abstract = {We use the internal trading records of a major Bitcoin exchange leaked by hackers to detect

and characterize wash trading ? a type of market manipulation in which a single trader clears

her own limit orders to ?cook? transaction records. Our finding provides direct evidence for

the widely-suspected ?fake volume? allegation against cryptocurrency exchanges, which has

so far only been backed by indirect estimation. We then use our direct evidence to evaluate

various indirect techniques for detecting the presence of wash trades and find measures based on

Benford's law, trade size clustering, lognormal distributions, and structural breaks to be useful,

while ones based on power law tail distributions to give opposite conclusions. We also provide

suggestions to effectively apply various indirect estimation techniques.},

abstract = {The high strength steels are widely used especially for the metal stamping. This process could have important differences with the desired geometry due to the springback phenomenon. The numerical simulation of the stamping and springback is widely adopted in automotive industry. The accurateness is highly dependent on numerical techniques as well as process parameters. Among the parameters that affect the precision, we can mention: the bending radius-thickness ratio, the friction coeffcients, the yield loci, the finite element formulation, the damage ... In this work, the effects of friction coefficients and the extrapolation laws on springback numerical prediction are investigated. The accuracy of this work is demonstrated through the industrial stamping process of an automotive part with High-Strength low-alloy steel HSLA420. The numerical results are obtained with the Pam-stamp 2G. It was shown that the extrapolations of the laws have the same order of influence as the friction coefficients},

abstract = {The research proposes a new methodological framework based on dynamic priority to handle different order classes in robotic warehouse systems. Traditional static priority methods in facility logistics may cause low-priority orders to experience excessive delays and fail to ensure fairness. Our dynamic priority approach addresses this fairness issue by adjusting priorities over time to fulfill orders within promised times, ensuring both high-priority orders and long-waiting low-priority orders receive timely attention. We present stochastic models of dynamic priority queueing networks to describe warehouse systems and estimate throughput times. Experiments validate the analytical stochastic models, and experimental results indicate that the dynamic priority model achieves shorter delay times than the static priority model and the FCFS model. We propose design insights based on experimental results and provide an approach to select the optimal robot number. Furthermore, by employing a fairness index, we develop a new decision support tool for determining warehouse configurations with requested performance objectives. Experimental results demonstrate that dynamic priority can ensure fairness across a wider range of scenarios. Additionally, with insufficient pickers, the system performs better with the put wall than without it.},

abstract = {Maraging steels are used in industries that require high precision due to their exceptional mechanical properties. This paper

presents the impact of ten process parameters on the mechanical properties of maraging steel produced via electron beam

melting (EBM). The parameters studied here include printing orientation, scanning speed, beam power, beam diameter,

line offset, layer thickness, scan strategy, number of contours, preheating temperature, and post-processing. The mechanical

properties evaluated are tensile strength, strain at fracture, elongation at failure, energy density, material hardness, porosity,

and surface morphology. The results showed a significant correlation between these mechanical properties and the EBM

parameters. The highest ultimate tensile stress, determined from the tensile test, was recorded at 1491.51 MPa, corresponding

to an energy density of 64.28 J/mm3. The optimal parameters were identified as a line offset of 0.1 mm, a layer thickness

of 50 ?m, a scanning speed of 2800 mm/s, and a beam power of 15 mA. The energy density during EBM in turn affected

microstructure, porosity, and mechanical properties. Furthermore, the study revealed that aging heat treatment had a considerable

impact on the mechanical properties, with the highest tensile strength observed for a sample that had undergone

aging at 460 °C for 8 h. The results show the critical role of process parameters and aging heat treatment in achieving optimal

mechanical properties in EBM-produced maraging steel M789. These findings contribute to the optimization of this

