Undesirable societal outcome of investor protection: examining independent directors’ personal liability
Creators: name: Wang, Hongqi
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 350201
subject: Environment and climate finance

description: This study investigates whether enhancing legal responsibility for independent directors influences a firm’s engagement in greenwashing activities. Due to the increased liability for investor protection, independent directors focus more on monitoring the firm’s financial performance and so pay less attention to corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices. Meanwhile, firms may respond speculatively to enhanced financial oversight, leading to a higher likelihood of conducting greenwashing behavior. A quasi-natural experiment from China serves as the basis for this investigation, specifically, the enacted New Securities Act (NSA) reform in 2020, which increased personal liability for independent directors. The difference-in-differences results indicate that greater personal liability for independent directors promotes corporate greenwashing behavior. The results remain robust after a series of robustness checks. The cross-sectional analysis reveals that this effect is more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises with less gender diversity and lower external pressure, facing weaker environmental regulation and higher monitoring costs. To examine the underlying mechanism, the difference-in-difference-in-differences method is utilized. The findings demonstrate that the relationship between independent directors’ personal liability and corporate greenwashing behavior is transmitted through the accounting professionalism of independent directors and so the attention allocated to firms’ non-financial performance. Further analysis indicates that firms’ greenwashing behavior resulting from independent directors’ diminished focus on CSR performance negatively impacts shareholder returns. These findings underscore the fact that firms may speculatively respond to heightened legal liability, undermining the primary reform goal of reinforcing investor protection and thus eroding corporate value. This study makes significant contributions to the existing literature on director liability and investor protection. First, it investigates the impact of increased legal liability from the external regulator on corporate greenwashing behavior, emphasizing the associated undesirable consequences of introducing high personal responsibility to enhance investor protection. Second, the findings have practical implications for regulatory policy-making for promoting firms’ sustainable development.

description: We report on the X-ray observation of a strong lensing selected group, SL2S J08544-0121, with a total mass of $2.4 \pm 0.6 \times 10^{14}$ $\rm{M_\odot}$ which revealed a separation of $124\pm20$ kpc between the X-ray emitting collisional gas and the collisionless galaxies and dark matter (DM), traced by strong lensing. This source allows to put an order of magnitude estimate to the upper limit to the interaction cross section of DM of 10 cm$^2$ g$^{-1}$. It is the lowest mass object found to date showing a DM-baryons separation and it reveals that the detection of bullet-like objects is not rare and confined to mergers of massive objects opening the possibility of a statistical detection of DM-baryons separation with future surveys.

description: Three-body hadronic models with separable pairwise interactions are formulated and solved to calculate resonance masses and widths of L=0 N-Delta and Delta-Delta dibaryons using relativistic kinematics. For N-Delta, I(JP)=1(2+) and 2(1+) resonances slightly below threshold are found by solving pi-N-N Faddeev equations. For Delta-Delta, several resonances below threshold are found by solving pi-N-Delta Faddeev equations in which the N-Delta interaction is dominated by the 1(2+) and 2(1+) resonating channels. The lowest Delta-Delta dibaryon resonances found are for I(JP)=0(3+) and 3(0+), the former agreeing well both in mass and in width with the relatively narrow D_{03}(2370) resonance observed recently by the WASA-at-COSY Collaboration. Its spin-isospin symmetric partner D_{30} is predicted with mass around 2.4 GeV and width about 80 MeV.

description: The notion that reputation takes significant time and effort to build is well recognized by researchers in the field. This study tests the effects of consistency and change in relative financial performance on subsequent firm reputation. Based on reputation data from Fortune magazine's annual survey of corporate reputation, we find that firms that perform relatively better tend to have better reputation. In addition, firms that perform consistently better also have better reputation than those that are less consistent in their superior performance. Conversely, firms that perform consistently worse have worse reputations than those that are less consistent in their inferior relative performance. Finally, the change in reputation as a result of a change in positive performance follows an exponential rather than a linear function. These results suggest the sticky nature of reputation and have implications for firms attempting to build intangible resources for competitive advantage. © 2009 Palgrave Macmillan.

