    Assessing the impact of blockchain technology on the overall performance of sustainable supply chains: an analytical perspective
    (Springer Link, 2023-10-19) Sahabuddin, M; Tan, Q; Khokhar, Maryam; Hossain, M A; Alam, Mohammad Faridul; Khan, Wahuduzzaman
    Supply chain control and sustainability can be significantly improved using distributed ledger technologies such as blockchain. The blockchain has the potential to facilitate responsible sourcing appropriately, compliance with weather requirements, and sustainable delivery chains. The purpose of this study is to address the hassle of managing conservatism when approaching era adoption and to explore the performance enhancements in blockchain-generated implementations. To achieve this goal, we introduce a scientific approach aimed at studying the outcomes of various factors in the adoption process in the blockchain era and verifying their impact on the overall performance of the delivery chain. Furthermore, a team of multidisciplinary professionals will establish causal relationships among these elements through a consensus-based approach. Ultimately, fuzzy reasoning tools can be used to determine the relative weights between identified factors and delivery chain performance goals. We will assemble causal representations of diagnoses using a dense scientific map model and dynamically generate scenarios for each. The study demonstrates that the integration of blockchain power generation can significantly improve the effectiveness of mineral supply chains. It uses smart contracts to promote environmental sustainability, traceability, and transparency.

    Circular value creation: business models and supply chain strategies.
    (Springer Link, 2023-09-11) Sahabuddin, M; Alam, M S; Khokhar, Maryam; Hossain, M A; Alam, Mohammad Faridul; Khan, Wahuduzzaman
    This paper aims to advance research on the circular economy, sustainable innovation through adopting a circular business model (CBM), and circular supply chain management (CSCM). The circular economy is gradually acknowledged as promising to attain ecological growth by minimising resource input, waste, emissions and energy loss. This article investigates the environmental efficacy of circular value creation and its implications for business models and supply chain strategies. It intends to incorporate CBM and CSCM for sustainable innovation and ecological growth, relying on a review of the literature and four case analyses. The context identifies five distinct CBM propelling supply chain strategies and sustainable innovation, supply chain loops, which differ in intricacy and worth. The study demonstrates that circular business models (CBM) and circular CSCM models can facilitate organisations in accomplishing ecological objectives. The companies examined in the study have different characteristics, but all face comparable challenges in persuading consumers and suppliers to adopt circular business models and supply chain management. A significant challenge is that customers perceive products made from recycled or remanufactured materials as inferior to traditional products, leading to lower prices despite meeting comparable quality standards. Therefore, we review the current literature on the business model background to technological, organizational, and social innovation. Since the existing literature does not provide a general conceptual definition of sustainable innovation and circular business mode for circular supply chain management, we present normative examples of requirements that circular business models should meet to support sustainable innovation. Finally, we outline the research agenda by asking some guiding questions.

    Development Of Design And Manufacturing Of A Fixed Wing Radio Controlled Micro Air Vehicle (Mav)
    (R&D Wing, MIST, 2011-02) Hossain, M A; Hasan, F; Seraz, A F M T; Rajib, S A
    Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are a new type of aircraft maturing day by day and have reached unprecedented levels of growth recently. Similarly to larger Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), MAVs have enormous potential in applications, both military and civilian, like reconnaissance over battlefields and surveillance of urban areas, data relay, air sampling etc. This article describes the development and selection of a fixed wing MAV with the analysis of simulated results. High wing theory with NACA 4412 aerofoil’s analytical data has been used to practically predict the performance of the MAV.
