When we’re old and wise

China is facing a rapidly ageing population, with almost a quarter of its population over the standard retirement age in many regions of 60 years. This coincides with a declining birth rate and given more flexible retirement policies, the workforce itself is getting older. Research in the International Journal of Economics and Business Research recognises that within this workforce, older, experienced knowledge workers are a growing human resource asset. Understanding their needs and ensuring they are not so disenfranchesed that they take retirement as early as possible is now high on the organisational agenda and a critical part of modern management.

The research emphasises career capital, a concept that brings together human capital, social capital, and decision-making capital. Human capital refers to an individual’s skills, knowledge, and experience. Social capital encompasses professional networks and relationships. Decision-making capital involves accumulated judgement and problem-solving abilities. The research found that these all contribute to ongoing professional effectiveness in the later stages of employment.

Two psychological factors specifically were identified as important in mediating the relationship between career capital and workplace success: self-efficacy and job crafting. Self-efficacy is an individual’s belief in their abilities, while job crafting refers to the adjustment they make to tasks and work relationships to align with personal strengths and interests. The accumulation of skills, networks, and decision-making abilities are all fully realised when older employees feel capable and empowered to shape their roles.

In an effort to ensure older employees are not disenfranchised and continue to play an important role, the researchers suggest that the various dynamics at play need to be integrated into a new model of human resource management. This model should pay attention to different forms of career capital, activation of self-efficacy and adaptability, and flexible organisational support strategies tailored to age-specific needs. If such an approach is implemented, organisations will be able to sustain productivity, encourage innovation, and preserve the professional value of older knowledge workers.

Research pick: AI second guess that emotion - "Aspect-level sentiment classification with emotional keywords attention network"

Research in the International Journal of Computational Intelligence Studies has looked at how we might improve artificial intelligence (AI) systems for interpreting human emotion in written communication. The new system is capable of identifying sentiment not only in broad terms, positive, negative, and neutral, but also at a more detailed, aspect-specific level.

Sentiment analysis usually evaluates entire sentences or documents as a single unit. This can hide the subtleties of human expression. For instance, a restaurant review may praise the food while criticising the service. Previous AI models could struggle to separate these differing opinions, often assigning a generalised sentiment score. The new model overcomes this limitation by emphasising emotionally charged keywords, the words that carry the most significant emotional weight in a sentence. It does this using an attention network, a computational mechanism that allows AI to prioritise certain inputs over others.

This focus on the most emotional terms in a piece of text allows the AI to classify sentiment directed at specific aspects of a text. In the restaurant example, the model can distinguish the positive sentiment aimed at the food from the negative sentiment about the service, producing a more nuanced interpretation. Moreover, the system’s ability to pay attention to the most emotionally charged words is a useful advance in natural language processing.

Such a tool could help businesses that rely on customer feedback, social media analysis, and online reviews. With it a company could spot concerns being discussed online as they arise and so make a timely response to help manage their image and refine their marketing. They might even be able to offer targeted responses to individuals or groups to improve customer satisfaction and perception.

This research is part of a growing trend in AI research towards improving the way in which computers interpret language and emotion. By enabling machines to analyse sentiment at the level of individual aspects rather than entire texts, this approach contributes to the development of more perceptive, context-aware AI.

Research pick: Is the AI black box right on time? - "Artificial intelligence’s effect and influence on multiple disciplines and sectors"

Irrespective of the ethics and the apocalyptic predictions, artificial intelligence (AI) has already become a central component of economic and institutional decision-making. Research in the International Journal of Intelligent Systems Design and Computing has gone beyond an industry-specific analysis of the state-of-the-AI-art and offers a detailed framework of how the many different AI tools are being adopted.

The main point that arises from the analysis is that while AI technologies are being used widely across sectors, organizations do not yet have a strategy that allows AI to be integrated in a way that balances innovation with accountability.

AI encompasses so-called machine learning for recognising patterns in data, natural language processing that can interpret and human language, and generative tools that produce text, images, video, computer code, and other output. All these tools are changing many sectors from healthcare diagnostics to processing industrial and financial data, to produce hit pop songs and accompanying videos.

