Authors: Badry Dorothy , Coons-Harding Kelly D. , Cook Jocelynn , Bocking Alan 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a profile of the Canada fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (CanFASD) research network which is descriptive in nature and profiles the work of the network and its national activities. CanFASD is a unique Canadian, non-governmental organization whose aim is to engage cross-disciplinary research and knowledge translation for stakeholders and partners including communities, policy makers and governments.

Design/methodology/approach
A case study approach was undertaken to describe the network whose main focus and purpose is specifically research related to FASD.

Findings
The creation of CanFASD has contributed to a strong network of researchers on key topic areas including diagnosis, prevention, intervention, justice and child welfare, with a focus on evidence-based decision making, research and knowledge exchange. A key role of the network is to provide access to research and education on FASD nationally.

Research limitations/implications
A case study approach, while descriptive, does not provide the details of specific research projects.

Originality/value
CanFASD has had a key role in stimulating meaningful dialogue and research in the field of FASD. The need exists to collaboratively work on a national and international basis in response to the distinct challenges posed by FASD for individuals, families and society.
Numerical analysis of mixed convection of different nanofluids in concentric annulus
Authors: Abedini Ahad , Emadoddin Saeed , Armaghani Taher 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the numerical analysis of mixed convection within the horizontal annulus in the presence of water-based fluid with nanoparticles of aluminum oxide, copper, silver and titanium oxide. Numerical solution is performed using a finite-volume method based on the SIMPLE algorithm, and the discretization of the equations is generally of the second order. Inner and outer cylinders have a constant temperature, and the inner cylinder temperature is higher than the outer one. The two cylinders can be rotated in both directions at a constant angular velocity. The effect of parameters such as Rayleigh, Richardson, Reynolds and the volume fraction of nanoparticles on heat transfer and flow pattern are investigated. The results show that the heat transfer rate increases with the increase of the Rayleigh number, as well as by increasing the volume fraction of the nanoparticles, the heat transfer rate increases, and this increase is about 8.25 per cent for 5 per cent volumetric fraction. Rotation of the cylinders reduces the overall heat transfer. Different directions of rotation have a great influence on the flow pattern and isotherms, and ultimately on heat transfer. The addition of nanoparticles does not have much effect on the flow pattern and isotherms, but it is quantitatively effective. The extracted results are in good agreement with previous works.

Design/methodology/approach
Studying mixed convection heat transfer in the horizontal annulus in the presence of a water-based fluid with aluminum oxide, copper, silver and titanium oxide nanoparticles is carried out quantitatively using a finite-volume method based on the SIMPLE algorithm.

Findings
Increasing the Rayleigh number increases the Nusselt number. Increasing the Richardson number increases heat transfer. Adding nanoparticles does not have much effect on the flow pattern but is effective quantitatively on heat transfer parameters. The addition of nanoparticles sometimes increases the heat transfer rate by about 8.25 per cent. In constant Rayleigh numbers, increasing the Reynolds number reduces heat transfer. The Rayleigh and Reynolds numbers greatly affect the isotherms and streamlines. In addition to the thermal conductivity of nanoparticles, the thermo-physical properties of nanoparticles has great effect in the formation of isotherms and streamlines and ultimately heat transfer.

Originality/value
Studying the effect of different direction of rotation on the isotherms and streamlines, as well as the comparison of different nanoparticles on mixed convection heat transfer in annulus.
Behavioural economics and social economics: opportunities for an expanded curriculum
Authors: Manning Paul 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
The global financial crisis (GFC) undermined the legitimacy of orthodox economic assumptions, which nevertheless continue to frame business school pedagogy. In consequence, there is an opportunity for socio-economic insights to be more fully incorporated into the business school curriculum. This paper reports and reflects on a socio-economic case study that was delivered to MBA students. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the developing literature on behavioural economics (BE) has the potential to enhance students’ social economic understanding of key areas of the curriculum.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper presents an inter-disciplinary socio-economic teaching case that was informed by insights from BE. The teaching case concerned a socio-economic understanding of corruption and white-collar crime. It was also inter-disciplinary to include inputs from business history and criminology. The aim of the teaching case was to develop an appreciation among students that corruption and white-collar crime can be analysed within a social economics lens.

Findings
The teaching case example discussed in this paper offered an alternative socio-economic understanding to core areas of the MBA curriculum, enabling students to apply a behavioural economic approach to corruption and more generally to white-collar crime. The findings derived from this case study are that behavioural economics has the potential to enhance the teaching of socio-economics.

