Employee Involvement in Sustainability Projects in Emergent Markets: Evidence from Turkey

Without a doubt, encouraging the behavior of employees in relation to sustainability is one of the most effective tactics that organizations can use to attain their sustainability goals. It is critical that employees take part in sustainability projects in order for organizations to be successful. In this study, we assumed that organizations supported by responsible employees will be more likely to engage in sustainability-driven projects that affect their long-term viability and the interests of their stakeholders, and that green human resources management will be an encouraging factor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the involvement of employees in sustainability-driven projects within organizations, as well as the potential influence of such involvement on the performance of projects in emerging economies such as Turkey, where individual sensitivity to sustainability is lacking. With this goal in mind, we conducted a qualitative investigation on ten different employees from various corporate enterprises who were authorized to participate in sustainability-driven projects in their workplaces. Our results revealed that in the Turkish business environment, employees have still not reached the required level of maturity regarding sustainability issues in order to be initiators of sustainability projects. This study is the first to investigate the role of employees in sustainability-driven projects within the Turkish market.

B-Doping-Induced Lattice Expansion of Pd Metallene Nanoribbons for Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Pd-based metallene is regarded as an efficient catalyst in the field of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) because of its fantastic physicochemical features. The morphological structure control, lattice strain engineering, and electronic structure modulation of Pd-based metallene are effective tactics to enhance its electrocatalytic performance. In this work, we fabricate atomically thin B-doped Pd metallene nanoribbons (B-Pd MNRs) for efficient alkaline ORR. The atomically thin nanoribbon structure of B-Pd MNRs can expose many surface atoms as catalytically active sites. Moreover, the incorporation of boron effectively induces the lattice expansion and modulates the electronic structure of Pd, which can synergistically weaken the adsorption of intermediate species on B-Pd MNRs. Therefore, the B-Pd MNRs display excellent activity and durability for ORR. This work opens an avenue to the synthesis of atomically thin heteroatom-doped metallene nanoribbons for energy electrocatalytic applications.

Managing herbicide‐resistant waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus [Moq.] J.D. Sauer) seedbanks by integrating several management tactics

AbstractHerbicide‐resistant waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus [Moq.] J.D. Sauer) continues to threaten the productivity of many US crops. Thus, integrating non‐herbicidal tactics with herbicides to reduce weed seedbanks is gaining popularity. A field study was conducted near Logan, IA from fall 2021 to fall 2022 to evaluate the impacts of cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop, herbicides, and harvest weed seed destruction on the waterhemp seedbank inputs. The cereal rye cover crop reduced waterhemp seed production by 90% compared to treatments without the cereal rye cover crop, while herbicides did not significantly affect waterhemp seed production. Furthermore, 96% of waterhemp seeds that entered the combine at harvest were destroyed and seed destruction effectiveness was not affected by cereal rye cover crop, herbicide program, or combine speed. Thus, cover crops and weed seed destruction are effective tactics to minimize waterhemp seedbank inputs. Waterhemp seed retention and combine header losses of waterhemp seeds were evaluated at harvest. Waterhemp seed retention was not affected by the cereal rye cover crop or herbicide programs. Only 30% of waterhemp seeds remained on the plant at harvest; the likely causes of seed shattering were late harvest and windy conditions prior to harvest. Waterhemp seed shattering from the combine header averaged 2.6% and was not affected by cover crop, herbicide program, or combine speed. These results support the inclusion of non‐herbicidal control tactics to reduce herbicide‐resistant waterhemp seedbanks and suggest the need for future research to optimize weed seed destruction.

Social Media Platforms and Political Participation: A Study of Jordanian Youth Engagement

The wide adoption of social media platforms has altered how people communicate, obtain information, and participate in society. Regarding political participation, social media has emerged as a novel venue for people to voice their opinions, connect with others who share their viewpoints, and engage in activism. As a result, knowing the effect of social media on political participation is critical, particularly in developing nations like Jordan. This research investigates the moderating effect of certain factors on the impact of social media on political involvement among Jordanian youth. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach is used to analyze data from a survey of 334 young people. The findings show that social media has a favorable and considerable impact on political participation. Gender was also discovered to have a strong moderating effect on the relationship between social media use and political participation. According to the analysis, gender positively moderates the effect of the frequency of social media use on political participation, while gender negatively moderates the effect of the purpose of social media usage on political participation. The study sheds light on the significance of social media in young people’s political participation in Jordan, emphasizing the need of taking differences in gender into account when developing effective tactics to engage young people in the political processes.

Is it all just melancholic pedagogy? Accelerationism and the future of critical management education

This essay is a personal reflection on the double-bind that we as critical management studies academics feel we face in our pedagogic practice. We want to bring about more ethical and responsible management through teaching our students critiques of the excesses of capitalism, but we are all too aware of capitalism’s extraordinary resilience as a mode of social, political and economic organization. We know how its tendencies readily co-opt even the most ardent criticism into its own ever-mutating paradigm. We thus feel torn between wanting our students to think and act critically, and the fear that critique is simply a part of the process itself. Rather than calling for raising awareness, relationality and the creation of difference, we present an accelerationist provocation. We invite critical management studies educators to struggle with us through upsetting considerations – that perhaps the most effective tactics for resistance might be to encourage and exacerbate capitalism’s excesses. We conclude with a note on melancholy pedagogy and the powers of hopelessness.

