Abstract:

(1RS,3RS,4RS,10SR)-2,2,3,10-Tetrabromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-ethanonaphthalene, C12H10Br4, (I), is the first structure to be reported with four Br atoms bound to a 1,4-ethanonaphthalene framework and also the first which possesses three Br atoms inexopositions. Interactions between the Br atoms [three short intramolecular Br...Br distances of 3.1094 (4), 3.2669 (4) and 3.4415 (5) Å] have little effect on the C—C bond lengths but lead to significant twisting of the cage structure compared with the parent hydrocarbon, which is expected to be fully eclipsed at the two saturated C2H4bridge positions. Chemically related (1SR,4RS)-2,3-dibromo-1,4-ethenonaphthalene, C12H8Br2, (II), obtained by double dehydrobromination of (I), represents the first structure of any halogen-substituted benzobarrelene. Thiscis-dibromide shows little evidence of steric congestion at the double bond [Br...Br = 3.5276 (8) Å] as a consequence of the large C—C—Br angles [average C=C—Br angle = 126.15 (10)°].

Abstract:

There is a growing body of research emphasizing the advantages of teaching students social and emotional (SE) skills in school. Here we examine the economic value of these skills within a benefit-cost analysis (BCA) framework. Our examination has three parts. First, we describe how the current method of BCA must be expanded to adequately evaluate SE skills, and we identify important decisions analysts must make. Second, we review the evidence on the benefits of SE skills, again noting key methodological issues with respect to shadow pricing. Finally, we perform BCA of four selected social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions: 4Rs; Second Step, Life Skills Training; and Responsive Classroom. These analyses illustrate both methodological and empirical challenges in estimating net present values for these interventions. Even with these challenges, we find that the benefits of these interventions substantially outweigh the costs. We highlight promising areas of research for improving the application of BCA to SEL.

Abstract:

There is growing evidence to support the relationship between levels of gender inequality in a society and its potential for conflict. Positive attitudes to gender equality in and through education strengthen social cohesion; consequently, there is a need for gender-transformative education for peacebuilding. Drawing on the 4Rs (representation, redistribution, recognition, and reconciliation) framework in conjunction with the idea of incremental transformation with a focus on resilience, this study examines how eleven ethnic minority high school girls from Sri Lanka understand the transformative role of education in their lives as it relates to peace and gender equality. Education was a source of hope for the participants of this study and thus contributed to their resilience. However, rather than fostering and capitalizing on this resilience to build social cohesion and peace, education and the school systems are silencing them. This silencing is evident in the acceptance and normalization of militarization in their communities, daily experiences of gender-based violence (GBV), and the message, through the formal and informal curriculum, that gender equality has been achieved in Sri Lanka.

Full text

Abstract:

The integrated model remains fit for purpose as a framework for supervision which is under significant pressure in an environment of austerity and heightened demand. It will only realise its potential if the power of integration is understood and the influence of context is sufficiently recognised. Successful implementation relies fundamentally on two things: the capacity of both supervisor and supervisee to engage in a relationship, and the availability of systemic support for both that relationship and what it is designed to do.This viewpoint explains the model, how we use it as trainers and some of the challenges to effective supervision practice we hear being discussed. Social work in the United Kingdom (UK) seems to be grappling with retaining the social when so much focus is on individualised approaches or, as we see them, fragmentary, partial understanding of context. We have summarised this fragmentation as being symbolised by 4Rs, and it remains our view that these elements need to be, and can be, integrated within the supervisory model. In the UK there has been a resurgence in strengths-based approaches, most recently, restorative practice. Arguably, being restorative has always been part of supervisory intention: we think the model supports this quite explicitly. Much emphasis is currently given to the (sometimes misunderstood concept of) resilience of practitioners and we believe the extrinsic elements of this need reiterating. The ability to reflect on the impact practitioners have on others, particularly those using their services, remains key. Finally, the issue of recording needs re-examination.

