Entrepreneurial Parenting Through Spiritual Capital

This study aligns with the objectives of this volume, presenting cases reflecting social entrepreneurs' lived experiences, seeking understanding, and conveying learning from practitioners and their emergent approaches embedded in contextual realities. Adopting an interpretative approach, this chapter presents First Fruit Group (FFG) as an illustrative case derived from a broader study – highlighting various dimensions of entrepreneurial parenting identified as core elements in the nurturing process at FFG and manifested in the relationship between social entrepreneur and mentee. Evidently fundamental for FFG's growth, it extended strategic vision and raison d'être continuity in leadership succession, motivating new opportunity exploitation and sustaining the group's enterprising expansion.

OVERVIEW OF BRAZILIAN RESEARCH ON STATISTICS EDUCATION INVOLVING TEACHERS: METHODOLOGICAL PATHS AND TRAINING CONTEXTS

This article aims to analyze Brazilian research on statistics education involving teachers to highlight methodological trends and training contexts mobilized by such research. To this end, a survey was carried out in the Dissertation and Thesis Bank of CAPES, considering the descriptor "Statistical Education” and the 2013-2018 timeframe. A total of ninety-nine studies were found, twenty of which met the proposed objective. This is a documentary and bibliographic study, in which an interpretative approach was adopted using the technique of content analysis. The data analysis verified that nine of those studies did not lead to training processes with teachers. In addition, the analysis of the other eleven studies, which led to training, revealed an intrinsic relationship between the methodological path and the training contexts reported. This demonstrated the expressiveness of training contexts based on epistemology of collaboration, that is, those contexts that both give voice and listen to teachers, and recognize them as producers of knowledge. Conversely, we identified two research studies that shaped the training considering the paradigm of technical rationality, and designed training courses to address certain content/concepts that teachers supposedly do not master. It was evidenced that the conception of teacher training has a direct and explicit relationship with the organization of the training spaces outlined. Finally, we identified one research study based on epistemology of practice, which focuses on the understanding of knowledge mobilized in teaching practice. Abstract: Portuguese O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar pesquisas brasileiras de Educação Estatística que envolveram professores, com vistas a evidenciar tendências metodológicas e de contextos formativos mobilizados por tais estudos. Para tanto, realizou-se um mapeamento no Banco de Dissertações e Teses da CAPES, considerando o descritor “Educação Estatística” e o período de 2013 a 2018. Foram identificadas 99 pesquisas, dentre as quais 20 dialogam com o objetivo proposto. Trata-se de um estudo documental e bibliográfico, no qual se adotou uma abordagem interpretativa que tem como técnica a análise de conteúdo. A análise dos dados permitiu identificar que nove destes estudos não desencadearam processos formativos com os docentes. Além disso, a análise das demais 11 pesquisas, que desenvolveram processos formativos, revelou uma intrínseca relação entre o percurso metodológico e os contextos formativos relatados. Nesse sentido, evidenciou-se uma expressividade de contextos formativos pautados na epistemologia da colaboração, ou seja, aqueles que dão voz aos professores e se colocam à sua escuta; que os reconhecem como produtores de conhecimento. Em contrapartida, duas pesquisas estruturaram as formações, considerando o paradigma da racionalidade técnica e concebendo cursos de capacitação para abordar determinado conteúdo/conceito que o professor supostamente não domina. Constatou-se que a concepção de formação de professores tem relação direta e explícita com a organização dos espaços de formação delineados. Por fim, identificou-se uma pesquisa alicerçada na epistemologia da prática, que se volta para a compreensão de saberes mobilizados no fazer docente.

