Conductivity Analysis and Thermoelectric Behaviour of Larch Standing Trees Under Lightning Currents: Role of Moisture Distribution and Carrier Motion

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The direct effects of lightning strikes on forest combustibles form the foundation for predicting lightning‐induced forest fires. Accurate assessment of lightning impact is hindered by limited knowledge of the conduction characteristics of standing larch trees.

The Constellation: A Reappraisal of Walter Benjamin's Influence on Theodor W. Adorno

open access: yesConstellations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the 1920s and 1930s, Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno both sought to develop a notion of Darstellung—of philosophical presentation or representation—that could provide an alternative to the classically idealist tendency to subsume objects under abstract concepts.

Can Enterprises Invest Efficiently in Smart Cities?

open access: yesAccounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the digital economy has accelerated smart city (SC) development in China. Using a time‐varying difference‐in‐differences approach, we examine the impact of SC policies on corporate investment efficiency. We document that SC construction significantly enhances investment efficiency, with robust results across multiple ...

Leadership and Accountability in Faith‐Based Institutions: Evidence From UK Mosques

open access: yesFinancial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates accountability in religious institutions on the basis of evidence obtained from interviews with relevant parties in UK mosques. We mobilize prior theoretical contention regarding servant leadership and constraints on personal accountability to expose perceptions of seriously deficient discharge outcomes.
