How have flight operations between China and Europe changed since the Russia–Ukraine war?

This study examines how direct flight services between China and Europe changed during the COVID-19 pandemic and after the Russia–Ukraine war began in February 2022. We use monthly airport pair–airline data from January 2014 to September 2024. Our baseline model is a panel regres...

Multi-objective optimized signal decomposition with explainable and reliable hybrid models for multistep significant wave height forecasting in ocean wave energy applications

Accurate forecasting of significant wave height (Hs) is vital for marine safety, coastal engineering, and renewable energy production. This study presents an effective integrated model system to forecast Hs for two distinct sites in Australia, Gladstone and Palm Beach, over vario...

The Pursuit of Security: How Loneliness Shapes Consumers' Preference for Simple Versus Complex Packaging Designs

ABSTRACT This research examines how loneliness influences consumers' preferences for the design (simple vs. complex) of product packaging and uncovers the underlying mechanisms across 7 studies, including 1 survey and 6 experimental designs ( N = 1636). The results show that lone...

The knowledge-sharing paradox: rewards, creativity, and the moderating roles of transformational leadership and emotional intelligence in employee cheating and turnover intentions

Purpose This study aims to examine how knowledge sharing behaviours within organisations influence employee outcomes, specifically turnover intentions and cheating behaviours, while considering both organisational and individual antecedents. It develops and tests an integrated mo...

USF-Net: a Unified Spatiotemporal Fusion Network for ground-based remote sensing cloud image sequence extrapolation

Ground-based remote sensing cloud image sequence extrapolation is a key research area in the development of photovoltaic power systems. However, existing approaches exhibit several limitations:(1)they primarily rely on static kernels to augment feature information, lacking adapti...

The Algorithmic Well‐Being Paradox: When AI Decision Delegation Helps and Hurts Consumer Well‐Being

ABSTRACT As generative AI increasingly shapes consumer decision‐making, its implications for consumer well‐being remain unclear. Existing research largely focuses on the trade‐off between algorithmic efficiency and autonomy loss. This research advances understanding by proposing...

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...

Flipped learning for leader empowering leadership among nurse leaders in residential aged care facilities: a pilot cluster quasi-experimental study

Empowering leadership by nurse leaders is crucial for creating positive workplace environments. However, no previous studies have investigated the effects of educational interventions utilizing a flipped-learning approach to cultivate empowering leadership behaviors among nurse l...

Not all cover is equal: a multi-material comparison of artificial cover boards for small vertebrate surveys in subtropical Queensland, Australia

Abstract Artificial cover boards (ACBs) are increasingly used globally for surveying small vertebrates. Comparative studies assessing multiple ACB types simultaneously; however, are uncommon, especially in subtropical regions. This study evaluated detection probabilities for rept...

Rheology and Fresh-State Performance of Wet-Mix Shotcrete Containing Crushed Glass Aggregate

The increasing demand for sustainable construction materials has intensified interest in alternative fine aggregates for shotcrete production. Crushed glass aggregate (CGA) offers environmental and economic benefits by diverting waste glass from landfills and reducing reliance on...

Coordinated Electronic‐Transport Regulation and Multiscale Phonon Scattering in Sb–La Co‐Doped GeTe

ABSTRACT GeTe is a promising p‐type thermoelectric material for mid‐to‐high temperature applications because of its favorable electronic structure and excellent transport potential. However, its thermoelectric performance is still limited by excessive hole concentration and insuf...

Digital irresponsibility in the gig economy: insights from a mixed-methods study

Purpose Present study examines how corporate digital irresponsibility (CDI) contributes to self-regulatory failure among online food delivery workers. Self-regulatory failure is operationalised through two outcomes, namely burnout and risky driving behaviour. Drawing on psycholog...

Effects of self-acupressure on the fatigue-sleep disturbance-depression symptom cluster in breast cancer survivors: a phase III randomised controlled trial

PURPOSE: To explore the effectiveness and safety of self-acupressure intervention on the fatigue-sleep disturbance-depression symptom cluster (FSDSC) among breast cancer (BC) survivors and to explore within-trial costs associated with the intervention. METHODS: Eligible participa...

GPS-Derived Spatial–Temporal Metrics for Characterizing Collective Tactical Behavior in Elite Rugby Union

Spatial–temporal metrics offer a promising framework for quantifying collective tactical behavior in rugby union, yet their application across multiple matches and try-scoring contexts remains limited. Building on a single-match case study introducing these metrics to rugby union...

Does Board Gender Diversity at Target Firms Influence Acquisition Outcomes? Us Evidence

ABSTRACT Using US public‐to‐public mergers and acquisitions from 1999 to 2022, we examine how board gender diversity at target firms influences acquisition outcomes. Firms with gender‐diverse boards are less likely to receive acquisition bids; when they do, they command higher pr...
