We use an analogy with fermion gases and the tools of statistical physics to derive asymptotic formulas for distinct partitions with a large but finite number of parts. These results are supported by the fact that we recover some other existing asymptotic results and by numerical comparisons with exact results.},

The results indicate that problematic issues of both linguistic and non-linguistic nature can lead to serious implications for successful communication between government and business in Russia. We found that documentations' complexity, which is perceived as such due to a complicated subject area they belong to (legal, tax, etc.) and language insufficiency applied are most likely to raise multiple problems related to government's communication with business.},

abstract = {Purpose



Foreign divestment (FD) has often different roles such as being a corporate diversification strategy, and of such divestment may have effects on a company's image and reputation. Ongoing businesses trends including internationalization, deregulation and diversification have forced executives to exploit image and reputation as strategic corporate resources, which make them the target of a firm's active management. The paper aims at developing the understanding of the framing techniques of discursive legitimation and of the strategies used by companies when signalizing their FD decision.

Design/methodology/approach



To examine the framing strategies used by companies to legitimize their FD decisions, the authors used the case study methodology using a critical discursive analysis. Using companies' press releases regarding FD of Western multinational companies (MNCs), the authors examined for the specific frame used in each release. After identification through initial coding, the dominant frames were recognized by recording patterns in technique, content, themes, patterns of keywords, quotes and semantic method.

Findings



This study demonstrated that legitimation is an integral part of framing press release. Companies framing of their FD decisions can be interpreted as an attempt to not only prevent negative repercussion from stakeholders but also to legitimize the FD decisions to protect the company's image and reputation.

Originality/value



By examining the elements of FD press releases, the authors uncovered the microelements of the framing techniques used by MNCs to legitimize their decision.},

However, the much improved rotational projection scheme cannot be used on models with non-homogeneous viscosity, imposing the use of the less accurate incremental projection. This paper presents a projection method for the Navier-Stokes equations for fluids having variable viscosity, giving a consistent pressure and increased accuracy in pressure when compared to the incremental projection. The accuracy of the method will be illustrated using a manufactured solution.},

abstract = {The piping inspection for security or sealing checking is an important challenge when the internal diameter of the pipe is small with respect to its length. Some mechanisms using closed loops are able to generate contact forces and deployable structures. By using bio-inspired design, we present a mechanism which is able to move inside pipes by mimicking the motion of a caterpillar. The mechanism is composed of three sections, one for the motion and two with legs that are attached with the inner part of the pipe. A compliant mechanism is proposed to add mobility between the three sections of the robot in order to cross the singularity of the pipe. The results coming from a multi-objective optimization process is used to set the geometric and kinematic parameters of the mechanism taking into account the environmental and design constraints. A mechatronic system is proposed that uses industrial components namely DC motors, ball-screws and servo controllers which can be inserted in the pipe. For horizontal and vertical motions, the contact forces and the motor torques are computed to check the feasibility of the clamping. A prototype made at Laboratoire des Sciences du Numérique de Nantes (LS2N) is used to show the behavior of this concept for slow motions.},

In the case of nonpositive transmissibilities, a correction of the diffusive fluxes is necessary to maintain the monotonicity of the numerical scheme. Finally, many numerical tests are given to illustrate the behavior of the anisotropic Keller-Segel-Stokes system.},

We first find that the presence of female directors deters managers from managing earnings. However, this finding does not hold when the statutory and demographic attributes of female directors are taken into account, thus showing that the detection and the correction of earnings management require particular competencies and skills. Interestingly, we find that business expertise and audit committee membership are key attributes of female directors that promote the effective monitoring of earnings management. An important implication of our findings is that the decision to appoint women on corporate boards should be based more on their statutory and demographic attributes than on blind implementation of gender quotas. Finally, our supplementary analysis reveals that female CEOs and CFOs are strongly inclined to reduce earnings management.},

This involves playing brokering roles between different workers and between workers and existing governance mechanisms. We identify an initial typology of six such roles: educating, organizing, supporting, collective action, whistle-blowing and documenting. This marks a significant shift in the way action to improve labour standards along the supply chain is analysed. Our case explores how predominantly top-down approaches can be supplemented by bottom-up ones centred on workers' agency.},

The proposed methodology named safety integration in systems engineering (SafeSysE) is applied to a real case study from the aeronautics domain: electromechanical actuator (EMA).},

abstract = {Purpose

With a foundation in conservation of resources theory, the purpose of this paper is to unpack the relationship between employees' self-efficacy and job performance, investigating the mediating role of job-related anxiety and the moderating role of perceived workplace incivility.



Design/methodology/approach

Survey data were collected from employees and their supervisors in Pakistani organizations.



Findings

An important reason that employees' self-efficacy enhances their job performance is that they experience less anxiety while undertaking their daily job tasks. This mediating role of job-related anxiety is particularly salient to the extent that employees believe that they are the victims of uncivil behaviors.



Practical implications

Organizations should note that the anxiety-mitigating effect of self-efficacy is particularly strong for generating adequate performance to the extent that rude and discourteous behaviors cannot be completely avoided in the workplace.



Originality/value

This study establishes a more complete understanding of the benefits of employees' self-efficacy by revealing how reduced worries about their organizational functioning represent critical mechanisms that connect this personal resource to higher job performance, as well as by showing how employees' perceptions of workplace incivility invigorate this process.},
