THE ETHICAL DILEMMA OF EXPATRIATES IN EMERGING ECONOMIES: A LIMINAL PERSPECTIVE

Adjustment to emerging economies is benefited if Western expatriates recognise they are experiencing a liminal situation, which can lead to the instrumental utilisation of coping strategies as equivalent to rites of passage between distinct ethical frameworks. Given the characteristics ascribed to rites, the ethical dilemma resulting from the simultaneous demand to abide by local rules and to respect Western ethical principles is more easily solved. Consequently, effective and sustainable adjustment is favoured. Implications for organisations and individuals are discussed. JEL codes:

Fake News Detection using Natural Language Processing

Nowadays with the advance of technologies we have vast access to any sort of information. We are able to use our phone/computer to access the news of any part of the world. It is great to keep us informed about everything that is happening around the world. It is also a powerful tool used for companies while making strategic business decisions. The biggest issue is that technology can and is being used to manipulate people/companies by propagating fake news. Fake news can mislead people\u27s perceptions while forming opinions on a determined subject. It can also have a big impact on a company during the strategic decision-making process. Our fake news detection model will allow people/companies to identify whether the news/information is real or not. With the model, people can form opinions on any subject without being manipulated by fake news. In the same way, companies can make better market decisions based on the analyses of real news/information instead of being influenced by fake news. Our fake news detection model will use NLP (Natural Language Processing) to predict if the news is real or fake. See below for a more detailed explanation of how our model will predict the news by analysing phrase patterns

Dynamic RKKY interaction in graphene

The growing interest in carbon-based spintronics has stimulated a number of recent theoretical studies on the RKKY interaction in graphene, based on which the energetically favourable alignment between magnetic moments embedded in this material can be calculated. The general consensus is that the strength of the RKKY interaction in graphene decays as 1/D3 or faster, where D is the separation between magnetic moments. Such an unusually fast decay for a 2-dimensional system suggests that the RKKY interaction may be too short ranged to be experimentally observed in graphene. Here we show in a mathematically transparent form that a far more long ranged interaction arises when the magnetic moments are taken out of their equilibrium positions and set in motion. We not only show that this dynamic version of the RKKY interaction in graphene decays far more slowly but also propose how it can be observed with currently available experimental methods.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, submitte
