Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising our relationship with cultural heritage, enhancing access to, engagement with and preservation of collections and heritage sites. AI is also being used as a valuable research tool in the context of heritage collections. However, as materials protected by copyright may be used in AI development, training and use, copyright law can become an obstacle to important AI deployments in the heritage sector, an area which is currently understudied from the United Kingdom (UK) perspective. This article explores the intricate interplay between cultural heritage, AI and copyright law, demonstrating the main copyright law and policy challenges facing cultural heritage professionals and researchers in using AI in the UK for heritage research. It highlights the complexity and uncertainties as regards the current Text and Data Mining exception in the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (UK CDPA), emphasising the need for an improved legal framework that balances copyright protection with the benefits of AI for cultural heritage research and management. It also reveals the underrepresentation of the heritage sector in AI regulation and copyright policy discussions in the UK. This exploration underscores the imperative for an inclusive policy dialogue that considers the perspectives and evidence of the cultural heritage sector in its full breadth and diversity (including related researchers) in shaping copyright law reform and AI regulation, and for further research to be carried out in this field.

Over the years, sporadic efforts have been made to create grammars of social action, interaction, and organization. One of the attractions of grammatical representation is its generative capacities. First, we summarize the advantages of generative theories. We then outline a strategy for creating a grammar of organization that avoids the pitfalls of previous attempts. We then create two grammars of organization, one for transfer, and the other for exchange transactions. We discuss the work that institutions do in regulating transactions by relating them to the features of transactions that the grammars reveal. A grammar of organization is a medium for integrating micro and macro organization theory and for developing better and more testable theories of institutions and behavior. We demonstrate the advantages of thinking grammatically about organization theories by applying grammatical thinking to three well-known studies of organization.

Purpose – This paper aims to study followers' proactive personality (PP) as a personal resource in moderating the hindering impact of exploitative leadership (EL) on followers' job strain (JS). Design/methodology/approach – Self-report data on EL, JS and PP were obtained from 113 working students in the USA, and a cross-sectional design was used. The data was analyzed using SPSS 27 through hierarchal multiple regression and the PROCESS macro. Findings – The findings support the buffering role of PP on the hindering impact of EL on JS, such that followers with higher PP tend to buffer the positive relationship between EL and followers' JS. Practical implications – This study recommends practitioners to hire proactive individuals and/or enable existing employees to engage in proactivity in the presence of exploitative leaders to better cope with their self-serving behaviors. Originality/value – Using the conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study is the first to use PP as a personal resource that protects against and mitigates the negative impact of EL.
This study ascertains the conditional indirect effects of core self-evaluation and career planning, particularly regarding early employment status and job search behavior based on the theory of planned behavior. For this purpose, we collected data from 400 respondents using the simple random sampling method. The results reveal that most young graduates have early career success if they possess initiative and a thoughtful disposition and demonstrate rigorous job-seeking behavior. Young people can access early employment opportunities if they adopt a proactive approach toward their careers. Effective career planning with active career searching behavior, supplemented by high levels of core self-evaluation, can increase chances of early career success. Moreover, our findings have practical implications for young people in terms of encouraging them to plan their careers in a more organized and proactive manner.

Riane Eisler challenges us to identify and embrace partnership relationships in every aspect of our lives — personal, social, cultural, environmental, and economic. Her trove of written work and public appearances shape a vision of our greater selves working together to achieve more than the sum of our separate lives. Now, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the reality of overwhelming separation, grief, loss, and social distancing begs the question: Is it truly possible to achieve partnership values? Sometimes, we need to step away from news reports and social media to seek comfort in the stories that make positive differences in our lives. In this article, the author shares a story, more than three decades in the making, of a small group of committed volunteers who tackle a most difficult and disturbing form of oppression — child sexual abuse. An annual camp program, first requested by child survivors themselves, is deeply linked to partnership system ideologies. The Victory Over Child Abuse (VOCA) Camp story actualizes partnership values by firmly wrapping them around a tenacious vision of intentionally safe community. When communities commit to partnership systems, healing and non-violence become the norm, social transformation is possible, and children are safe.

To understand how brand love can be created, this study examines the effect of brand positioning strategies (benefit brand positioning strategy, feature brand positioning strategy and surrogate brand positioning strategy) on brand love, by conceptualizing brand positioning effectiveness as a mediator. The proposed conceptual model was empirically studied with the responses of 607 young consumers from private universities in Pakistan. This study finds evidence of complementary mediation of brand positioning effectiveness between brand positioning strategies, and brand love in the context of high street fashion retail brands. For the brand managers, this study implies that the development of an interpersonal consumer-brand bond can be developed by employing benefit brand positioning strategy, surrogate brand positioning strategy and feature brand positioning strategy. This, as a result, also indicates the effectiveness of all three of these brand positioning strategies.

Although most people want children to thrive, many adults in industrialized nations have forgotten what that means and how to foster thriving. We review the nature and effects of the evolved developmental system for human offspring, a partnership system that fosters every kind of wellbeing. The environment and the type of care received, particularly in early life, shape neurobiological process that give rise to social and moral capacities. A deep view of history sheds light on converging evidence from the fields of neuroscience, developmental psychology, epigenetics, and ethnographic research that depicts how sociomoral capacities are not hardwired but are biosocially constructed. The Evolved Nest is the ecological system of care that potentiates both physical and psychological thriving, the foundations of cooperative and egalitarian societies. Deprivation of the evolved nest thwarts human development, resulting in sub-optimal, species-atypical outcomes of illbeing, high stress reactivity, dysregulation, and limited sociomoral capabilities. Utilizing a wider lens that incorporates humanity’s deep ancestral history, it becomes clear that deprivation of the evolved nest cuts against the development of human nature and humanity’s cultural heritage. Returning to providing the evolved nest to families and communities holds the potential to revise contemporary understandings of wellbeing and human nature. It can expand current metrics of wellness, beyond resilience to optimization.

