A psychological perspective on immigration: the reasons and hardships of migrating to Brazil’s capital, Brasília
Authors: Carvalho Alberto Rodrigues , Martins Francisco Catunda 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to seek the inner motivations present in immigrants moving from different regions of Brazil to its capital, Brasília. The goal is to find out the individuals’ stories, not only the macroeconomic aspects usually studied in migration movements. Also, the authors intend to understand how impacting the process of leaving one’s homeland and loved ones behind can be.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, ten recent immigrants were interviewed about their inner motivations to migrate to Brasília and the difficulties faced. Their answers were categorized and distributed into charts showing the most relevant parts for the study.

Findings
Two main topics stood out: work and love. The search for a meaningful and rewarding job is a strong enough reason to migrate. Love presents itself as a different reason to migrate, especially when economic and political reasons are the most common motivators. Love has to do with wanting to be with a partner or family. Migration is a time for crisis, mourning can be present and the strangeness of the new place may affect some more than others. All interviewees mentioned the hardships of adapting, be it emotionally or psychologically.

Originality/value
It is a response to the lack of clinical psychology studies about migration in Brazil. The importance of having studies carried out with a more qualitative perspective in the field of migration, in which the focus are the inner motivations of the migrants and what their experiences are.
Somali refugees’ perspectives regarding FGM/C in the US
Authors: McNeely Shaunessy , Jong Floor Christie-de 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore perspectives of Somali refugees on female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) and potential changes in these after migration.

Design/methodology/approach
Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted in Denver, Colorado, USA, with 13 Somali refugees. Thematic content analysis was used to analyze the data.

Findings
Change of perspectives regarding the support of FGM/C were noted among all participants, with most opposing infibulations, FGM/C type III, after migration but supporting Sunna, the cutting of the clitoris, FGM/C type I. Changes were prompted by education on FGM/C and resettling resulting in an awareness that infibulation is not a religious requirement nor undergone by all women. Cultural beliefs regarding the importance of virginity, purity and honor to the family underpinning the rationale of FGM/C were prevalent and some confusion in dealing with these cultural values was found. Women reported health care providers (HCPs) not being culturally prepared for women with FGM/C.

Research limitations/implications
Despite limitations to the study, findings indicate the complex process of migration and acculturation, leaving communities with cultural values in a context where these are not accepted. More research and discussion with the Somali immigrant community is required to better understand the practice of FGM/C after immigration, and how to deal with these cultural values.

Originality/value
Findings suggest some girls may still be at risk of some types of FGM/C after migration. Public health professionals, social and immigration workers should be aware of a potential risk. HCPs should prepare for caring for women with FGM/C.
Test methods for robot agility in manufacturing
Authors: Downs Anthony , Harrison William , Schlenoff Craig 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to define and describe test methods and metrics to assess industrial robot system agility in both simulation and in reality.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper describes test methods and associated quantitative and qualitative metrics for assessing robot system efficiency and effectiveness, which can then be used for the assessment of system agility.

Findings
The paper describes how the test methods were implemented in a simulation environment and real-world environment. It also shows how the metrics are measured and assessed as they would be in a future competition.

Practical implications
The test methods described in this paper will push forward the state of the art in software agility for manufacturing robots, allowing small and medium manufacturers to better utilize robotic systems.

Originality/value
The paper fulfills the identified need for standard test methods to measure and allow for improvement in software agility for manufacturing robots.
Learning of assembly constraints by demonstration and active exploration
Authors: Kramberger Aljaž , Piltaver Rok , Nemec Bojan , Gams Matjaž , Ude Aleš 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
In this paper, the authors aim to propose a method for learning robotic assembly sequences, where precedence constraints and object relative size and location constraints can be learned by demonstration and autonomous robot exploration.

