Published: July 2023

AbstractUnderstanding origin of asymmetric information encoded on chiral nanozymes is important in mediating enantioselective catalysis. Herein, the supramolecular chiral nanozymes constructed from P/M‐polyaniline (P/M‐PANI) nanotwists and metal ions (M2+, M = Cu, Ni, Co, and Zn) are designed through thioglycolic acid (TA) without chiral molecules to show the regulated catalytic efficiency and enantioselectivity. With combination of chiral environment from supramolecular scaffolds and catalytic center from metal ions, the P‐PANI‐TA‐M2+ as nanozymes show preference to 3,4‐dihydroxy‐S‐phenylalanine (S‐DOPA) oxidation while the M‐PANI‐TA‐M2+ show better selectivity to R‐DOPA oxidation. Among them, though the Cu2+ doped supramolecular nanotwists show the highest catalytic efficiency, the Co2+ doped ones with moderate catalytic efficiency can exhibit the best enantioselectivity with select factor as high as 2.07. The molecular dynamic (MD) simulation clarifies the mechanism of enantioselective catalysis caused by the differential kinetics with S/R‐DOPA enantiomers adsorbed on chiral PANI surface and free in solution. This work systematically studies the synergistic effect between the chiral supramolecular nanostructures assembled by achiral species and metal ions as peroxidase‐like catalytic centers to regulate the enantioselectivity, providing deep understanding of the origin of asymmetric catalysis and serving as strong foundation to guide the design of nanozymes with high enantioselectivity.

Published: July 2023

AbstractFree‐standing tin phosphide/phosphate carbon composite nanofiber mats of unique nanostructure have been successfully synthesized by electrospinning and partially reducing the phosphate‐containing precursors. An unusual effect of the Sn:P molar ratio in the precursor solution on the structure and physical‐electrochemical properties of the material is observed. Physical characterizations, including X‐Ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X‐Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), confirm the formation of tin phosphide/phosphate nanoparticles of P‐rich inner SnxP layer and Sn‐rich outer layer uniformly distributed within carbon nanofiber matrix when the Sn:P=1:1. The prepared material is tested as an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries and it retains 1141 mAh g−1 charge capacity after 300 cycles at a current density of 250 mA g−1 with almost 100% Coulombic efficiency at room temperature. Furthermore, it demonstrates six times higher capacity (846 mAh g−1) at 0 °C compared to a commercial graphite anode and stable cyclability at −20 °C and 50 mA g−1. Post‐mortem ex situ XRD and SEM analyses confirm the structural stability of the designed material and the formation of a uniform stable solid electrolyte interphase layer even after 100 cycles at 50 mA g−1.
Stress, motivation, and performance in global software engineering
Authors: Suárez Julio , Vizcaíno Aurora 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe objective of this study is to analyze the current perspective as regards knowledge related to what causes stress or motivates developers, how these two aspects are related to each other, and how this in turn affects their performance in the sphere of Global Software Development and how these can be controlled. This paper presents the results obtained after conducting a systematic mapping study of literature in order to analyze how stress, motivation, and performance affect the project members in Global Software Development teams. We carried out a systematic mapping of published studies dealing with stress, motivation, and performance in global software engineering. A total of 118 papers dealing with this subject were found. The literature analyzed provided a relatively significant quantity of data referring to the impact that the characteristics of distributed software development projects have on the performance and productivity of teams, along with the actions taken to improve that performance. However, when focusing on the analysis of the impact of this type of projects on team members' motivation, and on the actions that can be taken to improve that motivation, we discovered that the number of works decreases considerably and that works referring to the impact of this kind of development on developers' stress were virtually non‐existent, as were those concerning ways in which to improve that stress. We are, therefore, of the opinion that it is necessary to carry out in‐depth research into the aspects of working in distributed teams that may have a negative impact on developers' levels of motivation and stress, along with what could be beneficial in order to improve levels of motivation and decrease levels of stress.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to test predictability of environmental moral reasoning patterns of preservice science teachers (PSTs) by their epistemological beliefs and values. Four environmental moral dilemma scenarios that reflect different environmental moral dilemma situations taking place in four outdoor recreation contexts (i.e., hiking, picnicking, fishing, camping) were used to trigger and examine environmental moral reasoning of PSTs. Centers of moral concerns (i.e., ecocentric, anthropocentric, egocentric) and underlying reasons of environmental moral considerations (e.g., aesthetical concerns, justice issues) were used to investigate PSTs' environmental moral reasoning patterns. Data were collected from 1524 PSTs enrolled in six universities located in Central Anatolia region of Türkiye. A path model was proposed to test relationships of PSTs' epistemological beliefs and values to their environmental moral reasoning for each environmental moral dilemma scenario. Results indicated good‐fit between study data and the path model tested for each environmental moral reasoning scenario. Variances in environmental moral reasoning scores that were explained by the path models had small to medium effect size values of 0.06 to 0.26. Statistical significance and direction of the tested relationships showed changes depending on the moral dilemma scenario context and focus of environmental moral reasoning. Nevertheless, path analyses consistently revealed positively significant relationships between environmental moral reasoning categories and epistemological beliefs in omniscient authority and self‐transcendence and tradition values. Implications for science education policy and practice are discussed.

