Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a topic that has gained much attention lately. This attention however, is mainly focused on the consequences and benefits that are associated with CSR activities. This study contributes the extensive academic literature by finding determinants of CSR. It will do so by using the five most explanatory theories of the last decade. Using this multi-theoretic...

The topology of a network (connectivity of autonomous systems (ASes) or routers) has significant implications on the design of protocols and applications, and on the placement of services and data centers. Researchers and practitioners alike are in constant need of realistic topologies for their simulation, emulation, and testbed experiments. In this work, we propose a multi-level framework for...

We consider a dimensional reduction of 3+1 dimensional SU(N) YangMills theory coupled to adjoint fermions to obtain a class of 1 + 1 dimensional gauge theories. We derive the quantized light-cone Hamiltonian in the light-cone gauge A− = 0 and large-N limit, then solve for the masses, wavefunctions and of the color singlet boson and fermion boundstates. We find that the theory has many exact mas...

BACKGROUND Smoking prevalence is higher among low socio-economic status (LSES) groups, and this difference may originate from a higher intention to smoke in childhood. This study aims to identify factors that explain differences in intention to smoke between children living in high socio-economic status (HSES) and LSES neighbourhoods. METHODS Cross-sectional data were derived from the baselin...
