Biodiversity based solutions for the support of ecosystem services, provided by urban green infrastructure
Authors: Радомська М. М.
Published: January 2023

Compact living of the population in the territory of modern cities on the one hand increases requirements for the quality of environmental conditions, and on the other hand creates an excessive load on the city ecosystem. Green spaces are the main providers of ecosystem services in cities, as urban fauna represented by a very limited number of species. The quality and range of ecosystems of their services, which provided by natural plant associations and urban green spaces, is significantly different and affected by human activity. The assessment of the quality of provision of ecosystem services by the parks of the left bank of the city was carried out Kyiv. At the first stage of the work, an assessment of the potential of service provision was carried out according to 10 criteria. At the second stage, the ratio between cultural and regulatory ecosystem services provided by the parks was performed using pair-wise weighted evaluation. The assessment results show that large, little-altered forest parks provide the highest degree of services, in which regulatory services dominate over recreational ones. Along with this, small lakes ecosystems under the condition of limited recreational improvement and use can also provide more services of a regulatory nature. Traditionally, the main means of ensuring the ecosystems services and adaptation of cities to the conditions of a changing climate are nature-based solutions. Given the scarcity of free space, such solutions include a number of conceptually new approaches that provide maximum involvement of spatial resources of the city, in particular walls and roofs. Such decisions are important and effective, but technical aspects may delay their implementation. Under such conditions it is proposed to pay attention to biodiversity-based solutions, i.e. increasing species richness in already existing facilities to improve the quality of the provided services in general and increase the weight of regulatory services. The attention should be paid to increasing the diversity of species and communities. The increase in species diversity can be implemented in planned manner maintenance of existing plantations taking into account not only the tolerance of the selected species, but also in accordance with their functional role. This will contribute to the expansion of ecological niches of plantations and natural processes of diversification.

Data mining is a series of processes to obtain additional value information that is not known manually from a database. Data mining also manages experience or even mistakes in the past to improve the quality of the analysis model, one of which is the learning ability of data mining techniques, namely classification. Class is a learning task that is a new object into one of the class labels or categories on the old object that has been previously defined. This classification uses one method of data mining algorithm that is Naive Bayes.Naive Bayes algorithm works based on a certain distance between two objects by setting the value of k. The value of k is a parameter to determine the distance between the new object to the old object.By using the data mining technique, the university can obtain student academic data, namely the Achievement Index (IP) to predict the student's study period.In this data mining application consists of data testing and data training with NIM input.PHP and the database used is MySQL.The results of this data mining application this system can predict the results of the classification of student study period based on GPA 4 first semester, the average value of high school time, and grades in high school.

Noise Assessment during Motor Race Events: New Approach and Innovative Indicators
Authors: Mascolo Aurora , Rossi Domenico , Pascale Antonio , Mancini Simona , Coelho Margarida C. , Guarnaccia Claudio
Published: January 2023

Motorsport races significantly affect, on a local scale, noise pollution even if they do not represent the majority of its contribution, which is a prerogative of road transportation, railways, airports, and industries. Nevertheless, such noise emissions surely affect the well-being of inhabitants in the surrounding area of the circuit. In fact, during a motor race event, vehicles produce high noise emissions while on tests, qualifying, and race sessions. Since noise indicators commonly used in national regulations are computed over fixed times, it is challenging to properly assess the total noise emission and immission at the receivers during such events. Moreover, in literature, only a few works can be found assessing this specific issue, and consequently, there’s also a lack of appropriate methods to properly measure the global noise emission of each event. In this contribution, the authors report the characterization of noise emission during motor race events by using two new acoustic indicators, namely LEL (Lap Equivalent Level) and REL (Race Equivalent Level) starting from noise data collected on different points along a racing circuit. Measurements show that the REL tends to stabilize its value during a race, suggesting that its modelling can be achieved only based on the average LEL and the number of vehicles participating in a race. These indicators will allow predicting the total noise emission at a certain receiver of a motor race event by knowing the number and type of cars involved, without using the duration of the race itself.

