“…Figure 2 illustrates earth-lime mortar and remnants of pure lime basecoat plaster, in Normandy, while Figure 3 illustrates a typical hot mixed lime-sand mortar, in this case in British Columbia. Callebaut (2000) was the first in a laboratory context to make a connection already made by numerous craftspeople such as Patrick McAfee (1997;1999), disproving previous opinions (Bakolas et al 1995) that residual lumps were comprised of the thin, soft calcite crust that would form upon the surface of laid down lime putty, incorporated when this putty was mixed with aggregates to form a mortar. How such low volumes of soft calcite crust might account for such high volumes of hard residual lime lumps in actual mortars was seemingly not considered.…”

This paper seeks to summarise recent major shifts in the understanding of the nature and provenance of traditional mortars, the nature of the lime most used for the preparation of these mortars, as well as the methodology of the crafts in their preparation. It draws upon the author's experience of designing and using such mortars over a 20-year period, but also upon extensive research into old texts about lime and mortars written over the last 2,000 years, as well as upon extensive analysis of primary building accounts from England and elsewhere. It also references an expanding body of academic research in the characterisation of composition, as well as of the performance of such mortars, itself a significant shift in focus and understanding. It will set out the primacy of the quicklime slaking method in the delivery of successful mortar performance, optimal in the context of traditional building technology, and will reiterate the absolute importance of observing traditional lime choices, slaking method, rules and mortar proportion in the achievement of durable mortars of optimal performance for the like-for-like and compatible repair of traditional buildings of all kinds and status.

Job Satisfaction of Employees with Disabilities: The Role of Perceived Structural Flexibility

With this article we contribute to the inclusion of employees with disabilities in the workplace. Based on Stone and Colella's (1996) model of factors affecting the treatment of employees with disabilities in organizations, we concentrate on the investigation of job satisfaction as a focal affective response. Besides examining job satisfaction differences between employees with and without disabilities, we focus on perceived flexibility as an organizational boundary condition, arguing for its influence on the job satisfaction of employees with disabilities. We introduce perceived centralization and formalization, representing different indicators of flexibility, as moderators of the disability–job satisfaction relationship. Regression analysis using data from 110 small and medium‐sized companies with 4,141 employees reveals that employees with disabilities are less satisfied than their colleagues without disabilities in highly centralized environments. As predicted, a decentralized organizational context relates to higher job satisfaction levels for all employees, but especially for those having a disability. Contrary to our hypothesis, perceived formalization does not significantly influence the relationship between having a disability and job satisfaction. However, our results clearly indicate the need for companies and especially human resource departments to better adapt to the needs of people with disabilities by creating flexible working environments. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Disability status, individual variable pay, and pay satisfaction: Does relational and institutional trust make a difference?

Although prior research suggests that disabled employees have different needs in the context of some HRM practices, we know little about their reactions to reward systems. We address this gap in the literature by testing a model using the 2011 British Workplace Employee Relations Survey (disabled employees, n = 1,251; nondisabled employees, n = 9,959; workplaces, n = 1,806) and find that disabled employees report lower levels of pay satisfaction than nondisabled employees, and when compensated based on individual performance, the difference in pay satisfaction is larger. We suggest that relational (derived from trust in management) and institutional (derived from firm‐wide policies and HRM practices, both intended to provide equitable treatment to disabled employees) forms of trust play important roles. The results of multilevel analyses show that when trust in management is high, the difference in pay satisfaction under variable pay is reduced. We find just the opposite for employees who work in organizations with a formal disability policy but without supportive HRM practices; the gap in pay satisfaction is exacerbated. However, the combination of the presence of a firm‐wide policy and HRM practices reduced the difference in pay satisfaction. Implications of the findings for theory, future research, and management practice are discussed.
