Sustainable warehouse management: a literature review and future research agenda

Purpose Warehouses, essential nodes in the supply chain, significantly contribute to sustainability issues, accounting for about 11% of emissions related to logistics activities. The purpose of this study is to review articles on sustainable warehouse management (SWM) from the Scopus database to analyze trends, synthesize existing knowledge, and identify research gaps for future studies. Design/methodology/approach The review uses text mining of initial relevant documents to create a search string for paper retrieval. Text mining is further used to generate a dendrogram of the most frequently used words in the research papers, which is then analyzed to identify themes and sub-themes in SWM. Findings The dendrogram reveals four major themes and their sub-themes within SWM, including two novel themes: sustainable warehouse in green logistics and sustainable warehouse location. In addition, 12 research recommendations are identified through content analysis and are subsequently linked to specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Research limitations/implications The methodological innovation in keyword selection for searching relevant papers and identifying themes serves as a structured template for researchers to explore further. Practical implications The research recommendations, aligned with the SDGs, aim to assist managers in making informed decisions and operational strategies to enhance factors associated with the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method and the sustainable performance of warehouses. Originality/value This study is novel in its application of text-mining techniques to generate a search string for identifying relevant papers and discerning themes by analyzing the dendrogram.

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: Pattern Identification and Treatment

Sexual harassment in the workplace is a societal norm that generates discomfort, especially among women. This study aims to detect and address patterns of sexual harassment in the workplace from an industrial and organizational psychology perspective. They are analyzing data using a literature review research strategy. The identification results revealed that five identifiable aspects of sexual harassment occurred. The specified process begins with the leader’s roles and then progresses to constructing other cultures, the victim’s emotional labor, and decreasing their performance. Based on this, we argue that sexual harassment can be avoided by enhancing the organization’s and its leaders’ tasks, as well as establishing a neutral institute to take care of workplace sexual harassment accusations. Keywords: pattern of sexual harassment, sexual harassment at work, sexual harassment treatment, gender equality

Sustainable Clothing Practices amongst Maharashtra's Elderly Women: A Cultural Legacy of Resourcefulness and Environmental Respect

Abstract: In the vibrant tapestry of India's cultural heritage, the state of Maharashtra stands as a beacon of sustainable clothing traditions, proudly upheld by its golden-aged women. This research illuminates the timeless and inspiring practices of these women who have seamlessly integrated tradition, sustainability, and environmental consciousness into their way of life. This paper employs qualitative research, including unstructured interviews with senior citizen women from rural Solapur and Nasik districts of Maharashtra. It seeks to document and explore the timeless practices and ingenious techniques these women employ to repurpose and upcycle clothing. To amplify the relevance of these findings, extensive reviews of prior research and existing theories have been conducted. From heirloom Paithani saris to everyday Ilkal saris, the practice of passing down clothing to future generations is customary. Moreover, these women demonstrate a unique penchant for repurposing old garments, often dressing newborns in soft, hand-me-down clothes from older siblings or cousins. One notable practice is the art of crafting vibrant rugs and quilts, known as "Godhadi" in Marathi, by transforming old garments. These women also eschew buying pillows, instead recycling discarded fabrics into hand-stitched cushions. In the face of adversity, the Maharashtra women, particularly those from marginalized communities, have remained resilient, embodying principles of resourcefulness, creativity, and deep respect for the environment. They ingeniously salvaged old Ilkal saris by retaining the undamaged portions and skilfully piecing them together, creating the "Junaari" sari. In Marathi, 'Juni' signifies old, plus 'sari', aptly naming this distinctive creation. This research offers a unique insight into the sustainable clothing practices of Maharashtra's elderly women, showcasing their resourcefulness and respect for the environment. Their practices provide valuable lessons for a world increasingly concerned with sustainable fashion and consumption.

A Study on the Impact of Talent Introduction Policies on Urban Mobility - A Literature Review

China is currently in a period of profound economic transformation, where the role of human resources in regional economic and social development has become increasingly pivotal. As the economy shifts towards a more innovative and knowledge-intensive model, the demand for high-skilled talent has risen sharply. In response to this trend, local governments have implemented various talent introduction policies aimed at attracting and retaining talent to promote high-quality economic development. This paper reveals the relationship between the implementation of talent acquisition policies and the mobility of high-skilled and low-skilled populations through a literature review of research on talent acquisition policies and population mobility. As an important and widely used regional development policy by local governments, the talent introduction policy has created a strong attraction to the mobility of labor, increasing the talent concentration of labor and knowledge overflow. The above conclusions are useful for the government to optimize the talent admission policy and the strategy of strengthening the country with talent.

