Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to set out to examine and critique the current state and future trajectory of interdisciplinary accounting research in the USA. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is based on the author's involvement in and research into accounting research and publication contexts, drivers and patterns in the accounting discipline. Findings – In all likelihood, research will continue established traditions that prevent the explorations of economics and finance from material broadening. This paper identifies how that which everyone believes to be such a good idea cannot bear fruit. Research limitations/implications – Conventional economics-based accounting research has proliferated in volume but has largely exhausted its potential for significant contributions to knowledge. Failure to embrace broadened interdisciplinary perspectives risks a crisis of accounting research contribution to policy, practice, and society. Originality/value – This critique reveals the serious weaknesses and serious risks to international accounting scholarship of the continuance and global mimicking of the North American pursuit of an exclusively economic accounting research perspective.

Few people in North American academia are more knowledgeable aboutIslam in Southeast Asia, and especially in Indonesia, than Howard Federspiel.The forte of his own research contributions lays not so much in innovativeanalyses as in presenting comprehensive and useful overviews forspecialists and novice students alike. As a political scientist, he made hisname with his study of Indonesia’s Persatuan Islam (PERSIS), a modernistIslamic organization active from the 1920s until the 1950s – the critical timeframe during which the Dutch colony gained its independence. This was followedby further contributions to the country’s contemporary intellectualhistory. With Sultans, Shamans & Saints, Federspiel has now tried his handat producing a general overview of Islam in Southeast Asia ...

Opening Up

Despite a wide range of concerns, the multiple overlapping crises in North American journalism have been largely circumscribed as stemming from either economic decline and/or technological disruption and change. This narrow lens has limited the possibility for discussion of wider and often prior challenges to the current state of journalism and their solutions. This introduction brings together wider conversations about journalism and complicates the notion of crisis, situating concerns about technology and economics alongside chronic issues related to power, structure, and epistemology in order to analyze gaps and exclusions. Understanding what journalism can and should do—its limits and possibilities—is essential to imagining new contours for how journalism might respond to the digital reckonings taking place at a time when good journalism is determined via an iterative process that is both internal to journalism (professional norms and practices) and external to journalism (taking into account audience experiences).

Background. Movement disorders fellowships are an important source of future clinician-specialists and clinician-scientists for the field. Scant published information exists on the number and characteristics of North American movement disorders fellowship training programs.Methods. A 31-item internet-based survey was formulated and distributed to academic movement disorders listed in the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) directory as having a movement disorders fellowship and to all National Parkinson Foundation Centers of Excellence and Care Centers in North America.Results. There was a 77% response rate among academic movement disorders centers. Broad similarities in clinical training were identified. The two most important rated missions of maintaining a movement disorders fellowship were contributions to scholarly activities and to fulfilling a critical need for specialists. Almost a quarter of fellowship programs did not offer a fellowship slot during the most recent academic year. Fellowship directors cited a wide variety of funding sources, but their top concern was lack of available funding for fellowship programs.Conclusions. North American movement disorders fellowship training programs currently offer similar methods of clinical training and education. Lack of funding was the most important obstacle to maintaining fellowship programs and should be made a priority for discussion in the field.

AbstractThis report describes Test-Comp 2021, the 3rd edition of the Competition on Software Testing. The competition is a series of annual comparative evaluations of fully automatic software test generators for C programs. The competition has a strong focus on reproducibility of its results and its main goal is to provide an overview of the current state of the art in the area of automatic test-generation. The competition was based on 3 173 test-generation tasks for C programs. Each test-generation task consisted of a program and a test specification (error coverage, branch coverage). Test-Comp 2021 had 11 participating test generators from 6 countries.

Summary Talk

Machine learning has become prevalent across a wide variety of applications. Unfortunately, machine learning has also shown to be susceptible to deception, leading to errors, and even fatal failures. This circumstance calls into question the widespread use of machine learning, especially in safety-critical applications, unless we are able to assure its correctness and trustworthiness properties. Software verification and testing are established technique for assuring such properties, for example by detecting errors. However, software testing challenges for machine learning are vast and profuse - yet critical to address. This summary talk discusses the current state-of-the-art of software testing for machine learning. More specifically, it discusses six key challenge areas for software testing of machine learning systems, examines current approaches to these challenges and highlights their limitations. The paper provides a research agenda with elaborated directions for making progress toward advancing the state-of-the-art on testing of machine learning.
