Biotic modulators of global change effects on plant communities

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding and predicting future plant biodiversity and productivity is critical for prioritizing global change mitigation, conservation, and restoration efforts. One major challenge is that we know remarkably little about how interspecific interactions may modulate the effects of global change factors on diversity and productivity.

Operations Research‐Based Formalisation and Design of Sustainable Reverse Logistics for E‐Waste Supply Chains

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates how a profitable, lean, and environmentally responsible e‐waste reverse logistics system can be designed using integrated Operations Research (OR) techniques. Addressing the growing urgency of responsible consumption (UN SDG 12) and the projected rise of the e‐waste sector to USD 137.60 billion by 2029, the research ...

Locked in Transition: Examining the Role of Paradoxical Tensions in the Transition From Industrial Cluster to Eco‐Clusters

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial clusters are central to the circular economy transition, yet how they develop into eco‐clusters and the paradoxical tensions this transformation fuels remain underexplored. Drawing on 48 in‐depth interviews and secondary data from a Turkish textile‐recycling cluster, we develop an empirically grounded model of eco‐cluster transition

How to Use Ants for Hierarchical Clustering

open access: yes, 2008
. We present in this paper, a new model for document hierarchical clustering, which is inspired from the self-assembly behavior of real ants. We have simulated the way ants build complex structures with different functions by connecting themselves to ...

Who Qualifies to Assure? The Professional and Managerial Capture of Sustainability Assurance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how the qualification of assurors in sustainability and environmental reporting assurance (SERA) is constructed and why it remains fiercely contested. Drawing on actor–network theory (ANT) and qualitative evidence from regulators, NGOs, assurors and reporting companies in India, we conceptualise ‘qualification’ as a ...

KIF1A‐Mediated Axonal Transport of Netrin‐1 in iPSC‐Derived Human Forebrain Neurons

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Netrin‐1 is a secreted laminin‐like protein that functions as a guidance cue for axon pathfinding in development. Netrin‐1 also modulates synapse formation in developing neurons and long‐term potentiation in mature neurons. Netrin‐1 is expressed in human neurons; however, its intracellular distribution and trafficking have not been assessed ...

Heritage as curriculum: Intangible cultural heritage examined through a comparative study of visual art education across Japan, Australia and Finland

open access: yesThe Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract UNESCO mandates have spurred global interest in Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) as a response to global tensions and as a tool for peacebuilding, identity, reconciliation and resilience. The question arises as to how these living traditions might survive the transition into formal education curricula, especially Visual Art Education (VAE ...