Published: July 2023

AbstractObjectivesPrior research on olfactory dysfunction in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has focused on patients with polyps and suggests that direct inflammation of the olfactory cleft mucosa plays a contributory role. The purpose of this study was to evaluate gene expression in superior turbinate mucosal specimens, comparing normosmic and dysosmic CRS patients without polyps (CRSsNP).MethodsTissue samples were obtained from the superior turbinates of patients with CRSsNP at the time of endoscopic sinus surgery. Samples subsequently underwent RNA sequencing and functional analysis to investigate biological pathways associated with differentially expressed genes between dysosmic (n = 7) and normosmic (n = 4) patients.ResultsDifferential gene expression analysis comparing dysosmic and normosmic CRSsNP patients showed upregulation of 563 genes and downregulation of 327 genes. Using stringent criteria for multiple comparisons, one upregulated gene (Immediate Early Response 3 [IER3]) had an false discovery rate (FDR) correction adjusted P value considered statistically significant (P < 0.001, fold change 2.69). Reactome functional analysis revealed eight biological pathways significantly different between dysosmic and normosmic patients (P < 0.05, FDR correction) including IL‐4 and IL‐13 signaling, IL‐10 signaling, and rhodopsin‐like receptors.ConclusionsRNA sequencing of the superior turbinates in patients with CRSsNP can provide valuable information regarding biological pathways and genes involved in olfactory dysfunction. This study supports literature suggesting that Type 2 inflammation may play a role in olfactory dysfunction in at least some patients with CRSsNP. This study also prompts questions regarding the role of IL‐10, rhodopsin‐like receptors, and IER3 in the pathogenesis of olfactory dysfunction.

