancement of heat transfer capacity.

Research limitations/implications
First, it is observed that the increase of the Re results in an increase of the local Nusselt number (Nul). It means the heat transfer enhancement ratio increases with Re. Meanwhile, the increasement of the Nul indicating the enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient, produces a higher speed flow of crude oil.

Originality/value
This study presents a new numerical investigation on characteristics of steady-state pipe flow and forced convection heat transfer by using a fractional constitutive model. The influences of various non-dimensional characteristic parameters of fluid on the velocity and temperature fields are analyzed in detail.

Authors: Lee Kai-Sean , Tao Chen-Wei (Willie) 
Published: January 2021

PurposeInformed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s systems view of creativity and Chad Borkenhagen’s conceptualization of open source cooking, this study explored how a group of extraordinary pastry chef used Instagram to openly express creativity, disseminate knowledge and reveal culinary secrets. The subsequent impacts of such actions were also assessed.Design/methodology/approachA qualitatively driven mixed-method approach was conducted using a nested mixed-method design. A total of 2,456 Instagram posts were visually analyzed alongside a series of interviews with elite pastry chefs over a two-year period.FindingsAnalysis distilled three themes that delineated how elite pastry chefs express creativity and share knowledge mindfully, ethically and altruistically on Instagram. The findings also converged to form a new theoretical model, “systems view of culinary creative sharing,” which accounts for the multifaceted considerations of culinary knowledge sharing on social media.Research limitations/implicationsFindings converged to form a systems view of culinary knowledge sharing. This is peculiarly useful for scholars who are interested in developing a greater understanding about “where and how” creative ideas and knowledge originate, disseminate and receive corroborations in the contemporary digital era.Originality/valueThis study highlighted that a new praxis of open sharing looms large in the culinary profession. This praxis symbolizes a movement away from the traditional mindset of safeguarding culinary secrets and toward a more transparent and open philosophy toward knowledge sharing in the culinary community.

Health literacy in the domain of healthcare among older migrants in Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia). Findings from a cross-sectional survey
Authors: Berens Eva-Maria , Ganahl Kristin , Vogt Dominique , Schaeffer Doris 
Published: January 2021

Purpose
Health literacy (HL) is considered an important prerequisite for informed, self-determined health decisions. HL research among older migrants is scarce, but especially important, as older people face great challenges regarding management of chronic illnesses and, therefore, are in need of adequate healthcare. Therefore, this paper aims to report HL in the domain of healthcare (HL-HC) among older migrants in Germany stratified by different countries of origin.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected by a quota sample in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Computer-assisted personal face-to-face interviews were conducted in German, Russian and Turkish. For this analysis, a subsample of 192 first-generation migrants aged 65–80 years from Turkey, Poland, Greece or Italy was drawn from the main sample (n = 1,000). HL-HC was assessed using a sub-index of health literacy survey European questionnaire 47. Data analyses comprised descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate analyses.

Findings
Overall, 68.6% of the older migrants have limited HL-HC, and mean HL-HC scores vary significantly among different countries of origin. There is great variation in reported difficulties for the single HL-HC tasks by migrant groups. In multiple regressions, country of origin, not German as main language, low functional HL and low social status are significantly associated with lower HL-HC.

Practical implications
Interventions should be aimed at smaller target groups and should consider language issues and possible differences related to countries of origin into account. Both individual skills and system-related aspects need to be addressed.

Originality/value
This paper presents first data on HL-HC among older migrants in Germany and its determinants, stratified by different countries of origin.
State space classification of Markov password – an alphanumeric password authentication scheme for secure communication in cloud computing
Authors: S. Vaithyasubramanian S. Vaithyasubramanian , Sundararajan R. 
Published: January 2021

Purpose
Purpose of this study is to classify the states of Markov Chain for the implementation of Markov Password for effective security. Password confirmation is more often required in all authentication process, as the usage of computing facilities and electronic devices have developed hugely to access networks. Over the years with the increase in numerous Web developments and internet applications, each platform needs ID and password validation for individual users.

