Evaluating the relationship between knowledge management and green innovation: a systematic literature review

Purpose Managing knowledge is relevant for the innovativeness of an organization. The innovation of the organization currently aligns with the environment and applies green innovation concepts. Knowledge management (KM) is a key to fostering green innovation and to saving the environment from unnecessary pollution. In line with this, this study aims to evaluate the relationship between KM and green innovation in the literature from 2000 to 2023 synthesize and suggest future directions. Design/methodology/approach This study used the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis technique to identify eligible articles. The papers were identified from the Web of Science core collection and ScienceDirect databases. The results were presented using tables, graphs and the co-occurrence of citations was analyzed using VOSviewer software. Findings From the review, the authors were assured that there is a strong relationship between KM practices and green innovation in different organizations. Some papers were supported by different theories. From the total of 48 papers, 16 have not mentioned the theories applied in their studies. The geographical distribution of the papers is asymmetrical. Asian and European scholars published more papers. The papers distribution across publishers also varies. For instance, Elsevier and Emerald Group Publishing Ltd. published 29 papers and the remaining papers were published in BMC, Springer, Frontiers Media Sa, IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc., MDPI, Routledge Journals and Taylor & Francis Ltd. Major themes were identified and future research directions were forwarded. Research limitations/implications The limitation of this review is the authors generated the papers from two databases (WoS and ScienceDirect). This paper does not consider other databases (Scopus, dimensions, etc.) papers. This can be considered as a limitation of this review. Originality/value The review is original by integrating PARISMA and bibliometric analysis method (VOS Viewer). The paper tried to explore the role of KM on green innovation.

Literature Review on Auditor Independence

This study aims to provide an overview of the development of auditor independence research. Data were taken from articles published in Scopus indexed international journals from American Accounting Association publishers, Emerald, Wiley, Elsevier, Routledge, Academic Press Inc, and Taylor and Francis Ltd. Samples were taken from 2002 to 2022 as many as 27 auditor independence articles. The method of analysis is through classifying articles based on the research method used, the name of the journal, the year of publication, and the country of origin of the first author. In general, the results of the study found that research on auditor independence has increased from year to year and is still an interesting research topic to study.

Dear Alexander (A Fictional Missive)

In between sessions, (I'm a psychotherapist), I took luxurious virtual strolls through New York City's salon web sites. Dear Alexander, You don't know me, but I am writing to ask you to be my very first contact outside my pod once the pandemic lifts. I packed three things when I temporarily left NYC - a thermometer, bottles of hand sanitizer (how I was able to procure those is a story for another day) and ... my hair cutting shears.

Foreword to the 60th Sanibel Proceedings

Sanibel has supplied the forum for presenting, discussing, educating, criticising, and inspiring the development of the electronic structure and dynamics of atoms, molecules, and solids since 1961. Later, major developments presented at Sanibel included the density matrix renormalisation group approach (DMRG) and the introduction of explicit R12 and F12 interaction terms to correct for the failure of basis sets to better describe the critical correlation cusp in WFT calculations. These were the first hints that non-variational, linked diagram methods that guaranteed size-extensivity would eventually largely displace variational methods like CI in treating the correlation problem in WFT.

Surfactant Protein D Interacts with α2-Macroglobulin and Increases Its Innate Immune Potential

Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is an innate immune collectin that recognizes microbes via its carbohydrate recognition domains, agglutinates bacteria, and forms immune complexes. During microbial infections, proteases, such as elastases, cleave the carbohydrate recognition domains and can inactivate the innate immune functions of SP-D. Host responses to counterbalance the reduction of SP-D-mediated innate immune response under these conditions are not clearly understood. We have unexpectedly identified that SP-D could interact with protein fractions containing ovomucin and ovomacroglobulin. Here, we show that SP-D interacts with human alpha(2)-macroglobulin (A2M), a protease inhibitor present in the lungs and serum. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, surface plasmon resonance, and carbohydrate competition assays, we show that SP-D interacts with A2M both in solid phase (K(D) of 7.33 nM) and in solution via lectin-carbohydrate interactions under physiological calcium conditions. Bacterial agglutination assays further show that SP-D x A2M complexes increase the ability of SP-D to agglutinate bacteria. Western blot analyses show that SP-D, but not A2M, avidly binds bacteria. Interestingly, intact and activated A2M also protect SP-D against elastase-mediated degradation, and the cleaved A2M still interacts with SP-D and is able to enhance its agglutination abilities. We also found that SP-D and A2M can interact with each other in the airway-lining fluid. Therefore, we propose that SP-D utilizes a novel mechanism in which the collectin interacts with protease inhibitor A2M to decrease its degradation and to concurrently increase its innate immune function. These interactions particularly enhance bacterial agglutination and immune complex formation.

