MethodsX, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 9, С. 101808 - 101808

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2022

The paper introduces Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics, a new analytical tool for investigating socio, psychological, and behavioral phenomena. strengths of this method derive from the combination mindsponge mechanism's conceptual formulation power analysis's inferential advantages. BMF-based research procedure includes six main steps, in which mindsponge-based conceptualization model construction is key step that makes unique. Therefore, we elaborate on fundamental components functions mechanism summarize them into five memorable principles so other researchers can capitalize directly. An exemplary analysis was performed using dataset 3071 Vietnamese entrepreneurs' decisiveness perceptions likelihood success/continuity to validate method.•

Land-use and food security in energy transition: Role of food supply

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 6

Опубликована: Ноя. 7, 2022

Food security in a just energy transition is growing debate about designing sustainable food secure networks worldwide. Energy transition, land-use change, and are crucial factors for provision. The increased demand products customer preferences regarding safety provide various issues the current agriculture supply chain (AFSC). Along with rising sustainability concerns, strict government regulation, security, traceability concerns compel managers, business houses, practitioners working AFSC to adopt new tools, techniques, methodologies model problems. Thus, turn, design logistics network security. Hence, this study investigates core determinants of Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon over period 2010–2019. In order estimate objectives study, we employ fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) dynamic squares estimators (DOLS) draw findings. However, estimated results show negative association land use supply. Likewise, gross domestic product, agricultural value added (AVA) contribute contrast, urbanization's but insignificant contribution selected economies exists. Besides, another objective investigate moderate role on sector, find significant also tries forecasting next 10 years employs impulse response function (IRF) variance decomposition analysis (VDA). Congruently, uses pairwise panel causality test finds exciting outcomes. COVID-19 crisis has posed challenges such as consumption issues. On behalf results, proposes imperative policies desired level findings valuable insights experts, policymakers, officials take practical measures challenges.

E-waste recycled materials as efficient catalysts for renewable energy technologies and better environmental sustainability

Environment Development and Sustainability, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 26(3), С. 5473 - 5508

Abstract Waste from electrical and electronic equipment exponentially increased due to the innovation ever-increasing demand for products in our life. The quantities of waste (e-waste) produced are expected reach 44.4 million metric tons over next five years. Consequently, global market electronics recycling is $65.8 billion by 2026. However, management developing countries not appropriately handled, as only 17.4% has been collected recycled. inadequate treatment causes significant environmental health issues a systematic depletion natural resources secondary material extracting valuable materials. Electronic contains numerous materials that can be recovered reused create renewable energy technologies overcome shortage raw adverse effects using non-renewable resources. Several approaches were devoted mitigate impact climate change. cooperate social responsibilities supported integrating informal collection agencies into well-structured program. Moreover, emission reductions resulting proper systems significantly change solutions. This reduction will channel carbon mechanisms trading CO 2 reductions. review provides an up-to-date overview discussion different categories waste, methods, use high recycled value-added (HAV) various e-waste components green technologies.

AbstractThis research examines the influence of digital literacy on preschool children’s school readiness and mental health. The analysis dissects psychological resilience’s role as a mediator among digitally literate-conscious kids. underlying theory underpinning literature is social learning theory, which provides paradigm lens for effectively accessing evaluating available information. This study measures these proposed assumptions using structural equation modeling techniques. Data collection was carried out in structured questionnaires, target population parents children. used convenience sampling technique to select sample based children under five. results show that preschoolers directly positively related their readiness, well-being, resilience. Findings suggest resilience significantly mediates between readiness. findings provide valued insight further directions policymakers educators from developing countries. It offers valuable guidance teachers will encourage them allow use gadgets build enhance understanding Preschoolers should also receive implicit explicit training practical fundamental knowledge technologies educational use. In this contributes scientific by answering how impact well-being.Keywords: Human–computer interaction educationdigital literacyschool readinessmental well-beingpsychological resiliencepre-school kids Disclosure statementNo potential conflict interest reported author(s).Correction StatementThis article has been republished with minor changes.
