abstract = {Piezoelectric bimorph cantilevered beams are frequently employed in energy harvesting applications. The use of macro-fiber composites, which combine piezoelectric fibers with rectangular cross-sections and interdigitated electrodes, has significantly enhanced their performance by enabling operation in the 33-mode of piezoelectricity, thereby increasing conversion efficiency. In this paper, the Timoshenko beam theory is applied to overcome the limitations of the Euler-Bernoulli theory in modeling transverse vibrations of harvesters with low slenderness ratios (length to thickness ratios). The mixture rule formulation is applied to determine the equivalent properties of the macro-fiber composite (MFC) structure. The electromechanical properties of a representative volume element (RVE) bounded by two successive interdigitated electrodes are coupled to the overall electro-elastic dynamic model of the structure using the Timoshenko theory. Frequency response functions for the power and tip vibration displacement of the MFC bimorph beam are determined from the model. Experimental data from the literature are used to validate the improved results predicted by the model developed in this paper. A comparative analysis between the electromechanical responses predicted using a model based on Timoshenko and a model based on Euler-Bernoulli theory is conducted showing agreement, for harvesters with large slenderness ratios and discrepancies of up to 30 % for low slenderness ratios. It has also been shown that the model based on Euler-Bernoulli theory overestimates both the mechanical and the electrical responses for low slenderness ratios as the shear and rotary inertia effects are not negligible in this case.},

abstract = {There has been a recent interest in proposing quantum protocols whose security relies on weaker computational assumptions than their classical counterparts. Importantly to our work, it has been recently shown that public-key encryption (PKE) from one-way functions (OWF) is possible if we consider quantum public keys. Notice that we do not expect classical PKE from OWF given the impossibility results of Impagliazzo and Rudich (STOC'89).



However, the distribution of quantum public keys is a challenging task. Therefore, the main question that motivates our work is if quantum PKE from OWF is possible if we have classical public keys. Such protocols are impossible if ciphertexts are also classical, given the impossibility result of Austrin et al.(CRYPTO'22) of quantum enhanced key-agreement (KA) with classical communication.



In this paper, we focus on black-box separation for PKE with classical public key and quantum ciphertext from OWF under the polynomial compatibility conjecture, first introduced in Austrin et al.. More precisely, we show the separation when the decryption algorithm of the PKE does not query the OWF. We prove our result by extending the techniques of Austrin et al. and we show an attack for KA in an extended classical communication model where the last message in the protocol can be a quantum state.},

abstract = {Purpose

This paper conceptually aims to discuss the dual role of knowledge management (KM) and technological innovation, which brings about innovations, although it can be limited by psychological and emotional ownership.



Design/methodology/approach

This study examines the real impact of the paper on KM and technological innovation in family small to medium enterprises (FSMEs). This is a unique context affected by psychological and emotional ownership. However, COVID-19 has forced FSMEs to consider new strategies and practices to preserve their competitive advantage.



Findings

In this scenario, knowledge exchange, knowledge absorption and technology adoption appear relevant to the innovation process. This study offers a framework for how the duality of KM and technological innovation affects innovation.



Originality/value

Although extant research has explored technological innovation outcomes, a literature review reveals that accumulated studies on the drivers of technological innovation and KM in the context of FSMEs require further inquiry. Family members' emotional ownership may foster KM because identification with organizational goals enhances individuals' willingness to access and share information and stimulates new products and technological development.},

abstract = {Learning anatomy is a complex subject that requires a thorough understanding of 3D structures, posing challenges with traditional teaching methods. Anatomy education often involves the use of cadavers, which can be expensive, time-consuming, and ethically complex. As a result, medical educators need effective ways to engage students and promote learning. Immersive virtual reality (IVR) and serious games (SGs) provide innovative and immersive learning experiences that enhance students' understanding and retention of anatomical concepts and improve the effectiveness of anatomy education. This work aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of IVAL,11Immersive Virtual Anatomy Laboratory. an Immersive Virtual Anatomy Laboratory, for immersive and engaging learning experiences. A study involving dozens of University students assessed the efficacy of this innovative tool, resulting in high levels of satisfaction, success, and learning outcomes. IVAL was found to be an effective tool in promoting learning and retention of anatomical concepts, with participants highly rating the tool regarding engagement and learning enhancement. This study demonstrates that immersion in a 3D representation of the skeletal system through VR is essential for a deep knowledge of anatomical learning. These results have important implications for medical educators because IVR technologies can enhance student learning and improve the effectiveness of medical education.},

solely of humans, or of technology, but instead arises from an emergent interaction between

the two. This, emergent, account of agency deepens our understanding of unfolding IS practice,

but its largely cognitive orientation remains naïve towards affectively-sensed motivations that

