abstract = {A fractional-step method is proposed and analyzed for solving the incompressible thermal Navier-Stokes equations coupled to the convection-conduction equation for heat transfer with a generalized source term for which the viscosity and thermal conductivity are temperature dependent under the Boussinesq assumption. The proposed method consists of four steps all based on a viscosity-splitting algorithm where the convection and diffusion terms of both velocity and temperature solutions are separated while a viscosity term is kept in the correction step at all times. This procedure preserves the original boundary conditions on the corrected

velocity and it removes any pressure inconsistencies. As a main feature, our method allows the temperature to be transported by a non-divergence-free velocity, in which case we show how 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. The theoretical results are examined by an accuracy test example with known analytical solution and using a benchmark problem of Rayleigh-Bénard convection with temperature-dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity.

We also apply the method for solving a problem of unsteady flow over a heated airfoil. The obtained results demonstrate the convergence, accuracy and applicability of the proposed time viscosity-splitting method.},

abstract = {Semiconductor industry plays a critical role for the global economy. Semiconductor industry provides various necessary technologies such as IoT, AI, modern fabrication technologies and so on to various industries including automotive industry, electronic and communication industry, healthcare industry, construction and building industry, space industry, and so on. However, semiconductor supply chain experiences various supply chain related risks and challenges because of its procedural complexities, global supply chain integrations, government policy and regulations, competitiveness, technological complexities, and so on. Not many studies available which investigated the risk, resilience, and complexities regarding green supply chain adoption by semiconductor industry. In this context, the objective of this study is to examine the risks, resilience, and complexities for managing the green supply chain adoption for higher sustainability in the semiconductor industry. Utilizing the TOE framework (Technology-Organization-Environment) and DCV (Dynamic Capability View), we developed a research model to achieve this purpose. Subsequently, this model was validated through structural equation modelling, involving 356 respondents affiliated with the semiconductor industry. This study highlights that technological risk aspects comprising of technological turbulence and risk, compatibility and complexity, organizational dynamic capabilities, and resilience along with appropriate policy and regulations could help successful adoption of green supply chain management in the semiconductor industry.},

abstract = {Today, the semiconductor industry is integral to the functionality of many critical goods and processes that are highly valued. The increasing demand across various semiconductor-related industries has correspondingly amplified the risks faced by firms within this sector. In this study, we empirically explore the potential of ordered backlogs as a means to mitigate the risks confronting semiconductor firms. Utilizing a dataset comprising publicly traded semiconductor firms in the USA, over a duration from 1998 to 2021, we quantitatively validate our hypotheses. Our findings reveal that a substantial volume of ordered backlogs is indeed correlated to a diminished level of firm risk. However, it is important to note that this risk-mitigating effect is lessened as the marketing and research intensities of these firms escalate. Moreover, we observe that the advantageous impact of ordered backlogs in risk reduction is more subdued in large workforce firms, whereas the presence of a sizable top management team aids in lessening the impact of ordered backlogs on risk. These managerial insights are invaluable in advancing both theoretical understanding and managerial practices within the realm of the semiconductor industry.},

abstract = {Generalized Newtonian fluids are challenging to solve using the standard projection or fractional-step methods which split the diffusion term from the incompressibility constraint during the time integration process. Most of this class numerical methods already suffer from some inconsistencies, even in the Newtonian case, due to unphysical pressure boundary conditions which deteriorate the quality of approximations especially when open boundary conditions are prescribed in the problem under study. The present study proposes an improved viscosity-splitting approach for solving the generalized Newtonian fluids in which the viscosity follows a nonlinear generic rheological law. This method consists of decoupling the convective effects from the incompressibility while keeping a diffusion term in the last step allowing to enforce consistent boundary conditions. We provide a full algorithmic description of the method accounting for both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. To evaluate the computational performance of the proposed viscosity-splitting algorithm, we present numerical results for an example with manufactured exact solution and for the benchmark problems of lid-driven cavity flow and flow past a circular cylinder. We also assess the accuracy of the method for an unsteady flow around an arrangement of two cylinders in tandem and comparisons with results obtained using a monolithic approach reveal good general agreement.},

The study employed the revised DeLone and McLean model and validated it with data from 434 respondents using structural equation modeling. The results validate all the hypotheses derived from the updated DeLone and McLean information system (IS) success model. There exist significant relationships between information quality, system quality, and service quality in the BSCs leading to collaboration quality to achieve net-zero emissions. The study establishes the significant role of collaboration quality which positively impacts usage behavior and organizational satisfaction, mediated by the intention to use.

