LMP computation at DG buses in radial distribution system
Authors: Veeramsetty Venkataramana , Chintham Venkaiah , D.M. Vinod Kumar 
Published: May 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to estimate the locational marginal price (LMP) at each distributed generation (DG) bus based on DG unit contribution in loss reduction. This LMP value can be used by distribution company (DISCO) to control private DG owners and operate network optimally in terms of active power loss.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper proposes proportional nucleolus game theory (PNGT)-based iterative method to compute LMP at each DG unit. In this algorithm, PNGT has been used to identify the share of each DG unit in loss reduction. New mathematical modeling has been incorporated in the proposed algorithm to compute incentives being given to each DG owner.

Findings
The findings of this paper are that the LMP and reactive power price values for each DG unit were computed by the proposed method for the first time. Network can be operated with less loss and zero DISCO’s extra benefit, which is essential in deregulated environment. Fair competition has been maintained among private DG owners using the proposed method.

Originality/value
PNGT has been used for the first time for computation of LMP in distribution system based on loss reduction. Incentives to each DG unit has have been computed based on financial savings of DISCO due to loss reduction. Share of active and reactive power generation of each DG unit on change in active power loss of network due to that DG unit has been computed with new mathematical modeling. The proposed method provides LMP value to each DG unit in such a way that the network will be operated with less loss.
What has project characteristics got to do with the empowerment of individuals, teams and organisations?
Authors: Tuuli Martin Morgan 
Published: May 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of project settings on empowerment experiences of individuals and teams by examining the effects of specific project characteristics on facets of the empowerment concept (i.e. the structural and psychological perspectives).Design/methodology/approachA parallel questionnaire survey of client, consultant and contractor organisations was conducted in Hong Kong to test hypotheses relating three facets of the empowerment concept and five project-level antecedents. Hierarchical linear modelling and ordinary least square regression were employed to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe analyses show that dynamic project environments, high project team integration and high interdependence of project tasks lead to high individual psychological empowerment, while public-client projects (compared with private-client projects), a hostile project environment and high client integration lead to a low individual psychological empowerment. Uncertainty in project technology also leads to high team psychological empowerment, while hostile project environments lead to low team psychological empowerment. Further, dynamic project environments lead to more empowering work climate, while hostile project environments lead to less empowering work climate. However, project team integration, project complexity, project lifecycle and quasi-public-client projects (compared with private-client projects) have no significant association with the empowerment of individuals and teams.Originality/valueThis study examined task-related factors (i.e. project in this case) which traditionally have not been the focus of studies examining the antecedents of empowerment. Further, project-level antecedents and their link to an integrated perspective of empowerment comprising a sociostructural perspective, a psychological perspective and a team-based perspective are examined, which is a significant departure from the unitary perspective of empowerment taken in most previous studies.
TapOnce: a novel authentication method on smartphones
Authors: Inoue Minori , Ogawa Takefumi 
Published: May 2018

Purpose
Security technology on mobile devices is increasingly more important as smartphones are becoming more versatile and, thus, store more sensitive information. Among the three indispensable factors of owner authentication technologies on mobile devices, security, usability and system efficiency, usability is considered the key factor. This paper aims to challenge the limits of usability on mobile device authentication technology with respect to input size.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper introduces one tap authentication as a novel authentication method on mobile devices. A user just has to tap the screen of a smartphone once, and he or she will be authenticated.

Findings
One tap authentication is proven possible in this paper. The average equal error rate among 10 owners against 25 unauthorized users is as low as 3.8.

Research limitations/implications
This paper focuses on verifying the possibility on one tap authentication. However, the application to various environments, such as when standing or walking or on a train, is not explored.

Originality/value
This research explores tap authentication with a single tap for the first time in the field. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the minimum number of taps required in tap authentication has been 4.
Difficulties for enjoyment of public spaces by residents: Maldonado-Punta del Este conurbation
Authors: Sánchez-Fernández María Dolores , Álvarez-Bassi Daniel , Ramon Cardona Jose 
Published: May 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to determine whether the various types of negative impacts have an effect on the general attitude toward tourism and the difficulty for the enjoyment of public spaces.Design/methodology/approachIt is a quantitative study that analyzes the causal relationships between variables through structural equation models. This study uses data from a sample of 420 residents from Maldonado and Punta del Este.FindingsThe result obtained shows that only the cultural loss is significant to explain the residents’ attitudes. On the other hand, the cultural loss, the environmental deterioration and the saturation are significant to explain the difficulties for the enjoyment of public spaces.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitations are the fact of performing the analysis in a specific destination with peculiarities that may affect the results and the representativeness of the sample used.Practical implicationsThe enjoyment of public spaces is a good indicator of the perception of negative impacts, so managers of urban tourist destinations can use this element as an indicator of quick consultation on residents’ attitudes.Originality/valueIt is a study that focuses on the negative impacts of tourism and its effect on the public spaces. The importance of public spaces in tourist destinations is under studied.
SDPedia: from DBpedia to domain-micropedia
Authors: Dong Chao , Zhao Chongchong 
Published: May 2018

