Information Systems (IS) architects to continuously refine data models and meticulously select storage and
management options that align with requirements. While existing solutions focus on data model transformation,
none offer guidance in selecting the most suitable data model for a given use case. In this context, we propose
DaMoOp, an automated approach for leading data model selection process. DaMoOp starts from a conceptual
model and associated use case comprising queries, settings and infrastructure constraints, to generate relevant
logical data models. A cost model, considering environmental, financial, and temporal factors, facilitates
comparison and selection of the most suitable data model. Our cost model incorporates both data model and
queries costs. Additionally, we suggest a data model selection process that enhances the ability to choose the
optimal data model(s) for a specific use case, while also adapting to rapidly evolving use cases. We provide a
strategic optimization approach designed to identify the most cost-efficient and stable data model as use case
scenarios evolve. Moreover, we offer a simulation tool for the entire process, which enables visualizing the
impact of use case variations on data model costs, thus empowering IS architects to make informed decisions},

We establish the local existence and uniqueness of solutions in the Sobolev space $H^m$, for $m geq 3$ . We notice that in the incompressible case, the best known existence result requires $m geq 5$, unless specific thermodynamic conditions are satisfied (their effect is to reduce the high nonlinearity of the model), in which case $m geq 3$ suffices.
Finally, we analyze the linearized system around the constant state and establish the global well-posedness of the solution, as well as its exponential decay in time toward the steady state. In addition, we prove the persistence of regularity for the solution.},

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

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.},

However, international staple food markets are increasingly exposed to complex risks, including intensified risk contagion and increasing external uncertainties. This paper systematically investigates risk spillovers in global staple food markets and explores the key determinants of these spillover effects, combining innovative decomposition-reconstruction techniques, risk connectedness analysis, and random forest models. The findings reveal that short-term components exhibit the highest volatility, with futures components generally more volatile than spot components. Further analysis identifies two main risk transmission patterns, namely, cross-grain and cross-timescale transmission, and clarifies the distinct roles of each component in various net risk spillover networks. Furthermore, price drivers, external uncertainties, and core supply-demand indicators significantly influence these spillover effects, with the heterogeneous importance of varying factors in explaining different risk spillovers. This study provides valuable information on the risk dynamics of staple food markets, offers evidence-based guidance to policymakers and market participants to improve risk warning and mitigation efforts, and supports the stabilization of international food markets and the protection of global food security.},

the gyrokinetic formalism), while MEGA is an MHD-Drift-Kinetic code (the bulk
plasma is represented by MHD equations, while the EP species is treated using the
drift-kinetic formalism, with the possibility of an ad-hoc gyroaveraging); ORB5
is a global electromagnetic gyrokinetic code (both bulk and EP species are treated
using the gyrokinetic formalism); XTOR-K is a non-linear kinetic-MHD code (the
bulk plasma is described by a set of non-linear resistive two-fluid MHD equations,
extended to include kinetic effects of multiple ion species with a fully kinetic PIC
module). The equilibrium of the so-called NLED-AUG reference case, in its version
with peaked off-axis EP density profile, has been used, while considering a |n| = 1
perturbation. This non-linear benchmark is the natural continuation of the linear
benchmark already considered in the recent past, and represent a first-ever code
comparison in the deep non-linear stage. In the present study fluid non-linearities
are omitted, and the focus will be on comparing wave-particle interactions effects
across codes. Characteristics of the non-linear saturation of the mode, self-consist-
ent modification to the EP density profile and other features are compared among

In the present study, to resolve these features in reactive flows, we consider the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with temperature-dependent viscosity for the velocity and pressure coupled with a double system of reaction-advection-diffusion equations for the temperature and the degree of conversion. The reactions in this coupled system are assumed to be generated using the Arrhenius activation energy and cross diffusion coefficients are influenced by both the temperature and degree of conversion. We analyze the solvability of the proposed model and prove existence of the weak solution using a Galerkin approach combined with appropriate compactness arguments. The uniqueness of the solution is also achieved under additional assumptions on the problem data. In the current work, we also introduce a time-marching scheme for the numerical approximation of the continuous problem and prove the unconditional stability with respect to the time step.

highlighting the impact of human activity pressure on mangrove blue carbon (BC). We use a Bayesian
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.

