abstract = {The present article investigates entrepreneurial sustainable innovations (ESIs) that work against the five elements (policy, finance, human capital, support and culture) of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) model (Isenberg, 2011). By conducting empirical research on 14 European countries, the study addresses how an EE can support entrepreneurs in creating sustainable innovations. Overall, the study contributes to exploring the relations between the EE and the relevant classes of ESIs, providing entrepreneurs and policymakers a framework by using a holistic examination of the EE and contributing to more effective policy solutions to encourage sustainable and resilient entrepreneurship-led economic growth. As shown by a quantitative analysis, ESIs are positively correlated with policy, finance and support in terms of infrastructural and administrative support, whereas culture and human capital do not significantly influence ESIs. The results also highlight that the EE's key factors have different impacts on ESIs over time because the effect of EEs can be considered a complex system because of its heterogeneous and dynamic nature. In addition, the country-level capability of ESIs are measured, showing that Ukraine, Romania, Poland and the Czech Republic demonstrate a low-level capability of ESIs, while Germany, the UK, Sweden, Netherlands, France and Belgium show a high-level capability. By contributing to the entrepreneurial literature, the research invokes sustainable mechanisms of innovation to boost national economic performance in European countries.},

to analyze the effects of multi-step cyberattacks on the safety of cyber-physical systems. We show how to represent systems, their components (either software and/or hardware), communication links, security measures, and attacks from a malicious intruder. The latter are typically taken from the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base. The discrete event simulation method makes it possible to represent any event affecting the system. We illustrate our approach by means of an illustrative example involving cyberattacks against the navigation system of an autonomous ship. We show how the formal modeling language AltaRica, primarily dedicated to safety analyses, can assess this illustrative example by representing the system and automatically extracting sequences of attacks,

leading to a safety-critical situation, namely the deviation of the ship by the attacker. This article aims to discuss this approach and to outline the lessons learned from our experience.},

abstract = {Artificial Intelligence and related technologies represent a major advance in the human capacity to produce knowledge from different areas of knowledge. The application of these technologies in repetitive human activities that can be learned by a machine is already a constant in society, but their use in education still needs research, especially pedagogical research, which can make it clear how AI can contribute effectively to teaching and learning processes, since these processes are marked not only by cognitive characteristics, but also by cultural and emotional aspects. Having identified this gap, we conducted a qualitative study with students and teachers from four EU countries in order to find out what they know about the use of technologies and AI in education, what are their concrete needs and the recommendations of teachers on the pedagogical use of AI in education. This is a contribution to the gap identified by other authors in research on AI and education. This study gives voice to the participants and addresses the issue from the perspective of education. The results point to (1) A knowledge of the topic only from the perspective of users, (2) High expectations of the impact of AI on education (3) Recommendations of adapting AI to learning purposes, (4) Attention to guarantees of inclusion, citizenship, and democracy.},

Based on the input-output model and data envelopment analysis (DEA), this paper evaluates the eco-efficiency of 44 sectors in China with a new DEA model considering inter-sectoral linkages, then explores how the industrial network would be optimized as inefficient sectors become efficient under constant resources supply and constant final demand. The empirical results indicate that 22 sectors are inefficient and deserve further improvement. Inefficient sectors becoming efficient will drive the industrial network to evolve in a more intensive direction, and allow the economy to achieve greater economic benefits with less energy consumption and pollution. Accounting under constant resources supply suggests that increasing external demand should be a key to promoting environmental decoupling in the economy. Accounting under constant final demand indicates more stringent environmental regulations should be used to drive technology upgrades.},

important comparison parameter for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing

(CAD-CAM) restorations. However, data on cast quality are typically provided by manufacturers,

and objective evaluation of these devices is lacking. Purpose. The purpose of this in vitro study was to build an evaluation protocol of 8 intraoral scanners by using an objective method for a small-scale model equivalent in size to a 4-tooth wide cast. In addition, a laboratory scanner was included to compare the performance of intraoral and extraoral devices.

