Defining Remanufacturing: A Key Business Strategy Advancing Industrial Circularity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Remanufacturing is a key strategy in the circular economy, enabling substantial product value retention. However, inconsistent definitions across standards and legislation hinder global trade, core recovery and market acceptance. This study examines how remanufacturing is defined in laws and standards, and how these definitions impact industry

Political Appointment of Executives, Green Action and Firm Performance: Evidence From the World Bank Enterprise Survey

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental sustainability and political influence increasingly shape corporate strategy, yet the link between politically appointed executives and firms' environmental actions remains underexplored. This study investigates whether political appointments to top executive positions influence the adoption of green action initiatives and how ...

Platform Thinking as a Catalyst for Circular Innovation in Low‐ and Medium‐Tech Industries

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing pressures to replace linear with circular models challenge organisations to innovate continuously and to absorb new knowledge. While platform thinking has been examined as an enabler of innovation in high‐tech industries, its relevance in low‐ and medium‐tech industries, like construction, remains underexplored.

The Moral Manager in the Market: How CFOs' Ethical Intelligence Drives ESG Investment in Emerging Economies' Dual Markets

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What propels a CFO in an emerging economy to champion ESG investments when formal regulations are weak? Moving beyond structural explanations, we provide a behavioural account arguing that a manager's internal ethical compass—moral intelligence (MI)—is a key driver.

Guided Toward Equity: Communities of Practice and Organizational Change in Community Colleges

New Directions for Community Colleges, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although community colleges advance equity by providing opportunities for marginalized students to pursue higher education, barriers to earning credentials remain, particularly for students of color. Higher education stakeholders are investing in “equity work” as organizations take responsibility for ensuring equitable outcomes.

Hybrid framework for on‐the‐fly diagnosis of energy inefficiency in multi‐unit processes based on data‐driven and knowledge‐based integration

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Pinpointing the true roots of energy waste in large, multi‐unit industrial systems is notoriously difficult: the data are high‐dimensional, and process units are tightly interlinked. This paper presents a powerful hybrid diagnostic framework that integrates explainable AI (XAI), Granger causality (GC), and fault tree analysis (FTA).

Continental scale metagenomics reveals Microcystis‐induced synchrony among aquatic taxa is exacerbated by trophic cascades

Ecography, EarlyView.
Harmful Microcystis proliferation severely threatens aquatic ecosystems globally, but its impacts on food‐web stability remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1309 metagenomic samples from freshwater ecosystems across China to investigate how Microcystis abundance affects synchrony among taxa in multi‐trophic food webs (from bacteriophages to ...

Machine Learning Unveils Isolated‐Surrounded Pt Motifs in High‐Entropy Alloys for Superior Low‐Temperature Ammonia Oxidation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A physics‐informed machine learning approach successfully decodes the complex catalytic activity of high‐entropy alloys for ammonia oxidation. By revealing a synergistic mechanism involving lattice and electronic couplings, the study identifies a superior “isolated‐surrounded” platinum motif.

Community as Medicine: A Qualitative Exploration of Meaningful Social Support and Health for Trans‐ and Gender‐Diverse People in England

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The poor mental and physical health of trans‐ and gender‐diverse (TGD) young people is well established and commonly attributed to gender minority stress. Although recent research has shown that social support can mitigate these effects, less attention has been paid to the psychological processes through which this occurs.
