TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of co-opted directors on R&D investments was explored and it was shown that board co-option leads to significantly higher R&DI investments.
Abstract: We explore the effect of co-opted directors on R&D investments. Co-opted directors are those appointed after the incumbent CEO assumes office. Because a co-opted board represents a weakened governance mechanism that diminishes the probability of executive removal, managers are less likely to be removed and are more motivated to make long-term investments. Our evidence shows that board co-option leads to significantly higher R&D investments. To draw a causal inference, we execute a quasi-natural experiment using an exogenous regulatory shock from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). Our results reveal that the effect of board co-option on R&D is more likely causal.

TL;DR: Whether the status of being overweight or obese is associated with increase in the development of hepatotoxicity and acute liver injury in patients with acute acetaminophen overdose is evaluated.
Abstract: Purpose
Increased incidences of hepatotoxicity have been observed in obese patients with acute acetaminophen overdose. We evaluate whether the status of being overweight or obese is associated with increase in the development of hepatotoxicity and acute liver injury (ALI) in patients with acute acetaminophen overdose.
Methods
This was a retrospective cohort study comparing the risk of hepatotoxicity and ALI between overweight or obese patients (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 25) and normal BMI patients (BMI ≤ 24.9) presenting with acute acetaminophen overdose at Siriraj Hospital during January 2004 to June 2012. All patients were treated with intravenous N-acetylcysteine. Psi parameters were calculated. High psi was defined as psi of ≥5.0 mM-hour. Data were analyzed using multinomial logistic regressions, odds ratio (OR), stratified OR, and 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results
There were 197 patients who fulfilled the criteria for analysis, 35 (17.8%) were obese, 24 (12.2%) were overweight, and 138 (70%) were normal BMI cases. Hepatotoxicity and ALI developed in 25 (12.7%) and 40 (20.3%) cases, respectively. Multinomial logistic regression revealed that the overweight-obesity status and log10(psi value) were significant risk factors of ALI, with OR (95% CI) of 2.68 (1.21-5.95) and 1.74 (1.27-2.38), respectively, while only log10(psi) was a significant risk factor of hepatotoxicity with OR (95% CI) 378.51 (39.49-3627.99). From stratification, overweight-obesity had significant odds ratios for ALI in strata with low acetaminophen concentration, early initiation of N-acetylcysteine and low psi.
Conclusion
We conclude that being overweight or obese is an independent risk factor of ALI in acute acetaminophen overdoses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of floating markets in the Nakhon Pathom province as a creative tourism destination was examined by performing a two-stage qualitative study, in particular the perceptions of community leaders toward the possibility for established floating markets to become creative tourism destinations and the current and future constraints in such development.
Abstract: This article examines the potential of floating markets in the Nakhon Pathom province as a creative tourism destination by performing a two-stage qualitative study. It explores in particular the perceptions of community leaders toward the possibility for established floating markets to become creative tourism destinations and the current and future constraints in such development. In the first stage, an environmental scanning is performed using readiness indices for tourism destination, which are adopted from two sources. In the second stage, the perceptions of community leaders toward floating markets are examined through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. These investigations reveal the significant role of community leaders and their perspectives toward the direction and development of their communities. The investigations also identify the factors that promote and obstruct creative tourism in a particular floating market destination.
