Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Hydrodynamic representation of the Klein-Gordon-Einstein equations in the weak field limit: I. General formalism and perturbations analysis

, 2015
Using a generalization of the Madelung transformation, we derive the hydrodynamic representation of the Klein-Gordon-Einstein equations in the weak field limit. We consider a complex self-interacting scalar field with a $\lambda|\varphi|^4$ potential. We

Goal Displacement and Goal Conflicts in Circular Innovation Initiatives: Types and Mitigation Practices

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many firms set ambitious sustainability goals but these are frequently “displaced” by proxy goals that are easier to track and measure. However, the specific types of goal conflicts that follow from this displacement are poorly understood. We conducted a case study of circular innovation initiatives at a global MedTech company and identified ...

Family Involvement and Financial Performance: How Do They Affect the Sustainability Commitment of Family Businesses?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The socio‐emotional wealth (SEW) perspective suggests that the specific priorities of a family business may make it more or less inclined to engage in sustainable practices. This paper examines how family business heterogeneity regarding family ownership, financial performance, and family board members affects the sustainability commitment of ...

Environmental Disclosure Under Mandatory Regulation in EU Listed Companies: An Institutional Analysis

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines corporate environmental reporting practices among listed companies in the European Union during the period 2018–2022, within the context of the Non‐Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD). To this end, an Environmental Disclosure Index (EDI) is constructed based on qualitative reporting items, and panel‐data models are ...

Stranger Rape or Impromptu Consensual Sex? Investigating Mock Juror Decision‐Making in a Genuine Contested Rape Trial

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to better understand juror decision‐making in a less typical rape trial scenario where even prior acquaintance is disputed. Adopting an improved mock trial paradigm including a video‐recorded recreation of a genuine rape allegation and jury‐group deliberation, 156 jury‐eligible participants took part in 1 of 13 ...

Public Perceptions of Marital Rape: Does Level of Force Used Have an Impact?

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research indicates that marital rape is viewed by the public as less harmful to a victim than stranger/acquaintance rape. The aim of the study is to extend the research conducted by Robinson in 2017, investigating how levels of force influence perceptions of marital rape.

Agent‐Based Computational Modeling of the Stochastic Dynamic Behavior of Actin Filaments Recapitulates the Homeostatic Cortical Array in Plant Epidermal Cells

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The homeostatic cortical actin array in plant cells plays important roles in fundamental processes, including intracellular transport, secretion, cell expansion, and cytoplasmic streaming. In response to diverse chemical and mechanical signals, the cortical array can remodel within minutes to assume new configurations or altered filament ...

Engineering and Characterization of a Fluorescent Fission Yeast Arp2/3 Complex for Single Molecule Mechanistic Investigations

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arp2/3 complex is a seven‐component protein complex that facilitates the assembly of branched actin filament networks by binding to pre‐existing “mother” actin filaments and initiating the nucleation of new branched “daughter” filaments. Arp2/3 complex must be activated by a nucleation promoting factor such as the WASP/Scar protein family. The
