A PGSA approach to interactive pricing optimization: converting consumer costs into marketing value

Purpose This study reconceptualizes interactive pricing as a reciprocal and value co-creation process that sets personalized optimal prices to drive purchases and profit margins. We introduce Predictive Global Sensitivity Analysis (PGSA) as a method for real-time interactive pric...

Intelligent Business Document Processing Using AI- and NLP-Based Techniques: A Systematic Literature Review

<title>Abstract</title> This literature review examines the emerging integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) in intelligent business document processing. The primary objective of this study is to identify intelligent platforms capable of...

A bibliometric analysis of preprints in traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine research

Abstract Background Traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM) encompasses a wide range of healthcare practices and is of growing global interest. Preprints, scientific manuscripts posted prior to formal peer review, offer opportunities to address challenges in T...

Carbon-rich carbon nitride for singlet-oxygen-driven photocatalytic degradation of benzophenone-3 and coral vitality recovery

Coral reefs, vital marine ecosystems, are increasingly threatened by global warming and chemical pollutants such as benzophenone-3 (BP-3), a widely used UV filter. To address this challenge, we present a carbon-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) photocatalyst with efficient...

Exploring the financial resilience of REITs across three crises

Purpose This study examines the static and dynamic resilience of REITs in Australia, Singapore, France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States during three major global events – the September 11 attacks in the US, the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and th...

Trophic Antioxidant Transfer as a Measure for Scalable Coral Conservation Strategies

Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by elevated seawater temperatures associated with heatwaves and El Niño events. These phenomena challenge conventional management practices, highlighting an urgent need for innovative interventions to enhance reef resilience. Investigating...

Why Are Cascade Birth Interventions Rising?

The increasing use of birth interventions has prompted global policy and research focus. This study attempts to enhance our understanding of why this increase is occurring. Using a population-based dataset of over 1.3 million births in New South Wales, Australia (2004–2018), we i...

Quantum spectroscopy with undetected photons for biomolecular sensing in the mid-infrared

We investigate numerical modelling of quantum spectroscopy with undetected photons for protein detection in the mid-infrared spectral region. Classical Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy of protein samples (bovine serum albumin and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide) i...

Factors associated with bowel cancer screening participation among First Nations Peoples receiving home health care services in New South Wales, Australia

First Nations Australians consistently exhibit lower bowel screening participation rates than non-First Nations Australians. However, limited studies have been conducted to understand the factors associated with bowel cancer screening participation among First Nations Australians...

A Hybrid Vision Transformer and EfficientNet-B3 Framework for Facial Expression Recognition

Facial expression recognition technology is vital for security, verification, and personalization, but it faces challenges due to variations in scale, illumination, occlusion, and facial expressions. This paper presents a hybrid architecture that combines Vision Transformers (ViT...

It’s Not Really the Words; It’s How They Land: Lived Experience Perspectives on the Use of Language and Labels in Mental Health

The language used to describe and discuss mental ill-health continues to evolve and improve, driven by advocacy and commitment to reducing the harmful effects of stigma. However, from a lived experience perspective, room for improvement remains. This project aimed to explore the...

Simulated marine heatwaves promote greater post-harvest Vibrio parahaemolyticus abundances in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) but not Sydney rock oysters (Saccostrea glomerata)

Context Climate change is increasing the frequency of marine heatwaves (MHW), raising concerns about foodborne illness linked to marine pathogens such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Aims To determine whether simulated MHW conditions promote accumulation of V. parahaemolyticus in oys...

Spatiotemporal-switchable 2D NIR-II single-atom nanozyme for single-cell–level surgical navigation and glioblastoma phototherapy

Single-cell–level resolution tumor therapy represents an advanced strategy against glioblastoma but lacks suitable theranostic agents. Here, we developed a spatiotemporal-switchable, two-dimensional (2D), bismuthene-based second near-infrared window (NIR-II) nanozyme. In this pla...

Why are there so many different guidelines? A qualitative study of the low back pain policy landscape in Australia

Low back pain is a major cause of disease burden around the world. The sheer number and variety of back pain guidelines developed in Australia suggests that there are drivers within the low back pain care landscape to promote development of guidelines which are produced by a wide...

Gender Inequality and Social Capital in Academic Finance Networks

Abstract Finance academia remains heavily male dominated, yet the mechanisms driving women’s underrepresentation are not fully understood. This study examines how co-authorship networks shape gendered access to and mobilisation of social capital by integrating Social Capital Theo...

Progress in reaching zero-dose children: analysis of population-modifiable risk factors and inequity trends in low- and lower-middle-income countries

Zero-dose (ZD) children remain concentrated in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) and are a major focus of the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030), which aims to halve their number by 2030. Despite this commitment, progress has stalled in many high-burden settings. Thi...

A theoretical model for the ethical use of generative AI tools in higher education assessments

Purpose This study aims to develop a theoretical framework to identify the key factors influencing the ethical use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in academic assessments from a student perspective. Design/methodology/approach Grounded in digital literacy theo...

Beyond Publication: Clinical and Translational Research under Pressure

Clinical and translational research (CTR) aims to move scientific knowledge into practice and improve health outcomes. This function is increasingly challenged by declining confidence in institutions, fragmented information environments, and changing roles of researchers in socie...

The Evolutionary Frameworks Project - The 15 Frameworks

This document provides the first complete, canonical assignment of all fifteen theoretical frameworks within the Evolutionary Frameworks Project. It maps each framework into one of the five thematic clusters defined in the Master Outline (Version 1.0), establishing the structural...
