In this paper, I seek to answer whether Aboriginal procurement initiatives are valuable to governments and Indigenous businesses. I posit that Aboriginal procurement initiatives are partially effective because they provide opportunities to some Aboriginal businesses, however they are imperfect because not all Aboriginal businesses are able to benefit from them. I present a brief literature review, a jurisdictional scan of these initiatives in Canada and Australia, and a comparative analysis. I find that these initiatives are not meeting the needs of businessowners, especially in building capacity. Aboriginal procurement initiatives are adequately providing employment and capacity-building opportunities for established Aboriginal businesses through experience and networking but are not supporting growth or development of new Aboriginal businesses that lack capacity. Future initiatives should consider working to better address the needs of Aboriginal businesspeople and their communities and addressing the underlying socioeconomic problems that create the economic disparity that necessitates these initiatives.

Public health leaders need to influence change to serve underserved populations, such as people who have a disability. Action research was conducted with a community of practice (CoP) from Ohio to examine readiness, capacity building, and capacity factors needed for public health partners to more fully include people who have a disability (PWD) in state smoking cessation efforts. Five conditions fostered readiness, capacity building, and capacity among public health partners to include PWD: (1) successful timing of effort, (2) facilitation of discussions, (3) systematic reflection, (4) sufficient support, and (5) personal commitment of participants. Nine factors of readiness, capacity building, and capacity influenced inclusion of PWD: (1) positive perception and quality interactions with partners, (2) contact with organizations, (3) recognition of need to coordinate, (4) engagement in a network, (5) practical collaboration experience, (6) continuing education, (7), critical reflection time, (8) dedicated staff, and (9) knowledge of priority population. Readiness, capacity, and capacity building were interconnected and supported inclusion of PWD in public health efforts. Ohio public health partners used these factors and conditions to achieve the first mandatory disability awareness training for all National Jewish Health Quitline counselors. Future efforts addressing other specific demographic groups that experience health disparities can use these findings.

Abstract Various aspects of innovation management have been discussed in literature over the past few decades. Most of the innovation management frameworks have been formulated by undertaking studies in the developed world and lack the industry / culture specific focus. In this paper we revisit the generic innovation management studies to develop an innovation management framework for highlighting the factors affecting innovation specifically at the ICT sector of Pakistan. A detailed literature review has been conducted to identify the factors included in the past innovation management models. To identify the factors specific for Pakistan, senior level professionals, working at the Pakistani ICT organizations were interviewed. A comparative analysis of the innovation management frameworks for Pakistan against those previously found in literature revealed interesting similarities and differences. Based on the study findings, an innovation management framework is developed that highlights the present factors which are important for innovation in the ICT sector for Pakistan. This framework can be used by Pakistan and other underdeveloped countries for improving their innovation in ICT sectors in particular and other sectors in general.

Relevant Factors

Section 164(3) of the Tax Administration Act No. 28 of 2011 gives a senior SARS official the discretion to suspend the payment of disputed tax or a portion thereof, having regard to relevant factors. Limited guidance is available in this regard. The objectives are to establish the concerns and uncertainties regarding the relevant factors and to determine whether a ‘suspension of the payment of disputed tax’ in terms of section 164(3) constitutes the granting of ‘credit’ in terms of a ‘credit agreement’ in terms of the National Credit Act, Act No. 34 of 2005. This is achieved by adopting an explanatory research approach and performing a literature review and comparative analysis respectively. The conclusion is reached that the current factors listed are not necessarily the most relevant ones. Recommendations are made to simplify the process and to revise and improve the wording regarding the relevant factors.

Local Antibiotic Therapy

Endoprosthetics of joints has firmly taken its place in a number of orthopedic interventions in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Unfortu-nately, with an increase in the number of operations, the number of complications that develop at various stages of treatment does not decrease. Deep infections in the area of the endoprosthesis (paraprosthetic infection) are especially difficult in treatment, since only 20% of patients, and mainly in early forms of complications, manage to save the implant. The incidence of infectious complications at the stationary stage in specialized endoprosthetics centers does not exceed 1% during primary operations, but their number, as a rule, multiplies several years after the intervention. The most common treatment option for paraprosthetic infection is staged revision arthroplasty. The authors of the review conduct a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of one- and two-stage treatment options. The latter is based on the use of bone cement spacers impregnated with antibiotics.

Practical Implications

Reporting Verbs (RVs), a crucial aspect of citations in academic writing, are used to report the work of other researchers. A Literature Review Chapter, as a key part-genre of any thesis, or a bigger genre where it is embedded, is the main place that has the highest number of RVs. Accordingly, this study aimed to analyze and compare the use of RVs between 30 bachelor’s thesis (BT) Literature Review Chapters and 30 master’s thesis (MT) Literature Review Chapters of Chinese English majors in terms of denotation and evaluation of RVs based on Hyland’s (2002) classification framework. The findings reveal that the RVs used in the BT Literature Reviews were smaller in amount and narrower in range compared with those in the MT counterparts. Regarding the denotation of RVs, Discourse Act RVs were found to be the most predominant in the BT corpus, while Research Act RVs prevailed in the MT corpus. Cognition Act RVs were the least used in the two corpora. Regarding the evaluation of RVs, factive RVs were the most frequently used in the BT Literature Reviews, while non-factive RVs were the most prominent in the MT counterparts. However, negative RVswere infrequent in both corpora. This study would increase the thesis writers’ knowledge on the significance of RVs, raise their awareness of employing RVs, and help them use RVs appropriately and effectively in writing their thesis and other academic writings. This paper also provides practical implications for teaching RVs in preparing research dissertations.

The Way

The chapter showcases the 21st century skills that are required by librarians. The digital era brought about a lot of changes in the way that librarians interact with their clients. Due to the changing needs of clients, librarians should ensure that they are well equipped to deliver the needed services. The objectives of the chapter are to identify the skills that librarians should possess in the 21st century, examine how librarians acquire those skills, and discuss the challenges that are faced when acquiring those skills. Structured literature review and web content analysis were used to get the LIS skills. It was discovered that librarians should possess professional, technical, and soft skills in order to remain relevant in the 21st century. The findings revealed that librarians can acquire skills through on the job trainings or formal education. The major challenge that is faced by librarians is the issue of lack of funds to support their capacity building endeavours.
