SUNY Oswego School of Business faculty members Kristin Lee Sotak and Barry A. Friedman recently published research based on the question: When people see what you’re wearing, do they think you're ethical? Sotak and Friedman published their research in the Journal of Business Ethics with co-authors Andra Serban from Virginia Commonwealth University and Michael Palanski from Rochester Institute of Technology. “Perceptions of Ethicality: The Role of Attire Style, Attire Appropriateness, and Context” explains that attire style, appropriateness and context all play a role in shaping others' perceptions of ethicality. Researchers looked at casual, business casual and business formal attire in the multi-study project. They found business casual –- the only style with only positive perceptions -– seemed to represent the “happy medium” between casual and business formal. Read full story.
SUNY Oswego was represented in the international American Physical Society March Meeting in Las Vegas, a meeting which hosted about 12,000 physicists from all over the world. Physics professor Carolina Ilie helped physics major Joel Turallo (pictured) prepare for the important meeting and poster presentation titled "Optically Active Graphenic Nanoflakes: the h-BCN Monolayers" under the category Nanostructures (non-carbon) (Wires, Dots, Nanotubes etc): Optical and Non- Electronic Phenomena. An addition to Turallo and Ilie, authors included Wai-Ning Mei (University of Nebraska - Omaha), Renat Sabirianov (University of Nebraska - Omaha), Lu Wang (CAS Key Lab of Materials for Energy Conversion, University of Science and Technology of China), Lauren Samson (also SUNY Oswego physics student, now working on her Ph.D in Physics at University at Buffalo), David Brunken-Deibert (University of Nebraska - Omaha), Peter A. Dowben (University of Nebraska - Lincoln). The work was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation, with computations performed at Holland Computing Center, and the travel sponsored by SUNY Oswego.
A paper that two Oswego students (Hugh Randall and Selim Kalici) worked on in Munich in summer 2022 was accepted for publication in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Main Journal, one of the most prestigious astrophysics journals. "A multiphase study of theoretical and observed light curves of classical Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds" is “the first paper to do a rigorous test of various theories of turbulent convection on the structure of theoretical Cepheid light curves,” said their mentor, physics professor Shashi Kanbur. In addition, Kanbur recently published "Predicting light curves of RR Lyrae variables using artificial neural network based interpolation of a grid of pulsation models," also in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Main Journal.
Gerard Kelly, assistant professor of marketing and management department, co-authored a chapter in a book selected as a finalist in the annual American Marketing Association's Award for Responsible Research in Marketing. The book is titled “The Dark Side of Social Media: A Consumer Psychology Perspective,” edited by Angeline Close Scheinbaum for Routledge/Psychology Press.
