The Evolution and Integration of ESG Reporting: A Framework for Sustainable Business Accountability
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how multinational corporations incorporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting frameworks to foster trust, enhance legitimacy, and move beyond mere symbolic disclosure. A qualitative comparison of Microsoft and Unilever from 2020 to 2023 assesses how both firms integrate leading standards, including GRI ...

On the defence of responsible human judgement in peer review
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Peer review is essential for scientific progress. When it works well, it combines expertise, fairness, proportionality, skepticism, generosity, and discretion. When it fails, it becomes a theatre for egotistical display, laziness, coercion, and, lately, reliance on artificial intelligence tools. Editors, reviewers, and authors must join forces

Influence of Environmental Humidity on Concrete Creep
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 It is generally accepted that environment humidity as one of the environmental affects concrete creep considerably. The environmental humidity cycling, drying and high level humidity on concrete structures have significant effects on concrete creep. This

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This paper conducts a numerical simulation study on the construction of a deep‐buried tunnel in an anisotropic stratum area. A statistical analysis of the effects of two anti‐faulting design measures, namely, a conventional design and an articulated design, is carried out, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the anti‐faulting structures ...

, 2017 Time dependent concrete fracture is simulated using a rate type creep model coupled with a discrete concrete model. The numerical study uses experimental data, of various tests, three point bending, relaxation, tensile, performed on concrete. This contribution demonstrates the capability of the model to capture the time dependent fracture behavior of ...

New insights into epileptic spasm generation and treatment from the TTX animal model
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Currently, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop IESS animal models to provide much‐needed mechanistic information for therapy development.
