Sources of stakeholder salience in the responsible investment movement: why do investors sign the Principles for Responsible Investment?
Since its inception in 2006, the United Nations-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) have grown to over 1300 signatories representing over $45 trillion. This growth is not slowing down. In this paper, we argue that there is a set of attributes which make the PRI salient as a stakeholder and its claim to sign the six PRI important to institutional investors. We use Mitchell et al.’s (Acad Manag Rev 22:853–886, 1997) theoretical framework of stakeholder salience, as extended by Gifford (J Bus Eth 92:79–97, 2010). We use as evidence confidential data from the annual survey of signatories carried out by the PRI in a 5-year period between 2007 and 2011. The findings highlight pragmatic and organizational legitimacy, normative and utilitarian power, and management values as the attributes that contribute most to the salience of the PRI as a stakeholder

Redução nos níveis de ansiedade e depressão de pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) participantes de um programa de reabilitação pulmonar Reduction on the levels of anxiety and depression of COPD patients participating in a pulmonary rehabilitation program
Objetivos: A abordagem multidisciplinar oferecida por programas de reabilitação pulmonar (PRP) tem sido a melhor alternativa terapêutica para o tratamento de portadores de doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica. Este ensaio clínico avaliou a prevalência de ansiedade e depressão e o efeito de um PRP sobre os níveis de ansiedade e depressão de 46 portadores de DPOC (idade: 62 ± 11 anos; 34 homens e 12 mulheres). Pacientes e métodos: Os pacientes participaram de um PRP com 12 semanas de duração: 24 sessões de exercícios físicos, 24 sessões de fisioterapia, 12 sessões de acompanhamento psicológico e três sessões educacionais. Todos os pacientes foram avaliados na linha de base e ao término do PRP através de três instrumentos: inventário de Beck para ansiedade (BAI); inventário de Beck para depressão (BDI), teste da caminhada de seis minutos (Tcam6'). Resultados: Os pacientes estudados demonstraram redução significativa nos níveis de ansiedade e depressão e melhora significativa no Tcam6': BAI 16,4 ± 6,9 vs. 6,8 ± 5,3 (p < 0,001); BDI: 16,9 ± 8,7 vs. 7,5 ± 6,6 (p < 0,001); Tcam6': 335,7 ± 83,4 vs. 441,6 ± 100,8 (p < 0,05). Conclusões: Pacientes com DPOC estudados apresentaram alta prevalência de ansiedade e depressão. O PRP foi capaz de reduzir de forma significativa os níveis de ansiedade e depressão, bem como de aumentar o desempenho do Tcam6'.<br>Study objectives: Multidisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation has been the most suitable treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This clinical trial studied the prevalence of anxiety and depression and the effect of a pulmonary rehabilitation program on anxiety and depression levels of 46 COPD patients (mean ± SD age, 62 ± 11 years; 34 men and 12 women). Design: The participants underwent a 12-week treatment program: 24 sessions of physical exercise, 24 sessions of physiotherapy, 12 psychological sessions and three educational sessions. All patients were evaluated at baseline and at completion of the rehabilitation program through three instruments: Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and 6-minute walking distance (Tcam6'). Results: Patients demonstrated significant statistical improvements, including reduced anxiety and depression, and increased endurance: BAI 16.4 ± 6.9 vs. 6.8 ± 5.3 (p < 0.001); BDI: 16.9 ± 8.7 vs. 7.5 ± 6.6 (p < 0.001); Tcam6": 335.7 ± 83.4 vs. 441.6 ± 100.8 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: COPD patients presented high prevalence of anxiety and depression levels. The pulmonary rehabilitation program was able to improve patient exercise performance, and to reduce anxiety and depression levels
