Technical Properties of Constructive Boards Made from Tetrabrik Waste

Received: 28 April 2026;  Published: 20 July 2026;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2603021

Abstract

This study aims to determine the physical and mechanical properties of boards developed at the Centro Experimental de la Vivienda Económica (CEVE, Experimental Center for Economic Housing) from unshredded Tetrabrik waste. The boards were produced via thermo-compaction, using the polyethylene from the outer layers of Tetrabrik containers as a binder. Their intended application is as wall panels for social housing. The performance of these new boards was compared with that of conventional market-available boards of s [...]

Integrating Climate Risk into Environmental Management Accounting: Institutional Pressures and Organisational Responses in Zimbabwe

Received: 25 April 2026;  Published: 20 July 2026;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2603020

Abstract

This study explored how organisations in Zimbabwe integrate climate risk into Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) and how this enhances sustainable value creation. The study adopted the Institutional Theory and the sensemaking lens. It employed an inductive, interpretivist, qualitative research design, utilising in-depth interviews with 11 senior professionals in accounting, operations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), sustainability, and regulatory positions. Climate risk awareness was found to be prim [...]

Climatic Risks in South American Coastal Ecosystems: A Mixed-Methods Review

Received: 20 January 2026;  Published: 09 July 2026;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2603019

Abstract

South America’s coastal ecosystems face increasing threats from multiple climatic stressors, including sea-level rise, ocean warming, intensifying heatwaves, shifts in ENSO patterns, ocean acidification, glacier melt, and more frequent extremes such as storms, droughts, and altered river discharges. These processes accelerate biodiversity loss, cause erosion, and deepen socio-ecological vulnerabilities. The literature review used a convergent mixed-methods approach with an embedded design, integrating quantitative [...]

Advancing Urban Climate Adaptation: Lessons from the Malaysia Adaptation Sharing Hub (MASH)

Received: 11 January 2026;  Published: 08 July 2026;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2603018

Abstract

This paper analyses the first cycle of the Malaysia Adaptation Sharing Hub (MASH), an exploratory national knowledge-transfer and climate-adaptation acceleration network developed under the Penang Nature-Based Climate Adaptation Program (PNBCAP), the country’s first urban climate adaptation program. MASH was designed to address the lack of capacity in urban climate adaptation across Malaysian cities, including limited access to localized climate data and challenges in identifying and implementing adaptation measure [...]

Radionuclide Contamination of Fish in a Dammed Water Body of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone: A Case Study of the Yanivskyi Backwater

Received: 08 January 2026;  Published: 07 July 2026;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2603017

Abstract

The results of the assessment of the levels of radionuclide contamination of fish in the dammed, conditionally impermeable Yanivskyi backwater of the Pripyat River in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (ChEZ) for the period 2008-2025 are presented. It was found that the activity concentration of radionuclides in representatives of the ichthyofauna of the backwater as of 2025 decreased compared to the beginning of our research of this water body in 2008, on average, by 1.6 times for the content of 90Sr, and by 1.4 times f [...]

Physicochemical Drivers of Methane Recovery and Techno-Economic Feasibility in Anaerobic Digestion of Organic-Rich Municipal Waste

Received: 14 January 2026;  Published: 01 July 2026;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2603016

Abstract

Anaerobic digestion (AD) has emerged as a promising pathway for recovering energy from organic-rich municipal solid waste (MSW), particularly in waste systems characterized by high biodegradable content and moisture levels. However, the relationships between waste physicochemical properties, methane recovery potential, and techno-economic feasibility remain insufficiently integrated in current research. This study developed a comparative framework combining empirical prediction (S1), stoichiometric estimation (S2), [...]

Sport Psychology 2.0

Received: 20 December 2025;  Published: 24 June 2026;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2602015

Abstract

The field of sports psychology has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, largely influenced by global changes caused by the pandemic. One notable development is the evolution of e-sports psychology from an emergency solution to a permanent and integral component of a specialist’s repertoire. The objective of this paper is to provide a concise overview of the contemporary provision of psychological services through online consultations in competitive sport. The advent of global digitalisation has e [...]

Regime Type and Environmental Adaptation: A Theoretical Examination of Political Constraints on Ecological Governance

Received: 28 February 2026;  Published: 22 June 2026;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2602014

Abstract

This Perspective revises the Regime-Constraint-Adaptation (RCA) framework to clarify that environmental adaptation is not explained by regime labels alone, nor by a normative comparison between democracy and autocracy. Governance is treated more narrowly as the selection, calibration, implementation, and correction of policy instruments in relation to legally defined ecological objectives and observed ecological outcomes. The revised argument integrates RCA with the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framewo [...]

Innovative Façade Materials and Their Tectonic Implications: A Meta-Analysis and Taxonomical Framework

Received: 15 December 2025;  Published: 18 June 2026;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2602013

Abstract

The incorporation of innovative contemporary façade materials has fundamentally transformed architectural practice, driven by increasing demands for sustainability, building performance, and aesthetic expression. Despite substantial technical advancements in materials science, a critical gap persists in linking material innovation to tectonic expression — the relationship between material properties, construction logic, and architectural form. This study presents a systematic meta-analysis and a taxonomic framework [...]

Stock Market Development and CO2 Emissions in Africa: The Moderating Role of Domestic Credit to the Private Sector

Received: 06 January 2026;  Published: 04 June 2026;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2602012

Abstract

This study examines the effects of stock market development (SMC) and renewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions in nine African economies over the period 2000-2024. It also tests whether domestic credit to the private sector (DC) moderates the relationship between stock market development and CO2 emissions. Panel data econometrics, including Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) for the main estimates and Panel-Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE) for robustness checks, are used as the primary analytic techniqu [...]
