abstract = {We have carried out a detailed analysis of the 3.4 ?m spectral feature arising from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH),

using James Webb Space Telescope archival data. For the first time in an external galaxy (NGC 6240), we have identified two

distinct spectral components of the PAH 3.4 ?m feature: a shorter wavelength component at 3.395 ?m, which we attribute to

short aliphatic chains tightly attached to the aromatic rings of the PAH molecules; and a longer wavelength feature at 3.405 ?m

that arises from longer, more fragile, aliphatic chains that are weakly attached to the parent PAH molecule. These longer chains

are more easily destroyed by far-ultraviolet photons (>5 eV) and PAH thermal emission only occurs where PAH molecules

are shielded from more energetic photons by dense molecular gas. We see a very strong correlation in the morphology of the

PAH 3.395 ?m feature with the PAH 3.3 ?m emission, the latter arising from robust aromatic PAH molecules. We also see an

equally strong correlation between the PAH 3.405 ?m morphology and the warm molecular gas, as traced by H2 vibrational

lines. We show that the flux ratio PAH 3.395/PAH 3.405 < 0.3 corresponds strongly to regions where the PAH molecules are

shielded by dense molecular gas, so that only modestly energetic UV photons penetrate to excite the PAHs. Our work shows that

PAH 3.405 ?m and PAH 3.395 ?m emission features can provide robust diagnostics of the physical conditions of the interstellar

medium in external galaxies, and can be used to quantify the energies of the photon field penetrating molecular clouds.},

abstract = {In this paper, we investigate a steady system used for modelling propagation of reaction fronts in viscous fluids subject to a generalized Arrhenius law. The model consists of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid flow and a set of advection-diffusion equations for the temperature and degree of conversion. The resulting system is strongly coupled and presents many additional nonlinearities as the physical parameters such as the viscosity, diffusion and source terms are assumed to depend on the temperature and/or degree of conversion. Using a fixed-point method we prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution for the considered problem. To solve the associated fixed-point problem we consider an iterative scheme and its convergence is also studied in the present study. Here, the proposed scheme uncouples the computation of velocity, temperature and degree of conversion using the fixed-point iteration and we theoretically establish its convergence towards the unique solution of the considered model. Numerical results obtained for two test examples are presented to verify the theoretical analysis and to assess the performance of the proposed algorithm. The obtained computational results for both examples support the theoretical expectations for a good numerical convergence with the developed estimates.},

We find that in the face of sustained uncertainty, human resource (HR) managers adopt reactive approaches, leading to the widespread abandonment of professional development initiatives. We argue that this shift risks eroding orga- nizational capabilities and placing firms at a long-term competitive disadvantage.

This review critically examines these techniques, focusing on their mechanisms, experimental evidence, and application limits across food matrices. Special attention is given to gas hydrates, introduced as a promising yet underexplored alternative. Thanks to their crystalline structure, phase behavior, and ability to encapsulate guest molecules under mild conditions, gas hydrates offer new possibilities for controlling ice dynamics. Their capacity to form ice-like solids with distinct recrystallization behavior presents a novel path toward improving frozen food stability.

Purpose - This study aims to examine how messaging co-created by agents and targets can support 

knowledge creation and behavioral change in sustainability education. It explores how emotions shaped 

by perceived agent motivations across repeated persuasion episodes mediated this transformation. By 

integrating the persuasion knowledge model (PKM) with the socialization, externalization, combination 

and internalization (SECI) model, this study highlights how agent-target interactions generate 

sustainable knowledge and action.

Design/methodology/approach - This study collected qualitative data through semi-structured 

interviews conducted one month after a one-week educational program involving expert meetings, 

company visits and a hackathon. The data were analyzed through reflexive thematic analysis with a 

deductive, theory-driven lens.

Findings - This study addressed the sustainability knowledge-action gap by demonstrating how 

repeated, emotionally meaningful interactions (i.e. persuasion episodes) with trusted, credible agents 

supported knowledge internalization and long-term behavioral change. The participants evolved from 

skepticism and emotional resistance to empowerment, with co-created emotional experiences and trustbuilding emerging as central mechanisms.