Abstract:

AbstractThe authors develop a three-stage framework for strategic marketing planning, incorporating multiple artificial intelligence (AI) benefits: mechanical AI for automating repetitive marketing functions and activities, thinking AI for processing data to arrive at decisions, and feeling AI for analyzing interactions and human emotions. This framework lays out the ways that AI can be used for marketing research, strategy (segmentation, targeting, and positioning, STP), and actions. At the marketing research stage, mechanical AI can be used for data collection, thinking AI for market analysis, and feeling AI for customer understanding. At the marketing strategy (STP) stage, mechanical AI can be used for segmentation (segment recognition), thinking AI for targeting (segment recommendation), and feeling AI for positioning (segment resonance). At the marketing action stage, mechanical AI can be used for standardization, thinking AI for personalization, and feeling AI for relationalization. We apply this framework to various areas of marketing, organized by marketing 4Ps/4Cs, to illustrate the strategic use of AI.

Abstract:

Objectives: An expert panel reviewed and summarized the literature related to the evidence for the 4Ms—what matters, medication, mentation, and mobility—in supporting care for older adults. Methods: In 2017, geriatric experts and health system executives collaborated with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) to develop the 4Ms framework. Through a strategic search of the IHI database and recent literature, evidence was compiled in support of the framework’s positive clinical outcomes. Results: Asking what matters from the outset of care planning improved both psychological and physiological health statuses. Using screening protocols such as the Beers’ criteria inhibited overprescribing. Mentation strategies aided in prevention and treatment. Fall risk and physical function assessment with early goals and safe environments allowed for safe mobility. Discussion: Through a framework that reduces cognitive load of providers and improves the reliability of evidence-based care for older adults, all clinicians and healthcare workers can engage in age-friendly care.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to review and comment on the literature on family business paradox against the backdrop of Moores and Barrett’s 4Ls learning framework. This framework outlined the learning paradoxes, priorities and pathways that successful family business CEOs identified and coped with in their learning journeys. A ‘what and how’ theme emerges from our literature review (203 items) where we identify both confirmations and deficiencies in the 4Ls framework – deficiencies that suggest future research opportunities. Research directions are distilled in the form of questions that extend the 4Ls by enhancing the model both within it and by connecting it with adjacent areas.

Abstract:

Abstract The Age-Friendly 4Ms Framework (IHI/Hartford Foundation) was used to redesign an existing undergraduate nursing community experience, teaching students how to evaluate what matters to the individual, medications, mentation, and mobility. As part of the NJ Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (NJGWEP), a 5-year grant supported by DHHS-HRSA, ten senior nursing students joined a team of bilingual social workers, APNs, and a PharmD in an affordable housing urban highrise. This paper will describe the implementation and evaluation of a redesigned clinical experience using the 4Ms framework. Students visited older residents with bilingual social workers, performed health assessments and developed person-centered plans of care. Students presented resident cases during weekly interprofessional conferences to promote team collaboration and planning. Residents who screened positive for dementia were referred to an interprofessional Memory Assessment Program. Medications were reviewed using the Beers criteria, reconciled, and referred to primary care providers if appropriate. Fall risk was assessed and managed using the STEADI toolkit (CDC). Students were evaluated on attainment of geriatric-specific competencies, including medication review, cognition and depression screening, and fall risk assessments, by direct observations and interview. Following the semester-long experience, students completed a retrospective pretest/posttest survey to evaluate achievement of objectives based on the 4Ms. Mean scores for achievement of learning objectives ranged from 4.7-4.9 on a Likert scale of 1-5. Students identified barriers that older diverse individuals face when managing chronic health problems in the community. Students also valued the partnership with the social workers, stating, “We learned from each other.”

Abstract:

Abstract In 2019, 1.2% of the 209,000 licensed physical therapists in the United States had completed sufficient training to be Geriatric Certified Specialists. The dramatic demographic shift in the population will require all physical therapists to have foundational knowledge of evidence-based management of older adults. Our purpose was to pilot the impact of an 8-week curriculum for physical therapy students that integrated key concepts of rehabilitation for older adults with the Age-Friendly Health System’s 4Ms (Mentation, Mobility, Medications, What Matters). The curriculum included guest speakers from medicine, social work, nutrition, pharmacy, community providers (YMCA) and older adults. Every class modeled how to assess the Ms and integrate information into a plan aligned with what matters to the client. Students completed a pre-post survey to evaluate their understanding of the 4Ms, and self-assess confidence in applying concepts to practice. Results supported the value of integrating the 4Ms into the curriculum. Over 89% of respondents reported assessing medications and mentation was very important to patient care compared to 11% and 33% pre-course, and 78% of students reporting they were highly-likely to advocate for the 4Ms as part of their practice. The 4Ms provided a framework that made geriatric care more appealing. Several students commented they had no interest in geriatrics prior to the course, but were more confident in their abilities and more interested in caring for older adults. Findings from this pilot support the value of the 4Ms as a framework for graduate-level allied health programs curriculum development.

