Sustainability in the hospitality industry: Some personal reflections on corporate challenges and research agendas

The purpose of this commissioned paper is to offer some personal reflections on sustainability within the hospitality industry.  The paper opens by identifying sustainability as a teasing paradox for the hospitality industry and a short discussion of the characteristics of sustainability. It then explores the growing interest in corporate sustainability and offers a review of the range of academic research into sustainability within the hospitality industry literature. More generally, the authors suggest three fundamental sets of issues that currently face the industry, namely, defining sustainability within the industry, materiality and independent external assurance and sustainable consumption and the industry's commitment to continuing economic growth.  In addressing these three sets of issues, the authors make a number of suggestions. First that definitions of sustainability within the hospitality industry can be interpreted as being constructed around business imperatives rather than an ongoing commitment to sustainability. Second that materiality and external assurance are not treated comprehensively within the industry, which undermines the credibility of the sustainability reporting process. Third that the concept of sustainable consumption and any critique of the industry's commitment to economic growth are conspicuous by their absence in the both the research literature on sustainability and in sustainability reporting within the industry.  The paper suggests that the hospitality industry may need to examine how it defines sustainability, to extend its sustainability reporting to embrace materiality and external assurance and to address the issues of sustainable consumption and continuing economic growth if it is to demonstrate a worthwhile and enduring commitment to sustainability.  The paper provides some accessible personal reflections on sustainability within the hospitality industry and, as such, it will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners interested in the hospitality industry and more widely within the business and management community.
Motor competence and health related physical fitness in youth: A systematic review.
Venue: Journal of science and medicine in sport

This study aimed to review the scientific evidence on associations between motor competence (MC) and components of health related physical fitness (HRPF) in children and adolescents.   Systematic search of Academic Search Premier, ERIC, PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus, SportDiscus, and Web of Science databases was undertaken between October 2012 and December 2013. Studies examining associations between MC and HRPF components (body weight status, cardiorespiratory fitness, musculoskeletal fitness and flexibility) in healthy children and adolescents, published between 1990 and 2013, were included. Risk of bias within studies was assessed using CONSORT and STROBE guidelines. The origin, design, sample, measure of MC, measure of the HRPF, main results and statistics of the studies were analyzed and a narrative synthesis was conducted.  Forty four studies matched all criteria; 16 were classified as low risk of bias and 28 as medium risk. There is strong scientific evidence supporting an inverse association between MC and body weight status (27 out of 33 studies) and a positive association between MC and cardiorespiratory fitness (12 out of 12 studies) and musculoskeletal fitness (7 out of 11 studies) The relationship between MC and flexibility was uncertain.  Considering the noted associations between various assessments of MC and with multiple aspects of HRPF, the development of MC in childhood may both directly and indirectly augment HRPF and may serve to enhance the development of long term health outcomes in children and adolescents.
22nd International Symposium on Shiftwork and Working Time: Challenges and solutions for healthy working hours
Venue: Chronobiology international

This decade has brought unprecedented progress in the documentation and understanding of the associations between working time, sleep schedules and circadian rhythms on the one hand and performance, safety and health outcomes on the other. Big epidemiologic studies and large prospective cohort studies strengthen the evidence base regarding these complex associations. Impactful changes in hours of service regulations and work policies across the globe, and fatigue risk management efforts associated with these changes, yield new insights into the neurobiological, logistical, psychosocial, behavioural, legal and financial issues to be considered when evaluating and optimizing work schedules. Basic research discoveries regarding peripheral circadian rhythms, intricate cascades of metabolic processes and critical interactions with the microbiome shed new light on the vulnerability of shift workers to long term adverse health outcomes such as gastrointestinal and cardiovascular disease and increased risk of cancer. In terms of making a difference, these are exciting times for working time research, which has become more multidisciplinary than ever. In June 2015, researchers from all around the world came together in Elsinore, Denmark, for the 22nd International Symposium on Shiftwork and Working Time. The overarching theme was "challenges and solutions for healthy working hours." This special issue of Chronobiology International contains a collection of peer reviewed papers stemming from the meeting, which together reflect the large diversity of disciplines and methods involved. Here, we give a brief overview of the articles that make up the special issue and provide some context for the main findings.
Analysis of the clinical features and prognostic factors of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease

