The existing literature on sensemaking has largely overlooked the importance of resource scarcity as a fundamental factor in strategy implementation and sustainability challenges. Sustainability strategy is typically ...

There is an urgent need to minimize the dependence on fossil fuels consumption. The use of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar generation, requires its integration to large-scale storage systems to balance the ...

Laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (PBF-LB AM) has matured from rapid prototyping into an industrial manufacturing technology used to produce critical end-use parts for demanding applications in the aerospace, ...

Replacing hydrocarbon-based energy production systems with alternative, low carbon footprint ones is an urgent necessity. Advancing in this direction requires a thorough understanding of local electrochemical conversion ...

This study examines two key constructs: motivation of individual board member and board-level sustainability in corporations. Board of directors often comprise experienced business professionals who join boards in later ...

ABSTRACT The transition to use more renewable energies is essential to mitigate climate change and to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. However, the intermittent nature of solar and wind energies requires more efficient ...

Sustainable materials hold great promise for photovoltaic and other photoresponsive applications; their long-term performance, however, is significantly affected by ultraviolet (UV)-induced degradation and other environmental ...

Photoresponsive textiles are gaining increasing attention for their potential in health monitoring, resource conservation, and comfort-related applications. Unlike electronic smart textiles, they deliver responsive functions ...

Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources, yet increasing solar cell production raises concerns about end-of-life recycling. Currently, solar panel recycling remains challenging due to the ...

This thesis investigates key aspects of photovoltaic (PV) systems to enhance their sustainability and economic viability, particularly in high-latitude environments such as Finland. This work focuses on four main subjects: ...