Interference between items stored for distinct tasks in visual working memory
Authors: Czoschke Stefan , Peters Benjamin , Kaiser Jochen , Bledowski Christoph
Published: January 2023

The action perspective on working memory suggests that memory representations are coded according to their specific temporal and behavioral task demands. This stands in contrast to theories that assume representations are stored in a task-agnostic format within a “common workspace”. Here, we tested whether visual items that are memorized for different tasks are stored separately from one another or show evidence of inter-item interference during concurrent maintenance, indicating a common storage. In two experiments, we combined a framing memory task (memorize a motion direction for continuous direction report) with an embedded memory task (memorize a motion direction for a binary direction discrimination) that was placed within the retention period of the framing task. Even though the temporal and action demands were item specific, we observed two types of interference effects between the items: The embedded motion direction was (1) repulsed away and (2) degraded in precision by the motion direction of the item in the framing task. Repulsion and precision degradation increased with item similarity when both items were concurrently held in working memory. In contrast, perceptual and iconic memory control conditions revealed weaker repulsion overall and no interference effect on precision during the stimulus processing stages prior to working memory consolidation. Thus, additional inter-item interference arose uniquely within working memory. Together, our results present evidence that items that are stored for distinct tasks to be performed at distinct points in time, reside in a common workspace in working memory.

Published: February 2023

Проведен анализ этических норм как правил и предписаний, регулирующих работу с информацией, с целью раскрытия их потенциала в формировании у студентов ключевых ценностей академической морали. Актуальность исследования определяется уникальной ролью педагогической среды вуза в формировании таких ценностей и их значением для всей последующей профессиональной карьеры выпускников. В исследовании применены методы теоретического анализа литературы, библиометрии, обобщения, систематизации и сравнения. Исследование содержания этических норм показало, что целенаправленное, последовательное и неукоснительное следование этим нормам выступает детерминантой успешного формирования у студентов академических ценностей честности, уважения и ответственности. Как результат исследования представлена описательная характеристика двух уровней вузовского пространства академических ценностей: фундаментального и репрезентации, которые находятся в динамичном взаимодействии. Фундированные ранее индикаторы академических ценностей на уровне их репрезентации раскрыты через нормы работы студентов с информацией. Структура пространства таких конкретных ценностей, как честность, уважение и ответственность, визуализирована на схемах. Подробно описаны основные виды нарушений норм работы студентов с информацией, также сконцентрированные под эгидой академических ценностей.

The article analyzes ethical norms as rulesthat regulate information processing in order to investigate their potential as a prerequisite to fostering the values of academic ethics in students. The relevance of the research is predetermined by the unique role university teachers play in the development of academic ethics as a key ingredient of career success.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON
WORK-LIFE-BALANCE IN WORK FROM HOME SCENARIO
Authors: Gurung Shabnam
Published: January 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought a drastic change in the working pattern of work everywhere in various organizations and has also affected the individual’s life. This pandemic has come out with the concept of New Normal and work-from-home is now a normal concept among people. The purpose of this research paper is to understand the impact on work-life balance in work from home scenario due to the Covid-19 pandemic and also study the job satisfaction of the employees while working from home. The researcher has collected the data from 400 respondents who are working in the education sector, information technology sector and communication sector in Maharashtra, India. These samples were selected by the Stratified Random Sampling Method. This research focuses on the various problems faced by the employees while working from home and also study the impact of these problems on performance and efficiency of the employees. Instead of staying productive and self-motivated while work-from-home respondents were actually struggling to maintain the balance between professional and personal life. The cut-off in salary and fear of losing a job due to this pandemic becomes one of the reasons for employee’s job dissatisfaction.
Asteroseismology of the Pulsating Extremely Low-mass White Dwarf SDSS J111215.82 + 111745.0: A Model with p-mode Pulsations Consistent with the Observations
Authors: Su 苏 Jie 杰 , Li 李 Yan 焱
Published: January 2023

SDSS J111215.82+111745.0 is the second pulsating extremely low-mass white dwarf discovered. Two short-period pulsations, 107.56 and 134.275 s, were detected on this star, which would be the first observed pressure mode (p-mode) pulsations observed on a white dwarf. While the two potential p-modes have yet to be confirmed, they make SDSS J111215.82+111745.0 an interesting object. In this work, we analyzed the whole set of seven periods observed on SDSS J111215.82+111745.0. We adopt three independent period-spacing tests to reveal a roughly 93.4 s mean period spacing of ℓ = 1 g-modes, which gives added credence to the ℓ = 1 identifications. Then we perform asteroseismic modeling for this star, in which the H chemical profile is taken as a variable. The stellar parameters M = 0.1650 ± 0.0137 M
☉ and T
eff = 9750 ± 560 K are determined from the best-fit model, and the H/He chemical profiles are also defined. The two suspected p-modes are also well represented in the best-fit model, and both the stellar parameters and the pulsation frequencies are in good agreement with the values derived from spectroscopy.
Orbital Migration of Protoplanets in a Marginally Gravitationally Unstable Disk. II. Migration, Merging, and Ejection
Authors: Boss Alan P.
Published: January 2023