To address the research gaps, this study used mixed-method research design. In Phase 1, this study focused on the advanced manufacturing context of Italy by surveying 540 managers to develop a multiple regression model and test six different GHRM practices as the hypotheses. In Phase 2, qualitative data analysis was analyzed. Our findings highlighted that GHRM practices connected with awards and compensations did not affect green performance. Conversely, a correlation was observed between achieving green performance and practices such as training, aligning management with the company's strategic environmental goals and objectives, involving managers in the process of defining the goals and objectives, and the green reputation of the company and the managers who can act as environmentally responsible leaders. This study extends social exchange theory and opens new avenues for further research and proposes several practical suggestions for practitioners.},

More specifically, we test whether such facilities positively affect the competitiveness of the ports, which would be an additional incentive to drive the transition to alternative fuels. Using multilevel regressions and propensity score matching on LNG-fueled vessel movements in the Baltic Sea Region in 2019, we found no significant effect of LNG bunkering infrastructure on port competitiveness, measured by port choice probabilities expressed by vessels. Although our findings indicate that ports do not gain a competitive advantage in the short-term, we do not rule out potential gains in the long-term. Policy intervention is desirable in the short-term to maintain incentives for port investments.},

This technology ensures the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information by providing a decentralized and immutable ledger. In our research, we propose an identity and access management system that employs Hyper-ledger Fabric and OAuth 2.0 for improved security and scalability. This combination allows for transparency and immutability of user transactions and minimizes the risk of fraud and unauthorized access. Additionally, Hyper-ledger Fabric's privacy, security, and scalability features enable granular access control to sensitive information, while OAuth 2.0 authorizes only trusted third-party applications to access specific data on the Fabric network. The proposed approach can handle large volumes of data and support multiple applications, thus providing a secure and scalable solution for managing access to the Fabric network. Moreover, our solution employs Role-based access control based on the patient's role, ensuring privacy and confidentiality. Our statistical analysis demonstrates that the proposed approach can efficiently and securely manage patient identity and access, potentially transforming the healthcare industry by enhancing data interoperability, reducing fraud and errors, and improving patient privacy and security. Furthermore, our solution can facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements such as HIPAA and GDPR.},

If there is a consistent marketing strategy and consistent messaging, brand identity remains consistent, which helps in improving sales management and generating better revenue for the brand. In this digital era, there are various digital marketing tools and capabilities to improve brand identity, which help in establishing close association with customers to influence their purchasing decisions. However, we have limited understanding of the antecedents of brand identity in the digital era, and how the moderating role of consumer belief in brands could influence their purchasing decision making process. In this context, this study aims to determine the antecedents of brand identity in the digital era, and to examine if there is any moderating impact of consumer belief in brand (CBB) on consumer purchase decision (CPD). Based on the resource-based view and social identity theory, a theoretical model has been developed. Following the survey responses of representatives from 302 organizations/brands, the covariance-based structural equation modelling validates our model. Our analysis affirms that e-WOM, digital infrastructure, skilled manpower, and digital marketing capability positively impact on developing brand identity, which influences sales strategy differently in different situation to influence CPD, where CBB plays a moderating role. The study results have been derived by analyzing the inputs of the respondents based out of India which invited external validity issue and it has been considered as one of the limitations of this study.},

journal = {Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development},

abstract = {Purpose - This study aims at assessing entrepreneurial business performance (EBP) from dynamic capability

(DC) and technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework perspectives, taking support from

crowdfunding.

Design/methodology/approach - With the inputs from the literature, supported by TOE framework and

the dynamic capability view (DCV), a model has been proposed. This model has been tested by the factor-based

partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique through a survey and quantifying the

responses of 406 respondents on a five-point Likert scale has been used.

