This article explores qualitative research issues that arise when researchers engage in study within their own ambiguous, unstable, conflictual, and rapidly changing society. We explore the topics of the relationship between the researcher and the context, the difficulty in choosing relevant research quest ions under such conditions, and the relevance of generalizing or transferring findings from such contexts to other sites and populations. We present two research cases from the Israeli context: one that demonstrates an external conflict (between Israelis and Palestinians) and one that demonstrates an internal conflict (between Israelis and Israelis), analyzing them according to these three main issues. Our conclusions focus on the methodological implications that researching one’s ambiguous and conflictual “backyard” have for qualitative researchers.

Purpose- The purpose of the paper is to communicate the concepts, focus and framework of social enterprise prevailing in international arena and recommend some of the research issue that can be contextualized in Nepalese setting for reaping growing importance of the issue.Design/Methodology/Approach- This paper is an analytic review, building on previous work.Findings- The varying definitions of social enterprise is found not an abnormal phenomenon as it differs according to author’s perception and context in which research is conducted. However, the generic ingredient of the concept of social enterprise is to create a positive and sustainable social impact which I believe is more powerful than promotional campaign and neuromanagement.Research limitation/Implication - The research paper helps to disseminate the diverse viewpoints on social entrepreneurship/ enterprise and provokes the need for open discourse on the topic among Nepalese academicians and business community.Originality/Value- The research paper has suggested some of the research issues and models in which future research on Nepalese perspective could be conducted.NCC JournalVol. 3, No. 1, 2018, page: 143-152

Purpose In addition to introducing the papers that contribute to the special issue on “Accounting for Social Impact”, the purpose of this editorial is to prompt critical reflection and discussion on the concept of social impact in accounting research and practice. Design/methodology/approach This editorial draws on Alvesson and Blom’s (2021) hembig concept to frame the discussion. After briefly introducing the hembig concept, we discuss social impact in accounting research and practice in relation to it before reflecting on potential implications. We then introduce the contributions to this special issue. Findings While we argue that social impact in accounting is not a hembig concept, we suggest that it is potentially at risk of becoming one. In light of this discussion, we identify the importance of conceptual clarity in the use of social impact within accounting research and practice, given the potential for conceptual ambiguity. Research limitations/implications The editorial aims, which are reflected in this special issue, are not only to stimulate qualitative research on accounting for social impact but to also encourage further critical engagement with the concept and its use. We suggest that the concept of social impact and its use within accounting research and practice would benefit from further conversations and critical reflection. Originality/value We consider the concept of social impact within accounting in relation to the hembig concept.

Importance: At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was limited understanding of symptom experience and disease progression. Objective: We developed and validated a fit-for-purpose, disease-specific instrument to assess symptoms in patients with COVID-19 to inform endpoints in an interventional trial for non-hospitalized patients. Design: The initial drafting of the 23-item Symptoms Evolution of COVID-19 (SE-C19) Instrument was developed based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention symptom list and available published literature specific to patients with COVID-19 as of Spring 2020. The measurement principles in the Food and Drug Administration patient-reported outcomes guidance and the four methodological Patient-Focused Drug Development Guidances were also considered. Setting: Interviews were conducted virtually with patients recruited through a healthcare research firm. Participants: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 30 non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19 Intervention: Interviews involved two stages: (1) concept elicitation, to obtain information about the symptoms experienced as a result of COVID-19 in patients' own words, and (2) cognitive debriefing, for patients to describe their understanding of the SE-C19 instructions, specific symptoms, response options, and recall period to ensure the content of the SE-C19 is relevant and comprehensive. Five clinicians treating COVID-19 outpatients were interviewed to obtain their insights on symptoms experienced by patients and provide input on the SE-C19. Main Outcome and Measure: Patients reported no issues regarding the relevance or appropriateness of the SE-C19 instructions, including the recall period. The comprehensiveness of the SE-C19 was confirmed against the conceptual model developed in the qualitative research. Minor conceptual gaps were revealed to capture nuances in the experience of nasal and gustatory symptoms, and systemic manifestations of sickness. Almost all items were endorsed by patients as being appropriate and well understood. The clinicians largely approved all items, response options, and recall period. Conclusions and Relevance: The qualitative research provided supportive evidence of the content validity of the SE-C19 instrument to assess the symptoms of outpatients with COVID-19 and its use in clinical trials to evaluate the benefit of treatment. Minor changes may be considered to improve conceptual clarity and ease of responding. Trial Registration: R10933-10987-COV-2067 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04425629)