PurposeThis paper develops a comprehensive marketing framework that firms could use as a foundation for developing a successful business model that ensures sustainability in BOP markets.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs a qualitative research approach based on semi-structured in-depth interviews with founders or senior managers of Indian firms who have been successfully operating in the Indian BOP market. The data is then systematically coded and categorized with the help of software to get better insights.FindingsThe findings of the paper indicate that although the traditional 4As of marketing are important, they do not explain the success of firms adequately. Based on the findings of the interviews, we propose an 8A model that comprises the original 4As along with adaptability, assistance, action innovation and accelerating scale.Practical implicationsThe proposed 8A framework would be useful for domestic and multi-national firms aiming to make a foray into the Indian BOP market.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the literature on the BOP market by identifying the factors important for succeeding in the BOP market. It builds on the 4A model to propose 8As marketing framework in the context of BOP markets.

Abstract:

In this article, we propose a “6P” unified framework for understanding wisdom and accounts of wisdom: purpose, press, problems, persons, processes, products. We discuss wisdom in terms of these 6Ps, which expand and elaborate upon 4Ps originally suggested for models of creativity. We open the article with a discussion of the importance of wisdom. Then, we consider some past accounts of wisdom. We begin by considering explicit models of wisdom and then implicit models (folk theories) of wisdom, first Western and then non-Western. Next, we elaborate upon the 6P framework. We then consider how existing models differ from one another in terms of the 6P framework. Then, we discuss how the 6P framework elucidates the development of wisdom. Finally, we draw conclusions, in particular, that a complete model of wisdom ultimately would need to specify all of the 6Ps, but it is not clear that any current models do so.

Abstract:

Reflection, reflective thinking and reflexivity have received significant attention in the scholarly literature on higher education yet there is limited research that explores these concepts in relation to international students. This paper consequently explores what reflection and reflective thinking might look and feel like for international students. We theorize the importance of supporting international students in becoming reflexive practitioners in their chosen area of study; particularly in respect to graduate attributes including reflection and employability. The paper attends to this theorization by sharing Rodgers’ (2002) four functions of reflection, a reflective thinking model – the 4Rs – as well as Archer’s (2000, 2012) notion of reflexivity. We explore how higher educators might consider these frameworks comprehensively when working with international students particularly in the area of workplace experience.

Abstract This late-breaker presentation highlights the implementation science plan for Age-Friendly care in CVS Health MinuteClinic’s convenient care clinics. This project, a partnership between MinuteClinic, Case Western Reserve University Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation, increases the number of care providers trained in the provision of Age-Friendly care using the 4Ms Framework: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility. The implementation team learned the MinuteClinic usual processes, then developed strategies for successful Age-Friendly care implementation. Data from 21 nurse practitioner, 5 patient interviews, educator focus groups and 14 site visits revealed time, resources, and perceived value as barriers to implementation. Most reported increased knowledge and willingness to change practice. Based on the Plan-Do-Study-Act change process data, the implementation team developed solutions that addressed gaps leading to the development of practice-based tools for successful Age-Friendly care project adoption and implementation.

Abstract:

In this paper the proposed methodology of FTA-BN (Fault Tree Analysis - Bayesian Networks) approach to risk assessment is outlined and its application is demonstrated using a simple case study of on-time delivery risk. First the potential risk scenarios are identified and represented in term of a fault tree, next, using the fault tree and prior probability, posterior probabilities are estimated and inferred by Bayesian approach. A creation of a best-of-breed work flow, which is based on the standardization of 4Ps framework of development and management processes of die casting die has been established for the solution to mitigate the risk analyzed by Bayesian approach. 4Ps framework covers from the prioritized customer outcomes and die casting die buy-in stage to EV/DV/PV building trial run and die casting mold termination stage with the scalability and flexibility, not only to improve die casting die quality and on-time delivery, but also to mitigate any risk in design and manufacturing process.