description: The Software Product Line (SPL) approach is a reuse technique derived from other engineering disciplines to develop a family of products within a specific domain. An essential artifact of SPL is the Software Product Line Architecture (PLA), which identifies elements characterized by variation points, variability, and variants. PLA anticipates design decisions and aims to achieve critical features such as reusability and modularity. As a multiobjective optimization problem, the interactive multiobjective optimization approach for PLA design (iMOA4PLA) employs specific metrics to optimize the PLA problem. The iMOA4PLA is implemented through the OPLA-Tool v2.0, with the decision maker (DM) assuming a participatory role in the optimization process, guiding it through various strategies. In this context, machine learning (ML) algorithms assist the DM. We conducted two experiments to evaluate the proposed model - one quantitative and one qualitative. The results indicate that the approach facilitates the generation of PLA alternatives that align with the DM's expectations. Additionaly, strategies employed are highly efficient in assisting the DM with the PLA evaluation process. This research presents a model that helps decision-makers optimize the Software Product Line Architecture while enabling an interactive process that leverages machine learning algorithms. The scientific contribution of this work lies in providing a framework for the design and evaluation of the PLA that leverages the benefits of machine learning algorithms.hat utilizes machine learning algorithms.

description: Clay and soil containing it have shrinkage curves that are qualitatively different in shape. The objective of this work is to qualitatively show with maximum simplicity, how a clay shrinkage curve turns into a soil shrinkage curve. Because of the crack volume the measured shrinkage curve is not the single-valued feature of a soil. We use a concept of the reference shrinkage curve that is only stipulated by soil shrinkage without cracking, single-valued, and qualitatively similar to an observed shrinkage curve. We also use new concepts of an intra-aggregate soil structure: (i) a rigid superficial layer of aggregates that loses water during shrinkage; and (ii) lacunar pores (micro-cracks) inside an intra-aggregate clay that change in volume during shrinkage. Then, through a series of consecutive steps, illustrating each step by a separate graphic presentation, we move from a clay shrinkage curve to a soil shrinkage curve with predicted qualitative features that coincide with those experimentally observed in numerous soil shrinkage publications. We thereby demonstrate the qualitative physical impact of the intra-aggregate structure on soil shrinkage.

description: Complications in megaprosthetic reconstruction following sarcoma resection are quite common. While several risk factors for failure have been explored, there is a scarcity of studies investigating the effect of the duration of surgery. We performed a retrospective study of 568 sarcoma patients that underwent megaprosthetic reconstruction between 1993 and 2015. Differences in the length of surgery and implant survival were assessed with the Kaplan–Meier method, the log-rank test and multivariate Cox regressions using an optimal cut-off value determined by receiver operating curves analysis using Youden’s index. 230 patients developed a first and 112 patients a subsequent prosthetic failure. The median duration of initial surgery was 210 min. Patients who developed a first failure had a longer duration of the initial surgery (225 vs. 205 min, p = 0.0001). There were no differences in the probability of infection between patients with longer and shorter duration of initial surgery (12% vs. 13% at 5 years, p = 0.492); however, the probability of mechanical failure was higher in patients with longer initial surgery (38% vs. 23% at 5 years, p = 0.006). The median length of revision surgery for the first megaprosthetic failure was 101 min. Patients who underwent first revision for infection and did not develop a second failure had a longer median duration of the first revision surgery (150 min vs. 120 min, p = 0.016). A shorter length of the initial surgery appears beneficial, however, the notion that longer operating time increases the risk of deep infection could not be reproduced in our study. In revision surgery for infection, a longer operating time, possibly indicating a more thorough debridement, appears to be associated with a lower risk for subsequent revision.

description: We test the relationships between corporate expatriate supporting practices, cross- cultural adjustment, and expatriate performance. Specifically, we propose that the facets of cultural intelligence moderate the expatriate supporting practices-expatriate adjustment relationship. Analyzing 169 expatriates residing in Singapore, we found that expatriate supporting practices were positively related to adjustment as well as performance. Further, we demonstrated that metacognitive and cognitive cultural intelligence negatively moderated the links between expatriate supporting practices and adjustment, while motivational cultural intelligence had a positive moderating effect. These findings have implications for organizations providing support for expatriates and the expatriate selection and training processes. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.

