However, its use presents ethical challenges, particularly concerning data privacy, as AR systems often collect sensitive user information that could be misused. The environmental footprint of AR technology, including energy use and electronic waste, also complicates its sustainability benefits. Socially, AR has the potential to increase environmental education and community engagement, yet it risks deepening the digital divide by excluding those without access to advanced technology. Additionally, AR can lead to misinformation or biased representations of sustainability, influencing user behavior without transparency. In the workplace, while AR may reduce waste and improve efficiency, it could also disrupt jobs and labor markets. To ensure AR supports sustainability equitably, addressing these ethical and social implications is essential for responsible development and adoption.","PeriodicalId":37551,"journal":{"name":"Publications","volume":"1 1","pages":"260-276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147908730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"AI-Powered Circular Waste Management","authors":"Anil Thakar, Deeksha Dave, Ankita Chaturvedi","doi":"10.1201/9781003640776-2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003640776-2","url":null,"abstract":"The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development for transformation of world incorporated 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the global level. Among these goals SDG 12 is the one that extensively promotes the circular economy (CE) through responsible consumption and production. Responsible production and consumption are crucial in mitigating the adverse effects of waste generation, as they promote sustainable practices that minimize resource depletion, reduce pollution, and ensure a healthier environment for present and future generations. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms like online consent management and monitoring system could be used to analyse data on waste generation, collection, and disposal patterns, as well as the environmental and economic impacts of different waste management strategies. This could help identify opportunities to optimize resource efficiency, minimize waste, and promote circularity, as well as to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of policies and programmes over time. AI could also be used to develop predictive models that can forecast future waste generation and help anticipate and prevent potential waste management challenges. This framework involves the formation of clusters based on geography, waste streams, and industry sectors to optimize resource efficiency, minimize waste generation, and promote circularity. The framework also incorporates circular business models, which involve the redesign of products, services, and value chains to reduce waste and increase resource efficiency. The successful implementation of this framework requires the development of robust policies by incorporating Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) strategies and regulations that support circularity, efficient collection, transport and disposal of solid wastes, the creation of innovative financing mechanisms, and the provision of technical assistance with capacity building to key stakeholders. The current study aims at establishing a detailed understanding of waste management through application of CE via cluster approach incorporated through AI algorithm in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) for achieving SDGs. The transition from a linear to a CE is a critical step towards achieving sustainable waste management, particularly in J&K, where per capita waste generation is 0.23 kg/day and increasing at an alarming rate of 2.5% annually. A cluster approach framework can be used to facilitate this transition to refuse derived fuel (RDF) by bringing together key stakeholders, such as policymakers, waste management experts, industry leaders, and community representatives. Overall, the cluster approach framework has the potential to catalyse the transition to a CE in J&K, which can lead to significant environmental, social, and economic benefits for the region.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 Chinese editors from various scientific journals during September and October of 2022. The results indicate that the editors generally possess knowledge of open access and have implemented an appropriate open access model for their respective journals. However, the Chinese-language journal editors expressed a lack of motivation to adopt open access, unless there is a reform in the mechanism of academic publishing or a policy is imposed. On the other hand, the English-language journal editors acknowledged that they have no other choice but to adopt open access. This study helps us learn about Chinese editors’ understanding and attitudes towards open access, the current status of open access in China’s scientific journals, and the mechanisms of academic publishing in China.","PeriodicalId":37551,"journal":{"name":"Publications","volume":"2 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138944054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the minor level, journals are assigned to one or more subject categories. We refer to this classification scheme as a multiple-category hierarchical scheme. The objective of this study is to investigate the dominant characteristics of subject categories within the Scopus database and quantify their dominance using various subject indices. To conduct the study, we formulated a set of subject category indices, including the Number of Journals (J), Total Instances of Subject Categories (SC), Number of Unique Subject Categories (USC), and Dominance Index (DOMI). The results showed that high DOMI values in subject categories indicate specialization and limited associations with other fields. There were minimal correlations between DOMI and other subject category indices like J, SC, and USC, demonstrating their uniqueness and independence. The study also revealed that subject categories within the Health Sciences exhibited higher DOMI values and greater specialization compared to those in the Physical Sciences, indicating a pronounced dominance in Health Sciences minor categories. Finally, minor subject categories exhibited more variation in subject category indices compared to their upper-level subject categories, highlighting the intricate variations within the hierarchical system of the Scopus classification. These findings have implications for researchers, emphasizing the need to consider a subject category’s dominance and associations when selecting journals for their research.","PeriodicalId":37551,"journal":{"name":"Publications","volume":"48 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138587454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
