Beyond a Technocentric Transition: A Diverse Economies Perspective for Social Justice in Circular Economy Business Models

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular economy, dominated by capitalocentric, technocentric, and eco‐modernist discourses, risks perpetuating systemic injustice because of its limited consideration of the social and of what is possible. In this article, we examine how social justice can be embedded into circular business models (CBMs)—key drivers of the circular ...

Responsible Leadership for Sustainable Agritourism: A Multilevel Causal Mechanism Analysis and the Facilitating Roles of Social Capital

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the causal mechanisms by which responsible leadership (RL) promotes sustainable agritourism development in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Using focus groups and multiple case studies across five exemplary agritourism operations, we examine how RL operates across multiple levels to influence sustainable agritourism outcomes.

Use of unobserved components model for forecasting non-stationary time series: a case of annual national coconut production in Sri Lanka

Tropical Agricultural Research, 2015
Forecasting a time series is generally done by using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. The main drawback of this technique is that the time series should be stationary. In reality, this assumption is rarely met.

The Influence of Incongruent Line Extensions on Choice of a Brand's Pre‐Existing Products: The Mediating Role of Curiosity

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many brands have added highly incongruent products to their product lines, such as Lay's Chicken and Waffles Potato Chips, Blueberry Cheerios, and Carrot Cake Oreos. This paper investigates how highly incongruent products influence the choice of pre‐existing items in the product line.

Boosting Sodium Storage Activity and Kinetics of Hard Carbon by Remodeling Oxygen Chemistry

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A surface oxygen remodeling strategy is proposed to finely furnish the pseudographitic structure of hard carbon with rich closed pores and expanded interlayer spacings. Accordingly, the sodiation reactivity and kinetics are greatly reinforced to afford an elevated capacity of 360 mAh g−1 and outstanding rate capability of 225 mAh g−1 at 2 A g−1 ...

Rapid and Reusable Amino Acid–Derived MOFs for the Removal of Estrogenic Hormones From Real Water Matrices

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A family of amino‐acid–derived MOFs enables ultrafast (>90–95% in 30 s) simultaneous removal of four estrogenic contaminants from water under SPE conditions. A leucine‐based MOF shows excellent regenerability and robustness in real samples, with structural evidence revealing efficient hormone encapsulation.