INTRODUCTION

Taylor and Francis Ltd CUS_A_160692.sgm 10.1080/00220270600607090 Journal of Curri ulum Studies 0 22-0272 (p i t)/136 -5839 (online) Original Article 2 06 & Francis 0002 6 Professor TomasEn lund t mas.englund@pi.or .se The German social philosopher Jurgen Habermas has had an enormous impact on the ways in which scholars examine a range of societal issues. His early works on the public sphere and on knowledge and human interests are in the critical tradition of the Frankfurt school, but later he took a linguistic and pragmatic turn. His two-volume masterpiece on The Theory of Communicative Action (Habermas 1984, 1987a) and his The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity (Habermas 1987b), and his Moral Consciousness and Communicative Action (Habermas 1990) have created what might be called the preconditions for a paradigm shift on rationality. Moving from a philosophy of consciousness towards a philosophy of language and communication and the theories of procedural communicative rationality, and later to discourse theory and deliberative democracy, he has positioned himself as a defender of modernity—but a modernity of a certain kind. Habermas’ position implies a critical view of the characteristics of classical modernity with its technological rationality and colonization of the life-world. Habermas’ position also implies a critical stance on post-modern refutations of all kinds of rationality as expressions of power. Habermas contends that the project of modernity can be seen as unfinished, and that, through communicative action, an on-going normative rationalization is possible. The theory of communicative action that he develops is, thus, a theory of social integration. His sources of inspiration include the inter-subjectivist theoretical framework elaborated by the classic US pragmatist George Herbert Mead (Heath 2001), speech-act theory, further developed by Habermas into a universal pragmatics, Durkheim’s theory on social order, further elaborated into Habermas’ theory on normative validity, and so on. In some of his later works, in, for example, Between Facts and Norms (Habermas 1996) and Truth and Justification (Habermas 2003), he has further developed his discourse ethics into the idea of a self-regulating community of law based on free and equal citizens, and returned to the implications of

Commentary on the alcohol harm reduction strategy for England for drugs: education, prevention and policy

The major UK producers of alcoholic drinks woke up to their social responsibilities when they established The Portman Group (TPG) in 1989. Now widely seen as a model for how an industry should set and maintain the highest standards of social responsibility, TPG’s success lies in the way it combines the role of industry regulator of marketing and promotion of alcoholic drinks with a forthright and proactive role in educating the public about responsible drinking. TPG is extremely effective in getting the industry to raise its game at the same time as running innovative campaigns which break the mould of the kind of traditional health education that can switch people off rather than engage their attention. TPG welcomes the long-overdue Alcohol Harm Reduction Strategy for England. We believe that it provides a good policy framework for tackling alcohol misuse and see it as an important opportunity for the industry to make a positive contribution towards helping to combat binge drinking and reduce the serious and growing problems associated with alcohol misuse in this country. Although some commentators have criticized the Strategy for being short on detail, we understand that many of the proposals are deliberately in outline at this stage because the Government rightly wishes to involve key stakeholders in negotiating the detail. We are pleased at the commitment in principle to ‘‘start the process of change in the culture of drinking to get drunk’’. For the past three years TPG has been the only organisation campaigning nationally against drunkenness. In light of the Strategy’s emphasis on working in partnership to target binge drinking, we now look forward to discussing with Government ways in which we can expand our campaigning work with their help. None of us should be under the illusion, however, that change will happen overnight. If the Government is serious about changing attitudes and behaviour – and let’s not forget what has been achieved with drink-driving and wearing seat belts – it needs to commit serious resources over a considerable period of time. TPG is delighted to see reflected in the Strategy its recommendation that education providers should include a compulsory element of the curriculum dealing with alcohol use and misuse for student doctors, nurses, midwives and health visitors. However, we would like to have seen a higher profile given to increasing the profile of alcohol within drugs education in schools.

