Benefit Corporations and B‐Corps: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review Through Bibliometric and Content Analyses

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable practices and shareholder value often come into conflict, yet Benefit Corporations (BCs) and B‐Corps combine these goals into a single core mission. While previous literature reviews exist, this study offers a current, cross‐disciplinary perspective, highlighting the strengths and critical aspects of BCs and B‐Corps through ...

Can Happiness Be Sustainable? Monitoring Global Consumption Footprints From 2015 to 2024

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how happiness relates to resource consumption requires considering not only domestic environmental impacts but also the broader transnational effects embedded in global trade. To address this gap, this study introduces the Consumption Footprint–Happiness Ratio (CHR), a visual analytic metric that captures the intensity of ...

Differential transform method to study free transverse vibration of monoclinic rectangular plates resting on Winkler foundation

Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2013
This paper analyses free transverse vibration of a monoclinic rectangular plate of uniform thickness resting onWinkler foundation using differential transform method (DTM). Two parallel edges of the plate are taken according to Levy approach i.e., simply

Global Health Governance Cannot Keep Relying on the Development‐Goals Model to Effectively Address Health Inequalities Around the World

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are nearing their end in 2030, and it is highly unlikely that many of the SDGs would be met by the target date. This calls for the urgent need for an upgraded approach or a new strategy from the “development‐goals” model.

Rebound Effects of Digital Textile Microfactories in Fashion, a System Dynamics Study of CO2 Emissions

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fashion industry's high resource use and globalised supply chains generate environmental degradation through overproduction, waste and pollution. Digital Textile Microfactories (DTMFs) are promoted as a more sustainable alternative because they enable fast, digitalised and often localised production, but lower costs and a greener image may

Tradeoffs between brain and digestive tissues across elevations in Typhlomys daloushanensis: evidence for sexual dimorphism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

The Welfare and Educational Impacts of Encounter Experiences and Displays on Zoo‐Housed Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens)

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the extent and composition of red panda (Ailurus Fulgens spp.) encounters amongst 150 global zoos and their impact on animal longevity and reproduction. Comparative data analysis suggests that encounter animals produced more offspring and had higher longevity (survival) than non‐encounter animals with differences noted between ...

Drivers of phenological transitions in the seedling life stage

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant functional ecology research has primarily focused on juvenile and adult plants even though regeneration from seed can be the most consequential life‐history bottleneck with cascading influence on later stages of growth and reproduction.
