Quantitative Research on Corporate Social Responsibility: A Quest for Relevance and Rigor in a Quickly Evolving, Turbulent World.

In this article, the co-editors of the corporate responsibility: quantitative issues section of the journal provide an overview of the quantitative CSR field and offer some new perspectives on where the field is going. They highlight key issues in developing impactful, theory-driven, and ethically grounded research and call for research that examines complex problems facing businesses and the society (e.g.

A forensic-driven data model for automatic vehicles events analysis.

Digital vision technologies emerged exponentially in all living areas to watch, play, control, or track events. Security checkpoints have benefited also from those technologies by integrating dedicated cameras in studied locations. The aim is to manage the vehicles accessing the inspection security point and fetching for any suspected ones.

Unoccupied electronic states of 2D Si on Ag-3-Si(111).

Optimizing substrate characterization to grow 2D Si layers on surfaces is a major issue toward the development of synthesis techniques of the promising silicene. We have used inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) to study the electronic band structure of an ordered 2D Si layer on the3×3-Ag/Si(111) surface (3-Ag). Exploiting the large upwards band bending of the3-Ag substrate, we could investigate the evolution of the unoccupied surface and interface states in most of the Si band gap.

Central serous chorioretinopathy: Professional repercussions among agents of the internal security forces.

Purpose: To describe the relationship between central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) and stress in addition to the transient and permanent professional repercussions of this condition among security forces agents.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive study of 22 CSCR patients. All patients were interviewed to establish their job status, a stressful triggering event, the number of consultations, absenteeism, the duration of episodes, the number of days off, exemption from certain activities and professional reclassification.
