Article Abstract

The ever-growing concern of sustainability and survivability attracts academicians and practitioners to develop strategies and supply chain capabilities that cater to the challenges and helps in achieving the sustainability development goals. There is a need to develop a holistic model that facilitates understanding the relationships among supply chain practices, industry 4.0 technologies, and supply chain performance measures. Thus, this study examines the mediating effect of industry 4.0 technologies on supply chain management practices and supply chain performance measures. A survey-based data was collected from manufacturing organizations across India, and 361 complete responses were obtained. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized for data analysis. This study has multiple contributions. First, the results indicate that the supply chain management practices influence the industry 4.0 technologies adoption. Second, the results also revealed that the industry 4.0 technologies significantly positively affect supply chain performance measures. Finally, industry 4.0 technologies mediated the relations between supply chain management practices and supply chain performance measures. Furthermore, the findings offer important insights into understanding the underlying mechanisms in successfully adopting and effectively using industry 4.0 technologies. The implications for theory and practices are also discussed.

Food production from air: gas precision fermentation with hydrogen-oxidising bacteria.

The breach of six planetary boundaries highlights the need for sustainable food production. Aerobic hydrogen-oxidising bacteria (HOBs) convert atmospheric CO and green hydrogen (H) into biomass via gas fermentation, a process already used for food-grade single-cell protein production. This approach enables a supply chain independent of agriculture, requiring minimal land and water, with potential for carbon-neutral production and carbon capture.

Background: Labor shortages in health care pose significant challenges to sustaining high-quality care for people with intellectual disabilities. Social robots show promise in supporting both people with intellectual disabilities and their health care professionals; yet, few are fully developed and embedded in productive care environments. Implementation of such technologies is inherently complex, requiring careful examination of facilitators and barriers influencing sustained use.

The US healthcare system is characterized by a persistent deadlock, where high costs, low efficiency, and inequity resist fundamental reform. This stalemate is rooted in deep ideological divides, political polarization, a fragmented fiscal structure, and the power of entrenched interest groups. This article analyzes how recent trade protectionist policies, specifically tariffs on pharmaceuticals and their inputs, intersect with this domestic gridlock.

A literature review on the quantitative approaches to food waste: descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analyses.

Food waste generated throughout the food supply chain raises several environmental, social, and economic issues. Quantitative methods can aid in managing food waste by describing current contexts, predicting future scenarios, and improving related operations. However, a literature review on the use of quantitative methods, specifically the descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive dimensions, to assess and prevent food waste is lacking.
