Caputo Fractional Derivative and Quantum-Like Coherence (open access)

Caputo Fractional Derivative and Quantum-Like Coherence

This article studies two forms of anomalous diffusions and discusses the joint use of these prescriptions, with a phenomenological method and a theoretical projection method, leading to two apparently different diffusion equations. The authors prove that the two diffusion equations are equivalent and design a time series that corresponds to the anomalous diffusion equation proposed.

Country Differences in Determinants of Behavioral Intention towards Sustainable Apparel Products (open access)

Country Differences in Determinants of Behavioral Intention towards Sustainable Apparel Products

This article explores determinants of behavioral intention toward sustainable apparel products (SAP). It examines both consumer characteristics (shopping values, consciousness of sustainability, perceived consumer effectiveness, and environmental knowledge) and marketing perspective (evaluation criteria of SAP) determinants for encouraging sustainable apparel consumption behaviors. Significant country differences emerge and validate that differentiated marketing strategies are required when targeting global consumers.

Field Environmental Philosophy: A Biocultural Ethic Approach to Education and Ecotourism for Sustainability (open access)

Field Environmental Philosophy: A Biocultural Ethic Approach to Education and Ecotourism for Sustainability

This article proposes an educational methodology, called field environmental philosophy (FEP), which orients ecotourism practices to reconnect citizens and nature in order to contribute to local and global sustainability. FEP’s methodology is starting to be adapted in other world regions, such as Germany, Japan, and Mexico, to integrate education and ecotourism for sustainability.
