‘Why didn't you bring us a pumpkin?’ Relational recognition of caste, class, and tribe in rural Andhra Pradesh, India See

This article analyses the ways characteristics associated with the ‘Schedule Tribe’ (‘ST’) category in India shape situated acts of relating to others with either deference or assumed superiority. Ethnography shows how within an indigenous Adivasi community the traits that determine identificatio...

Assessing the Materiality of Value-Chain Emissios for Organizational Decarbonization Strategy Development: a Case Study of the Automotive Industry See

Industrial decarbonization strategies increasingly require organizations to measure emissions throughout their entire value chain, not just from direct operational sources. While corporate greenhouse gas accounting frameworks offer structured reporting methods, the significance of upstream supply-chain emissions is&...

Ontology- and Data-Driven Circularity Assessment of Waste-Derived Rigid PVC-u: A Micro–Macro Decision Framework for Sustainable Recycling and Smart Manufacturing See

The circularity of waste-derived rigid unplasticised poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-u) is constrained by heterogeneous waste-stream sources, degraded material quality, legacy additives, and inconsistent decision criteria spanning technical, environmental, and economic aspects. In this work, we developed an ontology...
