Silicon-based anodes for lithium and sodium-ion batteries: nanoparticle design, composite engineering, failure mechanisms, and practical challenges

The development of high-performance anode materials is crucial for improving the energy density and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Silicon (Si) is a promising anode candidate because of its high theoretical capacity (~3579 mAh/g), far...

Patent review on revolutionary electrochemical CaCO 3 conversion for cement manufacturing

Abstract Sustainable development has become a necessity in conventional cement production to reduce environmental impact. Global demand needs to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The transition to green cement manufacturing plays a key role in achieving net-zero carbon dioxi...

Climate resilience through economic development, energy transition and sustainable development: insights from wavelet coherence approach

Purpose Adjusted net savings (ANS) is a pivotal indicator of sustainable development, combining environmental costs, resource depletion and economic performance. While ANS fosters short-term environmental accountability, its focus on immediate economic gains may undermine long-te...

Socioeconomic status and rural–urban inequalities in AI access and academic performance for engineering students from the TVET

This study investigates socioeconomic and rural–urban disparities in access to artificial intelligence (AI) among engineering students enrolled following the TVET path in Bangladesh. We further analyse how socioeconomic status (SES) and geographic location affect access to AI too...

When Does Mindfulness Translate Into Consumer Well‐Being? The Role of Mindful Consumption and Meditation Regularity

ABSTRACT Mindfulness correlates with higher life satisfaction, yet consumer wellbeing research rarely specifies the behavioral route through which this relationship emerges. Drawing on self‐regulation theory, the research proposes mindful consumption as that route and, drawing on...

From fragmentation to integration: Rethinking the measurement of responsible management education

Responsible Management Education (RME) has become a central agenda within business schools, as institutions seek to prepare graduates capable of addressing complex sustainability and societal challenges. Despite its growing prominence, approaches to evaluating RME remain fragment...

Social media exposure and sustainable fashion consumption: testing the mediating and moderating effects

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the role of social media exposure to climate change issues in shaping purchase intentions for sustainable fashion products. In addition, cognitive and emotional climate change engagement are proposed and tested as mediating variables. Green...

Cyber harassment engagement and its impact on academic performance impairment: a theory of planned behavior approach

Abstract Cybercrime is one of the most pressing global challenges in the digital era, encompassing offenses conducted through computer networks and online platforms. Among these, cyber harassment refers to the use of electronic communication, such as email, social media, and mess...

RCMS: a robust cybersecurity metamodel for cloud computing in Saudi Arabia

Abstract Cloud computing underpins Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, making cybersecurity an escalating national concern. Existing security frameworks incorporate relevant measures but lack cloud-specific constructs in identified areas and are not localized to Saudi regulatory requirem...

Technological dynamism and labor investment efficiency: exploring strategic resilience

This study contributes to the literature by exploring the impact of technological dynamism (TD) on labor investment efficiency, analyzing non-financial U.S. firms listed on the S&P 500 index from 1993 to 2023. Employing a novel TD measure based on industry-level R&D intensity, we...

Oncolytic virotherapy in cancer: cellular mechanisms, engineering strategies, and clinical translation

Abstract Oncolytic viruses (OVs) combine tumour-selective infection and replication with direct tumour-cell destruction and the capacity to induce antitumour immune responses. This review critically synthesises the cellular mechanisms, engineering strategies, preclinical developm...

From trust to retirement preparedness: the mediating role of financial behavior and financial resilience

Population ageing and demographic shifts in the European Union are placing increasing strain on traditional pension systems, shifting greater responsibility to individuals to ensure their own retirement preparedness. In this context, identifying factors that strengthen individual...

Demystifying consumers' climate change engagement: a knowledge–attitude–practice perspective

Purpose Despite growing interest in climate change engagement, its nature and dynamics remain poorly understood. Addressing this gap, we conceptualise consumers' climate change engagement (CCCE) and explore its role in enhancing sustainable consumption. Design/methodology/approac...

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists and Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Type 2 Diabetes: A Review of Emerging Clinical Evidence

Abstract Purpose of Review Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) because of their established glycaemic, weight, cardiovascular, and kidney benefits. Recent observational evidence has raised...

Guidelines for Meta‐Analytic Structural Equation Modeling: Steps, Resources, and Illustrations

ABSTRACT The goal of science is to build incremental, structured, and reliable knowledge over time. Yet, many strands of marketing and related disciplines exhibit symptoms of cumulative stagnation, including lack of replicability and weak theoretical integration. Existing remedie...

Blood pressure variability, time in target range, and cognitive impairment among hypertensive adults: a cross-sectional study in a Southeast Asian multiethnic population

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cognitive decline, but the relationships of blood pressure variability (BPV), time in target range (TTR), and hypertension phenotypes with cognitive impairment remain unclear, particularly in multiethnic Southeast Asian populations. This st...
