91亚色 professors聽听补苍诲听聽of the School of Administrative Studies (SAS) in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, in partnership with the Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service (VFRS) and along with co-researchers聽Janithra Wimaladasa,听Maryam Shafiei Sabet听补苍诲听Michael Ing, have reported the findings in the聽.

The researchers found significant decreases in the number of emergency calls during the COVID-19 pandemic, with vehicle-related incidents showing the biggest declines. Changes in daily and hourly patterns appear consistent with public health measures in place during various stages of the pandemic.

鈥淭he pattern shifts are not surprising and reflect a proportionate decline in call volumes and change in call types directly related to mandatory public health measures,鈥� says Andrew Zvanitajs, VFRS fire chief.

Temporal data analytics methods were used to investigate changes in the number and nature of emergency incidents through various stages of the pandemic and associated public health measures. The study leverages the emergency incident and response dataset of VFRS (which includes a record of every emergency incident responded to by VFRS from January 2009 onwards) by comparing incident/response data prior to the pandemic with updates following the various stages of the pandemic.

The dataset covers various incident and response attributes, including: alarm time, location, incident/response type (e.g. fires, false fire alarms, vehicle collisions, medical calls of various types etc.) and property type. In 2019, for instance, there were more than 11,300 emergency incidents recorded.

"Our research team is currently preparing a report on our ongoing spatial and spatiotemporal analyses of the emergency incidents in the city of Vaughan, involving additional COVID-19 phases beyond the six covered in the first manuscript on our temporal analyses," says Solis. "Our analyses have shown, and will likely continue to indicate, interesting patterns that may offer operational insights for the VFRS management team as phases of the pandemic and associated public health measures unfold.鈥�

The study was conducted in connection with the project "COVID-19: Building disaster preparedness and resilience via analytics of a fire department's responses to emergency incidents in a pandemic 鈥� Case of Vaughan, Ontario," which is funded under the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Partnership Engage Grants COVID-19 Special Initiative, with Solis as principal investigator and Asgary as co-investigator. The project actively involves the VFRS as partner organization.

The research work was designed to enable evidence-based planning and decision making with respect to disaster and emergency mitigation, preparedness, and response strategies and initiatives, and to help build longer-term community resilience and disaster/emergency preparedness for the city of Vaughan.

Believed to be the first to analyze emergency incident response data during the COVID-19 pandemic, says Solis, the initial study report concludes that the pandemic has had a significant impact on the demand for emergency services provided by the VFRS. The analysis may be replicated for other municipal fire and rescue services, which could generate further insights applicable to specific local conditions and stages of the pandemic.

When the study was initiated in fall 2020, Wimaladasa was a graduate student in the SAS Master of Disaster and Emergency Management (MDEM) program. She has since completed the MDEM degree, in June 2021. Sabet, who received the MDEM degree in 2019 and is currently an adjunct faculty member at Sir Sandford Fleming College of Applied Arts and Technology, is a research collaborator. Ing is assistant deputy fire chief of VFRS and is an active participant in the 91亚色-VFRS research partnership.

Asgary and Solis were previously engaged in a joint research project with VFRS called "Igniting Insight: Using GIS and Analytics in the Fire Service," which was given the 2019 Innovative Management Bronze Award from the Institute of Public Administration of Canada. In recognition of their participation in that earlier project, they were both named as 2019 91亚色 Research Leaders.

The journal compiled a list of the 51 most cited articles over its 30-year history, with over 100 volumes published. Schwartz's article "The Nature of the Relationship Between Corporate Codes of Ethics and Behaviour", published in 2001, was the 36th most cited article out of 4,747 articles published in the last three decades.

"It is a great honour to receive this award," said Schwartz, who teaches in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies. 鈥淭he article was based on my PhD dissertation research where I interviewed 57 managers, employees and ethics officers at four large Canadian corporations to try to determine if corporate codes of ethics impact ethical behaviour in the workplace.鈥�

According to Alex Michalos, editor-in-chief of the , "Citation classics have been defined as articles whose frequency of being cited is at least four standard deviations above the mean." Michalos notes that Schwartz's article "is a significantly important contribution to the field of business ethics and as such is included in the list of citation classics."

