Hole‐Selective Self‐Assembled Monolayers Overlaid on NiOx or PEDOT:PSS for Tin‐Based Perovskite Solar Cells – An Overview of Recent Characterization Methods

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Successfully applying self‐assembled monolayers with hole‐selectivity for lead‐free tin perovskite solar cells requires judicious investigation with appropriately powerful characterization methods, in addition to efforts in the development of new materials and processing.

Framing Modern Slavery: Do Stakeholders Talk Past Each Other?

Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l'Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern slavery literature has thus far mostly adopted a downstream perspective, in the sense that researchers investigated corporate actors' responses after the enactment of transparency legislation. The common finding is that corporate disclosure is poor and ineffective, contributing to a failure to eradicate modern slavery.

An observation‐driven state‐space model for claims size modelling

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract State‐space models are popular in econometrics. Recently, these models have gained some popularity in the actuarial literature. The best known state‐space models are of the Kalman‐filter type. These are called parameter‐driven because the observations do not impact the state‐space dynamics.

Optimal dividends for a NatCat insurer in the presence of a climate tipping point

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We study optimal dividend strategies for an insurance company facing natural catastrophe claims, anticipating the arrival of a climate tipping point after which the claim intensity and/or the claim size distribution of the underlying risks deteriorates irreversibly.

Degree theory for 4‐dimensional asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop a new degree theory for 4‐dimensional, asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons. Our theory implies the existence of gradient expanding solitons that are asymptotic to any given cone over S3$S^3$ with non‐negative scalar curvature. We also obtain a similar existence result for cones whose link is diffeomorphic to S3/Γ$S^3/\

Modeling Supports Combinatorial Effects Between Pharmacological and Non‐Pharmacological Interventions to Prevent Opioid‐Induced Cardiac Arrest

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Few studies have quantified the effects of non‐pharmacological interventions (e.g., rescue breathing) in the setting of community opioid overdose. We extended a previously validated model for opioid antagonists by incorporating the mechanism of rescue breathing, and quantified combinatorial effects between rescue breathing and various formulations of ...

Corporate Sustainability Performance and Fraud Risk Management in Nigeria's Extractive Sector: The Moderating Role of Ownership Structure in an Evolving Environmental Policy Landscape

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the environmental quality cost management model, this study examines how fraud risk management (FRM) influences corporate sustainability performance (CSP) and how ownership structures moderate it. The study uses artificial neural networks (ANN) and logistic regression models to test two hypotheses. H1 demonstrates that the prevention and
