Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Education for Problems of Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cynefin framework for decision‐making categorizes problem environments into simple (known knowns), complicated (known unknowns), complex (unknown unknowns), and chaotic (unknowables). Simple and complicated problem environments enable best and good solutions, but complex and chaotic problem environments require emergent and novel solutions.

Archimedes' balance and Bianchi's Backlund transformation for quadrics

, 2007
We establish a link between Archimedes' method of integration for calculating areas, volumes and centers of mass of segments of parabolas and quadrics of revolution by factorization via the moments of a balance and an integration technique for a particular integrable system, namely Bianchi's Bäcklund transformation for quadrics.

The Role of Energy Transition, Digitalization, and Green Goods in Material Footprints and Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how green and non‐green goods, energy transition, digitalization, economic growth, and population affect the material footprint of G‐7 countries from 1990 to 2023. Using an extended STIRPAT framework, we show that green and non‐green goods increase material footprint, demonstrating the resource intensity associated with

Providing a Gender Perspective on Sustainability Competences and Pedagogical Approaches: Experiences of Students From 17 International Case Studies

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the last three decades, higher education institutions (HEIs) have integrated sustainability into their curricula. Recent research has focused on sustainability competences and pedagogical approaches, and how the latter foster the development of the former. Previous studies have examined the connections between pedagogical approaches and

Schools That Educate Students Who Transform Businesses and Change the World: The Transformative Role of Education for the Circular Economy

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The linear economic model continues to intensify environmental degradation and resource depletion, yet education for the circular economy (ECE) remains underdeveloped, particularly within basic education and in the Global South. This study evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of an ECE Programme grounded in active learning methodologies,