Protoplanets formed in a marginally gravitationally unstable (MGU) disk by either core accretion or disk instability will be subject to dynamical interactions with massive spiral arms, possibly resulting in inward or outward orbital migration, mergers with each other, or even outright ejection from the protoplanetary system. The latter process has been hypothesized as a possible formation scenario for the unexpectedly high frequency of unbound gas giant exoplanets (free floating planets, FFPs). Previous calculations with the EDTONS fixed grid three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamics code found that protoplanets with masses from 0.01 M
⊕ to 3 M
Jup could undergo chaotic orbital evolutions in MGU disks for ∼1000 yr without undergoing monotonic inward or outward migration. Here the Enzo 2.5 adaptive mesh refinement 3D hydrodynamics code is used to follow the formation and orbital evolution of protoplanets in MGU disks for up to 2000 yr. The Enzo results confirm the basic disk fragmentation results of the EDTONS code, as well as the absence of monotonic inward or outward orbital migration. In addition, Enzo allows protoplanet mergers to occur, unlike EDTONS, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of protoplanets that survive for 1000–2000 yr in the Enzo models. These models also imply that gas giants should be ejected frequently in MGU disks that fragment into large numbers of protoplanets, supporting ejection as a possible source mechanism for the observed FFPs.
New species of Tanaidacea from Cretaceous Kachin amber, with a brief review of the fossil record of tanaidacean crustaceans
Authors: Pazinato Paula G. , Müller Patrick , Haug Joachim T.
Published: January 2023

Tanaidaceans are benthic, mostly marine, crustaceans that live burrowed in the substrate or in self-built tubes. The fossil record of Tanaidacea reaches back to the Carboniferous, 350 million years ago, but it is especially species-rich in Cretaceous amber sites from Spain and France. We report and formally describe a new species of Tanaidacea from 100-million-year-old Kachin amber, from the Hukawng Valley, Northern Myanmar, the first record of Cretaceous tanaidaceans outside Europe. The combination of character states of Tanaidaurum kachinensisgen. nov. et sp. nov. suggests that the new species is a representative of the early diversification of an unnamed group (Paratanaoidea+Tanaidoidea), an ingroup of the monophyletic group Tanaidomorpha. We briefly review the biased fossil record of Tanaidacea and present its abundance in European amber sites.

Clarifying organizational identity: The work of spirituality and the role of the consultant
Authors: Gautier Éric , Moriez David Christophe , Voynnet Fourboul Catherine
Published: January 2023

Définir la raison d’être d’une organisation est un acte fondateur puisqu’il permet de faire sens de ses actions. Cette responsabilité incombe, en premier lieu, aux membres de l’équipe de direction (TMT), qui sont chargés, à travers les orientations stratégiques qu’ils définissent, de veiller à ce que l’identité organisationnelle (IO) soit correctement traduite en actions. Cependant, leur conscience de l’IO n’est pas toujours immédiate et peut nécessiter l’aide d’un consultant pour la clarifier. Cette recherche qualitative s’appuie sur l’observation participante de consultants utilisant un outil pour révéler la singularité de leurs entreprises clientes et les résultats de 35 entretiens avec des membres de la TMT ayant participé à cet exercice. Elle vise à détecter la place de la spiritualité par l’entremise du consultant dans l’accès au sens. Les résultats montrent que les membres de la TMT effectuent un voyage intérieur d’approfondissement et d’alignement sur ce qui constitue la singularité de leur organisation. Ce faisant, ils peuvent mieux définir le cadre de l’action stratégique et managériale en formalisant les principes rationnels, émotionnels et également spirituels de gestion.
Les vulnérabilités de jeunes ruraux précaires : comparaison entre des jeunes nomades saisonniers viticoles et des jeunes non diplômés en milieu rural néo-aquitain
Authors: Reversé Clément , Auger Émilie
Published: January 2023