Findings - The study has found that crowdfunding support (CFS) has an effective influence on the

improvement of EBP. Also, the DC supports to improve the EBP. Environmental dynamism (END) has also a

critical role in impacting business performance.

Research limitations/implications - Crowdfunding involves investors who have a similar interest in the

business, close friends, family members, venture capitalists, investment groups, etc. Thus, the proposed model

can be used by these stakeholders for investment purposes as well as for improving EBP. This study is a cross

sectional research work which has limitations. Moreover, the sample size of this project is limited and did not

include global respondents, Thus, the findings of this study cannot be generalizable which is another limitation

of this study.

Practical implications - Crowdfunding involves investors who have a similar interest in the business, such

as close friends, family members, venture capitalists, investment groups, etc. Thus, the proposed model can be

used by these stakeholders for investment purposes as well as for improving EBP. The study can help

policymakers understand the importance of crowdfunding in promoting entrepreneurship activities in a

region, which helps in the economic development of that region.

Originality/value - This research work enriches the extant literature in the fields of crowdfunding and

investment, DC and entrepreneurship. Not many studies have dealt with the issues of CFS for the improvement

of EBP. Hence, this study may be considered novel. Moreover, the proposed research framework related to

crowdfunding possesses a high predictive power. This makes the study unique.},

abstract = {In this work, we construct a structure-preserving Galerkin reduced-order model for the

resolution of parametric cross-diffusion systems. Cross-diffusion systems are often used to model the

evolution of the concentrations or volumic fractions of mixtures composed of different species, and can

also be used in population dynamics (as for instance in the SKT system). These systems often read

as nonlinear degenerated parabolic partial differential equations, the numerical resolutions of which

are highly expensive from a computational point of view. We are interested here in cross-diffusion

systems which exhibit a so-called entropic structure, in the sense that they can be formally written as

gradient flows of a certain entropy functional which is actually a Lyapunov functional of the system.

In this work, we propose a new reduced-order modelling method, based on a reduced basis paradigm,

for the resolution of parameter-dependent cross-diffusion systems. Our method preserves, at the level

of the reduced-order model, the main mathematical properties of the continuous solution, namely

mass conservation, non-negativeness, preservation of the volume-filling property and entropy-entropy

dissipation relationship. The theoretical advantages of our approach are illustrated by several numerical

experiments.},

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.},

abstract = {There is an unprecedent exposure of living organisms to mobile communications radio-frequency electromagnetic field emissions. 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.},

Despite the widespread deployment of these technologies and their potential health implications, there is a limited understanding in IS literature on why countries adopt varying thresholds for radiation regulation. Our study, analyzing data from 124 countries, uncovered an inverted U-shaped relationship between digital literacy and the rigidity of radiation regulation. This finding reveals that nations with lower digital literacy levels tend to enforce stricter regulations, whereas those with higher literacy levels adopt more relaxed policies. By highlighting how digital literacy, a critical aspect of the digital divide, significantly influences regulatory frameworks in telecommunications, this study contributes to filling the gap in IS research. This under- scores the necessity of informed and transparent regulatory decision making, especially in countries with diverse levels of digital literacy. Calling for a multidisciplinary approach to policy formulation, our work enriches the broader discourse in IS research, underlining the pivotal role of digital literacy in shaping both the access and regulatory landscapes of emerging technologies.},

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.},

related natural disasters. However, the lack of sub?daily precipitation observations in this region has hindered

our understanding of rainstorm?related hazards and their societal impacts. To address this data gap, a new

approach is devised to estimate sub?daily precipitation in QTP using daily precipitation data and geographical

information. The approach involves establishing a statistical relationship between daily and sub?daily

precipitation based on data from 102 observation sites. This process results in a set of functions with six

associated parameters. These parameters are then modeled using local geographical and climatic information

through a machine learning algorithm called support vector regression. The results indicated that the temporal

scaling characteristics of sub?daily precipitation can be accurately described using a logarithmic function. The

uncertainty of the estimates is quantified using the coefficient of variance and coefficient of skewness, which are

