ESG Disclosure and Access to Credit: A Configurational Analysis of European Listed Firms
ABSTRACT This study investigates how various ESG disclosure configurations affect credit access for European firms listed on the STOXX Europe 600 Index during 2021–2022. Employing fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis and ESG disclosures standardised under the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the findings demonstrate that disclosure patterns ...

Orthogonal polynomials and Stieltjes functions: the Laguerre-Hahn case [PDF]
In this paper we consider orthogonal polynomials of the so-called Laguerre-Hahn class. This means that the Stieltjes function associated with the corresponding moment sequence satisfies a Riccati differential equation with polynomial coefficients.

Geometrical Interpretation of the Master Theorem for Divide-and-conquer Recurrences [PDF]
We provide geometrical interpretation of the Master Theorem to solve divide-and-conquer recurrences. We show how different cases of the recurrences correspond to different kinds of fractal images. Fractal dimension and Hausdorff measure are shown to be closely related to the solution of such recurrences.

Transparency or Map‐Washing? Digital Geospatial Visualisation Tools in the Palm Oil Industry
ABSTRACT We introduce the notion of map‐washing and ask whether digital geospatial visualisation (DGV) tools distort information or provide greater supply chain transparency. Map‐washing explains a process of disclosing spatial information that has little or no value to the intended users, but rather creates, conforms to or distorts a particular ...

Introduction In Lynch syndrome, urothelial cancer is the third most common cancer, following colorectal and endometrial cancers. Little is known, however, about the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of metastatic urothelial cancer in Lynch syndrome.

Recurrence relations for degenerate Bell and Dowling polynomials via Boson operators [PDF]
Spivey found a recurrence relation for the Bell numbers by using combinatorial method. The aim of this paper is to derive Spivey's type recurrence relations for the degenerate Bell polynomials and the degenerate Dowling polynomials by using the boson annihilation and creation operators satisfying the commutation relation aa+-a+a=1.

Principal solutions of recurrence relations and irrationality questions in number theory [PDF]
We apply the theory of disconjugate linear recurrence relations to the study of irrational quantities in number theory. In particular, for an irrational number associated with solutions of three-term linear recurrence relations we show that there exists a four-term linear recurrence relation whose solutions allow us to show that the number is a ...

Restoring Food System Resilience in a Turbulent World: Supply Chain Actors' Shared Responsibility
ABSTRACT Ecological and economic crises increasingly affect the long‐term resilience of the food supply chain. This qualitative study draws on semistructured interviews and public evidence to analyse the perspectives of British supply chain actors. Asking which pathways towards food system resilience arise and which forms of social and environmental ...