Résumé : Bien que les recherches s’intéressent de plus en plus aux problématiques liées à la jeunesse en milieu rural, les jeunes circulant dans les espaces ruraux sont encore sous-étudiés et font partie d’une jeunesse invisibilisée qui peine à faire entendre sa voix dans la sphère publique. Pour autant, ces jeunes méritent notre intérêt du fait qu’ils vivent, ou circulent, dans des espaces ruraux hétérogènes qui sont intégrés aux enjeux professionnels et économiques globalisés et libéralisés de notre société contemporaine. Dans ce contexte particulier, l’article s’intéresse aux convergences et aux multiplications des vulnérabilités induites ainsi qu’à leurs particularités telles qu’elles sont vécues par des jeunes non diplômés et des jeunes nomades saisonniers viticoles vivant, ou circulant, dans des espaces ruraux de Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Despite technological developments and regulatory improvements, most actors in the insect sector still face many challenges and uncertainties. While previous research mainly focused on the perception of domain-specific challenges and risks or has been limited to specific stages in the supply chain, this study aims to determine how stakeholders perceive the importance of past barriers and future risks along European insect supply chains, and to identify the applied risk management strategies. Data were collected from stakeholders across four stages of the supply chain (rearers (n=23), processors (n=8), and insect derived feed (n=14), and food (n=12) producers) through an online survey. In total, 60 different barriers and risks, as well as 20 different risk management strategies, were evaluated. We find that stakeholders across all stages of the supply chain perceived ‘financial, cost and market’ barriers and risks as most important, specifically referring to the lack of financial investments and price and demand uncertainties. In addition, legal restrictions were perceived to constrain upscaling opportunities across all supply chain stages. Worker and food safety barriers were generally perceived as least important. The main risk management strategies across all stages of the supply chain related to investments in technologies enhancing stability of both the quality and the quantity of insects and derived products. Stakeholders were most optimistic about the future reduction of ‘operational’ and ‘financial, cost and market’ risks. To further stimulate upscaling of the sector, we recommend to enhance financing opportunities, and to improve authorisations for the use of different substrates and the production of a wider set of insect-based ingredients for feed and food products.
Evaluation of Education and Patient Screening for Delirium Among Patients With Stroke: Knowledge, Confidence, and Patient Outcomes
Authors: Herrera Eloisa , Rutherford Wendy , Plume Tracy , Fields Willa , Mollon Deene
Published: January 2023

Background:

Clinical staff showed a knowledge deficit with identifying and managing delirium. The effect of a validated assessment tool and delirium education on staff knowledge and confidence and patient outcomes was analyzed.

Method:

A descriptive qualitative and quantitative pre- and postintervention study analyzed the demographics of patients with stroke and clinical outcomes pre- and postimplementation of an assessment tool and delirium staff education.

Results:

Early and frequent delirium assessments, use of an assessment tool, a delirium order set, and education for clinical staff resulted in increased knowledge and confidence with identifying and managing patients with stroke, an increase in the number of patients with stroke discharged home, and decreased incidence of hospital-acquired urinary tract infection and pneumonia.

Conclusion:

Delirium education positively impacts staff knowledge and confidence with the identification and management of delirium. Patients with an acute stroke may benefit from early and frequent delirium assessments. Staff education, structured assessment frequency with a validated assessment tool, and specific interventions affect patient outcomes, such as infection rates and discharge level of care.

Comparison of Differences in Surgical Complications Between Fellowship-Trained Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgeons and All Other Orthopedic Surgeons Using the ABOS Database
Authors: Ottesen Taylor D. , Pathak Neil , Mercier Michael R. , Kirwin David S. , Lukasiewicz Adam M. , Grauer Jonathan N. , Rubin Lee E.
Published: January 2023