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,

A paucity of studies has used a microfoundation lens to examine servitization processes in internationalized knowledge-intensive business service (KIBS) companies. The research aims to bridge this gap by considering knowledge sharing as a form of both codified knowledge and informal feedback knowledge; it also assesses whether the adoption of knowledge transfer and translation practices in a servitization process positively moderates the effect of knowledge transformation on knowledge sharing for internationalized KIBS companies.

Design/methodology/approach



By adopting a microfoundation lens, the research offers an empirical analysis to identify the relations between codified and tacit knowledge in servitization processes within internationalized KIBS companies. The study is based on 326 respondents from 30 KIBS companies. A multiple regression analysis was used for hypotheses testing.

Findings



The authors found significant relations among the use of electronic documents in the servitization process (formal codified knowledge), personal advice in servitization (informal feedback knowledge) and knowledge sharing in internationalized KIBS companies. Findings also support the indirect effect assumed in the hypothesis between knowledge transformation and knowledge sharing in internationalized KIBS companies, which is positively moderated by the adoption of cross-cultural knowledge practices in the servitization process.

Originality/value



To the best of the authors' knowledge, this research provides the first conceptual model of the use of a microfoundation lens to examine knowledge sharing in internationalized KIBS companies. The micro level features individual knowledge sharing in the servitization process, while the meso level focuses on knowledge transformation in KIBS companies and the adoption of knowledge transfer and translation practices in the servitization process.},

This study presents an optimized approach for experimentally characterizing the overall dynamic mechanical behavior of Twill woven glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (W-GF-PP) laminates. The methodology focuses on reporting the strain rate effect on the

material response while attempting to isolate the inherent inertial disturbances in the specimen attributed to the test system. Tensile tests have been conducted until the specimen's total failure for three specific relative orientations of fiber: 0°, 90°, and ± 45°. The tests

span a strain rate range from quasi-static (10-4 s?1) up to 2000 mm?s?1 (approximately 160 s?1, depending on the specimen's actual response). The material's behavior appears sensitive, particularly for the ± 45° fiber orientation. The study also examines the impact of

We first prove the proportional invariance in DEA-based FCA. Then, we show that the ?all-efficient? assumption in existing models usually leads to the use of unrealistic weights in efficiency analysis. To address this issue, we relax this assumption and adopt a weight constraint approach. Further, we illustrate that some DMUs would always be allocated with zero fixed cost if only the goal of efficiency maximizing is considered. Therefore, some weight constraints are added, and a new bi-objective model is proposed to allocate the fixed cost among the DMUs in order to simultaneously maximize the efficiencies of the DMUs and make the allocation as close as possible to the one generated according to the DMUs' operation sizes. A mono-objective nonlinear program, which can be solved using dichotomy and a linear program solver, is used to obtain a non-dominated or Pareto-optimal trade-off solution for the bi-objective model. With the use of our approach, neither unrealistic weights nor zero fixed cost appears in the result. Finally, the proposed approach is applied to a numerical example and a commercial bank case study.},

abstract = {Economic sanctions can induce economic crises and compromise the determinants of health. In the literature, economic crises have been found to increase the risk of infectious disease outbreaks. Presumably, sanctions can increase the risk of infectious disease spreads, indirectly. However, non-economic factors can fuel the adverse impact of sanctions, including political consequences of sanctions and civil war. We performed a systematic literature review of articles in Embase, MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and the grey literature to assess empirically the impact of economic sanctions on the spread of infectious diseases within and beyond the borders of sanctioned countries. Our review did not identify any study meeting our inclusion criteria. Most of the studies did not control for major socio-political events, particularly armed conflicts in the sanctioned countries. This discovery underscores a notable gap in the examination of the impact of economic sanctions on the propagation of infectious diseases, presenting a threat to global health. Using the social-ecological model, we hypothesize how the economic crisis resulting from economic sanctions affects determinants of health, increases the risk of the spread of infectious diseases and hinders the response capacity of health systems.},

Experimental testing, coupled with predictive modeling using Tsai-Hill and Tsai-Wu criteria, forms the crux of our investigation. The predicted ultimate strength from both criteria exhibits commendable agreement with the 3D printed specimens across a spectrum of orientation angles. Concurrently, Finite Element Simulations are meticulously executed to forecast mechanical behavior, taking into account the observed elasticity and plasticity in various orientations.