estimated using a logarithmic and linear curve, respectively. Additionally, the six parameters are found to be

closely linked to geographical conditions, enabling the creation of a 1?km parameters data set. This data set can

be utilized to quantitatively describe the probabilistic distribution and extract key information about maximum

precipitation duration (from 1 to 12 hr). Overall, the findings suggest that the generated parameters data set

holds significant potential for various applications, including risk analysis, forecasting, and early warning for

rainstorm?related natural disasters in QTP. The innovative method developed in this study proves to be an

effective approach for estimating sub?daily precipitation and assessing its uncertainty in ungauged regions},

abstract = {The irregularity of the time interval between observations in and across the stream is a key factor that leads to a drop in performance when classical machine learning or deep learning models are used for a downstream task requiring multivariate time series. Indeed, irregular multivariate time series not only increase the rate of missing values but also lead to data sparsity, which consequently makes the data almost unleverageable and/or ineffective for models. To tackle this scorching challenge, most of the pioneering approaches apply imputation or interpolation in their core, which might lead to embedding data with noise. To especially address this irregular multivariate time series issue, we introduce, in this paper, a new deep neural network model called ALignment-driven Neural Network. The innovative idea of our model is to transform the irregular multivariate time series into pseudo-aligned (or pseudo-regular) latent values. The latter are shown as a matrix, where the coefficients are the latent values of each feature at user-defined reference time points that are evenly spaced. They are obtained through a duplication process driven by an exponential decay mechanism. The obtained output is then passed to a Recurrent Neural Network model, which is undoubtedly the must-use model for regular time series data. To show that our model added value, we looked at the Intensive Care Unit mortality prediction task. In this unit, the physiological measurements used to make decisions have a problem with time irregularity. Leveraging the publicly available MIMIC-III, we compare the performance of our model to that of flagship models. In addition, we also performed extensive ablation studies to highlight the importance of specific components in our model. Interestingly enough, whenever data is collected 24 and 48 h after a patient's admission, we outperform our pioneering competitors, i.e., +1.1% and +1.5% for the AUC score, +2.3% and for the AUPRC score and +0.6% and +1.7%

 for the F1-score.},

also form part of this interaction. By implication, a sociomaterial perspective lacking an affective

dimension offers an incomplete conceptualisation of information systems. In response, an

affectively-informed negative ontology encourages IS researchers to extend their focus beyond the

visible, to encompass how actors' receptiveness towards material objects (discourses, technologies)

is shaped by deep, affectively-derived motivations of which they are not focally aware, but

which nonetheless acquire agency in contributing to a sociomaterial outcome. A central argument,

and illustrative empirical vignette, illustrate how the concepts of sociomateriality, affect,

and negative ontology combine to offer researchers an enhanced understanding of relational

agency. A discussion follows, exploring some initial ontological, epistemological and methodological

implications of an affectively-informed negative ontology for IS research.},

In the latter model, we show that a Hurst exponent close to 1/2 can lead to a very high informativeness of the time series, because of the stationarity mechanism 	extcolor{red}{induced by the Lamperti transform. This result contrasts with the zero information of the fractional Brownian motion for the same value of the Hurst exponent.} In addition, we introduce a multiscale method to get a deeper interpretation of the entropy and of the market information, depending on the size of the information set.

abstract = {The unprecedented exposure of radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) to humans from mobile communications raises serious public concern about the possibility of unexpected adverse health effects and has stimulated authorities to adopt precautionary exposure limits. These limits are distinctly different across countries,

and the causes of these differences are unclear from the literature. This article is the

first empirical analysis on the determinants of RF-EMF exposure legislation, using a novel cross-sectional database of 164 countries worldwide. The analysis shows that decentralization and mobile competition in countries with low mobile network deployment tend to promote more stringent RF-EMF exposure limits across the dataset with 164 countries. In more decentralized countries, the regions had a greater influence on national legislation and could accommodate local demands with the advent of mobile technology in the 2000s. In contrast, decentralization and mobile competition in countries

with high levels of mobile network deployment tend to relax RF-EMF exposure limits in the sample of 61 countries with fifth-generation (5G) technology. Indeed, restrictive RF-EMF exposure limits are constraining 5G deployment in a context of the widespread adoption of mobile-broadband technologies. These results should be useful for policymakers and mobile operators alike to anticipate the outcome of legislation in countries that have yet to introduce 5G technology. The results should also be

useful when reviewing policies and strategies for the implementation of the upcoming 6G technology in frequency bands that will be increasingly higher (above 6 GHz up to THz for very local usage), and hence where the health effects on humans are less well studied.},

