Psalm 118

This chapter sets Hilary in his contemporary context, firstly presenting his life and then examining the currents of thought of his time. In particular, the circumstances and issues of the Trinitarian controversy in the 350s are presented, as well as an assessment of the impact of Origen’s thought. The chapter then looks at Hilary’s theological anthropology, presenting a literature review and explaining the book’s methodology, which is to compare Hilary’s commentaries on Matthew and on Psalm 118 in particular. Lastly, key research questions are presented: what are the characteristics of Hilary’s theological anthropology and how novel is it? In particular, the book will examine his theologies of the will and original sin, and locate him on the trajectory of thought between Origen and Augustine.

PurposeTo date the vast majority of sponsorship research has focused on the perspective of sponsors. The purpose of this paper is to use this research to identify factors that sponsored institutions and organizations (sponsees) should be cognizant of before entering into a sponsorship arrangement, and to propose a research agenda based on these factors.Design/methodology/approachThe authors leverage sponsorship research that has been published in business journals with an impact factor above 0.5 (Reuters, 2015).FindingsThis paper argues that sponsees should be aware of the benefits that sponsorship brings to sponsors so that they can better appeal to potential sponsors. A sponsee also needs to be aware of the impact a sponsorship partnership may have on its own brand, image, and equity.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a conceptual paper grounded in the literature that aims to stimulate further research in the domain of sponsorship and provide deeper understanding for sponsees. Empirical research addressing the research questions posed is required.Practical implicationsIn a holistic manner, this literature review offers insights into factors that sponsees should consider before entering a sponsorship relationship.Originality/valuePrevious research in the sponsorship domain has focused primarily on dyadic sponsors. This paper considers sponsorship from the sponsee’s perspective.

The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this study is to review the literature on corporate governance (CG); environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and corporate social responsibility (CSR) during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and addresses three research questions: What are the characteristics of the literature on CG and COVID-19? What are the themes in CG in the COVID-19 era? and What are key areas of future research on CG and COVID-19? Design/methodology/approach The authors attempted a systematic literature review of 62 studies published in 2020. The authors used four criteria to identify characteristics of the literature on CG and COVID-19 and three criteria to identify key themes in the literature addressing CG and the pandemic. The authors analyzed answers to the above research questions and proposals from studies reviewed to guide future research. Findings CG in the context of COVID-19 has been studied mostly in developed countries and within a theoretical framework. As accounting data are insufficient, more research is required in all countries (developed, emerging and other). Further, there are no conclusive results regarding the relevance of ESG and CSR to financial performance. Future research should use additional methodologies and data sources to fully explain the impact of COVID-19 on CG. Practical implications Practitioners and policymakers could benefit from the study, as the authors present key challenges to CG for the present and the future. Originality/value This study is the first to provide a systematic literature review on CG during the COVID-19 pandemic and presents current trends, challenges and avenues for future research.

Contemporary Context

Abstract The contemporary context of Romanian universities is neither a clear nor a stable one: a lot of pressure is put from different external entities, such as ministries, quality assurance institutions, rankings, employers, students and staff. Wellbeing is not a new concept, but it is not yet considered useful and manageable for higher education institutions struggling with scarcity of resources when priority always means research visibility. Scientific literature include more studies dedicated to wellbeing in schools, mainly kindergarten and primary school. This paper will prove that even Romanian universities can develop and implement a wellbeing services strategy. The research methodology is based on the literature review as well as a comparative study on the status of different high ranked universities, according to some wellbeing dimensions; it is also based on the results of a questionnaire-based research on students’ perception about the current institutional situation and the possibility of improving the existing state. The research questions are: What do we understand by wellbeing service? Do Romanian universities need a wellbeing strategy to improve the students’ services? What are the main elements to build such a strategy? The research is based on the following objectives: understanding the wellbeing concept in general and in Romanian university context, describing the gap between students’ services already provided and needed students’ services, identifying the main elements for building a wellbeing strategy. Main results of the paper refer to a draft of strategy model and practical solutions/measures to implement it.

The Impact

A review of the literature on the stages of the formation of temporary and permanent occlusion has been performed. This stages play an important role not only for the full development of the maxillofacial apparatus, temporomandibular joint, but also the whole organism. The role of early tooth extraction in the formation of the physiological state of the dentoalveolar system is considered. The conclusion is drawn about the need for a deeper study of this problem in the structure of general dental morbidity.

ABSTRACT Web-based homework (WBH) is an increasingly important phenomenon. There is little research about its character, the nature of its impact on student performance, and how that impact evolves over an academic term. The primary research questions addressed in this study are: What relevant factors in a WBH learning environment impact students' performance? And how does the impact of these factors change over the course of an academic term? This paper examines and identifies significant factors in a WBH learning environment and how they impact student performance. We studied over 300 students using WBH extensively for their coursework, throughout a semester in an undergraduate class at a large public university. In this paper, we present factors in the WBH learning environment that were found to have a significant impact on student performance during the course of a semester. In addition to individual and technological factors, this study presents findings that demonstrate that frustration with IT use is a component of the learning environment, and as a construct, has a larger impact than usefulness on student performance at the end of a course. Our results indicate that educators may benefit from training students and engaging them in utility of co-operative learning assignments to mitigate the level of frustration with the software in the WBH learning environment and improve student performance.