Design/methodology/approach
To successfully plan the operations involved in assembly tasks, the planner needs to know the constraints of the desired task. In this paper, the authors propose a methodology for learning such constraints by demonstration and autonomous exploration. The learning of precedence constraints and object relative size and location constraints, which are needed to construct a planner for automated assembly, were investigated. In the developed system, the learning of symbolic constraints is integrated with low-level control algorithms, which is essential to enable active robot learning.

Findings
The authors demonstrated that the proposed reasoning algorithms can be used to learn previously unknown assembly constraints that are needed to implement a planner for automated assembly. Cranfield benchmark, which is a standardized benchmark for testing algorithms for robot assembly, was used to evaluate the proposed approaches. The authors evaluated the learning performance both in simulation and on a real robot.

Practical implications
The authors' approach reduces the amount of programming that is needed to set up new assembly cells and consequently the overall set up time when new products are introduced into the workcell.

Originality/value
In this paper, the authors propose a new approach for learning assembly constraints based on programming by demonstration and active robot exploration to reduce the computational complexity of the underlying search problems. The authors developed algorithms for success/failure detection of assembly operations based on the comparison of expected signals (forces and torques, positions and orientations of the assembly parts) with the actual signals sensed by a robot. In this manner, all precedence and object size and location constraints can be learned, thereby providing the necessary input for the optimal planning of the entire assembly process.
Industrial robot capability models for agile manufacturing
Authors: Kootbally Zeid 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to represent a capability model for industrial robot as they pertain to assembly tasks.

Design/methodology/approach
The architecture of a real kit building application is provided to demonstrate how robot capabilities can be used to fully automate the planning of assembly tasks. Discussion on the planning infrastructure is done with the Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) for heterogeneous multi robot systems.

Findings
The paper describes PDDL domain and problem files that are used by a planner to generate a plan for kitting. Discussion on the plan shows that the best robot is selected to carry out assembly actions.

Originality/value
The author presents a robot capability model that is intended to be used for helping manufacturers to characterize the different capabilities their robots contribute to help the end user to select the appropriate robots for the appropriate tasks, selecting backup robots during robot’s failures to limit the deterioration of the system’s productivity and the products’ quality and limiting robots’ failures and increasing productivity by providing a tool to manufacturers that outputs a process plan that assigns the best robot to each task needed to accomplish the assembly.
De-commoditizing change management
Authors: Brown Derek Robert , Rose Dennis , Gordon Ray 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to begin the discussion about re-positioning change management in information technology projects and to propose a framework for improving the quality of decision making in change initiatives that may contribute to that re-positioning.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper analyzed all change management job advertisements in Australia in both the public and private sectors for May 2015, to identify which change management-related skills were being sought. The purpose was to try to identify any patterns that would confirm or negate the original observations, and to help develop a research question for a subsequent, substantive study.

Findings
Change management may be perceived as predominantly comprising communications, stakeholder management and training. The quality of leadership decision making in change initiatives may also be contributing to the consistently high failure rates.

Research limitations/implications
The analysis of job advertisements was a sample only, and requires more quantitative research.

Practical implications
The required alignment of leadership, ethics and change can only be achieved by first improving the quality of leadership decision making, which demands a values-based approach.

Originality/value
The paper highlights a restriction to the scope of practice of change management, and how that contributes to continuing high failure rates. The value is that it provides deeper insight into the commonly accepted “leadership alignment” issue, as well as demonstrating that this is probably the least practiced aspect of change management. The paper also challenges to build strong ethical foundations for the practice.
Organizational learning? Look again
Authors: Belle Stuart 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
Despite the growth in research on conditions for successful learning by organizations and the introduction of expanding practices and approaches, a progressive and shared understanding of the link between organizational learning and governance is currently missing. This paper aims to take a closer look at organizational learning from a governance angle alongside an institution’s strategic and performance improvement goals.

Design/methodology/approach
This article takes a reflective approach through which the author’s observations and experiences in guiding organizational learning efforts are presented.

