Measuring what matters: Evaluating the impact of curriculum decolonisation initiatives in UK business schools

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Curriculum decolonisation has become a prominent feature of equity agendas in UK higher education, yet there remains limited empirical and theoretical work on how such initiatives are evaluated, particularly within business schools. This paper presents one of the first multi‐institutional empirical studies examining how UK business schools ...

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

A Closed Form for the Stirling Polynomials in Terms of the Stirling Numbers

open access: yesTbilisi Mathematical Journal, 2017
In the paper, by virtue of the Faá di Bruno formula and two identities for the Bell polynomial of the second kind, the authors find a closed form for the Stirling polynomials in terms of the Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds.

Paying for Privilege: How Political Contributions Undermine Environmental Sustainability—And How Executive Contracting Can Restore Balance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are interested in investigating whether firms use political donations as a license to neglect environmental sustainability.

The Group of Generalized Stirling Numbers

open access: yesAdvances in Applied Mathematics, 2001
An algebraic approach to the generalized Stirling numbers is presented, leading to a unified interpretation for important combinatorial functions such as the binomials, Stirling numbers, and Gaussian polynomials. Let \(G\) be the group of all infinite lower triangular matrices \(A\) over a field \(K\) of characteristic \(0\) for which \(A(n,m)= 1 ...
