Can Private Equity Deliver on Its Societal Ambitions? What We Know and Don't Know About Environmental, Social, and Governance Factor Integration in Private Equity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Private equity (PE) firms increasingly integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions and raise impact funds to address sustainability challenges. We review and integrate the growing body of literature on why, when, and how PE fund managers incorporate ESG factors into their investment strategies and ...

From Confusion to Clarity: A Multi‐Stage Process Framework for Understanding Consumer Confusion

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualizes consumer confusion as a multi‐stage temporal process rather than a static outcome, addressing theoretical fragmentation in existing antecedent‐consequence models. By integrating cognitive appraisal, contextual amplification, and adaptive coping within a unified framework, we explain how confusion unfolds rather than

The Benjamin–Ono Equation in the Zero‐Dispersion Limit for Rational Initial Data: Generation of Dispersive Shock Waves

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The leading‐order asymptotic behavior of the solution of the Cauchy initial‐value problem for the Benjamin–Ono equation in L2(R)$L^2(\mathbb {R})$ is obtained explicitly for generic rational initial data u0$u_0$. An explicit asymptotic wave profile uZD(t,x;ε)$u^\mathrm{ZD}(t,x;\epsilon)$ is given, in terms of the branches of the multivalued ...

The Effect of Electrolyte pH and Impurities on the Stability of Electrolytic Bicarbonate Conversion

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The performance of bicarbonate electrolysis is largely controlled by the electrolyte inlet pH, the distance between the membrane and electrode, and the impurities present in the electrolyte. By complexing trace metal ions with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), stability can significantly be improved and longer term operation can be achieved ...

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Poor Diet and Oral Cavity Cancer Risk in Smoking and Non‐Smoking Men and Women: An Analysis of Three US Cohorts

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Oral cavity cancer (OCC) incidence is rising among non‐smokers and younger individuals without traditional risk factors. While carcinogenic exposures such as tobacco and alcohol are well studied, the association between unhealthy dietary patterns and OCC has been minimally explored.

When Do Employees Choose to Invest in Their Firms? An Empirical Examination of Factors Affecting Employees' Participation in Employee Stock Purchase Plans

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study examined factors predicting employee participation in employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs). Despite the plausible benefits of ESPPs for participating employees, many employees do not participate in ESPPs even when they are eligible.
