Internationalization and ESG Controversies: Do Foreign Directors on Corporate Boards Matter?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between internationalization and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) controversies, focusing on whether foreign directors on corporate boards influence this relationship. Drawing on resource dependence theory, we argue that internationalization increases ESG controversies due to the complexity of ...

Quantity and Quality of Commercially Reared Queens as Affected by Number and Distribution of Artificially Grafted Queen Cells Within Queen-Less Honey Bee Colonies in the Middle Delta Region, Egypt [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology
This work was conducted throughout the queen rearing process using starter-finisher queen-less honey bee colonies to evaluate the impact of different numbers of grafted larval queen cups (24 and 48 grafted cups/colony), the level of bar they hung on it ...

Influence of immature queen honeybees ( Apis mellifera ) on queen rearing and foraging

Physiological Entomology, 1984
ABSTRACT. Providing queenless colonies with five queen cells containing larvae or pupae diminished the number of queen cells and queen cell cups subsequently produced, but not as effectively as the provision of a mated laying queen. Immature queens were more effective than the mature queens in stimulating pollen

Stereoretentive Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution Accesses Atropisomeric 4‐Amino‐N‐Arylquinolinium Salts

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Quinolin‐4‐ones were converted to chloroquinolinium salts, allowing formation of axially chiral aminoquinolinium salts via an enantioretentive SNAr reaction with a variety of amine nucleophiles. The salts have a high rotational barrier, with a racemization half‐life of ∼1000s of years.

Effect of Autumn and Winter Brood Interruption on Queen Survivability and Spring Development of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Colonies with Use of Chmara Isolator

Journal of Apicultural Science
Queen isolation, the prevention of egg laying in autumn and winter, is beneficial in temperate climates. Brood rearing in autumn weakens colonies because feeding the larvae shortens the lives of bees.

Rearing Drones in Queen Cells of Apis mellifera Honey Bees

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2016
We investigated the rearing of drone larvae grafted in queen cells. From the 1200 drone larvae that were grafted during spring and autumn, 875 were accepted (72.9%) and reared as queens.

Unveiling spatial heterogeneity in urban underground space development patterns and mechanisms for differentiated planning: A points of interest‐based study of Shanghai

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigated the spatial patterns and development mechanisms of urban underground space (UUS) in Shanghai using underground points of interest data. It revealed distinct development mechanisms between the main city and suburbs, highlighting the need for differentiated UUS planning and policies to optimize underground space resources ...

The Honey Bee Colony’s Criterion for Candidate Selection: “Ongoing” or “One-Shot”?

Animals
In the honey bee, the queen’s death severely threatens the survival of the colony. In an emergency, new queens are reared from young worker larvae, where nepotism is thought to influence the choice of queen candidates by the workers.
