From Global Standards to Local Compliance: Implementation Heterogeneity in Cocoa Certification in Indonesia

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certified companies translate voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) into local practice, yet little is known about how company‐level implementation of VSS relates to farmer compliance. This paper examines Rainforest Alliance (RA) implementation by three certified companies in the Indonesian cocoa sector. Drawing on compliance and regulatory

African Twist of Circular Economy: Insights, Policies and Recommendations

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the circular economy (CE) has gained traction, this paper argues that mainstream CE approaches risk being misaligned in the African context. Drawing on a mixed‐methods synthesis of empirical studies, policy documents and cross‐country examples, the study shows that Africa's CE transition is fragmented and uneven, leaving the continent at

Consumer Adoption of Internet of Things

open access: yesJournal of Consumer Behaviour, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 673-693, March 2025.
ABSTRACT The Internet of Things (IoT), a pivotal technology in enhancing user connectivity, faces a paradox: its widespread potential yet limited consumer adoption. This study addresses this dichotomy by synthesizing a large‐scale meta‐analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) and hierarchical linear meta‐analysis (HiLMA) of 2736 effect sizes from ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Demulsifying agent simplified model for offshore oil wells

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This article addresses key challenges in offshore petroleum production caused by multiphase flow instabilities, such as slug flow and emulsion formation. Traditionally, severe slugging is mitigated by increasing wellhead backpressure through partial choke valve closure. In this context, a simplified dynamic model—the fast offshore wells model (