An Exploration of Mobile Phone Policies and Associated Leadership Implications for School Leaders: A Systematic Review and Document Analysis

ABSTRACT The increasing prevalence of students bringing mobile phones (MPs) to schools has led to increasing pressure on school leaders to implement effective MP policies. Although the effects of MP use have been studied, there has been no systematic review of the MP management research and policies. The aim of this study is to report on challenges and approaches to address the arising implications of MP policies in schools. Using a systematic review of international research and a document analysis of national (Australian) policy documents, this study broadens the understanding of elements contributing to the effectiveness of MP policies at schools.

Policy-based evidence: the schools inspectorate in England, research and school mathematics policy

ABSTRACT Increasingly, debates about school mathematics curriculum and pedagogy refer to evidence. The Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted), the inspection service in England, published a series of research reviews, including one on mathematics. Using features of education review quality, we analyse Ofsted’s departure from scholarly norms, identifying a lack of transparency, weakness of research design and search strategy, and lack of rigour in the selection of evidence. Further, cited research is frequently misinterpreted and unwarranted causal claims made due to overgeneralisation and oversimplification. A specific example of this is the misappropriation of research on problem solving leading to recommendations conflicting with both the National Curriculum in England and the findings of other, more rigorous, research reviews. From this analysis, we argue that the mathematics review is an example of “policy-based evidence” and point to alternative ways that inspection evidence can complement mathematics education research to support evidence-informed policy and practice.

Organisational coaching to improve workplace resilience: a scoping review and agenda for future research

In an increasingly demanding and pressured work environment, employee resilience is acknowledged as a critical element to navigate adversity. There has been increased focus and interest in studying the nature of resilience in the workplace, however the mechanisms of developing and sustaining resilience are still under debate. Coaching is a promising method organisations use to improve employee resilience and provides employees with support to deal with the challenging working environment. There has been significant interest in coaching for resilience in recent years, however there is no overarching, consolidated view on the nature and dynamics of resilience coaching. This scoping review seeks to fill this gap by making three contributions. Firstly, we present details on various types of coaching approaches used to improve resilience. Secondly, we review the specific coaching elements and processes that lead to improved resilience and finally, we provide an overview on the efficacy of resilience coaching interventions. We conclude this scoping review with a roadmap for future research to help position and strengthen organisational coaching as a pillar of resilience development. This scoping review followed a five-stage PRISMA-ScR methodology which entails formulating research questions; identifying studies; choosing studies; extracting and charting data; and summarising the findings.

Cardiac involvement in dermatological disorders: A narrative review

Recent studies have highlighted several pathogenic connections between skin disorders and cardiac manifestations. Dermatologists frequently encounter several genetic or inherited skin conditions that can have significant cardiac implications, including septal defects, cardiomyopathy, and valvular heart disease, which may sometimes be life-threatening. In this review, primary cutaneous disorders having cardiac manifestations are described. A comprehensive narrative review of the literature was conducted by searching articles published through November 2023 in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Original research articles, review articles, case reports, case series and other relevant English-language publications were included. The review identified several congenital diseases, inflammatory conditions, connective tissue disorders, and adverse drug reactions that have both skin and cardiac involvement. Diagnosing these cardiac manifestations in patients with skin conditions is crucial for appropriate management, timely intervention and effective patient counselling.

Societal Attitudes Toward Service Robots: Adore, Abhor, Ignore, or Unsure?

Societal or population-level attitudes are aggregated patterns of different individual attitudes, representing collective general predispositions. As service robots become ubiquitous, understanding attitudes towards them at the population (vs. individual) level enables firms to expand robot services to a broad (vs. niche) market. Targeting population-level attitudes would benefit service firms because: (1) they are more persistent, thus, stronger predictors of behavioral patterns and (2) this approach is less reliant on personal data, whereas individualized services are vulnerable to AI-related privacy risks. As for service theory, ignoring broad unobserved differences in attitudes produces biased conclusions, and our systematic review of previous research highlights a poor understanding of potential heterogeneity in attitudes toward service robots. We present five diverse studies (S1–S5), utilizing multinational and “real world” data (Ntotal = 89,541; years: 2012–2024). Results reveal a stable structure comprising four distinct attitude profiles (S1–S5): positive (“adore”), negative (“abhor”), indifferent (“ignore”), and ambivalent (“unsure”). The psychological need for interacting with service staff, and for autonomy and relatedness in technology use, function as attitude profile antecedents (S2). Importantly, the attitude profiles predict differences in post-interaction discomfort and anxiety (S3), satisfaction ratings and service evaluations (S4), and perceived sociability and uncanniness based on a robot’s humanlikeness (S5).

