Brown–Proschan Repair Policy for Repairable Systems Using the Discrete Weibull Failure Distribution and Markov Chains

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A repairable system operates under a maintenance strategy involving scheduled preventive maintenance (PM) and corrective repair actions following failures. This study develops an exact analytical methodology using Markov chains with discrete states and time to calculate the expected number of failures E[N(t)]$\mathop {\mathbb {E}}[N(t)]$ under

An Exploration of the Relationships Between Science Identity and Disabled Identities in Undergraduate Science Students

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Science identity is often conceptualized through constructs such as performance, competence, recognition, and interest, with prior research highlighting the roles of race, gender, and cultural background in shaping students' experiences. However, limited scholarship has examined how disability interacts with science identity in postsecondary ...

Blockchain and Food Trust: Will Consumers Pay More?

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blockchain is increasingly used in agri‐food supply chains to make products more transparent and trustworthy. Yet, in countries like Italy, where certifications such as PDO, PGI, and organic labels already shape consumer confidence, its added value is still unclear.

Unveiling the Impact of Digitized Supply Chains on Reducing Food Loss and Waste: A Multiple Case Study of Italian Agri‐Food Firms

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food loss and waste (FLW) within agri‐food supply chains significantly impact the consumer economy, depleting natural resources and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, thereby posing a critical challenge to sustainable development. Digital transformation is increasingly recognised as a key lever for reducing FLW in agri‐food supply ...

How Aware Are Consumers of Water Used in Agri‐Food Products? Exploring the Misconception Between the Perceived and the Actual Water Footprint

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the environmental impact of food production is critical to promoting sustainable consumption patterns. This study explores the gap between consumers' perceived water footprint (PWF) and the actual water footprint (AWF) of selected agri‐food products in Italy, including crop‐ and animal‐based products. A survey conducted through a

AI‐Driven Circular Construction Waste Management for Advancing Sustainable Development

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) represents up to 40% of global solid waste, posing a significant barrier to achieving circular economy (CE) objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 and SDG 12. However, construction waste management (CWM) systems remain constrained by fragmented data environments ...

Sustainable Consumption and the “Last‐Mile” Problem: Cultural and Neural Mechanisms of Near‐Expiration Date Bias in Meat Purchases

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food waste poses escalating environmental costs and economic losses, with near‐expiration‐date bias limiting the effectiveness of discount‐based waste‐reduction initiatives. This study examines how expiration‐date cues, interacting with consumer identity, shape responses to discounted meat products through emotional and neural mechanisms in ...

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

open access: yesEconomic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.
