Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to estimate the green premium effect of retrofitted apartments in Bucharest and draw comparisons with international examples.

Design/methodology/approach

A geo-referenced transaction database including information on whether the property had been retrofitted is utilised. The paper uses two approaches to test the green premium. One is a hedonic model controlled by areas to estimate the price incentive of a green building. The second is a STAR GLS model evaluating the diffusion effect of house prices spatially by sub-market and assessment upon the pricing effect of green characteristics.

Findings

The authors’ findings suggest a green premium in two Bucharest areas of between 2.2 per cent and 6.5 per cent. Spatial diffusion effects are shown to contribute positively to house prices, but the unobserved spatial component reduces this effect.

Originality/value

This paper is the first to assess price impacts of green characteristics in Bucharest and one of the first analysing green premium using spatial techniques. The analysis is of significance to policymakers and real estate developers.

Abstract

Examines the tenth published year of the ITCRR. Runs the whole gamut of textile innovation, research and testing, some of which investigates hitherto untouched aspects. Subjects discussed include cotton fabric processing, asbestos substitutes, textile adjuncts to cardiovascular surgery, wet textile processes, hand evaluation, nanotechnology, thermoplastic composites, robotic ironing, protective clothing (agricultural and industrial), ecological aspects of fibre properties – to name but a few! There would appear to be no limit to the future potential for textile applications.

Abstract

The notion of mental health service user involvement in curriculum design and delivery has become commonplace over recent years. However, concern has been expressed that the rhetoric has not matched the reality. In particular, service user involvement has tended towards either tokenism or over‐sensitivity to the point of near inertia. By contrast, this paper describes a project that took a pragmatic approach and was designed to make involvement in curriculum planning, design and delivery meaningful and worthwhile for service users, students and educators alike. The paper has two principal objectives. In the first instance, it outlines the strategy for involvement that was used to inform curriculum design and delivery at the University of Abertay Dundee. This was grounded in the academic literature. Second, it provides an evaluation of this strategy based on practical experience and identifies some of the difficulties that must be overcome to work in a collaborative manner. In so doing, it examines some of the common concerns of educational staff, service users and students in relation to service user involvement. In conclusion, we provide recommendations for educators seeking to involve mental health service users in a meaningful manner in both the design of training programmes for mental health workers, and in their delivery.

Abstract

Purpose

The current study has a two-fold purpose. Firstly, it aims to analyze the extent to which knowledge management (KM) affects the performance of individuals (task and contextual) on the one hand and that of organizations (product or service, perceived and financial) on the other hand. Secondly, it proposes to investigate the mediating effect of motivation and innovation in the relationship between KM and individual and organizational performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed in this study, with mediation analysis performed using advanced PLS-SEM techniques. A total of 1,284 respondents from organizations in both the public and private sectors were included in the sample.

Findings

The findings emphasize that KM has a more significant direct effect on individual performance compared to organizational performance. Concurrently, in terms of indirect influence, it is found that KM, through motivation and innovation, has a positive and significant effect on both individual and organizational performances, with a higher influence on the organizational one.

Originality/value

The originality of the work can be noted in designing two different structural models to represent the proposed relationships at the individual and organizational levels. These findings could provide organizational decision makers with empirical evidence, helping them (1) internalize the significance of the KM process in organizations as well as its subsequent effects on individual and organizational performance and (2) identify factors that mediate variable relationships.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for assessing the structural integrity of a tie member from a bucket-wheel excavator, ESRC 470 model, which was in operation for about 20 years. The tie member is made of S355J2N structural steel. Following the period of operation, the occurrence of microcracks which can propagate by fatigue is almost inevitable. It is therefore necessary to analyze the structural integrity and the remaining life of the component analyzed.

Design/methodology/approach

In principle, the assessment methodology is based on three steps: first, the evaluation of mechanical properties of the material component; second, a BEM analysis using FRANC 3D software package to estimate the evolution of the stress intensity factor based on crack length and applied stress; third, risk factor estimation and remaining fatigue life predictions based on failure assessment diagram and fatigue damage tolerance concept.

Findings

Following the evaluation procedure were made predictions of failure risk factor and remaining fatigue life function of crack length and variable stress range, for a high level of confidence.

Originality/value

As results of this analysis was implemented a program for verification and inspection of the tie member for the loading state and development of small cracks during operation.

Abstract

The first question which can be raised is: “What is the New Research Programme?”, using Lakatos's language which is the same as “What is the New Paradigm?”, using Kuhn's terminology. The answer is simple but with far reaching consequences. It is a sui generis synthesis of two previous revolutions in economic and social thinking respectively, the classical and modern economics and social science.

Abstract

The first Principia Mathematica (1686) by Sir Isaac Newton with reference to natural philosophy and his system of the world has largely contributed to the first revolution in scientific thinking in modern times. It has created the conceptual basis of modern science in the classical tradition by providing the tools of analysis and the technique of reasoning in terms of stability—from—within or, as we would say today, the model of stable equilibrium conditions.

Abstract

Presents the first chapter in this work with regard to the search for new ideas and better interpretations in the growth and development of new ideas. Investigates the exchange of views between thinkers of different points of view. Invites co‐operation between various factions to investigate unification of all known sciences (natural and economic) and to include the arts. Mentions all the great thinkers in these areas and unreservedly discusses their contribution in the school of thought. Proffers that modern technology cannot and should not be slowed down and that for the social economy of human solidarity should be aimed for, to begin a new era for humanity.

Abstract

Why do we need a third revolution in economics? As a starting point it must be noticed that every school has its own methodology and ideology. Its characteristic is to deal with one single problem which, right or wrong, is considered fundamental. Sometimes the importance of a school lies in the problem raised rather than in the answers given to such a problem.