Originality/value - Unlike previous studies, which highlight barriers to sustainable behavior, this study 

offers an integrated, process-oriented framework. Combining PKM's relational perspective with SECI's 

iterative structure and emphasizing emotional engagement provide a new framework for fostering 

sustained behavioral transformation through co-created knowledge.

These results are robust across alternative measures of green bond issuance, and two quasi-natural experiments. We further show that stronger creditor-rights protection (consistent with stakeholder theory) significantly enhances green bond issuance, while greater financial liberalization (consistent with financial liberalization theory) significantly reduces it. Finally, we find that the positive impact of green bond issuance on renewable energy generation and environmental project financing is stronger under French, Scandinavian, and German civil law origins, and weaker under English common law. Taken together, these findings contribute to debates on firms' ethical responsibilities in addressing climate change and carbon dioxide emissions, and highlight the critical role of legal systems in financing the climate transition.},

abstract = {Van der Waals heterostructures and polymorphs have promised the realization of artificial materials with multiple physical phenomena such as giant optical nonlinearities, spin-to-charge interconversion in spintronics and topological carrier protection, through an infinitely diverse set of 2D quantum materials and their stacking order in a single layered device. However, their exploitation for the terahertz range has been limited with most investigations based around the optical domain, owing to the use of exfoliated material that inherently limits both the dimensions of the materials and the scalability for applications. Here, the combination of terahertz electronic and spin currents is demonstrated through the realization of large area complex crystalline heterostructures of topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and ferromagnets. This is demonstrated through down-conversion of optical beams into coherent terahertz currents, where the terahertz phase permits the decoupling of the physical phenomena, and bringing novel functionalities beyond those achievable in simple homostructures. In particular, the role of different TMD polymorphs (stacking orders - 1T?, 2H, and 3R) is shown with the simple change of one atomic monolayer of the material stack entirely changing the terahertz responses - both electrical and magnetic - of the artificial material. This allows to highlight ultrafast phenomena that combine both the electronic- and spin-based processes in these structures. The importance of the crystal symmetry on the magnetic properties through proximity effects is further demonstrated, showing a nonlinearity of magnetic origin as a result of the 1T? polymorph. As well as control of the terahertz currents through different polymorphs, this scalable integration of a set of highly diverse materials establishes a platform for next-generation 2D heterostructures that integrate photonic, electronic, and spintronic properties into device architectures.},

Among the numerous DEA-based FCA studies, a significant category seeks to make all Decision-making Units (DMUs) efficient under a set of common weights after cost allocation, falling under the common-weights FCA framework. However, the classical DEA efficiency evaluation mechanism does not require all DMUs to be evaluated based on a set of common weights. Instead, a DMU is considered efficient if it can choose its favorable weights to achieve an efficiency score of one while ensuring that the efficiencies of other DMUs do not exceed one. Motivated by this, we develop a novel and general efficient FCA framework that allocates the total fixed cost by allowing each DMU to select its preferred weights to be efficient. We prove that the FCA possible set under the traditional common-weights framework is a subset of that under this new framework. Then, an Assurance Region (AR) constraint on fixed costs is introduced to avoid extreme allocation schemes. Moreover, an individual dominance realization strategy and a FCA model based on it are proposed within this framework, aimed at minimizing each DMU's cross-efficiencies from the perspective of all other DMUs while ensuring its self-assessed efficiency remains at one. Additionally, an algorithm is introduced to guarantee the uniqueness of the FCA scheme. A numerical example and a case study from the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation are used to validate the effectiveness of this approach and compare it with other classic methods.},

Technology has changed the way healthcare services are rendered to patients. The present study aims to investigate the factors affecting intentions of Indian patients to switch to healthcare robots.

Design/methodology/approach



Using push-pull-mooring theory, this study evaluates the impact of push, pull and mooring factors on switching patients' intentions to use healthcare robots. To test the relationships, data were collected from 447 patients residing in the Delhi NCR region of India, and responses were empirically examined using Smart-PLS 3.0.

Findings



The present study revealed both the significant and insignificant impacts of factors affecting patients' switching intentions to healthcare robots. Eventually, the study contributes a validated model on switching intentions of patients from traditional healthcare facilities to healthcare robots.