Abstract:

Abstract With this summarized document we share the standard for positron emission tomography (PET)/(diagnostic)computed tomography (CT) imaging procedures in cardiovascular diseases that are inflammatory, infective, infiltrative, or associated with dysfunctional innervation (4Is) as recently published in the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. This standard should be applied in clinical practice and integrated in clinical (multicentre) trials for optimal standardization of the procedurals and interpretations. A major focus is put on procedures using [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose ([18F]FDG), but 4Is PET radiopharmaceuticals beyond [18F]FDG are also described in this summarized document. Whilst these novel tracers are currently mainly applied in early clinical trials, some multicentre trials are underway and we foresee in the near future their use in clinical care and inclusion in the clinical guidelines. Diagnosis and management of 4Is related cardiovascular diseases are generally complex and often require a multidisciplinary approach by a team of experts. The new standards described herein should be applied when using PET/CT and PET/magnetic resonance, within a multimodality imaging framework both in clinical practice and in clinical trials for 4Is cardiovascular indications.

Abstract:

Abstract As healthcare providers struggle to reframe aging, framing Age-Friendly care is also occurring. The Arkansas Geriatric Education Collaborative (AGEC) is a HRSA Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program with an objective to improve clinical health outcomes of older adults (OA) in primary care settings. As a member of the 2020 Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Age-Friendly cohort, the AGEC has partnered with ARcare, an AR federally qualified healthcare clinic network, to implement the 4Ms in 4 rural clinics over 3 years. AGEC’s first goal of working with rural primary care clinics is to improve their knowledge of best practices of caring for OA. This was started by providing Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training to clinic staff, obtaining baseline data of common health related indicators for OA and starting regular geriatric focused training. Training on the 4Ms (Matters, Medication, Mentation Mobility) framework was next and completed followed by planning and implementation. The process was well received and results are promising. Year 1 data in one clinic show incremental improvements over baseline data in several areas including assessing Mobility with fall screens which has improved over 50% in one year and annual wellness visits (where all 4Ms are reviewed) have increased 30%. However, several areas of opportunities for improvement have also been noted and turned into quality improvement projects (QI). This includes an opportunity to improve depression screens for the clinic’s Mentation measure, which dropped almost 30% in one year. QI projects are ongoing to improve each of the elements of becoming age-friendly.

Full text

Abstract:

The primary care network (PCN) was implemented as a healthcare delivery model which organises private general practitioners (GPs) into groups and furnished with a certain level of resources for chronic disease management. A secondary qualitative analysis was conducted with data from an earlier study exploring facilitators and barriers GPs enrolled in PCN’s face in chronic disease management. The objective of this study is to map features of PCN to Starfield’s “4Cs” framework. The “4Cs” of primary care—comprehensiveness, first contact access, coordination and continuity—offer high-quality design options for chronic disease management. Interview transcripts of GPs (n = 30) from the original study were purposefully selected. Provision of ancillary services, manpower, a chronic disease registry and extended operating hours of GP practices demonstrated PCN’s empowering features that fulfil the “4Cs”. On the contrary, operational challenges such as the lack of an integrated electronic medical record and disproportionate GP payment structures limit PCNs from maximising the “4Cs”. However, the enabling features mentioned above outweighs the shortfalls in all important aspects of delivering optimal chronic disease care. Therefore, even though PCN is in its early stage of development, it has shown to be well poised to steer GPs towards enhanced chronic disease management.

Abstract:

Abstract Transforming primary care practice to improve the health of older adults is a major focus of the Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP). Using the 4Ms of an Age-Friendly Health System (What Matters, Mentation, Medication, and Mobility) as a framework, presenters will describe their GWEP’s ongoing development, training, and evaluation initiatives aimed at increasing providers’ knowledge and practice skills, and improving older adult’s health outcomes. These initiatives are creating increased professional competencies in geriatric care that will: 1) help older adults maximize their health and wellbeing, and 2) better support caregivers and families. In this symposium, presenters from three GWEPs, Pennsylvania State University, Rush University Medical Center, and Saint Louis University will describe AFHS initiatives with rural and urban primary care partner sites. Educational and programmatic initiatives and strategies that map onto the 4Ms that will be discussed including geriatric assessment, dementia-focused interventions, falls prevention, opioid assessment, and caregiver well-being and support. Outcomes in older adult’s health and functional status will be discussed. Presenters will highlight the importance of building AFHS in primary care and strategies to bridge this framework into the community.

