Breadth at the Helm: Generalist CEOs and Corporate ESG Performance‐Evidence From China

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on the Upper Echelons Theory and the Imprinting Theory, this study conjectures that generalist CEOs may have a stronger tendency to pursue environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. We perform multiple regression analyses with observations of Shanghai and Shenzhen A‐share listed companies from 2010 to 2023 in order to explore ...

Utility and Emotion: A Combined Economic‐Psychological Approach to Understanding Consumer Preferences for Social Farming Products

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTSocial farming integrates agricultural activities with social and rehabilitative functions, offering significant benefits to communities. However, its economic sustainability depends, among other factors, on consumer acceptance and willingness to pay a premium for its products.

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

Droplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

Policy Networks and Policy Entrepreneurship in the EU: Explaining Structural Policy Change in Pharmaceutical Innovation Incentives and Health Technology Assessment

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy process research has excelled in explaining structural policy change within national settings, but extensions and applications to the EU level have long proven challenging for scholars. Given that the EU is currently experiencing its longest period of Treaty stability since the 1980s—having evolved into a sui generis political system ...

Experimental determination of the initial compressive strength of concrete using a rebound test hammer

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
This paper deals with rebound hammer testing of concrete in the early stage of ageing. Six types of concrete were produced for the purpose of the presented experiment and differed in the water/cement ratio and were otherwise identical as to the input components.

The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.

Uniaxial Compressive Strength of Antarctic Peninsula Rocks: Schmidt Hammer Rebound Test

Sains Malaysiana, 2017
The uniaxial compressive strength test is a destructive and time consuming test. A number of non-destructive methods using portable testing equipment are more applicable and easier to conduct. This paper presents the results of a systematic approach to determine the uniaxial compressive strength of rock material using the Schmidt hammer rebound test. A
