Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Green economics: e-waste recycling intentions of urban South Africans   Order a copy of this article
    by Abraham J.J. Mouton, Therese Roux, Jacob Harm Wichers 
    Abstract: Electronic waste (e-waste) pertains to all electrical and electronic devices that have reached the end of their operational life, posing environmental hazards. It stands out as one of the rapidly expanding sectors on a global scale. This article aims to apply the theory of planned behaviour to predict consumer intentions towards e-waste recycling, pinpointing the key factors contributing most significantly to behavioural intentions. Through a quantitative approach involving online surveys, data was gathered from 522 respondents. The collected data underwent exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling for analysis. The investigation pinpointed the following factors as the primary catalysts for behavioural intention: (a) the convenience associated with e-waste recycling, (b) attitudes regarding e-waste recycling, and (c) the environmental awareness exhibited by consumers. This research offers valuable insights for scholars, marketing practitioners, and environmental experts, aiding them in comprehending and fostering environmentally conscious consumer behaviour.
    Keywords: environmental awareness; e-waste; WEEE recycling; theory of planned behaviour; behavioural intention; green economy.

    by Julieta Peluso, Carolina M. Aronzon, Agostina Martínez Chehda, Melisa S. Olivelli, Ana Paula Cuzziol Boccioni, Rafael C. Lajmanovich, Paola M. Peltzer 
    Abstract: Ivermectin (IVM) is an antiparasitic extensively employed in cattle breeding for decades. It can reach aquatic ecosystems and produce negative effects on non-target organisms. So, the aim was to evaluate the effects on survival and behaviour of a commercial formulation of IVM on Physalaemus santafecinus larvae. Behavioural parameters were assessed at 72 h and 96 h. The 96h-LC50 was 3.48
    Keywords: amphibians; behavioral parameters; ecotoxicology; ivermectin.