Material and methods. An 8-mm-thick zirconia gauge block was scanned 10 times with a

laboratory scanner (Iscan D104) and 8 intraoral scanners (Omnicam, Primescan, Itero element 5D, CS 3600, TRIOS 3, Emerald, Planscan, and Medit i500). The obtained digital casts were extracted as standard tessellation language (STL) files and analyzed to evaluate the digitizing noise, dimensional trueness, and dimensional precision of each scanner. After validation of the normal distribution of the digitizing noise, dimensional trueness, and precision test results for each scanner with the Shapiro-Wilk test (a=.05), differences were determined with a 1-way ANOVA test. Results. Statistical differences were found between scanners (P<.05). The digitizing noise ranged from 3.2 ±0.6 mm with the Primescan to 15.5 ±2.5 mm with the Planscan. The dimensional trueness ranged from 19.1 ±11.5 mm for the CS3600 to 243.8 ±33.6 mm for the Planscan. The dimensional precision ranged from 7.7 ±2.4 mm for the Primescan to 53.7 ±3.4 mm for the Emerald. The group Iscan D104, Primescan, Itero 5D, CS3600, and TRIOS 3 showed minimally significant differences. Conclusions. Significant differences were found among the intraoral scanners for small-scale scans. The objective methodology of using a gauge block provided coherent and repeatable results.},

abstract = {Piping inspection robots play an essential role for industries as they can reduce the human effort and pose lesser risker to their lives. Generally, the locomotion techniques of these robots can be classified into mechanical and bioinspired. By using slot-follower leg mechanisms, DC-motors and control units, a rigid caterpillar type inspection robot was  designed  and  developed  at  LS2N,  France. This rigid prototype helped in identifying the static forces required to accomplish good contact forces with the pipeline walls. In order to work inside curvatures, a tensegrity mechanism that uses three tension springs and a passive  universal  joint  was  introduced  between  each module of this robot. The optimal parameters of the robot assembly were identified by considering a preloading along the cables, which ensured the stability of the entire robot. However, under static conditions, there exists some forces on the robot,especially on the tensegrity mechanism when one end of the leg mechanisms is clamped with the pipeline walls. These forces are dominant when the orientation of the pipeline is horizontal. The objective of this article is to understand the effect of stiffness of thespring on the static stability of the tensegrity mechanism under the self-weight of the robot assembly.},

abstract = {This paper proposes an approach for medical resource allocation among hospitals under public health emergencies based on data envelopment analysis (DEA). First, the DEA non-regressive production technology is adopted to ensure that the DMU can always refer to the most advanced production technology throughout all production periods. Based on the non-regressive production technology, two efficiency evaluation models are presented to calculate the efficiencies of DMUs before and after resource allocation. Our theoretical analysis shows that all the DMUs can be efficient after medical resource allocation, and thus a novel resource allocation possibility set is developed. Further, two objectives are considered and a bi-objective resource allocation model is developed. One objective is to maximize the output target realizability of the DMUs, while the other is to ensure the allocated resource to each DMU fits with its operation size, preperformance, and operation practice (i.e., proportion of critically ill patients). Additionally, a trade-off model is proposed to solve the bi-objective model to obtain the final resource allocation results. The proposed approach contributes by ensuring that the medical resources are allocated in such a way that they can all be efficiently used as well as considering multiple objectives and practical constraints that make the approach more fitted with the practical application scenarios. Finally, a case study of 30 hospitals in Wuhan during the COVID-19 epidemic is applied to illustrate the proposed approach.},

The use of a mobile recycling application is evaluated with regard to its media richness with a sample of 12 539 users in Italy. The research is developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, at a time when users have become more environmentally conscious and aware of plastic pollution. 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. As users become more accustomed to social technologies, those technologies may help to establish responsible consumption patterns.},

Drawing on institutional logics perspective, this study develops and tests a measurement model of sustainable supply chain strategies. The study identifies three theoretically-driven strategies as performance-oriented strategy for commercial logic, risk avoidance-oriented strategy for public logic, and collaboration-oriented strategy for social-welfare logic. Then, a measurement construct is developed through the review of extant literature and corporate practices as well as using the findings of a semi-structured interview with 21 managers in nine suppliers. The construct is tested based on a survey data drawn from a sample of 131 suppliers of Western companies in Turkey. The analysis confirms a three-dimensional measurement model. Considering the importance of knowing how to strategically approach a supplier to ensure its sustainability, both scholars and managers can use this model to investigate the implications of formulation and implementation of diverse sustainability strategies at supply chain context.},

Sensurfaces is composed of plug-and-play modules that can be connected together to expand the size and number of materials composing a sensitive surface. The combination of Sensurfaces modules allows the creation of small or large multi-material sensitive surfaces that can detect multi-touch but also body proximity, pose, pass, or even human steps. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of Sensurfaces. We propose a design space describing the factors of Sensurfaces interfaces.

