Set points implied by the cusp catastrophe surface.

open access: yes, 2019
The cusp catastrophe has two control parameters that capture when data will illustrate bimodality and divergence. Catastrophe models have five flags in total, all of which can be found in the cusp catastrophe model [44].

The Circular Economy—A New Resilience Paradigm?

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular economy (CE) has traditionally been positioned as a central instrument of the sustainability paradigm. Yet escalating geopolitical volatility and supply chain fragility have elevated resilience to a parallel strategic imperative, and the conceptual integration of CE and resilience remains underexplored.

Effects of Executive Sustainability Compensation on Nonexecutive Employee Behavior

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to growing awareness of climate change and increasing regulatory sustainability requirements, many companies now link executive compensation to specific sustainability criteria. Although prior research has examined the effects of such incentives on executive behavior, this study explores how executive sustainability‐linked ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Climate Vulnerability and Sovereign ESG Performance: The Conditioning Roles of Adaptation Innovation, Institutional Quality and Robot Adoption

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intensification of physical climate risk presents a critical question for global sustainability governance: does exposure to climate hazards strengthen or weaken a country's environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance? This study investigates the relationship between climate vulnerability and country‐level ESG performance across

From Responsibility to Resilience to Social Innovation: A Cyclical Theory of Responsible Networked Resilience in External Crises

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT External crises unsettle resources, routines, and what responsible action means. Prior research links CSR to stakeholder support and resilience. Yet these relationships remain fragmented, leaving mechanisms connecting responsibility, inter‐organizational cooperation, resilience, social innovation, and renewed responsibility expectations under ...

Rethinking Educational Reforms Through a Complex Dynamical Systems Approach: Preliminary Report from an Empirical Research

open access: yesNortheast Journal of Complex Systems, 2019
Literature on educational reforms is rich of cases where changes have been attempted, without however to attain success. Likewise the Greek education system had experienced a lot of reforms, most of which have failed to make the intended changes and they

Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...
