Organizations’ activities impact on environment, economy and society. The recognition of business effects is the basis of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Nevertheless, not all social responsibility issues have the same relevance for every organization. The evaluation of CSR performance depends on those dimensions and stakeholders that are really affected by company activities. Moreov...

This paper utilizes the Korea Innovation Survey data to find out the determinants of industry-university and industry-GRI (IUG) cooperation and its impact on firm performance. We find first that among determinants of IUG cooperation, traditional firm characteristics variables of sizes and R&D intensity are not significant at all, while the participation at the national R&D project turns out be ...

We consider a monotone multistate system with conditionally independent compo nents given the component reliabilities and random component reliabilities Upper and lower bounds are derived for the moments of the random reliability function extending results for binary systems The second moment of the reliability function is given spe cial attention as this quantity is used to calculate the stand...

Advances in computational power, statistical methodology, and population genetics theory have recently had an impact on the way in which information is extracted from molecular genetic data. Several computationally intensive schemes have already been developed for analysis of such data under simple models (see for example Gri ths and Tavar e, 1994; Kuhner et al., 1995; Wilson and Balding, 1998)...

Global reporting initiative (GRI) is the global standard of sustainability. It epitomizes best practice triple bottom line, i.e., economic, environmental, and social impacts. This research an expert-based analysis 132 industry leaders policymakers from 36 industries to evaluate significance Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies on GRI adoption. In first phase, influence I4.0 standards analyzed using...

The problem of finding a suitable qualitative representation for robots to reason about activity spaces where they carry out tasks such as leading or interacting with a group of people is tackled in this paper. For that, a Qualitative Spatial model for Group Robot Interaction (QS-GRI) is proposed to define Kendon’s F-formations [16] depending on: (i) the relative location of the robot with resp...

Practical simulation of industrial-scale coal combustion relies on the ability to accurately capture the dynamics of coal subprocesses while also ensuring the computational cost remains reasonable. The majority of the residence time occurs post-devolatilization, so it is of great importance that a balance between the computational efficiency and accuracy of char combustion models is carefully c...
