This research develops and evaluates predictive models to assess how corporate social responsibility (CSR) expenditures influence the financial performance of oil and gas firms in the United States. Although maximizing shareholder wealth remains a primary goal, it frequently conflicts with the interests...

This paper investigates a secure hybrid radio-frequency/free-space-optical (RF/FSO) communication architecture for smart grid and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure operating under composite fading channels. An AI-driven controller based on Q-learning dynamically adapts link selection and channel parameters...

Coastal flood is one of the most frequent disasters in coastal cities in Indonesia. Semarang the largest city in Central Java is one of the cities most affected by rising sea levels. The low land surface along the coast and decreasing every year accompanied by rising sea levels makes the city prone to...

Synergy from merger and acquisition (M&A) theoretically increases firm performance. However, diversification leads to coinsurance effect which reduces firm value. This study aims to analyze the relationship between synergy and firm performance measured using return on assets (ROA) and Tobin’s Q, with...

The article considers the influence of satellite television on the Internet and on the development of tourism culture (quality of intangible services).

This article delves into the Islamic thoughts of Misbah Mustofa, a Qur’anic Muslim scholar living in coastal area of Java, Indonesia. Generally speaking, Mustofa belongs to a circle of traditionalist ulama (Muslim scholars), yet his thoughts have a purifying nature in character. Considering the widespread...

We show that the solutions to the second-order differential equation associated to the generalised Chazy equation with parameters k = 2 and k = 3 naturally show up in the conformal rescaling that takes a representative metric in Nurowski’s conformal class associated to a maximally symmetric (2,3,5)-distribution...

Starting from an operator given as a product of q-exponential functions in irreducible representations of the positive discrete series of the q-deformed algebra suq(1, 1), we express the associated matrix elements in terms of d-orthogonal polynomials. An algebraic setting allows to establish some properties...

With social media user numbers reaching billions, firms seek to partake in the benefits of investing into social media activities. Existing literature, however, provides little insight as to whether investment in social media adds value for corporations. In particular, it remains difficult to quantify...

Given an associative unital ZN -graded algebra over the complex numbers we construct the graded q-differential algebra by means of a graded q-commutator, where q is a primitive N-th root of unity. The N-differential d of the graded q-differential algebra is a homogeneous endomorphism of degree 1 satisfying...

Weibo is a Chinese invented social media platform integrating key features of Facebook and Twitter, which make it a seemingly freer channel for individual to individual communication, so bypassing the gaze of authority. It has been extolled by its supporters as offering a vital public sphere, as a space...

At present, theoretical studies on collaboration evaluation of supply logistics based on Supply-Chain were very few, while almost no researches were on its index system. The paper took supply logistics system based on Supply-Hub as research object, built up a framework of performance evaluation system,...

The ownership structure is the basis of the development of companies, and performance measurement is critical for company to improve incomes. This study has empirically examined the relationship between the ownership structure and firm performance using a balanced panel of listed logistics companies...

According to the needs of the reader's personalized consultation, a self-help reference and consultation system is constructed based on micro-video courses and new media methods. The system consists of "micro-video Q & A classroom", resource navigation, Advisory website, QQ group and other real-time...

Based on the organizational commitment theory and self-efficacy theory,this paper constructs a social Q&A community user model for knowledge sharing behavior from four dimensions: Affective commitment, continuance commitment, normative commitment and knowledge self-efficacy. Moreover, the model and hypotheses...

The betrothal gift is a peculiar social phenomenon. The high bride price reveals the some culture. The article analyzed the betrothal gift from the theoretical perspective of social exchange. It is essentially a medium of marriage exchange. With the development of modernization, the price of it in rural...

We present a new method of investigating the so-called quasilinear strongly-damped wave equations in this paper, we concerned with the Controllability in a steady state for the Quasilinear Wave Equations with weak decay, and we use a so-called energy perturbation method to establish weak controllability...

This paper describes a new approach for implementation of an efficient real-time system proper for using in active video conferencing sessions. A camera tracks presenter’s head and its movements and orientations in an unconstrained environment automatically by its pan and tilt actions. Head or face is...