description: Cadherin adhesion receptors are fundamental determinants of tissue organization in health and disease. Increasingly, we have come to appreciate that classical cadherins exert their biological actions through active cooperation with the contractile actin cytoskeleton. Rather than being passive resistors of detachment forces, cadherins can regulate the assembly and mechanics of the contractile apparatus itself. Moreover, coordinate spatial patterning of adhesion and contractility is emerging as a determinant of morphogenesis. Here we review recent developments in cadherins and actin cytoskeleton cooperativity, by focusing on E-cadherin adhesive patterning in the epithelia. Next, we discuss the underlying principles of cellular rearrangement during Drosophila germband extension and epithelial cell extrusion, as models of how planar and apical-lateral patterns of contractility organizes tissue architecture.

description: The project management literature has typically focused on project efficiency measures, such as time, cost, and quality, but rarely examined broader measures of project success, such as customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. In this article, we apply a resource-based theory framework and examine both ordinary and dynamic capabilities of the firm and their influence on customer satisfaction and repurchase intentions. We also include the firm's corporate reputation and explore its moderating influences on variables in the model. Data from 491 project managers indicate that one dynamic capability (relational) is three times stronger at predicting customer satisfaction than one of the ordinary capabilities (project). Another dynamic capability (product) is not a significant predictor of customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is the strongest determinant of repurchase intentions and fully mediate the impact of the firm's dynamic and ordinary capabilities on repurchase intentions. When the sample is split according to corporate reputation, for the group who saw the focal firm reputation ranked first in industry, the project (ordinary) capabilities and relational (dynamic) capabilities have similar influences on satisfaction. However, for the group who saw other firms' reputation ranked first, relational capabilities are stronger than project capabilities at predicting satisfaction.

description: The interaction between a graphene layer and a hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) substrate induces lateral displacements and strains in the graphene layer. The displacements lead to the appearance of commensurate regions and the existence of an average gap in the electronic spectrum of graphene. We present a simple, but realistic model, by which the displacements, strains and spectral gap can be derived analytically from the adhesion forces between hBN and graphene. When the lattice axes of graphene and the substrate are aligned, strains reach a value of order 2\%, leading to effective magnetic fields above 100T. The combination of strains and induced scalar potential gives a sizeable contribution to the electronic gap. Commensuration effects are negligible, due to the large stiffness of graphene.

description: V530 Per is a solar-like member of the young open cluster α Persei, with an ultra-short rotation period (P ∼ 0.32d). We report on two spectropolarimetric campaigns using ESPaDOnS, aimed at characterizing the short-term variability of its magnetic activity and large-scale magnetic field. We used time-resolved spectropolarimetric observations obtained in 2006 and 2018 and reconstructed the brightness distribution and large-scale magnetic field geometry of V530 Per through Zeeman-Doppler imaging. Using the same data sets, we also mapped the spatial distribution of prominences through tomography of Hα emission. We reconstruct, at both epochs, a large, dark spot occupying the polar region of V530 Per while smaller (dark and bright) spots were reconstructed at lower latitudes. The maximal field strength reached ∼1 kG. The surface differential rotation was consistent with a smooth Sun-like shear dΩ = 0.053 ± 0.004 rad.d−1, close to the solar shear level. The prominence pattern displayed a stable component that was confined close to the corotation radius. In 2018, we also observed rapidly evolving Hα emitting structures, over timescales ranging from minutes to days. The fast Hα evolution was not linked to any detected photospheric changes in the spot or magnetic coverage.

Analysing the 'black box' of HRM: Uncovering HR goals, mediators, and outcomes in a standardized service environment

description: This multi-level study analyses the 'black box' of HRM in an Australian cinema chain, a standardized service environment. Management's espoused goals for the casual workers who run the cinema service include attempts to build customer-oriented behaviour, both directly and via empowerment, and also efforts to ensure compliance with company policies and to enhance employee commitment. Our analysis of an employee survey and supervisory performance ratings shows that it is behavioural compliance that is positively associated with rated performance rather than customer-oriented behaviour. While customer service is an important value, it is willing engagement with a highly scripted, efficiency-oriented work process that makes it happen, not a more empowering form of work design. On the other hand, the management process also fosters a level of employee commitment, which has some value in a tight labour market. The study demonstrates the way in which actual models of HRM can contain a complex and 'contradictory' set of messages, consistent with critical accounts of the labour process and suggesting that notions of 'internal fit' need to recognize such tensions. It underlines the importance of identifying the multiple goals in management's espoused theories of HRM and then assessing their links via managerial behaviour and employee responses to performance outcomes. © 2010 The Authors.

