Human resource management in crisis situations : A systematic literature review
(2021-11-01) Edvardsson, Ingi Runar; Durst, Susanne; Department of Business and Economics
The paper aims to present a systematic literature review in the field of human resource management in times of crisis since 2008. In that way gaps in the current body of knowledge can be established that justify future research guidelines. The study consists of an analysis of 56 articles published in journals indexed in the Web of Science database. The majority of the papers were published in recent years, indicating a growing interest in the field. To be included, the papers had to be (1) peer-reviewed papers, (2) empirical papers that report on HRM practices in firms, (3) written in English, and (4) published in the period 2008–2021. Four themes were identified: economic crisis and HRM, health crisis and HRM, natural disasters and HRM, and political instability and HRM. The findings provide valuable knowledge and understanding of the present situation of HRM in crises. A number of future research guidelines are presented, which may encourage more research in this crucial field of study.

Knowledge Leakages and Ways to Reduce Them in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)
(2014-09) Durst, Susanne; Aisenberg Ferenhof, Helio; Department of Business and Economics
In this paper, we look into knowledge leakages and ways to address them. It is conducted from the point of view of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as their specific attributes create unique challenges. Based on a discussion of the relevant fields, ways are presented in order to reduce the danger of knowledge leakages. In view of practitioners, the paper’s findings may enable an increased awareness towards the areas where existing knowledge is at the mercy of “leakage”. This can assist managers of SMEs to better cope with risks related to knowledge leakage and, therefore, better exploit the (limited) knowledge base available.

What can be approximated locally? Case study : Dominating sets in planar graphs
(2008) Lenzen, Christoph; Oswald, Yvonne Anne; Wattenhofer, Roger; Department of Computer Science
Whether local algorithms can compute constant approximations of NP-hard problems is of both practical and theoretical interest. So far, no algorithms achieving this goal are known, as either the approximation ratio or the running time exceed O(l), or the nodes are provided with non-trivial additional information. In this paper, we present the first distributed algorithm approximating a minimum dominating set on a planar graph within a constant factor in constant time. Moreover, the nodes do not need any additional information.

School Phone Bans and Adolescent Mental Health in Iceland
(2026-10-01) Bonilla Aparicio, Elena; Sigmarsdottir, Berglind; Haskell, Erin; Sirotina, Ulyana; Sveinbjornsdottir, Berglind; Asgeirsdottir, Bryndis Bjork; Valdimarsdottir, Heiddis Bjork; Odgers, Candice Lynn; Sigfusdottir, Inga Dora; Allegrante, John Philip; Halldorsdottir, Thorhildur; Department of Business and Economics; Department of Psychology
Importance Concerns about adolescent smartphone use and mental health have prompted many schools to implement mobile phone bans, but evidence of their effects remains mixed. Objective To examine whether schoolwide mobile phone bans were associated with changes in mental health and associated social and behavioral outcomes among adolescents in Iceland. Design, Setting, and Participants This repeated cross-sectional study used difference-in-differences analyses of data from 70 schools across 3 waves of the nationwide Youth in Iceland school survey. The surveys were administered to adolescents aged 13 to 15 years in February 2016, February 2018, and November 2023. Analyses were conducted from February 1, 2025, to January 30, 2026. Exposure Schoolwide mobile phone bans prohibiting student phone use during school hours. Between 2018 and 2023, 22 of 70 schools implemented a phone ban. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcomes were depressive symptoms, anxiety, hostility, and mental well-being. Secondary outcomes were perceived peer support, screen use (social media use, gaming alone, gaming with friends, and video watching), and bullying (in person and cyberbullying). Results Among 23 938 adolescent observations across the 3 study years, 11 964 (50.0%) were boys; the mean (SD) age was 13.98 (0.82) years. In the postpolicy period from 2018 to 2023, schoolwide mobile phone bans were not associated with meaningful changes in depressive symptoms (β, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.01-1.30]), anxiety (β, 0.21 [95% CI, −0.08 to 0.50]), hostility (β, 0.23 [95% CI, −0.12 to 0.59]), and mental well-being (β, −0.52 [95% CI, −1.08 to 0.03]). Results were similar in gender-stratified analyses and for the secondary outcomes. Sensitivity analyses examining timing of implementation and more stringent phone restriction criteria were consistent with the main findings. Conclusions and Relevance In this repeated cross-sectional study of adolescents in Iceland, schoolwide mobile phone bans were not associated with meaningful changes in adolescent mental health or related social and behavioral outcomes. These findings suggest that school phone bans implemented in isolation may be insufficient to improve adolescent mental health at the population level.
