ABSTRACT Terrestrial detritivores such as isopods and springtails play a vital role in cycling nutrients through soil ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs, < 5 mm) are increasingly recognized as contaminants of terrestrial soils, yet little is known about whether soil invertebrates themselves are impacted by consuming these plastics or if they can generate ...

Measuring Public Sentiment on Corporate Sustainability Through Big Data and Social Media Analytics
ABSTRACT Currently, corporate sustainability is primarily assessed through companies' own sustainability reports and evaluations conducted by NGOs and rating agencies. These approaches present several limitations, including potential reporting bias and limited transparency in evaluation methodologies. In response, this paper proposes CSR‐IRIS‐v2, a big

The effects of environmental regulations on performance of firms with heterogeneous resilience
Abstract This study explores the impacts of environmental regulations on performance of heterogeneous firms through both theoretical modelling and empirical analysis. It further examines the role of firm resilience in moderating these impacts. We develop a dynamic general equilibrium model predicting that a stricter environmental regulation increases ...

Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres
Abstract Wool fibres are complex matrices of proteins and fatty acids/lipids found both internally and externally. 18‐methyleicosanoic acid (18‐MEA) is covalently bound to the surface of the fibre via a thio‐ester link, and is considered one of the most important lipids as it is responsible for the hydrophobic properties of wool fibres.
