Exploration of key factors in the preparation of highly hydrophobic silica aerogel from rice husk ash assisted by machine learning
No full textNavigating inclusive educational transitions for all
No full textTransitions—from starting school to moving into employment—can profoundly shape a learner’s experience. In this chapter, we explore the theoretical and practical sides of educational transitions, highlighting how inclusive practices and person-centered planning can empower students at every stage. Through stories and strategies, discover how resilience, equity, and a collaborative mindset help learners—especially those from marginalized backgrounds—navigate these pivotal shifts successfully

No full textThe influence of learning orientation on corporate sustainability : serial mediation of supply chain practices
No full textBased on the theory of organizational learning, supply chain practice view, and stakeholder theory, this paper presents an empirical analysis of the influence of learning orientation on corporate sustainability through supply chain relationships and supply chain agility. A learning orientation strengthens supply chain practices, potentially extending its impact beyond mere business transactions to enhance sustainability through knowledge transfer. Empirical results reveal the relationships among the constructs and serial mediation of supply chain relationship and supply chain agility. The empirical data were collected from organizations in the United Arab Emirates. The structural equation modeling approach is applied to validate the models in the study. Mediation analysis was performed to better understand the organizational and supply chain phenomenon. In addition, this study provides empirical support for serial mediation, with supply chain relationships and supply chain agility mediating the relationship between learning orientation and corporate sustainability. The study draws managers' attention to the importance of learning orientation as well as supply chain relationship and supply chain agility post-COVID-19. The findings may guide firms toward designing their sustainable supply chain strategies under organizational learning. This paper contributes to the sustainable supply chain management literature

Full text linkPreliminary investigation into the use of amino-acid-derived ionic liquids for extracting cellulose from waste biomass to prepare cellulose aerogel adsorbents
No full textTo investigate the feasibility of cellulose extraction from lignocellulosic waste biomass using ionic liquids—a sustainable and efficient approach—for preparing cellulose aerogel adsorbents, we employed a fully green amino acid-derived ionic liquid, cysteine nitrate ([Cys][NO3]), for cellulose separation from diverse biomass sources. The extracted cellulose, with a purity range of 83.8–93.9%, was processed into cellulose aerogels (CAs) via a conventional aerogel preparation protocol. The resulting CA exhibited promising adsorption capacities, including 0.2–11.6 mg/g for Na+, 4.4–19.9 mg/g for Ca2+, 4.15–35.6 mg/g for Mg2+, and 1.85–13.3 mg/g for Cd2+, as well as 9.7–17.7 g/g for engine oil. These results demonstrate the presence of effective mass transfer channels in the CA, proving that the cellulose’s fibrillation capacity was preserved in the pre-treatment. This study illuminates the potential of this green, straightforward method for preparing aerogels from cellulose derived from waste biomass, with promising applications in wastewater treatment and material recovery