Furthermore, the ultimate strength experiences a notable increase, leading to varied failure modes contingent upon ?. These findings underscore the pivotal role played by the orientation of printed layers in shaping the anisotropic behavior of 3D printed PLA parts, thereby integrating key process variables for optimization objectives. This study contributes valuable insights for professionals in the engineering, design, and manufacturing domains who seek to harness the advantages of 3D printing technology while ensuring that the mechanical integrity of 3D printed parts aligns with their functional requisites.

abstract = {Purpose - Despite the increasing use of home delivery (HD) in e-commerce, no studies have explicitly

examined consumer perceptions of the convenience of the last-mile delivery of goods by cargo bike (CB).

Therefore, this study aims to identify the dimensions of HD convenience and to develop a reliable and valid

measurement tool, namely the Home-Delivery Convenience via Cargo Bike (HDCCB) scale.

Design/methodology/approach - The methodology of this scale development study is premised on a

review of the existing literature, which identifies differences in consumer perceptions of the convenience of

services. The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 online consumers and validated the

content with 3 experts on marketing in the retail and services sectors in order to develop the items for the scale.

Thereafter, the authors identified the main dimensions through an exploratory factor analysis that the authors

applied to an online survey with 116 respondents. Finally, the scale was validated through a confirmatory

factor analysis of an online survey with 300 respondents.

Findings - Following the original work of Brown (1990), the authors define consumer perceptions of HD

convenience as a multidimensional construct and measure each facet of its four dimensions, which are time, use,

execution and acquisition. E-retailers and last-mile logistics providers could use the authors' proposed

measurement tool to assess consumer perceptions of the convenience of HD. That assessment could generate a

competitive advantage.

Originality/value - This study is original as the study deepens the existing understanding of consumer

perceptions of the convenience of HD by CB in last-mile logistics. This study also develops a multidimensional

measure that is based on an empirical study.},

Nevertheless, the causality of such a correlation among the middle-aged and older populations in developing countries awaits further investigations. This study aims to understand how a specific natural ecosystem change, namely the establishment of ecological reserves, improves the physical and mental health of middle-aged and older residents in China. Two batches of national key eco-function zones (NKEFZs) in 2011 and 2016 are selected as a quasi-experiment; and a total of 128,755 middle-aged and older residents from a combined data set from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) and China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Studies (CHARLS) from 2010 to 2020. A difference-in-differences method was used to identify the causal effects of the natural ecosystem improvement on human health outcomes. The results indicate significant and sustained improvements in the physical health of local middle-aged and elderly residents following the implementation of the NKEFZs policy. Notably, ecological reserves with a water conservation function and those in Karst area have the most salient effects on physical health. Furthermore, this study shows that the creation of ecological reserves improves the mental health of middle-aged and older residents, with the effect varying based on changes in physical health. This study provides new insights into the positive impact of natural ecosystem improvement on human health outcomes, in particular physical and mental health.},

To analyze the impact of AR technology on the tourism experience, we developed the FEZAR mobile application. This application serves as the focal point of our study, allowing us to evaluate user performance using a comparative experimental approach. To ensure the usability of the FEZAR application, professionals with expertise in mobile technologies, including AR, performed rigorous testing and evaluation of the application. Through their evaluations, significant usability issues were identified and resolved, resulting in the application being well-received by the experts. Subsequently, a comparative field study was conducted in Fez's old medina, a crowded UNESCO heritage site, involving users (N = 40) who were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups in equal distribution. The results of the study revealed that the proposed AR model had a significant positive impact on user visits. Compared to other forms of media, AR offers more informative and enjoyable experiences. Additionally, it effectively helps locate monuments in crowded tourism settings. The findings of this research make a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion regarding the impact of evaluating MAR user interfaces on increasing visitor engagement with tourist destinations.},