Research limitations/implications



As the present study evaluates the impact of push, pull and mooring factors affecting switching intentions of patients to healthcare robots, therefore, it will specifically help in understanding intentions of patients to switch to healthcare robots. However, this study is cross-sectional in nature and data is collected from Delhi NCR region of India which may limit its generalizability.

abstract = {To reduce negative environmental impacts, achieve sustainable development goals, meet international commitments, and support the green consumerism trend, the automotive sector has significantly increased its efforts towards the field of electric cars (ECs). The conventional transportation system reliant on fossil fuels has adversely affected human lives and the surrounding environment via carbon emissions; in this sense, the adoption of ECs is considered the optimal approach for mitigating transportation emissions. Despite the government initiatives for sustainable mobility, there is a vast disparity between the adoption of electric two and four-wheeler passenger vehicles in several Asian countries. Considering the above, our study intends to assess the psychographic orientation of potential car buyers in India by utilising the hybrid SEM-ANN approach. Our study draws insights from 611 heterogeneous survey responses collected from potential car buyers in India. The novelty lies in developing a conceptual model to explicitly assess different dimensions of EC adoption intentions integrating psychological and technology acceptance theories (TPB, UTAUT, DOI). The empirical research outcomes showed a significant positive influence of performance expectancy, hedonic motivation and attitude on consumers' behavioral intention to adopt EC, followed by trialability, societal influence, image, and effort expectancy, in addition to a negative impact of perceived risk. The study offers actionable insights encompassing theoretical, methodological, managerial and policy implications for promoting sustainable transportation in several markets. A synergistic endeavour of government and business would help engage prospective consumers and create an ecosystem conducive to ECs.},

The purpose of this paper is to examine how corporate tax avoidance influences investment efficiency and investigate whether family ownership impacts this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach



Our study focuses on French non-financial companies listed on the SBF 120 over the period 2005-2022, resulting in a final sample comprising total observations of 1,866 firm years. All financial information is extracted from the Worldscope database. All family data, such as voting rights, family identity and family CEO, are collected manually from the annual reports obtained from the Financial Market Authorities website (AMF). To identify whether a company is family owned, we analysed information on shareholders and control relationships mentioned in the reports, particularly the sections dealing with the ownership structure of the firm. We use a quantitative approach to test our hypothesis.

Findings



This paper examines the impact of corporate tax avoidance on investment efficiency. Based on a sample of French listed firms over the period 2005-2022, our results reveal that tax avoidance decreases investment efficiency. We also find that tax avoidance by family-controlled firms leads to increased underinvestment. We further find that this relationship is non-linear, suggesting that once the level of family control reaches a certain level, the relationship between tax avoidance and investment efficiency turns positive, supporting the socio-emotional wealth theory.

Research limitations/implications



One limitation of this study is that our findings may not be generalized to other developed countries, as they are contingent upon the unique characteristics of the French context.

Practical implications



The paper provides two practical implications. Firstly, it warns managers in French companies that tax avoidance may lead to investment inefficiency. Secondly, it provides valuable insights related to various aspects of family firms, specifically their engagement within the French business landscape.

Originality/value



Our research contributes to the expanding literature on family business research by investigating the impact of family control on the relationship between tax avoidance and investment efficiency. To gain a deeper understanding of the extent to which family control can influence this association, we focus on the non-linear relationship between family firms with excess control rights and the link between tax avoidance and investment.},

abstract = {This introduction to the special issue examines how ecosystems can operate as arenas through which sustainability transition can be organized and enacted. Drawing on the articles included in this special issue, it analyses the mechanisms through which ecosystems generate and diffuse sustainable innovation by combining three complementary perspectives: (1) governance and coordination across plural logics, (2) redefinition of value creation, and (3) cognitive and learning dynamics supporting collective adaptation. Building on these insights, our introductive paper theorizes a multilevel framework that links microlevel cognition, mesolevel governance, and macrolevel institutions as recursive components of collective learning. It positions ecosystems as organizational interfaces that translate local experimentation into systemic transformation and argues that research methods should reflect this complexity through participatory, design-based, and data-enabled inquiry. We conclude by outlining several avenues for future research on sustainable ecosystem innovation as a continuous process of organizing, learning, and alignment across actors at different levels.},