Composite plates of GF50-PP have been employed to study the effect of glass fiber distribution on the mechanical properties of the composites. To achieve this objective the tensile tests have been performed at strain rate range from quasi-static to 100 s?1 at two loading temperatures of 20 °C and -70 °C, while measuring the local deformation through a contactless technique using a high-speed camera. High strain rate tensile tests findings showed that GF50-PP behavior is strongly strain-rate dependent. For instance, the stress damage threshold for three fiber orientations of 0°, 45°, and 90° to the Mold Flow Direction (MFD) was increased, when the strain rate varies from quasi-static (0.001 s?1) to 100 s?1 at two loading temperatures of 20 °C and -70 °C. The experimental methodology was coupled to microscopic observations using SEM to study the damage mechanisms of GF50-PP. The analysis confirms that there are three damage mechanisms: fiber-matrix interface debonding, matrix breakage, and pseudo-delamination between neighboring bundles of fibers.},

abstract = {We examine how disordering joint position influences the linear elastic behavior of lattice materials via numerical simulations in two-dimensional beam networks. Three distinct initial crystalline geometries are selected as representative of mechanically isotropic materials with low connectivity, mechanically isotropic materials with high connectivity, and mechanically anisotropic materials with intermediate connectivity. Introducing disorder generates spatial fluctuations in the elasticity tensor at the local (joint) scale. Proper coarse-graining reveals a well-defined continuum-level scale elasticity tensor. Increasing disorder aids in making initially anisotropic materials more isotropic. The disorder impact on the material stiffness depends on the lattice connectivity: Increasing the disorder softens lattices with high connectivity and stiffens those with low connectivity, without modifying the scaling between elastic modulus and density (linear scaling for high connectivity and cubic scaling for low connectivity). Introducing disorder in lattices with intermediate fixed connectivity reveals both scaling: the linear scaling occurs for low density, the cubic one at high density, and the crossover density increases with disorder. Contrary to classical formulations, this work demonstrates that connectivity is not the sole parameter governing elastic modulus scaling. It offers a promising route to access novel mechanical properties in lattice materials via disordering the architectures.},

Before using it in a realistic case, the protocol has been validated by inspecting a certified ceramic sphere. The measurements demonstrated errors under the level of clinical tolerance. A realistic prosthesis was then designed and machined. Our protocol revealed under-milled areas, over-milled areas, and, particularly, chipping on thinnest areas.

We also argue that governments' expenditures in green innovation tend to be more effective than those of firms, because governments are more willing to invest and risk in radical innovations than businesses. The analysis is conducted on a large-scale sample of data drawn from Eurostat, including information onR&Dexpenditures and on eco-innovation index from European firms and governments. The results confirm our model hypotheses: governments' investments largely predict eco-innovation, differently from firms' expenditures. Moreover, as supposed, country's cultural indulgence has a positive effect on the eco-innovation index as well.},

describe the viscoelastic behavior of a shape memory polymer (SMP) blend

(40% poly(caprolactone), PCL/60% Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) with different

PCL Mw. These parameters are determined using the Cole-Cole method.

Modeling curves (E00 = f (E0)) will be then compared to experimental data from

dynamical mechanical analysis (DMA) tests. It is shown that the bi-parabolic

model predicts well the behavior of the SMP mixture for different Mw of PCL.

Afterwards, the evolution of the model parameters with the Mw of PCL is

investigated. It is revealed that, when Mw of PCL drops, the relaxation modulus

E0 increases. This result proves that the rigidity of the SMP blend rises with

Mw declines.},

Purpose



This study aims to analyze how corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives address sustainability challenges by focusing on the congruence between process and outcome variables of CSR.

Design/methodology/approach



Following a theory-driven model, a content analysis was conducted on 63 award-winning social responsibility projects.

Findings



The study reveals that the adoption of a proactive approach during environmental assessment, which manifests itself in a focus on emerging sustainability challenges with a deeper interest, affects the centrality of social responsibility initiative by increasing its learning and partnership potential and leads organizations to produce radical innovations.

Practical implications



The findings provide a valuable understanding for practitioners on organizing the decision making process of CSR initiatives in order to unlock its learning potentials.

