Wage Arrears and Protest Behavior: What Do We Learn from Russia's Financial Crisis?

Abstract: This paper examines political protest during the 1998 financial crisis in Russia. Major factors behind individuals’ propensity towards protest action were identified through the use of a theoretical model. We test the model with data from the Institute of Sociology (IS) survey. In the empirical estimations, economic and welfare factors emerge as significantly related to the likelihood of political protest. The estimates also imply that the predictors of future participation will not necessarily be predictors of actual participation.

Senior executives and their boards: toward a more involved director

Abstract: Purpose – The aim of this paper is to explore the opportunities and barriers facing senior executives in supporting boards of directors in assuming an enhanced strategic function.Design/methodology/approach – Semi‐structured interviews with ten senior executives in four major publically listed Australian companies were conducted.Findings – Senior executives can do more to enable the strategic functioning of their boards. However, barriers, both perceived and real, often prevent or deter them from doing so. The conclusion is that boards and senior directors need to forge a more productive relationship to better serve the company's interests.Research limitations/implications – The paper serves as exploratory research in an under‐researched topic and may provide a platform for further, in‐depth research. Limitations of the study include the small sample size and the fact that the study was restricted to Australia and therefore this study's conclusions may not be transferable to other countries.Practical impl...

On homogeneity and small extensions of models of the theory of linear ordering

Abstract: Some properties concerning homogeneity and the existence of small extensions proved earlier for models of superstable theories, are proved here for models of the theory of linear ordering.

Boundary value conditions for linear differential equations with power degenerations

Abstract: On the interval $[0,1]$ we consider the nth order linear differential equation, the coefficient of the highest derivative of which is equivalent to the power function $t^{\mu }$ when $t\rightarrow 0$ The main aim of the paper is to pose “generalized” Cauchy conditions for the given equation at the point of singularity $t=0$, which would be correct for any $\mu >0$
