Natural disaster risk salience and the strategic appointment of directors with sustainability expertise

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

In operando imaging of the space‐charge region in a 4H‐SiC MOSCAP using STEM‐EBIC

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract In situ biasing electron microscopy is the necessary step forward in being able to characterise nanoscale devices and device interfaces. STEM‐EBIC is a new approach that can help fill the missing gaps in creating reproducible methodologies for in situ biasing TEM.

Simulation of the surge performance of the external lightning protection system

, 2018
This paper presents an analysis done on the transient behavior of an external lightning protection system (LPS). The study was devised by modeling a Faraday's cage type LPS of a five-storied building on a MATLAB based electrical nodal network and ...

Local Crime Spillover Onto Public–Private Partnership Financing Commitment: Do Urban Proximity and Local Affluence Matter?

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the relationship between public infrastructure and crime location choices is well‐studied in criminology, the impact of crime as a spillover externality on public–private partnership (PPP) infrastructure financing remains unexplored. Leveraging a data set of 542 Private Finance Initiative (PFI)‐funded infrastructures in England and Wales

Performance Evaluation of Meteosat Third Generation Lightning Imager in Detecting Lightning Discharges

We present an evaluation of the performance of Meteosat Lightning Imager (MTG-LI) in detecting lightning flashes. To achieve this, we applied a Bayesian relative detection efficiency (RDE) analysis using the European ground-based lightning detection ...

Nationalist–Feminine Bifurcation: The Construction of National Morality Through Gender Regimes

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of nationalist–feminine bifurcation to analyse how nationalist–populist regimes construct moral orders through gendered representations. It explores how women are simultaneously portrayed as the idealized ‘national woman’ and the excluded ‘moral threat’. Through a comparative discourse analysis of four cases—