manufacturing technique for industrial applications.},

abstract = {Immersive Virtual Anatomy Laboratory (IVAL) is an innovative learning tool that combines virtual reality and serious games elements to enhance anatomy education. This experimental study compares IVAL with traditional learning methods in terms of educational effectiveness and user acceptance. An experimental design was implemented with 120 undergraduate health-science students, randomly assigned to two groups: an experimental group using IVAL, and a control group following traditional learning methods. Data collection focused on quantitative measures such as pretest and posttest vocabulary assessment scores and task completion times, alongside qualitative measures obtained through a user experience questionnaire. This study utilizes the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), incorporating variables such as Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use. Results revealed significant improvements in the experimental group, with a 55.95% increase in vocabulary scores and an 18.75% reduction in task completion times compared to the control group. Qualitative data indicated that IVAL users reported greater Perceived Usefulness of the technology, improved Perceived Ease of Use, a more positive Attitude Toward Using IVAL, and stronger Behavioral Intention to continue using IVAL for anatomy learning. This study demonstrates that the integration of immersive virtual reality in the IVAL approach offers a promising method to enhance anatomy education. The findings provide insights into the effectiveness of immersive learning environments in improving learning outcomes and user acceptance. While further research is needed to explore long-term effects, this innovative approach not only enhances the effectiveness and enjoyment of anatomy learning but also provides valuable data on optimizing educational technology for improved learning outcomes.},

Through a case study focused on introducing remote work within Kazakhstan's Technical Gas Industry during a healthcare crisis, we examine the multifaceted challenges and opportunities that emerge when navigating a complex legal landscape. Our findings reveal that legal uncertainties, stemming from inadequacies in legislation and the tightness of norms, significantly impede the ability to adapt and modernize HR practices during crises. Furthermore, the criticality of the company's position within the industry, combined with a low degree of legal enforcement, underscores the concept of "responsibilization" among HR professionals. This phenomenon compels HR practitioners to assume greater responsibility and make strategic decisions that occasionally push the boundaries of existing laws and regulations. In this context, we propose a novel conceptualization of responsibilization, distinct from empowerment, as it involves embracing negative legal consequences associated with proactive decision-making during crises. This study contributes significantly to our understanding of how legal uncertainties influence the process of HR innovation in developing countries, highlighting the intricate interplay between regulatory frameworks, crisis management, and organizational transformation.},

This qualitative study explores how 41 women entrepreneurs construct an enterprising subjectivity through neoliberal healthism, and by doing so, provides a deeper understanding of alternative logics within and beyond the neoliberal logic of the enterprise. Our findings detail who they understand themselves to be by internalizing and at times challenging neoliberal ideals through themes of self-responsibilization, self-optimization, and reflective health.  Our main contribution to critical women's entrepreneurship is that we conceptualize how an enterprising subjectivity is constructed through the personal optimization of health and wellbeing, fueled by shared-self-care rather than only the logic of market enterprise.},

The implementation of this right precipitated a polarised public debate that was not consistently evidence-based, encompassing the often-contradictory perspectives of unions, employers, business lobbies and politicians. This study offers a more nuanced and evidence-based understanding of the right to disconnect, its benefits and challenges and the possible impact on Australian employment practices and relations. It provides an international comparative analysis; it explores the literature on related topics such as work-life balance, occupational stress, management practices and productivity; and it proposes a model of the consequences of technology-enabled flexible work. The comparative analysis and literature review are supplemented with themes identified in Australian media coverage through a Leximancer analysis. The findings discuss the advantages and limitations of diverse top-down legislative or self-regulatory pathways experienced overseas by early adopters. While the right to disconnect can improve work-life balance, health and well-being and productivity, its implementation requires careful consideration of industry-specific contexts, clear policies and cultural shifts in workplaces to mitigate the risks associated with hyperconnectivity. These insights are useful for Australia as it enters the implementation phase of the right to disconnect.},