Purpose
Online encyclopedia has facilitated users to easily access interesting knowledge and find solutions for daily problems. However, for the staff in specific domains, especially in secret-related domains, a domain-micropedia is still necessary for work.

Design/methodology/approach
In this paper, the authors propose an approach to extract entities from DBpedia and construct the SDPedia in space debris mitigation domain. First, the authors select the root categories about space debris mitigation domain by manual methods. Subsequently, the authors propose Distance of Electrical Resistance, Pages Common Words and AVDP algorithms to implement the extraction. The authors also achieve the data visualization by generating swf files and embedding them into web pages.

Findings
In the experiments, the precision, recall and F1-measure are used to evaluate the proposed algorithms. The authors set a series of thresholds to pursue the highest F1-measure. The experimental data indicate that the AVDP algorithm gets the highest F1-measure and is statistically effective for the entities extraction from DBpedia.

Originality/value
The authors propose an approach of deriving linked data from DBpedia and construct their own SDPedia, which has been applied in the space debris mitigation domain currently. Compared with DBpedia, the authors also add the linked data visualization. Moreover, the methodology can be used in many other domains in the future.
Corporate social responsibility disclosure and catering to investor sentiment in China
Authors: Sun Weizhang , Zhao Chunguang , Wang Yaping , Cho Charles H. 
Published: May 2018

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to examine the impact of investor sentiment on managers’ decisions to provide CSR disclosures. The core issue focuses on whether, why and how managers adjust their approach to CSR disclosure to cater to the investor sentiment.Design/methodology/approachOn the basis of 13,488 observations of A-share listed companies, the authors examine the impacts of investor sentiment on CSR disclosure, which is measured separately by the propensity to issue a standalone CSR report and the quality of CSR reports. Furthermore, the authors examine the moderating role of institutional factors in China.FindingsThe authors find that during low-sentiment periods, managers are more likely to issue a standalone CSR report and the quality of CSR reports is higher, and vice versa. Additionally, the authors find that the negative correlations between CSR disclosure and investor sentiment are stronger in state-owned enterprises.Research limitations/implicationsFirst, the measurement of investor sentiment reflects only a part of characteristics of investor sentiment. Second, the authors pay less attention to the specific items of a CSR report.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the literature on CSR disclosure and investor sentiment by combining the two fields together. Furthermore, the study deepens the understanding of the institutional context in China and contributes to research on the predictors of CSR disclosure.

Published: May 2018

Purpose
This study aims to synthesize the rich knowledge on spiritual intelligence (SI) research within the framework of human resource development (HRD) research.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on the search of multiple electronic databases authors conducted thematic review of the literature on SI and HRD. Themes associated with SI and HRD are extracted while employing the content analysis technique.

Findings
Five major themes emerged through the process of content analysis on the body of the reviewed literature. The themes which described the presence of SI-related research within the field of HRD, included: Conceptual connections between SI and HRD; SI Holistic Mechanism; SI and Leadership development, SI measurement tools and, finally, the impact of SI on sustainability.

Research limitations/implications
The inclusion and exclusion criteria are that the search for this review has been limited to peer-reviewed journals that are published SI-related articles. This paper excluded all articles on SI that `do not explicitly discuss the valuable role of human resources. The key words used are spiritual intelligence (SI) and HRD.

