State Ownership and Corporate Social Responsibility: An Investigation on Nigerian Data
Authors: Okafor Cyriacus Elochukwu 
Published: October 2023

Purpose: The paper examines the central issue underpinning the growing international literature and arguments that different ownership types have varying implications for a firm’s CSR engagement. It compliments evolving studies by looking at the effect of state ownership and other types of ownership structures on CSR, specifically in the Nigerian industry. It is argued that the impact of ownership structure on corporate decisions to allocate resources to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has assumed renewed significance in the burgeoning literature of developing economies, given the exigency for corporate executives to allocate firm specific resources to other social objectives that may detract from profit maximization.
Methodology: This paper differs markedly from the methodologies of previous studies which used composite CSR indices. It deconstructs CSR expenditure into five categories – public goods, socially desirable goods, corporate philanthropy, employee relations and environmental conservation – and estimates the effects of government, foreign and institutional ownership on CSR variables controlling for such factors as firm size, return on assets and capital intensity. Using new data on listed Nigerian firms, this paper carries out its empirical investigation with panel data estimation in order to deal with heterogeneity and endogeneity issues.
Findings: The findings of this paper indicate that different ownership structures have varying implications for the five forms of CSR investigated in this study. It reveals that government ownership has no significant effect on CSR expenditure on public goods, corporate philanthropy and environmental conservation. However, it finds that government ownership also significantly influences CSR expenditure on socially desirable goods and employee relations.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy:Theoretically, this paper extends the trajectory of CSR discourse to include an elaborate investigation of the impact of ownership structures on CSR practices in all the major sectors of Nigerian economy.The paper argues that its empirical results have several policy implications for good corporate governance practices in Nigeria and other emerging economies. This paper suggests the need to institute incentives schemes and regulatory constraints that would compel government, foreign and institutional ownership to align their incentives with some forms of CSR practices.

Corsets and Crinolines
Authors: Waugh Norah 
Published: October 2023

In this classic book, Norah Waugh explores the changing shapes of women’s dress from the 1500s to the 1920s. Simple laced bodices became corsets of cane, whalebone and steel, while padding at shoulders and hips gave way to the structures of farthingales, hoops and bustles.
Corsets and Crinolines explains the cyclical nature of these fashions, and how waists and skirts changed shape and size through three distinct eras:
The 1500s to 1670—farthingales and whaleboned bodies.1670 to 1800—stays and hooped petticoats.1800 to 1925—corsets, crinolines and bustles.
Each section describes how these garments originated, how they became popular and how they emerged as central to the fashions of the time. Extracts from diaries, journals, poems and newspapers, as well as over 100 illustrations, demonstrate the variety of these ubiquitous items of clothing throughout modern history.
Corsets and Crinolines also contains a wealth of practical notes and resources for today’s costume makers and designers, including:
Scaleable patterns for the construction of 25 different bustles, crinolines, corsets, corselets, stays, pocket hoops, hooped petticoats and bodices.Detailed appendices on the manufacture of corsets and crinolines, including farthingales, supports and hooped petticoats.A list of further reading, including costume histories; textile and weaving histories; reconstruction of period clothing; contemporary application of foundational garments; and a list of museums and institutions with period clothing collections, for first-hand study.A glossary of terms and materials.

Mars Entry, Descent, and Landing guidance under dynamic uncertainty
Authors: Amato Davide 
Published: October 2023

Future Mars exploration missions require improvements of one order of magnitude in landed mass and of two orders of magnitude in landing accuracy with respect to current (Mars 2020) capabilities. These stringent requirements pose significant challenges to current Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) guidance algorithms. In addition, the behaviour of the dynamical system is highly uncertain due to the partial knowledge of the Martian atmosphere and of its interaction with the entry vehicle. In this talk, I will give an overview of some recent advances in EDL guidance under dynamic uncertainty. First, I will present a novel approach to reconstruct and predict Martian atmospheric density and wind using a Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM), a particular class of recurrent neural networks. The LSTM is trained on simulated inertial measurements from a large number of entry trajectories, in which the controls are computed by the Fully Numerical Predictor-corrector Guidance (FNPEG) algorithm. I show that the network is able to reconstruct atmospheric quantities with very high accuracy, and I am currently working on a generalization of the method to improve the accuracy of the controls obtained through the FNPEG algorithm. I also expound on a stochastic guidance method applying corrections to the controls computed during powered descent to minimize the expected value of the error at landing. The method is based on the observation that, in nonlinear systems, the mean of the propagated pdf does not coincide with the propagated mean. Thus, we feed to the baseline guidance algorithm a corrected target designed to minimize the expected value of the navigation pdf at the surface; with the latter propagated through an Unscented Transform. Both approaches are of significant import for improving the accuracy and robustness of state-of-the-art EDL algorithms.
Emission Spectroscopy Measurements in High Enthalpy Flows
Authors: Hermann Tobias 
Published: October 2023

During spacecraft entry into planetary atmospheres, the gas around the space capsule is strongly compressed as the large kinetic energy of the hypervelocity flow is transferred into internal energy. This leads to very high surface heat transfer to the vehicle which is compensated by a heat shield.To date, these thermal protection systems are oversized due to the uncertainty we encounter in predicting the flowfield.One way to improve our understanding is to conduct ground-based experiments in wind tunnels which simulate the real high enthalpy flow of a flight case. A major challenge in using these experiments to improve our understanding are the complex measurement techniques and the interpretation of the data gathered through them.Many traditional aerodynamic measurement techniques are difficult to employ due to the extreme high temperature and high pressure environment.Emission spectroscopy uses the natural radiation from these flows to investigate the thermodynamic flow state. The technique separates the light emitted from the flow into its spectral components. The resulting spectra are collected and used to infer thermodynamic parameters without the need for intrusive measurement devices.Through the use of statistical thermodynamic theory, temperatures and particle densities can be inferred from an in-depth analysis of these spectra by assessing the population density of exited quantum states of atoms and molecules.

Montgomery College (MC) is an educational institution known for its diverse student body and broad range of programs. Established in 1946 in Montgomery County, Maryland, MC is home to over 50,000 credit and noncredit students from more than 155 countries. Alongside its student body, MC prides itself on its highly dedicated faculty and staff, over 3,500 in total, who are instrumental in driving the college’s commitment to academic excellence and inclusivity.
Workplace belonging is a cornerstone for a productive, positive, and cohesive work environment. Studies have shown that feelings of belonging can directly contribute to increased job satisfaction, happiness at work, and reduced chances of burnout (Black et al., 2019). These feelings also foster institutional commitment and stability and spur creativity and innovation, elements crucial for the continued success of an educational institution (Zambrana, 2018). MC is no different and has emphasized fostering a strong sense of community within its ranks.
One of the ways MC achieves this is through the Montgomery College Rising Professionals Association (MCRPA). Established in 2011, MCRPA is an employee resource group (ERG) developed for employees by employees, and it seeks to empower its members and support them in their professional journey. The association nurtures a sense of belonging for employees and promotes collegiality, community engagement, and collaboration and, through these efforts, promotes and contributes to student success and productivity.
