Measuring Consumer Aversion Toward AI in Marketing Communication and Assessing Its Relationship to Brand Perceptions and Purchase Intention

open access: yesJournal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some consumers exhibit aversion toward artificial intelligence (AI), particularly when it is embedded in persuasive marketing communication (MarCom). Here, we developed and validated a measure of consumer aversion to AI in MarCom and examined its downstream consequences for brand perceptions and purchase intention.

$H_0$-Contiguity in Nonparametric Testing Problems and Sample Pitman Efficiency

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1982
The concept of $H_0$-contiguity is studied for certain nonparametric testing problems. Furthermore, it is shown that a meaningful sample definition of Pitman efficiency is possible under $H_0$-contiguity, and this definition turns out to coincide with the usual efficiency concept based on comparing asymptotic distributions.

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.

Smoothing-inspired lack-of-fit tests based on ranks

open access: yes, 2008
A rank-based test of the null hypothesis that a regressor has no effect on a response variable is proposed and analyzed. This test is identical in structure to the order selection test but with the raw data replaced by ranks. The test is nonparametric in

Do CSR Efforts Reduce Environmental Decoupling: Evidence From S&P 500 Firms

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) committees and CSR‐focused employee training on environmental decoupling. Using panel data of 2489 firm‐year observations from S&P 500 firms between 2009 and 2022, we employ fixed‐effects models to examine how CSR governance mechanisms influence the alignment between ...

On the limiting Pitman efficiency of some rank tests of independence

open access: yesJournal of Multivariate Analysis, 1986
Kendall's tau and Spearman's rho may be expressed by the use of standard sequences with parameter \(a=1\). The paper uses the fact that the main assumption of \textit{H. S. Wieand}'s theorem [Ann. Stat. 4, 1003-1011 (1976; Zbl 0351.62033)] may be replaced by an equivalent one which is presented in section 2.

An assessment of stress and production rate of sucker rod heat pipes in oil well pumping system

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The sucker rod pumping system is the preferred oil extraction technique. The concept about equipping the hollow vacuum space in solid sucker rods with heat pipe has been scrutinized in terms of stress and oil production evaluation. Abstract The implementation of the heat pipe concept in sucker rods for oil pumping systems negates the requirement for an

Nature‐Based Solutions for Climate Adaptation: Review of Barriers to Adoption and Guidelines for Policymakers

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...

Governing Within the Constraints of Carbon Budgets: Regional Insights From Sweden

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Staying within the limits of a rapidly shrinking global carbon budget while avoiding dependency on negative emissions technologies and carbon dioxide removal remains a significant challenge in a multi‐level governance system, where resources and responsibilities are dispersed among different actors.

Practice adoption in MNCS: A multi‐level interactionist model of trait activation

open access: yesGlobal Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Sharing knowledge through organizational practices is an important source of advantage for multinational corporations (MNCs). While prior research on practice adoption by subsidiaries of MNCs has identified several individual and organizational factors, this study examines their interplay in the context of HQ‐mandated ...
