Does the CEO's Attention Affect How Well the Firm Performs Environmentally?
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores whether CEOs' environmental attention (CEA) enhances firms' environmental performance. Drawing on attention‐based and upper echelons theories, which emphasize that executives' cognitive focus shapes organizational outcomes, we argue that CEOs who devote greater attention to environmental issues are more likely to integrate ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) committees' mandates, the characteristics of their chairs, and corporate environmental performance. Employing the whole sample of Italian industrial firms listed on Euronext Milan, we find that only sustainability‐focused CSR committees are positively ...

Davidson on Psychophysical Laws
Review of Business and Legal Sciences, 2017 According to Davidson there aren' t any psychophysical laws. That is, there aren't any laws that cornnect mental predicates with physical predicates; laws like "x believes that P if and only if x is in C", where C describes some physical condition of x. Or more generally x satisfies mental predicate M if and only if x satisties physical predicate P.

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

From Syndication to Misinformation: How Undergraduate Students Engage with and Evaluate Digital News
Communications in Information Literacy, 2019 To determine how undergraduate students engage with digital news, researchers at Davidson College surveyed 511 incoming first-year students on their news consumption habits and asked them to evaluate screenshots of news stories.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper we describe a technique to make a confined environment of variable stiffness that is suitable for high‐resolution live‐cell imaging. This versatile and adaptable technique enables cell confinement between soft elastic surfaces made from polyacrylamide gels.

Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2005 O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar que as perspectivas para o irrealismo intencional são muito melhores do que geralmente se pensa. Na primeira seção, pergunto se há alguma forma de realismo acerca de estados intencionais que seja defensável. Mostro que a maioria dos candidatos são praticamente trivialmente falsos, e que a única forma de realismo ...

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cells sense the stiffness of their extracellular matrix (ECM) and adapt their behavior accordingly. We investigated how ECM stiffness affects the spatial organization of talin1, a key mechanosensitive focal adhesion protein. Using polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels with tunable stiffnesses (0.2–188 kPa), we analyzed cell morphology, migration ...

On a Question of Davidson and Paulsen
Journal of Functional Analysis, 2002 An example of a polynomially bounded operator on Hilbert space not similar to a contraction was found by \textit{G. Pisier} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 10, No.~2, 351-369 (1997; Zbl 0869.47014)]. An operator-theoretic proof that certain CAR-valued Foguel-Hankel operators are polynomially bounded operators but not similar to contractions was given by \textit{K ...