CEL can help achieve SDGs by redesigning different contextual factors to help promote various policy initiatives. In this vein, this study identifies the factors which could improve the business and social performance of the organizations helping to achieve SDGs through an amalgam of theoretical lenses, particularly the dynamic capability view. Based on extant literature, we developed, validated, and applied a theoretical model using the partial least square structural equation modeling technique on data collected from 327 respondents from different organizations. The study found that CEL capability significantly and positively impacts the various organizational entities and resources, which in turn affects the business and social performance of the organizations. Theoretical and managerial implications of the findings are also discussed.},

culture can have a profound impact on the organizational capabilities underlying product and process innovation. While there is a relatively developed body of literature on the effect of data driven culture on organizational 

performance, there is virtually no study that has examined how Industry 4.0 influences the data driven culture of 

organizations and how in its turn such culture influences both product and process innovation. Furthermore, the 

role of organizational data driven culture has seldom been examined in relation to organizational sustainability 

performance. Against this backdrop, the aim of this study is to examine the role of emerging Industry 4.0 

technologies on the data driven culture of organizations and analyze if and how such data driven culture influences organizational performance ultimately translating into competitive advantage. By leveraging the 

Resource Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities theory, we developed a theoretical model and tested it 

using a PLS-SEM approach on a sample of 416 organizations. We found that adoption of industry 4.0 technologies 

influences organizational performance by improving social, competitive, and financial performance of the organizations relying on data driven culture and improved innovative capabilitie},

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 = {In a changing business environment, firms encounter significant challenges to fulfill sustainable development goals. However, firms can make substantial progress by adopting regenerative approaches grounded in circular economy principles, enabling them to effectively pursue sustainable development objectives such as responsible production and consumption (goal 12), climate action (goal 13), and the preservation of life on land (goal 15). However, there is a scarcity of research studies that offer guidance to top supply chain (SC) executives, aiming to enhance their environmental focus and enhance the SC viability through regenerative SC practices. This study employed the philosophical perspective of the natural resource-based view. Advancing the SC literature, it tested a theoretical model to investigate the relationship between the political skills and SC analytics skills of top SC executives and the environmental orientation of SCs. Additionally, it examined the direct and indirect (via regenerative SC) relationships between a firm's environmental orientation and SC viability. This study also tested the moderating role of a firm's artificial intelligence-driven big data analytics culture in these relationships. Applying a mixed-methods approach, the study derived a theoretical model to link the aforementioned constructs. Apart from a qualitative investigation, data were also collected through a questionnaire-based survey from 375 samples. The results indicated that the relationship between the political skills and SC analytics skills of top SC executives toward the environmental orientation of SCs is significant. Furthermore, they indicated that a firm's environmental orientation is positively related to a regenerative SC, which in turn enhances SC viability. The findings also provided evidence that a firm's AI-driven big data analytics culture enhances the strength of these relationships. The current study extends the knowledge base by integrating the two unique concepts of digitalization and circular economy.},

abstract = {Rapid industrialization and global supply chains have magnified industrial activities' carbon footprint, resulting in environmental hazards. Several countries have magnified their efforts to reach carbon neutrality goals. The increased attention to carbon-neutral goals has been enabled by United Nations (UN) calls for a carbon-neutral economy. In this context, supply chains will have greater responsibilities to reduce the network's carbon footprint. To achieve carbon neutrality goals, decision-makers must be well-informed and facilitated with suitable theoretical frameworks. In literature, the adoption of intelligent technologies is suggested to construct efficient and smart supply chains. However, there are uncertainties regarding the impact of this transformation on the carbon neutrality goal. The present study caters to the uncertainties by discussing its potential impact on carbon neutrality goals and how to use adopted technologies to achieve the same. A list of 11 potential strategies is identified and modelled to provide a strategic roadmap for smart supply chains' adoption. The proposed framework aims to facilitate carbon neutrality goals. The findings indicate that decision-makers must pay significant attention to circular economy practices. Additionally, green transportation is an impactful area with significant potential to support carbon neutrality goals. Critical insights have been extracted regarding stakeholders' training and process innovation. The study findings can help decision-makers achieve carbon neutrality goals.},

