Summary: Emergency logistics management has gained significant importance due to global disasters, and this paper provides a review of papers published in Transportation Research Part E (TR-E) in this field. It highlights the impact, topics, and methodological reach of the journal, as well as proposes future research topics and the need for an integrated and intelligent disaster management framework.

Summary: This article examines concerns regarding the reliability and strength of causal claims in management research. It critiques three prevalent forms of theorizing - propositional, configurational, and process approaches - used to identify causal relationships in this field. It argues that while no single approach is sufficient on its own for robust causal claims, combining approaches and subjecting them to multiple criteria can significantly enhance and strengthen claims. The article highlights the risks of narrow monolithic approaches and proposes a model of causal triangulation for strengthening causal claims.

Summary: Supply chain finance (SCF) is an innovative solution aimed at optimizing financial flows in supply chains, which has attracted significant attention from academia and industry. This research fills the gap in existing literature reviews by integrating recent findings and synthesizing nine research dimensions in the selected SCF literature.

Summary: This article reviews the literature on the impact of licensure exemptions in social work and identifies critical gaps in the existing evidence. Limited empirical evidence suggests that exemptions may benefit incumbent social workers but do not necessarily eliminate the issue of lower-quality services. The article recommends further empirical research to assess the effects of exemptions on public safety and socioeconomic equity.

Summary: The choice of SCRM strategies should fit with contextual factors, and the perceived usefulness of different mitigation strategies and their degree of implementation can influence the effectiveness of risk management. The study also suggests a negative effect of the lack of fit between perceived usefulness and implementation on risk management efficacy, with the time assigned to a Risk Manager moderating this effect.

Summary: The sustainability agenda revolves around interconnected dilemmas concerning economic, social, and environmental goals. Progress has been made in establishing thresholds and targets, but further work is needed to articulate theoretical frameworks describing sustainability outcomes. This study highlights the importance of institutional design in achieving sustainable development outcomes and suggests that further research into process-oriented mechanisms can lead to more effective sustainability policies.

Summary: In the last decade, wildfires have become wider and more destructive due to climate change and urban growth. This paper addresses the problem of positioning firefighting lines to reduce the risk of fires under a budget constraint. The complexity of the problem is studied, and an efficient algorithm is proposed for certain instances on trees.

Summary: The pervasive influence of social media on residents' attitudes to tourism requires a causal-chain framework to study. This article provides a theoretically inclusive framework that examines the direct and indirect influences of social media on residents' attitudes by analyzing the information society and drawing from relevant theories.

Summary: Social phenomena are complex and require multiple research methods to address different paradigms, with the potential for biases due to subjective judgments and values affecting the research process. Integration of methods is crucial to understand the intrinsic complexity of the social entity being studied.

Summary: This study analyzes the probability differences of unique and multiple discoveries between research fields to understand the inventive behavior in science and technology. The findings reveal heterogeneity in inventive processes across different fields and a higher probability of patented inventions in medicine compared to physics.

Summary: The Voynich Manuscript is a medieval book that has resisted decoding for over a century. New propositions and questions are put forward regarding the manuscript writing system and labels, leading to explanations of irregular letter forms and the broadening of the interpretation of labels. Theoretical implications of these findings call into question the validity of natural language hypothesis.

Summary: Our perception of moving stimuli is prone to systematic biases. In this study, a new theoretical account called the speed prior account is proposed to explain various effects related to dynamic/moving stimuli. Experimental results support this new explanation and discuss its implications for the perception of moving stimuli and dynamic information.