The dynamic capabilities (DCs) of family firms help to respond to dynamic business environments. Presently, few studies have examined how DCs of family firms could achieve SDGs, especially in the context of economic, social and environmental performance. As such, the present research tries to investigate how DCs of family firms could help to achieve better SDG performance with the mediating role of the firms' sustainable performance.
Design/methodology/approach
Sustainable development goals (SDGs) are designed to achieve a more sustainable and better future for everyone on the planet. Different types of firms are expected to initiate efforts to contribute to these SDGs. Family businesses are key actors in this regard. With the dynamic capability view (DCV) as well as with the knowledge of stakeholder theory as well as with the support of extant literature, a model was prepared that was tested by CB-SEM technique to analyze the responses of 317 respondents.
Findings
This research found that the DCs of these businesses have a significant impact on their SDG performance. The study highlights that family firms are lagging in their reconfiguring capabilities regarding environmental and social performance, so it is a challenging task for family firms to improve on this aspect.
Research limitations/implications
This study deals with cross-sectional data. Therefore, its findings may not be generalizable. Additionally, this study does not address rival or alternative models, which could be seen as a limitation. Furthermore, because the analysis is based on feedback collected from a single geographic region, they may not be universally applicable to other areas.
Originality/value
This study has contributed to the prevailing body of knowledge on family business, sustainable development, firm performance, as well as dynamic resources. The highlights of this study can be used by the entrepreneurs, policymakers, as well as future researchers to further extend this study. Further, this study is also unique as it establishes the importance of the sustainable performance of family businesses with dynamic resources and could also be related to disruptive innovation for family businesses to achieve sustainable performance and to meet the sustainable development goals.},

Our findings demonstrate that these agreements significantly attenuate US monetary policy spillovers to China. Mechanistically, we show that bilateral swaps promote Chinese exports to trading partner countries, thereby mitigating the negative consequences of US monetary policy. Notably, agreements with emerging economies exhibit a stronger mitigating effect than those with advanced economies. These results offer policymakers valuable insights for managing international monetary policy spillovers.},

abstract = {One key element distinguishing family firms from non-family firms is the role of the family's religious beliefs, with growing attention on understanding the fit between religion and family in shaping a business's ethical conduct. 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},

We considered the overall satisfaction of employees as a moderator and empirically tested the relationships. The theoretical model was conceptualised by keeping the dynamic capability view in mind. 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.},

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.},

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.},

abstract = {Purpose - The consumption of no-and low-alcohol (NoLo) wines has emerged as a growing trend among Italian
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.},

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. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers seeking to deepen their understanding of evidential clustering.},

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.},

given that 57% of Malaysians aged 60 and above are active Internet users. The current study utilized an extended technology
acceptance model and the stimulus organism response framework to examine the cognitive-affective dichotomy of usage influence. The respondents were initially selected through purposive sampling and further screened using filter questions to ensure
alignment with the study objectives, resulting in data collected from 392 elderly individuals across various demographic regions of
Malaysia. The analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and SmartPLS. The results indicated
that cognitive factors (subjective norm, facilitating conditions, and app characteristics) positively impacted the affective components (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use), which, in turn, enhanced consumers' attitudes toward using these applications. Furthermore, openness to change and gender were observed to moderate the relationship between affective and
conative responses (word of mouth and behavioral intention). The study provides new insights into the aging population on

abstract = {The rise of growth hacking, fuelled by big data analytics, poses a challenge for scholars and executives alike, with
limited research at their intersection. This article aims to fill the knowledge gap by focusing on the integration of
big data analytics and growth hacking. Extant theory suggests that incorporating big data cultivates marketing
ambidexterity, especially when moderated by environmental dynamism. The synergistic interplay between big
data analytics and marketing ambidexterity is postulated to enhance firm marketing capabilities, manifesting
itself as growth hacking. The present study develops a corresponding scale on growth hacking and empirically
validates the proposed theoretical framework. Data have been collected from businesses that have used growth
hacking tactics, regardless of their timeframe or resource investment, in two phases and adhering to requisite
sampling size and techniques. The relationships between all variables were found to be significant except the
impact of firm marketing capabilities on customer regain and maintenance. Environmental dynamism was found
to moderate significantly big data analytics and marketing ambidexterity. This study enriches the growth
hacking literature by shedding light on the intricate relationship between big data analytics and strategic
business growth. The findings are also significant to industry, as they arm executives with new and practicable
knowledge towards harnessing growth hacking strategies and securing a competitive edge.},

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 = {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.},

abstract = {The relationship between knowledge management (KM) and organization performance has been thoroughly studied. However,
there is still a research gap to determine other factors that could influence this relationship. One significant component is innovation,
and we need to consider the size and age of the organization to determine how innovation influences organizational resilience
(OR). A few studies discussed innovation and knowledge management; however, they usually focus on large firms. This
study is based on MSMEs in India. In this study, we analyzed how innovation can link between KM and OR. We examined three
components of KM in our research: knowledge generation (KG), knowledge transfer (KT), and knowledge acquisition (KA). We
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
KM and OR.},

abstract = {We propose a fractional-step method for the numerical solution of unsteady thermal convection in non-Newtonian fluids with temperature-dependent physical parameters. The proposed method is based on a viscosity-splitting approach, and it consists of four uncoupled steps where
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.},

abstract = {Ensuring safety in the mining industry is a critical concern for a nation's industrial advancement. Industry 4.0, characterized by the integration of advanced technologies, is at the forefront of efforts to enhance mining practices. Coal seams contain a range of
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.},

