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

open access: yesBusiness 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 ...

Estimating the Cowper–Symonds Parameters for High-Strength Steel Using DIC Combined with Integral Measures of Deviation

open access: yesMetals
Cowper–Symonds parameters were estimated for the complex-phase high-strength steel with a commercial name of SZBS800. The parameter estimation was based on a series of conventional tensile tests and unconventional high-strain rate experiments.

The Fast, the Steady and the Tenacious: Funding Pathways for Circular Start‐Ups

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular start‐ups (CSUs) are critical for unlocking the circular economy, yet they face persistent barriers in accessing finance. Despite growing interest from policymakers and financing institutions, little empirical evidence explains how these ventures pursue and secure funding.

Unconventional neurotransmitters, neurodegeneration and neuroprotection

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009
Neurotransmitters are also involved in functions other than conventional signal transfer between nerve cells, such as development, plasticity, neurodegeneration, and neuroprotection.

Extended subloading surface model based on multiplicative finite strain elastoplasticity framework: constitutive formulation and fully implicit return-mapping scheme

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
This paper presents a finite strain elastoplastic constitutive model incorporating the extended subloading surface concept within the unconventional plasticity framework for cyclic loadings. This is a reformulated and extended version of the small strain

Artificial Intelligence–Driven and Digital Practices for Circular Business and Finance: Insights for Advancing Hubs for Circularity

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emerging concept of Hubs for Circularity (H4Cs) presents an opportunity to create collaborative, self‐sustaining regional industrial ecosystems that drive circular economy transitions at scale. However, the operationalisation of H4Cs faces financial, organisational and data‐driven challenges.

Structural vulnerability in EPCR suggests functional modulation

open access: yesScientific Reports
The endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) is a fundamental component of the vascular system in mammals due to its contribution in maintaining blood in a non-prothrombotic state, which is crucial for overall life development.