"It Made Me Feel Like a Pharmacist, Not Just a Science Student": Pharmacy Undergraduates' Attitudes Towards Extemporaneous Dispensing Practical Classes

Community and hospital pharmacists rarely make medicines, and current health policy requires that pharmacists become increasingly patient-centred. Consequently, university courses in extemporaneous preparation of medicines may seem at best anachronistic and at worst an expensive irrelevance. To address these issues the teaching of extemporaneous preparation at the School of Pharmacy, University of London was revised, to include the active input into the teaching of pharmacy practice and pharmaceutics teaching staff. This study describes findings from a questionnaire distributed to students in 1998 after the first year of the course, and again in 2003 following minor modifications. From its inception the course was well received by students, whose views as paying consumers of educational services have become increasingly important. There has been a general improvement in the approval rating over the five year period, in spite of a 28% increase in student numbers over the same time period. Most students perceived the skills taught in the classes were of direct relevance to a future career in pharmacy. The medicines-centred nature of the revised course has proved a useful means of introducing students to concepts of formulation science, therapeutics and dispensing together with transferable skills, such as accurate working. Through this course the unique skills of pharmacists in relation to medicines are nurtured, whilst for both teaching staff and students, clear links are forged between pharmaceutical science and practice. © 2004 Taylor & Francis Ltd.

Estimating time-varying risk premia in UK long-term government bonds

Simple models of time-varying risk premia are used to measure the risk premia in long-term UK government bonds. The parameters of the models can be estimated using nonlinear seemingly unrelated regression (NL-SUR), which permits efficient use of information across the entire yield curve and facilitates the testing of various cross-sectional restrictions. The estimated time-varying premia are found to be substantially different to those estimated using models that assume constant risk premia. © 2004 Taylor and Francis Ltd.

7‘Like Cows Driven to a Dip’: The 2001 Ellis Park Stadium Disaster in South Africa1

Taylor and Francis Ltd fs s5207.sgm 10.1080/1466097042000235236 Socce Society 466970 (p int)/1743-9590 (online) Original Article 2 04 & Francis Ltd 50 00 Summer 2 04 PeterAlegi 21 Lancaste AvenueRichmondKY 40475USA al gi@y ho . om On Wednesday 11 April 2001, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates took the field at Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, for a derby with the league championship at stake. As the 8 p.m. kick-off time approached, the 62,000-seat stadium was bursting at the seams with more than 80,000 fans squeezed into every seat, aisle, and access way. Outside the arena, thousands of fans pressed to get inside to watch the country’s two most popular clubs. A portion of this massive crowd in the north-eastern corner of Ellis Park surged forward. A suffocating crush ensued. Veli Mpungose, his nine-year-old daughter Londiwe and 13-year-old son Siphiwe were trapped at the top of a steep stairway. ‘I felt something push us away. We were scared. We thought the stadium had collapsed’, Mpungose said. ‘I was trying to rescue Londiwe and when I reached for Siphiwe, there were ... big guys lying on top of him. I felt his pulse and I couldn’t feel anything. He was dead already.’ Media images captured the heartbreaking scene of Mpungose and Londiwe kneeling in tearful prayer over Siphiwe’s limp, lifeless body on the pitch. In the end, 43 people died and 158 were injured in South Africa’s worst-ever sport disaster. Drawing on interviews, government documents, newspapers, video footage and a visit to Ellis Park in August 2003, this study analyses the causes, consequences and legacy of the tragedy. This analysis of the disaster reveals that conditions beyond the control of fans were primarily to blame for transforming Ellis Park into a landscape of death and destruction. These included fundamental organizational flaws, contempt for spectator safety, and incompetence and dereliction of duty on the part of security personnel. Under South African Football Association guidelines for high-risk matches, responsibility for spectator safety lay with the home side, Kaizer Chiefs, the Premier Soccer League (PSL), and, to a lesser extent, Ellis Park stadium management. A critical examination of the governmental commission of inquiry into the tragedy notes the limitations of the investigative process and questions the official interpretation of the events. While South African football’s main powerbrokers emerged unscathed

