We show the relevance of extant international business (IB) research, and more specifically work on international human resources management (IHRM), to address COVID-19 pandemic challenges. Decision-makers in multinational enterprises have undertaken various types of actions to alleviate the impacts of the pandemic. In most cases these actions relate in some way to managing distance and to rethinking boundaries, whether at the macro- or firm-levels. Managing distance and rethinking boundaries have ...

Abstract This chapter explores word-based nominalizations in Early Modern English, a crucial period in the expansion of the English vocabulary. Nine Romance and native suffixes are traced in eighteen registers, thus covering a wide variety of registers along the formal-informal and speech-written continua. Findings demonstrate that there is a strong correlation between informal, speech-related registers and a low frequency of nominalizations, although the communicative purpose of particular registers ...

3D printing technologies define the essence of Additive Manufacturing and make possible the agile production of customized parts from different materials, with lower unit cost and waste generation. Currently, one of the most widespread 3D printer technologies is the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) type, which is the object of this paper. The choice of 3D printing equipment depends on the alignment of the purpose of use and technical knowledge to consider certain requirements. Therefore, this choice ...

Abstract The possible evolutionary trajectories a population can follow is determined by the fitness effects of new mutations. Their relative frequencies are best specified through a distribution of fitness effects (DFE) that spans deleterious, neutral, and beneficial mutations. As such, the DFE is key to several aspects of the evolution of a population, and particularly the rate of adaptive molecular evolution ( α ). Inference of DFE from patterns of polymorphism and divergence has been a longstanding ...

It is still hard to reach a consensus on the concept of creative tourism even if it emerged in 2000, with Richards and Raymond, as a new segment of tourism that can offer tourists the opportunity of co-creating and developing their creative potential. One of its characteristics is that it is quite open and flexible regarding its adaptation to local context. It can be seen as an evolution and as a new approach to cultural tourism which has reached a stage of massification in several world destinations, ...

To keep physically active is key to live a long and healthy life. It is therefore important to invest in research targeting the uptake of physical activity by the ageing population. This paper presents an overview of concluded EU-funded research projects which address the subject of physical activity among older adults. From an initial set of 330 projects, 29 are analyzed in this meta-review that describes the projects, its goals, types of physical activity promoted, and technologies used. Entertainment ...

This chapter discusses the early conceptualisation of employee voice within the human resource management, employment relations and organisational behaviour disciplines. The chapter identifies the significant turning points within the literature and the resultant divergent pathways that these disciplines took with regard to the conceptualisation and study of voice. The discussion then focuses on ways to better integrate the disparate voice literature. Following this, future directions are provided ...

The promotion of digital literacy is a priority for most information societies, as they become highly dependent on digital resources. As one of the core requirements of the workplace, digital literacy is increasingly being incorporated in higher education curricula. This paper aims to depict the level of digital literacy of higher education students, based on their own perceptions. The multiplicity of existing definitions for digital literacy constitutes a difficulty in its assessment. Hence, this ...

Metaphor and metonymy appeal to us because they evoke mental images in unique but still recognisable ways. The potential for figurative thought exists in everyone, and it pervades our everyday social interactions. In particular, advertising offers countless opportunities to explore the way in which people think creatively through metaphor and metonymy. The thorough analysis of a corpus of 210 authentic printed advertisements shows the central role of multimodal metaphor, metonymy, and their patterns ...

In the spring of 1556 the sixteenth-century community of scholars engaged with natural history, one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving sciences of the century, lost one of its most important and beloved members. On May 4th of that year Luca Ghini (ca. 1490–1556), who had been the first physician to teach medicinal simples at the University of Bologna, died, leaving behind a widow and young children (Fig. 7.1). News of his death was not entirely unexpected since Ghini had been ailing for several ...

The class imbalance problem is a key issue that has received much attention. This attention has been mostly focused on two-classes problems. Fewer solutions exist for the multi-classes imbalance problem. From an evaluation point of view, the class imbalance problem is challenging because a non-uniform importance is assigned to the classes. In this paper, we propose a relevance-based evaluation framework that incorporates user preferences by allowing the assignment of differentiated importance values ...

Recent work on narrative-based arguments has insisted on the importance, for assessment, of construing a theory of story “credibility” or “believability”. The main tenet of most approaches is the idea that a credible story should resemble “reality”. However, “narrative realism” is a rather problematic concept. The paper proposes a more nuanced, multi-dimensional and explicitly meta-argumentative approach to the assessment of arguments involving narratives that would not prejudge their argumentative ...

During last decades there has been a trend to build collaboration platforms as enablers for groups of enterprises to jointly provide integrated services and products. As a result, the notion of business ecosystem is getting wider acceptance. However, a critical issue that is still open, despite some efforts in this area, is the identification of adequate performance indicators to measure and motivate sustainable collaboration. This work-in-progress addresses this concern, briefly presenting the ...

Acidic conditions limit crop production on 40 % of the world's soils. These soils are characterized by a pH between 4.5 and 5.5, low phosphorus (P) availability, high contents of aluminum (Al) and manganese (Mn), and low soil basic cations. Edaphic conditions of acidic soils limit plant growth, mainly due to Al3+ phytotoxicity, which reduces water and nutrient acquisition from soils and severely limits root growth of sensitive species. However, the association of symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) ...