A Comprehensive Study of Malaria Awareness among College & University Students in the Jammu Region

Background: Malaria is a highly infectious disease responsible for the significant mortality and is caused by Plasmodium, a protozoan parasite of the genus Plasmodium. Different developed and developing nations have launched various initiatives to prevent diseases and eradicate them from society and for this understanding the disease and its various manifestations is crucial to achieving the goal of prevention and eradication. Aim: As a result, the current study was designed to investigate malaria knowledge or understanding among college/university students in the Jammu region in terms of their attitudes and practices toward malaria and its various dimensions. Method: For the current study, 400 students (undergraduate and graduate) were recruited, with an equal number of males and females in the age range of 18- 23 years. Result: According to the study's findings, young students' general awareness of malaria is below average, and no significant difference in knowledge of the diseases was observed between males and females. As a consequence, it was concluded that health education should be made mandatory in all educational institutions to promote student awareness, which may be enhanced through media such as television, newspapers, and social networks. Conclusion: The current study revealed that effective tactics and new methods are required for people to maintain proper awareness.

Triplet–Triplet Annihilation Enhanced Deep‐Blue Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes by Naphtho[1,2‐d]imidazole‐Isomer Derivatives with Spin–Orbit Coupling

AbstractThe utilization of triplet excitons is of great importance for organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). Triplet–triplet annihilation (TTA) is one of the effective tactics to achieve high efficiency deep‐blue organic electroluminescence emitters by converting two triplet excitons into one singlet exciton. Whereas, in addition to the 25% electrogenerated singlet excitons, the proportion of radiative singlet excitons (RSE) produced by the TTA process is usually only 15%; thus the total radiative excitons are 40%. In this study, ≈35% of RSE is achieved by the TTA process (total 60%) with two deep‐blue emitters based on the isomeric naphthoimidazole (NI) unit and anthracene bridge. As a result, non‐doped OLEDs based on the two NI derivatives as emitting layers achieve maximum external quantum efficiencies of 10.9% and 11.2% with an identical deep‐blue emission peak of 452 nm, which are the best TTA OLEDs with a Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage chromaticity Y coordinate below 0.15. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the TTA process can be improved owing to the efficient spin–orbit interactions, even though the energy levels of the triplet pairs are higher than the calculated second triplet excited states.

“It Would be Funny if it Wasn’t Horrifying”: A Discourse Analysis of the 2019 Conscious Eating Conference Debate on In Vitro Meat

This paper examines a high-profile debate on whether in vitro (or as referred to in the debate, cell-based) meat is good for animals. The debate is structured to present the “pro” and “con” sides to this resolve. This debate and its subsequent analysis herein illuminates tensions within the animal rights movement concerning effective tactics, and highlights main arguments for and against in vitro meat. This paper analyses both sides’ arguments, justifications given, and how both sides engage with each other. The debate is framed in terms of vegan activist tactics. Discourses concerning these tactics are drawn out in terms of how each side views their own reasoning and the other side’s. Evidence for three subsets of differences is presented: (1) a small-scale vs. large-scale perspective (2) variety of activist tactics vs. fundamentalist veganism, and (3) anger vs. naivete. Overall, two drastically differing discourses are found to be reflective of reformist versus a radical orientation towards animal rights and veganism generally. The debate over IVM has somewhat split the vegan community and this paper shows how so and along what lines, and the discourses that have emerged.

Understanding academic transition and self-regulation: a case study of English majors in China

This qualitative study explores how English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) learners (i.e., English majors in China) develop their self-regulated learning (SRL) abilities during their academic transition to university. The reflections and interview responses of four Chinese university EFL majors collected over one year were qualitatively analyzed. The results show that the English major students’ use of SRL was externally driven by their negative experiences with learning during their academic transition. Over the year, the students also continued to harness their self-agency to refine their transition strategies constantly and dynamically by developing clear goals and effective tactics. The study concludes that during their academic transition, the EFL students’ self-regulation processes were complicated rather than linear. The results of this study can aid academically transitioning students in overcoming potential obstacles during their transition to university.

Exploration of Player Behaviours from Broadcast Badminton Videos

AbstractUnderstanding an opposing player's behaviours and weaknesses is often the key to winning a badminton game. This study presents a system to extract game data from broadcast badminton videos, and visualize the extracted data to help coaches and players develop effective tactics. Specifically, we apply state‐of‐the‐art machine learning methods to partition a broadcast video into segments, in which each video segment shows a badminton rally. Next, we detect players' feet in each video frame and transform the player positions into the court coordinate system. Finally, we detect hit frames in each rally, in which the shuttle moves towards the opposite directions. By visualizing the extracted data, our system conveys when and where players hit the shuttle in historical games. Since players tend to smash or drop shuttles under a specific location, we provide users with interactive tools to filter data and focus on the distributions conditioned by player positions. This strategy also reduces visual clutter. Besides, our system plots the shuttle hitting distributions side‐by‐side, enabling visual comparison and analysis of player behaviours under different conditions. The results and the use cases demonstrate the feasibility of our system.

Maintaining product quality consistency when offshoring to emerging markets: The role of subsidiary control

Offshoring can increase firms' exposure to product quality risks, such that manufacturing firms need effective tactics to maintain product quality consistency across offshoring subsidiaries. With an agency theory approach, the present study seeks novel insights into three widely used subsidiary control mechanisms for achieving product quality consistency across offshoring subsidiaries in emerging markets and developed home countries. Through surveys of 150 subsidiaries of multinational corporations in heavy industries operating in China, the paper tests a proposed model using hierarchical linear regression, accounting for endogeneity concerns using the Gaussian copula method. The analysis yielded several findings: An inverted U-shaped relationship exists between decision autonomy and product quality consistency; expatriate staffing positively predicts product quality consistency and attenuates the negative effects of excessive autonomy on product quality consistency; and compared with greenfield entry, mergers and acquisitions negatively predict product quality consistency.
