A sharp estimate for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator for domains in a hemisphere

2018

Here, we prove an isoperimetric inequality for the harmonic mean of the first [Formula: see text] non-trivial Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplace–Beltrami operator for domains contained in a hemisphere of [Formula: see text].

Aspects regarding the existence of fixed points of the iterates of Stancu operators

2019

In the papers Iterates of Stancu Operators, via Contraction Principle (2002), respectively Iterates of Bernstein Operators, via Contraction Principle (2004), author I. A. Rus studied the existence of fixed points for Stancu operators Pn,α,β and Bernstein operators Bn. The aim of this paper is to find conditions for which the Stancu operators Pn,α,β are contractions on the graph, in order to demonstrate that the contraction principle can be applied for the study of the existence of fixed points for iterates of Stancu operators. The method used for this paper is the spectral method, which was also used in the paper Over-iterates of Bernstein-Stancu operators (2007), authors Gonska, Piţul and …

Expectations as Reference Points: Field Evidence from Professional Soccer

2015

We show that professional soccer players and their coaches exhibit reference-dependent behavior during matches. Controlling for the state of the match and for unobserved heterogeneity, we show on a minute-by-minute basis that players breach the rules of the game, measured by the referee’s assignment of cards, significantly more often if their teams are behind the expected match outcome, measured by preplay betting odds of large professional bookmakers. We further show that coaches implement significantly more offensive substitutions if their teams are behind expectations. Both types of behaviors impair the expected ultimate match outcome of the team, which shows that our findings do not si…

L'incidence des LBO sur la politique d'investissement et la gestion opérationnelle des firmes acquises:le cas français

2002

Cet article étudie dans quelle mesure la politique d'investissement ainsi que la gestion opérationnelle des firmes françaises reprises dans le cadre d'un leveraged buy-out (LBO) peuvent expliquer la dégradation de leur surperformance après l'opération. L'étude empirique porte sur 132 LBO réalisés en France de 1989 à 1994. Les résultats obtenus montrent qu'on ne peut expliquer la réduction anormale de la rentabilité économique de ces firmes par un effet mécanique imputable à des surinvestissements, ni par une dérive de la gestion de leurs actifs et passifs d'exploitation. En revanche, l'augmentation des frais de personnels ainsi que des consommations intermédiaires et/ou des réductions de pr…

Strategic thinking and accounting: potentials and pitfalls from a managerial perspective

2019

This study explores the strategic thinking of managers from an accounting perspective. By building on interview data from managers working with strategic roles in various organizations, an understanding is offered of the experienced potentials and pitfalls of accounting in strategic thinking. The results are elaborated into a framework presenting the dual nature of accounting in strategic contexts. This study suggests that the benefits and pitfalls of accounting for strategic thinking constitute a paradoxical duality, which cannot be fully solved, but must be addressed by practising managers. The observed role of accounting in managers’ strategic thinking also offers implications for manage…

Race et espace : la ville comme lieu d’étude des représentations raciales

2022

Cette étude examine les « paysages raciaux » dans le centre-ville de Bordeaux, c'est-à-dire la façon dont les discours sur la race et le racisme se matérialisent au quotidien. Les paysages raciaux rendent compte de la nature contradictoire des discours sur la race et le racisme en Europe, et en France, qui sont à la fois omniprésents et dissimulés. Analyser le centre-ville de Bordeaux permet d’appréhender la manière dont les discours locaux et nationaux s’étayent et se construisent, mettant ainsi en lumière les relations complexes entre les discours sur la race, le passé colonial et le cadre républicain universaliste spécifique à la France (Fila-Bakabadio 2011). Cette étude pose donc la que…

Hypes and the birth of new sustainable market categories – a socio-cultural perspective on the emergence of the meat substitute category in Finland

2022

Hypes can be a significant contributor in the mainstreaming of sustainable products. Former research on hypes has been supplier oriented, and thus little is known of their effect on new market formation. Our paper contributes to this research gap by examining the establishment of the ‘meat substitute’ category in Finland using press articles, retailer interviews and consumer panel data. We show how the emergence and legitimation of the meat substitute category depended heavily on the hype arising around a single product, called Pulled Oats (PO). This hype was anchored in its association with trendy and socio-culturally relevant values and practices. We further discover that the hype had pos…

Wsparcie rozwoju klastrów w Polsce w perspektywie finansowej 2014-2020

2017

Klastry stanowią istotny element każdej gospodarki. Obecność struktur klastrowych w gospodarce świadczy bowiem o poziomie jej rozwoju, a także wskazuje na jej potencjał oraz dalsze perspektywy rozwojowe. Ze względu na różnorodność struktur klastrowych nie ma dla wszystkich jednolitego zestawu instrumentów wspierających ich rozwój. Konieczne jest stosowanie różnych, odpowiednio dostosowanych do danego typu klastra instrumentów. Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie możliwości uzyskania przez klastry dofinansowania w ramach budżetu na lata 2014-2020.
