Regional Sustainability Assessment Under Risk and Uncertainty: A Water–Energy–Food Based Framework
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Regional sustainability assessment requires integrated structures that can examine the interactions between Water–Energy–Food (WEF) systems, socio‐economic risk conditions, and performance outcomes under uncertainty. This study proposes a multidimensional framework that combines a suitability index, composite sustainability indicators ...

From Particle to Purpose: A Systems‐Theoretical Model of Unity and Coherent Adaptation
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper develops a conceptual integration that bridges classical systems theories with insights from the Islamic intellectual tradition, focusing on the notion of zerre (particle) as articulated by Said Nursî. We reinterpret zerre as a systems‐theoretical agent that exhibits lawful responsiveness without autonomy, offering a new lens on how
