Artificial Intelligence-Based Quality Control of Pharmaceutical Tablets: A Visual Dataset and Benchmark for Automated Defect Detection

Background/Objectives: Automated visual inspection of pharmaceutical tablets is increasingly important for detecting manufacturing defects and maintaining consistent product quality. Progress in artificial intelligence-based defect classification is, however, constrained by the s...

Economic decision-making in collectivist contexts: A qualitative extension of institutionally embedded preference theory among university support staff

While behavioral economics increasingly recognizes social preferences, the mechanisms through which informal institutions and cultural norms shape economic choices in South Asian collectivist contexts are undertheorized. This paper offers a qualitative comparative extension of th...

Phosphorus and Arsenic Removal Characteristics of FMBO-S Adsorbent and Its Field Applicability to Arsenic-Contaminated Groundwater in Punjab, Pakistan

This study evaluated the phosphorus and arsenic removal characteristics of starch-stabilized ferromanganese binary oxide (FMBO-S) and examined its applicability to actual arsenic-contaminated groundwater in Punjab, Pakistan. In the field water-quality investigation, 954 groundwat...

How Norms Depend on the Presence and Status of Observers: The Relational Contingency of Everyday Behaviors in 90 Societies

Norms are fundamental to social life, but basic questions about how they are affected by social context remain. Specifically, how do normative constraints depend on the presence and status of observers, and how do such relational contingencies vary across cultures? Using data fro...

Towards a Theory of Institutionally Embedded Preferences

This paper develops a decision-theoretic formalization of how informal institutions affect economic decision-making. Standard behavioral and institutional models widely recognize that social institutions influence economic choice. However, they frequently represent this influence...
