Sustainability Challenges to the Steel Industry in a Developing Country: Sanctions and Security Issues at the Forefront

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article contributes to sustainability research by investigating the complex, geopolitically induced challenges faced by industrial supply chains under international sanctions. Using Iran's steel industry as a case, it examines sustainability barriers through the lens of stakeholder theory. A mixed methods approach was employed.

From Double Materiality to Performance: Conceptualizing Reporting Under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As social and environmental challenges intensify, the EU has introduced the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), mandating sustainability reporting through the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The standards mandate a double materiality assessment but leave uncertainty about the structure and contents of the ...

Multiquark Systems in a Constituent Quark Model with Chiral Dynamics [PDF]

, 1996
We discuss the stability of multiquark systems within the recent model of Glozman et al. where the chromomagnetic hyperfine interaction is replaced by pseudoscalar-meson exchange. We find that such an interaction binds a heavy tetraquark system $QQ\bar q\

Measuring Corporate Alignment With the Circular Economy: a Text‐Based Circularity Index From Mandatory Non‐Financial Disclosures

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a circular economy (CE) has become a strategic priority for firms, yet empirical assessments of corporate circularity remain fragmented and heavily dependent on structured indicators or self‐reported metrics. This paper proposes a novel, text‐based circularity index derived from mandatory non‐financial statements of large ...

Intramolecular N···F Pnictogen Bond Mitigates the Explosive Behavior of Azido‐L‐Phenylalanines

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
An intramolecular N···F pnictogen bond is the key for the chemical stabilization of the fluorinated azido‐L‐phenylalanines, mitigating the risk of explosion and thus facilitating the handling and storage of these materials. Organic azides are versatile intermediates but are plagued by intrinsic instability and potential explosiveness. Here, it is shown

Copper(II), a Peculiar Metal Ion for Complexation with Monensin A Ionophore

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Copper(II) forms three chiral and EPR‐active complexes with monensinate A in methanol. Beside the bis [CuL2] and mono [CuL]+ species, the new dinuclear construct [Cu2L]3+ exhibits an [ML]+‐type and a metal salt‐type copper(II) centers weakly bound to each other through counter ion(s) and thus, being magnetically independent.
