Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) assessment criteria have received substantial recognition for investment decision and practical steps to achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Given the global reliance on public‐private partnership (PPP) to bridge infrastructure deficit, investment into these projects is on the rise; it

Stimuli‐responsive nanostructured hydrogen sulfide donors for enhanced cancer treatments
Smart Molecules, EarlyView.Three typical kinds of stimuli‐responsive nanostructured hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donors are reviewed. The nanostructures ensure precise delivery of H2S to the lesion site and regulate the release behavior. The H2S‐based gas therapy has been used to synergize with other cancer treatment modalities, achieving enhanced efficacy while reducing side effects.

Why Does Individualism Affect Economic Development: Is It Values, Policies, or Institutions?
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A substantial body of literature highlights the positive roles of individualism and economic freedom in fostering prosperity, and recent work links the two. This paper disentangles their contributions to economic development. In cross‐country data, we show that both are independently associated with per capita income, even after extensive ...

From Map Follower to Navigator: Archetypes of Environmental Impact Assessment
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental impact assessment (EIA) scholarship is commonly framed as a tension between efficiency and comprehensiveness paradigms. These paradigms describe a persistent tension but cannot explain how EIA operates through it. Drawing on social systems theory, this analysis traces that operation.

Normative Constraints Moderating Variability in Complex Sociotechnical Systems
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Systems resilience frameworks have advanced understanding of how complex systems adapt under uncertainty and stress. However, existing models primarily conceptualize adaptation as a performance‐centred adjustment and thus under‐specify how institutionalized normative commitments structurally delimit adaptability. This research note argues that

steel research international, EarlyView.Prebending of 304L/Q345R cladded plates significantly alters the subsequent weld thermal cycle and modifies the local interfacial microstructure. Combined electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and microscopy analysis demonstrates that deformation twinning, martensitic transformation, and defect initiation are concentrated at the trimaterial junction,

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Alongside the 2024–2025 review of the National Electricity Market, Australian energy companies faced the most significant reforms to climate disclosures in corporate history. Specifically, the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standard for Climate‐related Disclosures (AASB S2) was announced in September 2024, after which all entities falling

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract COVID‐19 has intensified interest in crisis policy learning, yet the micro‐level interactions among political, bureaucratic, and expert actors remain underexplored. We conceptualise an ideal‐type framework for the micro‐flow of crisis learning, an ordinarily epistemic and context‐specific process of individual‐level interactions, where lessons

The future of regional airports in Australia: Policy challenges
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract Council‐owned regional airports in Australia face governance challenges that have caused significant financial unsustainability across the sector. Federal policy frameworks fail to address these challenges and risk exacerbating existing pressures by outlining ambitious visions for the adoption of new technologies and achieving net zero.
