Although governmental institutions are talking loudly about the importance of businesses moving towards sustainability and adopting a circular economy (CE) approach, moving towards CE can take time for business companies. Business entities must review their business ideas and the possible implementation and adoption of their business processes towards more sustainable business activities. Adapting various sectors' business models towards the circular economy is not easy, and in many cases, there is a lack of motivation from business entities, as well as the knowledge and lack of confidence in starting changes, which can question the profitability of changing businesses. The difficulty of transition can be seen in various discussions in scientific publications. This article uses the literature review approach, comparison, synthesis, and analysis methods to collect and analyse CE principles and processes. The main goal of this article is to systematize all possible processes approaching CE in businesses and suggest a framework for CE, attributing processes into creative and technological categories. This created framework can better help business entities moving towards CE to plan the implementation of various business activities, reviewing and improving business ideas while preparing to move towards the CE approach. After analysing, systematizing, and comparing scientific literature about CE, a framework was developed that embraces a variety of processes that can ease changing business actions moving towards CE. The developed framework identifies two creative CE processes, six technological processes and one combined process containing creative and technological features.

“…This review provides a comprehensive overview of early classification approaches for both univariate and multivariate time series. Varese & Lombardi (2020) conducted a literature review to analyze the concept, classification, functionalities, and technological processes of dry ports. They used a literature review as a valid approach to identify gaps, issues, and opportunities for further study and research in the field of dry ports.…”

Classification algorithm is a supervised learning technique that is used to identify the category of new observations. However, in some cases, quantitative and qualitative data must be used together. With this approach, we tried to overcome the problems encountered in using quantitative and qualitative data together. In this paper, we model a new classification technique by converting all types of data to binary data because in real world, data are classified in different types such as binary, numeric or categorical. By this way, we develop a more accurate and efficient mixed data binarization approach for multi-attribute data classification problems. First, we determine the classes from available dataset and then we classify the new instances into these predetermined classes by using the new proposed data binarization approach. We show how each step of this algorithm could be performed efficiently with a numeric example. Then, we apply the proposed approach on a well-known iris dataset and our model show promising results and improvements over previous approaches.

“…A literature review to understand the various factors used are studied in the preliminary step, as well as various methods used for dry port location studies. Various literature papers have reviewed dry ports: their concept and functionalities have been elaborated by Varese et al(Varese, Marigo and Lombardi, 2020) and Miraj et al, and the research trends in the area of dry ports have also been explored (Miraj et al, 2021). Future implications of dry port studies have been focused on as well (A Khaslavskaya and Roso, 2020).…”

Dry Port Location Factor Determination using Delphi in Peninsular Region

Locating a dry port depends on various criteria such as distance, modes of transport, cost associated, environmental, geographical, and social concerns. The paper's primary purpose is to identify the location-specific attributes impacting dry port locations, particularly in peninsular India, where seaports are very close to each other. The paper's objective has been achieved through a four-cycle Delphi survey and criticality through linear ranking and consistency through Kendall’s ‘W’. Initially, the criteria are identified through a systematic literature survey. They are then sieved within a focus group consisting of five experts with experience of more than twenty years in port operations. Final vetting of the criterion is done through a Delphi survey; the experts with a mutual interest in the subject but from different backgrounds are included. The final vetted list is determined. In the last two rounds of the survey, the rankings were determined, a consensus was reached, and the final rank was obtained. The results indicate that proximity and economic criteria are the most crucial in the chosen geography, which contradicts the developed regions, where the environmental criterion dominates. However, the environmental criteria have been ranked third. Even though the Delphi method is an age-old method used in many literatures in different contexts, it is not used in a dry port problem in the peninsular region. Consensus building is significant in strategic decisions, like dry port location selection. Since this study involves multiple stakeholders from diverse backgrounds and a subjective opinion was required, the Delphi method and linear ranking have been adopted.
