Independent directors’ reputation incentives and executive pay tournaments

We provide evidence of a positive association between independent directors’ reputation incentives and the magnitude of the CEO pay gap, defined as the difference in compensation between the CEO and lower-ranked executives. The CEO pay gap serves as a proxy for the strength of executive pay tournaments within the firm. Using a sample of S&P 1500 firms, we show that independent directors with s

Fireburn : Revolt, Representation, and Remembrance

This dissertation examines the Fireburn revolt of 1878 on St. Croix in the Danish West Indies as both a historical event and a site of ongoing meaning-making. Rather than approaching Fireburn solely as a moment of post-emancipation labor unrest, the study investigates how the revolt has been archived, mediated, represented, and remembered across time and space, from the late nineteenth century to

Mapping textures of polar ice cores using 3D laboratory X-ray microscopy

Deep ice cores from polar ice sheets enable reconstructions of Earth’s past climate. Ice core records are therefore crucial for projecting future climate change, but our ability to interpret them relies on our understanding of polycrystalline-ice microstructures and mechanics. In turn, these microstructures enable modeling of ice flow and large-scale effects of ice sheet evolution. Since drilling

Implementering av blå-grön infrastruktur i Sverige : Barriärer för storskalig implementering av blå-grön infrastruktur och några förslag till hur dessa kan överbryggas

Traditionella, rörbaserade dagvattensystem räcker inte längre till i förtätade städer för att möta krav på vattenkvalitet och översvämningsskydd vid extrem nederbörd. Därför efterfrågas naturbaserade och multifunktionella lösningar, här omnämnda som blå-grön infrastruktur, som kan hantera flera samhällsutmaningar samtidigt.Implementeringen av sådana lösningar försvåras dock av många och ibland sam

Enhanced remote sensing of water surface elevation through fusion of Sentinel-3 altimeter data and climate variables using machine learning

Accurate and continuous monitoring of inland surface‌ water dynamics is vital for sustainable water resource management, climate impact assessment, and ecological planning. This study introduces a machine learning-based remote sensing-based data-fusion framework that improves Sentinel-3 radar altimeter (SRAL) estimations of water surface elevation (WSE) by integrating ERA5 reanalysis climate varia

Nytilkomne familier bliver mødt med mange krav fra den danske velfærdsstat. Et af kravene er, at de skal sende deres 0-6 årige børn i dagtilbud, så forældrene kan gå på sprogskole eller komme i praktik. Artiklen belyser nogle af de dilemmaer, der opstår i forældresamarbejdet i mødet mellem pædagoger og nytilkomne familier. Disse dilemmaer udspringer af den myndighedsrolle som pædagogerne har, samt

Experimental investigation of slotted-in plate moment connections in timber frame buildings

In the past decades, the number of research work explaining the load transfer mechanism of moment connections has increased due to their advantages of energy dissipation capacity and improved load distribution. The use of bolts in slotted-in plate moment connections is a common practice in timber construction. However, the design and application guidelines are still limited and leading to results

Introduction: youth, subjectivity and Utopia : ethnographic perspectives from the Global South

As a fluid age cohort and a social category between childhood and adulthood – and hence with tenuous links to the status quo – youth are variously described as ‘at risk’, as victims of precarious and unpredictable circumstances, or as agents of social change who embody the future. From this future-oriented generational perspective, youth are often mobilised to individually and collectively imagine

Osäkerhet vid placeringar av barn : – om individers, organisationers och marknaders föränderlighe

This study explores causes for uncertainty that social workers experience when making assessments ofout of home placements in foster or institutional care. Uncertainty is often considered to be an integralpart of professional decision making, and the reason why professions are needed at all. Most researchhas concentrated on investigating how uncertainty is approached in education, professions, and

Reframing Robots for Care : Situating Informal Caregivers in the Development of AI-driven Technologies

The current framing of AI-driven technologies situates them as solutions to a looming care crisis. However, this overlooks informal caregivers' key role to current State budgetary deficits impacting healthcare services happening in Europe. As States increasingly rely on informal caregivers to provide care before the necessary involvement of healthcare services, there is already well-established re

From Filial Piety to Forgiveness : Managing Ambivalent Feelings in a Beijing House-Church

This article is based on fieldwork in a Chinese Protestant house-church in Beijing—more specifically, it focuses on a form of group therapy, which took place in the vicinity of the church. It combines two phenomena usually studied separately, namely the popularity of Chinese underground churches and China's so-called “psycho-boom.” Drawing on attachment theory, I focus on the psychic conflicts tha

Type 2 lymphocytes restrict type 3 lymphocytes during liver fibrosis and colocalize in fibroblast niches

Fibroblasts are dynamic structural cells that direct both beneficial tissue repair and pathological organ fibrosis through interactions with tissue-resident type 2 lymphocytes (T2Ls) and type 3/17 lymphocytes (T3Ls). The cytokines interleukin-13 (IL-13) and IL-17A, produced by T2Ls and T3Ls, respectively, are linked to both tissue inflammation and fibrosis, but how their spatial positioning influe

Experimental and analytical assessment of the lateral loading response of a full-scale hybrid timber structure incorporating a structural glass diaphragm

This study examines the contribution of a structural glass window integrated into a lightweight timber-frame wall diaphragm at the structural level. A full-scale timber mock-up, comprising different bracing elements such as wall diaphragms (with and without a bonded structural window), and a moment-resisting frame, combined with a roof diaphragm, was subjected to multiple serviceability limit stat

The Audience Turn: Crafting Contributions for Impact in Marketing and Consumer Research

This paper introduces an addressability logic for crafting research contributions to advance scientific and societal impact in marketing and consumer research. For research to be meaningful we ask: for whom? Using rhetorical audience analysis, we examine 80 interpretivist articles in four journals over twenty years to identify their intended addressees. We identify four audience categories along aThis paper introduces an addressability logic for crafting research contributions to advance scientific and societal impact in marketing and consumer research.

Between Party, parents and peers : The quandaries of two young Chinese Party members in Beijing

This article explores the lived contradictions entailed in being a young member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) today. The focus is on how political and existential issues intersect. It explores partymembership as a strategy for personal mobility among Beijing elite university students by providing an ethnographic account of the quandaries of two young CCP members. Even though one student is
