Compact Manifolds With Unbounded Nilpotent Fundamental Groups and Positive Ricci Curvature
ABSTRACT It follows from the work of Kapovitch and Wilking that a closed manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature has a uniformly almost nilpotent fundamental group. Leftover questions and conjectures, have asked if in this context the fundamental group is actually uniformly almost abelian. The main goal of this work is to construct examples (Mk9,gk)$(

ABSTRACT Climate‐driven water scarcity is compounding adaptation pressures on Mediterranean greenhouse farming, particularly for small and micro agricultural firms governed by regulated water‐governance systems. This paper analyses differentiated adaptation profiles in Almería (Spain) based on an analysis of farm structure, digital irrigation adoption,

Corporate Social Responsibility and Firm Profitability in South Africa: An Industry‐Level Analysis
ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility and profit on assets in South Africa using a panel dataset comprising 79 industries observed annually between 2017 and 2024. The study uses an industry‐level dataset which, unlike firm‐level inquiries, purges firm‐level noise and acknowledges the empirical regularity ...

Inclusive Leadership and CEO Gender: The Role of Tenure and Education in an Emerging Economy
ABSTRACT Gender inequality in corporate leadership remains a critical challenge, particularly in emerging economies where institutional constraints shape access to top executive positions. This study examines firm performance differences between women and men CEOs in Ecuador, focusing on the moderating roles of tenure and formal education.
