Does board diversity affect firm performance? Evidence from the Italian Financial Sector
2017
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of diversity in the board of directors on the performance of the listed Italian financial institutions. The sample is a data set of 177 firm-year observations covering 2011 to 2014. The performance of the firm is measured by Tobin’s Q while board diversity is analysed considering the percentage of female and foreign directors on the board (or their conjoint presence as a proxy of overall demographic diversity) and task-diversity is measured by board interlocking directorship and busy directors. Findings suggest that female directors have no effect on firm performance. Foreign directors and interlocking directorship have, instead, a positive stat…
Análise de divulgação de risco no Relatório Anual de Governança corporativa utilizando fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis
2016
ABSTRACT This paper explores the necessary and sufficient conditions of good Corporate Governance practices for high risk disclosure by firms in their Corporate Governance Annual Report. Additionally, we explore whether those recipes have changed during the financial crisis. With a sample of 271 Spanish listed companies, we applied fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to a database of financial and non-financial data. We report that Board of Directors independence, size, level of activity and gender diversity, CEO duality, Audit Committee independence, being audited by the Big Four auditing firms and the presence of institutional investors are associated with high risk disclosure. The…
Busyness of audit committee directors and quality of financial information in India
2016
The audit committees, as a part of the internal corporate governance mechanisms, play an important role to enhance the financial reporting quality. The busyness of audit committee members of a firm in boards and committees of other firms can affect its independent functioning, ceteris paribus. The current study examines, first, the association between multiple directorships of audit committee members and quality of financial reporting in India, second, whether endogenously determined busyness limits of busyness of the audit committee members provide better insights than those exogenously mandated by regulators. The study finds that endogenously determined busyness limits of sub-samples and …
Organizational change in higher education in Colombia: Perspectives and challenges
2020
[ES] Este artículo presenta, de un lado, una perspectiva de las principales transformaciones y retos de la educación superior en Colombia y, de otro, los cambios organizativos que, en el marco de dichos retos, vienen desarrollando las instituciones de educación superior, así como un panorama frente a las estructuras administrativas y el perfil de formación de sus dirigentes. Para ello se desarrolló un análisis teórico y un estudio empírico que consistió en el diseño, validación y aplicación de un cuestionario a directores de programas del campo de la educación física en el país. Los resultados del análisis teórico dan cuenta de la evolución histórica de la educación superior en diversos mom…
Visibilidad LGTB en tiempos de “gilets jaunes”
2020
La presente investigación se plantea como un acercamiento a distintos espacios urbanos alternativos franceses desde una perspectiva LGTB. La recogida de datos se hizo a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas a distintos responsables de espacios culturales y a jóvenes directores de cine. También se hace servir el análisis de los datos conocidos en base a una observación participante, ya que este trabajo parte de una experiencia personal llevada a cabo en París durante entre 2018 y 2019. En el plazo de dos años hemos detectado un importante cambio de la situación en lo referido a la visibilidad y percepción de la diversidad sexual en el ámbito francés. Y todo ello sin perder de vista el impa…
Transparent Boundary Condition for Oseen-Frank Model. Application for NLC Cells With Patterned Electrodes
2015
In the present work a novel application of Transparent Boundary Conditions (TBC) to nematic liquid crystal cells (NLCC) with planar alignment and a patterned electrode is studied. This device is attracting great interest since it allows soliton steering by optically and externally induced waveguides. We employ the continuum Oseen-Frank theory to find the tilt and twist angle distributions in the cell under the one-constant approximation. The electric field distribution takes into account the whole 2D permittivity tensor for the transverse coordinates. Standard finite difference time domain methods together with an iterative method is applied to find an approximate solution to our coupled pr…
Teaching Argumentation Theory and Practice: The Case of 12 Angry Men
2011
The aim of this contribution is to illustrate how the pragmadialectical model of critical discussion may be explained and studied with the jurors' deliberations in the film 12 Angry Men. The film itself may be understood as an argument by example, and to defend this idea we take into consideration the thesis that the filmmaker wants to establish, the constraints of the medium, and the three classical perspectives on argumentation.

Comparison of parallel implementation of some multi-level Schwarz methods for singularly perturbed parabolic problems
1999
Abstract Parallel multi-level algorithms combining a time discretization and an overlapping domain decomposition technique are applied to the numerical solution of singularly perturbed parabolic problems. Two methods based on the Schwarz alternating procedure are considered: a two-level method with auxiliary “correcting” subproblems as well as a three-level method with auxiliary “predicting” and “correcting” subproblems. Moreover, modifications of the methods using time extrapolation on subdomain interfaces are investigated. The emphasis is given to the description of the algorithms as well as their computer realization on a distributed memory multiprocessor computer. Numerical experiments …