Abstract:

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a beta-CoV that recently emerged as a human pathogen and is the causative agent of the COVID-19 pandemic. A molecular framework of how the virus manipulates host cellular machinery to facilitate infection remains unclear. Here, we focus on SARS-CoV-2 NSP1, which is proposed to be a virulence factor that inhibits protein synthesis by directly binding the human ribosome. We demonstrate biochemically that NSP1 inhibits translation of model human and SARS-CoV-2 messenger RNAs (mRNAs). NSP1 specifically binds to the small (40S) ribosomal subunit, which is required for translation inhibition. Using single-molecule fluorescence assays to monitor NSP1–40S subunit binding in real time, we determine that eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs) allosterically modulate the interaction of NSP1 with ribosomal preinitiation complexes in the absence of mRNA. We further elucidate that NSP1 competes with RNA segments downstream of the start codon to bind the 40S subunit and that the protein is unable to associate rapidly with 80S ribosomes assembled on an mRNA. Collectively, our findings support a model where NSP1 proteins from viruses in at least two subgenera of beta-CoVs associate with the open head conformation of the 40S subunit to inhibit an early step of translation, by preventing accommodation of mRNA within the entry channel.

Abstract:

The Fukushima accident of March 2011 had great political, economic, and social impacts on Japan and marked a very important turning point in Japan’s energy policy. As the accident has also greatly exposed the vulnerability of Japan’s energy security, it is crucial to clarify the path that Japan should take to maintain and secure its energy security in case of any possible future outbreak that may threaten its energy security. For this purpose, we conducted a comprehensive and structural analysis of Japan’s energy security based on APERC’s 4As framework and by using fuzzy logic and the Fuzzy-DEMATEL method to quantitatively understand the performance of Japan’s energy security and how the Fukushima accident had impacted the performance. Our results demonstrate that Japan’s energy security has clearly degraded after experiencing Fukushima accident. In addition, the results of the structural analysis by the Fuzzy-DEMATEL method show that the most salient dimension in the 4As framework for improving Japan’s energy security is the “Availability” dimension, and for this purpose nuclear energy and renewables play very important roles in securing the future energy security in Japan; this is consistent with the current energy policy measures announced in the Strategic Energy Plan of 2014.

Abstract:

This article will argue that, despite customer-centric intent, marketing theory remains trapped in a firm-centric paradigm. How this apparent contradiction has endured is discussed critically with reference to what we see as four influential marketing perspectives. These perspectives are the 4Ps marketing mix, market-based assets, relationship marketing, and customer equity. Apart from the 4Ps mix, these marketing perspectives are seldom recognized as problematic. We argue that the firm-centric approach to value creation embedded in these four influential frameworks overwhelms marketing’s customer-centric intent. We also address the question, ‘can (or indeed should) marketing management be customer-centric?’ Our conclusion is that new directions of inquiry are needed, and we offer suggestions that might allow marketing the means to break free from its enduring, firm-centric paradigmatic trap

Abstract:

Abstract Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) are important safety net providers in disadvantaged communities. As outpatient clinics in these areas, they qualify for specific reimbursement systems under Medicare and Medicaid. Age-friendly health care is an urgent need to be able to provide quality healthcare to more than 46 million Americans age 65 and older, with that number projected to double to more than 98 million by 2060. Friendly healthcare systems require a focus on the 4Ms framework and is focused on improving the health of people at every life stage and in every community across the country. The 4Ms are as follows: 1) What Matters: Aligning care with each older adult’s specific health outcome goals and care preferences; 2) Medications: If medications are necessary, use age-friendly medications that do not interfere with What Matters, Mentation or Mobility; 3) Mentation: Prevent, identify, treat and manage depression, dementia and delirium across settings of care and 4) Mobility: Ensure that older adults move safely every day in order to maintain function and do What Matters. An age-friendly health system is one in which every older adult’s care is guided by these evidence-based practices (the 4Ms), where the care causes no harms, and where the care is consistent with what matters to older adults and their families. In this symposium five Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs at five diverse universities will share their experiences with supporting FQHC in their areas to become age-friendly healthcare systems. The unique lessons learned at these different sites will be shared.

