The Greater Planetary Good: From A Precept to a Program

The author unequivocally sets forth the shortcomings of neoliberalism and what it has wrought worldwide. For without understanding the deficiencies ― and with hope, the remedies ― of conducting “business as usual,” global challenges such as climate change will remain unabated. For the greater planetary good, Manolopoulos puts forth certain tasks which must be undertaken to fully comprehend the necessity of conceiving the greater planetary good. He offers, in lieu of a negative critique, a blueprint of sorts … detailing how to fundamentally inform, and reform, global social organization

Charged R\'enyi Entropies in CFTs with Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Holographic Duals

We calculate the R\'enyi entropy $S_q(\mu,\lambda)$, for a spherical entangling surface in CFT's with Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-Maxwell holographic duals. R\'enyi entropies must obey some interesting inequalities by definition. However, for Gauss-Bonnet couplings $\lambda$, larger than a specific value, but still allowed by causality, we observe a violation of the inequality $\frac{\partial}{{\partial q}}\left({\frac{{q - 1}}{q}S_q(\mu,\lambda)} \right) \ge 0$, which is related to the existence of negative entropy black holes, providing interesting restrictions in the bulk theory. Moreover, we find an interesting distinction of the behaviour of the analytic continuation of $S_q(\mu,\lambda)$ for imaginary chemical potential, between negative and non-negative $\lambda$.Comment: 50 pages, 16 figures. v3: Version to appear in JHE

CLEAR: a credible method to evaluate website archivability

Web archiving is crucial to ensure that cultural, scientific and social heritage on the web remains accessible and usable over time. A key aspect of the web archiving process is optimal data extraction from target websites. This procedure is difficult for such reasons as, website complexity, plethora of underlying technologies and ultimately the open-ended nature of the web. The purpose of this work is to establish the notion of Website Archivability (WA) and to introduce the Credible Live Evaluation of Archive Readiness (CLEAR) method to measure WA for any website. Website Archivability captures the core aspects of a website crucial in diagnosing whether it has the potentiality to be archived with completeness and accuracy. An appreciation of the archivability of a web site should provide archivists with a valuable tool when assessing the possibilities of archiving material and in- uence web design professionals to consider the implications of their design decisions on the likelihood could be archived. A prototype application, archiveready.com, has been established to demonstrate the viabiity of the proposed method for assessing Website Archivability

Transfer of technology in Multinational Enterprises and the Roles of Subsidiaries: an Empirical Investigation

This paper considers the Multinational Enterprise (MNE) as a differentiated learning network with subsidiaries playing a critical role in managing knowledge. Drawing on sample of 92 subsidiaries operating in Greece, this paper empirically tests the relationship between sources of technology acquired and/or generated (internally or externally) and relates them to differently strategically motivated subsidiaries.
