Overlooked effect of negative data on efficiency analysis by Lu, Wen-Min, Kweh, Qian Long, Ting, Irene Wei Kiong

“…Traditional techniques of handling negative data values in DEA, such as adding an arbitrary constant or substituting a small positive value, fail to account for the effect of production scale on efficiency and can produce misleading findings. This study thus proposes a novel method for dealing with negative output values in DEA by revising them based on production scale. …”

Cultural construction of success and epistemic motives moderate American-Chinese differences in reward allocation biases by Leung, Angela K.-Y., Kim, Young-Hoon, Tam, Kim-Pong, Chiu, Chi-yue, Zhang, Zhixue

“…In a study comparing the reward allocation biases of Americans and Chinese in different group outcome conditions, the authors showed that the abovementioned cultural difference is found (a) only for culturally congruent success experience (attaining approach goals for Americans and avoidance goals for Chinese) and (b) among individuals who are motivated by the need for cognitive closure to exhibit culturally typical responses. This finding has important implications for understanding the dynamic nature of cultural influences on social behaviors.…”

Arsenene nanoribbon edge-resolved strong magnetism by Wang, Sanmei, Zhang, Xi, Huang, Yongli, Sun, Chang Qing

“…Consistency between bond-order-length-strength correlation (BOLS) theory and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified that: (i) the edge bond contraction of 9.54% deepened the edge potential well of AsNR, (ii) a net charge of 0.06 e- transferred from the inner region to the edge; and (iii) the edge quantum well polarized the unpaired electron and the net spin (antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic depending on the width) is localized at the zigzag edge. The finding sheds a light on applications of AsNR in magnetic storage devices.…”

Singapore's road to normalization : an evaluation of the Singapore government's COVID-19 crisis communication efforts by Pong, Candelyn Yu

“…Through a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, this paper evaluates the satisfaction levels and limitations pertaining to the COVID- 19 measures implemented and the effectiveness and adequacy of the government’s communication with Singapore residents. The findings reveal that while participants were generally satisfied with the government’s crisis communication efforts, a significant number of them pointed out a key weakness in the government’s communication in the area of empathy-the government has not done enough in this aspect. …”

Developing student feedback literacy through self and peer assessment interventions by Hoo, Hui-Teng, Deneen, Christopher, Boud, David

“…This paper therefore examines student feedback capabilities in the context of an undergraduate course intervention based on an empirically based feedback literacy framework. 237 student journals written in response to self and peer feedback information were coded for student feedback literacy features and the effectiveness of pedagogical approaches for building the needed capabilities. Findings highlight the presence, extent and trajectories of feedback capabilities over time within the course. …”