Findings
The nature of participation and advances in learning how to participate in organizational learning are noted as areas for further inquiry. Dimensions such as desirability, discipline, decision-making, democracy and dividend are presented as critical elements through which organizational learning as governance can be better understood. This novel view of organizational learning is suggested to require more thoughtful and sensitive empirical inquiry and theory development, particularly in contexts with a history of less-than-good governance.

Originality/value
This viewpoint makes an original contribution to the literature by introducing a new lens through which a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the practices, processes and performance of organizational learning can be further pursued. The article invites researchers, practitioners and leaders in organizations to take another look at how knowledge generation and use is governed. This paper also positions developing and less-developed contexts as ripe and necessary fields within which organizational learning capacities should be explored and strengthened.
Organizational learning in shop floor level
Authors: Cheung Che Keung , Geng Shuang , Chuah Kong Bieng , Chau Yiu Chung , Kwong Kar Fai 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to present the result of the pilot run of a research project which aims at evaluating the applicability of project-based action learning (PAL) to shop floor organizational learning (OL) component in a manufacturing company in Dongguan, China. How the PAL framework was introduced and implemented is described. The factors that influence PAL implementation are examined in this pilot implementation. The implications and effectiveness are discussed. The findings shed light on the modifications needed in the PAL framework for shop floor implementation.

Design/methodology/approach
This is a longitudinal case research which is conducted in a case company (APT) located in Dongguan, China. PAL framework was introduced and implemented in APT. A wave-like approach was used to repeat launching PAL projects in cycles. Data of learning and work performances were collected for review during each phase and each cycle of the project. The result presented here is from the early round of the pilot PAL implementation.

Findings
Result indicated that the PAL framework is applicable in the shop floor level OL. Learning and performance have been found to have improved in all the PAL groups participating in the pilot run. Result also shows that the PAL implementation framework needs some fine tuning to meet the needs of the unique shop floor environment particularly with regard to performance measure and evaluation.

Originality/value
No such case study has been conducted in shop floor level before. The research study will be valuable experience and example for other organizations to implement OL in shop floor level.
Mediating role of organizational learning on the relationship between market orientation and innovativeness
Authors: Raj Rahul , Srivastava Kailash B.L. 
Published: September 2016

PurposeThis paper has three purposes – first, to establish the direction of relationship between market orientation (MO) and organizational learning (OL); second, to assess the effect of MO and OL on organizational innovativeness (OI); and third, to examine the mediating role of OL on the relationship between MO and innovativeness.Design/methodology/approachThis research was carried out with a sample size of 321 respondents from Indian private and government/public sector industries, applying structural equation modeling (maximum likelihood estimation technique) using AMOS 16. To check the mediation, the study adopts the method suggested by Baron and Kenny (1986).FindingsThe study finds that MO acts as an antecedent to OL, and the direct effect of both the variables on innovativeness is positive. The study also exhibits that though OL plays a role of mediator between MO and innovativeness, yet the mediation is partial. However, the study also demonstrates the dominance of OL over MO to improve OI.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is survey-based, where self-reporting bias can occur. The study considers the cross-sectional data only, whereas OL is a dynamic process which constrains the ability to make causal relations. Therefore, to firmly show relationships, the use of longitudinal study is necessary. Moreover, the study mainly includes Indian organizations. The diverse sample from different multi-national companies could lead to a better understanding of the model.Practical implicationsThe study suggests that organizations need an inclination toward market information to improve their innovativeness in changing the business environment. The innovativeness of the organization can be improved further with the introduction of proper organizational learning processes which includes both adaptive and generative learning. The partial mediation of OL suggests that firms have several other ways to improve innovativeness; however, learning offers opportunity to process the external information adequately that can be combined with other resources to enhance innovativeness.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the literature in three ways. First, it addresses a gap in literature by responding to issues regarding the direction of relationship between MO and OL. It also provides empirical evidence that MO precedes OL. Second, it bridges the gap between MO and innovativeness literature by providing empirical evidence. Third, it also demonstrates the possible mediating role of OL between MO and innovativeness.
Organizational teaching and learning – a (re)view from educational science
Authors: Lahn Leif Christian 
Published: September 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the dominance of the participation metaphor for learning in the literature on learning organizations and to propose a working model of the teaching organization with conceptual input from educational science and the sociology of professions.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper combines theoretical critique and a selective review of literature that is relevant to the discussion of the concept “teaching organization”.

