High executive salaries often lead executives to prioritize short-term gains over long-term ESG benefits. This review explores how reducing executive compensation, influenced by environmental regulations, impacts innovation in sustainable technologies. As shareholders demand more ESG-focused models, the traditional compensation model is shifting to link compensation with environmental and social goals. The literature focuses on greenhouse gas emissions, employee satisfaction, and regulatory compliance. This review covers global ESG-based incentives, followed by country-specific approaches in China, France, Germany, India, Italy, South Africa, Sweden, and the United States. It concludes with alternative frameworks from financial institutions. Executives are more likely to engage in environmental initiatives when personal gains are tied to these goals. Equity-based incentives are favored over salary-based bonuses. Concepts like the parity pill aim to increase investor trust and transparency. As investors become more environmentally conscious, they expect companies to align with these values. Executives are encouraged to prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term personal gains.

Smartphones are ubiquitous in high schools across the US, but students rarely learn about the complex world of elements and materials beneath their shiny exteriors. Educators can bridge the gap between the abstract concept of smartphone elements and the real-world geography of their origin and impact by integrating ArcGIS geospatial software into their curriculum. A team of researchers has been working with high school teachers to infuse geospatial concepts and technologies into their teaching. One project involved a teacher using GIS to revisit his approach to teaching the periodic table: he would have his students investigate the global origins of smartphone components. This approach equipped students with essential knowledge about the materials that power their daily lives and nurtured critical thinking skills and an awareness of the environmental and ethical dimensions of technology consumption. This paper includes a description of the project and how geospatial technology was utilized, as well as a discussion on the implications and future research in this area.

This paper presents the development of a comprehensive framework from which to engage with the process of college transfer credit. The Dennis-Montagnino Transparency, Empowerment, Attainability, Mentorship, and Sustainability (TEAMS) Model provides guidelines for the development of clear and accessible policy that serves to empower students and institutions alike. Further, the model outlines effective practices for improving the attainability of credit through streamlined and engaging practices, such as mentorship. Sustainability is discussed in the context of relevant innovations in the higher education landscape. Future directions, including the design and implementation of a pilot are discussed.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers capabilities beyond human performance, which has led to the global transformation of various industries, sectors, and other elements of our daily lives. Whether we use an application like Siri to send a text message or facial recognition to access a device, AI is an integral part of everyday technology. Artificial Intelligence has especially been integrated into various healthcare sectors, improving patient health outcomes and overall healthcare delivery. Diagnostic AI systems enhance clinical decision-making, personalizing treatment, and reducing stigma. However, its extensive use raises concerns about dependency, credibility, and its effects on physical and mental health. This research explores the advantages and drawbacks of AI dependency, emphasizing the need to use AI judiciously to safeguard decision-making capabilities. Additionally, trust and confidence in AI is vital for its successful implementation in healthcare. In mental health, AI offers promise for early detection and personalized treatment, addressing accuracy and accessibility limitations. To fully harness AI’s potential, ethical concerns, data privacy, and algorithmic bias must be addressed to harness AI’s potential in mental health care.
人工智能（AI）提供了超越人类的能力，促使全球各行各业和我们日常生活中的其他要素发生变革。无论我们是使用 Siri 这样的应用程序来发送短信，还是使用面部识别来访问设备，人工智能都是日常技术不可或缺的一部分。人工智能尤其已融入各个医疗保健领域，改善了患者的健康状况和整体医疗服务。人工智能诊断系统可加强临床决策、个性化治疗和减少耻辱感。然而，人工智能的广泛应用也引发了人们对其依赖性、可信度及其对身心健康影响的担忧。本研究探讨了人工智能依赖性的优点和缺点，强调了谨慎使用人工智能以保障决策能力的必要性。此外，对人工智能的信任和信心对其在医疗保健领域的成功应用至关重要。在心理健康领域，人工智能有望实现早期检测和个性化治疗，解决准确性和可及性方面的限制。要充分利用人工智能的潜力，必须解决伦理问题、数据隐私和算法偏差等问题，以发挥人工智能在精神卫生保健方面的潜力。

The evolution of corporate practices has made it more challenging for modern workers to remain in their respective roles for long periods, leading to high turnover. Accordingly, the employee turnover problem can be investigated by assessing the factors that encourage employees to shift from the safe and calm state to the fight or flight state. The Polyvagal Theory (PVT) is an innovative framework for understanding the relationship between the autonomic nervous system, emotional regulation, and social engagement. This study’s primary objective is to investigate the emerging trends in modern human resource management practices that encourage workers to resign prematurely. The findings divulge that the PVT can allow organizations to improve employee retention by implementing strategies that appeal to the workers’ psychological and emotional wellbeing.