Originality/value
This paper offered new-fangled value and insightful understanding on SI and its implications for other areas, more specifically HRD. It suggests that SI is an important component for organizational development. Such interventions nurture the human resources that can lead to better performance as a whole.
Civil Liberties and the Korean War
Authors: Ewing K. D. , Mahoney Joan , Moretta Andrew 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThis article addresses the unsuccessful attempts to suppress free speech during the Korean War, and in particular explains the attempts to silence three reporters of alleged atrocities by United Nations forces. In the absence of carefully targeted legislation, the three individuals – Alan Winnington (a journalist), Monica Felton (a women's movement activist) and Jack Gaster (a solicitor) ‐ were threatened with or investigated for prosecution for treason or sedition, and Winnington was unable to renew his passport until 1968. Drawing heavily on archival sources (including MI5 files, which unusually fail to redact the identity of one of the lawyers who was reporting to Special Branch about Gaster's activities), the article explores the threat to civil liberties from the administrative as well as the legislative and the judicial power of the state. The article concludes by drawing contemporary parallels, and highlighting the continuing relevance of the writings of Winnington, Felton and Gaster.
The Common Law Constitution at Work: R (on the application of UNISON) v Lord Chancellor
Authors: Bogg Alan 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThis note considers the radical significance of Supreme Court's judgment in R (on the Application of UNISON) v Lord Chancellor (UNISON) on the unlawfulness of tribunal fees. It argues that the decision marks the coming of age of the ‘common law constitution at work’. The radical potential of UNISON lies in its generation of horizontal legal effects in disputes between private parties. Recent litigation on employment status in the ‘gig economy’ is analysed through the lens of UNISON and common law fundamental rights. The note identifies the various ways in which the common law tests of employment status might be ‘constitutionalised’ in the light of UNISON.
Autonomy, Erasure, and Persistence in the Urban Gardening Commons
Authors: Ginn Franklin , Ascensão Eduardo 
Published: May 2018

AbstractCollective gardening spaces have existed across Lisbon, Portugal for decades. This article attends to the makeshift natures made by black migrants from Portugal's former colonies, and the racial urban geography thrown into relief by the differing fortunes of white Portuguese community gardening spaces. Conceptualising urban gardens as commons‐in‐the‐making, we explore subaltern urbanism and the emergence of autonomous gardening commons on the one hand, and the state erasure, overwriting or construction of top‐down commons on the other. While showing that urban gardening forges commons of varying persistence, we also demonstrate the ways through which the commons are always closely entwined with processes of enclosure. We further argue that urban gardening commons are divergent and cannot be judged against any abstract ideal of the commons. In conclusion, we suggest that urban gardening commons do not have a “common” in common.
The ethical significance of Michael DiBiase v. City of Vaughan
Authors: MacEwen Philip 
Published: May 2018

AbstractIn academia, ethics is usually divided into three areas: 1) descriptive ethics, 2) prescriptive ethics, and 3) meta‐ethics. This article argues that Michael DiBiase v. City of Vaughan is significant in terms of all three areas of ethics. It is important for the following three reasons. a) It articulates a “statutory scheme” (Part V.1 of the Municipal Act, 2001, the code of conduct of the relevant municipality (Vaughan), and the complaint protocol or rules or any other guidelines or documents for receiving, investigating, and reporting the findings of a complaint to a municipal council) that governs an Integrity Commissioner. b) It confirms that an Integrity Commissioner who exercises the powers conferred upon her and applies the relevant municipal code of conduct and complaint protocol in a manner which passes the test of reasonableness is acting rightfully when she interprets and reformulates complaints submitted by the public. c) It clarifies what it means to be an “Integrity Commissioner” by specifying the purpose, role, and function of those who hold this position.
What lies ahead for public sector ethics?
Authors: Dodek Adam 
Published: May 2018

AbstractWhat principles and dynamics unite public sector accountability offices—the need for independence, the need for resources, the need for clear mandates and appropriate powers, and the need for buy‐in from those who are being held accountable? This article explores where the field of public sector ethics is heading in the future, particularly in light of the tension with partisan politics in a Parliamentary democracy and the limited legal and administrative tools at the disposal of accountability/ethics officers. More broadly, this article will examine the significance of advancing a community of interest and professional standards across accountability/ethics officers.

Published: May 2018

AbstractBackgroundAnti‐myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies (MOG‐Ab) are positive in some patients with neuromyelitis optica/neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders; however, their clinical diversity remains unclear.Case presentationWe encountered three anti‐MOG‐Ab‐positive Japanese adult patients with brain lesions, but lacking optic neuritis and myelitis. Magnetic resonance imaging detected lesions in the cerebral gray and white matter, brainstem, and cerebellum, and 18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography imaging showed normal or decreased uptake in acute lesions.ConclusionsPatients with anti‐MOG‐Ab might present with brain lesions only, and lack optic neuritis and myelitis. The anti‐MOG‐Ab titer needs to be measured in inflammatory diseases that affect the central nervous system, including atypical multiple sclerosis and autoimmune meningoencephalitis.
A brief primer on the mediational role of BDNF in the exercise‐memory link
Authors: Loprinzi Paul D. , Frith Emily 
Published: May 2018

