Following a long stream of literature on the drivers of Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) activities, this study examines the effect of corporate leverage on several decisions of M&A deals in the context of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Using M&A data from the Thomson One database for the period between 2005 and 2022, we find that corporate leverage significantly influences the type of M&A target. This study further adds to the prior literature on the contradictory behaviours of high and low leverage firms by examining whether acquisition decisions differ amongst them in M&A deals in the UAE context. Results indicate that high (low) leverage firms are less (more) likely to acquire private targets and more (less) inclined to acquire a target from a different (same) industry. Furthermore, our results show that the relationship between the method of payment used in M&A deals and corporate leverage is insignificant. We control for endogeneity using Heckman’s two-stage method. In brief, this paper extends the literature with conclusive evidence that considerations of capital structure can significantly anticipate and explain firms’ behaviour toward M&A choices. The implication of findings may include a call to reform some aspects of the Competition Law in the UAE by requiring private firms to enhance their disclosure practices similar to their public counterparts.

This dataset was created in the context of the project: " Current trends in scientific research on global warming: A bibliometric analysis (2005-2014)".

Global warming is a topic of increasing public importance, but there have not been published scientometric studies on this topic. The objective of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the scientific knowledge in global warming and his effect, as well as to investigate its evolution through the published papers included in Web of Science database. Items under study were collected from Web of Science database from Thomson Reuters. A bibliometric and social network analyses was performed to obtain indicators of scientific productivity, impact and collaboration between researchers, institutions and countries. A subject analysis was also carried out taking into account the key words assigned to papers and subject areas of journals. 1,672 articles were analysed since 2005 until 2014. The most productive journals were Journal of Climate (n=95) and Geophysical Resarch Letters (n=78). The most frequent keywords have been Climate Change (n=722), Model (n=216) and Temperature (n=196). The network of collaboration between countries shows the central position of the United States, together with other leading countries such as United Kingdom, Germany, France and Peoples Republic of China. The research on global warming had grown steadily during the last decade. A vast amount of journals from several subject areas publishes the papers on the topic, including journals of general purpose with high impact factor. Almost all the countries have USA as the main country with which one collaborates. The analysis of key words shows that topics related with climate change, impact, temperature, models and variability are the most important concerns on global warming.

Climate change impact syntheses, such as those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), consistently assert that limiting global warming to 1.5°C is unlikely to safeguard most of the world’s coral reefs. This prognosis primarily stems from 'excess heat’ threshold models, which assume that widespread coral bleaching predictably occurs when temperatures accumulate beyond a specific threshold. Our systematic review of research projecting coral reef futures to climate change (n=79) revealed that 'excess heat' models constituted only one third (32%) of all studies but attracted a high proportion (68%) of citations in the field. We observed that most methods employed deterministic cause-and-effect rules rather than probabilistic relationships, impeding the field's ability to estimate uncertainties of coral reef futures. In attempting to assess the consistency of projected impacts, we aimed to identify common coral reef metrics under the same emissions scenarios. However, disparate choices in metrics and emissions scenarios hindered a cohesive synthesis and limited the exploratory analysis to a small fraction of available studies. We found substantial discrepancies in expected impacts to coral reefs, suggesting that some 'excess heat' models may project more extreme impacts than other methods. Drawing on lessons from the field of climate change science, we propose that an IPCC ensemble-like approach to generating probabilistic projections for coral reef futures is feasible. Successful implementation will require improved coordination among modeling efforts to select common output metrics and emission scenarios, addressing existing geographical biases, among other gaps in current modeling efforts. Methods We conducted a comprehensive literature search using the Thomson Reuters Web of Science database to identify studies that projecting the impacts of climate change on shallow tropical and sub-tropical coral reefs. This search, adhering to PRISMA guidelines, yielded 2705 peer-reviewed articles, which we refined to 79 relevant articles published between 1999 and 2023 based on a specific selection criteria (Dataset 1). These studies were categorized into five major methodology types and further classified based on their approaches to simulating heat stress. Key characteristics such as the model output variables, spatial scale, and geographic area of each study were extracted, along with their methodological approaches, assumptions, and the techniques used.Our study aimed to assess and compare the projected impacts and uncertainties of various model types using a meta-analysis approach. The database of 79 studies was considered for inclusion in the exploratory meta-analysis based on specific criteria (view published article and supplementary methods for detailed list and Supplementary Figure 1). Briefly, to enable a meaningful analysis, we identified the three most frequently used model outputs in our database. Among those, only studies that provided: 1) sufficient data for projection estimates and uncertainty measures to be reliably extracted or calculated, 2) reported end-of-century projections, and 3) used a baseline period between 2000 and 2015, were selected for the exploratory meta-analysis. In cases where projection and uncertainty estimates were presented in figures, values were extracted using PlotDigitizer, where possible.

Research dissemination and knowledge translation are imperative in social work. Methodological developments in data visualization techniques have improved the ability to convey meaning and reduce erroneous conclusions. The purpose of this project is to examine: (1) How are empirical results presented visually in social work research?; (2) To what extent do top social work journals vary in the publication of data visualization techniques?; (3) What is the predominant type of analysis presented in tables and graphs?; (4) How can current data visualization methods be improved to increase understanding of social work research? Method: A database was built from a systematic literature review of the four most recent issues of Social Work Research and 6 other highly ranked journals in social work based on the 2009 5-year impact factor (Thomson Reuters ISI Web of Knowledge). Overall, 294 articles were reviewed. Articles without any form of data visualization were not included in the final database. The number of articles reviewed by journal includes : Child Abuse & Neglect (38), Child Maltreatment (30), American Journal of Community Psychology (31), Family Relations (36), Social Work (29), Children and Youth Services Review (112), and Social Work Research (18). Articles with any type of data visualization (table, graph, other) were included in the database and coded sequentially by two reviewers based on the type of visualization method and type of analyses presented (descriptive, bivariate, measurement, estimate, predicted value, other). Additional revi ew was required from the entire research team for 68 articles. Codes were discussed until 100% agreement was reached. The final database includes 824 data visualization entries.

