Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the integration of circular economy (CE) and lean management (LM) as a strategic approach for enhancing corporate efficiency and sustainability. While CE emphasizes resource circularity, LM focuses on waste elimination and value maximization in production processes.

Similar locomotor patterns across Quarter Horse disciplines inform lameness assessment
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Lineage‐based selection is central to the Quarter Horse industry and is often justified by the assumption that morphology determines locomotor function. However, objective evidence linking static conformation to discipline‐specific locomotor behaviour under standardised conditions remains limited.

Characterising Vento Norte Downslope Windstorms and Their Thermal Impacts in Southern Brazil
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Using 20 years of hourly INMET observations in Santa Maria (southern Brazil), we identify 189 Vento Norte (VNOR) downslope windstorms, ~72% in winter, marked by abrupt warming, drying and strong northerly gusts. Across five biometeorological indices (TEFW, TDI, THI, HDI, Humidex), VNOR hours consistently show significantly higher thermal discomfort ...

Beyond forests: Harnessing conservation gardening for open biomes in Brazil
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Urban gardening offers an innovative conservation strategy by integrating native ornamental species into urban landscapes. We evaluated the ornamental potential of the Brazilian flora by comparing the representation of species from forests versus open biomes (focusing on campo rupestre grasslands) and introduced and validated the Index of Ornamental ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The potential impact of bat species extinction on the number of their ectoparasitic fly species, based on interaction data for Brazil. As bat host species are removed over time, more connected species (green) would experience steeper declines and lead to greater ectoparasite losses when compared to a random extinction model (gray).