Social implications



Radically innovative projects with their higher levels of proactivity, centrality and generalizability are better than incremental ones at transferring and integrating company resources and capabilities to address emergent sustainability challenges.

Originality/value



The impact of CSR on society and nature has been a neglected area of literature. To reduce this gap, this study analyzes how the configuration of process variables shapes the outcomes of socially responsible initiatives on sustainability. It also provides a new typology on the relevance of CSR initiatives to company mission/model that can show how CSR can unlock organizational learning and innovation potentials.},

abstract = {Based on an exploratory thematic analysis of the interviews with representatives of brands with intense ethnic digital self-presentation and on confirmatory analysis of the content of the brands' digital media, this qualitative study introduces a notion of brand identity work. Four contributions are made: theorising brand identity work as a process of identity construction that involves brand building and brand presentation; unpacking a typology of tensions between brand building and brand presentation specific to ethnic marketing; suggesting a dynamic view of authenticity and uncovering a typology of presentation strategies that address these conflicts. We find that behind the tensions between brand-building and brand presentation stands brands' concern about authenticity. Depending on the type of authenticity tensions, brands develop self-presentation strategies, notably, celebrity endorsement. Social media content analysis shows that brands use self-presentation strategies separately or in combination.},

abstract = {Improving the express industry's environmental efficiency is of practical significance to green and sustainable economic development. The development of internet may help achieve this goal. However, previous studies have not provided a consistent result about the relationship between internet development and the express industry's environmental efficiency. This paper provides a deeper understanding of this relationship by analyzing the threshold effects from the perspectives of road network density, openness to international trade and competition, and e-commerce level. Based on Chinese provincial data from 2012 to 2017, we first use a range directional data envelopment analysis model to evaluate the express industry environmental efficiency. Then, a threshold model is constructed to analyze the threshold effects in the relationship between internet development and environmental efficiency. The results show that: (1) The impact of internet development on the express industry's environmental efficiency shows a single threshold effect as road network density increases, which indicates that internet development significantly improves that environmental efficiency when the road network density is above a threshold value. (2) The impact of internet development on express industry environmental performance shows a dual-threshold effect as the degree of openness increases. (3) There is also a dual-threshold effect in this relationship as the proportion of e-commerce business transactions increases, but this effect is not significant. Based on these results, suggestions are given for the express industry to improve its environmental efficiency in China.},

abstract = {Theorizing on the longitudinal case study of a Corporate Social Entrepreneurship (CSE), the paper offers a micro-level perspective of the Knowledge-Based View (KBV) in the current context of the gig economy. The intent is to suggest individual actions to overcome the gig economy issues based on limitless earnings, insecure work, and low quality of entrepreneurial activities. The paper originally contributes to the knowledge management and entrepreneurial literature and is partly consistent with the results on the extending knowledge-based perspective for a digital CSE. As a result, the main knowledge used for the development of the firm comes from the personal life of the actors involved in the project mostly. New research avenues are suggested: 1) the real bottom-up strategizing process for CSE; 2) the managerial level actions to induce entrepreneurial initiatives within a CSE; 3) the gendered aspect of CSE embedded in the new digital, social expanded KBV framework.},

abstract = {The increasing presence of humanoid robot adoption has generated a change in explorative and exploitative routines. If the explorative routines provoke creativity and critical thinking which are delivered by humans, exploitative routines induce repetitive actions and mimic activities which are executed by humanoids. This has raised the need for a better balance between both routines involving an ambidextrous dynamic process. Here, product innovations play a relevant role in enhancing such balance and labour productivity. If, from the conceptual standpoint, this phenomenon has already been explored, there is still the need to empirically analyse it. We thus offer a meso-analysis of twenty-four countries located in Europe through the lens of the Service Robot Deployment (SRD) Model and the conceptual lens of organizational ambidexterity. By a regression methodology, the results show that humanoid robot adoption is still not affecting labour productivity which, by contrast, is positively and significantly connected with both radically new and marginally modified/unchanged production of innovative routines.



Our original contribution, which falls in the field of Human Resources Management and Artificial Intelligence, is that humanoids are not directly impacting labour productivity but indirectly through the generation of both new and marginally modified (or unchanged) routines. This situation persuades senior leaders to achieve a balance between exploitative and explorative product innovation routines.},