Practical implications
The GFC presents an opportunity to re-shape the business school curriculum to acknowledge the centrality of socio-economics and consequently to offer an alternative to the dominant ontological assumptions – taken from the economic understanding of rationality – that have previously under-pinned business school pedagogy.

Originality/value
The originality of this paper is to apply BE to a socio-economic teaching case studies in core subject areas of the MBA curriculum.
“Robots do not replace a nurse with a beating heart”
Authors: Tuisku Outi , Pekkarinen Satu , Hennala Lea , Melkas Helinä 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the publicity around the implementation of the Zora robot in elderly-care services in Lahti, Finland. The aim is to discover opinions concerning the use of robots in elderly care as well as the arguments and justifications behind those opinions. Zora is a humanoid robot intended to promote mobility and rehabilitation. The Lahti pilot was the first Zora pilot in Finland in public elderly-care services. It received much publicity, both regionally and nationally.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is based on an empirical case study on the implementation of the Zora robot in elderly-care services. The data consist of interviews with personnel who operated Zora and comments from the general public about the “Zora” robot. Two data sources were used: 107 comments were collected from online and print media, and the personnel (n=39) who worked with Zora were interviewed. The data were analysed by means of interpretative content analysis.

Findings
The results show that public opinion is mainly negative, but that the commentators apparently have little information about the robot and its tasks. The personnel had more positive views; they saw it as a recreational tool, not as a replacement for their own roles.

Originality/value
There is clearly a need for more information, for a better informed discussion on how robots can be used in elderly care and how to involve the general public in this discussion in a constructive way.
Knowledge transfer between building operation and building projects
Authors: Jensen Per Anker , Rasmussen Helle Lohmann , Chatzilazarou Stamatia 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate how knowledge concerning operation and maintenance of buildings can be stored and transferred between the parties responsible for building operation and new building projects.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper is theoretically based on knowledge management with a particular focus on interdepartmental knowledge transfer between departments responsible for operation and maintenance and departments responsible for building projects in organisations with large and fast changing building portfolios. The paper includes a case study of the facilities management organisation of the Technical University of Denmark with data collection mainly by interviews with managers and staff in the relevant departments in this organisation.

Findings
The case organisation seems to be aware of the importance of sharing and transferring their organisational knowledge. Over the past five years, the organisation has developed different tools and adopted several processes, aiming at integration of the knowledge they possess from many years of operation and maintenance of the existing buildings. However, there are many situations, where the tools and processes do not work efficiently, and therefore the knowledge transfer is not sufficiently effective. It is apparent that the best results can be achieved only if the different actors involved in a construction project collaborate aiming towards the same objectives.

Originality/value
The paper presents and evaluates a case of interdepartmental knowledge transfer in an organisation, which has a strong focus on improving the interconnections between building operations and planning new building projects.
The factors behind working in virtual community
Authors: Acharya Anitha 
Published: December 2018

PurposeIn this paper, the prior research on virtual teams was reviewed to assess the state of the literature. The purpose of this paper is to determine why individuals prefer working in virtual teams (also termed liquid workers and part-time workers). Previous researchers have focussed on the benefits that organizations receive if they hire liquid workers, but to date, no research has been conducted to determine the perspective of these liquid workers. The various definitions of virtual teams are discussed and an integrative definition is proposed that suggests all teams may be defined in terms of their extent of virtualness.Design/methodology approachA systematic review of the literature on virtual teams was conducted. The data were collected from 12 informants. A thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.FindingsSix main themes were identified, namely, pliability, opportunities, increased earnings, vigour, family and transportation.Research limitations/implicationsThis study was conducted in a three-metropolitan city in India and warrants being extended to rural and international settings to gain additional insights and confirmation of the research findings.Practical implicationsIt is suggested that organizations who recruit liquid workers will be in a position for substantial cost savings; this is because organizations usually make payment of liquid workers’ wages on an hourly basis. This will help the organizations to schedule the number of working hours depending on their needs.Originality/valueThe current study is novel as there is a paucity of research in identifying the factors behind working in the virtual community in India. This study presents the first research of its kind to the best knowledge of the author, and the findings will be valuable for companies who are looking for cost savings.
Are there preferred coping and communication strategies while undergoing IVF, and do cognitive behavioral interventions help?
Authors: Czamanski-Cohen Johanna , Sarid Orly , Cwikel Julie , Levitas Eliahu , Har-Vardi Iris 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
Coping and communication strategies affect how one perceives potentially stressful life events, such as infertility. Cognitive behavioral interventions (CBI) can reduce the distress related to undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of CBI on the coping and communication skills as well as perceived stress and depressive symptoms of women undergoing IVF treatment. The authors also explored the relationship between coping strategies and pregnancy rates.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors conducted a randomized controlled trial of CBI in 50 women undergoing IVF (NCT00685282).

