abstract = {The Boussinesq-Peregrine system is derived from the water waves system in presence of topographic variation under the hypothesis of shallowness and small amplitude regime. The system becomes significantly simpler (at least in the mathematical sens) under the hypothesis of small topographic variation. In this work we study the long time and global well-posedness of the Boussinesq-Peregrine system. We start by showing the intermediate time well-posedness in the case of general topography (i.e. the amplitude of the bottom graph ?=O(1)). The novelty resides in the functional setting, Hs(R), s>12. Then we show our main result establishing that the global existence result obtained in [14] in the flat bottom case is still valid for the Boussinesq-Peregrine system under the hypothesis of small amplitude bottom variation (i.e. ?=O(?)). More precisely we prove that this system is unconditionally globally well-posed in the Sobolev spaces of type Hs(R), s>12. Finally, we show the existence of a weak global solution in the Schonbek sense [18], i.e. existence of low regularity entropic solutions of the small bottom amplitude BoussinesqPelegrine equations emanating from u0?H1and ?0in an Orlicz class as weak limits of regular solutions.

abstract = {Urban environments present significant challenges to commercial Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers due to degraded satellite visibility and Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) receptions. Mitigating NLOS receptions for GNSS is essential, especially for safety-critical and reliability-critical location-based applications. Traditional physical error channel propagation modeling encountered bottlenecks since the NLOS and multipath errors cannot be modeled accurately in complex urban environments. Data-driven methods show significant potential for effectively classifying GNSS Line-of-sight (LOS) and NLOS. This paper proposes the CarNet - a generative Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based GNSS LOS/NLOS classifier by transforming multivariate time-series data into images. CarNet comprises two modules: an image generator and an image classifier. The image generator enriches and augments the original 1-dimension feature vector into 2-dimension feature maps and the image classifier uses an inception-based CNN to realize multi-scale feature extraction and classification. The proposed architecture is trained and tested on more than 6 h of real vehicle data collected in different challenging environments (about 1.6 million samples). A thorough benchmark is conducted, comparing CarNet against the existing mainstream Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods. The results with cross-validation on unseen data indicate that CarNet achieves the highest accuracy, i.e., 81.47% while maintaining the optimal balance between precision for both classes: 83.3% for LOS and 70.99% for NLOS. Finally, positioning accuracy is assessed using a reweighting strategy based on the LOS/NLOS information predicted by CarNet. The assessment of total datasets shows that CarNet weighting can achieve the best accuracy compared to the traditional weighting schemes based on signal-to-noise ratio or satellite elevation. CarNet shows strong potential for embedding into GNSS receivers to enhance positioning accuracy in complex urban environments, benefiting a wide range of location-based applications such as autonomous driving, emergency response, and urban logistics.},

Evidential clustering, an increasingly popular method in the soft clustering family, derives its strength from the theory of belief functions, which enables it to effectively characterize the uncertainty and imprecision of data distributions. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of evidential clustering, detailing its theoretical foundations, methodologies, and applications. Specifically, we start by briefly recalling the theory of belief functions with its transformations into other uncertainty reasoning theories. Then, we introduce the concepts of soft data, partitions, and methods with an emphasis on data and partitioning within the theory of belief functions. Subsequently, we summarize the advancements and quantitative evaluations of existing evidential clustering methods and provide a roadmap to help in selecting an appropriate method based on specific application needs. Finally, we identify the major challenges faced in the development and application of evidential clustering, pointing out promising avenues for future research, including theoretical limitations, applicable datasets, and application domains. The survey offers a structured understanding of existing evidential clustering methods, highlighting their theoretical underpinnings, practical implementations, and future research directions.

Unlike most of the projection methods for solving incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, the proposed method is free from any numerical inconsistencies generated by the treatment

of boundary conditions on the pressure solution. Two pressure-correction strategies including the scalar auxiliary variable approach are proposed to enhance the accuracy of the method.

A rigorous stability analysis is also carried out in this study for the considered strategies.

Numerical results are presented for three benchmark problems to validate the unconditional stability and to demonstrate the performance of the proposed fractional-step method for solving unsteady incompressible viscous flows. The obtained computational results support our

abstract = {Isolated, undamped geodesic-acoustic-mode (GAM) packets have been demonstrated to

obey a (focusing) nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) (E. Poli, Phys. Plasmas, 2021).