abstract = {Consensus adjustment is crucial in group decision making (GDM), aiming to reduce discrepancies in decision makers' (DMs') judgments for final decision results. The consensus adjustments made by DMs are interactive rather than independent. However, few studies investigate the consensus adjustment problem from the perspective of interactions among DMs. This study first constructs a model to determine the total minimum consensus adjustment under the requirements of consensus threshold and individual-collective judgment bias. Then, a consensus adjustment approach based on cross-allocation scheme is proposed to address the inconsistency between individual and collective minimum adjustments, which concerns all DMs' individual favorable allocation results under the total minimum consensus adjustment. The cross-allocation scheme ensures unanimous support for the same allocation result among all rational DMs, thereby eliminating the discrepancies among them. Subsequently, the optimization model-based minimum consensus judgment penalty is formulated to handle the non-cooperative behaviors of DMs. Furthermore, we show how to determine the unique consensus adjustment result for the non-cooperative DMs using the cross-allocation scheme. Therefore, our study contributes by developing a new GDM method that conducts consensus adjustment allocation by considering interactions among DMs. Finally, a case study is employed to demonstrate the specific application of the new method and discuss its efficiency. Meanwhile, comparison analysis and simulation experiments are provided.},

abstract = {Medical image segmentation often faces challenges related to overfitting, primarily due to the limited and complex training samples. This challenge often prompts the use of self-supervised learning and data augmentation. However, self-supervised learning requires well-defined hand-crafted tasks and multiple training stages. On the other hand, basic image augmentation techniques like cropping, rotation, and flipping, effective for natural scene images, have limited efficacy for medical images due to their isotropic nature.



While regional dropout regularization data augmentation methods have proven effective in image recognition tasks, their application in image segmentation is not as extensively studied. Additionally, existing augmentation methods often operate on square regions, leading to the loss of crucial contour information. This is particularly problematic for medical image segmentation tasks dealing with regions of interest characterized by intricate shapes. In this work, we introduce LCAMix, a novel data augmentation approach designed for medical image segmentation. LCAMix operates by blending two images and their segmentation masks based on their superpixels, incorporating a local-and-contour-aware strategy. The training process on augmented images adopts two auxiliary pretext tasks: firstly, classifying local superpixels in augmented images using an adaptive focal margin, leveraging segmentation ground truth masks as prior knowledge; secondly, reconstructing the two source images using mixed superpixels as mutual masks, emphasizing spatial sensitivity. Our method stands out as a simple, one-stage, model-agnostic, and plug-and-play data augmentation solution applicable to various segmentation tasks. Notably, it requires no external data or additional models. Extensive experiments validate its superior performance across diverse medical segmentation datasets and tasks.

The Generalized Equilibrium Efficient Frontier Data Envelopment Analysis (GEEFDEA) approach introduced by Yang et al. (2015) is one of the most representative methods. In the GEEFDEA approach, all DMUs are adjusted to become efficient under the same set of weights, indicating that the Equilibrium Efficient Frontier (EEF) constructed consists of only one hyperplane. However, in practical scenarios under the Variable Return to Scale (VRS) assumption, the production frontier always consists of multiple hyperplanes, presenting a more complex shape. To fill this research gap, we propose an improved Equilibrium Efficient Frontier Data Envelopment Analysis approach. Our approach allows DMUs to have different weights for inputs, variable-sum outputs, and fixed-sum outputs, resulting in an EEF with multiple hyperplanes. It is noted that our new approach uses a non-linear model to obtain the EEF. We show that the model can be linearized in the case of a single fixed-sum output. In situations involving multiple fixed-sum outputs, we propose an algorithm based on the Expectation Maximization (EM) mechanism to solve the model to obtain an EEF. Finally, we illustrate the advantages of our new approach through a numerical example and a case study in the global motor vehicle industry.},

