This chapter reviews the current state of play in the use of ontologies in the humanities, with best-practice examples from selected disciplines. It looks at the specific domain problems faced by the humanities, and examines the various approaches currently being employed to construct, maintain, and develop humanities ontologies. The application of ontology learning in the humanities is discussed by reviewing a range of research projects in different disciplines. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the future potential of ontology learning in the humanities, and an attempt to set out a research agenda for this field.

Basic Concepts

This article describes how robots are currently being used in education. First, the limitations of robotics technology are discussed and the current research aimed at addressing these limitations is described. Next, we explore three ways that robots are being used in the classroom. They can be used to teach basic concepts (especially in math and physics), or to assist disabled students with manipulation during classroom activities, and finally, as objects of study. In the last section, we explore the effectiveness of this technology. Since robots have been more difficult to develop than people had expected, they are still not readily available today. However, some robotics technology does exist and is currently being used by educators. This article discusses the current uses of robots and examines the future potential of this technology.

Way Of Thinking

The current pandemic uncovered how disastrous our disaster plans. The disaster doctrine in its current state is far from ideal, and another model of thinking is warranted. Scenario planning provides a standardised way of thinking on how to plan for the future. We believe disaster doctrine is probably the most doctrine that will benefit from this thinking model. Using scenario planning will uncover our assumptions, deficiencies and will inform a disaster best practice.

Minimum Requirements

The aim of this research is to gather preliminary information from a range of countries to develop an international perspective on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). Currently, there is no cohesive international statement on the minimum requirements to provide SEL in schools. By bringing together a range of international perspectives it is intended that clarity will be provided from which new approaches and initiatives can be developed and researched. International researchers familiar with SEL programs in their country were asked to answer five questions about the context and processes used to teach SEL in specific countries to begin an understanding and synthesis of best practice. These questions relate to: (1) sociocultural contexts of school systems, (2) the range of SEL programs presented in each country and what is common about these programs, (3) the effectiveness of prominent SEL programs, (4) the facilitators and barriers that exist to effectively present SEL programs within the country, and (5) recommendations for the future of SEL programs. A synthesis is followed by a discussion of the future of SEL and how the SEL Interest Group may make a contribution to the current state of the literature, curriculum, pedagogy, and research that informs SEL in schools.

This article outlines the benefits to institutions of engaging students (undergraduate and postgraduate) in carrying out education research projects. The activity outlined herein is probably best described as „action research‟, which potentially lays the foundation for chemical education research in the future. These projects aim to identify (or develop) best practice and provide the evidence to convince occasionally cynical academics that a new approach is effective in enhancing learning and/or the student experience. The benefits to the students carrying out the projects in terms of skills development and increased confidence are discussed, along with the benefits to academics and their institutions.

This article presents an overview of the state of interpreting studies from the origins of the profession to the current state of the field. It explores the in-terconnection between interpreting and translation studies and the evolution of inter-preting into a field of study in its own right. Since interpreting is an interdisciplinary endeavor, this article argues for the need to continue to expand perspectives, paying special consideration to perspectives from related fields. It takes a closer look at interpreting as a situated practice, as it unfolds in courts of law, health care organi-zations, and business environments. It suggests the need for a deeper dialogue among all related disciplines and suggests a research agenda for the future.

PurposeThis paper aims to identify the current research trends and set the future research agenda in the area of human resource (HR) analytics by an extensive review of the existing literature. The paper aims to capture state of the art and develop an exhaustive understanding of the theoretical foundations, concepts and recent developments in the area.Design/methodology/approachA portfolio of 125 articles collected from the Scopus database was systematically analyzed using a two-tier method. First, the evolution, current state of the literature and research clusters are identified using bibliometric techniques. Finally, using content analysis, the research clusters are studied to develop the future research agenda.FindingsBased on the bibliometric analysis, network analysis and content analysis techniques, this study provides a comprehensive review of the existing literature. The study also highlights future research themes by identifying knowledge gaps based on content analysis of research clusters.Research limitations/implicationsThe evolution and the current state of the HR analytics literature are presented. Some specific research questions are also provided to help future research.Originality/valueThis study enriches the literature of HR analytics by integrating bibliometric analysis and content analysis to develop a more systematic and exhaustive understanding of the research area. The findings of this study may assist fellow researchers in furthering their research in the identified research clusters.

New Generation

Eric Kavanagh, a professor of information design at the École des arts visuels at Laval University in Québec City, Canada, represents a new generation of information design researchers. Although young, he begins his academic career with a decade of practical experience behind him, and, therefore knows documents as more than artifacts of study; he has a first-hand knowledge of their production and use. This understanding of the importance of documents in everyday contexts, and in unique cultural contexts, drives Eric’s passion for information design as well as his research agenda. In this interview, Eric describes his background, his current work, his thoughts about the current state of the field and his hopes for the future.

This paper discusses the organisations involved in the development of application standards, European regulations and best practice guides, their scope of work and internal structures. It considers their respective visions for the requirements for future standardisation work and considers in more detail those areas where these overlap, namely human centric or integrative lighting, connectivity and the Internet of Things, inclusivity and sustainability.