Education and business operations are undergoing similar shifts. Adaptive learning platforms in education adjust course material to suit the way individual students learn. In retail and logistics, AI is being used to refine supply chains, manage inventory, and personalize the customer “experience”. Even in the world of law, law enforcement is using AI to assess crime scenes and weigh evidence, while judges are using these tools to summarise their concluding remarks from massive briefs.

One of the most pressing issues highlighted by the research is data privacy, as AI systems depend on large volumes of often sensitive and personal information. In addition, there is the notion of algorithmic transparency, wherein we are are losing the ability to understand how a given AI system is arriving at a specific decision. Indeed, many of the most advanced AI models now work essentially as black boxes, meaning their internal processes simply cannot be interpreted…perhaps without resorting to another AI to do the interpretation! Such a lack of transparency might undermine trust in high-stakes contexts such as medical diagnoses or judicial decisions.

To address the issues, the researchers propose a framework based on stakeholder theory, which maintains an emphasis on the importance of all parties affected by the decisions AI might make. In the business context, they stress that organisations should bot focus solely on efficiency or profit, they must have perspective that them to weigh the interests of employees, customers, regulators, and society at large when adopting AI. This might only come about, of course, with governance, regulations, and ethical obligations.

Research pick: Boosting self-efficacy to cope with workplace social undermining - "Self-efficacy as the saviour: defending psychological well-being against the destructive power of social undermining"

A study of more than 500 employees in the fast-moving consumer goods sector has demonstrated how employers might mitigate social undermining in the workplace. Social undermining is a pattern of behaviour in which colleagues or supervisors hinder an individual’s performance or professional relationships. This might include withholding critical information, spreading rumours, or criticising colleagues in a public setting. Unlike overt harassment, such actions are often subtle and cumulative, gradually weakening an employee’s capacity to function effectively within a team.

Social undermining leads to stress, anxiety, and burnout. Such problems are not only detrimental to the employee being targeted but are also linked to reduced productivity and higher staff turnover within an organisation.

The research looks at self-efficacy, an individual’s belief in their own abilities. The team found that self-efficacy acts as a psychological buffer so that those who have greater self-efficacy are less likely to succumb to the effects of social undermining. The work also found that hostility from supervisors had a more pronounced emotional impact than similar actions by peers, but strong self-efficacy could buffer targeted individuals even more effectively in such situations.

Fundamentally, employees with greater confidence in their abilities were more likely to interpret negativity from supervisors as a challenge to be managed rather than as evidence of personal failure. This personal reframing of issues reduces the psychological toll of that kind of interaction for those individuals.

In contrast, negativity from peers affects social standing and workplace relationships, making it more difficult for even those with the greatest level of self-efficacy to cope with such issues. In these cases, the harm is less about task performance and more about belonging and reputation within a group.

The findings suggest that employers might address toxic behaviour in the workplace by strengthening how well their employees can cope given that some degree of interpersonal conflict is inevitable in any organisation and might not always be something that can be stopped directly. By promoting the development of personal resources and self-efficacy, they may have a more practical way to intervene without recourse to disciplinary approaches.

Research pick: Dodging the distro inferno - "Fire warning of lithium battery energy storage power stations for environmental sustainable development"

A new fire detection system designed for lithium battery energy storage facilities described in the International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management could improve safety in the renewable energy sector.

Electricity generation that uses intermittent energy sources, such as wind and solar, relies on large-scale rechargeable batteries for storage. Unfortunately, a phenomenon known as thermal runaway is a well-known issue with lithium batteries. It refers to the feedback that occurs when battery temperature rises, triggering chemical reactions that generate further heat and so on. Thermal runaway can lead to catastrophic fire or explosion, causing damage to infrastructure and releasing hazardous substances, including toxic gases and heavy metals, into the surrounding environment.

The new approach discussed in IJETM addresses the risk through a more responsive and reliable method of fire detection. It uses a combination of sensors to monitor key indicators of potential failure, including temperature changes, smoke levels and the presence of carbon monoxide.