abstract = {The coexistence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the C60 fullerene in different astrophysical environments can give rise to the formation of new complex species denoted as PAH-C60 adducts, which may contribute to the infrared (IR) emission observed. These PAH-C60 adducts have previously been reported experimentally due to the high reactivity between PAHs and C60. From an astrophysical point of view, however, they have not been considered in detail yet. Here, we performed a combined experimental and theoretical study in order to characterize the IR spectra of PAH-C60 adducts, including multiple adducts. Using new advanced experimental techniques, we were able to synthesize some specific PAH-C60 adduct isomers and measure their IR spectra. These experimental data were used to correct their harmonic scaled spectra, as obtained from quantum-chemistry calculations performed at the density functional theory (DFT) level under the B3LYP-GD3/6-31+G(d) approach. This way, we simulated the IR (~3-25 ?m) spectra of multiple PAH-C60 adducts, composed by a different number of PAH units: mostly one or two units. In addition, the chemical kinetics data available in the literature were used to tentatively estimate the possible order of magnitude of the abundances of these PAH-C60 adducts using the available observational data. Essentially, our results revealed a possible strong modification of the IR spectra when astronomically estimated abundances are considered. Several spectral peculiarities are observed, such as a broad ~3.4-3.6 ?m feature, and important modifications in the 6-10 and 12-16 ?m spectral regions together with contributions to the C60 features at 7.0 and 18.9 ?m. Interestingly, these PAH-C60 adducts lack aliphatic CH bonds, but they display IR features around 3.4 ?m, challenging previous interpretations of this astronomical feature.},

abstract = {Analysing and understanding tourism mobility constitutes a tremendous challenge for states, cities and companies involved in cultural heritage. Traditional methods of tourist flow analysis often rely on survey data and observational studies to map out general trends and movements, focusing on aggregated visitor numbers and basic demographic information without delving deeply into the complex interconnections and sequential patterns of tourist behaviours. This study introduces SeqPatTour, a comprehensive methodology that innovatively mines and analyses tourist behaviour through sequential pattern analysis with data from Tripadvisor. Distinguished by its ability to perform both quantitative and qualitative analysis, SeqPatTour navigates the complexities inherent in analysing sequential patterns on graphs, facilitating a deeper understanding of tourist movements. It critically assesses path extraction and sequential pattern mining techniques to tailor the analysis to specific temporal constraints, thereby introducing specialised metrics for the tourism domain. Our methodology, applied on the city of Lille with 287,429 reviews, leading to a graph of 3,317 nodes and 94,829 relationships, has the potential to enhance analytical capabilities in tourism studies, providing actionable insights for urban planning and policy formulation. Its approach to integrating path extraction with temporal-gap constrained sequential pattern mining effectively uncovers latent behavioural patterns among tourists. This not only underscores the method's value in improving tourist experiences but also its contribution to economic development in tourism-focused areas, navigating through the intricacies of sequential pattern analysis on graph structures to offer profound insights into tourist dynamics.},

abstract = {Armed conflict and forced displacement in the Gaza Strip have severely disrupted access to safe water and sanitation, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of waterborne illness symptoms and evaluate water quality, sanitation conditions, and associated risk factors among internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Gaza. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from March 16 to July 2, 2025, involving 1,200 displaced individuals residing in temporary shelters across five governorates. Data were collected on self-reported symptoms, water sources, sanitation access, and hygiene practices. In addition, 240 household water samples (20%) were microbiologically tested for fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with reported illness. Among participants, 31.5% reported symptoms consistent with waterborne illness, with the highest prevalence among children under five years (38.3%). Only 27.5% accessed piped or humanitarian water, whereas 61.2% relied on trucked water from unregulated vendors. Shared sanitation was common, with 45.4% using latrines shared by ?5 families, and 31.7% lacking soap. Microbiological testing showed that 74.2% of water samples exceeded WHO thresholds for fecal coliforms and 62.5% tested positive for E. coli, with significantly higher contamination in water from unregulated vendors (p?
