Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Mining: An Integrated Institutional and Agency Theory Perspective

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining is one of the foundations of economic development but has historically been associated with severe socioenvironmental impacts, such as ecosystem degradation, displacement of traditional communities, and large‐scale disasters. In this context, corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a central role as a mechanism for legitimizing ...

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...

Monodisperse High‐Entropy Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Encapsulated Within 2D Porous Carbon Sheets for Enhanced Catalytic Activity in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study synthesizes monodisperse oxide nanoparticles with abundant ionic vacancies encapsulated in 2D porous carbon sheets via pyrolysis of a high‐entropy precursor, constructing a cross‐scale catalytic interface. It enables Li‐S batteries with a high capacity of 761 mAh g−1 at 3 C and retains 80.44% capacity after 1000 cycles at 1 C.