This equation predicts susceptibility of GAM packets to the modulational instability (MI).

The necessary conditions for this instability are analysed analytically and numerically

using the NLSE model. The predictions of the NLSE are compared with gyrokinetic

simulations performed with the global particle-in-cell code ORB5, where GAM packets

are created from initial perturbations of the axisymmetric radial electric field E r . An

instability of the GAM packets with respect to modulations is observed both in cases in

which an initial perturbation is imposed and when the instability develops spontaneously.

However, significant differences in the dynamics of the small scales are discerned between

the NLSE and gyrokinetic simulations. These discrepancies are mainly due to the radial

dependence of the strength of the nonlinear term, which we do not retain in the solution

of the NLSE, and to the damping of higher radial spectral components k r . The damping

of the high- k r components, which develop as a consequence of the nonlinearity, can be

understood in terms of Landau damping. The influence of the ion Larmor radius ? i as well

as the perturbation wavevector k pert on this effect is studied. For the parameters considered

here the aforementioned damping mechanism hinders the MI process significantly from

developing to its full extent and is strong enough to stabilize some of the (according to the

undamped NLSE model) unstable wavevectors.},

The study posits a theoretical model grounded in resource-based, data empowerment, and contingency theory to conduct the study. The main aspect of the research is to analyse the mediating role played by green supply chain integration on the association between digital transformation and green supply chain performance. Furthermore, the study also tried to uncover the moderating impact of absorptive capacity and economic policy uncertainty on above mentioned relationship. The moderating effect could deaccelerate carbon neutrality and could create hindrance towards circular economy. Hence, absorptive capacity is anticipated to influence how organizations assimilate and apply digital advancements, while economic policy uncertainty is expected to shape the overall landscape within which these transformations occur. The study followed a quantitative design and PLS-SEM analysis. The results show the importance of digital transformation in in order to derive environmental sustainability within supply chains. In this study absorptive capacity found as a significant moderator. The results offer valuable insights for businesses in order to to enhance environmental sustainability. Also, these efforts with digital transformation and effective SCM practices can help a firm to achieve carbon neutrality. This distinct approach promotes more sustainable and resilient green supply chain practices that enables businesses to stay agile and accelerate circular economy practices.},

millennials, reflecting a shift towards healthier and more mindful drinking habits. This paper delves into the

social factors driving this trend, employing the rational of habit theory to provide a comprehensive

understanding of NoLo wines consumption as a social behaviour among Italian millennials.

Design/methodology/approach - The research design comprises symmetrical and asymmetrical approach.

The study employs Cluster and fsQCA to understand the granularities of NoLo wine consumption.

Findings - The present study reveals that young adults are willingness to pay (WTP) more for NoLo wine in

exchange of improved health benefits as a reward. The contrarian observation of relatively consumers with low

average income exhibiting the high willingness to pay more for NoLo wine.

Research limitations/implications - The sample islimitedto Italyand skewed in terms ofNoLowine consumption.

The participants were aware of NoLo wine but did not consume it in the past year. The study identified the

paradoxical stance of low average family income group exhibiting more willingness-to-pay for de-alcoholised wine.

Practical implications - Firstly, young adults are increasingly health-conscious,seeking alternativesto alcohol

that promote well-being and reduce health risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption. Secondly,

mindfulness practices have gained popularity among young adults for altering self-perception, leading to a

preference for beverages that align with mindful consumption and stress reduction. NoLo wine offers a suitable

alternative, providing a similar sensory experience without the intoxicating effects of alcohol.

Social implications - Habit theory, pioneered by James (1890), posits that habits are formed through a three-stage

process: cue,routine and reward.In the context of NoLo wine consumption, cues can include social gatherings, dining

occasions orstressrelieftriggers. The routine involvesthe act of consuming NoLo wine, while the reward stemsfrom

the perceived benefits of this wine, such as reduced alcohol intake, improved health and social acceptance. The

prevalence of NoLo wine consumption among Italian young adults can be attributed to a confluence ofsocialfactors.