Findings
The authors found that CBI was associated with reductions in active-confrontive coping among over 50 percent of participants, which was also found to be positively related to depressive symptoms. Furthermore, high meaning-based coping at baseline and high-avoidant coping at the end of IVF treatment were associated with increased pregnancy rates.

Research limitations/implications
CBI can be helpful in reducing the perceived stress of women undergoing IVF; however, the adaptiveness of individual coping skills and communication skills vary. Since different coping strategies seem to be of benefit at different time points, further studies might benefit from the examination of engaging in context-dependent coping strategies.

Practical implications
Integrating mental health care on infertility units may assist in reducing the stress and thus quality of care in women undergoing IVF. Mental health care can be tailored to meet the individual needs of infertility patients based on their preferred coping strategies and communication style. Further research is needed to examine the cost benefit of reducing perceived stress in fertility patients.

Social implications
Infertility is a social and medical problem that has vast implications on the mental health of individuals. Providing support along with practical tools for stress reduction and improved coping and communication can result in reduced stress and improved coping.

Originality/value
This paper examined the effect of a cognitive behavioral intervention on the coping strategies and communication skills of women undergoing IVF and can contribute to our understanding of the value of integrating mental health and medical care.
Assessment of mechanical properties and flammability of magnesium oxide/PA12 composite material for SLS process
Authors: Tiwari Sunil Kumar , Pande Sarang , Bobade Santosh M. , Kumar Santosh 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose and develop PA2200-based composite powder containing 0-15 Wt.% magnesium oxide before directly using it in selective laser sintering (SLS) machine to produce end-use products for low-volume production in the engineering applications with keen focus to meet the functional requirements which rely on material properties.

Design/methodology/approach
The methodology reported emphasises PA2200-based composite powder containing 0-15 Wt.% magnesium oxide development for SLS process which starts with preparation and characterisation of composite material, thermal and rheological study of composite material to decide optimum process parameters for SLS process machine to get optimal part properties. Further, to verify composite material properties, a conventional casting methodology is used. The composition of composite materials those possessing good properties are further selected for processing in SLS process under optimal processing parameters.

Findings
The process parameters of SLS machine are material-dependent. The effect of temperature in X-ray diffraction profile is negligible in the case of magnesium oxide reinforced PA2200 composite material. The cyclic heating of material increases melting point temperature, this grounds to modify part bed temperature of material every time before processing on SLS machine to uphold build part properties, as well as material. With the rise in temperature, the Melt flow index and rheological property of materials change. The magnesium oxide reinforced PA2200 composite material has high thermal stability than pure PA2200 material. By the addition of small quantity of magnesium oxide, most of the mechanical property and flammability property improves while elongation at break (percentage) decreases significantly.

Practical implications
The proposed PA2200-based composite powder containing 0-15 Wt.% magnesium oxide material development system and casting metrology to verify developed material properties will be very useful to develop new composite material for SLS process with use of less material. The developed methodology has proven, especially in the case where non-experts or student need to develop composite material for SLS process according to the property requirement of applications.

Originality/value
Unlike earlier composite material development methodology, the projected methodology of polymer-based composite material and confirmation of material properties instead of commencing SLS process provides straight forward means for SLS process composite materials development with less use of the material and period of time.

Authors: Hepner Lionel 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
The paper intends to share with the reader some ideas that position the management of compensations as a strategic factor for the organizational culture shaping.

Design/methodology/approach
The author shares some ideas and examples that demonstrate how we could understand reward management as a key aspect of HR strategy. Through practical examples, will show why it has a deep impact on the so-called soft areas of HR. A strategic compensation model is introduced for the promotion of culture of innovation and the creation of new businesses through the employees of the organization.

