How Do Powerful CEOs View Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)? An Empirical Note

Abstract: We explore how powerful CEOs view investments in corporate social responsibility (CSR) The agency view suggests that CEOs invest in CSR to enhance their own private benefits On the contrary, the conflict resolution view argues that CSR investments are made to resolve the conflicts among various stakeholders Using Bebchuk, Cremers, and Peyer’s (2011) CEO Pay Slice (CPS) to measure CEO power, we show that the association between CEO power and CSR is non-monotonic When the CEO is relatively less powerful, an increase in CEO power leads to more CSR engagement However, as the CEO becomes substantially more powerful, he is more entrenched and no longer invests more in CSR In fact, when CEO power goes beyond a certain threshold, more powerful CEOs significantly reduce CSR investments

Identification of prohibitin as a Chikungunya virus receptor protein

Abstract: National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, National Science and Technology Development Agency,Pathumthani, ThailandChikungunya virus (CHIKV) has recently re-emerged causing millions of infections in coun-tries around the Indian Ocean. While CHIKV hasa broad host cell range and productively infectsa number of different cell types, macrophageshave been identified as a potential viral reser-voir serving to increase the duration of symp-toms. To date no CHIKV interacting protein hasbeen characterized and this study sought toidentify CHIKV binding proteins expressed ontarget cell membranes. Two-dimensional virusoverlay identified prohibitin (PHB) as a micro-glial cell expressed CHIKV binding protein. Co-localization, co-immunoprecipitation as well asantibody and siRNA mediated infection inhibi-tion studies all confirmed a role for PHB in me-diating internalization of CHIKV into microglialcells. PHB is the first identified CHIKV receptorprotein, and this study is evidence that PHBmay play a role in the internalization of multipleviruses. J. Med. Virol. 84:1757–1770,2012.

Multicore triangle computations without tuning

Abstract: Triangle counting and enumeration has emerged as a basic tool in large-scale network analysis, fueling the development of algorithms that scale to massive graphs. Most of the existing algorithms, however, are designed for the distributed-memory setting or the external-memory setting, and cannot take full advantage of a multicore machine, whose capacity has grown to accommodate even the largest of real-world graphs.
