Eco‐Initiatives and Commitment to the Equator Principles
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Equator Principles (EP) score is a performance code for financial institutions (FIs) based on their commitment to managing environmental issues in project financing. This study examines the impact of environmental initiatives on the adoption of the EP by 204 US financial firms (including banks, insurance companies, investment banks, asset ...

The Legacies of Lockdown: Moral Logics of Exchange and Mistrust in Postpandemic China
Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT When Shanghai entered an extended lockdown under China's Zero‐COVID policy in spring 2022, residents found themselves confined within their residential compounds, cut off from conventional supply chains, and dependent on improvised systems of local provisioning and state rationing. From the perspective of economic anthropology, such conditions

Alloy Qualification for Producing Quench and Tempered Plate Steels with Extra‐Heavy Gage
steel research international, EarlyView.This study develops alloy concepts for ultraheavy steel plates (>100 mm) with ≥690 MPa yield strength. Through dilatometry and Jominy testing, the effects of Mo, Ni, and B on hardenability are quantified. A synergy between 0.5% Mo and 0.5%–1.0% Ni ensures core strength at low cooling rates, while boron microalloying suppresses ferrite and promotes ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
VIEW, EarlyView.Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We bridge micro‐ and macroparasite theory with a model tracking pathogen load heterogeneity. By incorporating load‐dependent mortality and within‐host pathogen growth, we show how pathogen load aggregation alters disease prevalence, host suppression effects, and virulence evolution, providing insights for managing complex infectious disease like ...

Measuring New Venture Legitimacy: A Multi‐dimensional Approach Using Computational Textual Analysis
British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract Legitimacy is critical for the growth, survival and performance of ventures, yet efforts to measure legitimacy empirically typically focus on a single dimension of this multi‐dimensional construct. In this article, we develop a multi‐dimensional framework for measuring legitimacy using computational text analysis.

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract This article revisits the view that UK business schools emerged as late and imitative responses to American models. Drawing on archival evidence and a longitudinal dataset of 130 institutions, it shows that the field developed incrementally from diverse origins, including mechanics’ institutes, civic universities, colleges of commerce and ...
