Sustainability Certifications as Strategic Tools: Environmental Accountability, Institutional Robustness and Global Convergence

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability certifications are increasingly used as strategic tools to advance accountability for environmental sustainability. This study addresses the challenge of fragmented national certification standards by proposing and applying a replicable method to assess the structural robustness and convergence of industry‐specific ...

A note on an application of discrete Morse theoretic techniques on the complex of disconnected graphs

Examples and Counterexamples
Robin Forman’s highly influential 2002 paper A User’s Guide to Discrete Morse Theory presents an overview of the subject in a very readable manner. As a proof of concept, the author determines the topology (homotopy type) of the abstract simplicial ...

Synergistic Microstructure and Dielectric Engineering of Recyclable Single‐Electrode Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Sustainable Smart Homes

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A recyclable triboelectric nanogenerator integrating a pseudo‐honeycomb microstructure with liquid metal doping achieves 120% higher output (122 mW m−2) and >90% retention over seven cycles, enabling self‐powered smart home functions. The performance of single‐electrode triboelectric nanogenerators (SE‐TENGs) is governed by the effective contact area ...

Crafter preferences for alligator leather in an online hypothetical and real discrete choice experiment

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract A decrease in the price of alligator hides has led to identifying new markets for wild alligator leather. This study investigates crafters' preferences for using alligator leather as a crafting material. In an online survey, we implement hypothetical and real Discrete Choice Experiments to assess crafters' willingness to pay for alligator ...

Hochschild Cohomology of the Algebra of Conformal Endomorphisms

Известия Иркутского государственного университета: Серия "Математика"
It was proved by I. Dolguntseva (St. Peterburg Math. J., 2010) that second Hochschild cohomology groups for the associative conformal algebra 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑘 with coefficients in an arbitrary conformal bimodule are trivial.

Good Real Perturbations of Simple Corank One Map Germs From R3$\mathbb {R}^3$ to R3$\mathbb {R}^3$

Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The existence of good real perturbations of map germs is one of the most interesting open questions in singularity theory. In this paper, we investigate this question for all simple corank one map germs from R3$\mathbb {R}^3$ to R3$\mathbb {R}^3$, we give a complete description of those that admit a good real perturbation.

How Firms Construct Climate Identities in New Zealand: Resolving the Tensions Between Economic Imperatives and Climate Goals

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on legitimacy theory, the aim of this study is to answer the research question: ‘How does corporate climate identity construction enable firms to make legitimacy claims while managing tensions between the economic imperatives and climate goals?’ The research design relies on a discourse analysis of 252 corporate reports published ...

Strong discrete Morse theory [PDF]

The purpose of this work is to develop a version of Forman’s discrete Morse theory for simplicial complexes, based on internal strong collapses. Classical discrete Morse theory can be viewed as a generalization of Whitehead’s collapses, where each Morse ...

Deploying Soft Operations Research Techniques in Hybrid Modelling: The Role of Qualitative System Dynamics in Sustainability Analysis

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organisations increasingly need modelling approaches that can support sustainable development decisions across economic, environmental and social dimensions. The triple bottom line (TBL) perspective provides a useful basis for such analysis, but it also introduces modelling challenges because the relevant dimensions are often interdependent ...