In his new book, , Professor (right) clarifies the fundamentals and importance of CSR and details how a conscientious way of doing business is possible in today鈥檚 profit-driven world.

As a teacher of business ethics and corporate social responsibility at the School of Administrative Studies in 91亚色鈥檚 Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, Schwartz felt that students needed a book that examined the ethical obligations of a business and which approach is the most appropriate for a company.

鈥淏usiness students 鈥� when they end up becoming managers, executives and CEOs of their company 鈥� are going to be making important decisions,鈥� explains Schwartz. 鈥淚t鈥檚 critical for them to have a theoretical position on this debate, which will help guide them to more ethical and socially responsible decisions.鈥�

In his book, Schwartz focuses on several aspects to clarify CSR: the key moral standards that need to be applied in a business decision; the debate between narrow (or profit-based) CSR and broader (or ethics-based) CSR; an examination of the separate and intertwined economic, legal and ethical obligations of a company; and the belief that companies need to engage in providing goods and services that generate value to society in a balanced manner, while remaining accountable to stakeholders.

Looking at four classic, high-profile case studies 鈥� the , , and 鈥� students can apply their own ethical beliefs to decide on the best outcome. 鈥淢any students may discover their theoretical position doesn鈥檛 match what they would do when faced with a real business case,鈥� says Schwartz. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 the main goal of the book: to force students or managers to realize there are implications with their position on social responsibility.鈥�

Movie villain Gordon Gekko鈥檚 鈥済reed is good鈥� credo and the rise of Wall Street showed us the conflict between making money and being ethical; it鈥檚 a constant struggle in business. With MBA graduates entering the workforce in unprecedented numbers, how can we expect business people to choose? In his book, Schwartz proves they don鈥檛 have to.

鈥淏usiness students should make money 鈥� it鈥檚 OK to make money. I think the real question is prioritization,鈥� says Schwartz. 鈥淎re you maximizing profit at the expense of harming others? Students need to recognize that they have ethical obligations when they go out into the workplace.鈥�

Although Schwartz recognizes that 鈥済ood CSR does not always maximize the bottom line,鈥� it鈥檚 the long-term effects on the business, its employees, customers and the environment that should be taken into consideration. 鈥淓thics should still take priority to the bottom line when there is a conflict,鈥� he says.

Listen to Schwartz speak about his book:

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJMpw1ebVos

CSR can be complex, with room for potential misinterpretation. By demystifying the topic, Schwartz聽has provided students with information they need to聽grasp the concepts and understand how to implement them successfully. Armed with this knowledge, students choose their own way of achieving ethics in business.

鈥淭here is a need for a greater awareness in terms of what the ethical obligations are. It鈥檚 not simply maximizing the bottom line and abiding by the law. Ethics goes beyond the law.鈥�

According to professor of organizational behaviour in the School of Administrative Studies and the School of Human Resource Management at 91亚色 [Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies], telework, or telecommuting, is increasing dramatically in many countries as organizations seek to reduce costs and individuals look to be more flexible in their working arrangements.

However, while there are many benefits ranging from greater flexibility for employees and improved performance for employers, Richardson also pointed out several concerns associated with telework, including isolation, blurring of boundaries between home and work, and loss of control over employees.

While telework isn't a new phenomenon, thanks to the rapid rise of computer networking, it's one trend that's being watched closely, said , professor in the School of Human Resource Management at 91亚色. "And the trend is here to stay," she said, adding there's a drive to get more out of workers by not having them commute to work.

"If you look at the best places to work on the Fortune 100 list, most of them offer some kind of flexibility," Ezzedeen said. "It's a reflection of the changing nature of our social values and norms. It challenges our notion of what does it take to produce good work? Is this the end of the job as we know it?"

Best Buy may be lauded for its revolutionary "results-only work environment", which measures performance on output instead of hours spent at the office, but managing a virtual team comes with numerous implications and challenges, including dealing with conflict, managing performance and issues of measurement, Ezzedeen said.