During the past decade, US orthopedic residency graduates have become increasingly subspecialized presumably for decreased patient complications; however, no study has examined this clinical utility for foot and ankle (F&A) surgeries among different fellowship subspecialties. Data from American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery 1999 to 2016 Part II Board Certification Examinations were used to assess patients treated by F&A fellowship-trained, trauma fellowship-trained, and all other fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons performing ankle fracture repair. Adverse events were compared by surgical complexity and fellowship status. Factors independently associated with surgical complications were identified using a binary multivariate logistic regression. A total of 45,031 F&A cases met inclusion criteria. From 1999 to 2016, the percentage of F&A procedures performed by F&A fellowship surgeons steadily increased. Surgical complications were significantly different between fellowship trainings (F&A, 7.23%; trauma, 6.65%; and other, 7.84%). This difference became more pronounced with more complicated fracture pattern. On multivariate regression, F&A fellowship training was associated with significantly decreased likelihood of surgeon-reported complications (odds ratio, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.76–0.92;
P
<.001), as was trauma fellowship training (odds ratio, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.81–0.99;
P
=.035). Despite presumed increased complexity of cases treated by F&A fellowship-trained surgeons, these patients had significantly decreased risk of surgeon-reported surgical complications, thus highlighting the value of F&A fellowship training. In the absence of vital patient comorbidity data in the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery database, further research must examine specific patient comorbidities and case acuity and their influence on treatments and surgical complications between fellowship-trained and other orthopedic surgeons to further illuminate the value of subspecialty training.

Different signal transduction pathways contribute to the differentiation and metabolic activities of osteoblasts, with special regard to the calcium-related pathway of phosphoinositide specific phospholipase C (PLC) enzyme family. PLC enzymes were demonstrated to be involved in the differentiation of osteoblasts and differently localize in the nucleus, cytoplasm or both depending on the isoform. The amino-steroid molecule U-73122 inhibits the enzymes belonging to the PLC family. In addition to the temporary block of the enzymatic activity, U-73122 promotes off-target effects, including modulation of the expression of selected PLC genes and different localization of PLC enzymes, depending on the cell line, in different cell lines.

In order to evaluate possible off-target effects of the molecule in human osteoblasts, we investigated the expression of PLC genes and the localization of PLC enzymes in cultured human osteoblasts (hOBs) in the presence of low dose U-73122.

Our results confirm that all PLC genes are transcribed in hOBs, that probably splicing variants of selected PLC genes are expressed and that all PLC enzymes are present in hOBs, except for PLC δ3 in quiescent hOBs at seeding. Our results confirm literature data excluding toxicity of U-73122 on cell survival. Our results indicate that U-73122 did not significantly affect the transcription of PLC genes. It acts upon the localization of PLC enzymes, as PLC enzymes are detected in cell protrusions or pseudopodia-like structures, at the nuclear or the plasma membrane, in membrane ruffles and/or in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Published: January 2023

In this article, a Green's function for a fractional boundary value problem in connection with modified analytic kernel has been constructed to study the existence of multiple solutions of a type of characteristic fractional boundary value problems. It is done here by using a well-known result: Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem. Moreover, a practical example is created to understand the importance of main results regarding the existence of solution of a boundary value fractional differential problem with homogeneous conditions. This example analytically and graphically, explains circumstances under which the Green's functions with different types of differential operator are compatible.
Geometric properties of holomorphic functions involving generalized distribution with bell number
Authors: Santhiya S. , Thilagavathi K.
Published: February 2023

One of the statistical tools used in geometric function theory is the generalized distribution which has recently gained popularity due to its use in solving practical issues. In this work, we obtained a new subclass of holomorphic functions, which defined by the convolution of generalized distribution and incomplete beta function associated with subordination in terms of the bell number. Further, we estimate the coefficient inequality and upper bound for a subclass of holomorphic functions. Our findings show a clear relationship between statistical theory and geometric function theory.
Economic Covid-19 effects analysed by macro econometric models—the case of Norway
Authors: Nymoen Ragnar
Published: January 2023

Counterfactual analysis of the impact of Covid-19 can be based on a solution of a macroeconomic model for a scenario without the coronavirus interfering with the macroeconomic system. Two measures of impact are introduced with the aid of a simple theoretical model, and then used in the empirical analysis: (Ⅰ) The difference between the counterfactual without Covid-19 and a baseline model solution. (Ⅱ) The difference between the counterfactual and the actual development of the economy. In order to analyze the impact on GDP we use two model categories. First, empirical final form model equations, which were purpose-built with the aid of a machine learning algorithm. Second, an operational multiple-equation model of the Norwegian macroeconomic system. Empirically, we find a significant impact of Covid-19 on the GDP Mainland Norway in 2020. For some of the estimator/model combinations, the impacts are also significant in the two first quarters of 2021. Using the multiple-equation model, the assessment is extended to the impact of Covid-19 on value added in four Mainland Norway industries, on imports and exports, and on final consumption expenditure and gross capital formation.

