Antecedents and outcomes of corporate digital social responsibility in hospitality and tourism: a systematic review and integrative framework

This study synthesises corporate digital social responsibility (CDSR) research in hospitality and tourism and proposes an integrative framework linking antecedents, digital design characteristics, mechanisms, and outcomes. Using structured search logic and PRISMA-aligned screenin...

Progressive degradation-aware distillation for robust indoor object detection

Indoor object detection in real-world deployments often suffers from severe performance degradation due to complex structural corruptions such as motion blur, sensor noise, and compression artifacts, which are exacerbated by low-resolution capture in resource-constrained settings...

Exploring in-service Chinese as a second language teachers’ cognition and stated practices in teaching intercultural communicative competence

Abstract The cultivation of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) has become an increasingly important objective in language education. The rapid global expansion of Chinese as a second language (CSL) education has highlighted a gap in research on how in-service CSL teache...
