Energy Efficiency (EE) is a crucial resource for social and financial development, benefiting everyone through EE developers in society. Encouraging energy problem alignment with corporate company goals increases productivity, profitability, quality, and cost reductions. EE is an essential benefit for organizations, not merely a minor concern. Most companies, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), need help adopting EE measures and even encounter opposition. Funding and awareness (particularly of life cycle cost impacts) are the biggest obstacles. One way weaker organizations might overcome such constraints and improve EE is from the Supply Chain (SC) perspective. Since most EE studies and practical strategies concentrate on single-firm energy usage, this article examines peer-reviewed journal articles on EE incorporation in SC development and oversight to identify research needs. Several literature evaluations have focused on sustainability or Supply Chain Management (SCM), but none have addressed EE. First, this article explains how energy usage in SCM improves systemic EE. Then, a study technique is developed, and the selected publications are examined and classed by their methodologies.

University social responsibility refers to the policies of continuous improvement of institutions aimed at greater community development from a holistic and sustainable perspective. The objective was to describe the current state of scientific production on university social responsibility in the Latin American context during the period 2000-2022. The study was a bibliometric, descriptive and retrospective study of scientific production in Scopus. A total of 117 documents were found where there was a predominance of the original article type of document, representing 83.76% of the total number of documents. It was found that the countries of Colombia and Peru had the highest scientific production with 23.93% and 17.95% respectively. Likewise, it was identified that from the year 2019 there was a growing trend in publications. There was international collaboration between authors who published in the Latin American context. The findings allow identifying that scientific production on university social responsibility is linked to ethical commitments and university student training, sustainable development and university social responsibility from an educational management approach.

This paper explores the global dynamics of second-hand clothing (SHC) in light of the circular economy to identify gaps and suggest pathways to reduce negative impacts on the sector. The analysis identifies current global patterns of SHC international trade and the main hotspots, in order to build a framework for action. The framework incorporates the main stakeholders and a set of actions aimed at reducing the environmental and social issues associated with the international trade of SHC. The analysis suggests that the framework may reduce risks and facilitate the transition to a just circular economy in the SHC sector.

A growing body of literature explores the underlying mechanisms and processes that enable servant leadership to impact organizational performance, engagement, and outcomes positively. This research assesses the mediation role of leader-member exchange between servant leadership and job satisfaction among employees in Kuwait's universities. The study utilized a closed-ended survey that was distributed to 240 workers, with 205 valid responses received from employees working in two private higher education sectors in Kuwait. using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used for data analysis. The outcomes of the study demonstrated strong backing for the beneficial influence of servant leadership on leader-member exchange and job satisfaction. Furthermore, a positive correlation was established between leader-member exchange and job satisfaction among employees employed in Kuwait's private higher education sector. Moreover, the results partially validated the mediating effect of leader-member exchange in the relationship between servant leadership and employee job satisfaction. These results underscore the significance of integrating servant leadership principles into leadership approaches within this sector to improve employee satisfaction and overall organizational achievement.

Surface qualities make aluminium a low-DC plasma interaction candidate. Aluminum for energy system structure building is studied experimentally, with observations obtained. Aluminum is cheap and frequently utilized in aerospace applications. The selection of materials for new applications of thermonuclear fusion energy, such as Tokamak reactor walls and fusion-based spaceship thrust structures, is important to decide in the design phase. In this study, an experimental setup application is created with low DC-type He plasma ions processed on aluminium pellet surfaces. The physical changes of the aluminium pellet material as an example of an energy structure surface are analysed under a scanned array microscope and 3D surface plots to detect optical roughness attributes.

This research article contributes to the challenge of global warming by presenting the approach of the use of green hydrogen to reduce greenhouse gases. It shows that CO2 emissions can be significantly reduced in thermal power plants by replacing natural gas with green hydrogen as a fuel. This work presents the techno-economic study of the energy transition of a 12 MW thermal power plant based on green hydrogen. The presented study is based on the energy consumption of Nigeria, 73% of which is covered by natural gas thermal power plants. The obtained results show that the cost of this transition is ca. 17 million dollars (USD) for a reduction of 114 tCO2 per plant with a return on investment between 4-5 years. In addition, through modeling and numerical simulation, this article shows that estimated return on investment can be shortened by using the thermal power resulting from the turbine, through industrial use.

The aim of the paper is to identify the direction of evolution, the conditions of organisation and the impact of the new concept of digital innovation ecosystem in boostering circularity development. The traditional model of innovation brokerage and the new circularity broker paradigm in the development of the circular economy is presented. The authors discuss the circularity broker as an IT interface, equipped with wide range of IT tools, and above all, self-learning applications with AI elements. The circularity broker is accompanied by its watch dog, i.e., a set of IT tools used to search, process and transfer information dedicated to specific stakeholders, exactly when they need this information. The concept of circular brokerage is anchored in the area of the regional clusters dedicated to circular economy development.

The degree of roast, temperature and duration of the roasting phases of the coffee bean directly affect the sensory characteristics of the coffee cup. Therefore, to achieve the best roasting result, it is important to combine the human factor with special software products. To automate the roasting process, the Artisan roasting recording software was used. Automation of roasting allows better reproduction of the process conditions for different coffee samples. However, roasting is a rather complex and multi-stage process, and its automation does not guarantee the full reproduction and disclosure of the taste and aroma properties of the "perfect cup". Therefore, the qualifications, skills and experience of the roaster play a significant role in achieving and further reproducing the desired flavour profile.