In 1945, atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Approximately 70 000 Koreans are estimated to have been exposed to radiation from atomic bombs at that time. After Korea’s Liberation Day, approximately 23 000 of these people returned to Korea. To investigate the long-term health and hereditary effects of atomic bomb exposure on the offspring, cohort studies have been conducted on atomic bomb survivors in Japan. This study is an ongoing cohort study to determine the health status of Korean atomic bomb survivors and investigate whether any health effects were inherited by their offspring. Atomic bomb survivors are defined by the Special Act On the Support for Korean Atomic Bomb Victims, and their offspring are identified by participating atomic bomb survivors. As of 2024, we plan to recruit 1500 atomic bomb survivors and their offspring, including 200 trios with more than 300 people. Questionnaires regarding socio-demographic factors, health behaviors, past medical history, laboratory tests, and pedigree information comprise the data collected to minimize survival bias. For the 200 trios, whole-genome analysis is planned to identify de novo mutations in atomic bomb survivors and to compare the prevalence of de novo mutations with trios in the general population. Active follow-up based on telephone surveys and passive follow-up with linkage to the Korean Red Cross, National Health Insurance Service, death registry, and Korea Central Cancer Registry data are ongoing. By combining pedigree information with the findings of trio-based whole-genome analysis, the results will elucidate the hereditary health effects of atomic bomb exposure.

Published: January 2023

El Alto Atlas Central es una de las estructuras geológicas que pertenecen al Macizo del Atlas marroquí. Presenta una gran diversidad geológica y muchas características estructurales y de facies. Está controlada por fallas principales de dirección N70 a E-O, visibles a diferentes escalas y ricas en numerosas vetas mineralizadas. Esta zona ha sido objeto del presente trabajo, en el que hemos simulado las imágenes de los sensores Landsat 8 OLI, Sentinel 2 y Aster para cartografiar los minerales de alteración hidrotermal asociados a una cartografía litoestructural que puede aportar más información sobre la mineralización de esta zona de estudio. En este punto destacamos los diferentes enfoques de teledetección adoptados, citando en primer lugar los métodos de extracción de lineamientos a partir de la banda infrarroja de la imagen Landsat 8 OLI y del GDEM ASTER para destacar la fracción geológica del área de estudio. Para obtener una buena discriminación de las unidades litológicas se realizó un Análisis de Componentes Principales y se aplicó el Factor de Índice Óptimo para crear composiciones de color con mejor interpretación visual para tener una buena cartografía litológica, y finalmente, se proponen muchas relaciones de bandas para ASTER, Landsat 8 OLI y Sentinel 2 para derivar varios mapas correspondientes a las zonas de alteración hidrotermal que se comparan con el mapa geológico del lugar estudiado, que presenta una correlación favorable entre ellos. El análisis de los resultados de los mapas obtenidos permitió identificar las grandes direcciones estructurales materializadas por las familias NE-SW a E-W, NNE-SWSW y ENE-WSW y también permitió destacar dos zonas potenciales de mineralización: una situada al sur de Demnate en el extremo occidental del Alto Atlas Central y la otra en la parte central del Alto Atlas Central. La superposición de los mapas de alteración y del mapa de fracturación muestra que las zonas que pueden ser favorables para los depósitos de mineralización están afectadas por fallas en dirección generalmente NE-SW.
Does employee ownership reduce agency costs? Evidence from French listed companies
Authors: Joseph ABDELNOUR , Nicolas AUBERT , Domenico CAMPA
Published: January 2023

Employee stock ownership (ESO) is often associated with reductions in agency costs because it increases employee satisfaction and attachment to their company and aligns the interests of employees with those of their firm. Another stream of research argues that ESO may have the opposite effect on agency costs because it serves as a management entrenchment tool and leads to divergence between stakeholders. This paper examines the relationship between ESO and agency costs in France, which is a leading European country for ESO. Using a panel database of 125 firms over the period 2002–2016, we find an inverted U-shaped relationship between ESO and agency costs. That evidence highlights that low levels of ESO increase agency costs, which is consistent with managerial entrenchment mechanisms. The findings also suggest that beyond a certain point, ESO reduces agency problems because it links employee wealth to their firm’s success.