Findings
Reward systems are part of a fundamental strategy to modelize organizational culture through the installation of symbols that has direct impact on the employee value proposition. Thinking Outside the Box can be promoted within employees through reward systems, so they can create new businesses according to the nowadays VUCA context. We are living in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world that forces us to open our minds and be prepared to change with agility the products and services that our companies offer. An HR professional can modelize the employee value proposition through intelligent rewarding systems

Originality/value
This paper presents innovative ideas to manage the human resources strategy through reward systems. This scheme represents a new paradigm of human resources management to lead the current business challenges through people.
Evaluating potential transformational leaders: weighing charisma vs. credibility
Authors: Raffo Deana , Williams Ralph 
Published: December 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore credibility, as an alternative to charisma, as an important attribute of transformational and authentic leadership. 10;

Design/methodology/approach
This is a conceptual paper. From leadership literature, we discuss transformational leadership, authentic leadership, charisma, and credibility. The literature on leadership and credibility is limited, yet we provide relevant examples.

Findings
The authors conclude that credibility, rather than charisma, provides a more accessible and ethical framework to capture the essence of transformational and authentic leadership. Yet, charisma may enhance leadership. Practical recommendations are provided related to charisma and credibility.

Practical implications
Practical recommendations are given to help leaders think about charisma differently and consider credibility as a core attribute to embrace in leading others. 10; 10;

Originality/value
The literature on credibility and leadership is limited, but this topic is frequently discussed in business, politics, religion, media, etc.
S‐wave splitting intensity analysis and inversion
Authors: Boiero Daniele , Bagaini Claudio 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTAnalysing S‐wave splitting has become a routine step in processing multicomponent data. Typically, this analysis leads to determining the principal directions of a transversely isotropic medium with a horizontal symmetry axis, which is assumed to be responsible for azimuthal anisotropy, and to the time delays between the fast and slow S‐waves. These parameters are commonly estimated layer‐by‐layer from the top. Errors in layer stripping occurring in shallow layers might propagate to deeper layers.We propose a method for S‐wave splitting analysis and compensation that consists of inverting interval values of splitting intensity to obtain a model of anisotropic parameters that vary with time and/or depth. Splitting intensity is a robust attribute with respect to structural variations and is commutative, which means that it can be summed along a ray (or throughout a sensitivity kernel volume) and can be linearly related to anisotropic perturbations at depth. Therefore, it is possible to estimate anisotropic properties within a geological formation (e.g. the reservoir) by analysing the differences of splitting intensity measured at the top and at the bottom of the layer. This allows us to avoid layer stripping, in particular, for shallow layers where anisotropic parameters are difficult to estimate due to poor coverage, and it makes S‐wave splitting analysis simpler to apply. We demonstrate this method on synthetic and real data.Because the splitting intensity attribute shows usefulness in S‐wave splitting analysis in transversely isotropic media, we extend the splitting intensity theory to lower symmetry classes. It enables the characterization of tilted transversely isotropic and tilted orthorhombic media, opening new opportunities for anisotropic model building.
‘What's cooking?’ A comparison of an activity‐oriented and a table‐top programme of therapy on the language performance of people with aphasia
Authors: Bruce Carolyn , Newton Caroline 
Published: December 2018

AbstractBackgroundMany people with aphasia have word‐finding difficulties, with some showing particular difficulties with verbs. Picture‐naming therapy is often used to improve naming, but gains are usually limited to therapy items and do not transfer to conversation. Therapy where words are produced in sentences and in real‐life activities may be more effective.AimsThe current pilot study investigated whether an activity‐oriented therapy approach would be accepted and viable if implemented in a community setting, and whether communicating whilst cooking was more beneficial than using paper‐based activities. If successful, it would be expected that verb production would improve in structured and unstructured tasks in both naming and narrative tasks.Methods & ProceduresThe study employed a case‐series repeated‐measures design, with testing of treated and control items. Seven adults with anomia participated, although only five completed the full programme. Participants were divided into two groups and each group completed both treatments, but in different orders. Each treatment was employed for six 2‐h sessions over a 3‐week period.Outcomes & ResultsNaming of both treated and untreated verbs showed a statistically significant improvement following both treatments and this continued into the maintenance phase. There was a numerical but not statistically significant gain in the variety of verbs used in spoken narratives. Participants predominantly chose positive terms to describe their experience of the programme, but did not prefer one therapy over the other.Conclusions & ImplicationsPreliminary findings suggest that an activity‐oriented therapy approach, whether it involves carrying out tasks or paper‐based activities, can result in clinically meaningful improvements for people with chronic aphasia. Further research using a randomized control trial is required to determine whether cooking therapy alone is effective.