To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)  The clinical data of 62 cases of GERD patients with esomeprazole therapy(GERD group) in the Central Hospital of Chaoyang from February 2012 to December 2015 was analyzed, and 65 cases of chronic superficial gastritis were served as control group.The Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score of two groups were observed.The relationship between RDQ score, HAMD score and HAMA score in patients with GERD was analyzed, and the influence factors of the treatment efficacy were analyzed by Logistic. Results HAMD score, HAMA score of GERD group were (19.8 7.9) points, (15.9 5.6) points, and of control group were (7.9+ 1.2) points, (6.7 1.0) points, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05 HAMD, HAMA and RDQ scores were positively correlated of GERD group(correlation coefficients were 0.401, 0.382, P<0.05) Two months after treatment with esomeprazole, there were 34 cases with markedly effective, 10 cases with effective, 18 cases with invalid, and the remission rate was 71%(44/62) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that non erosive peptic esophagitis(NERD)(OR=2.483, 95%CI: 1.247 4.944, P<0.05) and female(OR=2.421, 95% CI: 1.259 4.657, P<0.01) were the independent predictor of esomeprazole in the treatment.  GERD patients are accompanied by depression and anxiety and other psychological symptoms, the clinical symptoms of some patients with PPI treatment still cannot be alleviated.NERD subtype, female and depression anxiety are the main factors affecting the treatment effect.

"We Went in as Strangers, and Left as Friends" Building Community in the Wahkohtowin Classroom

This paper analyzes interviews with students of an interdisciplinary community based class in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The class "Wahkohtowin" "kinship" in Cree) brought together university students with youth from Oskayak, an Indigenous High School, and members of STR8 UP, a community based organization for former gang members. The course centred on the theme of "justice," and students discussed legal and literary texts related to policing, criminal trials, and prison, and shared their own experiences and stories about justice and injustice. The students described the class as a profound experience of "community," which caused them to reflect critically upon structures that create and reinforce inequality and estrangement and impact quality of life. This paper describes the class within the larger context of community engaged pedagogy and Indigenous approaches to community engagement. We explore major interview themes centred on the complexities of creating community in the classroom. Participants discussed encountering "strangers" telling and witnessing traumatic stories; unsettling privilege; and enacting resistance and solidarity. Ultimately, the Wahkohtowin class intervenes in dominant models of engaged pedagogy and community service learning, disrupting notions of a university community binary, and creating a space where students began to practice solidarity and imagine a quality of life based on equality and justice for all.
The sustainability of Egan's Skilled Helper Model in students' social work practice

This paper investigates the nature of students' learning of the Egan Skilled Helper model in enabling them to develop collaborative communication skills which place service users at the centre of decision making. The paper is a follow up to an earlier paper which found that the Egan model was helpful to students as a communication and problem management tool and that they had transferred their learning into practice. The current study involves seven students from the first study and examines whether their knowledge and skills from learning the model in year one have been sustained two years later during their third year practice placement. A key finding is that participants were continuing to use most stages of the model (with the exception of challenging skills) with service users in a variety of settings. Further findings are that the model is still useful in situations where goals are set by social workers rather than by service users; and that it is the utilisation of role play when learning the model which most embeds skills. The implications of these findings for skills training are discussed together with suggestions for further focus.
Beyond the Melting Pot and Salad Bowl Views of Cultural Diversity: Advancing Cultural Diversity Education of Nutrition Educators.
Venue: Journal of nutrition education and behavior

This article outlines how the melting pot and salad bowl views of cultural diversity have influenced the cultural training of nutrition educators and other health professionals. It explores how these views are changing in reaction to the changing demographics and health disparities seen in the US today and how the cultural training of nutrition educators has not kept up with these changing views. Suggestions for how this cultural education could be modified include placing a greater emphasis on both the cultural self awareness of nutrition educators and the sociopolitical historical factors that influence the cultural orientation of nutrition educators and their clients.
Domain Adaptation for the Classification of Remote Sensing Data: An Overview of Recent Advances
Venue: IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine

The success of the supervised classification of remotely sensed images acquired over large geographical areas or at short time intervals strongly depends on the representativity of the samples used to train the classification algorithm and to define the model. When training samples are collected from an image or a spatial region that is different from the one used for mapping, spectral shifts between the two distributions are likely to make the model fail. Such shifts are generally due to differences in acquisition and atmospheric conditions or to changes in the nature of the object observed. To design classification methods that are robust to data set shifts, recent remote sensing literature has considered solutions based on domain adaptation (DA) approaches. Inspired by machine learning literature, several DA methods have been proposed to solve specific problems in remote sensing data classification. This article provides a critical review of the recent advances in DA approaches for remote sensing and presents an overview of DA methods divided into four categories: 1) invariant feature selection, 2) representation matching, 3) adaptation of classifiers, and 4) selective sampling. We provide an overview of recent methodologies, examples of applications of the considered techniques to real remote sensing images characterized by very high spatial and spectral resolution as well as possible guidelines for the selection of the method to use in real application scenarios.
Deep Learning for Remote Sensing Data: A Technical Tutorial on the State of the Art
Venue: IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine

Deep learning (DL) algorithms, which learn the representative and discriminative features in a hierarchical manner from the data, have recently become a hotspot in the machine learning area and have been introduced into the geoscience and remote sensing (RS) community for RS big data analysis. Considering the low level features (e.g. spectral and texture) as the bottom level, the output feature representation from the top level of the network can be directly fed into a subsequent classifier for pixel based classification. As a matter of fact, by carefully addressing the practical demands in RS applications and designing the input?output levels of the whole network, we have found that DL is actually everywhere in RS data analysis: from the traditional topics of image preprocessing, pixel based classification, and target recognition, to the recent challenging tasks of high level semantic feature extraction and RS scene understanding.In this technical tutorial, a general framework of DL for RS data is provided, and the state of the art DL methods in RS are regarded as special cases of input output data combined with various deep networks and tuning tricks. Although extensive experimental results confirm the excellent performance of the DL based algorithms in RS big data analysis, even more exciting prospects can be expected for DL in RS. Key bottlenecks and potential directions are also indicated in this article, guiding further research into DL for RS data.
REWRITING ROME: TOPOGRAPHY, ETYMOLOGY AND HISTORY IN VARRO DE LINGVA LATINA 5 AND PROPERTIUS ELEGIES 4
Venue: Ramus

sunt..ista, Varro; nam nos in nostra urbe peregrinantis errantisque tamquam hospites tui libri quasi domum reduxerunt, ut possemus aliquando qui et ubi essemus agnoscere.  What you say is true, Varro; for we were wandering and straying about, like foreigners in our own city, and your books, as it were, led us back home, so that we could see at last who and where we were. With its memorable image of the Antiquitates guiding home a Roman populace estranged from Rome, Cicero's compliment to Varro epitomises the Roman tendency to intertwine historical knowledge and the urban landscape. In the profusion of scholarship on Roman topography and memory, this tendency has become something of a topos in its own right. In her seminal monograph Writing Rome, for example, Catharine Edwards proposes that, 'topography, for Romans, perhaps played a greater role than chronology for making sense of the past..places became vehicles for a kind of non sequential history' Straying about like foreigners in their own city, however, Cicero's lost Romans remind us that the city's history was not immanent in its hills and valleys, monuments and marketplaces. On the contrary, like any other, Rome's mnemonic topography was a work in process, constituted in 'the persistent return to history, the systematic unearthing of ruins, the conscientious recovery of traditions, and..the reactivation of an inherited past'
Homeric themes in Propertius

