To address this gap, we map traditional innovation roles onto the multiple functions that municipal governments perform in the emerging domain of AI technologies. Drawing from innovation management theory and AI governance literature examining the agency of governments and public sector organizations in AI governance, we identify core continuities and contextual adaptations in these roles. These insights illustrate how the foundational logic of traditional innovation roles is preserved but recalibrated to reflect the specific demands of AI governance at the municipal level. This theoretical contribution extends innovation role typologies into the field of AI governance, laying the groundwork for future empirical research and policy development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"147 ","pages":"Article 103303"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144557055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A critical research gap exists in understanding novel waste utilization techniques and their associated societal implications. This study proposes a comprehensive assessment framework that incorporates criteria of economic, technical, environmental, energy&water, regulations&policy, social, and resiliency. Thirty sustainability indicators were evaluated across nineteen potential slag utilization alternatives. To determine the weights of criteria and indicators, three advanced Fuzzy-Analytical Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) methods including Spherical F-AHP (SF-AHP), interval-valued Pythagorean F-AHP (IVPF-AHP), and randomized weighted F-AHP (RWF-AHP) were compared and the optimal method was identified. Moreover, a novel Fuzzy-Likert Scaling Analysis (FLSA) was proposed to prioritize alternatives. FLSA compared different membership functions (MFs) of triangular, Pythagorean, parabolic, and eighth-order polynomials to find the best MFs. By combining optimized F-AHP, fuzzy-Delphi method (FDM), and FLSA, the framework provides a measurable Slag Management Sustainability Score (SMSS). In a case study examining optimal strategic planning for supplying steel slags, Foolad Mobarakeh Company (FMC) was selected. The most sustainable alternative, “Feed for factories,” achieved an SMSS of 63.633 and 65.049 based on SF-AHP and RWF-AHP, respectively. This framework offers a practical and versatile solution for Mining 4.0, fostering a greener future through sustainable and optimal waste management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48454,"journal":{"name":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change","volume":"219 ","pages":"Article 124271"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144556741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a typology of traveler resistance comprising rejecters, postponers, and opinion leaders, each defined by distinct motivations, levels of engagement, and patterns of skepticism. Our findings show that resistance is not fixed but shaped by cultural norms, social context, and personal identity.

In Beira, the grants positively influenced firm recovery, whereas no significant effects were observed in Chimoio. Within Beira, the grants were particularly beneficial for firms that suffered greater damage, employed more workers, operated in the carpentry subsector, and invested the funds in machinery or tools.

Disability-inclusive disaster risk reduction (DIDRR) focuses on decreasing the vulnerability of PWDs and enhancing their capacities in disaster, yet little is known about how disability is mainstreamed in disaster risk reduction (DRR) policies and practices. Applying Amartya Sen's capability approach, this study investigates if and how PWDs are included in DRR policymaking, implementation, and response activities in Assam, India. Based on policy document analysis and semi-structured interviews, it finds a divide in addressing disability inclusion at different policymaking levels. Furthermore, there is a gap between the existing DRR framework and how (inclusive) DRR is implemented on the ground. Flood management in Assam is not based on institutionalised (DI)DRR measures, but a bottom-up approach based on traditional knowledge. In Assam, PWDs lack resources and conversion factors, absences which are reinforced by missing or inadequate provisions on the part of governmental or non-governmental actors and a fractured DRR policymaking framework.</p>","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"49 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.12693","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144558074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
