Greenhouse gas emissions from tourism have been growing more than 2 times faster than those from the rest of the global economy. The study tracked international and domestic travel for 175 countries to find tourism's carbon footprint is 9% of the world's total emissions.
Stressful periods such as COVID-19, hurricanes or infant formula shortages negatively impact racial groups differently
Researchers provide vital insights into social determinants such as government support, stable housing, and employment opportunities on postpartum health among Louisiana mothers during stressful periods including COVID-19, hurricanes and the infant formula shortage.
The study, "The role of government assistance, housing, and employment on postpartum maternal health across income and race: a mixed methods study," published in BMC Public Health, was led by a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Reproductive Endocrinology & Women’s Health Laboratory at Pennington Biomedical research Center, along with colleagues from Woman’s Hospital and Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.
Demand for NGO services usually increases in times of crisis. However, a new study led by Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) in Lithuania has found that the COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on NGOs working in Lithuania, Croatia, Poland and the UK. Some achieved financial success, but this often meant simplifying their programmes and compromising non-financial results.
A recent study published in the California Management Review by leading innovation scholars, including Linus Dahlander, professor of strategy and Lufthansa Group Chair in Innovation at ESMT Berlin, presents a comprehensive framework detailing how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming open innovation practices. The framework identifies three key ways in which AI impacts open innovation: by enhancing existing practices through greater efficiency and scalability, by enabling new forms of collaboration and business models, and by replacing or reshaping traditional open innovation methods with autonomous, AI-driven processes.