Using all stocks listed in the London Stock Exchange for the period from January 1989 to December 2018, the dataset comprises the following series:

1. Annual returns for 20 asset growth portfolios, following Fama and French (1993) methodology.
2. Annual returns for 25 portfolios size-book to market equity, following Fama and French (1993) methodology.
3. Annual returns for 62 industry portfolios, using two-digit SIC codes.
4. Fama and French (1993) factors for their three-factor model (RM, SMB and HML).
5. Fama and French (2015) factors for their five-factor model (RM, SMB, HML, RMW, and CMA).
6. Variation of the Amihid illiquidy measure for the London Stock Exchange, following Amihud (2002) methodology.
7. Three-month interest rate of the Treasury Bill for the United Kingdom, as provided by the OECD database.

We have produced these series using the following data from Thomson Reuters Datastream: (i) total return index (RI series), (ii) market value (MV series), (iii) market-to-book equity (PTBV series), (iv) total assets (WC02999 series), (v) return on equity (WC08301 series), (vi) tax rate (WC08346 series), (vii) primary SIC codes, (viii) turnover by volume (VO series), and (ix) the market price (P series). Following Griffin et al. (2010), we use the generic rules provided by the authors for excluding non-common equity securities from Datastream data.

AbstractActive restoration is becoming an increasingly important conservation intervention to counteract the degradation of marine coastal ecosystems. Understanding what has motivated the scientific community to research the restoration of marine coastal ecosystems and how restoration research projects are funded is essential if we want to scale-up restoration interventions to meaningful extents.Here, we systematically review and synthesize data to understand the motivations for research on the restoration of coral reefs, seagrass, mangroves, saltmarsh, and oyster reefs. We base this analysis off a published database of marine restoration studies, originally designed to estimate the cost and feasibility of marine coastal restoration, derived from mostly scientific studies published in peer-reviewed and some grey literature. For the present study, the database was updated with fields aimed at assessing the motivations, outcomes, and funding sources for each project. We classify restoration motivations into five categories: biotic, experimental, idealistic, legislative, and pragmatic. Moreover, we evaluate the variables measured and outcomes reported by the researchers and evaluate whether projects adhered to the Society for Ecological Restoration’s (SER) standards for the practice of ecological restoration. The most common motivation of the scientific community to study restoration in marine coastal ecosystems was experimental i.e. to seek experimental data to answer ecological research questions or improve restoration approach, as expected since mostly peer-reviewed literature was evaluated here. There were differences in motivations among the five coastal ecosystems. For instance, biodiversity enhancement was the most common case for a biotic motivation in mangrove restoration projects. The most common metrics evaluated were growth/productivity, survivorship, habitat function, physical attributes and reproduction. For most ecosystems, ecological outcomes were frequently reported, with socio-economic implications of the restoration rarely mentioned, except for mangroves. Projects were largely funded by governmental grants with some investment from private donations, non-governmental organizations, and the involvement of volunteers. Our findings and database provide critical data to align future research of the scientific community with the real social, economic and policy needs required to scale-up marine coastal restoration projects., MethodsThe database of Bayraktarov et al. (2016) which included publications up to 2014, was expanded for the present study using the following methods: The database was updated to include publications until 2018. This involved a systematic literature search using Web of Science (Core collection; Thomson Reuters, New York, New York, U.S.A.) and Scopus (Elsevier, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A.) and the title search terms ‘(ecosystemA* OR ecosystemB*) AND restor*’, as well as ‘(ecosystemA * OR ecosystemB*) AND rehab*’. The terms ecosystemA and ecosystemB were used as placeholders for two different words describing the same ecosystem (e.g., coral and coral reef, mangrove and mangal, saltmarsh and salt marsh, shellfish and oyster). For consistency with Bayraktarov et al. (2016), An EndNote (Version X8.1; Thomson Reuters.) search was then performed within the full text using the search terms ‘(cost* OR feasib* OR surviv*)’. Additional information was gathered by following citations, personal communications, and inspecting diverse restoration databases and webpages. Reports included in the database were mostly from the published literature but also included some information from webpages and personal communications. English was the primary language in which the restoration projects were described with a few exceptions in Spanish. The updated database consisted of 275 studies of which 64% were scientific papers published in journals and 36% included other reports (e.g. books, book chapters, conference proceedings, reports, webpages, and personal communication)., Usage notesThis database represents the core part of the synthesis paper "Priorities and motivations of marine coastal restoration research". It contains information on cost and success of restoration projects worldwide described by the published literature, some grey literature and a few personal communications. This database is an update of the database "The cost and feasibility of marine coastal restoration" which captured information on the restoration of coral reefs, seagrass, mangroves, saltmarshes, and oyster reefs until November 2014. The update involves data extracted from the literature published until March 2018, data on motivations to carry out the restoration projects, information on whether the Standards for Ecological Restoration were followed by the projects, ...