description: Recently, the contribution of positronium bound states to the electron anomalous magnetic moment was computed in Refs.[1,2]. It was argued there that this O(alpha^5) contribution is missed if electron g-2 is calculated within conventional perturbative QED and, as such, it must be added to the perturbative five-loop result. We show that this conclusion is flawed and that no additional contributions to g-2 are generated in QED beyond the perturbation theory.

description: This study investigates how a biotechnology firm's collaboration incidence is affected by the business model it adopts. Specifically, we compare interfirm collaboration conducted by biopharmaceutical firms adopting the hybrid business model with those using the product-focused business model. The analysis based on 1,820 collaborations conducted by 87 dedicated biopharmaceutical firms suggests that firms adopting the hybrid business model generally engage in more collaboration. They also establish a greater proportion of exploration collaboration. These findings have implications for firm's positioning using business models. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

description: For all applications of plasmonics to technology it is required to tailor the resonance to the optical system in question. This chapter gives an understanding of the design considerations for nanoparticles needed to tune the resonance. First the basic concepts of plasmonics are reviewed with a focus on the physics of nanoparticles. An introduction to the finite element method is given with emphasis on the suitability of the method to nanoplasmonic device simulation. The effects of nanoparticle shape on the spectral position and lineshape of the plasmonic resonance are discussed including retardation and surface curvature effects. The most technologically important plasmonic materials are assessed for device applicability and the importance of substrates in light scattering is explained. Finally the application of plasmonic nanoparticles to photovoltaic devices is discussed.

Biochemical mechanisms regulating heat-induced leaf senescence and heat tolerance in Agrostis species
Creators: name: Rossi, Stephanie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Heat stress is a key factor that inhibits the growth and development of cool-season plant species and accelerates leaf senescence, which is characterized by premature chlorosis of leaves. Bentgrasses (Agrostis sp.) are widely used perennial on golf courses and putting greens and are sensitive to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. As climate change steadily increases the average global temperature, cool-season plants, such as bentgrass, will undergo longer periods of heat stress and symptoms will be more severe. In order to suppress heat-induced leaf senescence, it will be necessary to understand the biochemical mechanisms regulating heat stress and promoting heat tolerance in bentgrasses so that a reduction in quality and performance may be mitigated. The objectives of this research were to identify the biochemical factors associated with heat tolerance in bentgrasses and how various plant growth regulators may inhibit damage associated with heat stress. To accomplish this, multiple studies were conducted that 1) examined whether chlorophyll enzyme metabolism is associated with heat-induced leaf senescence in various bentgrass lines differing in heat tolerance, 2) identified how exogenously applied amino acids and ammonium nitrate control heat-induced leaf senescence in creeping bentgrass (A. stolonifera) by regulating chlorophyll metabolism and 3) amino acid metabolism, 4) evaluated how glutamate inhibits heat-induced leaf senescence in creeping bentgrass by acting on amino acid metabolism, 5) assessed the ways in which treating creeping bentgrass with a sterol or 6) a carotenoid pigment suppresses heat-induced leaf senescence by promoting membrane health through the enzymatic antioxidant system, 7) explored how application of an ethylene inhibitor or 8) a morphactin reduce heat-induced leaf senescence in creeping bentgrass by altering chlorophyll metabolism, and 9) investigated how protease inhibitors enhance heat tolerance by repressing protein degradation. The findings of this research may be utilized in the future to develop heat-tolerant bentgrass lines that maintain a stay-green phenotype under high temperatures and will provide turf managers with strategies for enhancing plant health during heat stress.

The impact of imitation strategy and R&D resources on incremental and radical innovation: evidence from Chinese manufacturing firms

description: This study proposes and tests a theoretical framework that relates a firm’s imitation strategy and its interaction with R&D resources to incremental and radical innovation. The analysis of a panel dataset of 1381 Chinese manufacturing firms in the period 2008–2014 shows that imitation strategy is positively related to incremental innovation but has an inverted U-shaped relationship with radical innovation. More interestingly, R&D resources serve as a critical boundary condition of the imitation strategy–innovation link—they strengthen the link between imitation strategy and incremental innovation but weaken the link between imitation strategy and radical innovation.