heavily on human expertise and the availability of failure inspection equipment. In semiconductor industry, a large amount of FA reports are generated by experts to record the fault descriptions, fault analysis path and fault root causes. With the development of Artificial Intelligence, it is possible to automate the industrial FA process while extracting expert knowledge from the vast FA report data. The goal of this research is to develop a complete expert knowledge extraction pipeline for FA in semiconductor industry based on advanced Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Our research aims at automatically predicting the fault root cause based on the fault descriptions. First, the text data from the FA reports are transformed into numerical data using Sentence Transformer embedding. The numerical data are converted into latent spaces using Generalized-Controllable Variational AutoEncoder. Then, the latent spaces are classified by Gaussian Mixture Model. Finally, Association Rules are applied to establish the relationship between the labels in the latent space of the fault descriptions and that of the fault root cause. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated with real data of semiconductor industry collected

over three years. The average correctness of the predicted label achieves 97.8%. The method can effectively reduce the time of failure identification and the cost during the inspection stage.},

The Primescan IOS (Dentsply Sirona) can be fitted with three scanning sleeves, based on the level of hygiene imposed by the clinical situation and health regulations: a standard sleeve (SS), an autoclavable sleeve (AS), and a disposable sleeve (DS). Most studies evaluating accuracy use local best-fit algorithms to superimpose a reference scan and a test scan, providing relative accuracy. This study proposes an alternative evaluation method based on metrological principles and aims to compare the quality of scans taken with the three types of sleeves. An 8 mm aluminum oxide sphere was scanned 24 times using each sleeve. Mesh analysis was conducted, and measures of trueness, precision, and digitizing noise were calculated. Significant differences in trueness were identified between AS-DS (p < 0.001) as well as AS-SS (p < 0.001), while no significant differences were found between the sleeves for precision (p = 0.623). Significant differences in digitizing noise were also identified between DS-AS (p < 0.001), DS-SS (p = 0.001), and SS-AS (p = 0.001). This study tested the scanning quality of an IOS fitted with different sleeves using absolute measures as opposed to relative measures, and though statistically significant differences were found, within the experimental conditions, the errors appear to be within clinically accepted limits.},

fatigue life estimation using the Manson-Coffin-Basquin model were identified.

Elasto-plastic behavior was analyzed through stress-strain hysteresis

loops, evaluating kinematic and isotropic hardenings. Kinematic hardening

was found to be strain amplitude dependent, unlike the isotropic hardening.

The evolution of the isotropic variable with the percentage of fatigue life could

be described by an exponential law. Fractography investigations showed crack

Using the lens of ?communicative capitalism,? we carry out a case study of ?HappyAppy,? a French techno-startup association concerned with well-being related applications, to understand how holistic ideas are deployed and shaped within this association. We find that that holism is marked, on the one hand, by ?autarkic? fantasies, involving subjective integration and immersion, and on the other, by ?relational? fantasies, involving interpersonal connection and participation. Moreover, each of these versions of holism is associated with distinct critical possibilities. We use these results to theorize the role of digital holism at the intersection of new age management and digital culture, outlining an agenda for future research.},

This work studies the profit of recyclers and platforms with a degree of trust-building in the reverse logistics system considering the following scenarios: online recycling platform builds trust or not under centralized and decentralized models. The results show that trust-building can effectively make more revenue for the system of the online recycling platform with enhanced demand if the cost of the trust-building construction is relatively low, especially in the centralized model. The revenue-sharing contract is more profitable than the cost-sharing contract but fails to achieve optimization in the integrated setting.

This system is ideal for community and intra-facility logistics. The research optimises the network design by determining the location of lockers, the number of drones at each locker, and the assignment of demands to lockers, minimising operating costs. Both single-parcel and multi-parcel capacity drones are examined. We build an optimisation model for each system, considering drone service capacity as a critical constraint. We design an algorithm combining average sample approximation and a genetic algorithm to address demand uncertainty. The algorithm's efficiency is validated through comparative analysis with Gurobi. Numerical experiments, using real and generated data, optimise the network design. Results show that the multi-capacity drone system requires fewer lockers and drones than the single-capacity system. Although the single-capacity system yields lower drone delivery costs, it incurs higher truck delivery costs. Additionally, a comprehensive cost analysis compares the cost-efficiency of the locker-drone system with a conventional drone delivery system, revealing the cost-saving advantage of the locker-drone system.},