Official estimates suggest 10,000 people have died, although the police chief of the hard-hit Miyagi prefecture said this week he expects the toll to exceed that in his region alone. Official numbers released Wednesday confirm 4,314 deaths and 8,606 still missing. The National Post鈥檚 Aileen Donnelly asked , professor in 91亚色鈥檚 Disaster & Emergency Management Program, how death tolls are estimated and recorded after a catastrophe and why the figures vary.

Q: How are death toll estimates determined?

A: Estimates come through computer models, or through expert judgment. In Japan they have a system called the National Disaster Information System that has all the information about population and infrastructure in different parts of the country. As soon as something happens, they can run the model and figure out how much damage and how many potential losses they might have鈥�. As time goes on, the model could become better by receiving actual or real information, for example, the exact magnitude of the earthquake. When [computer modelling] is not available, like in developing countries, what they do is they rely on expert judgment, [which] is not as accurate.

Q: How do experts estimate deaths without a computer model?

A: Rapid assessment is usually based on several factors: the population in the area that has been impacted and the damage or loss ratio for different earthquake magnitudes. This is a ratio they use for the number of casualties per different [earthquake] magnitudes in different physical environments. In Japan, another factor they often use is a ratio of number of fatalities to number of injured people. [The ratio there] is about 45, which means for every 45 injured people, you will have about one dead person鈥�. These are the factors experts use. These are based on past experience, the existing population number and the building type and structure they have in the area. [Experts] might not need to go into the field to figure out how many people have been killed. They usually use the knowledge that they have about the area. But, by going there, it helps to make the estimate closer to the actual number.

Q: Why do you think the Japanese government has avoided releasing estimates?

A: Having an accurate estimation of dead people is not going to do a lot at this point. And that is probably why [the government is sticking] with the actual [count of] bodies. From an emergency management point of view, we look for the survivors and find out what their needs are and how we can help them鈥�. I think people are cautious about providing numbers [now] because it鈥檚 not only an earthquake, it鈥檚 not only a tsunami, it鈥檚 a combination of different hazards hitting the country at the same time. Plus, we have the evacuation going on for the nuclear issues.

At the Oil: Slick Suits and Sinister Scenarios symposium tomorrow, leading researchers in risk, disaster management, ethics and the environment will provide insights into the murky world of oil and the need聽to prepare聽for聽a聽potential disaster.

The symposium will take place, from noon to 2pm, in the Crowe Room, 109 Atkinson Building, Keele campus. Everyone is welcome.

91亚色 law, governance and ethics Professor Mark Schwartz (right) will discuss the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, which caused the largest off shore spill in聽the history of the United States. Schwartz will present an ethical critique of BP and speak about the importance of ethical crisis management and the lessons for Canadian oil producers.

Environmental studies Professor Gail Fraser (left) will compare the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico and its estimated impacts on marine birds to that of a much smaller spill in offshore Newfoundland.聽She will argue that cumulatively smaller, more frequent oil spills off the coast of Newfoundland have likely resulted in higher seabird mortalities compared to the very large single spill in the Gulf of Mexico, because oil breaks down more slowly in cold water and the species composition is different.

Fraser underscores the importance of having baseline data to estimate the impact of oil spills and discusses current challenges in NL regarding access to information relevant to oil spills.

Emergency management Professor Ali Asgary will examine the Canadian emergency preparedness and response capacities and gaps in dealing with large-scale oil spills. He is co-investigator of a recently completed project, 鈥淩eal-time Detection of Oil Spills鈥�, funded by the Natural Sciences & Engineering Research Council of Canada, which developed an expert system for rapid risk assessment of pipeline based oil and gas spills to be used by emergency response teams.

Right: Ali Asgary

Asgary's areas of research include disaster and emergency response, business continuity, development and applications of geographic information systems and agent-based modelling in disaster and emergency management.

Fraser鈥檚 research focuses on issues around the ecology and management of avian wildlife, and the environmental management of the extractive industries of oil and gas.

Schwartz is co-author of the textbook Business Ethics: Readings and Cases in Corporate Morality (McGraw Hill, 2000) and the author of Corporate Social Responsibility: An Ethical Approach (Broadview Press, 2011).

Joanne Jones, a professor of audit and management information systems in 91亚色鈥檚 School of Administrative Studies, will moderate the discussion.
