abstract = {It was pointed out in Shaw et al. (2000) that the boundary conditions satisfied by the

polarization play an important role in the description of the thin-limit of ferroelectric materials.

In this work we confirm the importance of this choice. In the present work, we consider the

limiting process as the thickness ? of a thin cylinder of R3 goes to 0, and when the polarization

satisfies two different boundary conditions. The first type of boundary conditions leads to an in-

plane model or 2?? 2? configuration while the second one leads to an (in-plane)-(out-of-plane)

model for the displacement and the polarization namely a 2?? 3? configuration. Moreover, the

thin-limit process in both cases induces a change of the Lamé coefficients in the displacement

equation, the coupling coefficient between the displacement and polarization equations, the

double wells potential of the polarization together to a new contribution in the equation of the

out-of-plane component of the polarization for the 2?? 3? model. The techniques used rely on

a rescaling method that penalizes the out-of-plane variable. Uniform bounds with respect to ?

are established, compactness techniques are employed, and the limits of the penalized terms

are identified.},

abstract = {Propagation problems of reaction fronts in viscous fluids are crucial in many industrial and chemical engineering processes. The interactions between the reaction properties and the fluid dynamics yield a complex and nonlinear model of Navier-Stokes equations for the flow with a strong coupling with two reaction-advection diffusion equations for the temperature and the

degree of conversion. To alleviate difficulties related to the numerical approximation of suchsystems, we propose a fractional-step method to split the problem into several substeps, and based on a viscosity-splitting approach that separates the convective terms from the diffusion

terms during the time integration. A first-order scheme is employed for the time integration of each substep of the proposed fractional-step method. The proposed method also preserves the full original boundary conditions for the velocity which eliminates any potential inconsistencies

on the pressure, and it allows for nonhomogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions

for the temperature and degree of conversion that are physically more appealing. In the present work, we perform an error analysis and provide error estimates for all involved solutions in their relevant norms. A rigorous stability analysis is also carried out in this study and the

proposed method is demonstrated to be consistent and stable with no restrictions on the time step. Numerical results obtained for a problem with known analytical solutions are presented to verify the theoretical analysis and to assess the performance of the proposed method. The method is also implemented for solving a two-dimensional flame-like propagation problem in

viscous fluids. The obtained computational results for both examples support the theoretical expectations for a stable and accurate numerical solver for reactive fluids with Arrhenius activation energy.},

A family firm's behavior is embedded in an institutional context, and it is important to understand how multiple institutional logic shapes a

family firm's values and ethical behavior. While scholars agree on the central significance of family values and religion in shaping family firms' values and ethical behavior, a definitive consensus on the influence of family values and religion in confronting ethical challenges and shaping ethical behavior has yet to be reached. We lack a theory explaining how family,

family business, and religion shape a family firm's ethical conduct. We conducted a qualitative study to investigate the role

of family values and religion in shaping a family firm's ethical conduct. The results reveal four themes, namely (a) ethical

challenges faced by family firms, (b) family values shaping ethical behavior, (c) religion providing a rationale for family firms'

ethical decision-making, and (d) outcomes of ethical decision-making. The principal contribution of our study is clarifying

the role of multiple institutional logics in the form of religion and family in explaining ethical behavior. Our findings sugges that the fit between religion, family, and business as an institution guides decision-making, helps family businesses earn a positive reputation in the community by displaying ethical behavior, and develops a positive workplace climate.},

abstract = {Purpose - This study aims to develop and empirically test a conceptual model to examine harmonious

corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of sports firms that are focused on sports education,

community development and sustainable livelihoods and their effects on organizational citizenship behaviors

(OCBs) and sustainable business excellence (SBE).

Design/methodology/approach - A conceptual model is proposed, which is derived from stakeholder theory

and social identity theory, along with related literature. The conceptual model was validated using mediation and

moderation analysis of the survey data from 384 respondents. PLS-SEM was used to assess the measurement

constructs and to examine the structural path relationships hypothesized in the proposed research framework.

Findings - The proposed model supports the hypotheses that harmonious CSR in sports, communities and

livelihoods nurtures greater OCBs, which improves organizational performance and SBE. Furthermore, it was

found that perceived corporate reputation does not moderate the OCB?performance link, whereas fan

engagement moderates the performance-sustainability relationship. The findings extend stakeholder theory

and social identity theory and they provide practical guidance on optimizing harmonious CSR strategies.

Research limitations/implications - This study has focused on a specific context, limiting the

generalizability of the findings. This provides opportunities for future researchers to explore the applicability

of the findings across different countries, enriching the outcomes with more generalizability. This study

depends on cross-sectional data inviting defects of causality and endogeneity.

Practical implications - There are several practical implications of this study. Sports organizations should

engage their stakeholders in CSR activities that will lead to improvement in business performance. Moreover,

sports organizations could improve their corporate reputation through investing in harmonious CSR activities

for the well-being of society.