Aprovechando el impacto que la introducción del Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos en Lengua Extranjera (AICLE) está teniendo en toda Europa, el presente artículo plantea un modelo de aplicación para la Educación Física en inglés que, además de mejoras en la adquisición de la lengua extranjera en cuestión, propone un escenario integral de aprendizaje basado en los principios de la pedagogía crítica. A partir del marco de las 4Cs (contenido, comunicación, cultura y cognición) que se proyecta desde la metodología AICLE, el artículo ofrece una reflexión argumentada sobre las posibilidades de introducir un enfoque pedagógico crítico en Educación Física, de manera que se vea incrementado de un modo global su potencial educativo. Inicialmente se justifican y exponen en el texto las posibilidades de integración entre la pedagogía crítica y el modelo AICLE de las 4Cs. Posteriormente, a modo de ejemplo, se presenta una unidad didáctica de judo en inglés que concreta dicho análisis.Abstract. Considering the impact that the introduction of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is having in Europe, this paper presents a model of application for Physical Education in English. This model improves particularly the acquisition of a foreign language and proposes at the same time a comprehensive learning scenario based on the principles of the critical pedagogy. From the 4Cs framework of CLIL methodology ("content", "communication", "culture" and "cognition") the paper offers an in-depth reflection on the possibilities of introducing the critical pedagogy approach to Physical Education, thus increasing its educational potential. First, we argue about the links between critical pedagogy and CLIL. Subsequently, we propose an English didactic unit of judo in order to exemplify the previous analysis.

Abstract:

AbstractThere is a lot of nonsense talked about how to adapt therapy for older people. This is because often authors fail to define the types of populations they are tailoring their therapy for. Such definitions are important with such a diverse patient group, some of whom were “in-service” during the first world war, while others were “doing drugs and dropping out” in the 1960s. To guide our thinking regarding specific adaptations, this paper presents a framework for clarifying therapeutic need. The second section of the paper illustrates ways in which working psychotherapeutically with older patients has helped inform mainstream CBT theory and practice, with particular reference to competence and schema work.

Full text

Abstract:

The Ogu cytoplasm for male sterility and its fertility restorer gene Rfo in canola ( Brassica napus L.) were originally introgressed from radish ( Raphanus sativus L.) and have been widely used for canola hybrid production and breeding. The objective of this study was to determine the physical location of the Rfo locus in the canola genome using fluorescence in situ hybridization and genetic mapping. For physical localization of the Rfo gene, two bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones, G62 and B420, which were closely linked to the Rfo gene, were used as probes to hybridize with the somatic metaphase chromosomes of a canola hybrid variety, PHI-46 (46H02), containing the Rfo fragment. The results showed that both clones were physically located at the end of one large metacentric chromosome. By simultaneous use of two BAC clones and 45S rDNA repeated sequences as the probes, we demonstrated that the large metacentric chromosome probed with the two BAC clones did not carry 45S rDNA repeated sequences. The chromosome was 3.65 ± 0.74 µm in average length (20 cells) and ranked second in size among the chromosomes without 45S rDNAs. The centromere index of the chromosome (20 cells) was calculated as 43.74 ± 4.19. A comparison with previously reported putative karyotypes of B. napus (AACC) and its diploid ancestors Brassica rapa L. (AA) and Brassica oleracea L. (CC) suggests that the chromosome carrying the Rfo fragment might belong to one of three large metacentric chromosomes of the C genome. Genetic mapping has confirmed the localization of the Rfo fragment to the distal region of linkage group N19, which corresponds to the C genome in B. napus. This study has provided the evidence of the location of the Rfo gene on canola chromosomes and established a basic framework for further physical mapping and manipulation of the gene.

Abstract:

There is a growing prevalence in the use of digital media for education management and international partnerships; however, research continues to reflect the position that the absence of social interaction is a major barrier to a positive on-line learning experience. In 2007, a paper described the application of PESTE (Political, Economic, Social, Technical and Environmental) factors from Sociology to the employment of e-learning, leading to the proposal of PESTE factors for educational software, and e-learning in particular. This paper recaps the findings of the 2007 paper, and revisits the application of the now trans-national framework for the employment of e-learning, before applying PESTEL (Political, Economic, Social, Technical, Environmental and Legal) factors to e-learning. It then proceeds to consider the influence of the latest innovations: MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and Flipped Learning. Finally, the future of learning technologies is discussed and conclusions drawn, including the 4Es of Tutoring for Value Added Learning.