Public Perception of COVID-19 Vaccines: A Social Media Qualitative Interpretative Approach (Preprint)

BACKGROUND Vaccine hesitancy remains a major barrier to the successful campaign of vaccine programs, including COVID-19, globally. Understanding themes in perceptions among populations regarding vaccine science can aid in improving program implementation as well as potentially reduce socially induced vaccine hesitancy. Social media has been shown to be an increasingly useful tool for rapidly understanding public perceptions regarding public health concerns including vaccine adoption. However, specific themes regarding vaccine perceptions immediately after the COVID-19 vaccine release to the public has yet to be investigated. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the perceptions surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine among United States, Brazil, and India Twitter users within weeks post vaccine release. METHODS We collected Twitter data through Meltwater software using keywords including coronavirus, vaccines, Pfizer-BioTech, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson/Jassen, AstraZeneca, Novavax, Sinovac-Biotech, Covaxin, Covishield, Sputnik, United States, Brazil, and India in our search query. These keywords were also combined in a Boolean search style (i.e. COVID-19 and Pfizer) to retrieve relevant social media posts on COVID-19 vaccination and vaccines. We used R software to remove usernames, weblinks and other personal information and then the Nvivo 12 statistical software to analyze tweets and draw meanings through a qualitative interpretative approach. RESULTS Three key themes related to vaccine perception among 2,858 Twitter posts in the United States, Brazil, and India emerged in our analysis. These themes were mistrust in vaccine science (91.5%), religious push backs (5.4%), and politics of vaccination (3.5%). Several subthemes also emerged from these Twitter data. CONCLUSIONS Identifying social implications of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is vital in combating vaccine related misinformation as well as provision of accurate vaccine related public communications regarding vaccine acceptance among populations globally.

The contribution of business continuity management (BCM) to supply chain resilience: a qualitative study on the response to COVID-19 outbreak

PurposeThis paper investigates the relationships between the core elements of a BCM system and SCRES constituents, i.e. visibility, agility, flexibility, velocity and collaboration. An explorative multiple case studies methodology was adopted, consisting of organizations in the retail, manufacturing and humanitarian sectors that had to withstand the impact of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (January to June 2020).Design/methodology/approachThe paper adopts an interpretative approach to understand organizational behavior through observations. The source of data comes from in-depth interviews as well as the scrutiny of available official documents for triangulation. The unit of analysis is the organizations internal supply chain with a specific focus on their BCM system and SCM arrangements.FindingsThis paper shows how core BCM practices have a direct impact on supply chain resilience constituents. Specifically practices such as establishing a crisis management committee and risk assessments boost constituents such as agility and flexibility. This advances the theoretical discussion on supply chain resilience, while providing practical examples for organizations to build a response to pandemic incidents.Originality/valueThis paper validates the contribution of business continuity management to supply chain resilience, a concept that has mainly been linked to practices such as risk management. In this regard, this paper enriches the discussion. Secondly, the analysis explains how specific BCM practices worked during the first wave of the pandemic and how they were implemented, providing a clear path for supply chain resilience.

Family firm heterogeneity on CSR approach: A socio-emotional (SEW) perspective

How family firms adopt a certain corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach remains a relatively unexplored matter in family firm and firm ethics research. Hence, we study how and why the CSR approach (broad vs. narrow; benefits vs. costs) differs within family firms, addressing the influence of the socio-emotional wealth (SEW) dimensions, individually or combined. We used empirical evidence gathered through 13 case studies of firms from the Andalusia region and we used the interpretative approach of the grounded theory based on case study data. Results of our analyses lead to propose that family firms with a higher identification and more positive than negative valence with regard to emotional attachment and family enrichment dimensions will be more likely to exhibit a broad approach of CSR. Likewise, those family firms adopting CSR actions with stakeholders due to instrumental use of image and reputation dimension will more probably display a benefits approach.

The Rock in Rio extraordinary consumer experience journey: a value-based approach

PurposeThis study aims to propose a framework for understanding the construction of extraordinary consumer experiences in events from a multidimensional and longitudinal value perspective.Design/methodology/approachThe main research site was the Rock in Rio Brazil VI festival, an extraordinary consumption experience. The study takes a phenomenological interpretative approach, for which input was obtained using multiple data collection techniques (in-depth interviews, diaries and photographs) in a longitudinal study that took place over 18 months. The study also includes the first author’s observations and interactions with the event organizer and its partners during the same period, and post-pandemic complementary data that were collected in 2021.FindingsThe research findings demonstrate the integrative potential of concepts and theories that are analysed in the light of a longitudinal perspective for understanding value formation for consumers in their experience of extraordinary events. It also indicates that the construction of experience involves a high level of interaction and a high degree of engagement with the consumer in order to foster the development of an affective relationship between the service provider and the user that is based on a co-created experience.Originality/valueThe study answers call for more research into understanding consumer value, and how it is created, delivered and developed over time (Helkkula et al., 2012). It also expands our understanding of consumption experiences and the consumer journey (Lemon and Verhoef, 2016). It encourages longitudinal qualitative studies to be carried out and analyses value in the consumption experience in the field of events.

