Data‐Driven Analysis of Green Logistics Strategies for the Logistics and Transportation Companies: A Bipolar Fuzzy Methodology

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global imperatives, such as climate change, environmental concerns, and carbon emissions, make green transformation an inevitability in the logistics sector. Green logistics strategy formulation is an economic choice problem, but it also turns out to be a multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) process that encompasses the triple bottom line (TBL)

Managers' Values and the Adoption of Environmentally Sustainable Practices Among Small and Medium‐Sized Enterprises: A Configurational Approach

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) play a critical role in sustainability transitions, yet the mechanisms through which managers' values shape environmentally sustainable practices (ESP) remain insufficiently understood. Existing research often treats managerial values as independent predictors and pays limited attention to their ...

From Nature to Supply Chain: Exploring Biomimicry‐Based Pathways to Sustainability and Competitive Advantage

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inspired by insights gleaned from biomimicry theory, this paper addresses the persistent lack of theoretically grounded research in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and examines how nature‐inspired biomimicry principles could enhance various dimensions of its competitiveness. This study's theoretical contribution lies in its proposal

How Multiple Streams Influence Agenda‐Setting for Water Reuse in Swiss Substates

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As climate change creates significant challenges for both the environment and society, potential mitigation and adaptation solutions are widely discussed. Yet, neither challenges nor their potential solutions automatically reach the political agenda or lead to a policy decision.

How Much to Sell and When: Optimal Staged Divestiture of Patent‐Linked Royalty Claims Under Risk, Illiquidity, and Finite Horizon

Managerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patent owners can sell a royalty interest in stages rather than all at once. This paper asks how much to sell now when claim values are uncertain, buyers are costly to reach, and patent expiry limits the time available. A decision model produces sale schedules that adjust to current value, the share retained, and time remaining.

On Geometric Phase Model in the Theory of Curves With Myller Configuration

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a linearly polarized light wave in an optical fiber and rotation of the polarization plane through the Frenet‐type frame with Myller configuration. Since the geometric evaluation and interpretations of a polarized light wave are associated with geometric phase, a new type of geometric phase model has been ...

From Biological Fractal Dynamics to Analog Fractional‐Order Circuits: A System Design Framework Based on Operatorization Thought

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fractional calculus, with its unique advantage in describing memory and nonlocal effects, has become a key tool for modeling nonlinear dynamic systems. Its integration with circuit systems has opened up a new paradigm for modern circuit design.

Dynamic Performance Enhancement of a High‐Agility Hypersonic Mechanical System via a Learning‐Augmented Robust Control Architecture

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of control systems for high‐agility mechanical systems operating in extreme environments is a significant challenge in nonlinear dynamics. This paper addresses the complex dynamic control problem of a hypersonic interceptor, modeled as a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) mechanical system characterized by strong aerodynamic cross ...

Nonprofit Governance and Financial Stability: A Study of Government‐Funded Social Services

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonprofit social service providers are essential in delivering vital services, often with public funding. This study adopts a contingency perspective to explore the relationship between organizational governance and financial stability in publicly funded nonprofit organizations. We use a combination of comparative multilevel analysis (CMA) and

Coverage‐based rarefaction fails to quantify relative species richness

Oikos, EarlyView.
Coverage‐based rarefaction (CBR) is a high‐profile tool for assessing biodiversity that provides relative species richness estimates by leveraging the Good‐Turing index u to interpolate. In contrast to alternatives such as the Shannon and Simpson indices, CBR's main appeal is providing values in units of species. CBR is tested against a series of other