A Bibliometric Review of Indoor Environment Quality Research and Its Effects on Occupant Productivity (2011–2023)

Over the past decade, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in influencing occupant productivity. Researchers have studied various buildings, including offices, schools, hospitals, and residential settings, to understand the relationship between IEQ and productivity outcomes. Studies have taken a multifactorial approach, considering multiple aspects of IEQ. Evidence from the literature review suggests that the quality of the indoor environment is an essential factor that affects the productivity of building occupants, and it is one of the fundamental issues in the development of societies. This area of research requires the responsible participation of researchers at all levels, as there is significant scope to contribute to knowledge. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the published literature on indoor environmental quality and its impact on building occupant productivity through the scientific literature available from one of the largest and most famous academic databases, Scopus; the study was determined in 2011 to 2023. The search used differential thresholds for IEQ keywords affecting building occupant productivity. Three discrete queries were performed, resulting in approximately 3861 publications. These were filtered by reducing false positives and excluding publications irrelevant to the research topic. The final results were 72 publications. This study also used Excel and VOS viewer to analyse and create graphs and network visualisation maps to show the growth of publications and their types, active countries and institutions for recovered publications, international collaboration, author keywords, active journals, and citation analysis. This study can significantly advance our understanding of building occupant productivity and enhance quality of life and work. Evaluating the research outputs is essential for highlighting contributions to knowledge and global collaboration in this research area. The potential impact of this study is not just theoretical. It can shape the future of our built environments and the lives of those occupying them.

A systematic literature review of risk management research on hydrometeorological hazards-related Natech events

Natech events refer to technological accidents triggered by natural hazards, potentially leading to fires, explosions, and hazardous material (hazmat) releases. Notably, hydrometeorological hazards, exemplified by hurricanes, have led to an escalating frequency of Natech events over recent decades, resulting in significant socio-economic impacts and substantial financial losses. Consequently, Natech has evolved into a critical domain within risk management, garnering heightened scholarly and professional attention. Urgent application of effective strategies for managing and mitigating risks associated with hydrometeorological-related Natech events is crucial, particularly in the context of increasing climate change threats. Thus, A comprehensive review of risk management developments for hydrometeorological Natech events is essential to identify the research gaps and summarize the future direction. Aimed at achieving that purpose, this study was conducted to systematically review literature pertaining to hydrometeorological Natech events, conducting a comprehensive analysis to elucidate research trends, identify current knowledge gaps, and propose future research directions. The findings of this study would support risk managers and multi-stakeholders in developing effective Natech risk reduction strategies and climate change adaptation policies. Meanwhile, this study is expected to promote future research in risk management, causal mechanisms, and preparedness strategies for hydrometeorological Natech events.

Interrogating Hierarchies to Build a Humanitarian Literacy Research Architecture: Multiple Perspectives

This year's conference theme was a collective invitation to face how we, as a literacy research collective, may have played a role in marginalization and disenfranchisement and the further promotion and perpetuation of conceptual and linguistic hierarchies. The conference theme also became an invitation to propose ways to counter these existing hierarchies and how we use research as part of that solution. That was the spirit behind this year's Integrative Research Review Panel. This panel brought together five scholars, encompassing four perspectives, to tackle this year's conference theme of “Interrogating Hierarchies.” The four papers approached the conversation about hierarchies from research on Black writing, English as a global affair, the science of reading, and social design-based experiments, not only outlining the pressing issues but also proposing solutions that our research community can embrace. As we read the four papers comprising this panel, it is worth pointing out how, despite the divergent departure points that each panelist's work represents, the four papers organically lay out a series of agreements about the need to rethink how we conceive English to avoid disenfranchisement, the importance of valuing minoritized and marginalized voices to rethink literacy, and the challenges to align our research with advocacy efforts.