abstract = {To enhance the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis, current practices rely on biopsies and microscopic examinations. However, this approach is known for being time-consuming, tedious, and costly. While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown promise for their efficiency and high accuracy, training them effectively becomes challenging in real-world learning scenarios such as class imbalance, small-scale datasets, and label noises. Angular margin-based softmax losses, which concentrate on the angle between features and classifiers embedded in cosine similarity at the classification layer, aim to regulate feature representation learning. Nevertheless, the cosine similarity's lack of a heavy tail impedes its ability to compactly regulate intra-class feature distribution, limiting generalization performance. Moreover, these losses are constrained to target classes when margin penalties are applied, which may not always optimize effectiveness. Addressing these hurdles, we introduce an innovative approach termed MF-BAM (Mises-Fisher Similarity-based Boosted Additive Angular Margin Loss), which extends beyond traditional cosine similarity and is anchored in the von Mises-Fisher distribution. MF-BAM not only penalizes the angle between deep features and their corresponding target class weights but also considers angles between deep features and weights associated with non-target classes. Through extensive experimentation on the BreaKHis dataset, MF-BAM achieves outstanding accuracies of 99.92%, 99.96%, 100.00%, and 98.05% for magnification levels of ×40, ×100, ×200, and ×400, respectively. Furthermore, additional experiments conducted on the BACH dataset for breast cancer classification, as well as on the LFW and YTF datasets for face recognition, affirm the generalization capability of our proposed loss function.},

Fracture energy is determined from Griffith's analysis of energy balance during crack propagation, and fracture toughness is determined from fits of the displacement fields with Williams' asymptotic solutions. Significant size dependencies are evidenced in small lattices, with fracture energy and fracture toughness both converging algebraically with system size toward well-defined material-constant values in the limit of infinite system size. The convergence speed depends on the loading conditions and is faster when the symmetry of the considered lattice increases. The material

constants at infinity obey Irwin's relation and properly define the material resistance to failure. Their values are approached up to ? 15% using the recent analytical method proposed in Nguyen and Bonamy (Phys

Rev Lett 123:205503, 2019). Nevertheless, the deviation remains finite and does not vanish when the system size goes to infinity. We finally show that this deviation is a consequence of the lattice discreetness and

decreases when the super-singular terms of Williams' solutions (absent in a continuum medium but present here due to lattice discreetness) are taken into account.},

abstract = {The rapid advancement of Chinese Complex Products and Systems (CoPS) enterprises marks their transition into a post-catch-up phase, challenging conventional theories of catch-up. This study employs a configurational approach to explore the intricate relationships between catch-up environments and strategies, specifically focusing on the distinct paths of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and non-State-Owned Enterprises (non-SOEs) within the CoPS sector. Utilizing Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) with data sourced from the EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard (2017-2020) and corresponding Chinese-listed companies, our research identifies diverse catch-up configurations for SOEs, characterized by ?complexity adoption? and ?complexity decipher? models. In contrast, non-SOEs encounter challenges in strategically adapting to environmental shifts, which affects their catch-up strategies. Our findings emphasize the critical role of strategic alignment with external conditions, technological learning, and resource utilization in achieving successful catch-up in CoPS. These configurations enable SOEs to effectively align internal resources with external opportunities, resulting in superior catch-up performance. In contrast, non-SOEs encounter significant obstacles in adapting to environmental changes and optimizing resource utilization, which hinders their ability to attain similar successes. Moreover, our study sheds light on specific challenges faced by non-SOEs in responding to environmental shifts. This enriched understanding provides valuable theoretical insights into the catch-up of latecomer CoPS enterprises and has practical implications for both policymakers and business practitioners.},

