What influenced the lack of diversity in CSR after the company's losses: evidence from topic modeling
The diversity of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure is a crucial dimension of corporate transparency, reflecting the breadth and resilience of a firm's social responsibility. Using CSR reports of Chinese A-share firms from 2006 to 2023, this paper applies Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to extract topics and quantifies disclosure diversity using the Gini-Simpson index and Shannon entropy. Regression results show that corporate losses significantly compress CSR topic diversity, c…

As recently as Thursday, Vladimir Putin told a Kremlin demographic conference that increasing births was “crucial” for Russia.
Putin has launched initiatives to encourage people to have more children -- from free school meals for large families to awarding Soviet-style “hero-mother” medals to women with 10 or more children.
“Many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had seven, eight, and even more children,” Putin said in 2023.
“Let’s preserve and revive these wonderful…

Russia's population is getting smaller and older. Putin sees that as a national security threat
Russia has grappled with a shrinking and aging population for decades, with President Vladimir Putin viewing it as a threat to national security. Yet despite efforts like cash incentives and family-friendly policies, the number of deaths now outpaces births. Economic uncertainty, restrictions on immigration and the war in Ukraine are making the crisis worse. Desperate to reverse the trend, Russian authorities are also rolling out a wave of restrictive laws, such as banning "child-free propagand…

Nearly Tight Bounds for the Online Sorting Problem
In the online sorting problem, a sequence of $n$ numbers in $[0, 1]$ (including $\{0,1\}$) have to be inserted in an array of size $m \ge n$ so as to minimize the sum of absolute differences between pairs of numbers occupying consecutive non-empty cells. Previously, Aamand {\em et al.} (SODA 2023) gave a deterministic $2^{\sqrt{\log n} \sqrt{\log \log n + \log (1/\varepsilon)}}$-competitive algorithm when $m = (1+\varepsilon) n$ for any $\varepsilon \ge Ω(\log n/n)$. They also showed a lower b…

When Your Reviewer is an LLM: Biases, Divergence, and Prompt Injection Risks in Peer Review
Peer review is the cornerstone of academic publishing, yet the process is increasingly strained by rising submission volumes, reviewer overload, and expertise mismatches. Large language models (LLMs) are now being used as "reviewer aids," raising concerns about their fairness, consistency, and robustness against indirect prompt injection attacks. This paper presents a systematic evaluation of LLMs as academic reviewers. Using a curated dataset of 1,441 papers from ICLR 2023 and NeurIPS 2022, we…

Artificial Intelligence in Breast Cancer Care: Transforming Preoperative Planning and Patient Education with 3D Reconstruction
Effective preoperative planning requires accurate algorithms for segmenting anatomical structures across diverse datasets, but traditional models struggle with generalization. This study presents a novel machine learning methodology to improve algorithm generalization for 3D anatomical reconstruction beyond breast cancer applications. We processed 120 retrospective breast MRIs (January 2018-June 2023) through three phases: anonymization and manual segmentation of T1-weighted and dynamic contras…

Nonlinear corrections to the nuclear heavy flavor structure functions
We study numerically the small-$x$ behaviour of the nuclear gluon distribution function $ G^A(x,Q^2)$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) approximation of the Gribov-Levin-Ryskin-Mueller-Qiu, Zhu-Ruan-Shen (GLR-MQ-ZRS) nonlinear equation and quantify the impact of gluon recombination in the kinematic range of $x \le 10^{-2}$ and $Q^2 \ge 5 \text{GeV}^2$ respectively. The results are comparable to the Rausch-Guzey-Klasen (RGK) [J.Rausch, V.Guzey and M.Klasen, Phys. Rev. D 107, 054003 (2023)] nuclear …

Distance restricted matching extensions in regular non-bipartite graphs
Let $m$ and $r$ be integers with $m \ge r \ge 3$ and let $G$ be an $r$-regular graph of even order. Let $M$ be a matching in $G$ of size $m$ such that each pair of edges in $M$ is at distance at least $3$. In 2023, Aldred et al. proved that if $G$ is cyclically $(mr-r+1)$-edge-connected and $G$ is bipartite, then there exists a perfect matching of $G$ containing $M$. In this paper, we present non-bipartite analogues of Aldred et al.'s theorem. An odd ear of $U \subseteq V(G)$ is a path of odd l…

A type II solar radio burst without a coronal mass ejection association
Type II solar radio bursts are commonly associated with shocks generated by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), where plasma waves are excited by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) processes and converted into radio waves at the local plasma frequency or its harmonics. However, there are instances where type II bursts occur in the absence of whitelight CMEs. We analysed one such metric type II radio burst observed on November 2, 2023, characterized by split band features and fundamental-harmonic lanes. Notab…

Evaluation of Time Series Forecasting Models for Predicting Lung Cancer Mortality Rates in the United States: A Comparison with Altuhaifa (2023) Study
This paper evaluates the performance of the following time series forecasting models - Simple Exponential Smoothing (SES), Holt's Double Exponential Smoothing (HDES), and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) - in predicting lung cancer mortality rates in the United States. It builds upon the work of Altuhaifa, which used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data from 1975-2018 to evaluate these models. Altuhaifa's study found that ARIMA (0,2,2), SES with smoothing para…

Investigating LLM Variability in Personalized Conversational Information Retrieval
Personalized Conversational Information Retrieval (CIR) has seen rapid progress in recent years, driven by the development of Large Language Models (LLMs). Personalized CIR aims to enhance document retrieval by leveraging user-specific information, such as preferences, knowledge, or constraints, to tailor responses to individual needs. A key resource for this task is the TREC iKAT 2023 dataset, designed to evaluate personalization in CIR pipelines. Building on this resource, Mo et al. explored …

As described in [Legrand et al., Macromolecules 56, 2298-2308 (2023)], CB-CMC hydrogels exist in two flavors: either electrically conductive when featuring a percolated netwo…

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of industry--academia collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI) research, focusing on papers from two major international conferences, AAAI and IJCAI, from 2010 to 2023. Most previous studies have relied on publishers and other databases to analyze bibliographic information. However, these databases have problems, such as missing articles and omitted metadata. Therefore, we adopted a novel approach to extract bibliographic information directly fro…

Residential and industrial areas are using rooftop grid-tied Photovoltaic (PV) systems, which are becoming increasingly popular. This is because solar energy reduces electrical consumption and provides free energy, while also lowering carbon emissions to create a more sustainable environment. This paper aims to analyze the 2.72kW p rooftop grid-tied PV system performance between 2020 and 2023 in Tarlac City, Philippines. The PV generated yearly is measured by Array Yield (YA), Reference Yield (…

The high order spectral radius of graphs without long cycles or paths
In 1959, Erdős and Gallai established two classic theorems, which determine the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph with no cycles of length at least $k$, and in an $n$-vertex graph with no paths on $k$ vertices, respectively. Subsequently, generalized and spectral versions of the Erdős-Gallai theorems have been investigated. A concept of a high order spectral radius for graphs was introduced in 2023, defined as the spectral radius of a tensor and termed the $t$-clique spectral rad…
