The Front‐End of Circular Innovation in Incumbent Firms

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Circular Economy introduces ambiguity and complexity when developing products and services, by using materials and resources differently; innovations and related business models thus deviate markedly from those evident in the “linear economy”.

IMF Conditionality on Corruption: The Politics of Good Governance

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We offer a systematic analysis of IMF loan conditionality on corruption and argue that the Fund's pursuit of anti‐corruption measures is tempered by two political costs. First, because corruption is politically sensitive, the IMF risks destabilizing recipient governments and provoking crises.

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4037-4060, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Performance and Biases of the LENA and ACLEW Algorithms in Analyzing Language Environments in Down, Fragile X, Angelman Syndromes, and Populations at Elevated Likelihood for Autism

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Wearable recorders are used in research and clinical practice to collect and measure children's vocalizations and the language environment in which they occur. Recordings generate vast amounts of audio, making manual analysis impractical and requiring automated processing.

Large Language Models in Electrical and Computer Engineering Education: Opportunities, Challenges and the Road Ahead

European Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Electrical and Computer Engineering (EE/CE) education encompasses the rigorous study of electronic systems, computing architectures, embedded platforms, signal processing and hardware–software integration. Its inherently multidisciplinary nature demands mastery of mathematical modelling and experimental validation skills that pose substantial ...

Artificial Intelligence in Climate and Sustainable Finance: A Blessing or a Curse?

Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1854-1873, September 2026.
ABSTRACT While there are concerns regarding the sustainability of artificial intelligence (AI), it is a potential ally in the transition toward a greener future. It offers advanced tools for data analysis; risk modeling; and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) assessment.

Influence of Geometric Design on Mechanical Performance of Auxetic Metastructure

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.
Strategic geometric reinforcement transforms auxetic performance. This study evaluates 3D‐printed arrowhead metastructures, revealing that a modified design with local ring reinforcement suppresses premature failure to achieve superior energy absorption and structural efficiency.