Findings
Concepts referring to teaching as a systemic attribute of learning organizations are not made explicit in texts on organizational learning and knowing. Key concepts from educational science are almost completely absent from this literature.

Originality/value
The paper describes elements from educational science and the sociology of professions and proposes to integrate them in a model of a teaching organization that could serve as a theoretical platform for further empirical studies.

Published: September 2016

AbstractXeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic disorder which is divided into eight complementation groups: XP‐A to XP‐G and XP‐V. Some XP patients demonstrate severe cutaneous and neurological manifestations, management of which requires timely diagnosis and intervention. We performed clinical evaluation and genetic analysis on 19 patients, the largest cohort of XP to date in China. Twenty‐three mutations from six groups were identified, 16 of which were novel. All patients developed marked freckle‐like pigmentation on sun‐exposed sites while patients with XP‐A, XP‐D, XP‐F and XP‐G showed acute sunburn reactions. Only XP‐A patients displayed progressive neurological degeneration. A relatively larger proportion of XP‐A and XP‐C were found in Chinese XP patients. One XP case and two carriers were prenatally determined. This study extended the mutation spectrum of XP in China and may aid in the diagnosis and treatment of Chinese XP patients.

Published: September 2016

PURPOSEThis study explored how well the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) covers adult inpatient psychiatric care.METHODSBy systematic analyses and a mapping approach, documented nursing interventions were assessed on concurrencies with the NIC.FINDINGSFrom 2,153 intervention descriptions in nursing notes, 1,924 were recognizable as NIC interventions, and 229 did not match the NIC. 89.4% of all identified descriptions of interventions were recognizable as NIC interventions on the level of definition.CONCLUSIONSThis study demonstrates that the NIC describes adult inpatient psychiatric care to a large extent. Nevertheless, further development of the classification is important.PRACTICE IMPLICATIONSThe study results provide a basis for further developing the NIC and to reinforce its use in inpatient psychiatric settings.
Modelling different reintroduction strategies for the critically endangered Floreana mockingbird
Authors: Bozzuto C. , Hoeck P. E. A. , Bagheri H. C. , Keller L. F. 
Published: September 2016

AbstractOne of the main recommendations of reintroduction biology for prospective projects is that they should be planned with local species knowledge and with species‐specific quantitative modelling, for example, from population viability analysis (PVA). Here, we apply this approach to the planned reintroduction of the critically endangered Floreana mockingbird Mimus trifasciatus in the Galápagos Archipelago. After its extinction on Floreana Island, the Floreana mockingbird today only persists on two small islets, Champion and Gardner. In the context of a wider island restoration project, there are plans to reintroduce M. trifasciatus back to Floreana to establish a population as large and genetically diverse as possible, while minimizing the impact on the two source populations. To aid the planning of this reintroduction effort, we compared six potential reintroduction strategies that differ in three aspects: (1) use of captive breeding, (2) state‐(in)dependent sourcing of birds, (3) time span for translocations. We assessed the strategies’ performance using a multi‐site count‐based PVA and simulations of coancestry as a measure of genetic diversity. In general, PVA and coancestry results were comparable in terms of the strategies’ performance. Strategies with captive breeding resulted in larger population sizes and higher genetic diversity on Floreana after 20 years. However, the advantages of captive breeding disappeared when the population growth rate in captivity or on Floreana was very low. The reintroductions did not negatively impact the source populations’ viability, provided no more than 2 and 16 birds were taken annually from the two source islets. The approach employed here shows how a count‐based PVA in combination with simulations of genetic diversity can help reintroduction planning.
