Project portfolio success determinants: a dynamic capability perspective

Purpose This study reconceptualizes project portfolio management (PPM) through dynamic capabilities (DC) theory, explaining how sensing, seizing, and transforming routines co-evolve to sustain strategic alignment and adaptive portfolio performance. Design/methodology/approach An...

Feasibility of implementing a mindfulness-based program for paediatric intensive care unit staff

Background Paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) clinicians are particularly susceptible to workplace stress due to frequent ethical dilemmas (for example, perceptions of futile or unethical treatment), patient morbidity and mortality, sleep disruption, and emotional exhaustion,...

Helical Anchor Pullout Using a Semifluidized Bounding Surface Plasticity Model

Abstract The ultimate vertical pullout capacity of single-helix anchors in sand was explored using the coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian (CEL) technique to account for large deformation processes. A semifluidized bounding surface plasticity model was incorporated in a novel manner to i...

Design and Proof-of-Concept Evaluation of a Passive Lower-Limb Exoskeleton for Citrus Harvesting Tasks

Citrus harvesting involves repetitive lower-limb and postural activities that expose workers to elevated risks of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), particularly affecting the lower back and lower limbs. Passive lower-limb exoskeletons offer a potential low-complexit...

Co-creating and testing a bibliotherapy e-storybook for children coping with parental complex post-traumatic stress disorder

The e-storybook was perceived as a useful bibliotherapy tool to support child and family outcomes and to facilitate meaningful conversations about family experiences.

Spatio-Temporal Statistical Assessment of Water Quality Dynamics in the Kelani River, Sri Lanka: A Data-Driven Framework for Sustainable River Basin Management

The Kelani River is one of the most important freshwater resources in Sri Lanka, supplying drinking water, supporting aquatic ecosystems, and sustaining industrial and agricultural activities. However, increasing anthropogenic pressures have intensified the need for comprehensive...

Effects of iso-nutritive creep-feeding formulations on nutrient digestibility, growth performance, and economic returns of Madura beef calves under smallholder conditions

Context Feeding locally designed creep feeds to Madura calves presents a viable opportunity for adoption by smallholder farmers. Aim This study evaluated the effects of iso-nutritive creep-feeding formulations on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, growth performance, feed effic...

BRiDGENav: Belief-Driven Risk-Aware Dynamic Guidance and Event-Triggered Navigation

Human–robot interaction (HRI) and navigation in crowded indoor spaces require robots to reason not only about where humans may be but also about whether uncertain human motion conflicts with the robot’s intended path. Existing context-aware particle filtering (CA-PF) provides a u...

Growing Degree Day Targets for Fruit Development of Australian Mango Cultivars II Harvest Windows

Forecasting the mango harvest window from flowering aids cultivar selection and harvest planning. This study evaluated the cross-site and cross-season generalizability of accumulated growing degree days (GDD) calculated using either a lower base temperature (Tb) alone or both low...

Advertising with HAART: Introducing Human–AI Asymmetric Relationship Theory

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)is rapidly reconfiguring advertising from message delivery and optimization to relationship-like exchanges between consumers and brands. While existing work has explained these interactions through social response accounts and interperson...

Quality of life and supportive care among informal caregivers of people with cancer during a critical illness in the ICU: A mixed methods systematic review

Objectives To synthesise the evidence on the experiences of HRQoL, psychological well-being, and supportive care needs among informal caregivers of patients with cancer in the ICU and the experiences of the MDT to deliver supportive care. Methods This mixed methods systematic rev...

Navigating the exploitation–exploration paradox: the impact of industry 4.0 technologies on supply chain performance from the Organisational ambidexterity lens

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies have significant potential to improve supply chain performance, yet organisations often struggle to realise these benefits in practice. Drawing on Structural Ambidexterity Theory, this study examines how specific I4.0 technologies affect core supp...

Effects of water intrusion on fracture characteristics of hard coal

Abstract Aquifer water can cause serious geological hazards by catastrophically rushing into underground space. The water seepage can increase the moisture content and pore pressure of coal/rock, which can change mechanical behaviour of coal/rock subject to tectonic and abutment...

Perfiles de factores de riesgo en lactantes nacidos prematuramente y a término con parálisis cerebral en Argentina: Resultados del Registro Argentino de Parálisis Cerebral

Prevalence of elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, and cardiometabolic risk factors among rural adults in Chattogram Division, Bangladesh

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly hypertension and diabetes, represent a growing public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Comprehensive community-based data on cardiometabolic risk factors among rural adults in Chattogram Division, Banglad...

Data analytics and last-mile delivery in urban areas: challenges and opportunities

Purpose This research explores how data analytics can address last-mile delivery (LMD) challenges in urban areas. LMD is the most expensive, least efficient, and most environmentally damaging supply chain phase, yet analytics adoption remains uneven. Design/methodology/approach A...

Dual Illegibility, Ambiguous Loss, and Disenfranchised Grief: A Hybrid Model for Understanding AI Companion Bereavement