Originality/value - To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to be conducted on how

harmonious CSR activities could achieve better sustainable business outcomes for sports organizations by

fostering a culture of social responsibility and thereby improving overall organizational performance. This was

a gap in previous research, which has been duly addressed in this study},

abstract = {Purpose: In this study, we provide a better understanding of the role of leader humility in employee voice by

examining simultaneously the mediating role of intention to share knowledge and the moderating role of

organizational tenure.

Design/methodology: We developed and tested a mediated moderation model. The study hypotheses were tested

with partial least squares structural equation modeling techniques.

Findings: Results from 309 medical representatives supported the study hypotheses, indicating that leader humility

is related to employee voice via intention to share knowledge, and this relationship is stronger for shortertenured

employees than for longer-tenured ones. The study also provides implications for both theory and

practice.

Practical implications: The study provides empirical evidence in support of the positive effect of leader humility on

employee voice. Therefore, we suggest that executive administration should pay particular attention to promoting

humility in leadership to appropriately manage extra-role behavior such as employee voice.

Originality: Recently, leader humility has attracted scholarly attention in organization studies. It is considered a

key antecedent of employees' extra-role behavior and a contextual factor that is associated with many positive

employee and organizational outcomes.},

The samples for the online survey were selected from food supply chain (FSC) firms. Hypothesis testing was performed and findings indicate that lower-order capabilities, such as adaptability, agility, and alignment capabilities, play a critical role in developing dynamic capability, that is, digital technology capability, which helps in achieving superior operational performance. However, innovative lean management capability plays a partial mediation role between digital technology capability and operational performance. A moderating role for continuous learning and overall satisfaction of employees was also supported. FSC firms should consider these factors to enhance operational performance in a dynamic business environment.},

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.},

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.},

Model Averaging-based estimation technique to fit alternative growth theories to 1960-2009 data on a

BC sample of 23 coastal countries and a worldwide (WW) sample of 83 countries. In addition to

having high mangrove blue carbon climate change mitigation potential, a representative country from

the BC sample possesses features commonly associated with developing countries. Moreover, such a

country's natural capital per capita has decreased by more than 50% during the half-century span of

our data and its dependence on natural capital is almost twice as high as that of its WW counterpart.

We find that the neoclassical theory, through income and investment in physical capital, demography,

macroeconomic policy, and natural capital theories perform well in explaining growth in BC

countries. In contrast, investment in physical capital and proxies for the macroeconomic policy and

natural capital theories are found not to be good predictors of growth when using the WW sample of

countries. These results put the finger on the critical problem of existing and potential anthropogenic

pressure that coastal areas with BC are and can be subject to due to land conversion for agriculture,

aquaculture, farming and other run-offs, marine resources exploitation, uncontrolled sewage, marine

resources direct exploitation, and coastal constructions and public works related to natural capital

exports. This admittedly grim picture of the coasts draws attention to at least two policy questions,

namely, whether central governments ought to give local policy makers and communities incentives to

promote nature-based solutions to climate change mitigation and the extent to which international

financial institutions should provide financial support for such initiatives in developing countries.

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

theoretical expectations for an unconditionally stable second-order fractional-step method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.},

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.},

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.

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.},

obtained responses from 336 respondents who took part in this study. We used PLS-SEM

to analyze the data. The findings indicate

that innovation plays an essential role in establishing a relationship between KM and OR. Firm age is found as a significant

moderating factor of this relationship. It implies that, to be robust, older enterprises in MSMEs should prioritize both KM and

innovation. This study can serve as a useful resource for MSMEs that wish to learn more about the role of innovation in utilizing

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

study demonstrates that our developed model outperforms the others, showing superior results.},

abstract = {Meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) presents a large-scale challenge for all countries. 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.},

Nonetheless, the considerable support for plant health research underscores the importance of addressing both human and environmental aspects in policy formulation.

This under- scores the necessity of informed and transparent regulatory decision making, especially in countries with diverse levels of digital literacy.

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.

a Uzawa approach combined with a grad-div stabilizing term. We establish the validity, convergence and a priori estimates for this strategy. A simpler mixed approach is also presented and studied. Numerical tests using a manufactured solution are provided, giving estimates for the accuracy order and sensitivity to the stabilizing coefficient. For more realistic numerical

experiments, we present results for the lid-driven cavity.},

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.},

abstract = {This study adds to the existing literature on the sharing economy by critically evaluating its macro-level impacts and those of technological innovation on sustainability in the United Kingdom, where more than 60% of the population participates in the sharing economy activities. 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.},

abstract = {Interest in social and emotional support chatbots has recently surged, making human - chatbot relationships increasingly common. However, users' subjective experiences with these chatbots often extend beyond simple interactions, reflecting the complex dynamics of liminality and ambivalence. Through a netnographic study of the chatbot Replika, we explore how users experience relational liminality, and control and agency liminality. These dynamics contribute to what we term flowing ambivalence, where users feel both comforted and unsettled, fostering dependency on chatbots despite an awareness of their artificial empathy. Our findings suggest that emotional support chatbots provoke complex emotional states that fluctuate and adapt, underscoring the need for nuanced frameworks to understand how users relate to AI tools.},

abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of the research is to investigate customer shopping behaviour for Italian market, extra

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.},