Abstract:

Abstract Research into the pedagogies employed by CLIL teachers has been limited to date and, as such, has been identified as a key area in need of further investigation (Pérez-Cañado, 2012; Dalton-Puffer & Smit, 2013). This review uses an elaborated 4Cs Analysis Framework (adapted from Coyle, Hood, & Marsh, 2010; Coyle, 2015a, 2015b) as a basis for analysis of studies of pedagogies implemented by CLIL subject teachers internationally and in Dutch classrooms. This allows us to place the Dutch situation in an international context and to identify avenues for future research and development. The following questions guided the review: (1) What appear to be the most prominent international trends with regard to the implementation of the 4Cs in CLIL subject pedagogies?; and, (2) To what extent do Dutch CLIL subject pedagogies appear to reflect these international trends? Findings about pedagogies reported in the reviewed studies suggest that, in general, studies from the Netherlands stand out compared to international studies in several respects. Specifically, there is evidence of a relatively strong pedagogic focus in the Netherlands on developing students’ intercultural competence. The Dutch studies also stand out, however, for not addressing the role that the L1 can play in CLIL pedagogy. Furthermore, a main finding is that both the Dutch and the international studies reviewed provide little insight into aspects of CLIL pedagogy related to subject-specific culture and into ways in which content and language are integrated.

Abstract The Penn State College of Nursing (including the Center for Geriatric Nursing Excellence [CGNE] and Center for Nursing Research [CNR]) has partnered with the Primary Health Network (PHN) to work collaboratively toward implementing the 4Ms framework of an Age-Friendly Health System at PHN’s primary care sites in Pennsylvania. PHN is the largest FQHC in the state and spans 16 counties in PA and 2 in Ohio. Twenty of PHN’s PA primary care sites are in rural counties, and both rural and urban sites serve older adult populations with major health disparities. Connecting primary care practices with local community resources and programs is an important step in serving rural populations, and we have used the ECHO model to help facilitate connections. This session will focus on how we are using the ECHO model to engage our partners in a collaborative learning environment.

Abstract:

This paper explores equity crowdfunding platforms from a marketing perspective. The present exploratory study attempts to make a double contribution to the current literature on equity crowdfunding. Firstly, it analyzes the marketing strategies of the platforms by focusing on the well-known 4Ps marketing mix framework, i.e. product, price, promotion and placement. Each dimension presents three types of categories. Second, the study investigates the marketing strategies of both large platforms and small platforms, then the differences between these two types of platforms are examined in terms of campaigns&rsquo; outcomes, i.e. funding collected (in %), funding amount (in &euro;) and number of investors. Platforms adopt a standardization strategy for pricing and placement, while a differentiation strategy is mainly adopted for promotion and products. Large platforms offer a wider range of services (in particular ongoing campaign services and post-campaign services) and promotional activities (in particular leverage many communication channels). The analyses disclose significant statistically differences between these two types of platforms. Projects posted on large platforms are more likely to get higher campaigns&rsquo; outcomes. In literature, little is known about marketing strategies in equity crowdfunding platforms, thus this study tries to fill this gap. The paper is the first to analyze the 4Ps of platforms and to conduct a comparative empirical study to determine the differences of campaigns&rsquo; outcomes between large and small platforms. The Italian context represents a significant case of developed country in theme of equity crowdfunding. The results are useful for platform managers, entrepreneurs, investors and authorities.