SummaryOne of the most amazing aspects of the human brain is its ability to learn information and use it to change behaviour. A key neurotrophin that influences memory function is brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This review briefly discusses the mechanistic role that BDNF may play in facilitating learning and memory. We also describe the role of exercise on this relationship. As discussed herein, BDNF may influence memory via BDNF‐induced alterations in membrane receptor expression and translocation, as well as activating several pathways (PLC‐y, PI3K, ERK) that act together to facilitate cellular effects that influence synaptic plasticity. Exercise may help to facilitate BDNF expression and its downstream cellular pathways from both direct and indirect mechanisms.
Improving biodiversity surrogates for conservation assessment: A test of methods and the value of targeted biological surveys
Authors: Ware Chris , Williams Kristen J. , Harding Jo , Hawkins Brian , Harwood Thomas , Manion Glenn , Perkins Genevieve C. , Ferrier Simon 
Published: May 2018

AbstractAimConservation assessment and planning across extensive regions rely on the use of mapped or modelled surrogates because direct field‐based inventories of biodiversity rarely provide complete spatial coverage. Surrogates are assumed to represent spatial patterns in the distribution of biodiversity, yet the validity of this assumption is rarely evaluated. Here, we use data from new biological surveys targeting poorly known taxonomic groups across sparsely surveyed landscapes to test: (1) the performance of established and novel surrogates; and (2) the value of targeted survey data in further improving surrogate effectiveness.LocationContinental Australia.MethodsSurrogates were derived from either mapped land classifications (bioregions, vegetation types), or models of spatial turnover in biodiversity composition. Models were derived by linking best‐available biological observations to high‐resolution mapped climate, terrain and soil attributes using generalized dissimilarity modelling (GDM). The performance of surrogates was evaluated using survey data for eight biological groups collected as part of the Bush Blitz programme (http://bushblitz.org). For theGDM‐based surrogates, within‐ and cross‐taxon performance was first evaluated for models fitted to biological data available prior to Bush Blitz, and then for models enhanced through the addition of the Bush Blitz data.ResultsAll of the tested surrogates performed significantly better than random across all eight biological groups.GDM‐based surrogates performed over 10% better on average than the best performing combination of mapped land classifications. The addition of Bush Blitz targeted data inGDM‐based surrogates led to further improvements in surrogate performance.Main conclusionsOur results support continued investment in targeted biological survey programmes to enhance the performance of surrogates and ensure that surrogates represent a wider breadth of biodiversity. The strong performance of compositional turnover modelling, relative to mapped land classifications, suggests that this surrogate strategy deserves greater consideration in future conservation assessments and has potential for use in continental‐scale monitoring of biodiversity.
Towards a legal theory of capture
Authors: Devaux Caroline 
Published: May 2018

AbstractTo assert their role in global governance, international organisations, including the EU, have progressively involved economic actors in their activities, particularly in the course of law‐making processes. Their integration, even if necessary, raises the risk of excessive influence that they may exert on law‐makers. The paper builds on the theory of regulation that coined the concept of ‘capture’ and proposes to analyse the conditions and effects of such phenomenon within three selected international organisations that are particularly prone to the influence of economic actors: the United Nations (UN), the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). In light of their practice, the paper suggests key features that an EU legal framework could take to promote the participation of economic actors in its law‐making process while preventing the occurrence of capture.
Structural basis for nucleotide recognition by the ectoenzyme CD203c
Authors: Gorelik Alexei , Randriamihaja Antsa , Illes Katalin , Nagar Bhushan 
Published: May 2018

The ecto‐nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (NPP) enzyme family modulates purinergic signaling by degrading extracellular nucleotides. CD203c (NPP3, ENPP3) regulates the inflammatory response of basophils via ATP hydrolysis and is a marker for allergen sensitivity on the surface of these cells. Multiple other roles and substrates have also been proposed for this protein. In order to gain insight into its molecular functions, we determined the crystal structure of human NPP3 as well as its complex with an ATP analog. The enzyme exhibits little preference for nucleobase type, and forms specific contacts with the alpha and beta phosphate groups of its ligands. Dimerization of the protein does not affect its catalytic activity. These findings expand our understanding of substrate recognition within the NPP family.DatabaseStructural data are available in the Protein Data Bank under the accession numbers 6C01 (human NPP3) and 6C02 (human NPP3 T205A N594S with AMPCPP).
