Decoupling sustainability and performance: How government infrastructure projects in Australia fare on strategic environmental commitments

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Australian government organisations are pivotal in helping to meet the United Nations sustainable development goals. Yet while these organisations promote sustainability in their strategic plans, they struggle to embed these same commitments into their own infrastructure and construction projects. This study examines this persistent disconnect

Climate Change and (Mal)Adaptation in Tourism‐Intensive Alpine Regions

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Tourism, especially in winter, accounts for a large share of economic income in Alpine regions. At the same time, these regions are more severely affected by climate change, leading to shorter winter seasons and reduced snow cover. This presents a pressing issue for areas reliant on income from winter tourism through activities such as skiing.

Availability of a Keystone Plant Resource Reduces Niche Overlap and Drives Distinct Species‐Specific Changes in Niche Breadth Among Small Rodents

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated how three rodent species respond to the seasonal availability of Araucaria angustifolia seeds. While Oligoryzomys spp. increased seed consumption and abundance during seed production, the more insectivorous Akodon paranaensis maintained a broader diet.

Repenser l'auditeur « idéal » : le rôle sous‐estimé de l'équité, de la diversité et de l'inclusion dans le recrutement et la rétention en cabinet comptable Rethinking the “Ideal” Auditor: The Underestimated Role of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Recruitment and Retention at Accounting Firms

Accounting Perspectives, EarlyView.
RÉSUMÉ Tant au Canada qu'à l'international, les cabinets comptables éprouvent des difficultés à recruter et à retenir leur personnel. Un facteur moins souvent mis de l'avant, mais susceptible d'expliquer ces enjeux et de contribuer à leur résolution, concerne l'intégration des considérations liées à l'équité, à la diversité et à l'inclusion (EDI) dans ...

L'envolée épistémique de la recherche comptable en économie financière : une étude historique sur la conception de l'utilité de la comptabilité* The Epistemic Rise of Accounting Research in Financial Economics: A Historical Study on the Conception of the Usefulness of Accounting

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
RÉSUMÉ L'étude publiée par Ball et Brown en 1968 (ci‐après « BB68 ») est principalement reconnue pour son affirmation selon laquelle la comptabilité de l'époque était utile pour les investisseurs, s'inscrivant alors en contradiction avec la littérature comptable normative faisant office d'autorité. Or, une telle affirmation n'allait pas de soi.

Handling mean–variance scaling in intraspecific trait variability and implications for trait–environment analyses

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Trait‐based ecology increasingly relies on measures of intraspecific trait variability to estimate how trait diversity within species varies across species and environmental gradients. Yet variance and related metrics are often interpreted without considering their intrinsic dependence on the mean, as described by the empirical Taylor's power ...

Why Engage Communities in Biomedical Research?

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While community engagement in biomedical research is widely lauded, and many reasons to engage communities have been adduced, it is unclear whether all these reasons are equally important, and, if not, which are most important. Here, I argue that, outside of rare circumstances, community engagement should not be understood as seeking ...

IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

Estimating the reliability of round‐robin judgments with social relations confirmatory factor analyses

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The social relations model (SRM) is commonly used in psychological research to analyse interdependent data from round‐robin designs, where all members of a group rate each other. Based on the recently suggested social relations confirmatory factor analysis (SR‐CFA), we present general formulas for determining the reliability of composites of ...