Originality/value - The paper attempts to evaluate the contrarian case using fsQCA and the conceptual

configuration of necessary conditions, viz. self-perception, social norms and health-consciousness.},

the convection and diffusion terms of both velocity and temperature solutions are uncoupled while a viscosity term is kept in the correction step at all times. 

This fractional-step method maintains the same boundary conditions imposed in the original problem for the corrected velocity solution, and it eliminates all inconsistencies related to boundary conditions for the

treatment of the pressure solution. In addition, the method is unconditionally stable, and it allows the temperature to be transported by a non-divergence-free velocity field. In this case, we introduce a methodology to handle the subtle temperature convection term in the error analysis

and establish full first-order error estimates for the velocity and the temperature solutions and 1?2-order estimates for the pressure solution in their appropriate norms. Three numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the theoretical results and examine the performance of the proposed method for solving unsteady thermal convection in non-Newtonian fluids. The computational results obtained for the considered examples confirm the convergence, accuracy, and applicability of the proposed time fractional-step method for unsteady thermal convection in non-Newtonian fluids.},

hydrocarbon gases, predominantly methane, which is released in significant quantities during mining operations. Effectively

mitigating methane emissions is imperative. The inclusion of methane forecasting allows for the early identification of potential methane emissions, hence results in significance enhancement in mine safety. The research work is focused on real-time remote monitoring and cloud-based forecasting of methane levels in underground coal mines. An Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) device is developed for data acquisition in underground coal mines, capturing essential parameters such as methane concentration,

temperature, and humidity. The collected data are utilized to train LSTM based multivariate forecasting model. The trained model is

subsequently deployed in the cloud. The experiment is performed in a mine of Eastern Coalfields Limited, India. After the deployment

of the proposed model, the developed IIoT device transmits real-time data, obtained from the mine, to the cloud. Based on the real

time data, our model conducts methane forecasting and communicates results back to the IIoT device. The device issues immediate

alerts when methane levels surpass predefined thresholds. This ensures enhanced safety in mining operations by providing warnings

for both current and forecasted methane concentrations. The forecasted methane concentrations, along with real-time data, are

accessible through mobile applications and a web-based dashboard. The accuracy of the proposed model is measured by mean

absolute error, mean absolute percentage error and root mean square error, which demonstrate values of 156.95 ppm, 4.23% and

191.53 ppm respectively. A comparative study is performed where our model is evaluated against the multivariate Multilayer

Perceptron (MLP), Vector autoregression (VAR) and Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models. The comparative

SDGs established by the United Nations provide a comprehensive framework for addressing global issues. To monitor progress towards these goals, we need to develop key performance indicators and integrate and analyze heterogeneous datasets. The definition of these indicators requires the use of existing data and metadata. However, the diversity of data sources and formats raises major issues in terms of structuring and integration. Despite the abundance of open data and metadata, its exploitation remains limited, leaving untapped potential for guiding urban policies towards sustainability. Thus, this paper introduces a novel approach for SDG indicator computation, leveraging the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Knowledge Graphs (KGs). We propose a method that combines rule-based filtering with LLM-powered schema mapping to establish semantic correspondences between diverse data sources and SDG indicators, including disaggregation. Our approach integrates these mappings into a KG, which enables indicator computation by querying graph's topology. We evaluate our method through a case study focusing on the SDG Indicator 11.7.1 about accessibility of public open spaces. Our experimental results show significant improvements in accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score compared to traditional schema mapping techniques.},

We use here numerical experiments performed with a 'particles modes' model based on a double average over the fast cyclotron phase and over the bounce (or transit) phase to show the major role played by energetic particles and shear flows in this scenario. 'Particle modes' are meant here as classes of particles, identified by some adiabatic invariant after a gyro-average procedure, which are associated to the description of some specific linear modes of the plasma. The introduction of energetic circulating ions or shear flows into the system makes a larger number of particle modes being involved in the synchronization process. A global synchronization of the Fourier modes of the turbulent spectrum can be this way achieved. This process allows for a bifurcation towards self-organization, which is associated to the emergence of a staircase-like structure. This is known to be an essential element in the modification of the zonal flow pattern in phase space during the suppression of microturbulence in tokamaks.},

