Transparency, Sustainable Governance and Digital Accessibility in Municipalities: A Machine Learning Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires transparent and accountable local governments, yet little is known about the structural drivers of municipal transparency. This study introduces a machine learning approach to predict municipal transparency using the Bidimensional Transparency Index (BTI), which measures both the ...

A Technology‐First Framework for SDG Implementation in Carbon‐Based Economies: Empirical Evidence and Policy Implications

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Only 17% of Sustainable Development Goal indicators are globally on track, yet the structural conditions explaining this failure remain inadequately theorised for fossil‐fuel‐dependent economies. This study develops and empirically tests a four‐layer loop framework of Technology, Well‐being, Social Equity, and Sustainability closing through ...

Determinants of Perceived Public Value in PPPs for Urban Transport in Developing Contexts: An Ex‐Ante Structural Analysis of Guadalajara Light Rail Line 4

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are widely used to deliver urban rail in developing contexts, although their contribution to public value remains contested. This paper offers an ex‐ante analysis of the determinants of perceived public value, using Mexico's Guadalajara Light Rail Line 4 as an illustrative case.

Climate Events and Life Satisfaction: The Role of Migration in Rural Bangladesh

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly displacing rural populations, and migration may reduce economic losses from environmental stress. However, climate events and migration can also entail social and psychological costs overlooked by economic measures.

Decomposing venture evaluation: Learning about belief formation

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Evaluating early‐stage ventures is difficult because observable signals of future quality are weak and noisy. How closely are evaluators' assessments related to venture quality, and do their subjective judgments add to the information already available about a venture?

Sleep‐digital phenotypes among undergraduate medical students: A latent class and symptom‐network analysis

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Three sleep‐digital classes form an ordered severity gradient; the high‐burden class (15.8%) has lower examination performance and more daytime sleepiness, outcomes not used to derive the classes. In the symptom network, pre‐sleep arousal and stress items, not digital‐habit items, are the most strongly connected across domains; links are undirected ...

Severity‐Based Reliability Assessment of Energy Communities

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
We develop a severity‐based semi‐Markov framework that replaces binary generation‐demand adequacy with a time‐varying, multistate classification of renewable‐energy shortfalls. The method quantifies shortfall probability, magnitude, persistence, first‐passage time, and unsafe occupation, and derives a cyclo‐stationary severity law to support safety ...

Communicative Drills: The Impact of Communicative Intent on Oral Proficiency

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This exploratory study investigated the role of communicative intent in second language (L2) oral practice by comparing communicative and meaningful drills. English language learners played a game designed to elicit repeated use of the second conditional.

No effect of short‐term exposure to ocean acidification on individual‐level variation in behaviour and susceptibility to predation in a Great Barrier Reef damselfish

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study shows that projected ocean acidification does not alter behaviour or predation risk in coral reef fish, challenging earlier assumptions. By quantifying consistent individual‐level behavioural differences and relating individual traits to survival during a live‐predation trial, it also provides evidence for a boldness–predation trade‐off in a

What Should We Do With Sewage Sludge? Public Preferences for Biosolids Management in Australia

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biosolids are a solid byproduct of municipal wastewater treatment systems. Conventionally, because of their nutrient and carbon content, most biosolids have been applied to agricultural lands in Australia. However, growing concerns over methane emissions, ongoing management and transportation costs and contaminants of emerging concern, such as