All businesses are finding it difficult to figure out how to enhance the environment and society. Following the co-generation of social, ethical, and corporate aims, new sustainable inventions have evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic event, similar to new solutions into a workable, viable, and ethical business. The positive and negative aspects of inventions are a topic of discussion among innovation management academics. In particular, how innovation may be more sustainable even when job inequities caused by automation have sparked a feeling of the importance of upholding human rights. Despite that, the innovation management literature is still far from being pedantic in studying automation and human rights towards sustainable innovations in the context of international new ventures (INVs). The article challenges a pessimistic view of innovations by examining automation and human rights for 3000 INVs through the perspective of the micro-foundations. Multiple linear regression analysis is used to evaluate hypotheses, demonstrating how social entrepreneurship can play a constructive mediating role in upholding human rights and promoting automation. This demonstrates the necessity for additional research on a business's individual level to create social breakthroughs. The study encourages policymakers and the government to support sustainable innovations by utilizing technology to boost job quality, uphold human rights, and foster global entrepreneurship.},

Employing a dual-method approach, a bibliometric analysis was conducted on 861 articles collected from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, to investigate the evolution of AR research over time and across countries, and to identify the main contexts of the utilization of AR in tourism. In the second part of our study, a systematic content analysis was conducted, focusing on a subset of 57 selected studies that specifically employed AR systems in various tourism situations. Through this analysis, the most commonly utilized AR design components, such as tracking systems, AR devices, tourism settings, and virtual content were summarized. Furthermore, we explored how these components were integrated to enhance the overall tourism experience. The findings reveal a growing trend in research production, led by Europe and Asia. Key contexts of AR applications in tourism encompass cultural heritage, mobile AR, and smart tourism, with emerging topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and COVID-19. Frequently used AR design components comprise mobile devices, marker-less tracking systems, outdoor environments, and visual overlays. Future research could involve optimizing AR experiences for users with disabilities, supporting multicultural experiences, integrating AI with big data, fostering sustainability, and remote virtual tourism. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the role of AR in shaping the future of tourism in the post COVID-19 era, by providing valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the tourism industry.},

abstract = {This paper develops a new fixed cost allocation (FCA) approach that considers individual rationality and fairness using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) cross-efficiency evaluation. We propose two FCA principles from individual rationality: a novel self-lowest principle and the efficient after FCA principle. Under the precondition that the individual rationality principles are satisfied, we suggest determining the final FCA result based on two overall fairness principles: the lower bound principle and the cross-efficiency Pareto-optimality principle. A multi-objective FCA model is built following these principles. An algorithm and some rules are used to solve the multi-objective model and obtain the final cross-efficiency evaluation and FCA result. Our study contributes by explicitly showing the design of individual rationality and overall fairness in FCA using the DEA cross-efficiency evaluation mechanism. Finally, we compare the suggested approach with some previous ones using a numerical example and illustrate its usefulness through a truck fleet case study.},

abstract = {This study aimed to synthesize fragmented knowledge about international student mobility (ISM) in higher education to provide an understanding of existing studies and directions for future research. To this end, the authors conducted a systematic literature review using a hybrid approach that integrated bibliometric analysis with the theory, context, and method (TCM) framework (Paul et al., 2017). Applying bibliometric analysis, this study found publication trends, prolific journals, influential articles, and major themes in the field, whereas the TCM framework helped identify widely used theories (motivation theory, immigration theory, acculturation theory, learning theory, and capital theory), research contexts (destination country or region, population, and others), and methods in research and provided future study directions. The identified gaps in the existing literature suggest that future research should develop theoretical foundations and research designs to analyze new processes, patterns, and issues in ISM in higher education within the context of today's changing international environment. In addition to identifying the key research themes and research foundations of ISM in higher education, this review can help add value to the ISM literature from a marketing perspective. This is the first comprehensive literature review of this topic using a hybrid approach.},

abstract = {The established literature demonstrates the critical role of the policy mix in the formulation and implementation of government policies for industrial upgrading. However, existing studies mainly examine the policy mix from either a horizontal or a vertical coordination perspective; very few examine both dimensions. To gain further insights, the current study involves an analysis of how China's central government manages horizontal and vertical coordination to pursue upgrading in manufacturing industries on the basis of an ambidextrous policy mix perspective and a thorough examination of both the external attributes (i.e., policy level) and content (i.e., policy instruments and themes) of policy documents. This analysis reveals several viable policy implications in relation to China's manufacturing transformation. In particular, it finds that China's policy mix for achieving manufacturing upgrading is highly coordinated on both horizontal and vertical dimensions. Governments at all levels apply the same set of policy instruments; environmental instruments are the most frequently used, followed by supply- and demand-side instruments. The core policy topics within the manufacturing upgrading structure include innovation, industrial transformation, industrial agglomeration, demonstration projects and service-oriented manufacturing. Therefore, this study establishes recommendations for future policies, which should focus on reinforcing guidance regarding national policies, encouraging local governments to apply innovative policy tools and increasing the use of demand-side policy instruments.},

