Operations Research‐Based Formalisation and Design of Sustainable Reverse Logistics for E‐Waste Supply Chains

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates how a profitable, lean, and environmentally responsible e‐waste reverse logistics system can be designed using integrated Operations Research (OR) techniques. Addressing the growing urgency of responsible consumption (UN SDG 12) and the projected rise of the e‐waste sector to USD 137.60 billion by 2029, the research ...

From Waste to Worth: The Case for Modular and Upgradable Electronics in a Sustainable Future

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid obsolescence of electronic products poses a major challenge to sustainable development due to rising e‐waste. Modular and upgradable product (MUP) architectures offer a promising approach to extend product lifetimes and reduce environmental impact. This study investigates how consumer perceptions and behaviours affect the adoption of

Quantification of Palmar and Digital Epidermal Thickness and Sweat Duct Density

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Palmar digital skin, with its high density of epidermal sweat glands and unique stratum corneum, derives its autonomic innervation from peripheral nerves. Understanding the changes to these structures could serve as objective proxy markers following peripheral nerve injury and interventions to promote regeneration.