AbstractTraining young water professionals in India and many other countries often focuses primarily on technical skills, leaving them ill‐prepared to deal with complex challenges and changing water management practices of the 21st century. Mentoring programs need to be designed to address the gap in competency development by incorporating transdisciplinary projects and activities, team building, professional networking, and relationship‐building. This will equip young professionals with the necessary leadership and managerial skills. Here, we present a case study of the Young Water Professionals (YWP) training program for participants from India, which developed transdisciplinary thinkers capable of leading positive change in the water industry. The YWP training program involved 20 participants under 35 years of age, paired with mentors from Australia and India who were experienced professionals in the water sector. The Mentor role was diverse and included positioning as an educator, sponsor, advisor, advocating agent, role model, coach, and confidante. This diversity of roles and attributes was necessary to support the mentees in their personal and professional development. The transdisciplinarity of the YWP training approach combined mentoring with technical training, experiential learning through situation understanding and improvement (SUIP), and working with client and project partners is expected to benefit the participants' professional outcomes significantly. The mentoring program aided in facilitating the achievement of career goals and improved the ability of participants to manage workplace challenges providing a clearer path for career progression. There were several learnings for future YWP mentoring, including; a hybrid mentoring mode, making online mentoring more interactive and productive and strengthening lines of communication. Overall, the YWP program reinforced the value of mentoring, especially the role of mentoring in enhancing the skills and capabilities of young water professionals and preparing them for future leadership roles in the water industry.
Uniform anti‐plane stress field within two nonlinear elastic non‐elliptical inhomogeneities
Authors: Wang Xu , Schiavone Peter 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWe investigate the uniformity of anti‐plane stresses inside two interacting p‐Laplacian nonlinear elastic non‐elliptical inhomogeneities embedded in an infinite linear elastic matrix subjected to uniform remote anti‐plane stresses. In our discussion, the two inhomogeneities have a common nonlinear shear modulus. The uniformity of the internal stresses is accomplished through the numerical solution of a single non‐linear equation.
Introducing the Future of Work: Key Trends, Concepts, Technologies and Avenues for Future Research
Authors: Lynn Theo , Rosati Pierangelo , Conway Edel , van der Werff Lisa 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe Future of Work is a projection of how work, working, workers and the workplace will evolve in the years ahead from the perspective of different actors in society, influenced by technological, socio-economic, political and demographic changes. In addition to defining the Future of Work, this chapter discusses some of the main trends, themes and concepts in the Future of Work literature before discussing the different topics covered in the remainder of the book. The chapter concludes with a call for greater inter- and multidisciplinary research, evidence to validate assumptions and hypotheses underlying extant Future of Work research and policy, greater use of futures methodologies and a future of research agenda that is even in its coverage of workspaces, population and employment cohorts, regions, sectors, and organisation types.
Digital Technologies and the Future of Work: An Agent-Centred Ethical Perspective Based on Goods, Norms, and Virtues
Authors: Rocchi Marta , Bernacchio Caleb 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe ethical analysis related to the impact of digital technologies on the future of work needs to be conducted considering the theoretical diversity of ethics. After reviewing prominent existing approaches to ethics (utilitarianism, deontological ethics, virtue ethics), this chapter suggests the need for an agent-centred ethical perspective based on goods, norms, and virtues for the evaluation of ethical issues related to digital technologies and their impact on the future of work. Different examples illustrate the merits of this approach, helping to untangle complex issues concerning the relationship between the nature and scope of digital technologies, regulatory needs within the new social and technological context, and the intentions and attitudes of workers towards their work, their personal flourishing, and their contribution to the good of society.
Assessing the Impact of New Ways of Working on Individual and Organisational Well-Being
Authors: Monks Kathy , Freeney Yseult , Conway Edel 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis chapter uses self-determination theory (SDT) as an organising framework to consider the impact of new ways of working (NWW) on employee well-being. We focus on the universal needs at the centre of SDT, namely autonomy, competence and relatedness, and explore how each has been impacted by NWW and the ramifications for employees’ well-being. Our chapter concludes with a framework encapsulating enablers and inhibitors of employee well-being in the context of NWW.
AI, Data Analytics and the Professions
Authors: Murphy Brid , Feeney Orla 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAdvances in artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics are having a transformative effect on how work is performed. Research suggests that such technologies will wholly displace some professions while fundamentally changing where professionals expend time and effort in their day-to-day roles. The legal and accounting professions in particular are being transformed by AI and data analytics. This chapter discusses the nature of professions, the shift in use of AI and data analytics from process-oriented activities to knowledge-oriented activities, and how the legal and accounting professions are responding.
