Framing Modern Slavery: Do Stakeholders Talk Past Each Other?

Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l'Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern slavery literature has thus far mostly adopted a downstream perspective, in the sense that researchers investigated corporate actors' responses after the enactment of transparency legislation. The common finding is that corporate disclosure is poor and ineffective, contributing to a failure to eradicate modern slavery.

Optimal model‐based design of experiments for parameter precision: Supercritical extraction case

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the process of chamomile oil extraction from flowers. A parameter‐distributed model consisting of a set of partial differential equations is used to describe the governing mass transfer phenomena in a cylindrical packed bed with solid chamomile particles under supercritical conditions using carbon dioxide as a solvent ...

Green Synthesis of SnO2/Carbon Composite Anode for Low‐Temperature Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A green synthesis strategy is used to fabricate SnO2 nanoparticles with banana peel extract and convert the leftover biomass into carbon for composite anode materials. The resulting SnO2/hard carbon (7:3) exhibits high‐reversible capacity and excellent cycling stability at subzero temperatures, offering a scalable, eco‐friendly solution for next ...

Rational Design of CdS QDs/CeO2 Nanocube S‐Scheme Heterojunctions for Highly Efficient C2H4 Scavenging in Fresh Produce Preservation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A novel S‐scheme heterojunction of CdS quantum dots on CeO2 nanocubes was designed to enhance charge separation and oxygen activation for efficient photocatalytic ethylene removal. The optimized composite achieved complete C2H4 degradation within 4 min under low‐intensity visible light, with a rate constant of 1.72 min−1. Mechanistic analysis confirmed
