Summary: With the increasing attention on sustainability due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a significant rise in interest in the green supply chain. This study, utilizing the resource-based view theory, provides deeper insights into the integration of resource-based characteristics that can facilitate a smooth transition from traditional to green supply chains, as well as enhance the effectiveness of existing green supply chains. The findings confirm the positive associations between supply chain connectivity, supply chain information sharing, top management commitment, green procurement and logistics acceptance, and green supply chain management. Moreover, the study identifies the serial mediation effect of top management commitment and green procurement and logistics acceptance on the relationship between supply chain connectivity and information sharing with green supply chain management. This study offers practical insights and contributes to the development of a novel green supply chain management scale.

Summary: Multinational corporations (MNCs) face challenges in disseminating green initiatives to their subsidiaries due to cultural differences. This study empirically investigates how national cultural distance influences subsidiaries' green supply chain adoption levels and how headquarters can overcome this challenge by strategically using cultural similarity to strengthen a shared vision. The findings suggest that cultural characteristics like low individualism, low uncertainty avoidance, masculinity, and a long-term orientation can enhance the shared vision and promote cross-cultural cooperation in disseminating green initiatives.

Summary: This study investigates the benefits generated by the virtual environment of metaverse in driving firms' rational choice for mutual trust building, ensuring green knowledge sharing intention, enhancing supply chain resilience, achieving green performance, and promoting sustainable development. A conceptual framework is formulated by incorporating natural resource-based view, knowledge-based view, and rational choice theory, and it is supported and validated using PLS-SEM. The findings reveal that the metaverse creates physical proximity, manages communication distance, and influences firms' emotional attitude. It also facilitates sensory feedback, strengthening emotional expression. Consequently, supply chain firms adopt rational thinking, foster mutual trust, promote green knowledge sharing, enhance resilience, achieve environmentally friendly performance, and contribute to sustainable development.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.