'We have been too early acquainted with the poetical heroes to expect any pleasure from their revival; to show them as they always have been shown, is to disgust by repetition; to give them new qualities or adventures, is to offend by violating received notions. With this quotation from Samuel Johnson Professor Stanford began his masterly account of the Ulysses theme in literature. Johnson was an acute critic, but here he has gone badly astray, misled perhaps by the rationalism of his age and by his own preference for plain talk and common sense. The eighteenth century, however, was not alone in questioning the value of myth. Surprisingly there is a hint of the same attitude in Virgil (Geo. iii.3 8) and even at the height of the Romantic revival the voice of the sceptic could be heard: 'We know too that there are no Dryads in Hyde park nor Naiads in the Regent's canal.'1 Professor Stanford's book demon strated the superficiality of all such views and showed how imagi native writers have always been able to quarry new material out of the legends of the past. I have thought it appropriate, therefore, to a volume in honour of Professor Stanford to turn to this subject once more and to examine the way in which one of the most innovative of Latin poets responded to the tales of Homeric epic. On the face of it Propertius is an unlikely writer to manifest the influence of Homer. He was professedly an Alexandrian, and elegy and epic belong to different worlds of style and feeling. There can be no doubt, however, that he knew the text of Homer intimately. His debts are plain to see and they encompass half the books of the Iliad and more of the Odyssey. He could recall not only the grand scenes but even such trivial details as that Eurypylus was the Homeric king of Cos (iv.5.23) or that the name of the goddess who guarded the cattle of the Sun was Lampetie (iii. 12.29) Indeed the imitation of Homer is sometimes sufficiently close to be of use to the editor and the textual critic. A line of Iliad 21 enabled Wolff to correct the muddled manuscript reading at iii. 1.27, and there are at least three other disputed passages where the Homeric evidence, if not decisive, needs to be weighed carefully.2 As we shall see, the same is true for problems of exegesis. In the sphere of myth the extent of Propertius' debt to Homer is difficult to assess precisely. Since the Iliad and the Odyssey provided
Confirmatory factor analysis of psychotic like experiences in a general population sample
Venue: Psychiatry Research

Psychotic like experiences (PLEs) are sub psychotic expressions of the psychosis continuum. Several studies have suggested multifactorial models, including a bifactor model, of the putative PLEs assessed with the popular Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE) questionnaire. Our confirmatory results in a gender balanced population of adolescents and young adults support a three factor Paranoia Delusions Hallucinations structure of PLEs, which excludes Grandiosity and Common Paranormal Beliefs. The best latent models achieved excellent fit when taking the categorical nature of the responses into consideration.
Smoking: do you really know the risk?
Venue: International journal of adolescent medicine and health

Cigarette smoking prevalence among adults over 18 years of age has decreased to 42.4% since 1965 (1) but currently, it is still at a level that public health agencies are not happy with (1) The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has looked at the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data for 2004 2010 to describe cigarette smoking prevalence among working adults by industry and occupation (1) Researchers found a 19.6% prevalence of age adjusted cigarette smoking prevalence among working adults, with the highest rates among those with less than a high school education (28.4% with no health insurance (28.6% living below the federal poverty level (27.7% and those belonging to the 18 24 year age group (23.8% (1) During the years 2000 2004, cigarette smoking and exposure to tobacco smoke in the US resulted in about 443,000 premature deaths, $97 billion in productivity losses, and $96 billion in health care costs annually (1) Smoking is the most common addiction among adolescents and young adults (2, 3) In almost 90% of adults, it is reported that the first use of tobacco occurred during one's adolescence. Although the use of tobacco has declined over the last decades, it remains one of the major health and social challenges today. In fact, its use is still very common: among high school students, almost one third of females and one half of males report using more than one tobacco product in the last 30 days. In the US alone, almost 400,000 young people become regular smokers every year (2, 3)
Control group feature normalization for multivariate pattern analysis of structural MRI data using the support vector machine
Venue: NeuroImage

Normalization of feature vector values is a common practice in machine learning. Generally, each feature value is standardized to the unit hypercube or by normalizing to zero mean and unit variance. Classification decisions based on support vector machines (SVMs) or by other methods are sensitive to the specific normalization used on the features. In the context of multivariate pattern analysis using neuroimaging data, standardization effectively up and down weights features based on their individual variability. Since the standard approach uses the entire data set to guide the normalization, it utilizes the total variability of these features. This total variation is inevitably dependent on the amount of marginal separation between groups. Thus, such a normalization may attenuate the separability of the data in high dimensional space. In this work we propose an alternate approach that uses an estimate of the control group standard deviation to normalize features before training. We study our proposed approach in the context of group classification using structural MRI data. We show that control based normalization leads to better reproducibility of estimated multivariate disease patterns and improves the classifier performance in many cases.
