“…The SAP-LAP framework has predominantly been used as a case research (Charan, 2012; Palanisamy, 2012). It has been also used for the theory building in humanitarian supply chain (Kabra and Ramesh, 2015) and disaster management (Sushil, 2017).…”

“…The SAP-LAP framework has been further enhanced to “SAP-LAP Linkages” framework that considers the interaction and inter-relationships among the different interfaces of SAP-LAP (Sushil, 2009). To the best of our knowledge, Sushil (2017) is one of the earliest work to use SAP-LAP Linkages as a generic framework for the purpose of theory building. Inspired by this approach, in this paper, we attempt to integrate Industry 4.0 and CE by using SAP-LAP linkage framework.…”

“…Still, to the best of our knowledge, there are insignificant numbers of studies that consider the qualitative factors to understand the overall view of integrating Industry 4.0 technologies into current CE practices. In this context, the situation-actor-process (SAP)-learning-action-performance (LAP) (SAP-LAP) linkages framework can be a very important tool to develop a systematic theoretical framework to provide a holistic view for the managerial inquiry of the issues of CE principles and implementing Industry 4.0 mechanisms for the same (Sushil, 2009, 2017). It is a qualitative and interpretive approach for developing models of managerial inquiry (Sushil, 2000).…”

Purpose In the recent years, the two increasingly popular topics, namely, Industry 4.0 and circular economy (CE) have attracted the attention of many academicians and practitioners. However, the connection between CE and Industry 4.0 has not been much investigated in the literature. Motivated by this gap, the purpose of this paper is to integrate these two streams and attempt to understand the new paradigm of Industry 4.0 for resolving the issues pertaining to CE principles. Design/methodology/approach The study uses situation, actor, process, learning, action, performance (SAP-LAP) linkages framework to analyze the applications of Industry 4.0 mechanisms in realizing the issues of current CE business models. This is done through the interpretation of the cross-interaction and self-interaction relationships among the different interfaces/elements of SAP-LAP. Findings The results suggest that top managers are the most essential actors for integrating the use of Industry 4.0 to achieve sustainability, in the light of CE. In addition, advanced technologies such as Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems are the most important Industry 4.0 actions that help in improving the CE performance parameters. Research limitations/implications This qualitative study is an attempt to analyze and assess the strategic issues pertaining to Industry 4.0 standards in CE. The study identifies learnings (challenges/opportunities) and the corrective actions which are imperative toward achieving CE principles. This study will guide managers and policymakers to understand the importance of implementing Industry 4.0 for accomplishing CE principles. Originality/value This study integrates two important streams of literature – Industry 4.0 and CE. Thus, this paper offers insights about the importance of Industry 4.0 standards in achieving CE principles.

Event classification and location prediction from tweets during disasters

Social media is a platform to express one's view in real time. This real time nature of social media makes it an attractive tool for disaster management, as both victims and officials can put their problems and solutions at the same place in real time. We investigate the Twitter post in a flood related disaster and propose an algorithm to identify victims asking for help. The developed system takes tweets as inputs and categorizes them into high or low priority tweets. User location of high priority tweets with no location information is predicted based on historical locations of the users using the Markov model. The system is working well, with its classification accuracy of 81%, and location prediction accuracy of 87%. The present system can be extended for use in other natural disaster situations, such as earthquake, tsunami, etc., as well as man-made disasters such as riots, terrorist attacks etc. The present system is first of its kind, aimed at helping victims during disasters based on their tweets.

“…Instead of fearing disasters per se, societies are "urged to learn the new life-skills of preparedness and resilience" (Duffield 2013: 480). Disaster mitigation centers on the technical and material inputs to "prepare for the predetermined roles" that different actors and processes have in pre-disaster, during the disaster, and during post-disaster operations (Sushil 2017). In this vein, the United 14� Nations General Assembly established an open-ended intergovernmental expert working group to update the terminology used by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (unisdr) (UN General Assembly 2015).…”