Denne artikel handler om, hvordan aktionsforskning kan bidrage til professionsudvikling ved at udvikle og forankre faglig viden i praksis i en højt specialiseret offentlig organisation, som iværksætter indsatser og tilbud til borgere med særlige behov. Artiklen er baseret på et etårigt aktionsforskningsprojekt, hvor organisationen ønskede at udvikle reflekteret faglig viden og begreber i relation til organisationens praksisser i et dialogisk baseret udviklingssamarbejde på tværs af professioner i organisationen. Baggrunden var skærpede krav om, at medarbejderne skal forholde sig reflekterende til viden og udvikle ny viden. Organisationen arbejdede på at blive en ’vidensorganisation’, hvor 22 medarbejdere fra forskellige afdelinger og professioner sammen med forskere og interne konsulenter deltog i fire cykliske aktionsforskningsprocesser. Forskningsdesignet byggede på kvalitative metoder, og der er indsamlet, transskriberet og analyseret empiri gennem hele projektet. Projektet viste, at etableringen af et åbent dialogisk og udfordrende refleksivt lærings- og handlerum kan bidrage til organisatorisk læring, hvor deltagerne i fællesskab bliver aktivt involverede i at udvikle viden i relation til egen profession og på tværs af professioner. I forløbet fik deltagerne realiseret en række vidensprojekter i organisationen, ligesom de fik integreret faglige begreber, teorier og nyere forskningsbaseret viden i praksis. Kritisk refleksion førte til professionsudvikling og en diskursiv reorganisering af vidensbegrebet.

One of the most important channels for losing knowledge in organizations is knowledge workers turnover. Knowledge workers are those whose information and knowledge are their work foundation. Knowledge workers turnover can lead to the loss of knowledge and hence losing competitive advantage. Due to extra importance of knowledge for knowledge-based organizations, the need for taking an approach for assessing knowledge loss risk causing by knowledge workers turnover through voluntary turnover and retirement is necessary. In addition, providing suggestions for preventing knowledge workers voluntary turnover can keep organizational knowledge for a long time. This paper presents a framework for knowledge loss risk analysis, after reviewing different knowledge loss risk assessment models. The proposed framework was confirmed after interviewing with 20 academic and business experts. The proposed framework has been examined within a public knowledge-based organization and on 28 knowledge workers. This research utilizes survey for gathering data and descriptive statistics and risk matrix for analyzing results

This study analyzes sectoral integration among the top ten sectors listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE), using a market value-weighted index and daily stock price data for 2001–14. Since the literature shows that domestically diversified portfolios outperform globally diversified ones, the study’s results have implications for the construction of well-diversified domestic portfolios among individual and institutional investors. We find that, apart from automobiles and cement, all other sectors listed on the KSE provide good diversification opportunities. The Granger causality test shows that cement, chemicals and banking cause most other sectors uni-directionally, while oil and gas, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, textiles, and electricity are caused by most other sectors. From a domestic investor’s perspective, the KSE provides reasonable diversification opportunities across different sectors.

The study of the penetration and spread of Persian words in other languages such as English is known as one of the notable issues. Despite its inevitable linguistic as well as cultural and historical significance, its various dimensions have been neglected in etymological studies. The etymological analysis and study of English words borrowed from Persian language represents that a considerable number of such words are related to the names of plants which were borrowed indirectly from Persian in different periods of time and in this process have undergone various changes such as phonetic and semantic ones including expansion, narrowing and change. Therefore, this study, which has been developed based on a comprehensive and systematic study of English words borrowed from Persian, aims at analyzing and describing twenty four words from at least forty words in this category which have been found on the basis of authentic materials and lexicons in the field of etymology. For each entry, some information about the origin, meaning, process of borrowing, intermediate languages, phonetic as well as semantic changes, and so forth have been systematically presented. In addition, to be more familiar with their use in Persian old texts and references, in some cases for some of the entries some data and examples have been provided. In cases that the words had entered other European languages, they are introduced as well.

Recent empirical findings by Sapienza (2004), Micco and Panizza (2006) and Berger et al. (2008) have pointed to the correlation between bank ownership and lending behavior. We formulate and test hypotheses on the role played by the type of bank ownership (Independent and Dependent) and by the functional distance of the bank in influencing the Loss Given Default Rate (LGDR). This paper refers to data on the Italian Banking System. The empirical results are consistent with our hypotheses on the LGDR and control variables relation. We provide evidence that the LGDR is positively related to the distance between the bank headquarters and the borrower’s location. Besides, the resulting data support the idea that Independent Banks present a low LGDR. Finally, our findings indicate that market power and LGDR are negatively related.

In Spite of the importance of marketing concept in public and non-profit organization as well as in private sectors, there is no evidence to show a sufficient attention among Iranian public organization. According to Developed countries researchers, these public organizations receives a number of considerable budget and their performances have so much effects on so many people however, unfortunately most of these organizations are not efficient and effective. As approved in developed countries researches, marketing discipline can help these organizations to deliver their services more and more effective to their customers. Nevertheless there are not sufficient practical approaches to show case the beneficial usage of marketing discipline in Iranian organizations. In this regard, based on a research which defined in a project in Iran Telecom Research Center (ITRC), we try to define an heuristic approach for defining a place strategy as a one the main marketing mixes. These heuristic approach then implemented in a Telecommunication company as a case study. This paper will present this heuristic approach and its implications in a case study, with hope to help other public organizations to more reliance on marketing discipline including place strategy.
