Summary: This study investigates the challenges in transferring knowledge from MNC hotels to subsidiaries through the lens of absorptive capacity. Factors such as competencies, experience, historical background, limited opportunities, cultural discord, and communication barriers were found to influence different stages of knowledge transfer. The findings highlight the significant impact of a country's historical experience on absorptive capacity.

Summary: This study examines a simple model of consumption of animals with altruistic behavior towards animals. The model reveals a public good issue, where the market equilibrium leads to low quality and excessive quantity of animal lives when they are not worth living. The implications of the findings and the significance of the modeling choices for future economic research on animal welfare are discussed.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of farmers' participation in different short food supply chains (SFSCs) on synthetic pesticide use and crop yields. The findings show that farmers who sell part of their crops through direct-to-consumer channels use significantly fewer synthetic pesticides compared to those who sell through long food supply chains. However, there is no evidence that farmers involved in direct-to-retailer channels use significantly fewer synthetic pesticides. Additionally, there is no indication that SFSC participation affects crop yields.

Summary: In cities, green areas play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation, and the heterogeneity of land cover is an important factor. The relationship between area and heterogeneity affects the richness of bird species in urban green areas, with urban avoider species benefiting from large and heterogeneous patches.

Summary: This article provides empirical evidence that the opportunity cost of time explains the frequency of household food waste. The study found that proxies for the opportunity cost of time were positively correlated with the probability of reporting wasting food.

Summary: The lack of tourism-specific tacit knowledge can hinder the participation of locals in rural tourism development. This study explores how tacit knowledge transfer can be facilitated to enhance locals' capabilities. It finds that experienced migrant workers can provide tourism-specific tacit knowledge, but the lack of knowledge-related transaction activities and trust between different groups leads to fragmented and ineffective knowledge transfer. The study also demonstrates that an influential third party can promote tacit knowledge transfer by handling transaction costs, initiating transfer plans, and coordinating relationships among participants.

Summary: Developing a green infrastructure is an important environmental policy goal in many countries around the world. Different countries have different requirements on the spatial allocation of conservation sites for green infrastructure. Price-type and procedural instruments are commonly used, but the utilization of incentive mechanisms that internalize the benefit of clustering is relatively low. There is a need for more studies on incentive mechanisms and green infrastructure policies in the global South.

Summary: This study examines the double-edged sword effect of enterprise social media (ESM) by investigating the impact of ESM technostressors on hospitality employees' post-adoption behaviors. Findings suggest that persistence, work connectivity, and visibility of ESM promote routine use and innovative use behaviors, while role conflict and emotion interruption of ESM negatively influence routine use. Management support can mitigate the negative impacts of ESM technostressors.

Summary: This study proposes a new methodology for the identification and prediction of urban land subsidence using a combination of physics-driven models and data-driven models. The study uses multi-source datasets to generate a driving factor layer and implements a comprehensive factor identification system. Machine learning is used to calculate the weight of each driving factor and establish an identification and evaluation model for land subsidence. The study also predicts the development trend of the main influencing factors of land subsidence using the SARIMA model and the MODFLOW model. The research provides insights into the relationship between land subsidence and groundwater exploitation as well as coal mining planning.

Summary: Africa faces challenges in terms of socioeconomics and security, which are connected to the continent's natural capital. This study examines the drivers of ecological footprint (EFP) in Africa using panel data from 39 countries between 1996 and 2018. Various factors, such as the economy, globalization, governance, energy, and socioeconomic aspects, are considered. Machine learning algorithms and regression techniques are employed to determine the important drivers and their marginal effects on EFP. The findings provide insights for policymakers and environmentalists in Africa.

Summary: The demand for renewable energy has led to the development of wind farms worldwide. This study used GPS-tracking data of griffon vultures in Spain to evaluate factors influencing vulnerability and exposure to collision risks. The results showed that food availability, distance to nesting areas, and the presence of conspecifics affected the vulnerability and exposure of vultures. The study emphasized the need to reduce mapping uncertainties and plan wind energy development spatially to ensure the safety of vulnerable species.

Summary: This paper investigates China's energy trade stability using a survival analysis approach. It finds that the energy trade linkages between China and 153 other countries are complex and unstable, with short periods of trade with many countries. Geopolitically risky regions, such as the Middle East and Africa, have the lowest trade stability. Climate risks have significant effects on energy trade stability. The paper proposes several policy options to improve energy trade stability in China, with special attention to increasing global climate risks.

Summary: This study explores how different types of street environments influence people's COVID-19 risk perception. The results showed that openness was the most important influencing factor, while visual crowdedness was the least important one. High-value clusters of COVID-19 risk perception were mainly found in poor-quality commercial streets, residential streets, and leisure streets close to the plaza, while low-value aggregations were mainly found in high-quality commercial streets, residential streets, and leisure streets close to blue space. The importance of environmental factors varied greatly by location.

Summary: Cruise line owners and insurance companies failed to predict the global pandemic, leading to a significant drop in demand for sea voyages and causing huge losses. Despite the implementation of sanitary restrictions and protocols, potential passengers still hesitate to travel by sea. This study examines the economic effects in the Baltic Sea Region and provides solutions for seaport authorities and cruise operators to cope with potential threats in the future, as well as recommendations for policy makers to ensure financial security and insurance cover.

Summary: This article analyzes whether Indonesia needs specific legislation to regulate foreign military activities in its exclusive economic zone (EEZ). It argues that it is difficult to justify regulating such activities under international law and suggests that Indonesia should maintain the current status quo of not regulating them.
