One of the uses that can meet this need is the use of mine wastes in agriculture and soil improvement. There is a lack of information in the literature about which mine wastes can be utilized for this purpose and what kind of sustainability contributions each of these wastes makes. In the literature, it is noteworthy that studies on the use of phosphate, potassium, coal and natural stone mine wastes as fertilizers in agriculture or in soil improvement have been carried out more intensively compared to other mine wastes, and the high capacity of these mine wastes to nourish the soil. Accordingly, in this study, the literature on the use of selected mining wastes in soil remediation and agriculture was reviewed. Firstly, the contributions to sustainability criteria of these mine wastes in agriculture and soil remediation were determined. Studies in the literature were reviewed, and the sustainability criteria to which these mine wastes contribute were also determined. Additionally, as a result of the studies conducted, it was also revealed which mine wastes contribute to each sustainability criterion. In this study, it was determined that the sustainable contributions of the selected mine wastes in agriculture & soil improvement were at a high level. According to the literature, applicable results can be obtained when these mine wastes are mixed with other wastes such as domestic or industrial wastes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20970,"journal":{"name":"Resources Policy","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 105506"},"PeriodicalIF":10.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143350860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article evaluates the efforts by Presidents Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden to spur the development of a domestic mining and processing sector to supply processed critical minerals and materials for electric vehicles. We focus on seven minerals and materials likely to be essential to batteries and magnet production in the near- and medium-term: cobalt, copper, graphite, lithium, manganese, neodymium, and nickel. Sourcing of these critical minerals and materials within the U.S. is seen as important from security, environmental, and economic perspectives. This article reveals a stunning paradox: three presidents, coming from different political parties and having a multitude of policy disagreements, uniformly agreed for fifteen years (2009–2023) that expanding mining and processing of critical minerals and materials in the U.S. is a national priority. Nevertheless, despite numerous presidential speeches, executive orders, agency activities, permitting processes, and subsidy/loan programs, minimal progress was made in stimulating additional U.S. mines for critical minerals and materials. Our analysis also explores why presidential agendas on critical minerals and materials policy did not lead to any meaningful change, highlighting systemic challenges, policy inconsistencies, and broader barriers, as well as suggestions for future research on how to make progress for the development of a robust U.S. supply chain to support the electric vehicle transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"121 ","pages":"Article 103964"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143372203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our exploration is centered on the Canadian context, drawing insights from a dataset comprising 530 entrepreneurs. Our findings underscore the pivotal role of financial actions taken by small businesses in response to crises. These measures emerged as primary drivers, propelling these businesses toward the adoption of innovative strategic directions.

Although there is an extensive literature on traditional determinants of innovation, they only explain a limited part of the innovation process and are insufficient to describe the complex nature of the innovation ecosystem. Moreover, in this ecosystem, seeing innovation as a part of creativity and learning processes requires a broader framework for understanding it. This study argues that a multidimensional approach, including the dimensions of creativity, is needed to understand innovation across regions. Thus, factor analysis is used to explore innovation dimensions. Seventeen variables including industrial specialization, population, human capital, entrepreneurship, income, social and cultural activities, enplanement, international migration, and crime rates are reduced to five factors in the cases of the U.S. and Turkey. As a result, the five factors reflecting the similarities between the U.S. and Turkey offer a new perspective, providing a multidimensional approach to regional innovation. In addition, the results of the study reveal that regions in each country innovate in different ways and each region requires a different mix of innovation dimensions and also policy measures.</p>","PeriodicalId":47545,"journal":{"name":"Growth and Change","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/grow.70028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143362577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The qualitative methods were embedded in the statistical analysis for data collected from 116 participants from household heads, elders, women, and experts. Regardless of the expected adverse of mining, the local community supports the projects' operation in their area. However, the firms have hardly considered social acceptance that the observed trust index for most of the SLO indicators were remarkably low. The issues have dimensions along social groups that elders, women, and landless households were more concerned but are less engaged and showed maximum aversion.
