A Considerable amount of peel, rind, core, and fibrous residues are produced from the processing of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.), which are generally discarded, though they contain valuable lignocellulosic components. Limited information is available on the composition of the combined jackfruit processing waste stream. Thus, the present study evaluates the physicochemical and lignocellulosic properties of jackfruit processing waste obtained from local markets an [...]

Urban thermal environments reflect the relationship between land surface temperature (LST) and anthropogenic activity. The present study analyses seasonal land surface temperature, the Urban Thermal Field Variance Index (UTFVI), and night-time radiance in Jaipur, India from 2014 to 2025 using Landsat 8 Collection 2 and VIIRS Day/Night Band datasets. The Summer (April-June) and winter (November-December) median composites were generated for continuous analysis and for classified assessment. In th [...]

Climate variability and environmental change have increasingly become critical challenges affecting agricultural sustainability and global food security. Rice yield is particularly sensitive to climate-related factors, including rainfall variability, temperature changes, and environmental pressure. In Malaysia, rice cultivation is central to national food security and rural livelihoods, yet it remains exposed to changing climatic and environmental conditions. This study examines the relationship [...]

Wastewater from stamped batik (batik cap) — the block-printing method that dominates micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) production across Southeast Asia — is commonly discharged without a transferable design basis for continuous-flow scale. This study links batch-scale electrocoagulation-filtration (EC-F) kinetics to operational current-density projections for a 1 m³/day wastewater treatment plant, complemented by techno-economic and carbon foo [...]

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-a [...]

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 [...]

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, integ [...]

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 implementin [...]

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 < [...]

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), stoichiomet [...]