The current research contributes to this debate from a different perspective by exploring some of the challenges and opportunities associated with the combination of both strategies into what has been defined as imovation. Imovators and imovations do not stand alone in business ecosystems. Rather, they should be embraced in the context of sustainability-related virtues and emerging capabilities, such as ethical behaviour, co-responsibility and positive social impact. Taking dynamic capabilities as a theoretical lens, this paper conducts an empirical investigation of responsible imovation in a sample of 180 enterprises operating in the Asia Pacific market. In particular, this research evaluates the relationship between dynamic capabilities and imovation capabilities using a logistic regression analysis whereby we correlate the three main features of imovation strategies: strategic alliances, strategic decision-making and product innovations. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first study to focus on responsible imovation in the Asia Pacific market from an empirical perspective. The research highlights the key organisational and individual actions with the potential both to preserve existing capabilities and to create and integrate new ones. Our findings highlight the importance of technology adoption for responsible imovation to become more effective and accessible to imovators in the Asia Pacific business ecosystem. We conclude that responsible imovations combined with product-level innovations and core dynamic capabilities pave the way towards more rapid growth and a more sustainable competitive advantage.},

abstract = {Purpose



Although 3D food printing is expected to enable the creation of visually appealing pureed food for people with disability and dysphagia, little is known about the user experience in engaging with 3D food printing or the feasibility of use with populations who need texture-modified foods. The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility and usability of using domestic-scale 3D food printer as an assistive technology to print pureed food into attractive food shapes for people with dysphagia.

Materials and Methods



In total, 16 participants engaged in the unfamiliar, novel process of using a domestic-scale 3D food printer (choosing, printing, tasting), designed for printing pureed food, and discussed their impressions in focus group or individual interviews.

Results and Conclusions



Overall, results demonstrated that informed experts who were novice users perceived the 3D food printing process to be fun but time consuming, and that 3D food printers might not yet be suitable for people with dysphagia or their supporters. Slow response time, lack of user feedback, scant detail on the appropriate recipes for the pureed food to create a successful print, and small font on the user panel interface were perceived as barriers to accessibility for people with disability and older people. Participants expected more interactive elements and feedback from the device, particularly in relation to resolving printer or user errors. This study will inform future usability trials and food safety research into 3D printed foods for people with disability and dysphagia.



    IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION



    3D food printers potentially have a role as an assistive technology in the preparation of texture-modified foods for people with disability and dysphagia.



    To increase feasibility, 3D food printers should be co-designed with people with disability and their supporters and health professionals working in the field of dysphagia and rehabilitation.



    Experts struggled to be able to print 3D pureed shapes owing to relatively low usability of the 3D food printer tested with problems using the interface and resolving problems in the print.



    3D food printing is a fun and novel activity and may help to engage people with disability and dysphagia in making choices around the shape of the food to be printed.},

abstract = {The widespread integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the realms of energy and the environment has emerged as a catalyst for transformative shifts toward low-carbon energy structures. However, existing literature and practical applications have yet to delve into the intricate ways in which intelligent technology influences energy structures. Consequently, this study addresses this gap by constructing a comprehensive theoretical model that encompasses robots and differentiated energy inputs. By drawing on the Chinese case, this research investigates the impact of AI on low-carbon energy structure transformation, both theoretically and empirically. The study's results reveal that AI technology significantly advances the cause of low-carbon energy transformation. Notably, this effect is manifested in the post-Industry 4.0 era and regions endowed with abundant renewable energy resources and strong governmental support for innovation. Rigorous robustness tests substantiate the existence of this relationship. Furthermore, adopting smart technology fosters energy structure transformation through industrial restructuring, and introduces the energy rebound effect, thereby partially offsetting its positive impact. Importantly, the study underscores that the efficacy of AI is further heightened when the influx of innovation factors surpasses a certain threshold. These findings furnish crucial evidence and policy insights for China and other developing nations, offering guidance on accelerating energy transitions and attaining carbon neutrality.},