We found that temporal features can be an important source of information resulting in an increase in the overall model accuracy. Finally, we introduce a new technique for the calibration of predicted probabilities based on Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE). This
calibration technique can be applied to very general calibration functions such as the sigmoid function and the Kumaraswamy function, which includes the identity as a particular case. We show that stacking the SURE calibration technique with the classical Platt method can
improve the calibration 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.},

Fusion 63 104002). 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.},

Through a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) involving an urban sample from the French population, our findings indicate a significant preference for funding research focused on human health compared to plant health, with willingness to pay (WTP) estimates for human health nearly twice as high. Nonetheless, the considerable support for plant health research underscores the importance of addressing both human and environmental aspects in policy formulation. This study contributes to the growing DS dialogue by demonstrating how cognitive, emotional, and moral perceptions shape public backing for research on mobile radiation. These findings enhance our understanding of how public attitudes influence the adoption and regulation of green technologies in urban environments. Our research provides insights for IS researchers and policymakers, advocating for balanced funding approaches and the integration of cognitive, emotional, and ethical factors into policy frameworks to foster effective public engagement and regulatory policies.},

abstract = {The paper explores the evolving phenomenon of Web3 platforms. By focusing on two prominent metaverse platforms, Decentraland and The Sandbox, we analyze the interplay between three critical components: platform specific NFTs (non-fungible tokens), native cryptocurrencies, and social media discourse surrounding these platforms. We integrate token price data, NFT transaction information from OpenSea, and social media activity from X to perform a wavelet coherence analysis, uncovering the dynamic relationships among these elements over time. Our findings reveal that the NFT market exerts a more substantial influence on the performance of decentralized metaverse platforms than the cryptocurrency market. Social media discussions generate significant buzz and sentiment, serving as a catalyst that amplifies platform visibility and engagement. This study contributes to platform research by addressing the question of user adoption within the novel Web3 context. We emphasize the importance for Web3 platform builders to develop business models that provide tangible utility to NFTs, as this strategy can enhance user engagement and platform success.},

abstract = {Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provide absolute positioning for a wide range of applications. However, their performance can be severely degraded due to multipath and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) receptions caused by surrounding environments, particularly in urban canyons. The traditional statistic-based mitigation methods encounter bottlenecks since the errors from these local effects are difficult to model accurately using existing distributions. To handle this issue, this paper proposes a deep-learning framework to estimate the additional distances of the range measurements caused by NLOS receptions. The customized architecture involves four main modules: a non-linear data transformation to rescale the data, a channel attention mechanism to weigh different features, a generative Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) network to augment the feature map, and an inception module to enhance the feature extraction from a multi-hierarchical level. The model was trained and tested with real urban GNSS data, which shows promising results, achieving an RMSE of 6.76 m and a 75% prediction error of 0.71 m, demonstrating higher accuracy than the current state-of-the-art.},

note = {Dans un contexte économique sans précédent marqué par une pandémie mondiale, l'entrelacement complexe du discours sur le greenwashing à l'ère des fake news s'est intégré au tissu de la durabilité d'entreprise, remodelant les perceptions des managers et mettant à l'épreuve leur attitude face aux décisions durables. À travers une étude qualitative en deux phases, cette recherche examine l'impact du discours sur le greenwashing sur les perceptions et attitudes des managers vis-à-vis de la durabilité en France après la pandémie. Les résultats révèlent une déconnexion entre le discours externe sur le greenwashing et l'état d'esprit des managers, ces derniers associant souvent les accusations de greenwashing aux « fake news ». De plus, l'étude montre que la pandémie a déplacé l'attention vers les préoccupations financières, reléguant la durabilité au second plan dans la prise de décision stratégique et modifiant ainsi le paysage de la responsabilité d'entreprise. En allant au-delà du cadre habituel centré sur les consommateurs et les clients, cette étude vise à combler un vide critique dans la recherche sur le greenwashing en examinant son impact sur différents acteurs. À travers cette analyse, nous cherchons à contribuer aux recherches sur le discours du greenwashing en offrant une compréhension plus approfondie des complexités et des nuances entourant les perceptions managériales de ce discours et des initiatives de durabilité dans une époque marquée par des défis sans précédent.},