Over the course of two rounds, we interview 38 participants, most of whom are digital natives. We find that engaging with NFTs is the new form of day trading, reflecting financialization of everyday life. The value of NFTs is mainly speculative and utilitarian, and NFTs themselves are best thought of as derivatives. Value co-creation in NFT project communities is largely focused on gaining superior information about the project. We contribute to the crypto-marketing and web3 literature by advancing a novel model of NFT consumer value that extends Holbrook's (1999) typology and distinguishes both positive and negative aspects of consumer value that have been overlooked in mainstream literature. We shed light on the role of communities in an unusual setting: a nascent, illiquid, speculative, informationally opaque market for digital assets.

abstract = {The transportation of phosphate slurry through large-scale pipelines presents significant challenges due to the complex behavior of multiphase flows, particularly with varying solid content, density, and dynamic viscosity. Efficient and accurate prediction of flow behavior is critical for optimizing the operation of such pipelines. This work aims to develop a dynamic computational model to simulate phosphate slurry flow in pipelines. The case study focuses on the OCP Group's main slurry pipeline, which links the mining sites at Khouribga to the industrial plants at Jorf Lasfar, Morocco. This pipeline system spans a total length of 187.124 km, consisting of 5237 pipes with an inner diameter ranging from 0.8546 m to 0.8578 m, and features several elevation changes along its ground level. Using a section-averaged, dynamic approach and the Finite Volume scheme, the model computes essential flow parameters, including density, dynamic viscosity, and pressure, for the incompressible and non-Newtonian slurry and process water flows. The model's accuracy is validated against on-site measured data, showing an average deviation of ±0.32% for outlet density, and below 10% for pressure along the pipeline, underscoring the model's reliability. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to illustrate the impact of key parameters on the predicted head losses and pressures along the pipeline. This analysis shows that the slurry viscosity is the most critical parameter, significantly influencing these predictions. This model provides high accuracy and reasonable CPU time for real-time simulation and monitoring, while also offering significant potential for optimizing pipeline operations and ensuring the reliability of phosphate transport.},

We apply the autoregressive distributed lags model and fully modified ordinary least squares approach to examine 37 years of historical data and elicit robust findings. Our main results are threefold. First, while an initial rise in the sharing economy does not lead to short-run changes in sustainable development, its impact becomes positive in the long run and advances sustainable development. Second, sustainable development is a long-term process to which technological innovation positively contributes, irrespective of the short or long run. Third, domestic and foreign investors positively contribute to sustainability, while economic growth has an inverted U-shape relation with sustainable development. These findings thus suggest that the sharing economy and innovation help boost real-world development and promote a circular economy.},

virgin olive oil (EVOO) using the quick response (QR) code. The study uses means-end chain (MEC) theory to

explore the connections between product attributes, personal values and consumer preferences.

Design/methodology/approach - The theory of means-end chain helps to uncover the underlying reasons why

consumers choose specific products by examining the links between tangibles. There is a conceptual model

developed with the help of MEC. The conceptual framework comprises product information and marketing

communication, which constitute the sensory and non-sensory aspects of consumption behaviour, and it is

empirically tested by CB-SEM technique. QR code usefulness and loyalty are treated as mediators to evaluate

shopping behaviour to purchase EVOO.

Findings - The study has used MEC theory and has extended this theory. This study found that there is a

profound impact of technology (QR code) on the buying behaviour of EVOO for the Italian customers. This

study has also found that product information and product communication play a critical role towards shopping

behaviour of Italian consumers regarding EVOO related products.

Research limitations/implications - Innovation and technology adoption, especially the use of QR codes in

understanding product features, has been an attractive area for research exploration. This could include details

about the product's origin, production methods and nutritional information. Such technology and innovation can change the business process management landscape of food-product distribution process. Not many studies are

available which examine customers' interest and shopping behaviour using QR codes, especially in the context

of EVOO. Thus, this research study has a profound impact on the Italian and other European market.