The system integrates these multiple data streams using a mathematical approach known as Dempster–Shafer evidence theory instead of using a single measurement. The framework works with uncertain or incomplete information from different sources and so can make reliable judgements on whether the system is stable or on the verge of catastrophic failure. In so doing, it reduces the number of false alarms and improves detection of genuine fire risk. The processing unit analyses the data in real time and can trigger an alarm and response within two seconds with over 95 per cent accuracy. Both response time and accuracy improve on earlier systems.

The same multi-factorial approach might be used in other sectors that rely on interconnected, sensor-driven technologies, including industrial safety monitoring, transportation networks, and urban infrastructure, where early detection of anomalies can prevent accidents and improve efficiency.

Research pick: Balancing ecology and industry in China - "Marine ecological governance and green development in Beibu Gulf of Guangxi under the digital context"

A new study of the vast Guangxi Beibu Gulf Marine Region (GBGMR) in southern China takes a close look at how environmental limits are being stretched by economic growth. It highlights the disparities between provinces and asks how more effective environmental policies might be put in place across different parts of the region.

The GBGMR is an important coastal zone spanning several provinces. It lies along southern China’s coast on the Beibu Gulf near the border with Vietnam. It acts as an ecological barrier stabilising environmental conditions as well as supporting fisheries, water supply, and industry. The GBGMR encompasses an incredibly varied geography but represents an uneven distribution of natural resources. Both these factors make it especially vulnerable to all kinds of pressures from human activity.

Research in the International Journal of Global Energy Issues has shown that while the region currently operates within what we might call environmental limits, the buffer zone is steadily shrinking based on an assessment of its Ecological Carrying Capacity (ECC). ECC is a measure of an ecosystem’s ability to support human activity without causing long-term damage to the natural environment. In their study, the team combined two indicators of impact: carbon footprint and water footprint.

Their analysis shows clear variation across regions in the GBGMR and over time. Provinces that depend on energy-intensive industries, such as coal and chemicals, face much higher ecological stress whereas areas that have diversified are more resilient and can maintain a better balance between growth and environmental limits.

The findings could help guide policymakers so that locally pertinent regulations are put in place instead of blanket measures. The team suggests that regions with high emissions should accelerate the move to sustainable energy, while water-scarce areas should prioritise conservation and move away from water-intensive industries.

Research pick: The online protection racket - "Personal data protection in the age of digital financial systems"

Research in the journal Electronic Government discusses the growing need for protecting one’s personal financial data as the online world faces increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The researchers argue that no single measure is sufficient to secure the modern financial ecosystem. As such, they set out a framework that combines technological tools, regulatory oversight, and individual responsibility to combat the problem.

There are three foundational principles in online financial security: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality is about making sure that sensitive information, such as account details and biometrics, is accessible only to authorised users. Integrity involves maintaining the accuracy and reliability of data and blocking unauthorised changes. Availability ensures that only legitimate users can access their financial information and no third party.

The researchers explain that a breakdown in any one of these areas can lead to personal financial loss, reputational harm for institutions, and more broadly, an erosion of trust in digital services.

Phishing, in which attackers pose as legitimate entities to extract sensitive information via a rogue email or website, is the most common digital fraud. Malware, software designed to infiltrate or damage systems, is a close second and continues to evolve to evade antivirus systems and get around firewalls. Insider threats, involving individuals within organisations misusing access, add another layer of risk. Then there are institutional, industrial-scale breaches where data is sold to malicious third parties on the dark web.

Financial institutions operate within stringent regulatory systems to reduce the risks but even with protections in place such as data regulation laws, encryption, multi-factor authentication, and routine security audits, vulnerabilities still exist.

All the protection in the world cannot save users from themselves, though. Even the least naïve digital native can succumb to social engineering or the sleekest of phishing attacks. The researchers suggest that user education is key. Users need to learn about avoiding weak passwords, about not repeating passwords, about how to recognise phishing attempts, and about how to be consistent in their practices online to avoid being caught out.
