From Nature to Supply Chain: Exploring Biomimicry‐Based Pathways to Sustainability and Competitive Advantage

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inspired by insights gleaned from biomimicry theory, this paper addresses the persistent lack of theoretically grounded research in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and examines how nature‐inspired biomimicry principles could enhance various dimensions of its competitiveness. This study's theoretical contribution lies in its proposal

How Firms ‘Speak’ Social: Disclosure Posture as a Stable Strategic Communication Construct in ESG Reporting

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Why do firms subject to identical ESG reporting requirements nevertheless ‘speak’ the Social pillar in different ways? Some foreground numerical indicators; others rely on narrative accounts of policies, systems and stakeholder engagement. This variation in disclosure form, rather than in disclosure coverage, motivates this exploratory study ...

Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

Rising, falling, stalling: complex biodiversity trajectories in English rivers

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Freshwater ecosystems face intense anthropogenic pressures. Yet in parts of Europe, including the UK, studies have documented widespread increases in macroinvertebrate diversity following investments to improve water quality. More recent analyses, however, suggest that these gains have slowed, plateaued, or even reversed. Despite increasing recognition

Smart Functional Hydrogels: Emerging Platforms for Thermal and Electrochemical Energy Harvesting and Conversion Systems

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The hydrogel exhibits versatile functions, including efficient thermogalvanic conversion under a temperature difference, and acting as a cooling layer/forming a thermally conductive nanoactive composite for thermovoltaic conversion. Additionally, its self‐healing and self‐powered flexibility play a key role in energy storage systems. The growing demand

High‐Strength, Fluorescent, Triboelectric Cellulose Hydrogel‐Derived Plastics Through Molecular Network Engineering for Energy Harvesting and Motion Sensing

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Multifunctional cellulose hydrogel‐derived plastics (FCBPs) are fabricated via a novel molecular network engineering strategy involving epoxy cross‐linking, solvent exchange, and hot‐pressing techniques. The resulting materials exhibit high mechanical strength, excellent thermal/solvent resistance, stable fluorescence, complete biodegradability, and ...

Hydrogen Production With Water Electrolysis Technologies: Advances, Performance, and Potential Use for Low‐Gradient Combustion

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This review links recent advances in water electrolysis with hydrogen utilization in low‐gradient combustion systems. While hydrogen eliminates direct CO2 emissions, its environmental and economic benefits depend strongly on production pathways, system‐level efficiency, and NOx mitigation through MILD/FLOX/HiTAC combustion.

Performing history, negotiating patriarchy: Actressing as gendered labor and the fragmentation of womanhood in Chinese historical costume drama

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Gender inequality remains widespread in the film and television production industry, yet it is seldom examined in relation to backstage working environments. This article integrates on‐screen and off‐screen perspectives to investigate the working lives of Chinese actresses.