Originality/value - In the Italian market, EVOO is more than just a product, it is a symbol of tradition, quality

and cultural heritage. EVOO is not just a condiment, it is an essential ingredient that contributes to the overall

flavour of dishes. This study explores the usage of QR code for EVOO related products. This is a unique study as

there are a very few research studies available in this area of business process management and technology usage

related to EVOO products. Moreover, this research study adds values to the body of literature of business process

management, technology usage, innovation and food technology. Thus, this study is unique and adds value to the

existing literature.},

abstract = {Purpose



This study aims to examine how an organization's innovation capability could influence research and development (R&D) performance. It also investigates if industry-academic knowledge transfer has a moderating relationship between organizational innovation capability and exploration and exploitative innovation in improving the R&D performance of the organizations.

Design/methodology/approach



Based on the literature and dynamic capability view, a conceptual model was developed and then validated using the partial least squares-structural equation modeling technique considering 387 responses from academicians and industry personnel.

Findings



The study found that industry-academic knowledge transfer has a significant moderating impact toward improving innovation capability, organizations' R&D performance and exploration innovation. However, it has an insignificant moderating impact on improving innovation capability and exploitative innovation.

Practical implications



Organizational innovation capability is characterized by both exploratory and exploitative innovation. Both types of innovation support the R&D performance of an organization. Also, organizations that closely work with academic institutions could gain significant R&D knowledge from academic expertise. This study provides food for thought for the academic community as well as industry policymakers.

Originality/value



There are significant opportunities for academic institutions to gain practical knowledge from industry which can help them to accelerate their R&D activities. However, transferring knowledge between industry and academia has challenges related to intellectual property, patents and so on. Not much research has been conducted in this area. Thus, the proposed research model is unique and adds to the existing literature.

abstract = {The sharing economy is primarily a socio-economic concept that is built upon organizations sharing resources between each other. It includes sharing a single platform by multiple organizations. These organizations can be rivals competing in the same marketplace. Often, organizations can share their employees, data, and other resources. Although there are multiple benefits in a platform-based sharing economy business model, there are some ethical concerns, too. Limited studies have extensively investigated how adopting a platform-based sharing economy business model could provide both opportunities and challenges impacting the intention of the organizations to adopt this model. From such a perspective, this study aims at an in-depth investigation of employees' perceptions regarding the intention of adopting sharing economy models through which organizations could enjoy various benefits that overcome the risks. With the help of a resource-based view with other theories and the extant literature, a conceptual model has been developed, which later has been validated using the PLS-SEM technique considering 376 responses from different organizations in India. This study has demonstrated how the benefits derived from adopting a platform-based sharing economy business model overcome the risks involved and could motivate organizations to intend to adopt such a business model.},

abstract = {Purpose

This paper aims to examine the evolution of organizational identification (OI) research over the past five decades and its journey through various lenses, such as the collaborative network of authors, organizations and countries. The conceptual and intellectual structure of the construct is analysed via keywords and co-citation pattern mapping.



Design/methodology/approach

OI research is rising in popularity, with 118 papers published in 2019, 168 papers in 2020 and 15 publications till February 2021 in the Scopus database. The Scopus database is used to retrieve 55?years of OI studies published between 1965 and 2021. The free bibliometric tools Biblioshiny and VOSviewer are used to analyse 1,034 journal papers.



Findings

The result showed that R. Van Dick is the most influential author and the USA is the most involved country in OI research. As per the findings, the Journal of Organizational Behaviour published most of OI research and ?corporate social responsibility? and ?organizational commitment? seem to be the most used keywords alongside OI.



Research limitations/implications

This study will be highly beneficial to OI researchers making their understanding about the construct better. It will also encourage social psychologists to understand the construct utility in workplace social welfare programmes. The research could also help governments and funding bodies to evaluate grant requests. Furthermore, researchers from countries with the lowest proportion of OI studies would be encouraged to spend more time and effort in this area. It will offer insight into international marketing and how individuals and stakeholders perceive and connect with an organization globally.



