The Status

This article considers the ethical implications of a stance toward or relation with the natural environment that could be characterized as dominant across many sectors of not only the economy but consumption patterns generally. Despite popular perception or denial of climate change over the past decades, this is an implicit relation toward the collateral risks and damages to ecosystems by human activity. Not only are livelihoods sustained on the basis of natural resources but the direct costs of hydrocarbon development are borne locally in the environment. For some, this is understood to be without a personal cost despite the fears expressed. The article quotes from interviews with residents. It stages a broader, continuing conversation about the ambivalence of being dependent on hydrocarbons. This article explores the difficulty of developing an ethical engagement with the nonhuman and natural ecosystems when they are relegated to the status of what will be referred to as “bare nature.” Rather than state of exception or standing reserve, nonhuman nature is only present as a form of absence and as nonentities and does not present an ethical challenge or claim.

Commuting Mappings

In this paper, we introduce the notion of occasionally converse commuting (occ) mappings. Every converse commuting mappings ([1]) are (occ) but the converse need not be true (see, Ex.1.1-1.3). By using this concept, we prove two common fixed point results for a quadruple of self-mappings which satisfy an implicit relation. In first result one pair is (owc) [5] and the other is (occ), while in second result both the pairs are (occ). We illustrate our theorems by suitable examples. Since, there may exist mappings which are (occ) but not conversely commuting, the Theorems 1.1[2], 1.2[2] and 1.3[3] fails to handle those mapping pairs which are only (occ) but not conversely commuting (like Ex.1.4). On the other hand, since every conversely commuting mappings are (occ), so our Theorem 3.1 and 3.2 generalizes these theorems and the main results of Pathak and Verma [6]-[7]   Mathematics Subject Classifications: 47H10; 54H25. Keywords and Phrases: commuting mappings; conversely commuting mappings; occasionally converse commuting (occ) mappings; set of commuting mappings; fixed point.

Larger Sample

Using proxy statement data describing the terms of compensation contracts, we examine how overlapping membership between compensation and audit committees influences the use of earnings metrics in compensation. Although research predicts that such overlap could either increase or decrease the reliance on earnings, we find that firms with overlapping directors rely less on earnings-based performance measures in incentive contracts without altering the overall level of performance-contingent cash bonuses. In addition, we provide evidence that firms substitute earnings measures with measures less subject to earnings management. Our findings are robust to potential alternative explanations, extend to an implicit relation between earnings and compensation for a larger sample, and are not driven by the tendency toward an overlapping committee structure more broadly.