Raum. Ort. Topografien der Posener Heimatliteratur

The literature of the Eastern March is strictly local. A collection of several dozen German-language novels and stories from the circle of ‘Ostmarkenliteratur’ (literature of the Eastern March), which on a scale unknown before and afterwards sends the reader back to this specific region, shows how important the Poznań Province had become on the verge of the 19th century. Geographical and topographic information in the creative output of writers constitute its ‘verbal map’. Inspired by Barbara Piatti’s interpretative approach, I will attempt to answer key questions regarding the circumstances and conditions that are conductive to locating the plot of literary works in specific spaces and places, and to interpret the experience of space recorded in the literature of the Eastern March by means of this map.

Linguistic Intervention in Making Fiscal and Monetary Policy

Linguistics is a branch of science that can maneuver to solve various problems. Linguistics began to succeed in canceling the predicate given to laypeople, namely as a linguistic science. Linguistics can even be a solution for various other disciplines, including fiscal and monetary policy issues. Fiscal and monetary policies that require analysis of the past, present, and future phenomena can be answered immediately with a linguistic analysis knife. Critical discourse analysis is confidently taking action as a solution to this problem. The holistic interpretative approach used in this study tries to analyze the text by relating and relevant to the context and then abstracting it into a complete picture. This study succeeded in finding that critical discourse analysis can play a role in 3 things related to fiscal and monetary policy, namely: (1) text analysis is an analysis of linguistic elements in sentence construction used in formulating policies, (2) analysis of discourse practice is a background analysis behind the decision-makers who formulate policies and other situations and conditions behind the birth of business economic policies, and (3) analysis of socio-cultural and political is an analysis that is identifying the changes that occur as a result of these policies. This proves the effectiveness of Linguistics in studying fiscal and monetary policy issues.

Fatherhood and the nexus of gendered attitudes towards domestic violence amongst future teachers in Poland

In this paper we claim that gender attitudes towards fatherhood and parental practice, change quicker than attitudes of Polish society towards domestic violence (DV) and gender stereotypes. In the literary review we used an interpretative approach, embedded in Michael Rush’s (2015) theoretical framework, based on the Nordic turn in social policy and the convergence and divergence of fathering across cultures (Seward & Rush, 2016). Focusing on an empirical case study a questionnaire directed to future teachers was used as a method of data collection, to interlink attitudes towards fatherhood, masculinity/femininity archetypes and violence in intimate relationships. Gender stereotypes as well as attitudes towards DV and paternal involvement are strongly interconnected, and yet social change in these areas occurs at varied speeds in each field, due to the differences in which society accepts new norms. Whilst many studies suggest that involved fathers have a positive impact, leading to a decrease in violent behaviour, we take this further, demonstrating that change in fatherhood patterns has a positive impact on decreasing the social tolerance of DV. However, as our study shows this must be accompanied by changes in gender stereotypes, including attitudes towards fatherhood.

Metode Penanaman Pendidikan Islam pada Anak Menurut Abdullah Nashih Ulwan

Abdullah Nasih Ulwan’s provides several points of view in the realm of methods of planting Islamic education in children which can later be used as a means to achieve the goals of Islamic education. This research uses the documentation method with a descriptive-interpretative approach, namely an attempt to describe the interpretation of some of the texts of the book at-tarbiyah al-aulad fi al-Islam in the third chapter. As for the primary data source is the book at-tarbiyah al-aulad fi al-Islam, the secondary data source is books and related literature, while the data analysis used descriptive analysis. The results of this study there are five methods of planting Islamic education for children, namely educating by example, customary habits, advice, supervision, and through punishment.
