On the Transformative Nature of Luxury Consumption and Consumer Well‐Being: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Consuming luxury products and services has received little systematic attention as a potential pathway to consumer well‐being, despite sporadic evidence suggesting that luxury experiences may catalyse self‐transformational processes and happiness‐related outcomes.

A Comprehensive Multistage Average Controller for Trajectory Tracking in Solar‐Powered Mobile Robots: Analysis of Actuator‐Driver and Power Stage Integration

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work addresses the challenge of bidirectional trajectory tracking in solar‐powered wheeled mobile robots (WMRs), considering the mechanical structure, actuator‐driver, and power stage subsystems. Notably, this is the first study to explicitly model and control the actuator‐driver subsystem within this context. The proposed solution relies

Comparison between flying capacitor and modular multilevel inverter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The paper describes the operational principle of flying capacitor and modular multilevel inverters. The detailed discussions of dc link capacitors voltage balancing methods for both inverters are given in order to enable fair comparison. The causes of dc

Beyond our backyard: Unravelling how social‐ecological fit drives the formation of inter‐regional collaborative networks for water governance in the Yellow River Basin

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The societal and biophysical permeability across human‐demarcated jurisdictions within watersheds necessitates collaboration among administrative regions. The effectiveness of such collaboration is partly determined by the degree to which institutional arrangements align with underlying social and ecological interdependencies, a concept ...

Tourism Labor Market and the Attainment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals: Pending Challenges, Ongoing Opportunities and More Responsible and Inclusive Scientific Research for the Advancement of the Tourism Industry

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning human resources, research in the tourism sector has traditionally focused on a personnel‐managerial perspective rather than a labor market‐condition analysis per se, limiting the examination of its unique working ecosystem and distinct socioeconomic particularities. This has evidenced an apparent thematic research gap in the tourism

The Nexus Between Circular Economy and Sustainable Supply Chain Management: PRISMA Methodology

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intersection of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and circular economy (CE) has attracted increasing academic and practical attention, emphasizing the need for integrated sustainability approaches. This study employs the PRISMA protocol and conceptualizes the CE–SSCM relationship as a dynamic system in which internal capabilities,
