How Climate Change Shapes Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Performance in the MENA Countries

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change, political stability, and sustainability are three central factors that interact and serve as key drivers of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Accordingly, this paper aims to fill a vital research gap by examining the impacts of climate change, natural resource ...

Do digital platforms create entrepreneurial opportunities? Evidence from marginal areas

open access: yesStrategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This article enters the debate on the effects of digital platforms on entrepreneurial opportunities by estimating whether the entry of a home‐sharing platform shapes entrepreneurial decisions in marginal areas. We add a novel perspective to the literature, as we contend that when economic conditions are unfavorable, digital ...

Centimeter Precision Geoid Model for Jeddah Region (Saudi Arabia)

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
In 2014, the Jeddah Municipality made a call for an estimate of a centimetric precision geoid model to be used for engineering and surveying applications, because the regional geoid model available at that time did not reach a sufficient precision.

Mixed operator problems using least squares finite element collocation

open access: yes, 1980
A finite element method based on least squares collocation on an element is formulated for problems of mixed type. The least squares method is developed using an incomplete quintic (C1) element and overdetermined element collocation equations.

Pre‐task Vocabulary Support Enhances Lexical Learning but Dampens Positive Emotions: Interactive Task Implementation in English‐as‐a‐Foreign‐Language Classroom

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This classroom study explored the effects of vocabulary support on collocation learning and affective responses in task‐based language teaching (TBLT) among English‐as‐a‐foreign‐language (EFL) learners at a Japanese university. For this purpose, 68 EFL learners completed two interactive information‐gap tasks under either vocabulary‐support or ...

Incidental Acquisition of Multiword Expressions Through Repeated Viewing: Sequential Use of L1 and L2 Captions

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Repeated viewing is reportedly a common learning and pedagogical strategy among autonomous second language (L2) learners and language teachers. This experimental study examined the extent to which sequential captioning use facilitates the acquisition of multiword expressions (MWEs) through repeated viewing under incidental learning conditions.
