ESG And Market Power: Evidence From a Concentrated Financial Sector
Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors on market power in the Kuwait financial sector for the period 2018–2023. Market power is measured using stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), and the System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) is employed as the main method.

Synergistic Optical Strategies for Enhanced Perovskite Photocatalytic Activity
EcoEnergy, EarlyView.This review addresses bottlenecks of halide perovskites' photoactive components from an optics‐driven perspective and organizes recent advances into four interconnected design principles. This review provides practical design principles and outlines key directions toward efficient, selective, and stable perovskite photocatalysis for CO2 reduction ...

Ecography, EarlyView.The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Impacting Fuelling Dynamics Towards Tunable Liquid Metal Machine
Exploration, EarlyView.Confining liquid metal machines (LMMs) within one‐dimensional semi‐open channels reveals sustained, tuneable reciprocating dynamics, driven by fuel region evolution and boundary interactions. This work elucidates how spatial confinement and obstacle materials regulate symmetry‐breaking and directional control, enabling predictable LMM operation and ...

Bio‐inspired vision: From principle, material architectures to system‐level integration
FlexMat, EarlyView.This review introduces the development and mechanism of electronic and ionic bio‐inspired vision devices respectively. Then, it explores the impact of structure on bio‐inspired visual performance from the scale of intrinsic materials and device. Finally, it concludes that only by combining advanced software and technology can more complex vision ...

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.The gains from machine learning in nowcasting and forecasting food insecurity are still small and limited and cannot be observed in all countries. This review summarizes the public resources for data, corrects common misconceptions about model requirements, and establishes baseline requirements, explanations, causal inference, and equity in operational

Two Two‐Tier Stochastic Frontier Replications
Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We replicate the two foundational studies which proposed the two‐tier stochastic frontier model, first in the cross‐sectional setting and then for the fixed effects panel data model. We explore matters of software then and now, different mathematical formulations of the likelihood, and alternative current software tools.

ENSO or the Atlantic: Which Actually Governs the Hydrological Vulnerability of the Caatinga?
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study challenges the traditional ENSO‐centric paradigm of rainfall variability in the Caatinga by demonstrating that the Tropical Atlantic exerts a statistically dominant influence on regional hydrological vulnerability. Using a seasonal ARX/HAC model and CHIRPS data, we establish a new hierarchy of climatic drivers across six rainfall districts ...
