The article contains a feasibility analysis of using big data of payment systems for building forecasting models for the dynamics of consumer demand as a core factor of the retail turnover. The relevance of this research...

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...

Products often operate in dynamic environments, and field failure data is frequently heavily censored, posing significant challenges in the assessment of product reliability. To enhance the accuracy of field reliability ...

Abstract In this study, a new three-parameter Lomax distribution is proposed using the beta transformation technique. The new distribution is named Beta Transformed Lomax distribution. Some mathematical properties of the...

BackgroundMapping health literacy (HL) enables health information and treatment to align with individuals’ preferences and potentially makes healthcare truly person-centered. Without valid and reliable measurement tool...

The Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) is a promising flood-modelling tool available for most river basins worldwide. However, it contains inherent biases, notably linked to its spatial resolution. This study propose...

Land evaluation is an essential step in determining the potential use of marginal areas where agricultural productivity is limited by poor soil conditions. Coastal lands represent one of challenging environments, however...

The present article examines four interrelated elements of the economy: namely, markets, labour, production, and distribution. These elements thus function as principles and laws. This approach is predicated on the premi...

Abstract Ensuring equitable park access amid rapid urbanization and population ageing is essential. We propose an integrated framework that couples street-network impedance modelling with streetscape visual perception to...

Culverts play a critical role in stormwater conveyance, roadway safety, and flood mitigation, particularly within low-lying urban communities vulnerable to extreme rainfall events. In Louisiana, increased rainfall intens...

Hydrological models commonly use very simple snow accumulation and melt models based on air temperature information, namely, a temperature threshold for snow accumulation as well as for snowmelt, and a melt factor. This ...

Abstract Balance control is fundamental to the quality of life among older adults, yet its neural underpinnings remain only partially understood. Despite advances in neuroimaging techniques, the neural correlates of bala...

The RAG1 and RAG2 genes encode proteins essential for initiating V(D)J recombination in T cell receptor and immunoglobulin gene loci. Biallelic pathogenic variants in these genes are implicated in a spectrum of immunodef...

The study investigates how job-sharing practices influence academic staff’s perceived organisational performance of universities in Tanzania. Guided by Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, the study conceptualises job shari...

In preparation for the SOOS/OCEAN:ICE Workshop on ice-ocean observation harmonization and future priorities agenda, a survey targeting the modelling community was conducted to assess research priorities for the Southern ...

The increasing role of health and quality of life factors in shaping modern socio-economic development models, along with the transformation of consumer behavior, contributes to the growing scale of the wellness economy....

Background: Students’ prior mathematical knowledge plays a critical role in their success in university mathematics, yet it is often treated diagnostically rather than instructionally. Aim: This study examines studen...

Accurate estimates of the potential number of daily visitors are an important parameter in the planning of transportation infrastructure, allowing the development of appropriate solutions for specific planning cases. In ...

Hydro-climatic extremes are intensifying across India, underscoring the need for fine-resolution socioeconomic vulnerability (SEV) assessments that can guide adaptation and disaster risk reduction (DRR). Most existing SE...

Drought is a slow-onset natural disaster that has far-reaching effects on agriculture, water security, and socio-economic systems, especially in climate-vulnerable countries such as Malaysia. It is imperative to predict ...

Abstract Motion‐activated cameras (‘camera‐traps’) have become indispensable for wildlife monitoring. Data from camera‐trap surveys can be used to make inferences about animal behaviour, space use and populatio...

The digital transformation of higher education institutions (HEIs) has introduced unprecedented connectivity and operational efficiency, but it has also heightened their exposure to cyber threats. South African HEIs, in ...

Background: Climate change increasingly shapes development outcomes, necessitating its integration into evaluation processes. In Africa, recurrent droughts, floods and temperature extremes disrupt progress across sector...

Pain after surgery is of major perioperative concern because it is associated with substantial complications, including chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) development. The CPSP incidence is high, and its accurate predicti...