In-situ Stress Determination in Thermally-grown Iron Oxide Scales using X-Ray Diffraction of Synchrotron Radiation

The development of residual stress in the iron-oxide layers growing on phosphated α-Fe in the temperature range 375-450°C was investigated by in-situ X-ray diffraction of synchrotron radiation during oxide growth. As such, the stress state in the oxide layer for very short oxidation times which corresponds to low thickness of the oxide layer (≤1 µm) has been determined. The microstructural state of the oxide layers is first presented. Then a detailed study of the residual strains in the oxide layers is undertaken. Correlations between the residual stress measurements and the evolution of the microstructural state leads to a better understanding of the oxidation behaviour of phosphated α-Fe. © 2004 Taylor & Francis Ltd.

Competition between Stress Generation and Relaxation in Iron Oxide Films. Experiments and Modelling

In the present work, the calculated growth stresses arising from iron oxide layers are compared to measurements of the macroscopic residual stresses. High temperature x-ray diffraction was used for determining the stress created in thin iron oxide layers formed on phosphated α-Fe, as a function of the oxidation time. Experiments are conducted both in situ during oxidation and after cooling, allowing us to derive respectively, growth and thermal stresses. A numerical model was developed to calculate the growth stress and the relaxation phenomena occurring during isothermal oxidation. This model takes into account the mechanical behaviour of both the substrate and the oxide, and parameters such as oxide growth kinetics, substrate thickness, etc. The elasto-viscoplastic model correlates the experimental results with the various parameters of the study. © 2004 Taylor & Francis Ltd.

Objectivity and the Other Orwell: The tabloidism of the Daily Mirror and journalistic authenticity

The emergence in the UK of ‘the new tabloid journalism’ in the form of the ‘re-born’ Daily Mirror between late 1934 and 1936 was challenging to the simultaneously nascent journalistic norm of objectivity. The Mirror was not the only national newspaper in the UK in the 1930s to articulate the commercial appeal of a burgeoning professionalism in journalism with the traditional open partisanship of the daily press—to demand of its reporters and correspondents what it expected of its leader writers. However, the Mirror’s ‘formula for tabloid journalism was uniquely simple—bread and circuses’. George Orwell was caught in this warp of facticity—‘a professional and public duty’ to ‘non-biased reporting’—and the weft of having ‘some political or social cause to argue for’.Not surprisingly, then, Orwell denigrated ‘cheap journalism’ which he characterized as ‘made-to-order stuff which I produced quickly, easily and without much pleasure to myself’. © 2003 Taylor & Francis Ltd

Selected Gelling Agents in Canned Dog Food Affect Nutrient Digestibilities and Fecal Characteristics of Ileal Cannulated Dogs

Little is known about the effects of gelling agents in canned dog food on nutrient digestibilities and fecal characteristics. Dogs were fed canned diets with either no gelling agent (control) or one of three gelling agents, wheat starch, a guar gum/carrageenan mixture (50:50), and a locust bean meal (LBM)/carrageenan mixture (50:50) incorporated at two levels (0.2 and 0.5% of the diet on a wet weight basis). Six dogs were fed each diet in a 6 × 7 Youden square design. Dogs fed diets containing gelling agents had higher ileal digestibilities of OM (P = 0.05), fat (P < 0.01), GE (P = 0.02), and total amino acids (P = 0.04) and lower (P < 0.01) total tract DM digestibilities when compared to dogs fed the control diet. Fecal output by dogs fed the control diet, expressed on both an as-is (73.4 g/d) and DM (45.6 g/d) basis, was lower (P < 0.01) than for dogs fed gelling agent-containing diets (mean 102.3 g/d as-is and 57.6 g/d DM). Dogs fed the control diet also had lower (P < 0.01) fecal DM percentages and higher (P = 0.02) fecal scores than dogs fed gelling agent-containing diets. © 2002 Taylor & Francis Ltd.