Abstract:

Abstract The NJGWEP team in partnership with Fair Share Housing/Northgate II (NGII), an affordable housing complex in Camden, NJ, employed an iterative quality improvement process to collaboratively develop a Resident Health Risk Assessment (RHRA) to meet the needs of the housing facility and incorporate the essential elements of the 4Ms framework (Mentation, Medication, Mobility, and What Matters). Using the RHRA, NG II social services staff and Rutgers School of Nursing (RSoN) students were trained to collect health information and administer several evidence-based screening tools (i.e., MiniCog, TUG, PHQ-2). A final element of the RHRA still in development is the documentation process of referral and follow-up based on personalized care plans. Since July 2019, 43 RHRAs have been completed (60% female, mean age 66, age range=43 to 88). Almost all residents (94%) have at least 1 chronic condition (HTN, DM, COPD, CHF), although only 26% have an advance care plan. Most (81%) were screened for future fall risk; function (ADLs/IADLs) was assessed for all (100%). Every resident who was able or did not refuse (88%) was screened for cognitive impairment. Just 7% were taking a high-risk medication (i.e., an opioid or benzodiazepine). The NJGWEP team has initiated an age-friendly community at NGII by providing education on geriatric-focused topics and implementing the 4Ms-focused RHRA to detect issues impacting the resident’s well-being. Establishing a follow-up process to track referrals to available resources will enable NGII to allow residents to age in place with appropriate supports.

Abstract:

PurposeMaternal mortality is an acute problem for many countries around the world, particularly those at the bottom of the pyramid (BoP). Most remote locations in these underdeveloped nations, for instance, in Africa, have to cope with the problem of interrupted electricity supply making healthcare practitioners often experience a helpless compulsion to compromise in providing quality medical attention, especially during childbirth. Along with many public, private and nongovernment initiatives, WE CARE Solar (hereafter WCS) – a social innovation venture comes with an idea of developing portable solar suitcases to respond to this intransigent problem.Design/methodology/approachThis paper introduces a social enterprise that established its operation in Africa and so far has served in more than 30 similarly impoverished economies. Data was collected, analyzed using documentary research method. The authors have also collected and correlated the statements from the founder of WCS to complement the authors’ findings. With this paper, the authors intend to establish the type of innovation tools that are needed to provide value with a social innovation initiative in the health sector in the least developed country perspective. To facilitate better social outcomes and to ensure greater good, innovation requires to be accompanied by stakeholders’ involvement.FindingsThe findings indicate that WE CARE Solar has a positive social contribution toward ensuring safe motherhood and childbirth in underdeveloped countries by providing access to reliable solar power sources. The six-step social innovation process can be adopted by other social ventures to propose innovative solutions to social needs. Analyzing WCS's service delivery from the perspective of the 4As framework and value co-creation model, it is suggested that sustainable social change can be established with value co-creation through community engagement with multiple stakeholders.Research limitations/implicationsThis research was solely focused on one organization alone. Future research could look into the model to ascertain its acceptability in similar social innovation in healthcare initiatives.Originality/valueThis paper attempts to address a gap in social innovation in healthcare and its adaptability using the 4As framework with the value co-creation model. The authors propose this model from the data accumulated throughout the research, which could also serve to assist organizations looking for scalable and sustainable change.

Abstract:

This study proposes that managing the marketing variables of product information, price, promotion and product distribution can mitigate the impact of negative online reviews (NOR). NOR are often inevitable, have a much wider reach, dwell much longer and threaten product sales. It is therefore necessary to understand how the negative impact can be managed more actively. The marketing variables are conceptualised for the e-commerce context. Analysis of objective data on 500 books supports the hypotheses and provides empirical evidence for the relative effectiveness of the variables. In addition to adapting the 4Ps framework of marketing management to the e-commerce context, this study highlights the need and potential to extend theoretical development and research efforts beyond the antecedents and effects of NOR to understand how to manage NOR. The findings have practical relevance for e-commerce businesses. Avenues for future research are also identified.

Abstract:

Abstract Recently, digital marketing mix is developing very interesting new features, because of the market dynamics, IT fast development, and globalization phenomena. The old paradigm still base on 4Ps model (product, price, promotion, and place). This research develops a theoretical framework specifically for marketing mix. Starting from a literature review regarding the 4 Ps in marketing and studying the new generation (Z) features, it can be drawn new directions on digital marketing mix, such us people, process, perseverance (other 3P). In the same time the environmental changes urge us to develop and implement new strategies in marketing as to get sustainable eco-innovation. Thus the green marketing (1G) is an important factor in the marketing mix, in raising the awareness on new politics and good practices for protecting the environment. The article brings a new paradigm for marketing mix: 7P+1G, and validate the model by unit root test. A forecast, regarding green marketing, is made with the What-If analysis.