Originality/value

To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is one of the important research studies carried out in the domain of OI in the international context. This is also one of the few studies which is spread out across different disciplinary areas including international marketing and management. The success of this paper can open avenues and influence future researchers to study in the OI and related cross-disciplinary areas of international management.},

Guidelines on exposure thresholds to limit thermal effects from these emissions are restricted to humans. However, tissue heating can occur in all living organisms that are exposed. In addition, exposure at millimetric frequencies used by 5G may impact surface tissues and organs of plants and small size species. It is also expected that the addition of 5G to existing networks will intensify radiofrequency absorption by living organisms. 



A European Parliament report proposed policy options on the effects of RF-EMF exposure of plants, animals and other living organisms in the context of 5G: funding more research, implementing monitoring networks, accessing more information from operators on antennas and electromagnetic field emissions, and developing compliance studies when antennas are installed. However, there is no evidence on the preferences of relevant stakeholders regarding these policy options. This paper reports the findings of a survey of key European stakeholders' policy option preferences based on the European Parliament's report. It reveals a broad consensus on funding more research on the effects of exposure of plants, animals, and other living organisms to electromagnetic fields. It also highlights the need for deliberation concerning the other policy options that could provide solutions for regulatory authorities, central administrations, the private sector, non-governmental associations and advocates, and academics. Such deliberation would pave the way for effective solutions, focusing on long-term output from funding research, and enabling short-term socially and economically acceptable actions for all parties concerned.},

The outcome of our study proposes a three?step approach unveiling blockchain technologies, supply chain finance strategies and enablers of circular economy contributing to 10R principles. Our study underscores how these cases across the globe can serve as valuable examples to other organisations, encompassing sectors from manufacturing to core?service based such as e?commerce. These sectors involve complex supply chains, and hence, blockchain?enabled supply chain finance strategies can be a solution to foster a circular economy.

Obtaining constitutive relations for general dissipative processes for such systems, which are thermodynamically consistent, can be a challenge. We show how the metriplectic 4-bracket formalism (Morrison and Updike, 2024) achieves this in a straightforward, in fact algorithmic, manner. First, from the noncanonical Hamiltonian formulation for the ideal part of a CHNS system we obtain an appropriate Casimir to serve as the entropy in the metriplectic formalism that describes the dissipation (e.g. viscosity, heat conductivity and diffusion effects). General thermodynamics with the concentration variable and its thermodynamics conjugate, the chemical potential, are included. Having expressions for the Hamiltonian (energy), entropy, and Poisson bracket, we describe a procedure for obtaining a metriplectic 4-bracket that describes thermodynamically consistent dissipative effects. The 4-bracket formalism leads naturally to a general CHNS system that allows for anisotropic surface energy effects. This general CHNS system reduces to cases in the literature, to which we can compare.},

Each variable is computed using an iterative procedure, with the pressure step involving a simple L2-projection. We provide a proof of the convergence of the scheme to the continuous problem under smallness assumptions on the data. This theoretical analysis ensures the reliability of our method in approximating the behavior of the stationary second grade fluid model.

that hinder their actual impact on emissions, such as low rebate rates, the lack of

transparency of the schemes, and the costs for the port authorities, among other factors. Our

article reveals that differentiated schemes can be improved to elicit changes in the shipping

on an ex ante target and on the distribution of the emission index of vessels that call at the

port. From a policy perspective, we highlight how such a transparent process can increase

compliance with the schemes and how surcharges are essential to the provision of attractive

rebates by preserving the financial stability of the port authority.},

This study has used literature from the fields of organization performance, human resources and organization policy (OP), along with the theories of resource-based view (RBV) and dynamic capability view (DCV) to develop a conceptual model. Later, the conceptual model is validated using the structural equation modeling technique. The study used a survey method with a sample of 311 participants. These participants are employed as human resource managers (HRM) and other supportive workforce at different levels in the organizations.

Findings



The study shows that innovativeness and employee flexibility (EFL) are critical toward organizations' survival during any crisis. Also, the study highlights the importance of OP and LS for the survival of organizations during and after any turbulent condition.

Research limitations/implications



This study provides valuable inputs to the leadership teams of organizations, especially HRM. This research also provides food for thought for policymakers and researchers in the field of organizational performance. This study also contributes to the overall body of literature on organization analysis and extends the literature on RBV and DCV.

