A Social Risk‐Based Approach Supporting Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive Framework

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 6636-6648, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Social sustainability is difficult to measure due to its qualitative and context‐specific nature. However, regulatory pressure and stakeholder expectations increasingly require organisations to disclose robust and verifiable information. In this context, the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) sets new sustainability ...

Inverse‐consistent deformable image registration to propagate biomechanical constraints for online adaptive radiotherapy

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background Accurate motion estimation remains a key challenge in adaptive radiotherapy (ART). Voxel‐wise accuracy is required, as registration errors can compromise the treatment quality. Locally constrained image registration is a promising technique to further improve ART treatment, but relies heavily on quick and accurate delineations of ...

Exploratory Analysis of Sustainable Consumption and Production Factors in Services: Insights From Four Case Studies Using Interpretive Structural Modeling

Sustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 6408-6450, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how 14 sustainable consumption and production (SCP) factors interact across four service categories—Mass Service, Professional Service, Service Factory, and Service Shop—using interpretive structural modeling (ISM). ISM enables the identification and hierarchical classification of interdependencies among SCP factors in ...

Projections of Climate‐Driven Changes in Fire Regimes and Implications for Boreal Landscapes in Alaska and Northwest Canada

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Boreal fire regimes in Alaska are expected to change with climate. Recent fire activity increased regional deciduous boreal forest fraction and decreased spruce, potentially foreshadowing landscape transformations that would affect habitat, ecohydrologic function, ecosystem services, and contribute to global climate feedbacks.

Agrarianizing Urbanization: Opening the Wastelands of China's Megacities

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In two of China's largest megacities, Guangzhou and Wuhan, apparently ordinary individuals are deciding—independently, without organization, support or legal rights—to appropriate empty lands and transform them into cultivation landscapes in a practice called kāihuāng (‘wasteland opening’).
