BACKGROUND Understanding sustainability is one of the significant implementation science challenges. One of the big challenges in researching sustainability is the lack of consistent definitions in the literature. Most implementation studies do not present a definition of sustainability, even when assessing sustainability. The aim of the current study was to systematically develop a comprehensi...

Sustainability is a grand challenge of our time. While there is a universal recognition that sustainability includes social, economic, and environmental components, the relationship and interchangeability between these components has been debated, resulting in three distinct sustainability perspectives: weak, strong, and absurdly strong sustainability. However, despite this active debate, few h...

This review on Sustainability covers selected 2015 publications on the focus of Sustainability. It is divided into the following sections : • Sustainable water and wastewater utilities • Sustainable water resources management • Stormwater and green infrastructure • Sustainability in wastewater treatment • Life cycle assessment (LCA) applications • Sustainability and energy in wastewater industr...

Organizations sustainability is increasingly measured by the general public. But does a suitable way always exist to present both the target sustainability as well as the current sustainability in a stakeholder oriented manner? Today especially the management needs a tool, which is efficient and easy to understand to reach a stakeholder oriented sustainability presentation. In our contribution ...

housing has been a major challenge for the rising population of countries during last decades and the provision of affordable standard house for low and middle-income households has always been at the forefront of sustainable development strategies and plans, especially in developing countries. besides, the need to high-density housing systems due to rising population has become a central issue...

Growing concerns over climate change and the potential for large damages due to non-linear processes underscore the need for meaningful sustainability assessment of an economy. Economists have developed rigorous approaches to conceptualizing sustainability based on the paradigm of weak sustainability, which assumes infinite substitution between manufactured and natural capital stocks. In contra...

The main aim of this study is proposing an assessment model for evaluating the supply chain sustainability across the automotive sector. In this study, through reviewing the sustainability indicators in the economic, social, environmental, and governance pillars, the fuzzy Delphi is applied. Then, survey method is used to implement the model designed in CANFIS to evaluate the sustainability ind...

The fourth industrial revolution in 2011 aimed to transform the traditional manufacturing processes. As part of this revolution, disruptive innovations drug development and data science approaches have potential optimize CMC (chemistry, manufacture, control). real-time simulation processes using “digital twins” can maximize efficiency while improving sustainability. review, we investigate how W...