Higher Education and Skills for the Future(s) of Work
Authors: Davey Shirley , Harney Brian 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis chapter takes a macro-level approach to explore key skills required for the future(s) of work in a digital era. It will explore how the future skills highlighted both impact on, and can be co-created and nurtured through, formal yet flexible higher education. Our focus is purposefully on skills for the future (not of the future) and on futures (plural). A key underpinning to our argument is the need for a narrative that moves away from a technical focus on skill development to a more holistic view of human-centred development. This is discussed with respect to the human aspects of digitalisation in virtual and real dimensions, the slow movement and elevated well-being. In providing an infrastructure which balances reflection and action while locating digital disruption in its socio-economic context, higher education can ultimately provide a platform for greater certainty and progress in an age of digital disruption and uncertainty.
International Migration as a World Issue
Authors: Wihtol de Wenden Catherine 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn the twenty-first century, migration has become a global phenomenon, not only because of the sheer number of people involved in migratory flows throughout the world (284 million international migrants, or 3% of the world population), but above all because of its ubiquity: no region, no country in the world is unaffected by migratory flows, and all countries in the world are involved either in emigration, or in immigration, or as a transit country. Most countries are involved in all three of these processes to some extent.
Immigration Policies
Authors: Wihtol de Wenden Catherine 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAn international migrant is defined as somebody who lives in a different country from that in which they were born, irrespective of their nationality. According to this definition, there are 284 million international migrants in the world (UNDESA Report, 2021), a number which has rapidly grown since the 1990s (120 million). However, there is a far greater number of internal migrants, travelling within national borders, currently standing at 740 million. Whereas “migrants” are defined geographically (mobility across borders for more than 1 year), the “foreigner” is defined legally, as a non-national. There are therefore always more international migrants than there are foreigners, since some migrants are non-nationals in their place of residence, while others have naturalised to become nationals. Irregular migrants are not included in international and internal statistics. International migrants may belong to one of several categories, in a context of blurred categorisations and mixed migration flows. Foreign workers make up the largest group, although in old immigration countries, such as the US and certain European countries, family reunification makes up the largest group. There are increasing numbers of international students, as well as refugees. We can distinguish between voluntary migration (work, family reunification, studies) and forced migration (refugees, environmentally displaced persons), and observe patterns with regard to the gender of migrants (overall, men and women make up 52% and 48% of international migrants respectively), age (senior, economically active, and minor migrants), their degree of qualification (broadly, skilled and unskilled migrants), and their legal or irregular status. However, the increasing globalisation of migration is making it more and more difficult to distinguish between some profiles, especially between voluntary and forced migrants.
Refugees
Authors: Wihtol de Wenden Catherine 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe management of refugees is perhaps the aspect of migration that has been most extensively viewed and approached from an international perspective. After a period when there was no public policy in place related to refugees, during which they were welcomed by churches and other private networks (such as French Protestants during the seventeenth century seeking refuge in Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands), and some individual elites went into exile in response to regime changes and revolutions (such as Chateaubriand, Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, and Victor Hugo, to mention the most well-known exiles from France), the topic became far more pressing on the international scene after the collapse of some of the Great Empires of the nineteenth century: the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. The Nansen passport was created in 1922 in order to avoid a situation of statelessness for Armenians, Russians, and other populations of Eastern Europe, then to assist victims of fascism (the “fuorusciti” in Italy, and Spanish republicans from 1939). The Geneva Convention of 1951, written in the early years of the Cold War, defined refugees in terms of the persecution or fear of persecution of individuals, but definitions of refugees are now a matter of parallel processes of migration diplomacy.

Published: July 2023

AbstractWith recent advancement in software, hardware, and computing technologies, applications of intelligent equipment and robots (IER) are growing in the construction industry. This chapter aims to review key advantages, use cases and barriers of adopting IER in construction and renovation projects. The chapter evaluates the maturity of available IER technologies in the market and discusses the key concerns and barriers for adopting IER such as the unstructured and dynamic nature of construction sites limiting mobility and communication of IER, hazards of human-robot interactions, training and skills required for operating and collaborating with IER, and cybersecurity concerns. Finally, the chapter proposes a framework for implementing IER that helps in their benefits by defining relevant metrics while considering their pitfalls in terms of quality, safety, time, and cost. This framework assists practitioners in decision-making for adopting IER in their construction operation.
