TL;DR: This paper showed that facial appearance plays only a small or a very limited role in observers' selection of leaders, and that the facial appearance should play a very small or no role at all.
Abstract: Given what we know about the predictors of leaders’ ability, facial appearance should play a small or a very limited role in observers’ selection of leaders; however, research convincingly shows ot...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss some of the methodological problems that field researchers will face when conducting research on the field, especially in intercultural work contexts, such as the choice of methodology/s, confidentiality, the nature of the involvement of the researcher, making use of multi-method approaches, the comparability of analytical categories across different languages and culture.
Abstract: In this article we will attempt to address some of the issues that arise in researching politeness in the workplace, especially, though not exclusively, in the context of multicultural and multilingual encounters. We propose to look at debates around the nature of politeness and their relevance for research in work settings and to discuss the contribution made to these debates by analyses of politeness in the workplace. Finally, we will discuss some of the methodological problems that field researchers will face when conducting research on the field, especially in intercultural work contexts. These will include, for example, issues such as the choice of methodology/s, confidentiality, the nature of the involvement of the researcher, making use of multi-method approaches, the comparability of analytical categories across different languages and culture. Finally, we suggest, very briefly, some directions for further research.

TL;DR: In this paper , a black phosphorus-polydopamine (BP-MXene) nanohybrid was synthesized to enhance the flame-retardant properties of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer.
Abstract: • A black phosphorus-MXene@polydopamine nanohybrid was synthesized. • The TPU/BP-MXene@PDA nanocomposite simultaneously showed reinforcing and toughening effects towards TPU. • The TPU/BP-MXene@PDA nanocomposite could be achieved excellent thermal stability, mechanical properties and flame retardancy. • A synergistic flame-retardant mechanism between black phosphorus and MXene in the TPU were discussed and clarified. Black phosphorus (BP), as one of the most promising fillers for flame retarding polymer, has been seriously limited in practical application, due to the agglomeration and poor structural stability challenges. Here, the BP was modified by MXene and polydopamine (PDA) via ultrasonication and dopamine modification strategy to improve the structural stability and dispersibility in the matrix. Then, the obtained (BP-MXene@PDA) nanohybrid was employed to promote the mechanical performance, thermal stability, and flame retardancy of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). The resultant TPU composite containing 2 wt.% of BP1-MXene2@PDA showed a 19.2% improvement in the tensile strength and a 13.8% increase in the elongation at break compared to those of the pure TPU. The thermogravimetric analysis suggested that BP-MXene@PDA clearly enhances the thermal stability of TPU composites. Furthermore, the introduction of the BP-MXene@PDA nanohybrids could considerably improve the flame retardancy of TPU composite, i.e., 64.2% and 27.3% decrease in peak heat release rate and total heat release, respectively. The flame-retardant mechanisms of TPU/BP-MXene@PDA in the gas phase and condensed phase were investigated systematically. This work provides a novel strategy to simultaneously enhance the fire safety and mechanical properties of TPU, thus expanding its industrial applications.