Originality/value



The study adds value to the overall body of literature on organization performance and capabilities along with human resource management. Few studies have nurtured issues on EFL during turbulent conditions. Also, there are limited studies in the areas of OP such as favorable and unfavorable policies toward employees. Thus, this study can be considered unique. Moreover, the study investigates the moderating role of LS which adds value toward the body of literature on organizational leadership capability.},

abstract = {This study examines the relationship between harmonious CSR and consumer trust in digital advertising. Furthermore, supported by the literature, we address the moderating effect of corporate reputation and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on the association between sustainable branding and consumer trust and propose sustainable branding as the mediator between harmonious CSR and consumer trust. These identified factors are presented in a conceptual framework, specifically focusing on three dimensions of harmonious CSR: education, community engagement, and livelihood initiatives. The relationships are analysed and validated with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), finding that CSR actions favourably impact on sustainable branding, thus enhancing consumer trust in digital advertising. The findings support both academic and practical aspects of CSR and branding research. The study provides insights on the precise mechanisms by which harmonious CSR establishes sustainable branding. Furthermore, it demonstrates that aligning with SDGs is a strategic way to favourably influence sustainable branding on consumer trust in digital advertising.},

This paper presents the results of the SHREC 2024 contest organized to evaluate methods for their recognition of highly similar hand motions using the skeletal spatial coordinate data of both hands. The task is the recognition of 7 motion classes given their spatial coordinates in a frame-by-frame motion. The skeletal data has been captured using a Vicon system and pre-processed into a coordinate system using Blender and Vicon Shogun Post. We created a small, novel dataset with a high variety of durations in frames. This paper shows the results of the contest, showing the techniques created by the 5 research groups on this challenging task and comparing them to our baseline method.},

abstract = {This paper examines the effects of China's monetary policy on global commodity prices over the quarterly period 1996:Q1-2021:Q4. Using a Bayesian Structural VAR model, we evaluate the impact of interest rate shocks (as a price rule) and shocks to the monetary aggregate (M2) (as a quantity rule) on those commodity prices. Our main findings are fourfold. First, a positive interest rate shock has a negative and persistent effect on commodity prices, with beverages and metals commodity prices falling the most in response to such shock. Second, a positive shock to the growth rate of M2 has a strong impact on the prices of non-fuel commodities, agricultural raw materials, and metals. Still, the highly volatile food and fuel (energy) commodity prices are less affected. Third, while both the growth rate of M2 and the interest rate seem relevant macroeconomic stabilizers, the quantity instrument appears more effective than the price instrument in explaining commodity prices. Finally, while interest rate hikes are linked with a persistent rise in world uncertainty, monetary expansions lead to a long-lived fall in this variable. All in all, our study provides new evidence about the impact of China's monetary policy on global commodity prices using a rich dataset and an econometric setup that accounts for uncertainty.},

attitude and behavioral control to use EVs could impact on the purchase intention of electric vehicles with active

abstract = {Purpose

By applying targeted graph algorithms, the method used by the authors enables effective prediction of user interactions and thus fulfils the complex requirements of modern recommender systems. This study sets a new benchmark for multidimensional recommendation strategies and offers a path towards more advanced and user-centric models.



Design/methodology/approach

To improve multidimensional data recommendation systems, multiplex graph structures are useful to capture various types of user interactions. This paper presents a novel framework that uses a graph database to compute and manipulate multiplex graphs. The approach enables flexible dimension management and increases expressive power through a specialised algebra designed for multiplex graph manipulation.



Findings

The authors compare the multiplex graph approach with traditional matrix methods, in particular random walk with restart, and show that the method not only provides deeper insights into user preferences by integrating scores from different layers of the multiplex graph, but also outperforming matrix-based approaches in most configurations. The results highlight the potential of multiplex graphs for developing sophisticated and customised recommender systems that significantly improve both performance and explainability.



Originality/value

The study provides a formal specification of a multiplex graph construction based on interaction and content-based information; and the study also developed an algebra dedicated to multiplex graphs, enabling robust and precise graph manipulations necessary for effective recommendation queries. The authors implement these algebraic operations within the Neo4j graph database system with a thorough analysis and experimentation with three different data sets, benchmarked against traditional matrix-based methods.},
