TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the potential impact of managerial entrenchment through staggered boards on dividend policy and find that firms with staggered boards are more likely to pay dividends. And they also show that the impact of staggered board on dividend payouts is substantially stronger than the effect of all other corporate governance provisions combined.
Abstract: Motivated by agency theory, we explore the potential impact of managerial entrenchment through staggered boards on dividend policy. The evidence suggests that firms with staggered boards are more likely to pay dividends. Among firms that pay dividends, those with staggered boards pay larger dividends. We also show that the impact of staggered boards on dividend payouts is substantially stronger (as much as two to three times larger) than the effect of all other corporate governance provisions combined. Overall, the evidence is consistent with the notion that dividends help alleviate agency conflicts. Thus, firms more vulnerable to managerial entrenchment, i.e., firms with staggered boards, rely more on dividends to mitigate agency costs. Aware of potential endogeneity, we demonstrate that staggered boards likely bring about, and are not merely associated with, larger dividend payouts. Our results are important, as they show that certain governance provisions have considerably more influence than others on critical corporate activities such as dividend payout decisions.

TL;DR: Ultrastructural alterations in the liver and kidney of 3‐month‐old white sea bass, Latescalcarifer, after cadmium exposure were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Abstract: Ultrastructural alterations in the liver and kidney of 3-month-old white sea bass, Latescalcarifer, after cadmium exposure were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). One group of fish was exposed to a cadmium concentration of 10 mg/L (acute) for 96 h in a static system, and another group was exposed to cadmium concentrations of 0.8 and 3 mg/L cadmium (subchronic) for 3 months in a recirculation closed system. Ultrastructural alterations observed in the hepatocytes included mitochondrial condensation, swelling, and lysis. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) showed dilation, fragmentation, and vesiculation. After subchronic exposure there were numerous large lipid droplets and abundant stored glycogen. Ultrastructural alterations observed in the proximal tubules of the kidney included nuclear degeneration, condensation, and massive swelling of the mitochondria; RER fragmentation and vesiculation. Disorganized brush borders and increased numbers of large hydropic vacuoles and lysosomes were also observed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Environ Toxicol 19: 11–19, 2004.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe fragmentation of N. larvatus habitats in the Lower Kinabatangan and the implications of such fragmentations on their long-term survival, particularly given that the prime areas for tourist accommodations and associated facilities typically comprising riverside habitats are critical to the species.
Abstract: Timber extraction from the lowland forests of the Lower Kinabatangan floodplain was widespread since the early 1980s and was the major threat to Nasalis larvatus populations. Since then, much of the region has been clear-felled to make way either for cocoa and oil palm plantations or for smaller government-sponsored farming projects. Such clearances not only led to a severe loss of habitats for N. larvatus, but also fragmented the remaining forests. Then beginning in the early 1990s, interests and the relative ease in viewing proboscis monkeys and other wildlife in the Lower Kinabatangan led to a booming tourism industry in parts of the region. This further fragmented N. larvatus habitats and threatened their survival, particularly given that the prime areas for tourist accommodations and associated facilities typically comprising riverside habitats are critical to the species. N. larvatus sleeping sites are determined by the presence of standing trees adjacent or overhanging large water bodies; therefore, loss of those trees or loss of access to those trees have several socio-ecological and conservation implications. Here I describe fragmentation of N. larvatus habitats in the Lower Kinabatangan and the implications of such fragmentations on their long-term survival.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a theoretical framework for the creation of the airport experience in relation to tourism, by integrating the perspectives of sociological, psychological, and service marketing and management, all of which affect the passenger experience.