Then, using this new representation, we introduce a novel closed-form probability density function (PDF) approximation for the sum of Gamma-Gamma random variates with generalized pointing errors and atmospheric attenuation of MIMO free-space optical (FSO) communications. Statistical Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests confirm the accuracy of this approximation over a wide range of channel conditions. The significance of this approximation is emphasized by deriving closed-form expressions for the ergodic capacity, outage probability, and average bit error rate (BER) using Meijer's G-function. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the performance of MIMO FSO systems utilizing the equal gain combining (EGC) diversity technique under various conditions, such as different numbers of transmitter and receiver, turbulence intensities, the effects of non-zero boresight pointing errors, and path attenuation. The results show that using MIMO technology with more transmitters and receivers significantly improves the performance of FSO communication compared to other diversity techniques, including single input single output (SISO), and multiple input single output (MISO) systems. Detailed evaluations of the ergodic capacity, outage probability, and average BER performance at high signal-to-noise ratios provide additional insights. Monte-Carlo simulation results demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed approach.},

To replicate this type of trauma, which can be caused by a road accident, a three-point bending test is considered using experimental tests and numerical simulations.



The withstand evaluation of the tibia-PL and tibia-IMN structures was conducted by following the load transfer through, the bone and the used implants. The analysis, up to tibia failure, required the use of an elasto-plastic behaviour law coupled to damage. The model parameters were identified using experimental tests.



Il was shown that the tibia-IMN structure provided a bending resistant load up to three-times higher than the tibia-PL. In fact, the used screws for plate fixation induced a high level of stress in the vicinity of threaded region, leading to a crack initiation and a damage propagation. However, in tibia-IMN structure the highest stress was generated in the trapped zone between the loader and the nail, promoting crack formation.



From a biomechanical point of view, the structure with IMN is safer than the structure with PL, whose fixation induces earlier damage in bone.},

This time period has also seen an increase in the use of mobile applications, which provide social engagement and other benefits. Although it has encouraged new research on recycling behavior and how environmental messages are spread, as far as we know, no research has included a specific technology, such as mobile applications. Through the lens of consumer social media engagement behavior, it has emerged that media richness has a positive correlation with user engagement and recycling behavior. Theoretically, the research offers a novel technological tool worthy of further exploration in the fields of management and engineering. New practical insights are offered in terms of best practices for strengthening the relationships between companies and their clients.

In this paper, we present PalmEx, a novel approach which incorporates palmar force-feedback into exoskeleton gloves to improve the overall grasping sensations and manual haptic interactions in VR. PalmEx's concept is demonstrated through a self-contained hardware system augmenting a hand exoskeleton with an encountered palmar contact interface -- physically encountering the users' palm.

We build upon current taxonomies to elicit PalmEx's capabilities for both the exploration and manipulation of virtual objects. 

We first conduct a technical evaluation optimising the delay between the virtual interactions and their physical counterparts.

We then empirically evaluate PalmEx's proposed design space in a user study (n=12) to assess the potential of a palmar contact for augmenting an exoskeleton. Results show that PalmEx offers the best rendering capabilities to perform believable grasps in VR.

PalmEx highlights the importance of the palmar stimulation, and provides a low-cost solution to augment existing high-end consumer hand exoskeletons.},

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.},

The traditional approach to modeling such systems is based on the use of stochastic models that describe the choice of a possible scenario of actions in the event of problems in a production or transportation network. Along with a number of advantages, this approach has a known drawback. The occurrence of problems of an unknown nature that can jeopardize the performance of the entire simulated system significantly complicates its use. This paper introduces the minimax problem of constructing fault-tolerant production plans (reliable production process design problem, RPPDP), the purpose of which is to ensure the uninterrupted operation of a distributed production system with minimal guaranteed cost. It is shown that the RPPDP is NP-hard in the strong sense and remains intractable under quite specific conditions. To find exact and approximate solutions with accuracy guarantees for this problem, branch-and-bound methods are developed based on the proposed compact model of the mixed integer linear program (MILP) and novel heuristic of adaptive search in large neighborhoods (adaptive large neighborhood search, ALNS) as part of extensions of the well-known Gurobi MIP solver. The high performance and complementarity of the proposed algorithms is confirmed by the results of numerical experiments carried out on a public library of benchmarking instances developed by the authors based on instances from the PCGTSPLIB library.},

