Mapping the circular economy in the small and medium-sized enterprises field: An exploratory network analysis

While larger businesses and multinational corporations have been a central focus, a significant gap exists in understanding the transformation journey of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) towards circularity. This research aims to enhance the existing body of knowledge by mapping the knowledge at the intersection of SMEs and the CE. This study utilizes an exploratory approach and leverages network analysis and content analysis to scrutinize 126 academic papers indexed on Scopus. The findings indicate that the field is bifurcated into nascent and early-growth stages. Although CE appears as the prevalent theme in most of the papers surveyed, an emerging group of academics has begun to delve into the domain of SMEs and CE. Further to identifying thematic clusters, this research explores the main references from these two phases by exploring their contents. The study provides a series of recommendations for future research alongside methodological guidelines for theoretical and empirical investigations.

Analysis of Regional Efficiency in the Use of the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (FEMP) in the Eurozone Countries

Currently, a large part of the CFP has been financed with the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (FEMP). This research aims to determine whether there is a high degree of homogeneity in the levels of efficiency achieved by the fishing projects financed by European Funds for the period 2014 to 2020. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology was adopted. The main results showed that there is a high degree of heterogeneity in the level of efficiency achieved by European countries during the analyzed period. Moreover, despite the fact that regional efficiency has been increasing during the years under study, territorial disparities persist over time. This research provides a contribution for policymakers targeting better use of the FEMP funds for the upcoming funding package 2021–2027.

The Creation and Dissemination of Scientific Knowledge: An empirical analysis of Economic Nobel Prizes and Open Innovation scientific performance

However, studies revealing the influence of peer collaboration on the productivity of academics with widely recognized performance remain scarce. The same can be said about the size of collaboration networks and the expected range of co-authors for maximizing scholarly productivity. In this sense, the present investigation aimed to analyze the possible collaboration-scientific production and collaboration-dissemination elasticities of knowledge. To this end data was collected on the scientific production and collaboration of the 500 authors of the most cited articles on Open Innovation, as well as of all 86 Nobel Laureates in Economics available in the Scopus database. The data was treated and analyzed using the simple regression statistical technique, based on the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method with the incorporation of nonlinearities, characterized by the use of a Log-Log Model. The results point out that collaboration among peers exerts significant influence on the production and dissemination of knowledge, even among the most prominent individuals in their fields, such as Nobel Laureates in Economics, confirming what is found in the literature on the subject. However, despite what the literature points out, especially concerning the idea that the larger the collaboration network, the higher the productivity, the results found suggest that collaboration networks have the same characteristics of an economic production function, to the extent that after a certain point, the addition of one more researcher in the network generates the effect of decreasing marginal productivity.

Circular economy of medical waste: novel intelligent medical waste management framework based on extension linear Diophantine fuzzy FDOSM and neural network approach

A number of studies have been conducted to enquire the causes of environmental pollution which suggested numerous policies and techniques as remedial measures. One such major source of environmental pollution, as reported by previous studies, has been the garbage resulting from disposed hospital wastes. The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted into mass generation of medical waste which seems to have further deteriorated the issue of environmental pollution. This necessitates active attention from both the researchers and policymakers for effective management of medical waste to prevent the harm to environment and human health. The issue of medical waste management is more important for countries lacking sophisticated medical infrastructure. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to propose a novel application for identification and classification of 10 hospitals in Iraq which generated more medical waste during the COVID-19 pandemic than others in order to address the issue more effectively. We used the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method to this end. We integrated MCDM with other techniques including the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), linear Diophantine fuzzy set decision by opinion score method (LDFN-FDOSM), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) analysis to generate more robust results. We classified medical waste into five categories, i.e., general waste, sharp waste, pharmaceutical waste, infectious waste, and pathological waste. We consulted 313 experts to help in identifying the best and the worst medical waste management technique within the perspectives of circular economy using the neural network approach. The findings revealed that incineration technique, microwave technique, pyrolysis technique, autoclave chemical technique, vaporized hydrogen peroxide, dry heat, ozone, and ultraviolet light were the most effective methods to dispose of medical waste during the pandemic. Additionally, ozone was identified as the most suitable technique among all to serve the purpose of circular economy of medical waste. We conclude by discussing the practical implications to guide governments and policy makers to benefit from the circular economy of medical waste to turn pollutant hospitals into sustainable ones.

This paper discusses several intents in measuring innovation through metrics and models due to the fact that innovation occurs in a more contextual way and formed by multi-faceted indicators that go beyond a rigid measure modelling. Using the period of the last ten years and Boolean searches for key terms in Web of Science databases, we selected 136 papers that were captured by EndNote Web. Results were analysed through two phases: the quantitative results were sorted in descending order and we noticed a publication increase during the studied period. The journals that gather the bigger number of selected publications were research policy and technovation. The second qualitative analysis categorised selected papers after reading all abstracts and we found that the metrics that appeared the most are number of patents, performance, innovations in product and process, inputs and outputs, innovative activities and capabilities, R&D, and firms' structure and interactions.
