Reflections on lessons learned and future directions : a succinct epilogue
Get PDFUpon completing this exploration journey through the pages of this book, we are left with a profound realization of the immense work that still needs to be undertaken to address the critical role of supply chain management (SCM) in nurturing a socially sustainable Arctic. The diverse studies collected in this anthology provide a rich tapestry of insights into the various manifestations of supply chain practices and their social impacts across different Arctic regions. However, despite their varying geographic coverage, all of these works acknowledge that developing and maintaining supply chains in the Arctic’s extreme environments is a formidable challenge, not only in terms of cost-effectiveness for businesses but even more so in fulfilling commitments to local communities and Indigenous Peoples. As we draw closer to the end of this anthology, it is time to reflect on the valuable lessons we have learned. While by no means exhaustive, three lessons are particularly salient.publishedVersio
Carbon capture, transport and storage projects in Norwegian seabed : sustainable implications and challenges of new green technologies rooted in the past
Get PDFThe accumulation of greenhouse gases, more specifically carbon emissions, in the environment has resulted in severe health issues and climate change. Great efforts are being made to minimize the adverse effects of CO2 by using renewable energy sources and carbon capture technologies, with transport components and management of CO2 supply chains constituting a breakthrough in developing climate-resilient carbon cycles. However, there is a critical need to analyze whether the effect is sustainable. This chapter explores how supply chain management facilitates the implementation and further institutionalization of the world’s sustainable and climate strategies in the North Sea, with subsequent application in the Arctic Ocean. Data from eight semi-structured interviews and archival materials were analyzed in terms of the economic, environmental, and social aspects of sustainable development. The findings revealed that international and European law are not yet prepared to accept CO2 transit by ship. However, the effect of huge political pressure reflects what has been politically feasible, not what is desirable from a sustainability point of view. Substantial investments have been channeled into carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCTS) projects that include infrastructure construction, e.g., piping and terminals, but, at the same time, there is growing concern about the negative environmental and social impacts of CCTS projects on coastal communities and Indigenous Peoples. The chapter also addresses a number of the legal and commercial challenges CCTS projects in Norway have to overcome in response to political ambitions. Further, social “values and attitudes” are highlighted as factors that can be significant for the acceptance and further development of carbon capture, transport, and storage projects. The study provides an understanding of how new supply chain practices emerge by responding to political ambitions and institutional factors.publishedVersio
A heuristic for finding cheating in chess
Get PDFThis article argues by casual empirics that a low draw percent in chess may work as a simplified cheating indicator. Data from a large number of historical chess games (53331) indicate that this extremely simple heuristic may be used as a first test if suspicion of cheating arises for professional chess players. This heuristic does not prove any cheating, but it may be applied as a quick primal indicator of potential cheating behaviour for a player suspected of cheating.publishedVersio