However, discrepancies often arise among DMUs regarding CEA allocation. This study introduces a dynamic bargaining game approach to address the issue under the nonparametric production frontier analysis framework. Our approach employs an iterative process, allowing each DMU to propose its individual preferred CEA allocation proposal in each iteration. Subsequently, dynamic negotiations among the DMUs occur, leading to the eventual consensus on the CEA allocation result. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates that, at the end of the dynamic bargaining game, all DMUs will converge on the same CEA allocation result, termed as the consensus CEA allocation result. This agreement is reached despite each DMU customizing its individual CEA allocation proposal to suit its own interests. Moreover, we prove that this consensus CEA allocation result represents a Nash equilibrium solution, thereby ensuring its stability and acceptance among all DMUs. Finally, we provide a simple numerical example and a case study of CEA allocation across 27 European Union countries to illustrate the usefulness of our approach and compare it with prior CEA allocation approaches.},

made understanding its transdermal delivery kinetics challenging. In this

study, as a first step, governing equations and finite element methods were

employed to reproduce Franz diffusion cell experiment in human cadaver skin.

The application of this experiment representative model with a fitting method

resulted in approximate values for the diffusivity of doxorubicin across various

skin layers. The estimated values were used later to conduct a comprehensive

examination of doxorubicin administration for breast tumor treatments. In a

2D axisymmetric model using Fick's Law and then a microneedles array 3D

model, crucial parameters effects on delivery efficiency were examined, such

as the microneedle tip diameter, tip-to-tip distance, and tumor depth. As

highlighted by the findings of this study, these parameters have an impact on

the effectiveness of doxorubicin delivery for treating breast tumors. The focus

of this research is on the potential of numerical methods in biomedical engineering,

which addresses the urgent need for data on doxorubicin diffusion in

abstract = {Purpose

Environmental knowledge management (EKM) has been studied mainly owing to the increasing awareness of environmental issues. Such issues have generated a warning in the tourism industry that has stimulated a new wave of research on EKM. EKM forges landscape characteristics and so destination image. In turn, EKM sounds affecting tourism destination which calls for destination personality which shows a research context less explored. From a knowledge management perspective, The present research aims to investigate on EKM to understand how it leverages tourists' and destination personality.



Design/methodology/approach

With the intent of exploring EKM, the research uses a quantitative analysis on a sample of 2,222 young Chinese tourists. In this context, EKM is linked with destination's personality and tourists' personalities, their satisfaction with the destination and their behavioral intentions.



Findings

By SPSS regression model, EKM and destination personality are positively linked. This positive relationship is also reflected on destination personality and destination satisfaction, behavioral intention.



Originality/value

The authors' original contribution to the knowledge management literature extends the new wave of research on EKM. The research also proves the need to make a close collaboration between tourists, the local community and marketers. Marketers need to pay more attention to what tourists want to do and see in the place visited. In a nutshell, there is the need of enforcing and promoting EKM.

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.},

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.},

However, traditional sensor-based motion capture systems are limited by their high cost and the need for multiple cameras and physical markers. To address these limitations, cloud-based HPE tools, such as DeepMotion and MOTiON by RADiCAL, have been developed. This study presents the first scientific evaluation of MOTiON by RADiCAL, a cloud-based 3D HPE tool based on deep learning and cloud computing. The evaluation was conducted using the CMU dataset, which was filtered and cleaned for this purpose. The results were compared to the ground truth using two metrics, the Mean per Joint Error (MPJPE) and the Percentage of Correct Keypoints (PCK). The results showed an accuracy of 98 mm MPJPE and 96% PCK for most scenarios and genders. This study suggests that cloud-based HPE tools such as MOTiON by RADiCAL can be a suitable alternative to traditional sensorbased motion capture systems for simple scenarios with slow movements and little occlusion.},

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.},

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.},
