Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is perceived as a valuable practice by business organizations to demonstrate their commitment towards social, economic, and environmental causes, and it actively contributes towards the well-being of the community at large. CSR as an ethical practice has gained considerable attention in the last decades as it contributes to sustainable development and maximizing organizations business performance. It reflects the top management’s vision and values and thereby also allows the firm to differentiate itself from its competitors.

We’re passionate about helping students learn more about STEM, and through our academic program we give students the opportunity to collaborate on STEM-related projects involving innovative technologies like data analytics, robotics and AI. Since 2011, we have partnered with a number of universities to sponsor research projects, internships, robotics teams, scholarships, and other educational programs that provide students with access to hands-on learning and real-world engineering experience.

The study introduces a nano-modulator that targets the damaged blood-brain barrier in Alzheimer’s disease. This modulator releases therapeutic agents that reduce amyloid-beta load, alleviate neuroinflammation, and restore neurovascular unit function, showing potential for Alzheimer’s treatment.

The International Day for Biodiversity (IDB) is celebrated every year on 22 May to raise awareness of the importance and value of biodiversity and to increase understanding of biodiversity issues. The theme of IDB 2024, “Be part of the Plan”, is a call to action for all stakeholders to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by supporting the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, or the “The Biodiversity Plan”. To mark International Day for Biodiversity, Elsevier has curated a special collection of journal articles and book chapters exploring .

How society and people respond, and adapt to climate change is a psychological process.  Within this collection are papers that explore these different psychological responses from how this influences people's behaviour from action to anxiety and more.

This article explores innovations in Fenton technology to enhance wastewater treatment, including using co-catalysts and engineering catalyst microenvironments to overcome challenges like iron sludge and pH limitations.
This paper highlights the urgent need to enhance water system resilience in response to climate-induced scarcity, using a dynamic multisectoral model to analyze the macroeconomic impacts of temporary water shortages, revealing how firms' investment foresight influences their responses and the economy, with sector-specific insights indicating both negative impacts, particularly in agriculture and energy, and potential competitive benefits in certain sectors, ultimately recommending that firms prioritize anticipation and resilience-building measures across all sectors.
This study presents a deep learning framework using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to efficiently replicate high-resolution outputs of conventional hydrological models for estimating groundwater head and surface water depth in the Sabgyo Stream Watershed, South Korea, achieving a 45-fold reduction in computation time compared to a physics-based model while demonstrating potential for predictive capabilities under future climate scenarios, although further improvements are needed for long-term accuracy.
