IntroductionThe cost of veterinary care is a significant concern for many pet owners. Despite the growing use of the internet for service-related information, there is limited research regarding the accessibility of vete...

Online local budget transparency (OLBT) has been recognized as an important feature of good governance. Accordingly, in this paper, OLBT is measured in all 128 cities and a sample of 100 municipalities in Croatia using s...

Abstract In 2011, Brazil finally approved a Freedom of Information (FOI) Act that recognises and regulates the right to public information. However, scholars have paid insufficient attention to its impact on Brazilian fo...

The purpose of this study was to establish the role of public audit in ensuring transparency and accountability in corporate governance under varying institutional systems. The analysis encompassed six companies from Aus...

We investigate the electronic transport at the internal interface within a selection of metallic bilayer nanostructures using the contact-free, all-optical method of THz time-domain spectroscopy. The Ru/Co, Ru/Pt, and Ru...

Abstract Sartre’s obscure but evocative remarks on bodily awareness have often been cited, but, I argue, they have rarely been understood. This paper aims to bring the connection between Sartre's views on bodily awaren...

The increasing global temperatures have escalated the demand for indoor cooling, thus requiring energy-saving solutions. Traditional approaches often integrate metal layers in cooling windows to block near-infrared (NIR)...

Ultracompact chip-integrated all-optical diode is realized experimentally in a plasmonic microstructure, consisting of a plasmonic waveguide side-coupled two asymmetric plasmonic composite nanocavities covered with a mul...

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education presents both opportunities and ethical challenges. In Malaysia, private universities are adopting AI at a pace that often outshines the development of ...

The increasing complexity of halal supply chains has intensified transparency challenges, yet limited studies integrate behavioural and innovation theories to explain consumer adoption of blockchain-based halal traceabil...

Lack of transparency of the funds and lack of immutability of the funds’ records are large problems today, especially in the societies’ funds. Leveraging the Ethereum Blockchain, the system ensures complete...

The study examines the moderating role of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption between tax avoidance and the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria. This research explores wh...

As Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) adoption accelerates, systematic integration of explainability is imperative for reliability, transparency, and continuous quality assurance. This paper presents a scoping review ex...

Layered materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichacogenides and black phosphorus have attracted lots of attention recently. They are emerging novel materials in electronics and photonics, with tremendo...

Abstract Matheus Valente presents a number of examples designed to show that my theory of reference fixing for demonstratives violates the desideratum that demonstrative thoughts should be transparent to speakers. In thi...

Abstract Contractor-related deficiencies remain a critical challenge in workplace health and safety management within high-risk industries, particularly in the oil and gas sector, where heterogeneous safety practices and...

Abstract Credit risk assessment is a critical function in financial analytics, requiring models that can adapt to diverse borrower profiles while providing clear and interpretable insights. Although a range of data drive...

Abstract Accurate farmland market data plays a crucial role in decision-making for policymakers, investors and operators. We present a nationwide, parcel-level dataset of farmland rent in China, derived from eight survey...

Abstract Background Malaria continues to pose a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where more than 95% of global cases and deaths occur. Despite WHO Global Technical Strategy for Malaria (GTS) tar...

Artificial intelligence (AI) models developed for Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) observations have demonstrated competitive performance in estimating geophysical parameters, especially ocean su...

Integrated photonics based on silicon has drawn a lot of interests, since it is able to provide compact solution for functional devices, and its fabrication process is compatible with the mature complementary metal-oxide...

Abstract This paper proposes a novel hybrid ensemble machine learning framework integrated with Explainable AI (XAI) to overcome the fundamental trade-off between non-detection zones (NDZ) and false positives in conventi...

Abstract Background No mandatory policies currently exist to address food environments in Belgium. Monitoring commitments and practices by food industry actors is essential for increasing accountability. The aim of this ...

Federated learning (FL) is a decentralized machine learning (ML) approach that can be used for intrusion detection in Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It involves the local training of AI models and their aggregation at...