Based on a thematic analysis of 7,234 comments posted on the Yoga with Adriene YouTube channel in 2020, this study unpacks a technologically mediated practice of self-care, which we conceptualize as somametamnemata. Our findings illustrate three entangled aspects of somametamnemata relating to yoga, a form of bodywork: Caring about self through practicing yoga online; caring about self and others through sharing about yoga in written comments; and caring about self and others through responding to shared verbalizations of yoga. This study distinguishes somametamnemata from known practices of self-care, advancing existing literature on technologies of self by overcoming the dichotomy between negative views of ill-being and positive views of wellbeing. By situating the potentiality of individual wellbeing within ill-being, we shift debates and discussions of ?corporate wellness? beyond organizational boundaries.},

abstract = {The ongoing dynamic market evolution has reshaped the way companies can create value, thanks to new funding models and new market opportunities, especially in the early business stages. In particular, with the growing development of crowdfunding models, scholars and practitioners are questioning how backers can cocreate value by funding new entrepreneurial initiatives through digital platforms dedicated to this new form of financial support. Therefore, positioning this article in the knowledge and engineering management literature, the current research explores whether two subdimensions of value cocreation (VCC), knowledge sharing and interaction, may help to understand backers' intention to participate in a reward-based crowdfunding (RBCF) campaign. In particular, using the partial least square structural equation modeling approach on an original sample of 3574 backers, in this article, we find that knowledge sharing, understood as backers' expertise as well as the preparedness of the proponent team, and the interaction between the campaign actors contribute to explaining backers' participation in an RBCF initiative. The research supports the relevance of backers' engagement in terms of VCC as an experiential benefit for the success of an RBCF initiative. From this perspective, our study suggests that both entrepreneurs and platforms should consider VCC in the design and setting of RBCF campaigns.},

One of the central aspects of the conversation is whether or not AI will replace humans in value-added activities. The study remarks that humanoids are an amplificator of human potential, in light of a human-centered approach. In this vein, present work reconceptualizes the tenets of society 5.0 by considering the category of ?innovation ventura?, the evolution of the innovative enterprise in the next AI landscape.},

It has delivered positive and negative perspectives, focusing on the dilemma of how human skills can influence the DT. The present research explores human skills in the entrepreneurial world, considering its three main forms of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit in relation to the DT. This has mostly occurred in the knowledge-intensive business service (KIBS) industry in which humans have a predominant role. Under the lens of social cognitive theory, this study has examined a range of 370 KIBS companies across different sectors in Europe and the resulting individual creativity and innovation represent a (motivator) or a catalyst, which drives and nurtures DT. Theoretically, a new concept emerges, namely digital humanism, which involves emphasizing the relevance of human skills. Moreover, the study suggests that governments and policymakers encourage creative working activities by exploiting technologies to develop innovations. In this sense, technologies assume a positive connotation, leveraged by entrepreneurship knowledge-intensive business service; digital humanism; Creativity; Digital transformation; entrepreneurial spirit.},

abstract = {This article presents the analysis of a parallel mechanism of type 3-SPS-U. The usual singularity approach is carried out with respect to the Euler angles of the universal joint. However, this approach is computationally expensive especially when stacked structures are analyzed. Thus, the positioning of the mobile platform for the mechanism is analyzed using the theory of Tilt & Torsion (T&T). The singularity-free workspace and the tilt limits of the mechanism are disclosed through this method. These workspaces can then be mapped to the Euler angles of the universal joint and the relation between the T & T space and the Euler space is demonstrated and validated in this study. Initially, simulations are performed using the results of singularity analysis to have a comparison between the T&T space and the Euler space. Experimental validation is then carried out on the prototype of the mechanism to perform a circular trajectory, in line with the simulations. The outcome of this study will be helpful for the integration of the mechanism for a piping inspection robot and also for the analysis of stacked architectures.},
