Hybrid threats exploit vulnerabilities in digital infrastructures, posing significant challenges to democratic countries and the resilience of critical infrastructures (CIs). This study explores integrating data governance with business process manag...
In this paper we consider both hydrology and governance as critical dimensions for irrigation water security. We scale down the overall water security concept to the agricultural sector, suggest an index of irrigation water security faced by farmers,...
Cyber threats are growing in scale and complexity, outpacing the capabilities of traditional security systems. Machine learning (ML) models offer enhanced detection accuracy but often rely on centralized data, raising privacy concerns. Federated lear...
The main purpose of the present study was to mathematically integrate different decision support systems to enhance the accuracy of seismic vulnerability mapping in Sanandaj City, Iran. An earthquake is considered to be a catastrophe that poses a ser...
Smart grid operators face escalating cyber threats and tight resource constraints, demanding the transparent, defensible prioritization of security controls. This paper asks how to select cybersecurity controls for smart grids while retaining picture...
Free-ranging dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) pose a significant but often overlooked threat to wildlife populations and global conservation efforts while also having the potential to contribute positively to conservation initiatives. As generalist pred...
As a measure of the sustainability of a country, a state’s fragility is attributed to numerous elements. Meanwhile, climate change is a potential global threat in the 21st century, which may further aggravate the fragility of countries. Concern...
Many immigrants have risked their lives searching for a better future by crossing the Mediterranean Sea or the Atlantic Ocean. The Canary Islands became the centre of another emerging humanitarian and human rights crisis at Europe’s frontier in...
Organizations need to consider the triple bottom line (3BL) model of sustainability to maintain competitiveness in global markets. Of 3BL, environmental and economic sustainability pillars are more often discussed, as they are most directly related t...
This study introduces the SESG (Security, Environmental, Social, Governance) framework as a necessary evolution of traditional ESG, aimed at enhancing societal and corporate resilience in the face of hybrid threats, war, and climate crises. By integr...
This study evaluated vegetation management (VM) strategies under electricity distribution lines (EDLs) through ecosystem service (ES) criteria. Deforestation, worsened by insufficient VM practices, poses a threat to ecosystem stability. Using a hybri...
The joint flood control operation of reservoir groups is a complex engineering problem with a large number of constraints and interdependent decision variables. Its solution has the characteristics of strong constraint, multi-stage, nonlinearity, and...
Over the past three decades, a social dimension of sustainability has been established. Much like the environment, society also suffers from forms of pollution that pose a threat to community development. The phenomenon of information disorders, comm...
The forty-year-old Long-Term Ecological Research MareChiara (LTER-MC) program started on 26 January 1984, with fortnightly oceanographic sampling until 1991 and then, from 1995, with weekly sampling up to the present time. LTER-MC produced >150 pu...
With economic globalization, the supply-and-demand gap of China’s minerals is becoming increasingly sharp, and the degree of dependence on imports is climbing, which poses a severe threat to the resource security for the country. From the persp...
Transportation networks are critical lifelines in national infrastructure but are increasingly exposed to risks arising from climate variability, cyber threats, aging assets, and limited resources. This paper presents a scoping review of 58 peer-revi...
Due to the rapid growth in IT technology, digital data have increased availability, creating novel security threats that need immediate attention. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is the most promising solution for preventing malicious intrusions...
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are getting a lot of attention these days as their technology becomes more mature and they benefit from the Internet-of-Vehicles (IoV) ecosystem. CAVs attract malicious activities that jeopardize security and s...
Urban flooding poses escalating threats to socioeconomic stability and human safety, exacerbated by urbanization and climate change. While urban flood resilience (UFR) has emerged as a critical framework for flood risk management, existing studies of...
The concept of a Lean Business Model (LBM) is derived from the Business Model Canvas (BMC), which is primarily focused on well-established businesses. However, in a competitive environment typified by Schumpeterian waves of creative destruction, new...
Autonomous maneuver decision making is the core of intelligent warfare, which has become the main research direction to enable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to independently generate control commands and complete air combat tasks according to envir...
Drought is a complex threat where its propagation is not yet controllable, causing more environmental, social, and economic damage. This research assesses the effects of incessant warming and decrescent precipitation by calculating SPI and SPEI from...
Using a high proportion of new energy is becoming the development trend of the modern power industry, with broad application prospects and potential threats to power system operation safety. This paper proposes a hybrid adaptive velocity update relax...
Harnessing wind energy is one of the fastest-growing areas in the energy industry. However, wind power still faces challenges, such as output intermittency due to its nature and output reduction as a result of the wake effect. Moreover, the current p...
