Voices From the Coast: Stakeholder Participation and Perception on Creating a Marine Protected Area

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores participatory processes in the context of marine conservation, with a specific focus on recent initiatives undertaken by the Apulia region in Italy to establish a new Marine Protected Area (MPA). Employing a qualitative cross‐sectional methodology, the study investigates how local communities perceive and engage with the ...

Standard Inelastic Shocks and the Dynamics of Unilateral Constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
This paper is devoted to mechanical systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom let $q^1, \ldots, q^n$ denote (possibly local) coordinates inthe configuration manifold $Q$. In addition to the constraints, bilateral and frictionless, which have permitted such a finite-dimensional parametrization of $Q$ , we assume the system submitted to a finite

SDG Forward Faster in the Face of Geopolitical and Climate Risks: Does CEO Power Strengthen This Relationship?

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In a macroeconomic environment characterised by systemic disruptions and global uncertainty, companies are forced to reconfigure their sustainability strategies. This study examines the combined impact of geopolitical and climate risks on corporate commitment to and actual progress toward the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals ...

Analysis of a contact problem with unilateral constraint and slip-dependent friction

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceWe consider a mathematical model which describes the equilibrium of an elastic body in frictional contact with an obstacle. The contact is modelled with normal compliance and unilateral constraint, associated with a slip-dependent ...

Implant‐related orofacial pain managed with implant apicoectomy: A case report

open access: yesClinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In recent years, the use of implants has emerged as a widely accepted method for the replacement of missing teeth. Although rare, chronic pain associated with implant placement has been reported in the literature. Conversely, apicoectomy, the removal of the apical portion has been integrated into the implantology field in cases with

An elastic-viscoplastic contact problem with internal state variable, normal damped response and unilateral constraint

open access: yes
In this manuscript, we study a contact problem between an elasticviscoplastic body and an obstacle. The contact is quasistatic and it is described with a normal damped response condition with friction and unilateral constraint.

A Modified Technique for Converting Retrograde Femoral Artery Access to Antegrade Access With the Assistance of a Long Sheath

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous femoral access serves as the cornerstone of endovascular therapy of lower extremity arterial disease. In complex cases, the arterial disease of lower extremity are involve in ipsilateral iliac artery pathology, which conventional treatment strategies typically require multiple punctures or staged procedures.

Friction-induced reverse chatter in rigid-body mechanisms with impacts

open access: yes, 2009
The focus of this paper is on the possibility of formulating a consistent and unambiguous forward-simulation model of planar rigid-body mechanical systems with isolated points of intermittent or sustained contact with rigid constraining surfaces in the ...

A Meta‐Analytic Review of Board Characteristics and Carbon Emission Disclosure: The Moderating Effect of Contextual Factors

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between board governance and corporate carbon emission disclosure remains persistently inconsistent across the empirical literature, despite decades of accumulated evidence. Drawing on agency, stakeholder, legitimacy, institutional, and upper echelons perspectives within a single analytical framework, we conduct a three‐level ...

Novel Noninvasive Broad‐Spectrum Infrared Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis by Modulating T‐Cell Relocation

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A novel graphene‐based broad‐spectrum infrared (BSIR) device is developed for the noninvasive treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). BSIR irradiation effectively alleviates colonic inflammation and accelerates mucosal recovery by inducing the systemic relocation of T lymphocytes to the spleen.
