Abstract The fashion and textiles industry, policymakers at all levels, are showing an increased interest in the concept of circular economy as a way to decrease business risks negative environmental impacts. However, focus is placed mainly on material ‘stuff’ textile its biophysical harms. current has several shortcomings, because social-ecological system cannot be understood merely by address...

In several papers Budzynska and Reed have argued that inferences should be ‘anchored’ to relations between utterances rather than to utterances themselves; then, by appeal to what they call ‘dialogue glue’, these relations are somehow reified as ‘implicit’ speech-acts. In this paper I will argue that this is a mistake caused by confusion over different ways an illocution can be relational and t...

BACKGROUND This study investigates possible circularity in mechanisms of change in participants of Master Your Mood (MYM), a cognitive-based, online intervention for young adults with depressive symptoms. A previous study showed that MYM effectively reduced depression and anxiety and strengthened mastery. METHOD We randomized 244 participants with depressive symptoms into MYM or a wait-list c...

INTRODUCTION Temporal-controlled bioactive molecule (BM) releasing systems allow the delivery of appropriate concentration of BM to enhance the interaction of stem cells to dentin matrix and subsequent odontogenic differentiation in regenerative endodontics. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of dentin conditioning with 2 variants of dexamethasone (Dex) releasing chi...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the structural integrity of balloon-expandable stents used in transcatheter aortic valve replacement. BACKGROUND Underexpansion, deformation, or fracture of stent frames may affect transcatheter heart valve (THV) function and durability. METHODS Patients >1 year after transcatheter aortic valve replacement underwent multidetector computed tomography....

This paper provides a computational characterization of coherence that applies to a wide range of philosophical problems and psychological phenomena. Maximizing coherence is a matter of maximizing satisfaction of a set of positive and negative constraints. After comparing five algorithms for maximizing coherence, we show how our characterization of coherence overcomes traditional philosophical ...

Implementation of the circular economy is beginning to become a reality and early stages product design are crucial for proper adoption model. However, several studies claim that sustainability requirements usually decrease creativity. Therefore, it necessary help designers think in more manner and, at same time, not compromising In this research, we study if creativity circularity outcomes cha...

It has been extensively debated how social innovation, circularity, and energy transition may all be considered environmental, social, governance (ESG) components from a sustainability perspective. To comprehend the conceptual development of this subject in academic literature, few studies, however, tackle problems above by reviewing earlier research on subject. By developing Preferred Reportin...
