At the global level, several strategies for the system operations are being implemented to enhance the efficiency and the consequence of these operations (in terms of environmental consequences). By following this premise, the proposed paper offers a mathematical model that considers the scheduling of large-scale electric power systems by studying the environmental impact. This differentiates this paper from others (which only consider the economical aspect). The mathematical model also contemplates the uncertainties in wind generation and power demand. It improves the robustness of the model in front of unexpected variations. The reduction in computational effort of the model enables the study of large-size problems when different scenarios are analyzed to cover the uncertainties. The test case is the electric power system of Argentina, which supplies to over 40 million people. Results of different scenarios indicate that the daily operating cost of the country is over USD 6 million, and the emissions are over 50 thousand CO2 tons.","PeriodicalId":389608,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third International Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Climate Change","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129945123","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}

Although a substantial body of research has examined various antecedents of EGB, few studies have examined the role of individual green values as a predictor of EGB.

Therefore, this research aims to investigate the recent development of innovative Industrialized Building Systems (IBS) in Malaysia. Literature review based on recent journal articles, government technical reports, companies' reports, and news articles were used in this study. The result of this investigation revealed that there has been a sharp increase in innovative system manufacturers from around 10 companies in 2010 up to 70 companies in 2020. This is primarily due to the advantages reported on innovative systems compared to bulky precast systems including design flexibility, efficient thermal performance, and green materials. This study provides better guidance for practitioners to better understand the innovative systems potential, leading to higher acceptance and greater use of the systems.","PeriodicalId":389608,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third International Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Climate Change","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114656716","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}

For identifying the framework, data has been collected through adopted questionnaires and structural equation modelling has been applied over the collected data from 100 small and medium enterprises operating in Sialkot, Pakistan. The findings revealed that knowledge exploitation and knowledge exploration have a significant positive impact on the performance of small and medium enterprises. Likewise, interactive performance management has also a significant direct impact, however, the moderating role of interactive performance management is negative and insignificant over the relationship between knowledge exploitation and sustainable performance, yet it affects the direct relationship and makes it insignificant. On the other hand, the moderating role of interactive performance management is positive and insignificant over the relationship between knowledge exploration and sustainable performance. The findings are significant for the policymakers as well as academicians as the findings highlight the importance of knowledge exploitation, knowledge exploration, and interactive performance management which is usually ignored by the owners of small and medium enterprises in developing countries like Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":389608,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third International Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Climate Change","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124733699","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}