Then, it also examines the effect of commitment contracts and innovation on the performance of the FSC. The research model is developed using behavioural economics concepts and collaborative theory. Furthermore, five research hypotheses are tested using samples from food manufacturers and other related supply chain partners. Covariance-based structural equation modelling technique is used in this study, and necessary tests were done to ensure the high quality of findings. Buyer-supplier partnerships demonstrate both direct and indirect effects on the CE performance in FSC. The findings supported the serial mediation effect wherein buyer-supplier partnerships are found to exert their impact on the CE in FSC through commitment contracts and innovation performance in a successive way. The uniqueness of this study lies in the use of behavioural economics concepts to enhance CE performance. The study advances knowledge of commitment contracts by indicating whether and how it connects to CE performance results.},

abstract = {Although the circular economy is commonly used among industries in developing countries to achieve carbon neutrality targets, its impact on social sustainability must be clarified. Stakeholders (for instance, community stakeholders) have been observed to be unaware of the focal firm's circular supply chain activities. Because this gap has not been generally reflected in the literature, it is critical to perform an empirical study to bridge the gap between theory and practice. The goal of this research was to determine whether new technologies such as big data and predictive analytics might influence an organization's propensity to share information related to circular economy practices with stakeholders as well as to increase connectivity with those stakeholders in the Industry 4.0 era. We also investigated whether these actions could increase stakeholder trust and engagement and social sustainability as a result. We tested our theoretical model using samples from food supply chain firms in South Africa. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using WarpPLS 7.0 software. The findings show that firms that deploy big data and predictive analytics are more likely to share information related to the circular economy with stakeholders and that these firms are also well-connected with those stakeholders, resulting in increased trust and engagement. This, in turn, contributes to the social sustainability of supply chains. Our research has made a significant contribution by encouraging a theoretical debate regarding the willingness to share information regarding the circular economy and the social sustainability of the supply chain.},

The method belongs to a class of viscosity-splitting procedures and it consists of separating the convection term and incompressibility constraint into two time steps. Unlike the conventional projection methods, the viscosity is not dropped in the last step allowing to enforce the full original boundary conditions on the end-of-step velocity which eliminates any concerns about the numerical boundary layers. We carry out a rigorous error analysis and provide a full first-order error estimate for both the velocity and pressure solutions in the relevant norms. Numerical results are presented for two test examples of non-

Newtonian fluid flows to demonstrate the theoretical analysis and confirm the reliability of this viscosity-splitting scheme.},

abstract = {In recent in vitro experiments on co-culture between breast tumour spheroids and activated immune cells, it was observed that the introduction of the stress hormone cortisol

resulted in a decreased immune cell infiltration into the spheroids. Moreover, the presence of cortisol deregulated the normal levels of the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines IFN-?

and IL-10. We present an individual-based model to explore the interaction dynamics between tumour and immune cells under psychological stress conditions. With our model,

we explore the processes underlying the emergence of different levels of immune infiltration,

with particular focus on the biological mechanisms regulated by IFN-? and IL-10. The set-up of numerical simulations is defined to mimic the scenarios considered in the experimental

study. Similarly to the experimental quantitative analysis, we compute a score that quantifies the level of immune cell infiltration into the tumour. The results of numerical simulations indicate that the motility of immune cells, their capability to infiltrate through

tumour cells, their growth rate and the interplay between these cell parameters can affect the level of immune cell infiltration in different ways. Ultimately, numerical simulations

of this model support a deeper understanding of the impact of biological stress-induced mechanisms on immune infiltration.},