Design/methodology/approach
In the technological development of cloud computing, in recent times, it is facing security issues. Data theft, data security, denial of service, patch management, encryption management, key management, storage security and authentication are some of the issues and challenges in cloud computing. Validation in user login authentications is generally processed and executed by password. To authenticate universally, alphanumeric passwords are used. One of the promising proposed methodologies in this type of password authentication is Markov password. Markov passwords – a rule-based password formation are created or generated by using Markov chain. Representation of Markov password formation can be done by state space diagram or transition probability matrix. State space classification of Markov chain is one of the basic and significant properties. The objective of this paper is to classify the states of Markov chain to support the practice of this type of password in the direction of effective authentication for secure communication in cloud computing. Conversion of some sample obvious password into Markov password and comparative analysis on their strength is also presented in this paper. Analysis on strength of obvious password of length eight has shown range of 7%–9% although the converted Markov password has shown more than 82%. As an effective methodology, this password authentication can be implemented in cloud portal and password login validation process.

Findings
The objective of this paper is to classify the states of Markov chain to support the practice of this type of password in the direction of effective authentication for secure communication in cloud computing. Conversion of some sample obvious password into Markov password and comparative analysis on their strength is also presented in this paper.

Originality/value
Validation in user login authentications is generally processed and executed by password. To authenticate universally, alphanumeric passwords are used. One of the promising proposed methodologies in this type of password authentication is Markov password.
Smartphone use during shopping and store loyalty: the role of social influence
Authors: Collin-Lachaud Isabelle , Diallo Mbaye Fall 
Published: January 2021

PurposeThis research seeks to investigate how in-store mobile use affects store loyalty directly or indirectly via the mediation of store value and whether social influence moderates such relationships.Design/methodology/approachBased on a sample of 862 actual customers from a market research company panel, we used structural equation modelling to test a series of research hypotheses.FindingsThe results show a positive but weak effect of in-store smartphone use on loyalty. This effect is significantly mediated by the store’s hedonic and symbolic value dimensions, but not by its utilitarian value. This research also uncovers significant moderation effects of social influence on the relationships investigated. The effect of in-store smartphone use on store loyalty is stronger when social influence is lower. However, the effects of hedonic and symbolic store value are stronger when social influence is higher.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is carried out in one country (France). It focuses on social influence through in-store mobile phone use; it would also be useful to consider physical social influence.Practical implicationsRetailers should position their stores on specific value dimensions and use social influence appropriately to improve loyalty. For instance, utilitarian value should be offered to customers with low social influence. To prevent negative social influence, retailers could develop “controlled” social influence through their own private mobile app to favour interaction.Originality/valueThis research underlines the critical role of store value and social influence on the relationships between smartphone use and store loyalty. It shows that the effects of value dimensions (utilitarian, hedonic and symbolic) on loyalty differ depending on social influence level.
Critical creatures: children as pioneers of posthuman pedagogies
Authors: Dinker Karin Gunnarsson 
Published: January 2021

PurposeThis paper addresses two main questions: What is taught about animal ethics in primary school and how. Are these messages challenged by the students and, in that case, how and why? This is discussed in the light of Critical Animal Pedagogies.Design/methodology/approachThe findings drawn upon in this paper are from a critical human-animal ethnographic study carried out in three Swedish primary schools between 2012 and 2017 using a case study approach of interviews, observation and intervention.FindingsThis paper suggests that children's subtle ways of resisting and negotiating their own space in the face of adultism, which is the power adults exercise over children, are an ongoing struggle which can both destabilize anthropocentrism and open up space for new pedagogical practice.Originality/valueThis paper explores the implications of and possibilities for teaching and learning given the positions of human children and non-human animals intersect, foremost exploring the agency of children in the school environment.
